There under the leadership of District Deputy Grand Chancellor Henry Barrett and a local committee of Sheenas douh Lodge, the City Auditorium had been obtained and the people for miles were arranging to attend the excises. GOOD BUSINESS The automobiles were doing a good business. The vidid learned that I would be at Berryville and had actually arrived and this seemed to have added to the interest. Chancellor Commander J. L. David of Berryville was a "busy as a bon with one chicken" arranging to carry the people over that ten mile route. Sir James Edwards also active.

It was after one o'clock before we left for Winchester. THAT HIGH SPEED BUICK The Buick, six cylinder car had already made several trips with the sealed white chariot at the wheel in the person of Mr. Carl Troynes. He had not gone a mile before I envisioned if they had any speed limit in that neighborhood. He milled and gave some more gas. Then he slowed up at a dangerous curve "I went over the side there once with a joked truck," he said. I remarked that I could see that he had a valid reminder of something for that, was about the only place he had showed down. "I did not lose any of my load, either" he remarked, "or do any particular damage." THE BLACK CAT He had gone on just a bit further when a black cat ran across the road. He looked up with disgust. "I don't like that" he said. He evidently was superstitious. The room we were in Winchester, where the entertainment there resided us for our trouble. It was after 5 o'clock before the exercises were concluded. They were fine. Then we started for the return trip reaching Herryville without incident.

In your hands. With the sweep and blood of your toil, he has mingled the dew drops of Heaven and in your trail He has multiplied blessings. I thank God with you for the great delegation that met us in Stamton last May, for the great outpouring of Holy Spirit upon that session, and for the large offerings the many Churches sent up for the building of our Master's Kingdom.

Let every church be represented. If you can not possibly send a delegate, send letter and money to the President or Corresponding Secretary. Brethren our one hundred thousand dollar Administration Hall on our school grounds in Lynchburg is going up in a most pleasing way. By the time we meet in Washington, we doubt, it will be well high enclosed, it is the finest building to the credit of the race in the State of Virginia, and shall stand there as a monument to be love and labors of Colored Baptists of this generation and generations to come even after we, who now nipple our hands in the toil shall have come to be with Jesus. Our great President, R. C. Woods, A.M. is doing the work in a way that makes our hearts leap for joy. He is a virgin on the job; let us put up the money.

We are expecting you to send sufficient money for Foreign Missions to the coming session to enable us to launch a creditable foreign mission drive on African territory. Let all of the churches, associations and local conventions holding foreign mission money in your treasuries send it up to Washington. We will see that it goes to Africa and that you have an account of the same. We are asking every Baptist of the race, and all others who are interested in the great program herein stated, to give at least. One dollar each awards financing the same. This is a great denominational rally for a larger amount than any organization of the race in this section has attempted to raise at any one sitting; but the work demand* it; God's cause is calling for it. We are the sponsors and it must be forthcoming. The President has issued fifty thousand One Dollar Certificates, carrying the cut of the new building, with those of the President of the Seminary and the President of the Convention. Let every member and friend purchase one or more as service tills if you haven't one of these certificates, apply to your District Superintendent. If he cannot supply you, write your President.

Yours for the Fifty Thousand rooms for our Master's Kingdom at the coming session. T. J. KING, President, 212 Second Street Rooh, Richmond Va. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IS MADE LAW IN W.VA. Cherieleton, W. Va., April 18.—Subjecting the county to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent anti-lynch bill thus far enacted by any of the states. H. J. Capheart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, drew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, over coming the most determined opposition of the democratic minority which sought to emasculate it by proposing various amendments. As originally drawn the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,500 and made every county through which the mob might pass jointly and severally liable. To meet the objection of many of his party members and secure their support, Capheart reduced the amount to $5,000 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might all and abet the lynchers. In his fight to put the measure through, the member from McDell well had the able and active support of T. G. Nutter, Kanawa County's colored delegate, and the legislative committee of the West Virginia State League, composed of all classes of Negro citizens, of which T. Edward Hill of Keystone is president and J. C. Giltner of Charleston, is secretary. Others of the race all over the state assisted with positions, while members of the state administration and other influential citizens among the whites, both men and women contributed much to the passage of the bill. Other legislation of particular bene fit or interest to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys aid an industrial home for colored girls, introduced by delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as a true of the measure established by Governor Negro welfare and statutes. The proposal to segregate colored passengers on railroads, dismused by its disapproval author under the disposition of "A bill to provide for the arrival of passengers" was before the constitution just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing to consideration. The full crew bill, designer to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate. NOTICE! All persons who have claims against the estate of Miss Marietta L.

Names were withheld at the capital paying an investigation into the situation at the sheriff's said had been "very bad."

VIRGINIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. Richmond, Va., March 3, 1921. To the Churches Comversing the Virginia Missionary Baptist State Convention and to Those Scattered Abroad Throughout the Various States, Sharing Common Interest in the Great Work which our Lord has Laid Upon Us—Greetings; Grace he unto you and peace from God our Father abound upon you. I thank my God for you daily because of the great work laid upon you, the success which has come to that work in your hands. With the sweat and blood of your toll, He has mingled the dew days of Heaven and in your trail He has made blessings. I thank God with you for the blessings that met us in Stanford had May, for great outpouring of Holy Spirit upon that session, and for the large offerings the many Churches sent up for the building of our Master's Kingdom. By the race of God, we shall meet this year in our Fifty-fourth Annual Session with the Liberty Baptist church, Washington, D. C., Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., Pastor. At 8:00 P.M. Tuesday, May 10th, will be a great memorial conference in honor of three valiant men who have gone to their God. The late President Gregory Willis Hayes, A. M., R. H. Bowling, L.L., D. and W. Bishop Johnson, L.L., D., will be dignified. While the Convention will not open until 9:00 A.M. Wednesday, we greatly desire the delegation to be present to honor the memory of these great benefactors Tuesday night, for every Church be represented. If you can not possibly send a delegate, send letter and money to the President or Corresponding Secretary. Brethren our one hundred thousand dollar Administration Hall on our school grounds in Lynchburg is going up in a most pleasing way. By the time we meet in Washington, no doubt, it will be well nigh enclosed. It is the finest building to the credit of the race in the State of Virginia, and shall stand there as a monument of love and labors of Colored Baptists of this generation and generations come even after we, who now mime our hands in the toil shall have gone to work with Jesus. Our great President, R. C. Woods, A.M. is doing the work in a way that makes our hearts leap for joy. He is a genius on the job; let us put up the money. Our Foreign Mission program is a unique one, but a few years hence, it will be adopted by many States. Our plan is to open a Virginia Baptist Mission Station in Africa, building a new school, training men for the ministry and other professions and trades. We hope their work in the next convention year. We expect you to send up sufficient money for Foreign Missions to the coming session to enable us to launch a creditable foreign mission drive on African territory. Let all of the churches, associations and local conventions hold foreign mission money in your hands and send it up to Washington. We will see that it goes to Africa and that you have an account of the same. We are asking every Baptist of the race, and all others who are interested in the great program herein stated, to give at least One Dollar each towards financing the same. This is a great denominational rally for a larger amount than any organization of the race in this section has attempted to raise at any one sitting; but the work demand* it; God's cause is calling for it. We are the sponsors and it must be forthcoming. The President has issued fifty thousand One Dollar Certificates, caring the cut of the new building, with those of the President of the Convention. Let every member and purchaser one or more as souvenir. If you can't one of these certificates, apply to the District Superintendent. If he cannot sponsor write your President. These are intended to help each Church raise its One Dollar per member for Education and Missions to be reported our next convention. Broadcast prey for the next session of our convention. Strive to raise and send up One Dollar per member for each member on your roll. Let the delegates come prepared to stay through the convention. Yours for the Fifty Thousand Dollars for our Master's Kingdom at the coming session. T. J. KING., President, 212 Second Street Roah, Richmond, Va. MRS. LILLIAN PHILLIPS OBTAINS DIVORCE. By decree of the law and Entity Court of Richmond, entered on April 26th, 1921 Mrs. Lillian Philp of her home in New York, sent from her husband, Joseph Phillips. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IS MADE LAW IN W. VA. Charleston, W. Va., April 18.—Subjecting the county to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent anti-lynch bill thus far enacted by any of the states. H. J. Caphech, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, drew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, over coming the most determined opposition of the democratic minority which sought to emasculate it by proposing various amendments. As originally drawn the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,000 and made every county which the mob might pass jointly and securely liable. To meet the objection of the party members and secure their property, Caphech reduced the amount to $5,000 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might aid and abet the lynchers. In his fight to put the measure through, the member from McBowell had the able and active support of T. G. Nutter, Kanawa County's color delegate, and the legislative committee of the Virginia State League, composed of Negro citizens, of which T. Edwau Hill of Keystone is president and J. C. Glimer of Charleston, is secretary. Others of the race all over the state assisted with perfections, while mem bers of the state administration and municipal citizens onto the whites, both men and women contributed much to the race. Other legislation of particular home fit or race, to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys aid an industrial home for colored girls, introduced by delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as is true of the establishment a barrow of Nro webbing for segregate colored passengers on railroads, disguised by its design author under the deceptive title "A bill to provide for the content of passengers" was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing the consideration. The full crew bill, designer to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate. NOTICE! All persons who have claims against the estate of Miss Marietta L.

Wilson) Hampton, Va., April.—The Hampton Institute nine suffered defeat on Saturday, April 16, after a hard-fought contest with the Howard University team. Excitement regained throughout the game. Each team got at times what seemed to be good hits, but the fast work of the fielders prevented scoring Both pitchers recyed excellent support. "Three up and three down" was the year of each bunch of roots until the last half of the eighth, when Campbells held a safety and Long smash out a three-hagger, sending Campbell home and scoring the first run of the game. The whole buting found the visitors biting everything. Sims knocked a three-hagger in left field and Joseph knocked a single through second, bringing Sims in for a tie score. Joseph was advanced to third, and Sowell's single sent him home. Hampton failed to score in the last half and the game ended 2 to 1 with Howard on the long end. The lineup was as follows: HOWDAY—Payne, L. F.; Sewell, C. F.; McVey, R. F.; Johnson, 1B; Boln 2B; Sims, S. S.; Joseph, 3B; Taylor, P.; Kean, C. HAMPTON—Wood, L. F.; Roscoeh C. F.; Chamberlin, R.

Leigh St. He had been in church for early years, but only confined to his bed for one week. He bore his illness with Christian fortitude. His funeral took place Monday, April 18, 1921 from the First Baptist Church, of which he was a member for more than forty years. Rev. W. T. Johnson took as a text, "Though He lay me, yet I will trust in him, which was so ejected by the deceased. The sermon was very impressive. He was a member of the Marons, who had entire charge of the body, Knights of Pythias and St. Luke. In the community he was highly esteemed by both white and colored. He was a kind, devoted husband and father, his chief delight wad admin to the care and want of his family. W. I. Johnson and Sons, Inc. had charge of the funeral. Interment in Woodland Cemetery.

Payne, Executive Secretary of Community House 2 W. Marshall Street attended the State Conference of Charities and Corrections held in Norfolk, Va. April 10, 13 inclusive. She reports large attendance, splendid sessions, interesting and most instructive addresses, beneficial discussions. The following legislative program was adopted. (1) Establishment of a system of county units for the administration of social service. (2) Of district almshouses and prison farms separate units for treatment of persons suffering from communicable disease. (3) Enlargement and settlement of existing institutions for the care and training children and the feeble minded. (4) Creation ship over motion pictures. (5) The prohibition of the practice of separating mothers from infants and the suppression of maternity hospitals, which allow this to be done. A legislative committee of twelve headed by Dr. W. F. P. Drewry of Central State Hospital and Dr. John P. McConnell, retiring President, was instructed to prepare bills to be urged upon the General Assembly at its next meeting. The commission was adopted which commended the Westmoreland Davis for the appointment of a Children's Code Commission. For the first time in the history of these conferences a large delegation of Negroes was present, a part of the gathering. Numbers many supervisors in the several counties, had been commissioned by the Governor. The commission is generally but forcefully realizing the need for a member of a community must benefit the next nearest; a detriment to that same member works harm and depression in proportion. The above mentioned benefits are going to include the Negro. He is a member of the community and the State for which they are being worked out. Miss Emma L, Bailey accompanied Mrs. Payne. --- —Miss Pauline Foster, of Cleveland, Ohio, was a visitor in our city this week, while here she was the guest of Mrs. Nannie B. Davis, 103 E. Clay street. —Miss Neita Wilkerson, of Decatur street, South Richmond will leave the city next Thursday for Asbury Park. N. J. A special message to the Y. M. C. A.

Building to the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson. Did you see the crowd last Saturday? Last Sunday was a full day for service by the boys and men. Our General Secretary, Scott C. Burrell spent the day in Washington, D. C., and he made special visits to the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. His son, Mr. George R. P. Burrell, who lives in the capital gave him special attention. Nineteenth Street Baptist Church was alive from the Sunday Schubl up. Dr. Walter H. Brooks is on the line for Christ. He preached a sermon that 's still ringing out for the truth as it is' in Jesus Christ. Our Secretary is making a special study of his work, so in a few days he is to go to the far West. 9:30 A.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Four Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY.....APRIL 30, 1921 Death comes as a rule, when most are expected. Teaching school as a rule ruins the disposition of the teacher. Raising children properly is an art and too few people have acquired this art. Young girls are numerous, but most est young ones are getting mighty source. There may be a short route to Heaven, but no Christian that we have ever met has found it. Teach your children good manners, colored folks. It will enable them to get along better in this world. President Warren G. Harding has started out right, even though he may make a failure. Most people, who die are better so than most people, who continue to live in this world. Achieving results is what is wanted in this world, not simply making the effort. The Government seems to have been taking over everything. The last thing it took over was a big national debt. Colored folks are preparing to hold office under the present Republican administration. Save your money, colored folks. Buy a home. It may take a life-time to pay for it, but buy a home. It begins to look very much at though we are again drifting into an "entangling alliance with Europe." Colored people are gettting to be very much like the American people, they like to be humbugged. Rob the human family of hope and you take away from it the incen five to toil and to live uprightly. The Negro-haters are quiet for a while. They will be active again though a few months from now. The United States of America has not as yet with-drawn the troops from the Republic of Havti. Getting something for nothing is the task of the average toll-gate keeper in Virginia. Most people seem to think now that words were made to deceive and that fine dress was made for the same purpose. --- A person, who deceives you once will surely deceive you again, protestations to the contrary not withstanding: Some colored folks are so mean and insulting that other colored folks do not care to have any thing to do with them. The cry for good roads in Virginia is getting louder and louder and the bad roads in Virginia are getting "worse and worser." Labor has been rolling in wealth and it seems to have expended the wealth in which it has been rolling in fession and in riotous living. The capitalist who has been abusing his power and subjecting the kaboring elements to unjust suffering has paid the penalty. --- Some folks are never satisfied. The only way they will know that they are in Heaven will be that they find out that they are satisfied. Some people want to go to Africa and should be permitted to go there. When they get established, they should not want to come back to America. We have our sunshine and our shadows in this life. Some people prefer to walk in the shadows rather than in the sunshine. Going to church on Sunday and "raising the devil" the rest of the week will not carry you very far by the direction of the "Holy City." There are many officers of the Government, who seem to think that they are bosses of the people instead of the servants of the people. One class of bad colored folks make the white folks angry and another class of good colored folks come along and get the punishment. The Holy Bible is a wonderful book unequalled or evenly distantly ap proached by any religious work outside of the Mohammedan Koran. Yielding to temptation is a habit with some people and doing the right thing at the right time a rarity with some others. You can get to Heaven, but you must follow the direction laid down in the Scriptures in order to make the trip successfully. The labor question is still agitating governments. Fundamental principles have been cast aside and every theorist seems to have had his day Colored people, who are supporting race newspapers are doing a great service for the race. The colored press is now a power in this country. A man will make a greater sacrifice in order to publish a newspaper and to operate an automobile than anything else we know. One class of colored folks are clamoring for one thing and another class for something else. When will they get together in a common agreement? Deefit and deception, hypocrisy and falsehood seem to be the all controlling powers and influences in this country at the present time. The Government seems to be in the business of nagging and inconvenienceing most of those people who contribute most to its maintenance and support. Raising railroad rates has had a tendency to decrease travel and to multiply the number of automobile trucks and pleasure cars on the high ways. The colored folks of Pennsylvania are grieving over the defeat of the Equal Rights Bill, which had passed one branch of the Pennsylvania legis lature. ```markdown ``` Some people will eat a full meal at other people's expense and a light one at their own expense. It depends also gether on who is paying for the feeding. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Germany turned out the Kaiser and his government and turned in the Socialists and their government and now all classes are wondering if they did not "swap the devil for the witch." ```markdown ``` It is hoped that ex-President Wood row Wilson will continue to improve and it is also desired that the Government that ex-President Wilson used to run will also continue to improve. The Japanese question continues to loom up as a menace to America's peace and happiness. $I_0$ is a blessing to those "jingoes," who want more money for a big navy. The war between Panama and Costa Rica has not as yet materialized. The letter of Secretary of State Hughes seems to have acted as "a wet blanket" upon both of the would be combatants. Religion may be making progress in this country, but it seems to suffer both drawback and a defeat in its combat with profanity on the part of those, who operate and repair automobiles. The Democratic Party has been engaged in the business of trying to find out how to run a Government of the people without permitting all of the people in the Government to assist in the running of it. "Method" is the name of a highly interesting publication with Mr. Frank Howard Hallion as Editor. The rates are $1.50 per year and the office is located in the Mechanics Bank building. --- The prohibitionist over-shot the mark in their blind hysteria to make this country "bone-dry" in a night Whisky dealers are rolling in wealth and "boot-leggera" are above want as a result of their efforts. --- Colored folks, as a rule believe in a good time. That part of the Bible that advises against laying up treasures in this world where moth and dust doth corrupt, has an especial attraction for them. A white concern may fail, and colored folks will not pay much attention to it. A colored concern may fail and they will tell everybody around about it. This is one of the results of slavery. It will disappear during the next two hundred and fifty years. --- France is "throwing many fits" in its effort to collect as much money on reparations as she rhinks she ought to have. It may cost her more money to collect this amount than the total amount will not her when it is paid over. President King of Liberia had a hard time securing a credit of five million dollars from this Government and now he is having a harder time securing the money upon which this credit is based. When we refer to him individually, we refer to his Government. Let us hope that his visit here may be crowned with success. --- "If a man die, shall he live again," was asked more than two thousand years ago and there are people here asking that question tday. Still there are thousands of people, who do not believe in any hereafter and who entertain the opinion that death ends it all once and forever. ```markdown ``` The Governments of the world are still in the business of trying to "make water run naturally up-hill" without getting rid of the Jaw of gravitation. The labor unions are still trying to maintain high salaries with the profits on the operation of the concern disappearing in the distance. The Virginia Baptist State Convention will meet next month in Washington, D.C., with Rev. Dr. T. J. King President in the chair. He and his associates are making a drive for not less than fifty thousand dollars to build another structure at the Virginia in Theological Seminary and College. President W. D. Woods has done a remarkable work at this institution and the work should be supported. --- The Government seems to have turned back the railroads of the country to private ownership, without turning back the railroads of the coun try to the management of private ownership. To say that outsiders shall specify just what salaries should be paid to employees and just how many men shall be employed without regard to the earning capacity of the railroads is to invite bankruptcy and to court disaster. --- The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has launched a campaign beginning April 24th and lasting until the 30th inclusive for the study of Negro Literature and History. The idea is highly commendable and we hope the movement will be blessed with success. Race pride is the foundation stone of racial success, but very few of even our college graduates seem to appreciate this fact. The reading of colored journals is almost exclusively confined to what is known as the common people. A small per centage of our professional men read and support colored publications. They deserve commendation for their foresight and commendable ability. We hope that this movement amongst the college men may be fraught with success. Many years ago, Dr. Daniel Barclay Williams of this State launched a similar campaign and published many pamphlets on this all important subject. Let the movement be enthusiastically supported. GEN. J. THOMPSON BROWN DEAD When Gen. J. Thompson Brown breathed his last, one of the best men, who ever lived in Virginia passed over to the other shore. He was a fit successor to Lord Chesterfield. Few men in this country have been able to emulate his example. We have been acquainted with him for more than a quarter of a century and during all of that time, he has been a man of transcendent ability, lovely disposition and an uncompromising advocate of what he believed to be right. He had a host of friends among the colored people and we were shocked to hear of his death. One by one, the best men of the country are passing away. We cannot understand it. God's ways are past finding out. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved family. He was jarred when he lost his wife. Now his "army of friends are grieved over the fact that he too is called to go. Peace to his ashes; rest for his soul. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. The situation in Europe at this time is that of an exhausted armed camp. No nation is prepared for war and no nation can wage one for any length of time. The occupation by France of the Rhine valley recently without blood-shed has led many people in that country to believe that this policy can be followed out even to the occupation of Berlin. On the other hand, there are others who realize and understand that the French Government is trifling with a powder magazine which may go off at any moment and involve the nations of Europe in one of the bloodiest conflicts of modern times. Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain undersends this, for he is now contending with an internal war in Ireland, which is worse than an open conflict. It involves men, women and children. But what is the cause of all of this? It is the logical result of the Treaty of Versailles. In that treaty, it was specifically understood and agreed that the German people would not pay any indemnity. They were not to pay the cost of the war. They were to restore the devastated regions of France and pay the amount necessary to reimburse the private owners. Government property was not included in this. This plan has never been satisfactory to France, the chief sufferer. She wanted to place the amount as high as she could and then force the German Government go pay in gold, the bill. The Germans set up the plea that their colonies had been taken from them, their merchant marine destroyed and her engines of war dismantled and rendered useless. She could not pay what was demanded unless she was given an opportunity to resume her trade and to take her place among the great nations of the world. In the meantime, the American people virtually repudiated the Treaty of Versailles for the reason that it was linked with the League of Nations created by President Woodrow Wilson, the representative of the people of the U. S. Great Britain, France Italy and Japan proceeded then to organize the League of Nations with the United States left out. Although the American Government had contributed its men, with their lives, together with billions of treasure, they organized without the United States and divided the spoils of war among themselves. One division that especially affected the United States was the Island of Yap, strategic point in the Pacific. Japan was given this Island by the Supreme Council of the League of Nations. This country declined to be bound by any such an arrangement The Star Hair Grower. THE WORLD'S FINEST HAIRDRESSER and a dead-lock now exists upon this question with Japan standing upon her rights. The only way that this country can set aside this order in council is by the action of the Supreme Council in revoking this mandate, by the relinquishing voluntarily on the part of Japan of the mandate or by an appeal to arms, that is the forcible ousting of the Japanese officials from the Island. This raises an interesting question. Germany made a master-stroke in appealing to this country in the matter of reparations demanded of her by the Allies. She agreed to submit the questions at issue to President Harding and be guided by any decision that he might announce. This would be blinding however only in the event that the other Great Nations would agree to this proposition and that President Harding would accept the task. It had a tendency though to make friends for Germany in this country and to make enemies for her on the other side. In the meantime France has openly announced that she will proceed to invade Germany, provided the money she demands and which is due May 1st, 1921 under the Treaty of Versailles is not forthcoming. Should France go too far, the present German Government will be overthrown and a Civil war is likely to result, in which an army of a million of troops from France would be powerless to either restore order or collect a cent of reparations. This is why the Allies are slow in agreeing with France in this matter and it is why they are halting apparently in the interest of the German nation. Should war break out again, what will be the attitude of the American nation? The following telegraphic report tells the story: Winchester, Va., April 27.—Many former donghous living in the mountains west of here are entitled to compensation by the government but they refuse to sign any papers, fearing it would some way tie them up with the army again. This information was brought here today by Miss M. K. Strickler, county Red Cross nurse and Miss Mary Malcolm local R. C. N., secretary on their from a week's trip through the mountains. They said a large number of former soldiers were visited, and were found to be entitled to allowances and compensation, and although every effort was made to convince them they were not wanted for military service, they would not hear to the idea of attaching their name to any paper alluding even to past military experience. This feeling is practically universal among all classes, rich and poor, white and colored. To force them in to the army again for service overseas would result in a practical revolution. It is evident then that the Administration must pursue a course along the paths of peace, if it wishes to retain the confidence of the people and the support of the army of men, who went overseas to save the world for democracy. President Wilson was elected upon the pla form that "he kept us out of war," and he was put out of office because, "he kept us out of peace." President Harding understands this and no doubt will profit by the blunders of his predecessor in office, Selah.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Year $ 2.00 First Months 1.19 Second Months 0.00 Foreign Subscriptions 3.50 SATURDAY.....APRIL 30, 1921 Death comes as a rule, when most expected. Teaching school as a rule ruins the disposition of the teacher. Raising children properly is an art and too few people have acquired this art. Young girls are numerous, but most young ones are getting mighty scarce. There may be a short route to Heaven, but no Christian that we have ever met has found it. Teach your children good manners, colored folks. It will enable them to get glong better in this world. President Warren G. Harding has started out right, even though he may make a failure. Most people, who die are better than most people, who continue to live in this world. Achieving results is what is wanted in this world, not simply making the effort. The Government seems to have been taking over everything. The last thing it took over was a big national debt. Colored folks are preparing to hold office under the present Republican administration. Save your money, colored folks. Buy a home. It may take a life-time to pay for it, but buy a home. It begins to look very much as though we are again drifting into an "entangling alliance with Europe." Colored people are getting to be very much like the American people they like to be humbugged. Rob the human family of hope and you take away from it the inenitive to toil and to live uprightly. The Negro-haters are quiet for a while. They will be active again though a few months from now. The United States of America has not its yet with-drawn the troops from the Republic of Haiti. Getting something for nothing is the task of the average toll-gate keeper in Virginia. Most people seem to think now that words were made to deceive and that fine dress was made for the same purpose. ```markdown ``` A person, who deceives you once will surely deceive you again, protestations to the contrary not withstanding. Some colored folks are so mean and insulting that other colored folks do not care to have any thing to do with them. The cry for good roads in Virginia is getting louder and louder and the bad roads in Virginia are getting "worse and worser." 2. Labor has been rolling in wealth and it seems to have expended the wealth in which it has been rolling in feasting and in riotous living. The capitalist who has been abusing his power and subjecting the laboring elements to unjust suffering has paid the penalty. Some folks are never satisfied. The only way they will know that they are in Heaven will be that, they find out that they are satisfied. Some people want to go to Africa and should be permitted to go there. When they get established, they should not want to come back to America. We have our sunshine and our shadows in this life. Some people prefer to walk in the shadows rather than in the sunshine. Going to church on Sunday and "raising the devil" the rest of the week will not carry you very far by the direction of the "Holy City." There are many officers of the Government, who seem to think that they are bosses of the people instead of the servants of the people. One class of bad colored folks make the white folks angry and another class of good colored folks come along and get the punishment. The Holy Bible is a wonderful book unequalled or evenly distantly ap proached by any religious work out side of the Mohammedan Koran. Yielding to temptation is a habit with some people and doing the risky thing at the right time a rarity with some others. You can get to Heaven, but you must follow the direction laid down in the Scriptures. In order to make the trip successfully. The labor question is still agitating governments. Fundamental principles have been cast aside and every theorist seems to have had his day Colored people, who are supporting race newspapers are doing a great service for the race. The colored press is now a power in this country. A man will make a greater sacrifice in order to publish a newspaper and to operate an automobile than anything else we know. One class of colored folks are clamoring for one thing and another class for something else. When will they get together in a common question? Deceit and deception, hypocrisy and falsehood seem to be the all controlling powers and influences in this country at the present time. --- The Government seems to be in the business of nagging and inconvenienceing most of those people who contribute most to its maintenance and sup port. Raking railroad rates has had a tendency to decrease travel and to multiply the number of automobile trucks and pleasure cars on the high ways. The colored folks of Pennsylvania are grieving over the defeat of the Equal Rights Bill, which had passed one branch of the Pennsylvania legis lature. Some people will eat a full meal at other people's expense and a light one at their own expense. It depends also together on who is paying for the feeding. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Germany turned out the Kelser and his government and turned in the Socialists and their government and now all classes are wondering if they did not "swap the devil for the witch." ```markdown ``` It is hoped that ex-President Woodrow Wilson will continue to improve, and it is also desired that the Government that ex-President Wilson used to run will also continue to improve. The Japanese question continues to loom up as a menace to America's peace and happiness. $I_0$ is a blessing to those "jingoes" who want more money for a big navy. The war between Panama and Costa Rica has not as yet materialized. The letter of Secretary of State Hughes seems to have acted as "a yet blanket" upon both of the would be combatants. Religion may be making progress in this country, but it seems to suffer both drawback and a defeat in its combat with profanity on the part of those, who operate and repair auto mobiles. The Democratic Party has been engaged in the business of trying to to find out how to run a Government of the people without permitting all of the people in the Government to assist in the running of it. 1. "Method" is the name of a highly interesting publication with Mr Frank Howard Hallion as Editor. The rates are $1.50 per year and the office is located in the Mechanics Bands building. The prohibitionist overshot the mark in their blind hysteria to make this country "bone-dry" in a night. Whiskey dealers are rolling in wealth and "boot-leggors" are above want as a result of their efforts. --- Colored folks, as a rule believe in a good time. That part of the Bible that advises against laying up treasures in this world where moth and dust doth corrup has an especial attraction for them. A white concern may fail, and colored folks will not pay much attention to it. A colored concern may fail and they will sell everybody around about it. This is one of the results of slavery. It will disappear during the next two hundred and fifty years. France is "throwing many fits" in its effort to collect as much money on reparations as she rhinks she ought to have. It may cost her more money to collect this amount than the total amount will not her when it is paid over. --- President King of Liberia had a hard time securing a credit of five million dollars from this Government and now he is having a harder time securing the money upon which this credit is based. When we refer to num individually, we refer to his Government. Let us hope that his visit here may be crowned with success. ```markdown ``` "If a man die, shall he live again," was asked more than two thousand years ago and there are people here asking that question tday. Still there are thousands of people, who do not believe in any hereafter and who entertain the opinion that death ends it all once and forever. --- The Governments of the world are still in the business of trying to "make water run naturally uphill" without getting rid of the Jaw of gravitation. The labor unions are still trying to maintain high salaries with the profits on the operation of the concern disappearing in the distance. The Virginia Baptist State Convention will meet next month in Washington, D. C., with Rev. Dr. T. J. King President in the chair. He and his associates are making a drive for not less than fifty thousand dollars to build another structure at the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. President W. D. Woods has done a remarkable work at this institution and the work should be supported. ```markdown ``` The Government seems to have turned back the railroads of the country to private ownership, without turning back the railroads of the com try to the management of private ownership. To say that outsiders shall specify just what salaries should be paid to employees and just how many men shall be employed without regard to the earning capacity of the railroads is to invite bankruptcy and to court disaster. --- The Omega Psi Tau Fraternity has launched a campaign beginning April 24th and lasting until the 30th inclusive for the study of Negro Literature and History. The idea is highly commendable and we hope the movement will be blessed with success. Race pride is the foundation stone of racial success, but very few of even our college graduates seem to appreciate this fact. The reading of colored journals is almost exclusively confined to what is known as the common people. A small percentage of our professional men read and support colored publications. They deserve commendation for their foresight and commendable ability. We hope that this movement amongst the college men may be fraught with success. Many years ago, Dr. Daniel Barchay Williams of this State launched a similar campaign and published many pamphlets on this all important subject. Let the movement be enthusiastically supported. GEN. J. THOMPSON BROWN DEAD When Gen. J. Thompson Brown breathed his last, one of the best men, who ever lived in Virginia passed over to the other shore. He was a fit successor to Lord Chesterfield. Few men in this country have been able to emulate his example. We have been acquainted with him for more than a quarter of a century and during all of that time, he has been a man of transcendent ability, lovely disposition and an uncompromising advocate of what he believed to be right. He had a host of friends among the colored people and we were shocked to hear of his death. One by one, the best men of the country are passing away. We cannot understand it. God's ways are past finding out. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved family. He was jarred when he lost his wife. Now his "army of friends are grieved over the fact that he too is called to go. Peace to his ashes; rest for his soul. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION The situation in Europe at this time is that of an exhausted armed camp. No nation is prepared for war and no nation can wage one for any length of time. The occupation by France of the Rhine valley recently without blood-shed has led many people in that country to believe that this policy can be followed out even to the occupation of Berlin. On the other hand, there are others who realize and understand that the French Government is trifling with a powder magazine which may go off at any moment and involve the nations of Europe in one of the bloodiest conflicts of modern times. Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain understands this, for he is now contending with an internal war in Ireland, which is worse than an open conflict. It involves mom, women and children. But what is the cause of all of this? It is the logical result of the Treaty of Versailles. In that treaty, it was specifically understood and agreed that the German people would not pay any indemnity. They were not to pay the cost of the war. They were to restore the devastated regions of France and pay the amount necessary to reimburse the private owners. Government property was not included in this. This plan has never been satisfactory to France, the chief sufferer. She wanted to place the amount as high as she could and then force the German Government go pay in gold, the bill.

Haven years have passed but her memory is still with us. Dearest Mother, you have left us. And will be with us no more. You have joined with other angels On that bright and golden shore. Now our home is dark and lonely. For we miss your smiling face; one there to ever watch us. No one there to fill your place. We cannot forget the mother. How you cheered us all day long; When the day was slowly dying, How you sang your evening song; When the sun was setting, When the shadows of our walk passed When the sands of ove was passed And through all of our troubles You stood by us till the last. When the silent night, was passing On the hills and mountains steep; When the earth its wavers was keeping You were never found asleep. And the hours passed like moments, Till the day was at its dawn. In the beauty of the morning, You were seen upon the lawn. No more shall your footsteps patter; No more shall we hear thy voice; No more shall we have thee with us; No more shall our hearts rejoice. Yet we keep a fond remembrance, Every day our thoughts are new, And regardless of what may happen. We will always think of you. Dearest Mother, don't forget us While the golden streets you roam, While in time of peace and pleasure, Think of your dear ones at home. Pray that we will soon be with you On that bright and golden shore; Where our sorrows will be over And we'll meet to part no more. —Husband and Children. J. P.

In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, Mrs. Matilda Cahess, who depursed this life April 28, 1917. She has gone. She has left us. We miss her presence in our homes and often in silent meditation we exclaim in the language of that familiar hymn. Why do we mourn departed friends, Or shake at deaths alarm. Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call us to His arms. Mother, we miss you so much. Home is not the same. From those who loved mother. Her daughters, Bertha Robinson, Sarah Robinson and Mrs. Bessie Mason. In loving remembrance of my dear wife and our mother, Mrs. Eddie Pitman, who passed away May 1, 1914. Hoven years have passed but her memory is still with us. Dearest Mother, you have left us. And will be with us no more. You have joined with other angels On that bright and golden shore. Now our home is dark and lonely. For we miss your smiling face; one there to ever watch us. No one there to fill your place. We cannot forget the mother. How you cheered us all day long; When the day was slowly dying. How you sang your evening song. When the twilight slowly gathered. When the twilight slowly gathered, When the shade of ove was passed And through all of our troubles You stood by us till the last. When the silent night was passing On the hills and mountains steep; When the earth its watch was keeping You were never found asleep. And the hours passed like moments, Till the day was at its dawn. In the beauty of the morning, You were seen upon the lawn. No more shall your footsteps patter; No more shall we hear thy voice; No more shall we have thee with us; No more shall our hearts rejoice. Yet we keep a fond remembrance, Every day our thoughts are new, And regardless of what may happen We will always think of you. Dearest Mother, don't forget us While the golden streets you roam While in time of peace and pleasure Think of your dear ones at home. Pray that we will soon be with you On that bright and golden shore; Where our sorrow will be over. On that bright and golden shore; Where our sorrows will be over And we'll meet to part no more. —Husband and Children. J. P. STRONG.

HUGHES, 016 Main Street Farmville, Virginia A REVELATION! (Continued From First Page) 2:20 A. M., train that morning on which Robinson was due, but 1 never heard it. THE MORNING ARRIVAL It was about 9 o'clock when he arrived, having missed the connection and having spent four hours in that miserable waiting room at Shenandoah Junction, just about 16 miles away from Berryville. A whip citizen of Berryville had owned a Stanley steam car of the same model and make as the one that I owned. He had some trouble with it and he traded it in. Some pee pleer sixty per cent trouble with a gas car to thirty per cent trouble with a steam one. It is entirely a matter of taste and choice. I had "paid for my learning" with both kinds of cars and I made myself satisfied. REPAIRS COMPLETED It was Monday morning. Robinson got to work at once and finished removing the old super-heater and then he installed the new one, being assisted by Mr. Williams and myself. By the way, Mr. Williams wanted to build a stable on his lot and he had about decided to cut down an apple tree (to give him more entrance room. He over-looked 'the fact that he was married and when he was ready to do the cutting, his wife was there ready to do the objecting and so the tree remains and he is considering all kinds of ways by which he can have that stable and not cut down that tree. AT WINCHESTER AGAIN The steam car was ready for travel by 2 P.M. It was not advisable to leave on that long journey at that hour with ladies in the cart. So I decided to leave by 6 o'clock the next morning. This would give Robinson, who had been up all night a enance to rest. I suggested that we would run over to Winchester to try out the car. We did so. Only one toll-gate in interfered with our travel and we paid the amount. We surprised Sir Henry Barrett and we went to his residence and made ourselves at home going afterwards to the residence of Mrs. Marceline Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Williams had accommodated us. TESTING THE STEAMER Then we left for Berryville. I said absolutely nothing about the speed limit. Robinson was only testing out the car. Robinson was only testing out the car. It came up to all require ments and I breathed a sigh of relief that there were no speed limit cops on that route. I was awake early and I called Robinson. It took the second call to arouse him to a sense of duty. In the meantime, I went out in the yard to look at the Stanley. I came back with the interesting information that we had only two flat tires. This was a job and a very serious one, too, when the time in making one change is considered and. It was necessary to have them all in first class condition before starting on this trip. A BETTE BROUTE Miss Blanche Williams, who attends Storer College was spending a few days at home and she had left the day before. It was $30 o'clock Tuesday before we finally started for home by way of Frederick, Md. We had enough of the other route and we proceeded to go over the longer, but better route. The weather was fine and there were no incidents. The mountain ranges flanked us on either side as we went north along the Shenandoah Valley. While climbing a mountain side, the road force was at work. We were flagged down with the in instructions that we could pass when the large truck backed out. With a pile of rock over which we had to climb directly in front of us, we were told to go ahead and we went over it. MOUNTAIN CLIMBING With a pile of rock over which we had to climb directly in front of us, we were told to go ahead and we went over it. After this, we were on good road again. While at Berryville, I had made enquiries concerning the best route to get back home. I thought of the storq told by Secretary of the War Baker to a delegation of Colored men, who had assembled there to meet him on invitation of Emmett J. Scott. When the colored troopers went to France, some of them experienced a rough voyage and were made deadly sea-sick. He asked the colored soldiers if they desired to ask any questions. A colored soldier who came from Georgia replied, "Mr. Secretary, I wish to ask just one question. Is there any way that I can get back to Savannah without crossing that ocean?" JOHN BROWN'S RAID I had a similar feeling. I wanted to know if there was my way I could get back to Richmond without crossing those mountains by way of Leesburg and those "ever-lasting toll gates" I had found a way and I was happy. It was not long before I was passing through Charlestown and then a short time afterwards was winding my way up to Harpers Ferry, the scene of John Brown's raid and capture. I saw a white lady sitting on her rear porch step and I enquired the way to Storrier College. I found that I was near the college and I went up there and for the first time in my life gazed upon this historic structure. THE OLD FORT. The President was in the town and we failed to meet him, Rev. Alfred Williams Anthony, D. D., is President of the Board. Then I found a guide, who proceeded to carry our party inside of the John Brown's Fort, which had been removed three times since it had been transplanted from the railroad station. It was inside - of this fort, which had been an engine house that John Brown, the hero and martyr had made his last stand for human rights and against human slavery. I stopped and gazer in mute wonderdment at this structure, which had formed an encop, so to speak in the history of this country. THREE STATES It overlooked a bend in the river from which point one could look into three States, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. I had previously copied from a tablet the following in scription: "That this nation might have a new birth of freedom. That slavery should be removed forever from American soil, John Brown and his 21 men gave their lives. To commemorate their heroism, this tablet is placed on this building, which has since been known as John Brown's Fort, by the Alumni of Storer College 1918." ON TO WASHINGTON Then we went around the grounds and out through she gate after bidding good-bye to Misses Maureta and Blanche Williams. Prof. Arter is one of the instructors here. The school has a mixed faculty of white and colored. Good order was a noticeable feature. We were in a hurry to get to Washington and in a few moments were passing over the railroad, past the site of John Brown's Fort and then across the long narrow bridge to the other side of the river, from which point we were soon on an upward climb towards Frederick, Maryland. The car was running all right now and we hoped to reach Richmond that night. We had chosen the longer and better route. OIL GIVES OUT Arriving at Frederick, we stopped for water and then on to Rockville. Here I found out that our oil can on the Stanley had run dry. There was nothing else to do but mix up a substitute, as the Stanley uses a special oil to be obtained only from the A. W. Harris Oil Company of Providence, Rhode Island. We were in Maryland and the supply which I had was, in Richmond. Arriving at Washington, we went to the Willard Service Station. In front was a crowd standing around a boy, who had a broken bicycle. I learned shortly afterwards that he had run head on into an auto mobile, making a dent in the car about the size of the impression of his head. GOING SOUTH AGAIN The surprising part of the business was that the boy did not seem to be injured save for a scratch and he was a white boy. "I never saw the car" said he, "until I struck it." Then we went to Mrs. Smith's residence and from that point at about 4 P. M. start ed South for Richmond. It was 4:40 when we left Alexandra after visiting friends there. Then on to Fredericklsburg. Arriving at Falmouth, just across the Rappahannock river from Fredericklsburg, we filled up with kerosene and water and then went to the other side of the river into that historic city. ANOTHER TOLL-GATE A toll-gate charge is assessed at this bridge now. It was dark. I thought the indies would be tired out and I suggested that they stop over until morning and go down early for Rickmond. I had visions of a break-down of tire punctures and blow-outs, of spending all night on the road and what in the world could I do under those circumstances with a car-load of women? While I was making arrangements with Mrs. Scott and had concluded the same, I was asked the question, if I wanted to stay over in Fredericksburg for the night. WANTED TO GO HOME. I did not. I was only anxious about their comfort and convenience. "Robin son says that he can get to Richmond by 12 o'clock and if you do not mind, we prefer to go home." I went in and cancelled the order. I was soon in the car and with the road as dark as mid night, save for the powerful spotlight and the intense head-lights, we were soon racing for Spottsylvania Court-house, the scene of Gen. Joseph Hooker's great fight about fifty years before. We stopped at the court-house for water and then on through the gloom again. THE END OF THE JOURNEY We were nearing Richmond. I need hardly say the speed of the car concerned me. Robinson was going home. We left Frederickburg at twenty minutes past eight o'clock. When it was 10:50 o'clock we were entering the Hermitage Road at Richmond and when it was 11 o'clock he was blowing the horn of the Stanley at his mother's house on Clay Street. A few moments later, I was in the land of dreams. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Newport News, Va., April 6, 1921.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS IS MANNED BY COMPETEST RACE LEADERS. The reason why that the National Race Congress of America commends itself to the thoughtful colored people of the United States is because it is manned from head to foot by competent colored officers. Secondly, because the Congress makes the strongest possible appeal to every colored man and woman who has a spark of race pride in them to assist in the development of their own people along the line of self government, and there by promote efficiency in practical leadership, as well as providing useful places of employment for their sons and daughters. The National Race Congress, like every great organization has had its knockouts and crittes from time to time. The officers of the Congress how ever, do not object to fair and honest criticism; on the other hand they rather invite it. An organization that cannot stand on the acid test and survive just criticism ought to die and be buried beyond the hope of resurrection. Every great organization known to the history of the world has had its critics, the church not accepted. Every great leader of the people from Moses of ancient Israel to the present day had to stand abuse and gross misrepresentation; even the Son of God could not escape it. But, like our Saviour, all true leaders will pray, "Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do." "Vengennice is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." No man or set of men that are right need not fear. No weapon that is formed against them can prosper and every assembled at the National Ruco Congress in the Dilictor of Columbia will tongue that shall rise up against them in judgement shall be condemned. The motto of the National Ruco Congress is, "Do right and fear not." If right is right, since God is right, then the day will win. To doubt would be disloyalty, to falter would be slain. The local committee of the National Race Congress is enthused now as never before in its history, at the bright outlook that is before the Congress. The largest crowd that has ever meet here on the 4th of May, Men and women from all walks of life, representing every state in the Union are expected here at the annual session of the Congress on the 4th of May next. The local committee held a most enthusiastic meeting at headquarters a few days ago, and among other things decided upon was, to instruct the judiciary committee of the congress to wait upon the Attorney General of the United States and file with the Department of Justice their protest against the peonage atrocities of Georgia and other Southern states and if he found it wise to do so to point colored men wherever advisable to help ferret out the perpetrators of these awful crimes. The legislative committee was instructed to wait up on the Interstate Commerce Commission and file the protest of the Congress against the violations of the Inter state passenger law by the rail roads of the Southern states. The Negro and industrial relations, the Negro and interracial relations and the Negro and citizenship will be among the subjects discussed by the Congress in May. President W. H. Jernigan and Executive Secretary H. J. Callis are greatly enthused over the outlook for a great meeting in May. All aboard for Washington. D. C. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS WILL MEET MAY 4. The National Race Congress, W. H. Jernagin, President, 1341 Third Street, N. W. will hold its next session in Zion Baptist Church, between Third and Four and a Half Streets, S. W., Washington, D. C. Rev. W. J. Howard, Pastor. The session will open May 4 1921 and continue through the seventh. The annual sermon will be preached Tuesday the third at 8:00 P. M. by Rev. C. D. Douglass the National Chaplain of Cambridge Mass. Among those who are expected to address the Congress are Vice-President Calvin Coolidge, Senator H. C. Lodge, Hon. Emmer J. Scott Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, N. J., Dr. J. H. Henderson, Knoxville, Tenn. and Phil Brown, Erg., representing the Labor organization. President Warren G. Harding will receive the delegates to the Congress at the White House Thursday, May fifth. At the last meeting of the local committee Dr. J. Milton Walron reported that his Church had elected six delegates and appropriated $30 for their registration in the Congress, Dr. W. J. Howard reported election of delegates by Rising Sun Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. Dr. Jerragin read letters from several prominent persons who assured the committee that they would be present at the meeting in $M_{2y}$. A communication was read from the officers of the Pan African Congress giving notice of the meeting of that Congress in Paris, France, in the early part of September 1921. WHITE MAN KILLS A COLORED MAN IN QUARREL OVER EGGS. Lynchburg, Va., April 27.—Haywood Fortune, white, early tonight shot and almost instantly killed John Hayes, colored, in a quarrel over a business matter. Hayes was shot three times, one shot in the head proving fatal. The row started over Hayes reporting that twenty-three men's eggs set for Fortune had only hatched eleven chickens. He gold Hayes it was a crooked deal and a quarrel ensued. Fortune claims Hayes throw a rock at him, where upon he opened fire on him.

J., April 12.—The Fitzgerald Hotel and Development Corporation, headed by B. G.
