It will be opened to do the same thing. President John Mitchell, Jr., is ready to put up the same collateral offered and accepted by the Banking Division, Hon. F. Richardson, Chief Examiner and the Mechanics Savings Bank has ample securities to put up as required to secure the One Hundred Thousand dollars to be advanced, by the Clearing House Association of Richmond, Col. W. Mende Addison, President. The arrangement is being made to operate the bank in close co-operation with the Banking Division. HA!HA! INVESTIGATE. WE CAN STAND IT. DEPOSITS SAVINGS MECHANICS-BANK ASSETS SECURITIES BONDS CAPITAL RESERVE FUND SURPLUS GEO. H. BEN JOHNSON NO UNEASINESS. The most remarkable part of the whole affair is the apparent lack of unnessiness on the part of the depositors of the Bank and the colored people of the city. Without realizing too full import of their action colored people all over the city are speaking kindly of the Mechanies Savings Bank and its President. This has had a reflex action in the solid support coming from white sources. White merchants have assured the colored people that all would be well and tame they would do all in their power to aid the institution. The fact that the previous report of the Auditors and accountants of the A. M. Pullen Co., that no evidence of fraud had developed in their previous examination has had a most quieting effect. WANTED TO DEPOSIT Mr. J. A. Hines wanted to know in the Bank was opened last Monday or would be as he had one thousand dollars to deposit in the institution. A movement is already under way to start a rally day when the bank is opened and invite all citizens to lend their aid and success to the movement. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker has offered to lead the movement with a personal subscription and Chairman W. T. Johnson has openly advocated the suggestion. Mr. James H. Frayers, the caterer has proceeded to canvass for the institution and was to be seen in the business district this week supporting the institution. PREACHERS ACTIVE Others, too numerous to mention have pursued a similar course. The Richmond Ministerial Conference, Rev Evans Payne pastor has been forward in the support of the institution as one man. Rev Dr. T. J. King, with his Fifth Street Baptist Church depositus of Fifteen Thousand Dollars announced that he was ready to rally with more as he had no doubt as to the solvency of the Bank. From present indications, there will be no run on the Bank when it opens. Police had been provided at the bank, but they found absolutely nothing to do. A colored person would pass casually and look in and pass on. ELECTRICAL EFFECT They were finally withdrawn altogether. The banking force are assisting the accountants, who are preparing a statement from the time of the last audit. President Mitchell was urged to remain at the Bank and to make himself comfortable in this banking house, which he founded. The support of Col. Thomas B. Mc Adams, President of the American Bankers' Association, Col. W. Mence Addison, President of the Clearing House Association of Richmond has had an electrical effect upon the colored people. The State Corporation Commission, under the able leadership of Judge William F. Rhea has assured a most friendly attitude. A prominent white citizen informed John Mitchell, Jr., that in conversation with a leading financier of the city, he was told that the white banks of Richmond were ready to come to the aid of this colored institution. WILL DO MORE. They are ready to do much more than is indicated to help the spirit of. PRICE, FIVE CENTS ENTS. ge. ts—Southern White Available. A "ROCK OF GIBRALTAR" YET! thrift amongst the colored people. There has been no run on the other colored banks as a result of this remarkable occurrence. In the Judge's Office at the Chancery Court last Monday afternoon, John Mitchell, Jr., met Chief Examiner F. B. Richardson. His remark to former was: "Let us forget the past." To this John Mitchell, Jr., replied in the affirmative and remarked to him, "When you know me as well as these gentlemen here know me, you will have a different opinion of me. I will cooperate with you and do all in my power to work with you in making the Bask a success." Those present were His Honor, William A. Monceure, Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr., Chief Examiner Richardson and Attorney James W. Gordon. DEFINITE INFORMATION: When John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics Savings Bank approached His Honor, Judge William P. Rhea, the presiding genius of the State Corporation Commission and His Honor, Judge Berkley Adams, last Monday morning in the former's office, after prolonged waiting, he was told that it was needless to wait longer, as Chief Examiner Richardson was engaged with the bankers in the Planters National Bank working on a plan to open the Mechanics Savings Bank. When Chief Examiner Richardson called up Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson over the telephone later, he told him that the receivership was temporary, that the Mechanics Savings Bank would open again. He was to leave the city at 4 P. M. that afternoon and would be gone during the week. STRONG BACKING Hon. Thomas B. McAdams, is a southerner, who was elected at the session at Los Angeles, California last October, President of the American Pinkers' Association, an organization that is the wealthiest financial body on earth and represents more than fifty billion dollars worth of assets. To show the attitude of the white people of the South towards the colored people, who respect themselves, John Mitchell, Jr., was made an active member of this Association by Col. James R. Branch of the Merchants National Bank, who was then the Secretary of this Association. It looks like fate that the institution has been honored with the secretaryship and now with the presidency of this great organization. When an appeal was made, one word from Col. McAdams brought the allied financial interests of Richmond to the aid of the ten thousand depositors on the Mechanics Savings Bank and insured the safety of their funds. In addition to this John Mitchell, Jr., is the only colored member of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. This organization controls the commercial interests of this country as they relate to home and affect our interests abroad. Col. McAdams simply directed that the amount necessary to relieve the situation be furnished to the bank, provided the Bank was solvent, the necessary collateral being available. With this backing, how can the Mechanics Savings Bank fail? John Mitchell, Jr. has always stood ready and willing to do anything to help and aid the Mechanics Savings Bunn and any one who says or intimates anything to the secretary can be regarded as an enemy to the institution as well as to the President.

Corner Third and Clay Streets, Richmond Virginia D. P. BRAGG, Secretary J. M. G. RAMSEY, Treasurer FROM BAHIA, BRAZIL. The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia. U. S. A. Mr. Editor, Sir:—Why don't your city take a move to the front ranks?—I mean, the colored people there. Is it a fact, that after all that so many of the colored Richmonders have said about your "good classes of people and the harmonious relations existing between the races there., that you do not have any frictions (or no greater outbursts of friction") simply because the colored people meekly surrender all of their rights to an un-sympathetic and non-progressive group of white citizens? Does it not shame you some citizens? Does it not shame you some what to meet colored people and many many times they are Virginians and even among them are Richmonders, in a flourishing condition in the Northern, Western and Central States; while Virginia, being the northern state for the American colored people and your home city, the capital. I often look at some of the colored papers from other cities and compare their progress to that of The Richmond Planet, knowing too, that the Editor and owner is an honest upright and progressive man in the flower of age, and is actually one of the most influential men of his race anywhere in his country, among the living. I ask myself; why can the colored people of old Richmond not produce a paper like The Chicago Defender and several of the colored periodicals in New York and other cities? Then my mind goes back to the time when the Editor or The Richmond Planet was himself arrested and held up to public ridicule in the streets of his home city, for being to the scene of an accident to get the news for his paper. The most ridiculous part of it all was, he was not only an Editor and owner of a legalized publishing concern, but also the president and founder of a well-known bank, a member of a very select society of some of the most distinguished gentlemen of the who-world, aside from being a member of the Nationa 1 Association of Bankers in his own country and not mentioning that he was at that time and is yet the State Grand Chancellor of one of the most exquisite secret organizations in the country. All of this created by his own personal energies and the influence which he had gained among his own people. If this man was permitted to be railroaded around the streets for such a thing; what would have happened to a common reporter on his staff? After some reflections, I wonder how the intelligent white people of Virginia can long expect the poor colored people of their home state to even be loyal to their country in the time of danger. Do they think that they are insured from possible disturbance during this millennium which we are now entering? If so; I have only to bid them all to wait and watch! Do they think that the great heaps of gold and the apparent success at the international conference and the international agreements upon a unequal proposition of disarmament has secured their immunity? I have but to say watch! And about the paper; there is not only, no wonder that you cannot thrive; but it a less wonder why so many of the colored people left their birth places in the South, to risk their fortunes in the much more liberal north. It certainly must be vexing to be able to travel to the various cities in one's own country and see people living in luxury and esteemed by their neighbors with little notice, if any, taken of their race and color; while all of this was gained by much less effort and sacrifice than what he himself has made. When returning home has actually to conceed all his civil and social rights to men much his n inferior, certainly such a man must have asked himself if their is really a just and all-wise God, governing this great machine? In this case I would like to say to you sir: there is. And that he is only waiting until your own people reframe from their own evil meditations and dare to trust him. Stand up for him, righteousness and keep your own camp clean. You will see the lightening digt through a clear sky and great showers of stone fall from the skies upon the heads of those who are driven from their shelter by the fire started by the lightening. Although we have told you about the last great war long before it came; who could have believed us. When God wants to rid the world of a people, he blinds their eyes and stop up their cars, less they may see and hear and repent and turn from their evil ways. Yes sir, the earth will quake from under their feet, while water-spouts and tempests will brake their ships at sea; they will leave their courses and run suddenly upon the rocks. Their officers and commanders will suddenly loose control of their own nerves and madness fill their ranks. The clouds will come down and stand before them as solid earth, with mountains and trees upon it. Then the small clouds will play the part of animals, men and machinery and will appear to the eye like soldiers in great numbers; while the atmosphere take the place of fearce cannonading. The nature itself will form her potassium gasses and fierce bolts until no ship can keep its place upon the waters, nor the forces by land find places to stand. Then what is the number of ships and strength of armies against God? The great trouble is, that your own people fall to stand for the right them selves. They practice evil and depend upon the powers of man and not upon God! Now just get your old hearts to working right in your chest; and see if their is any great need of your running out of your country. You will not be able to beat the lynchers or any other group when you stand solidly and soundly for the right. Do the Ploblans not rule in Russia, this very moment? Is China not a republic? Did not the Irish do with England, what greater nations could not? If God, wishes to, he can put the whole Ameri can government into the hands of the few Negroes, there, within 24 hours. The trouble with the Negroes, is among the Negroes. They will not try to put it out. About 12 years ago when the New York World said "strike terror to the hearts of the Negroes!" I said to them that God would strike terror to their hearts first. We find that Austria was the beginning and ending of the war. It was the land of the founder of the New York World, which found itself penetrated with terror in every heart. No, sir; God is not dead. He has no equal or equals, therefore do what is right at all times, and under all conditions as near as you can. Do not fear the devil nor his anguess, but ever fear an almighty and all was God! Get wisdom. Get wisdom, and need of the right and equity among men. I am as one risen from the dead because I trusted him against my own desires. Yes, I trusted him against my own life and in the face of death. I was restored to life and activities. Hence I shall ever proclaim against evil, and know that when men fail to hear, nature will obey my words. So friends get the ship right and keep it so. I am for absolute social equality to all; under similar conditions and in this may the Richmonders take hope. No other ground is safe. Then Mr. Editor, stand-up for the right and your objective may be reached even in Virginia. Where are your preachers on this score? I. S. MOORE. BODDIE MUST GO TO THE CHAIR FOR MURDER OF POLICE. Albany, July 12.—The Court of Appeals banded down an opinion today affirming the conviction of Luther Dayy, colored, for the murder of Detective Francis J. Buckley, and William A. Miller of the New York Police Department. At the same time the court affirmed the conviction of Benjamin Gitlow, former Socialist member of the Assembly; James Larkin, Irish agitator; John F. Hettrick, New York lawyer and John L. Knight. Gitlow and Larkin were convicted of criminal anarchy and sent to prison for from five to ten years each, while Hettrick and Knight were found guilty of violating the Donnelly ant trust law, after disclosures by the Lockwood committee. Hettrick was sent to jail for ninety days and fined $1,000. In the cases of Isaac E. Ferguson, and Charles E. Ruthenberg, radical agitators convicted of criminal arrogacy, the court granted new trials, largely because of errors committed in the trial court. Frank H. Hiscock Chief Justice writing the prevailing opinion in the case of the four radical agitators declared that the "left wing manifesto" publication of which was responsible in large measure for the conviction of the four men in the lower courts indicated that it was the aim to accomplish the overthrow of organized government; not by the 'gentle persuasion' and the soft voice of diplomacy but that conceived in an unlawful conspiracy that would inevitably function with force and violence." LAW DEFINING ANARCHY UPHELD Counsel for the radical agitators contended that the provisions in the pena law defining criminal anarchy were unconstitutional. Upon this point Chief Justice Hiscock said: "The difference between free and fearless discussion of public questions and the advocacy of destruction of government itself by means which are abhorent to the entire spirit of our institutions are so great that we deem it entirely unnecessary to discuss at length the question whether the Legis lature of this State may not prohibit the latter infringing upon the former." He added: "It doubtless would be somewhat of a shock to citizens of this State to be told that persons born in other countries and saturated with anarchistic and revolutionary notions might come into this State and advocate the overthrow by force of our present Government without being liable under this statute provided only, they suggested some dictatorship or other form of class and unrepresentative government which possessed some semblance of organization." The opinion pointed out that were the aims of the radicals to be accounted "self regulation and chaos would take the place of real government and order." Justices Pound and Cardozo dissented. BODDY MADE LONG FLIGHT Boddy, who gained international notice by his pectacular flight after he killed the two detectives had a criminal record. On the day of the murder he was taken into custody by the two detectives to be questioned concerning an assault upon a colored policeman. He started for the police station with out resistance. While on the way he be suddenly wheeled and whipped out a revolver and shot both officers in quick succession. He ran to a taxicab and at the point of a gun compelled the chauffeur to drive him into New Jersey. The flight continued across New Jersey. He was finally captured in Philadelphia a colored clergyman notifying the Philadelphia police that Boddy was rooming in a certain house. Hettrick and Knight were jointly convict in connection with a scheme to maintain excessive prices for plumbing and with attempting to fix bids and specifications relating to this character of work. --- On June 16th Zion Baptist Church South Richmond granted about 125 members, including all of its discharged Deacons, their letters of dismission. It is also said that there are more to get letters. The Rev. J. W. Dudley is the pastor of this Church. We pray that the Church may sail on a calm sea, since it is said that the clouds of strife have passed over and peace now prevails. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE PLANET, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va. Please find enclosed ($2.00) Two Dollars for one year's subscription to The Planet, to be sent to M MR. CARTER SPEAKS. Dear Sir:—There is much in Mr. Garvey's speech of June 30th, last in the True Reformer's Hall at Richmond, Va. that merit reason and consideration. The writer, in his opinion, never agreed with Mr. Garvey's idea of redeeming Africa. In other meetings of the kind his advocated theme was the "Black Star Line" to be owned and controlled by the Negro. The thought on the part of the Colored people of owning so great an enterprise filled them with hopes of a prosperity they never before enjoyed. But, thus far this much talked of enterprise has not materialized. So no wit seems according to his speech at Richmond he is advocating an army and a navy for Africa, as a necessary possession to establish "our own civilization" in that far away land. When will he get it and by what means will he maintain such an expensive organization. Germany with wealth, culture and intelligence was for many years building a navy to match that of England, yet when the test came she found herself wanting. Now what time will Mr. Garvey and his Negro Improvement Association get an army and a navy strong enough to get England out of Africa? When will the French leave there? Has Belgium indicated her willingness to get out? Will the Dutch Boers go without a fight? All of this is necessary before Mr. Garvey can establish a Negro Civilization, in that far away land and before he can own a railroad there or control a pullman car. He may be in line with President Harding's Birmingham speech when he so much urged the Negro to "start his own civilization," or in voice of Mr. Harding to be "more like himself." He informs intelligent Colored Richmond, that they "do not own anything" and have "not done anything," ignoring the great accomplishment of the Mechanics Savings Bank and of the real estate owned by the colored people of Richmond. But for the sound reasoning of Mr. Garvey's argument and his plans to redeem Africa it is highly advisable for the people of Richmond and elsewhere to read the Editor's Comment, "Mr. cus Garvey Speaks Here" in the Planet of the 8th of July. What is said in the Comment referred to is well said and is about all one can say concerning Mr. Garvey and his impossible undertaking. ROBERT W. CARTER. Magnolia, Massachusetts, July 11th, 1922.

Church preached last Sunday morning on "What the Bible Teaches Concerning Satan." It was instructive. The whole day's services were good. The night's message was a solemn warning to those who seek companionship without first knowing the Lord. The collections for the day were $160.03. Mr. M. D Barlow is at Burrell Memorial Hospital is reported as getting on nicely. His madam deserves much sympathy, having been continually at his bedside until a few days ago. Rev. James S. Hatcher, D. D. left this afternoon for Rocky Mount to deliver one of his famous lectures. Mrs. L. Stafford, who had spent some time with a sick sister, is at home again on Norfolk Avenue. The membership of Mt. Zion was delighted to have her home again. Mrs. Maggie Meade, of 414 Ninth Avenue, N. E., who was injured in an automobile crash several weeks ago, is recovering nicely under the care of Dr. George E. Moore. She sustained some broken fingers. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hairston of 330 Tenth Avenue and Fourth Street lost their little daughter on Monday, at 9:00 A. M. Kathleen departed this life after an illness of two or three weeks. The funeral will take place from the residence Wednesday evening at 3 o'clock. The friends sympathize with the parents and family. The funeral service of Mr. George M.

PEYTON LEAVES FOR NEW JERSEY SIXTH MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH STILL ACTIVE. Rev. Dr. Randolph V. Peyton has returned to Montclair, New Jersey to resume temporary charge of the St. Paul Baptist Church, which he is now temporarily serving. The called meeting of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church was without incident. Rev. Dr. Peyton had served the church during the Sunday previous. Moderator Charles Brunch presided. A committee was appointed to communicate with Rev. Dr. Peyton relative to his wishes and the purpose is to find out just what is necessary to have him reconsider his resignation, which resignation the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church has not accepted. An interesting part of the situation is the attitude of Rev. Dr. Peyton's wife. This is a case of disagreeing companions, for she is using all of her influence to have her husband remain "Wey down Souf." HOLDS THE MAJORITY The large majority of the members seem to be unwilling to give the able minister up and release him to the Montclair congregation. In the meantime, Rev. Peyton is consulting the Lord and doing all he can to ascertain His will in the matter. He has said that he has resigned and he does not see anything for the Church to do, but to accept the resignation. The Church does not take this view of the situation and it has turned the problem over to a committee, which will report to the Church on the first Monday in August. All the teachers of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Sunday School are requested to make their financial report on missions tomorrow. We had a grand time last Sabbath morning. After hearing from our pastor, we listened to some encouraging remarks from Rev. Brother Langhorne. Excellent music was led by the chorister and his assistant, Mr. Frank Jeter and Mr. Beverly Valentine, respectively, with Mr. Meredith Foster presiding at the piano. 11:30 A. M.

The Richmond Baptist Sunday EIGHT Rev. A. J. Oliver spoke of the noble qualities found in this young man during his boyhood days. He was a faithful Christian never forgetting his duty to his parents and stood by them to the last. His father, Mr. George M. Steptoe passed to the great beyond little more than a month ago. This son got up from his sick bed and came to Roanoke to the funeral. Upon his return he continued to grow weaker. Rev. J. W. Clare's text was, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." He leaves to mourn their loss, a loving and devoted wife, four children; three brothers and one sister, Henry, Oliver and Hershey Steptoe and Mrs. Edmonia Marshall; one aunt and a host of friends. He was loved by all who knew him. The casket was of light grey and very beautiful. The floral designs were numerous and costly. The polite funeral director and embalmer of Gainsboro Avenue had the funeral in charge. The remains were laid to rest in Midway Cemetery, West Roanoke.

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. 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 fore 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 am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. --- --- try GRO ical the Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair.
