PLAYER WHY HE KILLED HIS NEPHEW. Dr. Carter Here--He Tells of His Great Trial in Petersburg--A Question of Color. COLORED VENDOR CLAIMED TO BE A WHITE MAN. HIS WIFE INSANE. Dr. W. M. Carter, the medicine race." He had put up at a vendor of Petersburg, Va., who was recently acquitted of the murder of his nephew, Dr. H. H. Cox, was in the city last week. He came to Richmond on the evening of the day that he was given his liberty in the Hustings Court of Petersburg, Va. He has been sick for some time and he is not well yet. A cough troubles him. He still has the prison pallor upon his countenance. "I proved," he said, "that Cox had tried to do me bodily injury." PASSED FOR A WHITE MAN. "There had been bad feeling between us. Dr. Cox was my nephew. His mother is my sister. She lives now at Orum, S C. He had straighter hair than I, and he passed for a white man. He had been going to these white houses of prostitution and he got put out. He became angry with me because I told the people here that he was, my nephew. I ordered him away from my house. That night after 12 o'clock I heard a noise in my yard and I went out and found a man trying to set fire to my house. SHOT IN FRONT. "I had a shot gun and as he started towards me I fired. The shot struck him in front. Some of them entered his chin. He was killed in my yard. They tried to make it appear that. I lured him there and killed him on account of my wife, but there was nothing to it. He stole my sister's picture from my house at one time." A remark was made about his ability to shoot. "Yes," said Dr. Carter, "I am a crack shot and have a record for being one in two States. I am sorry, of course, that I killed him. I have not been in any shooting scrape before." A BROTHER IN FLORENCE. "Dr. H. H. Cox has a brother, named George O. Cox in Florence, S. C. He is in the real estate business and he is a well-to-do. He came up here. In fact, he was the main one prosecuting me. He paid the expenses of Dr. Cox's funeral. He swore that Dr. Cox was a white man, and was his brother. He swore also that he did not know, me, when he knows that his mother is my sister and she is alive. and is now living at Orum, S. C. QUICKLY ACQUITTED The jury heard all of the evidence and acquitted me in thirty minutes. I do not know where I shall locate and I came here, Mr. Mitchell, for some advice from you. I am still in debt to my lawyers and I do not wish to go too far away for fear that they may think I am getting out of their way. I made over to them my $400 piano, and it is over here to be sold now. My wife went violently insane nine days before my trial. I think the fact that she had no one to provide for her while I was in jail did much to bring this about. A SOUTH CAROLINA NEWSPAPER Dr. Carter handed us the following clipping which appeared before the trial in a newspaper published at Florence, South Carolina: Mr. J. A. Muldrow, clerk of the court has just returned from a trip to Peterburg, Va., where he went as a character witness for a Negro who some time ago left this country to make his home there: His name is Carter, and he is accused of murder. He shot his nephew, Henry Cox, also a Florence Negro, one of the well known family of Negroes at Orum. The story is an interesting, though a very dirty and disgusting one. The Negro, Cox, it will be remembered was allowed to get out of the county in lieu of punishment for the shooting of Mr. Hatchell and his son in the Orum neighborhood, and it shows the folly of damping the violence of one neighborhood on the people of another. A LORD OF SATAN. The evidence in the request showed that this巾帛 of Sudan had gone to Petersburg and passed himself off as a white man, for the family are very nearly white, a stumbling rebelle to the lord and heir of the white race. He had put up at a hotel for white people and gone with white people in the city, and to white houses of debauchery, where he met his Waterloo, for one of the women there recognized the inebible scent of the Negro and she put up a howl that was heard by some of the white men frequenters of the place, and they went to the Negro Carter, who was highly esteemed and who had been known to be familiar with the Cox man, and they told him that he had always enjoyed the respect of the people and they wanted to know whether this young sport was a Negro or not. He said that he could not refuse to give the information when it was asked for on such grounds and he told them that the young blood was his sister's child and he had a picture of the mother at his home if they cared to see it. STOLE THE PICTURE. The evidence goes on to show that the man Carter charged the boy Henry Cox with breaking in his house and stealing the picture, and that later Cox went to the insurance agent and swore to a statement that was put in evidence, that his uncle had offered to pay him a sum of money to burn his house for the insurance money. The agent sent for Carter and he declared that he was not going to be subject to arrest for such a thing, that Cox meant to burn his house and he cancelled the policy. He charges that the nephew made three attempts to burn him out, and that it was on the third attempt that he shot and killed him. Carter was still in jail on the charge of murder when Mr. Muldrow left Petersburg but he thought that the sentiment of the community was so strong that he would soon be released and given a reward for his killing of Cox. A THREATENING LETTER This Negro Cox is thought to be the same one who wrote a very threatening letter to the editor of the Times once, promising to do things to him for calling the Coxes Negroes and which was published at the time of its receipt in this paper. REV. CINCORE HERE Remarkable Exhibition of Rare Talent. Rev. David S. Cincore of Philadelphia. Pa. gave a remarkable entertainment at the Third St. A. M. E. Church last Monday night. He possessed rare ability as an elocutionist, orator and tragedian. His rendition of selections from Shakespeare must be seen and heard in order to be appreciated. His truly remarkable powers are entitled not only to encouragement but to financial reward. To hear him is to be well repaid for the mere pittance which he charges as an admission fee.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1914 We've Caught our Easter Rabbit! A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Newboy Killed—Influential White Folks Testify. A most distressing accident occurred on Marshall Street near Thirteenth Street. Joseph Goode, a 13-year-old newsboy ran across the street, only to be run down and killed by a speeding automobile, known as the police, patrol. It was driven by the chauffeur, W. H. Metcalfe. The testimony before the Coroner's jury established the fact that Metcalfe was exceeding the speed limit. TRAVELLING FAST. As further evidence of this, the automobile was travelling up-hill and could easily have been checked, had it not be heard going at such a terrific speed. The witnesses in the case were Miss Helen Stevens, daughter of President George W. Stevens, Miss Mary Moulton, Miss Missie F. Archer, Miss Virginia B. Gordon, all white and Mr. J. H. Stoken, colored. They testified that it was travelling too fast. It seemed that the boy was running towards the sidewalk and before he could reach it, the patrol was upon him. passed over his body, crushing out his life. He was stretched out upon the pavement. The blood gushed from his mouth and a few moments thereafter, he was dead. The situation was intensified when it became known that young Goode's father was at that time lying a corpse. The boy was soon carried to rest beside his father. A contest arose as to who should have the funeral of the boy. Moesna. A. D. Price, W. Isaac Johnson, and Sons and Brown Brothers put in respective claims. Mr. Price had charge of Mr. Goode's remains and finally secured those of the boy. The accident occurred Saturday April 4, 1914.

SUICIDE CLOSES THE CHAPTER—HONORED BUT DISGRACED HIS UNIFORM. This city was shocked last Tuesday morning when it became generally known that a police sergeant, sworn to uphold the law, had killed a white woman and then turned the revolver on himself and ended his own life. The tragic affair took place last Monday night at about 10:45 o'clock at 714 W. Broad St. Philip L. Neisz, well known in old Jackson Ward and for years a Democratic judge and worker in the First Precinct of that Ward, was the murderer and Mrs. Roberta Lester, the victim. Surprised. Dr. S. C. Manuel, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church was given quite a surprise in honor of his birthday last Friday night. Led by Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Callis, Brown a host of the members of safe church met at Mrs. Brown's and went at once to the residence of Dr. Manuel, just as he was preparing to retire and rushed in upon him. Rev. J. Cook led in prayer and in behalf of the friends present and absent, presented the Dr. with a box. A PATIETIC SCENE. Mrs. Lester acted as the agent for the Virginia Laundry. The story as told is pathetic. Mrs. Lester had respectable family' connections. She had strayted from the paths of rectitude only to learn that "the wagon of sin is death." The story as told is startling, horrible and almost inconceivable. When Mrs. Lester, who was thirty years old and comely, retired about 10 o'clock last Monday, night with her two children, Jam a. 6 and Grace, 3, in the three-room dwelling at 714 W. Brond Street, she was careful to see (Continued On Fifth Page.) Union Plays Hampton Here Easter. Interest is centered around the impending intercolastic series.

How the Holy Day is Observed in Various Parts of the Earth. The greatest Easter celebration is at Jerusalem. Jerusalem at Easter is crowded with pilgrims. The historic Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the center. According to tradition, this church contains Christ's tomb. Great as it is, it is too small for the Easter crowds. Nowhere in all the world is there so cosmopolitan an Easter gathering. Nowhere else is Easter celebrated with such impressive pomp and ceremonial. Jerusalem is the historic city in which Christ's spiritual embassy began. All the churches of Jerusalem are crowded at Jerusalem, the crowning glory of the religious year. In Bremen, Christian women distribuyen ores mixed with the symbol of the crown in the prince's silver chariots towrd the dawn of Easter in Berlin, blown by trumpeters in the imperial palace tower. At the commence of Italy, Austria, Spain and Portugal Minor day is the occasion of a silent honour and a military display. Lily: the Gentle Flower Lilies have been cultivated in American gardens since early ancient days, but the phlox Madison Lily is the from common area in New England and Virginia, where it dominates and its first bloom. The old name Lily is technically true, and the larger Lily has much or more than a fair amount of biodiversity. And biodiversity and the species and the life of lilies, that are we must be particularly describe figures in the botanical series of five—the chapters that show that there are a more or more of easy to grow species, with numerous varieties and hybrids. And how many kinds of Lilies are frequently seen in greenhouses? Just one—"Lilies," by H. S. Adams.

Colored men must observe high ideals and act in accordance with fundamental right principles in order to maintain self-respect and enlist the sympathy and support of the best people, regardless of color in this country. They cannot properly complain of unfair treatment of themselves by a certain class of white people, and then when vested with power, practice upon each other the very injustice of which complaint is made in others. The opportunities afforded colored men of intelligence and learning in the fraternal organizations of the country, should be used to demonstrate our ability for self-government. The best class of white people should be imitated and not the worst classes. When we observe the actions of some of our educated people their conduct is disheartening. Yet, we know that the great body of the colored people is all right. We were induced to make these remarks after observing the attitude of the officer, of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A., at Baltimore last August. In a wild scramble for money, they threw discretion to the winds. Let us see. Under the laws of the Order each Grand Lodge has exclusive, original jurisdiction over the subordinate lodges and the members attached to the same. The Supreme Lodge or its officers cannot tax the members of a lodge in a state having a Grand Lodge. The Constitution provides a representative tax of $25 on each Supreme Representative to the Supreme Lodge. As no State has less than two Supreme Representatives or more than four, the tax was not less than $50.00 per term or more than $100.00 per term. For this the only return is the password. The salaries and travelling expenses of the Supreme Chancellor and other officers had been increased. The Supreme Keeper of Record and Seal warned the Supreme Lodge of these reckless expenditures and for this he was put out of office. The Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia protested and for this the Supreme Chancellor suspended and put out of the Order, not only the Grand Lodge, but also the subordinate lodges and the members attached to the same, although he had no power over any but the Grand Lodge. The new constitution which requires a two-thirds vote to adopt was alleged to have been adopted. One test vote disclosed the fact that there were 51 ayes, 14 nays with 53 members of the Supreme Lodge absent. Of the 51 votes, 20 were office-holders and 8 Deputy Supreme Chancellors appointed by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, with the power to vote. This loft 23 Supreme Representatives out of an elected membership of 90, all of whom had been in Baltimore to attend the session, but they were tired out, for the Constitution was finally "adopted" after 9 o'clock Saturday night, after a week's deliberations. All that a Grand Lodge receives from the Supreme Lodge is the password. The password is a word framed and promulgated by the Supreme Chancellor. In order to pay high salaries and running expenses, for each Grand Lodge pays its own endowment and defrays its own expenses, the Supreme Lodge with a majority of the elected Supreme Representatives absent made an increase in taxation. It was done under the guise of a ten cent and a five cent tax on each member. As it was only for a password, the value of a password may be estimated from the following statement of facts: Alabama's biennial tax was $100. It was changed to $144.00, an increase of $126.00 per term. Arkansas' biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,126.20, an increase of $1,024.20. California's biennial tax was $50.00. / It was changed to $65.25, an increase of $18.25. Colorado's biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $46.50, a decrease of $6.50, but as the membership increases will pass the $100 limit. The District of Columbia' biennial tax was $80.00. It was changed to $90.25, an increase of $90.25. Florida's Memorial tax was $104.00 It was changed to $993.40, an increase of $99.00. George's bien nai tax was $109.00. It was changed to $4,493.00, an increase of $5,000. Kimberly's Memorial tax was $400.00. I was changed to $345.95, an increase of $45.55. Indiana's Biennial in the $300.00. It was changed to $309.50, an increase of $99.00. Kimberly's Biennial tax was $99.00. It was changed to $1,57.70, an increase of $77.70. THE RICHMOND PLANET; RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

ASHLEY M. GOULD Justice. Clerk. This cause coming on to be heard upon the bill of complaint, the affidavits in support thereof, the rule to show cause, and the answer, it is, upon consideration thereof, this second day of February, 1914 by the Court— ADJUDGED, ORDERED and DECREED that the defendants and each of them and their officers, agents and attorneys, and all others on their behalf, be and they are hereby restrained, during the tendency of this suit, or until the further order of the Court, from declaring or treating the fraternal charter of the plaintiff corporation as revoked and from declaring or treating the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the jurisdiction of Virginia, as dissolved; and from declaring or treating the lodges subordinate to the plaintiff in the State of Virginia and the members attached to the same as not entitled to the rights and privileges of members! the order of the defendant corporation, and from calling members elsewhere to regard and treat such subordinate lodges and members as not so entitled; and from attempting to enforce the decree or enactment of the Supreme Lodge, supporting to revoke the charter of the plaintiff and to dissolve the said Grand Lodge, of the jurisdiction of Virginia; and from circulating any proclamations or letters addressed to the Grand Lodges, subordinate lodges and members of the order, calling attention to or calculated or intended to carry into effect and enforce the attempted revocation of the plaintiff's fraternal charter and dissolution of said Grand Lodge; and from setting up or attempting or purporting to set up, within the State of Virginia, a Grand Lodge, other than the plaintiff, of the Knights of Pythias of the order of the defendant corporation; and from doing any other act or thing on the assumption that the said Grand Lodge of the State of Virginia has been dissolved or that its fraternal charter has been revoked. assessed biennially ($9,525.75) nine thousand, two hundred and fifty-two dollars and seventy-five cents and the District Deputy Supreme Chancellors are not assessed as much as a penny. The new constitution alleged to have been adopted at the last session requires all Grand Lodges to surrender their present state charters of incorporation and to reincorporate in the name of the Supreme Lodge. This would place all of the real-estate, money in the treasury and other property under the direct control of the Supreme Lodge. It can now be seen why Virginia and her Supreme Representatives were not wanted in the Supreme Lodge. It may be well to enquire how will the Supreme Representatives who were present explain all of these things to their constituents? What induced them to support these measures? Were they asleep, hypnotized or absent when these things took place? Who can defend it? In fact, how can anybody explain it? If the taxation is increased, then the benefits should be increased. But what did Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal C. K. Badgesson, who knew more about the internal affinity of the Supreme Lodge than any other person in the United States, tell the Supreme Lodge? In his report, he said: "At the last session, warned you of the condition which guaranteed you and warned you to prevent or speed the ship's movement, said the captain. Texas' biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,500.00, an increase of $1,400.00. Virginia's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $861.90, an increase of $761.90. West Virginia's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $275.00, an increase of $275.00. What is the amount of this taxation? ($18,50.50) Eighthe thousand, five hundred and twenty dollars and fifty cents. How much increase is this new taxation over the old taxation? ($16,124.00) Sixteen thousand, one hundred and twenty-four dollars. What will the Grand Lodge and subordinate Lodge receive, in return for this large amount of money paid over to Supreme Lodge offices? The same word. This is not all. At the session of the Supreme Lodge of Indianapolis, the Supreme Chancellor appointed 25 Deputy Supreme Chancellors, giving them the power to vote and extending to them the voting strength of six states, some of which paid on high as $84,400.46 per term, for the past wood. This was in violation of the Constitution of the Supreme Lodge. The records show that 24 Deputy Supreme Chancellors were appointed by the Supreme Chancellor at Indianapolis last August. He was politically raised when they had the right to vote. They apparently four Chancellors of interest at the past session of the Supreme Lodge. has been tamed and ever-tamed, until the patience, of the membership has almost reached the breaking point." What was the reply to this common sense, business plea? C. K. Robinson was put out of office and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, that backed up his plea for retreatment and reform was put out of the Supreme Lodge. Was the Grand Lodge, K. of P. put back into the Supreme Lodge? Yes, by the Supreme Court at Washington. How was this done? Because the Supreme Lodge, being incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia is subject to the courts there. This Supreme Court is higher than the Supreme Lodge. Has Virginia paid the unlawful tax loyy? No, but it has tendered all of the money for lawful tax levies, which amount was $100.00. Can the Supreme Lodge officials disregard the injunction and keep the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia out of the Supreme Lodge? No, not during the pendency, of this suit or until the Supreme Court revokes the restraining order or injunction What will be the result if other Grand Lodges refuse to pay the unlawful taxes? They can be suspended by the Supreme Chancellor and their charters revoked by the Supreme Lodge. Can they get back into the Supreme Lodge again, without paying the unlawful taxes? Oh, yes, they can come back by the "injunction route," just as Virginia has done and at much less cost. In fact, it would be cheaper to get the injunction than it would be to pay the tax. What is the penalty for violation of an injunction? Fine or imprisonment or both. The Supreme Court usually metes imprisonment, commonly known as "jail punishment." What is the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia's contention? That it has paid all taxes lawfully assessed against it. It refuses to pay any taxes unlawfully assessed against it. How shall the question be settled? By the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at Washington, which upon the plea of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia is investigating the facts and will render a decision in keeping with its findings. Can the facts herein cited be verified? Yes. Where? By examining the minutes of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore and by reading the Supreme Statutes, alleged to have been adopted at the same session, is the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia in favor of peace? Yes, and it believes this is the surest way of getting peace. We conclude with the words of Bunyan: "I have determined—the Almighty God being my help and my shield—yet to suffer; if trail life might conduce so long, even until the mos shall grow over my eye-brows, rather than violate my faith and my principles."

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va., as second-class matter. If the reports of the newspapers are correct, the wonder is that any of those Mexicans are still alive. --- "God helps those who help themselves." That is why it is necessary to work and support your wife and children. Ten hours work each day and ten minutes prayer are enough for any laboring man and will suffice to keep him all right with his Maker. A man who will let a woman support him and will not support the woman is not fit for either fatherhood or death. He should knock at the door of the public workhouse and ask the over-ager to treat him as he deserves to be treated. Colored folks should continue to watch and pray, lest they enter into temptation. Some of these white folks are saying some mighty mean things about them and the temptation to "cuss" them is strong, even though the colored folks are members of the church. --- THE OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRACY There can no longer be any doubt of the fact that the Democratic Party of the nation is badly split, even though it may not be hopeless so. It is drifting thought to that alarming condition. It is no longer to be doubted that the leaders of other parties and the disgruntled elements in the Democratic Party now believe that Hon. William J. Bryan, Secretary of State, is the dominant factor in the Wilson Administration and is to a great extent directing its policies. The success of President Wilson and his supporters in every great movement launched in Congress with his approval has brought the Democratic leaders who oppose both Mosam. Wilson and Bryan face to face with the fact that they have a political organization superbly organized and skillfully controlled for the purpose of carrying out the wishes of those two distinguished statesmen, who have the car of this country and upon whom are centered the eyes of the civilized world. The vote on the repeal of the free toll provision of the Panama Canal has shown with a pitiless certainty that the enemies of the Administration cannot hope to succeed save by a revolution among the rank and file of the people. This cannot be brought about without a vital issue. Whether or not the free tolls question will present that issue is open to discussion. It is charged that the platform of the National Democratic Convention hold at Baltimore has been disregarded. Still, the Wilson Democrats are giving the impression that the "interests" made a march, so to speak, on the Democratic Party when the free bell provision was inserted in the platform and that it was contrary to the letter and spirit of that Party's declarations, for it was a ship subsidy, which a plank in that platform strictly prohibits. Speaker Champ Clark made a popular statement, too, in his most fervid and remarkable address delivered in the House of Representatives, when he declared that if the present administration were a success, the president occupant of the White House will be unimpressed and elected. --- necessary to organizing a Party within a Party in order to protect the national organization from the representatives of the presidential interest, who are wearing the library of democracy in order to do their proselytizing work among the faithful followers at the polls. To sum up the situation, the Republicans are now divided, but the Democrats are rapidly becoming more divided. If the Democrats continue to become more divided, the Republicans will be able to win with their present division confronting them, for disgruntled Progressives will look their ranks and disgruntled Democrats will sulk and make it possible for them to win at the polls. Taken all in all, President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have had remarkable success and the wonder is that the Democratic Party is still intact and organized, ready to do battle in Congress or to give battle in the next political contest.

Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., March 31, '14 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Editor of The Richmond PLANET, Richmond, Va. Dear Editor: Allow me space in your paper, please, to call attention to the article in the News Leader of March 31st, which gives a brief account of a Negro woman that was lynched at Muskogee, Oklahoma on that date. The article stated that this Negro woman, on last Sunday killed a young white man by stabbing him to death. And early Tuesday morning she was dragged from her cell by a mob of white men and hanged to a telephone pole. Just below this article in the next column was an account of a white woman who was in jail with ten poor trembling Negro men standing before her, awaiting for one to be picked out as her assailant. How different were the two pictures. About two years or more ago, another Negro woman and son were lynched in this same State (Okla.) I feel that every Negro man should interest himself in this crime and do all that he can to see that the guilty ones are brought to justice. As for me, I pledge my race that I am willing to sacrifice anything I have. My life is the dearest thing I hold. I would, in God's name give it in trying to have these bloodless brutes punished by death, for this damnable crime. Bridgeport, Conn. Messiah Baptist Church, Rev. William Morton, D. D., Pastor. On Sunday night last our doors were thrown open for a ten days' or two weeks' series of meetings to be conducted by the Rev. W. H. Skipwith, the National and International Preacher and Singer. After traveling all day the "Evangelist" was somewhat tired, nevertheless he arrived on time and at 8:15 P. M. was at his post singing, "Let All the People Praise Thee." He delivered a most wonderful sermon from the subject of "Fishing" after which he extended an invitation to the unsaved during which time twenty-five stood up for prayer. On Monday night, the second night of our meeting, our church was packed and five persons went away happily converted. The crowd is increasing every night and the spirit of God is working mightily in the souls of men, women and children. It can be truthfully said without fear of contradiction that we have a Sankey and Moody, Billy Sunday, Alexander and Chapman, Gypy Smith and others in the person of Rey, W. H. Skipshaw, a man with a wonderful gift, a blessing and honor to God and a credit to our denomination. Thus far there have been about 15 conversions and our meetings have just begun. What will it be by the time he preaches his farewell sermon on the 17th inst.? We hope to have five times as many. Easter Sunday at 3rd St. A. M. E. 11 A. M.

Our auxiliary have taken on new life and there are many signs of renewed interest in the spiritual as well as the material welfare of congregation. In spite of the hard winter which was peculiarly severe with our secluded mountain town, we have paid all incidental and current debts to date and have a balance in the treasury. Yesterday marked the close of a happy period with us. It was our anniversary celebration and rally. In the forty-eighth anniversary of our church and the second of the present pastorate we had with us, besides our local constituency, Rev. L. O. Lowis, A. B., B. D., of Lynchburg and Rev. G. W. Goodo, D. D. of Danville. Our program was up to the standard. The rally captains reported the splendid sum of $342.00. On yesterday the ordinance of Baptism was administered and the hand of fellowship extended to twelve. We are struggling hard to burst the fetters of debt which have paralyzed the spiritual work here for many years, that we may give more time and labor to the saving of souls. $188.00 more will give us liberty. May God be praised. Yours for Christ's Kingdom, (REV.) J. A. BRINKLEY. Negro in American History.

No. 185, so every one was looking forward and hoping that Sunday would be an ideal day in Pythianism. In the morning it was dark and gloomy, but as the sun rose darkness disappeared, and by 2:30 o'clock P. M. the hour of our parade from hall to church, through the principal streets of Big Stone Gap, everything was bright and cheerful. The streets were thronged with people on their way to the First Bag tist Church, where our annual thanks giving sermon was delivered by Rev. J. A. Berry, pastor of mild church. He was at his altar. His text was "Greater love hath so man than this, that a man lay down his He for his friend." He remains were deep and every Knight felt ground that he was identified with such a ground and needs order and every one present was delighted with his presence. Others prevent made some ground that did much good and will be long remembered. Our program continued at music and piano.

CO knocking at the rear door. Loudly he demanded admittance when he realized that Mrs. Loster had no intention of letting him in. His demands availing nothing, the policeman throw his bulky figure against the door and forced it open. The door leading to the bed room gave way the next instant to the pressure exerted by the intruder's shoulders and he strode into the terrified woman's presence. She had got out of bed and thrown a kimono over her right gown. Mrs. Emma Miller, who resides next door at 712, was able to give the police a connected account of virtual after that occurred after Netsz entered the house. Her attention was drawn by Mrs. Loster's screensa f for help and she ran next door. Mrs. Loster admitted her at the front door. Blood was flowing freely from a wound on Mrs. Loster's check. Nelsz, who had removed his coat and hat, seemed to resent Mrs. Miller's appearance on the scene. His manner was ugly, with Witch hat wasted on him. Mrs. Miller was to bathe Mrs. Lester's face, placing one arm around her as she did so. BRUTALLY BEATEN TOO. Mrs. Miller's story of what occurred afterward was repeated by Bicycle Policeman Gerring who was the first to interview her, as follows: "The sergeant strode up and down the room as though very angry and finally turned and faced Mrs. Lester saying: 'I'm going to beat you again.' I said: 'Please don't beat her any more.'" "The next thing I knew he had drawn his pistol and, levelling it at Mrs. Lester's head by pointing his arm over my shoulder, cried: 'I'll end it all.'" The officer fell from Mrs. Miller's arms. The bullet had placed her brain, causing instantaneous death. Without waiting to lift his shot had been effective and without another word, Neisz aimed the pistol at his own head and fired. He fell to the floor, mortally wounded. WEST THERE TO KILL HER Inquiry developed that the bottle of chloroform that was found in Nelsa's pocket when his effects were being listed after his death in the city hospital was purchased from Roger E. Monroe, clerk in the drugstore of A. Groenewald, 500 West Broad Street. Nelsa made the purchase between 12:30 and 1 o'clock Monday afternoon, Monroe said. He bought four ounces of the poison and gave a reason that he expected to have a dog. The clerk said Nelsa remained in the store half an hour after making the purchase and talked with him pleasantly on many topics. The policeman's manner was calm and affable, the clerk stated. In the pocket with the chloroform was a piece of cotton. "She broke up my home, and I am going to kill this woman," Nolz told Mrs. Miller. The lights in the room went out as the policeman crashed to the door, a stumbled as she wont, and ran to the Second precinct police station, a short distance away, to give the alarm. CHILDREN TERROR-STRICKEN. In the rear room adjoining the one in which the shooting occurred were Mrs. Lester's two children. When policemen arrived and lighted candles they discovered the two little ones standing in the doorway. They were in their night clothing. Their arms were around one another. As the flickering rays of the candles disclosed their mother's body lying in a large pool of blood almost at their feet the children fell back ter-stricken, covering their faces with their arms. Later the children were taken to the home of relatives at 322 West Main Street. Mrs. Lester, who was the daughter of F. W. Jenks, 219 South Pine St. had been separated from her husband for some time. He is supposed to be living M. Chadwell. His mother parents also is survived by the following brothers and sisters: M. W. Johns, W. M. Jenks, T. H. Johns and F. W. Johns, Jr. REV. DR. GALVIN SPEAKS. His Northern Tour. Brother Editor: On the Third 'Sunday and part of the following week I was in Pittsburgh, as guest of Drs. W. W. Brown, G. B. Howard and R. C. Fox and the Pittsburgh Ministera 'Union. On Sunday I served the distinguished Dr. Brown and the great Ebenezer, morning and night, in their annual educational rally, when large crowds heard the Word and gave a splendid offering for education. One has said that humanity is divided into two classes, one of which do things, and the other talk about them. Dr. Brown and his church belong to the former class for surely do things and do them on a large, ample scale. May they live 'ong to work in the vineyard. Tuesday night we served Dr. Howard and his church. In their recently purchased, splendid edifice. Dr. Howard is engaged in a most marvelous work at the Central Baptist church. I stepped in on Sunday night to behold a veritable sea of folk, and hear some $125.00 announced as the days offering and to learn that nearly 200 souls have been added to Zion this year. This fine christian minister has every reason to believe that God sent him to Pittsburgh. This pastor and church gave us ten dollars for the work. Even though Dr. R. C. Fox and church were in their revival, he kindly invited us to serve them Wednesdays night, where we met an enthusiastic audience and had a good meeting and were given $10.56 for the work. Dr. Fox is a great man with a great church and is engaged in a great work. In connection with his pastoral labors he runs a plenely printing concern and is also President of the Minister's Home and also of the Baptist Association of that section. Monday morning, according to previous engagement we addressed the Minister's Union, presided over by that grant, Dr. R. J. Jones, in behalf of our work and many of the brethren promised to meet us in Roanoke, and many others who said they could not come but would send their donations. This 'Union of Baptist ministers treated us kindly and we so much appreciate it. Pittsburgh is affame with the Spirit of God. Dr. G. S. Simms had added about 250 souls to the fold and Dr. Childe had added more than 100 and Dr. W. J. Carter had received a large number and other brethren were engaged in splendid harvests for the Lord. We feel greatly in debt to our Pittsburgh brethren for all the kind, Christian courtesies received at their hands and especially to Dr. Brown, who took the initiative in making us guest of the brethren of the "Smoky City," and Dr. Brown will give our work a donation in Rosanoke. Thursday we looked upon the biggest Baptist ordination council that it was ever our chance to meet and were accorded the privilege to saying just a word to the brethren. Many of those brethren will meet us in Rosanoke also, and will help us fight the battle of the Lord there. Friday we stopped in Lynchburg, at our school, which under the presidency of that leader, Dr. Woods, is in fine condition and has never been in better condition. The new building is moving along finally under the oversight of our own little Rocke feller, Deacon Humbles. No we have prepared the conventions process in a few days, notify the participants, that they may have ample time to prepare for the "bannar meeting" in May. We hope the brothers who have not sent in their pledges will do so soon. We expect great things in Roanoke, and we are sure that Pennsylvania, Jersey, New York, Rhode Island Maryland and the Nation's will be well represented as Virginia's distin grilled guests. Dr. Graham's fine article in The PLANETB is much appreciated and no doubt does great good. I am yours for $10,300.00 Banquet Given in House of Honor Adolphus Humbles—Above Speeches The Chantauque held in Virginia Theological Seminary and College March 25th and 26th was attended success. Many able speakers attended great and vital doubles pertaining to the welfare of the race and country generally. The Chantauque is intended to set as a forum for Negro thought and speech, where sentiment is to be crystallized in the interest of the Negro and his needs. Subjects were discussed touching every phase of life. In every instance they were well developed and much light was shed on them. The meetings were held at the College, except one that was held at Diamond Hill Baptist Church. At this meeting Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pa., was the principal speaker. Dr. Graham discussed the subject, "Institutions owned and operated by Negroes; their contribution to Denomination, Race and Nation." Dr. Graham has given this phase of Negro life special study and has accumulated a storehouse of information that is extremely valuable. He was in splendid form and delighted his many hearers. Among others who discussed subjects were Dr. L. R. W. Johnson, Thomas H. White, P. F. Morris, L. O. Lowris, L. R. L. Wynn, A. Humbles. Each speaker handled well his subject and gave to their audiences the result of their research on those vital topics to tour the institution and appreciate life. One of the features of the Chantauqua was a magnificent eight-course banquet served in the finest style, in honor of the distinguished services to the Institution of Deacon Adolphus Humbles. This was tendered by the entire faculty and their families; the ministers of the city and all the guests of the Chantauqua. To put it mildly it was an occasion that delighted the fancies of all. DR. W. F. GRAHAM. The brothren of Virginia are always pleased to do honor to this distinguished character. There is no man in the denomination, more highly honored in Virginia than is Dr. Graham. This is true of all the brothren of the entire State and all sections as well. This is due to the faithful and telling service rendered to the race and denomination by this genial Christian minister. No recounting of his services is necessary here. His great achievements in every line stand out conspicuously and make to have him visit us here at the institution. THE COMING CONVENTION. The days are swiftly passing and we are now looking forward to our coming Convention, which convenes in Roanoke, with great satisfaction. Dr. W. R. Brown, the accomplished and noted pastor of the First Baptist Church, where the Convention holds its sessions, is making large preparations, and he is being oledly assisted by the other pastors of the city. While Dr. Burks suffered the severe loss of his church by fire, he is, notwithstanding, working earnestly and enthusiastically for the success of the state work. Revs. Henderson, Moore, King and others of the city are co-operating to make the convention a success. Now the outlook is most hopeful and encouraging, for a great convention in numbers, spirit and finance. Dr. Galvin, the honored president of the Convention has been and now in doing all that is, possible for a successful meeting. Echoes from all parts of the State are to the effect that the brethren are coming up and strong at that. We are expecting Tidewater to come with its usual strength and glory. True, our late Chioftain, Dr. Bowling will not come in person with them, but he will be there in spirit, deeds and traditions. His legacy we have in what was dear to him. His great church will be there well represented. It will be well just here to mention that they have just sent us a contribution of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for the work. Drs. Metta, Smith, Jonen, Henderson, Ashby and others will come from Norfolk and Newport News; Dr. Harrell from Suffolk, Dr. W. R. Ashburn from Franklin, Rev. Johnson from Shoulders Hill, Rev. Holland from Newport News, Revs. Dr. F. L. Mason from Jarrattra, R. W. Ashburn from Blackatone, A. H. Wynn from Crewe, Diggs of Courtland, Richard son from Waverly, C. P. Madison from Ivor, Dr. Wales of Willamahburg Revs. Brown, Tartaro and others from Petersburg. There are still others that will come up from Tidewater and make things hum. Central Virginia will be well represented. From Richmond with come Drs. Manuel, Williams, Phillips and others. Farmville will be represented by Drs. N. Jordan, J. H. Harvey and others. Lynchburg by Drs. Tyrrell, Johnson, Scott, Wynn, Revs. Bell and Cabell. All the counties in the central section and eastern as well will be strongly represented. Bedford City will be heard from through Revs. J. P. Hubbard and T. H. Cunningham. Southern part of the State, Danville and other outlying districts will send large numbers. Dr. Galvin, our President, Moses, Johnson, Thompson, Terry with many others will come full of enthugism. Southwest Virginia, where resides Dr. Burks, Brown, Woods, Miller, King and many of the good men, John F. Philpe, Curtis Moore, will be on hand, colors flying. Northwest Virginia will send over Dr. Austin, Pannell, Drake, Terrell, White, Revs. Robinson, Brown, Lee, Scott, Jackson and many more who will keep up the colors. We have given our readers a pen sketch of the line up. The goal is ten thousand, three hundred dollars ($10,300,00) for missions and education. The principle espoused is the same manly doctrine of yore. If over the men of blood, zeal, enthusiasm and purpose should rally, this is the time. Our New-Dormitory is rapidly going up, the brick is needed to meet the demands. Other improvements of importance need attention and money to meet and provide for some. Let there be one hearty response. Brother! Remember what manner of men you are. Remember the same. Remember the fashion, the future and our Duty. el .# Os Big Reague Stories Pp-cmanise 2.

The organ pealed forth the strains of the opening anthem—one of those divine compositions of Mozart which make the pulse of the righteous beat more quickly and cause the ungodly to think anew—and after it had been sung the singers took their seats, separating, the two higher voices to the right, the two lower to the left side of the organ. Herr Steinbuch, the organist, retired behind the organ, drawing from his pocket as he did so a copy of a Sunday newspaper. He was musical editor of the sheet and hardly scanned its pages for an article, "The Decline of the Fogue," which he had written the Friday previous—tolling far into the night that it might be concluded in time for the issue of Sunday. The pastor began his Easter sermon, but the singers paid small heed; each was busy with his or her own thoughts. In the eyes of Mattei Stuart, the condition came a faraway look as she sat beside her giant husband, the basse. She was thinking that, but three abreth years before she had gone from that church a bride, leaning proudly upon his arm. And now? Yes, she was happy, she resumed, though her stalwart husband had, unconsciously, permahed, dropped A. Not that Henry was discontented, but his lack of appreciation of the contests was marked by a lack of thought, no doubt. Silasius, he was mild, though it is given in good of the plot he had brought yourself what is known as a "good insultation," in the community accepted mercy of the town. For the last half in summer these championship matches be the best a nationally high school boy he will when his attention was concentrated on the other side of the clock left. Some they cannot wait for on these days. John Curran, and Martin Gould was so interested in what Crayton was saying to her that she failed to note the gaze of the basso. Marian had known Crayton for a number of years, but had never looked upon him as a sultor. And now as she felt his breath upon her cheek, heard his earnest words. His appeal for a reply, she could only cast down her eyes until their long black lashes seemed to throw a shade over her face. The tenor seized her hand at the conclusion of his passionate entreaty and was rewarded by a slight—a very slight-pressure, which told him that he had not pleaded in vain. Then it was that Stuart placed his great hand upon his wife's arm and leaning toward her, whispered gently: "My darling. I realize now that I have been neglecting you, but I have not meant to do so; it was only that I didn't think." In the eyes of the contritto a bright love light burned, and she patted the hand of the big basso with a loving touch. The droning of the minister suddenly ceased, and the rustling of the people below as they turned in the pews told that the sermon was at an end. The closing hymn was announced, and when it was finished the singers walked from the organ loft arm in arm, while Herr Steinbuch exclaimed pertinently: "Donnerwetter! The singers seem to be going to the dogs. That fast hymn was given atrociously!" But then perhaps Herr Steinbuch was annoyed because he had been unable to find "The Decline of the Fugue" in his Sunday newspaper. Virginia Harned in Philadelphia Press Live and Enjoy Easter Easter, glad feast of life, belongs only to those who are alive in soul and heart and mind, flearts buried in graves have but little share in its restricting thrill. "CHRIST IS FIEN"—A JOY-OUS EASTER MESSAGE. Baster is the queen of festivals. It is the commemoration of a supreme historic fact, the revocation of a supreme religious truth, the inspiration of a supreme spiritual consolation, the force of a supreme moral motive. Of Christ's resurrection the apostles, the early disciples, were witnesses. His death upon the cross had filled them with anguish and despair. But when the devout on their holy faith lit the mysteries sacred so far before, "The Lord hath given them in blood and appeared unto Peter, then was their sorrow turned into a rapture of joy.

An Easter Message. You must live before you can believe. If you would have a right to the tree of life, if you would have the right to know that there is a tree of life, you must seek this immortal life here, and seek it from the God who is here, and seek it through the channels that be opens for you. Live here and now the immortal life, and then, if you are mistaken and there is no life after the grave, still you will have been immortal. We must have the immortal life here and now if we would have a rational hope to have it hereafter. This is my Easter morning message to you.—Lyman Abbott. EASTER PLANTS. A little plant is an Easter sermon. It preaches more eloquently than many men. The life story of the plant is the life story of man. Endurance and patience are seen in the struggling seed. Buried in the black earth, it patiently endures until the time of birth. The struggle of the plant pushing its way from darkness to light is well rewarded. In the sunlight and air of the upper world the plant reaches higher growth and development. The beauty of the blossom is symbolic of the beauty of the soul, which has overcome evil influences and radiates its glory to all about. The Meaning of Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is recognized in the Roman Catholic church as the trinity phant entry of Christ into Jerusalem amid the honeyman of the people; for this day, the gospel tells us, "a very great multitude cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way; crying: 'Hosanna, the son of David. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest delight xxl. 15. Nowadays people will be seen carrying the palm branches given to them in the church to their homes, as the multitude of old applauded the triumph of the Redeemer. The palm branches proclaim his victory over Satan. Scholarship Establishment For Learners Children should be the primary Sunday, where the stranger in encounter, con- tains plenty in doing nothing which would take and complicate or numerate to offend. For the rest, a little problem, presence is something that creeps nothing and is always to keeping with them. So if this the historic been putting try listening with a new heart to the triumphant usage of this most joyous of all Mondays. School Teachers Form a Union.
