The Ku Klux Klan having been denied the use of the public press in advertising and promoting the organization proceeded to adopt a novel method of calling attention to the movement. The City Auditorium was seured for a meeting Thursday night, December 9th and during that day, men garbed in white with the long ghostly masks appeared in an automobile and in a wagon passing through the principal streets of the city. They carefully avoided going into old Jackson Ward, where the colored people live.
The mass-meeting was held at the City Auditorium, but it did not meet with the reception that was expected. As a result there has been a revolution of feeling on the part of the white people and the white ministers of the city decided to condemn the attempt to arouse ill feeling among the races. The action of the leading white citizens has done much to allay the feeling of unrest that has been so much in evidence among all classes of colored people.
DR. BOWIE CHARGES KU KLUN
KLAN IS MENACE TO PEACE
OF THE SOUTH.
Demonucing as 'pernicious' the methods and utterance) of persons calling themselves obliefs of a recently exploited secret order which profess to be a resuscitation of the Ku Klux Klan the Rev. W. Russell Bowie, D. D., rector of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church at last nightly service assailed recent propaganda in Richmond as calculated to now seeds of race emunity and inject into present times a spirit of rancor, he charmed that an address in the City Auditorium in behalf of the order was 'an appeal to the mob passion and to the spirit of lynch law.' The original Ku-Klux Klan, the recorder said, 'find the relative justification of a terrible emergency, but deceived that such organization now was an insult to the forces of orderly government.'
Dr. Bowie said in part:
It has seemed to a number of Christian ministers here in Richmond that there ought to be sounded from Christian pulpits an appended for the right approach toward the problem of race relationships. One of the evil societies of the war has been the tenency to turn to violence as the way of settling human controversies. It was not possible that mankind should go through the terrible experience of the world's struggle with all its inclement to hatred, and its release of evil, savage insults, and not suffer from the subtle effects, of it for ears to come. There is danger in the fact that those influences should unbatter the relationship between the white and colored peoples and that short cuts of lawlessness should take the place of a patient search for Christians in cooperation, which is the only way by which a solution of any human problem can be found.
CITIES AUDITORIUM SPEECH
In order to make this fact specific is necessary to refer to the recent report in Richmond of the so-called Ku Klux Klan. A meeting of its organization was recently held in the city Auditorium. As a part of the advertisement for the meeting a woman, in which were seated a number of masked and sheated figures, sat through the streets. A dozen men, masked and clothed in twillar white dresses of the Ku Klux sat on the platform at meeting. These facts are calculated because unseeds and fear of the negro population and to the seeds of race cumity among man everywhere. They rouse
of the ugly memories of Reconstruction days, and inject into our present times a spirit of rancor which we must avoid.
I do not know what all the declarer principles of the Ku Klux Klan in the present attempt to resuscitate it may be. Some of them may be sound I have no wish to denounce the whole order nor may any word against well intentioned men who may be in it. But there is a part of its appeal which Christian ministers cannot but recognize as pernicious, and against which a Christian community ought to set its face like flint. In the address at City Auditorium the other night, there was a distinct appeal to the mob passion and to the spirit of lynch law. The speaker of course, did not advocate this in so many words, but what he did say was that if there should be times and places when there was no judge nor prosecuting attorney nor anybody else around to see that justice was done and the Ku Klux Klan was organized, then of course, we won't organize, what of course, we won't say what might happen. And the only fact was that the audience had been worked into a mood by the speaker in which they applauded this sentence.
WARNS OF 'MALICIOUS MEN.'
In the days after the War Between the States when the whole machinery of government in the South was deprived by the carpeting rule, the Ku Kluxk had the relative justification of a terrible emergency. But to inject into the mind of people today the idea that this sort of secret organization is needed to settle race issues is to level an assault against the forces of orderly government in our communities and to play into the hands of malicious men who can insinuate themselves into the order and cloak themselves behind the white mask of a secret organization.
There are certain things in regard to the race situation which all con-solutions men and women should make unmistakable. Unmistakable is the insistence in the first place upon such goodness as shall main-take the integrity of the white race and of the Negro race too. But equal unmistakable should be the deter-mentation that the Negro as a part of the civilization which involves us all should be ensured of justice, a symp-athy and a cooperation in his best intimate desires for improvement which is violence and no secret organization shall endanger. It is plain enough to every one that there exist in the fact of two different races, set aside by side, great elements of diffen-duity and perplexity. But for all Christian people the absolute conde-rule that for this problem, as for every other, nothing less than the spirit of Christ can be followed. We cannot reach good by evil methods. We must seek toward our solution in peace and calmness and in the power of a thoughtful imagination determined to be Christian.
PAYS TRIBUTE TO LEE
In this church worshipped that greatest figure who has arisen in the last two generations from among the Southern people. In the atmospheres of this church moves and breathes still something of the spirit of Robert E. Lee. We invoke today in the guidance of our present South the spirit which he showed in his own time. In spite of every temptation to be embittered he was never bitter. Through every darkness he trusted the light and the guidance of 11 principles of Jesus. He believed that the mood of the South in the days after the war could only be met in so far as men with patience, with self control and with the power of Christian charity set themselves to build the new civilization. On no longer foundations can the civilization of today rest. We want no violence. We want no secrecy. With truth and candor and with the chivalry that
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1920
makes the strong race responsible for wise, unselfish helpfulness, toward the weaker one must we build if what we build today would be worst the endure.
Rev. T. A. Smoot in Centenary Methodist Church although speaking on an evangelistic theme, declared the institution of the Christian principle in settling all social, economic and social disputes should always be applied. He said that Christ should be made the central figure in settling all disputes and that those standing at the highest point of Christianity should make the greatest application of this.

LET IT PROVE 17S AMERICANISM
Before any association, secret or otherwise, is permitted to set itself up as the defender of America from too real or imaginary. It should be required to demonstrate the quality of its own Americanism. Before posing as the champion of 100 per cent Americanism, it should prove by words and deed that it is 100 per cent loyal to the government, to law and to order.
Can the Ku Klux Klan, a recently formed secret organization, which falsely claims to be a revival, or rath er a constitution, of that famous Klan which in times that were out of joint did a splendid work for the South and then its work done, passed on forever, measure up as that Klan measured up to the 100 per cent American gauge?
Is it American to go about preach its heyday the substitution of lynch law for the orderly procedure of the courts?
Is it American to promote racial racism and hatreds?
Is it American to arouse religious passions and to set creed against creed?
All these things, and more, on the word and prospectus of the pseudo Klan itself, it is striving to do and the American people when they come to understand its aims, will arise in their wrath, denounce it and cast it out from among them.
Several months ago The Times-Dispatch pointed out the falsity of the Klinsch claim of honorable, historical origin, and warned against its more or less openly avowed objects. Now the pulpit, as read. In the able sermon of Dr. Russell Bowie, rector of St. Paul's Ecclesiastical Church has been opened to the danger of such insults in American promemoria and rabishing its strident vobes in warfare. There is neither room nor need for this Klan in America. If those thins which it professes to intend to do really need to be done America would depend on its American London, the boys who proved their 100 feet cent Americanism on the battle fields of France, to do them. It will require no secret meetings, no calculate morning no solemn views with horrendous penalties attached, no ghostly shounds, all at the direction of an Imperial Wizard to make those services unobliety available should American institutions be in danger.

198 NEVERWEATHERS WILL
Dr. John E. Merkweather, who used secondly had executed a will provision to his marriage, in which he estimated all of his estate to his sons Mrs. Mary Whittle and Mrs. Nannie d. Wynn. He later married Dr. John Market Wells, a widow, who should be unobtained successfully to secure a divorce. They lived apart. He did not seem to know that marriage revokes a will in this State and he accordingly died intestate with the American Trust Company Administrator. Under these conditions, Mrs. Merkweather would have secured all of his personal estate and her dower rights in the estate. It now seems that his debts will absorb all of his personal estate and the widow will secure only her dower rights. The other part of the estate will be divided between Mrs. Mary Whittle, Mrs. Nannie J. Wynn and Mrs. Fernella Crump. The latter has been a resident of Pattheldphia, for some time. Attorney J. R. Pollard represented the heirs at law. The gross value of the estate is said to be about $11,000. The not value aft or the debt are paid has not been stated.

EIGHT AUTOS SWASHED AND TWO MEN INJURED IN TROLLEY CRASH HERE
Eight automobiles smashed, two men injured and the lives of several others in pand, resulted. Mundy morning when a First and Viaduct road car jumped the crack at Eighth and Main Street and dashed mainly down Eighth, sweeping everything from its path. Pedestrians were forced to the road and safety in door ways to avoid the danger as the huge steel monster continued down the hill in its wild flight. The accident beeped at 8:40 of clock when the street was filled with people on their way to business. Failure of the brakes to function is said to be the cause of the mishap.
STREET CAR IS WRECKED
The street car was wrecked. The wheels were torn off and it was tilted up on our side, with windows broken and others damaged. The street car which caused the gate door started on its mad dash just after leaving Grace Street. The motorman is said to have stopped there and told the passengers that it's brakes were not working properly and asked them to get off and walk down the hill. Most of them did that it is so sad. Some passengers rumbled on the car, however, and when the wild rush started and the less wary occupants realzed that death was starring them in the face a panic broke lose. Woman on staircase and men rushed mainly toward the doors in their trapezoid statement. The motorman of the car, powerless to stop the unrushing steel men for, stood at his post unruly awaiting the fate in store for him mostly and his hain in car, when the team should come at the foot of the hill.
At Main Street, another car was in a changing the thoroughfare. The motor is seeing the expenditure due as clearly what the power to the car is moved in up the street, thus. This is, of course, an air car from a grey and cold. A Kiffne course was not so large. "It's car's own by A. O. Swink and in it were L. A. Huns and Thomas Reynolds. The course was struck in the middle by the�dhing steel monster and thrown a red motor, and landing under the hour trucks of the trolley. A great car was the internet between the street car and the automobile that the sound could be heard for blocks. Reynolds needed in jumping from the flated machine but the other two men were unable to move.
Rimâne, across Main Street, the car did not start until 4 and gathered on all the automobiles parked on both sides of Elrich Street below Main and piled them in a huge mass of wreckage. Drastic action on the part of city-offers had to be there, before they could make bystanders a new truck, which was threatening to leave the carquadre from bursting. At least seven cars were smashed.

The Ku Klux Klan having been denied the use of the public press in advertising and promoting the organization proceeded to adopt a novel method of calling attention to the movement.

DR. BOWIE CHARGES KU KLUN KLAN IS MENACE TO PEACE OF THE SOUTH.
Denouncing as 'pernicious' the methods and utterances of persons calling themselves offici s of a recently exploited secret order which profess to be a resuscitation of the Ku Klux Klan the Rev. W. Russell Bowie, D. D., rector of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church at last night's service assailed recent propaganda in Richmond as calculated to sow seeds of race animity and inject into present times a spirit of rancor. He charged that an address in the City Auditorium in behalf of the order was 'an appeal to the mob passion and to the spirit of lynch law.' The original Ku-Klux Klan, the recorder said, 'had the relative justification of a terrible emergency, but declared that such organization now was an insult to the forces of orderly government.'
Dr. Bowie said in part:
It has seemed to a number of Christian ministers here in Richmond that there ought to be sounded from Christian pulpits an appeal for the right approach toward the problem of race relationships. One of the evil legacies of the war has been the tendency to turn to violence as the way of settling human controversies. It was not possible that mankind should go through the terrible experience of the world's struggle with all its inattention to hatred, and its release of sad, savage insults, and not suffer from the subtle effects of it for years to come. There is danger in the south that these influences should inhibiter the relationship between the white and colored peoples and that short cuts of lawlessness should take the place of a patient search for Christian co-operation which is the only way by which a solution of any human problem can be found.
CITIES AUDITORIUM SPEECH
In order to make this fact specific is necessary to refer to the recent propaganda in Richmond of the so-called Ku-Klux Klan. A meeting of this organization was recently held in the city Auditorium. As a part of the advertisement for the meeting a dagon, in which were seated a number of masked and sheated figures, a seat through the streets. A doz or more men, masked and clothed to familiar white dress of the Ku-Klax sat on the platform at meeting. These facts are calculated to cause unrests and fear to the negro population and to the seeds of race empathy among morant everywhere. They rouse
of the ugly memories of Reconstruction days, and inject into our present times a spirit of ranoor which we must avoid.
I do not know what all the declared principles of the Ku Klux Klan in the present attempt to resuscitate it may be. Some of them may be sound I have no wish to denounce the whole order nor say any word against well intentioned men who may be in it. But there is a part of its appeal which Christian ministers cannot but recognize as pernicious, and against which a Christian community ought to set its face like flint.

And the ugly fact was that the audience had been worked into a mood by the speaker in which they applauded this sentence.
WARNS OF 'MALICIOUS MEN.'

But to inject into the mind of people today the idea that this sort of secret organization is needed to settle race issues is to level an insult against the forces of orderly government in our communities and to play into the hands of malicious men who can insinuate themselves into the order and cloak themselves behind the white mask of a secret organization.

But equal unmistakable should be the deter-mentation that the Negro as a part of the civilization which involves us all should be assured of justice, a sympathy and a co-operation in his legi-mate desires for improvement which no violence and no secret organization shall endanger. It is plain enough to every one that there exist in the fact of two different races, set aside by side, great elements of difficulty and perplexity. But for all Christian people the absolute conviction rules that for this problem, as for every other, nothing less than the spirit of Christ can be followed. We cannot reach good by civil methods.

LET IT PROVE IT'S AMERICANISM
Before any association, secret or otherwise, is permitted to set itself up as the defender of America from foes real or imaginary it should be required to demonstrate the quality of its own Americanism. Before posing as the champion of 100 per cent Americanism, it should prove by words and deed that it is 100 per cent loyal to the government, to law and to order.
Can the Ku-Klux Klan, a recently formed secret organization, which falsely claims to be a revival, or rath er a constitution, of that famous Klan which in times that were out of joint did a splendid work for the South and then its work done, passed on forever, measure up as that Klan measured up to the 100 per cent American gauge?
Is it American to go about preaching coverly the substitution of lynch law for the orderly procedure of the courts?
Is it American to promote racial rancor and hatreds?
Is it American to arouse religious passions and to set creed against creed?
All these things, and more, on the word and prospectus of the pseudo Klan itself, it is striving to do and the American people when they come fully to understand its aims, will arise in their wrath, denounce it and cast it out from among them.
Several months ago The Times-Dis patch pointed out the falsity of the Klan's claims of honorable, historical origin, and warned against its more or less openly avowed objects. Now the pulpit, as read in the able sermon of Dr. Russell Bowie, rector of St. Pauls Episcopal Church has been arraced to the danger of such insidious, un-American propaganda and is raising its strident voice in warfare.
There is neither room nor' need for this Klan in America. If those things which it professes to intend to do really needed to be done America would depend on its American Legion, the boys who proved their 100 per cent Americanism on the battle fields of France, to do them. It will require no secret meetings, no midnight marauding no solemn vows with horrendous penalties attached, no ghostly shrouds, all at the direction of an Imperial Wizard to make their services quickly available should American institutions be in danger.

Bristol, Va., Dec. 5.—One man was killed and several wounded early today when a mob attacked the jail an unsuccessful attempt to hrdln mfwy k when a mob attacked the jail at Appalachia, Wise County, Va., in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession of a Negro named Williams, accused of having assaulted and robbed Creed Robinett a merchant, near Appalachia according to reports received here.
The sheriff late today was advised of the reported organizing of another mob at Appalachia for a second attack tonight, and as a precaution thirty-five deputies were stationed at the jail.
A mob of approximately 700 men from Appalachia, Va., armed with rifles and supplied with dynamite, was reported preparing tonight to storm the jail, according to a mesa sage received tonight by Deputy Sheriff L. N., Odell in command of a force of deputies guarding the prison.
A telephone message from Norton to Pistol earlier in the night said such information had been given Odell and that the mob was reported forming rapidly in the coal field adjacent to Appalachia and Norton. At midnight Odell said he was expecting an attack momentarily and that a sortie from the jail was planned to prevent the dynamitting of the building. A machine gun has been mounted in the jail and Sheriff Corder declares the officers have been instructed to 'shoot to kill.'
Intense feeling has been aroused in Appalachia over the assault of the aged merchant and the repulse of the mob at the Wise Jail and crowds thronged the streets all day. Reports over long distance telephone from both places declared a determined act tort would be made toright to lynch the Negro and avenge the death of Tate Blondell a chauffeur who was killed when the first volley was fired about 2 o'clock this morning. The officers said Blondell who is alleged to have been the leader of the mob was killed outright while leading a charge on the front door of the Jail. Sheriff Corder declared members of the mob fired first and that their fire was returned by the deputies from the doors and windows. John R. Lewis said to be a member of the mob was probably fatally wounded. He is in the hospital at Norton with three bullet wounds in his chest.
Robinett is not expected to Kve.
It is alleged Williams beat him into insensibility with a blackjack and then robbed him of a diamond ring and $500.

DR. MERIWEATHER'S WILL
Dr. John E. Meriweather, who died recently had executed a will previous to his marriage, in which he bequeathed all of his eptate to his sisters, Mrs. Mary Whittle and Mrs. Nannie J. Wynn. He later married Mrs. Lena Marks Wells, a widow, from whom he endeavored unsuccessfully to secure a divorce. They lived apart. He did not seem to know that marriage revokes a will in this State and he accordingly died intestate with the American Trust Company as Administrator.
Under these conditions, Mrs. Merlweather would have secured all of his personal estate and her dower rights in the estate. It now seems that his debts will absorb all of his personal estate and the widow will secure only her dower rights. The other part of the estate will be divided between Mrs. Mary Whittle, Mrs. Nannie J. Wynn and Mrs. Fernella Crump. The latter has been a resident of Philadelphia, for some time. Attorney J. R. Pollard represented the heirs at law. The gross value of the estate is said to be about $11,000. The not value after the debts are paid has not been stated.
IN MEMORIAM
In sad but loving remembrance of our dear grand son, Peyton Johnson, who departed this life, December 13, 1919.
Called in the bloom, of manhood,
Just in the prime of life,
Away from this world of sorrow,
To the land where all is bright.
Like a lovely flower he faded,
Oh so young to droop and die,
But the Saviour called him
To the beautiful home on high.
Deep is the grave in which $ \mathbf{h}_{0} $ is laid,
Sweet is the memory that will never fade.
Heart of my life is buried deep
Under the sore where our beloved son peacefully sleeps.
By his beloved grand parents,
MR. and MRS. PEYTON JOHNSON

MRS. AMELIA JONES LAID TO REST IN SOUTH RICHMOND.
Mrs. Amelia Jones departed this life "Thursday, December 2, 1920, at 1:40 o'clock P. M. in her residence, 114 East Eighteenth Street, South Richmond. She had been invalid for more than a year, which ordeal showed her strength of Christian fortitude and beauty of character.
The funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist Church, Southside, Sunday, December 5, before an overflow concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends from many sectons. Rev. W. E. Ransome, D. D., the Pastor, conducted the services assisted by Revs. Enos Laughhorne, R. Beecher Taylor and Alfred Britton, Beautiful solos were rendered by Miss Ruth Morris and Dr. Q. W. Moon. Resolutions were read from the Good Famer tans, Daughters of Esther, St. Lukes, Household of Ruth and others.
Rev. Ransome based his ecology on an excerpt from the nineteenth Psalm, using the revised rendering "Go teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom." Although the subject uppermost in the minds of his hearers was death, Dr Ransome d scoured on life, beautifully portraying the life of Sister Jones and at the same time leading his hearers to think on life and count their days. His words had a telling effect, as he quietly, with dynamic force caused many to take inventory of their debt and payment to God.
The beautiful purple plush, silk lined couch, seemed embedded in a beautiful garden of roses as it lay in state during the services. The funeral was directed by Mr. Clarence Cunningham. Pallbearers were as follows: Honorary, Mesdames Mary R. Brown, Jessie Cunningham, Ophelia Cogb II and Nellie Winston: Active, Mesdames Willie Lewis, Squirre Harris, S. W. Johnson, Emmett Botts, Thomas Henderson, Willie Swibeo.
She is survived by her husband, Mr. John H. Jones, three daughters, Mrs. Florence Cogbill, Mrs. Mande H. Lee and Mrs. Robena Jones; three sons, Messrs. John, Charles and Pleyd Hickmion; a brother, Mr. E. D. Nelson; two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Perce and Mrs. Amy Brown, and fourteen grandchildren.
After a I've full of years, and well spend she was laid to rest in the family plot in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The cold ground, where her pale form was with many tears, entombs only her image; her fragrant memory hugers in the hearts of the remnant, and her soul rests with God.

EIGHT AUTOS SMASHED AND TWO MEN INJURED IN TROLLEY CRASH HERE.
Fight automobiles smashed, two men injured and the lives of several others in perd, resulted Monday morning when a First and Vladuct street car jumped the track at Eighth and Main Street and dashed madly down Eighth, sweeping everything from its path. Pedestrians were forced to flee and seek safety in door ways to avoid the danger as the huge steel monster continued down the hill in its wild flight. The accident happened at 8:40 o'clock when the street was filled with people on their way to business. Failure of the brakes to function is said to be the cause of the mishap.
STREET CAR IS WRECKED
The street car was wrecked. The wheels were torn off and it was bltched up on one side, with windows broken and otherwise damaged. The street car which caused the accident started on its mad dash just after leaving Grace Street. The motorman is said to have stopped there and told the passengers that it's brakes were not working properly and asked them to get off and walk down the hill. Most of them did this it is said. Some passengers remained on the car, however, and when the wild rush started and the less wary occupants realzed that death was staring them in the face a panic broke loose. Women in shrieked and men rushed madly toward the doors in their freazied excitement. The motorman of the car, powerless to stop the onrushing steel monster, stood at his post grimly awaiting the fate in store for himself and his human cargo when the final crash should come at the foot of the hill.
At Main Street, another car was just crossing the thoroughfare. The motorman seeing the impending danger, quickly shot the power to the car and moved it up the street, thus saving the passengers on his car from injury and death. A Kline coupe was not so fortunate. This car's owned by A. O. Swink and in it were L. L. Stirrups and Thomas Reynolds. The coupe was struck in the middle by the rushing steel monster and thrown high into the air, landing under the rear trucks of the trolley. So great was the impact between the street car and the automobile that the sound could be heard for blocks. Reynolds succeeded in jumping from the ill-fated machine but the other two men were unable to move.
Running across Main Street, the car did not stop until it had gathered up all the automobiles parked on both sides of Eighth Street below Main and piled them in a huge mass of wreckage. Drastic action on the pars of city officials had to be threatened before they could make standoffs cause smoking, which was threatening to ignite loose gasoline from bursted tanks. At least seven autos were smashed.

Saving is a habit that should be
practiced by everybody.
Be polite to white folks, colored people and it will make you polite to colored folks.
You cannot pull yourself up by your own boot-straps, although you may spend a lifetime in so doing.
A good white friend is a valuable asset, just as a good colored friend is a prize, worthy of possession by anybody.
We shall all meet in Heaven bye and bye, but there are some of us that will not want to meet some others in that great and happy land.
The people, who are foremost on getting married are not hindmost in seeking a divorce after they are married.
Being insulting is as sure of injurious results as is the throwing down of cobble stones in the road over which you must soon travel. Both will tend to make you stumble and fall down.
---
Sheriff L. N. Odell of Wise County is all right and he will be enthusiastically supported by all of the lovers of law and order. The colored man who attacked and robbed Creed Robnett, a white man had been captured and he was in the hands not of black men, but of white ones. The jury that will try him will be composed of white men. The judge, who will preside is a white man and there is every reason to believe that he will be speedily brought before a legal tribunal for trial
In repelling the attacks, the officers of Wise County were primarily upholding the law. They had no love for the man charged with the crime. They were discharging their sworn duty and in the killing of the leader of the mob, it was a logical result of an unlawful action. So far as the better class of colored people are concerned, they have no sympathy for the law-breaking members of their race than the officers of the law in Wise County had for the law-breaking members of the white race.
If the colored man, Williams is guilty, let him have a fair trial and be accorded a fair punishment, strictly, in accordance with the normality of the offense committed. Colored folks as a rule are more morristies in their dealing with their own people than are many of these white people. It may be that a complete understanding between the better class of white people and the better class of colored people will prevail, to the end that white men, who outrage colored people will be meted the same punishment that colored people are meted that outrage white people and that colored people who attack and outrage each other may be accorded the same punishment that is accorded white people who attack and outrage each other.
AGAINST THE KLAN
The crusade against the Ku Klux Klan has just begun, so far as the white people of this community are concerned. It is now in order for the colored ministers to take up the slogan and by their conservative utterances and positive assertion to allay the feeling of unrest that has been aroused by these unnatural dis
plays by certain elements among the white people, who in their thoughtlessness have done so much to injure one of the humbleest and most loyal races of people upon the face of the globe. It is all very well to arrange for the killing of lawless men garbed in the robes of a mystic order but the slaughter of colored folks will follow the killing of white ones.
On both sides, the innocent will suffer with the guilty and then will come the flight of the colored people from this section of the country to other localities, in order to seek a resting place from the fiery ordeals through which they may have recently passed. It was with this idea in view that the white ministers of this city delivered their phillipics against this secret organization. The Richmond Times Dipatch one of the most influential journals in the South-land, in its issue of the 7th inst., met the issue squarely.
When it asked, 'Is it American to go about preaching covertly the substitution of lynch-law for the orderly procedure of the courts? Is it American to promote racial rancor and hatreds?' the questions carried their own answers. In the light of these utterances and happenings, it behooves all law-abiding colored citizens, regardless of sex to co-operate with these leaders amongst the white people and to do what we can to control the dissolute, lawless crimes in our midst. Many of our own people are as dangerous to our own welfare and safety as are mad dogs or infliction diseases. By a co-operative effort along the lines marked out and emphasized by these press and ministerial leaders, a mutual understanding will follow and all will work valiantly together for the triumph of those ideals which will make our beloved South-land one of the brightest and safest spots on the globe.
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON'S DELIVERANCES.
President Woodrow Wilson delivered to the Congress Tuesday, December 7, 1920 his last message. He did not appear in person as had been his custom. Some of the statements made by him in a broad sense apply with particular force to the present day conditions of the colored people in this country. His preliminary remarks were in the nature of a lecture and enunciated great principles, which will be of particular interest to a large proportion of the Ameri can electorate in general and to the colored people of this country in particular. How else are we to regard the following?
When I address myself to perform the duty laid upon the President by the Constitution to present to you an annual report of the state of the Union, I found myself dominated by an immortal sentence of Abraham Lincoln's. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it"—a sentence immoral because it embodies in a form of utter simplicity and purity the essential state of the nation, the faith in which it was conceived and the faith in which it has grown to glory and power. With that faith and the birth of a nation founded upon it came the hope into the world that a new order would prevail throughout the affairs of mankind, an order in which reason and right would take precedence of covetousness and force and I believe that I express the wish and purpose of every thoughtful American when I say that this sentence marks for us in the plainest manner the part we should play alike in the arrangements of our domestic affairs and in our exercise of influence up on the affairs of the world.
Fancy a southern Democrat, now living in a northern clime quoting from the words and utterances of the great emancipator. Times have changed and the people with it. And again:
By this faith and by this faith where on the world he lifted out of its present confusion and despair. It was this faith which availed over the wicked force of Germany. You will remember that the beginning of the end of the war came when the German people found themselves face to face with the conscience of the world and realized that right was everywhere arrayed against the wrong that their government was attempting to perpetuate. I think, therefore that it is true to say that this was the faith which won the war. Certainly this is the faith with which our galant men went into the field and out upon the seas to make sure of victory.
This is 'mighty good' reading, but what about his definition of democracy? Here it is:
This is the mission now which democracy come into the world. Democracy is an assertion of the right of the individual to live and to be treated justly as against any attempt on part of any combination of individuals to make laws which will overarch him or which will destroy his equality among his fellows in the matter of right or privilege and I think we all realize that the day has come when democracy is being put upon its final test. The old world is just now suffering from a wanton rejection of the principle of democracy and a substitution of the principle of auto-
THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
cracy as asserted in the name, but without the authority and sanction of the multitude. This is the time of all others when democracy should prove its purity and its spiritual power to prevail. It is surely the manliest destiny of the United States to lead in the attempt to make this spirit prevail.
How can this definition of democracy be made to apply to the 'present day' democracy in this and in other southern States? How can it be made to apply to 'present day' Lily Whitism' as enunciated by some of the Republican leaders in this State? President Wilson's definition of democracy applies in its broader sense to Republicanism. In its virgin state both are one and the same with minor distinguishing signs. Does the democracy which President Woodrow Wilson fathers and of which organization, he is the recognized head assert and practice the right of the in individual (the black man) to live and to be treated justly as against any attempt on the part of any combination of individuals to make laws which will over-burden him or which will destroy his equality among his followers in the matter of right and privilege? But perhaps the distinguished occupant of the White House did not have the citizen of color in his own mind when he was roaming in the field of letters and enunciating great principles that are as eternal as the hills and as luminous as the stars.
But he brings the subject to Mother Earth and carries it home when he says further:
There are two ways in which the United States can assist to accomplish this great object: First: by offering the example within her own borders of the will and power of democracy to make and enforce laws which are equal in their administration—haws which secure its full right to labor and yet at the same time safeguard the integrity of property, and particularly of that property which is devoted to the development of industry and the increase of the necessary wealth of the world. Second: by standing for right and justice as towards individual nations. The law of democracy is for the protection of the weak; and the influence of every democracy in the world should be for the protection of the weak nation the nation which is struggling toward its right and towards its proper recognition and privilege in the family of nations. The United States cannot refuse this role of champion without putting the stigma of relation upon the great and devoted men who brought its government into existence and established it in the face of almost universal injustice and truque, even in the face of wanton force, as, for example against the orders in council. Great Britain and the arbitrary Napoleonic decrees which involved us in what we know as the war of 1812. I urge you to consider that the display of an immature disposition on the part of the Congress to remedy any injustices of civils that may have shown themselves in our national life will afford the most effectual offset to the forces of chaos and tyranny which are playing so disastrous a part in the fortunes of the free peoples of more than one part of the world. The United States is of necessity the sample democracy of the world and the triumph of democracy depends upon its success.
This language would impress us with the fact that he had the rights of labor and the privileges of capital in mind when he gave utterance to the thought. Nevertheless, the application is forceful and applies to the condition of the colored people in this country. Oh, that the time may come when the blind shall be made to see, and the lame to walk and the inequalities in this governmental system of ours may be smoothed out to the extent that all Americans in this country, irrespective of race, color or condition, politics or religion may be accorded full and equal justice under the law and that peace, harmony and universal good-will may be in evidence here forevermore.

Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy is informed through the articles in the press of the attempted revival of the Ku Klux Klan. This organized on went out of existence when the cause for which they worked was realized, and Virginia, then called District No. 1, came again into her glorious own, and the 'scalawags' and the carpet baggers' of the North were sent back to the North.
'When the Freedman's Bureau was organized, the North said the bureau was necessary to protect the Negro. The South resisted with the Ku Klux Klan to protect the white women. Mrs. T. A. Rose, one time historian-general' of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, has written a book on this subject and is an accepted authority on the secret organization. It should be in all the schools of the South.
"Therefore it is resolved: That the Rechmond chapter protests against any organization adopting and using the name 'Ku Kux Kau'. It was a name and an order worthy of such an General Nadien B. Forrest, chief of the klan and among its members were the very bravest and no noblest of Southern heroes. It is also resolved, that we petition our State government to prohibit the use of this name, made sacred by the men who boo' it in years gone by." (Richmond va. Times Republ.)

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruinured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of care was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost me, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 1010-G Marcellus Avenue, Maunsquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured—you may save a life or at least stop the misery of ruptures and the worry and danger of an operation.
RHEUMATISM
A REMARKABLE HOME TREATMENT GIVEN BY ONE WHO HAD IT.
In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-acute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years, I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and it has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted and even bedridden with rheumatism, some of them 70 to 80 years old, and results were the same as in my own case.
I want every sufferer from such forms of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous healing power. Don't end a candle; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long locked for means of getting rid of your rheumaticism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Is that far? Why suffer any anger when relief is thus offered you free. Don't delay. Write today.

and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calendar today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It is harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.

RACE PREJUDICE IS SHOWN THE AMERICAN DELEGATES IN PARIS.
Mrs. Mary B. Talbert and Dr. Mary Waring, Returning from International Council at Christiana, Norway, Denied Accommodation. (By E. E. Fitzgerald.)
"The Advocate" reports that Mrs. Mary B. Tubot and Dr. Mary Waring of the United States delegates to the International Council of Women, held at Christiania, Norway had occasion to stop in Paris, France on their return and when they applied for accommodation at the American Women's Club which is being operated under the Y. W. C. A. they wore snubbed and refused. Here the door was closed in their faces and they were told that there was room for other members of the American party but it would not be possible to entertain colored people. Mrs. Radcliffe, a white member of the party inquired as to why. She was told that it was against the rules of the house.
Dr. Waring and Mrs. Talbot are expected in America very soon and it ought to be interesting to officials and members of both the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. as well as the public in general to hear the story told by these two Race women who have recently experienced American prejudice abroad; for what was and is true of the American Women's Club under the management of American women of the Y. W. C. A. in Paris, France, is generally true of American women and men in charge of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. work throughout the United States as rogards Negroes.
There are many colored churches which maintain themselves and are selfdirecting; and there seems to be little or no excuse for our people not organizing and conducting institutions of their own for Christian helpfulness. It may be well and excellent that the young, progressoe cement among colored people look into the matter of self-determination for the Race in Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. work in the Nation as the rank and file of Negroes are be coming dissatisfied with the hypothetical serenity, the imperial and autocratic airs of the whites who control and mistrust the women of the Race as well as the men and still expect Negroes to grim and endure.
In suit I insult whether offered by authorities and rulers of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. work or by the rabbid, denigagues of Dixie, and the cold comfort this institution offers Negroes produces a bleak and barren outlook for colored members and workers in this connection for the future.
This evil has been met and solved by the American Jew for his suit of people. The Hebrew found it necessary in order that they might have fair play, Christina treatment to or organize and bring into being the Y. M. H. A. (Young Men's Hebrew Association.) They deserve to be commended for this stand, and colored men and women in all probability will have to take similar steps before their work will become of the largest service to the Race.

Richmond, Va., November. —A motherless or fatherless child is an object of sympathetic consideration always. Purposes, as well as hearts are equally open to an appeal for the orphan whether at home or in war, swept Europe, but do plans for preventing orphans command anything like as ready response? It would seem not. Tuberculosis is a preventable disease and year over 200,000 children in the United States are left orphans every year on account of tuberculosis, according to figures recently published by the National Tuberculosis Association.
In arriving at this figure the Association computes that there are at least 150,000 deaths from tuberculosis is in the United States every year. On the basis of figures provided by the United States Bureau of the Census, it is estimated that of the 150,000 not less than 75,000 are married. The average age at death of the 150,000 is 33 years. The average number of children in American families are 2.8 on the basis of these figures the Association estimates that the number of orphans as a result of deaths from tuberculosis would be well over 200,000 every year.
The problem of providing care for these orphans, practically all of whom are already infected with tuberculosis and of raising them to be healthy and self-respecting citizens is one of the utmost importance, says the Association Bulletin.
The Association points out that the additional drain upon society caused by 200,000 orphans who are brought to this condition by a preventable disease costs hundreds of millions of dollars, most of which could be saved by proper community organization.
The Virginia Tuberculosis Association is organizing this community effort in Virginia. Its support is delivered from the sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals to be held from November 25th to December 31st.

KEROSENE LAMP FIRES HOUSE;
NINE ARE DEAD.
Quebec, Nov. 22—Fire, which caused the death of nine persons, in a Padeuo farmhouse last night was caused by the explosion of a kero sone lamp which was being filled. Reports of the tragedy received here today said the flames spread rapidly after the explosion, cutting off access to the only outside door and forcing the occupants to flee to an upstairs floor, where they were unable to open windows and escape.

WHOLE FAMILY FIGHTS EAGLE
TO SAVE BOY FROM BIRD.
---
Glendo, Wyo., Nov. 22—It took the combined efforts of the Spaulding family today to save 8 year old Walter Spaulding from being carried away by a giant eagle at their ranch near here.
When the huge bird attacked Walter in the ranch yard, he grasped it by the neck and screamed for help. John, his 7 year old brother, came to the rescue and a third boy ran for help. Mrs. Spaulding beat off the bird with a stick and the eagle attacked her. She was saved when Mr. Spaulding came with a shotgun and dispatched the bird. It had a spread of 8 feet.
The two boys were severely injured by the eagle's claws.

Grateful Father Writes L. J. Hayden of Remarkable Cure—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results.
Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dorsal trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another, her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies.
After using his medleines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued

Dear Sir,—This is to
cortify that I have su-
fied with cancer on the
face for 17 years, and
have tried hundreds of
remedies, without any
relief whatever. Finally
I heard of I. J. Haydon's
Cancer Plaster and only
tried one plaster, and
can safely say that I am
perfectly cured of cancer
which covered the right
side of my face, includ-
ing the ear. Respectfully

DO YOU LOVE HEALTH ?
"I was cured of very bad case of rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot and after I had tak en three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles o. me medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of rheumatism and indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I re- emmend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth.
Respectfully,
J. D. TAYLOR,

L. J. Hayden:
I wish to add to your testimonial that your medicine has cared me of lumbago with the use of six bottles. I have suffered for three years and my family doctor told me that he could not do me any good. I began taking your medicine November 15, 1903 and I have not lost a day's work since with lumbago. I can't praise your medicine too highly.
Yours truly,

We had very excellent services on last Sunday at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. Rev. Cobbs preached in the morning service from the subject, "The Reut Veil." He seemed to be filled with the Spirit of God and every one present enjoyed the religious atmosphere that flowed through the Church during the services. After the usual invitation was extended to non members to seek a shelter in the Church of God, the choir sang very beautifully under the leader Deacon Nathaniel Yates.
Our Communion was held at 3:30 P. M. and a large gathering seemed to have enjoyed themselves in the God of their salvation. We had with us many of our good friends from the Second Baptist and other Churches. Rev. Harry Jones of New York and Rev. Martin worshipped with us.
Rev. A. D. Clarke preached at City Point last Sunday. Brother C. B. Jefferson preached at the Union Level Baptist Church last Wednesday night. Rev. C. A. Cobbs preached at the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church on last Wednesday.
We expect to have a great time at Calvary tomorrow. Come early and get a seat. We thank the leaders of the various clubs, members and friends for their liberal contributions in the rally. Much credit is given the Trustee and Deacon Board for their business like way in handling the affairs of the Church, also the Pastor and his madam.
Brother Jefferson takes great pleasure in thankking Rev. Cobbs for allowing him to conduct the devotional services on Sunday mornings. He feels that some day in the future such great privilege will make its reaction for the Glory of God and His Cause. Some of the sick are Sir Joseph Henderson, Sir Charles Clarke, Sister Little Hill and Sister Willie Anne Jones, who is now at the Virginia Hospital.
Mr. Robert Conaway, of Bird in Hand is indisposed.
Misses Laura Nelson and Olivia Wooldridge were the guest of Mrs. Thompson, of Montgomery, W. Va., week before last. Mr. W. G. Whiting formerly of Richmond, but now of West Virginia, called in to pay his respect to them.
UNION LEVEL.
The services at Union Level Baptist Church last Sunday were conducted by their Pastor, Rev. C. T. Martin, who has been and is doing good work for Union Level.
The Sunday School Union held its meeting here at 3:30. A unique program was rendered and the people really enjoyed the services and especially the truths they gleaned from the response of Brother J. L. Ballard, the vice president of the Union. Rev. Alexander Hardgrove, a licensed Minister of the Church, preached an excellent sermon Sunday night, using as his subject, "thinking On Christ." Invocation was offered by the Pastor, hymn lined by Rev. W. L. Tuck, Scriptures were read by Brother C. B. Jefferson and prayer by Rev. Philip Terry.
RISING MT, ZION.
Rev. William White, of Ithaca, N. Y., preached two soul stirring sermons which were very plain and pointed. His hearers were delighted. His morning subject was, "Brand From the Fire," Jeremiah 3:1:2. His subject at night was, "Devil in the Inward Man," Ephesians 3:1:6. He is one among the best pulpit orators and is clear and forceful.
Next Sunday, Rev. J. H. Brown, our own son, will have charge of the pulit, Communion at 3:30.

VIRGINIA NO STATE FOR MOB
Virginia has no place for mob vengeance. It will not brook, however, provocative the cause, interference by mob law with the orderly course of its judicial procedure, which in scores of cases, has proved itself just and swift. That there is a vigorous determination to uphold the majesty of the law is known now to the members of that Appalachian mob which stormed the Wise County jail and sought to rob the law of its rights to punish crime.

by substituting public lawlessness and executing summary vengeance on a Negro accused of brutal assault on an aged white man.
To uphold the law against the attackers of the Wise jail meant blood shed, but regrettable as wak, they know that they were taking the law into their own hands when they advanced to the attacks and the public generally will commend the action of the defending guards who fired into them for the protection of their prisoner. It also commends the prompt action of Governor Davis in dispatching companies of the National Guard to the cene to prevent a recurrence of the mob out rage. With the soldiers on guard and the mob spirit disstipated, it may be expected that there will be no further trouble, and the law will be permitted to determine the facts and mete out proper justice. But the Wise County incident should not and unquestionably will not be permitted to close there. For the maintenance of order and to prevent such outbreaks in the future the long arm of the law should reach out and punish the instigators and leaders of those who defied it, for in their defiance of the law they made themselves equally guilty with the wretch whose life they sought.
Virginia in the last score of years has been particularly free from mob violence. Only once in that time has the law been cheated of its dues, and the State with this lofty record will not permit its name to be made a by word for lax justice and its fame to be dragged in the mire before those criers who overtook no opportunity to paint the finger of corn at the South.
