NUMBER 17 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1930 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS Au Prince George County—Rohemians Are Loyal—An Interesting Recital. I left Richmond last Saturday for Prince George, County, Va., and I was accompanied by Dr. E. R. Jefferson, Dr. Albert A. Tenant, R. C Mitchell, John R. Cogill and Robinson Davis. Arriving at Petersburg, I saw coming down the street, J. E. Williamson, who was late in getting to the car Line. We went to the station to take the Camp Lee car and found that we would necessarily wait nearly an hour before a car would leave as one had just gone. Mrs. Lucy A. Poters came shortly afterwards. Lam cheon was secured. When the Camp Lee car came we were ready to go. TOO MANY FOR THE CAR. We had gone but short distance out of the city, when we were joined by W. T. Stokes of Petersburg. There was nothing to mar the trip. We soon arrived at Camp Lee which now has a deserted appearance. When we digitized at the 27th Street station, we saw two Ford cars, Mr. Crockett seemed to be in charge of them. We had with us nine passengers. Two of them had much weight. Just as we were starting off, Ribinson called for us to stop. He had been unicated in the second car as the caution, and he had a weak spring and could not carry six persons, so a transfer was made. Robinson sitting on the front seat in what was understood to be Dr. Tennant's lap. MANY THERE We had come but a short distance, when Chauffeur Crockett observed that the other Ford car was not in sight. As it did not show up after we had waited some time, I advised him to go on and then we could come back for him as I was to leave the party and return to Richmond as early as possible. We arrived at the church where the Ladies had gathered. We then found out that the left rear wheel was about to come off the car in which we had been riding. Robinson assisted in fixing this wheel. Then ame the other car with Dr. Jefferson, Dr. Tennant, John R. Cogill, J. E. Williamson and W. T. Sokes. TWO PUNCTURES They reported that they had two punctures. Dr. Jefferson was wrapped up just as though he was about to take a trip to the North Pole. All were in good humor and the residents began to arrive more rapidly when the church bell had been rung. It was not long before I began the return trip with Mr. Crockett at the wheel and with Robinson at his side. I had nine miles to go. I had not gone more than two miles before I saw a wagon and a horse going at a rapid rate. Mr. Crockett observed that he lived the other side of Prince George Court House. I suggested that he hail him and find out if he could take me to Camp Lee. THE BLIND HORSE TRAVELS He did so and it was not long be fore I was out of the car in W. A. Harrison's store. Mr. Harrison treated to soft drinks. I found out that the driver of the wagon, who was also the owner was Willie Goodwin. He is a carpenter and a contractor and he does much work for the farmers in that section, most of whom are Bohemians. When it comes to taking a car and a horse to make a train, I laughingly told him, give me the horse. On those rough roads the horse was making almost as fast time as the car. "That horse is blind," he said. I was dumfounded. He spoke of the remarkable character of the Bohemians, two of whom had stopped him on the road to talk with him. WOULD PAY THE BILL. He had two hundred dollars worth of work for a Bohemian, who because his wife died attempted to committ suicide. He had written to Mr. Goodwin that he would be out of the hospital soon, and would come back to Police George and pay him. Other Bohemians had offered to pay the bill if he would only get a letter from the about Bohemian to pay him. I never saw people who stick together so. As we passed a couple on the road, he told me that both of them had been in jail for making and selling corn Honor. The High Sheriff had gone to the house and arrested his wife and after carrying her to jail had waited to get him COLORED FOLKS AND A FIRE They spent several months, in jail but were now out again working hard. He spoke too of the store-keeper at Prince George C. H., who had made a remark to a white man in his presence, when he saw the white man go to the fire that he went to the fire just like a "nigger." He did not like it and he showed his displeasure. He reminded a white friend that he never saw him go to a fire unless it was cold enough for any one to go there. I was nearing Camp Lee. Then Mr. Goodwin told of his experiences. He had been North, East and West, visiting New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and other cities. A NARROW ESCAPE He had marrowly escaped being killed in a eave in being laid up for about two months. During the war, he had assisted in hospital work. He described the amputation of limbs, stating that the flesh had to be thrown back and the bone sawed off about eight inches up so that the flesh could be drawn over it. He declared the human flesh to be the toughest thing in the world to sew. It must be done with forceps. I cannot lift much now as the result of my injury. I found out that Goodwin did not be long to the Prohibition Party and that his views were open and above broad in favor of the liberty of the thirst and the appetite, especially on a cold, trotty morning. A LONE COLORED PASSENGER When I drove up to the station, I saw the car coming and a few moments later, I was on my way to Petersburg, the only colored passenger on the car, thinned both front, rear and sideways. By a crowd of white soliders, who were on the way to the city, I was in time to catch the Kick hold car and heard much talk by the colored passengers. I arrived at the Planet Office shortly after. 8 P. M. Saturday night. As for the other members of the party, they came into Kick mood about one o'clock that same night. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. GENERAL WOOD CHAMPIONS THE CAUSE OF COLORED AMERICANS Indianapolis, Ind. March 1, — The immortal Lincoln ind. the first great American to deal in jelly with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalities for our advancement as full fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door of equality to his colored breath or when he stood for a square deal to all men regardless of race or color. Booker T. Washington dined with him even though the whole country put up a howl. But now he has been taken from our midst. God in his wise providence, however, has not left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leonard Wood, the greatest living American to lead His people. You know we need never be disheartened for we are God's children. Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League saying: "Today the important thing is Law and Order. There is no group that stands for Law and Order more than you colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal! rights! There should have equal rights. There should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation we should have a free and untranmueled United States." Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and any candidate for president who does not publicly state his position on the race question cannot expect the Colored vote. General Woods will be the next great republican leader if two millions of colored voters have anything to say about it. "A second 'Teddy' folks: a second Teddy." Any man or woman twenty one years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing first to the National Colored People's Wood-forPresident Club, Indianapolis, Ind., for literature, buttons and other free instructions. This is an opportunity for colored men and women to proxy a General Wood that they want a man for President who will give every America can black or white a Square Dept. In Memory. SIMMES in loving remembrance of my dear sister, Julia Simms, who departed this life one year ago, Marcel 4, 1919: (Gone but not forgotten. MARY L. WALKER. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920 PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE AT LYNCHBURG In my recent article concerning the local schools my thoughts were particularly guided by the facts concerning the conditions at the Payne Building, where to enter as a colored college graduate means a complete drop from the Educational horizon so far as the Lynchburg Colored School is concerned. It is not so much my desire to pass on the quality of the teachers employed in the system as to give upon the system itself which is to be considered. A goodly number of colored people who think upon civic matters wonder why a white person has to act in the capacity of principal in the graded schools for colored people. It is a known fact that the white principals used in said schools show no more capabilities than so many of our race found in this community. Regarding the would be high school for our people in this city one only has to view the four room and the two tracelest make shift of a room in an antiquated structure on Jackson St. and make a comparison of curtains and building with the one on Parra Avenue for the water of this city and draw conclusions. The system has seen fit at this time to offer the pupils an extra year or training which is intended to convey the idea of a regular four year high school course and this has been done by stretching out the former three year course over a period of four years. No effort is made to teach the following high school subjects, book keeping, French or Spanish, Chemistry, English History, Civics and Psychology. No laboratory facilities or equipment. Just imagine a high school course with the principal subject dropped from the curriculum on account of the high school failing to be what it should represent a graduate from it is accreted with only two years of work, wherein they think they are completing a four year course, thereby wasting two years in a misguided way. To accept of teachers with no more training than this is a gross injustice to the colored citizens. It was the thing of the past, but we are asking for things in keeping with the times. In the occasion of the colored schools was brought to their mines, I am sure conditions would be improve, but I appear that matters concerning the colored schools are discriminatory with the Superintendent who has served Got, well so many years. Manual Training has been dropped from the colored schools at this writing notwithstanding there are a number of available colored teachers capable of teaching that work. I have learned that the graduates from the Virginia institutes were more acceptable than those with Grade 1 training. Is this due to the fact that the State fail to give its orded citizens an education on a par with that offered its other citizens and in lieu of said education places the seal of approval on those who are educated after the plan of the state for its colored citizens, there by discounting the value of the colored teacher trained at a Grade 1 in citation? Apropos the question of knuckling which seems to burden the minds of some of the brilliant teachers I shall leave for the public's consideration. The specific cases of awarding positions on account of influences working in behalf of their proteges instead of consideration of qualifications of the applicants has been prevalent for a great length of time in this community. One is compelled to wonder why a teacher of efficiency should pay tribute to her principal by the presentation of gifts, and other valuables too numerous to mention. Efficiency is its own reward and it should feel secure in the maintenance of her position by sheer merit and the support of the community. The bearing of gifts breaks down the morale of any system and we have found out that the most liberal donors were the least efficient. We would like to know if a certain white principal has ever taken the time to place before the ever young of my race the fact of the glories and achievements of some of our races celebrates. Toussaint I. Ouvreau, Pushkin, Dumas, Phyllis, Wheeler, Paulamin Bapneker, Debbie's Katie Miller and many other. Probably by no, but she has given a full class of children with this occasion "How many of you sleep with your stockings on, and your head under the eyelid, and other such necessities which could easily be contributed by other lighting and helpful training. For the children who pass from the control of the white principal in the created schools into the control of the white principal and her assistants all whites in the high school serves to keep fresh in the minds of the color youth the idea of racial backwardness and unless the youth is the er- optional type race consciousness school ever develops to the-point of pride. In conclusion I wish to state that there are a few who are using their ability and womanly qualification in the system here as teachers and we are only sorry that their number is so small to the others, as conscience crickets them try and become as should be their duty to the race and posterity teachers and not "puppets." Again, the facts of knuckling will not down and if one wishes the knowledge f specific cases we shall be pleased to cite for them with special emphasis upon that of the officious and commanding subordinate deputed bearer who is rewarded by an unmerited grading as a teacher. F. V. BACCHUS, of Va. REV. RANSOM HERE. Rev. R. C. Ransom, of New Jersey, editor of the A. M. E. Review, will preach at Third Street Bethel A. M. E.

THE MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK FIRE DAMAGE The fire at the Mechatnes Savings Bank did not stop business, but it seriously inconvenienced the already overworked employees in doing business. The Central National Bank sent offers of assistance and Mrs. Margie L. Walker, President of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank called in person, expressed sympathy and made offers of assistance. The damage will exceed ten thousand dollars. Contractor D. J. Farrar has been busy closing in the structure. The plate glass windows were broken and cracked. These were insured. The main fire seems to have been back of the President's Office. The fine mahagey five foot desk was practically destroyed. The vault was discolored, but in no wise injured permanently. The machines were in most cases irreparably injured. Con tractors will be given out at once for the repair work and when the same is completed, the Mechanics Bank will be even more attractive than it was before. The insurance carried upon the building covers burdary fire, theft, plate glass breakouts. The building proper is insured in the Mutual Insurance Society on Ninth and Main Streets. It has not been definitely ascertained as to the cause of the fire taking place as it did about midnight. The fire Department seeing to be of the opinion that it was caused by defective wiring. THE PYTHIAN ANNIVERSARY The annual Thanksgiving Exercises of the Knights of Pythias in Virginia will be observed Sunday March 29th. Arrangements are being made for a grand time throughout the State. The District Deputy Grand Chancellors and committees from the subordinate lodges will make arrangements for the game. OPPER OF TRUE REPRESENTERS MAKING RAW PROCESS Over Quarter Million Dollars Paid In Death Claims Since October, 1918 The Order of True Reformations by the Rev. Woe, W. Growing, who was the mkekeological financial Moses of the Rise, is certainly mastering splendid progress as announced in a statement by its Grand Master, Mr. W. S. Woodson, published in the Order's Organ, The Reformer, under date of February 11th. The statement is certainly proseworthy and merits for the Order the commendation of the three. It discloses that on an indemnity of $140,912.25, in death claims, accumulated by the Order since October 1910, including $165,000, 90, die and impair at that time, $606,000 has been paid through August, 1919 and only leaves a balance due to be paid of $74,919.25. This is indeed a remarkable admixture and clearly demonstrates that the Order is determined to overcome its embarrassment due to the failure of its bank in 1910. It also shown that if the members who dropped out of the Order on account of said embarrassment, had kept their covariant, not one penny would now be owing by the Order. The Order is now operating a place to wipe out the balance due on death claims within the next three years and it deserves the support of the Races. The plan is to raise $25,000, a year for three years, beginning with September, 1919, and each member of the Brotherhood is requested to raise $5,000 a year by adding at least two new members or by securing the revival of the old policy of at least one ex-member. Already since September 19, 1919, through February 11th, 1920, 421 new and revived members have been added to the Order and $4440.64 collected for the Elsasgency fund, out of white aid and past one death chants are being paid. Prominent among the ex-members who rejoined the Order in 1919 to help redeem it to the Race and who are engaged in similar work for Race Uplift were; Mrs. Margie L. Walker, Secretary Treasurer of the Right Worthy Grand Council, L.O. of St. Luke; Mr C. A. Puryear, Head of the Order of the St. John Watchmen and Rev. De R. V. Peyton, pastor of the Sixth Mt Zion Baptist church who is also a member of the Board of Directors. The Grand Master's statement also explains in detail how the exemplemens can revive their old policies at greatly reduced rates. It does seem, therefore, that all eligible exemplemens could to take immediate advantage of it. It states that exemplemens up to 55 years of age can revive their old policies for $2.20; from 55 to 60 years, $6.40; and from 60 to 70 years, $9.60. Persons who have never been members can join the Order for $2.50 from 16 to 50 years of age and $0.00 from 16 to 60 years of age. Richmond division branch is planing a special drive to end the 2nd of April, 1920 and it is hoped that by this time every exemplem of said branch will be ready to return to the fold. THE PLANET LATM Owing to repairs to our press the Planet for February 21, 1920 was unusually late. We did not get to press until Saturday and did not mail subscribers papers until the following Tuesday. Other weeks, the delay has been due to the Post Office. Planets are usually mailed to agents Thursday night of each week and sometimes Thursday afternoon. These papers should be in New York and Boston on Saturdays, but they rarely get there. The postage on Newspapers is about double what it used to be and the service is doubly unsatisfactory. Some city subscribers receive their Planets until Monday. These are put into the Post Office here Friday before 2 P. M. In addition to this, we have had to get Newspaper at three times the former price and we are now using what we can get to meet our d mands. Things will be better when we get to heaven and sometimes we wish we were on our way there. --- CHARLES S. MORRIS, JR. HERM Mr. Chas S.

GILBS B. JACKSON, Gil North Second’ Strest. A Copy, ‘Toho: ILL MOBY, Cherk, THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXVII, NUMBER 17 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS In Prince George County—Bohemians Are Loyal—An Interesting Recital. I left Richmond last Saturday for Prince George County, Va., and I was accompanied by Dr. E. R. Jefferson, Dr. Albert A. Teemant, R. C. Mitchell, John R. Cogbill and Robinson Davis. Arriving at Petersburg, I saw coming down the street, J. E. Williamson, who was late in getting to the car line. We went to the station to take the Camp Loo car and found an hour before an hour before a car would leave as one had just gone. Mrs. Lucy A. Poters came shortly afterwards. Luncheon was secured. When the Camp Loo car came we were ready to go. TOO MANY FOR THE CAR. We had gone but short distance out of the city, when we were joined by W. T. Stokes of Petersburg. There was nothing to mar the trip. We soon arrived at Camp Leo, which now has a deserted appearance. When we alighted at the 27th station, we saw two Ford cars. Mr. Crockett seemed to be in charge of them. We had with us nine passengers. Two of them had much weight. Just as we were holding of Ribbon, for we were to stop, he had unsecured in the second car as the chauffeur said he had a weak spring and could not carry six persons, so a transfer was made. Robinson sitting on the front seat in what was understood to be Dr. Tennant's lap. MANY THERE. We had gone but a short distance, when Chauffeur Crockett, observed that the other Ford car was not in sight. As it did not show up after we had waited some time, I advised him to go on and then we could come back and return to Richmond to leave the party and return to Richmond as we possible. We arrived at the church where the ladies had gathered. We then found out that the left rear wheel was about to come off the car in which we had been riding. Robinson assisted in fixing this wheel, then the other car with Dr. Johnson, Dr. Tennant, John R. Cogbill, J. E. Williamson and W. T. Sokes. TWO PUNCTURES They reported that they had two punctures. Dr. Jefferson was wrapped up just as though he was about to take a trip to the North Pole. All were in good humor and the residents began to arrive more rapidly when the church bell had been rung. It was not long before I began the return trip with Mr. Crockett at the wheel and with Robinson at his side. I had nine miles to go. I had not gone more than two miles before I saw a wagon and a horse going at a rapid rate. Mr. Crockett observed that he lived the other side of Prince George Court House. I suggested that he hall him and find out if he could take me to Camp Lee. THE BLIND HORSE TRAVELS He did so and it was not long. be fore I was out of, of the car in W. A. Harrison's store. Mr. Harrison treated to soft drinks. I found out that the driver of the wagon, who was also the owner was Willie Goodwin. He is a carpenter and a contractor and he does much work for the farmers in that section, most of whom are Bohemians. When it comes to taking a car and a horse to make a train, I laughingly told him, give me the horse. On hearing that he was making almost as fast time as the car, "That horses in blind" he said. I was dumfounded. He spoke of the remark able character of the Bohemians, two of whom had stopped him on the road to talk with him. WOULD PAY THE BILL He had two hundred dollars worth of work for a Bohemian, who because his wife died attempted to commit suicide. He had written to Mr. Goodwin that he would be out of the hospital soon and would come back to Prince George and pay him. Other Bohemians had offered to pay the bill if he would only get a letter from the absent Bohemian to pay him. never saw people who stick together on a road, he told me that both of them had been in jail for making and selling corn lignor. The High Sheriff had gone to the house and arrested his wife and after carrying her to COLORED FOLKS AND A FIRE. They spent several months, in jail but were now out again working hard. He spoke too of the store-keeper at Prince George C. H., who had made a remark to a white man in his presence, when he saw the white man go to the fire that he went to the fire just like a "nigger." He did not like it and he showed his displeasure. He reminded a white friend that he never saw him go to a fire unless it was him. He gave one to go there. He was nearing Camden. Goodwin told of his experiences. He had been North, East and West, visiting New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and other cities. A NARROW ESCAPE He had narrowly escaped being killed in a cave in being laid up for about two months. During the war, he had assisted in hospital work. He described the amputation of limbs, stating that the flesh had to be thrown back and the bone sawed off about eight inches up so that the flesh could be drawn over it. He declared the human flesh to be the toughest thing in the world to sew. It must be done with forceps. I cannot lift much more than the length of my injury. I found out that Goodwin did not be long to the Prohibition Party and that his views were open and above broad in favor of the liberty of the thirst and the appetite, especially on a cold, frosty morning. A LONE COLORED PASSENGER When I drove up to the station, I saw the car coming and a few moments later, I was on my way to Petersburg, the only colored passenger on the car, flanked both front, rear and sideways, by a crowd of white soldiers, who were or the way to the city. I was in time to catch the Richmond car and heard much talk by the colored passengers. I arrived at the Planet Office shortly after 8 P. M. Saturday night. As for the other moms of the party, they came into Richmond about one o'clock that same night. JOIN MITCHELL JR. GENERAL WOOD CHAMPIONS THE CAUSE OF COLORED AMERICANS. Indianapolis, Ind. March 1.—The immortal Lincoln was the first great American to deal justly with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalties for our advancement as full fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door to his civil rights when he stood for a square deal to all men regardless of race or color, Booker T. Washington dined with him even though the whole country put up a howl. But now he has been taken from our midst. God in his wise providence, however, has not left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leonard Wood, the greatest living American hero. You know we need never be disheartened for we are God's children. Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League saying: "Today the important thing is Law and Order. There is no group that stands for Law and Order more than you colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation we should have a free and untrammeled United State." Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and any candidate for president who does not publicly state his position on the race question cannot expect the Colored vote. Leonard Wood will be the next great republican leader if two millions of colored voters have anything to say about it. "A second 'Teddy' folks: a second Teddy." Any man or woman twenty one years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing first to the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club, Indianapolis, Ind., for literature, buttons and other free instruction. It is an opportunity for colored wood "writers" to present a local Wood that they want a man for President who will give every Ameri can black or white a Square Deal. In Memory. SIMMS----In loving remembrance of my dear sister, Julia Simms, who departed this life one year ago, March 4, 1919: Gone but not forgotten. MARY L. WALKER. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920 PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR THE COLORIDED PEOPLE AT LYNCHBURG. In my recent article concerning the local schools my thoughts were particularly guided by the facts concerning the conditions at the Payne Building, where to enter as a colored college graduate means a complete drop from the Educational horizon so far as the Lynchburg Colored Schools are concerned. It is not so much my desire to pass upon the quality of the teachers employed in the system as to press upon the system itself which is to be considered. A goodly number of colored people who think upon civic matters wonder why a white person has to act in the capacity of principal in the graded schools for colored people. It is known fact that the white principals used in paid schools show no more capabilities than so many of our race found in this community. Regarding the would be high school for our people in this city one only has to view the four room and the extra closet make shift of a room in an antiquated structure on Jacobson St., and make a comparison of curriculum with the one on Park Avenue for the states of this city and draw conclusions. The system has seen fit at this time to offer the pupils an extra year or training which is intended to convey the idea of a regular four year high school course and this has been done by stretching out the former three year course over a period of four years. No effort is made to teach the following high school subjects, book keeping, French or Spanish, Chemistry, English History, Civics and Psychology. No laboratory facilities or equipment. Just imagine a high school course with the principal subjects dropped from the curriculum. On account of the high school failing to be what it should represent a graduation from, teachers with only two years of work, whom they think they are completing a four year course, thereby wasting two years in a misguided way. To accept of teachers with no more training than this is a gross injustice to the colored citizens. It was the thing of the past, but we are asking for things in keeping with the times. The Board of Education of this city is a fair minded group of Southern gentlemen and if the question of the condition of the colored schools was brought to their minds, I am sure conditions would be improved, but it appears that matters concerning the colored schools are discretionary with the Superintendent who has served God, well so many years. Manuki Training has been dropped from the colored schools at this writing notwithstanding there are a number of available colored teachers capable of teaching that work. I have learned that the graduates from the Virginia institutions were more acceptable than those with Grade 1 training. Is this due to the fact that the State fall to give its colored citizens an education on a par with that offered its other citizens and in lieu of said education places of employment and those who are educated after the plan of the state for its colored citizens, there by discounting the value of the colored teacher trained at a Grade 1 in citation? Apropos the question of knuckling which seems to burden the minds of some of the brilliant teachers I shall leave for the public's consideration. The specific cases of awarding positions on account of influences working in behalf, of their proteges instead of consideration of qualifications of the applicants has been prevailed for a length of time in this community. One is compelled to wonder why a teacher of efficiency should pay tribute to her principal by the presentation of gifts, and other valuables too numerous to mention. Efficiency is its own reward and it should feel secure in the maintenance of her position by sheer merit and the support of the community. The bearing of gifts breaks down the morale of any audience and we have found out that the most liberal donors were the least efficient. We would like to know if a certain white principal has ever taken the time to place before the eager young of my race the fact of the glories and achievements of some of our race celebrities. Toussaint *Overture*, Shuklin *Dammit*, Debbie *Dubois*, Katey Miller and many others. Emphatically, no, but she has greeted a "bull" class of children with this question. "How many of you slept with your stockings on, and your head under the cover" and other such nonsense which could easily be supplanted by other caligraphing and helpful training. For the children who pass from the control of the white principal in the school system, the white principal and her assistance all white in the high school serves to keep fresh in the minds of the color youth the idea of racial backwardness and unless the youth is the ex- ceptional type race consciousness set dom over develops to the-point of pride. In conclusion I wish to state that there are a few who are using their ability and womanly qualities in the system here as teachers and we are only sorry that their number is so small to the others, as conscience bricks them try and become as should be their duty to the race and posterity teachers and not "Puppets." Again, the facts of knuckling will and knowledge one wishes the knowledge f specific cases we shall be pleased to cite for them with special emphasis upon that of the officiers and commanding subordinate despatch bearer who is rewarded by an unmerited grading as a teacher.

THE MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK FIRE DAMAGE The fire at the Mechanics Savings Bank did not stop business, but it seriously inconvenienced the already overworked employees in doing business. The Central National Bank sent offers of assistance and Mrs. Maggle L. Walker, President of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank called in person, expressed sympathy and made offers of assistance. The damage will exceed ten thousand dollars. Contractor D. J. Farrar has been busy closing in the structure. The damage to property were broken and cracked. These were the main fire seems to have been back of the President's Office. The fine mahagany five foot desk was practically destroyed. The vault was discolored, but in no wise injured permanently. The machines were in most cases irreparably injured. Con tracts will be given out at once for the repair work and when the same is completed, the Mechanics Bank will be even more attractive than it was before. The insurance carried upon the building covers burglary, fire, theft, plate glass breakouts. The building proper is insured in the Mutual Assurance Society on Ninth and Main Streets. It had been definitely ascertained to the cause of the fire, as it did about midnight. The fire Do department seems to be of the opinion that it was caused by defective wiring. THE PYTHIAN ANNIVERSARY The annual Thanksgiving Exercises of the Knights of Pythias in Virobia will be observed, Sunday March 28th. Arrangements are being made for a grand time throughout Grand Chancellors and Matel Deputy Grand Chancellors and Matel Attendees from the subordinate lodges will make arrangements for the game. ORDER OF TRUE REFORMERS MAKING RAPID PROGRESS. Over Quarter Million Dollars Paid In Death Claims Since October 1918 The Order of True Reformers, founded by the Rev. Wm. W. Browne, who was the acknowledged financial Moses of the Race, is certainly making splendid progress as evidenced in a statement by its Grand Master, Mr. W. S. Woodson, published in the Order's Organ, The Reformer, under date of February 14th. The statement is certainly prasnaworthy and merits for the Order the commendation of the Race. It discloses that on an indebtedness of $440,019.25, in death since October 1918, he received $163,000, 00, due and impaid at that time, $366,000 has been paid through August, 1919 and only leaves a balance due to be paid of $74,019.25. This is indeed a remarkable achievement and clearly demonstrates that the Order is determined to overcome its embarrassment due to the failure of its bank in 1910. It also shown that if the members who dropped out of the Order on account of gold embarkment, had kept their covetment, not one penny would now be owing by the Order. The Order is now operating a plan to wipe out the balance due on death claims within the next three years and it deserves the support of the Race. The plan is to raise $25,000, a year for three years, beginning with September, 1919, and each member of the Brotherhood is requested to raise $5.00 a year by adding at least two new members or by securing the revival of the old policy of at least one ex-member. Already since September 1st, 1919, the brotherhood 11th, 1920, 481 new and 481 old members have been added to the Order and $149.64 collected for the Emergency fund, out of whites its old and past one death claims are being paid. Prominent among the ex-members who rejoined the Order in 1919 to help redeem it to the Race and who are engaged in similar work for Race Uplift were: Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Secretary Treasurer of the Right Worthy Grand Council, I.O. of St. Luke; Mr. C. A. Puryear, Head of the Order of the St. John Watchmen and Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton, pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist church who is also a member of the Board of Directors. The Grand Master's statement also explains in detail how the ex-members can revive their old policies at greatly reduced rates. It does seem, therefore, that all eligible ex-members ought to take immediate advantage of the new policies and members up to 55 years of age can revive their old policies for $6.20; from 50 to 60 years, $6.40; and from 60 to 70 years, $9.60. Persons who have never been members can join the Order for $2.50 from 16 to 50 years of age and $2.00 from 16 to 60 years of age. Richmond division branch is pla- ning a special drive to end the 2nd of April, 1920 and it is hoped that by this time every exmember of said branch will be ready to return to the fold. THE PLANET LATM Owing to repairs to our press the Planet for February 21, 1920 was unusually late. We did not get to press until Saturday and did not mail subscribers papers until the following Tuesday. Other weeks, the delay has been due to the Post Office. Planets are usually mailed to agents Thursdays, of each week and sometimes Thursday after afternoon. Subscribers should be in New York, and Boston on Saturdays, but they rarely get there. The postage on Newspapers is about double what it used to be and the service is doubly as unsatisfactory. Some city subscribers never receive their Planets until Monday. These are put into the Post Office here Friday before 2 P. M. In addition to this, we have had to get three times the former price and we have had to pay the we can get to meet our d man. Things will be better when we get to heaven and sometimes we wish we were on our way there. CHARLIE S. MORRIS, JR. HERM. Mr. Chas. S.

He denounced lynching. as wr-American and Un-Christian and de clared that tn the matter of citizenship the Constitution of the United Stat- ex should be upheld. Mr. Hays made it very plain that the Republican par ty this year does not propose to side step the responsibilities cf the hour, Lut will face all subjects with charac toristic Americanism, for, he declar- ed: “the history of the nation is. the Ristory of the Republican party.” The address of Chairman Hays was recolved with great. enthusiasm, | Governor Frank 0, Lowden follow ed. Governor Lowden, took advantage of the occasion. being on the eve of Lincoln's birthday, and the namo of the league bring “Lincoln” and con fined his remarks largely to an eulogy of tho life of Abraham Lincoln, Tis address was interesting from that standpoint, but the vast assemblage was plainly disapnointed because he ‘failed to make an open declaration concerning his views on the critical subjects affecting Colored people. It was very evident that the Governor studiously and carefully avoided these subjects, it appearing. at times as though he was embarrassed to find just the proper words to use. Tt had been announced that General Leonard Wood would appear at the ‘Thursday morning session at 9:30, on his way from Minneapolis, Minn. to Cleveland, Ohio, where he ‘was to deliver the Lincoln day address be fore the 'Tipecanoc club. He was to have only two hours in Chicago, and niuich official work te look after, The audience assembled early, but it de- veloped that the (rain from the west was two hours kite. Mayor ‘Chomp son was to appear at cleven and ap- peured practically on time, his ap: Pearaneo was announced by Edward H. Wright, and he was given an ova tion. In the mean time President Sim Mons announced that General Leon- ard Wood would undoubtedly appear later, ‘The mammoth heureh by this hour was crowded to the doors with delegates and visitors. Mayor Thompson's address was typi cal of his belief in political equali- ty and opportunity. Ho reviewed his caroor as mayor of Chicago, and told how ho had always sought to uphold the constitution in the city for the people. He told’ why ho appoints his assistants on merit and not by race, snd was loudly applauded. In tho midst of tho Mayor's ad- dress, Genoral Wood arrived. Ho was given the greatest demonstration of the entire convention, Mayor Tomp fon discontinued his address for the time, and warmly grasped the hand ot General Wood, while the audience applauded, and stood cheering. ‘At the conclusion of the Mayor's address, President Simmons introduc- ed Genoral Wood, of the United Stat es Army, as a “personal friend to the Freat American who belleved in ‘all men up,’ Theodoto Roosevelt. General Wood minced no words. nor did he loss timo in making him self underatood. His firat words wero: “I believe in upholding the Constitu- tion of the United States, and that means that I believe tho laws should he obeyed by all, and that all citt- zens should enjoy the privileges wn- der tho constitution.” He declared that the government stands first, for law and rder, upon which foundation only, can peace and harmony be main tained.

THE RVTURN OF THE RATLROADS ‘Tho railroads have gone back to their owners, ‘Me Unitod States Gov- ernment was running them at a loss of one miMion dollars per day. As the United States Government had been doing this for twenty-six months, the people, who support the United States Government got mighty tired of the wholo business and rofoleed when tr found a way to turn the railroads loose again. Now, it will bo a case of the owners getting tho monoy out of the people who ride on the railroads and not out of the people, who do not ride on the railroads, Tho railroad employees ropresenta- Uyes claimed that tho United States Government did not have a fair trial in tho management of these roads un dor Government control and wantea the experimont continued two yoars longer. ‘This sounded all right but from a finaneial standpoint, it look ed all wrong. Tho railroads would not heed any Government assistance to help finance them back to prosperity, but for the tact that the United States Governinent has monopolized the financial market and it has done more borrowing than any one olse. “As a result, private entorprises and corporations are foreed to go into the money market and pay high rates of interest, much higher thaa that the Government is paying in order to borrow aay money and they are hav. ing a hard time getting any money even on this basis, ‘Thore is no doubt that many millions of dollars will be saved by tho curtailment of Iabor. ‘ho labor elements had reached the peint, where legislation was enacted requiring tho employment of full train. crews to operate trains, This was virtually taking the man- agemont out of the hands of the rail youd mamagors, who wero necessarily pledged to save overy dollar fer the Lenofit of the stock-holders, ‘The cama pain of tho laboring cloments wee skillfully conducted and tho men in charge wero masters of the situat- fon until Postdent Wilson not only Set tired, but came to tho conclusion that “wator could not be mado to run vp ill” for any considerable length of time. ‘Tho tido is setting the other way now and the American people aro demanding a hearing after tho waste of many millions of dolare in & most costly experience and the ac- cumulation of a mammoth debt that posterity must pay for a couple of hundred of years or more. ANOTHER SUPREMD COURT DECISION. 0 oe ee wee ee Rena COO GHEE E. jf tte United States in a decado has eon more drastic than tho criticism of the decision of the Court inthecase of Lho United States Steet Corporation. Tho dissomting opinion backed by three members of the august tribunal was delivered by Mr. Justice Day. It reminds us of the decisions of that , W'ibunal in cases relating to the rights j and privileges of eltizens of color tn- ;der tho Constitution of the United ' States. . A most amusing feature of the sit: uation is the following predicament of Government officials, It was tho [tact man’s yosteray, but Ht ta the whilo man's case today. ‘The report saya: , Government officials were perplex: (ed as to the effect of the decision on ponding and future antitrust prosocn- , Hons, This was caused by the fact that ‘the decision was not rendered by n majority of the full memborship of the court, Judging by their past acts, Justices MeRoynolds and Brandets, who took no part in the decision, jWould havo sided with the minority {us reversing tho decision, five to four. The decision did not placo a new Interpretation on tho anti-trust law, but simply decided that tho Steet Cor Foration had not violated it, and it was thought in a similar caso with Justices McReynolds and Brindels sit- ting an exactly opposite opinion might be rendered, ‘ ‘This is @ case of Kepealing a law by Judicial interprotation. ‘The irony of the situation {s emphasized tn the opinions rendered by tho majority and minority of the Supremo Court as handed down by Mr. Justice McKenna end Mr, Justice Day. Tho former ts quoted as follows: | “Wo must adhere to the law," and {the law does not make moro sizo an ‘offense or the oxiatonce of unexorted Power aw offense. It requires overt acts and trusts to its prohibition of them and ite power to repross’ or ‘punish thom. It doos not compol _competition,”* His very able colleague, Mr. Justtco Day says in plain, unequivocal langu- juso that Mr. Justico MckKouna and his associates did uot adhere to the Inw. “itis language is as follows: + ‘This record seoms to leave no fate room for a dou: that the defendants the United States Steel Corporation and tho soveral subsidiary corporations {hich make up that organization wer tormed in violation of (ac Shorman act. Iam unable to accopt tho conchu- sion which directs a dismissal of the Mill instead of following tho woll sot tled practice, sanctioned by provious docisions of this court, roquiring the dlgolution of combinations made in direct violation of the law. ' | This, then is a plain statomont that tho United States Suprome Court in rondoring this decision has reversed It seit and sot at naught decroes handed own in the cases of tho American ‘vobacco Company, the Standard OM Company, and similar decisions, Mr. Justice McKenna says that the Court rust adhere to the law and thon ac- cording lo Mr. Justice Day, the Court Proceeds and decides by this opinfon net Lo adhere to tho law. Cortainly cithor one or the other of theso learn- ed jurists is mistaken, Both cannot be right. Tho dissenting opinion among other things saya: It inevitably follows that the cor- poration violatod tho law in its forma- tion and by its immediate practices. The power thus obtained from tho combinaton of resources almost un- Hmitod in the aggregation of compot- ing organizations, had within its con Arol the domination of the trade and tho ability to fix prices and restrain tho free flew of commerce upon a acalo heretofore unapproached in tho history of corporate organization in this country. And again: As T understand the conclusions of the court ofirming the decree direct: ing dismiss: of the bill they amount to this: ‘That the. combination, both the holding company and the subsidi- aries which comprise it, «though or ganized in plain violation and bolt defiance of the provisions of the net, nevertheless are immune from a do creo effectually ending the eombina- tion and putting it ont of their pow cr to attain tho unlawful purposes sought beeause of some reason of pub lic policy requiring sueh conclusion. T know of no public policy which sanctions a violation of the law, nor of any ineonvenionee to trade, do- mestie or foreign which should have the effect: of placing - combinations, which havo been able to thus organize one of the grentst industries of the country in dofia:.co of law, in an im- _THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Pregnablo position abovo the control of the law forbidding such combina tlons. Such’ a conclusion docs. vio- fence to the policy which the law was §ntonded to enforce, runs counter to the decisions of the court, und neces: sarily rosults in a practical nullitt. catton of the (Sherman) uct itself. It (the act) was not intended to moroly suppress unfair practices, but ag its history and terms amply. show it was intended to make it criminal to form combinations or ongago in conspiracies or contracts in restratut of interstate commerce, Is not the argument of the mnjort- ty cn'nion of the Supreme Cows ef the United States pleading as an ex- cuse for the opinion “because of some reasous of public policy” ov “all fours” with tho opinions hande! down in the franchise, “Jim Crow" law cases? | Wo believe that It Is. Mr, Justice Day holds that tho Courts should en- forco the law as it is enacted and that the modification of the law should come from the Congress and nol from the judicial tribunals of the land, Who doubts that he is cor- rect In his reasoning? The war upon the trusis has resulted in the benefit ing of tho small trusts, the dissolu- ton of the big ones and boost of prices skyward so far as the common people are concerned, We do not be- lieve that the United States Steel Cor Poration should be destroyed. | We have a bitter recollection of the so-called destruction of the Standard O} Company, with gasoline, keroseno ond other products now quoted at highor prices than wero ever known in the history of the world, However, we do not believo that the Supreme Court of the United States has tnjur- cd itself in the estimation of the public. It could not do that. It has wobbled in and out in such a manner for more than a decade that its pre- vious decisions are worthless as os guido and its previous decision in line with law as it fs written fs more tradition, It fs now on the even plane with tho proverbial jurors of the country whou an attorney remarked, “No one ever knows just what a jury will do.” Selah. REV, DR, MORRIS' EXPLANATION, We are publishing in this Issue reply to our querles by the vory able and distinguished churchman} Rov. B. C. Morris, D, D, He has vouchsafed information that will be of transcon. dent Interest to those who desire te know the truth and who havo not previously been informed of the part that he played in this most unfortu nate affair in the great State of Ar Kansas. Wo feel satisfied that thie leader has the intereats of the color: ed people at heart and that should ho make a mistake, it “would be a caso of the error of the head, a mis take in judgment and not an erro: of the heart. But what about the replica Rev. Dr. B. ©. Morris has made to out Guories? He admits and says that he doo not believe that the colored peo ple, who were convicted by the whole salo got justice in the courts of Ar. kansas. He further states that he does not bellove that Mr. Robert L. Hil, who is now a refugee in Kan. sus is guilty of the crime with which ho stands charged. Ho beltevee though that ff he fs returned to the State, he will got a fair trial, which moans an acquittal. ' He over- looks tho fact that Hil ray bo extradited from Kansas up on one harge and then tried upon another charge. He does not seem to understand that tho chargo of con- spiracy, carrying with {t a penitentt. ary term can be mado out against him and with a prejudiced jury as the and with a prejudiced jury, he can be convictod without sumMetent evidonce to support tho charge just as the oth er people have been convicted. He forgets too that Hill “ill not be tried before the distinguisi.cd, popular and able Chief Executive, who now fitt- ingly occupies the — gubernafortfal oMfce at Little Rock Arkansas. | It is & fundamental principle that local ofcials control tho trial of criminal cases and thit Robort 1. Fill, unablo to furnish bond has a Jong time to wait in jail before he will walk again in tho open air as % freoo man, We take st then that tho summary of Rev. Dr. 1, C, Morris's declarations is that colored people in Artansas charged with crime can get Justice, but those already tried there haven't gotten justice as yot; that Robert L. Hill, clso. charged with crime, if he is returned to Blaine, Ar- kansas will get justice, but that ho Las not gotten jus‘ice yet: that the better class of white men-in the State aro friendly to the colored people of (nat State and if they had the “say- su” if the affair, tho “army” of col- ered folks would not now be occupy ing ceils in the Arkansas penitentiary. All of this may be true, but where human life is at stake, who would tke ‘a chance before an Arkansas jury? It reminds us of the experience et the man, who got into a neighbor's yard with his friend, where a feroct- ons bulldog held swey. While the Dull-dog was working upon his friend, he sealed the fence and got cvor Into the next lot. When the own er of the dog camo and rescued hia friend from tho clutches of that ant mal, ho was told to como back over and lk tho matter over, for tho Yul dog wouldn't bite him, “Phat may be all very true," said ho “but 1 feel more comfortable in this man's lot, and I’ remain where I am if 1 ean.” And so ends.

THE RWTURN OF THE RAILROADS ‘Tho railroads have gone back to their owners, ‘Me United States Gov- eynment was running them at a loss of one miMion dollars per day. As the United States Government had been doing liis for Gwenty-six months, the People, Who suppor! the United States Government got mighty red of the whole business and rojoleed when tt found a way to turn the railroads Joose again, Now, it will bo a case of the owners gelling tho money out of the people who ride on the ratlrands and not out of the people, who do not ride on the railroads, ‘Tho railroad employeos representa- {ives claimed that tho United States Government did not have a fair trial in the management of these roads un der Government control and wantea the experiment continued (wo yoars longer. This sounded all right but Trom a financial standpoint, it look: ea all wrong, Tho railrords would not reed any Government assistance to Lelp finance them back to prosperity, but for the iaet that the United States Govermnent has monopolized the financial market and it has dono more borrowing than any one olse. As a restill, private enterprises and corporations are foreed to go into Me soney market and pay high rates of interest, much higher thaa that the Government is paying in order to Dorvow say money and they are hav ing a hard time getting any money even on lily basis, There is no doubt that many milllons of do!lars will be saved by tho curtailment of Inbor ‘he labor elements had reached the point, where legistation was enacted requiring tho cmployment of full train. crews to operate trains, This was virtually taking the man- agement out of the hands of tke rall Poad mamagors, who were necessarily wlodged te save every dollar fer th Henofit of the stockholders, ‘Tho cam palsy of the laboring clontents wre siiIfully conducted and the mon in chargo were masters of the situat fon until Postdent Wilson not onty et Ured, but came to the conetusion that “water could not be mado to run vp Lill” for any considerable length of time.

REV, DR, MORRIS’ EXPLANATION, We are publishing in this tssuo a reply to our queries by the very able and distingulshed churchman) Rov. B. C. Morris, D. D. Ho has vouchsated information that Will be of transeen: dent Interest to those who desiro to Jmow the truth and who havo not provlously beon informed of the part that he played In this most unfortu nate affair In the great State of Ar: kansas. Wo foet satisfied that thie leader has tho interests of tho color: ed peoplo at heart and that should ho make a mistake, 1t would be a ‘ona of the error of the head, a min take in judgment and not an orto: of tho heart. Hut what about tho replies Rev Dr. B.C. Morris has made to our cuerles? Ho admits and says that he doos not believe that the colored pso: plo, who wero convicted by the whold nalo got Justice in tho courts of Ar: Kansas, Ho further states that he docs not delleve that Mr. Robert L. TIM, who 1s now a refuges In Kan: sas Is guilty of tho crime with which ho stand charged. Ho believes though that If he {9 returned to the State, he will get a fair trint, which means an acquittal. ' Tle over- looks the fact that Hil ray bo extradited from Kansas up en one harge and then tried upon anothor charge. He does not seem to understand that tho charge of con- spiracy, carrying with tt a penitentl- ary term can be mado out against him and with a prejudiced fury as the and with a prejudiced fury, he Gar bo convicted without suMictent evidence to aupport tho charge just as the oth cr people have been convicted. Ho forgets too that THN ill not bo tried before the distinguisicd, popular and blo Chief Executive, who now fitt ingly occupies the — gubernatorial office at TAttle Rock Arkansas. | Tt is a fundamental principle that local olicials control tho trial of criminal cases and th. Robort 1, Fill, unablo to fernish bond has a long timo to walt in Jail before he will walk gain in tho open air as 8 froo man. We take it then that tho summary of Rev. Dr. 1. C. Morrie’s declarations is that colored people in Ar“ansas charged with crime can get Justice, but those already tried there haven't gotten justice as yot; that Robert 1. Mi, clso charged with crime, if he be returned to Elaine, Ar= hansas will get fustico, but that he Las not gotten Jusfee yet: that the hotter class of White men in the State are friendly to the colored people of {nat State and if they had the “say- so” ii the affair, the “army” of col cred folks would not now be occupy ing ceils ia the Ackansas penitentiary. All of this may be true, but where Iuman life is at stake, who would teke a chance before an Arkansas jury? It reminds us of the experience of the man, who got Into a neighbor's yard with his friend, where « feroel- ous bulldog held sway, While tho bulldog was working — upon his friend, he seated the fence «id got Cvor into the next lot.

Address, Jy Ay ROBINSON, Owenwa, Van ip SAVE THE PLANET COUPONS,.-> --- HELLER OUR WORKERS ARE AT THEIR POSTS IN AFRICA January 28, 1920.—On Sunday December 28, 1919 at 9:00 A. M. the hill on which Monrovia is situated was sighted in the distance. At 10:00 A. M. we landed. My thoughts are not easily expressed and I know from the looks on the faces of our workers, who are soon to begin work in a new country, under new conditions—they are thinking of the task and looking to Him, who called them to the work. On Tuesday the 30th, we departed for the Stations, Doctor Sisusa, family and Miss Bryan to go by way of steam launch to Bassa 60 miles away at a cost of $45.00 Rev. Nichols, Miss Harris and I start for Suchn 25 miles by launch and 20 miles to walk. FOOD SCARCE We hurried on because of food conditions in Monrovia. No sugar or butter, a little bacon in one store—$8 cents per pound, very little flour, at an exorbitant price. Food stuff is not to be had and famine faces this people numbering two and a half million. MOVING BAGGAGE AND FREIGHT The moving of our baggage and a little food, we were thoughtful enough to bring from England, has given us quite a little trouble, and is not all moved to the Stations on this the 20th of January. Most of our things had to be unpacked and put in sacks to be carried by the Natives, 20 miles over land. At this writing our expense for boats and native hire has been $315.00, and we are far from finished. HOW WE FOUND THINGS. The first party reached their Station on Thursday the first day of the Now Year. We reached our fourny's end on Wednesday the last day of the Old Year. Coming to the close of our 20 mile walk, as we neared the Station at Suchn, a group of children met us, waving palm branches and singing: "Waving palms of victory, Singing songs of Jubilee, What a meeting a greeting When our loved ones we shall see, Waving palms of victory." When we were about one half mile away we met another group, who joined in the same song. It is almost need less to say the sight was overwhelming, we all gave way subdued sobs but after shaking hands, we passed on to the entrance of the Mission grounds, where Miss Dolany met us with welcome words. She had brought the blackboard from the school-room on which was written in large letters "Welcome" and hung it in the arch of palms at the entrance. An excellent meal had been prepared from the food sent out in August, so after a prayer of thanksgiving we ate heartily. As night fell and the moon lighted on the African darkness we told of our long journey and the dear ones at home, with whom we held the "Watch Night" service, though thousands of miles away. GIVES OVER Miss DoLany sent her bunch of keys and a piece of white cloth to two of the Native Chiefs, a few miles away, bidding them come to see us. When they came she told them that Miss Harris and Rev. Nichols had come to take her place and be their "Strangers," and she wanted them to take care of them and look out for them as they had looked after her. All this was said to them through one of the girls as interpreter. They replied they would look after the "New Big Ma and Big Daddy." We gave them $5.00 in white money, some white cloth and white handkerchiefs as marks of friendship; the white showing that our hearts were pure toward them. WE ARE OFF AGAIN. After two days we take our long walk again, on our way back to Monrovia for the Inauguration of President King and I, to go to Bassa to look after the location of the Workers there. We saw our first Inauguration of a Negro President. It was an inspiring sight, though it only resembled a meeting of one of our district Associations, but we believe as God lives a brighter day awaits Liberia. On Tuesday I took a warm boat for Bassa. I slept on the upper deck without quilt or pillow, only the African dow and stars covered me. Only the go! Lord knows the torture of night and day but I got to Bass Thursday we got a chance to go to St. John River in a boat, put us within 7 miles of the Bible and Industrial Mission and we walk into the Station about six that evening. THEY ARE HERE Brother Hector met us as we entered the grounds, fell on our neck and went for joy. We reached the house 'all in' from our all day journey in the sun. Doctor Sisua with wife, children and Miss Bryan are happy but their belongings are strewn 14 miles along the way. This Mission is six years old and has not had an accident until the day the Doctor and our Nurse arrived when a small native child, about three years old broke its leg. With leaves they got to work, made splinters set the limb and fixed it up, so today after a week the little one is sitting up. Saturday, January 10th, we went to a little Association. We remained here Saturday and Sunday. The Doctor and Miss Bryan were introduced and the people thanked God and the churches in America for a Doctor, Nurse and a Dentist. Oh the slackness and the sores to be treated here! On Monday, the 11th, I got off for Suchn again at a cost of $10.00. Tues day we went up the St. Paul River, and Wednesday, after helping Broth or Nichols get ten men and boys off with loads, at 2:00 P. M., we started on our 20 mile hike. We over estimated our strength so the sun went down on us two miles or more from the station. The carriers were tired so we hastened on and left them. As I got a little way ahead I recalled all I had heard of the boa-constrictor hanging over the way to get its food, so I watched for him prayed the Lord I would not see one. Only a monkey crossed our path and by the time it was dark good we were at the Mission again. Since being here 22 days we have gone by launch and boat 153 miles, by canoe 10 miles and walk 122 miles. We are in good health, but taking 5 grain tablets of quinoa daily and leaning hard on the Lord God. Of course my head roars and I hear things. THANK YOU On finding ourselves hedged in in England, we appealed to a few of our brethren at home—remembering, the Board, would have to organize to get money for us, so to save time and suffering we acted as we believed for the best. Only for the timely help of those, Godly brethren we would have suffered untold hardship, if not hung er and great humiliation. They did not give once or twice, but indeed they gave a dozen times for the river and road transportation in Africa could never have been accomplished without it. We are quite sure our board will not punish any of us for this act as it saved the day for the Army in the field of God even as did Grant, Foch, and Porshing won undying fame for their Governments by striking at the right time and reporting afterwards. CONCLUSION. We have public services on the 25th instant when Miss E. B. DeLany, gives over this Station to Miss D. E. Harris and Rev. D. S. Nichols. She hopes to return to the States with us for rest. She greatly needs it, after six years hard work here. She is to take part in the Inter-church as well as in our own Drive for men, women and money, to have all men every where hear the gospel in this Generation. She is counting on Doctor White and his good people for her ticket home, costing $300.00. We hope to start home by the last of February. I have appealed to the Board for my fare home and hope to get it in good time for sailing. It is now 10:30 P. M., and all on the Station are asleep. The bats and other inhabitants of a dark African night fill the air with their noise, so I must close with God bless Peoples and Pastors at home and a prayer that He will take care of those who stay here. I am. Yours in His service, L. G. JORDAN. $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 8, 1920.

Williams Clifford, Special Representative Washington, D. C. The Negro race in America has entered upon a new epoch in its evolution. The barriers which have kept our people in subjection are giving way and an era of real freedom and better days are dawning. It may be said that while the Civil War caused the abolition of slavery, the World War has been instrumental in opening wider the door of opportunity to the colored race. We all feel that a change is taking place and that it is a change for the better for the 14,000 000 people which the present census will show to be the colored population of the United States. The colored race in America is slowly but surely working out its own destiny. That our people will rise to greater and greater things is the belief of all thoughtful observers. From the lowest depths of misery in which our ancestors struggled under the inhuman tortures of the lasi and degrading conditions on Southern plantations, the Negro race is rising to its proper place in accordance with the divine law of compensation. God works through individuals his wonders to perform. Benefits to the race cannot come of their own accord. The great lssion which the past teaches is that our people must cooperate. They must work together for the advancement of the race. There must be racial solidarity to accomplish the results we all desire. Our forefathers blazed the way out of the jungle of slavery, leaving their children a heritage which they themselves did not enjoy. At a recent gathering of representative colored men in Washington, D.C., a number of whom had served the country with honor and distinction in the American Expeditionary Forces in France, it was the consensus of opinion that the time had arrived, to begin an active propagation for the betterment of the Negro people. It is authoritatively stated that no less than 400,000 Negro Americans wore the National uniform in the Army and Navy and contributed to the final victory of making the World safe for Democracy. The time has arrived when self-defermination should be applied to the Negro race in America, which out numbers many of the races in Europe who are enjoying more freedom as the result of the great conflict. Many reforms are necessary for the colored race and numerous battles remain to be fought in the hall of legislation and elsewhere for a better degree of equality—for the inattentable rights guaranteed to all American citizens under the Constitution. It is cheering to know that a group of inspired and aggressive leaders are at work on various problems at the National Capital. They are seeking the cooperation of other leaders of the race in Boston, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Montgomery, St. Louis and elsewhere. The foundation of a broad and pow-erful propaganda is being laid, which will have a far-reaching influence. It is proposed to extend this campaign of education and enlightenment into the newspapers and magazines of the country into churches, schools, moving pictures, etc. The leaders of the move ment have learned valuable lessons from the manner in which forms of propaganda have been carried for the education of the white American. "The Struggle" is the title chosen for a ten real motion picture which will portray Negro life in this country in its true light. Into what will prove a drama of transcendent interest, it is proposed to weave a most powerful and gripping appeal for justice that will be shown in practically all of the twenty thousand moving picture theatres of the United States. This will result in a great service to the colored race in making them better understood and removing race prejudice wherever it exists. The Washington leaders cannot be claused as dreamers or visionaries. They are men of practical experience who have the courage of their convictions. They are men of actions rather than words. They believe in "suiting" the action to the word, the word to the action." They possess energy, self-reliance and decision of character. Appreciating the importance of moving pictures, they have already enlisted the aid of leaders in the motion picture industry in New York and have been assured that the best talent in the country and the most successful business management is at the service of the colored race in the production of one or more motion picture dramas that will be the talk of the nation. The present movement, which had its inception in Washington, is spreading to all parts of the country and is looking to aid not only the present generation, but to build for the future as well. It looks forward to the time when members of the colored race will not only preach but practice race solidarity; when Negro citizens will practice self-reliance and encourage enterprises among their own people; when they will prove by their actions and investments in advancing the upbuilding of the race; when they will not be obvious of the success of their associates in business; when they will make sac offices, if necessary, for the good of the race and to improve conditions for the benefit of their children and grandchildren. With a population exceeding fourteen million colored people in the United States, the time is not far distant when the Negro race will exert a powerful influence in all walks of life. They will be represented strongly in Congress and State Legislatures. They will have their own representatives in the motion picture industry producing the kind of pictures that they want which will have an unifying influence instead of those which are a travesty on the race. As a result of this movement the colored people will also have their own moving picture theatres in which they and their children can sit in the orchestra instead of in the gallery. That the colored people of both the North and the South will support these theatres, owned and managed by their own race and showing their own gladiate picture productions, is for no conclusion.

J. William Clifford, 1844—9th street, N. W., Washing ton, D. C. --- RESOLUTIONS IN RESPECT TO THE LATE DR. S. A. MOSES. Newport News, Va., Fob. 16.—The unexpected demise and passing of the real Rev. S. A. Moses, D. D., from earth's gloomy shores to celestial plains of unclouded bliss, is another striking reminder that "It is appointed ed unto men, once, to die." A divine providence which reaches beyond the range of human vision and rises above human interpretation has gloriously wafted the immortal spirit of a husband, father, brother, and friend away from all that is caral and common and has numbered a saint with angolic throngs and hosts residing in Glory land. The death of this man of God, ro moves from us, first of all, a man. One who was worthy of being called such, for from head to foot he was a man, yea every inhe a man. But it is better still to think of our brother as one who had been with Jesus and learned of Him. His spiritual insight was keen, his convictions deep, while his faith was large, increasing, abiding and satisfying. Thus the evidence of regeneration was, more or less, manifest in the words, work and ways of the deceased. At home he was calm, quiet, pains taking and thoughtful as host, faith ful as husband and inexpressibly affectionate as father. In church he was sincere and devout either as preacher or auditor. And we rejoice in the imminent degree to which our brother's labors were successful, on account of his consecrated life, certain and sound convictions and untiring zeal. And in him was a potent, positive and constructive force, in exertion, for his race and denomination in general and the work of the Virginia Baptist State convention in particular. At all times and under all circumstances, firmly he stood at his post of duty, and is voice never failed to ring out for the cause he represented. As a preacher, Dr. Moses, stood, proudly among the gospel heralds of the front line. Truly he did have a passion for preaching. Most of his public messages were red hot sermons hurled from the blood stained brow of Calvary, with irresistible force and unanswerable power. In view of the mortal extinction of such a life, wo the officers and members of the Ministers Union of Newport News, Hampton and viciously deem it but a Christian duly to publicly express our sense of sorrow, loss and regret in the death of Dr. Moses. But we believe that our sorrow, loss and regret, in this case, divinely transformed to eternal joy, gain and gladness in the heavenly world. There core it only remains for us to pledge ourselves as follows: To extend to all the members of the bereft family our sincere gymnathies and fervent prayers, that Jesus, "the man of sorrows," may bind up the hearts that are broken and wipe away the tears that are flowing; To renew our fidelity and loyalty to our Lord and Master and improve in our Christian affection and bright kindness to one another as our living follow ministers and sufferers in Christ Jesus; $8,325.34 5,543.17 5,022.55 October 1918 November 1918 February 1920 To emulate the virtues of the deceased and utilize them to the glory of God and the good of ourselves and fellow-men; Finally, to strive to so live that when our summons comes that we may be able to render our account to God with joy and not with sorrow. "Servant of God, well done, Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Share in thy Master's joy." By order of the Ministers' Union of Newport News, Hampton and vicinities. REV. BROWN, Vice Pres. REV. SHARPE, Sec. COMMITTEE:—A. A. Galvin, C. E. Jones, and M. C. Holland. FULTON NOTES. Owing to the inolemency of the weather last Sunday many of our pupils were absent. The classes as a whole were taught by our Pastor, who was equal to the task. Owing to an engagement made some time ago, our pastor gave way in order for Rev. W. E. Banks of Manakin, Va., to preach. The Rev. chose for his subject "Watch Ye." The Rev. certainly preached a good sermon. We had an enjoyable time Sunday at 8:30 P. M., in looking up and seeing what the Scriptures said about Satan and learning of his cunning ways. It was very interesting as we listened to our pastor discuss various passages concerning that old Serpent or Lucifer. Tomorrow at eleven thirty A. M. the pastor will use as his subject "The Devil The Prince of the Powers of the Air." We know you are coming to hear the Rev. 3:30 P. M. will be our communion services. 8:30 P. M. Rev. Black of the Va. U. U., will preach at the above named Church, in the interest of the T. E. Bible Class of the S. S. You don't need any introduction to Rev. Black Come let us pack the house. The class is putting forth efforts to help the church in the Epilogy this coming May. Rev. King of the Fifth Street Bapt lst church will speak to women only at the above Church, Sunday, March 14th, at 3:30 P. M. His subject will be "She Painted Her Face to Flirt With Death."

FIVE Medical Scientists in the past few months have disproved the theory that colds are caused, as are commonly supposed, from cold draughts of air or from lack of protection to certain parts of the body. It now seems, more evident than ever before, that the first contraction of a cold is from disease germs which gain entrance to the system through the secretionary glands of the throat. The mouth constantly moistened with saliva becomes an ideal breeding place for disease germs which are found to circulate so largely in improperly ventilated places, such as theatres, office buildings, and often in closely crowded street cars. One of the best ways to protect your throat from these disease germs is to use a daily mouth wash of Liquoseptol. Liquoseptol is a powerful antiseptic superior to other preparations of its kind, yet it is absolutely free from all irritating properties. $a_{n}$ daily use it has proven a destroying agent to disease germs and fermentation. Liquoseptol is $a_{n}$ invaluable preparation for use in the sick room, in the bath, for nasal catarrh, sore throat, cuts, abrasions and creptions of the skin. When suffering from indigestion or fermentative dyspepsia Liquoseptol taken in water will give relief. Clip this ad, take it to your druggist, get a bottle and have it on hand for general use.

SATURDAY.....MARCH 6, 1920 OUR WORKERS ARE AT THEIR POSTS IN AFRICA. January 28, 1920.—On Sunday December 28, 1919 at 9:00 A.M. the hill on which Monrovin is situated was sighted in the distance. At 10:00 A.M. we landed. My thoughts are not easily expressed and I know from the looks on the faces of our workers, who are soon to begin work in a new country, under new conditions—they are thinking of the task and looking to Him, who called them to the work. On Tuesday the 30th, we departed for the Stations, Doctor Sisusa, family and Miss Bryan to go by way of steam launch to Bassa 60 miles away at a cost of $45.00 Rev. Nichols, Miss Harris and I start for Suehn 25 miles by launch and 20 miles to walk. FOOD SCARCE We hurried on because of food conditions in Monrovia. No sugar or butter, a little bacon in one store—$2 cents per pound, very little flour, at an exorbitant price. Food stuff is not to be had and famine faces this people numbering two and a half million. MOVING BAGGAGE AND FREIGHT The moving of our baggage and a little food, we were thoughtful enough to bring from England, has given us quite a little trouble, and is not all moved to the Stations on this the 20th of January. Most of our things had to be unpacked and put in sacks to be carried by the Natives, 20 miles over land. At this writing our ox expense for boats and native hire has been $315.00, and we are far from furished. HOW WE FOUND THINGS The first party reached their Station on Thursday the first day of the New Year. We reached our ourney's end on Wednesday the last day of the Old Year. Coming to the close of our 20 mile walk, as we neared the Station at Suchn, a group of children met us, waving palm branches and singing: "Waving palma of victory, Singing songs of Jubilee, What a meeting a greeting When our loved ones we shall see, Waving palms of victory." When we were about one half mile away we met another group, who joined in the same song. It is almost need less to say the sight was overwhelming, we all gave way subdued sobs but after shaking hands, we passed on to the entrance of the Mission grounds, where Miss Delany met us with welcome words. She had brought the blackboard from the school-room on which was written in large letters—"Welcome" and hung it in the arch of palms at the entrance. An excellent meal had been prepared from the feed sent out in August, so after a prayer of thanksgiving we ate heartily. As night fell and the moon lighted on the Africa, a darkness we told of our long journey and the dear ones at home, with whom we held the "Watch Night" service, though thousands of miles away. GIVES OVER Miss Dolany sent her bunch of keys and a piece of white cloth to two of the Native Chiefs, a few miles away, bidding them come to see us. When they came she told them that Miss Harris and Rev. Nicholas had come to take her place and be their "Strangers," and she wanted them to take care of them and look out for them as they had looked after her. All this was said to them through one of the girls as interpreter. They replied they would look after the "New Big Ma and Big Daddy." We gave them $5.00 in white money, some white cloth and white handkerchiefs as marks of friendship; the white showing that our hearts were pure toward them. WE ARE OFF AGAIN After two days we take our long walk again, on our way back to Monrovia for the Inauguration of President King and I, to go to Bassa to look after the location of the Workers there. We saw our first Inauguration of a Negro President. It was an inspiring sight, though it only resembled a meeting of one of our district Associations, but we believe as God lives a brighter day awaits Liberia. On Tuesday I took a freight boat for Bassa. I slept on the upper deck without quilt or millet, only the African dew and stars covered me. Only the god knew the torture of a musket and day but I got to Bas Thursday we got a chance to go St. John Rivers in a boat, putus within 7 miles of the Bible and Industrial Mission and we walk into the Station about six that evening. THEY ARE HERE Briette Hodson met us as we entered the grounds, fell on our neck and wont for joy. We reached the house 'in' from our all day journey in the sun Doctor Sisua with wife, children and Miss Bryan are happy but their belongings are stunned 14 miles along the way. This Mission is six years old and has not had an accident until the day the Doctor and our Nurse arrived when a small native child, about three years old broke its leg. With kelves they 'got to work, made splinters set the limb and fixed it up, so today after a week the little one is sitting up. Saturday, January 10th, we went to a little Association. We remained here Saturday and Sunday. The Doc tor and Miss Bryan were introduced and the people thanked God and the churches in America, for a Doctor, Nurse and a Dentist. Oh the sleekness and the sores to be treated here! On Monday, the 11th, I got off for Suech again at a cost of $10.00. Tues day we went up the St. Paul River, and Wednesday, after helping Broth er Nichols get ten men and boys off with loads, at 2:00 P. M., we started on our 20 mile hike. We over estimated our strength so the sun went down on us two miles or more from the station. The carriers were tired so we hastened on and left them. As I got a little way ahead I recalled all I had heard of the boa-constrictor hanging over the way to get its food, so I watched for him prayed the Lord I would not see one. Only a monkey crossed our path and by the time it was dark good we were at the Mlson again. Since being here 22 days we have gone by launch and boat 153 miles, by canoe 10 miles and walked 122 miles. We are in good health, but taking 5 grain tablets of quinine daly and leaning hard on the Lerch God. Of course my head roars and I hear things. THANK YOU On finding ourselves hedged in in England, we appealed to a few of our brethren at home—remembering, the board, would have to organize to get money for us, so to save time and suffering we acted as we believed for the best. Only for the timely help of those Godly brethren we would have suffered untold hardship, if not hung er and great humiliation. They did not give once or twice, but indeed they gave a dozen times for the river and road transportation in Africa could never have been accomplished without it. We are quite sure our board will not punish any of us for this act as it saved the day for the Army in the field of God even as did Grant, Foch and Pershing won undying fame for their Governments by striking at the right time and reporting afterwards. CONCLUSION. We have public services on the 25th instant when Miss E. B. DeLouay gives over this Station to Miss D. E. Harris and Rev. D. S. Nichols. She hopes to return to the States with us for rest. She greatly needs it, after six years hard work here. She is to take part in the Tuter-church as well as in our own Drive for men, women and money, to have all men every where hear the gospel in this Generation. She is counting on Doctor White and his good people for her ticket home, costing $300.00. We hope to start home by the last of February. I have appealed to the Board for my fare home and hope to get it in good time for sailing. It is now 10:30 P. M., and all on the Station are asleep. The bats and other Inhabitants of a dark African night fill the air with their noise, so I must close with God bless Peoples and Pastors at home and a prayer that He will take care of those who stay here. I am. Yours in His service. L. G.

Williams Clifford, Speech Representative Washington, D. E. The Negro race in America has entered upon a new epoch in its evolution. The barriers which have kept our people in subjection are giving way and an era of real freedom and better days are dawning. It may be said that while the Civil War caused the abolition of slavery, the World War has been instrumental in opening wider the door of opportunity to the colored race. We all feel that a change is taking place and that it is a change for the better for the 14,000 000 people which the present census will show to be the colored population of the United States. The colored race in America is slowly but surely working out its own destiny. That our people will rise to greater and greater things is the belief of all thoughtful observers. From the lowest depths of misery in which our ancestors struggled under the inhuman tortures of the lash and degrading conditions on Southern plantations, the Negro race is rising to its proper place in accordance with the divine law of compensation. God works through individuals his wonders to perform. Bene fits to the race cannot come of their own accord. The great lassoon which the past teaches is that our people must cooperate. They must work to together for the advancement of the race. There must be racial solidarity to accomplish the results we all desire. Our forefathers blazed the way out of the jungle of slavery, leaving their children a heritage which they themselves did not enjoy. At a recent gathering of representative colored men in Washington, DC, a number of whom had served the country with honor and distinction in the American Expeditionary Forces in France, it was the consensus of opinion that the time had arrived, to begin an active propaganda for the betterment of the Negro people. It is authoritatively stated that no less than 400,000 Negro Americans wore the National uniform in the Army and Navy and contributed to the final victory of making the World safe for Democracy. The time has arrived when self-definition should be applied to the Negro race in America, which out numbers many of the races in Europe who are enjoying more freedom as the result of the great conflict. Many reforms are necessary for the colored race and numerous battles remain to be fought in the hall of legislation and elsewhere for a better degree of equality—for the inalienable rights guaranteed to all American citizens under the Constitution. It is cheering to know that a group of inspired and aggressive leaders are at work on various problems at the National Capital They are seeking the cooperation of other leaders of the race in Boston, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Montgomery, St. Louis and elsewhere. The foundation of a broad and powerful propaganda is being laid, which will have a far-reaching influence. It is proposed to extend this campaign of education and enlightenment into the newspapers and magazines of the country into churches, schools, moving pictures, etc. The leaders of the movement have learned valuable lessons from the manner in which forms of propaganda have been carried for the education of the white American. "The Struggle" is the title chosen for a ten real motion picture which will portray Negro life in this country in its true light. Into what will prove a drama of transcendent interest, it is proposed to weave a most powerful and gripping appeal for justice that will be shown in practically all of the twenty thousand moving picture theatres of the United States. This will result in a great service to the colored race in making them better understood and removing race prejudice wherever it exists. The Washington leaders cannot be claused as dreamers or visionaries. They are men of practical experience who have the courage of their convictions. They are men of actions rather than words. They believe in "suiting" the action to the word, the word to the action." They possess energy, self-reliance and decision of character. Appreciating the importance of moving pictures, they have already enlisted the aid of leaders in the motion picture industry in New York and have been assured that the best talent in the country and the most successful business management is at the service of the colored race in the production of one or more motion picture dramas that will be the talk of the nation. The present movement, which had its inception in Washington, is spreading to all parts of the country and is looking to aid not only the present generation, but to build for the future as well. It looks forward to the time when members of the colored race will not only preach but practice race solidarity; when Negro citizens will practice self-relief and encourage enterprises among their own people; when they will prove by their actions and investments in advance the upbuilding of the race; when they will not be envious of the success of their associates in business; when they will make one office, if not necessary, for the good of the race and to improve conditions for the benefit of their children and grandchildren. With a population exceeding fourteen million colored people in the United States, the time is not far distant when the Negro race will exert a powerful influence in all walks of life. They will be represented strongly in Congress and State Legislatures. They will have their own representatives in the motion picture industry producing the kind of pictures that they want which will have an unifying influence instead of those which are a travesty on the race. As a result of this movement the color of people will also have their own moving picture theatres in which they and their children can sit in the orchestra instead of in the gallery. That the colored people of both the North and the South will support these theatres, owned and managed by their own race and showing their own sound picture productions, is a for no conclusion.

A. Moses, D. D., from earth's gloomy shores to celestial plains of unclouded bliss, is another striking reminder that "It is appoint ed unto man, once, to die." A divine providence which reaches beyond the range of human vision and rise above human interpretation has gloriously warted the immortal spirit of a husband, father, brother, and friend away from all that is caral and common and has numbered a saint with angelic throngs and hosts residing in Glory land. The death of this man of God, re moves from us, first of all, a man. One who was worthy of being called such, from head to foot he was a man, yea every inhe a man. But it is better still to think of our brother as one who had been with Jesus and learned of Him. His spirit ual insight was keen, his convictions deep, while his faith was large, increasing, abiding and satisfying. was, more or less, manifest in the words, work and ways of the deceased. At home he was calm, quiet, paints taking and thoughtful as host, faith ful as husband and inexpressibly affectionate as father. In church he was sincere and devout either as preacher or auditor. And we rejoice in the imminent degree to which our brother's labors were successful, on account of his consecrated life, certain and sound convictions and untiring zeal. And in him was a potent, positive and constructive force, in exertion, for his race and denomination in general and the work of the Virginia Baptist State convention in particular. At all times and under all circumstances, firmly he stood at his post of duty, and is voice never failed to ring out for the cause he represented. As a preacher, Dr. Moses, stood, proudly among the gospel heralds of the front line. Truly he did have a passion for preaching. Most of his public messages were red hot sermons hurled from the blood stained brow of Calvary, with irresistible force and unanswerable power. In view of the mortal extinction of such a life, we the officers and members of the Ministers Union of Newport News, Hampton and vied with them it but a Christian duty to publicly express our sense of sorrow, loss and regret in the death of Dr. Moses. But we believe that our sorrow, loss and regret, in this case, divinely transformed to eternal joy, gain and gladness in the heavenly world. There core it only remains for us to pledge ourselves as follows: To extend to all the members of the bereft family our sincest gymnasts and fervent prayers, that Jesus, "the man of sorrows," may bind up the hearts that are broken and wipe away the tears that are flowing. To renew our fidelity and loyalty to our Lord and Master and improve in our Christian affection and bright kindness to one another as our living fellow ministers and sufferers in Christ Jesus. $8,325.34 October 1918 5,543.17 November 1918 5,022.55 February 1920 ETY OF VA., INC., HOME OFFI Y-MANAGER W.

The classes as a whole were taught by our Pastor, who was equal to the task. Owing to an engagement made some time ago, our pastor gave way in order for Rev. W. E. Banks of Manakin, Va., to proach. The Rev. chose for his subject "Watch Ye." The Rev. certainly preached a good sermon. We had an enjoyable time Sunday at 3:30 P. M., in looking up and seeing what the Scriptures said about Satan and learning of his cunning ways. It was very interesting as we listened to our pastor discuss various passages concerning that old Serpent or Lucifer. Tomorrow at eleven thirty A. M. the pastor will use as his subject "The Devil The Prince of the Powers of the Air." We know you are coming to hear the Rev. 3:30 P. M. will be our communion services. 8:30 P. M. Rev.

FIVE GARGLE THROAT WITH LIQUOSEPTOL Medical Scientists in the past few months have disproved the theory that colds are caused, as are commonly supposed, from cold draughts of air or from lack of protection to certain parts of the body. It now seems, more evident than ever before, that the first contraction of a cold is from disease germs which gain entrance to the system through the secretionary glands of the throat. The mouth constantly molested with saliva becomes an ideal breeding place for disease germs which are found to circulate so largely in improperly ventilated places, such as theatres, office buildings, and often in closely crowded street cars. One of the best ways to protect your throat from these disease germs is to use a daily mouth wash of Liquoseptol. Liquoseptol is a powerful antiseptic superior to other preparations of its kind, yet it is absolutely free from all irritating properties. $I_{n}$ daily use it has proven a destroying agent to disease germs and fermentation. Liquoseptol is $a_{n}$ invaluable preparation for use in the sick room, in the bath, for nasal catarrh, sore throat, cuts, abrasions and crusions of the skin. When suffering from indigestion or fermentative dyspepsia Liquoseptol taken in water will give relief. Clip this ad, take it to your druggist, get a bottle and have it on hand for general use.

Ebony Correspondence Club, Box 22, Carson Station, Pittsburgh Pa. 1 SIX DRY REBELLION IN MICHIGAN. Chicago, Feb. 22. "A rebellion against prohibition" has broken out in Iron county, Michigan and the county, led, by its Prosecuting Attorney, is in open revolt" against Federal authority, Major A. L. Dalrymple, Ferer al Prohibition Director for the Central States, notified Washington today. A prohibition agent and a party of Michigan State constables were held up February 19 by Iron County officials and wine they had confiscated taken from them, according to word brought to Chicago today by Leo J. Grove of Marquette, supervising prohibition agent for the Upper Peninsula. Major Dalrymple appealed to Attorney-General Palmer to order warrants issued for the arrest of the Prosecutor, two deputy sheriffs, two police officers and three other residents of Iron River, a mining village. While awaiting word from Federal authorities Dalyrupte issued orders for a company of picked prohibition agents to gather here tonight preparatory to starting tomorrow on an arm expedition which, he declared, will "clean up" Iron County. The Michigan State Constabulary will be asked to cooperate in the expedition. Grove, accompanied by Lieut. R. G. Strope and Troopers Masters and Kind of the State Constabulary seized eleven barrels of wine at a mine two miles from Iron River, he reported to Maj or Dalyrupte today. The wine is said to have been made by John Peter and Steven Scalceucci, wealthy Italians, who own several business ventures at Iron River. Grove loaded the liquor into a sleigh and started to move it to Caspian, headquarters of the Stato Constabulary in that section of the pennsula. When the sleigh reached Iron River it was met by Prosecuting Attorney P. A. McDonough, Deputy Sheriffs Chard and Jesse Allen, Police Chief C. H. Sensiba and Police Captain Claude Brown. McDonough according to Grove's report, told the prohibition supervisor that he was "under arrest for transporting liquor" and ordered his men to seize the wine. Grove put up a fight, but was overpowered. The wine he says, was returned to the Scalceau brothers by McDonough who the reports adds, told the brothers to post an armed guard over it, with orders to shoot if the Federal Agent tried to regain possession. After receiving the report Major Dalrymple asked that Attorney-General Palmer instruct the United States Commissioner at Marquette, Mich. to issue the warrants. Grove reported that District Attorney Myron H. Walker at Grand Rapids had ordered the Commissioner to issue no warrants without first submitting them to him which takes from five to fifteen days. Samples of the wine seized in the raid, taken some time ago, tested 14 per cent. alcohol. Iron River, a small village in the mining country, is a few miles from the Wisconsin line. The population of the county is largely composed of Italians and Sicilians, according to Grove and bootlegging has been rampant in the hills and woods for months. The Michigan State constabulary tried to "clean up" the county a few months ago, and Captain Marsh of the constabulary was shot by a bootleger. BATTLE OF DRYS AND WETS IS NEAR IN MINE REVOLT. Apprehension of Shurifis, Police and Citizens Also Is Determined. Prohibition Leader Warns of Trouble if State Aphorities Continue to Oppose. Chicago, Feb. 23.—Major A. V. Dalrymple supervisor of prohibition enforcement for the Central Division, left here with a band of armed Federal agents at 6 o'clock this evening for Iron County, Mich., where, it was reported there was a rebellion against prohibition. Major Dalrymple declared that he was going to Iron county for "a showdown between the Federal Government and the violators of the Federal (Eighteenth) Amendment. He declared that he would arrest P. A. McDonough, Prosecuting Attorney of Iron County; two Deputy Shoriffs, the Captain of Police and three "influential citizens" of the district wherein the alloged revolt occurred. "I do not want bloodshed, but if the State authorities stand in the way I am going to shoot," he said just before he left Chicago. Denial of a report of rebellion against prohibition enforcement in Iron County was made by Mr. McDonough to the correspondent of The Sun and New York Herald here this evening. Speaking over the long distance telephone, Mr. McDonough declared that it was "as quiet as a gravyard" there, and that there was no rebellion. He asserted that he was "helping the Federal agents every way possible." However, Maj. Dalrymple looks on the situation through other glasses. He declared that he had authority from the Government in Washington to make arrests, and that he would do so. MUST BE SHOWDOWN. This is a shadow between the Federal Government and the violators of the Federal amendment, he said I am going to enforce prohibition. I do not want bloodshed but if the State A REVELATION! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucinda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and saw dreams and visions; was commanded by God to write the wonders she saw into a book. This book tells about the seven year famine that began in 1917 and will last for seven years and extends to the foreign lands. She saw also a series of diseases rage among the people and saw them starving and dying so fast that there were not enough living left to bury the dead, and this is already in the land.

I do not believe that the rowdyism displayed by the State officials, as reopted to me, represents the feelings of the people of Michigan. These people showed by their vote some time before the amendment just what they thought of prohi bifton. Maj. Dalrymple is proceeding on the theory that the arrest of Mr. McDonough and other Iron county officials is necessary. It was authoritatively stated that a request was made by federal agents here on United States Commissioner Hatch in Marquette, for warrants to arrest these officials. The request was refused, it was asserted on instructions by Myron H. Walker, United States District Attorney in Grand Rapids. Immediately it M. Gayler, assistant rohibility commissioner here, instructed Maj. Dalrymple to proceed under arms to Iron County and arrest the men without warrants and then to report to ltm. Major Dalrymple referred to Mr. Walker as 'a wet through and through'. The possibility of trouble between the Dalrymple forces and citizens of Iron county is regarded here as imminent. Major Dalrymple should arrive there early tomorrow morning, Mr. McDonough, whose arrest is asked has a large following among the citizens and foreigners of the county. With the Dalrymple force is Leo J. Grove, prohibition commissioner for Iron county, who it was charged was arrested and stripped of his authority by Mr. McDonough after Mr. Grove had arrested three wealthy Italians and seized eleven barrels of wine, Mr. Grove arrived in Chicago today and made a full report to Major Dalrymple. It was after he had received this report that Major Dalrymple got into communication with Washington and it was definitely decided to make an armed movement, into Iron coun- PROSECUTOR DENIES REVOLT. In his statement to the correspondent of the Sun and New York Herald Mr. McDougough categorically denied the reports of trouble in Iron county, "Everything is as quiet as a grave yard up here," he said. "There is no rebellion. I am helping the Federal agents every way possible. Iron county is one of the most patriotic counties in America. It is true that we have a lot of Italians and their foreigners here, but they are patriotic. They bought more than their share of Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps. Their showing in the Red Cross and Salvation Army drives was very creditable. I have wired to the Governor and to the Attorney General in Washington to send their own men to investigate conditions here. I think it will be found that the parties who started this report of a rum rebellion are a lot of cheap politicians who other are seeking notoriety or a 'stand in' with the present Administration. I am enforcing prohibition to the limit, and I defy any man to contradict that statement, to my face. I will be the first man in Iron county to extend the hospitality of Michigan to Major Dalrymple when he arrives here tomorrow. Somebody has blundered badly some where along the line, however, I think that after all the smoke has passed away it will be found that this was a case of 'political cohorts' wandering from their tents.
