(By Madarikan Deniyi, Native of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa. New York, January 29. The great est money making scene ever attempted by any black man in the United States is the intest 'Liberian Liberty Bond', which was signed by Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York City a few months ago, without any seal of Liberian Government on it. President King and the Legislatures in Latteria, West Africa did not authorize Marcus Garvey to sell such a bond to poor and needy people in the United States and Canada. Many ignorant Negroes are selling their farms and houses in Canada to buy this 'Liberian Bond' and redeem Africa when the president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association himself could redeem the Negroes in British West Indies, who are getting eighty cents a day for hard labor. Some of the American and West Indies Negroes had bought lots of bonuses. The United State but only God knows when Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement will be able to pay these poor and needy people back their money because the Liberian Government is not responsible for; this money making scheme of Marcus Garvey according to my investigation through secret messages from West Africa. President King and the Legislatures in Liberia are not ignorant Negroes because they were educated in the best colleges and universities in Europe and America. They studied the African, European and American laws and know how to use them to improve the black Republic of Liberia better than Marcus Garvey who has never traveled in any part of Africa to study the condition in that continent. I do not believe that they will depend on the poor and needy Negroes in America to loan their money to the Liberian Government. It is true that abriel Johnson, the Mayer of Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa was cleaved as Potentate of the U. N. I. A. in New York city last August 1920 but it would be impossible for him to authorize Marcus Garvey to sell such a Liberian Liberty bond to the Negroes in the United States and Canada without the consent of President King and the Legislatures. I discovered through my investigation in New York city that the U. N. I. A. is to can the Liberian Government two million dollars ($2,000,000.) This money is to be used for the purpose of building beautiful houses, streets railroads, telegraph lines, subways, roads, cars, ammonoide factories, schools machine shops, colleges electric plants, oblong Emes, universities and immigration factories to kill all the white people in Liberia. To my great surprise, I read in one of the American newspapers that Marcus Garvey was born at St. Jamaica, British West Indies about 1850. How can he from the sugar cane plantation of these Islands be able to colonize Africa and establish a new black republic for the C. N. L., in Liberia, West Africa? Will the resident and legislatures stand for such conspiracy in Liberia? I should try no because they won't stand for me unbridled audacity of this Marcus Garvey. The greatest trouble for him and his followers is that they talk so much. That's why lots of Negroes lost their good positions in New York in a account of Garvey's conspiracy but it seems to me that Marcus Garvey is sugering for 'cerebral spinal nigrisis, and needs a specialist to examine his cranium cavity. It has been published and advertised in the Negro World that the Black Star Line Steamship corporation could send a ship to Liberia this January 1921 but January is almost gone and the steamship Yarmouth is still poked down at the dry dock in New York. When will this corporation quit ing the mails to defraud poor and cedy people in Africa by selling them their shares? I am not of posing the American and West Indies Negro for having their own ships to car people to Africa but will oppose any steamship corporation in Amert that will use the mails to deceive the natives in Africa. Therefore I will advise the gatives in Africa not buy any more shares in the Black Star Line unless Marcus Garvey preset of the corporation can prove them that he bought and paid for the steamship Yarmouth. This ship can old wooden ship and too old to take any safe voyage from New York city to Liberia. West Africa on high soas. The Black Star Line steamship corporation had sold (Continued on Fourth Page) DEATH OF ONE OF LYNCHBURG'S MOST PROMINENT AND POPULAR CITIZENS. Historic Court Street Baptist Church was the secure Friday after noon, January 28th, of the last rites for Mrs. Annie Singleton Jones, wife of Mr. James M. M. Jones, pro proprietor of the Manhattan Hotel. The vast auditorium was crowded with the sympathizing friends of the family. In the unavoidable absence of the pastor Rev. V. N. Johns, the conduit of the obsequies fell to Rev. L. O. Lewis pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist church. After an illness extending over two months, Mrs. Jones fell asleep Tuesday evening, January 25th, just when she was apparently making her greatest gains toward recovery. As she had seemed to be improving daily her numerous friends were profoundly shocked and grieved by the suddenness of her demise. Her sisters and brothers who had been summoned to her bedside at the beginning of her illness, had returned to their several homes, and had to be recalled as soon as conveniently might be Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell of Washington D. C. Miss Mayne Singleton of Philadelphia, Mr. Landon Singleton of Hot Springs, Va. Mr. Theoderick J. Jones of Atlantic City, N. J., Mrs. Ethel Stokes Moran, and Miss Josie Stokes of Washington D. C., Mrs. Malissa S. Paco of Bristol, Tenn., and Mr. Munford Johnson of New Haven, Coun. Messrs. Dabney and Andrew Singleton, Miss Lila Jones and Mrs. Maria Merchant were already on the scene. The pal-bearers were: Messrs. Nigelah P. Berry, Albert G. Langhorne, James H. Majors, Daniel Butler, Chris H. Stewart and Warwick Multon. The flower bearers were Messrs. William H. Hatcher, Samuel Carter and George Mayo and Madames Eliza Hatcher, Maggie L. B. Willis, Lillie Rhodes Thompson, A. N. Lushington and Mary Lou Johnson. The automobile procession arrived at the Church priority at 3:30 P. M. The processional was read by Rev. C. L. Wells of the V. T. S. College, scripture read by Rev. C. G. C. Gledd pastor of the Rivermont Baptist church, Sevena other ministers were present. The touching solo: "Face to Face," was beautifully rendered by Mr. Munford Johnson. Resolutions of the Citronals club, a social organization of the old regime, whispered Mr. William H. Hatcher was president and Mr. McG. Higgisonbotham was secretary were read by Mr. Daniel Burter. Numerous telegrams and other messages of condolence were received from friends in distant parts of the country among them being one from Miss K. V. Kirk of Gimbel Bros. Philadelphia. The pervading paths of the solos: "Eternity," welled up out of the voice of Mrs. Frances Cox, Rev. Lewis delivered a feeling, cone and appropriate sermon from the text: "But it shall come to pass that at evening time there shall be light." Zachariah 147.7. He stressed the fact that while Mrs. Jones' public life bought her into daily contact with every phase of humanity, she remained gentle, friendly and kindly to the last act, and her presiding virtues shone unspotted. Verily at evening time it shall be light. The consultations of the beautiful solit "No burdens. Vonder" were impressed upon the audience by the rich times of Mr. Pauld Johnson. The opening and closing hymns beautifully rendered by the Court 342d Choir were: "Rock of Agos" and "I am Thine O Lord." On account of the coldness of the weather, the burial rites of the Court of Calanthe and the Eastern Star were performed at the church, the former presided over by Mrs. Martin Campbell and Mrs. Martha W. Evans and the latter by Dr. A. N. Lashington and Mrs. Elizabeth Tinsley. The rites were impressive for the last degree. The hymns sung by the two organizations of which Mrs. Jones was a member were: "Sister, Thou West Mild and Lovely," and "I Would not Live Always." The funeral arrangements were in charge of Higganbotham and Strange. From beginning to end the function was marked by perfect smoothness. The floral designs which have never been surpassed here for beauty and elegance, testified to the purity of the departed, and the loving esteem, in which she was held by her numerous friends. Her "Narrow House" was a veritable mound of beauty. The lingering rays of the set sun lovingly carved the beautiful petals; and in all his course, he has scarcely shed his evening benediction upon a lovlief scene. His long lines of golden light formed a shining path from the flowers of earth to those blooming in the Better Land. And yet, O Sun, what is thy glory to hers? Thou purest thy radiance upon her tomb; but her soul dims even thy enligence. It will shine on and on, when thou rolled to the cold and cold. As to her mortal tenement—Requiescat in pince.—D. B. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921. HON. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON RETURNS TO ATLANTA. OUR LEADERSHIP AND THE RIGHTS OF THE RACE AUTOMOBILE (By L. R. Lautier.) The Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia Member of the Republican National Committee, fulfilled his promise made in an interview with a representative of the Association Negro Press that he would return to Georgia and reiterate the charges which he had made before the Senate Committee Investigating PreConvention Campaign Expenditures, who she returned to Atlanta and adressed a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee on Friday, January 21, 1921. In his testimony before this Inves Gating Committee Col. Johnson tesified that 85 per cent of the colored citizenry of Georgia, who are entitled to vote under the laws of the State are disfranchised by Democratite intrigue and intimidation. He then he came the object of Democratite news paper attacks in his State and was made an important subject of debate in the "white primary" fight between the political forces of the vilelite Tom Watson and Clark Howell, editor of The Atlanta Constitution, in which odious comparisons were made by Tom Watson between the two national committeemen in favor of the Republican. "Dame Rumor" then had it that rcoloned 'Johnson was afraid to return to Georgia and when interviewed by the Associated Negro Press, he declared that he would return to Georgia and say the very things that he had said in Chicago and that he would extend an invitation to the editors of certain daily papers that had been bitter in their denunciation of him to be personally present and have reopen tatives there that they might hear his remarks. Col. Johnson returned to Atlanta on the evening of January 20th. He had been away since the last of May engaged in public speaking and other campanion work; and when he put in his appearance at the meeting of the State Central Committee held in Atlanta, on January 21st, wild applause greeted him and rules were suspended while the members of the Committee white and black, and the several hundred visitors in attendance, at this meeting crowded around to shake hands with him. Later in the after noon his address caused storm after storm of applause. In the course of his address, he stated: "I reserve to myself the right to form my own conclusions about politics and the conduct of political parties and when I advised friends in a distant city that practiced $5 per cent of the Negroes in Georgia were disfranchised. I spoke the truth." With reference to Lynchburg, he remarked: "They (re)请愿 to the Press) said I said something about Lynchburg. It stands to the degree of any state that suffers it and let murders so unpunished Greater then the question of the tariff, greater than the question of relationship under the league of nations with Juno Shavla, is the absolute safety of the universities under the Constitution that every man's life shall be safe and never taken away except by due process of law." Taking up the matter of his residence in Washington, he said: "You if you want to know why I am in Washington I am right there and promise to居 right on the ankles of Congress: the Congress that will be convened by Warren G. Hirling President of the United States, until this Congress writes on the Senate books a law to put the humann's rope around the neck of any man who would place that rope around any man's neck, of whatever hue without due process of law. Think God, we are going to live under a President who invoked Almighty God to witness his committal, when Warren G. Hirling, at Marion Ohio, on the 22nd day of July (in his Address of Acceptance) asked God to witness that he pledged himself, when he became President to use his influence to place on the statute books a law making mob violence a crime in this country." With reference to the Ku Klux Klan which was reorganized at Stone Mountain, Georgia, just twenty miles from Atlanta, in 1915 and chartered by the State, he said: "Inidentally, the Republican Party is going to pay a little attention to the Ku Klux Klan. I have the petition already framed, and when the State invites on the 5th of March to confirm the cabinet nominations of President Harding—I have the petition to go to the Postmaster-General to ask him to refuse the use of the United States mails to the Ku Klux Klan. Oh! God! Why give legal to mortality to a criminal band like that? It will not be,—it is not going to be under a Republican administration. W. P. BURRELL HERE Mr. W. P. Burrell, who is in the social service work at Newark, N. J. has been in the city for several weeks attending to business. He was looking well. FOUR LEADERSHIP AND THE RIGHTS OF THE RACE WEIGHTED IN THE BALANCE. (Nortok, Va., Journal and Guide) The Richmond Planet discusses at length our article on the reduction of Southern representation in Congress, in our issue of December 25, but nowhere questions the correctness of our constitution that Congress has no power to legalize the right of a State to disfranchise a part of its citizenship and accept the penalty of reduction of its representation as we do not derive our franchise right from Congress but from the American people by a three-fourths vote of all of the States and that an enabling clause in the not conferring the suffrage should not be construed as conferring upon Congress the right to destroy the suffrage right conferred. We do not stultify ourselves when we declare that the Supreme Court would declare a reduction act as an constitutional because we affirm in the same paragraph that the Supreme Court has always construed legislation based upon the Civil War amendments against rather than in favor of the Afro-American beneficiaries of those the amendment we naturally expected Editor Mitchell and others to draw being that we are disposed to trust the question of a reduction act to the judgment of the Supreme Court. The barned child dreads the fire. What appears to trouble Editor Mitchell most is that we should have told the truth about the whole matter and drawn the logical conclusion in public discussion rather than in secret "behind closed doors," the thinks that when a majority of our alleged leaders claimed for vote... of Southern representation the Journal and Guide should accept their view of the matter rather than its own. This is a very interesting, not to say bizarre view of the matter. We hold to our convictions even if we stand alone in doing so, and when we have the facts on our side we are satisfied to be alone, if necessary. We are not bound to follow Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia is construing the Constitution or Mr. Isaac N. Nutter of Athaste City, New Jersey, (and not T. G. Nutter of West Virginia as the Planet quotes us.) nor the Association for the Advance mont of Colored People, nor the Equal Rights League if we do not think they are right in any myter of law or principle affecting the Afro-America can people as the race has not delegated any power of leadership to them. ALABAMA OFFICERS OUTWIT MOR BENT ON LANCHING. Tahleen Ala, Feb. 13. Deputies sneaked in in making their way through the country to Amuristan where they arrived early this morning with Teague Cunningham, color of who the yesterday cut Patrolman Lance Holbs to death with a razor and who was threatened by a mob at Ochen, when officers attempted to board a train with the prisoner at that place. Sheriff Cornett announced today he was convicted that Cunningham alone was responsible for the officer's death and that the story told by the man to the effect that he held Holbs while another one did the cutting was untrue. Cunningham ordinarily a peaceable-scorred man is declared by officers have been dark when the police attempted to arrest him and was cut to death with a razor. He was still under the influence of liquor at midnight last night they said. Birmingham, Feb. 13.—Teague Cunningham, colored charged with killing a Talladega policeman yesterday was brought to the Jefferson County jail here tonight for safekeeping. LOST MOTHER I desire to know the whereabouts of my mother and brothers. My mothers name is Annie Bryant. My brothers names are Abe and John Bryant. When last heard of they were living in Witheville, Va., about six years ago. Any information concerning their whereabouts will be gladly received by me. MRS. LAURA BRYANT, 2205 Pease Avenue, Houston, Texas. WANTS A WIFE. Bonita Arizona. January 22.—A colored man wants a wife.

Norrell Paige in a Smash-up Mr. Albert V. Norrell, Jr., and Mr. L. D. Puige saw fit to make a business trip to Hopewell, Va. Wed night afternoon at about 4 o'clock by automobile with Mr. W. T. Gray is chauffeur and Mr. Henry Gray and Waverley Hatcher as companions. The two Grays occupied the front seat. All went well in the closed sofa to the city, but upon the return trip as the party came to the top of the hill outside of Petersburg, Va., on the Petersburg Pike something seemed to be wrong and Mr. Gray got out of the car and fixed it. The party had gotten only about three miles further when the steering gear went wrong and the car attained a terrific speed. BROKE TELEGRAPH POLE This increased, the car swerving and narrowly missing a telegraph pole on the right, and the concrete bridge over Swift Creek. It swerved suddenly to the left and snapped in two a one foot in diameter telegraph pole, going over a seven feet enbankment and narrowly escaping going in to Swift creek which was swollen and which was deep enough to have drowned the party like rats in a trap. It was then found that Norrel and Price were badly cut in the face. Price being more so as it is under stood that he went through the glass compartment which separates the passengers from the chauffeur. ELECTRIC CAR FOR RETURN TRIP The injured men caught an electric line car and returned to Piersburg, where medical attention was secured. They returned to Richmond by the same route. Paige would not hear about returning to Richmond in an automobile. Although they were bandaged and in a useful condition, all reported for work the next day, W. "Cray and his brother who sat on the front seat were uninjured. The car, although badly damaged, was brought to this city where it is under repair in the garage on East Lehigh street between St. James and First streets. Mr. Gray states that his foot missed the foot brake and this presented his stopping the car. DON'T MISS THE POLE Mr. Thrice states that he may have put on the foot brake but he did not press that twelve inch telegraph pole that was snapped off like a pinpost and he did not miss those cuts and bruises that now ornament his physio-omy. MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS HERE ON THE 18TH. Miss Nnamie H. Burroughs of the National Training School for Women and Girls Washington, D. C., will speak at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Friday night, February 18, 1921 at 8 o'clock. The meeting will be held in interest of Miss Nnamie Burroughs School. Mr. Nnamie L. Walker will deliver the preservation address. KANSAS MOB TRIES TO TAKE OFFICER WHO SHOT OIL FIELD WORKER. Wichita, Kan., Feb. 13. A mob of between 400 and 500 persons at Augusta, Kan., twenty miles east of here is threatening an attack on the police station following the probable fatal shooting last night of Charles Forman an oil field worker and the alleged beating and arrest of his brother Everett. Forman is said to have been shot by a plain clothes officer in the business section of Augusta near midnight last when two detectives attempted to arrest the brothers. Early tonight a mob formed and members expressed their intention of attacking the station. The mob is stationed across the street from the station and no effort has been made to disperse it. Every officer in Butler County is reported to have been summoned to Augusta and it was stated over long distance telephone that efforts were being made to have Governor Allen call on the Wichita companies of the National Guard. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 13. When in formed of the disturbance at Augusta late tonight, Governor Henry J. Allen immediately instructed Adjutant General Charles I. Martin to get in touch with officials at Augusta and to take any action necessary to prevent a possible lynching there. WANT A FARMER Wanted—A farmer. The right practical man will find a first class paying job by applying to A. P. DAVIDSON, 122 N. Michigan Ave. Atlantic City, N. J. ENTENSION CLASS SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SERVICE AND PUBLIC HEALTH. Attention of all parties interested in the great problems of Social Welfare Work and impressed therapy, are urged to seek information concerning the Extension Class of the School of Social Work and Public Health, now in progress of opening at the Community House, 2 W. Marshall street. A class in this study, covering eight weeks, was held during last term; many teachers, nurses and par-ties interested in welfare activities, availed themselves of this first opportunity to learn of the work. Knowledge that is of such vital importance to other races should prove of just so much importance to this race of ours and Social Service and Public Health work is eventually to revolutionize all races from morat, religious, health and educational standpoints. Other races have been turning out their trained workers, the scale and method of work, gradually, but steadily improving such year now, for a number of years; this school is the local Negro's first opportunity to enter an accredited school of Social Service Training, the course identical with that given members of the white races and by the same instructors. What are our young people, teachers, church workers, missionaries and others going to do with the opportunity? The terms begin, Tuesday, February 15, 1921 at 8 o'clock at the Community House, 2 West Marshall street. Satisfactory arrangements will be made us to pay of tuition. Two years ago, January 1949 the Community House opened its doors with one worker; January 1921 finds four employed, one on the pay roll of the city, one on that of the State, both members of last year's Extension class. What one has done you can do, and this but goes to prove that an effort at preparedness, it matters not of how small a beginning must eventually be counted on the credit side. Help the Community House to prove that the Negro wants everything for the betterment of the masses that any other race wants. Come Tuesday, February 15, 1921 at 8 o'clock P. M. and register. --- Mrs. Houretta C. Heath, of Pinkland Iphia, Pa. passed through the city last Sunday evening, to Charlotte, N. C. White here she was the guest of Mrs. L. G. King of South Richmond.

Slyvester, Ga., February 9. At a mass meeting of citizens of Slyvester and Worth county held last night a resolution was made immediately adopted addressed to Governor McCrary, of Indiana, condemning mob violence and disregard of ... and assuring the governor that if the Negro, Mace Giddens, held in that state for the killing of a deputy sheriff in Worth County, is returned to Georgia he will be given every protection and a epoyt, fair and impartial trial. W A. Gudhrie a citizen of Indiana who was sent by Governor McCrary to Georgia, to investigate conditions in Worth County before making a decision as to extradition of the Negro was present at the mass meeting and was handed a copy of the resolutions to take back with him. At a hearing before the Indiana County officers, accompanied by an attorney went to that state with requisition papers for the Negro, the governor stated that he would with hold his decision until he could send a committee to Georgia to investigate conditions. The Negro's attorneys can exploded in Indiana, asserted their patient would be in danger of lynch law if returned to this state. The governor further stated that if his investigations should convince him that the Negro would be given proper protection and a fair trial he would, at once deliver him to the Georgia authorities. The Negro is being held in jail at Crown Point, Indiana. LOUISIANA SHERIFF BUSY; FORGOT TO HANG FRIEND New Orleans, La., February $. With apparently no prudent decision him, Attorney General A. V. Coco is tonight trying to determine the legal status of Loudie Eaton, colored of Monroe, Louisiana, the date of his execution on February 4 for the murder of a white man was completely forgotten by Shewf T. A. Grant of Ouachita Parish. The forgetfulness of the sheriff, because so expressed in other matters that he entirely overlooked the scheduled hanging of the colored man until after the date had passed his recollection of the most intensely interesting legal questions ever met in this State according to legal authorities whose opinions in regard to the man's status are badly divided. The Attorney General finally admitts that he does not know what the man's status is—whether he is all ready deeply dead in the eyes of the law and should go free by reason of having his life once already to poppify with the setting of the date of his execution by the Governor, or whether the man must yet be executed in execution of his crime. He states how ever, that he will therefore examine all cases in the records which may have a bearing on the matter before recommending a decision. The peculiar situation came to the attention on the receipt of a letter by Governor John M. Parker from Shreve Grant, in which the sheriff asserted that on account of a rush of work, both civil and criminal be uninterestedly overlooked the fact that the Governor, as required by law, had dated the date of the municipal for February 4, and asked what he should do under the civil unanticipated. The Governor promptly referred the matter to the Attorney General for a decision and the Attorney General now says he is very much at sea. Another complication in the case is the fact that an application for a com- mitation of the sentence to life imprisonment is now pending before the board of pardons. A MOST PLEASANT EVENING. The Executive Board of the independent at Order of St. Luke was in session last week at their palatial and recently renovated hall and the event was observed on Friday night, February 11th, 1921 by a gathering of the citizens to meet and greet them. It was a magnificent success from "share to finish" and it is needless to say that Mrs. Maggie L. Walker her self was the centre of attraction, although she took the role of hostess and toast mistress. The conclusion of the gathering was a fine banquet served by Mr. James H. Prayer in his masterly manner. Many addresses were delivered by the visitors and although the exercises were scheduled to commence at 7:30 P. M. it was 11 P. M. before the joyous party bid farewell to the St. Lakes and the St. Luke Hall. It was facetiously called a "got together" meeting, but there will never be any failure in getting people in Richmond, together or any where else, when such an event is staged by one who is mistress of the business.

RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVIII, NO.15 LIBERIAN LIBERTY LOAN Negroes Are Selling Their Houses and Farms to Make Mareus Garvey Rich in America. (By Madarikan Donlyi, Native of Lagos, Niggerian, West Africa. New York, January 29.—The great est money making scheme ever attempted by any black man in the United States is the latest "Liberian Liberty Bond," which was signed by Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York City a few months ago, without any seal of Liberian Government on it. President King and the Legislatures in Liberia, West Africa did not authorize Marcus Garvey to sell such a bond to poor and needy people in the United States and Canada. Many ignorant Negroes are selling their farms and houses in Canada to buy this "Liberian Bond" and redeem Africa when the president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association himself couldn't redeem the Negroes in British West Indies, who are getting eightteen cents a day for hard labor. Some of the hard workers in West Indies Negroes had bought lots of land, but only God knows when Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement will be able to pay those poor and needy people back their money because the Liberian Government is not responsible for this money making scheme of Marcus Garvey according to my investigation through secret messages from West Indies. President King and the Legislature in Liberia are not ignorant Negroes because they were educated in the best colleges and universities in Europe and America. They studied the African, European and American laws and know how to use them to improve the black Republic of Liberia better than Marcus Garvey who has never traveled in any part of Africa to study the condition in that continent. I do not believe that they will depend on the poor and needy Negroes in America to loan their money to the Liberian Government. It is true that Gabriel Johnson, the Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa was elected as Potentate of the U. N. I. A. in New York city last August 1920 but it would be impossible for him to authorize Marcus Garvey to sell such a Liberian Liberty bond to the Negroes in the United States and Canada with the aid of the Legislature and the Legistatures. I discovered through my investigation in New York city that the U. N. I. A. is to can the Liberian Government two million dollars, ($200,000.) This money is to be used for the purpose of building beautiful houses, streets, railroads telegraph lines, subways, rollley cars automobile factories, schools machine shops, colleges etc. planties; cablegran lines, universities and ammunition factories to kill all the white people in Liberia. To my great surprise, I read in some of the American newspapers that Marcus Garvey was born at St. Ann, Jamaica, British West Indies Lout 1885. How can he from the island of Jamaica these shades be reborn African and be new black republic for the U. N. L., in Liberia, West Africa? Will the president and Legislatures stand for such conspiracy in Liberia? I should say no because they won't stand for no unbridled audacity of this Marcus Garvey. The greatest trouble for him and his followers is that they talk no much. That's why lots of Negroes got their good positions in New York and it seems to me that Marcus Garvey is sugering for 'corsoral spinal sinitis, and needs a specialist, toamine his carium cavity. It has been published and advertised in the Negro World that the Black Star Line Steamship corporation could send a ship to Liberia this January 1921 but January is almost gone and the steamship Yarmouth is still poked down at the dry dock in New York. When will this corporation quit sing the mails to defraud poor and body people in Africa by soliciting them shares? I am not opposing e American and West Indies Negro for having their own ships to car people to Africa but will oppose steamship corporation in Ameri that will use the mails to deceive natives in Africa. Therefore I will advise the natives in Africa not buy any more shares in the Black Star unless Marcus Gervay prest of the corporation can prove them that he bought and paid for a steamship Yarmouth. This ship is old wooden ship and too old to take any voyage from New York city to Liberia, West Africa on high soas.

Johns, the conduct of the observers fell to Rev. L. O. Lewis pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist church. After an illness extending over two months, Mrs. Jones fled asleep Tuesday evening, January 25th, just when she was apparently making her greatest gains toward recovery. As she had seemed to be improving daily her numerous friends were profoundly shocked and grieved by the suddenness of her demise.

The opening and closing hymns beautifully rendered by the Court Street Choir were: "Rock of Ages," and "I am Thine O Lerd." On account of the coldness of the weather, the burial rites of the Court of Calanthe and the Eastern Star were performed at the church, the former presided over by Mrs. Marcia Baldwin and Mrs. Martha W. Erans and the latter by Mrs. Lushington and Mrs. Elizabeth Thinley. The rites were impressive to the last degree. The hymns sung by the two organizations of which Mrs. Jones was a member were: "Sister, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely" and "I Would not Live Always." The mineral arrangements were in chapels of tomb and Shrine. From beginning to end funerum was marked by perfect smoothness.

His long lines of golden light formed a shining, path from the flowers of earth to those blooming in the Better Land. And yet, O Sun, what is thy glory to hers? Thou purest thy radiance upon her tomb; but her soul dims even thy effulgence. It will shine on on and on, when thou rolled fork and cold. As to her mortal tenement—Requiescat in parce—D. B. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921. HON, HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON RETURNS TO ATLANTA. (By L. R. Lautter.) The Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia Member of the Republican National Committee, fulfilled his promise made in an interview with a representative of the Association Negro Press that he would return to Georgia and retake the charge which he had made before the Senate Committee Investigating Pro-Covenation Campaign Expenditures, who she returned to Atlanta and adressed a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee on Friday., January, 21, 1921. In his testimony before this Investigation Committee Col. Johnson testified that 85 per cent of the colored citizenry of Georgia, who are entitled to vote under the laws of the State are disfranchised by Democratic in the state. He also mentioned the object of Democratic news paper attacks in his State and was made an important subject of debate in the "white primary" fight between the political forces of the vrirolic Tom Watson and Clark Howell, editor of The Atlanta Constitution, in comparison were made by Tom Watson between the two longstanding committees in favor of the Republican. "Dame Rumor" then had it that rColonel' Johnson was afraid to return to Georgia and when interviewed by the Associated Nogro Press, he declared that he would return to Georgia and say the very things that he had said in Chicago and that he would extend an invitation to the editors of certain daily papers that had been hit in their demolition of him to be personally present and have representatives there that they might hear his remarks. Col. Johnson returned to Atlanta on the evening of January 20th. He had been away since the last of May engaged in public speaking and other campaign work; and when he put in appearance at the meeting of the State Department Committee held in Atlanta, on January 21st, wild amplaples greeted him and rules were suspended while the members of the Committee—white and black, and the several hundred visitors in attendance this meeting crowded around to shake hands with him. Later in the after noon his address caused storm after storm of amplauses. In the course of his address, he stated: "I reserve to myself the right to form my own conclusions about politics and the conduct of political parties and when I advised friends in a distant city that practically SS per the egregios in Georgia were disframed, I spoke the truth." With reference to Loyola, he remarked: "They preferring to the Press) said I said something about lynching. It stands to the disgrace of any state that suffers it and let murders go unpunished. Greater than the question of the tariff, greater than the question of relationship under the league of nations with Jago-Slavia, it constitute safety of the guarantees under constitution that every man's Life shall be safe and never be taken away except by the process of law." Taking up the matter of his residence in Washington, he said: "You, if you want to know why I am in Washington—I am right there and propose to root right on the ankles of Congress—the Congress that will convene by Warren G. Harding and convene by United States—until that Congress is united to use books a law to put the man's臂 around the neck of any man who would place that rope around any man's neck, of whatever hue, without due process of law. Thank God, we are going to live under a President who invoked Almighty God to witness his commitalt, when Warren G. Harding, at Marion Ohio, on the 22nd day asked God his address of Acceptance) asked God his address of Acceptance) asked himself, when he became President, use his influence to place on the statute books a law making mob violence a crime in this country." With reference to the Ku Klux Klan which was reorganized at Stone Mountain, Georgia, just twenty miles from Atlanta, in 1915 and chartered by the State, he said: "I trustdently, the Republican Party is going to pay a little attention to the Ku Klux Klan. I have the petition already framed, and when the Senate convenes on the 5th of March to confirm the cabinet nominations of President Harding—I have the petition to go to the Postmaster-General to ask him to refuse the use of the United States mails to the Ku Klux Klan. Oh! God! Why give legal immortality to a criminal band like that? It will not be—it is not going to be a Republican administration. W: P. BURRELL HERE Mr. W. P. Burroll, who is in the social service work at Newark, N. J. has been in the city for several weeks attending to business. He was looking well. "OUR LEADERSHIP AND THE RIGHTS OF THE RACE WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE." (Norfolk, Va, Journal and Guide). The Richmond Planet discusses at length our article on the reduction of Southern representation in Congress, in our issue of December 25, but it nowhere questions the correctness of our constitution that Congress has no power to legalize the right of a State to disfranchise a part of its citizenship and accept the penalty of reduction of its representation as we do not derive our franchise right from Congress but from the American poe but from the American poe of all of the States and that an institution in the act conferring the suffrage should not be construed as conferring us on Congress the right to destroy the suffrage right conferred. We do not stultify ourselves when we declare that the Supreme Court would declare a reduction not as unconstitutional because we affirm in the same paragraph that the Supreme Court always abandons the legislation based on the Civil War movements against rather than in favor of the Afro-American beneficies of those amendment the inference we naturally expected Editor Mitchell and others to draw being that we are not cis-mosed to trust the question of the Supreme Court to the judgment of the Supreme Court. The burned child dreads the fire. What appears to trouble Editor Mitchell most is that we should have told the truth about the whole matter and drawn the logical conclusion in public discussion rather than in secret "behind closed doors." He blinks that when a majority of our alleged leaders craml for our reduction of Southern representation the Journal and Guide should accept their view of the matter rather than its own. This is interesting, but we say bizarre view of the situation. We should conventions even if we stand alone in doing so, and when we have the facts on our side we are satisfied to be alone, if necessary. We are not bound to follow Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia is construing the Constitution or Mr. Isaac N. Nutter of Atitude City, New Jersey, (and not T. G. Nutter of West Virginia as the Planet quotes us.) nor the Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, nor the Equal Rights League if we do not think they are right in any matter of law or principle affecting the Afro-Ameri can people as the race has not delegated any power of leadership to them. ALABAMA OFFICERS OUTWIT MOB BENT ON LYCHING. Taliboga, Ala., Feb. 13.—Deputies succeeded in making their way through the country to Anniston where they arrived early this morning with Teague Cunningham, colored who late yesterday cut Patrolman Eugene Hobbs to death with a razor and who was threatened by a mob at Odean when officers attempted to board a train with the prisoner at that place. Sheriff Cornett announced today he was convinced that Cunningham alone was responsible for the officer's death that the story told by the man to the effect that he held Hobbs while another one did the cutting was untrue. Cunningham ordinarily a peaceable scared man is declared by officers he have been drunk when the police man attempted to arrest him and was cut to death with a razor. He was still under the influence of liquor at midnight last night they said. Birmingham, Feb. 13—Teague Cuningham, colored charged with killing a Tahoe policeman yesterday in a shooting, jail here tonight for safekeeping, LOST MOTHER.

Norroll-Paige in a Smash-up. Mr. Albert V. Norrell, Jr., and Mr. L. D. Pulge saw fit to make a business trip to Hopewell, Va., Wed night afternoon at about 4 o'clock by automobile with Mr. W. T. Gray a chauffeur and Mr. Henry Gray and Waverly Hatcher as companions. The two Grays occupied the front seat. All went well in the closed sedan to the city, but upon the return trip as the party came to the top of the hill outside of Petersburg, a., on the Petersburg. Pike once drove to the harbor and Mr. Gray got out of the car and fixed it. The party had gotten only about three miles further when the steering gear went wrong and the car attained a terrific speed. BROKE TELEGRAPH POLE This increased, the car swerving and narrowly missing a telegraph pole on the right and the concrete bridge over Swift Creek. It swerved suddenly to the left and snapped in two a one foot in diameter telegraph pole, going over a seven feet embankment and narrowly escaping going in to Swift creek which was swollen and which was deep enough to have drowned the raft of refuge in tramp boats found the Norrel and Paley were badly cut in the face, Paige being more so as it is under stood that he went through the glass compartment which separates the passengers from the chauffeur. ELECTRIC CAR FOR RETURN TRIP The injured men caught an electric fire car and returned to Piersburg, where medical attention was secured. They returned to Richmond by the same route. Palge would not hear about returning to Richmond in order to be injured in a car accident and in a painful condition, all reported for work the next day. W. T. Gray and his brother who sat on the front seat were uninjured. The car, although badly damaged, was brought to this city where it is under repair in the garage on East 10th Street. First streets, Mr. Gray states that his foot missed the foot brake and this prevented his stopping the car. DIDN'T MISS THE POLE Mr. Paley states that he may have missed the foot brake but he did not miss that twelve inch telegraph pole that was sapped off like a pipe-stem and did not miss those cuts and bruises that now ornament his physiology.

KANSAS MOB TRIES TO TAKE OFF OF THE OIL FIELD WORKER Wichita, Kan., Feb. 13.—A mob of between 400 and 500 persons at Augusta, Kan., twenty miles east of here is threatening an attack on the police station following the probable fatal shooting last night of Charles Forman an oil field worker and the alleged beating and arrest of his brother Everett. Forman is said to have been shot by a plain clothes officer in the bushness section of Augusta near midnight last when two detectives attempted to arrest the brothers. Forty tonight a mob formed and members expressed their intention of attacking the station. The mob is stationed across the street from the station and no effort has been made to displace. Every officer in Butler County is reported to have been summoned to Augusta and it was stated over long distance telephone that efforts were being made to have Governor Alison call out the Wichita companies of the National Guard. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 13.—When in formed of the disturbance at Augusta late tonight, Governor Henry J. Allen immediately instructed Adjutant General Charles I. Martin to get in touch with officials at Augusta and to take any action necessary to prevent a possible lynching there. WANT A FARMER Wanted—A farmer. The right practical man will find a first class paying job by applying to A. F. DAVIDSON, 122 N. Michigan Ave. Atlantic City, N. J. EXTENSION CLASS SCHOOL OR SOCIAL SCHOOL AND PUBLIC HEALTH Attention of all parties interested in the great problems of Social Welfare Work and impressed thereby, are urged to seek information concerning the Extension Class of the School of Social Work and Public Health, now in progress of opening at the Community House, 2 W. Marshall street. A class in this study, covering eight weeks, was held during last term; many teachers, nurses and parties interested in welfare activities, availed themselves of this first opportunity to learn of our work. Importance that the life of vital importance to other races should prove of just so much importance to this race of ours and Social Service and Public Health work is in eventually 'o revolutionize all races from moral, religious, health and educational standpoints. Other races have been burning out their trained workers, the scale and method of work, gradually, but steadily improving such year now, for a number of years; this school is the local Negro's first opportunity to enter an accredited home school of Social Service Training, the course identical with that given members of the white races and by the same instructors. What are our young people, teachers, church workers, missionaries and others going to do with the opportunity? Two years ago, January 1919 the Community House opened its doors with one worker; January 1921 finds four employed, one on the pay roll of the city, one on that of the State, both members of last years' Extension class. What one has done you can do, and this but goes to prove that an effort at preparedness, it matters not of how small a beginning must eventually be counted by the reeds do. Help the Community House to prove that the Negro wants everything for the betrayment of the masses that any other race wants. Come Tuesday, February 15, 1921 at g o'clock P. M. and register.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS GEORGIA ASSURES THE INDIANA GOVERNOR OF NO VIOLENCE. Slyvester, Gn. February S.—At a mass mooting of citizens of Slyvester and Worth county held last night a resolution was unanimously adopted addressed to Governor McCrary, of Indiana, condemning mob violence and disregard of law and assuring the governor that If the Negro, Mace Gildons, held in that state for the killing of a deputy sheriff in Worth County, is returned to Georgia he will be given every protection and a permit and impartial trial. W. A Guarnieri citizen of Indiana who was sent by Governor McCrary to Georgia, to investigate condition in Worth County before making a decision as to extradition of the Negro was present at the mass meeting and was handed a copy of the resolutions to take back with him. At a hearing before the Indiana County office, accompanied by an attorney went to that state with requisition papers for the Negro, the governor stated that he would with hold his decision until he could send a committee to Georgia to investigate the case. The Negro's attorneys employed in Indiana, asserted their intention would be his lynch law if returned to this county. The governor further stated that if his investigations should convince him that the Negro would be given proper protection and a fair trial he would at once deliver him to the Georgia authorities. The Negro is being held in jail at Crown Point, Indiana. LOUISIANA SHERIFF BUST; FORGOT TO HANG PRESENIER. New Orleans, La., February 6.—With apparently no precedent to guide him, Attorney General A. V. Coco is onight trying to determine the legal status of Lonnie Enton, colored of Monroe, Louisiana, the date of whose execution, on February 4 for the murder of a white man was completely forgotten by Sheriff T. A. Grant of Quincy Parish. The forgetfulness of the selfie, became so engrossed in other matters that he entirely overlooked the sethed ulled hanging of the colored man until after the date had passed, has raised one of the most intensely interesting questions ever met with in this State to legal authorities whose opinions rest on the man's status are badly divided. The Attorney General friendly admits that he does not know what the man's status is—whether he is all ready legally dead in the eyes of the law and should go free by reason of having his life once placed in jeopardy with the setting of the date of his execution by the Governor, or whether the man must yet be executed in execution alone. He states how ever, that he will examine all cases in the records which may have a hearing on the matter before rendering a decision. The peculiar situation came to light today on the receipt of a letter by Governor John M. Parker from Sheriff Grant. In that the sheriff shout that on account of a rush of work, he犯了 a criminal, he unintentionally poisoned the man, thus that the Governor, as required by law, had fixed the date of the man's execution for February 4, and asked what he should do under the circumstances. The Governor promptly referred the matter to the Attorney-General for a decision and the Attorney-General now says he is very much at sea. The complication in the case is the fact that the attorney for a commutation of the sentence to the man punishment is now pending before the board of pardons. A MOST PLUSANT EVENING. The Executive Board of the independent Order of St. Luke was in session last week at their palatial and recently renovated hall and the event was observed on Friday night, February 11th, 1921 by a gathering of the citizens to meet and greet them. I was a magnificent success from St. Mary's and its needless to say that Mrs. Mary's self was the centre of attraction, although she took the role of hostess and toast-mistress. The conclusion of the gathering was a fine banquet served by Mr. James H. Frayer in his masterly manner. Many addresses were delivered by the visitors and although the exercises were scheduled to commence at 7:30 P. M. it was 11 P. M. before the joyous party had farewell to the St. Lukes and the St. Frayer. It was functionally called a "got together" meeting, but there will never be any failure in getting people in Richmond, together or any where else, when much no event is staged by one who is master of the business.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES one Year ..... $ 2.00 six Months ..... 1.10 three Months ..... .00 foreign Subscriptions ..... $ 8.50 SATURDAY.. FEBRUARY 19, 1921 ATTACKING MARCUS GARVEY. We are publishing a communication from Mr. Madarikan Denlyi, a native of the West Coast of Africa and we deemed it advisable to extract from this surprising communication such parts as would be of interest to our readers. Evidently Mr. Denlyi is un acquainted with American laws and especially those which bear upon libel and for that reason, we have taken the liberty to expunge from his manuscript such comment as would trud to injure him in a court of law. Mr. Denlyi seems to be of the opinion that ignorant Negroes in the United States and Canada are selling their houses and farms to purchase stock in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Corporation. We do not think that persons who have saved enough money to purchase houses and farms are ignorant although they may back good judgment when it comes to the regular investment. Be that as it may, we are put fishing the article of this well-educated African, who seems to be as sure of his ground in attacking the Hoon. Marcus Garvey as the Hoa. Marcus Garvey is in advocating his steamship enterprise to carry such Negroes as care to go back to Africa. THE TWO SCHOOLS We have taken the liberty of reproducing the exhaustive comment of Mr. Truman Hughes Talley in the World's Work. He describes in detail the hopes and ambitions of this truly remarkable Negro and his tribute to him is all the more remarkable, when Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, his most brilliant critic admitted that in his opinion Garvey is honest, sincere and that his plans are feasible. The pen picture drawn by this master of English diction and letters in the World's Work will prove to be interesting reading to that large body of colored Americans, who seek only the truth and who are primarily interested in the facts without any prejudicial coloring, either for or against the object of the comment. The most monumental task, which the Hon. Marcus Garvey assigned to himself and his convention was the drafting of a Bill of Rights for the Negro race. That he realized the enormity of the task is evidenced by the success, which he achieved in the framing of it. Marcus Garvey used languages, which is being skillfully circulated in one of the most influential magazines in this country. He is quoted as follows: Wheresover I go, whether it is in England, France, Germany, Italy or America I am told, "This is a white man's country." Wheresover I travel in this nation, I am made to understand that I am a 'nigger.' If the Englishman claims England as his native habitat, the Frenchman claims France as his home, the Americans, this continent as their land, then the time has come for the Nogroes to claim Africa as their native land. If Europe and America are for the white man and Asia is for the yellow man, then in the name of God, Africa shall be the home of the black peoples. We have been dying for the last five hundred years, for whom? For alien races. The time has come for the Negro to die for himself. --- by their laws then not one of them can claim to be a white man's country. Hon. Marcus Garvey is basing his statements no doubt upon his actual experience in either these countries or in their colonies. Logically speaking, If England, France Germany, Italy or America are not white men's country then Africa is not a black man's country and Asia is not a yellow man's country. And right here seems to be the dividing line between the school of thought championed by Dr. W. E. Bon Boss and the Hon. Marcus Garvey. There are citizens of color in this country, commonly called Negroes, but who insist that they are American citizens of African extraction and lineage, who claim that they were born here and by virtue of this birth and according to the Constitution of the United States are entitled to all the rights and privileges of any other citizen, regardless of race color or previous condition of servitude. By specific amendments to the Constitution of the United States, this position has been emphasized and these rights and privileges guaranteed. How then simply because an unauthorized white citizen in the face of the Constitution should proclaim this to be a white man's country can the solemn decrees and mandates of the constitution be set aside? How can we in the face of the repeated deceptions of the Court recognize the nullification by irresponsible parties of the solemn mandate of the Constitution itself? We take it then that the citizens of color of the W. E. B. Du Bois type and of the Henry Lincoln Johnson calibre and of the R. R. Church school of thought insist upon fighting it out here, if that term is the proper one to describe our contention until all of the rights and privileges of the Americans of African descent are secured as much as they are legally and constitutionally recognized. These colored men, those Negroes do not recognize Africa as their home or as their fatherland. The United States of America has supplanted it. They do not recognize the Black Star flag of the Mareus Garvey movement for they regard it as a virtual surrender of their rights under the Constitution of the United States and they propose to die fighting for their rights under that instrument or to live fighting for the same principles. They believe that it will require less effort and that it will take less time to secure their rights and privileges in this country than it will to secure possession of the land in Africa which the white man has appropriated for his own use. On the other hand Marcus Garvey represents the other school of thought. He thanks that the millions of colored people who have enjoyed the blessings of civilization for two hundred and fifty years will be well fitted to begin the work of a century on their native folk. We weariqn in contending for rights denied and for lucrative official positions in this country, which the white man wants. He would begin the work of building up a nation of progressiveness, not in the United States of America, but in Africa a country rich in metals both precious and otherwise, in agricultural products in stock and in all of the natural resources which make a people great. This is a most inviting picture and we can see no reason why the Hon. Marcus Garvey should not be accorded the desire of his heart, the wish of his soul. There is one thing that he has left out of the equation and that is the capidity of the white man for anything that is valuable. Build up a great nation, multiply its wealth ten-fold and then a hundred fold and even with ships and guns, you will have all you can do and sometimes a bit more to main rain that autonomy for which all in dependent people sigh. But this "neither here nor there." What we wanted to emphasize is that there should be no friction between these great schools of thought. Those of us who believe in 'America first,' will remain in this country, true to its traditions and obedient to its laws. Those, who believe in the African Empire will follow this great leader and advocate in the movement for a new day in Africa. It will not be a 'Back to the farm' movement, but a 'Back to Africa' slogan. Certainly Mr. Garvey has taken a long step forward and we can see no reason why he should not lead the Africans in this country back to Africa, even as Moses led the Israelites in Egypt back to Palestine. As for the American citizens, who are as black as midnight and some of them almost as white as dripping snow, they will look on regretfully as they proceed to go, wishing them God's speed and promising to visit them during the coming years when they have established the empire, which looms up in the distance and which will last many thousand years. Let us stop all cavil on this subject and let us move along our respective lines, impelled with one desire and that is to seek the advancement of all of our people along the lines of legitimate endeavor. This is a large, wide world, big THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ough for colored folks of varying opinions and differing thoughts. Hon. Marcus Garvey has his followers. Let them keep to the path that he has marked out for them. Certainly at Yarmouth on the high seas, flying the flag of the Black Republic in Africa, an invisible empire is worth a million dollars to the hopes of the Negroes of the world at large. There is much to consider, to ponder on both sides of this great question. But greater than even the question itself are these enlightened letters of gold and diamonds of a dazzling brilliancy bearing the hopes and aspirations of a suffering but expectant people, let us have peace. MURDERER IS KILLED AFTER A DESSELRATE GUN BATTLE. Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 10.—A six hour battle today between a colored man who had shot and killed a woman in the house where he was living and nearly a 100 policemen and frenemes resulted in the capture of the man, mortally wounded and the injuring of four policemen. Pistols, axes, high pressure fire hose, sulphur candles and other chemical tools were used against the man who had barricaded himself in the house. Attention was attracted to the man who was known as William Dresen, "Alabama Joe" and other names when he shot Grace Robinson a colored woman and threw her body out of the house. A colored policeman attempted to arrest him and he was shot in the leg. Reserves were sent for and when they attempted to break into the house the man appeared with two pistols and fired rapidly, wounding another policeman in the head. Dreson managed to barricade the doors and the police called upon the fire department for assistance. A high pressure hose was kept in operation; every time he appeared at a win dow he was driven back by a rush of water but not before he managed to fire several more shots. Two other patrolmen were injured. The besieggers the nresorted to strategy and procured sulphur candles and other chemicals from a hospital to drive him out. He, however kept all windows open and this mode of attack failed. Finally Richard Anderson, a colored member of the police, vice squad managed to get into the house unseen by the barricaded man and the two met at a stairway. There was a fusillade of shots and Alabama Joe" tumbled to the bottom of the stairs. Anderson was not hurt. Six policemen seized the wounded man and an examination at the hospital showed he had been shot six times. It as believed he received some of the wounds before Anderson fired at him.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO BE REORGANIZED IN SOUTH Washington, Feb. 11. —Initial step: looking to a plan for reorganization of the Republican party in the South and fixing the basis on which delegates will be chosen to future national conventions will be undertaken at a meeting of the subcommittee of the national committee on March 2 in Washington. The subcommittee is expected to frame a report for the full national Republican executive committee which has been called to meet in Washington on March 3, the eve of the inauguration of President Harding. SLEMP IS CHAIRMAN Representative C. B. Slemp of Virginia, is chairman of the subcommittee with Earl S. Kingsley, of Vermont, and R. P. Howell of Nebraska with the chairman and secretary of the national committee as members exofficio. Mr. Slemp in announcing to day the call of the meeting said a special invitation had been sent to National Chairman Will H. Hays to be present on March 3. Not only will the apportionment of delegates in future conventions be considered Mr. Slemp said, but plans will be worked out for developing and making more effective the party organizations in the various Southern States. National committeemen, State chairmen and party leaders have been asked to submit suggestions to the committee. WILL STUDY WHOLE SITUATION The national committee at its pre-convention meeting in Chicago last June after hearing contests from Southern delegations to the convention passed a resolution directing the appointment of the special committee to study the whole southern political situation and to report to the full full committee "how the Republican party in the States of the South may be reorganized or constituted to make it a more effective agent for the spreading and recording of Republic can principles and of electing Republic can electors." The national convention before it adjourned directed the executive committee within twelve months to "adopt a just and equitable basis in representation in future conventions' for the Southern States. The meeting of March 3 will undertake to put these resolutions into effect. Blowen States of the South had 162 delegates in the last Republican convention as follows: Alabama 14; Arkansas 13; Florida 8; Georgia 17; Louisiana 13; Mississippi 12; North Carolina 22; South Carolina 18; Tennessee 14; Texas 23; Virginia 15. A FLORIDA LYNCHING. Wauohula, Fla., Feb. 11.—Ben Campbell, colored was taken from the city jail here at midnight last night by a mob of between 300 and 200 men hanged from a telephone pole and his body riddled with bullets. The man was charged with attacking a white woman. The lynching of Campbell followed his identification by a young white woman at Zofio, whom the man was allotted to have attacked earlier in the day. She broke away from him and ran. The man got away when the alarm was given and boarded a train. A brother of the girl followed in an auto mobile and reached here in time to incept the train. The man was taken from the train and locked up and the girl was brought from Zofio to indemnify him which she did. The lynching followed. POLICE SEEK PORTER WITH HIS FIRMS CASH Police are seeking Phillip Washing ton, colored, 30 years old, porter for the Tragle Drug Company who is said to have absconded with $795.43 belonging to his employers yesterday after noon. The complaint was lodged with the police yesterday afternoon by Mr. Webb manager of the Tragle Drug Company. According to Mr. Webb it was the custom of the company to send the day's bank deposit by him to the Broad Street Bank. Yesterday the deposit was given to him to take to the bank about 12:30. When Mr. Webb returned from lunch the porter had not yet returned to the store it being then about 2 o'clock. He called the bank and learned that he had not been there and neither had the money been deposited. The complaint was then made to the police asking them to apprehend him. It is said that a man answering his description left the Broad Street Station in the afternoon for some place in New Jersey. The cashier of the Trouble Drug Company said that the $50 bill with which he paid for his ticket is one which was given Washington to deposit in the bank. (Times Dispatch, Feb. 1, 1931) --- WOWAN DEMOLISIQES PLACE. "It looked just as if the Fire Department had been called there to extinguished a terrific blaze," said Policeman Anthony yesterday in describing the place of Belas Charles, colored at 116 North Seventeenth St. The fancy work on the place is alleged to have been done by Florence Charles, the wife of the man whose restaurant was demotised. The wife according to the policeman suspected that there was a woman in the case and wont to work. Her husband fled from the restaurant in terror. Police man Doepe who made the arrest with Policeman Anthony said. Sedized with a terrific frenzy of rage Policeman Dooppe said the woman grabbed up the iron stove and throw it into the middle of the street. With grapefruit and eggs flying in all directions about her she looked the picture of a jugger as described by Policeman Anthony. Nearly every window in the front of the place was smashed out the officers say, and the interior was torn up almost improbably. It was from her that they received information on which they let her swore out a warrant charging her husband with transporting liquor. The wife was charged with being disorderly and breaking up the restaurant property. The cases of both will come up today. ( Times Dispatch, Feb. 11, 1921) HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON (By Charles H. Williams.) Hampton, Va., February.—Howard University basket ball team defeated the Hampton quintet by a score of 28 to 23 in Washington on Friday night, February 11 in what was said to be the most sensational game played there in years. The game was the first big college game to be played in Murray's new Casino, which was packed and jammed, hundreds not being able to find even comfortable standing room. Hampton started the scoring with wonderful passing and shooting that baffled the Howard team and electrified the spectators. The first half was truly Hampton's half the score at the end bating 17 to 7 in Hampton's favor. Howard started the second half with that "come-back spirit" for which she is known. As she cut down Hampton's lead, the great crowd went wild. Hampton was outplayed in the last half, just as Howard had been in the first—not by superior playing, however but simply by the Howard spirit that turned what seemed a certain defeat into victory. Hampton's team showed superior passing but Howard's spirit made up for their lack of it. In the last few minutes of play, with the score 23 to 21 in Hampton's favor, the Howard team put forth its supreme effort. Then amid the wildest cheering and pleading on the part of the students for a victory the Howard team 'delivered the goods' by defeating Hampton by a score of 28 to 23 in one of the greatest games ever played between the two institutions. The spirit on the part of both players and spectators could not have been better. The second game of the series will be played at Hampton Institute on Washington's Birthday. HAMPTON—McLaren, R.

A CHRISTMAŠ AT PARAISO PANAMA CANAL. After two months of strenuous preparation we have succeeded in celebrating the most enjoyable Christmas yet seen in Paraiso. No doubt one finds it hard to enter into the spirit of Christmas here, as the intense heat at this time of year, the inconvenience in getting the supplies we most need and many other elements which militate against our efforts and prevent the full accomplishment of our alms, nevertheless scores of little hearts were made glad this Christmas, not merely by our own endeavors, but by the kindness of our friends in the States. A great amount of credit for our success is due the Berean Sunday School, Philadelphia, Pa., with its energetic Superindent, Mrs. Andenon and the pupils of room 15, Stunton School under Mr. Faucet because of the great number of Christmas toys they sent us for our Paraiso chil dren. The Isthmus of Panama comprises a very small spot on our green earth and the five hundred children here in Paraiso are few in comparison with the hundreds of thousands who are poverty stricken and deprived of the bare necessities of life; yet I am pleased to state that the very name 'Paraiso' seems to indicate a sort of a Paradise for both old and young. The Community Club house being somewhat of a capital recreation and social center of the village, many matters of very technical importance are brought to the secretary for settlement. We are therefore happy because of the exceptional opportunity that we have of being a service to those who need many things and at the same time gain for ourselves a knowledge of the various racial elements in this part of the world and the conditions under which they live; such knowledge will no doubt be a benefit to ourselves and others when we shall have returned to make our home in the States.

(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) The first step in his systematic survey was a close study of the precoce conditions under which Negroes in America and particularly in New York live and work and have their being. From the start he found., as was sure he would find, the most encouraging indications of almost certain success once he unfolded his plan and got it before his people. He did not have to be told that he was in the most populous and the richest Negroy in the world; that free had years ago convinced him that only in New York could he launch his ship of a Negro state and arouse a sufficient whirlwind of material support to fill its sails. He did not have to grow more than two blocks from his quarters to find himself in the world's centre of Negro aristocracy and plutocracy 135th Street and Lenox Avenue. But prepared he was to find himself in the Negro land of milk and honey, he was surprised at the influence and most enriched state of affairs in which New York's black population lives. Fifteen years ago a certain landlord owning temnement houses in 135th St. had what is not unusual—a misunderstanding with certain of his tenants. It appealed he sought to increase the rent, at which actual and prospective tenants vigorously demurred. At a warm point in the controversy the landlord lost his temper and sword that unless the flats were filled at a certain date at the new rate he had laid down he would forthwith open his buildings to Negroes. His threat failed to move the enraged tenants, so true to his word, he advertised the flats for Negroes. That was the beginning of the great Negro city of Harlem which today numbers about 150,000 colored folk. For proof that the Negro in America has prospered far beyond the highest hopes of earlier benefactors, and philanthropists one need only study this most interesting community which though greater in population and wealth than similar neighborhoods in other American cities, is typical of the state of positive affluence that the American Negro has achieved within the decade. Negro holdings in Harlem today exceed $100,000,000 with in the territory bounded by 130th street, Eight Avenue, 156th street and the Harlem river. Numberless Negros own their own dwellings or apartments, representing in the aggregate many millions of dollars. There are four known millionaires, ten half millionaires, and more than a score worth more than $100,000. The savings banks' holdings in the district are put at $30,000,000 and two of those banks are owned by Negros. There are several realty firms comprised of and operated by Negros doing a total yearly business that runs into millions. There are thirty churches and 50 missions. One particular church, St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal in 134th St., stands as a chaileague to many churches of the whites for enterprise, for, with a building costing $300,000 and a wealthy membership of 4,000 this corporate congregation has gone into the real estate business and has holdings said to be worth $1,000,000. There is a Y. M. C. A. building in the heart of the section that represents an investment of $375,000 and a Y. W. C. A. about an annual value. There were a short time ago when a fifth appeared. There are numberless theatres, markets, garages, and other places of business operated solely by Negros and yielding large incomes. A Negross recently died in Harlem who, beginning life as a laudress, hit up on a hair preparation that she patiented and manufactured and as a result became enormously wealthy. She built a magnificent country place on the Hudson that cost $250,000 and a town house in Harlem, and when she died, her will disposed of a large estate including, among other things, a large and valuable collection of art treasures. Up on the streets of Negro Harlem one will find at all times an ever changing parade of well to do well dressed business like substantial Negros going about their daily affairs in the best of clothing, while the curbs are lined with and the streets traversed by automobiles owned and operated by the colored residents. A recent estimate put the automobile licenses issued to New York Negros for 1920 at 5,000. Into this city, too, there have come in recent years between fifteen and twenty thousand Negros from foreign countries, particularly the West Indies, all of them necessarily fairly well off to negotiate the change in residence. Not so long ago two Negros were elected to the New York City Board of Aldermen. There are large numbers of Negros in the police and postal forces of the city. The Negro city of Harlem is a going concern. Garvey found Harlem well on the high road to prosperity when he entered it three years ago. Much of that phenomenal growth has come about since the war-time prosperity of the Negro set in but wealth and enlightenment aptly there was to greet the future Black Moses. And as with the Negro of Harlem, so with his kinsmen over the country. A glance at a fragmentary selection of statistics shows why Garvey saw the necessity of relying upon the American Negro to back him. The United States Department of the Interior said as long ago as 1917—the year Garvey appeared—"No other racial group fins the country shows a better adjustment in relations with the white natives than the (then) more than ten million Negroes. In fifty years of freedom illiteracy, has decreased from 90 to 20 per cent. One million Negroes are now farmers either as renters or owners, and a fourth of them own more than 20,000 acres. There are 50,000 Negroes in the South in business or profession al pursuits as bankers, lawyers, phy- sicians, and other lines than farming. They own more than a hundred banks." Today throughout the nation Negroes own 700,000 homes. There are five hundred colleges and higher institutions of learning worth in equipment and endowment $22,000,000. There are 1,800,000 Negroes in public schools. There are 45,000 churches with a value of $90,000,000 and a total membership of 4,500,000. In one Georgia county there are three times as many Negroes owing farms as whites, and this is not exceptional. In North Carolina alone the 1919 tax list show Negro property worth $51,020,000. Throughout the war Negro bought $225,000,00 worth of Liberty Bonds. The race in its half century of freedom has produced orators, writers, painters, sculptors, poets, lawyers, physicians, scientists, bankers, and all manner of professional and occupational geniuses in a country where the highest possible remuneration return is available. The Negroes even have their own major inter-city baseball league, patterned after the big white leagues, to say nothing of their minor and smaller circuits. And it is baseball in the accepted high financial sense, with thousands invested and productive of baseballles que returns. (TO BE CONTINUED) 30 KILLED, SCORE HURT BY BIG STORM IN GEORGIA. Oceone, Ga., Feb. 10.—A tornado that struck the Gardner settlement, one mile from here shortly after the noon hour today, brought death to two white persons and nearly thirty colored and serious injury to five white persons and more than a score of colored ones. A stretch of land extending from Oceone almost to Toombsboro in Washington County, nearly five miles long and about a half mile wide is as harren as a prairie tonight; not a building nor a tree being left standing. Among the dead is Benjamin Frank Pin Orr, 14 year old youth who was decapitated. His head had not been found at a late hour tonight. The onlyother white person who met death in the tornado is the three year old daughter of E. L. Minor, manager of Shenbord's Commissary at the plant of the Cleveland-Oceone lumber company. Eighty-two children and three teachers were in a school building on the edge of the Gardner settlement when the tornado struck. The building was literally twisted to pieces, and the fragments scattered for miles around. Children were picked up by the wind and carried for some distances but it is officially announced tonight that only one child was seriously bruised. White persons injured included L. L. Thompkins, C. O. Thompkins, Edgar Thompkins, George Lord and Emery Shepherd, Marion Holdges, Mrs. Tobert Emnis, Emma Jolly. The Jolly girl was hurt at the schoolhouse. Approximately forty houses were blown down in the Gardner settlement. The Shepherd Brother's Com missary at the big lumber plant was reduced to kindling wood, Orr and four colored persons meeting death there. Ten feet away from the com missary was the general office of the Cleveland-Ocence Lumber company which was untouched by the storm. The fifteen new plant of the lumber company, which practically owns the settlement site of Gardner was not seriously damaged by the wind, although millions of feet of lumber piled in the yards was scattered. The tornado spent its force locally immediately beyond the plant of the lumber company in the settlement of forty houses and four stores. Most of the people residing in this section were colored, the white people of the town living on higher ground, a short distance away. These colored houses and stores faced the tracks of the Savannah division of the Central of Georgia Rail road. In the rear of the houses was an open field extending for nearly a mile from the Occone Station to the lumber mill. It was into this field that men, women and children were carried to their death from their scans at dinner tables. Ten minutes after the tornado wiped out the Gardner settlement a Central of Georgia recal freight train running from Savannah to Macon arived on the scene W. O. King of Wadley, conductor in charge viewed the bodies scattered about the ground. The conductor ordered his locomotive detached from the train and with his crew hastened to Tennille, eleven miles away for aid. Coaches were commandered from the Wrights ville and Tennille Railroad and four doctors and forty-six persons were obtained in the relief party. The train returned to Oconee as speedily as possible. Doctors found one colored boy with a board driven into his forehead. They removed the board and gave temporary aid. The youth was alive tonight and it is believed he will live. The body of a three year old colored infant was found at the roots of a tree, the top of which had been twisted off. The child's head had been crushed in, having been carried head foremost against the tree. One colored persons body was cut in two. A colored man and his wife were found more than 100 years from their home lying side by side in the road both dead. The bodies of several small colored people were found in trees out of the path of the tornado being suspended on the limbs by their clothing. The bodies of grown people were thrown into the field in a semicircle and in the center of the group was a goat, which stood like a statue, too frightened to move for hours after the storm passed. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA THE PROBLEM. (By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.) Out of the wilderness, out of the night, Has the Black man crawled to the dawn of light; And the cry of his heart is to know, to know! You took his freedom and gave it again; But grudged as ye gave it, ye white faced men. "We gave what he asked for—place and pay And right of franchise." All wrong, all wrong! He was but a child to be led along By the hand of love. Has he felt its touch? Nay! You gave unwisely and gave too much; But you gave not the things that his gaping mind Was reaching up in the dark to find. They were love and knowledge. Oh! infinite Must be the patience that hopes to right. The wrongs that are hoary with age, and brought To the level of virtues by mortal thought, And greater than a patience must be the trust. In the ultimate outcome of what is just; And in and under and through and above love. Must weveen the warp of purpose— Red with anguish his way, has been, This suffering brother of dusky skin, For centuries fettered and bound to earth. Slow his unfolding to freedom's birth Slow his rising from burden and ban To fill the stature of mortal man. You must give him wings ere you tell him to fly— You must set the example and bid him try. Let the white man pay for the white man's crime— Let him work in patience and bide God's time. Out of the wilderness, of the night, Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light; He has come through the valley of great despair He hasorne what no white man ever can hear He has come there. He has come through sorrow and pain and woe. And the cry of his heart is to know, to know! TEACHING TEACHERS TO TEACH HEALTH. Richmond, Va., February—To enable the teachers of the Virginia pub lic schools to acquire the information necessary for compliance with the West Act which provides for the physical inspection of pupil and the teaching of school hygiene, the State Board of Health has, in collaboration with the Department of Education, established a correspondence course in those subjects and already nearly a hundred teachers have enrolled for the instruction. So many inquiries have come to the health department that the commissioner has thought it wise to issue a brief statement about the course and the reasons for its establishment. The course of lessons offers free of charge a method of obtaining certain practical information without which no teacher can, after 1925 receive a certificate to teach in the public schools of Virginia. It consists of twelve lessons in physical inspection of school children, control of communicable diseases, personal hygiene and first aid to the injured. That the course will make any teacher practical expert in any one of the topics is not to be hoped; but on the other hand no teacher can take the lessons and pass the examinations without having gained information which will be valuable to her and if applied pro fittable to her classes. There are now about 14,000 teachers in the public school system and if the present rate of attendance at the summer and winter schools continues these teachers could not, all of them, be reached within the next four years. Consequently something had to be done for the teachers who cannot or do not attend these schools otherwise, they would not be able to secure a teacher's certificate for 1925 or thereafter. The State Health Commissioner and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction are hopeful that this method of teaching by correspondence may solve what other wise would have been an insoluble problem. MAN WOUNDS FOUR; POSSE IN PURSUIT. Miami, Fla., February 10.—A sheriff's posse is searching for Floyd Johnson who is alleged to have shot four men today five miles west of Fort Pierce. M. H. Dillmon whose face was shot almost entirely off is not expected to live; James Shelton is seriously injured in the back and one leg; Joseph McKinney was badly hurt by buckshot; striking his head and eyes; Alfred Woods was shot through one leg. Woods is not seriously hurt. The men claim they drove up to Johnson's house and asked for some whisky. Truck said so have been loaded with liquor was standing in front of Johnson's house and the men claimed Johnson thought they intend ed confiscating it. The men were shot with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. --- DESCRIPTIONS. Chapel Service Free to All of Our Patrons. ALL COUNTRY ORDERS ARE GIVEN OUR SPECIAL ATTENTION.

THREE FOUR (Continued from First Page) enough shares and Liberian Liberty bonus to lots of Negroes in Africa America and Canada so buy a large steel ship instead of using the peoplet roney to pay for a wooden ship about 40 years old on installment plan from the white people. It is a shame for Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. to be using the name of the Liberian government. The "Free African Movement" is another problem to be solved but I did solve it at Liberty Hall on West 183th street, New York city in August 12, 1920 having stopped Marcus Garvey from electing himself as President of Africa and rule 400,000,000 black people of the world. Therefore the members of the U. N. I. A, elected him without any vote from the black kings, chiefs and presidents in Africa as Provisional President of the U. N. I. A. in Africa and America. He also made the correct statements to his followers after reading an article in the New York Times of August 15, 1921 that he was not elected to rule the natives in Africa or dictate to any of the African leaders in that great continent. If he had not obeyed me, I could have put him in Federal prison through the help of the American post office inspectors and detectives for his conspiracy and ambitions scheme of getting rich quick. But it is not too late yet for the federal authorities to investigate the "voodoo" power of Marcus Garvey. Many stockholders in the Black Star Line Steamship corporation are too scared to demand their money from the corporation, thinking that Marcus Garvey would "hoodoo" them with his "rabbit foot" in the office. One of the Negro Captains went to the Black Star Line office few months ago to demand his money after bringing the steamship Kanawa back to New York city from Norfolk, Va., but somebody had to draw a gun on him in Garvey's office insnwid of a rabbit foot. That's the kind of man who is planning to redeem Africa in this New Year 1921. If I were the Captain I could have reported the matter to Mayor Hylan and the policemen in New York because it is against the Sullivan law in New York State for any white or colored person to draw a loaded gun on another person in his office. I hope the Negroes will take notice of this principal fact because there will be a race riot and revolutionary war in Africa if any of Garvey's followers is to draw a loaded gun on the natives in Liberia, West Africa. How can Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. redeem Africa without the consent and cooperation of the black kings, chiefs and presidents who were born and elected to rule the natives in Africa? As it is impossible for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle in Jerusalem, so it will be impossible for Marcus Garvey to rule on any part of Africa. He will have to return to St. Ann, Jamalah, British West Indies, and rule the Negro goes there, because no slave is allowed to rule in Africa. I read in the Negro World that he and members of the U. N. I. A. had sent five Negroes to Liberia to act as spies for the organization but I am quite sure that President King and the natives in Liberia will treat them as the Afri can leaders always do to the spies in Africa. They used to cut the spy's head off and hang it on the tree in public market, where every native could see the traitor but the King don't do that anymore since the Ameri can and European Missionaries brought Christianity to Nigeria, West Africa; but still they won't let any spy escape without punishment. Let us hope that these Negroes will not turn to be traitors on their arrival in Liberia. They left New York in January 1921 but there is no available chance for Marcus Garvey to disappear with the people's money. The President and officers of the Liberian Exodus Association disappeared with the people's money in North Carolina in 1778 and did not leave any record behind for the members where to find their money. The Chief Sam movement also disappeared in the United States in 1914 and we haven't seen Chief Sam and his steam ship Liberia, but we are going to make the United States detectives and policemen use their power and help poor and needy Negroes to d mand their money from the Black Star Line before Marcus Garvey disappears to No Man's Land with his red, black and green flag. The writer of this article lives at 33 West 132nd street, New York, City and would like to hear from all the readers, who are interested in Africa. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

FREE TRIAL COUPON 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.

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, Manas quan, N. J.

PALMER'S PREPARATIONS (Continued from First Page) enough shares and Liberian Liberty bonds to lots of Negroes in Africa America and Canada so buy a large steel ship instead of using the peel coney to pay for a wooden ship about 40 years old on instrument plan from the white people, or a chime for Miners Garvey and the U N I A to be building the people of the Liberian government. "The Free African Movement" is another problem to be solved but I did solve it at Liberty Hill on West 1838 street, New York City in August 12, 1920 having stopped Marcus Carvey from clothing himself as President of Africa and rule 400,000,000 black people of the world. Therefore the members of the U. N. L. A. elect him without any vote from the black kings, chiefs and presidents in Africa as Provisional President of the U. N. L. A. in Africa and America. He also made the correct statements to his followers after reading my article in the New York Times of August 15, 1921 that he was not elected to rule the natives in Africa or dictate to any of the African leaders in that great continent. If he had not obeyed me, I could have put him in Federal prison through the help of the American post, office inspectors and detectives for his conspiracy and ambitions scheme of getting rich quick. But it is not too late yet for the federal authorities to investigate the 'voodoo' power of Marcus Carvey. Many stockholders in the Black Star Line Steamship corporation are too scared to demand their money from the corporation, thinking that Marcus Carvey would 'hoodoo' them with his 'rabbit foot' in the office. One of the Negro Captains went to the Black Star Line office few months ago to demand his money after bringing the steamship Kannawa back to New York city from Norfolk, Va., but somebody had to draw a gun on him in Garvey's office instead of a rabbit foot. That's the kind of man who is planning to redeem Africa in this New Year 1921. If I were the Captain I could have reported the matter to Mayor Hylan and the policemen in New York because it is against the Sultivan law in New York State for any white or colored person to draw a loaded gun on another person in his office. I hope the Negroes will take notice of this principal fact because there will be a race riot and revolutionary war in Africa if any of Garvey's followers is to draw a loaded gun on the natives in Liberia, War Africa. How can Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. redeem Africa without the consent and cooperation of the bla. kings, chiefs and presidents who were born and elected to rule the natives in Africa? As it is impossible for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle in Jerusalem, so it will be impossible for Marcus Garvey to rule in any part of Africa. He will have to return to St. Ann, Jamaica; British West Indies, and rule the Negro World that he and members of the U. N. I. A. had sent five Negroes to Liberia to act as spies for the organization but I am quite sure that President King and the natives in Liberia will treat them as the Afri can leaders always do to the spies in Africa. They need to cut the spies' head off and hang it on the tree in public market where every native could see the traitor but the King don't do that anymore since the Ameri can and European Missionaries brought Christianity to Nigeria, West Africa; but still they won't let any spy escape without punishment. Let us hope that these Negroes will not turn to be traitors on their arrival in Liberia. They left New York in January 1921 but there is no available chance for Marcus Garvey to disappear with the people's money. The President and officers of the Liberian Exodus Association disappeared with the people's money in North Carolina, in 1778 and did not leave any record behind for the members where to find their money. The Chief Sam movement also disappeared ed in the United States in 1914 and we haven't seen Chief Sam and his steam ship Liberia, but we are going to make the United States detectives and police use their power and help poor and needy Negroes to d mount their money from the Black Star Line before Marcus Garvey disappears to No Man's Land with his red, black and green flag. The writer of this article lives at 33 West 132nd street, New York, City and would like to hear from all the readers, who are interested in Africa. Y. M. C. A.
