WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD LENO VOLUME XXXVII NO. 43 RICHMOND VIRGINIA SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1920 AN OPEN LETTER --- To All Baptists, Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 24. My Dear Comrades in Service, for al- most a quarter of a century I have sent an annual letter to every friend who has contributed to our work and urged that they send a sabbatan donation for the cause of Foreign Missions to the National Baptist Con- vention. The need is greater than it has ever been and I urge you, for the sake of the Master to give to His cause and give Liberally. The work is calling to, help Dr. Amber, our superintendent in West Africa, traveled nearly 300 miles during July in a great effort to push the organizing and strengthening of the Lord's work there. Letters from our African missionaries, Misses Harris and Bryon and Rev. Hotton publish in the Herald, speak eloently for the millions of souls who cannot voice their own plea. The day of great undertakings is at hand and the Master's work must not to be a laggard. If we loved Chris as we say, His work would be put in foreall all the enterprises of the earth. I sincerely believe that you will sup- port our endeavor to place Jesus standard in all the world having the need presented to you. DO YOU KNOW Starvation is starting many of our African students in the face. Our missionaries are burdened by lack of funds and the proper equipment. Many children have been dismissed from the gatton schools. There are 1500 miles between missionary stations in Northern Africa? Liberia is pushed almost to the wall? Last year the Negro Baptists of the United States averaged less than S-10 of a penny per capita for Foreign Missions (for the whole year?) Think of these things and answer the call of the Master's work. Now I the appointed time Come to the great National Baptist Convention, If you can; if not, pray for the success of its work and the godliness of its sessions. My address there will be 823 N West street, Indianapolis, Ind. The enclose at least $1 and get some friends to give the same and send it there so that I may resort it to the great mass meeting during our national meeting. I am yours, in His service. L. G.

C., Aug. 25—John Jeff frees, a Negro, charged with attacking a four year old white child was lynched near Graham today by a mob. The mob overpowered Sheriff C. D. Storey and six deputies and carried the Negro off to a lonely spot between Burlington and Graham where his body was riddled with but lets. The crime for which the young Negro was put to death is alleged to have been committed at 10 o'clock this morning near the child's home. Cries of her mother it is said caused the Negro to run leaving the little girl without serious injury.

James, the well-known and popular shoemaker, who has been in business for so many years adjoining the True becomes from a second street was found dead in some at his residence, 1244 Lough Street, between the hours at twelve and one o'clock by his on. He was leaving over the tullace foremost and the bathroom wet was unseen, death was due to popoplex according to finding of the coroner. His wife immediately became hysterical and it was some time before she regained her composure. The funeral took place Friday, August 27th at the Ebenezer Baptist church. Funeral Director, A. D. Drive was in charge of the remains, the heavy downpour of rain had its direct at Evergreen Cemetery and as a result, the transmission on the lease broke down and this magnificent funeral car, said to be the rinsest in the State became stalled in going to the hill to the high ground in this cemetery. The family could not pass and the payhareers were unmanned, the remains carried on top of the hill. Here too the rain had its effect, or although this is the best place in the cemetery, the heavy down pour of rain had caused the water to pour in and it was deemed inadvisible to wary until it could be held out, so the remains were carried down the bill to the chapel to wait for a most suspicious time for burial; the funeral party returned to their homes. In the meantime the expensive automobile hearse was towed back to Price's garage for repairs, whether than this unavoidable condition of affairs there was no hitch in the arrangements. --- WORD CONFERENCE ON CHRIST TAN FATH AND ORDER The preliminary meeting of the World Conference on Christian Faith and Order, which met in Geneva, Switzerland on August 12th ended to day.

SEPTEMBER 4, 1920 Trouble is as plentiful these days as grass on the ground. The promise of happiness in Heaven makes many a person able to bear the sufferings of earth. Yes, money was made to spend in the right way and it was made to save too In the proper spirit. Some people are dying and some others are dancing. The former are sad-faced, while the latter are smiling. Lynching is being condemned from one end of this country to the other and yet it continues to flourish in some sections Some people carry sunshine with them and make people around them happy. Some others carry storms with them and make those around miserable. Some people are not satisfied with the bright side of anything. They are always turning over the object to find the dark side. Gov. James M. Cox has made a good Governor, but if his speeches are to be taken as a criterion, if elected, he will make a poor President. Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt has been "put upstairs," so to speak and from the way he is talking, he has gone several stories higher than his abilities will enable him to fill. When a wife gets in a frame of mind not to save any money for fear that her husband will use it on some other woman, after she is dead, the dove of peace may be seen flitting out of the window looking for another abode and habitation. WOMAN SUFFRAGE Officially speaking Tennessee has ratified the amendment to the Constitution of the United States granting the right to vote to all women, black and white, rich and poor. The measure was bitterly contested both North and South. The basis of action in the southern States related primarily to the manner and method by which this was accomplished. The time-honored doctrine of States' Rights was ruthlessly diregarded. Under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson the last vestige of the great principles for which millions of lives were sacrificed and the Stars and Bars were furled at Appomattox was wiped out forever. Under the law, the right of suffrage could have been conferred by State enactment, by the amendment of the constitutions of the several states, just as has been done in many of the States of the Far West. But this was by too slow a process and so a campaign was inaugurated and the amendment to the Constitution brought about in the same manner as was completed the enfranchisement of the colored citizens of these United States. This was done too through the agency of the States' Rights democrats and over the pro- tests of many of these same kind of people. Two Governors of northern States declined to call the legislatures of those commonwealths into special sessions to pass the act of ratification. The peculiar part of the business related to the Tennessee Constitution, is that it prohibited the passage of a constitutional amendment by ya legislature of that State until it had been subsequently submitted to the following legislature, which had been elected by the people. Thus the Democrats of Tennessee had the option of obeying their own Constitution or of recognizing the centralized form of Government to the extent of acting under the Federal Act, oblivious of the binding responsibility of their own State instrument. Just what the effect will be remains to be seen. Of course, the cry that many millions of colored women would be enfranchised alongside of the white ones was used to defeat the ratification of the Amendment. It had its effect, but it did not have enough effect to accomplish its purpose. The reply was that this new alleged menace would be controlled in the same mode and manner that the voting of colored men had been controlled. Secretary Colby has been forward in promulgating the decree giving women the right to vote. It may be observed that should the Republican party come into power, its leaders will find engrafted upon the statute books of the nation measures that they have been striving to have enacted for more than half a century. The right to vote will be controlled from Washington and the powers conferred upon President Wilson in many instances will be handed down to his successor in office. It may be that Governor James M. Cox will occupy the White House during the next four years, but nothing short of a miracle can bring this about. Deception seems to be the great aim of most of the statesmen in his day and time, but the people too seem to have awakened to a realization of existing conditions and are now anxious for another opportunity to express their opinion at the polls. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

Signs Certificate of Ratification at His Home Without Women Witnesses. Washington, Aug. 26.—The half-century struggle for women suffrage in the United States reached its climax at 8 o'clock this morning, when Baibridge Colby, as Secretary of State, issued his proclamation announcing that the Nineteenth Amendment had become a part of the Constitution of the United States. The signing of the proclamation took place at that hour at Secretary Colby's residence 1507 K. street, North west without ceremony of any kind, and the issuance of the proclamation was unaccompanied by the taking of movies or other pictures, despite the fact that the National Woman's Party, or militant branch of the general suffrage movement, had been anxious to be represented by delegation of women and to have the historic event framed for public display and permanent record. Secretary Colby did not act with undue haste in signing the proclamation, but only after he had given careful study to the packet which arrived by mail during the early morning hours containing the certificate of the Governor of Tennessee that the State's Legislature had ratified the Congressional resolution submitting the amendment to the States for action. NO SUFFRAGE LEADERS SEE SIGNING. None of the leaders of the woman suffrage movement was present when the proclamation was signed. "It was quite tragic,' declared Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, of the National Woman's Party. This was the final culmination of the women's fight and women, irresponsive of factions, should have been allowed to be pres ent when the proclamation was signed. However, the women of America have fought a big fight and nothing can take from them their triumph." Leaders of both branches of the wo man's movement—the militants, headed by Miss Alice Paul, and the conservatives, led by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt—some of whom had been on watch nearly all night for the arrival of the Tennessee Governor's certification visited the State Department and the militants sought to have Secretary Colby go through a duplication of the signing scene in the presence of a movie camera. But, Mr. Colby declined to do so, on the ground that it was not necessary to detract from the dignity and importance of the signing of the proclamation by staging a scene in imitation of the actual signing of the proclamation.

Yes, sir, I am really able to sit up and peep around just a little, but you wouldn't think it, not after some of the things I have seen and heard I was almost talked to death by a young lady well known for her ability as a talker. I plead guilty; it was my own fault. I knew better, but some of my friends told me I could hold my own among these talking people and I made good a few nights ago, attending a social affair. I had one lady, with some reputation as a great talker, spellbound for half hour and everybody wondered how it was done, but I met my finish just a few days later when I was a guest at a dinner party, when a young lady talked me until my laws were too FISHING sore to eat dinner, and you know she was going some when she stopped me from eating. Everybody was sorry for me except the lady giving the dinner. She was glad I couldn't do any more in the way of eating and expressed her pleasure at the ability of the lady and said she was glad I wasn't able to eat more. I hadn't done much I only ate four pieces of chicken, several helpings of those good old snaps and I have forgotten the times I paid my respects to the potato pudding and other things, but I do remember the five ears of corn, don't think she should have been so very glad I was not able to eat. But I really enjoyed it and I finished my dinner later on in the evening, but sure enuf my faws are still sore, but believe me, I kept in sight in that talking race. Say, fellows, did you ever have a girl to propose? Gee, its great but it makes a fellow feel funny. Yes, sir, she sure did. What did I say? Why I said, Oh, Miss . . . . . . that is so sudden, you really must give me a little time to think. I know she wants me to say that I will be a brother to her, but I wont say it; that's my trouble now, Ive got too many to be brother to, and then I'm tired of being brother anyway, so you can watch me go and tell her yes, then it's up to her and I ain't going to stand no breaking off.

An eminent specialist says: There is nothing which will make the hair grow unless some means, method or treatment be devised to increase the functional activity of the follicle, subacute glands and nerve centres of the hair. And according to this same authority this cannot be done by the ordinary tonics and quick hair growers to be found on the market on account of local obstruction and foreign matter always to be found on the scalp which destroys the active elements of the preparation (that is if it has any) before it can reach the follicle. We further states—Before any application can reach the follicle (the part where the hair germinates b) THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Grant B. Hamilton of Judge. to excite or produce a longer and athenic hair growth the treatment must possess such remidal activity as will positively remove, destroy or ab sorb all local obstruction and foreign matter and at the same time pause its active therapeutic properties to penetrate, excite and stimul late the follicular secretion, thus causing an active formation , or germination of the hair cell and if the follicle is not dead the hair will rapidly increase in length and growth.

In a more recent writing this same authority proves the hair becomes straight as it increases in length. In sad but loving remembrance of Miss Georgia Collins, who departed this life four years ago, September 3, 1916. We are only remembered by what we have done. —Colored woman wants two unfurnished rooms or small house by September 8th, 913 St. John Street. BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone, Va., Aug. 31.—A very sad incident occurred last Saturday morning a few miles southwest of town, when a sixteen year old boy, by the name of Eddie Robertson blew out his father's brains with a shotgun. It is said that the boy broke in the house of Mr. Clinto Eppes a neighbor, the night before in an effort to obtain some money which he had by some means learned was in the home. While plundering around in the room some member of the family heard him and screamed. This fright ened the youth and he fled. They thought they recognized the lad and the next morning told his father, William Robertson₀ of what had happened. It is further said that the father went to Mr. Eppes' house and the boy was traced home. The father then decided to punish the boy and called to the boy to come out of the house that this might be carried out. The boy failed to come forth so the father started in for him, and as he did this, the lad pulled the trigger and blew out his brains as above stated, the father living but a short while. The boy was put under arrest and brought here, but later removed to Nottoway Jail, where he will remain awaiting his trial, which will probably come up at the September term of the Circuit Court which convenes Monday, September 6th. The father was buried Sunday afternoon in the family bury ground at his fatherin-law's, Mr. David Shelton. Revival services started at Shiloh, Sunday morning with very bright prospects. Fourteen converts were secured in the Sunday School that morning, followed by another that night and two Monday night, making a total up to this writing of seventeen confessions. Rev. Berkley from Louisa County, is assisting Rev. Ashburn in conducting this meeting and he is making quite a impression on the public in general. One feature of the meeting is that the pastor and Rev. Berkley is trying to impress the public with the fact that salvation is free: that in order to be saved one does not have to sweat and mourn for a long time, and expect to have a great vision. But the real thing is to believe in the doctrines and teachings of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and make up in your mind to follow these and then make open confessions to the world of this fact. Mrs. Ada Pollard and children of New York and Mr. Randolph Goodwyn of Brooklyn, visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Pollard near town last week. Almost a Shadow, Afraid to Eat Almost a Shadow, Afraid to Eat "My son-in-law was so bad from stomach trouble that he was reduced to eat anything, as all food caused to eat anything, as all fool caused bloating of gas which pressed against his heart, worrying him very much.
