RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library CHARGE SOUTHERN ANTI-NEGR PROFAGANDA IN RIOTS. Statement by James Welden Johnson Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There has been for a number of years a well directed propaganda, issuing principally from the South, which has had as its purpose plaging the brand of rapist on the Negro race. This propaganda has been partly successful in establishing in the public mind the idea that there is the direct relation of cause and effect between rape and mob violence against the Negro. Whenever the Negro protests against lynching, nearly all southern newspapers and a great many north ern newspapers call upon him to deprecate the crime which leads to lynching. The authentic statistics on lynching prove the falsehood on which this propaganda is based. In the twenty years down to 1903 there were 1,955 Negroes lynched in the Southern States. Of that number rape was assigned as the cause in only 675 cases. In 1,339 cases other causes were assigned. In the past thirty years fifty Negro women have been lynched. In the past twelve months five Negro women have been lynched. In the five-year period, 19141918, 264 Negroes were lynched in the United States exclusive of those killed at East St. Louis and out of this number rape was assigned as the cause in only 25 cases. Contrast these records, bad as they may appear, with the records for New York. County which is only a part of New York City and we find that in this one county in the single year of 1917, 230 persons were indicted for rape by the Grand Jury. Of this number 37 were indicted for rape in the first degree. That is, in just part of New York City degree was nine more than the total number of persons indicted for rape in the first charge of rape in the entire United States during the period of 1914-1918. Among these 37 persons indicted by the New York County Grand Jury there was not a single Negro. The evidence required by the Grand Jury of New York County to indict a person charged with rape must be more conclusive than the evidence required by a mob to lynch a Negro accused of rape. When the Congressional Committee on Immigration in 1911 made its study of crime in the United States an investigation, was made of 2,262 cases in the New York Court of General Sessions and in that investigation it was found that the percentage for the crime of rape was lower for the Negro than for either the foreign born or native born whites. The act of figures were, for foreign born whites 1.8; for native born whites 2.1; and for Negroes 5. The echoes from the Washington riots are a present illustration of how this propaganda against the Negro works. The newspapers have been filled with attacks on white women as an excuse for the riots and those attacks on white women are now being used by southern papers as an excuse and justification for the first acts of the white mob. A retired Judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina, writing on the Washington riots in the Wilmington Dispatch, speaks of Negroes seizing automobiles and riding and snorting through the streets of Washington while the raping "went merrily on." What are the facts? According to the data of Major Pulman, Chief of Police of Washington, there took place in the District of Columbia between June 25, 1919 and the outbreak of the riot one case of rape and three cases of attempted rape. The first case of attempt was on a colored school teacher. In three of these cases the suspect was one man and he was in jail when the riots broke out. No publicity was given to the fact that five weeks before the riots, two white men, a motor man and a conductor on a street car attempted rape upon two colored girls who were the only passengers in the car when it reached the end of the line. These two men are now under heavy bail. I request that there is a direct plan of prostrations on the part of the South to brand the Negro with being a rapist in order that he may be robbed of all sympathy and publie interest when he is lynched and molbed. The truth is, the Negro is not more addicted, and is perhaps less addicted to rape than any other group in the country. MARRIAGE RECEPTION Mr. and Mrs. Thos. W.

TIME IS FLEETING--KEEP POSTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS Bringing the Stanley from Daville, A Rough Road—Echoes of the Lamenburg Case—Near the Scene of a Murder. I had left my ear, the Stanley steamer in Daville in George W. Kison's back lot to remain until the rain was over and I had brought Robin on Davis, the chauffeur or more properly called the "engineer" and Harry Hulbard, the "fireman" to Rockmond at a cost of $13.68 for the three of us and so on Friday morning August 1st des, the fact that another down pour of rain had set in I took the 7:30 Southern train to return to Daville to bring the steamer back to Richmond under its own power. BRIDGE WASHED AWAY. When I reached Drakes Branch, I heard the lady operator there say that the bridge had been washed away at Sutherlins. I observed that the swollen streams of a few weeks before had gone down, but the cloud burst of the night before was in evidence. When we reached Sutherlins a gang of colored men were standing on the side of the wash out. The mill dam had been utterly destroyed and it was evident that no wheat or corn or oats could be ground for some time to come. MR. RISON'S HOME secured a car and was soon on the front porch of the Rison residence. All was familiar and homelike. Although exposed to the weather, the Stanley was no worse for wear. A repast was soon served and later Mr. Rison came in and I went (3) bed. When I awoke, I found that Robin son had worked on the car, taken it down town twice and really was ready for the return trip. DISTINGUISHED GUESTS I was puzzled, I decided not to risk the return trip until Saturday morning. I slept soundly that night although I had rested all the afternoons Mrs. Rison came up to the house and did all in her power to make our stay there pleasant. It was after 9 A. M. August 2nd, before 9 left the house and as I passed Rev. A. A. Galvin's residence, I saw Dr. R. C. Woods president of Virginia Seminary and College and Rev. Clifton G. Cabell, Dr. Galvin came over to the car with them. There was a hearty greeting. CROSSED THE DAN RIVER. We then went to Mr. Rison's restaurant, where the Madame fixed a luncheon for us. Then we crossed the bridge over the Dan river to North Danville and then out on the Mountain Road to Houston. The car was steaming fine and for some time, the macadam road added to our pleasures. We struck the red clay further up and although I had warned Robinson to let other cars pass him and not to try passing them, he had it his way with the result that a Ford car that had gotten to one side as far as it could go around the Stanley-big wheels going up against it although Robinson had it headed the other way. A BAD MIXUP The more he tried to give it rooms the wise the tangle became until Harry in sheer desperation bent the Ford fender until enough leeway was afforded for the Stanley to pass. The car was in a readey rut and would not "respond to the helm." This was enough for Robinson and I had no more trouble with him. HAD BECOME WORRIED I had become worried. I had chains on both rear wheels, new ones that I had purchased in Danville. I had the old chains with new links in side of the car and then I deemed it the part of prudence to put them on the front wheels. Robinson objected, but he put them on some kind of way. They made it hard for him to steer and he was looking out for his arms. Moreover, he could not run the car as fast as he desired and he had 175 miles to go before he would see the church steeples of Richmond. CHAINS WENT WRONG. As for me, I wanted to feel safe whether I was safe or not, the front wheels were clained. We had not gone far before there was a ripping sound, something had gone wrong.

The first annual conference of the Colored Farmers of Prince Edward County was held at the Court House, Friday, August 8. The morning session began at ten o'clock, Mr. J. W. Lancaster, County Demonstrator, presiding. The welcome address was delivered by Rev. J. H. Wiley. The address was instructive and interesting. The reports from the several districts were encouraging and showed that Mr. Lancaster had left no stone unturned in his effort to make the Conference a success. District reports were made as follows: Farmville, Mr. John L. Branch; Hampden, A. A. Biggers; Leigh, R. T. Martin; Lockett, F. R. Wiley, Buffalo, J. H. Reed. Mr. Lancaster reported $200 toward the County Rally and opportunity was given for the delegates present to pay their pledges.

The afternoon session opened at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. R. T. Martin, President, presided. The object of th Conference was stated by a Special Agent sent to represent Mr. J. B. Pierce. As to the logical place for the holding of such Conferences the speaker suggested that it be carried to the farmers and held in their respective communities. The Conference was also favored by a splendid address from Rev. A. C. Griggs, Teacher of History and Bible, Haines Institute, Augusta, Ga. The speaker urged the farmer, first, to make their farms attractive if they hoped to hold their children. Second, The colored preacher in the county had a wonderful influence, hence the necessity for an intelligent consecrated ministry in the country districts as well as the city. Thrid. That teachers who teach in these districts should have a knowledge of agriculture. Fourth. As to the problem of the middleman, nobody rules, says the speaker, but a thinker. It was a masterly address and the speaker for thirty minutes thrilled his audience with a message that came from his very heart and soul. Judge A. D. Watkins delivered the closing address and found his text in Rev. Grigg's address. He dwelt on the danger of thoughts not rightly guided. It was an enthusiastic meeting and everybody felt benefited. The world owes a great debt of gratitude to the farmer and everyone should be willing to help the farmer to help himself. The following officers were elected: President, R. T. Martin; Secretary, A. A. Biggers; Treasurer, Charles Robinson; J. W. Lancaster, Local Agent. Slogan of the Conference: Ownership of farm, improvement of farm, better schools, support of schools. Raise enough to support your family and live stock and some for the market. If all the helpful suggestions are carried out, we feel assured that better conditions will prevail in our farming districts. The funeral services of Brother James Johnson were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. R. Augustus, assisted by Rev. Augustus Griggs, on last Sunday morning, at Beulah A. M. E. Church. Services were very solemn and impressive. Deceased had been a member of Beulah Church for about forty-four years. He lived an upright Christian life and leaves to mourn their loss, a wife two sisters, Mrs. Martha West and Mrs. Louvenia Morris of Orange, N. J. and a host of relatives and friends Brother Johnson was a great sufferer therefore the pastor chose as it text these words, found in the eight chapter of Romans, the eighteenth verse, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." After the eulogy was delivered Mrs Pearl Madden sang a sweet solo that soothed the hearts of the bereaved, Rev. Augustus Griggs then spoke words of consolation to the broken-hearted family and friends. Though we may endure much affliction and pass through deep waters, yet this is our honor and comfort, the Lord is with us! and then—what is difficulty?—what is tribulation? what is death? Death to a Christian is but an entrance into the City of God. It is but joining a more blessed company and singing in a more exalted strain than he can in this world. The Pastor preached at night from St. Luke 12:21. "And is not rich toward God." Theme: "The Best Wealth Open for All." He impressed upon us very forcibly the importance at this crisis of the world's history of laying up treasures in Heaven, for to be rich on the heavenward side is after all, the best wealth.

Traces Outbreaks to Migration From the South and Reports of Colored Troops' Treatment in France—Points Out Lessons for Leaders of Both Races—Deplores "Direct Action"—Asserts Clashes Must Be Suppressed Quickly With Military Force. (By William Howard Taft.) A thoughtful, patriotic Southern leader, writing to a Northern friend after the Booker Washington lunchoon and the discussion in the Southern press which followed, said his attitude was illustrated by the answer of a countryman to an inquiry of a traveller as to how the Indian name of a creek, which he had been oblidged to cross many times, was snelled. The countryman said: "Wal, stranger, some spells it one way and some do spell it another. But in my judgment there air no right way to spell it." "To many people the problem is insoluble and the riots in Chicago and elsewhere serve to confirm them in their view. But we should not be so faint hearted. Exceptional conditions have precipitated these outbreaks and are not likely to continue unabated. MIGRATION CREATED CONGESTION. The migration of Southern Negroes to the Northern cities, induced by the prospect of very high wages and stimulated by Southern faciliti and stimulated by Southern discripinations in educational facilities and in the administration of justice, has created a congestion and a lack of proper housing in such cities. Then the stories of the treatment of the colored troops in France, some of them unfortunately true, have been given widespread publicity among the Negroes in this country. Some official communications from American headquarters warning foreign offi- against social familiarity with American Negro officers, though subsequently disavowed by the commander in chief were printed and widely circulated by the cloed press. Editorialists dwelt on the heartlessness of race prejudice which persisted even when Negroes were shedding their life's blood for their country which even the government they were dying to save was encouraging. LEADERS IN TWO CLASSES Negro leaders are divided into 2 classes—the are those who feel as deeply as they can the injustice and heart misery arising from race prejudice, and they would restrain as far as possible by legislation and executive action such injustice, but they believe that the real way to ameliorate conditions is to educate the Negro for life by vocational and character training, and by thus increasing his value to his community and himself to moderate and neutralize such prejudice. They preach and cultivate self-restraint by the Negro and selfetterment. They deprecate much the inflaming of the souls of colored men against the white race, even when there are at hand well established facts justifying indignation and a deep sense of wrong. There are others, educated men, who with no restraint, have poured out their agony of soul and sense of outrage in addresses and editorials and roused their fellow Negroes as they never have been roused before. The lynchings, those horrible exhibitions of blood lust against which all good people are poining in apparently hopeless protest, have led to desperation among the blacks. The retired Negro soldier, used to arms, returning from the war environment resenting the ingratitude he sees in all of this, is prompted to "direct action" to remedy his wrongs. He has heard much of "direct action" from other groups seeking redress of their grievances. The general unrest is in harm ony with his impulses. INNOCENT ONES ARM SELVES. On the other side we have those who looked with suspicion on any source from which the supply of labor can be increased. The lower in the scale of intelligence the strong er their feeling against a race they glory in calling inferior. Then the minute there is an out break the lawless and the criminals, coming out into the open like cockroaches at night, join in the quarrel with avidity and divide by color. Thus the riot, beginning in a single quarter develops formidable proportions. Innocent people of both races, frightened by reports arm themselves for protection and we have a sitation deplorable indeed. The evidence seems to show, as is usually the case that in Chicago were the aggressors and man's inhumanity to maningo. Nose led into a water RECALES BIRMINGHAM INCIDENT. Dr. Moton, the wise and able head of Tuskegee anticipating the ability of such distressing outbreaks, described in a commencement address at Hampton last May a state of things at Birmingham som ewocks before. He said that rumors spread that the Negroes of that neighbor- hood wore getting arms and drilling with the purpose of attacking the whites on a certain Saturday night. It gave him and others great concern. They investigated. They could find no basis for the report of such a plan. But they did find that Ne groes and white men alike, stirred by the reports were arming themselves and that the supply of small arms and ammunition at the shops in Birmingham had been completely ex haunted. A committee of leading white men and colored men met and did everything possible to allay alarm, and the dreaded Saturday night passed without incident or outbreak. The appalling number of the dead and wounded in Chicago should lead the authorities of every city with congested Negro quarters and population to call together leaders of both races, who, acting jointly, should take appropriate measures to stop hysteria, to allay alarm and to arrest loudmouthed agitators and criminals before the trouble begins. The editors of the colored press should be reasoned with, to cease publishing articles however, true have in citing effect. 'DIRECT ACTION' WORST REMBOY. The educated extremists among the Negro leaders must certainly see that however great the injustice done to their race, due to blind prejudice "direct action" is the worst possible remedy. The more white victims the greater the colored victims will be and in the end the feeling out of which this evil has come will be in creased and the slow and steady im provement in the agricultural and in dustrial status of the Negro shown by statistics will be obstructed. Such leaders should use every argument to quiet their followers and to condemn further lawlessness as an offset to white outrage. Those who suffer from such riots are often one might say, usually not participants in the fighting but are bystanders who happen to be in the line of fire either through unwise curiosity or because they can't help it. Meantime peaceable, law-abiding Negroes are besieged in their own houses, where they with difficulty secure needed food and supplies or they go to their daily occupations at the risk of their lives. Negro house owners are threatened with arson. These riots have a lesson that the whites should take to their souls. It is that each one of us has a responsibility to the community in dealing with our colored fellow citizens. Every time a white man insults a Negro, every time he conveys by his conduct an overwhelming sense of his race superiority to a Negro, he contributes to the cause out of which these race riots have come. No race responds so quickly to sympathetic aid as the Negro. No race can be made to forget or forgive past wrongs as easily by sincere cooperation and protection. If this trouble spreads to all the large cities the authorities and the prominent and trusted leading citizens of those cities must have foresight and take quick action. No doubt must be left of the intention of the city and state to suppress lawlessness. Troops in impressive and overwhelming force must be summoned at once. Meantime the joint measures of wise and leading whites and Negroes to give the Negroes to know that the State will protect them and that they are not to be abandoned to the mercy of hoodlums and gammen will do much by way of preventi Another lesson of the Chicago riots is in making clear the responsibility of the large employers of lab or who invite Southern Negroes into their plants, for their proper housing. They owe it to the community in which they live to see it that they are not thus sowing seed plots of riots and lawlessness in their quest for labor. (Washington Post.) THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....6.00 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....AUGUST 16, 1919 Every city in the United States with a large colored population is taking steps to prevent a race riot. We are determined to continue right living although many of our people delight in living "ragged." We are worried sometimes over existing conditions, but we remember that these upheavals must come before the advent of the millennium. When colored folks began to do the work formerly performed by white men, we felt sure that trouble would begin in the north, even as it had been brewing in 'the South. The war is over in Europe, so far as the marshalling of great armies is concerned, but there is an industrial and social unrest that now threatens to be more terrible than war. --- The formal signing of the peace treaty was accomplished after some trouble. The ratification of this same document is being brought about with much trouble. It has been an old saying that "people living in glass houses should not throw stones." The American Peace Commissioners at Paris, including President Wilson seemed to have forgotten that adage. The office holders at the Virginia State capital are asking for a fifty per cent increase in wages. In view of the demands now being made by the laboring elements, this request seems to be quite modest and should be granted. 2. 2.2. Thousands of colored people flock from the South, who neither know how to respect themselves nor others. They become a living type of the colored folks, although the great body of the colored folks of this country are of the respectable type. --- When God created man, he created woman very soon afterwards. She was content with being behind for a long while, then she claimed the right to be at his side and now, with some of these men she is a long distance in front. The names of thirty colored people and three white people were presented to the grand jury at Chicago for participation in the riots in that city. It seems that the eyesight of the Chicago officers of the law is in about as bad shape as those who provided over the destinies of the towns in Mississippi and Texas. --- Colored folks continue to teach your children politeness and drill them in good manners. We must make friends with the white folks, both north and south for we need their friendship and they need ours. The decision rendered by Special Chancellor W. C. Cherry sitting in the Chancery Court at Nashville, Tennessee amounts to a decision that both of the contending parties get together and adjust their own differences. We can find but little cause for complaint in the decree and that Dr. R. H. Boyd should have taken an appeal from the Court's findings is to be expected when it restricted him in the use of the funds that were taken in the conduct of the same. Ex President William Howard Taft is much in the limelight these days. His last deliverance dealt with the rioting and killing of colored people in Washington and Chicago. We have read it carefully and we are reproducing the same in these columns. For our part, we are of the opinion that he has sized up the situation exactly and that he has proposed a plan which he followed will end the present state of unrest now existent in this country. 1.

Partner Prohibition Officer H. F. Sweet was fined one hundred dollars and put under a bond of two hundred and fifty dollars to keep the peace after being charged with assaulting and beating Director of Public Safety Myers. It seems to be rath er peculiar that the Director of Public Safety could not insure himself from an attack of this kind and make him self safe when he has the entire po the force of the city at his back. Officer Sweet has taken an appeal from the decision and the indications are that this phase of the situation will be preliminary to a bitter contest. Officer Sweet has received some hard knocks recently and it seems as though the point of forbearance with him has passed. We shudder to think of what would have happened had any other citizen, colored citizen attacked the Director of Public Safety. One Hundred Dollars fne? Great Jehoshaphat! The United States Government is said to be investigating the recent racial disturbances throughout the country. What is needed right now is the enforcement of the law and the punishment of the rioters, regardless of race or color. Let the Government restrain its white soldiers and sailors and these riotous conditions will disappear "like frost before the sun." Congressman J. T. Heflin claims that the crime of rape started the race riots recently in Washington with the colored mum as the perpetrator of the outrage. This distinguished ed southerner knows better than this. Did rape start the East St. Louis massacre? Did rape start the riots in Philadelphia? Did rape start the trouble in Chicago? The cause is racial antigayly on the part of chronic white disturbers, who envy the progress of respectable colored people and who use every means to discredit and injure them. A black rapist is no worse than a white rapist. Why not the black and the white people unite to rid the communities of both classes of this kind of people? The excuses amount to nothing. The better class of white people and the better class of colored people understand each other. Let this class co-operate in bettering conditions and in eliminating an evil that is generally recognized. There is not a black crook in the United States today, who did not receive his instructions from a white crook. The lower element of black people believe in the white man of the underworld and will generally do what he tells them to do. When it comes to devilish ingenuity and scandalous crimes, we find that we have much of this kind of material thrown over into our "back yards" by white people, who have trained them in crime and who have educated them in all of the sleight of hand performances of dishonesty. On the other hand, thousands of white people, who wish us well have been educating us and helping us along the lines of up right living. Some way and some how the truth will be known and people who are now doing all in their power to discredit and injure us will be marching in the throng singing our praises. It was Frederick Douglass, who said: Measure us not by the heights that we are to climb, but rather by the depths from which we have come. PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS Every colored person in the United States and every white one for that matter should assume a conservative attitude in dealing with conditions in our metropolitan cities. It is admitted that the uniformed white men in the Army and Navy of the United States are primarily the fomentors of strife and the abettors of lawlessness. These men are under the direct control of the War and Navy Departments and if the proper orders are given and enforced there will be no trouble from this source in the future. In the meantime, do not let us lose the ground we have gained in the estimation of the better class of white people. Let us use our influence to curb the lawless elements in our midst and to discountenance inflammatory language at home or on the street corners. It is time enough to act when the necessity presents it self. Those people, who do the most talking as a rule get other people in to trouble and when the disaster THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA comes they are already under cover. Colored men should know and under stand that they are American citizens entitled to all of the rights and privileges of American citizens which er they get them or not. Boisterous conduct and loud talking will not get these rights. They must be obtained through legislation and by the fight for the enforcedment of this legislation in the courts of this country. We cannot enforce our rights by lawless methods or by blood shed. That can only come in self defense. When one has his life and property attacked by lawless mobs, be the mobs black or white, then is the time to resort to force and not until they. Attack and defense should not be based upon color. It should not be based upon race. We should go to the aid of our white neighbor who is law abiding in the same manner that he should come to our help under similar circumstances. The brikes who feed lynching parties and mobs know only force as a detergent weapon on in the hands of the party attacked or the officers of the law. If we could impress upon our people the necessity of being polite and obliging to white people and to them selves, we are of the opinion that along stride would be taken in the settlement of these most embarrassing questions. --- THE ABYSSINIAN DEEEGATION. It is a humiliating fact that the Abyssinian delegation on a visit to this country should have been snubbed at the Democratic Club in New York city to the extent that a dinner-staged to be given them there had to be cancelled, although they had listened to the song of the great President in the White House of the nation, who had started out upon a campaign to make the world safe for democracy. One of these members of the delegation was repaired to be the commander-in-chief of seven million armed men. The part these troops played in the late war did much to double the contest against Germany. But almost before the pen is dry upon the treaty of peace, they experience treatment that is in striking contrast to that accorded them abroad. These conditions cannot go on and continue indefinitely. The discrimination against dark races in this country must lead to discrimination against dark races in other countries. It will lead ultimately to a clash of warring elements that will be greater and more disastrous than the present bloody struggle. The one way is the right way. Equivocations and evasion will not do. The issues must ultimately be met and God-given righteous principles must again be triumphant in the land. This is an era of compromises and equivocations, of deception, and false statements. Few men have the hardihood and the nerve to speak out for the right and to leave the settlement to God. We have hope though that right will triumph in our day and the downfall of wrong will be observable during this day and generation. GUEST AT HOTEL DALE Cape May, N.

TELL NEGRO THE TRUTH, SAYS REPRESENTATIVE HEELF. ```markdown ``` Taft's Article on Race Riots Called Timely by Representative. (Washington Post) Representative J. T. Hoflin of Alabama, commenting yesterday on former President Taft's article in yesterday's Post on race riots, said: "Mr. Taft's suggestion in The Post this morning that the law-abiding white people and the law abiding Negroes should both preach a crusade against race hatred and race riots is very timely. Innocent people of both races always suffer whenever a riot occurs. "Mr. Taft, says that each one of O DR.FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER us has a responsibility to the community in dealing with colored citizens, and that is true. There is no better way of serving the community and no better way of serving the Negro everywhere than of being, entirely frank with him and taking him the truth and the whole truth regarding an evil and a crime that lies at the bottom, of every race, riot that has occurred in our country and that is the crippin of rape. That crime committed by Negro men on white women in Washington recently started the riot in this city. It is unfortunate that Mr. Taft did not call attention to and condemn the crime responsible for the race riot here. "The Negro who commits that offense against a white woman, deserves to die and whether it be in the North or in the South the white man will see to it that the death, penalty is imposed. I deeply regret that Mr. Tabb, in his article in the Washington Post this morning in which he said that every time a white man in suit a Negro, every time he coneys by his conduct an overweening sense of his race superiorly to a Negro, he contributes to the cause out of which these race riots have come—that he did not say thag as long as the Negro commits the crime of race upon a white woman, he himself is doing the very thing that will surely produce race prejudice and race riots, and that the only sure way to prevent race prejudice and race riots is to stamp out or put a stop to the crime that produces them. When that crime is committed in the South, the Negro who commits it dies, but we never harm or permit anyone to harm an innocent Negro. It is wrong and indefensible to attack an innocent Negro because an other Negro his neighbor, has committed a crime. It is the duty of the white man to distinguish between the law abiding Negro and the criminal Negro and it is the duty of the law-abiding Negro to aid the authorities in apprehending the lawless Negro who has committed the crime that stirs up race prejudice and pro-duces race riots. Before then, I submit to Mr. Taff, that the way to prevent an out break between the races is to remove the cause or crime that produces the outbreak. FELTON NOTES. --- The Blue Triangle, W. W. C.

HUGHES, 618 Main St., Farmville, Va --- THE PLANET SATURDAY.....AUGUST 16, 1919 (Continued from First Page.) One of the rods to the fender was broken. It did not matter. The chains were taken off the front wheels and then we travelled over one of the most rugged, slippery roads in the State. The grades were awful at some points and the winding character of the roads made it a difficult task to make any speed. MR. MARTIN THERE. We had no further trouble and we reached Houston at 12:30. We had left Danville at 9:45. We went to the water trough in front of the Courthouse and many greeted us, Mr. J. H. Martin's son was there and it was not long before he had his father over to shake my hand. The Stanley steam car was a curiosity. Every owner of the gas car wanted to see the one that had no spark rings, no tears, no clutches but simp be climbed hills with a movement of the throttle and burned kerosene. When I purchased the Stanley, kerosene that had been as low as six cents per gallon had gone up to ten and one half cents per gallon. KEROSENE WENT UP. I paid twenty cents per gallon at Houston with gasoline selling at 27 cents per gallon. Many questions were asked Robinson. He smiled in a monochalent way and gave answers in monosyllables. What explanation without a long conversation can a person give about the Stanley steamer? It has only thirty seven parts, but they are closely analogous. to a io cognitive that pulls passenger or freight coaches. An engineer will understand in a few words, but what about the operator of a gas car THAT BAD CROSSING It is easier to tell the latter, what it will and what it will not do. Information can be given a chauffeur only by comparison. I did not tarry Houston and a few moments later, we were on our way to Clover. We had covered thirty five miles of bad road equal to more than double that distance of good road. We reached a point that had been under water. A two foot stream was to be crossed and it seemed to be deep. Some one had had two planks aerosis it and the wheel of the car must keep on those planks in order to get aerosis. MORE RED CLAY. I did not feel happy as Harry got out to straighten the planks and Robinson sighted them in order to keep the four wheels of that big seven passenger steam car on the same. He crossed it safely and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then more red Clay, a road that always bothered Robinson. Anything for him but red clay, rocks, bricks, sand but red clay? oh, no. We arrived at Clover. Here, I met Mr. B. H. Foster he is a product of Principal James S. Russell's school at Lawrenceville. A BAD PLACE He has a fine place of business. He sells well high everything that a countryman would need. He disposed of drygoods, notions, etc. His establishment was as "meat as a pin." I was much pleased. I got in to the car that was awaiting me and then onward we went to Chase City. We had to pass the point, where in coming up, the Stanley had actually "boxed" itself across the road on account of red clay. We made good progress. I had told Robinson that we would take off the chains after leaving Chase City and this satisfied and pleased him greatly. He wanted the car fixed so it could run at top notched speed. THE WRONG ROAD. We found that the speedometer was out of commission. We had been running on a detailed Danville to Richmond schedule that had been given to me by Chief of Police Belt that popular guardian of the peace at Danville, Va. I was at a loss now and had gone about a mile down a fine road when I was thoughtful enough to enquire the way of a white gentleman, who was driving a Ford car. "You are a mile out of the way," he said. You should have turned to the left on the road that you just passed. Robinson made the turn on a road about as narrow as any to be found in all of that section. TAKING WATER. I feared we would not get out, but a moment later, we were on route to Chase City. It was easy taking water. We would drop the rubber hose in the stream, open the syphon valve and the steam would suck or draw the water in such a rush as to fill the tank in a short while. Ariving at Chase City, I enquired for Mrs. Mary L. Jeffries. There are two Mrs. Jeffress. However either one would do for, who should come to the door, but Mrs. William Isaac Johnson, Jr. She was there spending the summer with Mrs. James A. C. Johnson. IN CHASE CITY. I entered and took charge. Mr. George W. Rison had given us all that we wanted to eat and we took it out, put it on the table with Mrs Johnson acting as hostess. Her baby was having the time of its life on the back porch. Hurriedly, we left for it was after 3 P. M. I met Sir Frank B. Smith and after making some purchases started for Lunenburg Court House. This section had a peculiar interest for me. It was twenty-five years before that the great Lunenburg tragedy took place, Mrs. Lucy Jane Podard being murdered in her home and Solomon Manable, suspected in Chase City was chased and arrested as one of the murderers of that helpless woman. THAT HELPLESS WOMAN. Robinson was driving me along this same road now and he passed all unknowingly the fork that led to Fort Mitchell, Va., where the tragedy actually occurred. I had it all ome vividly before me now. Eight hundred dollars had been taken en from the leather belt around the waist of this helpless woman and then Mary Abernathy, Pokey Barnes and Mary Barnes were charged with the crime or with being accessories. Marable finally confessed that a white man hired him to kill Mrs. Pollard and that this white man got all of the money but one twenty dollar bill which he gave to Solomon Marable and which bill led to his undoing; THAT TWENTY DOLLAR BILL The colored woman at the eating house went out to get the bill changed and this wakened suspicion. What did a lone, tall colored man mean by having a twenty dollar bill in that "neck of the woods," when the money taken from the body of Mrs. Pollard consisted in part of money of that denomination Marable, when suspected ran like a deer. He leaped six foot fences with the agility of an athlete, but he was captured. He and the women were tried. Marable was sentenced to be hanged and Mary Barnes Mary Abernathy (the mother of 15 children) were also sentenced to be hanged while Pokey's mother Mary was given ten years in the penitentiary. WARNED NOT TO COME THERE Old man, Joe Barnes and Wilson Abernathy came to Richmond. The prisoners were brought to Richmond to save them from being lynched. I met them at the train as the troops came in with them. A short time afterwards Robinson was driving down the road while Lunenburg C.H., where the celebrated trial with Judge Orgain presiding took place, boomed up directly in front of across the road. It did not seem as though we would be able to get through, but we had to take the road to the right. This was the place where the Pinkerton detectives that I had employed at a cost of one thousand dollars had warned me not to come. THOSE ABLE ATTORNEYS The feeling here against John Mitchell, Jr., was as bitter then as it was against the unfortunate prisoners. But I must shorten my story. Those able attorneys, Hon. George D. Wise, Hon. Henry W. Floorour, and Hon. A. B. Guigon fought the case to a "funch." I knew Solomon Marable was guilty. I behewed Mary Abernathy, Pokey Barnes and Mary Barnes were innocent. My purpose was not to shield the guilty but to punish the guilty and to save the innocent. I saw Solomon Marable hanged in the jail at Farmville, Va. and I shipped his body after a bitter fight to his wife in North Carolina. HON, ASA D. WATKINS Mary Abemathy, thanks to the Christian character of Hon. Asa D. Watkins the commonwealth's attorney of Prince Edward county together with Pokey Barnes and her mother Mary Barnes were freed. They made their homes in Richmond. These were the memories that came to me. I am as I sat in that Stanley steam er and rode over this section of the country all unknown to older in habitants and only a memory to the younger generation. I was in my prime then, full of vigor and determination and it was in dealing with cases like these that my record was made. THOSE NON-SKID CHAINS I had left Lunenburg C. H., behind me and with it those glastly memo ries. I was on the way to Blackstone and Petersburg. I failed to state that Robinson did not need no invitation to unchain the car. As soon as I arrived in Chase City and passed into the house, when I looked out again no non-skid chains were visible, this accounted for the rapid time being made. He may have been running 25, 40, 50 or even 75 miles per hour for all I knew. The speedometer was not working. I know that the car was going "mighty fast." MRS. JACKSON'S SON When I passed down the main street of Blackstone, I saw Mrs. Jonnie V. Jackson's son. He wanted me to go to his home to see his mother I was about to do so, when a white gentleman with his satchel accosted me. He wanted to know if he could ride with me to Petersburg. I consented as I was the only passenger in the car although it presented the appearance of a freight or baggage car as Robinson had all of those things necessary for repair in the part of 2 extra seats and this gave me but little foot room. I could not visit Mrs. Jackson and it was not long before we were on ouri way to Petersburg. The white gentleman was Mr. R. B. Davis, a lumber merchant, who resided at Chester, Va. HE KNEW THE ROAD. I know every foot of the road to Petersburg," he said. Robinson lost no time in carrying as there. Arriving at Petersburg at 7:30, it was some time before we could get a supply of kerosene oil. Then we started for the Petersburg Pike. When we readed Ghoster Mr. David asked "What are your clothes?" THE RIGHMOND PLANET. RIOHMOND. VIRGINIA "Nothing in the world" was my reply. You can tip the chauffeur." He handed Robinson a bill with the re mark "This is for not breaking my neck." He showed us the shortest way out to the Broad Rock road and then we started for Chesterfield C. II. THE END OF THE JOURNEY Robinson evidently wanted to get home for it was not long before we had passed Chesterfield C. H., and had passed Chesterfield C. H., and then but a short time thereafter before I saw the lights of Richmond. We went to the Planet Office and Robinson went on his way with the car to put it up for the night. When I reached my residence it was only a short before I had retired and with the closing of my eyes came to me the most pleasant dreams. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

Baltimore, Aug. 13—A strong plan that the race subscribe, pay and carefully read race journals in order to get the correct side of racial matters was made by the Rev. Joseph L. Butler at Grace Presbyterian Church Sunday morning. His theme was "Some of the Infamous Methods That Lead to Race Clashes." He scored the white press, the police and the courts as favorites of prejudice against the race. He said further: "No Government can expect to live and prosper that invites in the time of need to its service its prescribed citizens of brain power and brawn that equal other elements of the population, and then turn them loose to the fury of the mob, unprotected to be lynched in the most horrible manner, with almost no chance of making a defense, and such action being supported by the press, police and the courts."

TO 'RELIEVE LOCAL DISTRESS' Senate Subcommittee, Already at Work, Is Expected to Submit Recommendations Shown—Morris and Co. Agout Says Packers Lost on July Sales in District—Says no Relief is in Sight. President Wilson yesterday threw the entire weight of his great office into an appeal to Congress to relive Washington from the grip of the food profiteer. He declared that since the legislative authority of the Senate and the House is without limit, in matters pertaining to the District of Columbia, living conditions here should be such as to serve as a model throughout the rest of the country. This is is the first time since he has been in the White House that President Wilson has urged local legislation. It is doubtful if any President hitherto has made a similar appeal to Congress. Having made a recommendation that proper national legislation be enacted to limit the time foods may be held in storage to prescribe the methods of disposing of them if kept beyond the permitted period, and require that all goods released from storage shall bear the date of receipt the President calling attention to local needs said; WORK ALREADY BEGUN. "It would serve as a useful example to other communities of the country as well as greatly relieve local distress if the Congress were to regulate all such matters very fully for the District of Columbia where its legislative authority is without lim it." Fortunately a Senate District committee which is now investigating food profiteering in Washington has by its action anticipated the very proposal the President made. The sub committee is engaged in an exhaustive inquiry into the cause of high prices in foodstuffs in the District, proposes later to investigate rents and may include shoes and clothing, in its scrutiny of the skyward tenencies of prices. It will later re commend corrective legislation. This subcommittee of which Senator Ball of Deleware is chairman yesterday completed examination of representatives of the "big five" packing houses which has been in progress all this week in an endeavor to ascertain what the local retail dealers pay for their meats. H. A. Timus of Morris and Co., Chicago was the witness yesterday. QUOTES BEEF PRICES. Declaring like his predecessors, that his firm had been doing business at a loss here in Washington, Mr. Timmins said that during July the net cost of its beef was $18.98 per hundred pounds, upon which a loss or 30 cents per hundred weight was sustained. Here are his firm's quotations to Washington retail dealers: Loins, 20 to 34 cents; round 16 to 30 cents; ribs, 10 to 32 cents; chucks 8 to 17 cents; plates, briskets and shins, 8 to 12 cents. Opposing Federal legislation for regulation of packers Mr. Timmins said: "There is no necessity for legislation. We are obeying the laws and handling business efficiently—even the Federal Trade Commission admits that—and our profits are small." NO RELIEF IN SIGHT Questioned by Senator Capper as to his objection to government supervision, Mr. Timmins said: "Government supervision or control would only slow up the machinery of distribution and increase the spread between the cost of the live animal on the hoof and the cost of the product to the consumer." Mr. Timmins held out no hope of lower prices. "In the old days" says I only a year or so ago the 5-cent loaf of bread was the order of the day, and we all think of flour as the principal item entering into the cost of bread, but as good an authority as Julius H. Barnes of the United Stat as corporation stated that if flour were furnished to the baker free (the present cost of labor and other materials remaining the same) we could hardly attain a retail 5-cent loaf. --- RACE CONGRESS DELEGATES MEET ABSYSNIANS. Washington, D. G., July. 27.—A delegation of the National Race Congress of America, composed or Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president Prof. John R.

Brown and A. C. Garner was received a few days ago by the Abyssinian Envoys a few days ago in the parlers of the fashionable Lafayette Hotel near the White House. The Envoys, standing in a semi-circle were introduced by The Kantiba Gebron (Mayor) who stood to the left of His Excellency, Dedjamatch Nadao (Duke) the chief of the Envoys. The other Abyssinians were Ato Herouy of the diplomatic corps, and Ato Sink Take no chances; get the best. This haircut is no equal.

Paul Rex Morrisssey (white) was aide de camp to the Duke Nadao. The Abyssinians were the picturesque costume of their country. Dr. Jernagin presented Prof. John R. Hawkins as the spokesman of the Race Congress to offer greetings in the name of all our people. Prof. Hawkins told them of our pride in the achievements of the Abyssinian Kingdom; of our fellowship of purpose; of our esteem for the character religion, heritages and strength of their people, and welcomed them to our country as citizens of a great race having promise of the highest development. The Duke, through the Kantiba, replied, thanking Prof. Hawkins for his gracious words. The informal talks that followed were delightful, free from diplomatic restrictions, and an excellent impression was made upon each by these conferences, representing different governments and two continents. The Envoys evinced the deepest interest in the many questions that aro like to affect the well-being of their country in the future and in the wonderful progress that has been made here by the American Negro in the past fifty years. There was a noticeable pride of Government in all the sayings of the Envoys and The Kantitha, with a bewitching smile and a humorous twinkle in his dark eyes said: "Abyssinia is to be the future home of the Negro." An invitation was extended to the visitors to attend the next session or the National Race Congress which is to be held in this city in October. If the Envoys find themselves unable to be present, they will doubtless send a letter. Arrangements were made for the exchange of photographs of the Race Congress delegates and the Envoys. The conference closed with a feeling on both sides that much good had been accomplished through a fuller understanding of the problems that confront two wings of the Negro race, which have so many interests in common.

Twenty-Three More Negroes are Indicted in Connection With Partici- pation in Recent Race Riots, Mak- ing Total of FiftyFour. Chicago, August 7.—Representatives of forty two union locals of stock yard employees voted tonight for a general strike tomorrow unless militia, ploicemen and deputy sheriffs on duty to prevent race rioting are withdrawn from the yards. More than 100,000 persons are employed in the yards. A strike was virtually begun today when hundreds of white men quit work after 3,000 of the 15,000 Negro workers returned to the yards under troop protection. They had been com- polled to remain at home because of last week's race rioting. The union men said they objected to Negro nonunion workers and not to the workers simply because they were Negroes. They claimed that about 5,000 white men walked out to day, but the packing company officials placed the number at about 650. Before the strike vote officials of the stockyards labor council conferred with Federal Judge Alschuler, Federal arbitrator in stockyards controversies. The Negro situation was discussed and it was believed the aid of Judge Alschuler in having the guards withdrawn also was sought. The grand jury today voted indictments against twenty-three more Negroes making a total of fifty three Negroes indicted, for participating in the recent riots. One Negro beat en in the riots died today, making the death list thirty-six. GRAND EXALTED RULER CONSENTS TO RUN AGAIN. Likely to be Re Elected by Acclamation by Grand Lodge of Elks at Atlantic City. Convention. (Thompson National News Bureau.) Washington, D. C., July 27.—Attorney Armond W. Scott, the popular leader of the "Anttered Herd," has yielded to the practically unanimus call of the subordinate branches of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, and has consented to become a candidate for another term as Grand Exalted Ruler, subject to the decision of the 20th Grand Lodge Session, which will be held at Atlantic City August 26, 27 and 28, in the new and magnificent homes of Lighthouse Lodge No. 9. Mr. Scott reached the conclusion to run again only after much personal solicitation, on the part of his nearest and best friends and what appears to be the earnest desire of the order throughout the entire country. Now that he is literally "drafted" he has no alternative but to accept the situation and allow the Order to have its way—for Mr. Scott has never been known as "shlocker." Mr. Scott has achieved an unprecedented popularity among all classes of the Elks by his attractive prosaic ability, his wonderful power as an orator and rare capacity as a "mixer," and by his diplomacy and legal skill displayed in shutting off the expensive litigation over the name and very existence of the Order of Elks. He has travelled more extensively than any previous Grand Exalted Ruler and has come into close personal contact with the lodges from Boston to Kansas City and from Chicago and Detroit to the State bordering on the Gulf. He has particularly strengthened the Order in the hero tofore somewhat neglected southern states. Under his energetic and pains taking guidance the Elks have expanded North, East, West and South beyond the calculations of the most sanguine and he has won for them the largest measure of respect at the hands of the best people everywhere It is not strange, therefore that he is receiving a unanimous call to remain "on the job" for at least one more term, to clinch the great work it so auspiciously set in motion. Mr. Scott is now completing a final tour of the eastern section of the South, visiting lodges in Petersburg and Richmond, Va., and Greensboro and Winston-Salem, N. C. Recent engagements have called him to New York City, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Pa., to Atlantic City. At Atlantic City the City he dedicated the new temple of Lighthouse Lodge No. 9, amid impressive ceremonies. The Eks look for the very best convention of its two decades in Atlantic City August 26, 27 and 28 and the attendance bids fair to be a record breaker.
