It endorsed act on so long desired to have the editor RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS ed people recognized as a part of the citizenry of our proud city government! 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 Treasure'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.

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."

PARTY MUST KEEP FAITH League of Nations Is Hope of the World and America Must Accept Froffered Leadership. Washington, May 9.—A call to the Democratic party to go into the campaign standing four-square in favor of the treaty of Versallies and against the Senate's reservations was issued tonight by President Wilson in a telegram to G. E. Hamaker, chair man of the Portland (Orc.) Democratic Central Committee made public at the White House. Declaring that the party had "the Honor of the nation" in its hands, the President said that the Lodge reservations were "utterly inconsistent" with that honor as well as destructive of the role of world leadership which the United States must assume. Mr. Hamaker telegraphed the President: "Primary election May 21; please write well whether you consider it important to nominate candidates pledged to ratify Versallos treaty without Lodge reservations." WILSON URGES ACCEPTANCE The reply of the President follows: "I think it imperative that the party should at once proclaim itself the uncompromising champion of the nation's honor and the advocate of everything that the United States can do in the service of humanity; that it should therefore indorse and support the Versailles treaty and condemn the Lodge reservations as utterly inconsistent with the nation's honor and destructive of the world leadership which it had established and which all the free peoples of the world including the great powers themselves had shown themselves ready to welcome. "It is time that the party should proudly awow that it means to try, without flinching or, turning at any time away from the path for reasons of expediency, to apply moral and Christian principles to the problems of the world. It is trying to accomplish social, political and later national reforms and is not damned by any of the difficulties it has to contend with. Let us prove to ourate associates in the war that at any rate he great majority of the party of the nation, the party which expresses the true hopes and purposes of the people of the country, intends to keep faith with them in peace as well as in war. They gave their treasure, their best blood and everything they valued in order, not merely to beat Germany, but to effect a settlement and bring about arrangements of peace which they have now tried to formulate in the treaty of Versailles. They are entitled to our support in this settlement and in the arrangements for which they have striven. LEAGUE IS HOPE OF WORLD. "The league of nations is the hope of the world. As a basis for the armistice, I was authorized by all the great fighting nations to say to the enemy that it was our object in proposing peace to establish a general association of nations under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike and the covenant of the league of nations is the deliberate embodiment of that purpose in the treaty of peace. "The chief motives which led us to enter the war will be defeated unless that covenant is ratified and acted upon with vigor. We cannot in honor whittle it down or weaken it as the Republicans leaders of the Senate have proposed to do. If we are to exercise the kind of leadership to which the founders of the republic looked forward and which they depended upon their successors to establish we must do this thing with courage and unalterable determination. They expected the United States to be always the leader in the defense of liberty and ordered peace throughout the world and we are un worthy to call ourselves their successors unless we fulfill the great pur pose they entertained and proclaimed. DEFINES TRUE AMERICANISM *The true Americanization, the only true Americanism, is that which puts America at the front f free nations and redeems the great promis es which we made to the world when we entered the war, which was fought not for the advantage of any single nation or group of nations, but for the salvation of all. It is in this way we shall redeem the sacred blood that was shed, and make America THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA NEW INVENTION—SAVES 50 PER CENT.

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.

Chamberlain's Friends Discomfitte but rally for a Fight Over League Portland, Ore., May 10—The telegram sent yesterday by President Wilson to the Democrats of Oregon in which he insisted that the treaty of peace with the League of Nations without the Lodge reservations be indorsed by the party has loft the party in Oregon torn by emotions and badly split. The first effect which the telegram had here was to throw into a panic the followers of Senator George E. Chamberlain who is running for renomination in the Democratic primaries and who on the last ballot in the Senate, voted for the ratification of the treaty with the Lodge program of reservations. Gradually, however, the Chamberlain followers are overcoming their fear of defeat and are predicting that Chamberlain will win over his opponent, Harvey C. Starkweather in the primaries on May 21 regardless of the President's attitude. Starkweather is running on a platform endorsing the League of Nations without reservations and G. E. Humaker, chairman of the Multnomah Democratic County Committee, who sent the Dr. E. request which drew the President's message, is Starkweather's leading supporter. The possibilities of the situation created as it may affect the national program of the Democratic party, are looming up as the full significance of the President's telegram is understood. There has been much talk here lately that there has been a tuning away among Democrats and Republicans who have been followers of Wilson and who favored a League of Nations from the insistent attitude of the President, that the league must be adopted without the Republican reservations or not at all. In fact it has been common gossip among political leaders as well as the people in the Coast States, that a compromise probably would be reached at the Democratic national convention in San Francisco. The President's telegram has served to change the situation materially, and as a result the contest which is to be staged here in the Democratic primary when Chamberlain and Starkweather battle for the nomination for Senator will be in the form of a test of the sentiment on the league of Nations issue as put forward by President Wilson among the Democratic voters of the State. Those Democrats who feel that the President's stand on the League is too uncompromising and that either the Lodge reservations should be accepted or a middle ground program adopted hold that a Chamberlain victory in the primaries here cannot be viewed by the country otherwise than as proof of opposition to the Wilson stand. In like manner, repudiation of Chamberlain by the Democrats of Oregon would serve to strengthen Wilson's leadership at San Francisco. The National phase of the situation and the effect that the fight here will have in San Francisco were much discussed today. Leaders of both factions of the Democrat: Party in the fight on Chamberlain were reticent about committing themselves on the national issue in view of the delicacy of the situation. Democratic National Committee man Morrow who told The New York Times correspondent last night that he believed the Democrats of Oregon would stand by President Wilson at the convention in the event that the President insisted upon making a clean cut issue of the league made the following statement today after a careful study of the telegram: "I am in favor of a League of Nations. I had hoped for its adoption without reservations, but rather than see it fail would consent to such reservations as would insure its passage, providing such reservations do not impair its usefulness." Dr. C. J. Smith, the Democratic State Chairman, would not comment on the President's telegram, and other Democratic leaders such as ex Governor Oswald West, who is one of the principal Chamberlain supporters preferred to await later developments. DOUBT LINEUP AT SAN FRANCISCO. What the leaders are not sure about is whether President Wilton will be able to put the kind of a League of Nations plank which he desires in the platform at San Francisco. It is probably true that most of them think the President will accomplish his purpose unless there is a political miracle, but there are elements of doubt in the matter. The backers of Senator Chamberlain were inclined today to believe that President Wilson had not full knowledge of the situation here when he sent the telegram to Hamaker to realize that a direct blow was being dealt at Chamberlain. The President's telegram made no direct reference to Chamberlain's candidacy for the renomination. County Chairman Hamaker how, ever told the Times correspondent that such a viewpoint was a futile cue. I think, he said, "that President Wilson had letters before him which fully explained the situation before he sent the telegram. In fact, I can almost say that I know he had letters personally in his hands. I have taken the stalk from the first that Senator Chamberlain was not fit to be Senator, and I have taken the trouble to let every one who is close to the President know what I think. There can be no doubt as to the fact that the President knew what it was all about, and that Chamberlain, who opposed him on more than one occasion and also voted for the Lodge reservations to the treaty, running for renomination and would be endangered by the President's telegram. Hamaker, Starkweather, Postmaster Myers and others in that faction of the party who are endeavoring to overthrow Chamberlain are insistent in their statements that while the League of Nations issue may have quitted down because of other problems before the people here it need only some impetus such as they believe has been given by the President's telegram to arouse the interest and enthusiasm of Oregon Democrats. There is much local bitterness involved, but the league, from this time ate any rate will be the big issue of the pre-convention campaign here. On this basis the Hamaker Starkweather faction hopes to win its fight and thus serve the double purpose of obtaining its own cues by destroying Chamberlain, and at the same time giving Wilson's league program the endorsement of the Orson Democrats. Up to this time Starkweather's chances had not been supposed to be very favorable. NEGRO REPUBLICANS PREPARE TO RESIST. Newsome to Present Case to National Convention at Chicago. Representatives of the Negro Republicans from various districts through the state are present in Newport News in conference drawing up charges and a brief which will be presented through J. Thomas Newsome, general counsel for the Negro Republicans of the state, to the national Republican convention in Chicago showing that the Republican convention at Roanoke was not valid and that the Negroes have held the only convention which can be considered permissible. It is the contention of the Negroes that the convention called at Roanoke which excluded the Negroes was irregular in that it had been called on the strength of various district conferences held in places and under condition wherein Negroes were excluded from participation. Further the Negroes claim that the Roanoke Republican convention was held on the basis of the number of votes cast in the last gubernatorial election instead of the last presidential election which the Negroes claim is the real basis of representation. The brief as presented at the end of the conference here, will be taken to Chicago by Attorney Newsome as sisted by several other able Negro lawyers and the matter will come to the attention of the committee of credentials of which William Hays is chairman. Hays declares that there will be no "steam roller" in this convention and all such matters will receive a hearing. Newsome declared last night that in the event the Republicans at Chicago refused to admit the Negroes or give them a hearing the Negro Republicans of West Virginia, Ohio New York and Illinois will be called upon by the Virginia Negro Republicans to repudiate their affiliations with the party and support the Democrats. He declared that the Republicans of Virginia represented only those persons who were seeking favors of the party whenever it came, in control of the government. The meeting here will adjourn to night when the brief containing the charges against the Republicans who held the convention in Roanoke, declaring that convention in Roanoke charing that the convention irregular will be made out in its final form, with the asserment that the Negro convention in Richmond was the only legitimate convention of Republicans that has been held. —Newport News May 9, 1920. --- KEBEL TROOPS TAKE CITY OF VERA CRUZ.

NET 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 !

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.

Petition of four colored citizens for a new Democratic primary for mayor of Richmond was filed Satur day afternoon in the city circuit court by W. F. Denny, a Negro lawyer representing James Taylor, Charles M. Jackson, Lee Jackson and H. R. Williams all colored, who claim to have been refused the right to vote at the Sixth precinct of Jefferson ward in the recent Democratic primary. No date has been set for the hearing but copies of the petition are being served by Sheriff J. Herbert Mercer on Mayor George Ainslie and en Alexander Richardson, E. W. Marlow and W. E. Smith, election officers at the Sixth Jefferson precinct. The same petition was offered to Judge D. C. Richardson in the hung court and was endorsed by Judge Richardson as refused on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. Judge Richardson state," today that he had also refused the petition because thirty-one days had elapsed, the law requiring notice of such contest to be filed within thirty days. He wrote on the back of the petition 'Refused for want of jurisdiction'—see sec. 247, code 1919. The petition states that the four complaints and many other Negroes throughout the city would if admitted to the primary, have voted for John Hirschberg for mayor and that the admission of qualified Negroes would have changed the result. The action of the city Democratic committee in barring Negroes from the Democratic primary was taken in advice of the attorney general of Virginia. No date has as yet been set by the circuit court for hearing the petition of W. R. Fensom for a recount of ballots for common council in Clay ward. Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch May 8, 1920. COLORED MEN TRY TO' UPSET MAYORALITY PRIMARY Men Who Say They Were-for Hirschberg Charge Denial of Suffrage Account of Color Judge D. C. Richardson, in Hustings Court yesterday refused to consider a petition filed by W. F. Danny, colored for James Taylor asking that the results of the primary election for Mayor be declared null and void and that the returns be thrown out. Judge Richardson gave as his reason for not receiving the petition in his court as lack of jurisdiction. According to the petition voters, "because of their race and color," were refused the right to vote though qualified. Further, the petition sets forth that the four voters were from Precinct 6, Jefferson Ward, and that votes were thrown out in every prefect because of the "race and color" of the voters. The petition says that if these voters who were all Hirschberg men had been allowed to vote, the result would have been a victory for the defeated candidate. Judge D. R. Marlowe and Alexander Richardson, and Clerks W. E. Smith and J. K. McLean are named as defendants in the petition as well as Mayor George Ainsle. Signing the petition are B. Harrison Beverley, Albert L. Williams, H. R. Williams, Charles A. Jackson, James Taylor, H. C. Mundin; Philip Hack; J. H. Carter; George E. Booker; W. R. Allen; J M. B. Sims; W. W. Stokes; William Randolph and J. H. Peters, Jr. The petition was sworn to before Giles B. Jackson and James Taylor. The petition will probably be taken to the City Circuit Court today. Replying to a communication from John Hirschberg defeated candidate for Mayor of Richmond, complaining of the transfer of ballots from one proxicet to another in the recent primary Judge Richardson is quoted as having explained that the transaction was regular and further, that the transferred blank ballots were not used after the transfer, which was made to provide for a possible emergency where the voting was heavy, but were not used. Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch May 3, 1920. SLAYS POLITICAL PRISONERS, El Paso, Tex., May 9.—Gen.

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.

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. MRS. ZEMORIA J.
