WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET UNITA Side Library RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE COMMERCIAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY SELECTS NEW PRESIDENT ```markdown ``` The Board of Directors of The Commercial Bank and Trust Company at a regular meeting held on Thursday, February 9, 1922 elected James T. Carter, a leading attorney of the city, and President and General Counsel of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia. Incorporated, President of the bank to fill the unexpired term of T. C. Erwin, the former President, who resigned on account of ill health. The new President of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company enjoys an enviable reputation throughout the State and nation as an eminent lawyer, an efficient and progressive business man and as a gentleman of culture, character and vision. His experience with big business enterprises as President of the Southern Aid Society and Grand Treasurer of the L. B. P. O. of Elks of the World, has demonstrated his capacity for big tasks and the manner in which he has administered the affairs of the high and responsible office he holds attests his honor integrity and ability. At the same meeting the office of Chairman of the Executive Committee was created and Mr. B. L. Jordan was unanimously elected to fill the same. The position is a very important one as the Chairman of the Executive Committee will be associated with the President in the direction of the bank's policies and affairs. Mr. Jordan is well known in the business world having been engaged in various lines of business for more than a quarter of a century. His most outstanding achievement, however, is his record with the Southern Aid Society of Virginia of which he is Secretary-Manager. Mr. Jordan has been associated with the Southern Aid Society since its organization and it is conceived by a staff in a position to know the facts that the present remarkable and unparalleled success of the Society is due to his efficient management, his abiding faith in the possibilities of the business, his breadth of vision, his resourcefulness and his ability to its every interest. The action of the Board of Directors and the acquisition to the bank of the ability, experience and integrity these new officers will bring to signmark a new era in the career of the institution and guarantee it a place in the front ranks of financial institutions among Negroes in America. --- AN APPREPTATION OF REV. DR. R. V. PEYTON. Rev. R. V. Peyton, D. D., having been called of God to preach the Gospel, and secondly, called as pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church in 1902, this is the confidence we have in him. He has proved himself a pastor since he has been here. The eyes of the people of Richmond have watched him. They listen to him very attentively as he explains the Word of God to them. Whereas, our beloved pastor is beginning his twentieth year as pastor of Gio Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, and as part of the church feels moved to make due notice acknowledgment of the blessings which his ministry has brought us and our Church and to the apistist cause throughout the Southland, and. Whereas, I desire to express on its occasion, my precondition of his ing and nurturing service and to call the attention of our entire membership and congregation our good time in having as our pastor, an so generously remembered as an outstanding leader, wepected and loved by all who come under his influence, and.

I recognize that the growth and influence our church has enjoyed thru- his period and its present posi- tion have been due mainly to either of preaching of the to his peerless leadership in ministry, to his untiring and stand on all moral issues his fine Christian character, known to all of us. Here and now renew our to him of our love, affection, ce, respect and loyalty. DEACON J. W. MOSLEY. COMMERCIAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY [Name] JAMEST T. CARTER, Esq., President. REGISTER OF THE TREASURY (Chiango Defender.) President Harding has at last announced the appointment of Register of the Treasury. The man selected is an obscure white man said to be from Marietta, Ohio. We doubt very much if he's known outside of the county in which he lives. But he is a white man Upon the retirement of Hon. B. K. Bruce from the United States Senate in 1881 he was appointed Register of the Treasury by President Garfield, Every Republican President since that time—including Taft—has appointed a member of our group to that position except President Harrison. When Mr. Harrison was inaugurated he found Gen. W. S. Rescrans—an appointee of Cleveland—in that position, and he was permitted to remain. But we were given other positions equally as dignified, important and iterative. Prior to the election of Mr. Taft we uniformly voted for the Republican candidate for President, because previous Republican administrations justified us in the belief that we would get appropriate and satisfactory recognition, officially and otherwise, under any Republican administration. Mr. Taft's administration destroyed that faith. When Mr. Harding was now bound we found nothing in his career upon which to lose our faith that we would not have in him a repetition of Taft. This brings us to the case of Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo, Ohio his relations with Candidate Harding were cordial and intimate. He was put forth as the spokesman, and the medium through whom members of our group were to receive satisfaction. All circumstances that Candidate Harding was sound to the core all questions vital to us. His Relations with Candidate Harding were so intimate that he was affectionately referred to as "Charlie." When he was written to he was doubtless addressed as "Dear Charlie." But "Dear Charlie" has evidently discovered that Candidate Harding and President Harding are two separate and distinct persons. It was thought by many of Mr. Cottrell's friends that he was to be heirder of the Treasury—and he fully deserved thus or something better. But some of the white clerks in that bureau protested against the appointment of any Colored man as head thereof. These clerks represent a propaganda which the President evidently is disinclined to antagonise. It seems to be clear that under this Administration, racial discrimination RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 prescription and official segregation are to be recognized, sanctioned and enforced. It matters not what qualifications one of our group may have, his Racial identity is to be a bar to his official recognition. Fortunately for us and for the country, some of the President's Cabinet ministers are not only able but fair and just men and are disposed to appropriately recognize worthy and meritorious members of our group. In this way several have secured very good subordinate positions at the hands of Cabinet ministers. So far as the chief executive is concerned we need not expect any recognition. R. O. T. C. AT WILBERFORCE Word has been received by President J. A. Gregg of Wilberforce University from the Adjunct General's Office that Senior and junior divisions of the Officers Training Corps are to be established at the University beginning with the next school year. On assuming the presidency of Wilberforce, Dr. Gregg found that these divisions had been discontinued, although the Military Department, established in 1893 is still active with Major J. E. Green, U. S. A. in command assisted by Sergeants Andrews and Button, both of the Regular Army. Dr. Gregg began at once to plan for the re-establishment of the R. O. T. C. and at first was told by the War Department that it was impracticable. He then got in touch with President Harding and the Senators and representatives from Ohio who lent their influence to the end, that the following letter was received last week: January 14, 1922. January 14, 1922. From: The Adjutant General of the Army. To: The Commanding General, Fifth Corps Area, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, to the President, Witherforce University, Witherforce Ohio. Subject: Application from Witherforce University for authority to establish an N.O. T.C. Unit. Authority is given for the establishment of an Infantry Unit senior division $i_4$ the college of Witherforce University, and for a junior unit in the preparatory department of the University which, as to enrollment, will be governed by the regulations appying to institutions enumerated in paragraph 8 (c) of S.R. No. 44, Part 1, Reserve Officers' Training Corps. The establishment of these units [Name] B. L. JORDAN, Chairman, Ex. Committee will take effect at the beginning of the next academic year. By Order of the See, of War: C. H. DANIELSIN, Adjutant General., (Received Jan. 16, 1922.) Hq. 5th Corps Area. This will mean much to the young men who tend Wilberforce next year, as the War Department furnishes uniforms and accoutrements besides the other emoluments which go along with the R. O. T. C. The young men of the University have received the news with enthusiasm and it will mean much to others who have been hoping to attend college but have not seen their way clear to doing so on account of the expense. BURNED TO DEATH. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Chiles, of King William County, Va., had the misfortune to lose by fire, one of their twin children, Odessa, two years and seven months old. It caught fire from the heater in the dining room. The mother had just gone to the well, fifteen feet from the house, when she heard the noise. She rushed back and found the child in a light blaze. The accident occurred at about 15 minutes to 12 o'clock and the child died at 11 o'clock the night of Friday, January 29th. The suffering child said, "The fire is all gone now, manna, and I am going to die." She then expired. Mrs. Chiles is a niece of Mrs. Emma D. Turnstall. COACH OF LINCOLN HONORED John A. Sheilburn, coach of football team at Lincoln, was recently guest of honor at an informal dinner given by the Lincoln Alumni at the home of Dr. Geo E. Cannon, 354 Pacific avenue Jersey City. Motion pictures of the game at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day were shown by Rev. Dr. W. S. Smith, director of the Douglas Film Company. Plans were discussed for the welfare of the team for the next season. It is likely that Sheilburn will return to Lincoln very shortly to coach the track team as well as to give foot ball team spring practice. As Lincoln will not lose very many of her man who played in the game last year, the prospects for a good team next year are exceptionally bright.

Hundreds of persons who assembled in Oak-wood cemetery Thursday afternoon to attend the last rites on the body of Sheriff Camm M. Thomas, victim of the Lexington fire. Richmond; stood amazed, following the Masonic cree monies, when six white-robed members of the Ku Klux Klan suddenly appeared. The Klansmen scaled a high rock wall and forming in the figure of a cross marched to the newly-made grave bearing a large cross of red flowers. After placing the wreath on the grave, the gave the sign of the cross, retraced their steps, leaped over the wall and entered a closed automobile, which had been stripped of license number.

Despite the inclement weather, a well attended meeting of the stockholders of the Mechanics Savings Bank was held at the Pythian Castle 727 North Third Street last Tuesday night, 14th inst. at 9 P. M. President John Mitchell, Jr. called the meeting to order. Prayer was offered by Deacon Armistead Washington. Secretary J. M. G. Ramsey called the roll of stockholders, after which Cashier Albert V. Norrell, Jr. read a most satisfactory report, giving detailed information concerning the operation of the bank during the past year. He told of the remarkable manner in which the bank's deposits had held up despite the fact that many people being out of work had caused these same depositors to sparingly use their savings. The surprising part was the energy and determination of the colored people to save. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS The Christmas Savings Club for 1922 showed an unprecedented membership with steadily increasing deposits in this department. At the conclusion of his report, Vice-President Albert A. Tennant was called to the chair and President Mitchell made his annual report. The commented upon existing conditions and urged the stockholders not only to speak well of their institution, but to do all in their power to increase the deposits as money was made on deposits and the money made determined the profits and the dividend to the stockholders. He told of his trip to the American Bankers' Association and spoke of the pride of all Virginians in the fact that a Virginian, in the person of Mr. Thomas R. McAdams had been elected President of this trust institution, the American Bankers' Association, which Association accorded to the report of the Secretary represented thirty-five thousand million dollars worth of assets. 842 000 00 INCREASE He called attention to the fact that Col. James R. Branch, who was then connected with the Merchant National Bank, of which Mr. McAdams was now Vice-President was responsible for his entrance into the American Bankers' Association as a full dugged member. He reported that the Broad Street store owned by the Mechanics Savings Bank, and which store the bank had purchased many years ago for $17,750.00 was sold during the past year for $60,000.00 which was $42,000.00 more than the bank had paid for the property. At the conclusion of the report, the following directors were elected upon motion of Mrs. L. E. C. Scott: John Mitchell, Jr., Albert A. Tennant J. M. G. Ramsey, John T. Taylor, R. W. Whiting, D. J. Farrar and D. P. Bragg. The meeting then adjourned. AN EVANGELIST OF THE FIRST MAGNITUDE. Atlantic City, N. J., Union Baptist Church, P. J. Gregory, Pastor — We have been in the midst of our annual revival three weeks, and had with us the world's national and international angelicals, Dr. W. H, Skipwith. Although at this writing our brother has been done one week the spiritual tido is still running high, so much as, until at our service last Sunday night when I was ready to deliver the message, a tidal wave of religious enthusiasm swept over our congregation. Lifting men and women off their feet. Cries of "Thank God" could be heard, sinners were converted, while others could be heard saying, "Save me, Lord." All of this is an index to the present power and far-reaching influence of Dr. Skipwith as a preacher, singer, and revivalist. We have baptized sixty-five, given the hand of fellowship to one hundred and thirty more, are waiting to be received. No one is held in a higher esteem in Atlantic City than Brother Skipwith. Every year when he comes a special sermon is requested to be delivered to the hotel fraternity. This was once his home, for years as a hotel man and chorister of Second Baptist Church. He is a preacher, singer and ready thinker. He doesn't seek to excite you with a noise and a barrage, but deep thoughts, and yet simple. The spirit and enthusiasm remains as he goes, for we are now singing his songs. Brethren, there is none like him. He is now in Amber, Pa. in another great meeting. He preached to the Ministers Conference of Philadelphia and vicinity last Monday and lifted us heavenward. J. G. Mr. B. J. Cunningham, of the Southside, is convalescing in St. Philips Hospital, after a successful operation. PRICE, FIVE CENTS FULTON NOTES The Revival services, which are being conducted under the auspices of the Rising Mt. Zion and Mt. Calvary Baptist Churches has been of great inspiration to both saints and sinners up to this writing. Over 86 converts. These services are in charge of Rev. O. S. Simmus of Pittsburgh, Pa., Rev. Joseph Brown and Rev. W. E. Brown and other servants of the Lord. The Sunday School of Mt. Calvary is prospering. Last Sunday our pastor took part of the time extending an invitation to the unsaved. The funeral services of Sister Mary Jeter Winston were held at the church Sunday morning, our pastor preaching the sermon. She resided in Philadelphia and became a watch care member of the Sharon Baptist Church while there. She leaves to mourn their loss, a husband, three brothers and other relatives and friends. Two beautiful solos were rendered by Deacon Valentine and Mrs. Elizabeth Cobbs. Sunday morning our pastor's subject will be "Hell." Let us come out and pack the house. Rev. W. L. Tuck is improving greatly. There will be a lecture at his church, Bermuda Hundreds, on February 26 by Rev. C. A. Cobbs Subject, "Looking For A Man." The admission is 15 cents or two for 25 cents. If you want to join a good order, give us your application for the Fulton Council. No 117, Supreme 4 O. St. Luke, G. W. Coleman, W. C. RISING MT. ZION NOTES Zion was in a spiritual uprising at last week. Through the magnetic preaching of the Rev. O. S. Simmons and untiring service of his children, nearly one hundred souls have accepted Christ. This section of the city has never before witnessed such a spiritual upheaval. Having the glorious opportunity to listen to one of the greatest evangelists of the time, who each night pours forth such eloquent, glorious and impressive sermons that strong men have been forced to leave their souls, beating and shooting and writhing God. The Christians, too, are manifesting untiring service and overzealousness by each packing the church and doing their bit toward winning souls for Christ. Sunday night with the Mt. Calvary Church packed to its utmost capacity last week's service was brought to a fitting climax when the Rev. O. S. Simmons took for his theme, "The Great Judgment." It was the unanimous opinion of those present that never before had they listened to a more powerful sermon. Men and women were forced to give utterance to their feelings as this man of God, wrapped in the Spirit, seeming oblivious of his surroundings told of that eventful day. Last week was indeed a record breaking week, but it is the earnest desire of all that this week may be even greater than last. "Accept ye the Lord while He may be found." 10,000 PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS IN CHICAGO Chicago. Feb. 9—Chicago is the home of about 10,000 professional criminals or about one third of 1 per cent of the city's population, according to estimates of the Chicago Crime Commission made public today. The ross on for such an unprecedented number of lawbreakers here is ascribed by the crime experts to the slowness with which the wheels of justice are set in motion and the small number of convictions. --- MEMORIAL ON ANTI-LYNCUBIC TO GO TO U. S. SENATE The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today announced that a meeting would be held in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening at March 1 at which Representative Lecaliss C. Dyer of Missouri would speak. Mr. Dyer sponsored the Dyer Auti Lynchings Bill which was passed on January 26 by a vote of 220 to 119 in the House of Representatives. At the mass meeting a memorial will be adopted and sent to the United States Senate meeting immediate possession of the Dyer Bill which is now in the hands of the Senate Committee on the Indictment. The Dyer Bill defines a mob as three or more persons acting in concert to deprive any person of life without authority of law, as punishment for some crime or to prevent commission of a supposed or actual public offense. It fines the county in which a Lynching takes place $10,000 and makes participants in Lynchings liable to trial for felony. ```markdown ``` Miss Meeting I. O. King David. A.

Sickness is for us all, but some of us have more than our share of it. People, who talk about heaven most seldom want to leave this earth to go there. Some people like to go to their own home, only when they cannot go any where else. You cannot achieve success by chance. It calls for hard work and a plenty of it. Slovenly people look that way, no matter how much they may pay for their wearing apparel. Some southern white folks know the colored folks weaknesses and they take advantage of it. Colored folks, as a rule are "long" on demands, but "short" on money to back up those demands. Jealous people tend to make them selvos miserable and they upset those people, who are around them. People, who are having a hard time should remember that there are other people, who are having a harder time. Read the Planet regularly and you will get the reading habit and be pleased with information concerning your own people. Generally speaking young men are fools and they do not know it. Generally speaking old men are fools and they do not know it either. --- Some people like to lounge around and some others like to work. Industrious people acquire the habit. Lazy people come by it naturally. Some parents were not raised properly themselves. They necessarily have a hard job raising their children in the proper manner. Many people, who believe in hell do not strive hard not to go there. Many people, who believe in Heaven do not exert themselves over-much to go there either. Girls with husbands as a rule are more dissatisfied than girls without husbands. But then there are some people, who are not satisfied with any thing or with anybody. Too many husbands are dissatisfied with their own wives and too many wives are eternally displeased with their own husbands. It is a case of being mismated. Most married people though, grin and endure it. --- Save money and buy yourself a home. You can do it by making an effort and denying yourself and family many of the necessities of life. If you cannot make up your mind to do this, do not try. You will be sure to fail. --- Win the approval and support of the white folks in your community by every known method, except that of sacrificing your own self-respect. Maintain your manhood but win the good opinion of all these around you. Some colored folks are inherently jealous. They disliko to see their own people succeed and they will endeavor studiously to break down every movement, in which they are not interested and which does not furnish to them a source of revenue. People, who struggle to the top and climb up the same way have a hard time of it. They are maligned and misrepresented. People, who roll at the bottom are not bothered by anybody and little notice is taken of anything, which they do. --- Some people expect to get rich by chance. They are constantly waiting for their ship to come in. As a rule, they either die in the poor-house or they die outside of it with some one drawing insurance money and paying out enough on their dead bodies to keep them out of Potter's Field. --- The white folks are now discovering that there is slavery in Abyssinia, where the black people control. They are oblivious of the fact that there is slavery in the Philippines where the United States controls, although stern measures have been taken to stamp out the injustice. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker has our sympathy in the loss of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, who departed this life Sunday February 12, 1922 at her residence, 110 E. Leigh street. She has the satisfaction of knowing that she was a devoted child to her parent and that "she hath dnew what she could." --- As the legislature of Virginia is now in session and as it passed a resolution instructing its representatives in Congress to vote against the Dyer-Antilynching Bill and as every effort has been made in this State to check the lynching evil and Virginia shows a fine record in this respect, we would suggest that the legislature, which evidently took this action on account of State's Rights proceed to enact into law, the Smith Anti-lynching Bill now in operation in the State of Ohio. The opponents to the Dyer Antl Lynching Bill are now gloomily opposing that it will never pass the United States Sexate. They are relying upon the combined Democratic opposition to the measure to encompass its final defeat. We do not see why this should be so. The white South has significantly announced its abhorrence of lynch-law and Democratic Governors have from time to time proven that they mean what they say by ordering out State troops to protect white and colored men charged with crime and threatened with summary execution by the mob. This bill is intended to strengthen the arm of the law. No one who voted for the prohibition amendment to the Constitution or who advocated Woman Suffrage by amendment to this same instrument should for a moment hesitate to support this Dyer Anti-lynching Bill on account of States' Rights scruples. We hope to see the measure enacted into law and we hope to have the pleasure of knowing that President Harding has signed it. FIGHT FAIRLY. We are frank to say that we do not approve of the methods now being resorted to by his opponents and enemies to over throw the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the official head of the Universal Improvement Association. In the effort to destroy and discredit him and his organization, the aid of the Department of Justice at Washington has been invoked and a charge of using the United States mails to defraud trumped up. The very charge itself is ridiculous, when the organization of which he is official head is an incorporated body doing a lawful business. It is within the province of the Post Office Department to deny to the concern the use of the malls, but to single out its chief officer for prosecution and persecution seems to us to be ridiculous in view of the fact that this department is evidently under a different head and the chief officer only indirectly responsible. Certainly, his Board and the organization itself would be just as liable to prosecution. We say this without prejudice to those who are launching this attack and who are circulating damaging documents with the intent of creating an idea of guilt, before the accused has even been arranged in a court of law. For our part, we like fair-play and we do not see any in this systematic attacking engineered by Garvey's enemies. It has always been a rule of law, that where spite, personal enmity and proven jealousy formed the basis of an attack upon the citizen, the case was thrown out upon the theory that the accuser or accusers must come into court with clean hands. Criticising the Hon. Marcus Garvey and disagreeing with him and his policies is one thing and persecuting him and maliciously miss THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA representing Alm is quite another. Garvov's plea in the last issue of the Negro World is scholarly, logical and convincing. He may fail, he may be dethroned, but the principles for which he is contending will live on. There are thousands of us, who do not affiliate with this organization and who do not see our way clear to take a part in the "Back to Africa Movement," but this should not cause us to unduly exert ourselves to save money for other people, who do not share in our views and who are entitled to decide just how they will spend their own money. There are patroltic citizens of color, who believe in America first as against the Garvey movement, which has for its motto: "Africa first." Certain it is the vials of persecution now being emptied upon Marcus Garvey's head will ultimately make a martyr of him and redound to the benefit of him and his cause. This prosecution upon the charge of using the United States mails to defraud may deceive the thoughtless, but to us, it seems to be 'a blow below the belt' and should not be tolerated by right-thinking citizens anywhere. Fight Garvey and his organization if you will, but as a disinterested onlooker, we advise and insist that his opponents "play fair." EDITOR DAVIS' CORRECTION The able Editor Benjamin J. Davis of the Atlanta, Ga., Independent, under the caption of "Editor Mitchell in Error" says: In the following editorial excerpt, Brother Mitchell in the Richmond Planet stresses the point that an open break between Editor Davis and National Committeeman Johnson has come which indicates a split. In the regular republican organization in the state. The facts do not warrant Brother Mitchell's position. He then reproduces our editorial comment on his previous editorial article, entitled "Henry Lincoln Johnson Disfranchised." He says in commenting thereon: In our issue of January 26th, under the caption "HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON DISFRACHISED, we submitted that the shameful and humiliating position of our National Committeeman was due to one of two causes and that the responsibility for the distranchion of Georgia's National Committee man ought to be fixed and the guilty party held to a strict accountability. We do not now recode one iota from our Gibraltar. We said then and repeat now that Mr. Johnson's disfranchisement was the result of cowardly quiescence on his part for a job for himself at the expense of the manhood rights of his entire group, or it was chargeable to the anti-Negro policy adopted by the Harding administration, in violation of every campaign promise made by Candidate Harding. We shall adhere to and repeat our position and put it up to Mr. Johnson, or the President or both of them, to answer. We also now submit that if Mr. Johnson's mouth is not now sealed and has been sealed all along with the hope of personal reward for himself, as a matter of common honesty and everyday manliness, he owes it to himself as a public servant to make an explanation proteging against his own disfranchisement and humiliation. This is strong, emphatic language and it indicates that Editor Davis and those whom he represents are angry "clean through." ... passing, we pause to remark that they have every reason so to be He continues: In his humiliation, the entire race is outlawed and denied its political rights. If only Mr. Johnson were concerned, we would not be troubled; but the ruthless disfranchisement and ignoring of him as a member of the National Committee is a brutal denial of the political rights of thirteen million American citizens. Mr. Johnson has not and does not now protest against his humiliation. He submits to, acquiesces in and consents to the death of us all for a political meal for himself. As we have been advised, Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson has protested against the treatment accorded to him and his followers and is even now writhing under his forced inaction in the promises. He must live and must still have some means of maintaining himself financially. Are the organization at home and the people abroad supporting him? If they are, then they are entitled to such service as they may demand. From our personal conversation with this astute politician and statesman, we are of the opinic that he is just as much disgusted over prevailing conditions as his distinguished Georgia friend seems to be. Editor Davis says: You are wrong, Brother Mitchell. There is no split in the organization, except that Mr. Johnson has adopted for himself the policy of sitting in humiliation at the feet of the lily whites and undertaking to stand at the same time at the head of the column of thirteen million Negro citizens as their political leader. He has adopted the policy of running with the lily whites and holding with the organization of which he is leader. The organization in the state is solidly against his policy of vaccination and surrender, and there is no personal break between the Editor and Mr. Johnson. It is not that we love the Colonel less, but that we love the rights of our group more than we do the personal ambition of any one individual. It is a question of principle with us that in volvo the entire race's political status for all time to come. We are thinking in terms of a thousand years and not of a political meal for one man. We love Mr. Johnson and will serve him personally whenever we can, but we cannot subscribe to his political leader ship; we cannot adopt nor follow his policies; we believe in no surrender of our rights to any man or set of men. The rights of all first and jobs for the individuals last. "The above argument is "sound to the core." As we understand it, disagreement with Henry Lincoln Johnson's manner and methods constitutes no split in the regular Republican organization in Georgia. To this extent, we stand corrected. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson is veritably "between the devil and the deep blue sea." If he obeys the President of the United States, lose, the support of his veteran organization in Georgia. If he fails to support him he must wander about for nearly three years awaiting again the meeting of the National Republican Convention, which Party will be placed in the attitude of remediating its own action and supporting its present chosen leader's policy or in sustaining its own action and insisting upon an "about face" policy in dealing with the Republican organization in Georgia. Editor Davis concludes: Mr. Johnson is a public servant and directly accountable to the republicans of Georgia; and if the President has not treated him right—and the country knows it—it is his business to report to us and let us fight his battle, and not acquiesce in or surrender the rights of all of us for peace with an administration that has violated every promise it made when bidding for votes. This is plain speaking. It puts the question squarely up to one of the ablest colored statesmen in this country. What will he do about it? Can Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson go home and face the hurricane which is about to sweep Georgia from one end of the State to the other? We shall wait and see. As we said before Georgia presents a problem, unlike any other southern State. What might go in Louisiana, Alabama and even in Virginia would not be applicable there. The regular Republican organization is in the hands of the anti-Lily Whites. With the stamp of approval up on Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson as National Republican Committeeman, there is no legal power that can take away that stamp affixed by the regular National Republican Convention at Chicago. It would seem then that the distinguished Georgian now in Washington holds the key to the situation, if he can "hold out and prove faithful to the end." But it takes money (to hold out, Who will furnish the money? Will the protesting organization in Georgia do it. Will the thirteen millions of colored people of the United States heed the cry of distress? This is the all-absorbing question and we are of the opinion that it demands an answer right now. From a stand-point of ethics sound reasoning and justice, the reasoning of Editor Benjamin Davis is as true "as the needle to the pole." $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Ashland, Va., March 23 1921.

Harris, who was a member of Eye View Lodge No. 54 of Stonega, Va. [Portrait of a military officer in uniform]. Ranking Colored Officer in U. S. Army, Succumbs to Fever on Outposts of Republic of Liberia, West Africa. CHARLES YOUNG, COLONEL The tidlings just relayed from the Liberian boundary of the passing of Charles Young deeply stirs the emotions. For there was but one Charles Young, and there was no regular army colonel like him. Upon his shoulder-straps the colonel's eagle bore an especial significance—he had soared to win it and none other of his kind had ever achieved it. For this man's skin was black. He was of a race despised, an American with the bar stained stammer upon him. He was of those of our countrymen, for whom, so some would have it, there is ordained only tillage, serfdom the ranks, and the private's uniform, but never the officer's. Distinction and leadership are not to be the theirs; good enough they are to be thrown into the moulestom of a world war by the hundred thousand, but not good enough to lead others or themselves. Was there not a Congressman in Washington once who said of our Union that it "is not worth a curse as long as a distinction exists between Negroes and horses?" Yet here was this man Charles Young who truly recognized such a distinction. When but a lad he dared to enter the portals of a West Point dedicated to the military caste and the white. For five long years he endured ostracism and insult, but would not be denied. Where others had failed he persevered and triumphed. There was a German general about that time, when it was still fashionable to regard the Prussians as the ablest sons of Mars, who visited West Point. "What was it," he was asked, "that you liked best there?" "The best thing I saw was a black cadet in charge of a section of artillery; that is a soldier." And so Charles Young went forth a lieutenant to rise by steady steps in the two cavalry regiments or the blacks. He knew how to avoid the pitfalls laid for him; he understood perfectly that for him there must be a special code of uprightness and of duty. For him would be fatal the slip that meant glossing laughter for one of a lighter skin. So he bore himself blamelessly and looked daily in the eyes of all men without shame, without fear, and with a great pride. He had God-given tact; he knew how not to offend and yet how to keep a complete self-respect. He intruded nowhere, yet he asked all the rights of his uniform and so compelled the respect of his associates that, he it set down to the credit of the army, he obtained the justice which alone he asked. So it came to pass that years after he had had his baptism of fire he commanded a battalion of his regiment in the field in Texas where black men were once slaves, and there he messed for months with his subordinate officers, every one of whom was white. It was social equality, if you please, that drenched spurge to offset which men are burned and hanged each year under the Stars and Stripes. But nothing happened in this organization; there was no friction, no quarrel and no cataclysm. The heavens above did not fall; neither did any inspector-general report aught but what was good and soldierly of this battalion. Perhaps it was because of this, perhaps because it was known that of all the smaller volunteer bodies of the Spanish War there was none better than Charles Young's Ninth Ohio Separate Battalion (with which no white man served) that when Charles Young was Heutenant-colonel and our flag went into Mexico in 1916 he led his entire regular regiment after its colonel was disabled. It was John J. Pershing who commanded that column sent, fruitlessly, to capture Villa, "dead or alive," and throughout it was Pershing who kept Charles Young at the head of the Tenth Cavalry when it would have been easy to put a white colonel over the black Heutenant-colonel's head. Alas, the justice of the service ended there—without question because Woodrow Wilson, the Southerner, was President. Soon there were military medical men found who discovered in Charles' Young a disease no civilian doctor could ever detect. Just when the opportunity to show what a colored commander 'could do when the greatest 'of wars was at hand 'came for Charles Young the retired list with the full rank of colonel as an undesired sop. Activity was his, yes, but it would not to do to let this man show again what he could be in the field. Idleness his spirit could not brook; this "disabled" man was ready for service any where. To Liberia, where he had already commanded the frontier guard, he went once more, and there in the jungle on a dangerous reconnaissance the jungle-fever claimed him. "Soouer or later," he had said in speaking of it "it, gets you." So died one who being a Negro yet distinguishes between himself and a horse and smashed to smithereens, as have the colored generals in the French army, the absurdity that Negroes can follow only if whites lead It was the black Toussaint L'Ouverture and his blacks who successively defeated the veterans of France, of Spain and of England on the fields of Halti. There was the stuff of L'Ouverture in Charles Young, in the flash of his eye and the lift of his head. (The Nation.) $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Norfolk, Va., April 14, 1921.

MILLER Least Photo POTR CRITICISES SENDING GENERAI RUSSEL TO HAITI James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today made public a statement sharply criticising the Administration for sending Brigadier General John H. Russell to "clear up the situation" in Haiti. "The appointment of Brigadier General Russell to make a report on conditions on Haiti and clear up the situation, there does not presage any reform of the conduct of Haitian affairs. A commander of the Marine Corps, no matter how able and well qualified for the post, is part of the organization against which complaint has been made and under whose rule in Haiti the worst excesses occurred. "If the Washington Administration had the best interest of the Haitians and improved relations between Haiti and the United States at heart, it seems a high class civilian would have been appointed who was not, in virtue of his position, a defendant in the press contentions and charges." --- DR. ALEXANDER BEGINS SECOND YEAR IN N. J. LEGISLATURE With the opening of the annual session of the New Jersey Legislature Dr. W. G. Alexander, first member of the race to be elected as a representative of that body, started upon his second term. He was given some very important committee assignments. He was made Chairman of the Committee on Bill Revision and Chairman of the Committee on Industrial School for Colored Youths, Bordentown. He is also a member of the Committee on Social Welfare, the Committee on Public Health and the Committee on State Village for Epileptics. The Atlantic City Hotel Men's Association gave a dinner for the Governor and the members of the Legislature at the Hotel Traymore, Atlantic City last week. For this occasion Dr. Alexander was a house guest of State Senator Charles D. White, the Majority Leader of the Senate and proprietor of the Marlborough Blen-Hoim, Atlantic City's largest hotel. TURNED DOWN BIG OFFER: Chicago, Feb. 9.—Telling how he had turned down an offer of $1,000 to become a professional while attending Yale on $1.16 a week, Alonzo A. Stagg University of Chicago athletic director in an address today blamed betting for the inroad of professionalism in college athletics, and declared that these inroads were the most demoralizing things $h_1$ the world to clean sports. BETTING DEMORALIZES "Nothing is more demoralizing than the feeling 'how much is in it for me'." Mr. Stagg said in addressing a city club luncheon. "There is a fundamental al difference between the professional and the amateur, and that difference starts at an early age. The athletic impulse starts in childhood and the stimulus changes as the boy grows older to that of emulation, of being a real part in a social group as he grows still older he becomes a part of more organized groups, and college athletics is one of these developments. "At that time competition becomes keener and the group impulse becomes stronger. Then, as his skill develops there is a possibility that it may become capitalized. It is in that case, where competition becomes keen, that betting begins. FIRST STEP TOWARD PROFESSIONALISM "This betting is his first stop toward professionalism. He finally is induced to become a professional and generally the inducement is the result of some betting plan. "The temptation is strong, but, the American youth should be stronger. I know some of the boys need money, but the true American lad does not stoop to sneaking violation of his college's regulations to obtain money. When I was in college I lived on $1.16 a week. Breakfast and lunch cost me 5 cents. I know it costs more to live row, but I knew that most of my classmates spent many times what I did. Still, I was able to turn down without a regret an offer of $1,000 to pitch for a professional baseball team for three months. I lived in an attic and had to keep my expenses at a minimum or quit school." Petersburg, Va., Feb. 9.—The trial of James Patterson alias Ross Patterson colored, indicted a few days ago by a special grand jury for the alleged shooting and killing of Irvin Sied, a merchant doing business on St. Matthias street several nights ago is set for trial in the Hustings Court tomorrow. A number of Hebrew citizens, friends of the murdered man, have been ployed R. H. Man_n of this city to assist in the prosecution of the accused. The murder occurred on a Saturday night, within a block of Sied's home on Harding street while he was returning home from his store, accompanied by his wife. He was ordered to "hold up" his hands and failing to do so promptly he was shot with buckshot in the abdomen by his assailant. He was rushed to the Petersburg Hospital, where he died of his wounds the following morning at 5 o'clock. Immediately after being indicted Patterson was brought from his cell in the city jail into the court-room and arraigned. On arrangement he pleaded "not guilty." Today was then set as the date for his trial. DANGER OF HARRISON LOSING HIS SEAT. REAL John Paul's Contest in Seventh Congressional District Heard in Washington—Republicans Jubilant. (By George H. Manning.) Washington Feb. 11.—There appears to be real danger that Congressman Thomas W. Harrison of Winchester, may lose his seat in the house as representative of the Seventh Virginia district to John Paul, Republican, of Harrisonburg who is contesting his election. Arguments for Harrison and Paul in the election contest were heard by the house committee on elections No. 1, Tuesday and Wednesday. From the presentation of the facts in the case, the way it was received by the committee members and the questions they put to Harrison and Paul and their counsel, it would appear that the committee members were inclined to favor Paul's side of the case. The Republicans contend that the Democratic election officials permitted about 2,000 Democrat to illegally register and illegally vote for Harrison, and that if these votes are thrown out instead of Harrison having a majority of 448 as given by the returns that Paul would have a majority of about 1,500. OPENED BOOKS NEAR ELECTION It is specifically alleged by the Republicanans that a short time before election day the books were opened 'n Democratic counties for additional registration and that they were not opened in Republican counties. This was a direct violation of law, they alleged, and gave an unfair and illegal advantage to Harrison. John Paul in arguing his case asked that the voters who were illegally placed on the registration list or illegally assisted in making out their registrations, or who had not paid their poll taxes according to law, should be elicited from the election returns, and that where the politics of the voters was not known they should be pro-rated and each party lose that number in the recount. He alleged that these names were illegally placed on the registration books on and just prior to October 2, 1920; that the registrars who illegally registered the voters should have posted the list in conspicuous places and have sent a copy of the fist to the clerk's office, which was not done, and that for this reason he could not know who were legally registered until fifteen or twenty days before election. RESULT OF CUSTOM. Judge Harrison and his counsel asserted that the alleged illegal acts were the result of custom and not intentionally fraudulent. Congressman Stemp and his fellow Republicans were in high spirits at the conclusion of the hearing and freely expressed their confidence of unscaping Judge Harrison. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES.

Hayden's Pure Herb Medicine. 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 be forte being 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. J. A. PAGH.

I cannot give Mr. L. J. Haydon too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured.
