The prices, not Negro insurrection, as the the Me cans, of the trouble. The correspondent, whose standing Accord the Association vouches for, writes: the at "The whole trouble, as I understand it, started because a Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, was employed by simy or seventy colored families to go to Elaine and represent them in a dispute with the white planters relative to the sale price of cotton. The rumor is that the planters had organized to settle with the tenants for their cotton on a twenty-five cent basis, when in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Urtaton to represent them. A full statement by Mr. Bratton appears in some of the clippings I have sent. "This Federated Union of America is camouflage. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters." COMMUNITY HOUSE FOR COL ORED PEOPLE, INC. STATES ITS CASE. Practical Demonstration of Negro Charity and Welfare Work. What Will You Give? The Community House for Colored People, Inc., 2 W. Marshall Street has been a realization and a practical demonstration in the city of Richmond of Negro Charity and Welfare Work since January, 1919. Just one year ago this month, October, an appeal from its directors was made to the hearts of a generous public for donations and subscriptions that the house might be properly financed and put in running shape for the relief of suffering humanity in what ever form presented. Just how well this appeal was answered all the good people of Richmond know from official financial reports submitted at the close of the drive. The response was had the money received, acknowledged and the duties of the institution began. Some of the things it has done in the months now drawing to a close its first year— Maintained headquarters for charity, relief and welfare work among members of the race, to which hundreds have found the way, gathered information concerning these needs and conditions filling same for all nature reference and help; cooperated with all organizations possibly, in the dispensing of emergency and necessary relief and for the betterment of distressing conditions, afforded temporary shelter, sustenance and all ways possible, relief for those need and for transients. Used every possible means for the improvement of existing conditions in the matter of health education and industry, by the fullest cooperation with the following accredited agencies: Board of Health, the Anti Tuberculosis Association, L. V. N. Association, Virginia Hospital, Free Dispensary, Juvenile Court, Probation Officers, Travelers Aid Society, Public Employment, State Board Charities and Corrections, Associated Charities, City Board of Education and Churches of all denominations. Dispensed charities and succor to the aged, sick, blind, afflicted, the widow, orphan, deserted woman, the abandoned child, the stranded and angry man. Its prime motive and mission is to rehabilitate and make self-supporting families disrupted on the verge thereof, as well as the dispensing emergency relief, doling relief helps for an hour, finding and removing the cause effects a permanent cure, if there remains any foundation. In full cooperation with every outside State agency in facilitating its work of a similar nature and has received its fullest cooperation in turn. The institution has taken care of every Negro Charity Case applying to the Associated Charities, the same being referred to the House by its congregant. These are some of The propaganda published in the press about 'Negroes being armed to kill all white people and take their tarns away from them' is too ridicuous to be given any thought." The clipping referred to is from the Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal of Friday morning, October 3. According to U. S. Braffton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Negroos, therein quoted, his elites "claimed that it had been impossible for them to obtain itemized statements of accounts or in fact obtain statements at all and that the manager was preparing to ship their cotton, they being share croppers and having a half interest therein, off without settling with them or allowing them to sell their half of the crop and pay up their accounts. As we were informed, there were some 65 or 70 of these share croppers who desired us to represent them. If its a crime, to represent people in an effort to make honest settlements, then he has committed a crime. If this is a crime in a country where we have been spending our money and the lives of our boys to take the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means." the problems of the institution, its service and relief. Is the work worthy of your consideration and support? The conduct of the institution has been financed these past months solely from donations and free will offerings of the friends and the public contributed in the drive of last October. Net one cent has come to the work from any white organization condemned alike; similar lines, nor does the work as yet receive any part of the city government. Are you a friend to the work? You are being counted at one. Arrangements are being perfected for the annual financial drive that the philanthropic humane work may go on uninterrupted during these winter months now approaching. Will you who read and your friends whom you may tell, hold yourselves, member of both races, in readiness to respond willingly, freely and liberally to this cause, which is the cause of every citizen of the community?

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919. IS THAT SO? STUP, I SAY, THEY SHALL NOT PASS. PROGRESS JUST Manny Photo Shoot Grull Bark Jouland-19- AGREES WITH BEA REGARD I MOSELE, OF CHICAGO --- Clarksville, Va., October 13, 1949 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Editor, Richmond Planet. LARBOR, Richmond Planet. Sir. Allow me space in your valuable paper to comment on the letter of explanation, written by Mr. Beau-regard Moseley, published in The Planet in the issue of October 14, in which I think he vindicated himself admirably. We as an infant race should never resort to bad feeling towards the white race for several reasons. First of all we should cultivate Christian love toward all men, On this himes the doors of peace. As Mr. Moseley stated in his letter that economically this is a white man's country. No matter who he took it from, it is not our duty and certainly it is not in our power to mute justice or injustice. I am aware we have some bad white people to deal with and to deal with them effectually is to go slow and be rational. Let God be our leader. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. Proverbs 11:5. In this we should take heed best we fall. As Mr. Moseley further says: "What is it to do fifteen million to headlong against one hundred million without resource without courage, of right and to fall or be exterminated? That would be the results if we should follow some of our blind leaders, such as The Crisis and many other race presidents that use glaring bedlines against the white people just for the money that such 'ads' will demand among ignorant and the vile. Now I am not concerning my race because no race has out-stopped us in progress in such short space of this little freedom. But I want to show 'to you and those who may chance to read this that through Jesus Christ all things are made possible. As I am a constant reader of your paper, I can say I prize you as one of the best editors and race leaders that our race has today. You are calm and deliberate, never excitable in your articles published through your paper, which always point the race to higher things. With thanks beforehand I hope you will allow space for the publication of this article. Begging to be excused for my long space and time consumed, JUDGE HARRISON AT EBENEZER SUNDAY NIGHT. Hear Judge William H. Harrison formerly of Oklahoma, but now of Chicago, HI. will deliver an address Sunday, October 19, 1919, eight P.M. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. This distinguished speaker will deliver an address that will be the equal of any ever heard in Richmond. Do not lose th. opportunity to hear this eloquent race man. Be on time Excellent music.

The armistice was signed, so we had little to do. So I tried every effort to get in touch with you. No one seemed to know of your whereabouts. So my mind was always left in doubt. I never heard of you until I reached the States. And then I heard of your dreadful face. And when I received the official news for two months or more, I had the blues.

Fears That Suppression May Inflame Alcady Rebellious Spirit. Washington, October 8.—The soft pedal has been put on the fight against journals of our race, claimed by*Senator Byrnes of South Carolina to be seditions. The arguments in the attack on these papers were to the effect that they were radical in the extreme and dangerous in their tendency to renew bloody outbreaks between the white and black races. Representative McDuffie of the First Alabama District, incensed by the contents of several publications, interviewed the Postmaster General in an effort to secure the suppression of these periodicals. He pointed out a cartoon representing a man driving an automobile through masses of fleeing whites, the colored man driving and shooting into the frantic crowds. Men falling were soldiers wearing service stripes. He pointed out editorials in which the Editor congratulated our people for their successful opposition to mobs in Washington and Chicago. He also pointed out a paragraph in which it was said that in certain emergencies "a bullet is far more, efficacious than a thousand prayers." BURLESON CALLED Postmaster General Burleson was interviewed by Mr. McDuffie. He agreed with Mr. McDuffie that the publications were inflammatory. Regarding the interview the Alabama member said: "The Postmaster General told me that he had been considering and was still considering the advisability of denying the mails of The Messenger, published at 2305 Seventh Avenue, New York City. He stated also that the Attorney General was also giving thought to the subject. He then declared that the President had suggested that no such action be taken at the present time. It is evidently another case of 'watchful waiting.' The Postmaster General was entirely sympathetic, for he feels, of course, just as all other Southern men feel." DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TRIED From the Postmaster General, Mr. McDuffie went to Mr. Lamar of the Department of Justice, who is also an Alabamian, Mr. Lamar stated that he was giving this periodical "earnest consideration." He clearly stated that he was bewildered because if any action was begun to suppress this paper the best argument would be on the side of the paper. PAPERS HAVE BEST FIGHT It was brought out in the course of the interview with Mr. Lamar that although he was opposed to the publishing or these papers, they could in any contest of their right to publication state that they were simply attacking the lynching evil. This, or course, is a very embarrassing question in Washington, Mr. Lamar stated his opinion that these journals would arouse considerable sympathy in the North. WILSON REFUSES TO ACT The matter was brought to the attention of President Wilson, who postponed any drastic action, Mr. McDuffie withheld a statement setting forth his opinion as to why the President suggested a postponement of action against the radical press. In all probability, however, the President was moved through fear of the "unrest" which prevails everywhere in the United States. It was probably his opinion that it would be wiser to suffer the danger of such publications precipitating other riots throughout the United States than to force the radical element of the North into the ranks of rebellious policemen striking labor, pro-German agitators sheopless I. W. W's, extreme Socialists and professional anarchists. The prevailing opinion in Washington is that the action of the President is due to the danger of Sovietism, Bolshevism and actual revolution in the United States. The President, it is indicated, is moved through desire to compose the discordant elements rather than crush them with an iron hand. There are many members of Congress who believe the President on the proper track. There are others who compare his course in the present emergency to his course in dealing with Mexico, a course, apparently characterized by a lack of 'punch' and aggressiveness in general. RINGLING BROTHERS AND BAR- NUM AND BAILEY. Mammoth Shows Are Now Combined. And Announce Exhibitions at Early Date. The world's biggest amusement institution. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Dailey Shows Combined, is to exhibit afternoon and night at Richmond, Wednesday October 27. The consolidation of the "World's Greatest Shows" and the "Greatest Show on Earth" in one circus of colossal size, constitutes the amusement surprise of the country. Nothing to approach this gigantic, new circus has ever before uured America. It has been formed by merging the pick and the cream of all that was biggest and best in the two fam ous shows. It would be folly to attempt to enumerate its many wonders. Some idea of the enormous scale upon which features are presented may be had when it is stated that a quarter of a million pounds of elephants take $ _{6} $ part in a single act; in other words—six times as many of the big-eared giants than have ever before been seen in one main-tent exhibition. All else to be seen is in proportion The arenie stars embrace all the world's foremost circus performers. There are three hours of novelties and big sensational acts. The menag erie is far and away the most colossal ever traveled. For instance—a herd of eight giraffes are exhibited in place of the two or three shown in the past. The great tournament which opens the main-tent program, is the most magnificent thing in pageantry yet produced in America. Hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeously costumed characters and beautiful horses take part in it. The morning street parade is the longest and most brilliant ever given anywhere. It is a stubendous supercircus that baffles description. DR. MOTON PLEADS FOR RACE IN THE SOUTH. Florence, Alabaman, October 11, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, has just completed a five day tour of the Tennessee Valley, in the interests of education. Dr. Moton was accompanied by a party of educators, Government agents and business men, who made the trip in automobiles, covering a distance of about five hundred miles. Meetings were held in Rosenwald schools, churches and courthouses, and were largely attended by whites and colored. In all, thirteen places were visited and as many addresses made. In his remarks, Dr. Moton spoke directly to each race. He urged the colored people to be proud of their race, to be more efficient in their work, and to cooperate with the best elements of white people. Each man must decide for himself, he said about going North or staying South, but that the great majority of the race would find their best opportunities right here in the South. He spoke plainly and directly to the whites in his audience and said they could help relieve the present unrest by letting their colored neighbors know that they believed in them and would stand by them; by protecting the innocent members of the race from violence and lawlessness, and by helping to put an end to the abuses from which colored people suffer in railroad travel. Colored people, he said, did not want to associate with white people, but did want equal accommodations for equal pay. The party was cordially received throughout the trip and Dr. Moton was warmly thanked by both white and colored people for his words and his visit. MEMORANDUM My position on the recent riots was stated in the communication which I sent to the New York World August 2nd. In that communication I said: "The time has come when thoughtful full white and colored people alike will not tolerate wholesale mobbing of innocent Negroes because of the alleged crime of one. The Negro has never instigated a riot by wholesale attacks on white people. The very fact that in riots the innocent have so frequently been obliged to suffer with the guilty has created in the Negro an aggressive and vindictive spirit which manifested itself in the riots. One of the most unfortunate things about such occurrences is that it frequently hurts the morale of the conservative, law-abiding Negroes and puts them of necesity actively on the defensive. Those who make and execute the laws owe it to themselves to their country as well as to the Negro to see that the Negro has protection along with 'other citizens. It is hard for the average Negro to understand how we can spend millions of dollars and thousands of lives to help protect the lives of weaker peoples in foreign countries, yet fail to protect our own loyal, patriotic colored citizens in this country." R. R. MOTON. MOTHER'S HOME TO BE PERMANENT ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL. New York, October 16.—Leading Southernners, including United States Senators, have joined in an organized movement to make the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt's mother the famous old Bullock homestead at Roswell, Ga., a permanent Roosevelt memorial. Both the Georgia Senators, Hoke Smith and William J. Harris, as well as former Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, all of whom were active political opponents of the late President, are leaders in the movement. The Bullock committee is composed of one member from each Southern State and is headed by Dr. Floyd W. McRae, of Atlanta. It has the cooperation of C. W. McClure, a Roosevelt Progressive, who is State chairman in Georgia for the Roosevelt Memorial Association, and of E. Y. Clarke, director of the Georgia campaign of the Association. The birthplace of Martha Bullock, a Southern gentlewoman famous for her beauty and charm, who supported the Southern cause in the sixties, although the wife of a Northerner and living in New York, is a venerable mansion of the Southern colonial type in a typical Georgia plantation setting at Roswell, near Atlanta. The old mansion was often visited by Roosevelt. Roosevelt was always popular in Georgia. His devotion to his Southern mother had much to do with this sentiment toward him, but his principles of Americanism made him many admirers among those who did not belong to his party.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....0.66 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.56 SATURDAY...OCTOBER 18, 1919 Some people mistake laziness for sickness. Having an aim in life $e$ is more than half of life. Money made by the easy route $e$ will go the same way. Grumbling sometimes does good, but too much of it does harm. Colored folks learned to fight long ago, practicing upon each other. Trying to live upright is a difficult task and living crooked is beset with more trouble. Quarreling is sometimes a neces. sary evil, but as a general proposition it should be avoided. Sunshine and shadows, one follows the other throughout the lifetime of every individual. Some men almost die to get a wife and then they almost make the wife die in order to get rid of her. Some people will not do right. They were born crooked and they insist upon walking and acting that way. People are still marrying and giving in marriages. People are still divorcing themselves and still getting divorces. Some folks will not work and some folks will not play. They just want to loaf and they are experts at that kind of business. Some women give men trouble and some men give women more trouble; both manage to get together and stay together somehow. We cannot have everything we want or keep away from ourselves everything we do not want, but we can live happily if we try. As you live in this world and your life companions pass away, a feeling of loneliness takes possession of you that is indescribable. When some folks get a little money ahead, they feel sick and cannot work until they have expended the last cent of the amount accumulated. Steady work will break down the best constitution and therefore recreation is needed, but some folks want recreation all the time. People, who die will live again, but if some of them thought they would have to live in this world, they would not want to live again. In slavery time, when a person would not work, that person was forced to take a heavy dose of castor oil and calomel. As a result, few people were sick. Some would work when they were sick. No one likes that kind of medicine. We can all pray while we work, but there is no need to stop work to pray. God is a lover of industry and not much an admirer of idleness. Prayer is all right, but some peo ple spend more time on their knees praying to God for certain things than they do on their feet working to get them. Some people spend ninety percent of their time in talking and about ten percent of their time in doing. The result is that they are always behind. Three of the great nations have ratified the Peace Treaty and it is now announced that we have peace in the world, but the fighting is going on. Every person should get married and get an automobile. Then hell will have no terrors for them. They will have gotten used to all kinds of trouble. This has been a "hecyday" for cranks and theorists, but the thought, ful people have about decided that this class of people have had their innings and must get out. People who elect to the chief office little men with little minds or big men with little intellect, must pay the price by having the organization in endless trouble. Do not forget that. Good-timers are still with us. They like dancing, card parties and picnics and they usually abhor the church. As a rule they are devotees of sickness and the physician's car or buggy is usually seen at the door. The high cost of living ander judicial investigation and prosecution by the officials of the Department of (in)Justice mounts to higher levels, while the appropriations made by the Government disappear in little or no time. Those people, who are endeavoring to arouse public sentiment in behalf of the Armenians in Turkey and the Jews in Russia are seriously embarrassed by the burning of American citizens of color at the stake in Georgia and other Southern States. Colored men, do not even look in the direction of a white woman when you pass them, either on the street or on the road. Some of these white men seem to have gone "blind crazy" about their women. There are enough white colored women to satisfy any colored man in the United States of America. We know this for one of these white men are after them, too. The National Race Congress held at Washington, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last week was a success. President W. H. Jernagin presided and some of the ablest colored men in this country were in attendance. Colored folks are gradually getting together, even if they do make a lot of fuss after they do so. A Georgia mob destroyed the church buildings of the colored people at Cordole, Georgia a few weeks ago and now the white people, who took no part in the destruction have held a mass.meeting in the Court house there and proceeded to put up $2,500 to purchase the material for rebuilding the structures, with the colored people agreeing to do the work of rebuilding. There are two classes of white people in the Southland, the good and the bad. If the good white people had been on the ground at the time with rifles and shot-guns, the buildings would not have been destroyed and no valuable lives would have been destroyed. Had any of the mob leaders been killed, worthless lives would have been snuffed out and the community would have been better off. The country is in a state of unrest and some people say that it is bordering on a revolution. Certainly, the industrial forces are making demands that will lead to a radical change in our Government, if they can have their way. The colored people of the United States are not satisfied either and the inability of the national government to afford protection in either the States or in THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the territories of this Republic and the indisposition of many of the States to suppress mob violence, is the subject of deep concern to all law-abiding citizens of this Republic. Conditions indicate that it will soon become a fact that every man will be for himself and God for us al if the lawless elements continue their work in many parts of this great country of ours. Prayer is a great weapon and the Christian people are welding it. Firearm; are great weapons, it, and many citizens of this country are welding them too. Lynch law must go' PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON'S CONDITION. It has been said that "Man proposes and God disposes." However that may be it does seem in the nature of a calamity that just as he was in the midst of a most important part of the settlement of the disputes incident to the conclusion of the World War that President Woodrow Wilson should be stricken down. His malady is peculiarly embarrassing both to his friends and his enemies and to that great body of American people, who have not as yet taken sides in the great controversy now raging relative to the approval of the pact agreed upon in the Peace Conference relative to the League of Nations. The medical men attending President Wilson allege that he is suffering from a nervous breakdown, whatever that may mean and that his mental faculties have not been affected. Just how the nerves, which generate in the brain can be discussed without affecting the parent body, is on for peculiar consideration. Be that as it may, the Chief Executive of the Nation is not permitted to see any one and he is not permitted to transact any business. Just how long this condition can obtain is a mystery. The medical fraternity do not furnish any information while the gossipers are furnishing all of the information desired. It is to be regretted that this distinguished statesman is disabled for an indefinite time. It is surprising that he has been able to keep up as long as he has succeeded in doing. Vice-President Marshall is not saying anything, but he is evidently anxious and willing to discharge the duties of President. There can hardly be any love lost between himself and the President of the United States in view of the manner in which he has been ignored and treated during the last four years. THE "TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT." $W_{c}$ read with some interest and much amusement the account of the organization of colored people in Southern Phillips County, Arkansas for the purpose of slaughtering white people and the alleged statement that these colored people were incited to do this by white men. An alleged confession by certain colored people named October 6, 1919 as the date of the uprising. We are free to admit that we did not believe a word of it as we know the colored folks. They might plan an uprising in Egypt, or in India, or in Africa, but not in any State in the Southland, where such an uprising is known to bring sure death to the "uprisers." The following statement has been sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "The whole trouble, as I understand it, started because a Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, was employed by sixty or seventy colored families to go to Elaine and represent them in a dispute with th$_{2}$ white planters relative to the sale price of cotton. The rumor is that the planters had organized to settle with the tenants for their cotton on a twenty-five cent basis, when in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Bratton to represent them. A full statement by Mr. Bratton appears in some of the clippings I have sent. "This Federated Union of America is camouflage. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters. The propaganda published in the press about 'Negroes being armed to kill all white people and take their farms away from them' is too ridiculous to be given any thought." The clipping referred to is from the Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal of Friday morning, October 3. According to U. S. Bratton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Negroes, therein quoted, his clients "claimed that it had been impossible for them to obtain itemized statements of accounts or in fact obtain statements at all and that the manager was preparing to ship their cotton, they being share croppers and having a half interest therein, off without settling with them or allowing them to sell their half of the crop and pay up their accounts. As we were informed, there were some 65 or 70 of these share croppers who desired us to represent them. If its a crim₀ to represent people in an effort to make honest settlements, then he has committed a crime. If this is a crime in a country where we have been spending our money and the lives of our boys to make the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means." Another misrepresentation of the colored people is exploded. Colored people are not given to either revolutions, uprisings or strikes. White people seem to be given, or at least some of them seem to be given, to misrepresenting and maligning one of the kindiest races of people on the face of the globe. ^GENTC. BEDFORD, VA. R. M.

THE PLAYER SATURDAY...OCTOBER 18, 1919 LINCOLN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PLEDGES $10,000.00. New York Alumnae Will Help to Make Lincoln One of the Greatest Universities in America. On Tuesday evening, September 9th a meeting was held at the home of the recently nominated Aldermanche candidate, Dr. Charles H. (Roberts attended by some of New York most prominent colored physicians, clergy men, lawyers and citizens. The meeting was called by Dr. E. P. Roberts and Prof. William H. Johnson; its purpose being to devise plans for making Lincoln University, in Pennsylvania the foremost Negro College in the world and one of the best equipped Universities in the country. The aim in addition is to develop the spirit of fellowship and affection among the graduates of this school, who in New York City as elsewhere through the country stand at the top in medicine, ministry, law and social service. One thousand dollars was pledged by five of the men present and the New York State Alumni pledged themselves to raise ten thousand dollars in aid of the extension drive now being conducted by the University. Among the speakers were Rev. Drs. L. E. Holden and Robert Watson, prominent white preachers of the city, who spoke carnally of the progress of the Negro and of the nobility of the present effort. Among other speakers were Dr. E. P. Roberts; Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon; Hon. John Clifford Hawkins, Assemblyman from the Harlem District; Rev. Frank M. Hyder; Prince L. Edwards and John D. Saunders. The Association was organized as follows: President Dr Leo Fitz Nearon; Vice President Hon. John Clifford Hawkins; Treas. Rev. J. W. Brown, Pastor of Mother M. E. Church; Secretary Prince L. Edwoods who is in charge of the N. Y. State Employment Bureau, 135th Street. On the executive committee are Dr. Frank M. Hyder pastor of the St. James Presbyterian Church; Drs. E. P. Roberts, A. A. Kollogg; Chas. H. (Roberts); Albert S. Reed; John D. Saunders and Andrew M. Robinson. It is planned to organize other local groups on similar lines so as to reach all of the more than 1,200 Lincoln University Alumni throughout the country. The University has just opened for its sixty-fifth session, September 23rd 1919, with the largest entering class in its history. THE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTH. In a letter from Atlanta to the Boston Evening Transcript and other papers, Carl W. Ackerman gives, a good distinction between the way the Negro is treated in the South and in other parts of the country. In his letter he presented the matter in the following light: "We were speaking with a merchant about the Negro problem. The race question was not particularly acute, but the citizens were vigilant. 'We have solved the Negro problem in the South, said the merchant, be cause we don't pay any attention to the Negro as a race, but we would go to hell for him as an individual. In the North you champion him as a race, but hate him as an individual.' "The Negro is the safeguard of the South, said a bank president, be cause we understand him and he understand us." The merchant who characterized the difference between the North and the South in handling the Negro problem stated the case very accurately. In the North the Negro race is looked at from the long distance point of view of philanthropical interest; but individually the North does not want the Negro around. On the other hand the South wants the Negro, recognizes his good qualities as well as his bad qualities, and as an individual protects him, gives him work, and will defend him to the utmost so long as he behaves himself. The race problem however, is a problem of the entire country. Each section must bear with the other in studying this problem, for it is a problem that rests heavily upon every section. For the good of the country it will be very much better for the Negro race to be more widely scattered in order that the North and the west may through personal contact learn more in regards to the difficulties under which the South labors in solving so stupendous a problem. But the South wants the Negro and the North does not. Manufacturers Record.

Robinson GROCERIES 623 NORTH THIRD STREET Richmond, Virginia Phone, Madison 3038 THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD: There are $ _{0} $ 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 got discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and got a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quizado is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the $ _{0} $ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an export 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 Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggrist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.
