BRYAN SOUAREY AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT
Favors the Acceptance of the Treaty With Senate Reservations.
URGES MAYORITY EIGHTS
Sees Wilson Broken Down and Written Information Essential to Safe Leadership.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 10.—President Wilson has been denied information "essential to sound judgment and safe leadership" William J. Bryan said here today in a statement commenting on Mr. Wilson's call to the Democrat party to carry the fight for recruitment of the treaty of Versailles into the presidential campaign.
"Broken down in health by the weight of care and anxieties such as have fallen to no other occupant of that high office the chief executive has been denied the information essential to sound judgment and safe leadership." Mr. Bryan said.
Whether the Senate acted wisely or unwisely in the adoption of reservations, it acted upon a constitutional authority as complete as the authority which the same Constitution confers upon the President, he added, and indented the reservations by a majority of eighteen. The fifty-seven Senators—thirty-four Republi cans and twenty three Democrats—who agreed upon reservations, he continued constituted more than two-thirds of the seventy-seven Senators who favored ratification but differ ed upon reservations.
"The issue now is whether the Democratic party believes in the fun damental principles of the Democracy — namely, the right of the majority to rule," said Mr. Bryan adding that the President asks the Democratic party to make a campaign on the theory that the presumption of wisdom is with twenty Democratic Senators instead of with he majority of the Senate or even the majority of the Democrats of the Senate.
Mr. Bryan urged immediate ratification with the reservations already agreed upon leaving the nation the opportunity to secure afterwards in the league such changes as might be deemed necessary.
"Democratic friends of the league of nations," he said, "should join Republican friends of the league, and by so doing make the issue out of the campaign and speak peace to war-die traced Europe."

Within two hours from that time, he was himself a corpse. It occurs that he had been suffering with his throat, which had been diagnosed as tonsillitis. He was a hearty cater and the fact that he could not swallow with any degree of satisfaction on account of pain caused him to decide upon having his tonsils removed. The surgeons came, both of whom stand high in the white medical position and began to prepare him for the operation by the administration of other.
There was commotion in the Johnson household when it was announced from the operating room that George was dead. The news spread like wildfire. He was one of the most popular young men in the city.

THE MINISTERS CONFERENCE.
The Minister's conference of Richmond and vicinity met at the First Baptist Church in a joint session with the Shiloh Baptist Association. The meeting was well attended. Many pastors from out of town were presenit. Shiloh endorsed the Interchurch world movement heartily after having heard addresses from Dr. E. Payne, Dr. W. T. Johnson and our State Director, Dr. W. H. Stokes. The conference also went on record by holding a resolution conferring the creating of a theatre for colored people at the corner of Flist and Clay streets loss than 30 feet from the New Baptist Church.

For some unknown reasons the conference was forced to appoint another program committee. A similar condition may obtain with regard to support on the Secretary and Treasurer's work.
information has come to some of us that Rev. W. W. Young has not resigned the pastorate of his church. Although being requested to install the new pastor, Rev. Young in his remarks had the church to distinctly understand that he would recognize the new preacher as his assistant only and that the record of the church should be so changed as to conform to his ruling.
It is better not to attempt to erase an error if by the attempt you make another.

BRYAN SQUARELY AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT.
Favors the Acceptance of the Treaty With Senate Reservations.
URGILES MAJORITY'S RIGHTS
Says Wilton Broken Down and Written Information Essential to Safe Leadership.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 10.—President Wilton has been denied information "essential to sound judgment and safe leadership" William J. Bryan said here today in a state event commenting on Mr. Wilson's call to the Democratic party to carry the fight for ratification of the treaty of Versailles into the presidential campaign.
"Broken down in health by the weight of careers and anxieties such as have fallen to no other occupant of that high office the chief executive has been denied the information essential to sound judgment and safe leadership." Mr. Bryan said.
Whether the Senate acted wisely or unwisely in the adoption of reservations, it acted upon a constitutional authority as complete as the authority which the same Constitution confers upon the President, he added, and indorsed the reservations by a majority of eighteen. The fifty-seven Senators—thirty-four Republican cans and twenty three Democrats—who agreed upon reservations, he continued constituted more than two-thirds of the seventy-seven Senators who favored ratification but differed upon reservations.
"The issue now is whether the Democratic party believes in the fundamental principles of Democracy — namely: the right of the majority to rule," said Mr. Bryan adding that the President asks the Democratic party to make a campaign on the theory that the presumption of wisdom is with twenty Democratic senators instead of with the majority of the Senate or even the majority of the Democrats of the Senate.
Mr. Bryan urged immediate ruffiation with the reservations already agreed upon leaving the nation the opportunity to secure afterwards in the league such changes as might be deemed necessary.
"Democratic friends of the league of nations," he said, "should join Republican friends of the league, and by so doing take the issue out of the campaign and speak peace to war-disacted Europe."

“It is time that the party should
proudly avow that it means to try,
without flinching or, turning at any

BREAKING INTO THE DRMO
CRATIC PARTY.
The action the colored supporters of Hon. John Hirschberg in endeavoring to have the Democratic Primary recently held for the nomination of candidates for the Mayoralty and other city offices declared null and void is an interesting, if not an amusing state of affairs. It is to settle the question as to the legal right of a citizen of color to vote in the Democratic primary, legalized by law, when the rules, regulations and by-laws specify. Just what citizens should be permitted to join said Party. When a party agrees the majority or all of the people has that party the legal right is to discriminate against some of the citizens on account of race, color or religion on?
The Attorney General of the State says that it has that right. This construction of the law is laid down and interpreted by the Executive Department of the Government and its legal Attorney must stand until it has been over ruled by the Judicial Department of the Government and we presume that this appeal to the courts is for the purpose of deciding this most embarrassing question. But all of the colored folks were not in favor of Hon. John Hirschberg, although a considerable number were for him and his supporters.
There are a large number of colored folks, who would have voted for Mayor George Amble, had they been permitted so to do. Would it not be well for them to join in with those dissenters in order to emphasize the position in this matter? Mayor Amble has been exceedingly popular with many of our best colored citizens and certainly, if the colored citizens are "raising Cain" because they were not permitted to register their votes for this popular champion of the interests of labor, the others, who were enthusiastically in favor with the good-looking, suave and accommodating Mayor should be permitted to raise "Sheel" for the same reason.
But, joking aside, we are not enough interested in the contention to go around a corner to see the result of the controversy. Why should colored citizens want to break into the Democratic Party, when the men inside of the Party are not interested enough to contend for the elimination of this unjust discrimination within the Democratic Party itself? Certainly, no colored man could hope to be nominated in the primary, if he must necessarily plead for the right to vote in this same Negro-hating organization.
When we wish to show our appreciation of any popular Democrat, we do this at the regular election. These devoted colored men can do the same thing in this instance. They were not permitted to vote for Mr. Hirschberg in the primary election, but they will be permitted to vote for him in the regular election. Let them write his name on the ballot, as a testimonial of their devotion to his cause. Those colored folks, who believe in the accomplished Mayor of this city can vote the Democratic ticket with the names the reason of such democrats as they choose to honor with their suffrage.
We do not know who is paying the expense of this present litigation which we presume is more to affect failure primary elections than to up set the past one, but we presume as the lawyers are front and foremost in the matter that they are doing it free of cost to the devotees, who continue to worship at the John Hirsch boog shrine. The time is not far distant when southern white men will realize that colored citizens can be just as honorable in a Democratic primary as they were faithful in Republican Party Conventions. Certain it is, this bar against us on account
of color should be removed and the "brother in black" given an opportunity to express his approval inside of the Democratic Party of some of the best white friends he has ever had the privilege of serving.
SENATOR KNOWS PEACE
RESOLUTION.
The able speech of Senator Philan-
ter C. Knox of Pennsylvania in support of his peace resolution has made a profound impression upon the country to the extent of calling attention to the fact that the distinguished statesmen and Chief Executive, whose friends claimed that "he kept us out of war" is now being phil-
lored, so to speak by his political enemies with the claim that "he kept us out of peace" Senator Knox's argument in support of the contention that the same power that is authorized under the Constitution to declare war is by the same reasoning authorized to end a war that it has declared has received enthusiastic support from many parts of this country.
Senator Knox is now in the limelight, by virtue of Senator Penrose's naming of him as a presidential candidate. We believe that he would make an ideal Chief Executive but tor one fact—he is a statesman of transcendent ability and those kind of men do not land in presidential offices except by accident, as war the case with Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Still, this war has brought about many changes. The people want peace, both in law and in fact. They are weary of this unsettled condition of affairs.
They do not want any League of Nations with its endless broils and bicklings with the peoples of the Old World. If we can succeed in "minding our own business" and employ our own people in our own rulls and factories with profitable wages and sell those goods at satisfactory prices, prosperity will be not everywhere in this land and we shall be at peace. Even now, President Wilson's life would not be sae in some parts of Europe on account of his attitude with reference to certain small nations.
Let us hope that the Knox resolution with its skillfully worded provisions may pass both houses of the Congress in a manner that will make it the law of the land and give us peace.
Prayers are all right if you offer enough of them, but do not let prayers interfere with your work, else you may have more time to pray and no time to work.
People, who pray all the time belong in heaven where it is all prayer and no work. Down here, we should pray while we work.
Some people have high temper and some people have low temper and some other people have no temper at all
The colored woman at Hampton, who put a white soldier in a hospital for insulting her and whose fighting qualities awakened the admiration of her white neighbors should endear to estolist in the regular United States Army. She is certainly entitled to the exercise of the right of suffrage.
Colored folks are divided on cancili dates just like the white folks.
People, who are dead do not have to pay bills or suffer from the blunders of the Democratic Party.
All of the Elaine rioters, who were granted a new trial by the Arkansas Supreme Court have been again convicted and sentenced.
Death seems to be playing havoc with the undertakers in this city, but he seems to be making no haste in calling the physicians in the same city.
People, who make money are spending it and not much of it is going to charitable institutions either.
If people would pay their bills as promptly as some other people ask favors, there would be a big improve ment in this world.

A small bottle of "Dandereine" costa but a few cents at any drug store. "Dandereine" is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation, making the hair grow long, strong and beautiful. Besides beautifying the hair, "dandereine" stops hair falling out, all daffault disappears and scalp never itches.
Try "Dandereine" and just see what long, soft, attractive hair you can have.

Mr. Dodson, the "Liver Tone"
Man, Tells the Treachery
of Calomel.
Calomel loses you a day! You know,
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick-
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamics,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel billious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel
just remember that your druggist sells
a for a few cents a large bottle of Dodonea's
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomell. It can not be trusted any more than a leopard or a wild-cat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone which straightons you right on and makes you feel fine. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

CALOMEL
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury—quicksilver; and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work.
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead!
Here's my guarantee! Ask your druggist for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and take a spoonful tonight. If it doesn't start your liver and straighten you right up better than calomel and without giping or making you sick I want you to go
ASPIRIN
Introduced by "Bayer" to P
"Bayer" to Physicians in 1900
You want genuine Aspirin—the Aspirin prescribed by physicians for nineteen years. The name "Bayer" means the true, world-famous Aspirin, proved safe by millions of people. Each unbroken package of "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" contains proper directions for Colds, Headache, Toothache, Earache.
Aspirin is trade mark of Bayer Manufacture Menlo

back to the store and get your money.
Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake up feeling great. It's perfectly harmless, so give it to your children any time. It can't salivate, so let them eat anything afterwards.
Neuralgia, Lambago, Rheumatism, Neuritis and for Pain generally.
Always say "Bayer" when buying Aspirin. Then look for the safety "Bayer Cross" on the package and on the tablets.
Handy tin boxes of twelve tablets cost but a few cents. Druggists also sell larger packages.

Wilson to the Demdcrats of Oregon

badly split,
‘The first effect which the telegram.
had here was to throw into a panie
the followers of Senator George 1
Chamberlain whe is ranning for re-
nomination in the Democratic prim
artes and who on the Inst ballot tn
the Senate, voted for the ratification
of the treaty with the Lodge pro
gram of reservations. Gradually,
however, the Chamberlain followers
are overcoming their fear of defeat
and are predicting that Chamberlain
will win over his opponent, Harvey
©. Starkweather in the primaries on
May 21 regardless of the President's
attitude.
Starkweather Is running on a plat
form endorsing the League of Nat
fons without reservations and G. BE.
Hamaker, chairman of the Multno
mah Democratic County Committee,
who sent the Dr. EB. request which
drow the President's message, is Stark

Tho possibilities of tho situation

zigram of the Democratic party,

gossip among political leaders as well
as the peapie in the Coast States,
that a compramise probably would be
reached at the Demveratic national
conyention in San Francisco.

NATION NEEDS PEACR, KNOX
TELLS SENATE.
(Continued From Last Weck.)
Mr. Knox said:
"Mr. President, our attication is once more turned to measures designed to bring to our country peace. More than 17 months ago the last shot in the great war was fired. From that time until the present we in this country have been living subject to an unreasoning war-time rule which is unnecessary in practice, un known in precedent and anomalous in law.
"The welfare and safety of the Nation imperatively demands that we know we have peace. The whole world see these with revolution. Our own Nation is in ferment and turmoil. Force and strife are rampant and threaten the destruction not only of our property but of our free institutions and even of our very lives. And yet we stand, and have stood for months as a rudderless ship founding in the trough of tremendous seas. We must not dare longer to delay a return to the ordered government of peace; we must not hazard a further postponement in turning our unyielding deliberations to our home productions. They are great enough, but the tax laws remain within which we possess as a preliminary step, the decisive must be returned to his peace times powers and preoccupatives. Need property, wisdom cannot question this. The resolution before us is designed to bring us to this.
MUST SIEAK' FRANKLY.
As I proceed in my remarks I shall be forced to make observations which I wash not needful, to advert certain conditions and situations which it were infinitely please enter to blink or ignore, for it is an unavoidable task to judge one who has fallen in the public esteem. But the time has come when we must speak plainly of facts as they exist, because this situation which confronts us can not otherwise be understood and met. But I assure you that in such judgments as I shall pass I shall proceed calmly and without bitterness, because I entertain only sympathy for the President in his fitness and sympathy for the country which must suffer under him because of it. But when danger threatens the nation, it must be met forefronted and he who ventures to intervene against the safe and wise course must step aside or be crushed. And so, sir, we must proceed now in the rescue of the people from their present, unhappy state, leaving the weight of the censure and response bility for past errors and misadventures to fall where it may.
The course of the President ever since he cruised to Europe to participate in the peace conference leaves no chance for doubt that he will continue, hereafter as heretofore, to thwart, so far as he is able, every attempt on the part of the Senate the Congress or the people to take any action immediately or remotely affecting in however slight a degree, through change or modification, the provisions of the treaty of Versailles as it came to us fresh from his signature. He has preferred to keep the country in an alleged state of war for now almost a year rather than abate one jot or title of the full measure his isolated will had set for the nation.
USED ALL HIS POWERS
Constitutional order, lawful functions, rights and duties of position caths of office as affecting the members of this body he has noticed only to bring into contempt He has conquered up every power within the whole vast executive domain in his efforts to compel him Senate to surrender his will and judgment to him to be compere more automations to register his mandate—to approve this treaty in its last minute of detail as he sent it to us. In saying all this I am not sir, permitting myself to exaggerate; I am not allowing myself the license of fervid discourse; I am merely recording the simple truth genrally admitted by even his friends
Now, in the face of this situation it will be idle for us to pass any resolution looking to the immediate establishment of peace that does not contemplate the unqualified acceptance of the treaty. If that resolution requires from the President the performance of any act or duty, in order to secure peace, because if we do be will, if the statements of his representatives are accepted so delay or ignore that act or duty as to defeat the end and purpose of our actor for in his opinion wisdom lies only in following the heaths of his will. Therefore if the resolution is to be effective it must be self-operative. Nothing necessary to the bringing of peace must be left for his as compulsion.
FOR PEACE TIME ASSOCIATIONS
I say this in the belief that what we all seek is an actual personalized peace a resumption of our present time availabilities under normal peace-time conditions, and that we are seeking it, not for the more partisan advantage of certainly shifting the burden
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. The book is sold at 60 cents and is on sale at Mrs. Davenport's, 710 N. First Street, also at Mr. O. R. Robinson's Wonderful Hair Grower and Restorer, 1103 W. Leigh Street, Richmond, Va.

of responsibility for any failure to have peace, but because we honestly believe that peace is indispensable to the salvation of this great government and people. For this reason our proposed resolution must stand so that in all of its essentials looking toward peace, it will be operative without any executive action. This is the first and most fundamental requisite of any resolution which we shall pass.
But in order to determine accurately whether the reolution offered will meet this requirement and will so establish peace time ordered government in this country we must carefully consider two factors: First the international situation now existing, together with the rules and principles controlling it; and second, the present domestic situation and the constitutional principles therein involved.
THE POLICE ARREST WOMEN ON SHOPLAFTING CHARGE.
Cargo Quintet With Theft of Goods
Worth $2,000 From Broad St.
Merchants.
Goods valued at more than $2,000 were recovered and five women, all of them married, and less than 20 years old, were arrested early yester day morning, following discovery by police Saturday of existence here of what police say is an organized band of shoplifters, who it is said have victimized many Richmond merchants.
Mrs. Grace Hutchinson, Mrs. Averyn King, Mrs. Rose Christian, Mrs. Margaret Murray and Mrs. Y. C. Luckley are the women arrested on charges of theft and shoplifting. All of the women are mothers except Mrs. Murray the police say.
Detective Sergants W. E. Waymack and Porey Tiller claim to have detected Mrs. Christian, Mrs. Buckley and Mrs. Hutchinson in the act in Miller and Rhonds' store Saturday afternoon. The women, according to the police confessed and implicated Mrs. Murray and Mrs. King.
Goods seized by the detectives, who were accompanied by Officer J. J. Dougherty, are said to have comprised an entire wagon-load. Included in the loot were sets of china, silverware, suits of clothing, dresses of the finest material, many pairs of silk hose; expensive furs; cut glass; chinaware and many bottles of fine and Company.
Mrs. King, aged 21, who lives on Thirty-first street is charged with the theft of a lady's dress from Mitteledorfer's. Mrs. Hutchinson, aged 21 who lives on 8th street is charged on four warrants with thefts from the Young Men's Shop, C. Haase & Sons, Miller and Rhoads and Murray Company.
Mrs. Christian is charged with thefts from Moyer Greentree, Miller and Rhoads and C. Haase and Sons. Mrs. Murray aged 24 employed by E. B. Haylor & Co., is charged with theft of goods from that concern. Testimony of the others it is said implicated her. Merchants on the South side also were victimized according to the alleged confession of one of the women. Other warrants will be sworn out against the women today it was said last night.
Wealthy Merchant Murdered.
Houston, Tex., May.—Mr. John Williams, 70 years old reputed to be one of the wealthiest Negroes in Houston was found murdered in the living quarters above his store in the 2200 Block on Lawrence Street. It was believed that he was killed about 10:40 o'clock the evening before neighbors having heard several shots at that time. Officers believe that robbery was not the entire motive, all though efforts apparently had been made to break into a safe.

BLACKSTONE NOTES
Blackstone Va. May 12.—The commencement exercises of the Nottoway Training School began Tuesday night of last week with the Senior Class exercises at Shiloh Baptist Church. Each member who took part in these exercises received the undivided attention and fondest adoration of the audience. Every member on the program proved to be up to the highest standard. On Thursday night a reception was given to the Seniors to the faculty in the dining hall of the Dormitory. On Friday night at Shiloh Baptist Church the seventh grade and Seniors took part in the exercises which consisted of songs; essays; addresses and the presentation of diplomas. The principal address on this occasion was made by Dr. James E. Gregg Principal of Hampton Institute. In the beginning of his remarks he spoke in the highest terms of the cordial welcome and hospitality ex
tended him while here. He next commended Prof. Botts on the splendid work he had accomplished during his two years stay here and congratulated the people of this community and section on securing such a man as Prof. Botts for this school. To say it in a few words, he praised Prof. Botts to the highest and truly he has merited this praise, stating that he and the officers of Hampton Institute are willing for the institution to be judged by the type of men such as the principal of Nottoway Normal School.
Dr. Gregg spoke on the subject of education. The meaning of the word, the kind to get and the application thereon. Education he said is to get the most out of our surroundings. He gave several illustrations on the subject and installed into the minds of his hearers that it was to be used as a gritish possession but to be applied so as to do the most good in the community. He also said that Campion Institute was ready and willing to do any thing to help this school go forward. Dr. Gregg urged all the graduates who would go away to school to come to training, seeing that Thompson Institute would be proud of them. He commended the entire faculty of the school on the excellent work being done by this school and especially was the teacher of the senior class, Miss Hortense D. Gregg luded for the sponge in training this class had received. Following Dr. Gregg's address, Prof. W. K. Wriggleworth, Superintendent of Schools for this county, made a few remarks. He could but say that the people of Blackstone and vicinity had been very, very fortunate both in securing Dr. Gregg to speak on this occasion and Prof. Bottle as principal for this school. Prof. Wriggleworth also commended the patrons of the school for their support. Thus has one of the most safe sessions the school has ever witnessed come to a close.
Next came the presentation of diplomas by Prof. Botts. The Senior Class, together with the Seniors-to-be marched from their seats up on the rostrum where the former were presented with their diplomas and the latter their certificate of promotion.
There is no doubt that Prof. Botts has done a great work here, if you don't believe it just go down to the school and see for yourself, and he is planning to do a great deal more. All we have to do is when we are called on to help out to respond liberally in whatever he may be asking us to help.
Last Sunday being the day set for the anniversary celebration of Odd Fellows in this country, Blackstone Lodge No. 7255 met in their hall and marched from there to Shiloh Baptist Church where they celebrated with an appropriate program. Rev. R. W. Ashburn preached the anniversary sermon, choosing for his text the following: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith!" - Gal. 6:10 This of course was a most appropriate text, and the manner in which Dr. Ashburn dwelt on it made it seem as though it was written for this very occasion. Every one commended the Reverend on the way he handled this text and the imPRESSION he made on the public as well as the Odd Fellows. Dr. T. J. Woolridge and Mr. Benjamin Stokes held excellent papers written from subjects of their own. Each gave a splendid account of themselves as an essayist. The entire collection taken up at the church was turned over to the deacons for church purposes, the expenses having been paid by the Lodge.
Most of the teachers who taught in the Normal Training School the past session left for their homes last Saturday.
Miss Ethel Blackwell left Monday to spend afew days with her uncle in Mecklenburg county, after which she will proceed to her home in Philadephia.
Miss Martha Hawkes came down Friday to attend the commencement exercises and spent the week-end with her sister, Mrs. R. M. Batts.

Chicago, May 10. — Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican Senate leader and author of the Lodge reservations to the league of nations covenant will sound the keynote of the coming presidential campaign at the National Republican Convention in Chicago on June 8.
The committee on arrangements to day selected Senator Lodge for termary chairman and voted to recommend to the convention that some one else be chosen permanent chairman to relieve Mr. Lodge of the strain of directing the entire convention. Four years ago Senator Harding of Ohio, filled both positions.
The committee's recommendations, according to several committeemen, probably will pave the way for the selection of former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana as permanent
BORAI'S NAME NOT MENTIONED

Asheville, N. C. May —The colored water is coming into fashion again in this city. Colored waiters are now being used in the leading restaurants being the first to return to their use.

A PLAYER FOR MISS COLES.
Want to raise $850 by the last of May for a Player to send to Africa, Walter D. Moses, and company will furnish an Acolion Player fifty rolls of music, one bench for $730, thining and boxing. The extra $100 is to help pay for the freight and printing. This player we want to present to Miss Coles after she returns home from her Bridal tour enroute to Africa.
An appeal to the Publift to raise funds to purchase a Player, including Religious records to be presented to Miss Elizabeth A. Coles one of the Public School teachers and missionaries who is about to leave us on our trip to the Heathen Lands where we believe God has called her to go and labor in that portion of Hls vineyard. In talking she expressed a desire to have a piano, it would help her so much in her work. I promised I would do all that was in my power to have her desire fulfilled.
Owing to my being sick in my home for nine weeks it has handicapped me. Therefore, to try to ful fill my promise I make this appeal to every Insurance, Public School teacher, society, club and citizen of Richmond to please give or send a donation to aid along this line, be it large or small.
Please deposit with name and ad dress all monies, or checks in the St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank. There will be a book to record all names of Insurances, teachers, societies, clubs and persons, so they can be given to Miss Coles and the names and amounts raised will be published each week. Every one now has a chance to render aid to this most worthy cause and show their missionary spirit towards the Heathens.
Thanking you in advance, and hop ing this plea will meet with a hearty co-operation of the public, I remain yours for the cause.

Madame Murray Stewart, as you can see by the picture, has a soft, light, smooth, beautiful complexion. You, too, can have the same soft light, smooth skin by applying Golden Brown Ointment to your face, neck, arms and hands. I urge our people to stop fooling themselves by using so-called "skin whiteners." We can't be white.
LOOK YOUR BEST AND BE PROUD OF YOUR RACE AND COLOR
Golden Brown Outtment is honest. It will brighten or lighten up our dark or sallow skin, take out the creases and wrinkles, remove pimples, blackheads, liver spots, bumps, tan, freckles, eruptions and stops itching skin. Heals eczema, ring worm and blotches of all kinds, Golden Brown Outtment is quickly out selling all other skin preparations because it is honest and don't claim to do miracles. Madame Murray Stewart advises us to be proud of our race and look our best as that heps us in our business or social best and most.
