There were clinics held, operations performed and other things that attested to the skill of the delegates. The range of subjects that were discussed covered every phase of information known to the medical science and which gave evidence of wide research along the lines discussed. The concession opened Tuesday, August 26 and ended Friday evening when the annual reception to the delegates was held.

SATURDAY THE DEATH SATURDAY..SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 THE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ENTERS RICHMOND. An agency office of the Standard Life Insurance Company will be established in Richmond. The Company's special representative, Mr. J. Percy Bond, of Washington, D. has been in the city during the past week looking over the field with the idea of appointing solicitors and examiners. Through the courtesy of Mr. C. T. Russell, Mr. J. H. McGrew, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and Dr. D. A. Ferguson, all of these gentlemen being stockholders and policyholders of the Standard Life Insurance Company, Mr. Bond is having the opportunity to meet the good citizens. "There is no question about it, Richmond has the best organized colored business propaganda in the State. In fact, of any State I have ever visited. Everybody is loyal to race enterprises. The Standard Life Insurance Company will consider it a favor and an honor to be identified with the thrifty, hustling business enterprises. "You don't have to die to heat it. Life Insurance is indispensably necessary. A mortgaged home is poor legacy without a life insurance policy to protect it."—These are some of the slogans put forth by the Standard. The office of the Company will be located at 325 North First Street, with Mr. S. W. Robinson, Jr., Real Estate and Insurance Agent. Mr. Robinson, who is wide awake to every business proposition that is in line with his already well established business, has accepted a place on the staff of our Richmond agency.

Nor Did He See Shackleford Shoot, and Was of Opinion That No Shot at All Was Fired From Bootleggers' Car. Statement; However, Is Rulled out, Doctor Standing By Assertion He Made to Winchester Editor That "Hudson Made No Dying Declaration." Manassas, Va., Sept. 4. — Exclusion from the jury of all references to the dying statement by Lawrence D. Hudson while in the Winchester Memorial Hospital the night of his death scored a distinct point for the defense yesterday afternoon in the trial of State Prohibition Inspector William C. Hall indicted for the murder of Young Hudson and Raymond F. Shackleford at Fisher's Hill in Shenandoah county, on the night of March 26. Judge Samuel G. Brent, of the Prince William circuit held the state ment inadmissible as evidence on the ground that young Hudson did not know at the time he made it that he was dying. While the jury was out of the room Dr. W. L. Boyd of Winchester, testified that he asked Hudson whence he or he had shot at the officers. Hud-replied that he did not. Dr. Boyd then asked the boy whether his partner, Shackleford had fired. Hudson replied that he did not think so, that he had not seen him fire, and if he did he did not know of it. Dr. Boyd said he had not considered the conversation as a dying declaration as he was encouraging the boy in the hope that he would get well The curtains of the bootleggers' car were put in evidence with the state ment of the garage manager that the four bullet holes had entered the mica inward, while the smoke from the revolvers were on the outside thus controverting the view that the firing was done by the bootleggers from within the car. Herman Good who lives within 300 feet of the scene of the shooting told of seeing the prohibition officers at daybreak the following morning take a bottle out of the bootlegger's car and all drink from the same bottle. SMOKE ONOUTSIDE OF GLASS: H. B. Garber proprietor of the garage at Woodstock testified in a suwer to Mr. Wendenburg's cross-examination that there was smoke on the outside of the isinglass in two places, none on the outside. At Mr. Wendenburg's request jurymen were allowed to take their handkerchiefs and wipe off the isinglass to see on which side the smoke was. Judge Tavenner, for the state objected to destroying material evidence and was overruled. The jurymen were not allowed to make any comments on their experiments with the curtains or to state what their conclusion were. Edward G. Beasley of Woodstock, partner of Mr. Garber told of the big Haynes car being brought in the morning after the shooting. He described a bullet mark in the back of the front seat. Where was that bullet fired from? asked Judge Brent cutting short an altercation of the attorneys. "It was fired from the outside of the car," answered the witness. Over the heated protests of the defense lawyers, Beasley was instructed to bring the bootleggers' car here from Woodstock for the examination of the jury. Counsel for the prosecution were again examining the witness as to whether the bullets had been fired from outside or inside when the judge cut them short, ruling out all repetition. Dr. Boyd described the bullet wounds for which he treated young Hudson one in the left shoulder and one in the abdomen. His condition did not look at first as serious as it became later. An operation was per formed on the abdomen wound, but none in the chest. The patient's condition was good for twenty four hours, then his temperature began to rise. "I saw him frequently that day and up to 11 at night," continued Dr. Boyd. "I was called about 5 and found him much worse and he died at 7:30." He described the outopsy, saying that Hudson appeared to be about 18 to 20 years old, 6 feet tall and weigh ed 180 pounds. Either of the wounds he testified was sufficent to cause death." "He said to me that night," proceeded the doctor, "I think I am go ing to croak." Of course, I encouraged him, though at that time I thought he would die." CONDITION OF BOY AT TIME. The jury was then withdrawn for the court to examine the alleged dying declaration. Dr. Boyd said that Hudson was getting worse, losing ground by all his symptoms; that he appeared depressed and was afraid he would not recover. Dr. Boyd thought it was when he visited him at 11 o'clock the night before he died that he asked him whether he had fired and the boy said no, and said he did not think Shackleford had fired that he had not seen him fire and did not know if he did and it was his opinion that he had not. Some time that night he said me. This is the first time I've ever been sick away from home, and if I ever get well I will get back there and never be sick away from home again. I don't know just what time that was. "He never told me he was going to die. I did not take his statement as a dying declaration, regarding it as a mere conversation." Miss Irene Didier, superintendent of the Winchester Hospital told of Hudson's illness and said he was aprehensive he would not get well and on one occasion he rolled over and said he believed he was going to "crouk." Miss Smoot one of the nurses, was asked whether Hudson had given her any message the night he died. "Yes, he did." She said it was concerning some money he wanted left to his mother. It was after midnight. "I told him I would notify his people," witness proceeded. He said he had $350 in a Petersburg bank and wanted his mother to have it. He seemed to be suffering and had been slightly de lirious. Dr. Boyd, recalled, repeated that he had not regarded his conversation about the shooting as a dying declaration and so had told State Senator Harry F. Byrd editor of the Winches ter Star, that there was no dying declaration. CONVINCED HE WAS DYING. Miss Bell another nurse said Jud son was apprehensive he was going to die. "Some time after midnight I asked him to make a statement about the shooting," she said, "and he said that he didn't feel like talking. He seemed too weak to talk. He made no statement as to this affair to me. I was in and out of the room all night." "Did he consider himself in a serious condition?" "Yes, when I took him word that his mother and sister were on their way to Winchester he said he would not be there that he would not live to see them." Judge brent asked the attorneys -r the commonwealth to presont au thorities on the admission of such dying statements, saying, "I will be very frank with you. That isn't my idea of a dying declaration and it will require some authority to change my mind." Judge Tavener, for the prosecution, argued that a dying statement did not have to be reduced to writing or so labeled if it was a statement made under the apprehension of the patient that he was going to die. The boy stated that he did not shoot, that he did not see Shaackleford shoot and did not think he did—a statement made when in a dying condition facing his Maker at a time when a man tells the truth. He did not even expect to live until his moth er and sister arrived said Judge Tavener. After discussion of some legal authorities, without waiting to hear from Mr. Wendenburg for the defense Judge Brent ruled: "I decline to admit that as a dying declaration. There is no use of any further discussion. Call the jury back and proceed with the next witness. FOUND ON THE TWO BODIES. Ernest Duff, a policeman of Winchester told of the officers bringing in the two men on the morning after the shooting. He piloted them to the hospital where Hudson was left and then took the body of Shackleford to an undertaker. H. G. A. Funk an undertaker of Winchester told of body of Shackleford being brought in about 4 A. M. He searched the pockets and mail contents, including some letters to Shackleford's wife in Raleigh, N. C., and sent the body to North Carolina. He gave a hand ful of cartridges from Shackleford's coat pocket to Prohibition Officer Sullivan. Dr. Boyd, again recalled, told of taking from Hudson at the Hospital his bank book a receipt, a pistol and some cartridges. The pistol was a small colt revolver with five bullets in the magazine and one in the barrel. There were fifteen bullets in all six in the gun and nine extra. He also exhibited the receipt found on Hudson for D. L. Richards, and Co. of Baltimore for twenty cases or 240 quarts of Old Forrester whiskey at $690 dated March 25, 1919. Holmes Irwin a justice of the peace at Woodstock told of going to the garage in Woodstock and telling the manager to allow no one to disarrange the curtains, as they would be used as evidence. He described the curtains as he saw them with bullet holes in the mica, with rough edges broken inwards and black marks on the outside. The rough edges of all four holes were on the inside, he testified. DRANK DEAD MAN'S LIQUOR. Herman Good of Fisher's Hill tes tified that he lived within 300 feet of the scene of the shooting. He and his family heard no shots or noise that night but between daylight and sunrise the next morning when the two officers who took the injuree men to Winchester had returned he testified that he saw them standing on the ground about the bootlegger's car driving out of a bottle. He iden tified Hall as one of those he saw and identified Sweet as the man who came to his house to inquire where the sheriff lived. "Where did they get this bottle?" "Out of the liquor car. I saw them turn the bottle up to their mouths. They got it out of the Haynes' car. The car had not been moved at 6:30 A. M. the following Sunday. Mr. Good said he found some empy cartridges and one loaded cartridge in his garden about twenty feet from where the cars had been standing. He did not know Shackleford or Hut son and there was no underbrush to obstruct the view from his house he said. Mr. Wendenburg read from the to record that Good had seen four men THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA whereas he now claimed to have seen five. "I saw five of them. All five took a drink," he repeated. A long cross-examination followed in which Mr. Good said he did not know what a stenographer was and did not think he had said some of the things shown in the record of the former hearing. "If you were told that Mr. Sweet never took a drink in his life what would you say? asked Mr. Wendenburg. "I'd say he took one this time. I saw him," the answered the witness. A lengthy cross examination and redirect examination followed as to his finding a bullet hole in a post and his belief that the bullet came from across the road. This was kept up until Judge Brent demanded wearily What's the use of repeating all that, Judge Tavennier? You are consuming the time of this court and jury unnecessarily. There should be an end. The jury dosen't want to hear so much repetition." When the hour of adjournment arived Judge Brent gave his consent for Sheriff Barbee to take the jury to see moving pictures at night.

Whereas, Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President of these United States of America, has, above board so vehemently declared himself for universal democracy, and Whereas, Many of the leading officials and people of our great Government, both North and South are creditably seconding this high sentiment for democracy, and, Whereas, The twelve million people of the colored race have for more than three centuries inexpressibly fored for the benefits of such a democracy. We, the members of the Woman's Baptist State Educational Convention of Virginia, therefore feel it but proper and belitting while in session in the city of Roanoke, Virginia to add again our protest and dissatisfaction against all forms of Jim Crowism, segregation and mob violence,—injustices that we have so long been called upon to endure.

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor$_{0}$ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use $o_{0}$ your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the $o_{0}$ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinascap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinascap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year. $2.00 Six Months. 1.10 Three Months. .60 Foreign Subscriptions. 2.50 SATURDAY..SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 Tru₀ friends are hard to find, even in your own family. Colored folks, work and pray, but do more₀ working than you do praying. Heaven seems right here on earth sometimes, and then again, it seems that the other place is here too. Worry kills more people than disease and disease kills enough people, God knows. Street-corner loafing is mighty pleasant to some people. Sometimes females enjoy the habit. In this world, we are up to-day and down tomorrow. Sometimes, we are up and down the same day. Good-timers are still in evidence. The absence of liquor has robbed earth of many of its joys for them, but then they still find a way to have a good time. Good-natured people as a rule make other people happy, while ill-natured people make other people miserable. Colored folks, save your money and invest it in property. The white folks are worried while the colored folks are happy. Some people labor just as hard to give you what you do not want as some other people do to give you what you do want. A healthy child enjoys itself and if you stay around long enough, it will communicate some of its joy to you. Some people are so mean that they cannot get along with themselves, much less get along with some one else. Sometimes we have rain and sometimes we have sunshine and then again, $w_0$ have a "sea of trouble," but we live on until the end comes. The legislature of Virginia has met, adjourned and gone home and the people of the State will now be required to pay increased taxes. We have had many Presidents of the United States, but we never had but one who had one hundred and fifty million dollars to spend, and that was President Wilson. Some mothers wear themselves out giving advice to their daughters that is disregarded at times in two minutes as a result of advice given by some boon companion. $ \mathrm{W}_{0} $ think that President Wilson is lucky to be alive at this time. Work and worry have killed stronger men than he seems to be. But then, he is married and he has a wife to look after his welfare. They are lynching colored folks in the Southland and shooting down the same kind of people in the Northland. It seems to us that it is about time that the Negro was looking out for himself. ```markdown ``` The white folks of the country seem to be split wide open. It seems to us that now is the time for the colored folks to be solidly united. Let us come together and stay to gether. President Woodrow Wilson has no use for Washington, he says. We have never been able to understand why he has not permitted some one else to enjoy life in the capital of the nation. There is Hon. William J. Bryan, as an example. Young girls think of matrimony and old girls think of the same thing. When their thoughts are realized, the next one that follows is about divorce and the quickest way to secure it. Of course, when they marry right, they are all right. President Woodrow Wilson may be making ammunition for the next presidential campaign that is rapidly approaching, but it is now a self-evident fact that he is not making votes in the United States Senate for his League of Nation Treaty. Now the Democrats, or rather some of them, are calling the distinguished occupant of the White House a "weather cook," whatever that may mean in this instance. As a matter of fact, President Wilson made the mistake of his life when he went abroad and took his seat at the Peace Table. We are of the opinion that if President Wilson had those Fourteen Points to write over again, he would make out with a much less number. They were so sharp that no nation seems to be willing to sit down squarely upon them, but Germany, and the Allies discarded them before she had the opportunity to do it. The Democrats of this State did not nominate a "rubber stamp" when they named Hon. Westmoreland Davies as candidate for Governor of Virginia and the people elected a man who knows his own mind and who has nerve enough to carry out and put into operation those ideas for the benefit of all the people. Whether you agree with him or not, he impresses the public that he is not only conscientious, but consistent. It looks to us as though he is the right man in the right place. Thousands of people like to be deceived. They want to hear an untruthlessly told and they do not want to learn the truth, even though it is pleasantly told. They listen to the theorist and the liar and they will not stop to hear the truth-telling individual, even should they be urged to do so by people who know. But then experience will show them their mistakes and suffering will be the chastisement for their not showing more judgment in dealing with the people of to-day. Editor William Monroe Trotter is back in this country again to make this "neck of the woods" miserable for the Negro-haters. It seems to us that the National Race Congress should not only make up a purse of money and give to Mr. Trotter, but that he should be voted a decoration in the shape of a medal that he may be able to hand down as a family heirloom. Trotter may be "cranky," but it is this kind of "crankiness" that has made the world safer for the Negro. We do not mean to infer either that he is cranky, for he is going along the road where results are produced. Mayor John F. Hyland, although a Democrat, has seen fit to appoint Hon. Charles W. Anderson, one of the leading colored men in this country on a committee to provide proper welcome and reception to foreign dignataries, accredited representatives of European governments and other distinguished visitors, who shall arrive at the port of New York during the next few months as guests of our Government. Mr. Anderson is at present Supervisory Agent in the Division of Agriculture, Department of Farms and Markets and at one time held the position of Collector of Internal Revenue of New York. He has been and is at present, popular with all classes and has so successfully discharged the duties assigned to him that his recognition wing immediate approval from all classes, irrespective of politics, race or religion. BALL AT THE MT. ZION BAPTIST The first Sunday in September was a great day with the Willing Working Club at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. J. L. Brown, pastor. The pastor took for a text, Proverbs 3:9-10. His words were: "Honor the Lord." Everybody seemed to have enjoyed the sermon, after which the Willing Working Club reported $202.25. This success caused the entire Church to rejoice. The pastor expressed his many thanks to the club and people. The officers of the club are: Sheila Meikins, president; Harriet Branch, vice-president; Nancy Wilson, treasurer; Winnie Roan, secretary. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FARMVILLE NEWS LETTER. (Mrs. George Hughes.) FARMVILLE, VA., September 8. The Welcome Home Celebration given in honor of our soldier boys here on Labor Day was a grand affair. The parade was clean and magnificent. The best ever seen, we are told in Farmville. The Mayor and the town officials reviewed the parade from the post office steps, although the crowd was dense, we have been informed by the officials of the town that it was the most orderly gathering of people of any color seen here. The conduct of our people was perfect in every respect. The excellent music rendered by the colored band from Petersburg, added much to this occasion. Our soldier boys were delighted and praised us highly for the splendid repast served at the armory. We also desire to give due credit to those whom honor is due. Mr. E S Clark, our blacksmith, Prof. Augustus Griggs, who delivered the eloquent address on that day and Rev. J. R. Augustus, chairman of the finance committee, were the originators of this grand celebration. These with the assistance of Rev. Wiley, our chairman, and the various committees worked incessantly and made this affair a splendid success. Therefore we heartily thank them and all who assisted in any way. The plans were drawn up by Prof. Augustus Griggs for the occasion and were readily accepted by our people, and carried out to the letter. The amount raised for the celebration was over $308.00 and of this amount Mrs. M. J. Augustus, the wife of Rev. Augustus raised the largest amount of any individual, bringing in over $45.00. Others bringing in creditable amounts were Mr. Germain Baker, Mrs. Annie May Brown and Mrs. Pearl Madden. Thus the race is still rising and as Prof. Griggs eloquently gald in his address "will soon greet the dawn of a perfect day." Mr. Philip Ward, chairman of the banquet committee and others of the committee, especially Mr. Samuel Watson and Mr. Nathaniel Griggs, deserve great credit. The Mothers' Council, of which Mrs. Lula Coles is chairman appeared to an advantage in the parade and donated a doughnut and a flower at each soldier's plate. The menu consisted of ham sandwiches, chicken, potato salad, plain and fruit cakes, lemonade and ice cream. Rev. J. W. Wiley, chief marshal of the parade very befittingly filled his place. The Red Cross Society, the Red Cross Nursing Class, consisting of five members, namely, Miss Jessie Cousins, Miss Amie Reid, Mrs. Jeannette Clarke, Miss Belle Jackson and Mrs. Helen Hughes took part in the parade and assisted at the banquet. The school children were in charge of Miss Cassandra Branch and played their part in a commendable manner. SERVICES AT BEULAH A. M. F. The services at Beulah Sunday were spiritual and successful financially. Rev. Augustus discussed in the morning from Exodus 12:13 "And when I see the blood I will pass over you." After this spiritual feast the pastor announced that a very distinguished lady was in our midst. He then introduced to us his mother, Mrs. Anna Augustus, who is stopping here with her son for a few days. The pastor's mother expressed herself as being glad to be in her son's Church and gave us some very helpful remarks, after which communion was served. At night we listened to another lively sermon from Philippians 4:4. "Rejoice in the Lod alway; and asay I say, rejoice." This joyful sermon made our hearts rejoice in the God of our salvation. We wish to announce to our members and friends also that our Full Rally will be on the fourth Sunday in September, at which time we hope to clear our Church from all indebtedness. We desire the assistance in this important effort of all members and friends. The funeral services of Mrs. Salera McKinsey, who died August 29, 1919 were held in the First Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Willey, assisted by various minister of the city. Before leaving the home prayer was offered by Rev. Augustus, pastor of the A. M. E. Church. While the body was being conveyed into the Church, Miss Jessie Cousin played, "Flee As a Bird to Yon Mountain." The first hymn was announced and read by Rev. Frank Ellis. The first Scripture lesson was read by Rev. Nelson Jordan, Jr. The obituary was read by Rev. Augustus Grigg. Prayer by Rev. Harvey. Mrs. Pearl Madden sang, "Angel, Get My Mansion Ready." Rev. Wiley used as a text Matthew 8:26. "And there was a great calm." He dealt with the subject, showing how a Christian can realize that calm even amid the trinns of this life. It closed speaking of the great calm there was in the deceased life—in 18th hour of death. Rev. Augustus then spoke of! meeting on being at the bedside of the deceased on Friday, before the change came that night. Rev. Grigg spoke of her in beautiful terms, having known her from his boyhood. While the casket was opened for friends to take a last look, the choir sang the favorite of the deceased, "Come Ye Disconsolate." The active palebearers were: Messrs. P. A. Ward Charlie Blue, George Wade, John Woodson and Dennis White. The floral bearers were: Miss Elle Steele. Mrs. Mary Coles, Ida Bolding Carrie Coles, Agnes Dean and Julia Brown. Mrs. McKinney died near the age of 73 years. She leaves to mourn their loss, two sons, two daughters, seven grandchildren and a host of friends.

[Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 30—Postponement of the meeting of the Lincoln League of America is announced at the office of the Executive Committee by the chairman, Robert R. Church. The office of the League here has been swamped with letters from all over the country and already there are more than a hundred applicants for local charters from as many cities. Many organizations established ed their name to the Lincoln League to gain economic freedom and political equality for the Negro have chang with permission of the Executive Committee. Perhaps the Lincoln League has done more to organize the Negro at the South than any agency since the war. An interview with Mr. Church brought out that one of the reasons for postponing the first big convention of the Lincoln League was the desire to hold it during the season when not only the Negro planner and business man but also the rank and file of the people might attend. Indications are that when the Lincoln League convenes it will be the biggest and most important meeting that the Negro has held since the Rebellion. TO HONOR LINCOLN. "After mature thought" announced Mr. Church the executive committee of the Lincoln League of America had decided to postpone the first convention from September 17 to Thursday, February 11, 1920. Calling what will be our largest convention on Lincoln's birthday will be a fitting celebration of the memory of the great Emancipator. The day and the vent will impress all the people as to what we are driving at. Since the Lincoln League will combine both the labor and the political fight of the Negro we had to listen to the colored labor leaders who desired the meeting postponed so that they could marshal their forces from ocean to ocean and interest the American Federation of Labor in the movement. Also the present season was conventioned to a ragged edge, and we thought it wise to allow a short season on of rest before calling on the Lincoln League. The short season between the proposed meeting and the day as finally set will also give a wider perspective to the big questions to be considered at the Chicago meeting. "There will be a Labor and Business Day, Political Emancipation Day, a Woman's Day and an American Day. On American Day the colored soldiers will be in charge and all that they feel like saying about France about the treatment they got will be heard. On the evening of the opening day in addition to the President's address a distinguished statesman will speak on Lincoln." This convention will be free from the domination of office holders and office seakers and the professional problem solvers. Open discussions will mark each session. Governor Lowde $ _{n} $ is expected to wel come the convention for Illinois and Mayor Thompson for Chicago. The chairman of the local committee is Robert S. Abbott editor of the De fender.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH WHIL INCREASE NEGRO EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN THE SOUTH. An appeal for redoubled effort in the education and training of the Negro has been issued in connection with the Nation-wide Campaign of the Episcopal Church. In a special report to the managers of the Campaign Rev. Dr. Robert W. Patton him self a Southern man and special representative of the American Church Institute for Negroes as well as National Director of the Nation-Wide Campaign says frankly: "The Great War has awakened the racial consciousness of the Negro as no other event in the history of the race. Their appeal today, and it is a growing and insistent appeal, is that we give them a chance through education and character training in the schools under the Church's direction to prove themselves worthy of their citizenship and of their inheritance as sons and daughters of the living God. They have purchased the right by their sacrifice of labor, of treasure and of blood. Will we refuse to pay the debt? Accordingly, in the mobilization of the resources of the Episcopal Church, preparatory to embarking upon a campaign for after the war service, it is announced that the programme of the Nation-wide as well as the Every Name Campaign, which is the contribution of the Diocese of New York to the movement, will embody enlarged and intensive plans for work among the Negro USE Reginall Cocoa Balm America's Greatest Hair Grower Ladies, Make Your Hair Long and Beautiful!

THE REGINALL LABORATORY, 161 Bell St., Atlanta, Ga A population. An idea of the nature of the work that is being done by the Church through its institute for Negroes is given in Dr. Patton's statement that scattered through the South are eight well-equipped schools—though all of them are capable of great improvement—in which Negro boys and girls are being trained "not only in Christian character and the regular grammar and high school features, but in special courses in the trades and industries, such as carpentry, masonry, printing, nursing, agriculture, cooking, dressmaking, etc." These eight schools are St. Paul's, at Lawrenceville, Va.; St. Augustine's at Raleigh, N. C.; the Fort Valley School, at Fort Valley, Ga.; the Payne Divinity School, at Petersburg, Va.; St. Athanasius' School, at Brunswick Ga.; St. Mark's at Birmingham, St. Mary's at Columbia, S. C. and the Vicksburg Industrial School, at Vicksburg, Miss. In a recent letter reviewing the work of the Church Institute for Negroes, the National Commissioner of Education, Hon. P. P. Claxton, wrote to Dr. Patton: "The work of the Episcopal Church through The American Church Institute for Negroes, has been especially helpful; and I wish to express my appreciation of the practical cooperation of your officers with us in our efforts to reduce unnecessary duplication of schools."*** To meet the present need for properly trained teachers and leaders of the Negro race we must look chiefly, for the present, and probably for many years to come; to Church schools and to private schools devoted to instruction above the elementary grades. Four or five times as many properly trained teachers as are now available from all sources as needed in the public schools for Negroes in the South. "I feel sure that The American Church Institute for Negroes and the General Board of Missions will be willing to make every sacrifice in their power to develop the efficiency and usefulness of their schools of this class in the interest not only of the Negroes themselves, but of the future progress and happiness of this section and of the safety of our Christian democracy." In urging that the Nation-wide and the Every Name managers make generous provision in their budgets for Negro work, Dr. Patton says: "Can we do justice in our international relations if we do not highly resolve to do larger justice to the numerous races under our own flag? Can America long, be a leader in pointing the way of peace beyond our borders if we have not discovered the way of peace within our own? America cannot remain at peace at home so long as there is withheld from any considerable number of her citizens the chance to prepare themselves to play their proper part in the great responsibilities of this new day."
