WE SERVE - INFORMATION - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXVII, No. 34 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1920 PRICE, FIVE CENTS SHREWD POLITICS. Chicago, Ill., June 14, One Colored man sits on the new republican national committee. The newcomer is Henry Lincoln Johnson, political leader of his race in Atlanta and head of the Lowden faction, which controlled the Georgia delegation in the national convention. He replaces Capt. Henry S. Jackson, formerly of Atlanta, who now lives in New York. Formal announcement of Johnson's selection threw the Coliseum into a thrill of real excitement and caused the party to copy poll of a state delegation. When Georgia's name was reached on the alphabetical roll call of the states to report members of the new national committee, up rose the stalwart figure of Henry Lincoln Johnson who is chairman of the state delegation and announced in stentorian voice: "Georgia has elected to the republic national committee Henry Lincoln Johnson." Cries of protest came from where the Georgia delegates sat in the extreme west end of the rear row of seats. These demands for verification of Henry Lincoln Johnson's statement were taken up by other delegates in surrounding seats. Chairman Lodge ordered the delegation to be polled. The first man on the list was Johnson who is a delegate-at-large. "For whom do you vote?" Johnson was asked. He replied promptly: For Henry Lincoln Johnson's statement that he had been elected national committeeman was confirmed by the poll, which stood 12 for Johnson, 2 for Roscoe Pikelet and 2 not voting. Previous to being seated as a delegate Johnson had sent a letter informating that he was no longer an applicant for membership of the national committee. Upon this canvassage action he was seated as a delegate. After being seated as a delegate his Georgia delegates made him national committeeman—the only one in that body. Lincoln it appears played "deep" politics, and encodes himself with "the end instifies the means." --- THIS IS CLAWN WHEN M. C. O. P. REFUSED THE RACE. "Three generations ago, the people of the United States, first entrusted the Republican party with the administration of the National government under the express promise to check the extension and agressions of slavery; and in single administration, the party of Abraham Lincoln rid the nation of slavery and raised four millions of freedom to the dignity of full American citizen ship. The Republican party, in good faith, tried to insure the permanence of the freedom and equality before the law of the colored race by constitutional and statutory enactments. For four decades, the party while adhering to the faith of its founders left the colored race to work out its own salvation in the localities in which it lives. The Republican party, in convention assembled, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty, recognizes his failure of that policy owing to the principles and practices of the Democratic party to the states and nation. We therefore pledge ourselves anew to the cause of freedom and equality of citizenship for all men irrespective of race or color. If intrusted again with the administration of the national government as we believe we shall be we prom ise: 1. To insure the due and equal protection of the laws for all citizens by enacting a Federal law against tynching. 2. To make good the right of the Colored race to the ballot by enforcing the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment if need be. 3. To put an end to segregation and discrimination against citizens of the United States on account of their race or color, wherever the national government has the power to do so. We promise to make democracy safe for America before interfering with the rights of other people to self determination. --- REV. ANAMAN AT SIXTH MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev.

TENNANT A LEGALIZED CORPSE FAILS TO RE MAIN DEAD ONE Wheelerer Business Halls. When Red Cross Nurse Finds Slumbering Man in Automobile. Winchester, June 24. Business in battle, stores and law offices in the vicinity of the city Hall Plaza suddenly halted yesterday, when a Red Cross nurse telephoned for an undertaker saying she had found an man dead in an automobile. A general rush to the spot ensued, but none would venture to touch the "corpse" until the undertakers came with a basket. As the funeral director stepped upon the running board of the car and were in the act of lifting the "corpse" the latter astonished the gazing crowd by getting awake and inquiring why the excitement. The undertakers apologized and sheeplessly withdrew, the Red Cross nurse explained that "the looked and acted like a corpse anyway," and the crowd looked rather disappointment. The man said his name was Harley Reynolds a county mail carrier and that he fell asleep while reading next Sunday's Sunday School lesson. A friend for whom he was waiting had overstayed his time. --- THURSDAY NIGHT CLUB CLOSES The home of Mr. Charles Robinson 215 E. 17th street Southside, was the scene of a lively gathering on Friday night, the 25th ult.

Disagrees With Attorney Newsome—Sent an Allidavit—Declined to Go to Chicago as a Delegate. Mr. Editor. Dear Sir Without laying a claim to any knowledge of journalism whatever, I beg your indulgence to allow me to reply through your letter to an eponious report circulated by several contisting delegates from the First Institution of Virginia, relative to my attitude toward the "Lily Whites" before the National Childhood Convention at Chicago June gth. On the night of June 5th I received a telephone message from the Newport News "Record" (Democratic) a daily newspaper of my city, saying that the editor had received a telegram from Dr. D. A. Ferguson at Richmond, Virginia, (who at that time was in Chicago as a contesting delegate) said telegram stating that I had sent a letter to Chairman Will H. Hays of the National Republican Committee at Chicago endorsing the action of the "Lily Whites," I informed the press that I did send Chairman Hays a communication but denied that said communication endorsed the action of the "Lily Whites" as Dr. Ferguson stated in his telegram. While it is true that I was elected as a delegate to the National Republican Convention at Chicago, and my name so certified to the chairmen of that body, at that time there were certain developments of national interest in our city, with respect to local politics, in which I claimed very conspicuously and as a result I made myself very unpopular with two of my fellow citizens, namely: Dr. P. A. Scott, the delegate at Tulare, and Mr. J. Thomas New some, associate counsel for the Negro Contests, both of whom went to Chicago for the purpose of making a contest. It is a rather interesting and strange coincidence that the city of Newport News was putting on its literal tone to inaugurate the simi- lated form of government dispens- with its old form and delect- um of five, which election also place on June 5th. In 1920, the following the Newport News (Democratic) un- the nation "Colored Men to se- vice to vote in One White Man." Newsome says Colored Voters Have Colored Men In Justice Council. Nineemen Probate Candidates Mentored by City's Voting Masses at this Time. Despite the fact that influence has been brought to bear on the colored voters in this city to put a colored candidate in the ring for the new council. Those colored voters have absolutely declined to do so; how twer, they will select some white man in whom they have trust and belief, and will throw all their support to him in the election. ATTORNEY NEWSOMES DECLAR ATION. This statement was given out this morning by J. Thomas Newsome, prominent colored attorney here, and leader in politics among members of his race. "We will swing together in support of some white man," the lawyer said. "And we believe the weight of our vote will be felt in the election." It may be well for the Negroes of Virginia to know that this statement was made by Attorney Newsome with out any authority whatever from even a single voter of his own race in Newport News, and so indignant were the citizens, as well as the voters at Attorney Newsome's state event that they called a mass meeting on the night of April 15th and unanimously requested R. H. Pree to become a candidate for the new council of five which step was vigorously opposed by Attorney Newsome who gave vent to his feelings and his knowledge of the law through the Democratic Press to the effect that the citizens mass meeting was Ilegal and that the colored candidate could not get his name placed (Creationist).

SAYS "JIM-CROWISM HURTS BUSINESS. (Associated Newspress) Danville, Ky., July 6.—The Torch light of this city, makes editorial comment in its issue of last Tuesday on the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the power of a state to enact and enforce a "jim crow" law. It says in part, "This decision hurts business and in the end will work general hardship upon the whole people regardless of color or condition. It hurts business by perpetuating the discrimination and injustices that are slowly but surely driving the Negro population from the South. When the Negro leaves the south in large numbers the south experiences a shortage in rain power. This shortage curtails the production of sugar cane, corn cotton, lumber and rice. This curtailment of reproduction and the output of raw materials approciably lowers the volume of business done. Southern planters and merchants become land poor, the land instead of producing the staples grows up in weeds and jungles. These are the logical results of the action of Supreme Cours in upholding "jim crow" laws --- FIVE KILLED IN GAMBLING RADIO AT ATLANTA, GEORGIA (Associated Neurology) Atlanta, Ga., July — A detective and tour Ninemos were killed in a raid on a gambling resort last Thursday day night, C.

Disagrees With Attorney Newsone- Sent an Allidavit—Declined to Go to Chicago as a Delegate. Mr. Editor. Dear Sir - Without laying a claim to any knowledge of journalism whatever, I beg your indulgence to allow me to reply through your paper to an erroneous report circulated by several contesting delegates from the First District of Virginia, relative to my attitude toward the "Lily Whites" before the National Republican Convention at Chicago June 6th. On the night of June 5th I received a telephone message from the Newport News "Record" (Democratic) a daily newspaper of my city, saying that the editor had received a telegram from Dr. D. A. Ferguson of Richmond, Virginia, (who at that time was in Chicago as a contesting delegate) said telegram stating that I had sent a letter to Chairman Will H. Hays of the National Republican Committee at Chicago endorsing the action of the "Lily Whites," I informed the press that I did send Chairman Hays a communication but denied that said communication endorsed the action of the "Lily Whites" as Dr. Ferguson stated in his telegram. While it is true that I was elected as a delegate to the National Republican Convention at Chicago and my name so certified to the chairman of that body, at that time there were certain developments of unusual interest in our city, with respect to local politics, in which I figured very conspicuously and as a result I made myself very unpopular with two of my fellow citizens, namely: Dr. P. A. Scott, the delegate at large, and Mr. J. Thomas Newsome, associate counsel for the Negro Contestants, both of whom went to Chicago for the purpose of making a contest. It is a rather interesting and strange coincidence that the city of Newport News was putting on its political toga to inaugurate the simulated form of government—dispense with its old form and elect a council of five, which election also took place on June 8th. On March 22d, 1920, the following newspaper appeared in the Newport News "News Foreword" (Democratic) under the caption "Colored Men to Saving Votes to One White Man." "Newsame says Colored Voters Have Been Scaled Out Colored Men In Race for Council—Ninecentile Probate Candidates Mentioned by City's Voting Masses at this Time. Despite the fact that influence has been brought to bear on the colored voters in this city to put a colored candidate in the ring for the new council. Those colored voters have absolutely declined to do so; how ever, they will select some white man in whom they have trust and belief, and will throw all their support to him in the election. ATTORNEY NEWSOME'S DECLARATION. This statement was given out this morning by J. Thomas Newsome, prominent colored attorney here, and leader in politics among members of his race. "We will swing together in support of some white man," the lawyer said. "And we believe the weight of our vote will be felt in the election." It may be well for the Nogreos of Virginia to know that this statement was made by Attorney Newsome with out any authority whatever from even a single voter of his own race in Newport News, and so indignant were the citizens as well as the voters at Attorney Newsome's state ment that they called a mass meeting on the night of April 15th and unandmously requested R. H. Prec to become a candidate for the new council of five which step was vigorously opposed by Attorney Newsome who gave vent to his feelings and his knowledge of the law through the Democratic Press to the effect that the citizens mass meeting was illegal and that the colored candidate could not get his name placed (Continued On Fifth Place.)

FARM FOR DELINQUENTS. Asheville, N. C., July-One Hundred acres of land are to be purchased near here for farms for Negroes. Juvenile delinquents are to do the work. SAYS "JIM-CROWISM" HURTS BUSINESS. Danville, Ky., July 6—The Torch light of this city, makes editorial comment in its issue of last Tuesday on the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the power of a state to enact and enforce a "jim crow" law. It says in part, "This decision hurts business and in the end will work general hardship upon the whole people regardless of color or condition. It hurts business by perpetuating the discrimination and injustices that are slowly but surely driving the Negro population from the South. When the Negro leaves the south in large numbers the south experiences a shortage in man power. This shortage curtails the production of sugar cane, corn cotton, lumber and rice. This curtailment of reproduction and the output of raw materials appreciably lowers the volume of business done. Southern planters and merchants become land poor, the land instead of producing the staples grows up in weeds and jungles. These are the logical results of the action of Supreme Court in upholding "jim crow" laws. FIVE KILLED IN GAMBIBING RAID AT ATLANTA, GEORGIA (Associated Negro Press.)

Blackstone, Va., June 23.—Quite a shock was to the community and the county in general was caused Monday morning when the death of Mrs. Temple J. Bowman was announced. Mrs. Bowman was seen upon the streets of the town on Saturday looking as well as ever. She went back to her home and was taken ill some time during Saturday night and died Sunday night at 10 o'clock. Funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, followed by interment in the family burying ground. The remains were laid beside those of her husband and children who had preceded her to the grave. The services were conducted by Revs. A. H. Wynn, her pastor, and R. W. Ashburn. Rev. Wynn used for a text the following: "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eter in the heavens. For in this we grain, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven." 2 Cor. 5:12. He chose for a subject: "The great assurance of a Christian after death." Rev. Wymm preached a touching sermon on the life of the deceased; and assured his hearers that the liver of such a life as she lived, there could be no other place for the soul after death other than with the Master and His Kingdom. Then he proved by the words of the master that she had morited this great reward; that she had gone to that home which was prepared for her by the Master from the foundation of the world. He also admonished those of the family and his hearers that if they wanted to see her again they had to get the Master into their hearts, otherwise there was no possible way of ever seeing her. After Rev. Wynn had finished his discourse, Rev. Ashburn gave a short talk on the Life the deceased had lived, and of the splendid given out by the neighbors, these having come from Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Green who stated that they had known Mrs. Bowman for thirty years and had always found her a Christian and loving neighbor; also from Mr. and Mrs. Creed Greenhill, who had been living near the deceased for seventeen years and found in her the same Christian life in which they also stated that she had preached her own funeral by the way she lived, and that her life was surely worthy of emulation. Resolutions were read from Nottoway Lodge No. 79 K. of P. of which one of the sons of the deceased ca. Mr. J. P. Bowman is an officer and member. These were read by Mr. P. L. Greenhill. The palibearers were Messrs. Daniel Fitzgerald, Geo. Watkins; Duncan Watkins, John Watts, Sterling Greenhill; George Johnson; Dick Busch, P. L. Greenhill; J. E. Turner; Eddie Chatman; Ralph Bagloy and A. L. Lewis. Mrs. Bowman was a staunch memher of the Spring Hill Baptist church and had been serving the master forty-four years. She leaves one brother, Mr. Peter Morgan, of Ken tucky, two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Christo pher of this county and Mrs. Fletch erer Bridgethorth of Petersburg and seven children, three sons and four daughters; Mrs. John Neal, who was living with her, Ollie Peterson of near Forkland; Mrs. Thomas Craite of Kenbridge, Mrs. E. L. Pettus of this place and Messrs. J. F. and G. A. Bowman of this place and P. E. Dewman of Hampton besides several grand children. Thus has a true Christian been called to her eternal reward. The heartfelt sympathy of the entire county is extended to the bereaved family with the reminder that His will has been done. A large gathering of friends were present to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased. Among them being several white friends. Mrs. John Anderson and son, John Jr., who have been very ill for the past week are reported as improv ig.

Virginia "Pre" Official Surprised and Also Enlightened In SCange Interview Danville, Va., June 26—W. T. Shelton, State Prohibition Inspector has returned to Danville after an unusual experience with a moonshiner who, long suspected by the officers, has evaded capture "with the goods"—a prime requisite in proceeding against violators of "arry" laws. The inspector said that his eyes had beer opened to a serious condition, that neither the Government nor the rank and file of the people realize how fully the "block aders' control the situation in this immediate neighborhood. Informers have long been in the habit of giving tips to revenue agents as to the location of illicit stills which are taken up and moved about the woods from place to place to confuse the officers. A few nights ago Shelton received just such a call, and he was told that if he would be at a rural schoolhouse near Toshes, Pittsburgh County, the following midnight he would be met by a man who would lead him to a deserted still. A MIDNIGHT MEETING. The appointed hour found Shelton at the rendezvous, and when a figure stalked out of the night the officer, presuming that he was the informer's agent announced that he was ready to follow him. The stranger produced a key and invited the officer into the schoolhouse, where a lamp was lit. Shelton was amazed to see confronting him the very man who was said to own the still he was intent on capturing. The inspector says the blockader told him to be comfortable as he wanted to talk to him. The man said, that he had overheard the conversation of the informer on the telephone by tapping the wire. He explained that this is quite frequently done, and that it is a prolific source of valuable information to the moonshiner as he is able to watch the movements of raiders and lay plans accordingly. The inspector was told that the blockaders are well organized and have a subtle espionage system which renders remote the chance of capture, although the loss of a still or two is to be reckoned with. He admitted that three stills were at that moment running full blast in that vicinity, but that it would be unwise to attempt to disturb the score or more armed men watching them. VIRTUAL DEFIANCE The recklessness with which the midnight visitor gave names and places and virtually defied the forces of law and rider to do their worst made a distinct impression on Shelton, who made no attempt to arrest the man because, he said, he knew that no court would convict him on the mere evidence that he had con fessed to operating stills. The block ader was possessed of a certain unouth courtesy, expressing admiration for the officer's courage in capturing stills, and telling him that the moonshiners preferred flight to disputing possession of a still, be cause of the danger of mortal injuryurrest and consequent embarrassment. The loss of a copper still is a small item when profits are those now being reaped are available. Shelton returned to Danville and called his group of raiders together with a view of meeting the challenge and then set out for the northern end of Pittsburgh County to comb the woods and see if he cannot land some of the stilis indicated to him by his schoolhouse interviewer.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES four Year ..... $ 2.00 six Months ..... 1.10 three Months ..... .60 foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY.....JULY 3, 1920 WHERE DOES THE NOMINEE STAND? The Cleveland Advocate, Ormond A. Forte EditorinChief and Hon. Kalph W. Tyler, Managing Editor has formally parted company with the Republican Party, if its issue of the 19th ult., is to be taken as a criterion. It declares that it cannot support Senator Warren G. Harding for the presidency. Under the caption, "Where Does the Nominee Nada?" it says: Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio is the nominee of the Republican party for the exalted office of president. The nomination of Senator Harding was brought about in just the same manner as Harry M. Laquerty prophesed, "for a group of armed men sat around a table in the wee hours of the morning" and decided that harding should break the dead lock between Wood and Lowen. At any rate the "Old Guard" still gives and dominates the Republican party with the aid of its trusted "steam roller." And now the logical question to be asked is "Where does the nominee stand with respect to Negro rights?" While we are magnanimous enough to congratulate Senator Harding—a son of Ohio—on his preterment, our mental reservations will not permit us at this time to urge our readers to swear blind allegiance to his cause, and we shall not in the future support the senator, unless assurance is given that the principles of right and justice, law and order and the cutting down of Southern representation in Congress, unless the Negro in the South is permitted the right of franchise, become part and parcel of Senator Harding's per sonal pledge to the people whom The Advocate serves. In the primary campaign we charged Senator Harding with ovading the issues so near and dear to the race and asserted that he said: "The Republican party in the South after all must be a white man's party, for the Negro is only in politics for commercialism." We reiterate our charges in their entirety, and shall not withdraw them until proof has been given us that Senator Harding is our friend, and that it is his determination, if elected, to give all elements of the population a "square deal." In taking this stand for right and justice for the Negro, The Advocate realizes the difficulty of the task which we have undertaken, for there are many of our co-workers in the field of Negro journalism who have already "flopped" to the candidate whom they fought just yesterday. But despite the handicaps which we face, we shall not swerve in our duty to the twelve million souls who look to their press for counsel and guidance. As we understand it, Hon. Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo, O., in company with other colored leaders hold a conference with the distinguished Ohioan and assurances were given which set in rest those reports and placed Senator Harding upon the platform of according to all American citizens equal and exact justice regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. We take it too that when a colored citizen enters a convention and submits his claims phereto, he is bound by the action of that convention. We cannot understand how Senator Harding could have taken such an extreme view concerning the rights and privileges of colored citizens. We cannot understand either how he could be supported by such an uncompromising champion of the rights of the colored people as Hon. H. C. Smith is known to be if he holds such views. Still, the Cleveland Advocate leaves several openings through which it can come out again into the Republican arena. It states that if it receives assurances that Senator Harding is "four-square" on the race question, it may then support the ticket. At last, this is the conclusion that we drew from the language used in its very drastic com- mont upon the work of the National Republican Convention. But what about Gov. Coolidge of Massachusetts? Has there ever been nominated a broader minded statesman than he seems to be? He is permeated by great principles and he is outspoken in advocating them. The Advocate concludes as follows: The sooner the Negro learns to sell his vote to the highest bidder—not for gold—but for a pledge of justice and its attributes, the sooner he shall grow to his full stature as an American citizen, with rights unarriged and protected. Senator Harding must give us assurance of his stand for our rights if he desires our support. But come what may, no longer shall we champion the cause of men whose espousal of our cause is neither "Cold nor likewarm." What does the nominee say? This position is all right but a per son occupying it cannot enter a Party Convention and hold those views. He must maintain an independent colored organization and request a bid for support after the candidate is nominated. Certainly, it is dishonorable to enter the "game" and then not be bound by the rules there. If, when one holds a losing hand, it colored citizens desire to be independent, let them stay out of the Republican Party and be independent, but when they enter the party combination and submit their claims to the representatives of a Party electorate, let them live up to the rules and abide by the decision of that body, even though the decision be a losing one for them. The Democratic National Convention, in session at San Francisco, California is for the most part composed of office-holders reflecting the wishes and desires of an office-holder. Its attitude is therefore discounted and its views minimized in advance. The only opportunity that the people will have to express their views will be accorded to them at the polls in November. The "brother in black" may not know his strength now, but he can exercise his power later. Hon, Henry Lincoln Johnson is the most observed of all observers. His enemies did not land him this time, but they will be "pulling after him" four years to come. Senator Warren G. Harding may not be all right, but his addresses indicated that he is not all wrong. Some colored folks talk too much and some others eat too much and there is still another class, who both talk and eat too much. People, who dodge paying their bills today will run themselves to death trying to get credit tomorrow. Jung 29, 1920. To The Editor, Attorney W. F. Denny in charge of the legal defense of Wm.

Kornilin professor in the Virginia Military Academy has contributed a very illuminating article to the June issue of Reddy's Mirror one of the more important monthly magazines published in the Middle West, entitled "The Negro Fourth Estate." Among other things Prof. Kerlin has this to say concerning the Negro Press; "Activity of the colored press of the country in these troubles times, the spirit, the boldness, and the influence of it, may well exite alarm, as it has done, even in the seats of the mighty. There are nearly four hundred Negro newspapers published in this country, and they are prosperous as never before. Their circulation during the war period vastly increased and new papers—All the more outspoken and abler type—have subsequently sprung into existence. The colored people are fully informed of this, their papers make it a matter of rejoicing and pride. It is, indeed, a sign of the times. We are informed by this press that a New Era has come, brought to birth by the World War; that with the New Era has appeared the New Negro; a man who stands erect and looks the whitth man in treecree; a man who does not cringe or fawn, "licking the hand that smiles," but demands his rights under the Constitution—equal opportunities in the common affairs of life, equal conditions, equal comforts, equal recognition for character and worth; in a word, 'Justice.' Every paper has correspondents in all of its territory and in States beyond that might be supposed to its territory. There are also news agencies. The most important of those is by far the Associated Negro Press. Through special correspondence in every city of the country it gathers the racial news and sends this out regularly to its large memborship. About seventy-five papers receive these communications directly, but all get it sooner or later. Nothin' racial escapes the Argus-eyed colored press."

London, England, July—The Morning Post, speaking of a recital recently given here by Mr. Roland Hayes, a noted Negro tenor declares; "An interested audience listened at Aeolian Hall to Mr. Roland Hayes a colored singer, and quickly found him deserving of respectful attention. He has a tenor voice capable of sweet or ringing quality through cut, a useful range, and he has been at pains to acquire all the elements of highly-cultured "vocalism." He do livered Puccini's "Che gelida minain—in Italian—and Beethoven's "Adelade" with extreme refinement, set an example which many English singers would do well to copy by combining clear diction with unbroken en phrasing. He needs, however, to guard against over cultivating of style at the expense of naturalness and open tone-production. His programme included songs in French and Negro "spirituals." Accompaniments were played by Mr. Lawrence D. Brown. --- (Associated Negro Press) Montgomery, Ala., July-J. H. Phillips, president of the Alabama State Negro Business League announced that Dr. R. R.

Except for the echos of Uisappolnt tuont over the treatment whieh the race received, qhe 1920 Republican nationgl convention is now a matter of history, and all eyes are now, turned towards the November elec: ton.

Less than a half @ozen Colored delegates from northera states, in which more thaa a million colored votes are cast and counted, were fn the convention, and these, with the qther colored men from the North present were as voiceless, because of the “Old Guard’s’” ignoring of the race as the munnnies of Egypt. Walter Cohen, Louisana's indefatl geble politieal worker, with his man “wrilay” EB, Baranco, who has never missed a national convention, was there to represent the “Sugar Cane” state along with a few of his nore recent followers, but Colonel James Lewis and James Madison Vineo were missed, they having, crossed over the river Into eternity: Worida’s delegation minus Joo Lee, the old nester, who, too, has passed inte the beyond since the last convention was there, only to he uooted out of their seats by Hly- white sentiment.

Among Tennessee's big Colored men fn attendance were: J. C. Napler, ‘Thomas Hayes, R. M. Roddy, Joo Set tee Ber bese. Nashville Giebe: and Editor Porter of Knoxville.

Dr. Ferguson and Attorney Pol- lard of Richmond, with pater fami liaxs Ferguson of Charlottesville, and a few others, gave old Virginia a representation. But they, too un- ceremoniously were kicked out of the convention by tho lily-whites, returned to the Old Dominion sans enthuiasm.

Colored Dies Soon After Missile Penetrates One of His Lungs.

Funn had an argument with Charles Motley which culminated in his revolver being brought into play. He waved it through the air and fired over his shoulder, it was said evidently trying to frighten those standing near. He shot twice. One of the stray shots hit the Brown boy in the back, penetrating one of his lungs. He jumped from the ground and ran about half a square toward his home, when he fell. He was picked up and carried into the house where he died a few minutes later. Funn, according to bystanders walked calmly away from the scene of the shooting. He was captured about 2 o'clock this morning by officers Porter and Skinault and is being held without bail at the Second District Police station. Neighbors are greatly troused over the shooting, as the Brown boy had the reputation of being a quiet school boy who bothered nobody. --- FIVE MEN ARE ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH RIOT.

A REVELATION 1 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.

RICHMOND'S DIVIDENDS ON JUSTICE, While America is dripping blood from another wavo of race lawless- ness, it is proper again. to remind Richmond that she has an unique record and that. tho reasons for her immunity from race troubles shape for her a definite line of civic du- ty. Something besides Richmond’s do termination and ability to put down Misorder has been responsible for the foat that amid lynchings and riots, she has had pence. Citizens have ae cepted as a matter of course the sim ple declaration that the police and reverves had orders to play no fav- orites and to disperse all who might bo bent on disturbance, no matter who or whero they were. Richmond has known that if a mob started for Jackson ward, that mob woutd be reuted an its members put uniler ar rest just as the samo course would he pursued with a mob fssuing from Jackson ward. Be it said to the ered ,it of our colored citizens, they have taken this declaiation at its faco valuo. ‘But who for a moment has thought (hat the time might come when tho agreed signal would be given and hundreds of mon trained In modern warfare would gather at their stations and tike their weapons?

CHURCH Last Sunday was Children's Day at Beulah A. M. E. Church. The Sunday School lesson was beautifully taught and explained by causes of Supt. R. H. A. Brown, Asst. Supt. Nathaniel Griggs and the Pastor, Rev. J. R. Augustus. At 11:30 A. M. the pastor preached to a large gathering of children who occupied the front pews. The very instructive and interesting discourse was taken from the 11th chapter of Isaiah the 6th verse latter clause: "And a little child shall lead them." The sermon was filled with beautiful pictures and child stories suitable for the child's mind, proving by these mental pictures and stories how often it is the little child who leads. How often it is the little child who is found in the right place, at the right time, who says the right thing, and can be used to lead grown ups to the light of salvation. Not only were the children delighted, but the grown folks as well. Promptly at 8:30 P. M. found our church crowded to hear the Exercises to be rendered by our children. The little folks did themselves great credit in song, recitation and dialogue. We desire to give special thanks to Mrs. Pearl Madden, Mrs. Alberta Reid, and Mrs. M. J. Augustus for training the children so splendidly; and to Mrs. Madden, Vaughan, Augustus and Miss Fannie Branch for decorating the church so handsomely. A splendid offering was lifted after the exercises. Notice! We received one of our return en- velopes, post marked, Richmond with two one dollar bills in the same, but with no name or address.
