VOLUME XXXIII NO. 9 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1916 FUNERAL DIRECTOR A. HAYES LAID TO REST REV. J. H. BINFORD DELIVERS A MOST APPROPRIATE SERMON The Story of Job and His Afflictions The Divine Command—The Palo Horse and His Rider—A Graphic Account. The funeral of Arthur Hayes, the funeral director, who died Friday morning, January 7, 1916, at $55 A.M. took place last Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Long before the time, the neighborhood of the church edifice was one soothing mass of humanity. About 1 o'clock hundreds of people could be seen coming away from the church, it being absolutely impossible to secure a seat on the inside. Many of the fraternal organizations of which the deceased was a member found that they could not get inside of the church. UNDERTAKER JOHNSON IN CHAROB. Funeral Director William Isaac Johnson had charge of the remains and he led the way slowly up the main stale, the casket being collined upon the vehicle used for that purpose. On the rostrum were Rev. J. H. Binford, D. D., Rev. Lee Frayer, Rev. S. C. Burrell, Rev. D. J. Bradford, Rev. T. J. J. Mosby, Rev. J. R. Griffin and Rev. George Reed. Deacon Joseph N. Myers officiated in conjunction with the other deacons. REV. BINFORD'S APPROPRIATE SERMON. Rev. J. H. Binford read from I Cor. 15:35. Prayer was offered by Rev. S. C. Burrell. Rev. Binford arose and stated that Rev. R. V. Poyton, the pastor, was sick at his residence, not seriously though, and he had been requested to preach the funeral of the deceased. "If there were anyone who wished to go out," said ne, "you go out now, for I do not want any walking out while I am preaching." No one showed any disposition to leave, and if they had, there were at least fifty other people on the outside waiting to take their places. A BLUNT INVITATION. This homely invitation was received in silence. Then the letters from the widow and the family were read. The deceased left a wife, sister, two brothers and four sons to mourn their loss. Rev. Blindford said he had known A. Hayes for 46 years, when he was quite a young man. He was a quiet man and a gentleman. He was unassuming, but a Christian gentleman. He was a man who believed in attending to his own business. Rev. Blindford then took his text from Job, 14th chapter, 16th verse, "Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands." THE LIFE OF JOB He discoursed at length upon the life of Job. He told of God's promise to Job, of the Devil's declaration that he could make Job curse God and die. During the fervid moments of his prory, Rev. Binford exclaimed, "They may say what they want about old 'Sonny' Binford, but they cannot touch my soul. They may say what they will about John Mitchell, but they cannot touch his soul. He said he had religion many years ago, and I have come to believe it myself now." THE STORY OF THE GREAT BELIEVER. In the most impressive manner, he told of the story of Job, of how Satan had declared unto God that his servant Job would curse him if he but take away from him his substance, his property and all that he had. God permitted Satan to try Job. One after another of his servants came unto Job telling him of the calamities that had befallen him, of the loss of his oxen, his sheep and his servants, and in each case the one who brought the message was the only one who had escaped. JOB'S LAMENT God had told Satan that all of this could be tried, but that he must not put his hand upon Job. All of this failed and finally Satan demanded that he be permitted to afflict Job. Rev. Binfold in a most impressive manner pictured Job's attitude and quoted him as saying, "Naked came I into the world and naked shall I return thither; the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." He told of Satan's trial of Job. God gave Job over to Satan with the injunction that he was not to touch his life. THAT PALE HORSE. He then spoke of the deceased, picturing him as answering the real-call he beaten. In his most persuasive manner, he told of the newspaper writer at the door. God had pledged, following His prophecy and all the child of the doctors was in vain. He had to answer the roll-call in heaven. He drew a vivid picture of the mossonger, Death, sitting upon a pale horse, without saddle or bridle and then in a most natural outburst of eloquence concluded his most interesting recital and impressive sermon, while the congregatin gave signs of approval. He had preached only about twenty-five minutes and it was not long before the choir sang again and the wonderful procession filed out on its way to the graveyard.

John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, president of the Mechanics' Bank and all around man of affairs, was in the city of Baltimore Sunday last, the occasion being the special effort of the Y. M. C. A. to raise its appropriation. The speaker, as was expected, captured his audience as only John Mitchell can do, for there is only one John Mitchell in the United States. He returned the same evening, immediately after the exercise, so that his friends were deprived of the privilege of entertaining him—Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth. COURT FINES COLORED PEOPLE FOR DISTURBANCE AT WEST WOOD SCHOOL. The Henlell Cifcuit Court yesterday sustained the judgment of Magistrate R. A. Smith, of Henlell; who fined Salillo and Jonnie Robinson and Philip Winton, colored, $10 and costs for creating a disturbance in the Westwood School. Matilda Martin and Nannie Thomas, also colored, were acquitted of the same charge. In the cases of Callio and George Wood and Joshua Robinson, found guilty of the same offense, Judge Scott entertained the motion of Julien Gunn, counsel for the defense, to set aside the verdict, and will hear the motion argued at a later date. The case of Irene Stewart, teacher in the school, who was fined for whipping a child, and who was the object of the disturbance created by the other eight Negroes, was continued indefinitely.—Times-Dispatch Jan. 7, 1916.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1916 EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS When I went out the next morning, Mr. T. S. Johnson accompanied me. We boarded one of those street cars for which San Francisco is noted, that has most of the car on top. You go up a narrow spiral stairway to the roof of the street car and from that vantage point, you can get acquainted with the trolley wires and feel as though the top-heavy car will turn over as you climb some of the steep grades. London is said to be noted for these kind of cars, and New York City has many of them in commission. THOSE MYTHICAL FIGURES I had invited Mr. Johnson, but as he would not permit me to "spend a cent." I soon found out that I was his guest. Oh, the Exposition was a place of transient magnificence. Away up many feet in the air could be seen the mythical gods and goddesses, the mythical figures of ancient history, the reproductions of the works and of art in Greece and Rome and artistic designs, pleasing to the eye, and possessing value of a kind that caused pleasant memories long after one has passed from the view. STORE-HOUSES OF INFORMATION In the vast structures were storehouses of information for the student and the everyday man of business. The works of art were superbly grand, and one would linger too long at some particular point, only to find the day had slipped away and that the hour of five was at hand, when most of the buildings were scheduled to close. I found that Mr. Johnson was no match for either me or his wife in the matter of walking. She had demonstrated to me that she could get over ground, and I had speeded up, expecting to find him to be even a greater expert than she. THOSE COLORED TROOPS But I soon found out my mistake and I settled down to "the good old Summer time stroll." That morning before going into the grounds, we decided to visit Presidio, the barracks, where the United States troops are quartered. We went to the well-kept grounds, and seeing a colored soldier, we acertified from him that a company, had just come in from the Philippines and he was one of the company. It was Company L. Twenty-fourth Infantry. I found out that I was conversing with Private Ernest E. Fields, who halted from Chicago. A SCENE IN THE BARRACKS It was not long before, after leaving the Post Office, we were on our way over to the barracks. In a frame structure, kept scrupulously clean were beds. They were so arranged that one was suspended above the other; there being only two beds to a row. At each bed, was the service trunk of the soldier who occupied the quarters: Everything needed could be found, in this trunk. They had books of instruction in target practice. NOT ALLOWED TO TALK. I was inquisitive, but it was not long before I was given the tip that the soldiers were not allowed to talk. One colored soldier, who was a sergeant, was in charge of the troops. In a far corner, I saw other colored soldiers soared around a table. However, I got it from one of them that he was watching and praying for his time to be out. "It a man is some count when he enters the army," said he, "he will be no count when he leaves it." ALL KINDS OF MEN "They get all kinds of men in the service, men with character and men without any. It is a life of loafing and it takes all ambition out of a man. We do not have anything to do much but loaf. We have from an hour. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Wilmont Royall were home to their friends Monday night, January 10, 1916, from 6 to 5 o'clock, at 174 W. 127th Street, New York City. Mrs. Royall was formerly Miss Jessie Nelson, of Hot Spring, Va. They were married September 29, 1915. Mrs. Royall is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. E. Royall, 105 W. Leah Street, Richmond, Va.

A FAVORED ONE Man Who Handles Throttle on "Sig- gell" Fargo, Skillful Olly gloves and overallly mean much in the life of "Dad" Woods. He it, who does the during runaway driving in "The Girl and the Game," when Miss Holmes is not at the throttle herself. "Dad" has great confidence in Miss Holmes. When she climbs into his cab, he feels highly honored and surrenders the throttle to her masterful hand with the grace of a gentleman of the old school. "Engineers are not much for riding with each other," commented "Dad." "for a man that drives wants to do it all the time if he is riding. With Miss Holmes, though, there is something that makes me willing to take any sort of a chance. It's the way she handles the big steel horse, I guess, for I always feel just as safe with her as I do when I'm at the window myself." And Miss Holmes feels just the same toward "Dad." One two-act chapter of "The Girl and the Game" will be shown weekly at the Hippodrome theatre. The station at Signat, the grounds of the company producing "The Girl and the Game," has been placed on the time cards of the Salt Lake railroad.

This address was widely responded to by Herman E. Moore, A. B., of Howard University. The presiding officer, A. L. Simpson, delivered the President's Annual Address, which was both instructive and enchanting. He praised the excellent work that had been accomplished and admonished a strict adherence to old ideals. S. R. Morsell, B. D., secretary of the Pittsburgh Branch of the Colored Y. M. C. A., spoke fluently on the need of a more perfect harmony and cohesion between fraternity men and Y. M. C. A. workers. The annual address of Omicron to the convention was delivered by Attorney R. L. Vann, A. B., with his well-known vigor and keen forthought. Mr. Vann abkonlained the fraternity brothers to cast aside selfish motives, help others of our race who are less fortunate, and in short, try to build up rather than tear down. The sessions were made very interesting by remarks of several graduate members of the fraternity. Among them were: Frederick Miller, A. B. of Mound Bayou, Miss., a prominent land owner of the South; Dr. Gordon Jackson, an enterprising physician, of Chicago; Dr. A. H. Morrison, of Wheeling, W. Va., and S. S.

I have not bad much encouragement; tn fact, I have been advised by friends that the step which I am about to make is @ very dangerous one, aad that I would not be ablo to get sup- port out of the work of tho Homo Mls- sion Board. But since I have accept: ed to assume tho responsibilities of the office of the Secretary, I am will- ing to Tay my life on the altar for the succesa of tho onterpriso which we are about to undertake. You are aware that you have boen chosen as editor-in-chief, and I would sugsest that you begin to look over the cout. try to select a competent staf.

Dr. Boothe wrote Dr. Row- land, and I bave the latter's reply which came: in today’s mail. I am sorry to eay that be does pot spoax favorably of tho arrangements which wo had hoped could be mado with the Bociety; and Dr. Boothe seems to have weakened in that he suggests that s conference of the leaders be beld be fore any further stopa be taken.

Our duty is plain; it Is to get out a series of Sunday achocl matter by January 1, 1897. This duty has been imposed by the Nationa: Baptist Convention, and cannot be sot aside by us or oven by the Homo Mis- sion Board.

EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va., as second class matter. SATURDAY...

Hundreds of them are too insulting to live in a civilized country."—Richmond Planet. Since you are agreed brothren, why not make a general statement without regard to race, color or previous condition to the effect that the individual is his own worst enemy?—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. We accept the suggestion It has been our custom, though, to get our own house in order before dictating to the other man about his house, especially as he is engaged in doing the same thing for himself and his people that we are doing for ourselves and our people. --- PRESIDENT WILSON'S ATTITUDE. And be these juggling friends no more believed, That paler with us in a double sense. That keep the word of promise to our car. The Washington Post of the 11th inst. publishes a most interesting statement which will be read with interest by well-nigh every citizen of color in the United States. Here it is. The President has decided to nominate a white man for the position of recorder of deeds of the District. He made this statement yesterday to Bishog Alexander Walters, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and president of the National Negro Democratic League, which worked for the administration during the last presidential campaign. While the President did not say that he has the man in mind for the position, it is believed that his decision in this regard has practically been made and that the nomination will be sent to the Senate in the near future. President Wilson told Bishop Walters that he would like to select a colored recorder, but that he was convinced that if he named a colored man he would only precipitate a bitter race fight in the Senate. He suggested that he would attempt to find departmental positions for several Negroes in place of the lost recordership BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS usually carries a smiling countenance. If he carried one when he left the White House on that fateful Monday, it was a bitter smile. He has worked early and late in behalf of his constituency and on this mission, he no doubt went at the earnest solicitation of the men who were using strong language with reference to the distinguished occupant of the White House. We have never been able to understand how a college professor, the Ex-President of Princeton University, the leader of the great Democratic Party, of which How William J. Bryan is the sponsor, and lastly, the President of the United States could make a plea that he cannot do the right thing simply because the artillery of Satan will be trained upon him as a result of it. It is no longer a question of right with him, but a question of expediency. He prefers to have racial anatomy among some of the colored people than to have it among some of the white people. He boldly draws the color line, echews great principles and panders to the clamor of the mob. We are astounded at this action on the part of the Chief Executive of the nation. We have never known such open steps to be taken, not even in the gubernatorial mansion of Virginia. PRESIDENT WILSON cannot win ultimately along these lines. He must necessarily merit the contempt of his own followers and the condemnation of the colored people whom he has ignored and accrued. There may be joyous times in the Negro-haters' camp in Washington and corresponding conservation among those who champion great principles and dislike the surrender to the forces of evil. One thing we know, and that is, God rules in the affairs of men and His promises are immutable. Whether for weal or for woe, we shall have no hesitation in declaring that President Wesaw Wilson in this attitude has violated every precept of right and sacrificed every promise of honor made to the men who followed him and his cohorts through one of the stormed camps in American history. They shall live to see his discom- stance and the cohorts of evil now sur- rounding him driven from power. Over against the candlestick upon the glitter of the wall in the White House is written the divine condem- nation even as vivid and as plain at the one that confronted King Belhar- zar. "Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting." President Wilson would do well to adopt the language of Henry VIII, as framed for him by Shakespeare, when he said. THE BAPTISTS AND THEIR TROUBLES. I knew by the smoke that so peaceful, curled Above the green, elms, that a cottage was near. And I said, "If there's peace to be found in the world, We have received copies of correspondence between Rev. B. J. Brown of Gainesville, Texas, and Dr. J. M. Frost. Corresponding Secretary of the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board (white) under date of November 19, 1915. It is stated that the white Baptist organization owns and controls all the property which the Board is holding and that the Board simply holds the publishing house and its property as agent of the Southern Baptist Convention. This is no news to us, and it is as it should be. In Frost states that the profits from the publishing house go to the Southern Baptist Convention. If it owns the plant, where else should the profits go? We have thought, in the National Baptist Convention affair a slightly different proposition: The white Baptists established their publishing house with the money of the Southern Baptist Convention Did the National Baptist Convention establish the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville with its money? If it were not established with the money, whose money was used to reel and maintain the plant at Nashville, Tennessee. It is utterly impossible to consider the two propositions as being upon "all four," unless the conditions surrounding the two are identical. It would be manifestly unfair and misleading to cite a case of this kind, unless all of the other facts in connection therewith are the same. It is a fact, though, that the great mass of the Baptist brotherhood presumed that conditions were the same. They have supported the National Baptist Publishing Board with the understanding that it was the agent of the National Baptist Convention which Convention elected the members of the National Baptist Publishing Board. No thought that the Nashville corporation was independent of the parent organization coursed through the minds of the brainy men of the National Baptist Convention until it attempted to exercise the powers of ownership and then the awakening came. Our position has been that the National Baptist Convention owns the National Baptist Publishing House, but that the money and labor had been furnished by private parties, that Rev. Dx. R. H. Bove, the founder and manager of the concern had spent the best portion of his life building up the plant and that he was entitled to reimbursement for all of his money that he had spent and to such other recognition as his valuable services merited. We never entertained the thought that he would set up the plea that any other body or set of men owned the plant, but the National Baptist Convention. From correspondence received by us, we were under the impression that our view was the view of the distinguished churchman at Nashville, Tenn. We have read the Constitution of the National Baptist Convention and under this Constitution, the Commission has no constitutional existence. Its powers are therefore on a par with that of any other committee appointed by the National Baptist Convention. To speak plainly, it has no more constitutional authority over any of the Boards than has M. M. Rowley, the auditor of the National Baptist Convention. Its decree becomes binding only when they have been submitted to the National Baptist Convention duly assembled, and the said decrees have been adopted by that body. We take it then, that the alleged effort of this Commission to usurp or to interfere with the powers of the constitutionally elected' boards has been the cause of much friction. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Baptist Publishing Board was supervised to the parent organization, in that it had a standing in law, it could sue and it could be sued. The National Baptist Convention had no standing in law, it could not sue and it could not be sued. There was but one thing to do, so far as the national organization was concerned, and that was to place the parent organization upon equal footing in law with its creature, the National Baptist Publishing Board. Unless this was done, the national organization had no power to enforce its decrees against its creature at Nashville Town. It could only use moral suasion, and when the child saw fit to snap his fingers at the parent and defy it, there was no legal reason in the world why it should not do so. It was to remedy this peculiar condition that we favored the Incorporation of the National Baptist Convention. It was a thing not contemplated by the founders for the reason that money-making by any one of its Boards was not considered. But with the acquirement of property and the entering into the field of commercialism, business methods must obtain and an incorporation be radically necessary to protect the financial interests of the parent body. But what about the incorporation? How was it accomplished? The Minutes of the Philadelphia session on Page 97 read: Prof. M. M. Rodgers, of Texas, was recognized. He submitted a resolution with reference to amending the charters of the Boards, making them conform to the Constitution of the Convention, thereby giving the Convention control of the Boards. After, some discussion, the resolution, by the ruling of the President, Dr. Mormon, was referred to the Commission. The Commission then had only the power to report back to the parent body. It could not carry into effect the Rodgers' resolution until it had been specifically authorized so to do by the Convention itself. This carried the matter over to the Chicago session. It is alleged that the National Baptist Convention was incorporated without the further action on the part of the Convention itself. Looking at the matter from a strictly impartial standpoint with only God and eternal justice as our commander and guide, this was a parliamentary mistake. It was unconstitutional and unlawful and it placed the parties to the affair in the attitude of transcending powers conferred upon them by the national organization. No parliamentarian of a high order or constitutional advocate could have failed to recognize the mistake made in such a course. The National Baptist Convention should only have been incorporated by specific authority conferred by the national organization. We are free to say that if we had been upon the floor of the national body, we would have advocated it as being the only proper thing to do. But the mistake was made. Could the National Baptist Convention in regular session assembled correct this mistake or blunder, just as you choose to call it? But how could it do this? Ah, this is the question: By referring to the Constitution, we find that it is specified as follows: This Constitution may be altered or amended at any regular meeting of the Convention by a two-thirds vote of the members present, provided the proposed alteration or amendments are presented on the first day of the session and voted upon on the last day of the session. It was clearly in the power of the National Baptist Convention to legalize what had been unconstitutionally done, provided such action was taken in accordance with the old Constitution. It could have repudiated the charter of incorporation or it could have come in under its provisions. Personally speaking, we are of the opinion that the same vote essential to amend the Constitution was the same vote essential to accept the charter of incorporation for the acceptance of the aforesaid charter necessarily amended and changed some portions of the old Constitution. Was this legally done at Chicago? We were not there in person and in this view of the situation, the leading churchmen in the United States are at liberty to express an opinion. For our part, we belove in "howing to the line, let the chips fall where they may." If we are wrong, we do not take offense at some one's showing us how to get right. To speak plainly, we hope that the contending elements will realize the futility of further agitation and commotion. It cannot do the cause any good and it will do much harm. Churchmer, who are making efforts to advance their private interests should be sent to the rear and the Baptist brotherhood in its might should rise up and demand peace at the hands of the warring elements of the National Baptist Convention. that Judek Smith has sustained the demurrier of the faction of the National Baptist Convention led by Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones. As the injunction had been previously granted by the same court and it subserved its purpose by permitting Rev. Dr. E. C. Mormon and his supporters to get control of the machinery of the National Baptist Convention and to organize under the charter or incorporation, we fail to see just what effect it can have upon the national organization, which now is in possession of legal recognition accorded in the District of Columbia. Certainly an unincorporated body cannot dictate or control an incorporated one and the case accordingly reminds us very much of the oft-cited story of a lawyer moving for a new trial for his client a wook after his client had been hanged. This court in Chicago has only a State jurisdiction and its mandates are operative only upon a body in session within its jurisdiction. When President Mormon got outside of the State, he was in a position to snap his finger, so to speak, at the court's decree. The relief may have come to the anti-incorporationists, but as the Irishman said to the chick that chirped when he was swallowing the eggs, "My friend, you spoke too late." O. let us have peace! LYNCHED IN NORTH CAROLINA. The lynching of John Richard colored, near Goldaboro, N. C., last Wednesday, 12th inst., by a mob of white men, upon the charge of murder cannot be justified upon any plea that the law would not have met punishment to him were he guilty of the crime. North Carolina electrocuted men for burglary and there would not have been any likelihood whatever, that this same State would not have executed a colored man for murder. This mob spirit is ever in evidence, and only the most drastic steps can check its spread. In many States, lynching has been legalized by the authorities, who assure the leaders of the mob that if the prisoners are not ynched, the authorities will see to it that they are hanged anyway, but by the officers of the law after a hurried trial lasting anywhere from twenty minutes to half an hour. Colored men charged with heinous crimes should be turned over to colorful jurymen, and if they are guilty, there is little likelihood of their escape from just penalty. Colored people feel keenly every act of lawlessness on the part of their own people and they are not disposed to condone or trifle with the class of people who endanger not only their safety, but injure their good name. We hope that the authorities will investigate the affair and bring to justice the murderers who perpetrated the outrage and injured the good name of North Carolina. Can Southern States Be Compelled to Call Negroes for Duty on Juries? Washington, January 4.—The Supreme Court is to be asked to pass on the question of whether the failure in Southern States to select Negroes for jury duty is denial to Negroes accused of crime of the equal protection of the law. Counsel for Robert Kitchin, a Negro sentenced to be hanged in Washington County, Ga., for the murder of Henry Brantley, a white man, today filed a brief in court urging that the Federal district court in Georgia arroed in refusing to release Kitchin after conviction on a writ of habeas corpus. He urged that the failure to have Negroes on the grand and petit juries which passed on Kitchin's case deprived the trial-court of iradiction. Counsel for the whiff of Washington County filed a brief in support of the conviction. He urged that the Georgia law in requiring the selection for juries of the "most upright and intelligent" men was absolutely impartial, and, further, on the authority of the Loo M. Frank decision, that habeas corpus was not Kitchin's proper remedy, inasmuch as no objection was offered at the beginning of the trial to the jury make-up. Failure to make such an objection cannot justly be raised, it is urged, because of alleged fear by counsel of mob violence if the point had been raised. Given Six Months in Jail. Willie Graham, colored, was sentenced to six months in jail Thursday, 6th inst., by Justice H. A. Marrion, in Police Court, Part II, charged with attempting to escape from the Third Police Station. The man was being held on a charge of forgery, which was continued to this morning. He attempted to escape from the Third Station early Thursday morning, and was only apprehended after Mounted Officer Williams had chased him for several blocks. When Dank Sergant Lippocamp entered the cellroom to separate notary inmates, and while the cell was unlocked, Graham made a dash for liberty. He made, straight through the station-house and fate the street. Sergent Lipcomb followed close behind and emptied his revolver on Graham Red across a vanet lot. Officer Williams heard the shots, and rushed to the scene. He mounted his unmanned hotel and gave chase, succeeding in capturing the man a few blocks from the station-house. YOUNG MEN OPEN ATHLETIC ROOMS SPARTAN LITERARY AND ATHLETIC ASSN. LAUNCHED. On Monday night, January 10, the Spartan Literary and Athletic Association opened up palatial quarters in True Reformers Hall, with appropriate ceremonials.

SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. 18-Year-Old Boy Suffer His Life. Because of the suffering incident to a severe case of pneumonia, Thomas I. Childress, of 119 East Eleventh Street, South Richmond, ended his life Thursday afternoon 6th inst., when he placed a 32-caliber pistol to his right temple and sent a bullet into his brain. He died in a few minutes after firing the shot. Young Childress, only eighteen years of age, had been working at the Du Pont plant in Hopewell for some time. Last Monday he left Hopewell and came home, suffering with a severe case of gripple. He went immediately to bed, and the case rapidly developed into pneumonia. It is thought by the family that Childress purchased the revolver to protect himself from highwaymen in passing from Hopewell to the Du Pont plant and returning in the early hours of the morning. He had kept it under his pillow, unknown to the family. Why Do You Worry About Your Eye? QUALITY SERVICE E. R. FISHER, O. O. Successor to H. M.

Washington's last suggestion to the Conference Committee was that there should be a variation of the usual program. Accordingly, the exercises to be had at the Conference at Tuskegee Institute on Wednesday, January 19, 1916, will be very much different from former programs. FARM DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITS. It has been the custom to have the visitors to the Conference go to the Chapel at about ten o'clock in the morning on Conference Day and listen to the reports made by delegates from various communities. Instead of this, visitors will be taken to the Agricultural Department and to Dorothy Hall from nine until twelve o'clock A. M. to witness special demonstrations and exhibits. While the exhibits and demonstrations in the Agricultural Department will be intended for all, the exposition at Dorothy Hall will be specially intended for women. A REAL SCHOOL DAY FOR OLDER PROPL The following morning program will provide a real school day for the older people and other visitors to the Colference. The Agricultural Department will offer: Plant Group: Demonstration, (1) in farming, (2) trucking and canning, (3) frutt growing. Animal Group: Demonstration. (1) care of dairy cattle and the manufacture of dairy products; (2) selecting and feeding farm animals; (3) diseases of farm animals and their treatment. --- Dorothy Handcraft Division: Demonstrations with shucks, doo mats, re-scatting chairs, mattress with shucks or cotton, picture frames, table mats, horse collars. Box furniture: Washstand, dresser, kitchen table, cupboard, chairs, etc. Curtains: Fight on cheap lace curtains. Pictures: How to select and how to hang boat. It is thought that each kind of work be given to a group of girls with some older girl in charge to explain, and that the Instructor talk and demonstrate every hour. Cooking: Table setting, table manners, etc. Question of table cloth, napkins, knives, forks, glasses, flowers, etc. Monus of country produce for each month. Preparation of menus to include: Greens, cornbread, sweet potatoes, turnips, pork, ham, eggs, coffee, bacon custards, cabbage, peanuts, sorghum, cane-syrup, simple house canning. Following these demonstrations, dinner will be served to the farmers and visitors near the Chapel from twelve-thirty to one-thirty o'clock. Misa Cornelia Bowen of Waugh, Alabama, and Mr. Scales, an Alabama farmer, among others will be the colored speakers on Wednesday. OTHER FEATURES In addition to these demonstrations, there will be two exhibits, a cern show for men and a canned goods exhibit for women. One thousand persons will be asked to send ten cerns of corn each, for the corn show; and a proportionately large number of women will be urged to bring six jars of canned goods of different varieties. For the best corn, premiums of $10.00; $5.00; $3.00 and $2.00 will be given as first, second, third and fourth prizes respectively. For the canned goods exhibit the premiums will be $10.00; $8.00; $3.00; and $2.00 respectively. PROGRAM The regular Conference session, instead of convening at 10 o'clock A.M. as formerly, will be held in the Chapel in the afternoon, beginning at 1:30 o'clock and continuing until 4 o'clock. The main topics to be discussed by visitors and delegates will be: (1) How I am managing to keep ahead of the ball weevil; (2) Crop diversification, and (3) How our community built a schoolhouse. To all this will be added special addresses by experts. Members of the United States Department of Agriculture, the Governor and other State officials of Alabama, and members of the Auburn College staff will be specially invited to be present. WORKERS' CONFERENCE The Workers' Conference will be held in the Academic Assembly Room on Thursday, January 20, 1916, from 10:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. The subject will be: "The Better Housing of Negroes." The topic will be divided into two parts: (1) Urban or City Housing Conditions; and (2) Rural Housing Conditions. Under the first will be discussed: (a) Housing conditions and the urban death-rate for Negroes; (b) Some examples of what is being done to improve urban housing conditions; and (c) Agitation which can assist in improving urban housing conditions. Under Rural Housing Conditions will be discussed: (a) Housing conditions and the rural death-rate for Negroes; (b) Housing conditions and the rural labor supply; and (c) Agents. cleen which can assist in improving rural housing conditions. Health demonstrations will be held by Tuskegee Institute Health Department. Narcissus Art and Literary Circle Entertains on Southside. The beautiful and palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. T.

At an usual hour, and after having spent a delightful evening, all left for their homes in carriage. Thus ended one of the most brilliant entertainments given during the Yule tide season. FROM RHODE ISLAND. RowH. N. Jeter, D. D., pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, returned last week from a trip to New York and New Haven. He addressed the New York Baptist conference of ministers on the 3rd inst. on the "Present Condition and Future of the American Negro and the Foreign Element in the United States." Dr. Jeter has conviction respecting a large class of the Negro race and if his plans are carried out the condition of the race will be greatly helped and made better. He is seeking the cooperation of the pastors and laymen in the large cities where so many of the race are idle and wasting their lives in saloon-bar rooms and pool rooms. This class is making it hard for others who are doing what they can to make life worth living. The question is a national one and it should concern every American citizen. Dr. Jeter will speak in Tremont Temple, Boston, on the 17th to the ministers of greater Boston and vicinity. He expects to go to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and other large cities in the South and West, and if he can enlist the interest of the pastors and laymen. Dr. Jeter believes that those pastors who are without self, will take hold of the work with him and do what they can to locate the large number of human wafs and get them to better their condition by engaging in some honest work for a living. On the 5th of this month, 41 years ago, Dr. Jeter came to Newport and took charge of the Shiloh Baptist Church. He was just out of his teens. Any man who can serve a people, especially my race, 41 years ought to be congratulated. Both, the Shiloh Church and the pastor, deserve great credit. These years have given Pastor Joran a large experience and he is willing to give his younger ministering brother the benefit of his rich experience whereover they will open their doors and pulpit regardless of denomination, color or creed. He has asked Revs. Drs. E. E. Jackson, of Newark 'Conference'; the editor of the Christian Banner, and Rev. Dr. Alexander, of the Maryland Voice, to get him dates in February to speak to the pastors of the New Jersey Philadelphia and Baltimore Conferences. He is waiting to hear from them. From Baltimore he expects to go to some of the cities in Virginia, and later on, farther South. MARRY—Colored ladies and gentlemen if you would marry, send description and stamp. Jt.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SHAPE PROGRAM Recommendations of Tuberculosis Commission Receives Hearty Endorsement. Richmond, Va., Jan. 5. (Special).—Following the publication of the report of the Tuberculosis commission appointed by Governor Stuart, members of the commission, officers and members of the State Board of Health and the executive officers of the State Anti-tuberculosis Association are receiving many letters endorsing the program of the commission. and pledging support in presenting the cause of tuberculosis prevention to the General Assembly. Particular interest, it appears, being taken in that part of the commission's report which relates to the prevalence of tuberculosis among the Negroes of the State. Noting the high death-rate from consumption among Negroes, the commission began its work by having a careful investigation made of the occupation of all Negroes whose deaths were reported to the State as due to this disease. This involved the examination of thousands of death certificates, but the result was startling; it found that almost half the Negroes who died from consumption in the State in a given year had been engaged in domestic service of one kind or another and had been in close contact with white families, whose health they had endangered. Hundreds of white mothers, it was disclosed, had been subjecting their babies to the monache of tuberculosis by entrusting them to the care of colored nurses suffering from consumption. It was for this reason, and because the State at present makes no provision whatever for Negro consumptives, other than for the, criminal and insane, that the commission recommended to the General Assembly the establishment of a small tuberculosis sanitarium for Negroes where advanced cases can be cared for and removed from contact with persons whom they might infect. It is understood that if the State will make appropriation for such a sanitarium, the Virginia Anti-tuberculosis Association, acting for a group of organizations, will contribute liberally toward the purchase of a site. The commission's recommendations for a wider campaign of education to prevent consumption are likewise being discussed by health officers all over the State. In its report, the commission laid particular emphasis on this aspect of the subject and expressed the opinion that the State can only expect tuberculosis to decrease as it informs citizens, of the methods by which the disease can be prevented. The commission recommended an appropriation of $10,000 the year by the General Assembly for "educational extension" work from the Catawba Santorium and outlined some of the methods to be employed in carry out all the people the fundamental facts about the "Great White Plague." EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from First Page.) to two hours for drill practice in the morning, lasting sometimes from 7 to 9 o'clock, and after that we do not have anything else to do. I am tired of it. When my time is out, it is home for me." I listened to him with amusement not unmixed with intere- A PECULIAR CONDITION It set me to thinking. The industrious citizens in the States were working hard to maintain tens of thousands of men in idleness, and according to the statement of the leader, neither was satisfied. The man who was the recipient of the expense entailed was complaining and the person who was paying the taxes was doing the same thing. Still, some people wanted one million men and some other people wanted half that number mustered in as soldiers of this American Republic. I saw the officers' residences and then after seeing the representatives of white newspapers, trying to collect subscriptions from the colored soldiers, who had been recently paid off, I retraced my steps, and in company with Mr. Johnson, started for the entrance again. · HAD READ THE PLANET. When we wore about to pass out we met a white gentleman and a colored soldier. My friend stopped to introduce me to him. "Is your name John Mitchell, Jr?" I answered in the affirmative. "Are you editor of the Planet?" he inquired. I again made a similar reply. "Why," said he. "I have been reading your paper for years and I want it sent to me again. I am about to be retired. In moving about, I got missed of it." His name was Joshua Sutler. He had been a member of the Ninth Cavalry and had been with that famous battalion, when it made its celebrated record in Cuba. THIRTY YEARS OF SERVICE He had seen thirty years of service. He could tell much of army conditions, but I could not talk to him there on the government reservation, and after a hearty hand-shake, he passed up the roadway to the quarters, while I, in company with Mr. Johnson, proceeded towards the Exposition grounds, which could be seen far away beyond the officer's quizzes. I was in a mood of reverie, being awakened therefrom by my entrance at one of the gates and being attracted by the people, who were out. sight-seeking in this world-famed arena of transcendent attractions. A FRIENDLY VIRGINIAN. A white gentleman, who had lived in Richmond, had charge of a booth there and he came over to me, me and insisted upon our enjoying the hospitality of his line display.

We had been listening to the Filipino band of approximately one hundred musicians, when I looked up and saw Mr. Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Missouri. FOUND RACE PREJUDICE He was in company with a male companion and we talked over matters, while the band played. He declared that the Exposition was just awful, so far as the recognition and treatment of colored people were concerned. "Why," said he, "a colored man cannot get any decent accommodations in San Francisco and it is just as bad in here." I had not had an opportunity to meet up with the prejudice of which he made complaint and after more friendly greetings, I passed on. It was night-fall, when we decided to make the homeward trip in a fittney. "CREATION" AND ITS WINDSERS Mr. Johnson had done everything to make it pleasant for me His last effort was a visit to "Creation." I have never seen anything to equal it. The seven days spoken of in the Scriptures were plainly delineated. The mammoth theatre was dark and from thunder and lightning, the wide expanse of water, the bringing forth of land out of the depths, the appearance of foliage, trees and flowers and living things, and then the appearance of man, it was realistic and impressive. The water as shown on the ocean is realistic. It almost deded human detection. A tall gentleman, six feet in height discoursed upon the whole as the various scenes were shown. The formation of the woman from the rib of Adam was also transcendently realistic and beautiful in conception and execution. When we filed out from that show-house, it was with a feeling of satisfaction, a realization that the money had been well spent. When we arrived home, after a ride in a fitness from the Exposition Grounds, we found that Mrs Johnson had anticipated our wants and a supper was ready for us. PULLMAN CARE CROWDED I was to leave the next day (Saturday), and I made efforts to secure the necessary Palman reservation. It was a difficult task, and I was worried. I was told to call the next day and postage came one would THE ```markdown ``` HIPPODROME give up the reservation that they had taken. I went to bed that night troubled, but awoke the next morning fully determined to secure if possible, what I could not obtain the day before, a reservation upon one of the palatial Southern Pacific trains to Los Angeles, California, for my friend, "Bob" (Owens had sent me a special delivery letter stating that he would meet me there.

He will assume his pastoral duties there on the first Sunday in February. Rev. Woody is a recent graduate of Virginia Theological Seminary and College and is one of the bright young men now who have come out under President Woods. Rev. Woody filled the pulpit at Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, last Sunday, and proached two excellent sermons. NOTICE: Mr. C. P.

NOTEN. The Y. M. C. A. Night School opened January 4th, 8 P. M., and much interest was manifested. The Y. M. C. A. Literary, under the directions of Mr. A. C. Clarke, had a very profitable meeting last Friday. The program was a good one. The solo by Mr. E. J. Gary caught the fellows while that other soloist was left in the dark. The fellows had barrels of fun. This was an hour that helped. Last Saturday, 5 P. M., the class for the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson was largely attended and the hour was a benefit to all the men. Every man and boy was busy last Sunday, thus we had a full day for service. NEW YEAR'S OFFERING Wealthy people and Poor people can touch elbows when it comes to being satisfied.

PAGE 30 DARDANELLES FIASCO CAUSED BY REFUSAL TO REINFORCE AND BLUNDERS, SAYS GEN. London, Jan. 6—Gen. Ian Hamil don's report on the British operations on the Gallipoll peninsula was pub lished in the Official Gazette tonight. It tells the story of the fighting on the peninsula from the beginning of May to the middle of October. Probably no more important contribution to the history of the present war than you do. The report throws light on the great Indian Anzac core and Suita bay, August 7, which has been the subject of strong attacks upon the military administration of the government. REASON OF RECALL GIVEN. Failure of the British government to send the 50,000 reinforcements he had requested caused the collapse of the Dardencoles' enterprise, Gen. Hamilton asserted. The British commander made an equally seminal disclosure concerning the reasons that led to his recall forces on Gallipoll peninsula. Concerning his retirement (Gen. Hamilton reports: "On the eleventh of October, your lordship (Lord Kitchener) cabled asking me for an estimate of the losses which would be involved in the evacuation of the peninsula. I replied in terms showing that such a step was to me unthinkable. On the sixteenth of October, I received a cable recalling London for the reason, as I was informed, for my visit to rival, that his majesty's government desired fresh, unbiased opinion from a responsible commander upon the question of early evacuation." BROGHD FOR 58,000 MEN. In the middle of August Gen. Hamilton estimates the Turks had 110,000 rifles to the British $5,000. The Turks had plenty of ammunition and reserves while the British divisions were 45,000 below their nominal strength. Gen. Hamilton wanted 50,000 fresh rifles and a long siege making a reinforcements and munitions list, allowing that with them furnished at once—the underlines "at once"—the troops could clear a passage for the fleet to Constantinople. "It may be judged how deep was my disappointment," he says, "when I learned that essential drafts of reinforcements and munitions could not be sent, the reason given being one which prompted me from further insistence." GENERALS TO INEXPERIENCIO. The Suva bay landing failed to accomplish its object, the report shows partly because the force consisted largely of untried troops under generals inexperienced in the new warfare, and partly through the failure of the water supply. The sufferings of the troops for lack of water make painful reading. Gen. Hamilton strongly opposed the abandonment of any of the bases held by the British troops. The most stirring passages of the document describes the ill-fated landing at Suvla bay and Azazac for securing command of the heights on the raidle of the peninsula and cutting off from their base the Turkish forces at the lower extremity where the contente allied armies made their first landing. This operation began on August 6. The climax was reached at daybreak on the cliff. The Turkish forces grand attack from the summit of Chunukn Bair hill upon a short front held by two battalions of the Sixth North Lancashire and the Fifth Wiltshire regiments, which Gen. Hamilton describes as weakened in numbers, though net in spirit. BRITISH TROOPS WIPED OUT. * First, our men were shelled by every enemy gun, he says, "then as saulted by a huge column consisting of no less than a full division plus three battalions. The North Lancashire men were simply overwhelmed in their shallow trenches by sheer weight of numbers, while the Wiltshire, who were caught out in the open, were literally almost annihilated. "The ponderous mass of the enemy swept over the crest and swarmed around the Hampheshire and Gen. Baldwin's brigade, which had to give ground and were only extricated with great difficulty and very heavy losses. The British army marched and the New Zealand and Australian artillery, an Indian mountain artillery brigade and the Sixty-sixth brigade royal field artillery were getting the chance of a lifetime. As successive solid lines of Turks topped the crest of the ridge gage were worn through their formation and an iron rain fell on them as they tried to reform in the gullies. TURKS ARE MOWED DOWN. "Not here only did the Turks pay dearly for their receptivity of the vital crest. Empty reinforcements continued to move up under a heavy and accurate fire from our guns. Still they keep topping the ridge and pouring down the western slopes of Chanakkai Bak, on if determined to gain every- thing they had lost. But once they were over the crest they became exposed not only to the full blast of the gun, naval and military, but a battery of ten New Zealand machine guns, which played upon their serrified ranks at close range until their barrels were red hot. "Enormous losses were inflicted, and of the swarms which had once fairly crossed the crest line only a handful ever strapped back to their own side of Chuck Bunker." At the same time strong forces of the oneeye were hurled against the spur to the northeast where there arose a conflict so deadly that it may be considered the climax of four days' fighting for the ridge. GENERALS FIGHT IN BANKS "Portions of our line were pierced and the troops were driven clean down the hill. At the foot of the hill the men who were superviving the transport of food and water were rallied by Staff Capt. Street. Unhospitatingly they followed him back, where they plunged again into the midst of that series of struggles in which generals fought against men who dropped an scientific weapon and caught one another by the throat. "The Turks came on again and again. Fighting magnificently and calling upon the name of God, our men stood to it and maintained by many a deed of daring the old traditions of their race. There was no finching; they died in the ranks where they stood. Here Gens. Cayloy, Baldwin and Cooper and all their gaital men achieved great glory. On this bloody field fell Brig. Gen. Baldwin, who was the commander of the camp at Ladysmith. There too fell Brig. Gen. Cooper badly wounded. "Toward this supreme struggle the absolute last two battalions from the general reserve were now hurried, but by 10 in the morning, the effort of the enemy was spent. Soon their shattered remnants began to trickle back, leaving a track of corpses behind them. By night, except for prisoners or wounded, no live Turk was left upon our side. Two lesser attacks were made by the Turks the same day. Gen. Hamilton continues: "By evening the total casualties of Gen. Birdwood's force had reached 12,000, and included a very large proportion of officers. The thirteenth division of the new army under Maj. Gen. Shaw had alone lost 6,000, out of a grand total of 10,500. Brig. Gen. Baldwin was gone and all his staff, ten men manning the fifteen and disarming from the distressing effects. The Warwicks and Worcesters had lost literally every single officer. UNITS LOST 50 PER CENT "The old German notion that no unit could stand the loss of more than 25 per cent has been completely falsified. The thirteenth division and the Twenty-ninth brigade of the Tenth Irish division had lost more than twice that and in spirit were game for as much more fighting as might be required. British had hold all they gained except two important salienta, one a hill, momentarily carried by the Gurkhas, and the position on Chunuk Bair, which had been retained 48 hours. "Unfortunately," says Gen. Hamilton, "these two pieces of ground, small and worthless as they seemed, were worth, according to the ethics of war, 10,000 lives, for their loss or retention marked the differences between an important success and a sign of history. The grand coup had not come, the arrows were out of sight and beyond the battle, this was not the fault of Gen. Birdwood or any of the officers or men under his command." FIRST OPERATIONS SUCCEED The first operations on the Anzuzza zone appeared to have been carried out with comparative success. The Suvia Bay expedition which has been the subject of the greatest criticism, suffered various misfortunes. Elaborate plains were worked out by the army, staff of Vilayat De Behra. During the night of the 11th a division consisting of the Thirty second and Thirty-fourth brigades were brought from Imbra to Suvia. Three brigades with three batteries were landed in the darkness. The Turks were completely surprised. The division made good its position ashore. Most of the supporting force consisted of the Irish Tenth division, were brought from Mytellene. Gen. for landing the first of the ships the navy from a distance of 120 miles, at the psychological moment when they were most needed. NAVY REFUSED TO COOPERATE But the navy was unwilling to land six battalions where the corps commander considered they could act more effectively. The cause of the navy's action, Gen. Hamilton says, was for some reason not specified, but it resulted in delay. The men were obliged to march considerable distance unarmed and landed behind Gen. Hamilton lays stress on the fact that a large proportion of the troops were new men. "On the morning of the 8th," says the report, "Gen. Stopford, recollecting the vast issues which hung upon his success in forestalling the enemy, urged his divisional commander to push on; otherwise all the advantages of the surprise landing must be nullified by the divisional commander believed themselves to be unable to move. "These pleas for delay," says Gen. Hamilton, "were perfectly well-founded. But it seems to have been overlooked that the half-defeated Turks in front of us were equally exhausted and disorganized, and that an advance was the simplest and swiftest method of solving the water trouble and every other sort of trouble. But as it may, the objections overcome the corps commander's resolution. But it was lack of artillery support which finally decided him to acquiesce in the policy of going slow, which by the time it reached the troops became translated into a period of inaction. ORDER MEANT FAILURE "The divisional generals were informed that in view of the inadequate artillery support Gen. Stopford did not wish them to make frontal attacks on entrenched positions, but desired to try to turn any traps which were THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA met with. Within the terms of this instruction lies the root of our failure to make use of the pristine daylight hours of the 5th of August." The remainder of the story of Suvita consists largely of misfortunes. Gen. Hamilton explains that the senior commanders lacked experience in the new trench warfare and in the Turkish mount importance of time. On the 15th Gen. Stoppard was relieved of the command of his division corps. Do Liale succeeded him. The accounts in the report of the suffering of the soldiers from lack of water are graphic. DARED NOT USE RESERVES Describing the operations on August 10, Gen. Hamilton explains why all the reserves were not available. "At times," he says, "I thought of throwing my reserves into this stubborn central battle, where probably they would have turned the scale. But each time water troubles made me give up the idea, all ranks at Anzac being reduced to a pint a day. The document is the description of the joint army and navy plans for probably the most difficult and complicated operations over attempted on so large a scale. It was impossible to concentrate a third of the fresh troops to be launched in an attack on Suvila and Anzac within the confines where the British held ground. Part of the forces were at Imbros, part at Mudros, part at Mytilene, respectively 14 miler, 50 miles and 120 miles from the area in which they were to appear simultaneously with militia stores, animals and equipment. In conclusion Gep Hamilton bids an encouragement farewell to his comrades. FLORENCE, S. C. ITEMS FLOREENCE, S. C., Jan. 10.—Whethe bounce train from Columbia S. C., headed for Wilmington, N.

A Johnson of this city, well known as a lawyer and author, and formerly dean of the Law School of Shaw University, delivered a notable emancipation address at the emancipation exercises held in this city last Sunday afternoon at Salem M. E. Church. The address was one of the most notable and inspiring messages that has ever been delivered to the race on a similar occasion, and is one that is likely to remain in the hearts of the hearers for a long time. Lawyer Johnson urged his hearers to prepare for the new and stern duties that await the Negro for the coming year, to take an interest in politics become generally suited to all matters he would like to welfare of the Negro. He praised Lincoln as the greatest friend to the Negro, and said that he was proud to state that the Negro had made good since his emancipation. Before Mr. Johnson spoke there were preliminary exercises which were conducted under the auspices of the Salam Lyceum under which the meeting was held. Special music was furried by the faculty of the direction of Professor Phain Martin. President George W. Allon presided. A feature of the meeting was the original poem entitled "A Race Prayer," by Prof. J. H. Brown, Jr., a teacher in the public schools of this city. The "Emancipation Proclamation" was read by D. N. Thompson. Song was sung by Lewis P. Williams and L. B. Lightbourne. Lawyer Johnson was presented to the audience by Lawyer Philip M. Thorne, one of the most progressive of the younger lawyers in this city. Mr. Thorne said in presenting Mr. Johnson he is a lawyer of great tation, a statement of authority of the court, should feel proud. Lawyer Johnson who is active in all movements for the uplift of the race in this city, won his hearers by the calm and unaffected manner he employed in the delivery of his address. Mr. Johnson said in part: "It gives me pleasure to be presented with a part in all the efforts offered our race, and no man who deserves more gratitude than Abraham Lincoln. "There have been others who have written their name upon the pages of American history, but no name shines out with more splendor than the name Abraham Lincoln. He rose to be the emancipator of 400,000 slaves. Can you imagine what would have been the result if Lincoln had not signed, the proclamation?" Continuing, Johnson said that the death of the Negro was so rapid until in famous laws are passed in the South, when the Negro down. "I want you to be prepared for this new freedom, and the watchword for this new year," said Mr. Johnson "should be prepared noose. How shall we stand the test? We must take up the duties of the new year and noose before. We must take up the fine body and look after our health generally." Speaking of the political situation as it confronts the Negro, Mr. Johnson said: "We must prepare ourselves politically. No race can succeed unless it takes some interest in politics. The ballot was given us as a weapon, and we must use this weapon as a weapon." "Note for men who are righteous and upright in politics. "The meanest thing in American is prejudice," said Mr. Johnson. "It is a great country, full of opportunities, but the worst thing of all that the infamous prejudice of this country is rampart. Lawyer Johnson urged members of this, the race in this city, who come from the South, to enter upon their new duties with energy and faith, because much depended upon their conduct in the North among their fellow white brethren. The address of Lawyer Johnson was regarded as one of the most significant messages that has ever come from the public men of our race in this city. It was brimful of helpful suggestions, which, if regarded, will give the Negro great impetus for the new duties of the public man. Lawyer Johnson is one of the most consistent men of the race, and has done much to help the race. He may be regarded as the first historian of the race whose books on the Negro problem have done much to present the race in the truest light. His "History of the Negro Race" and "Light Ahead" are well-known to the reading public. LEESBURG, VA. Mrs. Henter Gant and Mr. Frank Taylor were happily joined in wedgeock Thursday at 7:30 P. M. Rev. Dr. E. D. Tyler tied the knot, not to be untied. The bride was dressed in blue serge, beautifully made. She friends were there. One lady was from Washington, D.C. She told her to bring him by hand. She also said she wished that the word oboy was cut out of the license. They had everything in common. The table was loaded with all the good things of the season. Mr. John Carpenter recently returned home, after spending the Christmas in Richmond with his son. John and wife. He reports a fine time. Rev. Dr. E. D. Taylor was at his beat all day. At eleven A. M., he mounted the rostrum with Brother Lane Daw. He gave us a strong and inspiring sermon from the subject, "The One Thing to Do. Phil. 3:13. "Forgetting the thing the law made that we should for the things that are before me." As our books didn't get here, Brother Lane Daw gave us a nice talk on the lesson of the Holy Spirit. at 2:30. At eight o'clock, the pastor was at his post of duty with the choir in their seats. Theme, "Go Forward." Text, Exodus 14:15. His discourse was with the choir on the subject. Rev W. R. Manley left Saturday for Charleston, where he will preach for those people. We pray for him a successful day. Mrs. Henrietta Sewell arrived home to-day, after a very extended trip to friends in St. Louis, Va. The fresh air cars didn't prove to be an attractive in practice as they appeared in theory, which was worked out in a stuff atmosphere. A sleigh ride has a wonderful attraction to one looking out through the windows of a cozy room, but it is a different matter when the discontented and yearning soul gets on the front seat and speeds against a biting witty blast. The open car in winter provides all of the sleigh ride sensations except the esthetic ones, and even more to boot. The chilled rider cannot alight and warm up until the journey's end. One thing, however, the "fresh air wind" may do without interfering with the comfort of his fellows, and that is fill up on fresh air "before and after" his shout in ride. Under the constitution adopted about three years ago in China there was a pretense of provisions for future elections, but they were so fashioned that the president could re-elect himself indefinitely and at his death leave the machinery in the hands of his friends. The only practical change is the dropping of the pretense of elections and the making of the rule hereditary. If this country is to look out for the South American states it might be well to give them a hint about preparedness on their own book. True philanthropy helps only those who are unable to help themselves. Critics who see nothing but faults and shortcomings in our farming methods must feel small when they digest the crop reports which chronicle record yields and an ever increasing output each year. Twenty million people saw the Liberty bell on its western trip. Let us hope that this means 20,000,000 confirmed rosters for what the bell stands for. Why not the addies do a preparedness stunt by themselves? Then there will be little danger of national jingles "plunging the country into war" Good roads last year cost $24,000,000, and it ought not to be necessary to go hunting for said good roads. The motto "Hitter late than never" also applies to the holiday season in the mind of the shoegeeper. AGENTS FOR PLANET You Can Secure The Planet Any Week From These Agents In Various Cities. F. M.

Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate References have been made in these articles to Mr. Bowser's wallet and the care he takes of it o' nights. Mr. Bowser inherited this prudence from male ancestors dating back hundreds of years. Only about one man in fifty- that is, one husband—leaves his wallet so carelessly about that it becomes a temptation to his wife. Mr. Bowser is neither a stinky man nor a suspicious one. He is simply a prudent man. He realizes that should Mrs. Bowser have a ferocious attack of insomnia some night at midnight, while he was peacefully snoring away, she would get up and walk the floor. Her eye would catch the end of his wallet sticking out of the inside pocket of his coat, and she would naturally withdraw that wallet. She would also naturally open that wallet and count the contents. As a wife, she would feel that a third of the wealth belonged to her, and she might take a ten dollar bill and lay it aside for future use. When Mr. Bowser came to count the contents in the morning and discovered a shortage he would be perplexed as to whether he gave it to the heathen the day before or a burglar had captured the house during the night. Mr Bowser. Like other husbands, has been known to carry his prudence so far as to hide his wallet under the front steps just previous to bedtime. DOLLY GASCHER He has hidden it in the house in forty different places, and he has always beoved a great sigh of relief when he has found it safe in the morning. The other day, while hunting for an old hat in his clothes closet, he saw one of his old coats hanging on a book. It had a tail pocket. The wallet might be placed in that pocket time after time and Mrs. Bowser would never discover it. He made a mental note of this, and that might the wallet rested in a new place. Next morning as Mr. Bowser was yawning and stretching and preparing to arise and go down to his breakfast a dog fight took place in front of his house. He jumped out of bed and yelled to the smaller of the two dogs to go in and pin. At the breakfast table he was still excited over the scrap, and when he started for his office the wallet still remained in the pocket of the old coat. He had street car tickets and did not discover the loss until he came to pay for his noon-day lunchun. Then he could not pay. He had neither change nor wallet. The waiter observed that no such game could be played on the house, and Mr. Bowser had to leave his watch as security for 30 cents. He remembered where he had left that wallet, and he started for home instanter. He did not take the trolley car. It was too slow for him. He started off out a fast walk, which gradually grew into a bobble and the hobble into a run. In the last half mile of the race he carried a red face, his eyes bulged out, and his hat was in his hand. Scores of men called to him to ask what was the matter, but he never answered nor paused for a moment. He was racing against three. At any moment Mrs. Bowser might find that wallet and extract a bill. Mrs. Bowser got a great shock when Mr. Bowser burst into the hall and had to sit down on the lower step of the stairs and grasp for breath. While a hundred feet from his gate he had seen an old rag buyer pass out with a full sock over his shoulder. Perhaps Mrs. Bowser had been selling him his old clothes and that old coat was among the garments. "What on earth is the matter?" she enchanted, as she leaned against the wall for support. "Did you—did you"— "Did I what?" "Did you sail that man any old clothes?" "Why, you. But what has that got to do with your coming home this time of day?" "You—you sold my old clothes, did you? Woman, you have ruined me!" And Mr. Bowser jumped up and dashed out of doors and down the steps and looked for the ringman. He was just turning a distant corner, and he was pursued. He entered a house two blocks below, and Mr. Bowser missed him. He was running about like a dog seeking a lost trail when a policeman stopped him and asked him if his house was on fire or his wife was dying. Just then the old ragman showed up a block away, and Mr. Bowser broke from the policeman's grasp and galloped away. The old man heard the clatter of his feet behind him and looked around, and then started off at his best pace. No old man can run very fast with a big sack bumping his back at every jump, and Mr. Bowser soon overhaul the fugitive and had the sack in his possession. "What you fight me for?" was demanded of him. "You bought some old clothes on Third place half an hour ago. I want a coat you bought." "I no buy a coat there." "Don't lie to me, you old, villain! Where is that coat?" And Bowser was pulling the garments out of his sack, and the old man was trying his hardest to prevent, when the policeman came up. In response to his demand, two stories were told, and as they did not agree he walked the two men to the station house. When the same two stories were told to the sergeant at the desk he replied: "We will have the sack searched and see." It was searched, and there was no coat in it. "He stopped somewhere and hid it!" aboutted Mr. Bowsor. "I no buy coat there. I no see wallet. I was some poor and honest man!" protested the old man. "In your wife at home?" asked the sergeant of Mr. Bowser. "She is." was the reply. "Then step to that telephone and ask her to come down here. You can wait in the back room until she arrives." "But, man, I am Mr. Bowyer!" roared the hero of the wallet and the old coat. "That makes no difference to me. If your wife does not come down here I will have you locked up, and you might later tell your story in court. You seem to be a very bullheaded sort of man." It took Mrs. Bowyer over half an hour to dress and get down there. Mr. Bowyer greeted her with almost a about of relief, but the sergeant waved him aside with the words: "You keep quiet, old man, while I ask your wife a few questions. Now, then, Mrs. Bowyer, you sold this old man some old clothes, did you?" "Yes, sir." "How many garments in all?" "Why, five or six, I guess. There were two old suits and parts of two or three more, and some of them had been lying around the house for two or three years." "But this coat was an old brown one—a cutaway," put in Mr. Bower. "Didn't I tell you to keep still?" thundered the sergeant. "About sixty days behind the bars is what you seem to be aching for." "I didn't sell that one," said Mrs. Bower. "I saw it hanging on the hook and thought you would need it when you were working about the house. No; I did not sell that one, and I felt in the pockets of all I did sell before I let them go. Besides this, I knew your wallet was in that coat, for I saw you hide it there last night." "You are evidently a mean old husband," said the servant to Mr. Bowser. "I'll bet your wife don't get 10 cents a week for pin money. I will send an officer up with you to see if the story of the cost is true. It probably is, for I don't believe such a nice little woman would tell a lie about it." And an officer accompanied them home and went upstairs and saw the coat with his own eyes. It was hanging there as safely as money in a savings bank. A tall pocket was inwrapped, and the missing wallet was brought forth and opened to the broad light of day. "That's mine!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he reached for it. "You are a new old guy" said the of- fer as he handed the wallet over. "You not only hide your money for fear your wife may get hold of a dollar, but you go away and forget it and then create such a row that the whole county is asking who has been mur- dered in his bed. Say, old chap, you had better make a change or you will find yourself in a heap of trouble. Good day, Mrs. Bowser. I am sorry for you." And when the officer had left the house Mr. and Mrs. Bowser sat down and looked at each other for a long long time. Then Mrs. Bowser broke into a laugh and said: "Mr. Bowser, this is the dead line. We will consult our respective lawyers and procure a divorce as soon as pos- sible." And something like a smile boved around Mr. Bowser's mouth as he re plied that, being it was a broken day, he would not go back to the office, but would stay home and fix the lower hinge on the front gate.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TEUTONS RETREAT ON RUSSIAN FRONT EXPECT MOVE ON. DVINSK Military Experts Look for Another Teuton Drive in Poland to Offset Pressure in Galicia. Steady progress is being made by the Russians in their great offensive movement on the frontier of Buko wina and in southern Galicia. It is officially reported in Petrograd that the Austro-Hungarian troops holding the line northeast of Cserno witz are falling back before the assaults of the czar's forces. Fighting is going on in bitter cold weather amid the snow filled valleys of the mountains east of the Pruth river. General Ivanoff, who was put into command of a big group of Russian armies when the czar took the supreme command in the eastern theae tre of the war, is directing the operations on the Galilean front. It is reported that the German war office, alarmed at the violence of the Russian attacks, has ordered large detachments of German troops and masses of artillery to Bukowina to prevent another Russian drive toward Hungary, such as took place last winter. However, before the Russians could gain a position which would menace the Austro-German line of communication into the Balkans they would have to cross the Carpathians in the face of insuperable difficulties. Vienna professes the belief that Russia's has concentrated a majority of her first line troops on the Gelleician front and military experts now look for an other German drive on the Dvinsk front, to offset the pressure against the Teutons further south. The very fact that the Russians are advancing along the Kovel-Byno rail way is held by military men to be of great importance, since it indicates a concentration with a view to taking Kovel, an important point of communication between the German and Austrian front. In order to relieve the pressure on the Kovel-Sarmy line, the Teutons counter-attacked southwest of Kolki, but without result, it is announced. Allies Arrest 1000 at Salonika. An Amsterdam despatch quote the Athena correspondent of the semi-official German Wolff bureau, saying that the total number of enemy subjects arrested by the entente allies at Salonika is 1000 The situation at Salonika has been complicated through the arrest of the entente officers of the consuls, not only of the central powers, but also of one neutral country - Norway. Swift reprisals by Bulkaria and possibly by others of the central allies already is indicated. The arrests appear to have been part of a campaign begun some time ago aiming to purge Salonika or spies or suspected spies. French aerplanes have bombarded the enemies' camps at Glevgell and Strumultza, as a return for the recent visit of Teuton aviators to Salonika. A despatch to the Echo de Paris says that according to reports of allied aviators and Bulkarian deserters, the Bulgar-German forces on the Greek frontier aggregate 156,000 men. Of these 120,000 are Bulgarians on the Dolran-Glevgell front aft the balances are Germans on the Uskub-Monastil line. Threats of Lynching Follow Arrest. Threats of Lynching were revived in Carroll county near Baltimore Md., when newsreel there that Trueman Williams, a colored youth of fifteen, sought with Solomon Suller also colored, in connection with the murder on Sunday last of William P Brown, a farmer, had been arrested and locked up here. Suller is still at large. First Accident Under New Law. The first fatal accident in or about the mines of the Hazleton district since the compensation act became effective occurred in the Jeddo No. 4 colliery of the G. B. Markle company, where Julius Sambolaki, of Hacleton, was killed by a fall of rock while robbling pillars. Perhaps most interesting of all "preparedness" documents is the special report of the army war college division of the general staff. It presents most thoroughly the possibility of American disaster through aggressive foreign military activity. The picture that the war college division draws in undeniably alarming. It shows the shores of the United States overrun with hostile soldiers while our own army is being organized. It shows a hostile force of 387,000 men and 61,270 horses with full equipment landing here in fifteen days after the defeat of our navy, with monthly additions of 440,000 men. At this rate the country could be conquered before more than a feeble initial resistance could be made. There is a point which must be calculated on in the figuring—the strength of our navy. All the figures of the war college are based on the foreign foe breaking through our coast defenses. The college will evidently insist on having our strongest barrier in a place where an enemy would be nearly whipped and practically useless if he ever should break through the outer defenses.
