THE RICHMOND PLANET RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 21 DR. BUNDY SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON (By The Association of Negro Press.) Chicago, April. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, dentist and prominent in civic matters in his former home at East St. Louis, Ill., was declared guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment by he Circuit Court, in Waterloo, Ill., Friday. The conviction is the outcome of charges preferred against Dr. Bundy as the result of the East St. Louis riots in July 1917. It is certain that there will be a nation for a new trial and the case will be appealed if this is denied. The East St. Louis riots, in which more than 100 occurred and resulted in the devastation on of that section of East St. Louis where the majority of the colored people live, for the blackest spot on the esculorphe of the great state of Illinois. The immediate charge against Dr. Bundy was that of murder in connection with the killing of two policemen on the night of July 1. Dr. Bundy was the last of thirty four defendants to be given prison terms in connection with the riot, of whom twenty were whites. The case is one of national importance as thousands of people are of the belief that Dr. Bundy is being persecuted and is being made the scapegoat in a carnival of crime that will never be effaced from the memory of people. A price was placed on Dr. Bundy's head for a long time and he was finally taken into custody at Cleveland, Ohio, his former home, where his parents live, and where he graduated from Westem Reserve University in Dentistry. Extraction was fought before Gov. Cox of Ohio who granted a special hearing and after much delay finally permitted Dr. Bundy to be taken back to Illinois. After languishing in jail for some months he finally secured bail and all last year travelled over the country telling his side of the story, and raising funds for his defence. The National Association of colored People was at first very active in co-operating with the Dr. Bundy and his friends in fighting the case, but because of certain indiscreet incidents connected with the collection of funds as claimed by the Association this organization publicly announced withdrawal from participation in the law-suit. Dr. Bundy has no children but is married and the untiring interest efforts of his wife, native of St. Louis in endeavoring to obtain his freedom have attracted the greatest attention and aroused genuine sympathy. Dr. Bundy is the son of Rev. Dr. Chas. Bundy of Cleveland a presiding elder in the A. M. E. Church and mentioned for P. Klophe. He has a brother, Richard Bundy secretary of location, Monrovia Liberia. Sentiment in Chicago is divided on the outcome of the trial. YANCEY—DEBBRESS Mr. and Mrs. Miles C.

Thursday afternoon there appeared in the Newa Leader an article coming from the Housewives League of Richmond asking the Retail Merchants to abolish all colored women engaged in such work such as woda dispensers and waitresses to make kitchen help, ava table. Does the white girl too myself above the kitchen en, if not, why not employ them? It is indeed the worse ever stared in Richmond. If our women are good enough to work in a decent place waiting upon desert or aristocratic people, who knows how to respect them, they are too good to wait upon the serbs that don't even re organize them as being human. It is the time that we as a race should strive to reach the highest element in life and no, always be servants. It is no disgrace to work in a kitchen but there is not one employed in these places, that will go into these kitchens by force unless they disgrace themselves. They showed their patriotism by taking the places of men that went to war and now they must give up their places for someone else to come in and receive all赦品. Is it possible that our men that wen over and accomplished victory, return and receive such courtesy from these people? We are human and some day we must reach the turning point. Did not our boys fight for democracy? Then may I ask that democracy be defined? It is time for the question to arise. How shall the Negro be rewarded? He can only be rewarded in one way and that is to receive a proper education. Must not be Jim Crowed or Separated. Must not be lynched and must be put on the same social equality basis with the white man. There is no other place upon the face of Gods green earth or her that the south towards the colored man. To my opinion it is what may be called a Hell on Earth. PROFESSOR RUSSELL ADMIRES THE FOUNDER OF THE IDEAL SOCIETY Industrial Department Virginia Union University, Charles F. Russell, Supt. Reichmond, Virginia, Mr. A. W. Holmes My dear Mr. Holmes. Your letter of March 3rd informing me of the fact that you had paid the late note due on the Hall of the National Ideal society was quite a surprise. I do not consider the matr of beniency anything when compared to your personal character and sincerity. You have always shown a fine capacity for business and unquestioned honesty. I have one theory on which I build most of my confidence. This theory is based on men, and not on schemes and plans. Often I find it difficult to comprehend a scheme; the fact that certain men are advocating it, I am willing to follow because of the confidence in them. I confess I did not see much future for the National Ideal Benefit society when you first started it, therefore I was willing to follow you and take your word and advice. By so doing, I find that I was wise as you have proven your self to be a worry leader. Wishing you the greatest success with your organization with kindest regards. I am Very truly yours. —CHAS T.

The white south is wide awake now with reference to the necessity of giving the Negro youth a fair and just education. Their own "insus of omission" in this respect seem to pique them to the soul, and in every section there is a new deal with reference to better education. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey was one of the speakers in the dedicatory exercises of the Spelman Seminary buildings this week in honor of Laura Spelman Rockefeller the late wife of John D. Rockefeller. Governor Dorsey declared that the state had been short sighted in not doing more in the post for the education of the Negro and he spoke strongly in favor of giving Negro children a practical education Mayor Jas L. Key also spoke and advocated high school facilities, public play grounds and libraries for the Negroes. State Supt. M. L. Pritton spoke of renewed effort in teaching patriotism and home building.

Chicago is under going a very serious problem of adjustment in the matter of employment. Like every other section of the country, laboring conditions have been seriously inferred with by press economic conditions. Hundreds of contracts for war goods being canceled in plants where thousands of our people were employed have caused a suspension of work and is throwing out of employment of thousands of men and women. While jumboids of these people have saved up for the proverbial "rainy day," many have not and the situation has become very急货 for them. The statement from the police department that much of the recent wave of crime that has been spreading throughout the city is due to the entrenched offenses of Negro laborers, has met with instant denial, in so far as attributing the conditions so generously to the Race. The majority of the big crimes, by far, are traced to whites. Nevertheless, the Negro is an important part of the big problem of work, and every effort is being made both by the city and through other agencies, to furnish immediate enployment. While reports are coming from the south that conditions are changing materially there, and that work is far more plentiful than in the north at the present time, not five per cent of the people who came north during the recent migration have any desire to return to their former homes. They argue that they would rather remain in the north with less wages and more opportunities for the education of their children and evicie free dom, than be compelled to endure the privitions and discriminations so blacently manifested in many southern communities. Millions of dollars will be spent in building in Chicago his year, and as soon as the spring weather opens up every one who is willing to work will get it.

SUBSCRIPTION RATER. One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....60 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....APRIL 5, 1918 PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE PEACE CONFERENCE. The latest news from the Peace Conference in Paris is disquieting and indicates that the warring factions in Europe have virtually reached the stage where they have a diplomatic war among themselves. That President Woodrow Wilson is the central figure in the midst of this most embarrassing situation is admitted. This is due to the fact that the arististic signed by the German plenipotentiaries and their allies was based upon President Wilson's fourteen points in his remarkable peace letter. That the distinguished American President is having the time of his life is plainly evident from the communications now being sent from Paris. Mr. Albert W. Fox, the very able correspondent of the Washington Post in the issue of that journal of the 1st inst., says: Despite disturbing reports from Paris that President Wilson contemplates issuing statements defending himself against charges that he is delaying peace and seeking to place the blame elsewhere, and despite hints that the President may summarily terminate his part in the negotiations and leave for America, the situation is regarded in official and diplomatic circles as rather improved. The acute tension reflected in the cables is viewed as indicative of impending decisions with the champions of each policy now holding out to the bittor and while hoping that opposition will give way. It is not believed, however, that any of the leaders seriously contemplate rendering bankrupt the work of the peace conference. The threats and counterthreats are taken merely as signals that double action is at last on its way. This is an optimistic way of stating the situation in Europe and far-seeing citizens may read between the lines the direct information that he is seeking to impart. Japan now looms up on the horizon as a most important factor. Having secured recognition as one of the Great Powers, she is demanding that its recognition shall be officially recognized to the extent that her citizens be accorded all of the rights and privileges accorded he subjects and citizens of any of the other Great Powers. This is expressed in her demand for racial equality and the recognition of this equality in the draft of the Constitution of the League of Nations that is to be adopted by the assembled representatives of all nations at the Peace Conference. Just how President Wilson and the other American delegates can avoid acceding o Japan's demands in view of the explicit statement in the Declaration of Independence is the question. The American instrument reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal." That the Japanese are willing and anxious to have this exact language embodied in the Constitution of the League of Nations hardly admits of a question. Will the American delegation permit it to be enrafted and written in the instrument? Certainly, the situation is embarrassing and the indications are that it will become even more embarrassing. The French representatives are vainly endeavoring to break down some of the prov'ions in President Wilson's Fourteen Points. To do so is to invite a refusal to sign the peace terms on the part of the German Republic. This will necessarily cause the Representative from the United States to support the Germans in their conta- It is evident that the ideals for which the distinguished American Chief Executive has been contending are not being recognized by many of the selfish semi-civilized nations with which he is associating. The colored people in this country are watching the sessions of the Peace Conference with interest, realizing and believing that out of this cauldron of disagreement will come the recognition of great triumphs, the association and practicing of which will lead to the settlement of conditions for them in this country.

I: is self evident that when the Great Powers admitted Japan into membership and she became a factor in the settlement of the world war, this in itself carried with it the recognition of that country as an equal of all of the other members of this powerful coalition. To intimate or to infer that she was in my sense of the word inferior to those nations with which she is now affiliated seems to the average mind ridiculous. That the Japanese recognize this fact is made plainly apparent by the remarkable, but clearly stated position of the once he mit kingdom by her representative in Paris. He is quoted as follows: Paris, April 2.—No Asiatic nation could be happy in a league of nations in which sharp racial discrimination is maintained, Baron Makino, head of the Japanese delegation to the peace conference, declared In a statement to the Associated Press today on the position of Japan. "We are not too proud to fight," the baron said, "but we are too proud to accept a place of admitted inferiority in dealing with one or more associate nations. We want nothing but simple Justice." Japan is glad to join a league of nations to maintain peace and order, the baron added. Japan does not wish, he continued, to force her laborers as immigrants on any associate countries, and recognizes that this question is one for each nation to deal with itself. Japan feels that she is entitled to a frank and open admission by the allies that the principle of equity and justice is a fundamental tenet of the league of nations, the baron continued. Japan sees difficulties in the way of a permanent and successful operation of the league, he asserted, unless the contracting parties enter it with mutual respect. What does the distinguished Japanese diplomat mean by taking a diametrically opposite view of President Wilson's declaration made prior to our entrance into the war when he said that a nation may be too proud to fight? Baron Makino emphasizes the fact that his country is not too proud to fight. We can hardly construe this into a threat. It certainly does not mean that Japan is ready to fight for the equality that it demands. He emphasizes the fact that "we want nothing but simple justice." Can an American President and an American Congress that made war with Germany for just this reason fail to accord to one of its own allies simple justice? An answer must be given in a very short time and Japan is awaiting that answer. It is a long way to a recognition of right principles on the part of the Government and some of its agents, but it will come after a while. People who are trying to do right are being constantly magged, brow-laten and worried and people who do wrong seem to enjoy immunity from these kind of annoyances. Commonsense is a valuable asset. Get learning, but with it get common sense. "Marry in haste and repent at leisure" is an old saying, but some of these people are slow about marrying and fast about getting a divorce after they are married. The people over in Europe seem to want President Wilson over here and the people over here seem to feel the same way about President Wilson. As both sides agree that they should have him in this country, it would be well for him to "come on back home." The French people seem to think that President Wilson "is sat in his ways." He could not be any other way for he has his own wife with him.

The Virginia Baptist State Sunday School Convention will meet this year in Richmond, Va., July 30, 1919. It will be a joint meeting of the General Association of Virginia, the Woman's Educational and Missionary Convention, the Virginia Baptist State S. S. Convention and the State B. Y. P. U. of Virginia and will be held in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the landing of the first Negroes in America, and the 50th anniversaries of the Virginia Baptist State Sunday the Virginia Bostet State Sunday School Convention. Further information will be given at the Union on the 13th of April P. H. Hilton, President: J. W-Lan, caster, Corresponding Secretary. The sad and painful news of the death of Mrs. Mary E. Hardy, of Brooklyn, N. Y. was received last Wednesday by her sister, Mrs. Ida B. Allen. The community goes out in sympathy with her. Mr. Arthur H. Daniel of Philadelphia, was the guest of his grandmother, Mrs. Louisa Marshall for several days last week. Lieutenant Carence O. Hilton is back from France with many interesting stories of the battle front. The Lieutenant and his wife spent several days in the city last week. Lieutenant J. E. Griggsby, of A. and T. College stopped by for a few days, enroute to Camp Lee. Mr. Joseph Madden is in the city for a few days. Messrs. Lemuel C. Bland and Richard A. Hilton attended the dance, "Tonds" at Humbles Hall, Lynchburg last Tuesday night. The affair was quite unique and they report having had a very good time. Miss Violet Moore, of Grove S gave a few of her friends a very rare and surprise treat last Saturday BEULAH A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday was a high time in Zion at Beulah. At 11:30 o'clock the pastor preached a splendid sermon from St. Mark 15:34, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me." At 3:30 another large gathering came to us from the First Baptist Church, Rev. Wiley and his people. Rev. Wiley praeced from St. John 14:3, "And I if I go away, I will com again." It was an appropriate text for the occasion as our pastor will soon leave for the seat of the annual conference at Portsmouth, Va. Dr. Wiley and his good people and choir came over to help us and we are exceedingly glad and grateful to them for the splendid services rendered. In his eloquent way he told of the tears and sadness caused by the parting of good friends, but hoped and prayed that Rev. Augustus would come back to the church and community of Farmville as pastor, friend and brother again for another year. Deacon Hill, after encouraging remarks to pastor and members, lifted an offering of $11.39 which was presented to Rev. J. R. Augustus to help on his conference calls. The pastor of Beulah and the members thanked the good friends of our sister church for their handsome offering and especially their pastor, Rev. Wiley, who is endeavoring to show the Christian unity so much needed today in every community. At 8 o'clock we had a great missionary mass meeting. Our good friend, Mr. Lemuel B and assisted by Mrs. M. J. Augustus, president of the Missionary Society gave us a splendid program for this occasion. An appreciative audience listened to the recitations, songs, olos and missionary remarks from the best talent in our town. The program was as follows: Opening hymn; prayer, Rev. J. R. Augustus; Scripture lesson, Mrs. G. Lancaster; recitation. Miss Myrtle Vaughan; select reading, Mrs. Sud Bethel; solo, Mrs. Ermine Brown Allen, accompanist, her daughter, Miss Josephine Ellis Allen, both from Prospect, Va.; paper, Mr. Purnell Watkins; solo, Mrs. Pearl Madden; remarks by Deacon Weldon Scott; duet, Miss Merrill and Mr. Lemuel Bland. The offering was lifted by Brethren John Brown and John Deane. Remarks by Mrs. M. J. Augustus, President of Missionary Society and by the $_{\text{th}}$ Pastor.

Resolutions were passed providing for another Congress to be held in Paris during the year 1921. The following resolutions, to be presented to the Peace Conference now in session, were unanimously adopted: 1. The Negroes of the world in Pan African Congress assembled demand in the interests of justice and humanity for the purpose of strengthening the forces of Civilization that immediate steps he taken to develop the 200,000,000 of Negroes and Negroids; to this and they propose: 1. That the Allied and Associated Powers establish a Code of Laws for the international protest. 2. Native of Africa similar to the proposed international Code for Labor. 2. That the League of Nations establish a permanent Bureau charged with the special duty of overseeing the application of these laws to the political social and economic welfare of the Native. 11. The Negroes of the world demand that bereftier the Natives of Africa and the Peoples of African decept be governed according to the following principles: 1. The land: The land and its natural resources shall be held in trust for the Natives and at all times they shall have effective ownership of much land as they can profitably develop. 2. Capital: The investment of capital and granting of concessions shall be so regulated as to prevent the explanation of Natives and the natural wealth of the country. Concessions shall always be limited time and subject to State control. The growing social needs of the natives must be regarded and the profit taxed for the social and material benefit of the Natives. 3.—Labor: Slavery, forced labor and corporal punishment, except in punishment of crime, shall be abolished and the general conditions of labor shall be prescribed and regulated by the State. 4.—Education: It shall be the right of every native child to learn to read and write his own language and the language of the trustee nation, at public expense, and to be given technical instruction in some branch of industry. The State shall also educate as large a number of Natives as possible in higher technical an cultural training and maintain a corps of Native teachers. 5. Medicine and Hygiene: I shall be recognized that human existence in the tropics calls for special guards and a scientific system of public hygiene. The State shall be responsible for medical care and sanitary conditions without discouraging collective and individual initiation ve vice creed by the state shall provide physicians and hospitals, and shall enforce rules. The State shall establish a native medical staff. 6.—The State: The Natives of Africa must have the right to participate in the government as fast as their development permits in conformity with the principle that the government exists for the Natives and not the Natives for the government. The Natives shall have voice in the government to the extent that their development permits, beginning at once with local and tribal government according to ancient usage, and extending gradually as education and experience proceeds to the higher offices of State, to the end that 'n time, Africa be ruled by consent of the Africans. 7. —Culture and Religions: No particular religion shall be imposed an no particular form of human culture. There shall be liberty of conscience. The uplift of the Natives shall take into consideration their present condition and shall allow the u most scope to racial genius, social inheritance and individual bent, so long as these are not contrary to the best established principles of civilization. 8. —Civilized Negroes: Wherever persons of African descent are civilized and able to meet the tests of sur rounding culture they shall be accorded the same rights as their fellow cliff zens; they shall not be denied on account of race or color a voice in the r own government justice before the courts and economic and social equality according to ability and desert. 9.—The League of Nations: Greater security of life and property shall be guaranteed the Natives; international labor legislation shall cover Native workers as well as whites; they shall have equitable representation on in all the international institutions of the League of Nations, and the participation of the blacks themselves in every domain of endeavor shall be encouraged in accordance with the declared object of Article 19 of the League of Nations, to wilt: "The well being and the development of these peoples constitute a sacred mission of civilization and it is proper in establishing the League of Nations to incorporate therein pledges for the accomplishment of 'his mission.'" Whenever it is proven that African Natives are not receiving just treatment at the hands of any State or that any state deliberately excludes its civilized citizens or subjects of Nero descent from its body politic and cultural, it shall be the duty of the League of Nations to bring the matter to the attention of the civilized world.

Hudson and Raymond Shackleford were killed on the Valley Pike near Strasburg by Prohibition officers Harry F. Sweet, J. H. Sullivan, W. C. Hall, and W. M. Dulcaily. They had previously searched every automobile that passed in order to locate the car loaded with 239 quarts of liquor. When they finally located the car, because the occupants tried to get away, they opened fire and killed the two men. As the offuse of the men is only a misdemeanor under the Virginia statutes, they became liable to a charge of first degree murder. The people of Shenandoah county became highly indignant over the happening and a mob gathered at the preliminary hearing. The officers were gotten out of the county and when they had reached Fredericksburg, another warrant was issued for their arrest due to the death of another one of the men in the car. They were placed in jail at Fredericksburg. Excitement ran high and it was deemed advisable to send troops to guard them and so a detachment of Light Infantry Blues was ordered to Fredericksburg to accompany them to Woodstock, the scene of the preliminary hearing. After the hearing they were sent on to the grand jury without bail and the troops left with them for Fredericksburg, where they are now confined in jail and will remain so confined uness Judge Whiting, who is said to be studying the case, sees fit to bail them. Mayor William Hale Thompson was re-elected Mayor of Chicago last Tuesday by a plurality of 22,000 The city voted wet with a majority of the women supporting the liquor interests.

Hassell fell from a wagon enroute to United Baptist Church in Chesterfield County. He had a narrow escape from serious injury. John Plummer was badly injured by falling from a buggy. He is now under the care of Doctor A. A. Tennant at 1101 Denny Street. A council was called at the United Baptist Church, of Chesterfield County, Va., of which Rev. J. H. Brown is pastor. It was for the purpose of setting apart to the work of the Gospel ministry, Augustus Grumgoode, a licentiate of the said church. The following Churches responded: Mt. Nobo, Rev. A. H. Jackson, Deacon J. C. Epps; Mt. Calvary, Mickin's, John York, James Branch; Rising Mt. Zion, H. L. Hassell, R. W. Whiting; Bothlechem, Rev. A. T. Overby; First Union Stephen Shepperson, W. J. Pool. Officers elected as follows: Rev. A. H. Jackson chairman; R. W. Whiting; secretary; Rev. A. T. Overby, catechiser. Hymn, "Come Holy Spirit It Hewlett Dove; Prayer by Thomas M. Stokes. Rev. Overby delivered the ordination sermon in a very eloquent manner. Also four deacons were ordained, namely, Major Coleman, John Stephen, A. H. Madison and Hiram Woolridge. The pastor delivered the sermon to the deacons which was very timely. Rev. Jackson gave the charge. Rev. Mickins presented the Bible and prayer was offered by W. J. Pool. The candidate passed a very credible examination, which showed much study. Mrs. Mary E. Dixon of 1015 State Street has received two letters from her sons, who are with the American forces in foreign service. Sailor Walter A. Dixon writes from Venice Italy, that he is well and happy. Among other things he says: "I am glad to say I am where the chilly winds seldom blow. Venice is a very fine city and today is the third of March and you would think that it is July from the weather. The sun is shining beautifully and it is warm. I am in my shirt sleeves sitting under an electric fan writing this letter. Last week I went on a five days leave to Rome and enjoyed myself very much. I have seen sights that I studied about in High School and have walked through buildings that were built before Christ was born. I have seen and touched the bones of St. Mark. These sights can be seen in a museum for the price of six pence in English money." Private James E. Dixon writes his mother that he is expecting to sail soon and not to worry as he is just as fat as he can be. He concludes with these: Think of me in the morning, Think of me at night, Think of me all the time, And don't forget to write. In memory of my husband and father, Arthur E. Alston, who departed this life April 1, 1918: Deep in our hearts that ache with the repression And strives with penitude of bitter pain.

All hope “hat white pr neipals super visors and special teachers of co'ored schools of Richmond would be replac- ed by colored educators was effectual ly doomed last_n ght by unanimous action of the School Board at Its regu lar mee'Ing when the fo'lowing resolu ton was adopted: “Resolved, ‘That the board has heard wich interes the pet'Uon of the colored citizens for colored principals supervisors, spectal ‘teachers for color ed schools: ht at present time there are no Vacancies in these pos tions and the board is unwMing to remove the schools of a number of faithful princinals, supervisors and spectat teachers."" Ths resolution was a substitute for one offered earlier in the evening by Dr, Milter, Mr. Matthews present cd_the reselut on which was adopted. Tt was po'nted out In the discus-~ sion whch preceded the adontion of the reso'utton that the petition — of the colored people was not presented from en cde tiona’ bat a soe olog’eal point of view. Tt was recalled by one of the members of the board that the spokesmin for the colored — people strersed a elinse in their ye itn to the effest that 'f a Negro boy cannot nurse the hone of being principal of a Negro school, how ean he ever hope to be pr'nelpal of a wh'te schoo’? Tt was also mentioned that Pathor Chartes P. Tannigan of S$. Joseph's Catholic Church whose influence ts a recognized fetor among the color ed people of Richmond was quoted as alat'ng emphatically that he knew nothing of the agitation among the colored peopks for so radical a change as was being advocated by colored leaders. Dr. J. A. ©. Chandler was present at “he mocting of the board last n’ght and took a tead'ng par: in several d's cussions. Acting Suporintendent Hil was absent attending a conference of superintondents of city schools from all over Viren which was being held in Lynchburg. OF unusual significance in view of the far-reach ng effect not only on Rchool systoms in Virginiy but throughout she South, was the resoltt tion offered by Walker G.

Grandison ex-President of Bennett, Colleague) A genius, like a real orator or any great artist, is born and not made. The fact is, he is such a combination of faculties and adaptation as to preclude the possibility of being made. $H_0$ is the favored freak of Nature; not a monstrosity to excite disgust and aversion; but something out of and above the common wisdom of the ordinary masses. He is so far above the ordinary masses of phenomena, so unique in his adaptation and so effective in the direction of his aptitude, as to be a law unto himself. In saying a man of genius is not $H_0$ creation of the schools I do not mean that the schools cannot instruct and inform him, even along the line of his impulsion; but that all instruction and information communicated to him, instead of being assimilated, soilo speak, by the faculties of the mind in general, is chiefly absorbed by the faculty of special endowment. A gonus does things for which Nature has especially designed him with pleasurable ease, while others must toil and struggle, and then be rewarded by only mediocre success. Truths in the line of his adaptation [Name] DR. J. H. PINKARD. are perceived as by intuition, to realize which others must dig and delve and agonize in brain sweat. to the trainee who must to distance all competitors, and one they have reached the coveted goal he is there ahead and dreaming of future trimmings. Such I's the subject whom in this sketch I wish to introduce to the Negro reading public—Dr. John Henry Pinkard, of Roanoke, Virginia. From College nor High School does he bear a diploma; yet he has studied Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry, Practices, Botany, Materia Modica, etc. His Alma Maters, however, have been chiefly Floid and Forest. Ho is no conjurer or hoodoo man, Ho acorns to he mounted in connection with those who practice the black arts. He is a Real Medicine Man, manufacturing from roots, barks, leaves, buds, flowers and shrubs his own remedies in forms so potent and officious as to produce cures marvoulous and admonishing. Who and what is Dr. John Henry Pinkard, whence he is, and what has he done and is doing now to merit such high concomitum? A son of San and Sarah Pinkard, he was born in Franklin County, Virginia in 1863. So great were the poverty and invariations of the $f_0$ family, due to the improvisations of his father that at the tender age of 10, his own volition and against the protests of his mother, John became the main support $f$ the family. At fifteen he is found on the Norfolk and Western R. R., then in course of construction, as water boy. After a few months in that capacity having learned from the Walking Boss how to read on the stakes the figures indicating the required grades and one of the Irish bosses being called home, young John is given a dirt cut, and put in charge of a dirt cut, at $2.75 per minute. An uncle of his, quit and went home rather than work under his youthful nephew. By the time he is eightteen he has purchased for the family a farm of 33 acres, which they lost because of defect in the title. Instead of sapping his energies in pining over this reverse of fortune, he resolutely sets out to retrieve his fortune and win in the world. With scant elementary training others West Penn University, Pittsburgh, *a.* pursues a course in medicine. After practicing to $e_{10}$ years in that city, because his frail frame could not stand the strain of constant hard study and a large practice, with broken body and shattered nerves, he returns to his native heath, Franklin County, Va. to seek recuperation. Here he began in a small way to manufacture those Botanical Remedies that are making him famous and opulent. He also manufactures a very one perfume, making his own odor hases. At first he put his products on sale with white wholesale and retail druggist. Seven years ago, after suffering visuides that would have discouraged and utterly broken the spirit of a less determined man, he moved to his present site, and began to make, handle and prescribe his own remedies. His practice has had a most monomial growth and his success has been leans and bounds. Within the last seven years he has taken in more than two hundred thousand dollars, and now his own income is between one thousand and fifteen hundred dollars. It is no exaggeration to say that perhaps he has the largest practice and income of any individual general practitioner in the State of Virginia and I risk nothing, in saying that in all likelihood larger than that of any two Nogro physleasian in the United States. He numbers among his thousands of patients persons in all walks of life: They are non-totals of them are white. They are non-totals of them are all parts of the Virginia, and an all part of a part of the records for 1913 discloses the fact that he had patients from at least 12 different States and the District of Columbia.

From sojourn in the morning in the afternoon, the general and private reception rooms are filled with anxious patients, eager to have just a word with the doctor. From about half past eight in the morning until "dewey eve" he is on his feet, excepting for the short time he snatches for a hasty meal, and every day many are turned away; and yet the doctor does not advertise or ask for testimonial. How does he do it and what is the secret of his power? It is easy enough for the regular practitioner and the envious to cry, "Mountainbank," "humbug," "quack" and such like. And he a string of titles from enrolled universities learned Scientific Societies, his successes and hold upon the popular imagination might thereby be accounted for.

He has all the features of a lawyer, in the Army, in the Navy, with, however, a light in the eyes that bottened intelligence and a benevolent spirit. Such $ ^{a} $ is the description of Dr. Pinkard as to education and physical appearance. How then account for his wonderful skill in making and compounding medicines, successfully treating nearly all forms of diseases, and telling people their affaunt $ ^{a} $ and how long they have been affected by feeling the pain? There is but a hint of the pain: a genius of a very high order in the healing art. Another dash, and she would have produced a prodigy, like Blind Tom, the musician. Ever indulgent to those who woo her in the right way and in the proper spirit, she has yielded up to him her secrets of officious combinations and to the chagrin of less favored, jealous and cavious members of the profession, the doctor will not reveal the secrets. Doctor Pinkard is intensely religious, a local deacon in the A. M. E. Church. He strictly observes the Christian Sabbath, soeing no patients has family worship and regards all that he is in ability to make and compound medicines and to treat successfully almost all sorts of diseases, a special gift from the Almighty. He still holds his membership in the little church in the little town of Rocky Mount, Franklin County, his home town and where his venerable mother resides, is a trustee of the same and a liberal contributor to all its enterprises. He is exceedingly hospitable, a generous host, courteous and gentile. It would seem that Nature and Providence have conspired to make of Dr. Pinkard either one of the greatest fakirs of the race or one of the most remarkable men of our times—and he is no fakir.
