THREATENS TO LICK EVERYONE IN COURT ROOM AT TRIAL. Editor John Mitchell, Jr. S is since it is generally thought that race equality and social equality are identical in character, I am asking space in the Planet for correction of this impression. Race equality is not social equality. Yet we are continually confronted with the idea as if they were one and the same, when the fact is they are as different as black is from white. A DISTINCTION WITH A DIPFERENCE Race equality deals with inmate, inherent qualities, but, social equality deals with social life only, and has no relationship whatever to race, but a body associated together for business purposes, for instance, a state city or town. Our own city of Baltimore is a aplendid example of social equality. All the people here, mingle together in one associate body, but in no sense does this set forth race equality, for it has already been shown that race equality deals with the stuff out of which races are made. The Apostle Paul in the 17th chapter of Acts says: "And God hath made of one blood all nations of men." THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS Now, since the Scripture says God made all nations, and so all races, and that He made them all out of the blood of one man (and that man was Adam.) how, then can one race be superior to the other? For that is saying a thing can be superior to itself which is a scientific and ethological impossibility. Can you tell me what it is that makes the white man think and feel that he and his race are superior to others in racial qualities, when according to the Scriptures I just quoted, God made all of one blood? The Apostle Paul is rebuking the fooling Greeks, who thought the same thing, but they had some kind of a logical claim for their belief, for they believed that they were the offspring of Ion, who was the son of the god Mars. But the white races of today have no such claim for their overdrawn race vanity. THE KIND OF SEPARATION WANTED Yes, we have by divine creation racial equality, and we have for business and economical purposes equal association, but not personal individual intercourse, nor do we, as a colored race, ask or want that. Indeed we look and long for the day when we shall have power to make the white man keep his personal self to himself more and more. Respectfully, (REV.) HARVEY JOHNSON. 1923 Druid Hill Ave. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 5, 1921. THE TUBERCULOS ASSOCIATION --- Richmond, Va., Jan.—It was announced today at the office of the Virginia Tuerculosis's Association that, while the returns are beginning to come in from the sale of Christmas Seals, it is impossible to estimate what funds the Association will have for its work during the coming year. It was stated that as a result of the sale of the seals, great interest has been manifested in the work in every part of the State. Numbers of cases of tuberculosis have been covered in remote rural districts which would not otherwise have been disclosed as persons who were asked to buy Christmas seals responded to the appeal, stating that they are interested in the work because of tuberculosis in their families. In such cases a personal letter has been written, advising examination by a doctor, and literature has been sent out lining in detail home treatment for those who cannot go to a sanatorium and the protection of the members of the family who come in contact with the invalid. It is hoped that the funds realized from the Seal sale will enable the Association to carry out its program for free clinics throughout the State for it has been demonstrated where those clinics have been held that the people are eager for the examination and hundreds of cases of tuberculosis have been found and treatment advised by the expert making the examination. A large number of counties have requested free clinics, and will receive them as rapidly as it is possible for the Association to have them held. Mr. U. W. Cox of Washington Park who has been certified to his home on account of illness, is able to be out again. ORDER PROBE IN KILLING OF OFFICER BY JAP SENTRY. Washington Jan. 12.—Intention of the American government to make a careful investigation of the fatal shooting by a Japanese seurty yesday at Vladivostok of Lieutenant W. H. Langdon, of Jamaica Plains, near Boston, Mass., chief engineer of the American cruiser Albany, was evidenced in action taken tonight by two departments of the government. The State Department upon being informed of the bare details of the shooting of Lieutenant Langdon in a report from Consul MacGowan at Vladivostok, directed the consul to forward a more complete report. The Navy Department received two reviews of the shooting from Admiral Albert Gleaves, commander in chief of the Asiatic fleet, who said he planned to leave at noon today ahead the destroyer Elliott for Shanah, where he will board the cruiser New Orleans and proceed to Vladivostok to make an investigation. Dispatches to both departments emphasized that Japanese officials at the Russian port were shown every evidence of regret over the shooting. Consul MacGowan reported that the Japanese Consul-General had called upon him and expressed his "profound regret." Admiral Gleaves in his dispatches said the Japanese officials were much concerned and had made frequent calls offering every assistance within their power. The State Department announced its receipt of the report from Consul MacGowan in the following statement: "The shooting of Lleutenant W. H. Langdon an engineer officer of the American舰艇 Albany at Vladivostok by a Japanese centre on January 11 was reported to the Department on State today. The telegram, which was from American Consul MacGowan, at Vladivostok reported that the Japanese consul-general at Vladivostok had called on him to express his profound regret." Adult Gleaves, in his first report received at the Navy Department late in the day, give preliminary details as to the shooting of Lleutenant Langdon. He reported that the Lleutenant was returning to his ship and was in front of Japanese division headquarters near the Archon Peter, The Great Square when he was shot his death occurred a few hours later. FAMILY OF FOUR MULTILATED BY UNKNOWN FIEND WITH AXE. Louisianaans Dying As Result o Muderous Assault as They Sleep. De Ridder, La. Jan. 12.—Surgonees tonight despaired of saving the life of John Orlander, latest victim with his wife and two children, of a man who, the authorities believe is the same that seven years ago caimed forty-five persons as his victims in a trail of terror that reached from La Fayette to Houston, Texas. Besides, Orlander, his wife, his daughter, Josephine aged 6 and Paul S. 8 year old son, are victims of the supposedly madman's bloody assault with an ax. The tragedy was discovered early today by a child who sought entrance to the little grocery store of which Orlander was proprietor to make some small purchase. Finding the door closed, the little girl went to the side entrance leading to the shopping quarters of the family. Strickling for help she aroused the neighbors. Lying across their beds, clad in their night clothes, the man, the 50 woman, and children were found Walls, bed clothing and floor were spattered with blood, while a broken latch on the window showed how an entrance had been galanced. Moans were issuing from the lips of the woman. She was conscious de spite her terrible injuries but with her jaw split, was unable to talk. Her husband hay beside her, the top of his skull broken. The children were unconscious, suffering from great gashes in arms, legs and shoulders. Although another Italian merchant is held on suspicion, Sheriff Brazier and his deputies are tonight searching for a Negro with whom Orlander is said to have had trouble.

C., brought forth the fastest basketball team seen here for years. The "Seasiders" were in great form and the visitors found things very interesting for there. The Seasiders started the game by putting a fivepoint lead, Ear, in the game the score began to seeaw and everyone had his share of excitement. McLaren and Bradley were in excellent form and were always on time to send a bit of thrill along the veins of the "Seaside" well work. At the Washingtonian's Bottle and Trimmer were the stars. The visitors were one point in the lead with one minute to play, when Bradley came up with a perfect shot and put the Hampton boys in lead. Before the storm of cheers could die away, Turner turned the trick by putting in one for the visitors on the last tick of the watch. The play was very sensational. The game ended with Carlisle one point in the lead. Hampton—27 —McLaren, L. F., Long, R. F.; Bradley, Capt., C.; Jones L. G. Gunn, R. G. Carlisle—28 —Barbour, Capt, L. F., Gilmore, R. F.; Turner, C.; Taylor, Robinson, R. G. --- HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN (By Charles H. Williams.) Hampton, Va. January—Hampton won the second game of the intercollegiate series by defeating Lincoln 39 to 16 before a large, enthusiastic crowd of basket ball fans. It was evident after the first few moments of play that Hampton had the better team. The feature of the game was the passing and shooting of the Hampon five. Time after time the spectators were brought to their feet by Hampton's team work which completely baffled the Lineolites. The college atmosphere was evident as the rooters of both teams cheered their favorites. Although outplayed in every department of the game the Lineolites team caught gamely until the end. Wheatland was easily their star. His playing revealed his last season's form, but he was helpless against the Hampton machine. Every Hampton man played his part well. The Lineolites came to Hampton confident of winning and with a special request from their alumni to bring a victory from Hampton. This they tried hard to do, but had to content themselves to wait another season. The second Lineolite-Hampton game will be played in Baltimore on Friday February 18. The line up was as follows: Hampton 39—McKaren R. F.; Long, L. F.; Bradley (Capt.) C.; Jones R. G.; Gunn L. G. Lincoln 16—Skinner R. F.; Homer L. F.; Wheatland C.; Boozer R. G.; Franklin L. G. Subsidates: Lincoln—Goldwere; Hampton—Saunders; Williams and Watley. Referee: L. C. H. Schabacker. Score: Hampton 39; Lincoln 16. --- UNUSUAL TROUHE TO A NEXGRO MAMMY. (Washington Post.) In the haloween days of the past when James G. Blaine, "The Man From Maine," was in Washington as Secretary of State and a candidate for the Presidency who nearly captured the glittering prize, he lived in a stately red brick residence at Twentieth street and Massachusetts avenue northwest. A brilliant entertainer, the house was the center of social gayety, and many servants were employed by the statesman. The favorite, however, was an old Negro mammy, picturesque in her red bandanna handkerchief neat print dress, beloved of the Blaine children and the autocrat of the household. After a while mammy died, and the great-hearted Blaine, as a tribute to her memory, had a stained glass window put in the hall of his residence faithfully reproducing the features the familiar red bandanna handkerchief and the genial outlines of the good old colored woman who had served them all so devotedly. Today after service as an officer's club during the war the historic residence is once more tenantless. But any passerby can see the outlines of the mammy window from the street and the megaphone men on the sightseeing cars repeat the story of Blaine's touching tribute to his old mammy to thousands of tourists who pass the house.

FALLEN PLANE IS RAISED FROM THE MISSISSIPPI. Bodies of Captain Simpson and Mechanician Fisher, Yet Unfound by Searching Parties. Tiptonville, Tenn., Jan. 12.—The hydroplane which fell into the Mississippi River hero late Sunday was located late today and was raised from the bottom of the river at a point near where it was seen to fall. No trace of the bodies of Captain George H. Simpson, Toronto, Canada, former British flying officer and his mechanician Carl Fisher, Dayton Ohio, were found when the plane was raised. Searching parachutes will continue to drag the river in the effort to find the bodies of the missing aviators. Captain Simpson's overcoat, with the new torn out and other articles of clothing were found in the wreckage of the plane. The plane was raised by the steamboat Metropolis, of Caruthersville, Mo., and a number of gasoline boats. The wreck was towed to a point near Tiptonville, and will probably be sent back to the Dayton-Wright aeroplane factory for repairs. Nothing was found in the wreck to indicate the cause of the accident. Large Attendance at the Sharon Baptist Church.

Richmond's census figures relating to the division of the races are enlightening only as to the proportion of whites and Negroes, and the percentage of increase of each race during the last ten years. The figures show that the city has 117,505 whites, an increase from 63.4 to 68.5 per cent, while there are 54,047 Negroes, a decrease in their percentage from 36.6 to 31.5. Allowing six persons to a family, the figures mean that there are approximately 9,000 Negro families in Richmond. Of these families it would be interesting to know how many reside in sanitary houses, how many are crowded together in miserable shacks with no modern conveniences, how many go forth each day to work among families where they things are pertinent as well for the good of Richmond as for its colored citizens. With a population almost one third colored, it may be doubted if Richmond has done or is doing what it should for the Negroes. Hundreds of families occupy modern houses and are comfortably and healthfully situated, but their good fortune has come about through their own industry and thrift. Other hundreds, may, thousands live in Jackson Ward and other colored residential districts in other dilapidated houses where even the most ordinary rules of sanitation are not observed, and in many cases cannot be because of the city's neglect. By these things the city's health is on dangered and the quicker the city remedies such conditions the better it will be for the people generally. To the Negroes themselves it is a matter of elementary justice. With a population of 54,947 colored people it might seem to people un acquainted with local conditions that Richmond would have a race problem, but such a problem is lacking here except in its simplest essentials, which are recognized and accepted by the members of both races. Here the races live in complete accord, the colored people are as a rule findus trions, honest and thrifty, troubles which believel other cities are not present here and such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan are absurdities resented by both races. With such happy conditions prevailing, with both races in mutual accord and re spect, Richmond cannot afford to neg lect its colored citizens. It must see that they are well housed, that all modern sanitation needs are cared for and that everything possible be done in order that they may remain a happy, contented and a healthful people.

Dear Sir—We note with pleasure your editorial of the 8th instant, entitled "Denying the "Truth." The Board comprehension of conditions, the understanding of the view point of both races, and the honest terms of the best elements of both here to cooperate, as expressed in the article are most gratifying and will be productive of good. Very truly yours, VA. ASSOCIATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD, W. T. DABNEY, Secretary. PRICES MUST COME DOWN The inevitable liquidation of war conditions through which the nation will pass to a peace basis necessitates some suffering. That is unavoidable. We are now in the midst of that process. War levels must come down. Prices are too high. We have waited for two years. Finally, the buying public has struck. Together with the European situation, goods are left without buyers, business is slowing down, unemployment is increasing, and prices must come down, even though they fall below cost. This is the law and it cannot be averted. Congress is besieged to fix prices or to en act politiative legislation, all of which is unwise because uneconomie. We can not pass laws to reduce the price to the consumer and increase it to the producer. The truth is that the producer of some goods is the consumer of other goods. This liquidation must come. The sooner it comes the sooner it will be over. As we see it the future is bright. Our peoples hold a wonderful position. We have neither famine nor infiltrate. On the other hand we have a record crop from the field of agriculture. We have taken steps which have usured us of a successful transportation system. The steel industry will be taxed to its capacity to meet the needs of construction of railroad equipment. The European situation will be settled by our bringing about peace with Germany, which will open her market to us. German's indemnity will be definitely fixed by the Allies, which must be done before Germany will place the empire in a working condition. Europe will take our aurious. Good times will come with the protective tariff economy by Congress." PRICE, FIVE CENTS THREATENS TO LICK EVERYONE IN COURT ROOM AT TRIAL. --- Redding, self-styled "Prince of Abyssinia," who, with seven other colored men, is on trial charged with murder in connection with the deaths of Ralph Ross, a sailor, and Joel Hoyt a cigar store owner, during a disturbance in the Southside last fall halted his trial several times today with out breaks of temper during which he repeatedly threatened to "kick any one in the room." Once Redding jumped from his chair and hit a bailiff in the jaw, knocking him down. Another time he took several small boxes of matches and hurried them at different persons in the room and he frequently chased spectators and court officials to "come up and fight it out." At one time bailiffs drew their revolvers to contain order. Other defendants testified that Redding posed as the "Prince of Johovah" in making promises to take hundreds of Negroes back to Abyssinia and that he promised them great wealth and power. If they would follow him, James Briggs one of the defendants testified that Redding told him a $19,000 trai was to be chartered to tour the South and collect Negroes for the pitgimage back to Abyssinia. When Briggs protested that such a thing was impossible he said, Redding told him he had "brushed President Wilson with $600,000 and two very tusks to a allow the tour." The testimony of several police ers who arrested some of the decem dante closed the State's testimony to day.

GIRL IS CONVICTED IN WILSON'S DEATH Clara Johnson Found Gulley of Mau shaughter MAY REQUEST NEW TRIAK Chara Johnson, 18, year old Negro girl, was found guilty of manslaughter yesterday by a jury before Justice Gould, in connection with the claying of Detective Sergeant Harry Wilson on July 21, 1919 during the race riots in the Capital. Upon motion of District Attorney Laskey the court dropped the charge of first-degree murder, which the grand jury had returned against William Johnson, father of the girl. Counsel for the defense were not allowed to use this fact, however to oppose the charge of the government that the girl shot the detective. WAS TRIED ON MURDER CHARGE The girl was tried on a charge of first degree murder. The jurors promised on the manslaughter verdict. The girl was calm when the foreman of the jury announced the verdict, but later broke down and wept. She was led from the courtroom by a matron. The trial began Monday in Crimin Court No. 1, but there was difficulty in obtaining a jury, and the taking of testimony was not begun until Tuesday afternoon. The prosecution conducted by Assistant District Attorneys Cromelin and Van Doren, charged that Detective Wilson was killed as he was entering the Johnson home in search of persons who had fired into the street. After an exchange of shots the detective fell, mortally wounded and William Johnson and his daughter were discovered by other officers hiding under a bed. It was testified that an empty cartridge was found in a revoiver in their home. TO ASK NEW TRIAL. The governor's difficulty was to prove which if any, of the defendants fired the shot that killed detective Wilson. Attorneys B. L. Gaskins and T. M. Watson who defended Claire Johnson contended it was not possible to prove what shot struck the officer. Counsel for the defense gave notice of their intention to ask for a new trial.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES per Year ..... $ 2.00 44 Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .00 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY... JANUARY 22, 1921 DR. DU BOIS AND MR GAREVEX. With apologies for the familiarity of our expression, we beg leave to state that we are "returning to our mutton." Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols in the January number of the New York Crisis, in his professed manifestation of fatness; and the concession of many excellent ideas in the plans advocated by Marcus Garvey is all the more vitilious in his criticisms and ushering in his castigation. His references to the unseaworthy condition of the Yarmouth are to say the least unfortunate. Northern white men have from time immemorial unloaded upon the unsuspecting blacks, property that they did not want and at fabulous prices. But there is one thing about the Yarmouth, it is still afloat and it is still manned and offered by black men. How can this vessel be built at a high cost, if Dr. Du Bola continues to undermine the confidence of the people and succeeds in stopping the flow of money to the promoters, who at present are the only ones in a position to continue it on its mission? But the very able man of letters continues his onalaught. This is what he says: The cases of the Kanawha (or Autonio Macao) and the Shadyside are puzzling. Neither of these boats is registered as belonging to the Black Star Line at all. The former is recorded as belonging to C. L. Dixon and the latter to the North and East River Steamboat Company. Doo the Black Star Line really own these boats or is it buying them by installments, or only leasing them? We do not know the facts and have been unable to find out. Under the circumstances they look like dubious "assets." Is this a charitable view to take of the matter? H-Dr. Du Roi does not know as he admits, why should he presume the worst? Is it a charitable attitude for him to take with references to the status of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Would he be in a mood to furnish Marcus Garvey information concerning any of his enterprises were he to be advised in advance that this same Garvey occupied the position of an implacable enemy? Would he not tell him to get out and stay out, that it was none of his business and that he was responsible to the people, who elected him and to the Government that permitted him to do business? The majority of the Black Star stock its apparently owned by the Unit versal Negro Improvement Association. There is no reason why this association if it will and can, should not continue to pour money into its corporation. Let us therefore consid or then Mr. Garvey's other resources. It may be well to remark that as a journalist and a publicist, Dr. Du Bois has a perfect right to criticise improvement Association, gifts and exercising that right with a vengeance. What follows is a mercelless criticism of a man, who essays to be a leader in the great city of New York. He says: Mr. Garvey's income consists of (a) dues from members of the U. N. I. Association; (b) shares in the Black Star Line and other enterprises; (c) gifts and donations for specific objects. If the U. N. I. Association has "3,000, 000 members" then the income from that source alone would be certainly over a million dollars a year. If as is more likely, it has under 300,000 paying members he may collect $160,000 annually from this source. So far in the Black Star Line, it is still being sold. Garvey himself told of one woman who had saved about four hundred dollars in gold: "She brought out all the gold and bought shares in the Black Star Line." Another man writes this doubling letter from the Canal Zone: "I have sent twice to buy shares amounting to $125, (numbers of certificates 2752 and 9617). Now I am sending $25 for seven more shares. You might think I have money, but the truth is, I stared before, as that I have no money now. But if I'm to die of hunger it will be all right because I'm determined to do all that's in my power to better the conditions of my race." The manifest inference in this statement is that Mr. Marcus Garvey is receiving as salary (income) money from the shares in the Black Star Line, money from the dues of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, gIss and loans for specific objects. If he did not mean this, why did he not say that the Universal Negro Improvement Association's income was from these sources? Dr. Du Bois continues: In addition to this he has asked for special contributions. In the spring of 1920 he demanded for his coming convention in August, "a fund of two million dollars ($2,000,000) to capitalize this, the greatest of all conventions." In October he asknw edged a total of something over $16,000 in small contributions. Immediately he announced "a constructive loan of $2,000,000 which he is pre-annually still seeking to raise. From these sources of income Mr. Garvey has financed his enterprises and carried on a wide and determined propaganda, maintained a large staff of salaried officials, clerks, and agents and published a weekly newspaper. Not withstanding this considerable income, there is no doubt that Garvey's expenditures are pressing hard on his income, and that his financial methods are so essentially unsound that unless he specially revises the investors will certainly get no dividends and worse may happen. He is apparently using the familiar method of "Killing"—i.e., the money which comes in as investment in stock is being used in current expenses, especially in heavy overhead costs for clerk hire, interest and display. Even his boats are being used for advertisement more than for business—lying in harbors as exhibits, talking excursion parties, etc. These methods have necessitated mortgages on property and continually new and more grandiose schemes to collect larger and larger amounts of ready cash. Mean time, lacking business men of experience, his actual business ventures have brought in few returns, involved heavy expense and threatened him continually with disaster or legal complication. If this be true, if all the money he receives is barely enough to finance this gigantic scheme, why should he be criticised for calling for greater and more numerous contributions? But Dr. Du Bola seems to be impressed with the drastic nature of his criticism and he "damns his remarks with faint praise." He says: On the other hand, full credit must be given Garvey for a bold effort and some success. He has at least two vessels manned and owned by black men on the seas and they have carried passengers and cargoes. The difficulty is that he does not know the shipping business, he does not understand the investment of capital and he has few trained and staunch assistants. This is much "put into a nut-shell." How can Garvey do other than learn by failing or by risking failure? If he had to wait until he understood the shipping business, Marcus Garvey and his followers would have been in Heaven or the other place and Dr. Du Dolu evidently believes that they are going to the "other place." before the time would elapse in which they would learn the shipping business. Colored men in this country did not know the insurance business, but they learned by falking and they now own and operate insurance companies all over the country. Colored people did not know the dry-goods business, but they are selling dry goods and doing business in many cities. Negroes did not know the real estate business, but they are making a success of it now in well-nigh every city of any size in this country. Negroes did not know anything about the undertaking business, but after making failures, they have learned to embalm and some of the most palatial establishments in the Southland and Northland are owned by these same Negroes. Negroes did not know anything about the banking business, but the hundreds of thousands of dollars now being handled by these Negro institutions attest the fact that they learned by falling and over the wreckage of the failures in Birmingham, Alabama, Washington and Richmond, Va., they have built up some of the most prosperous racial institutions in all of this land. Negroes did not know anything about the printing and newspaper business and the grave-yards, were dotted with the unfortunates, who like Garvey meant well and died when they could not help it. But by these failures, other leaders profited and erected institutions with the faults and short comings that they observed eliminated. It is said that years ago, out in a far western town a visitor from the East entered a "good-time" place and found a man on a platform playing an organ for "all he was worth." The noise made and the pandemonium raised were hideous. In large letters over the platform were these words, "Don't shoot the organist. He is doing the best he can." It seems that Dr. Du Bois entertains the opinion that Mr. Garvey's commercial music is hideous, but he THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA has disregarded the injunction and is shooting at the organist, even though he admits that he is doing the best he can. Dr. Du Bois says: The present financial plight of an experienced and headstrong promoter may therefore decide the fate of the whole movement. This would be a calamity. Garvey is the beloved leader of tens of thousands of poor and be wildered people who have been cheated all their lives. His failure would mean a blow to their faith, and a loss of their little savings, which it would take generations to undo. If, as he states Mr. Marcus Garvey's failure would be a calamity why then is Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois doing all in his power to bring about this calamity? From no angle or view-point of reasoning can his brilliant and blasting attack tend to bring about the success of the movement. He could have decided upon this line of castigation and condemnation to his mind after all hope of saving the Universal Negro Improvement Association had vanished. He says further: Moreover, shorn of its bombast and exaggeration, the main lines of the Garvey plan are perfectly feasible. What he is trying to say and do is this: American Nogroes can, by accumulating and ministering their own capital organize industry, join the black centers of the south Atlantic by commercial enterprises and in this way ultimately redeem Africa as a fit and free home for black men. This is true. It is feasible. It is, in a sense, practical; but it will take for its accomplishment long years of painstaking, self-encircling effort. It will call for every ounce of ability, knowledge experience and devotion in the whole Nogro race. It is not a task for one man or one organization, but for coordinate effort on the part of millions. The plan is not, original with Garvey but he has popularized it, made it a living vocal ideal and swept thoulsides with him with intense belief in the possible accomplishment of the ideal. To our mind this is a damaging admission by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. It is in effect a demand that he and his associates and all other race leaders insist upon the right to participate in this great Garvey movement which he alleges is not original with Garvey. He would participate in this new emancipation or he would destroy the present great organization and attempt upon its rules to build up another in keeping with the theoretical ideas, which he in the sanctity of his study has deemed feasible and possible. But while Dr. Du Bols, is considering his plans, Mr. Marcus Garvey is operating his ships and spreading his own influence and that of his corporation in the fields of commerce. A story is told about a great general during the date civil war, who had reached an unfordable stream and he called his engineers into his camp to draw plans for building his bridge and for getting his army across. He had also consulted his leading subordinate, who was noted for doing things. About noon, the next day, he became impatient over the delay and ordered the engineers to report to him forthwith and explain the delay. His army must be moved at once or face disaster. Just then an orderly rode up to him from the front, with the information from his commander in command of that brigade of troops. It sounded like this, "General directs me to report to you that bridge is built and half of the army is across the stream." As for the engineers, they were still drawing on the plans to build a bridge on which the army could be gotten across the river. It seems to us that in this instance Marcus Garvey is reporting, "The bridge is built." The vessels are operating. The commercial life of this country is being injected into this great Negro organization and this is being done without the help of the colored leaders and their followers, whom Dr. Du Bols declares are essentially necessary to the success of the movement. We do not think so. We believe that for Dr. Du Bols, Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons. Dr. R. R. Moton and a host of others, to be in this Universal Negro Improvement Association, imbued with their present ideas and notions would be to set up a Babel of voices as a result of which nothing would be done. Marcus Garvey may fall, but let him go down surrounded by his friends and with the knowledge that he has done more than any other Negro in this particular line of work. Let us wish him well, if he is sincere and honest as Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois says that he is and let the Du Bois and Simmons, combination start a movement of similar importance and influence, where they can have a "hell of their own" and if possible peace with it. But, we are becoming a little too caustic in our remarks and so we shall reserve further comment for our next issue. Being happy is as much a habit as being miserable seems to be. Many people are doing well and they do not know it. Wildwood is mighty pleasant., when you have no children to support. Cold weather increases the love ardor in some folks and cools it in some others. A man who prays too much is about as bad off as one who prays too little. Colored folks can fight, but most of them find their greatest satisfaction in fighting each other. You can go to Heaven without wings, but you must leave this earthly body behind, in order to do go. Church-fights are abominations, but there are hundreds of people spoiling for a church fight. It is said that a worm trod upon will turn, but the trouble of it is that some of these worms have stickerg. Women as a rule like to talk about every thing and everybody, but there are some men, who can equal the women in this respect. Some men love their wives, but as a rule, are happier in the company of some other women that they do not love. Any poor person, who has been able to live during the past six years can live in war scarred Europe without dying. Imagination is nine-tenths of some people and actual accomplishments are found wanting in these kind of people. If you cannot keep the couples apart, marry them off and this will effect the result where all methods fall. President-elect Harding has gone to the Bible for relief, but this was only after the politicians and statesmen had come to him for office. The young man usually wants that which he has not got and when he gets it, then he does not want it. This applies also to the young woman. Delaying matrimony some time is very much like delaying an execution. The suspense is awake, but not any more so than the execution would be. Reaching heaven is a slow process by the regular route, but being blown up by dynamite will carry one there in jig time, and with no thought as to how you will get there. Marcus Garvey is said to have stated his opinion of W. E. B. Du Bois. This is only fair for certainly the distinguished scholar had stated his opinion of Marcus Garvey. Many preachers are having their salaries increased and many others are working on the old salary basis. The latter reminds us of the admonition of a Prince Edward County preacher, who upon resigning the pastorate recommended as his successor a preacher, who could live on earth and board in Heaven. He was leaving for the reason that he found it impossible to accomplish this miracle. It is reported that Mr. Marcus Garvey says that he will bring suit against Dr. W. E. R. Du Bols and the New York Crisis. The contention is not worth it. This tends to show that the Du Bols shafts found their mark and it seems to us that the great leader of the black folks should not make any such admission. Meet Du Bols where he made the attack and let the courts alone. They are both unreliable and unsatisfactory in cases of this sort.

Fess, of Ojio, Quailies Protection Benefits and Republ can Taxation Policy to Restore Good Times. (By Snell Smith.) Washington, January—Declaring that the present Republican Congress will save one billion dollars during the present session, Representative Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, throws light on what further expients may be restored to in the acar future to ease the heavy burden on the taxpayers. "The war," he says, "has left its problems of finance. To care for the interest on the public debt $1,200,000,000 will be required annually. The care of the disabled soldier, the dependents of the dead, and the insurance of the service man, including the hospitalization as well as the rehabilitation, reaches an enormous sum of money. We are told by the head of the Treasury that for some years yet we must provide by taxation an annual expenditure of at least $4,000,000,000. This is almost six times what it cost us in 1912 and full four times the cost of 1917. BILLION SAVED THIS SESSION. Taxation is our most important problem in immediate attention, he goes on. Our first duty is to cut the cost of government. This is the work of Congress, the appropriating body. We are now at that work and we will cut the cost almost $1,000,000,000, this Congress. Our next problem is to insure a more businesslike and economic administration of affairs by the adoption of a budget system. This will be done without undue delay. We have already taken the first step to eliminate duplication by a organization of government departments. Our next step is to revise our entire taxation system in the interest of simplicity and equity. It is generally agreed that the excess profits tax will be given to revision of the income tax in the higher ranges for the same reason and in order to avoid drawing uncome into investment in non taxables. Two new taxes are now being considered, viz: the sales tax and that upon the undistributed profits of corporations. A flat tax of from 16 to 20 per cent on corporation incomes is being discussed with some serious nosis. WESTWOOD NOTES The Pastors' Air Club of Westwood Baptist Church, presented the pastor Rev. J.

HOUSE RAIDED EIGHT TIMES Attacks American Newspapers for Lack of Publicity Given Irish Troubles—Murder Gets Five Lines on Back Page. --- Washington, Jan. 13. Lord Mayor O'Callaghan, of Cork, described today before the Commission of One Hundred investigating Irish conditions, his efforts to function as chief executive of a city of 100,000 population while "on the run." Officials of the city of Cork, the Lord Mayor said found it impossible to devote their best efforts to administration of the city when they were in daily fear of arrest or assassination. The Lord Mayor said he had not slept in his own home for two years and that in his absence his home had been raided eight times by the crown forces. Visits to the city Hall recently destroyed by fire, the Lord Mayor said, were few and far between, and administration of public affairs carried on wherever he happened to be living. The Mayor, in appearing before the commission to present his testimony and thereby accomplish the object of his visit to the United States as a stowaway and without passports, wore an American-made business suit and gave his recital of conditions in Ireland in a voice devolof of Irish acco-but too low to reach the out-sirts of a large crowd that packed the hotel ballroom where the commis-sion holds its sessions. He seemed wholly unperturbed over the possibility of a decision from the American government ordering his deportation before completion of his testimony, which will continue tomorrow. The only mention made during the day's session of the Lord Mayor's status in the United States followed a reference by the Lord Mayor to the coroner's jury which found Premier Lloyd George guilty of murder in connection with the killing of Lord Mayor MacCurtain, of Cork. "Our immigration laws, then, would har Lloyd George from the United States," remarked M. J. Doyle, counsel for O'Callaghan. But the State Deartment would let him in," unterjected Senator Norris, of Nebraska, a member of the commission. The Lord Mayor presented a number of instances of what he characterized as outrages on the people of Ireland and concluded his day before the commission with an attack on the American newspapers as British controlled, declaring that "outrages in Ireland" possess little publicity in the United States. The killing of a young man in Ireland, the injury of his sister and other indignities to his family," he said received five lines of publicity on the back page of one of your newspapers. In addition to his verbal presentation to the commission, O'Callaghan caused to be entered into the committee's records thirty affidavits, indicating killings, burnings, robberies and tortures which he asserted were committed against the Irish by British military and police. He dwelled largely on the execution of the law and the working of the Stann Fein courts in Ireland and in that connection read several of the affidavits. He explained that he brought affidavits describing cases that he thought were representative and had made no effort to bring a great number. PREPARE HABEAS CORPUS WRITE FOR NEGRO CONVICT Mississippi Governor Pardons Minor Crimes and Demands Delivery by County Sheriff. 一 Jackson, Miga, Jan. 17.—Attorney General Frank Robinson of Mississippi stated tonight that he was preparing a writ of habeas corpus to be presented to Chancellor E. N. Thomas of Warren Co. seeking to obtain possession of a Negro, R. T. Golshy convicted of receiving stolen goods and sentenced to the State Penitentiary for five years from Warren County. While serving this sentence Goldy by was released by Governor Lee M. Russell on suspended sentence, but in response to public opinion the Governor later canceled the suspension and the Negro was returned to the penitentiary after being arrested at the Republican Nat. Convention in Chicago. A short while after his return to prison the Negro escaped by bribing a convict guard and was later arrested by Warren County officials in Canada, brought to Warren County tried on other charges and sentenced to jail. Following the refusal of the Warren County sheriff to obey a command from the Governor to surrender the Negro to the State, authorities the Governor pardoned the Negro of all charges against him in Warren County including a number for which he has not yet been tried.

Caused a Sensation by His Outspoken Utterances Would Make the Same Statement in His (Continued From Last Week) Senator Spencer. How much? Mr. Johnson. Oh, I do not know. I spent about $150. Senator Spencer. The other fellows spent about $2,000. Senator Spencer. Is that what you call a wild use? The Chairman. He says the other fellow spent $2,000. Mr. Johnson. The other fellows spent $2,000. The Chairman. Who were the oth or fellows? Mr. Johnson. Why, Clark Grifer. Senator Spencer. Whom did he represent? In whose interest was that money spent? Mr. Johnson. Well, he did not represent me. I was a candidate for national committeeman, and there was a big fight; and incidentally, I had known Gov. Lowden since he was in Congress, known him familiarly and well, as I have other Members of Congress with whom I have struck up a little acquaintance. A few low who (is bad off) has to make friends somewhere. The Chairman. Even in Congress, Mr. Johnson. Even in Congress. I had an acquaintance there, and when I was on the national committee. And I have had a lot of tribulation in your own town, Senator, in 1996 when I was for Tom Reed for President, and voted for Tom Reed. I thought he was the brightest product of our party since the days of Abraham Lincoln. Senator Spencer. That is when Mc Kinley was nominated? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. The Chairman. Now, whom did the other people represent, who were spending the money there? That is what we want to get at. Was it a Wood campaign? Mr. Johnson. Well yes, sr; they said they were for Gen. Wood. The Chairman. And you represented the Lowden forces? Mr. Johnson. No, sir, I represented my own self; but incidentally I was a friend of Gov. Lowden and I was perfectly willing to have delegates go absolutely uninstructed, and I would be perfectly willing tomorrow if they let any 50 or 1,000 men in Georgia go to any convention uninstructed. I would take my chances and go to the convention uninstructed and see whether they were going to be for the man I was for or not; and if I was for Senator Reed or for Senator Kenyon, or anybody else, I believe the majority would say, "Well Lincoln, we agree with you on the proposition." Sonator Reed. You must be quite an influential man. Mr. Johnson. Well, I do not know about that. I am simply a fellow, Sonator Reed, who has been under considerable tribulation. Senator Reed. But you must be an influential man to lead men around that way, get them uninstructed and then have them go with you. Mr. Johnson. I will tell you why they feel kindly toward me. I have practiced law in that State for about 23 years and I have never hesitated to speak out about the matter of the barbarians (incarceration of human beings in that State); and I have the confidence of the bar of that State, and they feel that I must have some little advocate somewhere, Senator. That is why. The Chairman. Then this fight and the spending of the money in the town you spoke of was on the national committee fight? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. The Chairman. And who was opposing you for national committee? Mr. Johnson. A variety of gentlemen. The Chairman. Who were they? Mr. Johnson. Col. Henry Blun, of Savannah, a banker; Mr. Rosee Pickett, of Pickens, Gn. a former State senator; and Mr. Clark Grier himself was not averse to being national committeeman. All of those are white gentlemen. His Chairman. Did that fight tie up with the presidential fight? Mr. Johnson. It did, really; it tied up with the presidential fight. The Chairman. That is what I wanted to get at. Mr. Johnson. It did, Senator. The Chairman. Then the money that was spent by you, was that reimburse to you in any way by the Low ten forces? The Chai m n. How much money did you receive from the Lowden forces? Mr. Johnson. About $9,000. The Chairman, Well, now, that was money that was used in this particular town that you speak of—that is, the othr money. I mean, was that used by the Wood forces? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. The Chairman. Or by the Jonson forces? Mr. Johnson. In Debt. Mr. Grief and Mr. Cole, and the gentlemen with him, wanted the debt to when elected—they wanted to indorse Gen. Wood and instress the delegate to vote for him. The Chairman. That was the fight there? Mr. Johnson. That was the fight there. And I did not once who was elected and did not care anything about it. I just wanted whoever was elected, the delegate in that district, to be absolutely uninstructed, and take my chances when we got to Chicago with him. So they spent about a couple of thousand dollars there that that did. The Chairman. In that one day? Mr. Johnson. Suroly, right there. The Chairman. How did they spend that? They did not buy any delegates, did they? Mr. Johnson. Oh, I do not know whether it was the buying of a delegate or not. It was just handing out the money to different boys around, Sonator. The Chairman. Well, just how was that? Senator Spencer. Were those boys delegates? Mr. Johnson. Oh, they were delegates in the convention, and well-wishers. The Chairman. Was that a county convention? Mr. Johnson. No, sir that was a district convention. The Chairman. A district convention? Mr. Johnson. The twelfth congressional district of Georgia. The Chairman. The twelfth district convention was held at this particular town? Mr. Johnson. At this particular town; yes, sir. The Chairman. Who was the chairman of that? Mr. Johnson. J. J. Jenkins was temporary chairman of the convention. He was chairman of the district that called the convention and presided until its temporary organization and the organization chairman was Dr. Johnson, of Valdosta. The Chairman. We had some testimony from Mr. Karnes that at one convention the chairman of the meeting complained very much because they were voting contrary to the way they had been paid to vote. Mr. Johnson. No. The Chairman. And there was some surprise expressed? Mr. Johnson. No: not the chairman Grier was complaining; C. Grier. The Chairman. And there was sur- prise expressed that he paid them be fore they voted? Mr. Johnson. That was the meet- ing. The Chairman. This meeting? Mr. Johnson. Yes, str. The Chairman. Tell us about that. Who said that? Mr. Johnson. J. J. Jenkins, of Dub- lin, Ga., in 1916 was elected chairman of that congressional district exe- cutive committee, and he presided and called the meeting to order. After he called it to order a Dr.Johnson, of Dublin, Ga., in no way rela- ted to me by blood or otherwise, was elected the temporary and permanent chairman of that convention. He pres- ided, Clark Grier, who lives at Augu- ta, Ga., but who was formerly in 1916 and before, of Dublin— The Chairman. A white man? The Chairman. Go on. Mr. Johnson. And was formerly postmaster there under McKinley and foosevelt, who was formerly the post master there at Dublin, but who since that time had removed to Augusta, Ga., had in charge the matter of being interested in having a delegate instructed to vote at Chicago for Gen. Wood. It was he who was interested in that, so interested that he used the money that he had. The Chairman. Now, who was the Georgin representative of the Wood forces? Mr. Johnson. Well, there were several of them. The Chairman. Who were some of them? Mr. Johnson. Capt. Henry Blun, of Savannah, Ga., who did not so much represent Gen. Wood as he did Gen. Hitchcock. The Chairman. Yes. Mr. Johnson. You know how the thing comes up. I know that that Capt. Blun thinks there is nobody in the world but Gen. Hitchcock. The Chairman. Did he have money to spend? Mr. Johnson. Well, not that he has ever gold me or that I know of my personal knowledge. The Chairman. Well, now, let us get back to the Grier matter then. Grier was over at this convention that day? Mr. Johnson. Oh. yes. The Chairman. What did you say about the expenditure of money? Mr. Johnson. He spent it around, down over a little hall, over the drug store; he called all the boys in and excluded all the rest of us, saying he had personal conversations to have with them; and then he went up to the courthouse—the public courthouse—and when the proposition was made by a delegate by the name of McReynolds from a little town that they call Goldwell, about 9 miles out in Lowndes County—or Laurenz County; that is Dublin is in Laurenz County—he made a motion to instruct the delegate to vote at Chicago for Gen. Wood. When that was done Prof. Henry A. Hunt, principal of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School, at Fort Valley, Co., who was a boy with me in college at Atlanta University. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA and my friend—they made arrangements for me to make a little talk before the motion was put, and I talk ed about the expectation of a Republican Congress, and that we wanted to put an end to lynching by having a Federal law enacted against it, he cause a State court would never do anything about it; and they were very pleased with that idea, and so when Prof. Hunt made his motion, to lay the motion of McRay on the table out of 34 votes 32 of them—31 or 32—voted to lay the motion on the table and the motion did lie on the table, and it did lie so much on the table that when Mincey came here to Chica go he voted with me, because I was for Gov. Lowden and voted for Gov. Lowden. The Chairman. When did he make this statement? Mr. Johnson. When the motion was laid on the table, Mr. Grier lost his head, and he just went around like a wild man hollowing to delegate, and he said, "I have given you money, and I have paid you your money here, and you have let Link Johnson come here and carry you astray," and all that kind of thing; and he asked for the return of themoney. The boys came to me and I said, "Why, just keep what you have got. I shall fake all this matter before the grand jury, and see if there is any law in Georgia against corrupt practices"—the corrupt practices act, and all that business. Then Mr. Grier got frightened about the matter, so my friends were left with the money and I was glad to have it that way. The Chairman. He paid them be for they voted? Mr. Johnson. Oh, yer, air; It was before taking. Senator. The Chairman. And he is considered a good political manager, is he? Mr. Johnson. We thought he was up to that hour. The Chairman. Now, were there other instances of the expenditure of money in that way, that you can tell us anything about? Mr. Johnson. Well, you know there are 156 counties in the State of Georgia, and geographically it covers a territory approximately 350 miles in length and about 275 miles in breadth. We have, for instance, 12 congressional districts, with an average of 13 counties in a district; that is not always true; there are some exceptions. For instance, in my district, the fifth Atlanta district, there are only 5 counties. The ninth congressional district, in which Senator Pickett lives, has 19 counties in it. The Chairman. It would be a big job. Mr. Johnson. But on an average there are 13 counties—on the average. Now, in this Dublin district, which covers a territory that is large or by far than the State of Delaware or the State of Rhode Island. It extends 175 miles in length and it is a hard matter to go through those counties, a very hard matter—and I had to go through them; and for the last 12 months I had been right in touch with the boys. I wanted to be national committeeman. The Chairman. You were elected national committeeman? Mr. Johnson. I was; by the votes of white men from Georgia, who have live there and still live in Georgia and who were born in Georgia. The Chairman. How was your delegation as to color? Mr. Johnson. Well, we had 17. The Chairman. How many were white? Mr. Johnson. And I got 12 votes for national committeeman and Mr. Pickett got 3—that was 15 and 2, one white man and one colored man, would not vote either way. The Chairman. How many colored men were there in the delegation and how many white? Mr. Johnson. There were about five or six, I think. The Chairman. Five or six white men? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. Let me see, I could tell you definitely. The Chairman. Well, that is near enough. Mr. Johnson. All right, sir. Fourth district, Williams; fifth, John Martin seventh, D. C. Cole; ninth, Pickett and his men—that is two more—how many is that? Senator Spencer. That is five. Mr. Johnson. And Goree, at large. Senator Spencer. That is six. Mr. Johnson. I think that was about all. The Chairman. Were you delegate at three? Mr. Johnson. Oh, yes, and have been since 1896. Senator. I have been a delegate of large from Georgia ever since 1896' when I went to Senator Spencer's home for the first time at St. Louis. The Chairman. Can you give us any indication of the amount of money spent by the Wood forces in Georgia during from what you spent yourself in the Lowndes matter? Mr. Johnson. WJL. my expenditure would not be a fair test. I was spend my money to try to create an or convention in the State to last more than this campaign, and the other folloows were interested just simply in getting delegates to the convention; so I do not think it would be a fair (Continued no Page Four) You Can Have Soft, Silky Hair A.

The Chairman. You think that was spent there by the Wood forces? Mr. Johnson, Yes sir. The Chairman. How much was spent by the Lowden forces? Mr. Johnson, Oh, well, now, I got $9,000 from Illinois. I did not get question anything about that. I sup pose it came from statesmen who were any from Gov. Lowden. I did not interested very much in Gov. Lowden. Mr. Joseph H. Watson, of Albany, Ga. a colored man put up $2,500 cash to put into this. The Chairman. In addition to the $9,000. Mr. Johnson, Oh, yes, sir. I spent between $7,000 and $8,000 of my own property in this matter. Senator Spencer. In this election? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sr. Senator Spencer. In connection with your candidacy? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sr We spent about $20,000 sr told. The Chairman. About $20,000. Mr. Johnson. Yes, sr. The Chairman. That covered the presidential matter and the national committee matter— Mr. Johnson. The national committee matter— The Chairman. I mean, it was involved. Mr. Johnson. I would say so. The Chairman. There was an attempt to take the organization away from you? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. It was a race question. The Chairman. A race question? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir; the race question against me, because of the way God Almighty had made me. That is all there was to that, Senator. Senator Spencer. Is there any interference with the voting of colored men in the primary—in the Republican primary? Mr. Johnson. We have no primaries in our State; the Republicans have no primaries. The Democrats have primaries generally, because you see, the Democrats— Senator Spencer. How do you elect your delegates to district conventions? By mass meetings? Mr. Johnson. This year we did it all by mass meeting. For instance, I am chairman of Fulton County. After the national committee met and issued its call, and after the Republican State central committee met on February 28 and made its call for the State convention, and after the fifth congressional district, in which my county is located, met and issued its call for the district convention, then I called my committee together, the Fulton County Committee together, and we made our call for our Fulton County convention. You see, at the one mass meeting there were elected the delegates both to the district and the State convention. Senator Spencer. There is no interference with the presence of color men at the Republican mass meetings? Mr. Johnson, Oh, no. Now, for instance, there was no forcible interference; there was no forcible opposition made to us, except that the Democrats had considerable concern about our election this year in Georgia, on the ground that the Democrats did not want a Negro to be a member of the national committee or anything else. They are very much interested in it now. Mr. Clark Howell is complaining about my being a Negro; not about my character, not one word about that, not one word about the esteem I have from my neighbors, who live near me, but on account of being a Negro. Now, Mr. Clark Howell is very much afraid that Hardwick and Hoke Smith and their friends are going to bolt the Democratic Party and split it up; and the only way that they split down there in Georgia is by holding me up and saying, "You-all must come together, because we have the bugaboo of a Negro being a member of the national committee otherwise," when he know that the boss in the State of GGeorgia is a white man, Col. C. P. Gorceo, a white man, chairman of the State committee; so it is simply a question of race matter. Senator Spencer. Do you think there is any probability of such a split? Mr. Johnson. Oh, no; Oh, no; 75 years from now Georgia is going to be just as thoroughly Democratic as it is today. The Chairman. That is probably the best piece of news the Democrats have had for some time. The Chairman. That is one State you think is certain. Mr. Johnson. Is it not borne out by the evidence at hand? Have we not had tidings from those who had trouble at San Francisco the other day and do we not read in the press the commendations of Mr. Cox from those who were treated badly there? I have in mind some very dizzied gentlemen who were mis treated at San Francisco, who but congratulate themselves on the nomination of Mr. Cox. The Chairman. Let me ask you this: How many votes are cast normally in Georgia? Mr. Johnson. Now, when we had the McKinley campaign on, we carried 40 counties for McKinley, for the Republican ticket. Senator Spencer. Forty out of how many? Mr. Johnson. At that time there were 149 counties. The Chairman. How much did that vote amount to? The Republican vote, I mean. Mr. Johnson. Forty-eight thousand. The Chairman. Forty-eight thousand? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. Johnson. Yes, sir. The Chancellor. And the Democratic candidate, how much? Mr. Johnson. Oh, about 85,000 or 90,000. Senator Spencer. In the whole State? Mr. Johnson. Yes, slr. The Chairman. 85,0000 or 90,000. Mr. Johnson. Yes, slr. The Chairman. How many white people are there in Georgia? Mr. Johnson, About 1,700,000 under the census of 1910. The Chairman. About how many are there now? Mr. Johnson. About 1,360,000, approximately. The Chairman. Do you know about the proportion of illiterates, illiteracy, in the colored race in Georgia? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. We exceed in illiteracy the white people in Georgia by just about 5 or 6 per cent now. The Chairman. Five or six per cent? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. We have made considerable strides and we have had a lot of benevolent institutions helping us; a good many teachers from your State, Senator, have come down there, and we have been trying like everything to reduce it. The Chairman. They are good people are they not? Mr. Johnson. Oh, all of them are very beautiful people. Now, I want to make this statement and say that not one dime of the money that has ever been spent in Georgia has been given to a delegate that was at this convention, not one dime. This money there, all of it— The Chairman. Well, that is hardly true, because the money was sent to you, and you were a delegate. Mr. Johnson. Surely, sir, but this whole thing is centered around this: Take the Lily White Harry Edwards, Hastings, McClue, Boatwright and all that Lily White crowd; they had a conference with the national committeeman of the State of Georgia. I understand on good authority that the evening before the Lily White convention met there was a meeting between Mr Harry Stillwell Edwards and a chief member of the Democratic national committee, and they dined together; and the next day Mr. Harry Stillwell Edwards was put out as candidate for United States Senator, because they anticipated that the Republican Party was going to put forth Mr. George Williams, of Dublin County in his fight for the United States Senate on that day. So to anticipate it, the Democrats bother around with our politics more than they do with their own. The Chairman. They brought out a Republican candidate you say? Mr. Johnson. They brought out H. S. Edwards as a Lily White candl date for United States Senator, and that was done that day, when the evening before Mr. Edwards dined with a chief functionary of the Dem ocratic Party in that State. Now, that was done to anticipate our nomination of Mr. Williams. We ran Mr. Williams in 1918 for the Senate and we carried some counties. Lot me tell you what we did. There is abolutely utterly nothing in a name Senator. Mr. Harris, the sitting Senator a personal friend of mine of many years' standing since the days he was with Senator Clay there—Mr. Harris, the Democrat, carried Lincoln County, Ga., overwhelmingly. Mr. Williams, the Republican carried Jeff Davis County overwhelmingly. That is true. It just happened to be that down in Jeff Davis County we have 75 per cent Negroes, and up in Lincoln County the white people have about 75 per cent so you can just make your choice as to loyalty there. The Chairman. There is nothing in a name? Mr. Johnson. There is nothing whatever in a name. The Chairman. You have a good many Johnsons down there in Georgia and yet Hiram Johnson did not have many delegates. Mr. Johnson. Well, he was not without friends, Senator. He was not my friend, exactly, because I do not like the Senator very much on account of the color question, and his love for Senator Vardaman down in Mississippi, the Letter the Senator wrote to Senator Vardaman, which I did not like very much, I like all the rest of it. I love all Republicans; just so you say "Republican," I am right there. The Chairman. They all look alike to you. Mr. Johnson. But I did not like that letter to Senator Vardaman down in Mississippi. The Chairman. I do not remember that. Mr. Johnson. Yes; saying that it would be a calamity to be Commonwealth of Mississippi not to return Senator Vardaman to the Senate. The Chairman. You had quite a spirited Democratic contest down there, did you not? Mr. Johnson. How is that? The Chairman. I say, they had quite a spirited Democratic contest down there? Mr. Johnson. We sang when there was trouble at our State convention, but we had no other means of entainment. The public press said that when they met they not only sang, but they had other inducements that did not sound good to Mr. Roper, who has charge of the Volstead Act enforcement. And another thing; My campaign was far less expensive than that of our mutual friends, the Democrats. Now, I call to mind Senator Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia—not Senator, but would-be Senator Thom as E. Watson, on the Hoke Smith-Hardwick combination that went to San Francisco and got turned down —Mr. Watson made this public statement, that notwithstanding that his friend's had control in certain counties, had all the county machinery and the emolumentary offices, such as tax receivers, sheriffs, clerks of courts, commissioners of roads and revenues, and all those things, still Mr. Watson had to put up $5,000 of his money to get into that thing. The Chairman. Do you know how much was pont in that campaign? Mr. Johnson. Well, there were about eight of the gentlemen that were running, and I suppose they treat all Democrats just alike, and that would be $40,000. Usually the Democratic primaries there they spend any amount of money. I have seen them buy votes in Atlanta, Ga., at THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Make your skin bright healthy and beautiful A smooth, clear complexion of delicate softness, free from blightishes and blackheads, is indicative of intelligent care and refinement The Dr. Fred Palmer method of beauty treatment, if used with regularity, promises a reward that will warrant its systematic use. You can secure a complete set of Dr. Fred Palmer's Toilet Preparations from your druggist. First, steam the face, neck, hands and arms thoroughly with a turkish towel, as hot as the skin can bear. Repeat this three or four times. Then rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Soap gently into the skin with a soft wash rag, using hot water. Rub this lather gently, but thoroughly into the skin, and then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Next, with the finger tips, thoroughly rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener into the skin. Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener has earned for itself a reputation never attained by other skincreams. It is made by competent chemists, and only the best of each class of ingredients is used. It is creamy white, smooth as velvet, sweetly perfumed. After rubbing the Skin Whitener in thoroughly, until it is absorbed by the skin, apply Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Powder, a dainty, sweetly-scented face powder, that protects the face from sunburn or chafe, and enhances the lightness of the complexion. In addition to the soap, cream and powder, Dr. Fred Palmer has prepared a hair dresser that is without equal for straightening, softening and increasing the growth of the hair. Only a hair dresser par-excellence would be marked with Dr. Fred Palmer's name, which has always stood for quality in toilet preparations. 25 cents each at your druggist, or sent post-paid upon receipt of the purchase price, plus 1 cent war tax.

Sinai Baptist Church didnt feel it was enough to wish their Pastor a Merry Xmas but with their wishes they handed him a check for $20.00. Next came Supt. Harris and handed the pastor a check for $15.00. Rev. Smith said he guess he was too happy to preach but we all were well pleased at his sermon. The Sunday School gave the girls and boys a beautiful Xmas Tree Friday night in Xmas and the 'little boys and girls were made happy on receiving presents. The Christian Hill Lodge of K. of P. held a meeting at the home of Sir Bentley and much important business was decided on for the good of the Lodge. Sir Bentley was combined to bed during the Xmas under the care of Dr. Fisher. But the members of the Christian Hill Lodge and the Home Mission club made him well know it was Xmas by the many presents they gave him.

In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-necute 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 marvous heading power. Dont send a cent; 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 looked for means of getting rid of your rheumatism, 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.

C. Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure 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 time, 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 1070-G Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, 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 rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.
