SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Qx Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.00 People who believe most in talking be live but little in doing. People, who are in Heaven do not bother people upon the earth. People who criticise should be in the position of people who know. There is no schedule of departure and arrival in automobile travel. Mos: people talk Heaven and act in a manner to go to the other place. Save your money and you will be glad you did so a few years from now. You cannot please everybody, but you should please everybody that you can. The seer, who wrote that "Young men may die, but old men must" was right. Leaving this world is sad business. Coming into it does not concern the average individual. The Allies can and wont pay the United States and Germany can't and wont pay the Allies. President Harding seems to be keeping his hearings and to be engaged in watchful waiting. Buying trouble is an old saying, but numbers of people in this day and time are purchasing in. Some people are fatalists. They be lieve that you die only when your time comes and not before. Many colored children are not raised right and that is why many colored people do not live right. Pray without ceasing does not mean for you to loaf and stop work in order to follow out this divine injunction. Some people have not dealt with the truth for so long a time that they do not recognize the truth when they see it. The grave-yard is not a popular place, but many people work faithful ly to go there and do not seem to know it. Climbing **up** the golden stairs was the subject of song and story, but now it should be changed to climbing down the golden stairs. Most people have a private axe to grind and when they can they grind it, regardless of whose grinding stone they are using. --- Young folks think that old folks are cools and old folks know that you are folks are foolish. There are exceptions to both rules, however. Food prices, like wages are coming down. Good food, properly prepared to great health proverse. The world ends with every individ ual who goes out of this world. This country that started out for freedom is now one of restricted liberties. The people who are protesting against Eugene V. Debs' release should be ashamed of themselves. Some people will eat no meat and some other people will not sit down to a meal of victuals without meat. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson is having the time of his life with the Georgia office-seekers and those in other parts of the country. When you need help, the good Lord will give it to you, but you must first help yourself and then the good Lord will help you to help yourself. It begins to look as though it will cost France as much to collect the reparations alleged to be due her by Germany as the total amount. Be polite and obliging colored folks, to white folks. Never fail to be polite and obliging to colored folks as well. Most people who have been making good money have been spending good money and there is but little of this good money left. Some people are too quarreisome and disagreeable to permit any one to associate with them. It is well enough to be this way when there is a cause for it, but there is soldom a cause for it. Sliding down a hill seems to be the object and attainment of most people in this world. Many of them though are climbing up the hill with the determination to sit on the top and rest a while. --- If you want to be unpopular, save your money. If you want to be popular, spend your money. The latter plan will save you from want in old age and the former plan will land you in the poor house at the same time. Colored people should not fail to use every opportunity to win the friendship of their white neighbors. When you can do them a favor, do it. It will not be long before they will do colored folks a favor. Some people believe in fate, that is that a person does not die until his time comes. Some other people believe that you can hasten that time by riotous living and by disregarding the laws of nature. In which class do you belong --- We have never yet seen or understood how the incarceration of Bugene V. Dicks in the penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia could result other wise than in injury to this country and in the destruction of some of its most cherished ideals. He should not be pardoned. He should be released. We do not agree with his theories or the principles of his Parity but he has as much right to his optouts as we have to ours and he should be permitted to express them. "Truth fears nothing but concealment." A Georgia jury has vindicated the fair name of that State by the conviction of John S. Williams, who was on trial for the murder of eleven colored farm hands. We have not lost faith in the white people of the South land. We are of the opinion that the dawn of a brighter and better day is at hand. When a Georgia jury finds a white man guilty of killing Negroes and a Georgia Judge in accordance with the findings of that white jury sentences him to penitentiary for life it is direct evidence that all of the white friends of right and justice are not dead. Law-abiding colored people can THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA afford to take courage. We still believe than we shall be able during this decade to secure all of our rights and privileges directly from the white people of the Southland amongst whom we were raised and who are primarily responsible for the present progress that we are now making. We have blundered to success and we do not propose to blunder again towards failure. Virginia and Georgia are marching hand in hand in according to the colored people their fundamental rights under the law. Let us take courage. A LYNCHER IS CONVICTED IN VIRGINIA. Wonders will neyer cease. A white jury sitting in a courthouse at Houston, Va., with Judge W. R. Barksdale, one of the ablest jurists in the State presiding on Thursday, April 7th, 1921 brought in a verdict of guilty against John H. Draper, white charged with attempting to break into the Houston jail recently and attempting to take therefrom a colored man, named Coleman, who was suspected of killing a white man. It subsequently developed that there was not a scintilla of evidence against Coleman to connect him with the crime, although members of this same mob burned to the ground his home and destroyed the year's crop in his barn. Draper is the son of the proprietor of the Hallifax Inn. The punishment was a fine of five hundred dollars and confinement for twelve months in the same jail that he attempted to destroy. The primary purpose of the penalty was to punish him for attacking the law and to put in discard the machinery of government guaran teed to mete equal and exact justice to all men. This action will have a salary effect upon these lawless parties. When crime is committed, the task of punishing the guilty rests with the officers of the law and with the courts. The law-abiding elements in Hall-fax county will breathe easier now that the majesty of the law has been upheld and its principles vindicated. Southern white people are now viewing conditions from twentieth century angles and with them rest the prospects and hopes of the colored people. We yet believe that the time will come when both black and white, rich and poor in our beloved section will stand together and the lawless elements of both races will come to understand that the day of unrest and misunderstanding between the races has gone never to return. --- VETERAN UNDERTAKER DEAD The "Old Master" is dead. A. D. Price, the veteran undertaker breathed his last in Richmond Hospital, this city, Saturday night, April 9, 1921 after one of the most spectacular struggles to live ever seen in this city. He was aroused to the seriousness of his case Wednesday, April 6, 1921 and then the most noted specialists were called in in an effort to save his life. It was too late. He was a remarkable character. From abject poverty, he arose to be one of the most influential colored men in this State. He hold high positions among his people and at the time of his departure was apparently in his prime. hardie or a tragedy. Now, if any of his friends were aware of his dangerous condition. He was limping around but no one believed or suspected that it was the "limp of death." He had limped before. He had been hobbling on crutches before. But now he is gone. The Price white collars on the Price horses will soon disappear for ever and the name of A. D. Price will ever become only a memory. It reminds us that this is a life of disappointments, of bereavements and of death. His troubles are over. His long nights of valiant service that has built up a business that is a credit to any community are over. We, with bowed head drop a tear over his bier and express the opinion that in this life, we shall never gaze upon his like again. PRESIDENT HARDING'S MESSAGE President Warren G. Harding's message to Congress is in keeping with his pre-election pledges and will be heartily endorsed by all who have taken the time to observe present-day conditions. The distinguished Ohioan has surrounded himself with the ablest statesmen and jurists in the country. Secretary of State Hughes has transmitted communications to foreign no reason in the world for the United States of America to involve itself in the broils of Europe and the country can cooperate with the League of nations without actually being a member of that great organization. The necessity for an immediate peace with the Central Powers has been apparent for sometime. American groups on foreign soil should be at once withdrawn. President Wilton went into office upon the slogan that "he kept us out of war and he went out of office with the cry, "He kept us out of peace." The revision of the tax rates is essentially necessary and the shortsighted democratic statesmen did not seem to know and to understand that high freight rates throttle business just as high passenger fares reduce travel. People are using the reads instead of the railroads, where ever possible. His condensation of lynching is appropriate and it will be for the Congress to decide in what way this evil hall be men, and throttled. The message is the handwork of a statesman and it is evident that the Republican Party of the nation through its true and tried officials has now settled down to the task of olimnating the fobiles and follies of a democratic administration and in promulgating policies which will ensure a stable government and place the people of this country upon the highway to prosperity. The Star of Zion publishes a most interesting account of the trip of its representative to this city and of his experiences while here. We regret that we did not meet this widely known editor during his visit and hope we are in North Carolina to be able to call on Editor W. J. Wills and extend him the compliments of the season. Read a good colored newspaper, colored folks, and pay for the good colored newspaper that you read. A. D. PRICE DEAD (Continued from First Page) would bury you if you did not have the money. Truly our friend has fallen asleep. A venture to say that if his books were examined, you would rind that he had more unpaid claims than those he had collected. THE LAST TRIBUTE He demonstrated what we could do despite our handcaws and environments, despite the fact that he belonged to the despised race. He was a humanitarian, a benefactor and philanthropist. We have lost a friend. He then analyzed conditions relative to Luzarus, made a most pathetic appeal for the gon and widow that the deceased hadleft behold and then concluded his discourse. Prayer was offered by Rev. H. R. Williams D. D. The hymn was lined by Rev R. O. Johnson and then the mournful procession passed out to the family platin in Evergreen Cemetery. There the scene was impressive. The casket rested on a cataffee and then masons conducted their services. The last word said A. D. Price was left to take his long and last sleep. SOUTHERN AID RESOLUTIONS. The unexpected closing of the match less and inspiring. Title of our president and follow director, Mr. A. D. Price on Saturday, April 9, 1921 came as a thunderbolt to us—his co-workers; and so sudden and heartreading was his transition from our midst, that we find, ourselves at this time, without words to express our imprearable loss thru his death; And, being conscious of our own great loss we can the more deeply sympathize with his wife, son and relatives in this their hour of bereavement. When we recount—his intense reliance on his Maker, as demonstrated by his insistence on asking a divine guidance before entering into any business; his devotion to his loved ones; his unbounded charity to all; his ever outstretched hand to help in every movement put forth for tax advancement of his people; his many activities in behalf of his community; and his nurturing labors and sacrifices for 17 years in behalf of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Incorporated.—as a stockholder, director, president and chairman of the Executive Committee—we are forced to exclaim, as did David of old—"that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel." We therefore extend to his that our Heavenly Father, who knows family our deepest sympathy and pray our demos shrulu omwyp bkgjfjl: the frailties of His children may susain and comfort them in this hour of trial. And although we know that no record can ever portray the full measure of his services and sacrifices for his follow man, yet we deem it proper that some simple testimonial of his labors should be recorded in the annals of the organization, for which he gave so much of his life. Therefore we resolve that this testimonial he spread upon the records of the Society, a copy sent to the family and also published in the press of this city. Done by address of F. H.

Must Pay Reparations to Limit of Her Ability is Country's Stand. GERMANS SUGGEST AN INTER NATIONAL LOAN No Change in Nation's Stand. Even Though Treaty Has Not Been Signed. WANT FAIR PLAY IN MATTERS Express Hope That Negotiations May Be Opened with Powers and Whoio Matter Settled. Washington, April 4.—Paraphrasing of the informal exchanges between the German American governments regarding reparations, in which the United States holds Germany "norally bound to make reparation, so far as may be possible," were made public today at the State Department. Describing the German communication as an "unequivocal expression" of the recognition of that obligation, the American reply expresses the hope that renewed negotiations which Germany says it plans to initiate "may lead to prompt settlement which will at the same time satisfy the just claims of the allies and permit. Germany hopefully to renew its productive activities. SUGGEST INTERNATIONAL LOAN Included in the German communication is a suggestion that the only solution of the reparations problems is in international loan in favor of which the allied and associated powers would waive the general mortgage on German assets created by the treaty of Versailles. In this connection the German government says it "would not be unwilling to assume the obligation of the interest and the amortization of the allied and associated powers within the limit of her capacity." Germany invites the examination "by unbested experts of its own ability to make payment," and says she stands ready to meet any proposal which appears feasible "for the solution of the economic and financial problems of Europe." The American reply makes no reference either to the proposed consolation of allied debts as a German obligation or the suggestion for the determination by unbested experts of the ability of Germany to pay. READY TO OFFER GOOD OFFICES Another consideration with regard to reparation presented by Germany is that of the rehabilitation of devastated regions. The German government says it stands ready to offer to France good offices and resources in whatever form is acceptable. It asserts that for the immediate rehabilitation of the devastated regions it has "repeatedly probed labor," and its ideal advice and maternal assistance but that these offers have not been accepted. Germany declares that there exists in France only a limited degree of concern for the rehabilitation of the devastated regions, because advance indemnities have been given to former occupants of the soil who have settled in other parts of France, and the work of clearing the war areas "has been undertaken by influential groups of promoters, who are making no effort to expedite the performance of their contracts." IN FORM OF MEMORANDUM The German communication is in the form of a memorandum of Dr. Walter Simons, Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated March 23, and transmitted through American Commissioner Dressel at Berlin, who has had informal conversations with the German government on the subject for some time. The American reply is officially termed a "statement" sent to Commissioner Dressel for communication to Dr. Simons. It is dated March 29, and follows: HUGHES' NOTE The State Department issued the following statement: "The Secretary of State instructed the American Commissioner at Berlin to make the following statement to the Germa uMinister for Foreign Affairs. The American government is pleased in the informal memorandum of Dr. Simons at the unequivocal expression on the part of the German government of its desire to afford reparation up to the limit of German ability to pay. This government stands with the governments of the allies in holding Germany responsible for the war and therefore morally bound to make reparations so far as may be possible. The recognition of this obigation, implied in the memorandum of Dr. Simons, seems to the government of the United States she only sound basis on which can be built a firm and just peace under which the various nations of Europe can achieve once more economic independence and stability. This government believes that it recognizes in the memorandum of Dr. Simons a sincere desire on part of the German government to reopen the negotiations with the allies onto new basis and hopes that such negotiations once resumed, may lead to a prompt settlement which will at the same time satisfy the just claims of the allies and permit Germany hope fully to renew activities.

PREMIER ANSWER SIMONS NOT U. S. UPHOLDS ALLIES. --- Must Pay Reparations to Limit of Pct Ability is Country's Stand. GERMANS SUGGEST AN INTER NATIONAL LOAN No Change in Nation's Stand. Even Though Treaty Has Not Been Signed. WANT FAIR PLAY IN MATTER Express Hope That Negotiations May Be Opened With Powers and Whole Matter Settled. Washington, April 4.—Paraphrasing of the informal exchanges between the German American governments regarding reparations, in which the United States holds Germany "inherently bound to make reparation, so far as may be possible," were made public today at the State Department. Describing the German communication as an "unequivocal expression" of the recognition of that obligation, the American reply expresses the hope that renewed negotiations which Ger many says it plans to initiate may lead to prompt settlement which will at the same time satisfy the just claims of the allies and permit. Ger many hopefully to renew its productive activities. SUGGEST INTERNATIONAL LOAN Included in the German communication is a suggestion that the only solution of the reparations problems is in international loan in favor of which the allied and associated powers would waive the general mortgage on German assets created by the treaty of Versailles. In this connection the German government says it "would not be unwilling to assume the obligation of the interest and the amortization of the allied and associated powers within the limit of her capacity." Germany invites the examination "by unbested experts of its own ability to make payment," and says she stands ready to meet any proposal which appears feasible "for the solution of the economic and financial problems of Europe." The American reply makes no reference either to the proposed consolldation of allied debts as a German obligation or the suggestion for the determination by unbested experts of the ability of Germany to pay. READY TO OFFER GOOD OFFICES Another consideration with regard to reparation presented by Germany is that of the rehabilitation of devastated regions. The German government says it stands ready to offer to France good offices and resources in whatever form is acceptable. It asserts that for the immediate rehabilitation of the devastated regions it has "repeatedly proffered labo, . . ." medical advice and medical assistance but that these offers have not been accepted. Germany declares that there exists in France only a limited degree of concern for the rehabilitation of the devastated regions, because advance indemnities have been given to former occupants of the soil who have settled in other parts of France, and the work of clearing the war areas "has been undertaken by influential groups of promoters, who are making no effort to expedite the performance of their contracts." IN FORM OF MEMORANDUM The German communication is in the form of a memorandum of Dr. Walter Simons, Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated March 23, and transmitted through American Commissioner Dressel at Berlin, who has had informal conversations with the German government on the subject for some time. The American reply is officially termed a "statement" sent to Commissioner Dressel for communication to Dr. Simons. It is dated March 29, and follows: HUGHES' NOTE The State Department issued the following statement: "The Secretary of State inscribed the American 'Commissioner at Berlin' to make the following statement to the Germa nMinister for Foreign Affairs. The American government is pleased in the informal memorandum of Dr. Simons at the unequivocal expression on the part of the German government of its desire to afford reporation up to the limit of German ability to pay. This government stands with the governments of the allies in holding Germany responsible for the war and therefore morally bound to make reparations so far as may be possible. The recognition of this obligation, implied in the memorandum of Dr. Simons, seems to the government of the United States she only sound basis on which can be built a firm and just peace under which the various nations of Europe can achieve once more economic independence and stability. This government believes that it recognizes in the memorandum of Dr. Simons a sincere desire on part of the German government to reopen the negotiations with the allies on a new basis and hopes that such negotiations once resumed, may lead to a prompt settlement which will at the same time satisfy the just claims of the allies and permit Germany hope fully to generate activities.

The statement concerns the return of Mat America. ‘Phe stitement iM ene paper reads as follows: | WILL, GARVEY GH BACK! Srarhere ts strong suspleton in these pants thay one Maveus Garvey, who has a Negro propaganda which Is function Ing like none other, will be unable to, get hack into the United States after his sojourn in the West Indies. He in tends yo return here in April. Garvey Is not a clgizon of the United States but u foreigner. It would be compnrtive ly easy for the Unrted States Govern ment if there was any disposition to do s0 to keop Gurvoy out of the Unit ‘ed States on the ground that his pro pagunda fs stirring up American Ne groes as they fhave never been stir ed up before so constituting him an -undersirable alien. “On the othor hand tt ts pointed out that the Garvey movement has many strong Heutenants who are American citizens and tht even if the leader, Marcus Garvey is kept out of the coun try, his propaganda will only be in creased in effectiveness by the adver tisement which — such a movement would receive. ‘Garvey is expected in Washington in April as provisional president of te colored peoples of the world. Tle fs 10 open headquarters in the Black House at the Whitelaw Hotel and pro coed to fiction as president, of al) the black peopt# everywhere.” We do not know the couree from which the Associated Negro Press do rived is authoritybut we are in clined to believe that, the wish fs farth or to the thought, but before we tako up the main issue we desire o corzect some misstatements. We desire to say first that His Tx cellency (ho Hon, Marcus Garvey is not the vrovisional president of the colored peoples of the world. He Is President-General of the Universal Ne Gro Improvement Association and Pro visional President pf Africa. Secondly, the Hon. Mares Garvey will not open headawarters in Wash ington, D. C., to function as president of ull the black people everywhere, hue the Rev. J. W. TH. Bason, tho American leader, will open up head quarters as a leader of American Ne: Broos. Now to the question at issue. Wo have thoroughly read and reread the constitution of the Universal Negro Tmprovement Association and finding nothing therein that confllets with Constitution of the United Skates _of America. ‘There is nothing In fife Can stitution of ithe United States of America (and we have heard the fam ous William Graham Summer of Yale University, Dean Robinson of the Catholie ‘University and ‘Dr. Phelps, U. S. Minister to the Court of" St. James, comment upon it.) which for bids American citizens going to Afrk en as missionaries, educators, mpot- fers, exporters, or commercial devel opers or colouizers. Tf the represon- tutives of the Assoctated Negro Pross know of sich clause or ckutses, * we would he grateful for such informat- ion. We nre not legal experts and are always glad for light from legal geni- uses: » The Roman Catholic Church with organizations in every civilized coun: try in the world, with the seat of pu- pal authori w fn Rome, Maly, shows that an organization non-poli'eal ranv function in several countries without Aisturbing the politieal equilibrium of the counsries in wsich it functons. The stztement that we are diseus sing says that Garvey’s “Propaganda is stirring up American Nogroes na as they have never been stirred up before, so constituting him an unde- sirable alien." Yes, the Ton. Marcus Gurvey has stirred up the American Negroes us they have never been stirred up ho fore, but ho whas he stirred them up He has stirred them up to stop wast: ing thefr money in gay and riotous liv ing and expensive clothes and invest it in business enterprises. He has stirred them up te form n world-wide organization. He hus stirred them up to organize a Negro Factories Corpor ation. He has stirred them up to or: gunize n steamship line. He has. stir: ed them up to start a Universal Con struction Loan. the purpose of aiding, commercial and industrial develop: ment of Liberia. ie has stirred them UP to see in Afrien not a continent of jungles and deserts, but a land teem ing with unbounded vegetable and mineral wealth. He has stirred them up to see in the African not a savage or cannibal, Int a Thunan ‘hemg ero ated in the divine image, with infin ite capacity for spiritual growth and development. He has stirred them Wp to see that by tseir deeds and achievements they must write a new page in the world’s history. Ho has suirved them up to gee that the Gad ot Nature does not draw the color Une, but estimates n man by his sont and measures a man by his mind We fail 4o see, that there is ayy thing in the (so-cilled Garvey move ment contrary to the Declaration of American Indopendence, the Constitu tion of the United States ,the 12h, 14th and 16ch emendments, Lincoln's Getivihare encnak oc oe ‘the Bible rays that the Negro: ts) woman. ‘The Constitution of the Unit ed Stales says the Negro isa than.

The State met this evi tleneo with rebuttal, necounging — for Draper's presence with the mob at the time he sald he was at the hotel. The arguments started (his after noon. The defense made little or no reference “4 the unwritten Inw of the white man but assailed the State's ease on the ground that the witnesses against Draper were accomplices, seek ing to “unload” ion the accused, To ‘Phe Fiitor of ‘The Richmond Planet: {| Sir—It may not be amiss ip give ex pression to a few thoughts concerning our private or individusl U.N. 1.

J.D, BYU, P,Q [8 "b02'12 N Becona Street. GARVEY'S RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. Our attention has been called to a statement which was sent out by the Associated Negro Press and reproduced in several colored newspapers. The statement concerns the return of Marcus Garvey to the United States of America. The statement in one paper reads as follows: WILL GARVEY GET BACK? "There is strong suspicion in these parts than one Marcus Garvey, who has a Negro propaganda which is tuneful like none other, will be unable to get back into the United States after his sojourn in the West Indies. He in tends to return here in April. Garvey is not a citizen of the United States but a foreigner. It would be competitive ly easy for the United States Government if there was any disposition to do so to keep Garvey out of the Unit Ed States on the ground that his pro paganda is stirring up American Negroes as they have never been attr ed up before so constituting him an undersirable alien. "On the other hand it is pointed out that the Garvey movement has many strong lieutenants who are American citizens and that even if the leader, Marcus Garvey is kept out of the country, his propaganda will only be in increased in effectiveness by the adver tisement which such a movement would receive. "Garvey is expected in Washington in April as provisional president of the colored peoples of the world. He is to open headquarters in the Black House at the Whiteclaw Hotel and proceed to function as president of all the black people everywhere." We do not know the course from which the Associated Negro Press drove its authority, but we are inclined to believe that the wish is farther to the thought, but before we take up the main issue we desire to correct some misstatements. We desire to say first that His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey is not the provisional president of the colored peoples of the world. He is President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Provisional President of Africa. Secondly, the Hon. Marcus Garvey will not open headquarters in Washington, D.C., to function as president of all the black people everywhere, but the Rev. J. W. H. Eason, the American leader, will open up headquarters as a leader of American Negroes. Now to the question at issue. We have thoroughly read and reread the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and finding nothing therein that conflicts with Constitution of the United States of America. There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States of America (and we have heard the famous William Graham Summer of Yale University, Dean Robinson of the Catholic University and Dr. Phelps U. S. Minister to the Court of St. James, comment upon it.) which for bids American citizens going to Africa as missionaries, educators, importers, exporters, or commercial developers or colonizers. If the representatives of the Associated Negro Press know of such clause or clauses, we would be grateful for such information. We are no legal experts and are always glad for light from legal geniuses. The Roman Catholic Church with organizations in every civilized country in the world, with the seat of papal authority in Rome, Italy, shows that an organization non-political navy function in several countries without disturbing the political equilibrium of the countries in wich it functions. The statement that we are discus sing says that Garvey's "Propaganda is stirring up American Negroes as they have never been stirred up before, so constituting him an undesirable alien." We fail so see, that there is anything in the associated Garvey movement contrary to the Declaration of American Independence, the Constitution of the United States the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and wayPresident Woodrow Wilson's famous declarations about democracy, justice, humanity, civilization and self-determination which stirred the civilized world two and three years ago. The same cannot be said of some disfranchisement and Jim-crow clauses in some Southern States constitutions. Dr. H. Wilhelm Ellegor, the High Commissioner of the U. N. I. A. spoke officially for the Executive Council in the Negro World two weeks ago. There was nothing unconstitutional in that declaration. We sustain official relations with the African Communities League the Negro Factories Corporation and the Black Star Line which represent the practical functioning of the U. N. I. A., and believe that they are thoroughly American institutions. The Bible says that the Negro is a man. The Constitution of the United States says the Negro is a man. Modern ethnology and psychology says the Negro is a man. And we tell to see how Marcus Garvey regard the Negro as the Bible, the Constitution of the United States and modern science regard him, is an un desirable alien. America has always been broad in welcoming foreigners who desire Liberty. And we believe that the Goddess of Liberty will wye come Marcus Garvey back as she welcomed Lafayette, Pulaski, Kosciusko Carl Schurz and De Vuera. HOUSTON JAIL MORBER IS FINED AND JAILED. John H. Draper Convicted of Assault by a Jury and Assessed $500. MUST SERVE TWELVE MONTHS Witness Says Accused Man Was Rling leader of Mob and Threatened Those Who Refused to Take Part. Danville, Va., April 7—John H. Draper indicated for taking part in the storming of Halifax County jail with others was convicted of an asault by a jury at Houston this evening and fined $500 and sentenced to serve twelve months in jail. The jury was out less than an hour. This is the first time in this section of the State that an attempted lynching has been so far discountenanced as to punish the offense with imprisonment. Motion to set aside the verdict will be argued before Judge W. R. Barksdale on Saturday morning. The other fourteen white men indicted will be tried at the May term of court. STRONG BLOW AGAINST LAW LESSNESS. Commonwealth's Attorney J. N. Easley said tonight that he would not cater a nolle prosequi, and considered the verdict as a strong blow against lawlessness which would bring sober reasoning. Joe Francisco one of the indicted men turned State's evidence and, with other witnesses, described Draper as the ringleader of the mob who sought to drum up a lynching post-threatening those who refused to take part. No immunity was granted Francisco for his evidence. DRAPER ENTERS GENERAI DENIAL Draper took the stand today and corroborated other defense witnesses denying taking part in the jail storm and maintaining that with the exception of fifteen minutes to the height of the jail attack he was at the Haliax Inn a hotel operated by his father. The State met this evidence with rebuttal, accounting for Draper's presence with the mob at the time he said he was at the hotel. The arguments started this afternoon. The defense made little or no reference to the unwritten law of the white man but assailed the State's case on the ground that the witnesses against Draper were accomplices, seeking to "unload" on the accused. To The Editor of The Richmond Planet: Sir—It may not be amiss to give exposition to a few thoughts concerning our private or individual U. N. I. A. discussion—private or individual in the sense that it does not reach the public from the platform or the press. An example of such discussion is that which is carried on, by individuals in their homes, on the sece or in places of work or recreation. There are two kinds of such U. N. I. A., conversations. There is the kind that blinders and there is the kind taua helps the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In their private discussions even some well-meaning and loyal individuals—to say nothing of the selfish, short-visioned disloyal taurious ones—are liable to give expression at times to sentiments and thoughts concerning the U. N. I. A., which tend to weaken the morale of the person addressed and which if disseminated would tend to disintegrate the morale of the U. N. I. A. and the entire Negro race. Our racial morale is the products of the morale of the morale of the individuals that comprise the race. Various elements enter into combination to form the individual morale. Therefore, any private U. N. I. A. talk that tends to decrease the number and strength of the elements that constitute the individual morale, reacts in a similar way weakens the racial morale weakens upon the racial morale. Whatever weakens the effort of the Negro to achieve the objects of the U. N. I. A. For physical and material forces must be supported and engineered by intellectual moral and spiritual forces. Hence, there is a connecting link be tween mouth to mouth U. N. I. A., talk and (actual achievement of its aims. How scrupulously careful, then ought each individual job ea to the kind of sentiments he expresses concerning the Universal Negro Improvement Association! No person should complain of his personal inconveniences and discomfort which his support of the U. N. I. A., may entail. These should sink in to insignificance when compared with the great objects: the U. N. I. A. is striving to achieve for the Negro race. The Negro must attune himself more and more to thinking, feeling and acting in the broader interest of the race as a whole and less in the narrow interest of self. The further he goes in this direction the lighter becomes the burden of inconvenience or privation which his support of the U. N. I. A. may occasion. Not only should we not weaken the merile of any person by some untime THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ly and unwise remarks, but we should strive to imbue others in our person at U. N. L. A. talk with a burning desire to unite with an invincible decerimation to support, the Universal Negro Improvement Association to a victorious finish. This is the spirit with which universal Negro freedom and independence can be realized but without which the Negro is doomed to perpetual insult oppression, subjugation and ultimate extermination. Let us, then, in our private U. N. L. A. conversation reftrain from making any remarks that tends to weaken the morale of the Negro in joining and supporting the U. N. L. A. This is an ideal in accord ance with which all Negroes should acc. The newer we approach it the more we contribute to the U. N. L. A., in its gigantic, world-wide effort to make us a universally united, free independent, self-respecting, self-protecting race. WILLIAM B. BANNISTER East Pittsburgh, Pa FIRST MT.

Argo-Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy, Now Endorsed by Local People. If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essen- tial to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal, the stomach digests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs to properly perform their functions. Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo Phosphate the new herbal stomach remedy which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the statements made daily by local people who have given Argo Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby. It is dismeduced by a druggist. It is dispensed by ali druggists. THIN PEOPLE Increase weight 10 to 25 pounds per month. By simple guaranteed safe, reliable treatment.

GEORGIA MAN (Continued From First Page) old the jury Manning ignorant of the penalty for pleonage had become alarmed at the Federal investigation and that, the evidence indicated he was the only person who had a motive for the killings. Mr. King asserted the defense expected to rely largely on Williams' "stilt" which he said Williams had established "a. far as possible," by describing how he was at home the night the three colored men were killed and asserted the State had offered no legal corroboration of the testimony of a confessed accomplice as required by law. Graham Wright, assistant attorney general pointed to various testimony as corroboration and said the law left it to the jury to make final decision on that question. He termed Manning incapable of planning and carrying out the crimes "under the eyes of Williams and his family," and named Williams as the guilty man. MANNING /TO BE TRIED Manning also wilt be put on trial for the murders, it was announced to day, the exact time to be decided later, and his attorney B. Marvin Under wood said he would not enter a plea of guilty. "Clyde Manning shall not escape," declared Solicitor-General Brand, ixurging conviction of Williams. "I could not under the law permit him to escape." Manning had testified for the State that by Williams orders the men were weighted down with rocks and thrown alive into the rivers or knocked in the head and buried where they fell and Williams, taking the stand to day briefly recited all he said he knew of the deaths of Lindsey Peter son, Willie Preston and Harry Price, three drowned the same night in Newton County. He is on trial for murder of Peterson and he did not go into the other cases. DEFENDANT IS CALM The defendant accused by the State of Georgia's most atrocious murders" has watched the proceedings calmly throughout the trial, even sniffing once or twice and today he was as cool as any of the spectators who packed the courtroom almost to saffronation to hear his story. These were the first criminal charges of any kind ever filed against him, he declared, in his fifty-four years of life, and told proudly it seemed that his four grown sons, were among the first to answer the country's call to war. He admitted he might have been technically guilty of beaconing, as he had worked colored men who owed him money. He had told Federal investigators that when they first came to the farm, he added and ha dalso declared he always paid and fed these colored men. These agents replied the hands on his place were the "best fed and clothed" they had seen, he declared. If he were technically guilty of beaconing, "most Georgia farmers also were," he added. "I am absolutely innocent," he told the jury, in conclusion as he reverted to the murder charge. The State had rested earlier in the day with introduction of Rena Manning, wife of Clyde Manning and Sheriff B. L. Johnson of Newton County in an effort to corroborate his part of Manning's story. The woman testified the colored men left with Williams Manning and Charlie Chisholm the night they were last seen alive, as Manning had declared. Sheriff John son said Manning identified the three bodies found in Newton County and later confessed and told where the others could be found. The man's words were borne out by investigation, the sheriff said. WILLIAMS ONLY DEFENSE WITNESS. Williams was the only witness for the defense appearing on the stand unsworn, which, under Georgia law, prevented cross-examination. The fact that no other defense testimony was introduced permitted Williams' counsel to open and close. No limit was placed on the time of arguments, and four attorneys spoke today. Mr. King opened for the defense, followed in order, by Mr. Wright for the State; W. H. Key of Monticello, Ga., for the defense and Solicitor-General Brand for the State. W. M. Looard, former Congressman from Georgia will close for the prosecution making the first address of the day and the final plea will be made by Green F. Johnson of Monticello chief counsel for the defendant. About three hours are expected to be consumed tomorrow in argument. Charges were flung back and forth as the lawyers pleaded with the jury today. Mr. Key asserted it was "unfair" to put Williams on trial so soon after arrest—only about two weeks, he said—and, referring to Assistant Attorney-General Wright, sent by Governor Dorsey and former Congressman Howard, employed by a group of citizens told the jury "The state has deserved that if they can't convict by evidence, they take the position they will convict by lawyers."
