(By Chester L. Washington.) Richmond, Va. The paramount debating ability of Virginia Union University orators was permanently established last Friday, when Union won unanimous decisions from the judges in their portion of the annual triangular debate; triumphing over Lincoln at Union and outpointing unmistakably over Howard at Howard. The debaters the Kappa Gamma Chi Debating Society. Under the diligent tutorship of Prof. C. M. Maloney, aided by the former orators, now seniors, Messrs. C. L. Franklin, L. R. Best, and G. W. Hicks, an octet of sound thinkers and pointed speakers were developed to expound on the important subject. Should the United States Join the World Court Under Provisions as Stipulated by President Harding? Before a large and appreciative audience at Richmond the sterling speakers W. H. Payne, J. R. Golden and J. T. Carter Jr., with W. H. Spur lock outpointed and outwitted Lincoln's best debaters and won a unanimous decision. They proved conclusive that the U. S. should enter the Court. An unbeatable trio engaged Howard in Washington and swamped the Capital City debaters with a veritable shower of undeniable facts and sound logic coupled with good speaking. Messrs. R. T. Daniels, J. Raymond Henderson and M. B. B. Lee, together with Alonzo Mulberry took Howard by surprise --- and brought glory and bonor to Union by their pronouncements. Howard also lost unanimously to Lincoln in Baltimore, which makes Union the undisputed winner of this year's great Triangular Debate composed of H—U—L. POSTERS WARN NEGROES TO QUIT AL ALABAMA TOWN. (Preston News Service) TUSCALOOSA, Ala., May 8—Tacked to trees along the Hargrove road about seven miles from Tuscaloosa for a space of about four miles, officials found several posters signed by, "The Great Black Cross," and warring the Negro residents of the section that they must move. The posters contained the figure of a member of the organization wearing a high, pointed round hat, with either a feather or helmet flare to the rear, riding boots and a belt in which a dagger is carried. The face is not hooded. "We are worse than the Ku Klux Klan, so look out," says the poster. Beath the figure is the declaration: "We Mean Business, Every Negro Must Move." During the past week several hundred Negro residents of the community received from the organization through the mail, dated April 19th, warning them to depart from that section. Sheriff N. K. Kyle is making an investigation.

Hampton Students Give Addresses and Demonstrations Before Large and Enthusiastic Audience and Through Chorus and Glee- Club Singing Win New Friends. (By Wm. Anthony Aery.) HAMPTON Va. May 8—The fifty- sixth anniversary of Hampton Institute brought together a large company of prominent citizens, including Governor nor and Mrs. E. Lee Trinkle of Richmond; Dr. John J. Tigert U. S. Commissioner of Education; Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute Miss Frances Greeley Curtis, of Boston; Dr. William A. Nellison, president of Smith College, and Mrs. Nellison; Francis G. Peabody of Cambridge; George Foster Peabody of New York; and almost the entire Hampton Institute Board of Trustees, with the exception of Chief Justice Taft, the president, who was detained in Washington on account of illness. Under the leadership of Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York a "Special Hampton Party" of 100 guests came to the Hampton An- niversary. Dr. James E. Gregg principal of Hampton Institute, who presided at the closing exercises of the anniversary, stated that it has been the frequent custom at the Hampton Institute anniversary celebration to have the presence of the governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. JUSTICE FOR NEGROES. Governor Trinkle was received with a rising greeting from an audience which filled Ogden Hall to overflowing. He said that he had come to Hampon Institute to express through his presence a deep interest in the welfare of this institution. He frankly confessed that he had no dream of Hampon Institute performing any service even approximating what he had experienced. He expressed his own appreciation and that of all citizens of Virginia for the presence of the North ern visitors. He said that Virginians are not unmindful of the generosity which has been shown by many people to Hampon Institute. He stated that the work of Hampon Institute has been productive of excellent results in the training of colored people for citizenship. "I am interested," he said, "in his address to the Hampon students, "in the development of your race. I am interested in seeing that justice is done you and a square deal is meted out under every condition and every circumstance. I am glad to tell you that Virginia as a state is interested in her colored people. The last General Assembly gave a larger appropriation for capital outlay to the colored school at Petersburg than any institution, white or colored, in the State of Virginia. There is no reason why the white and colored races should not be real friends. There is no reason why they can not and should not work together in an advantageous way. Each should strive to treat the other justly and fairly." J. J. TIGERT SPEAKS. Doctor Tigert refuted the statement that America no longer offers opportunity for ambitious youth to rise to high position.

O'NEILL'S PLAY TO BE DISCUSSED AT MEETING OF LA CRITIQUE At the regular meeting of La Critique tonight Eugene O'Neill's famous play entitled "All God's Chillun Gou Wings" will be discussed. The subject will be opened by Mr. O. M. Washington of Va. Union University, Mr. Washington is in a position to give a broad and scientific criticism of the play because of his literary training, artistic talent and aesthetic depth of appreciation. This play has caused a great deal of discussion of the various phases of the race problem. Few people have approached the play in a scientific and unbiased attitude of mind. As is the policy of most of La Critique members the subject will be disused as passionately and calmly tonight. The meeting is at the Y. M. C. A. building at 8:30. The public is cordially invited to this meeting.

WILLIAMS LODGE OF ELKS EXCURSION TO BAY SHORE, MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1924. Come and Go With Us.—F. B. Miller. COL. WOODCOUCH SAYS "BLACK VOTE IS LIABILITY" (Preston News Service) ANNAPOLIS, MD. May 1—In an address to the Republican Women's Club of Anne Arundel county here last Thursday afternoon Col. Amas W. W. Woodcock U. S. District Attorney at Baltimore, declared the solid black vote was a liability rather than an act set to the Republican party in Maryland. He said in part: "We are in minority. But why? One reason is the Negro. Don't misunderstand me. I would not recede one lot from the idealism of the early Republican Party, which gave the Negro the right to vote. In those sections of the State where there are many Negroes it is the most obvious argument for skillful and unscupulous leaders to use against us. There is no appeal quite so powerful as racial prejudice. "The sad fact is that, while the white people do not join the party because of the Negro, the Negro has in turn ceased to vote. So we are hit from both sides. "If the Negro does not believe in the public policies he ought not to remain in the party. I think the fact that the party gave him his freedom, or gave his ancestors freedom, is not a reason for remaining if he ceases to believe. I simply call attention to the fact that his supposed allegiance makes Democrats of many who are Republicans at heart, and that he is no longer voting the Republican ticket. "In fairness to him, he has every reason to be disgusted at promises made him by unscrupulous leaders which were never intended to be fulfilled. The Republican party ought to make the same kind of appeal to him as it makes to other voters—to his intelligence and idealism. "He should expect this and nothing more. There is no menace of Negro denomination in Maryland. It is not intelligent for the Democrat to suggest it." COMING!! SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING' DIFFERENT, SOMETHING CAPTIVATING.

Month. LOS ANGELES, Cal. May 3—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxer is preparing to suspend his motion picture work following his conditional acceptance of Tex Rickard's offer to meet Harry Wills, the Negro fighter, in a Jersey City bowl next September. Jack Kearns, the champion's manager, announced Dempsey's picture work would stop while the fight negotiations are being perfect. "I have wired Rickard our acceptance, which is conditional on aible purse," Kearns said as he and the champion were end a strenuous day on the movie lot where Dempsey is acting for the films. The "sizeable purse" mentioned was understood to include a flat guarantee of $750,000, with a percentage of the gate if Dempsey so elects. Kearns has picked Labor Day for the bout, but he indicated he would not allow that preference to wreck the fight plans should Rickard insist on September 6. Promoter Tex Rickard yesterday declined to divulge what Jack Kearns referred to when he talked of the "sizeable purse" quoted in the above dispatch. The promoter, however, denied emphatically that Dempsey would receive a guarantee of $750,000 for boxing Wills, adding that his agreement with Kearns stipulates a percentage arrangement for the champion, and that Kearns had not asked for such a guar antee. "There won't be any $750,000 purse for Dempsey. I don't know how such a yarn started," said Rickard. The promoters also declared it improbable that Dempsey was preparing to suspend his motion picture work. Rickard explained that his understanding of the film activities of Dempsey was that the champion would be bound by a contract to continue the picture work until late in June. J. S. SHEPHERD FALLS EIGHT STORIES; MAY LIVE. (Preston News Service) RALEIGH, N. C., May 8.—James Shepherd, of Henderson, working on the Odd Fellows building job, was seriously injured last Wednesday after noon when he fell down the elevator shaft from the eighth floor to the ground. He was rushed to the St. Agnes hospital where it was said on Thursday night that he is expected to recover, although he had not regained complete consciousness after the fall. Shepherd was unloading tile from the elevator at the eighth floor when the accident occurred. He rolled a wheelbarrow full of tile from the elevator and while his back was turned the elevator responded to a call from the ninth floor. Shepherd turned abruptly back to step on the elevator and fell into the shaft. Faer was expressed that Shepherd's back was broken, but doctors after making as complete examination as the man's condition would permit de clare they are unable to discover any broken bones.

In the thirteen cities where stops were made I met the former Regls- ter of the U. 8. Treasury, Hon. J, . Napier; the most eminent path: ologist of the race, Dr. Wi S.

In addition there were fifteen other striking personalities. What impression did they make upon me? In a forthcoming article this ques- tion will be answered, ‘These personalities, indeed, will be strikingly dissimilar. But, per- haps, no greater contrast did I find anywhere than in my native South. ‘An absence of five years, ante-dating the effects of the blighting migration enables one to easier size up the remarkable changes in the sick South which has been forced to vomit such a lange Portion of Negro labor, which it has, hitherto, like a Boa Constrictor, mercilessly eaten and digested. There is a phase of this question, however, which has not been prominently mentioned. ‘That aspect of this great problem will be discussed in qn installment— “Has the Negro Property Owner Been Crippled in the South?” SOUGHT FACTS ABOUT RACE, In my zeal to forecast the nature of some of the story of this exper- jence, I am wandering from the mission which took me from the Carnegie Steel Mills of Pennsylvania.

There were present at this meeting newspaper _ editors, ministers, inter-raclal workers, law- yers, bankers, and insurance com- pany officials. At these meetings. Louisville business men thresh out matter of vital interest to their business and are working to tie their Joint interests into an unseparable knot. BUSINESS NEEDS TRAIN YOUTH, Business men and editors through- out the country took a_ favorable attitude to our program of lining up our youth for the economic freedom ot the race. This Avas_ especially true at Louisville, St. Louis, Nash- ville ang Chicago. In our schools and colleges the majority of our youth are either influenced or are preparing to enter the professional fields.

A. F. OF N. 8. TO GIVE SCHOLARSHIP. ‘The American Federation of Ne gro Students is going to raise a scholarship fund to stimulate the economic or business training of Ne- gro Youth, The public and to a large extent our business men must subsidize this training.

COLORFUL NEWS “MOVIES” By “THE CAMERAMAN.” |—FIFTEENTH VS. EIGHTEENTH 2—EFFECTS OF NEGRO MIGRATION. I. 3—AT THE BAR. 4—COLORETTES (Preston News Service) the professions of lawyers, judges and justices in the United States, 950 are Negroes, of whom 4 are women. This is an increase of 172 Negro barristers over the number in 1910, and marks an advance of confidence and patronage on the part of clientele. The Negro physician was a long time coming to his own, largely because of the ill-founded antipathy. which the BRETHREN had for the colored medic; but his sailing is now fairly smooth and his practice a lucrative one. Even harder has been the lot of the colored lawyer who has had virtually three elements to combat, in many communities—the Bench, the White Bar. and his own people, many of the latter of whom have selfishly employed the Negro attomey’s racial adversaries. 4 The dawn of the general success of the colored Bar is un- doubtedly breaking. Racial consciousness and racial interests are slowly bringing about a racial solidarity—not the kind that advocates restrictions, but the kind that believes in the open field of endeavor, and, which, recognizing its need for group advancement, belicves that charity begins at home. Trained men, honest men, in the legal profession need not much longer fear bench, bar or BROTHER. The identity of all are becoming more and more co-ordinated, and the goal of all is the same—simple justice—complete justice, as pre- scribed by the law of the land rather than the customs of the people of certain groups. THE VARIATION BETWEEN actual enforcement of the FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT of the U.S. Constitu- tion, which provides that “the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude,” and that “the Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by appro- priate legislation,” and the EIGHTEENTH or “liquor” PROHIBITION AMENDMENT, which also provides that “the Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation,” is as WIDE as the BOILING and FREEZING POINTS of a Fahrenheit thermometer. The first-named amendment has been successfully evaded in the South by State statutes of divers descriptions and, when the occasion positively demanded it, in order to dovetail with southern sentiment, by actual denial at the polls. Consequently, it is an old story which describes “grand- father” clauses and “constitutional” tests whereby hundreds of thousands of qualified Negroes, according to the Fifteenth Amendment, are denied their vote. Furthermore, it is a dis- tressing truth that southern representation in Congress \is so markedly unrepresentative, and that every effort at Congress- ional enforcement, such as that made some time ago by the Hon. George Holden Tinkham, of Massachusetts, merely brings semi-consciousness to a nation and fails; for well known reasons, to bring about the desired result, From the time the Civil Rights Bill was declared unconsti- tutional, down to today, the pet of the South, the doctrine of States Rights, has developed to amazing proportions, and wonderment as to when its growth will stop pervades the minds of all ardent respecters of the Constitution. On the other hand, millions of dollars are being spent an- nually in the attempted enforcement of the prohibition amend- ment. In spite of this, it is asserted that 25,000,000 gallons of liquor are annually dispensed to the American people for the price of $550,000,000; that to every 1,500 saloons, as of pre-Volstead days, we now have 5,000 “blind pigs;” that 50,000 of America’s 150,000 physicians issue 11,268,614 ‘prescriptions for which they receive $22,536,938; and that 1,500 persons lose their lives annually from bootleg drops. ‘What's the answer to this constitutional anomaly? (1) PREJUDICE, with no good reason behind it, in States where disfranchised Negroes abound; and (2) #RIBLIC SENTI- MENT, the country over, in the case of liquor violations. In the latter case, however, “padlock” injunctions, fines and im- prisonments are vigorously invoked. But in the former case, only once in a lifetime does some consistent lover of the Con- stitution endeavor to bring about a full performance of the Fifteenth Amendment. Which is the more important, that a citizen should lose his constitutional life or that a liquor vendor's patron should suffer? The former, we think, by’all means.

May 2.—With Harry Greb and Kid Norfolk under suspension in Boston for a period of six months, there is a possibility that ice. fans may yet see this paxr in act fou again, Jobuy MoGarvey _matele maker at Motor Square Garden, bad the hout under vonsiderati»2 the other day, but gave it up when he learavd that the fighters had signe! for a re- turn bout in Boston. Their suspension in Boston automatically prevents the return bout in that city and it fs under stood that McGarvey has agala cast his eye in the direction of this boat. ‘The Garfield landiord, when sean, said he would be willing to fight Nor- folk at Motor Square Garden and that if the garden promoters can’t see their way clear for the bout, then the Iron City Club may put it on at Forbes Fiela some Saturday afternoon, in the near future. Greb also said that Neweck promoters want the bout, but he feels that it would go better in Pittsburgh now that they are suspended in Bos- ton. ‘The fans here have not forgotten the time Norfolk had Greb on the floor at Forbes Field and the spectacular bat- te they staged in Boston the other night added interest to the affair. If a return bout is put on in Motor Square Garden, the largest gate ever taken in at the East End arena will result, it is asserted, and it is believed MeGarvey will do his best to land the match. Although Dr. Samuel G. Elbert was the choice of the ‘Wilmington, Del., caucus for national delegate to the Repub- lican National Convention, he was defeated by a vote of 84 to 36 in the finals.

IN RESPONSE TO INQUIRIES received regarding an article entitled “Back of the Exodus,” which appeared in this column a few weeks ago, we are taking this means of comment- ing upon some of the effects of Negro-migration. In doing so, we are endeavoring, without prejudice, to depart from any semblance of a scientific style of discourse. A Souther Senator recently said that the South was largely dependent upon Negro labor. Quite true; and so emphatically true that the South is years behind in the use of modem farm equipmient and machinery, such as are found upon the farm- lands of the middle west. The South's theory has been “hand labor at low wages,” and a minimum of protection and ad- vancement for that labor. In the labor unions of the South, Negro representation has been denied a voice, bringing about a condition of “taxation without representation,” a minjmum degree of enthusiasm in the Negro labor group, and a constant desire to abandon the land of cotton. When this desire has been coupled with a railroad ticket, the abandonment has been consummated and the industrial efficiency of the South, already weakened by the neglect to keep modern, has waned. This situation has been plainly revealed in the discussjons in Congress upon the subject of restricted immigration. ‘The South, no more than the North, cares to bind itself up with foreign labor; for aside from the slow growth of the efficiency of the foreign worker, that class has ani éasier access to southern capital than it has in the industrial cjties of the North, where it quickly becomes unionized and thus becomes amenable to real American control and direction. Hence, the removal of Negro labor from the South is a menace so great that frantic efforts are being made to induce it to stay South. Thus in- creased school appropriations and improved housing conditions have been promised by southern employers who have been ac- customed, through long years, to deal with the Negro worker, despite the allegation that he is “worthless” and “shiftless.” This is apparent in Birmingham iron and steel mills, where the Negro worker is a well known producer, and where, in many cases, much has been done to make him a satisfied and per- manent employee.

Bs 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- "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 hmond, Va. to its proper 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 ``` Patiently Waiting. authorities.'

(By P. Bernard Young, Jr.) HAMPTON, Va., May 8. The senior class track team of Hampton Institute recently won the annual inter-class track and field meet—score 49.12 points. The athletic contingent of the senior class, forming the most formidable array in the large entry, emerges victorious with a lead of 18.3 points over her nearest rival, 18.0 points class, which made 31 points. The co-lege class had closely with 30.12 points. In fourth place were the representatives of the junior class with a score of 14 points. The work-year class came next with 6 points, and the freshman class was last with 4 points. The day before, the track was soaked in a downpour of rain and the track was somewhat slow. Even under these conditions, however, some excellent records were made. In the century dash Langston, '24, ran a wonderful race in the fast time of 10 1-5 seconds. He was forced to let him out to the limit, because of the keen competition offered by Jackson, '25. Both men let them selves out to the limit in the finals and came thundering down the stretch neck and neck Langston won with a dynamic sprint in the last yards and broke the tape only a few inches in the lead. other excellent records were made in the 84-yard run, the two-mile race, the high-jump, the pole-vault, the discus-throw, and the shot-put. The records made in the century dash, the half-mile run the 220-burles, the 2-mile run, the shot-put, the discus-throw, the high-jump, and the pole-vault surpassed the ones made in last year's class meet. In one or two cases the inter-collegiate records were broken. Cotes, 26, ran a great race in the 2-mile event. He also won the one-mile run. William D. Williams, college-class, won the honors for individual scoring with 11 1-2 points. Junius Langston, 24, and Robert Coles, 26, and Kenneth Anderson, college, tied for second honors with 10-points each. Stevens, 24, Jackson, 25, Thatcher, college class, and Renfrow, 28, came next with 6 points apiece. The class struggle for point laurels can be accepted as a reflection of the particularly keen contested meet. Exciting races, spectacular finishes, and the contest. Capt. Langston and Coach Smith now have some idea of the work that the 'Seasiders' can do. Trials will be held, however, before the inter-college ate meets to better get an idea of the ability of the men who had the handicap of a somewhat slow track and for those who were away with the baseball team.

Flipper of Atlanta, Georgia is quoted as saying that a split between the A. M. E. Church North and South is imminent with Secretary I. T. Bryant as the storm centre. Just how a split can take place unless the House of Bishops splits or the General Conference of the Church is seriously disrupted is almost unbelievable. Let us hope for the best. The death at Staunton, Va., of W. S. Woodson, Grand Worry Master of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers is a severe blow to that organization. He possessed qualifications and a temperament that peculiarly fitted him for the exacting duties of that office. His family and the organization have the sympathy of those, who have watched the course of this body and hoped for its continued prosperity and success. Is it a fact that Marcus Garvey, under sentence has become so influential and powerful that it has become necessary for leaders of the type and reputation of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the recognized world's leaders of colored people and James Weldon Johnson, recently acclaimed to be one of the ten greatest Negro leaders living or dead must train their oratorical and journalistic guns upon him and make him the subject of discussion from the hustings of this country? If it is, then President-General Marcus Garvey has attained an 'eminence that even Gandhi in India might envy. We have never seen any reason why these two distinguished leaders should not continue to "train their guns" upon the enemy and leave the famous Britisher and West Indian to work out his own undoing. That he will accomplish this result is a self-evident fact, if half of the utterances accredited to him are true. That he is a leader of skill and ability, no one will gain-say or deny. He is an agitator of the Lenine type and to abuse and persecute him is but to increase his following. "SANHEDRIN" AND THE NEGRO PRESS. The scholarly Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols seems to have returned from his extended trip abroad with "a chip on his shoulder." He is too young c man to be soured by age" angered by unrighteous criticism or embittered by experience. Under the caption of "The American Scene," in the New York Crisis for May, he strikes "right and left and uses language, both caustic and critical relative to the assembling of other leaders of color here. He says: Five months respite brings me back to the "American Scene" with wzest. The "Sanhedrin" of Mr Kelly Miller was exactly what I expected it to be: an interesting social occasion with no new ideas and no program. On every vital question—housing, intermarriage union labor, and even the Ku Klux Klan, it had nothing to say worth saving. Of all silly statements, the pronouncement of the so-called "Negro Press Association" against "unionism and economic radicalism" is the most pitiful. Union labor has given the modern workman, white and black whatever he has of decent wages and hours and conditions of work. Because the present Union leaders, headed by the reactivenium Gompers, are trying muscely to deprive Negroes of further economic advance, is less the reason for damming the bridge that brought us over. We fear our distinguished friend is not disposed to aid by helpful advice, but rather to attack those organizations, which do not embrace his rule of ethics and follow along the lines of his teaching. His own great organization is making a record for itself unequaled since the organized effort for human liberty preceding the Civil War. It should be encouraged in this great crusade. Regardless of our personal opinions relative to some of its deading advocates, it must be admitted that a revolution is being consummated relative to the fundamental constitutional rights of the colored people of this country. This is why we regret to note this disposition to turn aside from time to time and attack some of our own leading men and organizations, when these men and organizations do not "set their sails" in keeping with Dr. Or. does' leadership. Let us hope and pray that an understanding may be had by a mutual conference of these disagreeing leaders and that all of them may come to the conclusion that racial interests are first and foremost and that without malice or hatred, they will "agree to disagree." HANDICAPPING HARRY WILLS It is announced that Jack Dempsey, the heavy-weight champion of the world has been matched to fight the wonderful black heavy-weight fighter, Harry Wills, commonly known as the "Black Panther" of New Orleans. In the arena of heavy-weights, this remarkable, 'son of Ham' stands greement outside of Jack Dempsey himself, who occupies the "throne." It is easy to see that the public demand for this match is accentuated by the hatred of the American Legion, which organization dubs Jack Dempsey, a slacker and the leading members desire to see Dempsey humiliated, even though a colored man is the only person in the world today qualified to accomplish the task. But we are primarily interested in present day conditions and the requirements staged in order for Harry Wills to "lift the title." Win or lose, so lasit as it applies to the fighters themselves, both will win for the money considerations are staggering. Tex Rickard, the greatest promoter this country has ever produced is playing in favor of Jack Dempsey, by staging the affair in New Jersey, where the title cannot be lost to Dempsey without a knock-out, the count of nine upon the floor of a ringed arena and Dempsey must be living upon that floor. In order for Wills to win, he must have a prolonged contest, say fifteen or twenty rounds. It is an open question as to whether he will be able to land the 'lucky punch' in the early rounds. In order that he shall not accomplish that task, it is arranged that he must engage in an elimination bout with one of two South Americans. Rickard and Dempsey were more than anxious for Wills to meet Luis Firpo, who knocked Dempsey out of the ring, but Firpo is evidently shy of Harry Wills and money seems to have had no effect upon him from the amount he was offered to enter the contest. He has given out an emphatic, No; let Dempsey tackle him. Still, Harry Wills and his manager are ready to submit to the test and to meet Jack Dempsey under the hand-capping conditions imposed and with the full knowledge that Dempsey must be knocked out and be unable to rise during the count of nine. Those, who know Wills best believe that he will be able to meet the requirements. Can a citizen of color win the championship again? Will the spirit of fair-play exist ent in the American public assert itself? This is the over-shadowing question. As for the white men, most vitally interested, the question of color is not the consideration. It is a question of money. To them, it is about the same proposition as a fight between a white and a black bull-dog, a white and a black bull in a Spanish arena, a white and a black rooster in a barn-yard. Race forms no part of the contest. It is which of these magnificent human animals will provide the best sport for the people, who are willing to pay the price of admission. Colored people will be vitally interested all over the country. White people South will lacomically say, should Dempsey be defeated, he got what he deserved in fighting a Negro and as for the American Legion they will say that one more slacker got his deserts. All of them are wrong however, for it is a contest of one American citizen against another and all good sports will quietly remark, "May the best man win." MIGRATION AND EMIGRATION. The discussion relative to the movement advocated by President-General Marcus Garvey, which provides for the emigration of large bodies of colored people to Africa is virtually emphasized in a contribution to the Southern Workman for May by Prof. Monroe Work, who is an authority upon that subject. He deals with Negro migration in this country and the efforts being made by southerners to check the movement. If white people in the South-land look with disfavor upon the migration of colored people to a northern or western clime within the borders of this country, what must be their attitude with reference to a wholesale migration of this same race of people to far-away Africa? They are making prohibitive charges upon those, who would induce colored people to migrate from one section of this country to the other, what must be their attitude with reference to the emigration of colored people to a foreign crime? With reference to the Garvey and THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA other kindred movements, Prof. Work says: "The world war practically stopped foreign immigration to the United States. At the same time there were called to the colors of the nations engaged in this conflict hundreds of thousands of foreigners residing in this country. These two nations were the growth of war industries made a labor shortage in the North. To meet this shortage the labor supply of the South, mainly Negro, was drawn upon. This was the beginning of the largest migration of Negroes that has ever taken place in the United States. After the close of the World War, the restrictions upon foreign immigration caused a continuation of the labor shortage in the industries. "The migration of the past eight years, while it may be considered as one movement, has two important phases; that of 1916-1920 and that of 1922-1924. The first of these really began in 1915, reached its maximum in 1917, and continued at a decreasing rate up to 1920 when, because of the economic depression, it almost ceased. Estimates made at the time of the number of Negroes who went North ranged from 150,000 to 1,000,000. The 1920 census showed, however, that in spite of the great movement of Negroes northward during the previous four years, the number of Negroes from the South living in the North had increased in the decade 1910-1920 by 330,260. "Estimates of the number who have migrated in the past three years vary from 100,000 to 500,000. It is very probable that if a census were taken this year it would show that there are probably not 250,000 more Negroes from the South living in the North and West than there were in 1920. As a matter of fact, many Negroes who went North in 1922-1924 were persons who had already been North and had returned to the South during the economic depression. It is probable that during the past ten years several hundred thousand Negroes have moved from the South to the North and back again. "This movement both North and South was taking place during the winter of 1923-1924 and caused many Southern newspapers to pub lish the statement that Negroes were returning South and that the peak of the migration had been reached. What was taking place was that many Negroes returned South during the winter, went North again during the spring and carried with them additional migrants. He says further: "It has been indicated that the migration movement of the past eight years was in a way a special migration. Before this time, excluding the "Back to Africa Movements," the special migrations of Negroes have been generally to the West. The first of these movements was in the late sixties and the early seventies. According to a Government report, over 137,000 Georgia Negroes, during the three years, 1865-1868, moved West. The Kansas exodus of 1879 was in reality a Western movement and was from the soil in the South to the soil in the West. In contrast, the migration movement of the past eight years has been largely a movement off the soil; that is, from the country into the city, from agriculture into the industries." And again: "The South has not permitted a large part of her labor supply to go to the North without making efforts to stop the movement. The various methods employed could be classified in the main under four heads. The first of these was the use of the law; that is, enforcement of the already existing labors laws and the enactment of still more stringent ones to stop the activities of labor agents. Licenses for labor agents were made prohibitively high; agents were some times arrested and heavily fined; in some instances efforts were made to enact laws to prohibit their operations entirely. In a number of instances during the migration of 1916 1920 Negroes trying to leave were arrested by police as they were attempting to board trains. On several occasions it happened, as in Savannah, Ga., and in Tampa, Fla. wholesale arrests were made. Neither the law nor force, however, was able to stop the exodus." And again: "Another method of checking the migration was propaganda. This was carried on mainly through white newspapers. Numerous items were published about the hard times Negroes were having in the North and the anxiety of many to return South. It was stated that they were imposed upon in the North and that from a financial standpoint were better off in the South: that they could not stand the cold weather of the North; that Northerners do not understand the Negroes; that there is more prejudice in the North; that Negroes are attacked in the North just because they are Negroes, while in the South only the individual is punished; that, in the North, Negroes are hired as a last resort and are the first ones fired; that the best thing for the Negroes is to stay where they can get steady jobs and can make a satisfactory living for themselves and their families all of the time." When the "Back to Africa" movement becomes to be of a proportion to make such an emigration serious to southern interests, what will these same people do to check it? The answer is written in Prof. Monroe N. Work's remarks. It means that whether he wants so to do or not, when it comes to leaving this country in droves as proposed by that redoubtable leader, Marcus Garvey, a way will be found to check the movement. Why should our able friend and leader, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols worry and why should Mr. James Weldon Johnson, the brilliant secretary of the National Association for YOUNG WOMEN!!

PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. the Advancement of Colored People divert his attention from more important duties to answer and condemn the propaganda launched by this redoubtable leader of the blacks? Marcus Garvey represents other black people than those, who reside within the confines of the United States of America. Let those and the others residing on the dark continent work out their own salvation in fear and trembling and bring about the establishment of the great kingdom for which Marcus Garvey and his followers fight and pray. Parents, who have no culture themselves cannot raise children with culture. It helps, believing that we are going to heaven, even though we may never arrive there. Some white people are friendly and some others are unfriendly. It is for us to cultivate the friendship in the one class and not increase the enmity in the other. Among our tried and true friends, Dr. Thomas H. White, D. D., of Jersey City N. J., has been a conspicuous figure. During all of our troubles and trials, ups and downs, he has been unfalling in his words of consolation and outspoken utterances in our defense. The reply of President-General Marcus Garvey, in the issue of the Negro-World of May 10th, to the attack of Dr. W. E.B. Du Bois in the May issue of the Crisis, is one of the most vituperative, vitriolic replies that has ever been issued in this country. It is unfortunate that provocation was given for this unusual outburst of temper. Garvey excuses the use of the language in the words, "but the man provokes retort, and sometimes passion gets the better of us." Garvey charges that Du Bois used I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man is every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 120 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommand Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR. 2419 B. Grace St. Richmond, Va billingsgate, which means foul and abusive language. In this kind of discussion, Marcus Garvey has few equals and no superior. He coaxed his antagonist into an arena, where he knew he was a master. Du Bois belongs in the higher atmosphere of legitimate discussion. In descending to the lower level, this distinguished economist, we fear, in this particular line of attack has brought about his own undoing. O, the pity of it!

SMITH LEAVES FOR NEW POST AT PORTSMOUTH. Rev. E. E. Smith, A. M. B. D., who a few weeks ago resigned the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church, of South Richmond to become associate pastor to Dr. J. F. Armstead at Zion Baptist Church of Portsmouth, Va., left the city this week to take charge of his duties in the "City by the sea." Rev. Smith's stay here was of short duration, but he won many staunch and admiring friends, not only among the congregation he pastored, but the people and community in general. The city has lost a valuable man, a Christian gentleman and a fearless fighter for God and the right. As a mark of esteem and respect, a fine entertainment was given on Thursday night, May 1st at the home of Mrs. M. V. Binga, in honor of the Reverend and his accomplished Madam. An excellent program was rendered and the menu served to satisfy the appetite of the most fastidious. Their many friends wish them a long, happy and pleas ant stay in their new field of endeavor SIXTH MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH MEETING. The regular monthly meeting of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church was held last Monday night, with Rev. A. W. Brown, pastor, presiding. Recommendations made by Rev. Brown were unanimously adopted. One of these recommendations provided for the appointment of a welfare worker to be paid by the church. Rev. Brown called upon all, who wanted their letters to go to some other church to come forward and get them at once. He wanted to move off with a united following and the church was ready to accommodate as many as desired to go, even if the number was a thousand. Only one member accepted the invitation and asked for her letter. Miss Burroughs Coming to Richmond Miss Nannie H.

May 1.—Last Tuesday 17,000 colored people from all parts of the State gathered here while the county commencement was in progress. More than 3,500 colored teachers and pupils were in the street parade. Creditable exhibits were displayed in the exhibition building on the fair grounds. Miss Carrie Battle colored supervisor of schools, won prize for the best decorated car in the parade. Many cars were tastefully decorated. The white people of Edgecombe are proud of their colored citizenry and helped them to hold their annual events. The merchants contributed several hundred dollars to defray the expenses as well as several of the prizes. The people of the county are highly pleased with the work that Miss Battle has done in the county and she will be given a beautiful automobile as a tribute of the appreciation in which she is held by all throughout the county for her splendid school work. The police of Tarboro declared that it was one of the most orderly gatherings ever held in the city. Not a single arrest and children and grown were orally. TWENTY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THIRD UNION'S PASTOR KING WILLIAM COUNTY, VA. —Beginning September 16th, 1923 with sermon at 11:30 A. M. by pastor, S. B. Holmes, D. D. subject: "Some Reminiscences of 24 years Service," the machinery of good thing was set in motion, Rev. J. C. Graves, A. B. pastor of two large churches in King and Queen county followed at 8 P. M. with a great message—"The Shepherd and his Sheep." Music by his New Mt. Zion choir. Supper was served at home of pastor by Mrs. Martha B. Holmes, wife of the pastor. Monday night the Rev. A. D. Daly of Richmond filled the pulpit at 8 P. M. He was at his best on 'Relation of Pastor to People and Relation of People to Pastor.' How he filled our hearts.

Sparks of Cumnor, Va., Rev. and Mrs. Scott of Wilmington, Del. At S P. M. the people were back in overflowing numbers to hear that Lion of the tribe of Richmond, Fourth Baptist Church for 34 years, Rev E. Payne D. D. The old champion of divinity was at his best and unfolded the gospel of the Lord Jesus so forcefully that our cups overflowed. Those ancient, pathetic hymns, at times carried our minds back to the days of oppression when real soul tones were squeezed from the heart of the Negro in bondage. Supper was served by Sisters A. L. Holmes, Mattie Morris, Elnora Stewart and Eta Carter. Thursday night, September 20th at 8:30 the Rev L. V. Jeffries of Westpoint, Va., brought up a large representation of his good people to worship with us. His was a gem indeed. Our souls were glad to satisfaction while he reasoned with us as a Paul. Supper was served by Sisters, Alice Morris, Bessie Morris, Mamie Johnson and Harriett Clarke Sisters Ledora Clarke, Harriett Clarke, Mamie Johnson, Arnetta Gold man, Alberta Harvey, Lovelena Lomax Dorinda Clarke were usher for the week... Friday night, rain, so Pastors' Banquet was set for October 8th, which proved to be a splendid night. The largest auditorium in the neighborhood that of the County Training School was secured in which to hold these final services, conducted by the Sisters of the Missionary and Willing Workers Society. They could be seen in smiles and appropriate costume, busily moving here and there in their efforts to have everything "just so." They secured the services of principal S. C. Bolling, pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church as master of ceremonies. Program:--Song, Congregation; invocation, Deacon C. T. Gains; song, Congregation; remarks, Rev. G. C.

Harv $2.50; (e) Mill Road Club, Sister Priscilla Booker, $24; (f) Congregational Collection $25. The many hand shakes e were not counted. Missionary Circle Sister Lillie Clarke and a band of helpers, rolled a barrel of Brother C. G. Foster's choice flour on the rostrum at the pastor's feed by Deacon Gains of Gethsemane Church and Trustee Geo. Clarke of Third Union singing "Roll Jordan Roll." Pastor and Mrs. Holmes tried to deliver speeches but so overcome were they at such outbursts of gratitude that they could but feebly express themselves. Now came two sisters slowly marching toward the rostrum each bearing a lighted candle and escorted pastor, wife and members of boards and friends to a long table groaning under the weight of perhaps the greatest super ever served on any occasion among the colored population of King William County. The pastor and wife were conducted to the end of the table where a beautiful cake containing 24 lighted candles stood. Here was the core of the banquet, the zenith of the 24th anniversary. Five tables were served many good handshakes and heart cheering expressions and all left with blessing benedictions of pastor and Mrs. Holmes resting upon them. (Signed.) —A WITNESS. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Sunday, April 27 marked another great day at Pledom Sanatorium, Burkeville, Virginia. With a kind Providence adding His blessings of warm sunshine and an ideal Spring day for such an occasion, friends, ex patients and executives of the State Board of Health, numbering approximately eight hundred in all, gathered together at the Sanatorium to dedicate the new Chapel just finished and ready for the worshipers to file in.. The structure itself is the result of uniting efforts of the patients and friends of the institution towards raising the required amount of money to erect such a building. To the late John A. Emerson, former patient and employee of the Sanatorium is due the credit of having first conceived the idea of erecting such a chapel. With the personal assistance of Mr. Charles E. Brauer of Catawba Sanatorium and churches, clubs and other individual aids, the Chapel now stands dedicated to God and an added blessing to those now at Piedmont and those who will follow on in years to come. Quite a wonderful program was arranged by the Piedmont Welfare Board, Rev. A. T. Overby, Chairman and all present enjoyed to the fullest extent each address and musical number.

MRS' CORA LEE COBB BRUTALLY SLAIN IN HOME (Preston News Service) WILSON, N. C., May 2.—One of the most brutal murders in the history of Wilson county was unearthed sere last Thursday when Sheriff Glover, ac companyed by several deputies, went to Spring Hill township in response to a telephone call telling of the brutal murder of Mrs. Cora Lee Cobb, a beau tiful young woman, by her aged husband. According to Sberiff Glover the woman was aged 23 years and was murdered by her husband Ernest Cobb, aged 53. The woman's body was found lying on the floor, her head completely cut to pieces with an axe, and her brains strewn over the floor. Nearby lay an ax covered with blood. According to evidence gathered at the inquest Ernest Cobb came to Spring Hill from Hobgood Va., while his wife formerly lived in Norfolk Va. It was brought out that Cobb did not work Friday, Saturday or Monday Late Monday evening he approached Willie Williams with an offer to sell him his fruntime for $15. Williams said he figured it was good buy, but had only $5 in his pocket which he gave to Cobb, telling him that he would give him the remainder in a day or so. This Cobb agreed to. Cobb then gave Williams the key to the house, telling him to get the furniture at his convenience. Williams went home and after finishing supper, started to get the furniture. He unlocked the door and walked into the house and when he reached the kitchen he found the body of the dead woman. He rushed out of the house and then over to the construction camp where he and Cobb were employed and told his fellow employees about the finding of the body, and the sheriff was then notified. Cobb made his escape, it was said, and county officials are making every effort to apprehend him. HOBO GAINS FREEDOM BY HEROIC RESCUE WORK. (Preston News Service.) LAGRANGE, III. April 30—Among the twelve hoboes arrested here last Sunday as vagrants and put to work on the streets of the city, was Sidney Welton who distinguished himself during a fire at the La Grange sanitarium by his daring in rescue work. Panic was manifest when it was found that a woman patient of the establishment was missing. When Welton learned of the situation he turned and dashed back into the burning building and down a long corridor fill ed with leaping flames and smoke to the room of the woman, while thousands of spectators cheered, and carried her to safety. "You can't keep men like that in jail," the chief of police declared. Each of the twelve vagrants were giv en a bonus of $2 and liberty. MRS. HATTIE PEOPLE IS VICTIM OF OPEN GAS FIRE GRATE. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 1—Mrs. Hattie Peoples aged 53 years, of 2248 Wylie Avenue, was burned late Tues. day afternoon, when flames enveloped her body. It is said that her dress caught fire from an open gas grate. She was in the house alone and before aid, attracted by her screams, reached her she was badly burned. She was taken to the hospital where she died shortly after midnight Tuesday. GOVERNOR TRINKLE AND BODY OF EDUCATORS VISIT V. N. I. I. On Sunday, April 27th, the faculty and students of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute were honored by the presence of Governor E. Lee Trinkle, Mrs Trinkle and a large number of distinguished visitors who visited the school to listen to a sacred concert given for their special benefit. The programme, under the direction of Mrs. Bessie G. King and Prof. Luther P. Jackson who had charge of the orchestra and the Men's Glee Club—was well balanced with Negro Spirituals and classic selections from the masters. Each number was well received and the programme drew forth many words of appreciation. After several numbers were sung, President Gandy invited the Governor and other prominent visitors to come upon the rostrum. In introducing the Governor President Gandy spoke of his increasing interest in the school. He said through the Governor's influence a large appropriation was made at the last session of the Legislature. In his introductory remarks, the Governor spoke about the impression President Gandy made upon him and members of the Senate in a speech delivered before that body in the interest of Negro Education. The attention of the audience was then called to the splendid traditions of Virginia in producing great men for public service. He expressed satisfaction because the colored citizens of Virginia have a similar tradition in producing great leaders who work in the interest of the colored race. He then addressed himself more directly to the faculty and students of the Institute, a tribute was paid to President Gandy as a constructive leader of his race and to Mr. Foster, the business manager-treasurer, as a man of unusual business ability. He spoke of the faculty as being well trained, efficient and loyal. In his remarks to the students the Governor contrasted the possibilities of today with those of the past with reference to the Negro, emphasizing that no other race has as great an opportunity for service. He encouraged the students to take their places as leaders in the respective communities and stressed the importance of higher moral standards, obedience to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and honor and respect for the American flag. At the close of the Governor's address President Gandy replied with suitable words of appreciation. A beautiful basket of flowers was presented to Mrs. Trinkle by little Virginia Foster, the daughter of the business manager-treasurer. After the address and introduction of other visitors, the Choral Society sang very effectively the remaining two selections; the whole school sang the Alma Mater songs as the closing number. —T. D.

MAN BATTLES WITH POLICE WITH A HATCHET; KILLED CRISFIELD, Md., May 8—Two policemen were seriously injured and Henry Slimp was killed and another man had his head split open in a four handed hatchet and pistol battle here last Sunday. It is said that Mose Purnell, whose head was split open, went to the livery stable where Slimp was employed to get some water. It is said that Slimp told Purnell that he could not get the water and an argument resulting in Purnell's head being split open when he was struck by Slimp with the bit of a batchet. An officer attracted to the scene of the trouble endeavored to arrest Slimp and was also slashed by the man with the hatchet. Officer Kerwin rushed to Sterling's rescue, and he also received a severe scalp wound, and his recovery is doubtful. Officer Sterling fired five shots into the body of Slimp, all taking effect. It is said that this fight is similar to one that occurred here about 15 years ago when Officer Daugherty was killed by a Negro, who was lynched by an angry mob. It is claimed that if the officers had not succeeded in killing Slimp he would have probably been lynched. DISMEMBERED BODY OF YOUNG WOMAN FOUND IN GEORGIA.
