WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 26 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922 EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS (Concluded from last week.) VISITED OFFICE. I called at the office of the Amsterdam News and found Editor John E. Robinson at his desk. He was originally from Virginia, and we conversed for a few moments over conditions. Later I went over to the office of the manufacturer of the Black Swan Records. They have a shipping plant and general offices in the building near that of the Amsterdam News, and they have lately opened offices in Richmond, Va. They are doing a good business, Mr. Pace is the founder and originator of the idea. I called at the office of the Crisis late Monday afternoon. I found only Mr. Augustus Granville Dill there. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, who had been on a lecturing tour, had come in that day, but was not in his office. Mr. Dill rode uptown with me. THE LUTHER BODDIE KILLINGS We called at the office of the New York Age, Editor and proprietor, Fred R. Moore, was at Tuskegee, Ala., but we met his brilliant son and also Mr. W. H. Quick, who has charge of the mechanical department. It was almost in front of this office that Luther Boddy shot the two police officers, and I could see the police station, where the now famous green lights blazed after nightfall. I awoke early Monday morning. Robinson informed me that we were nearly out of the Stanley Super-heat Condenser Oil, which is essential to the operation of the Stanley Steam Car and which prevents injury to the machinery. I had looked in the telephone book and I found a Stanley Service Station at 772 E. 187th street. This was on the East side and I was wondering how I should get to get there. We went up Seventh Avenue and we were directed to go across the viaduct at 155th Street and proceeded to our destination. After a long drive, and much more information we arrived at the place on the corner of 187th Street at the Southern Boulevard. I found a colored proprietor in charge and the white men in the shop called his name when I asked for the proprietor. A CUBAN'S VENTURE I could not understand. He said that Stanley Versley was the proprietor and this colored man answered to that name. He had a nice place. He afterwards informed me that he was a Cuban. I looked over his place, secured the oil and was soon on my way back going by the Southern Rouenken which was a direct route. We crossed at 12th street. That morning at 12 ofclock. I had an engagement in the Wall Street district. I did not know just how Robinson would make out with that Stanley in one of the most congested traffic centres in the world. I lost him of the intersecting street and when we came out with our proprietors we could find three of him. We walked down the street about a block and held for him. KEEP MOVING I tell once more he should come in to the point where we were from. When we got back, I meet the cut and we in conversation with it while we southbound, who was of course the to be seen out. The cruise population, perhaps only packing for half an hour, Robinson could play by moving away and sitting and perhaps another half hour. He appeared to be alive. This conversation did not seem of either bother and I was content. A shot time afterwards in company with Mr. Dane Mohamed All and Mr. Geo. R. Thompson, we were on our way to Eighth Street. That night I was the guest of Hotel Prophetor De Van at the Mude Dale to see the celebrated play "Shuffle Alone." The play had been on Broadway for more than a year and was still the centre of attraction. "SHEPPELE ALONG." We found that it was all about the election of the Mayor of a town known as Jimtown, in which the colored residents were in absolute control. The two chief characters were partners in a grocery store and both had been using their best efforts in defrauding the other. The store scene was the most humorous of all. When a customer came in one partner would not wait on him, telling the other that he had waited on the last customer and that it was his turn now. To settle the matter one of the proprietors told the customer to get the five pounds of meal himself and to weigh it himself. He did so, but from the size of the package, he had helped himself. He wanted change. Neither proprietor or would get up on his seat and the customer was told to take the change out of the cushion, register himself. He old roo and he disappeared smiling at the door way WAPPED ON THIS CUSTOMER The next customer was a fine looking young girl. Both propietors were on their feet in an instant and both endeavoring to serve her until the wife of one of them appeared in the doorway, cying him and he immediately had business in another part of the store. The scenes were goreous, and the renditions "up to the minute" spice up further comment. It showed though that the desire for the black comedian is asserting itself and that the stare will witness a return of the colored folks to the place, which they have been forced for so many years to vacate. It may be that ultimately with this will come a demand for the exercises of the higher type of dramatic art, which has been exhibited by so many gifted white artists. CROSSING STATEN ISLAND That might I went to bed ready for my return to Virginia. It was shortly after 4 A. M. that I awoke Robinson, but it was 7 o'clock that same morning before I moved away from Hotel De Van. When I arrived at the State Island Ferry, it was not 8 o'clock, and when the ferry-boat pulled out with the Stanley steam car aboard, it was after 8 o'clock. It was a pleasant trip and even equally as pleasant as we drove 15 miles across Staten Island to the Perth Amboy ferry, where we waited for the return of the ferry boat, which had just left the wharf. We lost nearly an hour in this manner at the two wharves. Once on board, we were soon on the New Jersey side, making our way to Rpd Bank, from which point Thad decided to go to Ashbury Park. DENTIST HAYES RESIDENCE Arriving there, I went direct to the Office of Dr. John H. Hayes. He wanted us to go to his residence to breakfast, but our appearance was too sudden and I ate with Robinson at the restaurant just across the street and later went to see his Madame and their son, John Jr. I had sent the message, and in a few moments, I was enjoying my soft in that bath tub, out of which a few moments later I was ready to vent into that steam car for a trip to Philadelphia. I left Robinson to do the (Continued on Second Page.) Pole Green School Forges Ahead. Ellerson, Va., May L.—The Pole Green School, Hanover County Henrico District, of which Miss Virginia A. Taylor, of 919 N. First Street, Richmond, Va. was teacher for the past term had quite a successful year. On entering the school she found very much to be done in order to make it attractive for those who had to be trained there. In November she organized a junior league with the pupils then set out to better the conditions in and around the school by having' the boys cut down and shirr, out the nursery, bushes and briers. The girls cleaned the floors, windows and desks, also the girls to clean doors, windows desks and kept toilets and in a sanitary condition. The boys built shelves for water pump drinking cups, wash basins, benches etc. The Junior League raised $244.75 in which they purchased two toy series mugs one of Europe and one of the United States of America.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922 PROF. MOORE SPEAKS AGAIN. Dr. Kelly Miller's Open Letter.— Great Document—His Opinion of President Harding—Ad- vocates a Demand for Rights Denied. Dhaina, Brazil, March 4. I have been reading with much interest and pleasure your editorials upon, and sketches of Dr. Kelly Miller's Open Letter to the President of the U. S. A., and W. G. Harding, in answers to my famous Birmingham speech upon the race question and in my opinion you both have done well, in dealing with the matter. You did well, by demonstrating a spirit of recruitment to such a universal insult by uniting your immediate followers and heading an independent State ticket, and again, by giving Dr. Miller's lotter its well merited attention in your editorials. A MANIFOLD SERVICE You both have done your duties as free citizens of the country. While in his letter, Dr. Miller is doing a manifold eveice to his race, his nation, his school and his own personal dignity, which is far beyond the estimation or calculations, or even the possible understanding of the average person. I candidly believe that such prompt and wholesome expressions of indignation on the part of citizens of good standing will do much to relax the stressed conditions, between the races at the present time and will serve as a concrete basis of operation in ameliorating future understandings between them. We have only to reconfirm that Dr. Miller is in this respect, a service to society universally aided from the especial service within his nation and race and very particularly his school. The Howard University. He is proving that Howard University has an able Dean and merits the full cooperation of the other leading institutions of the country. A COMMON BASIS It is indeed a pity that the heads of all the chartered institutions, of learning in the U. S. A. could not come together and establish a common basis for cooperation in unifying the American education, irrespective to race and local divisions. And it seems that these conditions, can only be brought about by the heads of the faculties themselves doing all in their power to defend and dignify the titles, which they concede to their students against all future prejudices. This would not only raise the standard of American education but it would sound a death knell to the race question within the country. This goes to prove that all kinds of segregation in public matters are hurtful to the best interests of the nation as well as a deeded prejudice to the individual. Of course there will always be a just competition between them for first place. But this should not be permitted to prejudice the students, in the studies which they take in these schools and especially along the lines of race. A GENERAL COMPARESON This would only require a general comparison between the leading schools and a general standard put upon the courses given. When any one of the leading schools lacked the matters, one or more which belonged to its class, competition trophies should be furnished by qualified and said matters institutes. Naval school should be permitted to hold quarter and at the same time refuse to permit candidate with one qualification or equivalent. To refuse one the admittance to a school because of race or speech. It is equal to preventing one from doing his best to be of the greatest possible service to society generally and to his government. If crimes, such as race and even discriminations are permitted to be practiced against the individual the government should not require any atonement for crimes committed by such individuals. AN INTELLECTUAL ADVANTAGE. Because opportunity to prepare one's self, is not only an intellectual advantage, but also a moral persuasion. Likewise any one being refused an equal opportunity to earn an honest living because of race, creed or any other unavoidable condition is equal to forcing such a one to commit crimes in the pursuit of the things necessary to life. If these things had been corrected long ago, much of the present unhappiness of the world could have never come about. Hence Dr. Miller is opening the way for the graduates of the Howard University to have an equal opportunity in the struggle for a living as any others of a similar preparation. This can not be well done without making the matter apply equally throughout society. Howard, like Harvard must acquire its universal recognition by the competency and general ability of its president and professors and not from the students. PROF. I. S. MOORE. GOVERNOR E. LEE TRINKLE VISITS VIRGINIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTI- TUTE Petersburg, Vn.—On Monday April twenty-fourth the Honorable E. Lee Trinkle, governor of Virginia was the guest of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Estitute. In accordance with his plan of visiting all State institutions, the governor spent a half-day at the Institute. He had an opportunity to learn personally and at first hand the needs and possibilities of the school, the building, grounds, and equipment and familiarized himself with the general product and control of the Institution. The governor brought with him a part of his staff and other men prominent in State affairs and interested in education in general. Among those who made up the governor's party were Mr. Harris Hart, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Colonel LeRoy Hodges, director of the Budget, Mr. Jackson Davis, agent for the General Education Board, Mr. Superintendent of Petersburg schools, Hatcher Seward and Mr. Dickinson who are members of the Board of Visitors. Luncheon was served to the party by the Home Economics Department, An assembly of students and teach- GOVERNOR E. LEE TRINKLE.

The Governor expressed himself as being intensely interested in the education of all of the people. He commended the work which has been done and is still being done by the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. He hoped he to see the day when this school would be able to enter into even a larger field. Mr. Hart also commended the school for the work and then dwell at some length upon the general educational conditions throughout the State. He especially emphasized the need of more trained teachers. Shame for the occasion was founded by the Chancellor Society, President John M. Ganley presided in the ENCAMPMENT OF SUNDAY SCHOOL BOYS. Communicating General Crawford and IH Adj. General S. J. James, gave a Proclamation for Cox A. F. Cuddets.

General Crawford and General S. S. Jones, of Muskegee, Okla., have been corresponding with the Congress Secretary, Henry A. Boyd, and have completed plans whereby they will take over for the boys the entire campus of the National Baptist Theological training Seminary for a camp and various Sunday school workers in the area with their delegates and the Sunday School Congress have assured General Crawford that with their delegates will be a boy from their respective schools. These boys will be mobilized and trained, giving them military discipline under religious influences. It will be a real boy camp life. It is understood that at least two officers from the National Cadet Headquarters will be sent directly to Nashville a month in advance to begin training and to get the local contingent at Nashville in shape for the five days work. General Crawford is also the principal officer and in all probability a special train will come from the Lone Star State to the Volunteer State.

The exposure of the conquest of third birth by the N. A. A. C. P. led to a powerful protest by 24 of the most prominent lawyers in the country, in responding to such misdeed made by N. A. A. C. P., based on 20 Birth Actions, New York. Amuse the lawyers and most hold the American Empire Association of the National president of the N. A. A. C. P.; Felix Freud-farmer and Zachariah Clarke, Jr., professor of Law at Harvard Louis Marshall of New York; Nelson S. Spencer, president of the City Club of New York; Tervell Williams, dean of the Washington University Law School at Saint Louis; Frederick Baurman, former Judge of the Supreme Court of Washington. The report of the 24 lawyers says: The Invasion of the black republic is "in violation of our Constitution, our treaties and of international law." The lawyers' report is accompanied by an Address Against the American Occupant of Haiti, signed by a committee from the National Population Government League, consisting of the United States Senator Robert L. Owen, Samuel Gompes, president of the American Federation of Labor, on others. This address cites testimony from the Senate Investigating Committee bearings, showing that atrocities were committed by marines in Haiti and Stato Domingo, including torture by hot iron and infliction of the "water cure," and shock by electric wire. The roads built by the American Occupation, says the Address, were "largely built by forced labor, and had the men responsible attempted any such thing in the United States, they would have been subject to a penitentiary sentence." Both lawyers and signers of the Address demand restoration of Haiti and Dominican Sovereignty over their own affairs.

He afterwards informed me that he was a Cuban. I looked over his place, secured the oil and was soon on my knees which the ail was in my hand, which a direct route. We crossed at 138th street. That morning at 12 o'clock. I had an engagement in the Wall Street district. I did not know just how Robinson would make out with that Stanley in one of the most congested traffic centres in the world. I left him at the intersected street and when we came out with our associates, he walked down the street about a book and a half looking for him. KEPT MOVING I felt sure that he would return to the point where we left him. When we got back, I found the car. He was in conversation with a white gentleman, who was discussing the steam car. The traffic regulations permit only parking for half an hour. Robinson evaded this by moving away and returning and remaining another half hour. He appeared to be at home. The congestion did not seem to bother him and I was content. A short time afterwards, in company with Mr. Duse Mohamed All and Mr. Geo R. "Thompson, we were on our way to 135th street. That night I was asked to meet people. Dwayne the Music Hall to see the celebrated play, "Shuffle Along." The play had been on Broadway for more than a year and was still the centre of attraction "SHUFFLE ALONG."

When I arrived at the State Island Ferry, it was not 8 o'clock, and when the ferry-boat pulled out with the Stanley steam car aboard, it was after 8 o'clock. It was a pleasant trip and even equally as pleasant as we drove 15 miles across Staten Island to the Perth Amboy ferry, where we tied for the return of the ferry bont, which had just left the wharf.

Dr. Kelly Miller's Open Letter— Great Document—His Opinion of Practice of Advocates votes a Demand for Rights Denied. Bahia, Brazil, March 4. —I have been reading with much interest and pleasure your editorials upon, and sketches of Dr. Kelly Miller's Open Letter to the President of the U. S. A., M. R., W. G. Harding, in answer to his famous Birmingham speech upon the race question and in my opinion you both have done well, in dealing with the matter. You did well, by demonstrating a spirit of patriotism with a native voice, by uniting your middle-colored and heading an independent State ticket, and again, by giving Dr. Miller's latter its well merited attention in your editorials. A MANIFOLD SERVICE You both have done your duties as free citizens of the country. While in his letter, Dr. Miller is doing a manifold service to his race, his nation, his school and his own personal dignity, which is far beyond the esprit of the service, or even the possible understandings of the person. I candidly believe that each prompt and wholesome expressions of indignation on the part of citizens of good standing will do much to relax the stressed condition₂ between the races at the present time and will serve as a concrete basis of operation in the future understandings between them. I have only to readarm that Dr. Miller's letter is, in this respect, a service to society universally, aside from the especial service within his nation and race and very particularly his school. The Howard University, the Howard University has on able Denise, works the full cooperation of the other leading institutions of the country. A COMMON BASIS. It is indeed a pity that the heads of all the chartered institutions of learning in the U. S. A. could not come together and establish a common basis for cooperation in unifying the American education, irrespective to race and local divisions. And only be brought about by the heads of the faculties themselves doing all in their power to defend and, dignify the titles, which they concede to their students against all future prejudices. This would not only raise the stakes of American education but it would sound kind to the race question within the school. This goes to prove that all kinds of segregation in public matters are hurtable to the best interests of the nation as well as a decided prejudice to the individual. Of course there will always be a just competition between them for first place. But this competition will not prejudice the students in the students who take it in these schools and especially along the lines of race. A GENERAL COMPARISON This would only require a general comparison between the leading schools and a general standard put upon the courses given. When any one of the leading schools lacked the matters, one or more, which belonged to its class, competent proprietors, immediately acquired and said matters. No school should be permitted to hold charter and at the same time refuse to admit candidates with due qualifications as applicants. To refuse the admittance to a school because of race or creed, is equal to preventing one from doing his best to be of the greatest possible service to society generally and to his crimes, such as race and creed discrimination, are permitted to be practiced against the individual the government should not require any atonement for crimes committed by such individuals. AN INTELLECTUAL ADVANTAGE Because opportunity to prepare one's self, is not only an intellectual advantage, but also a moral persuasion. Likewise any one being refused an equal opportunity to earn an honest income because of race, creed or any other condition is equal to forcing such a person to commit crimes in the pursuit of the things necessary to life. If these things had been corrected long ago, much of the present unhappiness of the world could have never come about. Hence Dr. Milius said that the graduates of the Howard University have an equal opportunity in the struggle for a living as any others of a similar preparation. This can not be well done without making the matter apply equally throughout society. Howard, like Harvard must acquire its universal recognition by the general ability of its presidents and professors and not from the students. PROF. I. S. MOORE GOVERNOR E.

ENCAMPMENT OF SUNDAY SCHOOL BOYS. Commanding General Crawford and His Aide, General S. S. Jones, Issue A Proclamation for the A. F. Cadets. Austin, Texas, Special—Far reaching in its scope is the proclamation which came out today signed by Commanding General Crawford concern-ing the Encompassment of A.F. Cadets to be held in Nashville, Tenn., June 7-12th. This will be the 10th Annual coming together of the leaders of the movement and will be held in connection with the great South State Congress which is in its seventh year. General Crawford and General S. S. Jones, of Muskegue, Okla., have been corresponding with the Congress Secretary, Henry A. Boyd, and have completed plans whereby they will take over for the boys the entire National Baptist Theological Training Seminary in the ground. Various Sunday school workers in conjunction with their delegates and the Sunday School Congress have assured General Crawford that with their delegates will be a boy from their respective schools. These boys will be mobilized and giving military discipline under religious influences. It will be a real boy-camp life. It is understood that at least two officers from the National Cadet Headquarters will be sent directly to Nashville a month in advance to begin training and to get the local contingent at Nashville in shape for the days' work. General Crawford is also in charge of education and in all probability a special train will come from the Lone Star State to the Volunteer State.

The roads built by the American Occupation, says the Address, were "largely built by forced labor, and had the men responsible attempted any such thing in the United States, they would have been subject to a punishment." Both lawyers and signers of the Address demand restoration of Haiti and Dominican Sovereignty over their own affairs.

EDITOR, - JOHN MITCHELL, JR. 411 communications intended for publication should be sent to reach us by Wednesday Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Virginia Recognition of colored citizens by this administration has been slow. Let us hope that it will be sure. Information now comes that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, with the evident assent and consent of President Warren G. Harding, has appointed Mr. Edward L. Dawkins, a citizen of color, customs agent assigned to the Appraiser's warehouse at Philadelphia, Pa. This is the first time that a position of this king has been held by a colored man. It is a recognition of real merit and hardly has any political significance, inasmuch as Mr. Dawkins has served the Government for thirty years and his efficiency is of the highest order. It is gratifying that the end of this "long night" of non-recognition on account of race and color is at hand. We wish him success and we extend congratulations to the officials responsible for his appointment. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION FOR NEGROES DEVELOPING. Many evidences that State colleges for negroes and similar institutions on private foundation in the South are being put on a more substantial basis and that there is an increased interest in their work in agriculture and home economics were found by Dr. A. C. True, director, States Relations Service, United States Department of Agriculture, during a recent visit to a number of such institutions in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. The number of students at these institutions has greatly increased in recent years and they have better trained faculties and enlarged equipment. This is due in large part to the fact that as a result of the inroads of the cotton boll weevil and other economic causes, agriculture in the South is becoming more diversified and therefore requires more intelligence and education on the part of the farm operator. The number of negroes owning farms is increasing and many of them are seeking better training in agriculture for their children. Increased Demand for Teachers. It was also observed that institutions receiving the Smith-Hughes fund for the training of teachers are being much benefited by the aid. There is an increased demand for teachers and extension workers in agriculture and home economics and these institutions are being stimulated to meet this demand. The extension agents are closely associated with the higher institutions and influence students to attend them. They also stimulate interest in the work of the institutions in agriculture and home economics. The larger part of the work of the institutions visited by Dr. True is of secondary grade and many students are still admitted in the elementary grades. Comparatively few are taking the college courses, and in some instances no work is attempted beyond the second year of the college course. The classes in home economies are usually organized and largely attended by girls. There has been much more difficulty in getting the boys to take the agricultural courses. They have been much more inclined to take courses in various trades because when they have learned a trade they can immediately obtain relative wages. The agricultural equipment of some of the institutions has been relatively unattractive. Increased efforts are now being to improve this equipment with good results. There are as yet comparatively few high schools for negroes in the States visited. There is, however, a general movement to improve the rural schools for them, with State aid and private endowment, and as a result examples of schools with good houses of two or three rooms, adequate equipment, and competent teachers are now quite numerous. A recent report on this subject shows that under the stimulus of contributions from a single private source, 1,265 houses for such schools have been erected in the Southern States with public and private funds at a cost of about $4,000,000. One of these schools was visited and the work and equipment were found to be excellent. These and similar schools maintained under other auspices are closely linked with the agricultural extension work. Boys' and girls' clubs are maintained in connection with them. These are often used as community centers where extension agents hold meetings. "institutions," says Dr. True, "greatly appreciate what the department is doing for them by furnishing publications and illustrative material and by helping them in other ways in their offrots to solve the problems of negro agricultural education." ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION RECEIVES STATEMENT FROM COLORED CLERGYMAN BEATEN IN WINDER, GEORGIA. Case Called to Attention of British Ambassador, State Department, and Department of Justice. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue. New York, today announced the receipt of a statement from Rev. B. N. Henningham, beaten in the town of Winder, Georgia, on a charge of "preaching Catholicism" to the colored people there. Mr. Henningham's statement has been forwarded to the British Ambassador in Washington, Sir Auckland Geddes, as Henningham is a citizen of the British West Indies; also to the United States Departments of State and of Justice. Mr. Henningham's statement follows: Attack made upon Rev. B. N. Henningham, pastor of Bushes Chapel, A. M. E., Zion Church, located at Winder, Ga., by twelve or fourteen masked white men. They came to a colored man's home by the name of Oseur Bergammy, where I, Rev. B. N. Henningham was giving him elementary training, about 8 o'clock P. M., March 6th, 1922, seized me without a moment's warning; dragged me from the house bareheaded and placed me in an automobile and drove me about ten miles toward Gainesville, Ga. While on the way I asked them what had I done to be punished. They answered me by holding a pistol on me and slapping me in the face, stating, we will tell you what you have done. Your damn Bishop came here preaching Catholicism and got away before we could get him. Then he sent you here with your Catholic doctrine and educating these damn Negroes, making them worse. When we get through with you your Bishop and no one else will come here preaching that damn Catholic stuff. When they reached about the ten milk point they took me out of the automobile and carried me into the woods, stripped me of my pants, placed me over a log and beat me with something like a leather strop, Hw. EAbb s') Hmfwp yhrdu rdulu until one of them said that was enough. Then they made me get up and told me to run and not look back or they would kill me. I was compelled to walk eight miles back to the home of one of my members braceled in a rain storm bar-headed. They braceled me of the money I had, which was $9.75 and took my clergy book, my testament and other articles. On March 7th, 1922 I went to some of my members and they raised money to help me get out of Winder. I am a Methodist and know but very little about any other doctrine and have no cause to preach Catholicism to my people. No one white or colored in Winder can testify that I have ever done a thing of the kind since have been pastoring there. And that they greatest outrages ever perpetrated HIC. I am from the British West India Islands, Kingston, Jamaica. Yours truly, B. N. HENNINGHAM. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Under the direction of Mrs. Bessie M.

Philadelphia was just 76 miles away. It was nearly 4 P. M. when we arrived at the Camden Ferry. We awaited our turn and when we drove into Market Street, we were greeted by a down pour of rain, which was torrential. DR. JONES RESIDENCE We went to the Stanley Motor Company's plant and from there went to Dr. R. E. Jones residence, 1330 S. 22nd street, where he and his Madame made welcome. Dr. Jones wanted to go with us to Richmond and we readily consented and his Madame wanted to go too. We agreed to this. Then we visited Dr. W. F. Graham, who has been indisposed, but who appeared to be the picture of health. He has prospered greatly during his stay in Philadelphia. We called on Gen. B. G. Collier. We found his wife sitting up after her severe illness. She was looking well. We left for Dr. R. E. Jones residence, where we were to spend the night. We were his guests at the Gibson's New Dunbar Theater. The play was fine. A Japanese performance was a feature and then came the Lafayette players. AT MOUNT VERNON. The play was up to the standard. The next morning at 3:30 I got up. A short time afterwards, Robinson vaulted out of bed preparatory to the trip to Virginia. Dr. Jones came in to form us that he had decided not to take the long trip on account of his ailments. We loaded up and at 5 o'clock moved away. It was 5:30 he fore we left Philadelphia. We were in Baltimore by 11 o'clock and in Washington by 12:30. Robinson wanted to reach Richmond before night. We had run out of oil and a substitute was prepared at a village across the Potomac. At this point I saw a sign, "Two miles to Mount Vernon". This was the house of Georg Washington and here his remains rested. During a lifetime, I had never visited this place and so I decided to drive the four miles, after being told that the road was fairly good. THE HOME RUN I had virtually entered the place by the backway. I drove around to the front and saw many automobiles of sightseers parked. I did not stop. I saw the building in the distance and then I returned to the Richmond-Waslinington Highway. We made a straight and uneventful run for the capital of Virginia arriving there at 6:30. We went to the Planet office and Robison left with the car to put it in the garage at his convenience and so ended my hurried round trip visit to the Great Metropolis, where I spent pleasant moments and transacted much business.

Zion on the subject, "The Expedition of Jesus." Rev. Hatcher preached Sunday night on "Remember Lot's Wife." He begins his year's work with a deeper desire for the salvation of souls as the motto for the year. The collection for the day was $103.84. Mr. Charles B. Mattox, Great Incohonice of Red Men of America, is in Norfolk, on official business for the tribe and to set apart several new tribes of Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas. Mrs. Rosa Draper, of Eighth Avenue has been quite indisposed since April 30. She is slightly improved Mrs. Bessie Reynolds, of Wytheville, in company, with her little adopted daughter, Margaret, spent three weeks in the city. She visited her sister Mrs. Mary J. Colvin and left for home just Friday. The funeral services of Mr. Charley Johnson of Eloventh Avenue took place from the Hill Street Baptist Church, of which he had been a member since the pastorate of Rev. R. R. Henry, 20 or more years ago. He was a native of Nashville, Tenn. and had reached a ripe old age. He had been in declining health for a long white. He died Tuesday morning and passed to that unknown jand to be with the Lord. He said to Rev. D. R. Powel that he was just waiting for his summons. He had sent for Rev. Powell to arrange some financial matters pertaining to his estate and the comfort and welfare of his wife and daughter. He had been an energetic laborer, using much economy. He had secured a neat home and was nicely surrounded. He was supposed to be nearing 90 years of age and leaves to mourn their loss, a loving wife, one daughter, three grandchildren and a host of friends. Rev. Powell preached the eulogy from the text, Psalms 73:24. The floral designs were numerous and quite beautiful. The tokens of esteem showed the high regards which the community had for this honored man. The St. Lukes were out to perform the last rites under Mrs. L. V. Fultz. Rev. J. D. Walker closed with a fervent prayer. Mrs. Florence Dent, of Sixth Avenue, N. W. died here after an illness of about five weeks. She was a faithful member of the High Street Baptist Church and died in full triumph of faith in the Lord. The funeral eulogy was delivered at High Street Baptist Church by Rev. W. E. Lee, who spoke very high terms of her dying testmony. A large audience was out to pay due respect to this sister and friend. She leaves to mourn their loss a loving husband, a little adopted daughter, one brother, one sister, and a host of friends. Her remains were interred in Washington Heights Cemetery, May 2. Mrs. L. A. Bartee, of 226 Fifth Avenue, N. W., who has been under treatment at Burrell Memorial Hospital, has returned home considerably improved. The funeral services of Mr. Thomas Martin, of Ninth Avenue, N. E., who died here after two years of illness, took place last week. He was one of the most beautiful Christian characters of the city. He had reached the age of an octogenarian, Rev. J. R. Louderbach delivered a befitting eulogy on this great man. He leaves to mourn their loss, a loving and devoted wife, who never faltered in her faithfulness and unfinishing devotion to him during his two years illness. The floral designs were very beautiful. There were very grand services at the various Baptist Churches. The communion was served at High St. Baptist Church, where all enjoyed the service. W. B. F. Crowell, the representative of the North Carolina Mutual is home again on the alert around Roanoke and vicinity. The trump has helped this young fellow. It has pulled some fat off. Mrs. Brooks of 136 Eleventh Avenue, N. W., who has been indisposed for several weeks is slightly improved FULTON NOTES: The services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church last Sabbath were excellent. After the services of the Sunday School, which was presided over by the Superintendent, Mr. John Foster, the pastor entered on the rostrum and began his services. He chose for his text Gal. 6:7, using as a subject, "Sowing and Reaping." It was a very timely sermon, and we all took a dose of the heavenly medicine, though it was bitter, but that kind of medicine will cause us to be in better health in days to come, if we go by the direction given by God through Dr. Cobbs. We were very glad to have a good number of visitors in our midst. Owing to the services held at the Gravel Hill Baptist Church in the afternoon, it was a great success, spiritually and financially. The sermon was preached by our pastor, Rev. C. A. Cobbs. 8:30 P. M. we listened to a well profound sermon coming from Rev. Q. Cooke, a student in the night school at the Virginia Union University. Our brother is a young man he is doing well and needs to be encouraged by others who are in the "way." Monday at 8:30 P. M. we witnessed an entertainment known as the May Bride Feast. This entertainment is stricly religious. Given by some of our best talents of Fulton. Wherever you hear of this entertainment is to be you will do well to witness the same. Tuesday night, May 9th, at 8:30 P. M., there will be a grand jubilee concert at the church. You will have the opportunity to hear Mrs. Dr. Alexander Lewis, the noted feminine bass of the city, with quartet and chorus. Admission, 15 cents. Tomorrow morning our pastor will preach a soul-stirring sermon. All of the candidates are asked to be present in the Sunday school. After the morning services we will proceed to the baptismal stream in the creek, 3:30 P. M. the holy communion will be served, and the hand of fellowship be given to the candidates and many others who have returned back to the church of God. The Sunday School Union held its exercises at the Macedonia Baptist Church last Sabbath. The Union Level Baptist Sunday School was represented by their pastor, Rev. S. L. Bush, who sang a beautiful solo. Tomorrow at 3:30 P. M. the May Walk exercises will be held at the Fourth Baptist Church. We all will meet at the church. Bring your banner. The Burleigh chorus will render the principal musical part. Dr. Evans Payne, pastor; J. L. Ballard, president; C. B. Jefferson, corresponding secretary.

The baby contest ended on last Monday night with the little daughter of Mrs. Vassie Braxton as first winner and the little son of Mrs. A. W. Brown as second winner. The contest was a spirited one and well did the babies deserve their awards. Last Sunday was mission day and the entire evening service was devoted to that purpose. The president, Mrs. A. W. Brown, thanked all present for their co-operation and bogged each one to manifest a greater interest in missions. We were privileged to hear a wonderful sermon from Rev. C. T. Martin, former pastor of the Union Level Baptist Church. We were aware of the fact that he had not lost any of those qualities that make a good speaker. Do not forget the oncoming rally, and be sure that each and every one do their part. Another reminder—Mothers' Day, May 14th. Mrs. Susie Townes is slowly improving. Mrs. Amanda Hilliard is quite sick. We are always glad to welcome Mrs. Sallie Plummer, a former resident of this city. Mrs. Plummer is visiting her three daughters. With daughter, Marianne.

Remember the queen's rally at Mt. Oliva on the fourth Sunday. EMPLOYMENT BULLETIN. Issued Monthly by Public Employment Bureau (Department of Public Welfare), City of Richmond, Room 5, City Hall. The following statistics show the activities of the Public Employment Bureau for the month of April: There were more positions open in the men's division than any month since October, 1920. The principal demands have been for carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers and printers. The requests could not be readily filled at all times. The demand for colored labor has been such as to consume practically all men applying for work. An increase was noted in the women's division for stenographers and general office clerks. All requests for cooks could not be supplied. However, there was a surplus of colored women as day workers. The industrial survey, which is made monthly by this bureau, reveals the fact that a number of industries have slightly reduced their forces. However, this decrease has been more than offset by the opening of new enterprises, together with the great amount of building that is being done. Preparations for the Virginia Historical Pageant, to be held here May 22d-28th, is stimulated by many more lives. Conditions have improved to such an extent that practically every person is able to secure employment of some kind, although it may not be just the kind of work or the rate of pay to which he has been accustomed. Mr. Francis I. Jones, director general, United States Employment Service, Washington, D. C., paid this office a visit on Wednesday, April 19th. Mr. Jones seemed well pleased with the work of this office and stated that it was almost a miracle to accomplish the amount of work done here with such inadequate quarters, and was somewhat astonished to see that Richmond did not have more suitable quarters for handling the great number of persons who make use of this Bureau.

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. 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 B kidney trouble and gravel without on 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 more 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 reommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. O I am, J. A.

'If Your Hair is Dry and Wiry Try EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER S. D. LYONS 316 North Central Oklahoma City, Oklahoma I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. 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 well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden 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. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully, J. D. TAYLOR, 2419 E. Grace St., Richmond, Va.
