WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Liberty RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 6 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS The route was now the most picturesque of the entire journey and we service in time-making was the worst. I was now passing through a rough mountain country with its chenas and I was soon to pass through the Royal Gorge. It was the neck of the final lap in the World's use ball series in New York and then we had reached the summit of one of the highest mountains, a passenger came in with the information, at the game stood 3 to 0 in favor of the Giants with other injuries on the play. This signified but little, as we got further down the road that afternoon, the Pullman car conductor, as smiling, "I held a ten dollar sake, for the porter and the news agent on the train. The news-agent faced his money on the New York ankles and the colored porter on the New York Giants. COLORED PORTER WON The news' agent just told me to fly the colored porter. The Giants gave won, 3 to nothing. We were there we could not get a newspaper, at the wires had told the story. We were now passing down the mountain and then up again. In order to climb we train would make, what seemed he "po'chook curves." It would be just above the track below and then would continue to describe similar curves until the top was reached. The conductor pointed out one place on the mountain side, where a few books before the train on which he as travelling had left the rails. I had crossed the Great Divide and it as since Tuesday night that I had been travelling and it was now Thursday night and I had not seen a colored passenger on the train. THE ROYAL GORGE Fullman cars look comfortable and after you get used to them, they feel at way, but I was never more tired my life. Now the scenery tended to seen the monotony. At times I could write, but the swaying motion the train made this a difficult task I gave myself up to musing over past and of forming plans for the future, but I even got tired of this, the porter whispered to me that he could take me to the end of the train cough a dead-head coach where I saw the Royal Gorge and I followed him and was left alone there to contemplate the wonders of this remarkable freak of nature. This gorge 2,627 feet deep and the train way at the bottom. Looking upwards, did not appear to be more than 300 A SLOW TEAM. A stream of water trickled along of the railroad track and then we wessed over a most peculiar suspen- dence bridge. I returned to my seat in "Pullman" car. I saw touring cars later. I saw a settler. He was driv- ing a large covered wagon, to which he hitched two large horses. A woo- d and a boy trudged along on foot unconcealed as though they were a country road near a large fast- city. A car was coming, but I did not see any way for it to pass a team on that narrow mountain d. It must stop or go at a "small ce" until a turn out point could be chieved. As for n., we were steadily time. THAT TERRIBLE FLOOD was now in the suburbs of Pueblo I could see everywhere evidence devastation, when the Colorado rav and left its banks and had done mill of dollars worth of damage. I iron bridges resting in th. river, while heavy tree had been uplifted and mills and factories destroy Safety was obtained only by resting to the high land, which sur- sures this picturesque city. I was easy about making connection at river for St. Louis. We were due Denver at 12:45 and it was now only 2 P. M. I decided to wire Dr. S. P. Westbrook as I could not be Denver before $29 that night. I graphed the Denver Star with the text to tell Dr. Westbrook. AT THE STATE CAPITAL was after 4 o'clock when I arrived at Denver. I had learned that the brain was a slow one so I decided here was any way to do it to spend night in the capital city of Colorado. A white red-cap took my luggage as I entered the depot. I saw Dr. throck. He had his car there and as soon on my way to the State厅 where he introduced me to Mr. mrg. W. Gross who had a desk in the Governor's office. He and Dr. Wesa brook conversed and it was not long before. I learned that these two leaders with one other controlled the political affairs in Colorado so far as the colored people are concerned. They introduced me to the Secretary to the Governor. In passing, it may be well to state that Mr. Gross is President of the National Ascitation for the Advancement of Colored People's, Denver Branch. HIGH OFFICIAL I was introduced to the popular Stat, Treasurer and after a little delay in company with Dr. Westhousen, and Mr. Gross, I found my offender into the office of His Excellency the Governor of Colorado. He chose my hand cordially and greeted me in a manner that made me feel at home. We talked about the American Bureau's Association and after he had expressed his satisfaction at having me visit him, I retired much impressed by the attitude of the distinguished Chief Executive of Colorado. He is a Republican and his home, is at Colorado Springs, Col., being rated as one of the wealthiest citizens of that commonwealth. I was soon on the way to Dr. Westhousen's residence at 2555 Glennau. THE WESTBROOK HOME I was glad to get there. Mrs. West brook prepared dinner and I enjoyed the repast. The afternoon had been a strenuous one. Attorney George Ross called to see me. I was given a room luxuriously furnished even to having a portable electric light right at my elbow as I retired in that "did of down." There was no use talking go me about leaving Denver that night. The slow train could go. I would wait for the fast one at 12:45 the next day. I had been billed to speak in St. Louis that night and I was then in Denver, a day and a half's旅 el away. I had made arrangements to speak Monday night somewhere in St. Louis. The St. Louis Argus, Editor Mitchell in charge had herdied my coming and the people were looking for me no doubt, but in that J. H. P. Westbrook home, all of this was for gotten NO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION For once, I was "under the care of a physician", and his Madame, although I was not sick. I had rested for some time, when I decided to see the sights of Denver by electric light and I swelled out to the Great White Way. Crowds were out and I felt somewhat lonely. This was a city for white folks and for white folks' enjoyment, but I was here, the unknown for I had purposely started out alone. I like to gaze in the windows of the stores and to meditate and to observe conditions. During my long trip across the Rockies, I had travelled as a well-to-do white man travels. My color was not observed or was forgotten. As a banker, I noted no racha discrimination whatever. The porters, the walkers and even the train help treated me with every courtesy and (Continued on Second Page.) In Memory.

One dollar will now buy a breakfast, lunch or dinner on The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway dining ears. A new plan of serving special combinations of breakfast, lunch and dinner in complete meals for one dollar each has been put into successful operation on The Chesapeake and Ohio Lines. It has been found that about 50 per cent of our dining car patrons favor this innovation, which saves the passengers a considerable part of the cost of the same meal if ordered a la carte. Three special combinations are provided for breakfast, ranging in price from seventy-five cents to one dollar each and five special combinations at one dollar each for lunchme and dinner menu, in addition to a la carte service. Other combinations will be added and changes will be made frequently in order to offer varieties of choice, as well as to determine which are most popular. These combinations consists of meat or fish, potatoes bread and butter and coffee or tea. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 COL. POLLARD'S CRITICISM Local Pride Lacking—Colored Folks Root in the Long Team. Reasons Behind Edgar of The Richmond Planet. Dear Sir:—I want you, as a representative of the colored people, to tell me why it is that at Athletic Contests held in Richmond, the majority of the colored people always "root" for the visiting team, and against the teams representing Richmond? Whether it is football or baseball, I have noticed for years that 75 per cent of the colored attendants always "root" for the visiting club. At a football game Saturday afternoon, played at Boolevard Field, between the Richmond Athletics, who are representative young Richmond boys, living here, and a Visiting Club, there were fifty or sixty colored people representing the better element of your race, such as college students, barbers, waiters, etc., and I am of the opinion that not one in the crowd wanted to see Richmond win. Personally, I have always done all that I could to help the colored people, and most of my friends have done the game, but there was a feeling of rementation by me, and by a great many other white people, that this lack of head pride, by the colored people, is very distressing. I, and most of the Richmond Athletic Club, have repeatedly been out to see the Virginia Union University play their games and we always give them all the encouragement we can by "rooting" for them but a great many of these students were at the game Saturday and they did not show their appreciation by re-creating. If you will explain to me what prompts this feeling among the colored people in Richmond, perhaps I may be able to forget my present resentment of their attitude towards our local boys. Yours very truly JAMES J. POLLARD In discussing Col. James J. Pollard's officiations with Quartekoff A. C. Jackson of the Virginia Union University Football team last Thursday, he said, "Whenever any of the players come to attend our games, we never segregate them, but when eight of us entered the field at the game of the Athletics and the Cleveland Tigers and stopped on the north side of the field, two cops walked over and told us to go over to the south-west part of the section in the bleachers, where we could only see the actual play when the team was at the west goal. Another reason was that our Coach had played football with and against the quarterback of the Cleveland Tigers, whose name is Brainy Rower. In such a case, he was affriend of his and naturally we rooted for that team. Some few fellows were pulling for this quarterback, who seemed to be a good fellow. A colored fellow, named Ink Williams, who finished at Brown University was also a member of the Cleveland team. When Cuddy Murphy got hurt, this colored man came on the field to assist him off in some way. The north bleachers hollow: "Put the nigger in there!" I have been at every game played by the Richmond Athletics and I have never before in my recollection been asked to move to a certain spot, when standing up in the bleachers.—Ed. N. A. A. C. P. FIGHTS THEATRE SEGREGATION The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today announced the result of letters sent to Loew's Incorporated, against whose theatres in Harlem com plainly of discrimination had been made by colored patrons. The first letter sent by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., to Loew's Incorporated, stated: "A number of complaints have come to me regarding the attitude of certain employees at Loew Theatres, especially those located in Harlem—In certain of these theatres, notably the Victoria Theatre in 125th Street, when colored people—it matters not how respectable they may be—attempt to purchase or orchestra seats they are told that none are vacant but they will be sent in the baleony. In some cases when they have purchased seats in the orchestra they have been refused admission by door-keepers and told that they can sit only in the baleony." Mr. Johnson's letter further pointed out that this constituted a violation on the New York State Civil Rights Law. In reply, finally, the following letter was received at the national office of the N. A. A. C. P: "I have before me your letter on November 30th, addressed to Mr. Marcus Loew. We are thoroughly aware of the existence of the Civil Rights Law. Employees of the theatres, in which we are interested, are instructed by their respective management to afford equal accommodation to all persons, irrespective of race, creed or color. Yours very truly, "LOEW'S INCORPORATED, Leopold Friedman, Sec. CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE PREDICT ED LARGEST IN XEARS. Irving Lewis Spear, Executive Secretary of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association who recently returned from a tour of the State in the interim of the Christmas Seal Sale, has predicted that the Sale this year will be the largest in the history of the work, not withstanding the fact that business conditions are unfavorable. Mr. Spear attributes the enormous demand for Sails to the popularity of the Tuberculosis movement and especially to the fact that the major portion of the money to be raised this year will be left with the respective localities for local work. All counties who will establish permanent tuberculosis clinics have been promised 75 per cent of what they raked to be spent locally, while those who contribute towards the salary of a Pueblo Health Nurse will receive 55 per cent of the Sail sale proceeds. Approximately 70,000 American soliders, sailors and marines were killed or died from other causes during the year in which the United States was actively engaged in the World War. During the same period 150,000 American men, women and children died as the home of Tuberculosis. In Virginia, during the past year there has been a death from this disease every two hours and forty minutes, and if we value a human life in terms of dollars and cents, here is an economic loss of over $16,500,000.00. To those of our readers who are not acquainted intimately with the affairs of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association this paper wishes to state that it is an organization supported entirely from the sale of those little Christmas Seals; that 13 does not carry a heavy over-head expense there being only 2 office secretaries, a field nurse, and a doctor in addition to the Executive Secretary, Mr. Spear. And yet after turning over three fifths of what is raised last year back to the localities for local work, it has managed to examine over 7500 pop. for tuberculosis, going into forty one counties with the work. --- EMPLOYMENT BULLETIN. Issued Monthly by Public Employment Bureau. (Department of Public Welfare) City of Richmond. Room 5. City Hall. ACTIVITIES OF THE BUREAU FOR THE MONTH OF NOV. 1921 During November 606 positions were obtained for the unemployed, this being practically the same as last month when 607 positions were secured, but shows a decrease compared with November of last year when there were jobs for 715 persons. The number of persons seeking employment during November was practically the same as that of October. November attendance being 4966 and October 4924. However, this was a big increase of applicants for work over November a year ago when the total attendance was 2910. The demand for help at this office shows an increase in the requests of a clerical nature. It also shows an increase in skilled help. This increase is shown not only over October but also over November, 1920. There is however, a falling off in the demand for common labor and other unskilled persons. There is at this time practically no demand for common labor, turnover. The hotels and hospitals also seem to have very little labor turnover. Practically all the manufacturing industries of this city show an increase in the number of persons on their pay roll as compared with last month. Many of them anticipate a further increase. The increase referred to above and the optimism which prevails with many employers is most graffitively, however, there is a vast army of unemployed still in Richmond. Unemployment is becoming a very serious matter with many families. Many pathetic cases are being brought to our attention. Reief can be brought about only by employment being given. We have many cases similar to the following: A married man, with ten years experience in general office work was laid off about four months ago. He has used, upn his little savings, also his credit. He will have to obtain employment immediately or break up his home. The management of this Bureau, earnestly solicits the fullest co-operation from every citizen of Richmond in relieving the distress caused by unemployment. Please phone this office if you know of any position open where by we may place some of the unemployed. E. J. CONWAY Manager. December 1, 1921 MR. CHARLES S. GILPIN COMING Mr. Charles S.

I was now passing through a rough mountain country with its ceas chasms and I was soon to pass through the Royal Gorge. It was the deck of the final lap in the World's top ball series in New York and then we had reached the summit of no of the highest mountains, a passenger came in with the information, at the game stood 3 to 0 in favor of the Giants (which were the signified but little, as we got further down the road that afternoon, the Pullman car conductor as smiling, "I hold a ton dollar make, for the porter and the news agent on the train.

In order to climb the train would make, what seemed he "po'kook curves." It would be best above the track below and then would continue to describe similar curves until the top was reached. The conductor pointed out one place on a mountain side, where a few folks before the train on which he was standing had crossed the road and had crossed the Great Divide and it as since Tuesday night that I had been travelling and it was now Thursday night and I had not seen a colored messenger on the train. THE ROYAL GORGE Tullman cars look comfortable and after you get used to them, they feel at way, but I was never more tired of my life. Now the scenery tended to seen the monotony. At times I could write, but the swaying motion the train made this a difficult task and I gave myself up to musing over past and of forming plans for theuture, but I even got tired of this,he porter whispered to me that he could take me to the end of thetrain brought a dead-head coach where I did see the Royal Gorge and I followed him and was left alone there tointemplate the wonders of this remarkable freak of nature.

I returned to my seat Pulman车. I saw (touring cars later, I saw a settler. He was drive a large covered wagon, to which he hitched two large horses. A w oork and a boy trudged along on foot unconcerned as though they were a country road near a large feast- city. A car was coming, but I Id not see any way for it to pass it team on that narrow mountain d. It must stop or go at a "small sie." until a turn out point could be reached. As for us, we were steadily ing time. THAT TERRIBLE FLOOD was now in the suburbs of Pueblo. I could see everywhere evidence devastation, when the Colorado river left its banks and had done millions of dollars worth of damage. I ron bridges resting in the river while heavy trees had been uplifted and mills and factories destroyed. Safety was obtained only by relating to the high land, which surrounds this picturesque city. I was easy about making connection at Denver at 12:45 and We were at 2 P. M. I decided to wire Dr. S. P. Westbrook as I could not see Denver before $20 that night. I graphed the Denver Star with the street to tell Dr. Westbrook. AT THE STATE CAPITAL I was after 4 o'clock when I arrived Denver. I had learned that the I brain was a slow one so I decided here was any way to do it to spend night in the capital city of Colorado. A white red-cap took my luggage and I took the boat. I saw Dr. throok. He had been here as soon on my way to the State where he introduced me to Mr. Erge W. Gross who had a desk in the Governor's office. He and Dr. Wes brook conversed and it was not long before. I learned that these two leaders with one other controlled the political affairs in Colorado so for as many colored people are concerned. They are introduced me to the Secretary to the Governor. In passing, it may be well to state that Mr. Gross is President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's, Denver Branch. HIGH OFFICIAL I was introduced to the popular State, Treasurer and after a little delay in company with Dr. Westbrook and Mr. Gross, I found myself ushered into the office of His Excellency, the Governor of Colorado. He shows my hand cordially and greeted me in a manner that made me feel at home. We talked about the American Banker's Association and after he had expressed his satisfaction at having me visit him, I retired much impressed by the attitude of the distinguished Chief Executive of Colorado. He is a Republican and his home is at Colorado Springs, Col., being rated as one of the wealthiest citizens of that commonwealth. I was soon on the way to Dr. Westbrook's residence at 2555 Glenarp. THE WESTBROOK HOME I was glad to get there. Mrs. West brook prepared dinner and I enjoyed the repast. The afternoon had been a strenuous one. Attorney George Ross called to see me. I was given a room luxuriously furnished even to having a portable electric light right at my elbow as I retired in that "bod of down." There was no use talking to me about leaving Denver that night. The slow train could go. I would wait for the fast one at 12:45 the next day. I had been billed to speak in St. Louis that night and I was then in Denver, a day and a half's travel away. I had made arrangements to speak Friday night so again in St. Louis. The St. Louis Argus, Editor Mitchell in charge had heralded my coming and the people were looking for me no doubt, but in that J. H. P. Westbrook home, all of this was for gotten. NO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION For once, I was "under the care of a physician" and his Madame, although I was not sick. I had rested for some time, when I decided to see the sights of Denver by electric light and I swolled out to the Great White Way. Crowds were out and I felt somewhat lonely. This was a city for white folks and for white folks' enjoyment, but I was here, the unknown for, and purposely started out alone. I like to gaze in the windows of the and to meditate and to observe conditions. I had long trip across the Rockies. I had long trip a well-to-do white man travels. My color was not observed or was forgotten. As a banker, I noted no racial discrimination whatever. The porters, the waiters and even the train help treated me with every courtesy, and (Continued on Second Page.) In Memory.

One dollar will now buy a breakfast, lunch or dinner on The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway dining cars. A new plan $n$ of serving special combinations of breakfast, lunch and dinner in complete meals for one dollar each has been put into succession operation on The Chesapeake and Ohio Lines. It has been found that about 50 per cent of our dining car patrons favor this innovation, which saves the passengers a considerable part of the cost of the same meal if ordered a la carte. Three special combinations are $n$ provided for breakfast, ranging in price from seventy-five cents to one dollar each and five special combinations at one dollar each for luncheon and dinner menu, in addition to a la carte service. Other combinations will be added and changes will be made frequently in order to offer varieties of choices, as well as to determine which are most popular. These combinations consists of meat, or fish, potatoes bread and butter and coffee or tea. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 COL. POLLARD'S CRITICISM. CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE PREDICT ED LARGEST IN YEARS. MR. CHARLES S. C. Local Pride Lacking—Colored Folks Root for the Wrong Team. Reasons Given. Eldor of The Richmond Planet, City. Dear Sir:--1 want you, as a representative of the colored people, to tell me why it is that at Athletic Contests held in Richmond, the majority of the colored people always "root" for the visiting team, and against the teams representing Richmond? Whether it is football or baseball, I have never heard of the 75 per cent of the colored attendances always "root" for the visiting club. At a football game Saturday afternoon, played at Boulevard Field, between the Richmond Athletics, who are representative young Richmond boys, living here, and a Visiting Club, there were fifty or sixty colored people representing the better element of your race, such as college students, barbers, waiters, etc., and I am of the opinion that not one in the crowd had always won. Personally, I have always won all could to help the colored people, and most of my friends have done the same, but there was a feeling of resentment by me, and by a great many other white people, that this lack of local pride, by the colored people, is very distressing. I, and most of the Richmond Athletic Club, have repeatedly been out to see the Virginia Union University play their games and we always give them all the encouragement we can by rooting" for them but not by rooting for them" as students were at the game Saturday and did not show their appreciation by reciprocating. If you will explain to me what prompts this feeling among the colored people in Richmond, perhaps I may be able to forget my present resentment of their attitude towards our local boys. Yours very truly. JAMES J. POLLARD. In discussing Col. James J. Pollard's crittellias with _Quarthegg A. C. Jackson of the Virginia Union University Football team last Thursday, he said, "Whenever any of the players come to attend our games, we never segregate them, but when eight of us entered the field at the game of the Athletics and the Cleveland Tigers stopped on the north side of the field, we were to go over to the south-west part of the section in the bleachers, where we could only see the actual play when the team was at the west goal. Another reason was that our Coach had played football with and against the quarterback of the Cleveland Tigers, whose name is Brainy Bower. In such a case, he was a friend of his and naturally we rooted for that team. Some few fellows were pushing for this quarterback, who seemed to be a good fellow. A colored fellow, named Ink Williams, who finished at Brown University was also a member of the Cleveland land team. When Cuddy Murphy got hurt, the colored man came on the flim flam him off in some way. The north bleacher hollied: "Put the nigger in there!" I have been at every game played by the Richmond Athletes and I have never before in my recollection been asked to move to a certain spot, when standing up in the bleachers.—Ed. N. A. A. C. P. FIGHTS THEATRE SEGREGATION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today announced the result or letters sent to Loew's Incorporated, against whose theaters in Harlem.com plaintiff, of discrimination had been made by colored patrons. The first letter sent by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. C. P., to Loew's Incorporated, stated: "A number of complaints have come to our attention from employees at Loew Theaters, especially those located in Harlem—In certain of these theaters, notably the Victoria Theatre in 125th Street, when colored people—it matters not how respectable they may be—atempt to purchase orchestra seats they are told that none are vacant but they will be sent in the balcony. In some cases when they have purchased seats in the orchestra they have been refused admission by door-keepers and told that they can sit in the balcony." Mr. Johnson's further pointed out that this constituted a violation on the New York State Civil Rights Law. In reply, finally, the following letter was received at the national office of the N. A. A. C. P: "I have before me your letter or November 30th, addressed to Mr. Marcus Loew. We are thoroughly aware of the existence of the Civil Rights Law.

Irving Lowla Spear, Executive Secretary of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association who recently returned from a tour of the State in the Interesse of the Christmas Seal Sale, has predicated that the Sale this year will be the largest in the history of the work, not withstanding the fact that business conditions are unfavorable. Mr. Spear attributes the enormous demand for Seals to the popularity of the Tuberculosis movement and especially to the fact that the major portion of the money to be raised this year will be left with the respective localities for local work. All counties in British permanent tuberculosis clinics will have promised 75 per cent of what the Seal spent locally, while those who contribute towards the salary of a Pupile Health Nurse will receive 55 per cent of the Seal's sale proceeds. Approximately 70,000 American soldiers, sailors and marines were killed or died from other causes during the year in which the United States was actively engaged in the World War. During the same period 150,000 American men, women and children died at the home of Tuberculosis. In Virginia, during the past year there has been a death from this disease every two hours and forty minutes, and if we value a human life in terms of dollars and cents, here is an economic loss of over $160,000,000. To those of our readers who are not acquainted intimately with the affairs of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association this paper wishes to state that it is an organization supported entirely from the sale of these little Christmas Seeds; that 13 does not carry a heavy over-head expense there being only 2 office secretaries, a field nurse, and a doctor in addition to the Executive Secretary, Mr. Spear. And yet after burning the thorns of what is raised last year back to our work for local work, it has managed to examine over 7500 people; for tuberculosis, is going into forty one counties with the work. EMPLOYMENT BULLETIN. Issued Monthly by Public Employment Bureau, (Department of Public Welfare) City of Richmond, Room 5, City Hall. ACTIVITIES OF THE BUREAU FOR THE MONTH OF NOV. 1921. During November 606 positions were obtained for the unemployed, this being practically the same as last month when 607 positions were secured, but shows a decrease compared with November of last year when there were jobs for 715 persons. The number of persons seeking employment during November was practically the same as that of October. November attendance being 4966 and October 4924. However, this was a big increase of applicants for work over November a year ago when the total attendance was 2910. The demand for help at this office shows an increase in the requests of a clinical nature. It also shows an increase for skilled help. This increase is shown not only over October but also over November, 1920. There is, however, a falling off in the demand for common labor and other unskilled persons. There is at this time practically no demand for common labor, turnover. The hotels and hospitals also seem to have very little labor turnover. Practically all the manufacturing industries of this city show an increase in the number of persons on their pay rate as compared with last month. Many of them anticipate a further increase. The increase referred to above and the optimism which prevails with many employers is most gratifying, however, there is a vast army of unemployed still in Richmond. Unemploymet is becoming a very serious matter with many families. Many pathetic cases are being brought to our attention. Relief can be brought about only by employment being given. We have many cases similar to the following: A married man, with ten years experience in general office work was laid off about four months ago. He has used up his little sayings, also his credit. He will have to obtain employment immediately or break up his home. The management of this Bureau earnestly solicits the fullest co-operation from every citizen of Richmond in relieving the distress caused by unemployment. Please phone this office if you know of any position open where by we may place some of the unemployed. E. J. CONWAY Manager. December 1, 1921. MR. CHARLES S. GILPIN COMING Mr. Charles S.

Aamicible settlement of a eulit filled in Hustings Court, Part II, by members representing opposing factions in an election last May of the board of deacons of the Colored Zion Baptist Church, Twentieth and Decatur; a eulit was affected after a four-and-a-half-hour hearing of the case by Justice Maurice in the auditorium or the church last night. The eulit was in the nature of an amputation of the forewrist and defeated deacons in the May elect, in whose compliance, was that they were ousted "in a manner contrary to law and order." After a preliminary hearing of evidence in the case, the election was declared illegal by Judge Weil's, the appeal sustained, and Justice Maurice appointed as a commissioner for the holding of a new election. A signal victory was won by the faction that could be in sympathy with Rev. J. W. Murice, president of the church who was said to be in favor of an increase in the membership of the board and opposed to a reelection. More than 700 members of the church representing the opposing factions, sought admittance an hour before hearing of the case. Notices, however, commending all members in good standing had been sent out by the court of the meeting, and only those holding such cards were admitted. Those who assisted Justice Munroe in the election were Walter E. DuVal, clerk of Hustings Court, Part II, and Sergeant J. T. Willard, court crier. (Richmond, Va., Times Dispatc.)

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today made public a statement to the effect that since the introduction of the Dyer Ant-Lynching Bill in Congress on April 11, 1921 there had been 38 persons murdered by mobs in the United States, of whom two were burned, four bodies being publicly burned after lynching. One of those lynched was a colored woman. Three were white men. Since the Dyer bill was favorably reported by the Com. on the Judiciary, on October 31, 1921 there have been seven lynchings, one body being publicly burned, in Hecena Arkansas. Among the causes assigned for these lynchings are the following: 1. A colored man called in inquiry of a white girl why she had not replied to a note he had written to her. He was lynched for this offense. 2. An old man was accused of assisting a ma*n to escape. 3. Two colored men were lynched for aiding a third to escape. 4. One colored woman was thrown from a bridge and drowned for assisting a colored man to occupe Georgia leads in the List of lynchings since the Dyer bill was introduced, having had 10.

People or nations that like to fight are usually accommodated. People, who become disheartened by failure never amount to any daing. We shall all fare better if we continue to do right, and stop doing wrong. Going out of this world is notling like as easy as coming into it. Complaining is all right, when you have something about which to complain. Some people eat so much, they can not earn enough money to pay their board bill. We are the cause of man yof our We are the cause of many of our own troubles. Dodging responsibility and striving to avoid trouble seem to take up most of the time of some people. Some people speak of the gospel of work, but they have never been able to properly define the evil of idleness. For the first time in four years there will be no colored assemblyman in the New York Legislature. You cannot spend all the money you earn and then die happy with no vision of the poor-house. Colored folks, make friends with the white folks. They can help you right through here now. We caₙ earn much and be happy if we work with good sense and exercise good judgment. Trouble is here for every body and as a rule, every body is getting it sooner or later. When the Bible says, "Pray without ceasing," it does not mean that you must stop working in order to pray. Preachers, who got an increase of pay during the war times are now worrying, because they did not get enough. People, who are well and will not work should not eat. Graves should be furnished free for this class of people. Reaching Heaven by the "back-alley route" is an impossibility although residents of the back alleys may get there. Colored folks, save your money. You may have misfortune and lose money, but never give up. Start in and save again. Colored folks are still in the line light in this country. They are de manding rights and insisting upon privileges. Some people always want you to do them a favor, they can never be found when you want them to do you a return favor. Some people can work when they are in need and they always have some aliment or are helpless, when things go easy with them. People, who do not like the taste of liquor are constantly abusing the folks who dote upon its aroma and appreciate its flavor. The Prohibition Departments seem to have succeeded in securing the greatest dramats in the country to enforce prohibition. You can afford to cheapen everything, but the food you eat. This kind of cheapening as a rule will land you in a grave-yard. Matrimony is a divine institution and so every one should marry, even though they get a divorce six months thereafter. Some people are sad well-nigh all the time and some people are joyful. You can quickly ascertain, to what class you belong. Women are all right. Most men can not get along without them although there are some others, who cannot get along with them. Automobiles travelling is sometimes dangerous business. It is getting to be almost as dangerous as alighting from street-car. --- They seem to have $ \mathrm{o} $ driven the ablest statesmen out of the Congress and men with little ability and less attachments now hold sway. --- White folks who are really friendly to the colored people have been lessening in numbers. Now they seem to be on the increase again. ```markdown ``` As a rule, people who can best be spared are required to go to Heaven and the other kind are permitted to live here to worry other people. The Raleigh Independent says that in many instances, the colored people make trouble for themselves. This is as true as preaching. White folks are good natured some times and colored folks should know it. Colored folks are usually good natured well nigh all the time. Some people believe in sitting down all the time and they keep their hands as idle as though they had a broken thumb. This kind of conduct will help them or anybody else. Climbing the golden stairs was thought to be a pleasant past $tm_0$ until the folks found out that they would be required to pass through the Valley of Death in order to reach the stairs. President Warren G. Harding is all right. We have been endoavoring to post him concerning the ways of the Negro-haters in order to keep him from getting all wrong. Charles W. Mors₀ of New York, who was peremptorily ordered to return to this country from France by the Department of Justice seems to have no rights that the Government is bound to respect. ```markdown ``` A colored man in New York sued Hon. Marcus Garvey for calling him a white man. The latter was required to apologize to him in order to escape punishment. Truly, wonders will never cease. z Every prominent man should own an automobile!

The British and the Irish are now discussing the terms of peace recently signed in London. The outlook seems to be that the agreements will be ratified ultimately by the representative bodies of both nations People, who will not work should be made to play if, in no other way, at least for the amusement of children and the public. Then they will find that even play can be served in the shape or form of work. Some people want oppressive laws and then after they get the laws, they have the time of their lives finding some one to properly enforce them. In this day and time, devils are often in charge of the pulpits and around the collection tables. The honest, straight forward people are too busy to bother with either. Of course, there are notable exceptions. Ireland and its leaders sacrificed all hope of complete Irish independence at this time, when it accepted Premier Lloyd George's invitation to a conference in London upon the basis of the recognition of its allegiance to King George of England. Both sides seemed to have been tired of fighting and in need of rest. ```markdown ``` Mr. Louis Michel of Los Angeles, California has written an extended communication to President Warren G. Harding with reference to the status of the colored people in this and other countries and has urged upon him the necessity for a revision of his utterances with reference to this same class of people as was set forth in his speech at Birmingham, Alabama. The letters is able and scholarly and with no doubt create a profound impression in White House circles, provided its contents are read and thoroughly digested by the distinguished occupant of the White House at Washington --- SHOULD BE RENOMINATED. We can see no reason in the world why Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson should not be renominated for the position of Recorder of Deeds. In fact, we believe that it is essentially necessary that he should be confirmed. He has been backed by the report of the sub-committee of the Committee on the District of Columbia and his nomination subsequently approved by the Committee itself. His chief opponents have been his political enemies in his own State and these enemies are against him because he has been a life-long Republican and an advocate of Republican nominees. We are frank to say that the right-thinking people everywhere regardless of color are watching the Republican leaders and they hope that there will be no faltering as to the issue. This office is not located in Georgia and therefore does not come within the purview of the Senators from Georgia. We hope that there shall need be no further suggestion to the President relative to this matter, but that the distinguished occupant of the White House will again name for the position one of the most remarkable leaders our race has yet produced. THE RADICALS. We have always recognized the need of extremists and radicals in the advocacy of all reforms or in the chlam ploning of great principles. They often do much harm, but in the long run, they do a greater amount of good. People as a rule need an arousing spirit and this class of people will furnish it. You cannot get people to go the whol$_{0}$ limit. They are$_{0}$ too conservative and as a result, these extremists necessarily go much further than the average man will follow. This is exemplified by a train, which stops at a country railway station. The engine which leads must go beyond the station in order to have the coaches stop at the proper place for the passengers to get off. This is why we are not disposed to criticise some of our own leaders, who are indiscreet at times provided we are convinced that they are actuated by the proper motives and mean right. There are others though who make much noise in order to attract attention to themselves and to gain a little cheap notoriety. We refer primarily to those self-sacrificing individuals, who are devoted to the cause which they espouse and who make sacrifices in support of the principles, for which they content and advocate. THE UNDERLYING QUESTION. The underlying question now presenting itself to the Republican Party is whether or not it will continue to be the great organization championing human rights or whether or not it will proceed along the lines of commercialism, subordinating all other considerations to that of money making. It is plainly evident that the distinguished occupant of the presidential office has, to a great extent, shifted his position and yielded much to the voice of the tempter. He has stopped to listen to the voices of the tempter and thereby lost much ground in his upward march to the high ground occupied by great men who have gone on before. When a man is elected to office, he must disregard his personal inclinations and observe his oath of office regardless of the consequences to himself and party. Colored men with sense and ability are conservative enough. They do not expect the impossible, but they do insist upon the exercise of those fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Right doing and right living are practically one and the same. President Harding has reached the height of his ambition. He is President. Let him not forget the devoted colored people, who have supported him and his Party during all of these years. COL. POLLARD AND THE "ROOTERS." The communication we publish elsewhere from Col. James J. Pollard, one of the most prominent white citizens in the South-land, one of the best white friends, the colored people ever had and we might add-ever will have caused us to feel down-cast when we read his criticisms, which for candor is a model of its kind. We are giving the reasons for the action of the Virginia Union University students and those associated with them. It must be remembered that the composition of a student body is much mixed. People from all over the country compose its membership. They have not the local feeling, which can be readily ascribed to those of us, who reside here. The explanation given explains some things, which appeared to be peculiar. We had a similar criticism here, when the colored team from Shaw University at Raleigh, played at the Virginia Union University Grounds and many Richmonders "rooted" for the visitors instead of for the crack Richmond A. S. C. It was afterwards ascertained that the Coach was a Richmond boy and that many of the Richmond spectators were graduates of Shaw University. Still, we would remind our colored folks that the best thing for them to do will be to stay away from these games in the future or let the white folks do the "rooting." More ill-feeling can be engendered in one afternoon at a game of foot-ball, than the conservative members of the race can eradicate in two years. Remember, that "a still tongue makes a wise head." When you go to the white folks games, if you cannot root for the home team, be mournfully silent on the visitors. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. "The Negro and Popular Education was the subject of the very interesting address delivered by Mr. Wallace Jackson on Sunday afternoon at Vesper. Mr. Jackson stated that the greatest hindrance to the unity of our race was pride. The present public school system was largely responsible for this condition in that the curriculum never included any study of the history or literature of the Negro.

CONDITIONS IN DENVER. How long would this changed condition last?? I had spent money heavily, but I had not exhausted my allowance. But now, I was in Denver, where I was unknown so I spoke. I had been told that racial discrimination was every where in evidence. It was more so than in the State from which I hailed for there I knew conditions and could avoid embarrassing situations. I avoided them here too by simply occupying the sidewalks like every one else seemed to be doing and by avoiding the gorgeously decorated and lighted movie picture houses here in the heart of the Middle West. The "Jim Crow" Negro had done his work in aiding the Negro-hating white man in doing his work. True it was that a white "red-cap" porter had handled my luggage and I had paid him for the service, but now I was on my way back to the Westbrook home where I could rest. I boarded a street car, in which I found absolutely no racial discrimination. I had been with Dr. J. H. P. W. Wetbrook to the Consolidated ticket office and to the Union Station to secure Pullman reservation for the Burlington train which left the next day. THAT RESERVATION The agents explained that the reservation could not, be obtained before the next day. I did not regard this as being at all significant, but Dr. Wes brook was apparently uneasy and suggested that he be permitted to secure the reservation for us. He belongs to that class of American humanity who can travel on either side of the racial line for he is as handsome a specimen of an American white man as I have seen in my trip across the continent. I demurred. I was of the opinion that I could see it through on my own hook and that they were giving me the proper information. I had handed the agents my card with instructions to secure a reservation for me and they promised so to do. I wanked a lower berth. Arriving at the Westbrook home, I went to bed, only to be aroused soon after by the Doctor and we talked over old times. THE GARVEY MOVEMENT I slept that night with satisfaction and comfort, and early the next morning went out to investigate the neighborhood. I secured a morning's paper and then stopped to gaze into a window. It was the location of the offices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Pictures of the steamships recently purchased by this great organization were $_{n}$ the windows. I read the advertisements and then a colored man, standing at my side conversed with me. I hurried across the street and got the paper, but not before I found myself suffering from a hemorrhage from the nose which have become habitual with me. It was annoying for it took me about fifteen minutes to get it under control. MAKING VISITS When I got back to the Westbrook residence, Dr. Westbrook was awaiting me. We had breakfast. I went down town with the physician after thinking his accomplished Madame and bidding her good-bye. I visited the offices of the Denver Statesman and the Denver 'Star and sat for a while in Dr. Westbrook's office at 16th and Larimer streets. I had called about that. Pulman reservation and whereas before I could have got an upper, he now reported that everything had been sold and that the only hope was that some one would not go or another sleeping car would have to be placed on the train. THE AMERICAN WOODMEN I decided not to concern myself further about the matter and to board the train and secure accommodations as it did not carry day coaches. I had visited the offices of the American Woodmen and I found that they are doing a fine business and are located in the "heart" of the business district. We found the competent Mr. J. E. Ormos as Supreme Auditor of this national concern. Mr. Lightner is Supreme Clerk. Dr. Wes. Brook and his friends had criticised me for not giving them sufficient notice in order that they might have arranged a meeting for me there. They were much interested in the Virginia politics and they wanted to hear the colored folks' candidate for gubernatorial honors. When train time came, I went to the Union Station in Dr. Westbrook's car and went aboard of that Burlington fast train. The conductor asked if I had a reservation. I answered in the negative after I had landed upon the platform of that Pullman. No power would get me out of that car save by violence. I was going to St. Louis. SECURING ACCOMODATIONS The porter came to tell me that they had assigned me to an upper berth. I sat down and then wont out into the observation part of that Pull man and gazed at wide stretches of grazing land, through which we were passing. In about two hours, the mountains in the distance had faded out of sight. Later, the porter quietly informed me that a lower had not been taken, which had been reserved. If I would see the conductor, he thought I could secure it. I took his advice and secured the coveted location. Dr. Westbrook had asked me to let him know if the train was really crowded and all berths sold, but uppers. I confirmed this. He wanted to take the matter up in Denver. A BOLD ROBBER CAUGHT I was tired and sleepy and was drowsily sitting in the observation SUDDEN EXPOSURES BRING COUGHS, COLDS AND CATARRH It is then that a dependable remedy is needed and appreciated. For it isn't safe to neglect a cold. The sensitive membranes make it easy to take more cold. The cough grows worse, more annoying.

I had noticed that the trainmen were talking in groups and then I found out the trouble. When the train stopped, they took this white man off. He was bound with ropes and was placed in the "lock-up." The train men said that a robber had held up a gasoline station operator. He was shot in the arm. The conductor found this out at the station the other side of McCook. After the train pulled out he leaped aboard the last car and pressed the passengers who were seated on the outside. WANTED A BERTLK: As he did so, he shoved a revolver in his hip pocket and went on inside. He asked the porter on our car if he could get a berth and he told him all were sold but uppers and he would have to see the conductor. He said he would do this. He went on up from In the meantime, the information had been communicated to the conductor who went ahead collecting tickets. When he reached the robber, he tendered him a cash fare. The conductor went forward as if to make change. While he was away he secured a revolver and when he returned he suddenly shoved the nuzzle in the stomach of the robber and ordered him to load up his hands. S'LOPPED AT MCCOOK'S He did so and then the robber's hands were tied behind his back with rope. There was much excitement. I saw the stout conductor on the outside of the station at McCook where we remained for some time. He was talking to his wife as this was the end of the run for him. Men in groups discussed the situation. I retired that night thinking over the situation. I had been thinking of robbers on ray way out and had some thought of them on my way in, but all would have been unprepared if he had attempted to rob that train out there in Nebraska. Most of us would have been like the conductor his revolver somewhere else. Mine was within easy reach in my satchel. I slept soundly that night and awoke with another day's journey before me. There was little of interest either to me or the other passengers. We passed over the short line to St. Louis and did not go by way of Kansas City. When the train reached St. Louis it was nearly 7 o'clock and there was a delegation to meet me. I am not sure that I now remember all of those present, but among the number were: Mr. A. W. Lloyd, Dr. T. A. Curtis, Prof. Charles H. Brown, Editor C. K. Robinson. They propounded to me a most embarrassing question. It ran thus, "We have arranged for you to stop at the Y. M. C. A. Carley Brown is prepared to care for you at his house, we have decided to leave it to you as you know Mr. Brown's residence is some distance out." THE BROWN MANSION I demurd d. I quickly responded that I would leave it to the Committee, but they wouldn't have it so. They insisted upon a decision. Don't leave it to me! was my smiling response. You may as well know that if you do I shall say at Charley Brown's wife's house. This was satisfactory and in a short time, I was in Mr. Brown's son-in-law's car enroute to the Brown mansion. We came down to the Y. M. C. A. Building as per agreement at about 9 P. M. Then we returned to Mr. Brown's residence, I met their daughter and bright-eyed grandson.

Price $1.50. Postage 10 cents. (By Mary White Ovington.) Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Negro literature is lacking in Drama. One great play has been written for the Negro, "The Emperor Jones" by the co-marinated playwright, Eugene O'Neill, and Ridgeley Torrence, the poet has given us three lovely poets' bits of drama: "Granay Maumee" "The Rider of Dreams" and "Simon, The Cyrene." The colored people them selves except in musical comedy and force have not turned to dramatize expression until very recently when Miss Angelina Grimke presents us with her three act play "Rachel." Rachel reads extremely well. It does not rely upon situation and "business" but is Ibsen—like in its realism. One wonders a little why Miss Grimke on her title page did not use the quotation that marks the significance of her heronine name: "Rachel weeping for her children because they were not." The play is laid in a north city and shows a widow with her son and daughter growing up in as favrable conditions as one can expect to find in the United States and yet weighted down by the tragedy of color. Rachel herself will see first as a girl of fifteen, bright and happy, a little tomboyish with an intense love for children. The maternal feeling is the deepest part of her nature. We see her a young woman in the next act, falling in love and promising to marry the hero of the play who is the least convincing character in it. Then through the suffering of the little child whom she and her mother have adopted Rachel begins to feel with terrible intensity the tragedy of life in the colored world. This part of the play is most exquisitely done. One can not get away from this new "Cry of the children," and one understands the nading when the woman, who cares for nothing so much as to have cared of her own, sends away her lover. In the last act Rachel, alone now, hears the child she has brought into her home sobbing in his dreams. As she listens she weeps for her own children that are never to be: "My little children, my little children! I shall never see you—now. Your little brown, beautiful bodies, I shall never see your dimples—everywhere—your laughter—your tears—the beautiful, lovely feel of your love. (Brits her hands against her heart) Never—never—to be. But you are somewhere—and wherever you uare you are mind. All of you! Every bit of you! Even God can't take you away. Little children! My little children! No more used you come to me—weeping—weeping—You may be happy now—you are. The play is a beautiful piece of art and we hope will mark the beginning of a series of great dramatic works by colored writers. Negro critics have declared it too pessimistic. Whether this be true or not it is unfortunate that a work of art should be judged from the viewpoint of propaganda. The Negro today is unfortunately as a period in his development when he is apt to look upon everything written about him over-sensitively. Thus the Emperor Jones has been severely erupted because its hero has committed murder and throughout the play this plays great fear. Supposing Shakespeare had been thus shackled by the critics of his time and had been unable to protray the character of Macbeth. But if Rachel seems too pessimistic to the colored world I have found it a noble piece of propaganda among the whites. Its central figure is life like and infinitely appealing. It has made its readers think and that after all is the most important thing that a book can do. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Newport News, Va., April 21, 1922 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Va.

Shorter Hall at Wilberforce University, around which center the beginnings of the Negro race in its servings for educational advantages; and hopes of the race for better things and out from whose walls have gone so many of the men and women who have done and are doing so much in a worthwhile way for the establishment of the Negro as a very vital force in the affairs of the Nation, was completely destroyed by fire, Wednesday night December 7th. From an investigation on the part of the authorities at the University, and also on the part of the State Fire Marshal's Office, it appears that the fire must have starked from defective wiring in the attic of the north wing of the building. The fire was discovered by students who were returning from the weekly prayer service which was conducted at Galway Hall, at the other side of the campus. President J. A. Gregg, who conducted the prayer meeting and Secretary Jenkins who lives directly across from the building were the first officials in the building after the alarm was sounded. They directed the few boys who were already striving to put out the fire. They were soon joined by Superintendent Berry, Bishop J. H. Jones, Dean Jones, W. A. Anderson and other members of the faculty and friends from the neighborhood. Had there been adequate fire fighting apparatus as hand the building might have been saved. Appeals for help were sent to nearby towns but none would respond and the authorities at Xenia, the nearest town, when called upon, refused to come. Everything possible was done to save the building, and when it finally be came certain that it was doomed, the boys were directed to save whatever they could. Very little was salvaged, however, which left a total loss of oval thousand dollars, and two hundred boys without homes, and many of them without clothing. Superintendent Berry and Dean Woodson very generously throw open the doors of their departments and a committee called by President Gregg, including Bishop Jones and the heads of departments, were able to plan on the housing of students and the care of the College Department, whose class rooms were on the first floor of Shorter. Mr. H. E. Schmidt of Xulia was instrumental in getting Governor Davia to send one hundred cots and two hundred blankets to President Gregg, to be distributed to the young men whose bedding was lost in the confuguration. The local Red Cross unit under Miss Schnoffer has offered aid, and the peo plo generally are doing all possible to care for the wants of the young men. President Gregg and Dean Jones, together with the office forces of both the University and C. N. and I. Departments have been busy in placing the boys in comfortable homes. At the Chapel exercises the next morning, President Gregg spoke feelingly of the great loss, and called up on the faculty and students to show fortitude and bravery $I_n$ the face of the fearful disaster. Bishop Jones assured the faculty and students that the loss although staggering was not altogether discouraging and that steps would be taken to immediately rebuild and take care of the situation. Miss Hallie Q. Brown spoke touchingly of the passing of Shorer Hall, which meant so much in the hopes and inspirations of men and women scattered throughout the world. Chaplin Stewart offered the first one hundred dollars toward the rebuilding of the edifice, and he was quickly followed by a promise of five hundred dollars from Bishop Jones, a hundred dollars each from President Gregg and Dean Jones, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown who went to England and secured over fifteen thousand dollars on Emery Hall promised to raise one thousand dollars toward the fund. All members of the faculty have pledged their support toward the fund. A very vigorous campaign for funds will be started and although a goal has not been determined, President Gregg estimates that at least two hundred thousand dollars will have to be raised at once. The friends of the community have very kindly helped in housing the boys, but this gives only temporary relief, and President Gregg calls upon the Alumni and friends of Wilberforce and those who are interested in the development of Negro youth, to send in gifts for the purpose of raising the funds required. Now is the time, if ever, that the public has the opportunity to give aid to a worthy cause. Contributions in any amount will be gladly accepted and receipted by Secretary C. C. Jenkins and the money set aside for this special fund. The building must be started at once in order to be ready for occupancy by the poening of school for the next schoastical year in October. How strange that just a little over a week before the bell which had been calling students - for over fifty years, should have tolled the requiem of Dr. Thomas Jackson, the last of the first three graduates of Wilberforce, and then as Miss Brown puts it, tolled the knell of the building where it had hung since the completion of the building, following the destruction by fire of the original building on the nights of the assassination of President Lincoln, during the Presidency of Bishop D. A. Payne And as Bishop Payne said, while looking upon the ashes of the old structure, "It went down wood, but it shall go up brick and stone," may we not say that out of the ashes of the old shall also Phoenix-like structure that shall exemplify the hopes and aspirations of the race $ \mathrm{I}_{n} $ its ceaseless struggle for the very best in the new age that is now upon us.

From an invescigation on the part of the authorities at the University, guid also oy Uho part of the State Pire Marshal's Office, it appears that the fire must have stardd from defective wiring in the attic of the north wing of the butiding, The fire was discover- ed by students who were returning from the weekly prayer service which was conducted at Gakoway Hall, at the other side of she campus. President J. A, Gregg, who conduct ed the prayer meeting and Sceretary Jenkins who lives directly across from. tre building were the first offleials in the building after the alarm was sound ed, They directed the fow boys who were already striving 0 put out tho fire, They were soon joined by Superin tendent Berry, Bishop J. H. Jones, Dean (Jones, W. A. Anderson and oth: er Members of the faculty and friends, from the nefghborhood. Had there been adequate fire fighting apparatus ay hand the building might have been saved, Appeals for help were sent to nearby towns Duly none would respond and the authorities at Xenia, tne nearest town, when ealled upon, re- fused to come. Bverything possible was done to save the buiiding, and when it finally — be came cortain (hat it was doomed, the boys were directed to save whateve: they could. Very little was salvaged, however, which left a total loss oftsev oral theasand doliar, and two In dred boys without homes, and many of chom without clothing. Superintendent Berry and Dean Woodson very generously threw opsn the doors of Ukelr departments and a committee called by President Grese, Including Bishop Jones and the neads of departments, were able to pian on Whe housing of students and ihe caro of the College Department, whose class rooms were on the first floor of Shorter. Mr. 1. B. Sdhmidt of Xnia was ts strumental In golting Governor Davis to send one hundred cots and two hun dred blanke:s to President Gregg, to be distributed to the young men whore bedding was lost in the confingration, The local Red Cross unit under Miss Sohneffer has offered aid, and the peo plo generally are doing all possib'e to caro for the wants of the young men. Prosident Gregg and Dean Jones, te kether with (he office forces of both the University. and CN. and 1. Depart: ments haye been busy in placing tho hoys in comfortable homes, | At the Chapel exereises the next morning, Prosident Gregg spoke fest ingly of the great loss, and called up on the faculty and studen's to shew fortitude and bravery fy the face: or the fearful disaster, Bishop Jones as sured the facutty and students that the loss although staggering was no! altogether discouraging and that steps would bo taken to immediately re build and take eare of the situation. Miss Hallie Q. Brown spoke touching ly of the passing of Shorer Hatt, which meant so much in the Iropes and inspirations of men and women seattered throughout the world, Chaps nin Stewart offered the first ong hun- dred dollars toward the rebui'ding of - the edifice, and he was quiekly folluw: ed by a promise of five hundred do.- lars from Bishop Jones, a hundred dot lars cach from President Gregg ana Dean Jones, and Miss Hallie @. Drown who wens to England and secured over fifteen thousand dollars on Emery Mall promised 40 raise one Mrousand dollars towardthe fund. AN members of the faculty have pledged (heiy sup port Coward the fund. ) A very vigorous campaign for funds will be etarted and although a goal | has not been determined, President Gregg estimates thar. at Teast two. him dred thousand dolars will have tobe raised at once. ‘Tho friends of — the community have very kindy helped in housng the boys, but this gives on “ly vemporary relief, and President | Gregg calls upon Ure Atumni and friends of Wilberforce and those who are interested in the development — of Negro youth, to send in gifts for the purpose of raising the funds required, | Now is the time, if over, that the pub lic has the opportunity ’to give ald to 8 worthy cause, Contributions in any amount will be gladly accepted and re coipted by Secrotary C.

W. E. Lee was a spiritual upfit to all who heard the Holy Spirit, overshadowing the service. Numerous expressions of the visitation of the Spirit manifested throughout the service. It may well be called a high day in Zion. Madison Stanfield has accepted the agency for the Salvasona Romedies through Dr. D. W. Turner of Memphis, Tenn. and will receive his first order about Christmas. Rev. James S. Hatcher, B. D. of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday morning preached on "Samuel's Greatness and Failure." An arrow was driven home to the hearts of three young men and they came forward and accepted the Saviour. There were three conversions, four accessions and three baptisms. A most persuasive appeal was made in this discourse and also in the prayer by Brother James H. Hale who offered a very forwent-prayer for the unsavored in the audience who were drifting away from hope and Heaven. At night Rev. Hatcher used as his subject, "The Last Call," from Revolations 22nd chapter. It was a sound message full of instructions. The collection for the day was $110.64, for which all praise and thanks belong to God, who is the author of good and perfect gifts. The Bible Class meets every Friday evening. Dr. Hatcher of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church is teacher and instructor. The funeral services of Mr. Robert Balloy, of Greensboro, N. C. took place from the residence, 647 Lynchburg Avenue, N. E. Life was born December 22, 1862, resided in Roanoke eleven years and died December 6th. He leaves to mourn their loss, four daughters, three sons and a host of relatives and friends. The eulogy was delivered by Rev. W. W. Hicks, "The Mystic Hand of Death." Mrs. Sanders of 610 Sixth Avenue N. W., who has been quite ill, is reported much improved. T. C. Christmas while helping J. T. Thompson kill hogs fell on a butcher knife last Wednesday, inflicting a serious wound in his hand. It was learned that Dan Barkalea is now lying in Roanoke hospital as a result of falling off a Roanoke and Southern train last week. Mr. John Caldwell of Center Ave. has been quite indisposed for two weeks or more suffering with Rheumatism. Mrs. Carrie Stafford, who has been indisposed at her home on Norfolk Avenue is much improved. Mr. James Powell, of Tenth Avenue, who has been quite ill, is still indisposed at this writing. Dr. D. W. Turner, the traveling agent for the Salvassona Medicine Co. of Memphis, Tenn. called to see M. Stanfield and informed him of the wonderful success he has had since early Spring. He seems to be one of the old type like the writer back in the sixties. His claim on the curative quality of this wonderful medicine is very inducive, hence I shall have some of his remedies on hand during the holidays, according to agreement. Call and see me at 153 Wells Alley, N. W. Mrs. Lillian Jones, of Richmond, Va. is at the bedside of her ill mother Mrs. Stewart, near the city. Rev. C. E. Hodges of Wheeling, W. Va., formerly traveling superintendent of the M. E. Church, but now pastoring at Wheeling, W. Va., was in the city this week. He filled the pulpit for Rev. Clair at St. Paul M. E. Church Sunday, the tenth. Mr. Anderson Tolbert has moved to the stand formerly occupied by Lawson Brother, 214 Henry St., N. W., where he is more comfortably situated for cleaning and pressing. The Stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Campbell, 167 High Street, N. W. and left a fine boy. Mother and baby are getting along nicely. Mr. Warner F. Hughes returned to Milton, N. C., where he visited his mother, who was ill. He left her much improved in health. He carried his gun along and returned with a 38 pound turkey, several rabbits, birds and other game. FINDINGS OF EX-PARTE COUNCIL Findings of the Exparte Council held at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Thursday, December 1, 1921, to consider grievances between the High Street Baptist Church and certain members of said Church, who constitute the Silver Leaf Workers of Roanoke City. Pursuant to the call of the member of soid workers, the following brother assembled at above named Church, Rev Dr. A. A. Galvin, Rev Dr. T. J. King, Prof. R. C. Woods, A. M., Rev C. E. Jones, Rev M. C. Allon, B. D., Rev C. T. Murry, B. D., Rev Dr. M. L. Gordon, Rev Dr. A. L. James, Rev Dr. W. W. Hicks, Rev J. J. Jefferson, Rev William Gilbert, Rev Dr. C. E. Miller, Rev J. H. Robinson, Rev L. K. Jackson and Deacon R. B. Bailey, as an Exparte Council, and after prayerful consideration of the facts as presented by the aggrieved parties and answer made by the pastor of High St. Church, Rev W. E. Lee, B. D., his church clerk, A. D. Taylor, A. L. B. Robinson and Deacon Jones, the committee representing the Church, the Council submitted the following: First. The Council finds that the Church was not warranted in excluding these members, because we do not find that they had done anything contrary to a good Christian conscience, or the teachings of the Scriptures, or anything contrary to the practice of the Baptist Church. Second. That the Church was in error in proceeding to exclude these members before granting them opportunity to appear in person, and answer in their own defense of the charges against them, and that this step was hasty, unchristianlike and without Scriptural ground and warrant. Third. That in excluding these persons under one blanket motion, was in direct violation to proper dis- opline, and in divergence to good procedure as well as being contrary to fundamental Christian teachings, in falling to grant to these members a new hearing by reopening the case when such was earnestly requested, thereby granting them a full, free and fair opportunity to answer the charges and make plain their position as Christian workers rather than promising consideration when the aggrieved had stated in detail reasons for the reopening, the Council feeling that it is not the province of the members to so state before the hearing of such details but rather feeling that it is the duty of the Church to take proper Christian steps to correct and reclaim its members, and in refusing to join in with the aggrieved in calling a mutual council for the proper adjudication of the case, the Church neglected its Christian duty as well as waved its Christian opportunity to exercise towards its members that Christian spirit, that spirit of love and care, justly due the humblest member of the dock, because of this the aggrieved were fully warranted in calling an Exparete Council to protect their personal rights. Fourth. In that view of the action of the Church, the Council recommends that those persons are exhonored from all charges and that any Missionary Baptist Church is free to receive them into its full membership. —Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D., chairman Findings Committee; Rev. C. E. Jones, D. D., Rev. C. T. Murray, B. D., Rev. M. C. Allon, B. D., Prof. R. C. Woods, A. M., D. D., Rev. C. E. Miller, D. D., secretary Findings Committee. Rev. T. J. King, D. D., chairman. Council. FULTON NOTES. We had an excellent gathering in our Sunday School last Sabbath, our pastor Rev. C. A. Cobbs urged upon us to start a B. Y. P. U. in our church. He had the promises of some of the officers of the school to help perfect such plans. 11:30 A. M. Rev. Cobbs preaches from the subject "Sowing and Reaping" The hearts of all the people present rejoiced in the Lord. We truly had a down pour of the Spirit of God. Men and women broke down in tears and shouted in the name of the Lord. We had a sinner in our midst and Rev. Cobbs labored on her to come over on the Lord side, but the Devil held her in his clutches, the Rev. decided not to forsake her and after going home from services, he called by the home of the young lady and prayed and talked with her, and she gave her heart to the Lord and went her way rejoicing. One person was restored back to the Church. The devotionals were in charge of Brother Jefferson. On the rostrum were: Rev. Young, Harry Jones of New York and Rev. R. E Stanton. The following are on the sick list at this writing: Mr. Jordan Barks dale, Luke Terry, Frank Hayes, Mrs. Ruth Fields and Elizabeth Johnson. 8:30 P. M. we listened to a strong Gospel sermon by the Rev. R. E. Saucon a man whom we have learned to love, an exceptional good preacher of the gospel, H_e preached from Daniel 2nd chapter and 44th, verse. Every person present was lifted up after hearing the Rev. Tomorrow 11:30 A. M. Rev. Cobbs will preach from the subject. "Hand Writing on the Wall." Live singing by the choir, led by Deacon Nathaniel Yates and assisted by Deacon Beverly Valentine. Saturday, December the 10th, at 2 P. M. the funeral services of the late Rev. P. C. Cobba, a member of the Mt. Calvary Baptist church, the father of our pastor and the founder of the Diamond Hill Baptist Church, Lynchhurs, Va., were held at the church. The Ministerial Union was represented in large numbers. $O_4$ the rostrum were: Dr. E. Payne, who had charge of the funeral and preached a wonderful funeral onusresi ru etaino sal weyf(,)尔eral discourse. We regret very much that Dr. Z. D. Lewis could not be present. Others who had a few words to say included Revs. O. B. Simms, Andrew Jackson, R. C. Williams and M. H. Payne. The opening hymn No. 642 was lined by Rev. A. D. Daily; scripture, Revelation 7th chapter, 9th to 17th verses were read by Rev. King; prayer by Rev. M. H. Payne. Letter from the family was read by Rev. Simms. The choir sang very beautiful under the guidance of the assistant leader, Mr. Beverly Valentine and Mrs. Cassie B. Lightner accompanist. Benediction by Rev. Fauntleroy of the 1st Baptist church. Deep in our hearts that aches with the repression. And strive with plentitude of bitter pain. There lives a thought that clamers for expression. But loses its undelivered force in vain. Sunday December the 11th, we had a Grand time at the Communion services at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church. RISING MT. ZION CHURCH Zion was in a continual spiritual up rear all of last Sunday. In the morning the congregation was electrified by a wonderful sermon coming from our pastor. While on Sunday afternoon (the communion service) the spirit of the Almighty seemed to have visited everyone present. Their was a rejoicing and praising as never before as His steadfast soldiers poured out praises to their Maker. We regret, however that the seating capacity is insufficient to accommodate the large numbers that are now coming out but plans are in operation for the enlargement of the present building to meet this demand. We desire to state further that the program for 1922 is now being prepared by the pastor and will be in readiness at a very early date. Their are quite a few sick among us and each of us should make it our indispensable duty to visit them and leave with them a bit of sunshine or word of cheer. At the regular business meeting of the Union Levell Baptist Church, December 12. 1921 Rev, S. L. Bush, B. D., of Washington, D. C., was called to the pastorate of the said church. He has filled the pulpit for them for about two weeks. His work so far has THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA L. J.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to fore be operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915.

I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly woll man in every respect.

Hayden of Remarkable Curse—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results. L. J. Hayden, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dropical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one hour, going from one right into another; her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued success, I am, with much gratitude, Yours truly, (Signed) J. WILSON, 417 W. Seventh St., Manchester, Va. L. J. Hayden; I wish to add to your testimonial that your medicine has cured me of Lumbago with the use of six bottles. I have suffered for three years and my family doctor told me that he could not do me any good. I began taking your medicine November 15, 1903, and I have not lost a day since with Lumbago. I can't praise your medicine too highly. Yours truly. W. H. MILLER, Highland Park, Richmond, Va. Mr. L. J. Hayden: Dear Sir, I have tried four bottles of your Blood Purifier for Rheumatism, and I feel that it has made a final cure of me. I know not how to thank you enough for that great relief. Enclosed please find money for one bottle of your Blood Purifier for a friend of mine. Please send it at once, and oblige. Yours truly, J. P. DEANS, Colerain, N. C.

W. E. Lee was a spiritual uplift to all who heard the Holy Spirit overshadowing the service. Numerous expressions of the visitation of the Spirit manifested throughout the serenity of the day well be called a high day in Zion. Madison Stanfield has accepted the agency for the Salvasona Remedies through Dr. D. W. Turner of Memphis, Tenn., and will receive his first order about Christmas. Rev. James S. Hatcher, B. D. of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday morning preached on "Samuel's Greatness and Failure." An arrow was driven home to the hearts of three young men and they came forward and accepted the Saviour. There were three conversions, four accessions and three baptisms. A most persuasive appeal was made in this discourse and also in the prayer by Brother James H. Hale who offered a very forwent-prayer for the unsavored in the audience who were drifting away from hope and Heaven. At night Rev. Hatcher used as his subject, "The Last Call," from Revolations 22nd chapter. It was a sound message full of instructions. The collection for the day was $110.64, for which all praise and thanks belong to God, who is the author of good and perfect gifts. The Bible Class meets every Friday evening. Dr. Hatcher of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church is teacher and instructor. The funeral services of Mr. Robert Bailey, of Greensboro, N. C. took place from the residence, 647 Lynchburg Avenue, N. E. He was born December 22, 1862, resided in Roanoke eleven years and died December 6th. He leaves to mourn their loss, four daughters, three sons and a host of relatives and friends. The culogy was delivered by Rev. W. W. Hicks, "The Mystic Hand of Death." Mrs. Sanders of 610 Sixth Avenue N. W., who has been quite ill, is reported much improved. T. C. Christmas while helping J. T. Thompson kill hogs fell on a butcher knife last Wednesday, inflicting a serious wound in his hand. It was learned that Dan Barkalea is now lying in Roanoke hospital as a result of falling off a Roanoke and Southern train last week. Mr. John Caldwell of Center Ave, has been quite indisposed for two weeks or more suffering with Rheumatism. Mrs. Carrie Stafford, who has been indisposed at her home on Norfolk Avenue is much improved. Mr. James Powell, of Tenth Avenue, who has been quite ill, is still indisposed at this writing. Dr. D. W. Turner, the traveling agent for the Salvasome Medicine Co. of Memphis, Tenn. called to see M. Stanfield and informed him of the wonderful success he has had since early Spring. He seems to be one of the old type like the writer back in the sixties. His claim on the curative quality of this wonderful medicine is very inductive, hence I shall have some of his remedies on hand during the holidays, according to agreement. Call and see me at 153 Wells Alley, N. W. Mrs. Lillian Jones, of Richmond, Va. is at the badside of her ill mother Mrs. Stewart, near the city Rev. C. E. Hodges of Wheeling, W.

The Stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Campbell, 167 High Street, N. W. and left a fine boy. Mother and baby are getting along nicely. Mr. Warner F. Hughes returned to Milton, N. C., where he visited his mother, who was ill. He left her much improved in health. He carried his gun along and returned with a 38 pound turkey, several rabbits, birds and other game. FINDINGS OF EX-PARTE COUNCIL Findings of the Exparte Council held at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Thursday, December 1, 1921, to consider grievances between the High Street Baptist Church and certain members of said Church, who constitute the Silver Leaf Workers of Roanoke City. Pursuant to the call of the member rs of sold workers, the following brother assembled at above named Church, Rev Dr. A. A. Galvin, Rev Dr. T. J. King, Prof. R. C. Woods, A. M. Rev. C. E. Jones, Rev M. C. Allen, B. D., Rev C. T. Murry, B. D., Rev Dr. M. L. Gordon, Rev Dr. A. L. James, Rev Dr. W. W. Hicks, Rev J. J. Jefferson, Rev William Gilbort, Rev Dr. C. E. Miller, Rev J. H. Robinson, Rev L. K. Jackson and Deacon R. B. Bailey, as an Expare Council, and after prayerful consideration of the facts as presented by the aggrieved parties and answer made by the pastor of High St Church, Rev W. E. Lee, B. D., his church clerk, A. D. Taylor, A. L. B. Robinson and Deacon Jones, the committee representing the Church, the Council submitted the following: First. The Council finds that the Church was not warranted in excluding these members, because we do not find that they had done anything contrary to a good Christian conscience, or the teachings of the Scriptures, or anything contrary to the practice of the Baptist Church. Second. That the Church was in error in proceeding to exclude these members before granting them opportunity to appear in person, and answer in their own defense of the charges against them, and that this step was hasty, unchristianlike and without Scriptural ground and warrant. Third. That in excluding these persons under one blanket motion, was in direct violation to proper dis- opline, and in divergence to good procedure as well as being contrary to fundamental Christian teachings, in failing to grant to these members a new hearing by reopening the case when such was earnestly requested, thereby granting them a full, free and fair opportunity to answer the charges and make plain their position as Christian workers rather than promising consideration when the aggrieved had stated in detail reasons for the reopening, the Council feeling that it is not the province of the members to so state before the hearing of such details but rather feeling that it is the duty of the Church to take proper Christian steps to correct and reclaim its members, and in refusing to join in with the aggrieved in calling a mutual council for the proper adjudication of the case, the Church neglected its Christian duty as well as waived its Christian opportunity to exercise towards its members that Christian spirit, that spirit of love and care, justly duo the humblest member of the fock, because of this the aggrieved were fully warranted in calling an Exparete Council to protect their personal rights. Fourth. That in view of the action of the Church, the Council recommends that those persons are exhonored from all charges and that any Missionary Baptist Church is free to receive them into its full membership. —Rov.

Cobbs urged us to start a B. Y. P. U. in our church. He had the promises of some of the officers of the school to help perfect such plans. 11:30 A. M. Rev. Cobbs preaches from the subject "Sowing and Reaping" The hearts of all the people present rejoiced in the Lord. We truly had a down pour of the Spirit of God. Men and women broke down in tears and shouted in the name of the Lord. We had a sinner in our midst and Rev. Cobbs labored on her to come over on the Lord side, but the Devil held her in his clutches, the Rev. decided not to forsake her and after going home from services, he called by the home of the young lady and prayed and talked with her, and she gave her heart to the Lord and went her way rejoicing. One person was restored back to the Church. The devotionals were in charge of Brother Jefferson. On the rostrum were: Rev. Young, Harry Jones of New York and Rev. R. E Stanton. The following are on the sick list at this writing: Mr. Jordan Barks dale, Luke Terry, Frank Hayes, Mrs. Ruth Fields and Elizabeth Johnson. 8:30 P. M. we listened to a strong Gospel sermon by the Rev. R. E. S. Santon a man whom we have learned to love, an exceptional good preacher of the gospel. He preached from Daniel 2nd chapter and 44th, verse. Every person present was lifted up after hearing the Rev. "Tomorrow 11:30 A. M. Rev. Cobbs will preach from the subject. 'Hand Writing on the Wall.' Live singing by the choir, led by Deacon Nathaniel Yace and assisted by Deacon Beverly Valentine. Saturday, December the 10th, at 2 P. M. the funeral services of the late Rev. P. C. Cobbs, a member of the Mt. Calvary Baptist church, the father of our pastor and the founder of the Diamond Hill Baptist Church, Lynchburg, Va., were held at the church. The Ministerial Union was represented in large numbers. $O_1$ the rochrum were: Dr. E. Payne, who had charge of the funeral and preached a wonderful funeral censure ru etainon sall wcy(.) Heral discourse. We regret very much that Dr. Z. D. Lewis could not be present. Others who had a few words to say included Revs. O. B. Simms, Andrew Jackson, R. C. Williams and M. H. Payne. The opening hymn No. 642 was lined by Rev. A. D. Daily; scripture, Revelation 7th chapter, 9th to 17th verses were read by Rev. King; prayer by Rev. M. H. Payne. Letter from the family was read by Rev. Simms. The choir sang very beautiful under the guidance of the assistant leader, Mr. Beverly Valentine and Mrs. Cassie B. Lightner accompanist. Benediction by Rev. Fauntleroy of the 1st Baptist church. Deep in our hearts that aches with the repression. And strive with plentitude of bitter pain. There lives a thought that clamers for expression. But loses its undelivered force in vain Sunday December the 11th, we had a Grand time at the Communion services at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church. RISING MT. ZION CHURCH Zion was in a continual spiritual up rear all of last Sunday. In the morning the congregation was electrified by a wonderful sermon coming from our pastor. While on Sunday afternoon (the communion service) the spirit of the Almighty seemed to have visited everyone present. Their was a rejoicing and praising as never before as His steadfast soldiers poured out praises to their Maker. We regret, however that the seating capacity is insufficient to accommodate the large numbers that are now coming out but plans are in operation for the enlargement of the present building to meet this demand. We desire to state further that the program for 1922 is now being prepared by the pastor and will be in readiness at a very early date. Their are quite a few sick among us and each of us should make it our indispensable duty to visit, them and leave with them a bit of sunshine or word of cheer. At the regular business meeting of the Union Levell Baptist Church, December 12. 1921 Rev. S. L. Bush, B. D., of Washington, D. G., was called to the pastorate of the sald church. He has filled the pulpit for them for about four weeks. His work so far has THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA L. J.

Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with drospical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one hour, going from one right into another; her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L, J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout.
