THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 17 MR. J. E. BRUCE REPLIES TO PRINCE DENIYI. February 19, 1821. Editor, The Planet. Ridgmond, Virginia. Richmond, Virginia. If Moradin Deniyi was locked in a room with a chair, table, writing materials and a $200 bill and told to write the article appearing over his name in the Planet, for February 19th and take the money for his trouble, he would be in the room several months and the letter would not be written. Deniyi has been in this country for, how long anybody exactly knows, posing as an African Prince, and raising money by appeal to churches and other organizations to get back to Africa by delivering adresses in broken English in such churches and halts as would give him an opportunity to work them. He has appeared in a gorgeous cube, and turban at times, and when he U. N. I. A. Convention met here in August last he was resplendenced in his African royal regency and marched with the marchers with heaving breast and the pride born of fiction. Now a man who would lie about his status at home, who will insist that his blood is royal, when he knows in his heart that it is merely the commonest plebean fluid will lie about other people. And this is exact what 'Prince' Deniyi has done in his attack on Marcus Garvey. I have in my possession two letters from Lagos, from a gentleman who ought to know, which brand this Prince as a fraud and an adventurer and says that he is unknown in Lagos, in the Citys in which read Native Princes move or to the Lagos Public. This man like a good many other Africans who have come to this country and posed as the sons of native clerks or as princes, or as the relatives of prominent merchants and traders, has many imitators all over the country. There is one of this type who is now the forced guest of the city of Harrisonburg, Pa. This African came here some months ago and opened an office in N. Y. City and established a warehouse in Long Island City, where his cargoes of ivory haggany, hides, plosava and so north were to be glorified, on their arrival by ship from the Gold Coast, from which he built. Now for the small sum of ten dollars this resource, progressive African genius, got himself tangled up with the law by sharp practice and is a free border in one of the city hotels in Harrisonburg, Pa. He is mighty fond of the American dollar and can expel words almost as far as a horse can trot, telling his story about his life in Africa which is varied according to the type of his audiences and is about one part truth and nine parts lies. He is blind as a heathen China when toil it, and his voice is uneasy filled with tears which evoke volumes of sympathy from tender heart and women on whose emotions he can singly plays and some soft-hearted men who like to separate themselves from their surplus coin. Prince Benjamin takes himself very seriously but he is a monumental joke, and the better appearing under his 'royal' name in the Planet is not his work but the work of others more skilled in the use of the King's English than ever was or ever will be. They are simply hiding behind African anil skin robe of this gallbladder, plastic influential African Prince and are attacking the Garvey movement like the brave men (?) moral cowards are when they have been out pointed in a Man's Game. The Yarmouth is not an old woodenulk nor is it as old as the 'Prince'complices in their tissue of mistastemeets allude to be. There are a greatmany other micropresentations inhis 'remarkable' outgiving which do not deserve the distinctive of dental orno course of exclamation, becausethey are inspired by pure venomborn of envy and a desire to tear downbut which neither the Prince nor hiscomplices in the conspiracy to discredit Mr. Garvey, could rebuild ina thousand years, if there mandaciousand malevolent and vicious scheme to poison the minds of the publicby those blackhand and black heartedmethods could avail. The Garvey movement has gone too far and achieved too much in spite of the opposition of white men and the blackpool pigeons of white men to be affected by the insane 'yawpings' of a selfless African prince who cannotcorrectly speak or write Englishas she is spoke" and whose responsibiltyfor his alleged utterancesstands and abuse and misrepresentationwhen established would show him toa bankrupt and peripatetic beggar.He came to the U. N. I. A. Convention Inst August as did a good manyother selfish race patriots with receptive minds and frightling palms withhope and desire in his African breast that the convention wouldchoose him to represent the U. N. I. in some official capacity. But he had all such an he were weighed inand bribe and feud wanting. He proved to be the lightest weight of all three creature and inspiring Battles. Naturally, when the curtain went down and he found himself out side he weighed works it touched his 'royal pride' and be resolved as some others have done to their sorrow to mitigate Sampson and pull down the temp. Well he'd better be careful or some of the falling debris, if it falls, will pug him out of the fake prince business and hurt his feelings. --- DR. GRAHAM AND THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION Editor The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia Riemouth, Virginia. My dear Mr. Mitchell: You must know that about this time every year there comes over me, as one of the old Virginia Baptist State Convention workers, a feverish anxiety for the Virginia Baptist State Convention. The work of that great convention in many respects stands out showroom and head above that of any other religious Negro Baptist body in the world in its ideal conception of the race problem. We have done more to dignify and give historic prestige to Negro self help than any other Baptist State Convention. The School at Lynchburg overshadows all the rest of them. Think of it in the past year I took $49,000 to run that school and under the masterly leadership of Dr. B. C. W. L. we had nearly two thousand dollars left over. The girls who have graduated from this school are making some of the very best wives and mothers, some of the very best doctors and trained nurses and some of the very best public school teachers. The young men who have graduated from this school are heading in 11 walks of life and we have more than a hundred and fifty preachers scattered throughout the country and in Africa, preaching the Word of God with power and success. I am sure Mr. Editor, you being one of the founders of that great school one of its ardent loves, an unchangable advocate, will delight to chime in with me in calling upon the brothel of the Virginia Baptist State Convention to answer the call of Dr. T. J. King, the right man in the right place in gathering in large numbers at our Fay Convention at the Liberty Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. I have received a letter from Dr. Holland Powell stating that the noble Baptists of Washington will leave a stone unburned in giving us a great reception. Dr. King has called for $50,000. It should be raised, be cause Foreign missions. State Missions, Church Extension and Christian Education are fundamental duties enjoined upon the followers of Christ. Our school has grown to such proportions that we must have n $100,000 Administration building. The Little Baptist giant, Deacon Adolphus Humble stands ready to finance the project—No, not stands ready, but is financing it and it is up to us as steward Baptist leaders to raise the money. With such leaders as Drs. King, Galvin, P. C. Woods and Deacon Humbles we cannot fall if we put our trust in God and continue working. The Negro Baptists of the North are enjoying the fruits of the educational output of Virginia Seminary. Sixteen of her strongest sons are holding churches in the State of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and many other states have her sons as able pastors. Therefore, they all feel indebted to the school where men are trained to take the lead in everything that spells Negro self help, Negro updift, Negro management under the direction of Almighty God. Leg we meet the Baptist State Convention on the second Wednesday in May, Liberty Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. very truly, W. F. GRAHAM HAZEL HARRISON PLAYS AT HABUTON Hampton, Va.—Haazel Harrison, the well known colored manis of Chicago who has received the warm pride of American and foreign music critics for her technical skill and her sympathetic musicianship, played recently before a large and appreciative audience in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. Miss Harrison' playing was fully up to the expectation of her audience. Her numbers showed clearly her grasp of the meaning of the masters in piano composition. Miss Harrison's promise of her earlier years, when she was halled as a musical prodigy, did not fail of fulfillment in her Hampton Institute program. She played with excellent technical facility and as Herman Devries, music editor of the Chicago Evening American had already sold of her. "It is her heart that plays. Her fingers are but the obdient needlum." RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1921.

His James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor. The sensation of the theatrical season is the report that the Drama League decided that it would not invite Charles Glinp, the colored star of "The Emperor Jones" playing at the Princess Theatre to its annual dinner. The Drama League is an organization which has for its purpose the fostering of what is best in the theatre. Each year it passes on the various productions and issues a "white list" of plays considered worth while. Also each year it gives a dinner in honor of the membership at the most destoy-guished contributors to dramatic art in the proceeding year. As the boxinging proceeded this year it was found that Glinp, the colored actor who played the part of "Dunstia" in Drinkwater's great play, "Abraham Lincoln," and who created the stellar character in "The Emperor Jones," which is regarded by most critics as the most note worthy play of the season, was likely to drink third or fourth on the list. They throw some of his members of the Drama League into consternation. They thought not only of what a terrible proponent it would be in this great democracy to give a Negro such rank, but also of what a blow it would be to "Angle-Saxon supremacy" to have him sit beside his fellow artists at the dinner to be given to the Hotel Maclinp. Cotrain members of the Learner got busy immediately to head off this double catastrophe. Their first hope was that the management of the Hotel McAlpin would refuse to allow a Norgro at its tables. But when they proclaimed the management declared that it had no objections. They then desired to write Mr. Gilpin a "good吻" letter telling him what a fine artist they considered him to be, while at the same time, neglecting to send his man invitation to the dinner. But this clever little plank did not work. The whole matter got out. The incident was carried with headlines on the front pages of the New York newspapers and the reaction has been as great as Mr. Gilpin and his friends could wish for. Prominent actors and artists at once voiced their prods, and declared that they would not attend the dinner if Mr. Gilpin was not invited. Mary Garden in protesting said: "I would be willing to sit with Gilpin. I would like to know who in New York would not sit with him?" Glinda Vlaar telegraphed the Drama League, "If you will invite Gilpin I will be proud to sit next to him. God forbid that artists should do the American stage such a wrong as has been imputed to you with respect to Gilpin." Sororal of the New York newspapers have carried editor-in-chief on the indictment. 'Tribune' closed its editorial by remarking that the only thing left for the Drama League to do is to redeem it self was to give the dinner in honor of Gilpin. As unfortunate as is this whole in cident, it nevertheless reveals some encouraging signs. In the first place, the race has produced a great actor. In the second place, this actor has in spite of the obstacles and handicaps of prejudice, gained the recognition of the critics, his fellow artists, the press and the public in this great city. In the third place, the narrow, snobbish attitude of certain members of the Drama League has met with overwhelming rebuke. We may well stop and ask if all of this could have been possible a generation ago. The race might have produced the great actor a generation ago—in fact it did produce him more than a generation ago in Ira Aldridge—but such an actor could not have gained recognition in the United States, and much less could he have had administered in his behalf the rebuke which has been administered to the Drama League in the Gilpin incident. The most gratifying phase of the affair is the dignified and sensible position which Mr. Glipn himself has maintained through it all. Many men under the circumstances would have made some gallly foolish remark. When the storm broke Mr. Glipn kept silent. When at last he was prompted to say something, he gave out a statement in which he took very high ground. He said that he was honestly striving to present his art rather than himself to the public. Regarding the embarrassing position in which he had been placed, Mr. Gilpin referred only briefly. He said: "Assist (those who do not care to sit in the same dining room with me I have no complaint). This only will be easy." Thus far in the world's history no pose or profession has ever been given relative rank permanently and none has ever been permanently presented from winning equality of rank for itself. "Beauty everywhere, without regard to color or estate, render that Honor and shame from no condition." risk. Act well your part; there all honor lies." There are those who will not agree entirely with Mr. Gilpin's comment on history, but essentially he is correct, a never has been and never will be possible to keep down worth and merit permanently. There will of course, be mainly who will feel that the Drama League was within its rights in declining to invite a colored actor to its dinner, that the dinner is wooled by a social affair. But the Drama League was not with in its sights in taking such a stand and its dinner is not entirely a social affair. This dinner is supposed to be given in honor of the ten person ion sidered the most distinguished contributors to dramatic art during the preceding year. Since that is so, the matter of mere race has no place. If the Drama League wants to draw such lines, it should cut out the con sideration of art, and invite its guests accordingly as they may be dangerous to its members. Since the above was written it has been announced that the Drama Laug un has named Mr. Gilpin among the ten most distinguished contributors to dramatic art year and that our invitation will be sent to him. The ten named are as follows: Dudley Digram, selected for his acting in 'Horatabreak House'; Glinda Vareed, for her acting in 'Enter Madame'; David Basko, for putting on 'Deburau'; Eulene O'Neil, as author of 'The Empere Jones'; Ben Ami, for his acting in 'Samson and Dedhilu'; Charles Gilpin for his acting in 'The Emperor Jones'; Lionel Mewl, for his acting in 'Deburau'; Lee Simon son as comic artist in 'instart Heartbreak House'; Margaret Sewan for her use of masks in dance in 'The Greenwich Village Poems'; Pred Stone as foremost comic artist. Mr. Gilpin has not yet said 'What he will accept or not. But there is every reason to think he will art with as much indignant now as he has horrortory. Y. W. C. A.

Editor, The Hancet. Virginia. Columbia If Murdurben Denly was locked in a room with a chair, table, writing materials and a $500 bill and told to write the article appearing over his name in the Planet, for February 19th and take the money for his trouble, he would be in the room several months and the letter would not be written. Denly has been in this country for, how long nobody exactly knows, posing as an African Prince, and raising money by appalling churches and other organizations to get back to her by delivering ad broken English in such churches and halls as would give him an opportunity to work them. He has appeared in a gorgeous robe, and turban at times, and when the U. N. I. A. Convention met here in August last he was resplendence in this African royal gogsey and marched with the marchers with heaving breast and the pride born of fiction. Now a man who would lie about his statue at home, who will insist that his blood is royal, when he knows in his heart that it is merely the commonest ploban fluid will lie about other people. And this is exact by what 'Prince' Denyl, has done in his attack on Marcuus Garvey. I have in my possession two letters to Lagos, from a gentleman who might be a fraud, which brand this Prince to a fraud and an adventurer and says that he is unknown in Lagos, in the Clyroes in which real Native Princes move or to the Lagos Public. This man like a good many other Africans who have come to this country and posed as the sons of native dancers or as princes, or as the relatives of prominent merchants and traders, has many imitators all over the country. There is one of this type who is now the forced guest of the city of Harrisonburg, Pa. This African came here some months ago and opened an office in N. Y. City and established a warehouse in Long Island and City, where his cargoes of ivory and wood were to be gathered on their arrival by ship from the Gold Coast, from which he hails. Now for the small sum of ten dollars this resource, progressive African genius got himself tangled up with the law by sharp practice and is a free boarder in one of the city hotels in Harrisonburg, Pa. He is mighty fond of the American dollar and can expel words almost as fast as a horse can trot, telling his story about his life in Afri which is as varied according to the type of his audiences and is about one part truth, and nine parts lies. He is as bland as a heathen Chique when tell it, and his voice is usual; dilled with tears which evoke volumes of sympathy from tender heart emotion on whose emotions he can singly and express himself, men who like to separate themselves from their surplus coin. Prince Denyel takes himself very seriously but he is a monumental joke, and the latter appearing under his 'royal' name in the Planet is not his work but the work of others more skilled in the use of the King's English than he ever was or ever will be. They are imply hiding behind Afri an silk role of this gullible, plastic and influential African Prince and so attacking the Garvey movement of the moral cowards are when they have been out ointed in a Man's Game. The Yarmouth is not an old woodenulk nor is it as old as the 'Prince's' accomplices in their tissue of mistakennots allego to be. There are a greatmany other misrepresentations in his 'remarkable' outgiving which do not deserve the dignitary of dental or the courtesys yop explanation because they are inspired by pure venom born if cavy and a desire to tear downbut which neither the Prince nor his conspiracy to discredit Mr. Garvey nor his thousand years, if there mandacionsand malevolent and vicious scheme to poison the minds of the public by those blackhair and black heartedmethods could avail. The Garvey movement has gone too far and achieved too much in spite of the opposition of white men and the black-pigouls of white men to be afected by the insane 'yawpings' of a sentitious African prince who cannot correctly speak or write English as she is spoke" and whose responsibility for his alleged utterances stands and abuse and misrepresentation then established would show him to a bankrupt and perpetual beggar. To the U. N. I. A. Convention last to the U. N. I. A. Convention last to the U. N. I. A. Convenience motive minds and itching palms with the hope and desire in his African breast that the convention would closest him to represent the U. N. I. In some official capacity. But he and all such as he were weighed in and bdume and feud wanting. He proved to be the lightest weight of all these crafty and inspiring Barkises. Naturally when the curtain wont down and he found himself out side he brawlworks it touched his 'royal pride' and he resolved as some others have done to their sorrow—to imitate Sanson and pull down the tempte. Well, he'd better be careful or some of the falling debris, if it falls, will wipe out of the fake prince business and hurt his feelings. DR. GRAHAM AND THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION Editor The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia tenth month. My dear Mr. Mitchell—You must know all about me every year there comes over me as one of the old Virginia Baptist State Convention workers, a feverish anxiety for the Virginia Baptist State Convention. The work of that great convention in many respects stands out shoulder and head above that of any other religious Negro Baptist body in the world in its ideal conception of the race problem. We have done more to dignify and give historic prestige to Negro help help than any other Baptist States Convention. The School at Lynchburg overshadows all the rest of them. Think of it in the past year it took $49,000 to run that school and the mastery leadership of Dr. H. C. Moore, the nearly two thousand dollars left over to give who have graduated from this school are making some of the very best wives and mothers, some of the very best doctors and trained nurses and some of the very best public school teachers. The young men who have graduated from this school are loading in all walls of life and we have more than a hundred and fifty preachers scattered throughout the country and in Africa, preaching the Word of God with power and success. I am sure Mr. Editor, you being one of the founders of that great school one of its ardent an unchangleable advocate, will delight to chime in with in in calling upon the people of the Virginia Baptist State Convention to answer the call of Dr. T. J. King, the right man in the right place during in large numbers at our Fay Convention at the Liberty Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. I have received a letter from Dr. Holland Powell stating that the noble Baptists of Washington will leave not a stone unturned in giving us a great reception. Dr. King has called for $50,000. It should be raised, be cause Foreign missions, State Missions, Church Extension and Christian Education are fundamental duties incur upon the followers of Christ. Our school has grown to such proportions that we must have a $100,000 Administration building. The little Baptist plant, Dacon Adolphus Ham blossoms ready to finance the pro project—No, not stands ready, but is financing it and it is up to us as stalwart Baptist leader to raise the money. With such leaders as Dr. King, Galvin, R. C. Woods and Deacon Humbles we cannot fail if we put our trust in God and continue working.

The sensation of the theatrical mood is the report. that the Drama League decided that it would not invite Charles Gilpin, the colorful star of "The Empress Jones" playing at the Princess Theatre to its annual dinner. The Drama League is an organization which has for , its purpose the fostering of what is known in the theatre. Each year it passes on the various productions and issues a "white shirt" of playa considered worth while. Also each year it gives a dinner in honor of the member ship in the most distict guided contributors to dramatic art in the preceding year. As the balletting proceeded this year it was found that Glipin, the colored actor who played the part of "Ostens" in Drinkwater's great play, "Abraham Lincoln," and who created the steller character in "The Emperor," which is regarded by most critics as the most beautiful of the season, was likely to third or fourth on the list. This throw some of the members of the Drama League into consternation. They thought not only of what a terrible precedent it would be in this great democracy to give a Negro such rank, but also of what a blow it would have made. The Saxon supremacy" to have him beside his fellow artists at the dinner to be given at the Hotel Madign. Cetrain members of the League got busy immediately to head off this double catastrophe. Their first hope was that she also management of the Hotel McAlpin would refuse to allow a Negro at its tables. But when approached the management declared that it had no objections, they then decided to write Mr. Gilpin a "real nice" letter telling him what a fine artist they considered him to be, white, at the same time, neglecting to send hi man invitation to the dinner. But this clever little plan did not work. The whole matter got out. The incident was carried with headlines on the front pages of the New York newspapers and the reaction has been as great as Mr. Glipin and his friends could wish for. Prominent actors and artists at once voiced their protests, and declared that they would not be invited. Many Mr. Glipin was not invited. Many Mr. Glipin was testing said: "I would be willing to sit with Glipin. I would like to know who in New York would not sit with him?" Glida Varecel telegraphed the Drama League. If you will imitate Glipin II IH be proud to sit next to him. God forbid that artist should do the American stage such a wrong us has been imputed to you with respect to Glipin." Several of the New York newspapers have carried adornments on advertisement. "Tribune" has its editorial by remarking that the only thing left for the Drama League to do is redeem it self was to give the dinner in honor of Glipin. As unfortunate as it is this whole inident, it notovertheless reveals someencouraging signs. In the first place, therace has produced a great actor. In the second place, the actor hasin spite of the obstacle and handicapof prejudice, gained the recognitionof the critics, his fellow artists, thepress and the public in this greatcity. In the third place, the narrow,snobish attitude of certain membersof the Drama League has met withoverwhelming rebuke. We may wellheel and ask all of this could haveenabled a generation ago. The race has produced thegreat actor a general agent in factit did produce him more thangeneration ago in Ira Altridge,but such an actor could not have gainedrecognition in the United States, and much less could he have hadadministered in his behalf the rebukewhichhas been administered to the DramaLeague in the Gilpin incident. The most gratifying phase of this affair is the dignified and sensible position which Mr. Gilpin himself has maintained through it all. Many men under the circumstances would have made some guilty foolish remark. When the storm broke Mr. Gilpin went to work. When at last he was prompted to go smashing, he gave out a statement in which he very high ground. He said that he had honestly striving to present his art rather than himself to the public. Regarding the embarrassing position in which he had been placed, Mr. Gilpin referred only briefly. He said: "Against those who do not care to sit in the same dining room with me I have no complaint. This only will I say. That far in the world's history no case or profession has ever been more rank permanently and none has ever been permanently prevented from winning equality of rank for adult." "Real people everywhere, without regard to color or sex, realize that Hitler and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part; there all honor lies." There are those who will not get entirely with Mr. Glipin's comment on history, but essentially he is correct. It never has been and never will be possible to keep down worth and merit permanently. There will of course, be many who will feel that the Drama League was within its rights in declining to it with a colored actor to its dinner, that the Drama League is wholly a social affair, that the Drama League was not with in its duties in taking such a stand and its dislike is not entirely a social affair. This dinner is supposed to be given in honor of those persons sided with the most distinguished con tributors to dramatic art during the preceding year. Since that is so, the matter of mere race has no place. If the Drama League wants such lines, it should cut out the icon sideration of mere, and invite its greatest accordingly as they may be congen nat to its members. Since the above was written it has been announced that the Drama Laurel ue has named Mr. Gilpin among the ten most distinguished contributors to dramatic art last year and that an invitation will be sent to him. The ten named are as follows: Dudley Diggs, selected for" his acting in "Horabreak House"; Gilda Vereis, selected in "Eater Mamie"; David Belleau, selected on "Dobarau"; Eulene O'Neill, selected for "The Empress Jones"; Ben Aim, for his acting in "Samson and Delilah"; Charles Gilpin for his acting in "The Emperor Jones"; Lloyd Alwil, for his acting in "Dobarau"; Lee Simon son as scenic artist in staging "Heart break House"; Margaret Severn for her use of masks in dances in "The Newwich Village Policies"; Fred Stenwich former comic artist Mr. Gilpin has not yet said what. or he will answer. But there is every reason to think he will act with as much judgment now as he has herefore. (New York Age.) The usual Venom Service was held on last Sunday afternoon. Miss Beatrice Edmunds presided over the program. M. J. B. Matthews, Union University delivered the address on 'Woman's Place in the World.' A solo 'This is My Tank,' song by Mr. Walter White concluded the program. On next Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock the program will be in charge of Miss L. M. Zollors, Hartshorn Memorial College.

Because of renewed activities of night riders around Bridgeport and other Alabama towns, appeal has been made to Federal authorities for protection by residents who have been attacked in their homes and the jail at Scottsboro is under special guard of State law enforcement officers as a precaution against mob violence as an aftermath of night riding in that section the post week. ARREST ALLEGED PARTICIPANTS According to reliable information reaching here today the farmers in the Bridgeport and Stenson sections are keyed up to a high pitch of exe-ment over the developments of the past few days, Jodie Beavers and John Brown, tow farmers arrested Saturday afternoon by State Law enforcement officers sent to Jackson County by Governor Kibly, are confined in the jail at Scottsboro; Brown suffering from a wound alleged by arresting officers to have been sustained in the course of a raid on the home of Harry McGowan Thursday night by a band of fifteen or twenty night riders. Both Beavers and Brown it is said, have been identified by McDowan as members of the gang of alleged night riders who attacked this home. Both men deny having participated in the raid. Appeal for Federal aid is made in the form of a petition signed by citi-zens of Slovenian and addressed to United State Deputy Marshall Hack worth as follows: "Things have taken on a shape here during the last two or three days, which is something awful. Several men have been taken out, and beaten up terribly and something is going to have to be done. If something is not done we feel that we will have something happen soon, which will be a very bad affair, and some good citizens will get themselves in trouble. You should come here at once if you possibly can." Information reaching Chattanooga today stated that night riders in Jackson County, Ala., of which Sooats bore is the county seat, have drugged men from their homes and whip ped them unmercifully, and others have been warned to join the tenant's union or take the consequences. Members of the union while denying any part in the outrages, are charged with either taking part or inspiring these attacks. It is alleged that the night riders are attempting to enforce the principles of the tenant's union, the raide being on homes of tenants who have refused to join. FORTY SHOTS FIRED Following the outbreak of night riding men who have received warnings have asked aid of neighbors and on the night of the raid on the McGowan home who latter had been joined by three friends. A party of masked men appeared early in the night and called for McGowan to come out. Recognizing the callers as night riders McGowan and his friends opened fire, which was returned by the masked band, about forty shots being exchanged. The attackers then fled and it is believed that some of them were wounded as the battle was at close range. Sixteen law enforcement officers were dispatched to the scene by Govorner Kilby after this raid, and Beavers and Brown were placed under arrest. JAPAN WILL INSIST ON MANDATE OVER YAP. Tokio, Feb. 27.—Japan will insist upon its mandate to the Island of Yap according to authoritative Japanese opinion. The protest of the United States government to the council of the league of nations has aroused great interest in Japan as a new move on a matter which has already been lengthily, but thus far unsuccessfully, discussed directly by the governments of Japan and the United States. It is explained here that Japan bases her claim as mandator on the final decision of the Supreme Council in May 1919, which handed over the German islands, north of the equator to Japan without mention of reservation. If President Wilson made oral reservations regarding Yap at previous deliberations of the council, it is declared that Japan was not represented ed and has no official cognizance of this. Japan will take the stand that the mandate means control of the cables on the same status as Germany prior to the war. During the war Japan diverted the Yap end of the cable from Shanghai to the Loo-Choo (Liu-Kiu) Islands, between Japan and Formosa, for administrative purposes. Therefore, cable communication from America to Shanghai by way of Guam and Yap does not exist. It is understood that Japan has suggested to the United States to lay a cable direct to Shanghai from Guam as a substitute for the Yap route. Among the newspapers, the Nichi Nishi jokes the view that the United States is in no position to interterror because it has not ratified the peace treaty and has not entered the league. But it adds, considering America's share in winning the war, it would be immoral not to consider the contentions of America. The Hochi Shimbuin expressed the opinion that America's absence from the league does not imply that she renounces the right to question league decisions affecting important world matters. FIRST MT.

Forces Way Into Prison; Uses Blow Torch to Burn Through Cell Door. Athens, Ga., Feb. 16.—John Lee Eberhardt, a young colored man arrested today as murderer of Mrs. Walter Lee wife of an Oconee County farmer was taken from jail here tonight by a robber estimated at 3,000 persons and burned to death near the scene of the crime. The woman was found shot to death this morning near her name, and search was begun for Eberhardt who was suspected. When he applied for work about noon at a fraternity house he colored janitor recognized him and knowing he was sought informed the police. Word of the man's arrest spread over into Oconee County and during the afternoon crowds began to gath er in Athens, but in orderly fashion. Sheriff Walter Jackson ordered his deputies on duty to protect the jail which is on the top floor of the Clark County Courthouse. The crowd suddenly gathered around the courthouse late tonight, battered down the doors and broke in windows in order to get into the courthouse and resisting the efforts of the sheriff and his deputies climbed the stairway to the jail. With a blow torch members of the mob burn ed their way into the cell and seized the man. No shots were fired. Eberhardt, who maintained his in noonce to the last, was rushed from the jail and over into Oconee County, where he was burned at the stake just across the road from where Mra. Lee was found dead. U. 8. NAVAL BASE IN LIBERIA IS RUMORED. Madrid, Feb. 27.—Reports are in circulation here that Liberia will owe to the United States a naval base on the western coast of Africa in return for a loan which C. D. B. King, President of the little republic, has gone to America to negotiate. In commencing on the subject the Nuevo Mundo speculated upon the position of Spanish colonies along the African coast if such a project should be carried out. The newspaper argues that an American loan would be the first step to ward the establishment of the United States on African soil, and suggests that owing to their perilous position, Spanish Guinea, Rio de Oro and Fernando Po might be sold with advantage to the United States. As an alternative to such a gale the newspaper says it might be well to ask where the rumored American-Li berian agreement was leased, because Spanish possessions there would be indefeable if an American naval base should be established in Li bela, and Spain would maintain her sovereignty only with the permission of Washington. JUSTICE TO ARMY OFFICERS. Washington, Feb. 27.—In order to remedy the injustice done the officers of the national Army who served in the World War and were not attached to the Regular Army, the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House has favorably reported a bill which contains this provision. That any officer who has served in the military forces of the United States during the war with Germany and who does not belong to the Regular Army and who incurred disabilities while in the service during the said war and who is honorably discharged shall be entitled, during the continuance of disability, to the same compensation that like officers of the Regular Army receive on being retired, for like disability. In case of disability the Regular Army officer is retired on three-fourths pay as is the provisional officer. The national guard officer, the reserve officer the national army officer, the temporary or emergency officers disabled in the line of duty, is absolutely barred from the benefits or aid of retirement or equal provision in lieu of retirement. All were on the same footing as to work and risks for they suffered the same hardships. # 1000 ENDOWMENT PAID. Orange, N. J., 1921.

"POPULAR FOR GENERATIONS" PLANTENS C & C OR BLACK CAPSULES A Preparation of COMPOUND CUBAIBA and CUBEBS AT YOUR DRUGGIST Ask for BLEND ONLY, would substitute THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Washington, Feb. 27.—Representative Julius Kahn of California, the veteran chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee who was born in Baden, Germany, and nevertheless put through the selective draft law over the opposition of Representative Dent of Alabama chairman of the committee during the war, has favorably reported a bill providing for the burial of an unknown American soldier killed on the field of battle in France. The Republican Congress has already assisted the veterans of the World War by the enactment of the vocational education bill and import ant amendments to the War Risk in surrender act and the House has pass of the bonus bill. Now it is about to fittly propiate the memory of those who died in France and are buried in unknown graves by burial of one of their number in the Memorial Amphitheatre at Arlington, Va. On that occasion the President, his cabinet, the members of the House and Senate and many distinguished in public life will attend and pay tri忙 to those Americans who lost their lives and rest on foreign soil. The occasion will probably be Memorial Day of this year. SAVES BIG SUM IN NAVY Washington. Feb. 27.—The naval appropriation bill as reported to the House contains a saving to the tax payers of $284,011,237. The estimate or requests which were made by Secretary Daniels, amounted to that much above what the Committee on Appropriations finally decided upon as sufficient to met the needs of the country's defense on the sea. Not satisfied with this, the committee cut down the navy bill of the government to $37,775,129 less than the appropriations for the present fiscal year. Computing the $29,358,000 for increased pay and the $61,540,000 in supplemental appropriations which were not included in the bill, the amount is really less $89,335,000 than during the present year. This large reduction has been brought about by providing for a naval enlisted force of 100,000 men in instead of 143,000 and for a force of marines of 20,000 instead of 27,400 men; by allotting a reduction in material costs during the next year; by a reduction in fuel costs and by reductions in ship construction work. The total amount provided for the navy is $395,604,444 PARK ARMY TO THE BONE Washington, Feb. 27.—How the Republican House of Representatives saved nearly four hundreds of millions of the people's money by the cortuages paring of Army appropiations to the bone may be told in a few figures. The estimates submitted to Congress by the War Department in general and Secretary Baker in particular are called for an openditure of $692,811,007 during the next fiscal year. This sum was based upon an Army of the maximum size of 280,000 private and 47,000 officers. The House promptly cut this down to 175,000 and when the President vetoed the bill, insisted upon its economy over his veto by an almost unanimous vote. This may be further cut down to 150,000 men. The Committee on Appropriations recommended $328,861,123 as enough for the maintenance of the Army. This is a reduction of $63,697,242, under the Army appropriation act for the current year and a reduction of $322,558,365, under the estimates made by Secretary Baker. The appropriations are based up on an enlisted force of 150,000 men, exclusive of the Philippines. Scouts which number about 6,500 enlisted men and the Flying Cadets numbering 2,500. Provision is also made for 14,000 commissioned officers an increase of 1,000. FULTON NOTES Wednesday evening, February 23, Rev. Garland of the Second Baptist Church, South Richmond, preached at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church, for the benefit of the Tribe of Joseph Club of and Church. Every one present enjoyed the message. Friday night, February 25 the Fulton Civic League, Colored, held its regular meeting with Mrs. Mary Jordon, vice-president, preaching. The speaker of the evening was Hon. J. T. Carter, who delivered a real heart to heart talk. Our hearts were made to burn while he talked to us by the way. Many good things he said along the lines of uplifting the community. He laid great stress on our coming together in unity and operation. He also begged us to see to it that we have the right weapon in our hands, along the economic and political lines. Mrs. Rosa B. Atkins, the speaker of the house on the female side and Mr. R. W. Whiting on the male side, bogged us also to stick together. Mr. Carter also emphasized the religious interest of every man and woman in whatsover world he or she is working. The two weaknesses of a nation were registration and voting. The response to the address was delivered by Mr. A. D. Daniel, Mrs. Olivy Orange Daniel, of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company presented Hon. J. T. Carter with some very choice words. The Sunday School services at the Mt. Cavlary Church were excellent. Remarks were had from Mr. Beverly Valentine and Mr. Frank Jeter, both ex-superintendents of the school. The explanation of the lesson by the pastor was good. The school was dismissed by Mr. Nathaniel Yates, ex-assistant superintendent and pre-sided over by ex-assistant superintendent, Mr. C. B. Jefferson. The Union Revival Services with bog on the first Sunday in March. Rev. Bon Ruffin, of Boydton, Va. will conduct the services. The evangelist committee to take charge of the work in the Sunday Schools for the three weeks are, Rev. Cobbs, Clarko, Fuller Coleman and Jefferson. Sunday morning Rev. Cobbs delivered a soul stirring sermon from the subject, "A Stone Cut Out of the Mountain Without Hands." The choir sang sweetly and in accord with the sermon preached. Rev. Cobbs preached at the New Baptist Church at 3:30. He surely did warm things and put us to thinking about doing more mission work for the Lord. 8:30 P. M. we witnessed a sacred concert. The solos and recitations were very beautiful and we listened attentively to a short address coming from Rev. E. B. Ndhlaz. We were delighted as he spoke concerning Africa and its religious needs. $100 00 ENDOWMENT PAID Richmond, Va., Feb. 26, 1921 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Worthy Counselor of the Grand Court of Va., Order of Calauthe ($100 00) One Hundred dollars in payment of the death claim of sister Virginia Scott who was a member of Mechanics Court No. 45 of Richmond, Va.

If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair; that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt; can easily be used at trifling expense by simply dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox (which you can get at any druggles) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid-enough as it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and plant while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a furfiness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After a canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure. Free tral offer. Send two conta to cover postage. Address: H. S. PETENSON & CO. Dept. 213, 212 W. Kinzie St., Chicago, Illinois.

LAURA DRYANT, 2265 Posee Avenue, Houston, Texas. Cured His RUPTURE Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely curd me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 1070-G Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured—you may save a life or at least stop the mishy of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.
