WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET MARCUS GARVEY NEGRO MOSES? VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 14 What He Has Promised His Four Million Followers. His Scheme of an Ethiopian Empire Which is Profoundly Influencing the Attitude of the American Negroes Toward Their White Neighbors. --- Four summers ago, a few months after America entered the World War, there arrived in New York from the island of Jamaica a cool black Negro of the purse. African type, whose muscular, chunky, short body was burdened with a negligible load of tangible assets, but whose protable-hawed, broad nosed, kinky-halved head was fairly bursting with an idea that was as great and as heavy as it was tangible. Only thirty years old, but well-educated in both arts and letters and in the ways of the world, a traveler and a student in many countries, a journalist, an orator, and a human encyclopedia of the affairs of his own race, he had early in life eluded a vision which thereafter always remained before him, and which he, in landing in New York, was still pursuing. His was a vision of true Negro liberty and an ideal of literal African Commonwealth. But what they say about the rank and file of prophets applied with more than double force to him; he was without honor in any country. Unknown to the vast majority of his own race, unwelcomed by the very who did know him; unheralded by any of them upon his arrival, he took with him to his obscure lodging in that part of Harlem which constitutes the largest and greatest Negro city in the world, his still more obscure idea. He was then just plain Marauc Garvey from Jamaica. Today he is the Honorable Marauc Garvey president of the Professional Republic of Africa, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League of the World president of the Black Star Line of resistance ships, president of the Negro Factories Corporation of car and publisher of the Negro newspaper on earth and he is encyclopedic by millions of his color in the Black World, described as one foremost biographer says, "to rank in history above the N. Alaric, Attila, Glyphic Oman, Semwil W. Polem, Bismarck and Washington." Marus Garvey was born in Jamaica, the West Indian island that has a population of 90 per cent working Negroes and 10 per cent employing whites. What education the government lent system there affords be absorbed by the time he was sixteen years old. His first step from school was in the opposite direction from that taken by virtually all his classmates who in one form or another, as was inevitable, gravitated back to the soil. Garvey went to work in a printing office as a means toward an end. Within two years he started a news paper that in its hectic and short career bristled with not a little of the youthful editor's adolescent radicalism. At the age of twenty he gave up his local enterprise and journeyed to London on gaining further education and a knowledge of the world. In the British capital he met a famous figure in the world of color radio broadcast in the person of Duse Mohammed Elfendi, editor of Africa and Orient Review. While in the editorial gallery of the Egyptian, whose mother was a fullblooded Negress, Garvey found time to attend London University. After several years in school Garvey set forth to study European countries, particularly these countries, learning more racial affairs and for a long period he traveled in the then Central Empires, in France, through the Mediterranean Latin countries, the Near East, and Northern Africa. Writing most of the time, studying education part of the time and thinking all of the time about the past, present and future of his own race, he returned to Jamaica some time later, a considerably wider and broader won. He started another new paper and in this his second personal forum there classed the beginnings of his present day creed. While in London he had rehearsed the steps in his entered with Dusse Mohammed, with the result not good impression when that act drew deom of race affair that he obtained a bureaucry letter of introduction to one of the leading American Negroes of that time. Back in Louisiana, Garvey condered long and seriously his intended trip to America, for he realised the importance of his impression there upon the success or failure of his scheme. In 1912 Garvey set forth to New York. Upon landing he sought out Jane Mohamd's friend, with whom he discussed his gubbitions and his plans. However the reception may be described, it was not warm, for after consultation with a few other Negroes and an expensive trip to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and further south, Garvey returned to Jamaica rather downhearted. He had been told his idea would not do, his plan would not go that American Negroes, with all their grievances and discriminations, would not follow such a will'o' the wip imagery as he would have set before them, that they would not be willing to trade their halfbad status for one which gave scant promise of being anything but something worse. But Garvey would not and did not give up. He continued his newspaper and likewise built anew his rejected project. He did not doubt the sincerity of his few but sufficiently condemnatory American critics, but after lengthy pondering he came to the conclusion that perhaps they did not really know whereof they spoke. He began to believe that once he could get to the mass of enlightened American Negroes and expound direct to them his belief and plans for the fulfilment of the destiny of their race, his enter price would be vindicated and his ambition realized. Then there came up on him the feeling, which soon developed into a conviction that perhaps the leaders he had approached in America were feebours of their own leadership and afraid of his probable popularity in the event his proposition won the masses. That conviction, which he later found to be true with a vengeance, only sted him to attempt another plunge. In the midst of his preparations for a second trip to America, the World War started. That personity delayed his place, but by the delay he refined a hundred fold. He was not slow to sense the awakening of pathognomie and rapid coneiness over the world nor could he fail to see and feed what the Negro's part in America's share of the war would do for the general development and expansion of the race. What was true with the American Negro was likewise true, though perhaps not so markedly, with the blackman in every country which raised vast armies. There were millions of men of his race used in the course of the great conflict, and every Negro who carried a gun or wore a uniform in the struggle, he realized, would return home with a new attitude toward his fellow men of other coles. So, in tense upon capitalizing this new spirit and determined to join the issue with the recognized leaders of American Negro opinion as to the desirability of his plan, Gargoyle sailed to New York for the second time in the summer of 1917. Upon his arrival in Heclam, Garvey set forth slowly and cautiously to lead to his already plenished store of material with which to further build and carry his plan to success. With his general knowledge of conditions prevailing in every country where Nerroes are to be found, but realizing that a tear support from the great mass of enlightened American Negroes depended his ultimate achievement, Garvey made a careful survey of the entire American field preparatory to launching any portion of his gigantic enterprise. His realization that this time he must make the fight shuttle-handed led him to take each step only with the utmost care. For the few who knew him from his previous quick trip soon showed signs of an intent to make this visit even shorter. (TO BE CONTINUED) NATIONAL IDEAL GRAND MASTER IN NEWPORT NEWS. January 19.

JOHNSON, D. D. IS HONORABLY EXONERATED BY POLICE JUSTICE. BANDITS GET $300,000 FROM WAKEFIELD BANK. The unwarranted arrest and trial of Dr. R. O. Johnson on Thursday February 13d, caused a great confusion among the colored prosecution in Richmond. All kinds of runners were at about and therefore the hour of trial found hundreds, of ministers, and prominent citizens of both races present to assure Dr. Johnson of their sympathy and confidence and to condemn the indiscriminate act of the other in arresting Dr. Johnson on mere suspicion. The trial soon developed the fact that the arrest of Dr. Johnson was a serious blunder. The evidence presented by the officer and two witnesses was found to be absolutely worth less and, therefore, Judge Ingram promptly dismissed the case, with out requesting one word from Dr. Johnson. The Judge's statement and acts indicated that he did not deem it necessary for Dr. Johnson to dignify the charge by a word of defense since he had done nothing to cause an offense or arrest. Dr. Johnson was immediately surrounded by his best friends and hearty congratulations were extended to him and Attorney Demny, Mr. A. D. Price and others who had immediately gone to the aid of Dr. Johnson when they learned of his arrest. At the morning services of the Moore Street Baptist church, Sunday February 6th, the officers and members of the church passed unanimously a resolution of confidence in their pastor. The resolution after recounting in the preamble the strong displeasure of the membership of the church at the uncalled 'or arrest and consequent humiliation of their pas for runs as follows: "Be it therefore resolved: That the Moore Street Missionary Baptist Church condemns the arrest and attempted prosecution of our pastor; And further, assures him that we have unshaken faith in his honor, integrity and character, and hold him as a worthy minister of Christ. Done by order of Church this 6th day of February, 1821. E. B. VAUGHAN, Chaitman, GEO. C. SAVAGE, Church." GEO. C., SAVAGE, Clerk. At a Citizens' Mass meeting held at the Church at 3:30 P. M. Sunday, February 6th, under the joint ances of the Men's Progrative League and the Richmond Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and at which Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church presided: Attorney W. F. Denny read a statement from the officer who made the arrest. The officer stated that he regretted the annoyance that had come to Dr. Johnson over the arrest and assured him that his aces were not prompted by malfuse and that he was indeed sorry for the mistake he made in arrest Dr. Johnson. A rising vote of confidence and congratulation was given by the assemblage to Dr. Johnson. But all realized that steps must be taken to put a stop to the frequent arrest of colored citizens on the mere whim of suspicion of an officer.

RANDUITS GET $300,000 FROM WAKEFIELD BANK. Blow Off Door of Vault and Ransom Every Safe Deposit Box. Petersburg, Va. February 7. Blowing on the door of the big vault and going through the contents of every safe deposit box, yogamen early this morning secured over $30,000 in registered Liberty bonds and war savings stamps from the Bank of Sussex and Surry, at Wakefield making a gateway in a stolen automobile without leaving a clue to the attack. The burglars made no at ease to enter the big safe in the vault containing more than $30,000 in currency. Lack of time is believed to have been the cause of the cracksmen failing to attempt to blow the safe by breaking and rifting it the safe door it boxes requiring considerable time. The stolen books, and scams were the property of citizens in the county being placed in the boxes for safe keeping. Included in the loot were several hundred dollars' worth of postage stamps placed in the vault by the town postmaster. Persons residing in the neighborhood of the bank heard a report of an explosion about 2 o'clock this morning but paid no attention to it. The robbery was discovered this morning when the bank was opened for business. An automobile was stolen from a Wakefield man shortly after midnight and the yogamen are believed to have made off in that. P. D. Bain of Norfolk is president of the Bank of Sussex and Surry and W. H. Savidge is cashier. FULTON NOTES. We had a very large gathering in Mt. Calvary Sunday School last Sunday. We listened to some very encouraging remarks from Sister Bernette a missionary.

I know it is the truth, because I sat on Daddy's knee And heard it, and I pass it on As it was told to me. There was a Copper Penny, And a little Copper Cent Well dead in love with him, and to The Church one day they went And married, and in course of time A Two Cent Piece was born, And then a silver Three Cent came Upon one happy morn. The Two Cent and the Three Cent Made a Nickel, and in time Each wed another Two or Three, Which made a shining Dime. And if you don't believe it— It is serious, so don't laugh! Two smiling children blessed their homes. And you can see, by adding, When another Nickel come The 'tout was a Dollar, and Another of the same Come visiting the Dollar, It's wonderful, but true, How rapidly the family Of Copper Penny grew! And so, I tell you, Children, Save your pennies, and in time You'll find them multiplying Can't be cent, and dime by dime; And if you treat your pennies Kindly as a Child should do, There'll come a time when dollars Will be very nice to You! (Richmond, New York) DOCTOR DILLARD'S EULOGY ON GENERAL ARMSTRONG. Hampton, Va. The Hampton Institute Founder's Day celebration brought together prominent leaders in education, business and religion. Dr. James Hardy Dillard president of the James and Slater Boards, rector of William and Mary College and member of the General Education Board directed the principal address. Dr. Dillard outlined the world wide influence of General Samuel Chamman Armour who founded Hampton in situe in 1868 and remained its chief until his death in 1893. Each year a distinguished American by name the Armstrong memorial address. Amone those who have stolen in prey four years ago: Franklin K. Lane Willim Bowen Tattf; Robert K. Nelson Woodrow Wilson and Lyman Abbott. General Armstrong was a missionary, and Dr. Dillard, "but he had something in him which missionaries sometimes lack. He had what we may call the democratic mind. He worked in the spirit of equality rather than in the spirit of condescension. With out his spirit he could never have done the work he did nor give it in position which he save, nor spend the influence which still abides in his memory. Not any more than there was in the heart of Abraham Lincoln was there in the heart of General Armstrong one drop of rancor or of desire of vengeance toward the Southern white people, high or low. His attitude was onely that of sympathy and cooperation. The South from the first respect of him. There is today hardly a superintendent of public schools in the whole Southern country who does not know of Hampton's work and does not seek the cooperation of Hampton and Hampton's graduates. In the old Reconstruction days General Armstrong said, 'This is a part of the war.' So now he would say, 'This is part of the war.' One thing I know he would not take the gloomy view I love to fancy that General Armstrong would say today something like this. I spirit, if not in woods.' "Yes, the world has been passing through serious times, days of unrest, days of distress; but good is going to come out of all the trouble. Through pain to gain. We mortal's will not learn any other way. Some are downcast, some disappointed, some resentful, all have felt the strain; but we know that the way of solution for all social problems is true: the two great forces of education and religion, school and church more light, more heart. Let us double and redouble our efforts for broader knowledge, wider thinking, deeper sympathy, kinder feeling. No matter what comes, let us trust to the two great commandment. God and good work. Let us have faith, faith that God still lives, that justice and judgment are still the habitation of His throne let us have hope, hope that we may be strengthened with the courage that we need to stand for the right with head erect; and let us have charity, charity for all men, high and low, rich and poor just and unjust, charity which never faileth, which, along with trust in God is the beginning and the triumph of wisdom."

You will help the cause. Going to heaven is all right,, but getting inside of that realm of glory is another matter. Most people think that goodness consists in having people believe that you are good, when you are bad. Find clothes on one's back, with no money in one's pocket is a mighty unpleasant feeling. Be polite and obliging colored folks to white folks and to your own people. It will pay in the long run. Some people believe in paying their debts and some other people believe in dodging their obligations. Some people like to be sick in order to lay claim to sympathy and the sick dues from societies and insurance companies. Running sometimes will hasten results, but at some other times, it will carry you past a glorious opportunity, which would bring you prosperity. The Republican Party is viewing with alarm and apprehension the empty treasury, that the Democratic Party is hauling over to it. Plans are under way to find just how, it can be filled up again. The number of people, who are con stantly looking to get something for nothing is constantly on the increase. As a rule they are badly fooled for they get nothing for something. We should obey all just laws and do all in our power to bring about the repeal of the unjust ones. There should be a lobby of colored folks to look after the interests of colored folks, both in he respective states o. this Union and at Washington. --- There are tens of thousands of children in this country raising themselves and are soon as they are large enough they go into the business of raising something that belongs to other people. People, who want to go to Africa should be permitted to sail on the Varmouth for that destination. Certainly five years should be the allotted time for them to think about returning to the United States of America again. ```markdown ``` Some people are never satisfied. If they are making six dollars per week, they want twelve, when they get twelve, they want twenty-four, when they get twenty-four, they want more money than that and legs work. When they lose their jobs and are pardonless, they then want to go it all over, again. As a matter of fact, the very thing they don't want, they will get and that is either a place in the poor house or they will be wrapped in a "wooden overcoat" in one of these companies. THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION, SOUTH. The announcement that Hon. C. Bascom Stemp has charge of the Republican election in the Southland --- to the end that racial lines shall be drawn in order to induce a certain element of white Democrats to come within the Republican Party is interesting information to those colored men, who have been insisting upon justice and the white men, who have been forward in supporting their claims in the premises. The argument is that by the increase in the Republican votes in Tennessee, Oklahoma Kentucky and a few other southern states, a fine opportunity presents it self for the building up of a substantial Republican Party in this section of the United States of America. Was the acquisition of the doctoral votes of Oklahoma, Tennessee and New Mexico essential to Republican success last November? Did the Demo crats who voted the Republican ticket do so as Republicans or did they do it with the primary purpose of re-buking their own party leaders, being ready and willing to return inside their own party lines, when their com plaints and graviances had been granted and satisfied? Looking at A from this angle, it will be seen that the hope of building up a permanent Republican Party in the Southland is a vain hope. Can a Republican Party be built up in the Southland or In any other part of the country with the fundamental principles of the Party eliminated or nullified? In plain English, can a hone-fide Republican Party be established in any of this or any other country with the race issue predominant and with the leaders and the rank and fill of that Party eliminated or ostracized? It is reported that Hon. C. Bascom Slemp believes that it can be done although no one has specifically quoted him as being outspoken upon this question. And right here, the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia and the Hon. Robert R. Church of Tennessee will appear in the Emei-light as champions of the rights of the colored people of the United States to participate in the Party's councils. How is that distinguished citizen of color to be unloaded in Georgia? He has practiced through the regularly constituted Committee of the Republican Party of that State to unload Chairman Goree (white, who saw fit to endorse and adopt the "new day" ideas of the Negro-haters inside of the Republican Party and we would like to know just how the National Republican Committee will unload Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson? The recent visit of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson to this State and the visits of Chairman J. R. Pollard to Washington would seem to indicate that a "storm is brewing" and that somebody is getting ready for it. It may as well be understood that any attempt to carry the Democratic principles into the Republican Party by anybody, North, South, East or West will cause trouble. Colored citizens will not stand for it and white citizens will not tolerate it. White Republicans can belong to the Republican Party inside of their white organizations, but colored Republicans should be permitted to belong to the Party inside of their colored or organizations, with a recognition as to offices and patronage in a greater or less proportion to their political strength in the premises. There should be no "all white" Republican Party or all black Republican Party, but the records of the past fifty years should be the basis of a union of forces where the fellow shipping of colored men by white men and the fellowshipping of white men by colored men should reduce all friction to a minimum and bring to the front one of the most peaceable political organizations in all of this land.

When a white jury sitting in judgment on a colored man, charged with criminally assaulting or attempting to criminally assault a white woman becomes hopeless dead-locked and fails to agree, it is a "safe bet" that the colored man is innocent. Yet this is the situation of affairs in the case of Henry Hart, a colored man from the neighborhood of Staunton, who has been incarcerated in the Henrico county jail here for safe keeping. The mob on the outside of the court-house during his trial threatened to take him from the officers of the law unless he was convicted. Another jury was quickly appalled and he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. Now, the Supreme Court of Appellts of Virginia has granted him a writ of error and will review the case. It is evident that some of the better class of white people in the neighborhood of Staunton have become interested in his case and will take steps to help him. We are surprised to know that conditions are so unsettled in President Woodrow Wilson's birthplace. This section of Virginia has been a garden spot for human rights and most of the colored people there live in un disturbed contentment. Just where this mob element hails from is a mystery. Certain it is that this lone Negro should be given THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA "Admired By Every Man and Envied By Every Woman"..... OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS a fair chance and if innocent sent on his way refoiling. The Supreme Court of Appeals, we believe will review the case on its merits and in the face of conditions prevailing during the trial of Hart will give him chance to which he is entitled. Certainly, a verdot of this kind should not be permitted to stand. RANK INJUSTIC. We do not remember of ever having recorded a case more inherently unjust than the one which afflicted one of the pastors of our largest churches. When we heard of it, we did not desire any denial from him. It bore the stamp of malleciousness up on its face and we had no hesitation in declaring it to be a falshoood. When a man lives in a community for more than half a decade, it will take more than one rumor to destroy his use/ulness, even though a police-officer who seems to be of the opinion that 'all comes look alike to me' should have been party to the issuance of a warrant that has humiliated this divinic and done untold injury to the reputation of a lifetime. In this punishment must be included his family. The presiding jurist at the Police Court dismissed the case and the newspapers of the city with hold all comment concerning the case. This is as it should have been. But, is there not some way that Col. William M. Myers can chide, that's element upon the police force, who promptly arrest people of prominence upon charges made by irresponsible parties and when the charges are of a kind and character which leaver the innocent victim under suspicion until the case is finally determined? During the same week, a respectable white man was charged with the moral delinquency of two white children. It proved to be a false charge and he was honorably discharged. This white man was the head of a family and they experienced unold suffering under the suspicion which affected the husband and father. Some time ago a respectable colored minifaler, who had seen oversens service was charged with an offense by mischievous white boys. These boys had been in the neighborhood of the Broad St. Station. We had been told the week before by a leading white citizen that a party of these boys had offered to carry his satchel as he was about to board a street car and had run away with it. Another boy had offered to catch the boy an get the satchel for twenty five cents and he paid this amount to secure his own property, knowing that they were in the conspiracy. But back to our subject. Outside of the expense to which this colored divine has been subjected is before him months of anguish, caused by the suspicion of some people, who may not have heard of his triumphant vindication in the Police Court of this city. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Richmond, Va., February 4, 1921 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Va.

SODOBERT C..SCOTT commenced business May 1, 1910 in partnership with Mr. John Lewis and the firm was Known as Lewis and Scott. ‘The location was at 2220 Kast Main Street. ‘This lastea until January, 1914, when Mr. R. C, Scott bought the interest of Mr. Lewis and the firm was known as Robert C, Scott, At that time, Mr. Scott had horse-drawn vehicles, his entire outfit consisting of about ten horses and four carriages. He was a young man branching out in business for himsdif and his experience came to him from his father, Mr. Alpheus Scott. Vrom that time, he steadily increased in business and the interesting fact in this connection is that young Scott began business with no money, ‘The man, who sold him the place, took his note for the purchase price, gave him money to ride on the strect car and some where to stay. Mr. Scott rented a house for himsdif and family from 1914 to 1916, when he purchased a lot and had a house built thereon, It would be well to state in this connection that young Scott married Miss Janie K. Epps of Petersburg in 1912. \ ‘They reside at 711 North ‘Twenty-ninth Street. Mr. Scott purchased his present business Jocation in December, 1919, whieh is now approximately valucd at ($15,000) Fifteen ‘Thousand Dollars, exclusive of his stock and automobiles. Ihe present location, as the accompanying illustrations will show is one of the most “up-to-date” establishments in this city. Te has day and night service.

In addition to this, Mr, Scott has two modern sedans, a touring car and a motor wagon, all of expensive manufacture and his funerals are noted for their fine appearance without gorgcousness, and his outfits show the skill and taste for which this young business man is noted, ‘Io show the extent of Mr. Scott's abitity to meet the demands of the pubic, he has handled as many as seven funerals in one day. Tt may be well to state that Mr, Scott is a licensed embalmer, having undergone an examination in 1908 and having received a Vicense to practice his profession.
