MOTON URGES RACE CO-OPERATION IN SPEECH HERE "The time has come when both blacks and whites must be more frank in their dealings with each other," Dr. Robert R.

L., wife of the late Robert N. Brooks, received her summons from the Angel Doath to report to the Great Beyond. Even before her last illness, she had knowledge of the approaching end of her existence and expressed freely to her relatives her wishes as to her funeral and burial. Ever shall we remember the hours spent at her bedside during her illness. She was fully conscious of being "On her way to Canaan's Land," and did not fall to advise us in the songs she sang, "Look and Live," "Flee As a Bird to the Mountain," "You Shall Recap Just What You Sow," and "How Happy are They Who Their Savior Obey." The funeral services were held Sunday, November 19, at the First Baptist Church at 1:00 P. M. Her pastor, Dr. W. T. Johnson, preached from the text, "Be ye also ready, for ye know not the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh." He portrayed in a most vivid and impressive way the preparedness of this bold soldier of God, ending in the beautiful but pathetic strains of, "Jesus Will Make It All Right," which Mrs. Brooks sang over and over, day and night, during her illness. Mrs. Carrie V. Hawkins sent a message ringing into the hearts of the audience, as she sang, "Flee As a Bird to the Mountain." Many and beautiful were the floral designs coming from far and near. Among those who served were: Messrs. St. Joseph Giphn, A. V. Norrell, Sr. Ed. R. Carter and James H. Twine, honorary pathearers and Messrs. W. S. Singleton, J. Milton Dilson, James H. Barrett, James R. Chiles, Hezekiah Curtis, S. S. Baker and Christopher Kemp, active pathearers. Lotters and telegrams brought regrets from relatives and friends, who could not attend the funeral. The ease and comfort experienced by the deceased during her illness was due wholly to the faithful and efficient service rendered by her nurse, Mrs. Gertrude Taylor, the medical skill of her physician, Dr. M. B. Jones and the thoughtfulness of a host of friends and relatives. The family is indeed grateful to all who helped lighten their burdens and also to the undertakers. W. I.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS TEST information ING APPEAL IN NOTE WITH THAT LACK OF LAW MPEACHES U. S. ABROAD (By N. B. Dodson) Durchm. N. C., November 28.—Following in the wake of the great national effort now being made by Colored American citizens and their friends of the Caucasian race to have the Deer Anti-Lynch Bill enacted into law by the United States Senate comes this spring, co-operative appeal to the South to stamp out mob violence, by Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School in this city. In his memorial to the South, Dr. Shepard says: "The ravening mobs of Georgia and Texas, the closing of the door of conscience in the breasts of those in authority, the damning of the stream of mercy that should flow always and ever in the life of every civilized man in this Christian country, makes the black man again knock at the door of a white man's justice. There is nowhere else for the Southern Negro to go. How futile to look to any other part of the country to superimpose a government upon the actions of the South when it has its own self-imposed laws. "It men who make solemn oath to support the laws which they in their sovereign power have written, will not enforce them, how can we expect any other influence to exercise any control? And so to it to the conscience of the South we appeal once again. Every Negro in America feels more deeply than he should be made to share, the humiliation which one crime and one criminal can bring to the race. "But, I submit that with no laws of our own with which to punish, no officers to run down criminals and no courts in which to try our outlaws and derollics, it is asking much of us to make impossible such crimes as Texas and Georgia have so recently committed by removing the cause. When a black man murders or outrages, he serves no notice on the leaders of his race. They know nothing of it until the crime is done and he has fallen into the hands of his white sheriffs and governors, and once there, by every condition of chivalry the Negro is entitled to the white man's protection. The law which invests the guittest with the presumption of innocence is the Anglo-Saxon's law. "I appeal again passionately to the Anglo-Saxon conscience. It is generally aroused easily and its possessor is generally fair. I appeal to the ministers and educators of my race to carry the Negro's case to the white man's conscience and I beg the ministers, the educators and the white leaders everywhere to assist us in arousing that conscience. Lynching must be stopped in the South and by southern white people. "If it could be stopped by anybody else on God's green earth the South would lose the moral, to which a gain so great would entitle our people. This is our sectional sin for which there is no vicarious atonement. The South must stop its mob violence or the mob will ruin the South. "Our civilization stands impeached in the courts of all the civilized world. Crimes which long since have been too horrible even for the heart of Central Africa, are with impunity committed by thousands, who claim the blessings of the most orthodox Christianity and the laws of the purest blooded patriotism. "In the name of that Christ who sees and knows all and punishes all sin alike. I appeal for justice and mercy" COLORED LAWYERS GAINING RECOGNITION IN THE HIGHER COURTS. On November 8th, on the motion of Mr. Wm. F. Denny, attorneys Harry M. Green, of this City and B. F. Harris, of Petersburg, were admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, On November 15, on motion of the Honorable Wm. H. Richards, of the Law Department of Howard University, Mr. Wm. F. Denny was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. It is interesting to note that Mr. Denny was the only colored man in the group and there were forty-one white men admitted at that time. ANTI-LYNCHING SENTIMENT FAST GAINING GROUND; 22 INDICTMENTS IN GEORGIA. TWO Alanta, Ga., Nov. 14.—That there has been a surprising increase of antlynching sentiment in Georgia recently and a growing determination on the part of Georgia people that the sanctity of the law must be upheld, was clearly indicated in reports made to the State Committee on Race Relations in its recent semi-annual meeting in this city. It was pointed out that during the present year twenty-two indictments have been returned against alleged lynchers and four convictions secured, carrying penitentiary sentences. Fifteen of these cases are still to be tried most of them on the charge of murder, besides a number of damaged suits growing out of injuries and losses inflicted by moles. The carrying case both the deputy sheriff and the chief of police are under indictment. The significance of these facts was emphasized by the statement that in the 37 years ending with 1921 there had been 430 lynchings in Georgia and that record of only one indictment in all that time had been found. The State and county race relations committees have been active in a number of recent cases, conducting investigations, securing evidence, and otherwise supporting local officials in their efforts to vindicate the law. The need of an effective anti-lynching law in the State was stressed, and the responsibility for drafting and getting such a bill before the next legislature was delegated to a committee of enlisted jurists headed by Judge Samuel B. Adams, of Savannah. WITNESS TO ATTACK TALE OF MRS. HALL. New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 14—Wilbur A. Murray, Mott, Special Deputy Attorney-General in charge of the prosecution of the Halls-Mills murder case, will call several new witnesses hitherto unheard of in connection with the case, when the Grand Jury takes up the matter next week and sensational developments are promised if what is disclosed before the Grand Jury becomes generally known. One witness, it is understood, will testify that on the night of the murder—September 14—Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the vector of the church of St. John the Evangelist, rushed from the front door of her home about 8 o'clock in the evening to the house occupied by his cousin, Henry Carpenter, a block distant, Henry Carpenter is ill in the hospital here, have been operated upon yesterday for appendicitis. The testimony of this witness, when given, will be in direct contradiction to statements made from time to time by Mrs. Hall. It is learned on high authority that Mr. Mott has this information and a witness to testify to it at the Grand Jury sessions. Mrs. Hall has said more than once that she remained in her own house the whole of the evening of the murder, from the time Hall left home, a little before 8 o'clock until she started to hunt for blim with her brother Willie after 2 o'clock in the morning. DENIAL BY MRS. HALL'S LAWYER When Timothy N. Pfeffer, counsel for Mrs. Hall was told tonight that Mr. Mott had the information mentioned, he said: "That story is untrue. Mrs. Hall had been playing with her little niece, Frances Voorhees, and two children of Edwin Carpenter. The Carpenter children went home before Hall left the house. Mrs. Hall continued playing with a jig-saw puzzle with little Frances as she has said, until she put the child to bed, some time after 9 o'clock. She did not leave the house that evening, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carpenter, as they have said, went to the office. J. K. Rice in Highland Park, Pennsylvania, and remained there until early 10:30 in the evening. This is corroborated by Mr. Fleicher's wife." The events of Carpenter and Rice have been published and agreed with Mr. Pfeiffer's statement. Henry Carpenter has never been called for examination by the authorities. Mr. Mott made known some of his plans today for the Grand Jury presentation next week confirming the statements made exclusively in this morning's New York Herald as to the witnesses that will be called. Dr. Long who performed the autopsy; Pearl Bahmer and Raymond Schneider, who found the bodies; Policeman Curran and Garrigan of the New Brunswick police force, and George Totten, comy detective, will be about the flies wounded. The same day, Mott will meet the Mrs. Edward Stricker, whose home the police were in formed by telephone of the finding of the bodies and Frank M. Diener, a newspaper man here who saw the bodies soon after they were found. On the second day Mr. Mott will attempt to establish the motive for the crime and to this end he expects to present to the Grand Jury the original of the letters that passed between Hall and Mrs. Mills. He has the letters the woman wrote to the rector and he expects to get from a newspaper the letters that Hall wrote to the choir singer from Maine in August and the diary that Hall kept during that period and later gave to Mrs. Mills. In addition to establishing the relationship between Hall and Mrs. Mills, Mott will attempt to convince the Chancellor that Mrs. Hall knew of this relationship. This is the rector's wife has stoutly called time and again. To prove his contention, Mott will call members of the choir members of the congregation that wore the Point Pleasant outing early in the summer, where a quarrel between Hall and his wife is understood to have taken place and probably Mrs. Addison Clarke, so-called friend of Mrs. Mills, who was a member of the party that went to Lake Honatecah the day before the murder. He may call also Rulpt V. M. Gorsline, vestryman. Mr. Mott made it evident today that he is not certain of clear sailing with the Grand Jury. He appreciates that with a local favorite son, Azarian Beck man, contending the evidence is not sufficient for an indictment the Grand Jury, jointly and severally, may prove bally. When he was asked how long, approximately he thought the presentation of the case would take he said that would depend on circumstances. He continued: "This is a country Grand Jury and they have already distinguished them selves from a city Grand Jury by deciding to work from 10 in the morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon in stead of 2:30 until 5 o'clock as in the city. Apparently they mean business. SOME JURIES MOTT HAS MET "However in my experience I have often run up against Grand Juries made up of a number of little prospectors who like to ask a lot of immaterial questions instead of letting the foreman and prosecutor run things in an order-manner. That is all in the game and they have a perfect right to do so, but it naturally delays matters a good deal and it takes longer than the regular way." Mr. Mott made it clear he did not take much stock in the tale of Mrs. Russell attacking the truth of the story of Mrs. Gibson, his star witness and inferred that he might call the Negress out of a spirit of fairness. It is improbable that this will be done, though, for the reason that Mrs. Rusell knows nothing of the crime and it is the crime the Grand Jury has to consider. Mott said he had several "interesting" questions he'd like to ask Mrs. Russell. Mott would say nothing about the possibility of Mrs. Hall being called, as she has requested. Foreman Gibb of the Grand Jury, to whom she also wrote, he would acknowledge receipt of the letter but would not say whether it would be handled as a personal communication or one addressed to the Grand Jury as a whole. Some of the jurors are likely to insist that the woman get a chance to be heard. Mrs. Gibson, it appears, has a diary in the shape of a large wall calendar and referring to this she contents that the incident of Mrs. Russell and her lost dog occurred not on September 14, the day of the murder, but on the evening of September 9. She says there is a notation to that effect on her calendar. But Mrs. Russell, she says, did not give her a dollar for returning the dog. The calendar will be introduced in evidence. CHRISTIAN CHIEF BECOMES AFRICA'S VOLSTEAD. Khama, Ruler of Bochuana, Made Land Bone Dry Years Ago. London, Nov. 6-For fifty years Bechuanaland, north of Cape Colony in South Africa, has enjoyed peace and prosperity under Chief Khama, with Great Britain lending a helping hand when needed. Khama, said to be the oldest native ruler in Africa, is now celebrating his jubilee. As he looks back over the years he so much to make him happy, but nevertheless he is disturbed as to the future of the protectorate. His son and their belongs to the new order; looks upon Khama as an old fogy; does not believe as he does and shows no inclination of following in his footsteps. For twenty-five years the son had been away from home and has not seen his old father. He turned up only just in time to attend the jubilee celebrations. According to the story of him told by the Bulawayo correspondent of the Morning Post, Khama is a remarkable man. "Only in Beechamland," the correspondent writes, "do we find an exception to the normal rule that the coming of Christianity and civilization means the passing of the authority of the chief. "Khama is a genuine Christian. He practices his religion. He succeeded in maintaining his influence over his people during the difficult transition period when the old order was giving place to the new. Khama was no numb-bumy ruler. He did not trust to the force of his own example alone. He made a law that rose of his people should tone to a lower and heored a lower. "One of the secrets of Khama's success is his imposition of absolute prohibition of intoxicants within his land. Beechamland was dry before the Anti-Saloon League of America he gun to think of prohibition." At the time of the Jamerson raid in 1895, Khama needed help. He came to London and saw the "Great White Queen." Queen Victoria told him the raid would be stopped, and that as long as she lived his rights should not be infringed by any of her people. That promise was kept. As part of the jubilee celebrations Khama's native army passed before him in review, and there was dancing and great demonstrations of loyalty. Many speeches were made. The resident migrator, missionaries and white settlers showered congratulations on the venerable old man. The ceremonies lasted a long time. When they were done at last, Khama rose and amid profound silence made an impressive speech. At its close to the surprise of everybody he made a pathetic appeal to his son Sekgma. "I have a word for my son, I do not know him. He has grown up away from me, and from his people, so that he cannot know my wishes and their ways. If he is willing to walk in me, he cannot shown to me. all will he well. He cannot shown his heart to God. If he will give his heart to God I shall have no doubts."

The best speech I ever heard, for power and effectiveness, was delivered by Wendell Phillips in 1855 or 1854, when I was at Yale. Phillips at that time was the leader of the anti-slavery movement in Boston and was considered one of the greatest minds in New England. His subject was slavery. The authorium, Brewster's Hall in New Haven, was jummed and the audience of about 2,500 persons, mostly New Haven folk was intensely hostile. Before he finished Phillips had captured them all. The city of New Haven on account of its manufactures was violently prostale. When Phillips arose such a booing and hissing started that for ten minutes he could not make himself heard. For almost an hour he was interrupted constantly with kisses and catcalls, but finally his eloquence prevailed and the audience was laughing, crying or applauding as Phillips willed. The effect of the speech was best. Illustrated in its reaction on a classmate of mine who had gone with me at my request to hear Phillips. This young man came from Louisiana and was himself a large slaveholder. Of course, he detested Phillips. He said before the meeting he was going only to jeer at him. He thoroughly hated the principle Phillips was defending, and yet from the hostile demonstraction, in which my friend joined, he ended by applauding the orator with unrestrained enthusiasm. After the meeting the young man spent some hours in my room upbraiding himself for having been weak enough to have been carried away by Phillip's eloquence. At that time the country was very much excited about the case of Anthony Burns. Burns was a runaway slave who had escaped to Boston, where he had been taken up by philanthropic abolitionists of the Phillips school. They had given him their protection and had educated him. He proved to be a man of a great deal of ability. He was prospering in business, had married well and was living with his wife and children in a comfortable home acar Boston which he owned. Then, when Burns thought his freedom was secure, his owner discovered him and under the fugitive slave law got an order from the United States Court to deliver him up. The matter caused a tremendous stir. The people of Boston rioted about it, so that Anthony Burns, after his arrest by a United States Marshal, had to be escorted to the warship on which he was to be sent South into slavery again by a troop of United States Cavalry. Philip's description of the man's escape from servitude, his education, his use, his industrial success, his home his family and of his being torn away by the law to be returned to slavery was so affecting that the whole audience was in tears. His denunciation of the conditions that made such a thing possible was so eloquent that the host file crowd forgot its prejudice and lost sight of the fact that the victim of the law was a Negro. They grasped the fact that he was a man like themselves. Most surprising of all, although they were all redhot constitutionalists, they applauded wildly Philip's dramatics to heaven when he said: "God damn a constitution if it commit a crime like this against humanity and liberty!" That was the greatest speech I have ever heard before or since. It was the only one I ever heard that captures and convert'd a hostile audience. Its effect eventually was the repeal of the fugitive slave law and indirectly the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. I have heard Henry Ward Beecher deliver some of his most effective speeches in which he aroused his auditors to an excitement bordering on insanity, but they were addressed to friendly audiences. One in particular I remember in which Beecher spoke for the freedom of Ireland. The ball was packed with Irishmen and before he finished they almost tore down the walls in the frenzy of their enthusiasm. Throughout my term in the United States Senate I do not remember a single great speech. I heard a great many good speeches, but no great ones. The most effective nominating speech at a national political convention. Remarkable Preparation Makes It Grow Long, Silky, Loosely Grow Long, Silky, Loosely Grow ever heard was the famous "Plumed Knight" speech of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll in which he proposed James G. Blaine for President in 1876. The convention was held in Cincinnati. Its preliminary acts showed no especial tendency toward sentiment, but when Col. Ingersoll rose to name Mr. Blaine a great shout went up. During his speech he was interrupted constantly by applause. In his peroration Col Ingersoll said, "Our country, crowned with the vast and marvelous achievements of its first century, asks for a man worthy of past, prophetic of its future - asks for a man of genius—asks for a man who is the greatest combination of heart, conscience, and brains beneath the flag. That man is James G. Blaine "For the Republican host, led by that intrépide man, there can be no defeat. This is a grand year—a year filled with the recollections of the Revolution; filled with proud and tender memories of the sacred past; filled with the legends of liberty; a year in which the sons of freedom will drink from the fountains of enthusiasm; a year in which the people call for a man who has preserved in Congress what our soldiers won upon the field; a year in which we call for the man that has torn from the throat of treas on the tongue of slander; a man that has snatched the mask of democracy from the hideous face of rebellion; a man who, like an intellectual athlete, stood in the arena of debate, challenged all comers, and who up to this moment is a total stranger to defeat. "Like an armed warrior, like a plumed knight, James G. Blaine marched down the halls of the American Congress and fairs against the brazen forcend of every defamer of his country and maligner of the honor. "For the Republican party to desert that man now is worse than if an army should desert their general on the field of battle. James G. Balline is now and has been for years the bearer of the sacred standard of the Republic. I call it sacred because no human being can stand beneath its folds with out becoming and without remaining free. "Gentlemen of the Convention in the name of the great Republic—the only Republic that ever existed upon this earth—in the name of all her defenders and all her supporters; in the name of all her soldiers living, in the name of all her soldiers who died up on the field of battle, and in the name of those that perished in the skeleton catch of famine at Andersonville and Libby—whose sufferings he so eloquently remembers—Illinois nominates for the next President of this country that prince of parliamentarians, Cat leader of leaders, James G. Blaine." In spite of Col. Ingersoll's great speech the nomination went to Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected, Blaine was nominated in 1884 and was defeated by Grover Cleveland. I have heard Lincoln speak, but he did not have the oratorical gift of arousing emotion possessed by Ingersoll and Wendell Phillips. Lincoln's speeches were deliberate and logical. There is no man in public life (now that I know whom I can compare with some of the speakers of the last century. That does not mean, however, that I think the day of great orators is past. Give a man the ability to sway his hearers and human nature will be the same in 1922 as it was fifty years ago. Of my own speeches—and I have made 1,000 or more—there are four that I remember with the most pleasure. The first was in 1880 at the dedication in Tarrytown of a monument to Major Andre, the British Officer who was executed for his part in the treasure of Benedict Arnold. The second was at the unveiling of the Bartholdi Star of Liberty in New York Bay in 1880. The third was at the centennial of the inauguration of General Washington as first President of the United States in front of the Sub-Treasury in Walth street in 1889 and the fourth was as the opening of the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893.

Do right, colored folks. God and the good people will protect you from those who do wrong. Keep on helping us, colored folks. Those, who have been heeding our appeals have been doing us "a world of good." Be polite and obliging to the white folks round, and about you and you will find out that you are polite and obliging to the colored folks in the same neighborhood. Some white folks strain our friendships, but some others make up for it by their many kindness. LOUISANA AND THE KU KLUX KLAN. it seems to us that right is coming uppermost after all, when Gov. John M. Parker of Louisiana comes out in the open against the Ku Klux Klan, the arch enemy of the Negroes in the country and the admitted opponents of the Roman Catholics and the Hebrews. While Gov. Parker has been misrepresented as to the facts, the purpose of his visit was to get the aid of the Federal Government in curbing the outside activities of the Klan and to prevent the members outside of the State of Louisiana from interfering with the sovereign rights of the State. The leaders of the organization lost no time in making it appear that Gov. Parker was seeking the aid of the Federal Government in maintaining order inside of the State lines, when no such idea had been made and the Governor was outspoken. In his ability to care for the interests inside of the State of Louisiana. Then the Klan got busy and had parish officials, in which no Ku Klux Klan outrages had occurred to write letters testifying to the peaceable conditions existing in that neighborhood. This emphasizes the fact that outrages visited upon Negroes will react upon white folks as well. In order to protect the white folks as citizens, you must protect the black folks as members of this American Republic. THE FRENCH STATESMAN'S VISIT. Ex-Premier Georges Clemenceau, who is visiting this country has been the recipient of high honors since his arrival here, but the indications are that he is talking too much and too often. He announces that Germany is preparing for another war. He has gone so far as to criticise America, for what it failed to do and for what it is not doing now. He belongs to Ex-President Wilson's school of thought, with the exception that he is not in favor of disarmament, but is anxious to have his country be ever on the alert and to hold Germany in check. He asserts that he has come to this country on a private mission and in no sense ian official capacity. This permits him to say many things as a private individual that he would not dare utter as a public official. It would be well to remember that M. Clemenceau's party is in the minority in France. He is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated characters in history and will go to his tomb with his fame secured. Certain it is though that his utterances as quoted in New York will tend to make more enemies for him and his policies than they will bring to his cause friends. He will have enthusiastic supporters, bound to him with "hoops of steel," but this support will be largely augmented by the conservative elements, who will not be willing to subscribe to his tenets or to endorse his utterances. The cry over here now is "No more war" and the slogan of the distinguished Frenchman is, 'Prepare for another war.' For this reason we are of the opinion that so far as bringing the American people over to his way of thinking, his visit will have been in vain. PROFESSOR KERLIN ATTRACTS ATTENTION. Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, a southerner and an ex-Confederate, who until recently was a member of the faculty of the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va., and admittedly one of the ablest instructors in the country has set a pace, which will cause astonishment not only in this country, but in other lands. He wrote a strong letter of protest against the execution of the Elaine rioters of Arkansas and the Governor of that State upon the reception of the same took the matter up with the Virginia authorities. As a result, the Board of Visitors decided that his usefulness as a member of the faculty of that institution had reached its limit and he was dismissed. As to the wisdom and legality of this course, Prof. Robert T. Kerlin has asked the court to decide. He has instituted a suit for fifty thousand dollars in damages and has made the matter all the more emphatic by employing colored attorneys to represent him. Attorney William F. Denny of this city and Attorney B. F. Harris, of Petersburg, Va., will represent his interests. Certainly, this distinguished southerner is making history in more than one way. For years, Prof. Kerlin has been gathering statistical information concerning the Negroes and most especially concerning the better class of colored people. Along this line, he is an authority. From information obtained, he has formed an opinion that "time can not efface, or eternity wash away." It may be well to state though that it is a characteristic of the old type of white people of the South that they were out spoken, in their opinions and friendships and when either had been formed, they resented any interference therewith from any quarter. This class of people are now placed in the category of cranks, but all great reformations have been brought about by this class of "cranks." Even today, cooed people have many stunnish friends among the former slave owners. These white men will espouse the cause of their black friends and they do not care who knows it. We published in these columns almost a decade ago, where a white property owner defied a white mob, who had his old black plantation friend mounted on a gallows, ready to execute him. With tears in his eyes and a revolver in either hand, he defied any man to injure him and he led this humble black man back to his own plantation. There are numerous instances of this kind of devotion. Prof. Kerlin resented the interference with his free thought and his free line of action. It may have been to the best interest of the Virginia Military Institute to have him sever his connection with the faculty but whether this should have been done summarily on the demand of a resident of another State, instead of permitting him to serve out his term is the question which his attorneys will no doubt submit to a jury. Despite present day conditions, the finger of Time is moving on the dual face of Justice. Some day and somehow these embarrassing questions will be settled and the present prejudicial practices will pass away we hope never to return again. Certain it is that every fair-minded individual must respect this distinguished southerner for leaving the courage of his convictions and the manhood courage to openly express them. --- GOV. TRINKLE'S POPULARITY. No occupant of the Executive Mansion in this city has ever succeeded in winning such spontaneous public favor from all classes as has the present Chief Executive, E. Lee Trinkle, Governor of Virginia. As for the colored people, they believe they have in him a true and devout friend. He is as approachable as a child and as sympathetic as a woman, whenever that sympathy does not conflict with his conscientious line of duty. He knows just when to give his assent to a proposition and when to with-hold it and no one can charge him with being a "straddler" upon any question when all the facts are placed before him. We had occasion to note the attitude of the late Gov. Fitzbugh Lee, to our mind the nearest approach to the present occupant of the White House and a stateman, who had a deep place of affection for the colored people of this commonwealth. Certain it is there are thousands of colored people, who Get The Planet at your door every week for a year. Send $2 and the carrier will bring it to you THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND.

Your loving Nice, KATHRINE ALLEN MOTON URGES RACE (Continued from First Page) hear of the hundreds of cases of unsel fish and helpful co-operation between blacks and whites that take place daily Dr. Moton said, "The progress that the Negroes in America have made in the last sixty years is most remarkable from every angle. The thousands of successful business enterprises, the accumulation of property on the part of the black race, including 22,000,000 acres of land, $95,000,000 worth of church property owned by black people and the reduction of illiteracy, saying nothing about the improvement, in the moral ideals of the Negro people, is most hopeful and encouraging. IMPROVEMENT ON PART OF NEGRO "All this improvement on the part of the Negro, we must keep constantly in mind, could not have been possible had it not been for the fine, sympathetic and helpful cooperation of the white people in all sections of the South and we, as Negroes, must not permit for our own sake, moral lapses here and there on the part of a few thoughtless white people who misrepresent their own race, to beofg those strong, unmistakable evidences of friendship and co-operation on the part not only of the leading white people, but frequently of the average white person. "It is gratifying to me that we hear little nowadays of this foolish question of 'social equality' being brought up to disturb the good feeling on the part of both races towards each other When the Negro asks for better educational facilities adequate sanitary arrangements in his part of the city, good roads in his part of the county, or equal railroad accommodations, he is not seeking 'social equality' but he is asking for civic justice, to be treated on his moral, intellectual and economic merits. NOT QUESTION OF "SOCIAL EQUALITY "This, then, is not a question of 'social equality' which neither race wants, but is a question of simple justice, which is as important for the good of the white race as it is for the good of the black race. The white race is not fair to itself when it is unfair and unjust to a weaker group. The Black race is unfair to itself if it permits itself to become embittered or to hate the white race. The two races in the South have lived, fought, sacrificed, and died for each other and for our beloved Southland, and the relations between the races were never better, in spite of all that is said. We never had more strong, unselfish, God-fearing white friends right here in Virginia, and in 'every State in the South, than we have now. I count among my best and most helpful friends in Alabama and in Tuskegee the white people of my State and community." In resolutions adopted by the meeting, it was declared that, the organization would have the State know that "it is our desire to encourage good will between the races; that we desire to share in all efforts to advance the intelligence and build up the State. Among those speaking Friday night were: Harris Hart, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; Mrs. B. B. Munford, Dr. W. J. Clarke, president of Union University and Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute. (Times Dispatch, November 18.) COURT POSTPONES PEONAGE TRIAL OF EX-GOV. CATTs (Preston News Service) Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 23.—The trial of Sidney J.

LYONS 316 North Central Oklahoma City, Oklahoma NEW YORK BAPTIOTS 1894 that I accepted the presidency of the National Baptist Convention. ‘At that time we were very warm per- sonal frionds, Ho was a man of broad vision and very protifiic in thought, We ald not always agree, but our disagree ment never broke our personal estecnt for exch other. He was one of the pro- moters of the organization of Uhe Nat: fonal Baptist Convention, which grew out of the threo conventions which met at Atlante’ Ga., in 1895 and was a hearty supporter of that organization until 1944. T met and talked with hin. on board of (rain going through Missis sippi in 1920. At Urat time he was fect ing very keenly the effect of the dismis sion which had taken place among the Baptists, but scemed to have been sur rounded by influences which Ne coutd not control. To him was very largely due the co-operation between the South ern Baptist: Convention and the Nat fonal Baptist Convention in Mission ary work, In later years the Southern Baptist Convention openly declared its opposition (o Board Control, but Dr. Boyd lad his own tdeas about these matters. His death moves from among Baptists of this country one of the most untane charactors that has lved in the last half century. The sympa- thy of the people throughout the coun try goes out to his beromved family. THE MOSES PLEDGE 'TO MORRIS AND BOYD Before the echo of the splendid tri bute to Dr. Boyd’s spirit of peace and organie union had time to ring the wel Kin throughout the colored Baptist family, Dr. Morris joined Dr. Boyd. Dr. Moses who was it bosom friend of Doth to the day of their death said to us: “Tho denomination owes an end less debt of gratitude to both Drs. Mor ris and Boyd, whieh ean be partially paid by fultiiling their dying desire to unite (re colored Baptists family in the one original National Baptist Con vention of the U.S. A. which they help ed to organize and did most to build up. and fo that end Twill dedicate my remaining @ays,” CONVENTIONAL, CONTROL, OF BOARDS Dr, Moses will endeavor to earry out the principles of conventional own ership and control of conventional de nominational boards elected by and ameansble to the convention, as was boing carried ont by the Convention of which Dr, Morris was president and to which we understand the other con vention conformed at its last annwel session, COMPLETE AND KEEP NEW PUBLISHING HOUSE Dr. Moses will endeavor to protect and perfect Ure present plans with £2 spect to the new publishing plant and other properties and interests of the National Baptist Convention whieh is being curried forward by the Morris administration without doing violence to those associated with the Boyd Wing of the Baptist family. ALL BAPTISTS BEHIND ALL. BAPTIST DNTERPRISES Dr. Moses will endeavor to correlite coordinate, and porfect our colored Baplist family so that the strength of the whole National Baptist convention may be put bebind every legitimate Baptist enterprise in the country; co- operation with all Baptist agencies and philurthropic people In develop: Ing the needy, local, stato and nation- al schools and mission churches which have been started and cnrried on by that noble band of voluntary preach. ers and faithful members who const: tute tho chief cornerstone of nearly every church we have started from the days of slavery to the present; and in that way the strength of the local churches and Baptist enterprises wit bo the National Baptist. Convention, and the strongth of the National Bapt ist Convention shall bo the individual Baptist members and organizations in pvery community, WILL ENLIST AND ORGANIZE STRENGTH Dr. Moses will endeavor to enlist tle vast army of educated Baptists as well as (hose — of limited ability and training to help make the National Baptist convention the most powerftt dignified and eficient group of race builders and human up-lifters m the world; in a way that it was well nigh impossible for any one to have done in the mobilizing, and — organizing epoch of such a large group of s0v- ereign people. WILL NOT BE PERPETUATE HIMSELI IN OFFICE If elected’, Dr. Moses will endeavor to unito the Baptist family without violating any principle or policy of the convention electing him with Ure dis: Unet understanding that when “get-to gether” negotiations shall have been perfected he shall do all in his power to allow tho representatives of each wing of tho colored Baptist Yamily an equal opportunity to jointly elect who ever they desire for president of the re united National Baptist Convention of U.S.A. and that tro will advoeate an amendment to the constitution which will not allow any president to sue: ceed himself more than four conseen tive years, QUALIFICATIONS OF Now, we will remind the country that Dr. Moses is preeminently auali- fied to be president of the National Ksaptist convention though — you al- ready know it, STRONG EDUCATED MIND It is Kenerally admitted by the peo- ple of the country regardless of de- nomination that Dr. Moses is one of the most brilliant men of our day and generation, He was born with great brains; and inhorited Intelligence. Ho fs’one of tho brightest graduates of Virginin ‘Thes- logical Sominary and College; with post-graduate work from other Instint tions. Ho is a persistent, original schol ar who speaks as one with authority. A PRINCE OF PREACHERS, Dr. W. HL. Moses 1s a prince ot Prenchers. A man of deep religious passion; vivid imagination, broad-vis- foned, forwardsooking; uplifting pro- phetlé, prencher, clear in synthetic anaiysis, sound, fresh, convincing in Uomiletical exegesis and powerful in delivery. Ho ts the man who can revive and popularise tho spirit of our fath- ers who glorified more In preaching of the National Baptist Convention than in controlling legislation, MOSHS A MAN OF DR, MORRIS' MORAL CHARAOTER AN EDUCATOR AND PROMOTER OF EDUCATIONAL INSTUCUTIONS Dr, Moses Iras the necessary edues! tional experience (o make a great Nat ional Denominational leader, He was President of Nelson Merry College in ‘Tennessee and Guadelappe Collexe in ‘Texas, and has been a member of cot lege boards of trustees in several stat es ever since ho graduated from col- lege. AN EXPERIENCED FIELD WORT- ER AND DENOMINATIONAL FINANCIER RARE EXECUTIVE ABILITY Dr. Moses is a man of rare execu: tive ability, His manegement of great chureles has heen of the very best in the country. In his twenty years pas: {orate he never had a rough house or a church split or a situation whieh ho could not handle satisfactorily without any sort of ontside aid. Never expert enced any trouble as Moderator of As sociation or President of Schools or Member of Boards, Moses is undoubted ly a born Master of men. , He rarely over enters or takes part in any meet ing unless his personality Is felt might ily in shaping its policy. He has nover held office in the National Baptist Con vention aside from membership on hoards, but the personality of no indi- vidual has been felt more effectively in National affairs than that of M. #1, Moses. No living man is allowed to run otf with any organization of which Moses {s a member, Thave seen people leaving great hodies at late hours, but if Moses rises to speak every body returns to hear what he has to say. Moses can he trust ed to take care of any chitical situat ton in any deliberative body on_ earth. He would be an honor to the Colored Taptist and race in the religions coin. Gis of the country and world. He is a pinch bitter, Te ean take care of 1 erit eal situation, MOSES WAS MORRIS'S PRIME LEADER IN PRACH MOVEMENT Dr. Moses was the prime leader of Dr, Morris’ “get to gether™ movement When the Peace Committee trom the Southern Raptist Convontion came {6 Muskogee to help unite the National Raptist convention Dr, Morris appoint cd Dr. Moses to state his side of tho case and that of his Convention, When the Pence Conference was called at ‘Tonnesaeo, Dr, Moses was again ap- pointed to or elected to represent the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RIOHMOND, VIRGINIA Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately thre individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the h Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vite ested in retaining the confidence of the colored peonle of this community and the good ¢ the white and colored peuple of the United States, are waiting, They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the J Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed b 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-boeks 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 ur- gently 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 nut 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, - I9eN MPrcoRTT om Moriis Wing of the Baptist. ‘Again when the “Pence Conference” was called at Nashville, ‘fen. Dr. Morris and his group again chose Dr. Moses to represent his convention, In recognition of the valuable service in the pence conferences the Phitadelphta Baptist Ministers Conference, repre- senting Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware presented Dr. Moses with a sold medal April 19° 1918. Dr. Moses covered the country sev- eral times from ‘Texas to Now York crystalizing the “get to gether" sentt ment at strategie Baptist point; pay- Ing ris own expenses. ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL TO THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION Dr. Mosos has nlways been loyal to the National Baptist’ Convention ot which Dr. Morris was president, He was a fearless critic and an ardent ad voeate of reforms, but when the con- vention split in Chicago; he never fr a moment left the Morris convention. No persoft was ever more caustic in his criticism of President Morris but they were always loyal friends. Dr. Moses was among that group of representative men who Dr. Morris had to interpret his spirit and minis- try to his beloved churelr on anniver- sary occasions, Dr, Moses was among, the few ministers who preached his anniversary sermons more than once since the Conventions split at Chicago in 1914, It was Dr. Moses’ honor to preach his last anniversary sermon a short while hefore he passed to his reward, he was siek at tho time. ‘The text used at the time was one which Dr. Morris said appeared to him in a vison when he first heenme President of the Nat- ional Haptist. convention, Joshua 1:5. “No Man shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life, as T was with Moses, so will Tbe with thee, 1 will not leave thee nor forsake tlre." “Taving obtained help of God T con- tinue unto this day witnessing both to small and great; saying none other things than’ Moses and tho prophets aid say should come.” Acts 26. PATIENTLY WAITING. ‘"tAnd 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, Ine., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further repre— sented 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 fur- ther ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, togeth- er 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 dis- charge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va. to its proper authorities.'' It was the funeral message of Dr. Morris delivered through Dr, Moses summing up his wonderful ministry. The sermon has been given to the country. Read it. Witr heavy hearts they quietly bade farewel® to each oth er with Dr. Morris breathing along and looking hard.

Nov. 16.—"Christian" churchgoers returning to their homes last Sunday morning in the neighborhood of Eleventh Avenue and Forty-fifth street were about to engage in Christian America's most popular sport—lynching—when a squad of policemen from the West Forty-seventh Street Station, with clubs unlimbered and revolvers drawn, drove off the blood-thirsty church crowd of "the best people" and made the Negro a prisoner. The Negro, Alphonso Mayo, formerly of Memphis, Tenn., was accused of kissing a white woman in a dark hall way in the neighborhood. Word spread like wildfire that a Negro had made an attack on a white man and Mayo, who was in the neighborhood and may or may not have been the man responsible for the alleged attack, was chased up to the roof of a tenement house and by the time he was dragged from the roof a crowd of a thousand persons had collected at the entrance to the lower hallway. The man was already in a semi-conscious state from blows and kicks and, many in the crowd were yelling to "get a rope." Two policemen tried unsuccessfully to rescue Mayo, and someone telephoned to the station house—perhaps some non-churchgoer—and a department car with reserves hurried to the scene. When they got there the crowd numbered over 2,000. The policemen with guits drawn fought their way through the crowd until they reached Mayo, and after warning the crowd they would shoot if interfered with, hustled their prisoner to the waiting car and station, for the battered man was made a prisoner although no charge had been registered against him that day. It is reported that one church in the neighborhood had that very morning passed resolution calling upon the State Department to "take immediate action for the protection of minorities in Turkey." Probably the same crowd that helped to pass that resolution participated in the early Sabbath men's hunt of one of America's suppressed minority. HERO SAVES SHIP AT SEA. (Crusader Service.) New York, Nov. 16.—Filled with a stirring story of the magnificent hero Sam of Sam Christopher, Negro attendant, who rescued single braided from the blazing hulk of the yacht Viking in harbor of Port of Spain, Trinidad, an hour before dawn October 26th. strange animals, jungle motion pictures and scientific data of incalculable value, Prof. William Beebe returned yesterday on the steamer Maravil from a nine months expedition in South American wilds with a party from the New York Zoological Society. The fire occurred while the vessel was lying at Port of Spain, Trinidad. Sam Christopher is said to have performed prodigies of valor while the rest of the crew and expedition looked on useless from terror. TUSKEGEE ANNUAL NEGRO CONFERENCE.

She leaves to mourn their loss, a mother, two sons, one granddaughter, two sisters and a host of friends. Rev. M. W. Clare officiated in the eulogy assisted by A. J. Oliver and Attorney D. W. Harth, who read resolutions and Mrs. Nannie Howlett, who read resolutions from the Ladies Working Aid Society. Mr. W. F. Hughes had charge of the funeral. Interment in Midway.

(Continued from First Page.) reason that the fourth quarter was not finished was because the officials on the field, who were approved by both schools, forfeited the game to Virginia Union as a result of the visiting team staying off the field after it had been called off the second time by its coach, Mr. Lawrence. ry was asked what he thought about putting the truth before the public, he indifferently shrugged his shoulders as if to say—those of us present interpreted—"the truth, I should worry about so long as the public thinks the fault was not with Seminary. Then he walked hurriedly away. His action evoked much surprise, and from the various comments that were made I take it that there are those in Richmond who feel that the good Seminary Acting as official press agent for Virginia Union's Athletic Association, the writer of this article, W. S. Henry, publicly announced in several Negro publications the result of the game referred to above, and at the same time stated as accurately as possible why the game resulted in a forfeiture in Virginia Union's favor. Because one L. E. Drewry, who is a resident of Lynchburg, Va., and who did not arrive at the game until the third quarter of the game in question was nearly over, thoughtlessly jumped to the illogical conclusion that all had been said in the writetop about the Seminary-Union game was wrong—absolutely erroneous—there appeared on November 1922. In several Negro weeklies an article headed: "The Truth About the Seminary-Union Game"—which was signed by the same L. E. Drewry, referred to above. In that article Mr. Drewry wilbor any grounds at all, disputed the Virginia Union's Athletic Association's press agent's publicly mnde statements, and proceeded to make it appear that Union's team and those who officiated in the Seminary-Union game were solely to blame for the actions of his coach, Mr. Lawrence. He also asked a few questions about the games that had been forfeited to Union (all of which were forfeited on Union's campus, 30 Mr. Drewry thinks.) Now, dear reader, let us reason to gether a little while and then both of us may be able to determine not only how unfit Drewry is to dispute one's word, but also how misinformed he is concerning Union's past football career. L. E. Drewry, Esq. A. B., from Oberlin College Dean of the Teachers' Training. Department and Vice-President of the Athletic Association of Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynburg, Va., emphatically stated that Union's press agent was wrong when he stated publicly that 1. The Seminary coach started an argument as the result of Union's touchdown. 2. The time keepers failed to notify the referee of the end of the third quarter of the game under discussion. 3. The writer, W. S. Henry, wrote either with lack of knowledge or with the intention of giving wrong information to the public. We shall see. W. S. Henry has to say regarding the argument, that he along with others does not believe that an argument would have been started if Union had not made a touchdown by one of her men intercepting a forward pass, which was thrown by a Lynchburg man, and running sixty yards with a perfectly live ball. Until the touchdown was made everything went along in "smooth sailing fashion." The touchdown, as was obtusely, meant victory for Union—suicide for Seminary. This was more than some of those present could stand. The Seminary was forced to look for a way out. Fortunately, probably, Mr. Drewry arrived before the game was over. It is quite probable that thru him a way was found to get out, as it wore—or, seemingly, it was after the arrival of Mr. Drewry that there was disorder on the field. Any how Mr. Lawrence did not see fit to call his men off the flold after a touchdown had been made and after the arrival of the Seminary dean. Now concerning The time Keepers' failure to notify the referee, I wish to call the public's attention to the fact that Mr. Drewry did not know who was the referee of the game. Then, if this is true, and it is from Mr. Drewry's own statement to me, How could he possibly say that the referee admitted anything at all to him? I personally have had the second interview with the referee who was Mr. Lew and not Mr. Brice, who upon both occasions stated that he has no record of making any statement whatever contradicting what was said in the writepen which so seriously displeased the Seminary "Czar." We believe that the Seminary aggregation believes that Mr. Lew is a truthful man, because the Seminary has tried to get him, since the Seminary-Union game, to officiate in one of its recent games. Therefore, the logical conclusion is, as I see it, that when two statements are contradictory and the maker of one of the statements has been shown to be a truth-teller and nothing but a truthteller, then the maker of the other statement would necessarily have to take to the hills—you may suit yourself about interpreting what I mean by—have to take to the hills. Now, this brings me to the place where I may mention a face to face meeting with my good friend and brother. Just previous to this writing I had the pleasure of being introduced to Mr. Drewry in the town of Petersburg, Va. Upon telling him that I had personally talked with the umpire and reforce of the Seminary-Union game and that they acquiesced with what I had said in the papers, that the umpire affixed his signature to several of the statements that I gave out, that I had had the opportunity of sitting in a meeting of Va. Union's Athletic Association's cabinet along with the game officials and the Lynchburg aggregation's Coach, Mr. Lawrence, in which meeting the game was discussed, and, that Mr. Lawrence failed to give any good reason for his actions on the grid iron that afternoon. Mr. Drewry made statements in the presence of not few or than ten men to the following effect. He spoke as though the officials' decision meant nothing as far as he was concerned. That his one and only gun in disputing what was said thrue the press was to exonerate his school in the eyes of the public. When Mr. Drew, THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ```markdown ``` ry was asked what he thought about putting the truth before the public, he indifferently shrugged his shoulders as if to say—those of us present interpreted—"the truth, I should worry about so long as the public thinks the fault was not with Seminary. Then he walked hurriedly away. His action evoked much surprise, and from the various comments that were made I take it that there are those in Richmond who feel that the good Seminary would be better off if Mr. Drewry's chair at the Seminary were filled by not Mr. Drewry nor one who has been inoculated with the Drewry philosophy but someone who has been blessed with the Union spirit. I shall conclude this bit of writing by saying a word or two about why Lincoln and Hampton each forfeited a game to Union. On the 12th of November 1921, Lincoln University forfeited a game to Union on Union's Campus. The reason was—a dispute arose between Mr. Law, Lincoln's Captain and the officials in the game. In this instance the Union team abided by the decision of those chosen few—the officials. Hampton forfeited a game to Union on Hampton's campus in the year of 1920 on Thanksgiving Day. This forfeit was the outgrowth of a dispute between the Hampton team and the officials in that game. Hampton's athletic director Mr. Williams, wanted the game finished, but he did not get his wants because the mob spirit fell upon the blue and white bearers and killed their sense of reasoning. Who then are the "rightful" citizens of a community, those who abide by a law that is administered by properly elected administrators, or those who absolutely ignore all rulings of the administrators? Union's policy in regard to athletic sports has been, is, and will continue to be the best as well as very high respect for officials agreed upon. Union does not feel as though she can adven tageously not have consideration for an official's decision. She feels that she would rather vote to dispose of an official than disregard his rulings. Now I ask the public to place the whole sit nation upon a rational basis, and decide whether it feels that every time there has been an occasion for a forfeiture to Union all have been made To Union—that the officials in every instance cheated for Union, or not. Why? Coming back to you, Mr. Drewry, I emphatically state that I did not write with lack of knowledge, nor did I try to give wrong information concerning the Seminary-Union game. It I had done that—write with lack of knowledge or wrong information—I would not have been doing things in the Union way. All Unionites do things in the Union way—I am a Unionite. SEMINARY SWAMPS BIDDLE. Virginia Seminary's Dragons swamped the Biddle University warriors on the former's campus Saturday, November 18th, by a score of 45 to 0. It was one of the fastest games seen this season, and although outclassed, Biddle fought on until the end. The Seminary 'team made its first touchdown by the famous "backs out" formation. The other touchdowns were made on forward passes and straight football. All of the Seminary's players were in first class shape and the team worked spendidly, and the forward passes were accurate. Tyler, the quarter back was injured in the third quarter but Williams carried the team through the remainder of the battle in fine shape, Scott, Tyler, and Williams played well for Seminary, and McCoreroy at quarter was the outstanding figure for the North Carolinians. Seminary is putting forth all efforts for their annual game with Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute of Petersburg; and Coaches Lawrence and Hurt are working hard with the team, and expect a victory Thanksgiving.
