We had recoiled a metal, just 11 miles from Phil delphia and Robinson decided to get certain the cause of the trouble. The rear wheel was jacked up and the oil delivery examined. I told him that in my opinion no oil had been going to the engine and the injury was there. We finally decided that there was nothing to do, but run the car on to Philadelphia and have the repairs made there. The loss of so much team made it necessary to till the water tank often and in this city, Ernest Billups had a long face. A STOP AT MEDIA, PA We stopped at the local mall at Media. Here the Stanley steam car was the source of much interest. Men gathered around this strange machine, this locomotive on automobile wheels. We had gone but a little further when we found additional trouble controllers the oil which spirted out over the front seat with every movement of the oil pump. It seemed that nothing would hold. We had tried fibre and even Dr. Jefferson's aluminium pin, but they all bent and let the oil through. Later, to our infinite surprise, we were informed at the factory, that a nickel could have been used for this purpose and we had many of these in our pocket. PHILADELPHIA AT LAST Finally, we visited in Philadelphia and passed the sturdy headquarters on. We left a rest. In the window was a Brand new 1922 car. We stopped and Robin or and I inspected this car we got the bright electric light. I drove by the residence of Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, 1631 Christian street where we met his attractive daughter, Miss Ottie. Company was there. Dr. Graham was at Church, it being Sun day night. We then went to Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Collier's residence. We had all of our outfit for camping, but decided to spend the night somewhere indoors in Philadelphia. We had visited the residence of Dr. and Mrs. R. D. Jones, but the caretaker, John, informed us that both were in Detroit, A DISABLED CAR It was finally at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Collier that we 'anded, going from there to get supper. When we returned, they had arranged for our party of four and fired, weary and sleepy, we sank in a comfortable bed to rest amidst pleasant dreams. As for me, I was worried. I had started ed north with the hope of going as far as boston, Massacreuse Js. Now, I was here in Philadelphia, with a dis abled car. I figured that I would put it in the Philadelphia factory for repairs and I would make my visits by train and get the car upon my return and then go home. TWO DAYS FOR REPAIRS I called up the Stanley Motor Carriage Co., factory the next morning, and told him my troubles, "You should have drilled an opening into the steam pipe, which had been stopped up." "The oil not going to the engine, you have scored your engine cylinders," was the statement of the foreman. Enquiry as to the length of time to make repairs brought the information that it would take about two days to complete the job, if the car was brought to the factory at once. I decided to leave that day for Atlantic City. In the meantime, Ernest had been relieved by Dr. E. R. Jefferson, in order that he might visit a fair damsel, who had been receiving letters from him during her residence in Philadelphia. A NEW STEAM CAR Robinson drove the car to the Stanley headquarters and the car was being examined when Mr. Blades, the Manager cordially greeted me and said, "Why don't you purchase a new car? We will take your car in exchange and you can pay the difference and continue your journey. We cannot allow you as much for it as we offered you last year, but we will make you a proposition. The prices on the Stanley car have been greatly reduced." He gave me a booklet and I went into the main room, sat down at a desk and scanned the improvements on the car. In the meantime, one of the ma- chists had taken Robinson in charge and was showing him the improvements on the 1922 car. STRIPPING THE OLD MACHINE I had considered the matter just about five minutes, when I asked Robbie on and after a short consultation told Mr. Blades that I would buy the car. He warned to tell me a new one out of the storage, but the new bone one in the window had attracted my attention and he soon had the working preparing it, for service, advising that Robinson remain there and get all the instructions from the skilled mechanic in charge. In the meantime I directed Robinson to strip the old car of all of the extras. So completely was this job done, that the Manager acquired it I proposed to leave the top on the car. I assured him that I would and that I would not remove the wheels. FREIGHT LEFT BEHIND There was a junch all around. It was after 2 P. M. Monday, when the mechanic took all of us including Dr. Jeter on for a drive in the new car to set it out. Before returning, he permitted Robinson to drive the car and as a final test, the foreman in charge of the factory took the party out, while I remain until the party returned. I settled for the car and returned to our stopping place, where, Robinson looked with all may at the truck-loud of tent, cots, cooking utensils, we had brought, on the other car. "Mr. Mitchel, we cannot carry all of this, it will scratch up the car." Then we decided just what we would carry. That which we could not carry would be shipped to Richmond by flight. There would be no camping out, so far as I could see and Robison after inspecting the purchase came to the conclusion that if the worst came to the worst, all hands could sleep in the new car. ON TO ATLANTIC CITY The next morning in the new car, after bidding Gen. Collier and his invalid Madame adieu, we went over to Camden and from that point took the road for Atlantic City. This trip was without incident. The roads were fairly good and the car made fast time to that console report. THE DUNBAR THEATER We spent Monday night in Philadelphia. We went to the Dunbar Theater where The Chocolate Girl was being dressed by colored players. The all-pervading scheme of the play was that of a cofeded young man, who had come North and had made a comfortable income. Despite the objections of his beautiful wife, he insisted upon bringing his old black mother to live with him. The character selected was humorous in the extreme and the embarrassing situations presented caused roars of laughter. No finder colored company has ever been upon the road in this country. It was a late hour when we left and a few moments later we were at our stopping place for the night. The car in which we were then had been from the factory only one week and he was cautioned not to run it at more than thirty-five miles per hour until the car had gone at least 500 miles. AT THE SEASHORE We had a difficult time locating Gen. A. F. Davidson. He is a farmer and a society man. We found him well. Then we went to Ridley's Hotel where we engaged (two rooms). Room rent in this esquide resort and city is $1.00 per day. We went down on the beach and for some time looked at the bathers. Modesty has no place at the sea shore and the lea's the rainment worn, the more comfortable is the individual. Right in the center of the seaside bath houses was a veritable army of colored people. We presume that they were excursionists. These people carry with them their own bathing suits. DR. JEFFERSON'S SISTER We went to find Dr. E. R. Jefferson's sister, Mrs. Mahala Morris and we learned that she would not be home until 7 P. M. Her daughter Rosella was there and so I decided to gratify Dr. Jefferson and remain over that night. We had expected to have left for New York that afternoon by way of Asbury Park and the seashore route. When we returned, the meeting between the doctor and his sister was long to be remembered. She threw aside all formality and there were two large individuals hugging each other in the street. She ran towards him as he came up. TO ASBURY PARK We arrange to take the party, in including Rocelia's husband out for (Continued on Fourth Page) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1921 APPEAL TO COLORED AMERICA.

A., and all other Colored Americans:— Ever since, the League apperring at the Judiciary Committee Hearings of both the U. S. Senate and U. S. House of Representatives, assisted in securing the favorable introduction into the House of the Dyer AntLynch Bill at the former section of Congress, the National Equal Rights League has been eveering pressure on Congressmen and Presidents to secure its passage. The League emphasized this as a demand of the Colored voters in the late national elections. It even went so far as to appeal to President Harding to avoid the chance that his message for an investigating commission might peopardize this positive remedial legislation. World now comes, chiefly through the Associated Negro Press Association, that this Dyer Bill may soon be reported favorably into the House. Hence the League appeals to every member, and to all Colored American citizens to write to their Congressmen and also to the Republican House Leader, Rep. Mondell, and the Speaker of the House, Rep. Gillette, urging the speeding up of a report from the from the Judiciary Committee on the Dyer Bill and its prompt passage. Do this at once. The League also urges all to be ready when it is reported out, to send a telegram to Congress, and urges every kind and sort of race organization to do so, and especially every church. The League advises that the Sunday following the favorable report of the Dyer Bill be made the Anti-Lynching Sunday and that there be a ten-minute prayer service for passage of the Bill, and a resolution sent by the pastor and church clerk. Write now, be ready to telegraph. Watch for the report and then let us have a universal Anti-Lynching Sun day. REV. M. A. N. SHAW, Pres. JAMES L. NEIL, Washington D. C. WM. MONROE TROTTER.

BUOIS' CALL TO EUROPE—HE IS AGAINST THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS—CLAMMS CHARTPBEGINS AT HOME—CAUSTIC COMMENT. Hotel Lyonaux, Geneva. Editor Michel; As it was in The Ungar I first saw an account of this misnamed Pan African Congress and since Richmond is one of the chief centres these heroes come to relate their great works and gather in the dollars, it is only right to let Richmond know how badly it has been exploited and may be again. I was appealed to, to state what I might know of the possibilities for good such congress might have. Now, as I have lived over here since 1879 and have continued to follow up African affairs the whole of the time, I unhesitatingly replied (that such congress would be a farce and only lay us open to reductive and contempt by our critics. REASONS OBVIOUS The reasons are obvious. The European Government's have carved out Africa, to suit themselves and hold in under Right-fisted Dragonian Rue, so that any attempt by outside influence or effort was bound to fail. To this simple truth Dr. Du Bois (I write the name French fashion) wrote what he called an answer; but he dodged the point at issue; evoked Pan Africa, and the reason for his summoning, as a Second Moses, people to journey at the way to Paris to hear his pain for delivering the African from the covetous grip of the white hand. He merely juggled with words, throwing dust and buffing. He gave the names of his dupes, used concerned with Clementean, House and a Bishop; mentioned Liberia and Abuja nua; Zanzibar and East Africa but gave no conclusive argument as to any practical' good to be done in all the range of possibilities. In fact, when driven to state his object in taking this long and expensive journey on funds charitably donated for home use and protection, he, like Davy Crockett's race on, the climbed right down'. He confessed his object was only to get acquainted and sit in conference with other colored men. He threw 'Pan-Africa' completely overboard, and said 'How far Negroes of the world can be of service to Africa' is a question.' IGNORANCE OF CONDITIONS It is upon this point, his ignorance of conditions ruling in Africa, that Bishop Smith has joined me in exposing this mad project of Dubois, doomed to end in smoke and bring contempt on Negro education. But let us look at what our Moses did in his first so-called 'P. A. C.' and for which he got a medal. Now, although a Chinese wall of difficulties and impossibilities shit in each African colony, could any man be so childish and absurd to confess he came nearly 4,000 miles of an expensive journey, with other men, to pass resolutions in Paris on land, labor, capital, government, education hygiene, culture and religion without having the slightest chance to give effect to a single resolution. The objects of those resolutions were all inside the Chinese wall of protection; while Moses Dufos of Africa, as well as President Garvey of Africa are both outside this wall and fear to enter it. In the May 'Crisis' England, France and other nations were invited to send 'spokes men' to speak before this coterie of American Negroes and their dupes. I unhesitatingly advised that these would be crusaders stay at home and tackle conditions in Tula, Georgia, Texas; he p at Washington and not come over here on money Bishop Smith objects was never intended for such use. FULL OF AGENCIES Europe is full of agencies for pro protecting native Africans. These agen ies do better work than Americans can do, for they have better knowledge. Bishop Smith rebukes DuBois for ignorance of African affairs. European Societies all over Europe are working: 1. The International Society found ed in Geneva in 1913 for the defense of native people. 2. The Swiss League for the Defense of Native Races, President, Rene Claparede. 3. The German-Swiss Society for Native Africans. 4. Anti Savery Society, London. 5. Aborigines Protection Society, London. 6. Congo Reform Association. 4 London. 7. The famous London Ethnological Society. 8. Equally fam its Anthropoogical Society, London. 9. French Congo Society, Paris. 10. Missionary Society: to numerous to mention; yet DuBois is leading a coterie of men here to discus 're igon, culture, hygiene', etc. charity begins at home. 11. Churches innumerable are watching over and discussing native Negro affairs. Carrying out to New castle is a tame epithet for this; it is sheer exploitation of the literate crenulous portions of our unfortunate race in the South. However, our able friend of the 'Crisis' means: wel and I agree with his aspirations. He seque me a copy of his itinerary in August, ending up with a call here on the League of Nations Palace. I cannot he p feel ing he is also in error in this; he can e individuals or private citizens do not come within the purview of their scheme. He opens in London, but shuts out the press we he might. ARCHIBALD JOHNSON. GEORGIA G. O. P. TO TAKE U ALIA WHITE TACTICS. Clarence B. Miller of Republican National Committee, Calls Conference in "Cracker" State. Plan to Use Same Program as Party Uses in Virginia to eliminate Professional Poli'cians, Both White and Colored. Washington, July 23.—With the full approval of the administration and the Republican National Committee, Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the committee, left Washington today for Atlanta, where the G. O. P. will put under way next Tuesday its program for a purification and revitalization of the party in the South. Following closely the Virginia State committee meeting, where the "Lily Whites" assumed complete control of the Old Dominion organization, the Republican National Committee has called a conference of 150 leading republicans of Georgia to reorganize the party in the State. This reorganization movement is to extend to all Southern States, where factionalism now exists, and is designed primarily to eliminate the professional Republican politician, white and colored, and particularly colored The Georgia meeting will not be a gathering of any faction or partly or organization now in existence. In fact the leaders of factions and officers have been expressly excluded from the conference, and the invited Republicans are drawn from the best business men of the State. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro National Committeeman from Georga's has not been invited to participate, nor will there be any representative of Johnson's faction as such. It is understood that not more than a half doz en Negroes, who are the actual leaders of those race in the State have been included in the National Committee's invitation list. The belief here is that Henry Lincoln John will resign from the nation's committee when he is confirmed as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia a position to which he was recently nominated by President Harding. However, Johnson is aware of the prestige membership on the national committee given him with his race and certain Republicans expect Johnson to try to Loll on to his committee place irrespective of the Federal appointment. There is no question, nevertheless, that the administration and the Republican National Committee are endearing in the South 'o establish what is now known as the "Virginia Idea" removing the impression that the G. O. P. is a "Negro party" and such radical steps as the Georgia conference of Republicans will be taken to reassure the Southern States. --- FRANCE EXECUTES ONE OF HEE COLORED SOLDIERS Mayence, July 19.—France executed one of her colored soldiers here to day before 4,000 French troops and the entire Sixth Third Regiment of Moroccan colonials, as well as a crowd of German officials and civilians and journalists. In exposition of the murder and robbery of a German workman. Perhaps General Schmidt, commanding the French corvism, was addressing the people of the United States, repealing to the German atrocity no reganda, when he sterned to the center of the scene after the firing squad had done its work. "Gentlemen" said the general, tersely "you have seen the justice of France." COLORED ATHLETE MAKES THE WORLD RECORD BROAD JUMP Cambridge, Macs, July 23. A new world's record for the amazing blood jump 25 feet, 3 inches, by E. O. Guardin, of Harvard, was developed today in the international track and field meeting when the Yale Harvard combination wore from the Oxford Cambridge team, eight events to two. In all six records fell during the afternoon, the five others being previous marks at these games, some of which had stood for almost a quarter century. In another event, the 120 yards high hardles the record for the games and for Harvard university was equaled. 1. The victory of the American collegians was one of supremacy in all four field events and of speed in unexpected sources to win four of the six running races. To the new records Harvard athletes contributed two, Yale two, and Oxford and Cambridge one each. Gardino, cofedor who has been the principal factor in the strength of the Harvard team for the last two years was the outstanding star. He flashed to the lore in the first event of the day, winning the 100 yard dash in which the British captain, R. G. D. Hudd, had entered in an unsuccessful effort to add to his teams potential strength. It was a hard race, with H. M. Abrahams, of Cambridge, so close at the finish that many thought he had won. WALKS LEISURELY AWAY Gourdin walked leisurely from the sprinting lane to the jumping pit. Without trial jump, running with easy stride, he sped down the cinder approach, made the takeoff cleanly, and with a many lunge ahead fell on the far edge of the 'o'pm pit. Satisfied with his effort before it was measured, he grinned. After the tape was applied and announcement of the goal made he accepted encouragement with the same broad smile. Gourdin's leap of 25 feet 3 inches was farther than any jump ever credited to man. The best record of which there has been note was that of 24 feet 11 34 inches, made 22 years ago at Dublin, Ireland, by Peter O'Connor. Gourdin made three subsequent jumps, but he fouled two and old 20 feet in the third. That his record jump was qualified for official acceptance in all details was subscribed to by Gustavus T. Kirby, president of the Intercolegiate A. A. A. A. and referee of the games. "I have personally seen and measured this jump, and the takeoff and break in ground were inspected by me," he wrote in formal verification of the scorekeeper's report. Gourdin was the only double winner but in Capt. Rudd, of the British team, and C. D. Krogness, of Harvard, the large crowd found other athletes of high ability and manifold activity. Rudd failed in his second attempt to win three events, but he made a new record of 49 seconds for the 440 yard run and lost the half mile run to the e'ongated Tommy Campbell of Yale only after a fight that furnished the best race of the day. --- SEIZED AS SPEEDER; STEPS ON GAS; FLEES WITH $2 000 IN LIQUOR. Colored Driver Eludes Pursurers, but is Finally Caught Minus the Booze. Winchester, Va., July 19.—An automobile carrying 100 gallons of liquor, worth approximately $2,000, bound from Staunton, Va., to Hagerstown, Md., was in custody of local police to day but at an opportune moment the driver, George Robinson, colored, Hagerstown, shot the "gas," and by a circuitous route eluded his pursuers, who fired as he sped away. He was however, caught at the West Virginia line, brought back and fined $60 for exceeding the speed limit and resulting arrest. Meanwhile, authorities believe, Robinson and alleged confederates changed automobiles and officers lost all track of the limo. --- WILL PUNISH MEN WHO TARRED AND FEATHERED WOMAN. Shreveport, La., July 18.—An announcement that the authorities would attempt to prosecute the masked men who stripped, hobbled her hair and tarred and feathered Mrs. Beulan Johnson at Tenahua, Texas, Saturday night; was made today by County Attorney Lewis Johnson. The latter had her released from jail at Center where she was committed after the tarring. She had been at liberty on bond under a charge of bigamy and Attorney Johnson held the bond sttIJ valid. MILLER—In sad, but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Lucy c. Miller, who died one year ago June 25, 1920: Two years ago today Our darling mother passed away. In Jesus' arms she toll sleep. And let her loved ones here to weep There is grief that cannot find comfort. There are wounds that cannot be healed. And sorrow buried in our hearts Too deep to be revealed.

OCTAVIA HARNIS Mrs. Francis Petham died July 19, 1921, at the residence of her husband, Solomon Petham, 510 1/2 N., Third B. Her funeral, which was largely attended, was conducted from the Second Baptist Church, Thursday, July 21, at two P. M., Rev. Z. D. Lewis officiating. The solo by Mr. W. B. Stuart was very impressive.

The entire city of "Old Manchester" was shocked on last Saturday morning about seven o'clock, when the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. John Eaton, of 200 W. 21st Street was hurled throughout the town. Mr. Eaton was well-known and respected by both young and old, white and colored people of this community. His funeral took place last Tuesday afternoon from the Second Baptist Church at three o'clock. Rev. D. Lawrence C. Garland officiated. The remains were interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, the colored section of Murray's. "Peace to his ashes, rest for his soul." The family has the sympathy of the entire community. JACK JOHNSON RECEIVES MANY OFFERTS TO BOX AGAIN Chicago, July 14—"Gec, it feels good to be back home." These were Jack Johnson's first words on arriving here from Leavenworth, where he sojourned for ten months. The former heavyweight champion of the world shook hands with every body within armshot at the depot, posed for the movies and then took a taxi for the home of his sister, Mec Gus Rhodes, where he sank his golden teet in a home cooked chicken. Johnson said "certainly," he was going to fight again. "I've got half a dozen offers right now," he declared. Johnson said he would select a manager in a few days. He laughed at the suggestion that he is too old to fight. He is 43. He looked in per feet health, although there are fatal signs of age around his eyes. TAR AND FEATHER A FLORIDA MINISTER. Miami, Fla., July 17—Eight masked men waylayed Rev. Phillips Irwin white archdeacon of the English Episcopal Church and head of the work of the church among South Florida colored people at the couse of His evening services and tarred and feathered him. He was then placed in a sack and taken in an automobile in a sack and taken in an automobile to the business section of this city and dropped from the car. Certain doctrines delivered by Archcon Irwin are said to have been the cause of the attack. His assailants have not been apprehended. --- HE IS HERE! HEAR HIM! Rev. W. H. Skipwith. B. D.

REV. R. O. JOHNSON VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 38 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS TROUBLE WITH THE STEAM CAR PHILADELPHIA THE HAVEN LACK OF OIL SCORES THE ENGINE CYLINDERS (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) Finally, the pistons were examined and the nuts tautened, but the air refilled no relief. We had reached Meda, Jur. 14 miles from Philadelphia and Robinson decided to ascertain the cause of the treadle. The year was jacked up and the oil delivery was amplified. I told him that in my opio- tion, oil had been going to the engine and the injury was there. We finally decided that there was nothing to do, but run the car on to Philadelphia and have the repairs made there. The loss of so much steam made it necessary to fill the water-tank offer and in this city, Ernest Billups had a long face. A STOP AT MEDIA, PA. We stopped at the local garage at Media. Here the Stanley steam car was the source of much interest. Men gath ered around this strange machine, this locomotive on automobile wheels. We had gone but a little further when we found additional trouble controlling the oil which spurted out over the front seat with every movement of the oil pump. It seemed that nothing would hold. We had tried fibre and even Dr. Jefferson's aluminum plug, but they all heat and let the oil through. Later, to our infinite surprise, we were informed at the factory, that a nickel could have been used for this purpose and we had many of these in our pocket. PHILADELPHIA AT LAST Finally, we arrived in Philadelphia and passed the Stanley headquarters on Walnut street. In the window was a brand new 1922 car. We stopped and Robinson and I inspected this car and under the bright Cercle light, I drove by the residence of Rev. Dr. W. P. Graham, 1631 Christian street where we met his attractive daughter, Miss Otte. Company was there, Rev. Dr. Graham was at Church, it being Sun day night. We met him at the G. Collier's residence. We had all of our outfit for camping, but decided to spend the night somewhere indoors in Philadelphia. We had visited the residence of Dr. and Mrs. R. D. Jones, but the caretaker, John informed us that both were in Detroit. A DISABLED CAR It was finally at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Collier that we landed, going from there to get supper. When we returned, they had arranged for our party of four and fired, weary and sleepy, we sank in a comfortable bed to rest amidst pleasant dreams. As for me, I was worried. I had start ed north with the hope of going as far as beaston, Massachusetts's. Now, I was here in Philadelphia, with a disabled car. I figured that I would put it in the Philadelphia factory for repairs and I would make my visits by train and get the car upon my return and then go home. TWO DAYS FOR REPAIRS I called up the Stanley Motor Carriage Co., factory the next morning and told him my troubles, "You should have drilled an opening into the steam pipe, which had been stopped up." "The oil not going to the engine, you have scored your engine cylinders," was the statement of the foreman. Enquiry as to the length of time to make repairs brought the information that it would take about two days to complete the job, if the car was brought to the factory at once. I decided to leave that day for Aquatic City. In the meantime, Ernest had been relieved by Dr. E. R. Jefferson, in order that he might visit a fair damsel, who had been receiving letters from him during her residence in Philadelphia. A NEW STEAM CAR Robinson drove the car to the Stanley headquarters and the car was being examined when Mr. Blades, the Manager cordially greeted me and said, "Why don't you purchase a new car? We will take your car in exchange and you can pay the difference and continue your journey. We cannot allow you as much for it as we offered you last year, but we will make you a proposition. The prices on the Stanley car have been greatly reduced." He gave me a booklet and I went into the main room, sat down at a desk and scanned the improvements on the car. In the meantime, one of the machinists had taken Robinson in charge and was showing him the improvements on the 1922 car. STRIPPING THE OLD MACHINE I had considered the matter just about five minutes, when I called Robinson and after a short consultation told Mr. Blades that I would buy the car. He wanted to tell me a new one out of the storage, but the new blue one in the window had attracted my attention and he soon had the workman preparing K, for servet, as advising that Robinson remain there and get all the instructions from the skilled mechanic in charge. In the meantime I directed Robinson to step out of all of the extras. So completely wary of the extras, that the Manager enquired if I possessed leave the top on the car. I insured him that I would and that I would not remove the wheels. FREIGHT LEFT BEHIND There was a knuck all around. It was after 2 P. M. Monday, when the mechanic took all of us including Dr. Jefferson for a drive in the new car to sit it out. Before returning, he permitted Robinson to drive the car and as a final test, the foreman in charge of the factory took the party out, while I remain until the party returned. I settled for the car and returned to our stopping place, where, Robinson looked with dismay at the truck-load of tent, cats, cooking utensils, we had brought, on the other car. "Mr. Mitchell', we cannot carry all of this, we need to scratch up the car." Then we decided just what we would carry. That meant we would not carry would be shipped to Robinson by freight. There would be no camping out, so far as I could see and Robinson after inspecting the purchase came to the conclusion that if the worst came to the worst, all hands could sleep in the new car. ON TO ATLANTIC CITY The next morning in the new car, after bidding Gen. Collier and his invalid Madame adien, we went over to Camden and from that point took the road for Atlantic City. This trip was without incident. The rounds were fairly good and the car made fast time to that seaside resort. THE DUNBAR THEATER We spent Monday night in Philadelphia. We went to the Dunbar Theater where the Chocolate Girl was being staged by colored players. The all-pervading scheme of the play was that of a cofedored young man, who had come North and had made a comfortable income. Despite the objections of his beautiful wife, he insisted upon bringing his old black mother to live with him. The character selected was humorous in the extreme and the one barrassing situations presented caused roars of f laughter. Noinder colored company has ever been upon the road in this country. It was a late hour when we left and a few moments later we sat at our stopping place for the night. The car in which we were then had been from the factory only one week and he was cautioned not to run it at more than thirty-five miles per hour until the car had gone at least 500 miles. AT THE SEASHORE We had a difficult time locating Gen. A. P. Davidson. He is a farmer and a society man. We found him well. Then we went to Ridley's Hotel where we engaged two rooms. Room rent in this seaside resort and city is $4.00 per day. We went down on the beach and for some time looked at the brothers. Modesty has no place at the sea-shore and the less the estimate worn, the more comfortable the flight in the center of the seaside hotel built veritable army of colored people. We presume that they were excursionists. These people carry with them their own bathing suits. DR. JEFFERSON'S SISTER We went to find Dr. E. R. Josephson's sister, Mrs. Mahala Morris and we learned that she would not be home until 7 P. M. Her daughter Roselia was there and so I decided to gratify Dr. Jefferson and remain over that night. We had expected to have left for New York that afternoon by way of Ashbury Park and the seashore route. When we returned, the meeting between the doctor and his sister was long to be remembered. She threw aside all formality and there were two large individuals hugging each other in the street. She run towards him as he came up.

To Comrades of the National Equal Rights League of the U. S. A., and at other Colored Americans:—Ever since the League, appearing at the Judiciary Committee Hearings of both the U. S. Senate and U. S. House of Representatives, assisted in securing the favorable introduction into the House of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill at the former session of Congress, the National Equal Rights League has been exerting pressure upon Congressmen and Presidents to secure its passage. The League can emphasized this as a demand of the Congress, and it has been so far as to appeal to President Harding to avoid the chance that his message for an invigating commission might peepardize this positive legislative legislation. World now comes, chiefly through the Associated Negro Press Association, that this Dyer Bill may soon be reported favorably info on the House. Hence the League appeals to every member, and to all Colored American citizens to write to their Congressmen and also to the Republican House Leader, Rep. Mondell, and the Speaker of the House, Rep. Gillette, urging the speeding up of a report from the from the Judiciary Committee on the Dyer Bill and its prompt passage. Do this at once. The League also urges all to be ready when it is reported out, to send a telegram to Congress, and 1 urges every kind and sort of race organization to do so, and especially every church. The League advises that the Sunday following the favorable report of the Dyer Bill be made the AntiLynch lpg Sunday and that there be a ten-minute prayer service for passage of the Bill, and a resolution sent by the pastor and church clerk. Write now, be ready to telegraph. Watch for the report and then let us have a universal Anti-Lynching Sun day. Dear Editor—As an organized body of the Colored race itself, and representing what our Colored press represents, sponsorship and agitation conducted by the race for the race, the National Equal Rights League appeals to you, Mr. Editor, to publish the above appeal and to also publish this. The National Equal Rights League urges that everybody at once write to their Congressman, also to Republican leader Mondell, and to the speak Rep. Gillette, to secure early favorable report on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill from the Judiciary Committee and its passage. The League urges thatEqual Rights Insurance Committees, to hercater affiliate with the League, be formed to hold a local mass meeting for a federal anti-lynching bill. The League also urges that as soon as the Dyer Bill is reported, all our churches observe the following Sunday (as Anti-Lynching Sunday, with a focus on race and a request be sent by the church to local congress men to enact the bill. --- Miss Helen L.

DU BOS' CALL TO EUROPE—HE IS AGAINST THE PAN-AFRICALE CONGRESS—CLAIMS CHART BEGINS AT HOME—CAUSTIC COMMENT. Hotel Lypomads, Geneva. Editor Michelle? As it was in the Planet I first saw an account of this misnamed Pan-African Congress and since Richmond is one of the chief centres these heroes come to relate their great works and gather in the dollars, it's only right to let Richmond know how badly it has been exploited and may be again. I was appealed to, to state what I might know of the possibilities for good such congress over here. Now as I have lived over here since 1879 and have continued to follow up African affairs the whole of the time, I unhesitatingly replied that such congress would be a force and only lay us open to radicals and contempt by our critics. REASONS OBVIOUS. The reasons are oblivious. The European Governments have carved out Africa, to suit themselves and hold it under Right-faced Dragonian Rule, so that any attempt by outside influence or effort was bound to fall. To this simple truth Dr. Du Bois (I write the name French Fashion) wrote what he called an answer; but he dodged the point at issue; owed Pan-African and the reason for his summoning, as a Second Moses, people to journey all the way to Paris to hear his plan for delivering the African from the covenets grip of the white hand. He merely juggled with words, throwing dug and baffling. He gave the names of his dunes, used 'conferred' with Clementeon, House and a Bishop; mentioned Liberia and Abyssinia, Zanzibar and East Africa, but gave no conclusive argument' as to any practical' good to he done in all the range of possibilities. In fact, when driven to state his object in taking it's long and expensive journey on funds charitably donated for home use and protection, he, like a raconteur, the climbed right down.' He knew his object was only 'to get acquainted and in conference with other colored men. He threw 'Pan-Africa' competently overboard, and said How far Negroes of the world can be of service to Africa' is a question.' IGNORANCE OF CONDITIONS It is upon this point, his ignorance of conditions ruling in Africa, that Bishop Smith has joined me in exposing this mad project of Dudbals, doomed to end in smoke and bring contempt on Negro education. But let us look at what our Moses did in his first so-called 'P. A. C.' and for which he got a medal. Now, although a Chinese wall of difficulties and impossibilities shhit in each African colony, could any man he so childish and absurd as to confess he came nearly 4,000 miles of an expensive journey, with other men, to pass resolutions in Paris on 'hand, labor, capital, government, education hygiene, culture and religion' without having the slightest chance to give effect to a single resolution. The objects of those resoultions were all inside the Chinese wall of protection; while Moses DuBois of Africa, as well as President Garvey of Africa are both outside this wall and fear to enter it. In the May 'Crisis' England, France and other nations were invited to send 'spokes men' to speak before this coterie of American Negroes and their dupes. I mutually advised that these would-be captives stay at home and tackle conditions. Paul, Georgia, Texas; heap at Washington, but not come over here on 'money' shop Smith objects was never intended for such use. FULL OF AGENCIES Europe is full of agencies for protecting native Africans. These agencies do better work than Americans can do, for they have better knowledge. Bishop Smith rebukes DuBois for ignorance of African affairs. European Societies all over Europe are working: 1. The International Society found in Geneva in 1913 for the defense of native people. 2. The Swiss League for the Defense of Native Races, President, Rone Claparoide. 3. The German-Swiss Society for Native Africans. 4. Anti Slavey Society, London. 5. Aborigines Protection Society, London. 6. Congo Reform Association. London, 7. The famous London Ethnologi cal Society, 8. Equally famous Anthropologi cal Society, London. 9. French Congo Society, Paris. 10. Missionary Societies too num crous to mention; yet DuBois is leading a coterie of men here to dis cus "reigion, culture, hygiene," etc.—charity begins at home. 11. Churches innumerable are watching over and discussing native Negro affairs. Carrying up to New castle is a tame epithet for this; it is sheer exploitation of the literate creculous portions of our unfortunate race in the South. However, our able friend of the 'Crisis' means well and I agree with his aspirations. He sent me a copy of his fury in August, ending up with a call here on the League of Nations Palace. I cannot he p'e feeling he is also in error in this: because individuals or private citizens do not come within the purview of their scheme. He opens in London, but shuts out the press—well he might. ARCHIBALD JOHNSON. GEORGIA G. O. P. TO TAKE U ALL WHITE TACTICS. Clarence B. Miller of Republican National Committee, Calls Conference in "Cracker" State. Plan to Use Same Program as Party Uses in Virginia to eliminate Professional Politicians, Both White and Colored. Washington, July 23—With the full approval of the administration and the Republican National Committee, Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the committee, left Washington today for Atlanta where the G. O. P. will put under way next Tuesday its program for a purification and revitalization of the party in the South. Following closely the Virginia State committee meeting, where the "Lily Whites" assumed complete control of the Old Dominion organization, the Republican National Committee has called a conference of 150 leading Republicans of Georgia to reorganize the party in the State. This reorganization movement is to extend to all Southern States, where factionalism now exists, and is designed primarily to eliminate the professional Republican politician, white and colored, and particularly colored The Georgia meeting will not be a gathering of any faction or partly or organization now in existence. In fact the leaders of factions and office seekers have been expressly excluded from the conference, and the invited Republicans are drawn from the best business men of the State. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro National Committeeman from Georgia has not been invited to participate, nor will there be any representative of Johnson's faction as such. It is ununderstood that not more than a half doz on Negroes, who are the actual leaders of those race in the State have been included in the National Committee's invitation list. The belief here is that Henry Lincoln John will resign from the national committee when he is confirmed as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia a position to which he was recently nominated by President Harding. However, Johnson is aware of the prestige membership on the national committee given him with his race and certain Republicans expect Johnson to try to Lodge on to his committee place irrespective of the Federal appointment, that is no question, nevertheless, that the Republican National Committee are endeavoring in the south to establish what is now known the "origina Idea" removing the impression that the G. O. P. is a "Negro party" and such radical steps as the Georgia monference of Republicans will be taken to reassure the Southern States. FRANCE EXECUTES ONE OF HIS COLORED SOLDIERS Mayence, July 19.—France executed one of her colored soldiers here to day before 4,000 French troops and the entire Sixty-third Regiment of Moroccan colonials, as well as a crowd of German officials and civilians and journalists. In expulsion of the murder and robbery of a German workman. Perhaps General Schmidt, commanding the French garrison, was addressed since the people of the United States, the German stricty pro-paganda, who were seized to the center of the scene after the firing squad had done its work. "Gentlemen," said the general, tax-solly "you have seen the justice of France." COLORED ATHLETE MAKES THE WORLD RECORD BROAD JUMP Cambridge, Maas, July 23. A new world's record for the running broad jump—25 feet, 3 inches, by i. O. Guardin, of Harvard—was developed today in the international track and field meeting when the Yale Harvard combination won from the Oxford-Cambridge team, eight even's to two. In all six records fell during the afternoon, the five others being previous marks at these games, some of which had stood for almost a quarter century. In another event, the 120 yards hard hurdles the record for the games and for Harvard university was held. B. The history of Ohio American collegians was one of supremacy in all four field even's and of speed in unexpected sources to win four of the six running races. To the new records Harvard athletes contributed two, Yale (two, and Oxford and Cambridge one each. Gourdine, colored who has been the principal factor in the strength of the Harvard team for the last two years, was the outstanding star. He flashed to the fore in the first event of the day, winning the 100 yard dash in which the British captain, B. G. D. Bald, had entered in an unsuccessful strength. It was a hard race, with H. M. Abrahams, of Cambridge, so close at the finish that many thought he had won. WALKS LEISURELY AWAY. Gourdin walked leisurely from the sprinting lane to the jumping pit. Without trial jump, running with easy stride, he stepped down the dender approach, made the takeoff cleanly, and with a many lunge ahead fell on the far edge of the lean pit. Satisfied with his effort before it was measured, he grinned. After the tape was an pilé and announcement of the record made he accepted encouragement with the same broad smile. Gourdin's leap of 25 feet 3 inches was shorter than any jump ever credited to him. He recorded of which there has been note made: feet 11 3-4 inches, made 22 years ago at Dublin, Ireland, by Peter O'Connor. Gourdin made three subsequent jumps, but he bounced in two and old 20 feet in the third. That his record jump was qualified for official acceptance in all details was subscribed to by Gustavus T. Kirby, president of the Intercultural Institute A. A. A. A. and referee of the games. "I have personally seen and measured this jump, and the takeoff and break in ground were inspected by me," he wrote in formal verification of the scorekeeper's report. Gourdin was the only double winner but in Capt. Rudd, of the British team, and C. D. Krogness, of Harvard, the large crowd found other athletes of high ability and manifold activity. Rudd failed in his second attempt to win three events, but he made a new record of 49 seconds for the 440 yard run and lost the half mile run to the conglated Tommy Campbell of Nale, only after a fight that furnished the best race of the day. SEIZED AS SPEEHER; STEPS ON GAS; FLEES WITH $2,000 IN LIQUOR. Colored Driver Eludes Pursurers, is Finally Conquert Minus the Snow Winchester, Va., July 19—An automobile carrying 100 gallons of liquor, worth approximately $2,000, bound from Staunton, Va., to Hagerstown, Md., was in custody of local police to day but at an opportune moment the driver, George Robinson, colored, Hagerstown, shot the "gas," and by a circuitous route cluded his pursuers, who fired as he sped away. He was however, caught at the West Virginia line, brought back and fined $60 for exceeding the speed limit and resisting arrest. Menwhile, authorities believe, Robinson and alleged confederates changed automobiles and officers lost all track of the liquor. WILL PUNISH MEN WHO TARHEED AND FEATHERED WOMAN. Shreveport, La., July 18—Announcement that the authorities would attempt to prosecute the masked men who stripped, bobbed her hair and tarred and feathered Mrs. Beulah Johnson 'at Tenaha, Texas, Saturday night, was made today by County Attorney Lewis Johnson. The latter had her released from jail at Center where she was committed after the tarring. She had been at liberty on bond under a charge of bigamy and Attorney Johnson held the bond still valid. PRICE. FIVE CENTS MILLER—in sad, but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Lucy C. Miller, who died one year ago July 23, 1920: Two years ago today Our darling mother passed away. In Jesus' arms she fell asleep. And left her loved ones here to weep There is grief that cannot; find comfort: There are wounds that cannot be healed, And sorrow buried in our hearts Too deep to be revealed. Jesus, dear Lord, while our hearts yet are bleeding. Over the sorrows that death has won, Oh help us at the silent moment, To calmly say, Thy will be done. Her children, MRS. NANNIE JONES, MRS. OCTAVIA HARRIS Mrs. Francis Pelham died July 19, 1921, at the residence of her husband, Solomon Pelham, 510 1-2 N. Third St. Her funeral, which was largely attended, was conducted from the Second Baptist Church, Thursday, July 21, at two P. M., Rev. Z. D. Lewis officiating. The solo by Mr. W. B. Smith was very impressive, W. I. Johnson Sons had charge of the funeral. We take this method to extend to our neighbors friends, Hannah Counch, I. O. of St. Luke, and Ivy Leaf Court, O. of C., our heartfelt thanks for their kindness shown our wife and mother, Mrs. Frances Pelham, during her illness and for the expressions of sympathy, beautiful floral designs and tablet, sent on occasion of her death. May God's richest blessing rest upon each and every one of you. SOLOMON PELHAM, Husband JAMES H. ANDERSON, Sons The entire city of "Old Manchester" was shocked on last Saturday morning about seven o'clock, when the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. John Eaton, of 200 W. 21st Street was hurled throughout the town. Mr. Eaton was well-known and respected by both young and old, white and colored people of this community. His funeral took place last Tuesday afternoon from the Second Baptist Church in three o'clock. Rev. Dr. Lawrence C. and C. officiated. The remains were interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, the colored section of Maury's. "Peace to his ashes, rest for his soul." The family has the sympathy of the entire community. JACK JOHNSON RECEIVES MANY OFFERST TO BOX AGAIN Chicago, July 14—"Gee, it feels good to be back home." These were Jack Johnson's first words on arriving here from Leavenworth, where he sojourned for ten months. The former heavyweight champion of the world shook hands with every body within armshot at the depot, based for the movies and then took a trip for the home of his sister, Mrs. Gus Rhodes, where he sank his golden chicken. Johnson said certainly, "he was going to fight again. "I've got half a dozen offers right now," he declared. Johnson said he would select a manager in a few days. He laughed at the suggestion that he is too old to fight. He is 43. He looked in perfect health, although there are faint signs of age around his eyes. TAR AND FEATHER A FLORIDA MINISTER. Miami, Fla., July 17.—Eight masked men waylayed Rev. Church Irwin white archedeacon of the English Episcopal Church and head of the work of the church among South Florida colored people at the cause of his evening services and tarred and feathered him. He was then placed in a sack and taken in an automobile in a sack and taken in an automobile to the business section of this city and dropped from the car. Certain doctrines delivered by Archcon Irwin are said to have been the cause of the attack. His saxaphants have not been apprehended. HE IS HERE! HEAR HIM! Rev. W. H. Skipwith, B.

Humbuggery in high places has 155 to humbuggery in low places. Teach your children politeness. It will richly repay them in the long run. The Irish are very much like the Negroes. They are constantly fighting among themselves. The colored folks in this State are "mad clean through" and they do not care who knows it. Popular government is no longer recognized in Georgia. It is now being doled out from Washington. Some people like to get up early and some other folks like to get up late. It is all in the raising. When you take away from a citizen his right to vote, you take away from him the right to hold office. Some people are so changeable that their mouths look like a cat-fish mouta and their actions like a cork-screw. Thousands of people in this country now go to jail for pay and serve their time there for the same reason. People are afraid to distill water now on account of the fact that they may be charged with making whisky. Some people are never so happy as when they think that they are cheating somebody out of what rightfully belongs to them. It should be plainly evident to even a blind man, that a race, which is not willing to content for its rights is not worthy of having them. You can reach Heaven by many routes up to the main entrance, but when you get that far, there is but one route. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil and proof of this is being furnished in the happenings of today. Crying will not better conditions, for the reason that this attitude awakens contempt in most people and ridicule in the others. Some people work hard one hour and lounge about the other two hours and then wonder why they do not get anywhere and why their services are not in demand. There are two objects of abuse and ridiculo in this country at the present time. One is whiskey and the other is the Negro. Both maintain an active existence. --- The better class of colored people, do not wish to mingle and associate with the dissolute, boorish, insulting class of colored people any more than the white folks do. When a southern white man is a friend to a colored person, he is a friend in deed and when he is an enemy to the same class of people, he is a terror to mankind. The Liberian Commission is still waiting for that five million dollar loan, that this Government promised to them. The Commission should have had it long ago in order that it may go home. Some women insist upon occupying places held by the men and a few men insist upon holding the positions held by some women. Both are deceiving themselves. Both sexes have their rightful places in this world. --- When colored voters get together themselves and agree to act together for their own good and betterment, a changed condition in their favor in this country will be noticeable. A party that denies to a citizen the right to participate in its political deliberations, logically denies to this same citizen the right to have any share in the spoils after the political victory is won. Colored folks, it is essentially neces- vary right, through here that we make friends with those white folks, who will let us make friends with them. As for the other kind, well they can go to the devil. President Harding may be all right and according to Hon. Harry C. Smith and Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, he is and they know, but he is certainly making some "mighty" curious moves at this time. In fact, we do not understand them. Colored men, let us assure our white friends, be they Democrats or Republicans that we mean well and that we realize that there must be permanent friendship between the two races in this country. When it comes to a spurious Democrat and a genuine one, please count us with the genuine one. When it comes to a spurious Republican and a genuine Republican or Democrat, please count us with the genuine type all the time. --- Even Hon. C. Bascom Slemp, Congressman from Virginia is reported not to have had influence enough to get a Negro delegate to the Republican Convention through the door of the convention hall. The only way you could get into the Republican Convention at Norfolk was to wear the uniform of a Jantor and be vouched for by the Democratic officials, who had been stationed to vise Republican passports. Remember that the dissolute, lazily shifting, immoral, disproutable elements are largely responsible for this wave of opposition, which is meeting us on every hand. Shipping this class of people North has been largely responsible for our undoing. Colored men, who are so busy making money or losing it that they cannot cast a wind-ward eye towards their political condition will soon find that they have lost political rights, property and money and that the poor house and the grave yard are the only places of refuge. Jack Johnson has been discharged from the Leavenworth penitentiary and he is said to have celebrated his return to public life by having a suit made with broad stripes and he is wearing this suit in the midst of his admiring friends. Trying to split the Solid South and to keep it split has invariably resulted in the splitting of the Solid North You may have the one, but you will lose the other. Some of our statesmen seem to learn nothing by experience. It is reported that the presence of just one colored representative upon THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the National Republican Committee of the United States of America is being resented and that he has been advised that his presence is objectionable to a large number of his associates. We hope that the leaders amongst the colored people will proceed to put into operation some plan for the purification and betterment of our own people. Many of the fils from which we suffer are of our own making. The Republicans are now considering, what will happen, when the colored people, who were not allowed to vote in a Republican Convention after having been regularly elected proceed to enter the voting booths November 8th, 1921 to do what they want in the matter of scratching a ticket. No matter what may be the outcome of present day conditions, it should not be forgotten that great principles are eternal and that there is a remedy for every wrong. Punishments for the violation of great principles may not be swift, but they are sure. V The Hon. Marcus Garvey is back in the United States of America after a four months visit to other foreign countries. It may be, that from a financial stand-point the tour of t: States in this country will bring him most revenue if not most satisfaction. These are bad days for shipping, but good ones for purchasing vessels, if you have the money. Now comes, Mr. Archibald Johnson residing in Geneva, Switzerland with the declaration that the holding of the Du Bois Pan-African Congress at this time in Europe will be a monumental mistake and defeat the very purpose for which it is being launched. The Anti-Negro combine at Washington seems to have won out both with the national organization and with the administration. Everything is to be sacrificed for a prospect of success. --- President Warren G. Harding was very religious when he entered the White House and he studiously regarded the teachings of the Holy Bible. As we read the daily newspapers and ponder over the reports from the White House relative to the citizens of color, we are led to wonder, if he is yet standing upon the same platform. It looks to us, as though the disgruntled Democrats in this State nave captured the Republican machine for the purpose of wreaking their vengeance upon and overthrowing the regular Democratic organization. In plain language, a democratic ticket was nominated at Norfolk, flying Republican colors. Such political tricks should deceive no one. Col. Henry W. Anderson boastfully asserts that the Republican platform adopted at Norfolk and the action of the body itself in excluding colored men, who had been lawfully elected and whose seats were not contested removed the race issue from this campaign in Virginia. He will find out his mistake before this campaign is half over. ```markdown ``` Hon. Henry W. Anderson is running for the office of Governor upon an anti-Negro platform. He did not need to have done this. He will come just as near being elected on a straight Republican ticket with the Negro as a factor as he will without the Negro. The objectionable designation in the Southern States is that of Republican. It is alleged to stand for the bayonet and the carpet-bag rule. Some white men have forgotten this unsavory designation, but many remember it. The Democratic machine in this State will name the next Governor just as it always has done. Those Republicans, who are running for federal patronage instead of the State offices will have a good chance to win the federal patronage unless some in dependent /ticket polls more votes than the regular Republican white ticket polls. The announcement that the Nation- al Administration has thrown the weight of its influence against the citizens of color in this part of the country will be read with a feeling of dismay and regret by every loyal Republican throughout the length and breadth of the country. We have called attention to the fact that the organized propaganda in Washington could only be met by the most gigantic effort on the part of the colored people of this country. It is reported that Hon, Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo, Ohio, confidential Republican friend of the distinguished Ohio got some confidential information upon the race question when he headed a delegation of colored men to have a few words with the occupant of the White House. They were not exactly "cussing" but they were thinking "mighty hard." The removal of large bodies of colored people North, where they have engaged in intemperate language and in more intemperate living has done much to injure us in the good opinion of many people, both white and colored. Still, the denial of rights and privileges to the worthy members of the race on account of the deficiencies of the unworthy is the rankest kind of injustice. Hundreds of colored folks work just long enough to have their wants and necessities supplied and then they just sit down and stop work. This is caused by the raiding and environment. Some of them are learning better and some others are temporarily filling the grave yards in northern cities. In many of the large places, a body has a limited time to remain in a grave-yard, the remains must give way to some body, else entitled to a brief rest in the same place. --- AN OFFER TO ALL VOTERS The Richmond, Va., Dispatch of Sunday, July 24, 1321 carried the following advertising announcement which/will be of interest to voters, white and colored-, Democrat and Republican. TO ALL VOTERS J IN VIRGINIA The Republican Party in convention at Norfolk, Va., July 14, eliminated the race question from politics in Virginia and nominated the following State ticket FOR GOVERNOR | Henry W. Anderson, of Richmond. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JOHN H. Hassinger, of Washington CJ FOR ATTORNBY-GENERAL- Harry K. Walcott, of Norfolk FOR SUPT. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis Otey, of Lynchburg. FOR SECY OF COMMONWEALTH T. K. Parsons, of Grayson Co. FOR STATE TREASURER— J. W. Flannagan, of Radford FOR CORPORATION COM--- Gilbank Twigg, of Fauquier Co. FOR COM. OF AGRICULTURE-- Jacob S. Haldoman, of Frederick Co IMPORTANT! The Governor and other officials will be elected in the general election held on November 8th. Keep free as a citizen to vote for the best ricker after you have heard the issues discussed. REPUBLICAN, CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE Joseph L. Crupper, Chairman; Headquarters—Jefferson Hotel, Richmond, Virginia. It will be observed that whereas at Norfolk, the invitation was made to all white voters and none others, that at the polls, next November, the invitation is worded so as to include all voters. There is one interesting statement in this announcement and that is that these officials are to be elected November 8th, 1921. From the attitude of the Republican-Democratic Convention held at Norfolk, Va., there was to be no election afterwards in which colored people can vote. There is only one line in this advertisement, which interests and these are the words, "Keep free as a citizen to vote for the best ticket after you have heard the issues discussed." We shall certainly proceed to do this and we believe that the citizen generally will do the same thing. A ticket, which was born in racial discrimination and nurtured on race hatred will hardly win the support of the right-thinking people of the Old Dominion. ANOTHER SLAUGHTER. The Associated Press report from Monroe, Louisiana under date of July 17, 1921 seems to announce a shaughter of colored men, which was unjustified and cruel. White boys went to a swimming hole in the vicinity of the residences of some colored women and refused to leave. They evidently attacked the women and they claimed that these women punished them. White men claiming to be deputy sheriffs went to arrest them. They did not succeed in arresting them. Then a mob formed and attacked the women and the men, finally killing four colored men and in the melee one white man was dangerously wounded. We presume that the announcement will now be made that peace reigns in the neighborhood. These are the conditions, which are making our residence in some parts of the Southland untenable. Reason has no sway and common-sense is never exercised. Had this interracial movement been in operation in tots' neighborhood, this unfortunate slaughter would not have occurred. It is evident that colored men are becoming more and more inclined to strike back and to pay the penalty of their in trepidity. There are serious times ahead and we should be prepared to meet them. PRESIDENT HARDING'S DELIVER ERANCES. That is indeed starting and surprising information which comes from Washington and which quotes the President of the U. S. in the face of his pre-election pledges to have made the following statement: Gentlemen, I am very thoroughly convinced in my mind as to the policy that I am going to inaugurate with reference to appointments and that is I am not going to appoint any colored men to public office in the southern states, but there will be some appointments in the northern states. This thing called "race prejudice" you can not down by battling it, and the only salvation as I see it, for the colored man in the South is to fall into the ranks behind white leadership until he can, acting through southern legits, latures work out his destiny. This is my policy and I am going to follow it live or die, sink or swim. This is an absolute surrender to the anti-Negro oligarchy, which has bombarded the White House ever since the distinguished Ohioan entered it. These people fought to achieve this result, and the people, who are thus humiliated must be equally persistent in their struggle to reverse this condition of affairs. You cannot bar representation to the Negro in one section of the United States of America without eventually doing the same thing to the other section of the country. It was the immortal Lincoln, who proclaimed that this country could not exist half slave and half free and so it is that this political combination cannot continue with one half of it discriminated against on account of race and color and the other half not 'discriminated against for the same reason. To our mind this is a bold and bare-faced attempt to divide the Negroes of the country, by giving a sop of political, official recognition to the colored people of the North and at the opportune time to exclude all of them from any participation in the official affairs of this government, Hon. Warren G. Harding's sojourn in the southern states has had its effect. He is a reconstructed statesman along the most rampant anti-Negro political lines. He evidently fears the Negroes of the North, whose votes are a potent power in the affairs of the doubtful States. To endeavor to get him to address assemblages of colored people now in the face of his present day utterances would to our mind be an insult to their intelligence. So far as the colored folks are concerned, farewell, Hon. Warren G. Harding, Good night and goodbye! $100 DEATH CLAIM PAID Richmond, Va., July 25, 1921 Mr. A. W.

Done with the world's vexations, done with its tears and toll; Tire of all earthly playthings, heart sick and reckless sleep; Reary to bid our friends farewell, wondering why they weep. Passing out of this shadow, into eternal day; Why do we call it dying this sweet going away? Her devoted mother. MARY E. BANKS. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Richmond, Va., July 21, 1921.

In the meantime, Mr. C. G. Johnson showed through the fine Elk's home recently purchased there. We called upon Mrs. Cary Truheart and we met with Mr. Albert V. Norrell, Sr., who was the guest of his daughter. We went to Fitzgerald's cafe, but saw Mr. Fitzgerald's brother. The next morning, after meeting many friends we left for Asbury Park. We stopped on the road and picked some buckle-berries. Arriving at Lake wood we met a white individual', who examined the Stanley critically. TERRIFIC SPEED He said that he had worked at one time at the Stanley factory and had taken a part in the races of the Stanley car. He explained how terrific speed could be gotten out of this car and why it was finally ruled off the track. He said that Mr. Stanley, the inventor of the car had been halled into court for speeding, but the officer could not produce conclusive evidence against him. The judge saw no way out but to let him go. Finally, he said, "Mr. Stanley, how fast were you running that car? "I was doing 85" was the instant reply. He did not say how many more miles per hour he had been making. / THOSE AWFUL DETOURS It was after three o'clock when we left Lawcaw for Asbury Park. We called on Dr. John H. Hayes and later visited his wife and their hounding baby son. We left soon after eating dinner for New York. We got out of the regular road and finally got back into it again, being desirous of taking the shoreline route for New York. We met with one short tortuous tour and then with a long one. We had decided to take the Staten Island route and we crossed the ferry. The roads were good on Staten Island. Then we reached the other side of the Island, where we again took the ferry boat for the Battery, turning into broadway with the sun disappearing in the distance, we were soon on our way to Harlem. IN NEW YORK AT LAST We called on Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Thomas. Their son has been recently signally honored with an appointment. We went to the Hotel De Vau at 203 W. 135th street, where we were made comfortable with two rooms at $3.00 per night, making $1.50 each for the party. We parked the Stanley on the outside and after supper had been served we went to sleep with the idea of making a five o'clock drive for Boston, Massachusetts, by way of the Adirondack Mountains. I had no trouble awakening either Robinson or Ernest. They wanted to go to Boston, and it was only on condition that we could travel early that I consented not to turn the radiator of that car southward and start back for the Old Dominion. SCENES INDESCRIBABLE It may be well to state that New York presents a scene, which is practically indescribable. Here in flats live all kinds and conditions. Beautiful women and ugly ones are in evidence and lazy men and industrious ones are to be found everywhere. In a way everybody attends to their own business and they can live straight or crooked, just as they elect to live. All conditions and all characters are sheltered under the same roof. The jail-bird and the devout church-member may be seen coming out of the same front door. This is true o tite white and the colored. Privacy of a kind found inland is not observable here. In the midst of all of this, the preachers flourish. C OLORED FOLKS THERE It is not essentially necessary that these men be of ability. They must please the crowd and answer to the demands of the humble. Then they can "live in clover," so to speak. After night-fall, children are seen running about the streets. It is a wonder that more are not killed and wounded. Women sit out on the front, arrayed in lll of the finery of these north-een cities, while others have carried with them the customs of other days and sit just as they are. I find looked in 'wonderment at this change which had brought tens of thousands of colored people from the Sunny South to this northern clime. HAD ENOUGH FISHING We would meet people, whom we knew, just as though we were in our home city. But Robinson had up steam on the outside and Mr. De Van was looking out of the front window, like an Arabian being arrayed in the under-wear of the night before. He had told me some interesting anecdotes. In speaking of the Dempsey-Carpentier match, he said that he had seen enough fighting in his day and he did not wish to see any more. He had been a Pullman porter at one time. He had also lived in San Antonio, Texas with a white family. He was a good-timer in those days. He told how he could fight and that he gloried in the pugilistic art. He had worked at the training camp of pugilists. EXPERIENCES IN TEXAS He was in a saison in San Antonio when a bully came in where they were playing. He insisted upon crowding the small attendant to the walt. This man stood six feet in his stocking feet, and he had the habit of shooting up saloons. Every body was afraid of him. He had two revolvers on his hips. No one dared to go to the aid of the helpless, attendant. Finally, he could stand no more and so he went up to this man and landed a upper-cut, for which he was noted, sending him sprawling to the floor unconscious. Some \of those present thought he was dead, but after much effort, he was brought around. ON THE WAY OUT. The police made enquiries, but by that time De Van was gone. He expected to be arrested, but nothing came of it, until one day, he saw this same man coming up the street with a boy, who pointed him out as the one. The bully did not attack him, but extended to him his hand. De Van was shy of him. They talked over the affair and parted, but Mr. De Van always gave him a wide berth after that. He told too of his experiences in Frederick Maryland, where he had bouts with the police officers. But we were leaving now and the individual, who had interested me the night before was still at the window in his disabilities waiting to see that new Stanley Steam Car move off in the early morning. CLIMBING HIGH MOUNTAINS CLIMBING HIGH MOUNTAINS We waved his adieu and Robinson joyfully turned up Seventh avenue and followed the instructions which we had received at Philadelphia. Dr. Jefferson having made copious extracts from Blue-book T, which we found in the possession of Gen. B. G. Collier's chauffeur. It proved of great benefit to us taking us up through Tarrytown, Yonkers, White Plains and through the magnificent highlands of New York. The car moved like a thing of life. It gave absolutely no trouble, responded promptly to the throttle, holding steam when climbing those dangerous mountain grades where we met curves after curves and where we wound down the mountain side with the brakes tight in the same way we had climbed them on the otherside, with the brakes loose.

McDaniel, founder and for many years president, The Enterprise Institute, a trade school at 502 to 516 Aldine Square, who died July 14th after a brief illness, was laid to rest at Lincoln Cemetery after impressive funeral services at The Benezec Baptist Church of which he was a devout member.

Mme. Blanche Dorsey Poyton sang as did inmates of the school. Following many other tribes, the funeral winded its way to the cemetery. Rev. T. L. Scott, pastor of Grant Memorial A. M. E.

Read The Planet and keep informed as to what our Race is doing in world and domestic affairs THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TEXAS KU KLUX KLAN RENEWS REIGN WITH TAR AND FEATHERS. Masked and Uniformer Bands Seize Victims in Many Sections. Woman Stripped to Waist, Shorn of Hair and Coated. With Tar. No Official of Legislative Action Taken to Check Spread of Terrorism. Austin, Tex., July 22.—The Ku Kuklux Klan has been reestablished in Texas in full vigor of the terrorism that made it so terribly feared in reconstru- ction days following the civil war Events of the last few weeks show that such an organization is in wide spread operation in this state, although no one outside its pane can say who belongs to it. It moves secretly. Whipping, usually followed by a coat of tur and feathers, seems to be the officially prescribed punishment for the evildoers who fall under the ban of the Ku Klux Klan. These have been performed by the score since the first appearance of the masked and uniformed men at Dallas on the night of April 1. Not a day passes that not one or more reports of affairs of this kind are made. For the most part the victims are men of bad, repute, perhaps they are wife beaters, bigamists, gamblers and offenders against the moral law. Ad vance warnings are sometimes given, but not always. Many more white men have been whipped, tarred and feathered than colored. No discrimination as to race, color or nationality is shown. LONG LIST OF TARRINGS At Goose Creek two oil field workers, B. L. Bloomworth and Clan Jones were seized, given a drumhead trick by a band of masked men, found guilty of being undesirable citizens tarred and feathered, carried to Houston in an automobile and turned loose. K. Cummings of Waco was taken by masked men into the country and tarred and feathered. At Fort Worth Benny Pinto was seized by masked men, taken into the country and tarred and feathered and then brought back to town and dropped into the street. In the same city a man was given similar treatment because he had mis treated his wife. At Goose Creek Will Stewart, a jitney driver, fell into the hands of the Ku Klux Klan and was treated to a coat of tar and feathers. At Bolton a colored quan, named Jim Collins who had been charged before the Grand Jury with making an insulting remark to a white woman was whipped and tarred and feathered by masked men, brought back to town and told to walk the streets until midnight and then leave town. He wore a placard on his back "Whipped by the Ku Klux Khan." Ed Eengers, who operated an oil flig station at Dallas, was seized by masked men whipped for alleged cruelty to his wife handed a $5 dollar bill by his tormentors and sold to leave town. ONE MAN DEFIES CLAN Dr. Paul, a physician of Beaumont, was taken into the country and tarred and feathered. He was told to leave town, but has remained. Yesterday he received a second warning to leave or a worse fate would befall him Dr. Paul says he will not go. In Houston a lawyer was tarred and feathered by masked men and ordered to leave town. W. H. Hoopinggarner, former cashier of a bank at Bay City was seized by a band of masked men and tarred and feathered. At Lufkin Wherwood Vinson and Ben Wiley, received similar treatment at the hands of masked and ghostly uniformed men. J. W. Knight, a plumber of Timpson was tarred and feathered and ordered to leave town. He did not leave and five days later he was given another and heavier coat. R. F. Scott, a former service man who was in the battle of Chateau Thierry, was driving along a country road near his home at Deweyville, when he was overhauled by masked men in automobiles. He was whipped and tarred and feathered and then taken to Beaumont, where he was dumped out into the street. Harry Adams was soiled by masked men at Glidden and Heaton, but before the tar and feathers were applied the discovery was made that he was the 'wrong man' and he was given his liberty with apologies. Andrew Johnson, colored bellboy in a Dachas Hotel was taken into the country by masked men and the letters "K, K. K." were branded upon his forehead. Earl H. Peters, of Tyler was in Chandler on insurance business when he was assaulted by masked men who claimed to be Knights of the Klan and robbed of $250. He is still unconscious from the wound he received upon the head and his death is expected. The only woman who has so far received the attention of the Klan was Mrs. Beutah Johnson, who was employed in a hotel at Teneha. Masked men grabbed her as she was sitting on the porch of the hotel, conveyed her in an automobile into the country, where they stripped the upper part of her body of clothing, applied a coat of tar and feathers and then cut off her hair. It was alleged that she is a bigamist. In Dallas and many of the other cities and towns of the State there have been parades of masked men who claim to belong to the Ku Klux Klan. More than four hundred men were in the parade in Dallas. Many public warnings to law violators and moral leopers have been posted in pubic places over the State. These warings are signed by the Ku Klux Klan. The local and State authorities have as yet done nothing toward exposing the organization. Members of the Legislature have been, discussing the subject but no bill or resolution relating to the Ku Klux Klan has been introduced APPEAL OPPOSES ARMY COLOR LINE. The Appeal wrote the Secretary of War for information relative to the segregation of colored Americans in the United States Army. The following is the reply: WAR/ DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON Mr. J. O. Adams. I am in receipt of your letter of May 14th, in which you take execution to the idea of organizing colored troops into a separate division for National Guard service. In reply I may say that although the separate organization of a colored division has not been ordered by the War Department for peace time National Guard service, it is strictly in accordance with the policy of this Department that colored units shall be organized into complete and separate divisions whenever the necessity arises for the formation of such units in time of war. This policy is based up on the experience gained by the W-W Department throughout our country's military history. It was carried out during the World War in the organization of the 92nd and 93rd Divisions which saw overseas service, and I am surprised that this plan which met with such thorough approval at the time should now be obJECTED. I think that you must have been incorrectly informed us to the War Department's attitude or this question for years is the first criticism of this policy which we have received. On the other hand this office has received numerous letters from colored citizens endorsing the organization of combat divisional units of colored membership and objecting to the fact that the War Department has found it necessary (in view of limited ap proportions and the difficulty of training units scattered over wide areas) to restrict for the present the organization of colored troops in the National Guard to those units that operate directly under orders of the Corps or Army Commanders and which do not enter into the composition of a dl vision. Very truly years, (Signed) JOHN W. WEEKS, Secretary of War This is the reply of The Appeal. St. Paul, Minn., June 28, 1921 to Secretary Weeks: Hon. John W. Weeks I have received your letter without date written in reply to my letter of May 14, asking information relative to the formation of a separate colored division of the National Guard. While I am pleased to learn that no such organization has been ordered for peace time. I regret to hear that it is the policy of the War Department to organize separate divisions at any time, either in peace or war. The matter of organizing colored soldiers into separate units is fundamentally wrong, and I believe unconstitutional. It is a wrong which has continued since the organization of colored troops, but the continuation of a wrong does not make it right. It is a wrong which the World War fought as it was claimed "to make the world safe for democracy," should have righted. It is wrong because it is undemocratic. It is wrong because it takes the colored soldiers out of of their proper places in the states in which they live and makes them a segregated part of the Federalized National Guard. It denies them their rights as citizens of their respective states and forces them into a special segregated status which is not applied to other groups of Americans, such as Germans, Irish Russians, French, Poles, Spanish, Portuguese, Danes, Swedes; British, Austrians, Hungarians, Serbians, Bulgarians, Belgians; etc., and it is not applied to Indians; Jews; Japanese; Chinese; Koreans; Javonese; East Indians; Burmese and other colored races. If the colored man is a citizen he is entitled to All the rights of citizenship and this includes the right to be on an absolute equality with all other citizens. It is unjust for the government to single him out from the various elements which compose American citizenship and place upon him the badge of a parish castle. I am sorry to learn that I am the first to protest against this way but trust that from now on proceeds may come in by the thousands to the end that you may be induced to change this policy of your predecessor.
