THE CHMOND PANE FUTILE FIGHT FOR COLORED CONGRESSMAN. Attempt to Secure Congressional Nominee Fails of Success. Alleged that Defeat is Due to Com- promise Action of President Col- ored Leaders in Nominating Con- vention. Negro Republican voters of the 21st congressional district of New York, comprising the 13th, 19th, 21, 22nd, and 23rd Aldermann districts of Manhattan, will not have a chance to vote for a colored candidate for congressman this year on the regular Republican ticket, for the regular Republican ticket, of the delegates attending the nominating convention held on Monday night, August 9, at the Republican Club of the 21st A. D., corner Amsterdam avenue of 145th street, decided to name Martin Ansorge of the 13th A. D., as the party nominee for congress. And Mr. Ansorge is not a colored man. Race hopes were on hold at Attorney William H. Smith of 295 West 155th street. Mr. Smith was given the undivided support of the delegate ex from the 19th A. D. under the lead cship of John I. Lyons, and he also had the support of a goodly number of the delegates from the 21st A. D. which is the home district of Asombiy Kuman John H. Hawkins. EIGHT BALLOTS TAKEN Charles W. Anderson named Mr. Smith for the honor and the seconding was led by Mr. Solomon followed by many others. The first ballot showed the votes divided between three candidates: Dr. Layton Johnson, Robt. Clinton's candidate, with 255; Moret Ansorge, 224; and Wilford H. Smith 118. This remained about the way the vote were cast through seven ballots. On the seventh ballot the difference from the 21st which had been dividing its vote between John on and Smith switched locally to Ansorge. This difference of three was brought about by a switch by one hand of a compulsive agreement between Coulblin and Edward heather. John H. Reed and Milton G. Wheatts. These moves it is decided throw their influence to the white candidate and Our made to Coulblin. Coulblin to respond to the call call on the eight ballot with the second more that the 21st A. D. cast a solid vote for Ansorge. This makes the selection of Mr. Ansorge a practical overview and that was achieved further by the swatter over of the 21st A. D. vote which had been cast solidly for Dr. Johnson. The selection was finally made unanimous by the entire deliberation with out a dissenting vote. COLORER WOMEN STOOD FIRM It was a noteworthy fact that colored women present for the first time as delegates, stood firmly for the candidacy of the colored man, and they refused to be stampeded even by the representation of the colored men who entered into the agreement which killed the chance for a Negro congressional nominee. Another circumstance worthy of note and to remember by the true hearted race voter is the support given Mr. Smith's candidacy by John J. Lyons, Republican leader in the 19th A. D., A. Murtha and Dave Costuma. These white men had promised to support a Negro candidate for congress and they kept their promise to the end. CHARLES W. ANDERSON'S EFFORTS In this attitude these men allied themselves with Charles W. Anderson and were in frequent consultation with the colored leader in a tempting to bring about the nomination of the colored candidate. It was interesting to note that while the Jewish delegates from all the districts gave their support consistently to Ansorge the Negro delegates from the 13th A. D. neglected entirely the claims of Mr. Smith. The 13th vote was cast solidly from beginning to end for Mr. Ansorge. Charles W. Anderson fought consistently and earnestly against the efforts of the other colored leaders to bring about a coalition with the forces favoring the nomination of a white candidate as against a colored man, but it was impossible to overcome the combinations finally effected when the Conklin forces swung not only their white delegates but the colored men also to the support of the 13th district man. The regular Republicans of the 21st congressional district will give their united support to the candidacy of Martin Ansorge, but a regret remains that the colored can oblate was defeated. Andrew R. Humphrey announced he handed that he intended being a can-tate regardless of the convention's action, and he would not allow his name to go into the September primary as an independent candidate. Louis A. Leavelle took a similar hand, retiring to allow his name to be presented before the convention. In his letter of declination, however, Mr. Leavelle emphasized his intention to support the party's nominee in the regular election in case he. Leaville should be defeated for nomination in the primary. THE NEGRO REFORMATORY ASSOCIATION. The members of the Neighborhood Association of Richmond Va. brought in men, pleasant and可爱able, uprife to the boys and the officals of the Virginia Manual Labor School for Colored boys. Hanover, Va. The members of the Neighborhood Association are especially interested in uplift work and making others happy, and it is the beary sentiment of the inmates of the Virginia Manual Labor School, that happiness perished was theirs when on Tuesday, August 3rd, about 21 of the members of the atheist said Association put in their appearance at the Virginia Manual Labor School in the early part of the morning to make it a day of joy for the boys.

Words are inadequate to state but how much the boys enjoyed them and since the joy which they so often was greater than is possible to express, I might say that their joy is made like exclamation, "better than them said." Both the boys and the officers of Broad Neck Farm wish to extend a word of gratitude and thanks to the neighborhood Association for making it possible for them to have such a day of joy. --- IN HONOR OF MR.

SADIE HENDERSON WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library --- FUTURE FIGHT FOR COLOREI CONGRESSMAN. Attempt to Secure Congressional Nominee Fails of Success. Alleged that Defeat is Due to Compromise Action of Prominent Colored Leaders in, Nominating Convention. Negro Republican voters of the 21st congressional district of New York, comprising the 13th, 19th, 21, 22nd, and 23rd Aldermanic districts of Manhattan, will not have a chance to vote for a colored candidate for congressman this year on the regular Republican ticket, for the regular Republican ticket, of the delegates attending the nominating convention held on Monday night, August 9, at the Republican Club of the 22nd A.

On the eighth ballot, the delegates from the 21st which had been dividing its vote between Johnson and Smith, switched bodily to Ansorge. This change of face was brought about; it is alleged, by some kind of a compromise agreement between Coulkin and colored leaders, John M Royl and Aldeman George W. Harris. These men, it is declared threw their influence to the white candidate and thus made it possible for Coulkin to respond to the roll call on the eight ballot with the announcement that the 21st A. D. cast a solid vote for Ansorge. This mdee the selection of Me. Ansorge a practical certainty and this was clinched further by the swiping over of the 22nd A.

Morgan Moore, torpedo expert of Alexandria, Va., will not hang on September 10, the date set by the United States District Court for his execution. Final bills of exception which have been arranged by his attorneys quietly and without any publicity were filed and signed in the office of the United States Marshall yesterday afternoon and writ of error allowed by Judge Edmund Wadditt. The case will go before the United States Circuit. Court of Appeals, which is not scheduled to meet in Richmond before November, Writ of error was asked on the ground that evidence which developed after the death of Mr. Moore was allowed by Judge Waddill and should have been erritten out and the jury not allowed to consider the incidents mentioned. Besides being arraigned for murder, Turner is charged with robbery and an attack upon Miss Miss Pearl Clarke, of Washington. The assault charges have not been tried only the charges of murder and robbery being allowed, Judge Waddill ruled, when the trial was in progress here, that the Negro approached Miss Clarke after she had left the auto-mobile and her finance was dead, demanding more money and jewelry from her. This, he ruled, made the offense of robbery and murder still in progress. It is upon this ruling which the attorneys for Turner are trying to get a new trial, contending that the court had no right to allow such evidence. Turner still is confined in Honrico County Jail.

Forty Thousand Investors Intrusted Over $15,000,000 to Him. HELD ON BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE WARRANTS. Bond Is Furnished and Alleged Witz ard is Freed—Admits He Can't Pay Debts. Boston, Aug. 12.—Some 40,000 investors intrusted a total of variously estimated at from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 to Charles Ponzi in a money-making scheme which postal officials today declared to be absolutely impossible of fulfilment. Ponzi surrendered to the Federal authorities today explaining that he was unable to meet his obligations because of the closing yesterday of the Hanover Trust Company where the bulk of his funds was deposited He was arrested charged with having used the mails to defraud, arrang ed and held in bonds of $25,000 for a hearing August 19. Morris Radnick, a real estate dealer, furnished the securities. Meantime a warrant charging the Italian with larceny had been obtained by the State police, and upon leaving, the Federal building, Ponzi was recarrested and held by the City Court in $10,000 bail for appearance August 23. Rudnick again went on Ponzi's bonds. WARRANT CHARGES LARCENY. Developments followed thick and fast today. As Ponzi was being arrested before United States Commissioner Hays, Edwin L. Pride who is examining the books of the Securities Exchange Company for the Federal authorities announced it had already been shown that Ponzi owed $7,000,000. State Attorney-General Alen, who is conducting a separate investigation made known his opinion that Ponzi's liabilities would run in to the millions. MANY ANXIOUS INQUIRIES. State bank Examiner Joseph C. Allen issued a statement declaring the capital of the Hanover Trust Company of which Ponzi until yesterday was a director was seriously impaired and probably wiped out. State Treasurer Burrell attacked the bank commissioner for not having given him opportunity to withdraw State funds before the Hanover was closed, and Governor Coolidge demanded that Burrell make known how much of the State's money had been tied up by the closing of the trust company Later Burrell notified the Governor that the State deposit was $125,006. Ponzi's field appears to have included New England and New Jersey. The line that formed daily in P. Aley at the rear of Ponzi's School Street office, appears to have been far from representative of his client's. This was made up largely of foreigners, who were more interested in getting their money than in protecting their reputations as wise speculators. Anxious inquiries at the newspaper offices and feverish conversations in downtown restaurants indicated that the proprietors of small business professional men and women, clerks and stenographers by the thousand, accepted the bait of "50 per cent profit in forty-five days." Agents working in offices and factories interested large numbers, particularly among the Italians. The mystery of Ponzi's methods added to the attractiveness of his promises. It is said in many cases the possibilities of profitably exchanging American dollars for French francs for Italian lire, and the latter for something else seemed plausible enough without a clear comprehension of just how the thing worked out. INSPECTOR KNEW SCHEME Among the amazing disclosures was that the bulk of Ponzi's millions were gathered in after the Post-Office Department had begun its investigation last Feb. In discussing the Ponzi case tonight, Chief Post-Office Inspector Hal B. Mosby said so far as their investigation had gone, Ponzi had never done any business in international reply coupons. He said he had warned hundreds of people against Ponzi when inquiries began to come in last February that no man or set of men could manipulate or speculate in international reply coupons in any such manner as they alleged Ponzi had explained to them. In a formal statement issued later, Mr. Mosby said: "It has been my great desire for sometime past that Ponzi should be brought to account and his scheme laid bare and never for a moment have I believed that he was solvent, but that in the end he would be shown shortly have sufficient evidence million. Within the past few days, having felt sure that we had or would shortly have sufficient evidence at hand upon which to arrest Ponzi and to make sure that he could be found when wanted, I have taken Take Aspirin With Water --- If your Aspirin tablets have the name "Bayer" stamped on them, they are genuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin," proved safe by millions of people. The name "Bayer" identifies the true world-famous Aspirin prescribed by physicians for over eighteen years. Always drink one or two glasses of water after taking the tablets. Each unbroken "Bayer package" contain proper directions for Colds, Headache, Toothache, Earache, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Rheumatism, Neuritis, and for Pain. Always say "Bayer" when buying Aspirin. Then look for the safety "Bayer Cross" on the package and on the tablets. Mandy tin boxes of twelve tablets cost but a few cents. Drugists also sell larger packages. Aspirin is trade mark of Bayer Manufacture Monoaceticacideter of Salicylicacid the precaution to keep him under surviance as far as possible, although he gave no indication that he would attempt to leave this jurisdiction. However, having his previous record in view, I felt it a duty to make every possible effort to prevent his escape." Earlier in reply to specific inquiries, Inspector Moseby said: SUSPICIONS AROUSED IN FEB. "Our attention was first called to Ponzi's operations last February when inquiries began coming into the office from investors and prospective investors and an investigation was immediately taken. Since that time we have been working in Europe and elsewhere. "As a result of this investigation we have obtained conclusive evidence that there has been no abnormal isue or redemption of international reply coupons, while on the other hand in some countries the use of coupons has been greatly curtailed to prevent this very scheme which no doubt has reached the ears of postal officials in many foreign countries. There is no means by which a man can manipulate international reply coupons. Ponzi's claim that he has made millions in this way is simply a stupendous fraud with nothing up on which it can be based. The entire issue and redemption of international reply coupons through out the postal union for the past six years wont not aggregate $500, 000. Ponzi could not have handled the millions of them that would have been necessary to make the fortune he claimed to have amassed in the past few months without the knowledge of the officials of the governments and of the postal union. ITALY BLOCKS REDEMPTION Some countries fear speculation or manipulation of the coupons, discontinued their issuance or redemption months ago, some of them particularly Italy, prior to the time when Ponzi claims to have started his business. It would be foolish for Italy to redeem coupons at the great difference in the rate of exchange for she would stand to lose the difference when the time came to settle accounts. Soon after investigation was started Ponzi was advised by letter that coupons would not be redeemed in this country except for legitimate postage purposes, and postmasters throughout the country were instructed not to redeem them. The best evidence that he did not deal in coupons in foreign countries is the fact that he has never produce foreign customers or foreign coupons. The most amazing thing, and the thing which I am not able to understand is why people invested their money with Ponzi. I can only attribute it to his personality—they invested in the man, not the business. We warned hundreds of people against him. Many of them heeded the warning, but undoubtedly there were many who gave him their money notwithstanding. COULD NOT WARN PUBLIC We found it difficult to talk with some people they were so impressed, and believed so strongly that he was doing what he said he was doing. One of Ponzi's attractive features was the easy manner in which he talked in millions instead of in hundreds or thousands. He simply chaned dazzled the people. He appealed to the gambling spir it of the people by the quick action on the investments. When he started days, but he paid it in forty-five out he promised 50 per cent in nine days, with the result that many re-reinvested their principal and their winnings. "Ponzi did not use the malls as openly as is often the case in scheme which came to the attention of this department. He started business in a small way, depending upon reinvestments from his customers and upon the word that would be passed from one person to another. DID NOT DARE TO ADVERTISE He did not dare to advertise in the newspapers and we did not want to make it known that we were investi gating his business, for the publicity was just what he needed to attract attention. When the story of his ap erations first got into the newspapers he welcomed it for it gave him a chance to issue statements and get before the public. It was during the past few weeks, while his business was being exploited by the newspapers that he collected the greater part of the millions that trusting persons turned over to him." Ponzi, the inspector said, once was in an exporting business in a small way and it probably was while thus engaged that he learned of the use of international reply coupons, possibly having received them from abroad for prepaying return postage. contains proper directions for Colds, Headache, Toothache, Earache, Neurology, Lumbago, Rheumatism, Neuritis, and for Pain. Always say "Bayer" when buying Aspirin. Then look for the safety "Bayer Cross" on the package and on the tablets. Wandy tin boxes of twelve tablets cost but a few cents. Druggists also sell larger packages. The department's investigation, Mr. Moseby added had extended to all sections of the country and through out Europe and, although he was un willing to discuss evidence that had been collected he did not hesitate to say that dealing in international reply coupons was not responsible for Penzi's millions. Donzi went to his home at Lexington tonight and announced he would make no statement. The house was under close surveillance. G, O, P PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK IN CALIFORNIA. Registration Leads Democrats by Three to One. Chicago, Aug. 9.—California—the State that proved the decisive factor in the 1916 election—is again the scene of a close struggle for control between the Republicans and the Democrats, according to Harold L. Ickes of Chicago, Progressive leader who has returned from a four weeks' visit in that State. "Cox is very strong in Northern California at present," said Mr. Ickes today. Harding apparently has the edge in the south, but there are great numbers of voters who have not decided which ticket to support." Republican headquarters here halled with delight the news of the California registration for voters at the August primaries. "In fourteen counties," the official announcement says, "the Republicans led the Democrats in registration by more than three to one. The total Republican registration was 421,582 while the Democrats could muster only 141,175. In these fourteen counties less than 10 per cent. of the voters declined to state their party affiliation. In view of these facts, the Republican leaders of California are confident of the result in November. UNARMED POLICE IN FIGHT WITH COLORED MEN. Assailants Held After Battle in West 53rd Street. Two Negro longshoremen were held yesterday in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury and two companions, alleged to have interfered with their arrest were fined $5 each by Magis trrote Harris in the West Side Court, after Patrolman McEwoy and Cleary of the West Forty-seventh street station described a fight they had had at 3 o'clock in the morning, while passing through the "block of all nations" in Fiftythird street between Ninth and Tenth avenues. In civilian clothes and unarmed, they said they had been forced to contend against superior numbers and flash rag razors. A crash of glass at 418 West Fifty third street attracted their attention they said, and they saw David Howard 24 years old Negro, of 428 West Fifty-third street rush out of the building. They chased after an captured him, they said. William Richardson, 42 years old, Negro also of 428 rush ed after them and slashed Patrolman Cleary's coat over the abdomen with a razor. Both men broke loose and were captured again, whereupon a crowd of sympathizers, headed the police alleged by Herman Osgood, Negro of 346 and Robert Bosch of 446 West Fifty-third street attempted to take their prisoners away. The police took them in custody after a lively battle. PONZFS LABILITIES ALMOST TRIPLE ASSETS. Scheme Described by Post-Office Official as Being Most Stupendous In Department's History. Washington, August 12.—"Ponzi's liabilities are probably a little less than $2,000,000. His assets are only about $3,000,000. This means that the people who invested their money through Ponzi will lose about $5,000,000. It is the most gigantic scheme ever put over on the American public through the agency of the Post Office Department." This comment was made tonight by a high official of the Post Office Department following announcement of Ponzi's arrest. While the report of post office inspectors has not been formally made to Washington, the high lights of their discoveries have been contained in telegraphic intor mation. "It is a sad commentary on human nature that most of the investors were people of small means" said an official who had part in the investigation. "If each investor loses $1,000 there will be 5,000 losers. But we believe that many contributed smaller amounts so the number may reach even 10,000. The Post-Office De partiment has handled a number of spectacular get-rich-schemes, but this is the largest we have ever encounter ed." OTHER PE YOU NOW FURRI When you can Rugs from an C like JURGENS- We do not believe there is an iota of truth in Ponzi's statement that he made vast profits in manipulating international reply coupons. We have investigated this matter thoroughly and found that where the currency of a foreign country is depreciated, the country always protects it self against loss by charging more for postal coupons. It could not do otherwise unless it was asleep. "It is our belief that for the most part Ponzi simply took in money and then paid it out again with the intention of getting a great number of investors and then making a get away. So far as we have been able to learn he dealt to only a slight extent in ordinary stocks and securities. The Hanover Trust Company meth eds were utterly illegal and unsound. Just what its condition is and what depository stands to lose we cannot say as yet." Subscribe to The Richmond Planet.

Thousands of colored people live for today and care little for tomorrow. There are many women, who have children, who have never yet learned to be mothers to them. Raise your children in the street and let them associate with bad company and you will sup sorrow. Some white folks mean all right to the colored folks, but they have such a peculiar way of showing it. Some people have been trying to go to Heaven in an aeroplane, but they have found it to be the short route to the other place. Saving money is a habit and spending all that you make is another habit. The former is acquired and the latter is an accomplishment that comes to one at birth. Some people believe in being miserable all of the time and in making other people unhappy by their presence. Some other people believe in being happy all of the time and in making those around them joyful by their presence. Hon. H. C. Smith, editor and owner of Cleveland, Ohio Gazette is now a candidate for the office of Secretary of State on the Republican ticket and he has entered into the contest with all of the energy and ability for which he is noted. We are of the opinion that should he succeed in polling the bulk of the colored vote, his object will have been attained, whether he is nominated or not. Should his vote embrace practically all of the colored voters, he will have made one of the most remarkable contests ever made by a citizen of color in Ohio. Colored people would do well to line up solidly behind Harry Smith. He has been tried time and again on the race question and he has never been found wanting. White people will find also that they can safely en trust their interests in his hands. We hope that he may win out in the Republican primary and be successful at the polls. A PECULIAR SITUATION. We have been particularly impressed with the fact that a Baptist minister, hailing from Dallas, Texas, and so far as we know and have heard was of good repute and in his own humble way was doing the work for the Master. While about to deliver his message at the True Reformers' Hall, God's hand touched him and he fell asleep. His boon companions fled and left his remains in the hands of Funeral Director, C. P. Hayes, who has kept them, during these hot sultry days for two weeks and four days. In Hood's "Bridge of Sighs," it is said: "O. it was pitiful With a whole city-full Friends, she had none." Rev. Griffin was unpretentious and he impressed us as a man, who was doing a legitimate work for the Master. It reminded us too of the simple statement of the good and lowly Jesus when he is quoted in Luke IX: 58: "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath no where to lay his head." Here was the messenger of God, affiliated with the great Baptist cairch and falling asleep in a great Baptist city, with no one energetic enough to go around and solicit funds to enable him to secure a decent burial. Had it not have been for the faith of an humble undertaker, struggling for a living he would have been buried more than two weeks' ago in Potter's field or according to the laws of this State, his remains would ore this have been in a pickling vat in one of our medical colleges. Four days and two weeks or two weeks and four days, the body of this preacher has been resting in the undertaking rooms, kept from giving offense by the skill of the embalmer. It was only after an appeal had been made to the Ministerial Conference, of which the able Rev. Dr. Evans Payne as President that the expense was assumed by that influential body and his remains interred in an humble grave in Woodland Cemetery. It must have been that the working Baptist women in our many churches were not informed of the circumstances. They would not have permitted such a thing to happen here. Let us hope that the Baptist people will re-ieve the Baptist Ministerial Conference of the assumed burden and that the necessary amount will be raised, not only to defray the expenses of the funeral, but to erect a head-stone over the remains of a man, who fell at his post of duty and died in the service of the Master. THE WORLD WAR AND ITS SEQUEL "Watchman, what of the night? This query has been applied to numberless cases, but it never has been more applicable than to the present condition of affairs in Europe, where another great war has succeeded the world war and where the Bolshevik threatens to engulf all of Europe in a great struggle. The Great Powers are helpless. They have expended their strength in endenvoring to subjugate Germany, which is not yet subjugated and has in office a temporary Government, utilized for present day purposes, while that great nation is feverishly working to spring another surprise upon civilization that will "stagger humanity" and engulf the world in war. France and Great Britain have disagreed. The cause of the disagreement lies in the fact that Russia, under the regime of Czar Nicholas borrowed millions of dollars in French money better known as francs. The Russian revolutionary leaders did not care to burden the people with owerous taxes to pay this amount and they adopted the plan so well known in Virginia as the Readjuster rule. As they did not make the loan and as they overturned the Government that did make it, they have been slow about assuming the obligations of the former government. In fact, it was practically admitted that the Lenine government would not pay these obligations, France, that had been the battlefield of the world war and more seriously crippled than Russia, with a national debt that is staggering and unable even to pay their interests therzon has been struggling and preventing a peaceful settlement by insistent demands upon Germany. It was stipulated in the peace negotiations that Germany would not be required to pay any indemnity to the Allies. By this, is meant that she would not be required to pay any of the Allies any of the cost of their armies in the field. It has been the effort of France under Premier Clemenceau and now under Premier Millerand to get this indemnity as a matter of fact without getting it as a matter of agreement. To this end, they have been demanding reparations. By reparations is meant the repairing of damage done. She has calculated the damage done in various parts of France and they have required the German Government to pay for damages done in the cities, in the valleys and the mountain sides of France. They have required her to defray the expense of rebuilding private property and this huge sum of money is known as reparation money and not as the paying of an indemnity. Germany refused to pay more than a certain amount alleging that she could not pay and when the amount was reduced, she still insisted that it exceeded her ability to pay. Then a demand was made for shipment of German coal into France and a certain value was placed upon this THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA coal in order to reduce the amount of money demanded in the matter of reparation for damage done. The German plenipotentiaries refused to sign and when they did sign upon a threat by the French that they would send black troops into German territory adjacent to the Rhine Valley, they signed with the sardonic expression upon their faces that signing was one King and the delivery of all of the money was quite another. France, frantic France had turned to Russia. They met the ice stare of Lenina and Trotzky and insisted that some steps be taken to bring the Russian Government to terms. It is believed that she secretly encouraged the launching of the war of conquest in Russia. The governments set up were willing to assume their proportion of the Russian National debt, also they would not be accorded the recognition, by France and her Allies so essential to their existence. But the Polish Government failed and the armies of Russia recruited by the former service men in the employ of the Czar, with the recruits from Germany, who had served under General Von Hindenberg and Gen. Ludendorf and who were not in good standing with the socialistic government of Germany that now holds sway proceeded to launch a campaign, which had for its purpose under President Wilson's plan of self-determination the destruction of the present British government and the setting up of a soviet or Bolshevist government in its stead. This government would not recognize the obligations of the Allies any more than the present Russian Government would recognize it. But Premier David Lloyd George had entered into some kind of a trade relationship with the Bolshevists under Lenine. He refused to be a party to coercive action against the present popular government in Russia. Premier Millerand was frantic and angry and he "read the riot act," so to speak to his alleged schenan associate, who was looking after British trade more than he was interested in the war, debts of France. He would not agree to coerce Russia. A mockade of the northern ports of that great country was tentatively agreed upon, but this would have but little effect during the winter months as many weeks have passed, it will be an ice-locked sea anyway. France wanted to launch another war with Poland as its base. But to reach Poland, French troops must cross Germany's territory and this the German government would not permit. The next step was to send supplies to Poland, but even supplies were stopped on German soil and they got no further. Much of the ammunition and equipment for the war punishment and equipment for the Polish armies fell into the hands of the Russians and they used them in defeating the Poles. In the midst of this embarrassing situation of affairs General Baron Wrangel was induced to lead a revolt in Southern Russia bordering on the Black sea. As an affront to the present Russian government, France, without consulting her allies proceeded to accord recognition to Gen. Wrangel and a French war-ship was directed to report to him for service. It is stated that Gen. Wrangel had previously agreed to recognize the Russian war debt so far as it related to France and her allies. But he was making a promise that was worthless unless he could overthrow the great Russian government with its marching armies, large enough to engulf half of Europe in another gigantic struggle. Lenine had threatened to launch his Bolshevist propaganda in Europe and it has actually taken a foothold in England. So true is this that the laboring elements have threatened a strike should Premier Lloyd George go in with France in the movement to coerce Russia. The United States of America that had been an interested observer of the whole affair and to whom France is indebted many millions of dollars on account of money and supplies advanced to her, is now joining with France in her movement against the Russians. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Natural Bridge, Va., July 19, 1920.

Yes indeed I went, and it looked like everybody was there, at that Circus last Tuesday. Some crowd; some show; and they took away some money. Talk about robbery well what do you think about paying 25 cents for a bottle of Chero-Cola? Well, that's all the circus people charged for it. Did I buy one? You know me better than that. I would have seen them in — yes sir, as far as a Jay bird could fly in a year, flying ten hours a day, and making 35 miles an hour, and that's some distance, before I would have paid such a price. Many paid it, but you know you can't kill them all, for every one you kill, there are three born in his place; and still we are only children when these things come along and as Mr. Barnum, the greatest showman that ever lived, once said, "The public likes to be hood-winked and so it is, if another er circus comes along tomorrow or next week just like the rest, I will go too. I may have lots to say next week. Would say more now, but I am a little late and there is a large delegation just coming in the city, and are at the church just across from our office and Tiff just keeps calling me to come see some of the good looking girls, and you know me, I just must go.

C., Aug. 13.—An epoch making period in the lives of the colored citizens of this city was reached last Saturday morning, when the Friernal Banking and Trust Company threw open its doors to the public at 9:00 A. M. and closed at 3:00 P. M. with a day's deposit of $82,000.

While searching for bee trees and honey within one-half mile of King George Courthouse, a citizen of the county discovered a moonshiner's outfit and many gallons of corn whisky hidden in a brush-covered, secluded spot.

DALE, Owner BRITAIN AGHAST AT NEW CRISIS FREE—FASHION BOOK MAILED UPON REQUEST 81X THE WANDER Action of U. S. and France in Denouncing Reds is Blow to the Nation. Pear Expressed Soviet Will Accept Challenge and Try to Sweep Over Europe. London, Aug. 11.—The action by the United States, when President Wilson in his note yesterday demanded that the Russian Soviet Government be crushed, and by France today, when she recognized the Government of Gen. Baron Peter Wrangel, has, whether or not connected—and there is evidence from Paris, that the two moves were connected—shattered all Premier Lloyd George's peace hopes. It was predicted here today that the war party in Moscow would take up the challenge and break off armistice and peace negotiations with the Poles and press on in their attempt to conquer Europe. Thus America and France have formed a transmutation into steel of that sword which Premier Lloyd George tried his best to show members of the House of Commons yesterday was only a supposititious one of lath. The Premier in the House of Commons tonight could hardly conceal his chagrin when he said he had received no official information that the French Government had recognized General Wrangel. He insisted that at the Hlyte conference 'no proposal was submitted for recognition of the South Russian leader. SEE GRAVE PERIL IN EAST According to the parliamentary job by correspondents of the London news papers, the Premier's statement deep ened the mystery of the reported recognition of Gerenal Wrangel by France. Sir Donald Maclean, the Liberal leader, declared that France must go on alone if this were her policy, as Great Britain in his opinion would not allow herself to be pledged to un limited military adventure in Russia. The Labor members loudly applauded this declaration. A new Armageddon it is held here has been brought nearer by the action of Washington and Paris than it has been at any time since July 22, when a Russo-Polish armistice was first sought as a means of stopping the gigantic strides of the Red army toward the Rhine. While it was pre-empted that the Bolshevik would press on and capture Warsaw and then complete their "Red bridge to the Rhine," new and alarming reports received by the British Foreign Office were to the effect that the Reds were actually pressing on in their hostile campaign in the East, where, it has always been asserted in well informed quarters here, lies their principal objective. Late news here indicates that the Reds have invaded Armella in force. While many observers here say that America and France were right in arousing Premier Lloyd George "from a fool's paradise" to a realization of the menace, it is obvious that his policy of negotiating with the Soviet could not have been avoided in any effcient. ASK IF U. S. WILL FIGHT Also many persons here are asking if now that President Wilson has poked a stick into the hornets' nest, America will take her share of the stings. "Will she fight with us?" they ask. The developments in Washington and in Paris came as a shock to war worn England, which was sure that at last peace was in sight. Indeed, these developments threw the Premier's Russian policy back suddenly into Alice's wonderland; and more the President's bristling at the very thought of even treating with the present Russian Government and France's startling recognition of General Wrangel throws into the dol drums, the Premier's stately ship of policy which was launched last night with a sail to catch almost every wind wafted by British opinion. There is no British opinion this afternoon. Great Britain, in fact, stands aghast at the prospect of a complete domestic or allied split, or both, at the moment of gravest menace since 1914. Downing Street is severely silent. The Foreign Office has adopted Herbert H. Asquith's famous motto, and pointing a none too steady finger in the direction of Minsk, says: "Wait and see." The Premier at the end of his speech in the House last night, defended the proposed London conference, in which he said he expected Ameri ca would participate, and then he addressed the Russians, saying: "If you have a real desire for peace, you will get it, but if you are out to challenge the institutions up on which the liberties of Europe depend and, upon which civilization rests, then we shall meet at Philip."

MISS HALLIE G, BROWN IS FOR HARDING. Famous Colored Woman Misquoted by Southern Newspapers and Associated Press in Interview. Chicago, Aug. 12.—Recently hundreds of southern newspapers and as many Democratic publications in the North carried an interview purporting to come from Miss Hallie Q. Brown, President of the National Association of Colored Women, professor at Wilberforce University, brilliant teacher of expression and famous woman, in which she is reported to have said that the "Republican party has been asked for a plan in its platform and had given a splinter." In a letter addressed to Phil H. Brown, publicity director of the Republican National Committee, "Miss Brown repudiates the interview as a sample of Democratic duplicity, and announces that she is doing every thing in her power to elect Senator Harding to the Presidency. "DREADFULLY MISQUOTED" "I two never had any doubts of our Republican party," writes Miss Brown. I was dreadfully misquoted by those southern papers. They did not print what I said about the Democratic party and that I was returning home to work for Harding." The Democratic party offers the colored people absolutely nothing. Its activities are all invested to take from them every civic right and privilege they secured under the Republican party, yet its papers do not hesitate to stoop even to a point where they misquoted a woman in their zeal to create any sort of disaffection in the Republican party. Miss Brown is a sister to the late Jere A. Brown of Cleveland, one of the pioneer members of the Ohio leg ilature and a great friend of Senator Harding and William McKinley. It is understood that the famous choctonist will have a big part in the work of organization among the colored women of the country. This was practically arranged for soon after the National Convention had adjourned in June. LEAGUE SUBMERSION IS FEARED Wilson Will Fight to Keep All Attention on HIs One Pet Project. COX MIGHT STRAY AWAY Rumors Persist That Nominee Feels He Has Done Full Duty to Executive. Washington, Aug. 11.—President Wilson, bent on making the election this fall a "solemn referendum" on the League of Nations question, is running—into difficulties which he will strive to overcome by taking a hand in the campaign from his place on the back porch of the White House. The President will endeavor in every way he can to keep attention forcused on the league issue and prevent any divergence from that issue by the can didates. Two announcements have come to Washington which have been seriously disturbing to the President. One of these is that Governor Cox feels that he has done his full duty to the league issue in his speech of acceptance and that henceforth he will conserve his efforts on other issues. This would be in keeping with the statement made by George White, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, that the "paramount issue" would be "progressiveism" and not the Wilson League of Nations. ```markdown ``` --- --- ALS by Lucinda Young, who in the twenty-four days and saw dreams and to write the wonders she saw into the seven year famine that bogged in arms and extends to the foreign lands, resge rage among the people and saw that there were not enough living already in the land.

The other word which has trickled to the Presidential car and caused a disturbance is the announcement from Marion that the sins of the pres ent Administration would be a blank et issue with the League of Nations ness a part of the issue, but no an issue itself, as Mr. Wilson would have it. Mr. Wilson is very anxious its understood, to have the League made more important by the Republic candidate instead of merely using it as a sample of the way the Administration has abandoned the interests of the American people in the years he has been in the saddle. The nomination of a man who was not of the White House coterie has forced the Wilson faction of the Democratic party to make terms in order to get any kind of a showing for the "paramount" League issue. The President realizes the troubles he has ahead in keeping the two candidates talking exclusively about the League. Governor Cox on the occasion of the In spite of the apparent blanket indorsement of his League ideas by Administration crowd are not satisfied. For one thing, they feel that they might rest easier about their pet project and Governor Cox's attitude toward it if he had been a little more specific about Article X. This, described by the President as the "heart of the convenant," Governor Cox did not go into detail about, merely making the amazing statement that the Monroe Doctrine is the "very essence" of the Article X. No one here has pretended to understand just what this means. Even the President never has gone so far in his pursuit of his plan of internationalization of America as to pretend to believe that there is any similarity between the doctrine designed to keep Europe out of America and the covenant designed to drag America into Europe. The President, beset the lingering fear that the candidate of his party will gradually grow colder and cold toward the League issue, may revert to keeping the League before the public in connection with the Europe can situation similar to the present Russian-Polish crisis, and to writing statements during the campaign constantly putting the League up as the one big idea all voters should have in mind next November.

WELL KNOWN WOMAN TELLS RACE HARDING MUST WIN. One of Foremost Colored Women of Nation Compares Harding to Abraham Lincoln. New York—Speaking before the North-Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs at Concord Baptist church Brooklyn, Thursday evening, August 5th, Mrs. Marie A. Crawford, L. L. B., forcibly outlined the position of the colored people of the country in this political campaign and warmly praised Senator Harding for his outspoken utterances in behalf of justice to colored people. Mrs. Crawford is one of the formost colored women of the nation, graduate of a university as well as in law, and has distinction as a writer and speaker. She was designated by the Republican National Committee as its representative at the session of the New England Federation and commissioned by the committee to extend greetings. Her speech made a fine impression. Mrs. Crawford spoke as follows: Madame President, Members of the North-Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs: "I extend to you the greetings of the National Republican Committee in your work for selfbetterment and I am instructed to say to you, in behalf of the" Republican National Committee, that it is the earnest wish of the Committee that the press session of the North-Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs will be a continuance of the splendid work you have done in the past. With us, as a people, we are confronted with questions of graver concern than economic problems or even the all important Wilson League of Nations. This national campaign confronts us at a time when not only is our liberty denied in a large section of this Republic, but the lives of our people are without valuation in the consideration of the Southern Democracy. We, therefore unlike other more fortunate American citizens, are not permitted to merely concern ourselves in such issues as finance and foreign affairs for we are now compelled to face the most serious condition which is one involving the very fundamental principles of human life and human liberty. That the great leadership of the Republican party is now conscious of this situation confronting the colored people of the nation there can be no doubt. The man of the hour is here as the man of the hour has always come. Not since Lincoln has Colored America heard such a message as has come from Harding. In his acceptance speech of the nomination for President at Marion Ohio July 22 1920 this great leader of the Republican party, without evasion, assumed the mantle of Lincoln. "We, as a people, suffer keenly be cause the American Constitution is not upheld in its letter and in its spirit and because the law is not enforced. Listen to these words of Senator Harding, from his speech of acceptance, on this subject: "I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional President, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution, muthinkable to evade the law, when our every committal is to orderly government. "Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of Congress must harmonize with the constitution, else they soon are adjudged to be void; Congress enact the laws; and the executive branch of government is charged with enforcement. We can not nullify because of divided opinion we can not jeopardize orderly government with contempt and law enforcement. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, when ever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment commands but per version and evasion mark the paths to failure of government itself." "I know. Women of the Federation that you have, at every session of this body, petitioned the leaders of this nation in the behalf of law and order. Time and again you have sent telegrams of protest against the inhuman butchery and mob murder of our people. I have been with you in your sessions of prayer for deliverance from this great wrong. During all these long and trying years of the persecution of our people it has seemed to us that no great and powerful voice would rise up in our behalf. In the midst of our seeming hopelessness, however, God has raised up Warren G. Harding. In answer to the prayers of mothers and fathers of slavery days chattel slavery was overthrown. The prayers of their sons and daughters of today are being heard and political slavery will as inevitably end. Mob murder will go down with mob government. At the last, after all our waiting thank God we have a statesman who has the courage and the conscience to declare in the language of Senator Harding, these words: "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America. This is not all that Senator Harding has said. In his creed of political beliefs he emphatically proclaims: "I believe the Negro citizen of America should be guaranteed the on joyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full measure of citizenship betstowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands. No such assurance as this from the head of the Republican party has ever come to us before. The outspoken utterances of Senator Harding as the party standard bearer, become the commitment of the Republican party." Our very all is involved in the success of the Republican party in the coming election. I shudder to think what would hefall our people in the South in the event of Republican defeat." RUFFIAN SAILORS AT CONEY BEAT UP COLORED WOMEN. Three Women and two Men are Attacked on B. R. T. Train Ipaten Up and Thrown Off—Train Left Them at Island. An outrage that might have been committed in Georgia, Mississippi of Texas was given a Coney Island setting when on the night of Thursday August 5, a party of five colored per son, three women and two men was se upon by a crowd of United States sailors and not only severely beaten but thrown from the B. R. T. train in which they were seated. The party consisted of Mrs. Mamie Bell, 46 West 139th street, Mrs. Juliette Winters, and Mrs. Marie Rucker, both of 664 Lenox avenue, John S. Robb, 235 West 138th street and Lewis W. Lee, 253 West 136th street. They had spent the evening at the famous seashore fun resort and about 12:10 A. M. had boarded the city-bound B. R. Q. T. train enroute to Manhattan. Seated quietly in the car which was packed with homegoing folks, the party had no thought or intimation of trouble. According to Mr. Lee a bunch of eighteen roughneck sailors boarded the train and as soon as they spied the colored passengers began to moisten them. The party paid no attention to the sailors, and finally the ruffians came up to them. One of the sailors, and finally the ruffians came up to them. One of the sailors tapped Mr. Robb on the shoulder and asked he question, "Don't you know you are in a dangerous place?" Feeling that the men were only seeking trouble and not carring to involve the young women in so unpleasant a situation, Robb made no reply. SAILORS ATTACKED THEM. This refrence seemed to serve only to increase the burly ruffians and they immediately surrounded the party of colored people. Three of them got to Lee and then informed their partners that they had only to take care of Robb. Not content with beating up the men and throwing them from the train, the sailors, with the chivalry for which they are so noted, turned upon the women of the party, beat them in their faces and threw them from the train also. Frantic calls for help from all members of the party met with no response from passengers train crew or officers of the law. A young white boy, passing through the train selling peanuts and popcorn was the only individual with courage to protest against the barbarous acts of the wearers of the U. S. navy uniform and he was likewise beaten and thrown from the train. The train crew before the victims could secure names of witnesses or any data that would serve as evidence save the number of the train, closed the train doors, gave the signal to the motorman and thus caused the train to pull out leaving the colored men and women bruised and battered on the ground. Mr. Lee consulted a lawyer early on Friday morning but was advised to take his case to the N. A. A. C. P. This he did but the legal force of that organization, it appeared, was on vacation, and there was no one to take up the case for immediate action. Notwithstanding these setbacks, it is the intention of Mr. Lee and his companions to call on every possible source of aid in the endeavor to secure redress for the grievous wrongs which they suffered at the hands of these civilized (?) barbarians. It is probable that a suit against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit will be instituted as a first step in the matter. The identity of the sailors is of course shrouded in mystery, so far as the victims are concerned. (New Pork Age. LOOTERS GET NAVY CODE BOOK. Aliens Accused in Thefts From H-1 Off Lower California. San Pedro, Cal., Aug. 9.—Navy in intelligence officers it became known to day, are conducting a search for a code book said to have been taken from the submarine H-1 when that vessel was stranded last March on the shoals of Margarita Island, Lower California. The shi's safe was looted, presumably by alien fishermen operating in the vicinity. TRIBUTE BY COOLIDGE. Northampton, Mass.—In his speech of acceptance of the Republican nomination for Vice-President here, Governor Calvin Coolidge made the following brilliant reference to the loyalty and worth of the colored citizens: There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty they remained loyal serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every $5 they posed in Liberty Bonds surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest to be relieved from all imposition to be defended from lynching, and to be freely granted equal opportunities.

French Spies Report Soviet and German Governments Have Formed Alliance. (By Laurence Hills.) Paris, Aug. 12.—The match is dangerously near the European powder keg. Only a new rapprochement be between France and England, for which steps are being taken and which must involve mutual concessions, can it would seem, avert another disaster. The America note in which President Wilson's attitude on the Russ-Polish crisis was outlined to the Italian Ambassador in Washington has, if anything encouraged the French in the new position they have taken, in the form of French recognition of General Baron Peter Wrangel as the head of the do facto Government of South Russia. France in the light of startling in formation just received here and be lieving her security menaced, the whole Treaty of Versailles in peril, and England for commercial reasons, showing a tendency to draw away from her, seems to have decided to bring matters swiftly to a head before a new coalition can be formed and her military preponderance offset. SITUATION IS COMPLICATED So alarming appears the situation that members of Parliament are do manding that Premier Millerand return from a tour of the devastated regions which he began this morning and summon Parliament, but the illness of President Deschanel is a fa foe greatly complicating the situation because if the Cabinet were to fall political chaos might result. Meanwhile, however, conversations were begun today between France and Great Britain at the British Embassy here, and these may bring about a new understanding. It appeared today that the action of the French Cabinet is recognizing Gen. Wrangel was made known to England immediately after the Cabl net meeting was held and therefore, Premier Lloyd George's ignorance of it last night is not understood here. Recognition was extended to Geuer at Wrangel, the correspondent of The Sun and New York Herald was informed for the following: 1. Because France was convinced through her spy system and other refutable information that within the last ten days the Soviet and the German Governments, through the agency of the Independent Socialists and Communists, formed an absolute economic, political and military alliance aimed at the overthrow of the Treaty of Versailles and the restoration of Germany's pre-war frontiers and economic advantages. 2. The refusal of Premier Lloyd George at the conference in Hythe to accept the proofs offered by Premier Millerand of Germany's complicity with the Bolshevik and the German scheme to overthrow the treaty. 3. The receipt by the Government, herebefore the Cabinet meeting of a cabled summary of the American note to the Italian Ambassador in Washington, which was accepted as supporting France's thesis and policy of non-contact with the Bolshevik and as against the policy of Great Britain. RECOGNITION OF CRISIS This action by the French Cabinet was fully recognized as precipitating the crisis. France wants England to recognize General Wrangel and to follow the same policy as do the French, but it is doubtful if England will do so. GREEK PREMIER IS BADLY WOUNDED. Two Assassins Fire Eight Shots at Him, Two Taking Effect. CALLED AN OPPRESSOR Attempt on Life of Venizelos Had Been Expected Long Time. Paris, Aug. 12—The long expected attack on the life of Premier Eleutherio Venizelos of Greece came at 10:40 o'clock tonight just as the Greek Premier was boarding a train for Nice, en route to Athens. He had just said good-bye to the Greek Minister in Paris and stopped from the train platform in the gare de Lyon to his train when two men suddenly sprang toward him and one of them began to fire a revolver. He emptied three chambers of his weapon when his companion began to shoot firing five shots at Mr. Venizolos. The Greek Premier was wounded in the right hip and left shoulder. He was taken to a private hospital in the Rue Bizet in the automobile of the Greek Minister in Paris. It was said at the hospital that his wounds were serious. At midnight his condition was said to be as satis factory as could be expected, considering the nature of the wounds the age of the victim and the shock resulting from the attack. The shots caused great excitement in the railroad station and when it became known that an attempt had been made on the life of the Greek Premier the crowd surged around the would-be assassins and began to beat them. They were kicked and cuffed and were if danger of being mobbed by the crowd when the police fought their way to the two men and arrested them. Even as the police were taking them away from the railroad station cries of "Lynch them!" were heard. At first it was thought that Turkish Nationalists were responsible for the attack on Mr. Venizolos's life. When the two assailants were taken to the police station they declared that they were Greeks, however, but were said by the police to have admitted that they had planned for a long time to kill the Greek Premier, whom they characterized as an opressor of Greece. They gave their names as Apostolos Serppis, formerly a Lieutenant in the Greek navy and now employed as a correspondent by the Athens Journal de la Bourse, and Georges Thyriakis formerly a lieutenant of engineers in the Greek Army. MAN TO PAY PENALTY. Charged With Attacking White Woman, Georgia Negro's Appeal Is Denied, by Court. --- Savannah, G., Aug. 14.—Shortly Ford a Negro, twice convicted and sentenced to hang on a charge of attacking a white woman in Brookes County, Georgia, in May, 1918 was to day denied another trial by Judge Peter W. Meldrim in Chatham County Superior Court. The Negro was to have been hanged here yesterday but the motion acted as a supersedeas. --- MOB ATTEMPTS TO LYNCH MAN AT LYNCHBURG. Police Rout Crowd That Tried to Break Into Jail to Seize Williams. Lynchburg, Va., Aug. 15.—A mob of 300 people attempted to take from the City Jail at 1 o'clock this morning Robert Williams a Negro, accused of criminally attacking a white grill. The cit youth authorities anticipate this movement and headed by Sergent Tyree, the city jailor and Chief of Police John Seay, they dispersed the crowd and arrested two of of its members. The Negro had been removed a short time before to a place unknown. LOUDON CITIZENS STORM JAIL Alleged Assailant, of Poung Bride Brought to Winchester for Safe Keeping. Winchester, Va. Aug. 13.—Frank Anderson, a Loudoun County Negro charged with attempting to attack Mrs. Virginia Cridler, 19 years old, a bride of three months was brought here late today by Sheriff Edwards, of Loudoun and placed in a steel cage in Winchester jail for safe keeping. The attempted outrage is said to have occurred while Mrs. Cridler who lives near Goose Creek was on her way to a store. *Citizens of Loudoun County it was said, stormed [the Loudoun County] jail at Leesburg last night demanding that Anderson who had been an prehended, he turned over to them and lynched. Sheriff Edwards fought off the mob, which apparently lacked a leader, and when he heard lynching talk again this afternoon he conferred with Governor Davis, who was at his Leesburg home and Sheriff Panett of Frederick County, was requested to receive Anderson. The prison is heavily guarded. Local militiamen were ready to night for any emergency. It is the intention to keep Anderson here until the next term of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County. Beyond denying his guilt, Anderson refused to discuss the affair with Sheriff Pannett. The prisoner 'is about twenty-five years old and inclined to be surly, Sheriff Edwards said the father of Anderson had threatened to blow up the town of Purcellville if his son was prosecuted. The Andersons are regarded as "bad men" in Loudoun County. HARDING RESOLUTION Columbia, Mo., Aug. 4.—An emancipation celebration held here today, passed resolutions commending Senator Harding for his bold stand in reference to the citizenship of the Negro. With complete unanimity the 4,000 colored people present pleaded their selves to do everything in their power to elect the Republican nominee who has the courage of his convictions. W. E. Mollison a lawyer from Chicago made the principal address. THE RICHMOND PLANET BRITISH PREMIER REFUSES TO BELIEVE FRANCE HAS RECOGNIZED WRANGEL London, Aug. 11.—Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons to night made this statement regarding the report from Paris that France had recognized General Wrangel in South Russia: "I feel sure if Premier Millerand had had it in mind to issue a proclamation recognizing General Wrangel he would have intimated it to the allied representatives. Therefore I must come to the conclusion, that some unfortunate mistake has occurred in the report, given through a very-reliable agency (Neuters) and that the French Government has not authorized it." Mr. Lloyd George proceeded to admit conflict of views between the French and British Governments respecting General Wrangel, but he added that neither Government was under any obligation with respect to Gen. Wrangel, neither to each other nor as to Russia. According to the Press Association the decision of the French Government to recognize General Wrangle was taken two or three weeks ago and has no connection with the Polish crisis. It is added that the British Government has not been notified of the decision to recognize General Wrangle. --- It will be recalled that in the British note to Moscow, suggesting a peace conference in London Mr. Lloyd George stipulated General Wrangel be invited to attend. To this the Soviet Government contemptously refused to agree. SHOTGUN BRIGADES ARE TO APPREHEND THENES. . Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 14.—Shotgun brigades of citizens and officers of the peace are being organized in this art of the State in an effort to stop and apprehend thieves, particularly bank robbers. State authorities have taken the initiative in organizing the posses, according to Sheriff Frank Kennedy. It is planned that when a robbery is reported, notice be sent throughout the country in which it occurred and counties nearby and the "shotgun" men called together to patrol all highways. The Iowa Bankers' Association has sent out notices that it is believed that at least three gaugs of bank robbers have worked in the State recently and with the aid of speedy automobiles soon are long distances from the scenes of the robberies.

CAMPBELL—In sad, but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Archer Campbell, who departed this life four years ago, August 15th, 1916. Dear is the grave in which he was laid Sweet is the memory which never will fade, Heart of my life is buried deep In the cemetery whr my husband sleeps. Our home is sad and lonely, Without his smiling face No one can fill his vacant chair; Nor none can fill his place. Oh, could I open wide the grave. And see thy face once more; And hear thy voice is all I crave, As in the days of yore. God called him home, it was His will BA in my heart I love him still; His memory is as dear today As in the hour he passedaway. By his wife, PHYLLIS CAMPBELL. THE OHIO LIAR AND GRAFTER Our attention has been called to the fact that some one has been sending to race newspapers some very malicious lies to the effect that, the Hon. Harry M. Daughtry had "doublecrossed" the editor of The Gazette, that Ralph W. Tyler was helping our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio, that the editor of this paper had fought every prominent Afro-Amerit can in the stat of cof Ohio for the last twenty years etc. What is surprising to us is that any of our confreres or the race press would publish such a batch of lies about us, especially when they know the scurrilous writer of them so well. The same individual is wasting his time "knocking" Senator Hardling's candidacy. How foolish and silly! He is really not worth the attention we are giving him and should be ignored. FIRST MT.

MOTORMAN NOT LOSING ANY TIME "I don't think anyone ever suffered more from stomach trouble and bloating than I have. I had to lay off my run more than half the time and could get no help from prescriptions or medicine. One of my friends advised using Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which I found to be the greatest remedy ever put on the earth. I have not lost a day since taking it. It is worth its weight in gold." It is a simple harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For Sale by all Drugsists. FLORENCE LETTER Mr. Jos. Thomas, of Bennettsville, S. C., left for Timmonsville, S. C., where he is doing public work.
