Many Great Dailies Change Policy in Dealing With Colored People.
Chicago, III. April Scores and scores of the great daily newspapers of the country have turned "right about face" it appears, from the matter in which they are treating matters affecting colored people, both in news and editorial comment.
It is a well known fact that the majority of the leading papers capitalize "Negro" when they are using the term, and also, "Colored" when it is referring to our people. They have, also practically, discontinued the use of dialect in quoting Negroes, and have given more space in telling of the better side of the people in the last year than was ever before used. This change of policy has not come about by more happen so, but has been the result of a continued war against discrimination and injustice by the Race press, organizations and leading individuals.
There are a number of newspapers such as the Boston Transcript, the New York Evening Post, Springfield (Mass) Republican and a few others that have always been known to deal fairly and squarely with all subjects affecting the Negro. Some were enlisted to call them fanatical but the present condition of affairs merely proves that they were exending nothing more than simple American justice.
The manner in which the newspapers of all sections of the country have dealt with the news and encountered the welcoming of the returned colored soldiers from France has become one of the bright spots in American history.
The present condition of "social misrest" throughout the world has brought clearer and more fortely to the attention to the thoughtful Americans, that the most dependable and most loyal group of Americans is those of darker hue.
This changed policy is having a wonderful effect on the respective communities and the thoughts of the country at large according to the best information that can be obtained by a careful investigation of the Associated Negro Press. It seems to be the beginning of a new era in the life of the Race and of the nation.
Governor and Mayor Review Colored

The paradox has produced a grim joke, and the colored people of the city are using the incident with telling office. The review of the great parade was attended by the largest crowds ever seen in the city of Baltimore.
Negro Migration Causes Problem in Many Northern Cities.
(By the Associated Newspaper)
Boston, Mass., April. Alfred W. Anthony, D. D., white Secretary of the National Home Missions Council in an address before a great throng here at a meeting of the InterChurch World Movement declared: "The war ended the migration of 500,000 Negroes from the South to the North. The return of the troops is throwing a great many of these men out of jobs. It is a double problem. It has created a cemetery of labor in the South and in surplus of labor in some places in the North. There is an appalling situation in some of our cities Negroes there are Bates in mountain dations not fit for swine. They are churned twenty dollars a month for a city in which to house them. More than that, they are wretched by their own race. The Negro from the South is a court rymen. The Northern Negro is an arrogant who looks down upon his son heen brather. This problem is especially acute in Detroit, Baltimore, New York and other cities.

Bishop Demby Sees the End of Race
Prejudice in a Few Years.
(By the Associated Negro Prose.)
Philadelphia, Pa. April—Bishop E. D. Demby the only Negro bishop in the Episcopal church in this country in a statement issued here, said in part: "There is a tendency as never before to wipe out Race prejudice; and things like Jim Crow cars and schools, will go in a few years." Asked what is responsible for the change, he said: "Chiefly the cheerful spirit with which our colored youths marched away to war, and the wonderful record they made for themselves while over there."

Conference of War Work Council Against Hand Picked Leaders.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Atalanta, Ga., April—What is regarded as one of the most significant gatherings ever held in this country took place in this city under the direction of the National War Work Council for the promotion of re-construction work among colored people. More than one hundred picked delegates, representing the highest and most thoughtful type of Negro man hood and womanhood, attended, as well as a number of white social workers. Representatives were present from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, North and South Carolina. Every person present had a vision and let it be understood that their object was to work without ceasing for equality of opportunity in the fullest sense of the word.
A summary of the program outlined to be carried out in every state of the South is: the removal of Jim Crowism, equal travel accommodations on public carriers, accommodations at public places, registering and qualifying colored men and returned soldiers to vote. The slogan for the work adopted was "Push the Program."
The subject of "Negro Leaders was given an airing, it being declared that no "hand picked leaders" would be recognized, that the people them selves must name their leaders and at no event should they be known as "community workers." It was stated that too often so called "Race leaders" are the mere tools of white men neither of whom have any real regard for the welfare of the Race.

Many Great Dailies Change Policy in Dealing With Colored People,
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, Ill. April—Scores and scores of the great daily newspapers of the country have turned "right about face" it appears, from, the manner it which they are treating news affecting colored people, both in news and editorial comment.
It is a well known fact that the majority of the leading papers capitalize "Negro" when they are using the term, and also, "Colored" when it is referring to our people. They have, also practically discontinued the use of dialect in quoting Negroes, and have given more space in telling of the better side of the people in the last year than was ever before used. This change of policy has not come about by mere happen so, but has been the result of a continued war face against disorientation and in justice by the Race press, organizations and leading individuals.
There are a number of newspapers such as the Boston Transcript, the New York Evening Post, Springfield, (Mass) Republican and a few others that have always been known to deal fairly and squarely with all subjects affecting the Negro. Some were inclined to call them fanatical but the present condition of affairs merely proves that they were extending not ing more than simple American justice.
The manner in which the newspapers of all sections of the country have dealt with the news and encouraged the welcoming of the return ed colored soldiers from France has become one of the bright spots in American history.
The present condition of "social unrest" throughout the world has brought clearer and more forcibly to the attention to 'the thoughtful Americans, that the most dependable and most loyal group of Americans is those of darker hue.
This changed policy is having a wonderful effect on the respective communities and the thoughts of the country at large according to the best information that can be obtained by a careful investigation of the Associated Negro Press. It seems to be the beginning of a new era in the life of the Race and of the nation.
Governor and Mayor Review Colored Troops As Jim-crowers Schemed.
Baltimore, Md. April—While the Governor of Maryland, the Mayor of Baltimore and other public officials were reviewing the fighting - Negro troops returned from France presenting them with official certificates of honor and singing their praises, another group of Baltimoreians, white were cunning and scheming to find a way to keep the Negroes of the city from buying decent property to live in after the soldiers mentioned above had fought to make the world a decent place to live in.
The paradox has produced a grim joke, and the colored people of the city are using the incident with telling effect. The review of the great parade was attended by the largest crowds ever seen in the city of Balti more.
Negro Migration Causes Problem in Many Northern Cities.
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Boston, Mass., April.-Alfred W. Anthony, D. D., white, Secretary of the National Home Missions Council in an address before a great throng here at a meeting of the Inter-Church World Movement declared: "The war caused the migration of 500,000 Negroes from the South to the North. The return of the troops is throwing a great many of these men out of jobs. It is a double problem. It has created a scarcity of labor in the South and a surplus of labor in some places in the North. There is an apaling situation in some of our cities Negroes there are living in accommodations not fit for swine. They are charged twenty dollars a month for a sty in which to house themselves. More than that, they are ostracized by their own race. The Negro from the South is a countryman. The Northern Negro is an aristocrat who looks down upon his southern brother. This problem is especially acute in Detroit, Baltimore, New York and other cities.

Big Philadelphia Mass Meeting Says
Negro Must Get Justice or Else,
(ty the Associated Nevro Pres.)
Philadelphia, Pa. April.—At a re-
markable mass community meeting
here in honor of the returned Negro
soldiers held at the Varick Memorial
African Methodist Episcopal chureh,
tho point was driven home so that it
shook the old “Liberty Bell” in Inde-
pendence Hall, that since the Negro
has shown his fighting strength in
‘the World War, he is going to seo
that he gels the justice due him tn
this country,” or report, to God the
reason why,” as one spéaker put tt.
“There can be no more glorious death
than to die for the sacred cause of
freedom.” said he. “We died in
Franco that others might live and by
‘the grace of God, if it must bo, wo
Will die in America. Justice we ‘must
have it now.”
‘The meeting which was one of the
Jargest ever held in tho city, was
preceded by a gigantic parade. Attor
ney G. Kdward Diekerson presided at
the meeting which was attended by
groups from every Negro church In
the city. Rey. W. A. Harrod, of
Cehrry Memorial Baptist church ‘said
“IL is time the Negroes were organiz
ed and respected. Back up your con
vietions with your money and we will
Ket_ somewhere.”
‘There ae a number of white speak
ers who made addresses endorsing
the sentiments of the meeting. Fach
address provoked more and more ex
eitoment and it is regarded by all pres
ent as one of the most remarkable
gathorings ever held in the eity, and
is hound to have an cleetrifying ef
fort throughout the country when the
facts are known.
‘The speceh that eaused the wildest
enthusiasm was that of Rev. 1. iP.
Butler, pastor of Zoar Methodist Epis
copal church. He opened by. referr
ing to the unselfish and ands herole
duct of the colored soldiers in the
American army, and insisting — that
they receive the (vibute they so hon
estly merit, He spoke of the wonder
Tul efficiency and clear headedness of
the infantry and artillery regiments
stating that they had not heen guilty
‘of any serious mistakes.
Dr. Butler further said there
were no mistakes among the Negro
artillery. ‘They never fireddown into
their own infantry nor to their rear
but always into the the enemy's line,
and always hit the Huns,
“And now," he continued, “we ave
at the dawn of another day.. ‘The
war is over. We have beat the Hun.
Wo have come home and we have
come home to stay. Don't think we
are going back to Africa or any oth-
place, ‘This is our land, beeanse we
have fought for it, spilled our blood
for it and given our ilves for it, We
have made the world safe for demo-
eracy. We have ‘cleaned up" over
there and now we are going to clean
up home.”
“The while soldiers tried (0 take
‘snake Hill in Franco for eight
months and failed. ‘They finally sent
a Negro regiment and they took it in
eight hours. If we are good enough
to take ‘Snake Hill,’ we are good
enough to have eattal rights in this
country.
“Old Glory.” shouted Dr. Butler in
conclusion,” 1 have something to ask
for all this service, We Negroes are
red, because of the blood we have
shed; lie, because we have been
loyal; and’ white heeanse we have
been pure, I would, therefore have
civil rights in all the states; have
the “Jim Crow” cars wiped “out of
the south and have Justice, social, in
dustrial and economic meted ont to
us. “Old Glory” you must not fail us
and I know you will not.”
With this meeting, Justice has had
& new birth of freedom in the very
“Cradle of Liberty” and it is believed
that the entire country will be influ
enced by the clectrifying effect.
Whites Organize to Keep Negroes Out
and Negroes Organize to Get In.
Thar Can anectatend Maeva: Dem’,
Baltimore, Ma.—A so-called “Block
Union” has been formed in Baltimore
for the purpose of enforcing plans
for keeping Negroes out of certain

Negroes nave been able to secure plac,

OUR COLORED POPULATION.
Much has been said about bettering
the living conditions of our colored
population but so far, nothing — has
heen done for their relief. It may be
that something along this line might
have been accomplished but ror the
war but the fact remains that a large
part of our population is living under
conditions that are a constant men

to the employers of labor and reflect
seriously upon the good name of om

We all hope to get to Heaven, but many of us will never reach there
We are all in the hands of a good God and a bad Devil. Don't forget that.
It is all very well to complain, when you have something about which to complain.
Some people are happiest when they know that they are making other people uncomfortable.
To give first class service is to expect first class compensation for such service.
Some people are disposed to criticise advice to colored people to be polite to white people and to colored ones. This criticism is well meant, but we can see no justification for it. If the entire world in general and this country in particular would follow this advice, a condition well akin to the millennium would be $ \mathbf{b}_{0} $ the result. Colored folks, be polite and obliging. It is an asset that will always pay a large dividend. Don't forget that.

There is a most embarrassing sequel to the imposture of the alleged Henry Johnson, a cripple of Mobile, Alabama, who claimed to be the real Henry Johnson, who as a member of the celebrated Fifteenth New York Infantry, colored troops, won fame in the battlefields of France.
He appeared in St. Louis, Missouri and at a great meeting held at the Coliseum in that city was denounced as a fakir and a fraud, to a mammoth crowd of disgusted people. As a result of this, the St. Louis Clarion attacked in its columns Rev. B. G. Shaw, the promoter, charging him with being "a fake aeroplane ascension, garden of eden auto gambling swindler" and also with being "the Hun of Christianity."
As a result of this vitriolic attack, Rev. B. G. Shaw, by counsel has instituted suit in the Circuit Court of St. Louis, Missouri for ten thousand dollars actual damages and ten thousand dollars additional punitive damages against C. K. Robinson, his wife Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson and Marion S. Henderson, co-partners.
The St. Louis Clarion publishes an affidavit signed by the bogus Henry Johnson alleging that Rev. B. G. Shaw was aware of the fact that he was a fraud and that he knowingly connived at the deception practiced upon the people of St. Louis, Missouri. Editor Robinson seems to be sure of his ground and disregards the usual precautionary measure in such instances by proceeding to emphasize his opinion of Rev. B. G. Shaw.
The elder is now pastor of the
Mortonolitan A. M. E. Zion Church,
of St. Louis and he takes this means
of clearing his skirts, so to speak, of
this unsavory happening in the city
of St. Louis, Missouri.
A MISCHIEVOUS REPORT.
The Indianapolis, Ind., Freeman published the following report from this city. It reads as follows:
Richmond, Va., March 19.—The first overseas soldiers to parade through the streets of the city were about the men of the 15th New York and 8th Illinois on Saturday. These men were treated shamefully by the white people. Our correspondent writes as follows: "The reception tendered the heroes was frigid. Even the heavens seemed to weep—for it
were not even allowed to use the armory and were compelled to eat in the rain and mud in the back yard of the Army and Navy club. The mayor who was supposed to welcome them could not be found neither was the governor seen as the troops marched by the capitol in the square. It was a thrilling sight to see those boys past with brave, serious faces, topped by the sombre steel helmets and packs on their backs. This is the worst story we have read. In Even in South Carolina the ra turning colored troops are honored. Richmond must hide its face in shame at the treatment accorded those vet crusis.
We hardly think this is fair to the white people of this community in general or to the officials cited in particular. The arrangements made for the staging of this parade were about as poor as they could be. The Camp Lee officials set certain rules and regulations, requiring the people of this community to pay not only the railroad fare of the over-seas colored troops, but also for their entrainment while here. This necessitated a personal canvass by the Army and Navy Club officials and in this they were assisted by white people of this community, who contributed money to assist in entertaining the battle-scarred veterans.
The Chief Marshal did not know himself the exact time of their arrival and when they did come, it was about two hours after the time set for their arrival. Even this time was changed. The Mayor of this city Hon. George Ainslie, who was to review them was not in his office when they passed there for the reason that it was after office hours and we doubt if any one had notified him of the delay in the arrangements. It seems absurd then to blame either the Mayor or Governor Davis for there was no provision in the programme for a review by the Governor.
Richmond has been the most liberal city in the United States in recognizing the valor of the colored veterans. Colored men wounded in France have been received in aristocratic Westhampton with no sign of racial discrimination and have been placed in the wards with their white comrades.
Racial discriminations at Camp Upton, N. Y., have not been duplicated in Richmond. While we have had our handicaps here, still when the white people of this community recognize us and record to us descent treatment it is certainly not to our interest to send out reports of this character which misrepresent the fact's and which tend to injure the better class of white people here in the good opinion of the outside world.
PRESIDENT KIRBY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
A most interesting telegraphic dispatch comes by way of New Orleans, La., and President John H. Kirby of Houston, Texas who is the representative of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association is responsible for some very plain talking. The dispatch in question is as follows:
New Orleans, April 2.—"The Department of Labor at Washington is sending black and white emissaries to organize the labor of the South, and these men are carpentaggers, in a sense, just as were those who came South after the war to attempt to place the Negro above the white man," John H. Kirby, of Houston, Texas, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, told a mass meeting of Southern pine lumber manufacturers here today.
Just how the action of Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, who is a member of President Wilson's cabinet and a member of the official family of the recognized head of the Democratic Party, can be chargeable with placing the Negro over the white man in Texas simply because he wishes to investigate and better the latter's industrial condition in the same way that he is trying to better the industrial condition of the white laboring man, is a most amusing and enlightening question.
Mr Kirby goes further in his attack upon President Wilson's labor department. He is quoted further:
Mr. Kirby said the labor situation, as developed under "centralized powers," assumed by the Labor Department, is a violation of the rights of States to handlo matters at issue between employers and employers.
And again:
We have had at Washington for several years a President and administration, Democratic in name at least," he said, "and yet steadily we have seen our rights as States clipped away and assumed by Federal powers. These envoyes of the Department of Labor have no more right to enter your plants than have the worst strangers, for the tenth amendment to the Constitution is specific and is in full force today, as when it was passed to reinforce clarity of the original document."
This moans, we presume, that the time will yet come when Federal agents with commissions issued by a Democratic President of the United States will find themselves being driven from logging camps and plantations by wrathy southerners with shot-guns in their hands.
We are much pleased to know that
THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
President Kirby has been reading the Constitution of the United States. He has gotten down to the Tenth Amendment, evidently without digesting the first part of the Declaration of Independence, which reads:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
And again:
Mr. Kirby said that when he was asked by the Department of Labor to advise with their representatives relative to conditions in his section, he expressed his willingness to advise with the white agents of the department. "But," he said, "when it became a question of going into conference with the black official handling the colored economies I declined. In the South we tell Negroes what to do; we do not take counsel with them," he declared.
Evidently, this fiery Texan has come in official contact with Dr. George E. Haynes, a southerner, who knows how to deal diplomatically with the southern white man. But with all of his diplomacy, he was not "suited to the taste" of President John H. Kirby, of Houston, Texas. This new diplomacy, this securing the confidence of the colored people of the southland by means of conferences with race leaders has led to untold good in dealing with many of the embarrassing questions in this part of the country
It is this undiplomatic manner of telling the Negro what to do that has caused so much misunderstanding in one of the most prosperous sections on the face of the globe. What is needed, is the friendly co-operation of this class of people, not this sullen obedience that tends to breed trouble and leads to all kinds of industrial and political coalitions against the better class of white people of the southland.
But the "eat in the meal-tub," "the bug under the chip" is shown in the concluding part of Mr. Kirby's remarks. He is quoted as follows:
The Southern pine lumber manufacturers declined a proposal of the industrial board of the United States Department of Commerce that they enter into a joint price agreement as a means for stabilizing market conditions. Such action, it was declared, would be contrary to the best interests of the public and of the industry from both a legal and economic point of view, violativo of State and Federal antitrust statutes and likely to subject those involved to prosecution."
He appears to be opposed to anything that will tend to lessen the price of the commodity in which he is dealing. He sees in this combination of white labor and black labor, the opening of the eyes of the laboring white men and the laboring black men to the fact that their interests are identical, will give them "a whip handle" so to be in making a wage scale and with this will come from the industrial commission a price fixing scale, between which two extremes, the profits of the lumber dealers will be curtailed.
This attack upon the Negro and Secretary Wilson and Dr. George E. Haynes is only a means of beclouding the situation, of muddying the water, while the lumber interests continue to do business at the same old stand, making millions and causing the people of the country to pay for the same. Being a southerner, we know how to take these statements at their true value.
Luckily or unluckily, he must vent his rage upon the head of the nation that he no doubt assisted in electing to office. Certainly the colored people can afford to regard with equanimity all that he has been unkind enough to say. It is a fight of a Democrat against Democrats. If any one on either side happens to be put out of business, there will be one less Democrat to carry on the battle a few years hence. Certain it is that the Negro question is no longer confined to any one party, when a Democratic Secretary of Labor and a Democratic President of the United States are favorable to fundamental rights of the black man and a wayward member of the party in Texas is opposed to those rights.
God is working for Israel and we are sacrilegious enough to believe that the Negroes of this country as a race occupy the position of that truly persecuted people, who are now about to witness the restoration of the Holy Land.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
Another New Court Organized.
Scottsburg, Va. April 8, 1919
Grand Worthy Counselor John Mitchell, Jr., arrived here this morning shortly after 11 o'clock to set up a club at Pincy Grove Baptist church. He was met by Sir George W. Bailley who was instrumental in bringing the people together and a Ford car was seured to carry him about three miles from the station. It was some time before the people gathered but a good crowd assembled and the many vehicles about the church gave the appearance of a country camp meeting. District Deputy Fannie L. Coleman and Past Worthy Counselor Lucarella Crawley came from South Boston, while District Deputy J. H. Martin and Past Worthy Counselor Mary L Martin came over from Houston.
A fine body of ladies were there to join alter Sir Mitchell had delivered an address of nearly an hour. The people here were delighted to hear him explain about the Order and to listen to his thrilling address on the war. He then proceeded to initiate the candidates in the church. The following officers were installed by him: Worthy Counselor Mrs. Elizabeth L. Fleming; Worthy Inspector Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Plenty; Worthy Inspectrix Mrs. E. P. Bailey; Orator Mrs. Fannie Buster; Register of Deeds Mrs. Emma R. Carrington; Register of Accounts Mrs. Lola Fleming; Receiver of Deposits, Mrs. DeHah Buster; Senior Directress Mrs. Patsey Buster; Junior Directress Mrs. Bertie Henry; Conductress Mrs. Henrietta Pincham; Assistant Conductress Mrs. Bettie Burns; Escort Mrs. Gertrude Sjims; Herald Mrs. Sallie H. Boldian; Protector Sir James Edward Coleman; Trustees A. L. Pincham; Mrs. Susie A. Polindexter; Mrs. Sallie Coleman.
A boutique repast was spread for the visitors and candidates, Sir Mitchmond boarded the 6:35 train for Richmond expressing himself as being greatly pleased with his entertainment here. The other visitors present were Mrs. Amelia Clark; Mrs. Josephine Taylor; Mrs. Mary Howerton; Mrs. Elizabeth Coloman and Mrs. Maria Palmer.
MRS. TERRELL HONORED
Mrs. Mary Church Torrell, who served as a member of the Board of Education of Washington for eleven years has gone to Borne, Switzerland as a delegate to the International Congress of Women which will convene there May 5. Mrs. Terrell left Washington Friday night last for New York accompanied by her daugh tors, Miss Mary Torrell and Mrs. Phyllis Golnes, Lleout. William C. Golnes who will remain with her in New York until she sails on Wednesday, April 9.
Mrs. Torrell is the only colored woman of the forty delegates selected to represent this country at the Congress. The State Department would only grant passports to twelve of them however. Mrs. Post, the wife of Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis Post, Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and ex-Congressman Jeannette Rankin will also
It will be recalled that Mrs. Terrell attended the Congress when it was held in Berlin fifteen years ago and she delivered her address in German.
THE MINISTERS CONFERENCE
The President of the Conference reported unusual success in his revival meetings which lasted seven weeks. Rev. Kent of this city assisted him. More than 100 souls are rejoicing and over $1500 raised. Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, Rev. R. J. Bass, pastor, conducted a meeting that exceeded all others during the history of this church. Rev. K. D. Turner assisted the pastor. The Sharon Baptist Church reported excellent progress. Dr. A. S. Thomas is without doubt one of our most successful pastors. Trinity Baptist Church is moving on nicely even though Pastor Carrington is not and probably will never be actively engaged in her work any more, because of his health. Pastor King of the Fifth Street Baptist Church is out of the city assisting in a meeting but will be back to his valuet this week.
Dr. William H. Stokes led over the top in his Church, Ebenezer, last Sunday when his people laid on the table over $3300.00. This is the largest collection that has ever been raised in a rally at one time by any colored Church in Richmond. Dr. Stokes has the belt in our city for raising money. They say in the next sixty days they will wipe out the entire debt of $6,000.
Ebenezer has enrolled a new membership of more than 120 souls since the conversion of the Hon. Giles B. Jackson and Mr. Henry Moore, our well known contractor a spiritual tidal wave has been sweeping over the Church. The officers have been ordered to purchase 100 extra chairs to accommodate the people.
Rev. S. P. Robinson is being installed at the Thirty-first Street Baptist Church this week. Rev. M. H. Payne is adding more than 15 feet to his church building. The Mt. Horman Baptist Church, Rev. S. N. Gunn, pastor was recognized by a council this week and given the hand of fellowship. The Baptist Churches among us number more than thirty with a membership of more than 25,000. Dr. S. A. Moses, of Danville, Va. is in town assisting Dr. Garland of South Richmond.

FLORENCE LETTER.
(E. B. Webster)
FLORENCE, S. C., April 10—The Rev. E. R. Roberts, for many years General Missionary for South Carolina, representing the American Baptist Public Society, of Philadelphia, Pa. has been elected President of Voorhees Industrial Institute, located at Danmark, S.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER
An entertainment and banquet in honor of Rev. and Mrs. G. C. Taylor, of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church was given Monday night at above named place and to say it was a success is putting it mildly. Dr. Taylor has served the people of Mt. Zion for five years and according to the laws of that Church he cannot return as their pastor next year and for that reason, the members and friends of Mt. Zion gave a banquet in his honor and to the visiting ministers in the city on their way to Conference. in Portsmouth, Va.
First there was a program rendered in the main auditorium at $3.30 P. M.: Opening song by the choir; invocation, Rev. W. W. Hicks, D. D., of Mt. Zion Baptist; address, Mr. J. H. Hale, representing Mt. Lebanon; "Come Smiling Spring, mixed quartette; address, Lawyer J. L. Reid, representing the Business League; address, Rev. J. R. Lauderback, for the pastor of the city; vocal solo, Miss Lyste Preston; address, J. H. Jones, for the West End Mission Who Knows What the Bolls Say?" mixed quartette; address Major W. B. F. Crawell, vocal solo; Mr. A. P. Holland; address, Mr. T. Traynham, for Mt. Zion A. T. M. E. Church; remarks by the Rev. Dr Taylor and his wife.
Dr. Taylor was presented with a malt of clothes and Mrs. Taylor, a silver bread tray, umbrella and several other useful presents. 'The people of the city as well as members of Mt. Zion were out in large numbers to bid goodbye to Dr. Taylor and wife. They have made good in Roanoke and all regret that they must go.'
After the program Mr. W. A. Rold the chairman of the meeting invited all to town in the lecture room where the speaker was spread and it really was so humble and the service was A1. The young values of the Church made good as waitresses and served to the satisfaction of all an excellent menu and there was enough and plenty for all. This banquet was free to all and proved the greatest affair of its kind given in Roanoke for years.
That Dr. Taylor and his good wife were loved by all Roanoke there is no doubt for they have made good and the Church and all its friends are proud of it. It is hard to give him up but there is still a hope as Dr. Taylor owns a home in the city and stands high in the Virginia Conference. There still may be a way that he can return and he says he means to make Roanoke his home and go to Heaven from this city and we think its as good a starting point as any we know. M. Zion Church has set the pace, who will try to follow?
Among those leaving Monday night for Portsmouth with Dr. Taylor and wife in a special car were C. Howard T. T. Traynham, Dr. J. H. Pinkard and mother and all the A. M. E. ministers west of Roanoke who are members of the Virginia Conference.
It is reported that the wedding bells are back on their job and a well know $ ^{n} $ widow is taking another voyage on this sea of happiness and bliss. Will tell you all about it next week. They are in Columbus, Ohio now. Guess who it is? I didn't give she lived on Sixth Avenue, N. W. but you have the right to think that if you wish. I can hear you thinking Believe me, she had some swell trousseau, is that what you call a bride's outfit? Well, if it is, she really had one. Well, many happies to you, is Little Willie's wish.
Proper Tate has fully recovered from his fall of a few weeks ago. You didn't know he had a full? Yes from the front seat of a certain wagon but he is O. K. again and now writing a poem on a "Sigh."
The Hogs are getting ready to pull a big Easter feed in honor of Private William Preston, an old Hog who has returned from No Man's Land.
Sergeant Kinsay of the 25th Infantry, U. S. A. who was visitor here, his old home town some months ago is home again on a thirty days' leave, given him on account of his reconstitution for three years more with his Uncle Sam. We are glad to have you, old boy, look well, and you have made good with your outfit as your stripes show.
A tip to business man: Early to bed, early to rise, work like H—and advertise. Read and pay for The Planet.
Yours,
LITTLE WILLIE.

FARMVILLE, VA., April 7. — Anyone one passing th$_{e}$ in confectionery on Tuesday evening, April 1 would have seen a sight to please the most critical aesthetic taste. The occasion was the opening of this confectionery where members of the Negro race may be served ice creams, sodas, etc. listen to beautiful records played by themselves and enjoy themselves in the same manner as members of any other race. Owing to the delay in transportation the stock is by no means complete but it will be in a very few days. In one window was the most unique and beautiful selection of war trophies to be seen anywhere. The firm obtained this selection through the kindness of Serguei Walker and Private Nelson Jordan. In the other window were a thousand kisses, a thousand flowers, a thousand sido is, if possible, even more beautiful. The decorations consisted of cut flowers, valens and fern and flags.
The reception committee was composed of four ladies gowned in white. These ladies and the members of the firm extended every one a most coral welcome. A. W. Lancaster, president; E. S. Clark, vice-president; J. C. Glaze, secretary and treasurer; A. W. Mosely, business manager.
The closing exercises of the Mt. Moriah Public School took place on March 28, in the Mt. Moriah Church at 2:30 P. M. A most excellent program was rendered consisting of songs, solos, dialogues, recitations and drills. Mrs. Arthur Payton and Miss Theresa Anderson favored us with beautiful recitations. Instrumental soles were rendered by Miss Clara Madden and Miss Nina Dean of Washington. The program ended by singing the farewell song by school. All were then invited to the school house to witness a spolling contest. Lena Davis of the sixth grade was given a gold ring as a prize, being the best spoller. Miss Alberta Rolling is the teacher.
The Bright Light Cafe next door to C. M. Walker's Hardware Store, opened business Saturday, March 29 with large attraction. They are prepared to serve you and will assure you of first class service of leo cream, soft drinks of all kinds, fruits and fancy groceries. Beautiful music furnished. Calls and see us. Best. A. Quarles, proprietors.
Jackson's Barber Shop recently opened next door to C. W. Walker (upstairs) Naïn Street, is one of the best. Here you will get first class service and courtesy extended to all customers. All are invited to give him a trial. W. V. Jackson, proprietor.
SUNDAY WITH THE CHURCHES.
All clocks were advanced one hour and the congregations were aware of the fact. The day was lovely and all Churches were well attended.
Rev. Wiley of the First Baptist eloquently discoursed from Daniel 3:17, theme, "God Our Deliverer." The B. Y. P. U. had a very interesting meeting at 3:30. Let us not forget that the Bible class is held each afternoon from 4:20 to 5:30. Dr. Mixs is a splendid educator. Rev. Wiley preached a short\but timely and practical sermon. The young men under the leadership of Mr. L. C. Bland entertained us with a very pretty "Fatal Wedding" at the First Baptist Church on last Thursday evening. Messrs. Eddie Williams, Joseph Scott, Robert Taylor, William Bartlett, Lennice Bland and Pernel Watkins impor- sonated the ladies in this event and certain girls in the womens ward, young girls, displaying the youth the season, even the French heel shoe and hobble skirt.
As the couples came in the following order shouts of laughter went up from the awaiting audience: William Bartlett and Taylor Reed, groomman; Joseph Scott and Alonzo Brown groomman; Robert Taylor and Henry Anderson; groomman; Lennel Bland and Joseph Foster, groomman Then came Eddie Williams, the maid of honor, followed by little Buster the flower girl. The bride, Pernel Walkins came leaning on the arm of her father, Dennis White. They were met at the altar by the groom, Richard Hilton and Bertie Scott, the best man. The elimax came when the deserted wife John Brown, interrupted and produced a tangible evidence of the groom's attempt at being a bigamist. Richard Young, the parson decided in favor of the deserted wife and the would-be bride
This affair was given to assist the Sunday School in raising her quota for the Easter Rally and was indeed a telling success.
Mrs. Nannie Vaughan is home again, after several months stay with relatives in New York City.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Miles of Fourth Street are the parents of a fine baby boy. Mother and baby are doing well.
News of the death of Mr. Manuel B. Watkins was certainly shocking to his many friends in Farmville.
Mr. Watkins was a young soldier recently discharged. After a brief illness of Pneumonia he died in Danville, which place had been his home for many years. His body was brought here Sunday night, accompanied by his sister. The funeral services were held at his home in Buckingham County.
Miss is in the city visiting Mrs. Nanie Harvey of Grove Street.

It don't cost much as it is already prepared. Take daily doses as indicated on prescription label. It does. It has helped hundreds of cases, especially the old stubborn kind.
One of our downtown druggists tells us that this prescription keeps down and expols wrile acid from the blood, at the same time purifying and enriching the blood so that pure, rich blood is sent direct to the joints and skin surface. Those terrible loses occur when swelling, muscles, aching back and overy form of rheumatism can be easily controlled by following the simple directions that go with this famous Prescription C-2223.
A physician's large bottle sent to any one prepaid for 60 cents. Address C-2223 Laboratories, Dept. D, Memphis, Tennessee.
Beware of little expense looks. Small holes often sink the ship. Stop little wastes by buying Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps.
