"Sex Education;" "Housing;" Inter-Racial Cooperation;" "The Home and the School;" "Children Problems and their Relation to Health;" "Home Economics;" "Social Surveys and Research;" "Recreation;" Industrial Relations;" "Experience With Negro Labor in Large Industry;" "Prospects of the Negro in Industry;" "The Church in Social Work," etc., were among some of the questions to receive considerable attention during the various sessions of the conference. The status of the Negro in industry and kindred questions were discussed by managers and presidents of large manufacturing concerns employing large numbers of Negroes. From all in discussions the future of the Negro in large industry seems very bright. These speakers, however, frankly point out many defects in a number of Negro workers. Irregularity at work, of responsibility lack of ambition, shitlessness were some of the faults most mentioned. But, each speaker indicated that remarkable improvement in the correction of these faults is being noted. The next conference may be held in Atlanta, Louisville or some other south ern city. Over 5000 social workers from all parts of the country attended the conference. "Inter-Racial Co-Operation" received considerable attention and many free and frank discussions were had on this question. The delegates consisted of members of both races. Sacred Concert at Ebenezq: A sacred concert will be rendered by the Excell Chorus at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sunday night at 8 o'clock. Auspices of Senior Sunday School Classes, 3 and 4, E.

The money will go towards developing athletes at Armstrong. The football squad is already showing fine form and will carry out a heavy schedule, on which will be many high schools of this State. They met Fredericksburg High School this week and Lynchburg and Pottsburgh are to be played soon. The public will cooperate with the team. HISTORY AND STATUS OF THE PHYLLAS WHEATLEY BRANCH OF THE Y. W. C. A. Where we see a great oak tree casting shade around it, we are interested in knowing about the acorn from which it sprung. And so the young people of Richmond like to learn and tell of the early history of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch. It was in March 1911, when a group of women, among whom were Mrs. Bettie Thomas, Mrs. A. G. Thompson, Mrs. Rosa D. Howser, Mrs. Lucy G. Lewis, Mrs. W. T. Johnson and others, caught the vision of a definite service which the Y. W. C. A. could render to the girlhood and womanhood of Richmond, met at the home of Mrs. Thompson and organized a club, called the Y. W. C. A. Club, but it was not until 1912 that the Club was affiliated and permanently organized as a Branch with the Central Y. W. C. A. The first definite work done was a survey and study of the city and the needs of its women and girls. Those who comprised the personnel of the officers and first membership committee were as follows: Mrs. Lucy G. Lewis, president; Mrs. Gee, vice-president; Mrs. M. E. Burrell, corresponding secretary; Miss Mary Scott, recording secretary; Mrs. A. G. Thompson, treasurer. When the Branch outgrew the home of Mrs. Thompson, they moved first to 100 E. Leigh Street, remained there until 1914 and removed to 22 W. Leigh Street, where a boarding home was opened to accommodate ten girls. The first trained secretary, Miss Adella F. Ruffin came in the following year; the activities then increased so rapidly that they moved to larger quarters, 740 N Fifth Street. Then came war time when Y. W. C. A. women foll everywhere that their particular job was to "stand behind the girl" more than ever. So through the assistance of the War Work Council a Home Administration building was purchased on Clay Street and in 1920 the present administration plant was purchased and furnished at a cost of $20,000. PURPOSE "The purpose of this Association shall be to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; to promote growth in Christian character and service through physical, social, mental and spiritual training; to become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God." This Branch was established to carry out the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. among colored women and girls. And although the membership numbers 150 computation of this year's activities shows that 6282 women and girls have been reached through the various departments, through which the work is administered. GIRL RESERVE DEPARTMENT. The aim of this Department is to provide every girl with proper kind of recreation and exercise that will give her a strong and healthy body; to see that she gets the right kind of amusement that will not stain her memory; to meet and make friends; to give her poise and self reliance, through team work with other girls; to keep her well informed; and "up to the times" ultimately to give service to God, to the country and to girls everywhere. This is being done through Club activities through which more than 250 different girls have been reached since January first. Clubs for girls in business and profession; girls in high school; girls in grade school; girls in industry. How? recreation, music, lectures, discussions, summer camp conferences, girls council and service EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT. This department aims to help every woman and girl to find a job for which she is best fitted and to hold it. Thus far the number of calls (Continued on Fourth Page) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922. NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO BREAK KU-KIUX (Preston News Service) Richmond, Va. Oct. 26—In a statement, issued last Tuesday night, J. T. Bethel, attorney for a number of members of the Ku Klux Klan declared that the recent withdrawal of the Richmond Lodge, is the beginning of a nationwide movement to break up the Klan, and to substitute a new organization as the "Anglo-Saxon clubs of America." The first steps toward organization of the Anglo-Saxon clubs have been taken the attorney declared and added that a post will be formed in Richmond immediately from the severance of relations between the local Klan and the parent organization, which occurred on Oct. 5. Dissatisfaction among local klan members has been growing for some time. Mr. Bethel stated, "because of the manner in which the affairs of the organization were conducted at Atlanta," the chief reason for the withdrawal was that we found that the "Georgia organization is a rampant anti-catholic organization stead of an organization to maintain white supremacy." It is said that the local klan was loyal to the parent organization as long as their activities were directed against the Negro race. The new organization will direct its energies against the darker races, the Negro especially. A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOR COLORED PEOPLE. Sarah G.

Would like to correspond with a Widow, without children, between the ages of 35 and 45 years, Address, WILLIAM O. PRYCE, 133 Main Street Bordentown, N. J. The football elevens of Virginia Theological Seminary and College, of Lynchburg and Virginia Union University met on Hovey Field here, on Saturday evening, October 21. Both teams were in perfect condition, although the Seminary had the best and smoothest machine, being able to penetrate Union's defense at will. STANDS COLLAPSED Enthusiasm was high and the Union rooters with their cheer leader made things hum until the bleachers refused longer to stand the strain, and collapsed. (No casualties, at the Union boys were scattered on the ground roundabout.) Not to be outdone the Union boys headed by J. Henderson, president of the Athletic association, secured a goat and placing him at the head of the line marched over to the Seminary stand and notified them that although they had lost their stand, they still "had Seminary's goat. The Seminary students and rooters were on the east side and made the wokkin ring with yelts for the theologs. President R. C. Woods and his faculty were present. FIRST HALF SCORELESS The first half was scoreless. The two costly fumbles by the theologs offset their ground gaining ability and the Union warriors were quick to take advantage of the situations as they arose. The only scoring done was when Tyler, Seminary quarter, essayed a long forward pass and Captain Jackson, the winged Pegasus intercepted and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. Union's interference on this play was perfect and almost sensational. QUARTERS MERGED This was the end of the third quarter and some contention arose as to the procedure of the game from this point. Referee Brice (Howard) allowed the game to go into the last quarter without a change of goals. Seminary protested. The officials admitted their oversight and suggested as there was no rule governing such a condition, that the coach reach an agreement for the continuation of play. AGREEMENT REACHED The score stood 6 to 0 in Union's favor, with but 3 minutes to play, according to the officials. Coach Lawrence stated that since no final had been called for the third quarter he was quitted to a fourth quarter of 15 minutes, but Seminole would compromise with a 12 minute quarter. Coach Martin, of Union would only agree to play 6 minutes. He finally consented to the 12 minute quarter and play resumed. SEMINARY FORFEITS GAME Seminary catapulted her backs through Union's line making first downs at will and reached Union's 30 yard line and fumbled, losing her last chance to score. The theologons protested to the officials that Union was using a play that was clearly offside and that the quarter back was in motion as the bill was snapped. On the refusal of the officials to penalize Union, the Theologors forfeited the game to Union and the Referee Brice announced Union victor, with the score standing 1 to 0. Officials: Referee Brice (Howard) umpra, Edor Low (Howard) head linesman, Moore (Hampton) A. S. C. 6; SHAW UNIVERSITY, 3. Manager Sam Thomas "A's" humbled the gridron warriors of Shaw University last Monday on Hovey's Field. The game was played in a continuous downpour of rain and Captain Charley Ammons piloted his A. S. C. torpedo boat thru rough scale to a score of 6 to 3 in his favor. Although Shaw played a plenid game, she was powerless against the local boys. Hulcs, champion kicker had registered three points with that re- (Continued on Page 8) NEGRO OFFICERS FOR THE FRENCH ARMY Pow Objectors Picture Military Future of The Count yin the Hands on Othellos. Paris, Oct.—(Crusader Service.) Con Stuhl in a proposal now before the Army Commission advocates the training and appointing of Negro officers for white regiments. The plan includes the opening on the French military school's to Negro students from the interior of Africa as well as Tunis, Algeria, and Morocco. They would thus become officers at the head of white troops and on the same level as the most aristocratic Parisian of the Faubourg Saint Germain. Objectors have been found to the plan however, who picture the military destinies of France in the hands of future Othellos. Parisian newspapers with English and American readings are especially opposed as they feel that such action would rouse pro tests and vindicate retaliations on the part of the Negro hating Ango-sax on race. These objectors cite too, the danger involved to the French colonies in training Negroes to lead armies and bring in the so-called "Garvey Movement" and Marcus Garvey's foolish threats as supporting their position. Col. Stuhl and his supporters laugh at the nightmare of "Garveyism thus invoked and answer that the entire "Garvey Movement" is nothing but air and braggdoco based on a total ignorance of modern conditions. Anyway, the proposal, following closely Rene Maran's award of the Prix Goncourt and "Battling Siki's victory over Carpentier is having a highly disconcerting effect in many quarters heretofore believed democracy. STOCKHOLDERS OF COMMERCIAL BANK AND TRUST CO. MEET. The Second Annual Stockholders Meeting of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company, Was Held in the Offices of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., Thursday Oct. 19th, at 8:00 P. M.

One of the sensations in Vienna this summer was the visit of the Southern Syncopated Orchestra. Right from the first moment of their appearance in the Prater, the famous pleasure resort of Vienna they have faced full audiences who showed their appreciation by rounds of applause. Such a reception in Vienna means a great deal. Vienna is still the musical centre of the world and many a musi- cal reputation that had been made in other lands has been awarded a grave stone here. The Southern Syncretated Orchestra came to Vienna in the right spirit. They did not say to Vienna "we have something better then you have"; what they did say was "we have something that you have not. It may not be as good as what you have got but it is our own creation." Consequently the artists from the South faced their audiences with an easy confidence and gaiety of spirit typical of their race and the Viennese seeing be fore them the artistic products of the modern renascence of the Negro race at once took art and artists to their hearts. The Negro music present and future is now assured a place in Europe. Its greatest success still waiting for it. Now Vienna but Budapest will really understand it. However Vienna will in future have a place for representatives of the Negro. This fact should be remembered and made us of for the benefit of the intellectual irridenta of the Negro race. Here in Vienna, Prague and Buda Pesth all the cultures of Europe meet. The Negro should not only bring something to Vienna but should take something away which will contribute to the future Negro civilization. Vienna has the greatest music teachers of the world. Those who come using should take in exchange the instruction of the masters of their art. This city has still undisputed supremacy in the production of art products. In its schools the Negro can learn handwork from world masters. The University of Vienna still holds its supremacy in Europe and its medical faculty its world supremacy. In its walls students from the five continents meet together. In the streets of the city all the languages of Europe are spoken. Living in this city is a cultural training. When the Southern Syngenated Orchestra returns to America one will remark at once that they have learned a great deal during their travels. The genuine Negro art has not been changed but they have acquired a technical finish that will make them all the more welcome to audiences in America. It is to be hoped that they will return next year. Their place in the heart of the public is assured. In their efforts to bring together a star company they should have the support of all the Negroes of America who are striving for the development of their race. Everything possible should be done to send over men and women who will not only do credit to their own race but who will be capable or learning something that Europe has to teach them. Owing to the concert hours in Vienna it is an easy matter for a member of concert company to fulfill his concert engagements and still to have plenty of time to attend lectures, classes or take private instruction in any subject desired. The reputation that has been already won will ensure the financial returns being so efficient that he or she can live comfortably during the time of their stay in Vienna. The direction of the troupe are making great efforts to return to Europe with a party that in number and quality will increase the good reputation they have already won. Let us hope that they receive the support in America their efforts deserve. Will Operate Under Sessioner Joseph Button when the action of the Bureau of Insurance will cease and the control of the financial affairs be turned over to the proper officers. The Supreme Lodge, through its attorney made representations, but the Commissioner of Insurance declined to recognize the authority of the Supreme Lodge. The money available will make it possible to pay all death claims now pressing and as soon as the affairs of the Mechanics Savings Bank are straightened out, the situation will be under the control of the two bodies, which have ample assets to meet all obligations. ALL THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS SAID THEY FAVORED THE DYER BILL-ALL OF THEM FAILED TO FUNCTION TO MAKE IT A LAW TWO All the Republican leaders of the Harding administration, since the coming into control of the Harding administration, have said that they favor the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill. President Harding said he favored Vice-President Coolidge said he favored it. Speaker of the House, Gillet, said he favored it. Senator Lodge, leader of the Republican Senate, said he favored it. Senator Frelinghuysen, New Jersey Senator, said he favored it. New York's Senators, Calder and Wadsworth, said they favored it. Franco, Curtis, Watson all of the Republican Sonators close up and high up in the Harding administration, or they favor the Dyer Bill. say they have John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, said he favored it. Senator McCormick, Chairman of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee, said he favored it. mitted, said Congressman Pess, who was Chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee until nominated for United States Senator in Ohio said that he favored the Dyer Bill. Yet, with all this powerful politician array of influence, the Dyer Bill failed to pass the Senate. It was simply favored to death. It was as unanimously favored as it was unanimously shelved. Multi-millionaire Senator T. Caleb man du Pont said he favored it, too. These big and these powerful Republicans perform in those things that they want done 'they did not perform with reference to the Dyer Bill.' It slapped in Senate Committee until it was dug up and dug out to make votes. It did not get even serious discussion in the Senate, and politics was played with it only on the day before adjournment. In the face of this, to the teeth of these facts, Colored voters are being told to vote for "our friends who favor the Dyer Bill"; and are being told this by Colored people who are intelligent enough to know better. The Dyer Bill passed the House solely as a vote-maker and with no serious intention of it ever becoming a law. Congressman Martin B. Madden is influential enough to become Chairman of the powerful Committee on Appropriations of the House and to get a relative appointed Second Assistant Postmaster General. He is in the Harding administration inner circle. Colored people call him "one of our friends. He got other big things for himself, but he tailed to function his powerful influence for his Colored district in getting the Harding administration leaders to pass the Dyer Bill in the Senate. Congressman Fess of Ohio could become Chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, and he could swing the Republican nomination for Senator in Ohio, but he could not swing the Harding administration into passing the Dyer Bill. Fess could get what he wanted for his own advancement, but he could not advance the Dyer Bill to passage. Fess is also referred to by some Colored people who ought to know better, as "one of our friends who favor the Dyer Bill." It will pass the next time, they say. The short session of Congress will be given to the supply bills, to appropriation necessary to keep the Government functioning, President Harding is also going to press his Ship Subsidiary legislative program at the short session of Congress. The Dyer Bill will not have a look-in. Harding is not going to disturb the social and political atmosphere of Washington with the Dyer Bill when he has what he considers "more important" legislation to press for passage. There will be no time for the consideration of the Dyer Bill. Those who say the Dyer Bill will pass next time are saying this to hold the Colored vote. They are playing politics. More than a year before the last Republican National convention Senator George H. Moses introduced a Senate Resolution that had reference to reduction of Southern representation In Congress. Senator Moses soon appeared on the political scene as trying to get Colored delegates in the South favorable to General Wood's nomination for President. Since then no one has heard from Senator Moses and his particular Senate Resolution. Reduction of Southern representation in Congress was long used as a Republican political game to hold the Colored vote. It was pressed under the name of the Crumpacker Bill. That scheme died away and now the Dyer Bill is taken up as "good politics" with which to hold the Colored vote. Crumpacker Bill and Dyer Bill are political brothers of the same Republic can political flimflam family. JOSEPH C. MANNING. Herald Square Hotel, New York City, October 19, 1922. GROUND BROKEN FOR THEATRE IN PITTSBURGH (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 20.—Ground has been broken for the erection of a modern theater for Negroes here. The company backing the project is the Steel City Amusement Company, of which John Branch is president. Several alfforts have been previously made among Negroes here to erect a theater where first class shows and plays could be given, but have all fallen through for lack of co-operation and support among Negroes. This project looks as though the people are going to stand back of the young businessmen here and help them put across this project. HAMPTON DEFEATS MORGAN COLLEGE 6--0. Morgan Shuts Out Hampton for Three Periods—Dean Runs 40 Yards for Hampton Touchdown. (By Henry A. Cornish.) Hampton, Va., Oct.-Hampton Institute football team won its 1st game of the season on Saturday, October 14, by defeating the fast Morgan College team by a score of 6 to 0. The game was played on Armstrong Field. It was a great battle from beginning to end. The day was clear and slightly cool--very inviting to the large crowd of spectators who filled theachers. the bleacher. At 3:05 Hampton kicked to Morgan's 10 yard line. The Hampton line held and Morgan was forced to submit the pigskin on her 25 yard line. Hampton advanced the ball to Morgan's 5 yard line and was held for downs. Morgan kicked out of danger to the 50 yard line. The rest of this quarter was a "kicking duel" in Morgan's territory. Hampton lost two good chances to rotten. MORGAN PASS IS INTERCEPTED The second quarter opened with the ball in Morgan's possession on Hampton's 40 yard line. Morgan made a 10 yard gain through the line. Morgan tried a forward pass, which Hardwick of Hampton intercepted. Hardwick run 20 yards. Hampton made two first downs on line plunging. A fumble by Hampton, was covered by Morgan, who kicked the pigskin. The ball was advanced to the 55 yard line. Hampton hit the line for a first down. Here Hampton tried to score with a drop kick. The half ended with the ball in Morgan's possession on the Hampton 35 yard line. MORGAN'S DRO: KICK FAILS Hampton opened the second half with a kick off to Morgan's 5 yard line. Morgan, in turn kicked out of hot wat er. Hampton was held for downs and was forced to present the pigskin to Morgan. Morgan again kicked. This time the ball went to Hampton's 39 yard line. Then Hampton kicked to the 60 yard line. Morgan made a first down and on her next play tried to score with a drop kick. The ball was brought out to the 20 yard line and put into play. Hampton made a first down and tried to kick. It was blocked. When the dust had cleared and the referee had reached the bottom of the heap of human warriors, it was discovered that Ruffin of Hampton had covered the precious pigskin. Hampton made two first downs. The quarter ended with the ball on Morgan's 32 yard line with Hampton the possessor. DEAN MAKES A TOUCHDOWN Hampton opened this quarter with an attempt to drop kick. This was blocked and covered by Morgan. Morgan kicked to Hampton's 40 yard line. Dean of Hampton hit the Morgan line. He broke through and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. Hampton kicked off to Morgan's 10 yard line and the ball was advanced ten yards. Morgan kicked. Hampton then began marching down the field. The game ended with Morgan backed up against her goal with Hampton a foot and a half to go. Both teams played good, clean foot ball. The Morgan team, however, showed better generalship. Morgan has the prospects of a good team—a fighting team. It is expected that this team will give a good account of itself.

Oct. 18—Affidavits have been obtained from two men whose identity the authorities refuse to divulge, county prosecutors said tonight, which sets forth that the double murder of the Rev. Xdwarva Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills did not occur in the Somer set County orchard, where the bodies were found but in a barn on the south ern outskirts of New Brunswick. Investigation which followed the filing of the affidavits, the authorities said, lead to the discovery of the police of two handkerchiefs—one a man's and the other a woman's—held to be important clues in the case. They were not found on the Phillips Farm, as was reported at that time, but in the barn, which stands on the opposite side of New Brunswick. Two dark brown combs also are salt to have been found on the dirt floor of the barn. These combs Charlotte Mills is reported to have identified as having belonged to her mother. The statement, which the authorities alleged they have obtained from the two men is said to declare that they were driving from Red Bank, N. J. abut 12 o'clock on the night of September 14. Two miles out from New Brunswick they said, they passed the barn, a deserted, dilapidated structure plastered with advertising posters, which stands in a field close to the highway. SHRIEKS HEARD FROM BARN From this burn, the men are reported to have said, they heard screams issuing pleas for money, and then one long shriek, "murder." "the police." The men drove through New Brunswick without reporting the occurrence and an hour later were on Easton avenue, when they were passed by a Sedan going toward the Phillip's Farm. In the machine, they said were a woman wearing a grey coat, and a man. The afilidavit is said to state further that the men were on Easton Avenue, near the park which adjoins the Phillips' Farm for nearly half an hour and that they saw the sedan returning at a high speed. It turned from Easton Avenue near the park and disappeared. The county prosecutors, in an effort to shroud their investigation in a secrecy, which they declare to be essential to a successful solution of the mystery, have removed their headquarters to the town of Round Brook, N. J., where they were in close conference tonight. In certain quarters the statement of the two signers of the alduavit is not being accepted unqualifiedly. These detractors point out that it contradicts evidence already taken from personal living in the vicinity of the Phillips home that they heard the screams and shots on the farm on the night of the double slaying. CHARGE CONTRADICTORY That examination of Mrs. Hall the widow of the rector in the prosecutor's office, when she was closely scrutinize Remarkable Preparation Makes It Easy for Anyone to Quickly Grow Long, Soft, Silky, Lovely Hair. ed by a woman whose identity has not been "fully revealed" was even more cerie and mystifying than at first reported, became known in connection with the announcement of the obtaining of the ailldavits. This woman, the prosecutors now say, was only a decoy Sitting directly across the room she was supposed to absorb all of the attention of Mrs. Hall, while the rector's widow was being closely scrutinized by the two men who are now said to have made the ailldavit. The authorities have declined to make public the result of this elaborate plan for examining Mrs. Hall. The love notes of the rector and Mrs. Mills, which were made public today, shed an entirely new light on certain phases of the case, the authorities said The "Minnie" of these notes, Mrs. Addi son T. Clarke has been questioned regarding her movements, particularly on the day on which the bodies of the rector and the choir singer were found. She was asked whether she had ever taken any pastry to Mr. Hall. This she is said to have denied, but has admitted, according to the authorities, carrying a package into the Church of St. John the Evangelist, the day on which the crime became public. The authorities said they had not accepted her explanation that this package contained nothing but the vestments of the slain rector. Word received from Bound Brook of the continued optimism on the prosecutors, which revived suddenly at the height of precaption to turn the entire case over to the State authorities on Sunday, when promises of definite action were made to Governor Edwards. The Governor is expected in New Brunswick tomorrow but whether directly in connection with the Hall-Mills murder could not be learned. Much evidence and many new clues have been revealed since the granting of grace to the local authorities. Yet, according to the prosecutors, their optimism is based on far more valuable evidence, the nature of which cannot be learned through the wall of mystery which the prosecutors successfully have drawn about them. A friend of Mrs. Hall who breakfasted at the Hall home this morning declared the rector's widow was greatly agitated when she saw morning papers containing copies of Mrs. Mills' letters to Mr. Hall. "Impossible! Impossible!" she exclaimed. "My husband was pure souled He was wrapped up in the doing of the Lord's work." SAYS LETTERS FORGERY She also was quoted as again protecting vigorously that the letters purporting to have been written to Mrs. Mills by the minister were not genuine and to have spoken bitterly of Charlotte Mills for having sold them to a New York newspaper. Timothy N. Pfeiffer, counsel for Mrs. Hull, declared this afternoon that her safety deposit vault had been opened at her own instance, rather than up on demand of the authorities. Mrs. Hall he said, wanted to get some bank stock from the vault and had notified the authorities of her intention so that they could be present when the vault was opened. This young lady gives all the credit for her beautiful hair and so much for love to EXELENTO preparations. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND.

In all discussions, be sure to "hear the other side." Kind-hearted people are an asset to the world. The other kind are often a liability. Industrial conditions are improving and the outlook for prosperity in this country is encouraging. They are spending a lot of money in Richmond and improvement is in evidence everywhere. Some white folks are against us, but there are "a powerful lot" of others in our favor. Let us encourage them. Some people do not care who dies, just so they live. They do not care who lose, just so they make money. The better class of white people are speaking in favor of the better class of colored folks and vice versa. All things will come right after a white. Colored folks, continue to teach your children politeness towards white folks and towards colored folks and they will be polite to every body. Editor Matt N. Lewis is the Republi can candidate for the United States Senate in this State and self-respect ing colored voters, both male and for male should support him. Judge Learned Hand of New York has sustained the contention of Attorney General Henry M. Daugherty that no vessels, American or foreign can bring liquor in their lockers for the consumption of their passengers within the three mile limit. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The "Lily White" Republicans have named a candidate for United States Senator to oppose Senator Claude A Swanson-and one in this Third Congressional District to oppose Ex-Governor Andrew J. Montague. They have plainly announced that they are desirous of obtaining only white people' votes in this campaign. As to the colored folks, they can do as they please support the so-called Republican candidates, stay at home or vote for nominees of their own race and color Colored voters will accordingly decide this question for themselves. If they vote for the "Lily White" Republican candidates, the so-called Republicans will claim that they were not cast for them, but will consider them as white people's votes, and if they vote for their own candidates, they will be able to show that they have self-respect enough not to give their political strength to an aggregation of white politicians, who scorn them. We have been disposed to advise that personal considerations be foremost in the contest. Where Democrats are in the running whose attitude in a personal sense is friendly to our people, it would be the part of wisdom to support them. Here in the Third Congressional District, where there is no "Anti-Lily White" candidate in the field, one of the bravest Virginians in the State. Hon. Andrew Jackson Montague is a candidate. He comes from Virginia stock and is a statesman of transcendent ability. His friendship for colorea people is proverbial and their support will be welcomed. Colored people will regard him with favor. All through the Southland, white men of this type may be found. They know colored folks and colored folks know them. Making friends with these kind of southerners will do much to help us in this great struggle, which now confronts us. There is little difference between the two parties. The time has come for us to deal with individuals until the time comes, when bed-rock principles will be recognized and respected by great political organizations and the day of the demagogues has passed away for ever. THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER David Lloyd George, the distinguished Prime Minister of Great Britain found himself and his coalition party in the minority recently and as a result tendered his resignation together with that of his associates. King George accepted the same and Andrew Bonar Law, who has since been elected leader of the Conservative party was commissioned to form a cabinet and is now Prime Minister of Great Britain. The well-known Welshman had served his country for seven years. The question of the Dardanelles and his announced purpose to plunge Great Britain into another war with the Turks, unless the Turks abandoned their purpose to enter Thrace once was no doubt the cause of his down-fall. The slogan taken up in England and obsohere is, "No more war." Certainly it is a predominant declaration in this country. Premier Lloyd George insisted that his action was taken to prevent war, but those close observers of passing events could not see it in that light. French representatives claim now credit for having prevented a war with, the Turks and insist that but for their good offices, the Cross and the Crescent would now be engaged in a deathstrugle. Mustapha Kemal Pasha has been the central figure in the great struggle in Asia Minor and is now the dominant figure in Near East affairs. He has an army thoroughly equipped for a long struggle and he is restoring to the Turkish Empire practically all that it lost in the late world struggle As for the League of Nations, facetiously called the "League of Some Nations" and "The League of Damnation" it does not appear to be functioning at all and its mandates are in discard. The British administration may not make radical changes in the policy of the former Premier, but it is evident that its continuance in power will be of a longer duration than some people now seem to think. The feeling generally will be to give it a fair trial and the dissolution of the British Parliament and the appeal to the British electorate November 15th will be an indication as to just what Britishers think. The policy of the Lloyd George administration in India has been the subject of much criticism and the outlook for a harmonious Mohammedan world under the British world under the British flag is brighter than it has been for many years. In the meantime President Harding is studiously keeping the United States Government out of European entanglements. WYTHEVILLE NEWS. At the Bethel A. M. E. Church, Dr. G. C.

HISTORY AND STATUS OF THE PHYLLIIS WHEATLEY BRANCH OF THE Y. W. C. A. (Continued from First Page) for girls has exceeded the supply. The Branch believes that it is the inalienable right of every girl to be properly housed and has a comfortable furnished home with kitchen, dining room, parlor (beau-room), laundry, taking care of 17 girls permanently and 3 transients. EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT. General: mollinery, home nursing, choral study, dressmaking and embroidery. Physical: health education. In order for a girl or woman to keep her job, she must be physically fit. Basket ball, tennis and games. Positive health talks. Reigions: Bible study and vesper services. This Branch is in the position of a standing army. It hears the call of battle, its officers and men are well primed, it knows just where its place is at the front—but it must continue to stand—because its equipment is not adequate. The Branch knows that there are about 29,800 Negro women and girls in Richmond. It knows that a large portion comes from the surrounding places and are lodgers. It knows there is not a single gymnasium, bath house or swimming pool for Negro girls and women. It knows that there is no home for business girls and only one for the industrial girl. A great challenge is this. But with its limited equipment, this Branch has done its best to answer. Now it comes out for the first time in two years to the citizens of Richmond to make investments in its girlhood and womanhood. Its 1923 budget difference, $2,000 will barely cover present activities and it must look to the citizens of Richmond, men as well as women to equip the army for a bigger and better service. What will you answer November 6-13th, 1922. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Mrs. Rpht. Spear, president of the National Young Women's Christian Association spoke to a large group of women and girls at the Branch.

London Oct. 19.—After holding the office of the most critical years of Brit office of Prime Minister through seven of the mots critical years of war and four years of reconstruction—David Lloyd George went into "the wilderness" today. This was the description in his Manchester speech of his position if the Unionist wing of his followers should desert him. Unionist withdrawal from the coalition was decided upon today by the meeting which Austen Chamberlain had called at the Carlton Club and which was attended by the coalition members of the House of Commons and a handful of Lords who were enrolled in the Cabinet. CHAMBERLAIN POLICY BEATEN The vote was 186 to 67 against the Chamberlinbim policy of pledging the party to sustain the coalition and the favor of a general election to confirm its course. The meeting was followed by a succession of swift events, which carried the coalition government into outer darkness. Andrew Bonar Law will put on the Prime Minister's mantle for a short term of office. The King summoned him to Buckingham late this evening and invited him to form a new government which Bonar Law will undertake although the state of his health, which competed him to withdraw from public life a few months ago, makes it a risky venture. Before Bonar Law can formally accept the premiership, however, a meeting of the Unionist party must be held to elect a new leader to carry out the pledge to be decided by caucus. This meeting will be held within a few days when Bonar Law will be chosen. AN AFTERNOON OF RUMORS Between the Carlton Club meeting and Bonar Law's visit to the King, it was a seething afternoon of rumors and a group gathering among the political factions. Austen Chamberlain first visited the Prime Minister's office residence in Downing street as had been expected to offer his resignation; several under-secretaries and the chief coalition Unionist whip. Lieutenant and Leslie Wilson, had already informed the newspapers that they had resigned and within two hours Lloyd George was in possession of the resigned petitions of practically all the members of the Cabinet. He then drove to palace to tender them to the King. Lloyd George advised the King to summon Bonar Law and according to custom, this was done. While Lloyd George exhibited cheerfulness to the few who saw him and cheered him on his journey to the palace, he could not but feel deeply the verdict that he no longer commanded support of the majority of the Unionist party, which for the past few months had furnished the strongest material for his Cabinet. BONAR LAW BRINGS ACTION It was Boner Law, more than any other man, who influenced the Unionist caucus to secede from the coalition. He had been a sphinx whom the ransi and file of the Unionist commoners were waiting to hear. He is a serious and unemotional man, with a quiet manner. His opinion that it was important to keep the party together than to win the next election, and "whether by his own fault or the force of circumstances, Lloyd George had lost the confidence of the country," declared many votes. There was also a strong feeling in the party that the Chamberlain pla. which gave the party's destinies over to the small faction representing it in Parliament, was not a fair device. The last straw which weighed in the scale was the Newport election, in which a straight Unionist candidate won on a platform of opposition to the coalition and all its work, although the politicians thought the Labor party had a safe prospect in that constituency. CURZON TO BE CABINET PILLAR Bonar Law will have Lord Curzon for one of the pillars of his Cabinet. Curzon remained away from the caucus today, but sent a letter of protest against the exclusion of the lords. One result of today's upheaval is a split in the Unionist party, which makes its fortunes doubtful. A strong group of the old Cabinet Unionists main true to their leader. Mr. Chamberlain, the Earl of Balfour, Lord Birkenhead, Sir Laming Worthington Evans and Sir Ripbert Stevenson Horne follow Lolyd George into the wilderness and many workers in the party ranks are likely to go with them. The proclines of the solemn gray old Carlton Club, which has shattered much history-making in its time, afforded the London crowd which never fails freely to express its sentiments towards notables, a distinct scene of excitement. The Earl of Balfour who had only to walk around the corner from his house, was one of the fortunate who got nothing but cheers, Mr Chamberlain was loudly hooted when he appeared, from a feeling that no was not playing the game. CALLS: BIRKENHEAD "JIDAS CALLS. BIRKENIEAD "JUDAS. Two or three less lights also proved unpopular. Some hothoad loudly and repeatedly cried "Judas" as Birkenhead ascended the steps. Club attendants stood on the steps to separate those who had cards of admission from those who tried to force their way in, standing on their rights as members. There were half a dozen of these belligerents, including Lord Chaplain, one of the oldest Unionists and one of the oldest members of the club. Some compromised by entering the lower floor, others retired after exchanging warm remarks with their clubmates among ticket holders. A meeting of the Carlton Club to discuss the rights of members is on the slate for the near future. Lloyd George and Mr. Chamberlain presided, respectively, over meetings of the coalition Liberal and coalition Unionists members of the government, discussing future policy. Lloyd George will make his first speech as "ex-Promier" tomorrow at Guildhall on the occasion of London's official welcome home to the Prince of Wales, but he is expected to reservoir his real political manifesto for Saturday's meeting at Leeds. REGARDED VICTORY FOR YOUNGER Today's events may be regarded as constituting a great victory for Sir George Younger who upset George's plans for a Feb. election and has now been the cause of his resignation. Lloyd George will continue to hold his seat of office to carry on current business until the new government is formed. The part, played by the Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin at the Carlton club meeting has brought his name into great prominence, and it is thought he may be Chancellor of the Exchequer in the new Conservative ministry. He has been president of the Board of Trade and parliamentary private secretary to Bonar Law. A point of considerable interest in the new situation is the fate of the Irish Constitution in the British Parliament. It is not yet known whether Bonar Law, in the event of succeeding in the formation of a Conservative ministry will decide upon an immediate appeal to the country, or whether he will attempt to carry on the government and pass needful Irish legislation. If he adopts the latter plan there will be no difficulty in getting the Irish Constitution ratified for, although the 'die hards,' who are mainly responsible for today's developments, are strongly against the coalition's Irish policy, it is said they will not attempt to disturb the settlement already made under the treaty. FIGHT LIKE TONIC TO EX-PREMIER Mrs. Lloyd George., addressing a political meeting in London tonight, said her husband's health and spirits both improved when he is engaged in a fight—it is like a tonic to him. "I am always pleased when there is a fight going on.," she declared, "because he gives me far less trouble." Thirteen Unionist members of the late government, including Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead, the Earl of Balfour, Sir Robert Horne, Sir Laundry Worthington-Evans and Lord Lescent a manifesto to the press tonight paying tribute to Lloyd George's invaluable services to the country and protesting against the decision of the Carlton club meeting as unwise and un grateful to Lloyd George. They declare they will refuse to carry such a message to the Prime Minister. READY FOR APPEAL TO COUNTRY All the election machinery is ready the moment the signal is given for an appeal to the country. The new House of Lords will be the smallest since the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland as the setting up of the two Parliaments in Ireland withdraws Irish representation from Westminster. The present House of Commons consists of 707 members, but the new Parliament will have only 615 members. Very noticeable at the Carlton club meeting was the divergence of views among the Conservatives with regard to the policy to be pursued towards hordb. Bonar Law being imbued with none of the fears expressed by Mr. Chamberlain concerning the possible advent of a Socialist Labor government. John Robert Clynes labor leader, in an interview tonight, said all the plans and preparations of his party were complete and ready for a general election at any moment. He added that the resignation of the government was the only thing it had done in the last three years and now, as always, the government had acted on compulsion. OPEN LETTER Ichthomel, Va., U. S. A. My Dear Mr. Editor: I have just read with regret, that Mr. Marcus Garvey of New York City has been arrested by Federal authorities for alleged misuse of the mails of which I truly hope that he can prove his innocence as it is no benefit to any one to have him suffer such a humiliation. I am not an enemy to any thing pertaining to the Garvey movement, otter than what I mentioned in my letter of October 22, 1921. I oppose his back-to-Africa propaganda, upon the grounds of civil rights and obligations and if he was very wise, he would have well understood this and forseen the great complication and sacrifice it would uselessly bring upon the race; and even himself, should he attempt to put it into execution. I have written him more than one letter to this effect, warning him not to forget the territorial rights and obligations. I have no objections whatever to his making money, so long as he does not handicap or embarrass the vital interest of the people. They can give him all the money they wish but please spare their lives and liberty and do not get between a man and his government, if possible to avoid it. As these rights and obligations are very sacred indeed to all who have a reasonable conception of their importance. I could have been well employed in certain government-service—even in the U. S. A., were I so greedy as most people generally are. Since I have been the means of others being so employed, I have practiced what I preach even when it might be of considerable importance to me, financially, to do otherwise. I thank God, that com monly speaking I know how to work for a living, in several ways, and I only enter my protest upon these grounds. I also am aware that my personal rights can best be secured with the security of that of general society. I do not expect to get to heaven in the arms of the Devil, therefore I refuse such things as would unnecessarily oblige me to him. -I. S. MOORE. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately three hundred individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the holders of Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vitally interested in retaining the confidence of the colored people of this community and the good opinion of the white and colored people of the United States, are waiting. They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God, let us re-open the Bank. ```markdown ``` head—old oil fields come back Some oil fields whose dwindling out put seems to show that they must soon be abandoned may yield more oil in the future than in the past, and others that seem dead are likely to be resurrected, according to K. C. Heuld, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior who finds abundant evidence to support those statements in recent discoveries and developments, as well as in work done by the Survey. RESUSCITATION OF THE TIDIOUTE FIELD. Only a short time ago most oil operators looked upon the old Tididou field, in Warren County, Pa., as a field with little present and less future importance. Such wells as were being pumped yielded insignificant amounts of oil, and the general opinion was that the field had been so thoroughly drilled that further exploitation would be futile. One man, however refusing to share the general opinion, clung obstinately to the idea that the early drilling had not conclusively proved that the deep sands below the beds from which the wells were producing were barren of oil. Awaiting his opportunity he drilled a deep well, his regarding both skepticism and ridicule, and on August 5, 1922, when his drill bit into the Queen sand, 770 feet below the sand which had up to that time yielded most of the oil in the district, he obtained a flow of oil that advanced his critics and restored to importance one of the oldest producing fields in Pennsylvania. This new well in an old field yielded 500 barrels a day and was not only the best well drilled in the district but one of the most productive wells drilled in recent years in the State. GUSHER IN THE OLD UNITY FIELD This successful well in the Tldiote field was still fresh in the minds of PATIENTLY WAITING. 'And it being represented to the Court that the closing of said bank by the plaintiff was because of the presence in its assets of obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further represented to the Court that there is a reasonable prospect of the defendant being able, within a short time, of satisfying the plaintiff as to said obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., and as to the entire solvency of said bank, it is further ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, together with a statement of the assets and liabilities of said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the defendants, or others on its behalf, with a view of satisfying the requirements of the plaintiff and effecting a prompt discharge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va. to its proper authorities.' the operators in Pennsylvania whom another old Field in the State "came back" with an even larger producer. This well, in the Unity field, Allegheny County which gushed at the rate of more than 1,400 barrels a day and took the title of "the biggest well of the year in Pennsylvania," again proved that drilling in old fields is likely to pay if it is intelligently directed. SOIL OF PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA, IS SURVEYED. Nearly all the upland soils of Pittsburgh County, Virginia, are easy to handle and could readily be made more productive by the addition of stable or green manure and lime, deeper plowing, more frequent shallow cultivation, and the rotation of crops. This is a nut of the purely practical advice contained in the soil survey report on are recently completed by the United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. The survey describes and locates on colored maps as many as 30 distinct soil types, varying from clay to rough and stony mountain soil useful only for forests. More than 50 per cent of the soil of the county belongs to the Ceell series which is predominant throughout the entire Piedmont Plateau. Tobacco, corn, wheat and cowpeas do well on these soils. The county which is a little more than 1,000 square miles in extent, is primarily agricultural and has been since colonial days. The principal crops are tobacco, corn, wheat, oats, cowpeas and crimson clover. Tobacco is the cash crop and has increased greatly in acre age in recent years, partly at the expense of oats. Cowpeas and crimson clover are growing in popularity and more interest is being taken in live stock, especially hogs. The terrace and bottom lands and some of the up lands are adapted to the use of modern farm machinery, but nearly 50 per cent of the wheat is still harvested with the cradle. This survey; in common with many others issued from time to time by the department; contains; in addition to facts about the soils, a mass of interesting information on local industries, roads, railroads, mines, water power, crops, schools, markets, climate weather, farm practices, labor, tenancy, land values and history. Copies of the report may be had free by addressing the department at Washington, D. C. --- WIDOW GRANTED $1,000.00 FOR HUSBAND'S DEATH. --- (Preston News Service) Memphis, Teen., Oct. 27.—A jury in Judge Capell's court last week Wednesday returned a judgment of $1,000 against the Turner Day-Woodworth Handle Company in favor of Mrs. Corinne Mayweathers, who was suing for $10,000 for the death of her husband. Mayweathers was employed by the defendant company at the time of his death in 1918, from an accident result from a saw breaking loose. A curious feature of the case was that Mrs. Mayweathers, who brought the suit was not in court when the case was called and her attorneys stated they did not know where she is at the press ent time. Mrs. Mayweathers will have to be located before the judgment can go into effect. --- FOUR DEAD IN TRAIN CRASHES (Preaton Newa Service) Verbena, Ala., Oct. 27.—Two separate accidents at the same railroad crossing in the edge of town last Tuesday cost JOHN MITCHELL.

FIVE ```markdown ``` ILLOYD GEORGE AND CABINET QUIT BRIISH SHIP OF STATE. --- London Oct. 19.—After holding the office of the most critical years of Brittoffco of Prime Minister through seven of the mots critical years of war and four years of reconstruction—David Lloyd George went into "the wilderness" today. This was the description in his Manchester speech of his position if the Unionist wing of his followers should desert him. Unionist withdrawal from the coalition was decided upon today by the meeting which Austen Chamberlain had called at the Carlton Club and which was attended by the coalition members of the House of Commons and a handful of Lords who were enrolled in the Cabinet. CHAMBERLAIN POLICY BEATEN The vote was 186 to 67 against the Chamberlin policy of pledging the party to sustain the coalition and in favor of a general election to confirm its course. The meeting was followed by a succession of swift events, which carried the coalition government into outer darkness. Andrew Bonar Law will put on the Prime Minister's mantle for a short term of office. The King summoned him to Buckingham late this evening and invited him to form a new government which Bonar Law will undertake although the state of his health, which competed him to withdraw from public life a few months ago, makes it a risky venture. Before Bonar Law can formally accept the premiership, however, a meeting of the Unionist party must be held to elect a new leader to carry out the pledge to be decided by caucus. This meeting will be held within a few days when Bonar Law will be chosen. AN AFTERNOON OF RUMORS Between the Carlton Club meeting and Bonar Law's visit to the King, it was a seething afternoon of rumors and a group gathering among the political factions. Austen Chamberlain first visited the Prime Minister's official residence in Downing street as had been expected to offer his resignation; several under-secretaries and the chief coalition Unionist whip, Lieutenant Art Leslie Wilson, had already informed the newspapers that they had resigned and within two hours Lloyd George was in possession of the resignations of practically all the members of the Cabinet. He then drove to palace to tender them to the King. Lloyd George advised the King to summon Bonar Law and according to custom, this was done. While Lloyd George exhibited cheerfulness to the few who saw him and cheered him on his journey to the palace, he could not but feel deeply the verdict that he no longer commanded support of the majority of the Unionist party, which for the past few months had furnished the strongest material for his Cabinet.

The last straw which weighed in the scale was the Newport election, in which a straight Unionist candidate won on a platform of opposition to the coalition and all its work, although the politicians thought the Labor party had a safe prospect in that constituency. CURZON TO BE CABINET PILLAR Bonar Law will have Lord Curzon, for one of the pillars of his Cabinet. Curzon remained away from the courts today, but sent a letter of protest against the exclusion of the lords. One result of today's upheaval is a split in the Unionist party, which makes its fortunes doubtful. A strong group of the old Cabinet Unionists remain true to their leader, Mr. Chamberlain, the Earl of Balfour, lor. Birkenhead, Sir Laming Worthington Evans and Sir Iphbert Stevenson Horne follow Lloyd George into the wilderness and many workers in the party ranks are likely to go with them. The preclucts of the solemn gray old Carlton Club, which has sheltered much history-making in its time, afforded the London crowd which never fails freely to express its sentiments towards notables, a distinct scene of excitement. The Earl of Balfour who had only to walk around the corner from his house, was one of the fortunate who got nothing but cheers. Mr Chamberlain was loudly hooted when he appeared, from a feeling that no was not playing the game. Two or three lesser lights also provided unpopular. Some hothead loudly and repeatedly cried "Judas" as Birkenhead ascended the steps. Club attendants stood on the steps to separate those who had cards of admission from those who tried to force their way in, standing on their rights as members. There were half a dozen of these belligerents including Lord Chaplain, one of the oldest Unionists and one of the oldest members of the club. Some compromised by entering the lower floor, others retired after exchanging warm remarks with their clubmates among ticket holders. A meeting of the Carlton Club to discuss the rights of members is on the slate for the near future. Lloyd George and Mr. Chamberlain presided, respectively, over meetings of the coalition Liberal and coalition Unionists members of the government, discussing future policy. Lloyd George will make his first speech as "ex-Promier" tomorrow at Guildhall on the occasion of London's official welcome home to the Prince of Wales, but he is expected to reservo his real political manifesto for Saturday's meeting at Leeds. REGARDED VICTORY FOR YOUNGER Today's events may be regarded as constituting a great victory for Sir George Younger who upset George's plans for a Feb. election and has now been the cause of his resignation. Lloyd George will continue to hold his seat of office to carry on current business until the new government is formed. The part played by the Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin at the Carlion club meeting has brought his name into great prominence, and it is thought he may be Chancellor of the Exchequer in the new Conservative ministry. He has been president of the Board of Trade and parliamentary private secretary to Bonar Law. A point of considerable interest in the new situation is the fate of the Irish Constitution in the British Parliament. It is not yet known whether Bonar Law, in the event of succeeding in the formation of a Conservative ministry will decide upon an immediate appeal to the country, or whether he will attempt to carry on the government and needful Irish legislation. If he adopts the latter plan there will be no difficulty in getting the Irish Constitution ratified for, although the 'die hards," who are mainly responsible for today's developments, are strongly against the coalition's Irish policy, it is said they will not attempt to disturb the settlement already made under the treaty. FIGHT LIKE TONIC TO EX-PREMIER Mrs. Lloyd George., addressing a political meeting in London tonight, said her husband's health and spirits both improved when he is engaged in a fight—it is like a tonic to him. "I am always pleased when there is a fight going on," she declared, "because he gives me for less trouble." gives me far less trouble. Thirteen Unionist members of the late government, including Mr. Chamberslain, Lord Birkenhead, the Earl of Balfour, Sir Robert Horne, Sir Laird Worthington-Evans and Lord Lesent a manifesto to the press tonight paying tribute to Lloyd George's invaluable services to the country and protesting against the decision of the Carlton club meeting as unwise and ungrateful to Lloyd George. They declare they will refuse to carry such a message to the Prime Minister. READY FOR APPEAL TO COUNTRY All the election machinery is ready the moment the signal is given for an appeal to the country. The new House of Lords will be the smallest since the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland as the setting up of the two Parliaments in Ireland withdrawal Irish representation from Westminster. The present House of Commons consists of 707 members, but the new Parliament will have only 615 members. Very noticeable at the Carlton club meeting was the divergence of views among the Conservatives with regard to the policy to be pursued towards la hord. Bonar Law being imbued with none of the fears expressed by Mr Chamberlain concerning the possible advent of a Socialist Labor government. John Robert Clynes labor leader, in an interview tonight, said all the plans and preparations of his party were complete and ready for a general election at any moment. He added that the resignation of the government was the only thing it had done in the last three years and now, as always, the government had acted on compulsion. OPEN LETTER. Bahia, Brazil. February 21, 1922. To The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U. S. A. My Dear Mr. Editor:—I have just read with regret, that Mr. Marcus Garvey of New York City has been arrested by Federal authorities for alleged misuse of the mails of which I truly hope that he can prove his innocence as it is no benefit to any one to have him suffer such a humiliation. I am not an enemy to any thing pertaining to the Garvey movement, other than what I mentioned in my letter of October 22, 1921. I oppose his back-to-Africa propaganda, upon the grounds of civil rights and obligations and if he was very wise, he would have well understood this and forseen the great complication and sacrifice it would uselessly bring upon the race; and even himself, should he attempt to put it into execution. I have written him more than one letter to this effect, warning him not to forget the territorial rights and obligations. I have no objections whatever to his making money, so long as he does not handicap or embarrass the vital interest of the people. They can give him all the money they wish but please spare their lives and liberty and do not get between a man and his government, if possible to avoid it. As these rights and obligations are very sacred indeed to all who have a reasonable conception of their importance, I could have been well employed in certain government-service—even in the U. S. A., were I so greedy as most people generally are. Since I have been the means of others being so employed, I have practiced what I preach even when it might be of considerable importance to me, financially, to do otherwise. I thank God, that com monly speaking I know how to work for a living, in several ways, and I only enter my protest upon these grounds. I also am aware that my personal rights can best be secured with the security of that of general society. I do not expect to get to heaven in the arms of the Devil, therefore I refuse such things as would unnocessarily obligate me to him. --I. S. MOORE. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately three hundred individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the holders of Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vitally interested in retaining the confidence of the colored people of this community and the good opinion of the white and colored people of the United States, are waiting. They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God. let us re-open the Bank. --- head-old oil fields come back Some oil fields whose dwindling out put seems to show that they must soon be abandoned may yield more oil in the future than in the past, and others that seem dead are likely to be resurrected, according to K. C. Heald, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior who finds abundant evidence to support these statements in recent discoveries and developments, as well as in work done by the Survey. RESUSCITATION OF THE TIDIOUTE FIELI Only a short time ago most oil operators looked upon the old Tidioutc field, in Warren County, Pa., as a field with little present and less future importance. Such wells as were being pumped yielded insignificant amounts of oil, and the general opion was that the field had been so thoroughly drilled that further exploitation would be futile. One man, however refusing to share the general opion, clung obstinately to the idea that the early drilling had not conclusively proved that the deep sands below the beds from which the wells were producing were barren of oil. Awaiting his opportunity he drilled a deep well, its regard both skepticism and riddle, and on August 5, 1922, when his drill bit into the Queen sand, 770 feet below the sand which had up to that time yielded most of the oil in the district, he obtained a flow of oil that advanced his critics and restored to importance one of the oldest producing fields in Pennsylvania. This new well in an old field yielded 500 barrels a day and was not only the best well drilled in the district but one of the most productive wells drilled in recent years in the State. This successful well in the Tidioute field was still fresh in the minds of PATIENTLY WAITING. 'And it being represented to the Court that the closing of said bank by the plaintiff was because of the presence in its assets of obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further represented to the Court that there is a reasonable prospect of the defendant being able, within a short time, of satisfying the plaintiff as to said obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., and as to the entire solvency of said bank, it is further ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, together with a statement of the assets and liabilities of said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the defendants, or others on its behalf, with a view of satisfying the requirements of the plaintiff and effecting a prompt discharge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va. to its proper authorities.' the operators in Pennsylvania when another old Field in the State "came back" with an even larger producer. This well, in the Unity field, Allegheny County which gushed at the rate of more than 1,400 barrels a day and took the title of "the biggest well of the year in Pennsylvania," again proved that drilling in old fields is likely to pay if it is intelligently directed. --- SOIL OF PITTSVLANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA, IS SURVEYED. --- Nearly all the upland soils of Pittsburgh County, Virginia, are easy to handle and could readily be made more productive by the addition of stable or green manure and lime, deeper plowing, more frequent shallow cultivation and the rotation of crops. This is a lot of the purely practical advice contained in the soil survey report on arq recently completed by the United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. The survey describes and locates on colored maps as many as 30 distinct soil types, varying from clay to rough and stony mountain soil useful only for forests. More than 50 per cent. of the soil of the county belongs to the Cecil series which is predominant throughout the entire Pledmont Plateau. Tobacco, corn, wheat and cowpeas do well on these soils. The county which is a little more than 1,000 square miles in extent, is primarily agricultural and has been since colonial days. The principal crops are tobae, corn, wheat, oats, cowpeas and crimson clover. Tobacco is the cash crop and has increased greatly in acre age in recent years, partly at the expense of oats. Cowpeas and crimson clover are growing in popularity and more interest is being taken in live stock, especially bogs. The terrace and bottom lands and some of the up lands are adapted to the use of modern farm machinery, but nearly 50 per cent of the wheat is still harvested with the cradle. This survey; in common with many others issued from time to time by the department; contains; in addition to facts about the soils, a mass of interesting information on local industries, roads, railroads, mines, water power, crops, schools, markets, climate weather, farm practices, labor, tenancy, land values and history. Copies of the report may be had free by addressing the department at Washington, D. C. WIDOW GRANTED $1,000.00 FOR HUSBAND'S DEATH. (Praeton News Service) Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 27.—A jury in Judge Capell's court late last Wednesday returned a judgment of $1,000 against the Turner Day-Woodworth Handle Company in favor of Mrs. Corelia Mayweathers, who was suing for $10,000 for the death of her husband. Mayweathers was employed by the defendant company at the time of his death in 1918, from an accident result from a saw breaking loose. A curious feature of the case was that Mrs. Mayweathers, who brought the suit was not in court when the case was called and her attorneys stated they did not know where she is at the pres ent time. Mrs. Mayweathers will have to be located before the judgment can go into effect. --- FOUR DEAD IN TRAIN CRASHES (Preston News Service) Verhona, Ala., Oct. 27.—Two separate accidents at the same railroad crossing in the edge of town Inst Tuesday cost JOHN MITCHELL, JR. the lives of fdur persons. The dead are: Albert Pelham, Robert Clarko, Jr. Mrs. Mattio Clarke, all of Verbena, and Roy, Mr. C. A. Atkinson,a Methodist minister of Clanton but pastor of the local church. The mutilated body of Pelham was discovered on the tracks a short time after the Louisville and Nashville Pan American going North had passed here. The coroner held an inquest and turned the body over to Pelham family. It is alleged that Pelham had been under the influence of Liquor and it is thought that while in a drunken stupor he went to sleep on the tracks. The other tragedy had an entirely different setting; although occurring on the same day and in the same spot. Rev. Atkinson the local minister had hold a meeting at his church and after the services he got into the automobile with Mr. and Mrs. Clarke to go home. In attempting to cross the railroad a southbound fast train struck the automobile completely wrecking it and killing the three occupants instantly. --- M. W. D. NORMAN INDORSED TO HEAD NATIONAL BAPTISTS. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Oct. 26.—At a meeting of the local Baptist minister here last Monday Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, was unanimously indorsed for the presidency of the National Baptist Convention to succeed the late Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, who died several months ago. The National Convention will be held in St. Louis, Mo. December 6 to 11 and Baptist ministers throughout the Southeast and northern and eastern sections of the country have pledged themselves to support Dr. Norman for the presidency. Dr. Norman is regarded as one of the leading ministers in the Baptist denomination and his work in Washington has been attended with remarkable success. He is a forceful pulpit orator and a successful pastor. MRS. JOHNSON WANTS HER "JAKY" BACK. (Preston News Service) Lexington, Ky., Oct. 25—Attorneys for Mrs. Annio Lee Johnson filed a motion in Circuit Court last Monday afternoon for the return of 50 gallons of "Jaky" (Moon shino whiskey) poured into the sewers, five months ago. Mrs. Lee Johnson was acquitted Monday in the court on a charge of possessing the whiskey, it being shown the warrant on which seizure was made, was illegal. Her attorneys think Mrs. Johnson should have her liquor back. Judge Stoll said he would consider the motion. WOMAN SENATOR DENOUNCES KU KLUX KLAN. (Preston News Service) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 26.—"The small vote received by Governor Hardwick is the result of the pernicious activities of the Ku Klux Klan in the Atla ta district" declared Mrs. William H. Felton, first woman senator. Mrs. Felton said that members of the klan got hold of the election machinery or Georgia. "Politics will continue to be rotten until the good people of this State wake up and vote in our elections" she said UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DEAD (Preston Newa Service) Castle Shannon, Pa., Oct. 27—An unidentified man was found dead in a shack here last Friday night.

THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. CHAMPION SIKI IS THE GRANDSON OF SLAVE AND WAS EDUCATED BY A GERMAN DANGER SIX '(By Basil Woon.) Paris, Oct. 22—Battling Sikl, who spolled Georges Carpenter's reputation and beauty for all time at Buffalo Stadium. September 24, is a civilized savage just one removed from the jungle. When he tastes blood in the ring the civilization disappears into thin air and the natural science of the wild man comes into play. Sikl's grandmother was a slave captured by Moors in the interior of THE BOXING CLUB Senegal, a region almost as dark as the darkest regions of the Congo. His history does not record whether the old man wore a nose-ring, but his airiness of attire is a recorded fact. Escaping from the Mdors, he fleed to St. Louis, Senegalese port, where he married and where Louis later to develop into Battling Sidi, was born a generation afterward. Louis Fall was born December 10, 1899. From the age of 7 he became a hanger on at the docks, achieving an early reputation as a battler by licking all the kids of his age within a radius of twenty miles. When he was 8 years old he was beging for pennies thrown by passengers of a French liner making port, from Read The Richmond Planet --- Brazil. One of the other boys grabbed a penny Louis thought was his, and Louis swung a straight right and knocked him out. The feat was observed by Freda Stample, a Berlin dancer who was so captivated by the boy that she kidnapped him and took him to live with her at her villa at Marsel les. There she sent him to school. In 1911 the dancer decided to return to Germany and demanded a passport for herself, and Louis, but it was refused by the French on the ground that Louis was a French subject and could not be adopted by a German. So the dancer left 6,000 francs to provide for Louis' needs until he could earn his living, and, departing for Germany passed out of her youthful protoge's life. From then on the boy gravitated naturally to fighting. He became a hang or on at a Marselles boxing academy, and showed such prowess that he was speedily acclaimed champion for his age and weight on the Rivera. In 1914 when Louis—now calling himself Battlegirl Skii—was 15 years old, he enlisted in the French army and in a few months arrived at the front. There he covered himself with glory, and received the Croix de Guerrro and the Military Medal. The war over, he recommenced his fighting and rapidly defeated all the champions of the South of France—Suber Leonard, Auducy—in quick succession. Seeking new worlds to conquer, he came to Paris, where he celebrated his arrival by knocking out Derensky. His next match was with Maurice Lefevre, whom he bent on points in ten rounds, after which he sent Andre Marchand to sleep in the fifth. After that he toured Europe, beating Devos, Lygeet, Westbroeck, De Paus (champion of Belgium) Breiten crutter and G. Spalla. The night of the day Carentier was K.O.d by Dempsey at Jersey City Siki knocked out Pionnier in eight rounds. He then challenged Balzac, whom he sent to the mat in two rounds. His next victory was against Leroy, light-heavyweight champion of Belgium, after which he challenged Carentier. "If he beats Journee and Nilles, Carentier will meet him," stated Descamps, to this demand. So last winter Siki, despite a heavy weight disadvantage, beat Journee. In June of this year he won on points against Nilles, after fifteen rounds. Siki's simian crouch had by this time become famous and Carentier agreed to meet him, all authorities concurring that Siki didn't stand chance. How much of a chance he stood was shown at the sixth round on September 24, when Carpentier, once ring idol of France, was carried away to his dressing-room an insensible bloody mass. Sikit's weight when he stepped into the ring against Carpentier was 174 pounds. He says he can make 182. He is 5 feet 11 3-4 inches tall and his do volvement is almost exactly equal to that of Carpentier. ence to certain ancient aristocratic customs of the old world. You need to kick aristocracy to a certain degree out of the minds of the American colored man altogether and substitute it with a wholesome spirit of social democracy. It was the aristocracy of the old world that ruined it. Aristocracy is an extreme which must be counter-balanced by a contrary extreme condition in the masses to give it its needed support. Mercial nation. In order to find it once the wobbly hence, better people need equality to tions. To The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir—I truly hope that by this time all of your difficu- ties with inspectors have been regu- lated and that you are feeling none the worst from your experience; and if so I wish to say to you, that you must learn to take adversities calmly, es- pecially when you know that you have done your duty and have the proofs, for it at hand. That advertisement should bring you within six months, the remainder of a million ($1,000,000 dollars in deposits and increase your business from (25 per cent. to 100 per cent.) twenty-five to one hundred per- cent. You might have had greater reasons to fear ten or twenty years ago, when the leading colored people were less informed about greater projects and were hardly making enough money to live on and a few jealous-minded and short-sighted critics were making their fortunes in disclaying the worthy enter prising people of your race. The public is coming out of that spell of enchantment, and is beginning to learn how to appreciate a colored man for his worth; and not for his selfishness and glaring hypocrisy. What the people needed then as they do oyen now, is a better education and a closer touch with other people of the world; a chance to earn more money and to enjoy it better. In other words, to expand themselves in a man becoming to good citizens and not that old very low-down way some of them thought it necessary to practice against the masses of their own people in order to advance. Instead of adhering to strictly to the uses and customs of your Virginians, you should give more study to the Colonies of Pennsylvania. Now York, and especially that of New England which seems to be so badly misunderstood by your colored people of Virginia. These colonies have produced your greatest men of the type which has attracted universal attention to the U.S. A. as a class of men unique in history, "the self made man!" Ohio and Illinois also have done well along this line of product. While Mary land and Virginia have been greatly handled by too strong an adher ence to certain ancient aristocratic customs of the old world. You need to klick aristocracy to a certain degree out of the minds of the American colored men altogether and substitute it with a wholesome spirit of social moracy. It was the aristocracy of the old world that ruined it. Aristocracy is an extreme which must be counter-balanced by a contrary extreme condition in the masses to give it its needed support. Hence the masses must be kept in ignorance and surf-dom and even slavery to support the few who must play the roll of aristocrats and as great learning is necessary to the aristocrat. It is not always that he is able to hold his own from this point of view; which is most given to him in theory and hypothesis; but very little in practice from the fact, that he must not engage in practical things if in war. It is this class who has thrown the Africans and Asiatics at the face of all the world; while possessing unexplored recesses of wealth. It was the aristocracy of the Ameri can Indians which kept them eternally divided into warring tribes of destruction while not having the time nor the inclination to stop and provide the necessary comforts of life; such as descent cities with comfortable homes in which to live; clothing and food in quantities and conditions suit able to a cultured people. Such a life forbids a commercial intercourse among strangers; and consequently none of the necessary conveniences for the same. It is very easy to understand, then, how these people permitted themselves to be forced into indulence and depravity. Africa, for a long time uphold the most ideal forms of democratic government; which were finally over thrown and supplanted by aristocracy, which in turn destroyed all that man had achieved as art and science, during the long years of sacrifice, etc. The proud Africans became so reduced, that the weak Europeans could come into their countries in bands and catch the natives and sell them into slavery in other countries. In some cases the natives themselves would do the catching and sell their own brethren for a sum too ridiculous to mention; hence, set your face firm against aristocracy; but in favor of social and political democracy and help to teach your people the absolute need of making themselves the competitors of others in every sense and word of progress and reciprocity. Then there is no need of separating yourselves from other people in your country any more than the economical inter-change demands; and never try to separate yourselves from a government to whom you must pay taxes and obey its legislations. Therefore, see a greater and a more liberal representation for your people in all walks of life; while teaching them the advantage of not doing without the comforts of life which are necessary, but how to obtain these things in abundance by great co-operative enterprises of a productive and a distributive or com- mercial nature. In order to best do this, one will find it necessary to study and practice some of every thing that pertains to the well-being of man and beast; hence, better leadership is what the people need. I am yours for absolute equality to all, under similar conditions. -I. S. MOORE P. S.—The future weal or woes of the colored race, greatly depend upon the protection and education given to the children. No honest man should tolerate any propaganda that would un-necessarily prevent the very great possible development of his children. Nor should any child tolerate one that tends to deprive its parents of any of the rights common to society in their day. A careful study of these two principles will teach one, all the basic principles of human progress. The Negroes, the world over, show too little interest in his women and children and this begets a disinterest in the parents by the childry. Mr. Mitchell has often made the sad mistake of referring to domestic employees as a representative class of colored people. No domestic employee can reserve its personal dignity or integrity against the will of its employers. A domestic employee in accepting such a position has admitted an extreme state of dependence; and the employer does not have to offer such an employee any good recommendations of its moral behavior; and it is rare that a girl can live as a private servant in a family or families, for years and escape certain snaires set for just such a person, because if it does not come from her masters or at their will and convenience; she is too greatly exposed to the association and will of other unscrupulous people, who may be just as ignorant as she is; and for the young man who for years is compelled to submit to the will of others as a domestic, rarely ever recovers the spirit of independence and confidence in himself necessary to a competitive person. Here is one of the little things I have longed often to tell Mr. Mitchell and the one from which other people judge him and his race. Employers, even of doubtful characters themselves, never respect one of their domestics as an equal, neither morally nor socially and if by chance the servant should rise to greater estate the impression is very little changed in all; hence it is the public that must stand firm for the rights and protections of the domestic; even when the public is permitted to know when a domestic is abused. A servant's word is seldom accepted in contradiction of its master if ever; and there you are! We often withhold many useful truths in order to not be unpleasant; but the time has come to educate the public or we all must fall. —I. S. MOORE.

J., Oct. 19.—Early last Tuesday evening a 13 year old boy, James Brown, stood before Recorder Curry and pleaded guilty to the theft of $15 from Miss May Dixon, a school teacher. A few hours later his mungled body was found on the tracks of the Lackawanna Railroad, where he had been killed. The police believe that in a fit of childish remorse, the boy threw himself in front of a train. The boy's body was discovered lying across the tracks by L. E. Berry after midnight. Berry is a railroad engineer. He could not hit his train in time to avoid striking the body. It is said that the body was cold at the time, however, and it is believed that young Brown had been killed by a train that passed over his body about an hour earlier. Brown was arrested at the request of Mrs. Kate Robinson a truant officer. It is alleged that he had taken the money from Miss Dixon's pocketbook at the school. The lnd was found attempting to buy a ticket to a moving picture show and arrested. The officer found the pocketbook in the boy's possession and took him to headquarters. Recorder Curry directed the boy to report at police headquarters for sixty nights and pay five cents each night, and to attend Church and Sunday School for a year and to go with the Chief of Police that very night to the school and apologize to Miss Dixon. It is said that after leaving the court room the boy did not go home, but is supposed to have wandered about town for several hours. He lived with his father and sister, his mother being dead, in Belmont avenue and would not have had to cross the railroad tracks to get home. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE'S CARD Having accepted the nomination for Congress from the First Congressional District of Virginia, I deem it proper to set forth, briefly, a declaration of principles for which I stand, and on which I appeal for the suffrage of the women and men—my fellow-citizens of the entire district. 1. I accept, without reservation, the National Party platform as proclaimed in the last Convention at Chicago, and shall endeavor to carry into effect in all my acts, the principles therein set forth; 2. I stand for the Republican Doctrine of civil and political equality of all men, irrespective of race, creed or color, and I denounce as utterly American all attempts to exclude any class of citizenry from participation in the politics and policies of the Gov'erment, except for crime of which the party shall have been duly tried and convicted: 3. Because the Republican Party is pledged to lend its support to the building up of a strong merchant marine, I stand for a Ship Subsidy, as planned by President Harding, backed up by the platform of the Republican Party; 4. Finally, I stand for the principle of all men up and not some men down, and to that end I shall welcome the votes of all citizens, black and white, who believe with me that all men are born free and equal, and are entitled to aspire, in all honorable fashion, to any office eligible to men and women in the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." —DR., J. J. JONES. HORSES MADDENED BY HORNETS NEARLY KILL FARMER. Bride, Unable to Save Viotim, Drives Colts at Gallop to Bring Aid. Fond Du Lac, Wis., Oct. 20—Emmet Hagen a young farmer living near here went to the burn last night to hitch a team to take his bride to a barn dance, and when hanging his lantern on a peg, knocked down a no-not's nest. He was badly stung and also it was learned today, suffered three broken ribs, a badly contused head and lost two horses he had bought the day before. Hornets came out of the nest like a black cloud and swarmed all over the horses, which soon kicked their sails down and kicked Hagen in the head, knocking him unconscious. Mrs. Hagen, dressing for the dance, heard the stampede and run to the barn. Unable to pass the plunging horses to reach her husband, she hitched a pair of colts to the wagon and lashing them into gallop, drove a mile and a half along a dark road to arouse neighbors. The horses had destroyed almost everything in the barn except the lantern when help arrived and the neighbors stood outside and threw bricks at that until it was knocked out. One crawled in and rescued Hagen who is expected to survive. The horses were shot. MOB BREAKS INTO JAIL, KILL TWO PRISONERS.

The teens battled up and down the field and it appeared to be certain that the game would end 3-0 in Shaw's favor. But the combination of Ammon, Cogbill and Tupponce was too much for the Carolinians. Kirk Cogbill, forward pass flend, floated on the surface of the water and grabbed a long pass from Ammons and ran 14 yards, depositing the ball 15 yards from goal. Johnson tore off two yards thru tackle, Tupponce dived two and on the next play Battleship Ammons steamed thru the muddy waters for six yards and a touchdown. A. S. C. made eleven first downs, four successful passes and changed three players. Shaw made six first downs, one successful pass and two players wore changed. The locals outplayed the collegians in every department of the game except kicking. Shaw lost her stronghold when Coach Hucles, who was playing half back, was forced to retire from the game. He had made a long end run for about 20 yards and was run over by one of his men after he had been tackled. This was the best game seen here this season. ..A. S. C M. Walker L. E. E. Mohinson L. T.

In a game characterized by much unnecessary contention on the part of the visiting team and by poor work on the part of the officials the Shaw aggregation triumphed over the local boys by the score of 9 to nothing. In the first few minute of play after Shaw received the kick-off on her twenty yard line, the Shaw backs began a series of plunges together with a later at mass which carried the ball to the Petersburg twenty yard line. Then began another series of the bucks and smashes and finally Taylor the Shaw full back crashed thru Center for the only touchdown of the game. Then began an endless contention on the part of Shaw to delay the game and prevent the terrible onslaught on the Potersburg backs. Nicholas received the ball for Petersburg on her twenty-five yard line and returned it twenty yards. Then Turner the big Petersburg half-back raced around right end and carried the ball to the Shaw ten yard line. Again came an outburst of contention from the Shaw team and the coach and the first quarter ended with the ball on Shaw's ten yard line. Shaw then held fast and though it seemed as if the ball was carried over the goal line the officials called it first down for Shaw with the ball on her 1 yard line. Once again Doles caught a forward pass on the Shaw goal line and the ball was punched from his hand by a Shaw player yet the officials failed to see it that way and the pass was in complete. In the last half the Petersburg backs ramped thru the Shaw defense at will but were unable to score. Shaws other three points came as a result of a pretty drop-kick by Williams on the Petersburg thirty-five yard line.
