(Richmond, Va. News Leader, July 9.) The granting today by the state corporation commission of a charter to the Virginia Mechanics Bank is believed to mark the end of the repeated efforts to reopen the defunct Mechanics Savings Bank of this city.

Mitchell, Henry Mallory, Sr., Albert A. Tennant, W. E. Brown, J. O. Dawson, A. G. Thompson, and C. A. Cobb. The new institution will take over all of the assets of the Mechanics Savings Bank and it is planned to have it operating in the building formerly occupied by the latter institution at Third and Clay Streets within a short time. An audit of the assets of the Mechanics Savings Bank is now being made preliminary to its being taken over by Virginia Mechanics Bank. YOUTH MEETS DEATH BY ACCIDENT. Incessant Firing Heard and Smoke o Burning Villages Seen From Tangier. WAR WITH NO QUARTER Spaniards' Suffering Terrible In Fight ing with the disconquerable Tribes of the Riff. TANGIER, July 5—That very active fighting has been taking place in the mountains south of Tetuan is evident, as for the last three days incessant sound of gunfire has been audible here and thick clouds of dark smoke rising from the valleys of that district are clearly visible from the hills above Tangier. When in the peaceful atmosphere of Tangier's delightful gardens one can sit and listen to the almost unceasing sound of guns and watch the black smoke of burning villages rising into the clearness of the southern skies it is not difficult to realize the hell of warfare which the so-called tribal revolts and their repression entail. No mercy is asked for or given. This is inevitable. It is a war of revenge on the part of the Moors, who are seeking redress for wrongs, real or imaginary, with curiously enough, but very little religious fanaticism, but with intense race hatred. The horrors that this war entails on both sides can be imagined, but in the case of the tribesmen these sorrows extend to their wives and children and their homes, whereas the Spaniards have only soldiers, men and boys of Spain. But what these men and boys have suffered in Africa and what they are suffering today should have the whole world's pity. The mutilated and distorted corpses of the majority of the 14,000 Spanish soldiers massacred in July, 1922, told a tale of suffering unparalleled in recent history. There is no sacrifice that Spain has not consented to make in an attempt to pacify her zone of Morocco. Today every advantage is here in the numbers of men arms, wealth, and all the appliances and inventions of modern warfare. The Riffes are in extreme poverty, yet expend every penny of their money in the purchase of arms and ammunition and risk their lives daily and nightly in attempts to steal riffes from convoys and unsuspecting sentries. The only internationalization in Mo rocco that has been successful is international trade in contraband arms into the Spanish zone. The subjects of every great power, have been engaged in it regardless of race or religion. Spain, Gibraltar, the French Protectorate, the Tangier zone and formerly Germany have all done their part in successfully running guns and even to day the supply of arms and ammunition shows little signs of diminution. In fact it is said that cartridges have never been so cheap in the Riff. In addition to their contraband the Riffes obtained vast quantities of arms who nethen destroyed the Spanish army in July, 1921. Every time they are beat en the tribes return to the fray and all that is changed is that the riffes of the dead are borne by others, sometimes by their women who come to die in turn. Until their last drop of blood has been spilled these mountain tribesmen will struggle to expel the Spanishard from Morocco Subscribe to THE RICHMOND PLANET $9.00 Per Year in Advance.

RECOVERS STOLEN CAR AT FREDERICKSBURG After being in the bands of two unidentified men for several hours, an automobile belonging to Waverly Hatchett, colored, of 406 Munford Street, has been returned to its owners. The car was captured in Fredericksburg and brought to Richmond. Details of the disappearance of the automobile are unusual and reveal the boldness of car thieves here. Hatchett told the police he left the automobile parked in front of his house with the keys in it and entered his home for a "minute." He glanced out of the window and saw two strangers eyeing the car. Finally they entered and started the engine. The car pulled away and Hatchett pursued the thieves and mounted the running board. One of the occupants kicked him off and he reported the affair to the police. The theft was reported to authorities in other cities and the car was found in Fredericksburg traveling under a fake license. IDEAL SOCIETY TO HOLD ITS TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY.

George E. Brennan the Illinois leader who has been in supreme command of the anti-McAdoo forces gave the signal for the big flop when at the conclusion of the roll call and before the vote could be tabulated, he arose and in a loud voice attempted to swing the whole fifty-sight votes to Davis. The Illinois vote had been announced as 19 for Davis, 19 for Underwood and 20 for Glass. The unofficial total of the roll call had given Davis 560 1-2. The motion to make the nomination by acclamation was carried with a roar and Chairman Walsh then declared Davis the nominee of the convention for the office of President of the United States. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK. July 10—The Democratic National Convention brought its tempestuous sessions to a close early this morning, placing before the country a ticket headed by John W Davis of West Virginia, with Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska in second place. Nominated on the one hundred and third ballot in the final dissolution of the deadlock which had gripped the convention for ten days. Mr. Davis be gan his services as the leader of his party by upsetting precedent and addressing the convention at its evening session and then going into conference with convention managers over choice of a nominee for the vice-presidency. Governor Bryan was chosen for sec ond place on the ticket after his friends had placed before Mr. Davis and his conferees an argument for selection of a Western man of proven executive capacity, familiar with agriculture and in sympathy with the liberal sentiment of the country. The nomination of the Nebraska Governor took only one ballot The result of the single ballot follows: Bryan, 739; Owlesley, 16; Berry 209 1-2; Silzer 10; Mrs. Spring 18; Davis of Kansas 4. The word that the leaders wanted him nominated was passed quickly about the convention hall and although active campaigns had been made for several other candidates the result was not long in doubt. Mr. Bryan was declared nominated at 2:22 A. M. East ern daylight saving time. Then after a few minutes formities the convention adjourned sine die at 2:24 A. M. and the delegates for the last time filed weary out of the old garden where their nerves had been frazzled and their patience worn out by more than two weeks of the most stirring scenes in all political history connected with the development of Negro business in this section and is dental inspector at Hampson Institute.

I found many of them strolling about their beautiful campus with the demeanor of the Ptolemies and prestige escaping from their Adam's apple.... At Meharry I met the finest bunch of young men I've ever seen. A large percentage of the "doctors" were wet behind the ears with learning." TWO SAYS I. J. K.一 (By I. F. I. K. Wells. President A. F. of N. S.—Negro Youth Movement.) 一 Tennesseeans and many others for that matter regard Nashville as being the Athenian city of the south. Were it put to a test against Atlanta there is little doubt but that it would be as deadlocked as the recent Democratic Convention. Meharry, Fisk, Walden, Roger Williams and the Tennessee State Normal present an aggregation of school houses which gives the sons and daughters of Ham quite every form of training they receive in Ameriea. To compare such institutions with mammouth Universities like Illinois and Michigan is quite profitable. From the angle of material advancement especially contrasting them is nigh atrocious. Yet every year thousands of our group do this in considering colleges for the training of our youth. Materially the contrast between a Uni viversity like Michigan and those like Fisk is astounding. What do I mean? It is this; the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor is a city in itself. At the present time it is erecting a medical hall, a law building said to cost $700,000. This sum would build and buy for us. Howard, Lincoln Wilberforce, Fisk, and Morehouse combined. This does not include the scores of other buildings at Michigan almost as valuable. It is then small wonder that our leaders like Dr. Du rots clamor so vociferously for our states to increase the niggarly allotment of from 50 to 100 usually left handed to our land grant schools like State Normal at Neathville. At Michigan there are 10,000 students, while the largest group of our colleges do not average 500, which makes Michigan roughly twenty times as large. One used to Fisk and Meharry thrown into Michigan feels like a Lilliputian visiting in Brobdingnag. Neither Michigan nor Illinois both of which are located in small cities have 100 students of color. In mathematical terms not quite a whole Negro to one hundred whites. And yet these vast hordes of whites would allow prejudice or fear to enter sufficiently for such universities to want to deny and to limit a mere morsel of Colored humanity to study that human society might be bettered. It is easy to appreciate how ignorant white South Carolina, in which we are about equally as numerous, to fear us; but how the sup posed highly trained group of University whites fortified with the treasures of the world's wealthiest nation in addition to having the advantageable ratio of one hundred to one is hard to see. It is getting to be common knowledge that our youth, applying to such colleges for Medical training especially are rebuffed with the harsh unfriendly and undemocratic advice. "Go to Howard" or go to "Meharry." The latter schools however are great institutions. No sensible person can afford to criticise them. When the material resources back of each of them are contrasted and considered it does not require a mind acute enough to clarify the problems of the fourth dimension to grasp the relative proficiency of these colleges. Although material resources are required in order to permit us to be well trained there are other factors which make rich contributions to the education of our boys and girls. WHAT TESTS PROVE THE WORTH OF OUR SCHOOLS? We regard the school house as the emithy which forges growing humans into the best shape for life. Most of the institutions of higher learning in our country were started by the church Yale, Princeton, Lincoln, Fisk, are just a few of them. Religion being the cornerstone of these universities it is not strange that, in the beginning at least, our institutions lay stress up on moral development. Perhaps the real value of educational institutions is that they help our individuals who are well fitted to survive in the battle of life as individuals and to give to the race and to the nation survival powers. The founders of our colleges evidently felt that a young people as we are and a young nation as America is will survive, if they rest upon a solid moral foundation as advocated by our colleges. Inasmuch as neither business nor politics nor society itself would thrive unless there prevail confidence and common virtues like honesty and truthfulness the purposes of our Christian colleges are not as "heavenly" and impractical for this old earth as they seem. At institutions like Michigan, thoroughness and efficiency, are the goals stressed; while high tone ethics is the only semblance of the Christian doctrines chiefly found in purely church schools. DO COLLEGES HAVE PERSONALITY There is another phase in which the passing observer may contrast our colleges. I found several colleges with definite policies and distinct personalities. These are seen in and upon the students, fttimes in clear reflectins. Let us take Fisk for example. Fisk believes in exclusiveness. The idea seems to be, "Let us put the Fisk stump upon them." The seemingly reactionary administration pursues the policy of isolation. Fisk students take little part in movements off the campus save Christian ones. Neither Fraternities nor sororites are allowed. They proudly bask in Fisk's glory. I saw many of them strolling about their beautiful campus with the demeanor of the Ptolemies, and prestige escaping from their Adam's apple. Fisk students are well trained. At Mehryl I found the finest bunch of young men I have ever seen. They know how to count popularity. They are cordial and gentlemanly indeed. I thought that my college had a superb group of sterling young men but Mehryl bad the lead. The town people address all the Mehrians as "Doctor." I found a very large percent of the "doctors" wet behind the ears with learning and versed in more medical lore than Esculapius ever dreamed. This matter of training regards per sonal and social efficiency with which our American Federation of Negro Stuents is vitally interested leads us into the very important question of where we shall educate our youth to obtain these efficiencies. Every family having a boy or a girl to send through college must decide where to send him or hew. Should it be a mixed school or a race school? and further which mixed college or which race college? The merits, demerits, of these practical questions will be discussed next week. DR. G. E. CANNON URGES RACE MEMBERS FOR CONGRESS. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. July 10.—Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, formally opening the National Republic can Colored conference in St. Augustine church here Thursday, recommended an aggressive campaign to obtain colored members for both state legislatures and congress. Dr. Cannon is president of the conference and was a delegate at large from New Jersey to the National Republican Convention at Cleveland. U. S. Senator George Moses, chairman of the Republican Senatorial campaign committee, came in for a large share of censure at the hands of Dr. Cannon during the course of his speech He said that Senator Moses had failed to answer letters asking for a conference touching on the colored organization's plans. "Judging by past performances," declared Dr. Cannon "the Senate as a body is not too friendly disposed toward our enjoying the full rights of American citizens." The speaker stated that the attitude of Republican leaders at the Cleveland convention had been friendly as evidenced in the action toward a more just equalization of representation. URGE NEGRO VOTERS TO BACK THIRD PARTY. (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 11—A strong pressure urging the American Negro to disregard the party label in the coming election and indorse the third party movements as a step toward the "political and economic cradle of the race," was adopted Thursday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in session here.

THE PIANET Umbrella Coupon GOOD FOR FIVE VOTES. --- THE RIGHMOND PLANET, RIGHMOND, VIRGINIA COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" OF LATE, CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE WHITE press seem to be afflicted with a journalistic epidemic which smacks of a policy of publicity and a style of narration which would make the creator of Nick Carter look to his laurels, were he alive today. (By the way, he committed suicide sometime ago). Two recent outbursts of this "puffed" publicity occurred when the white press devoted columns and columns to newspaper minstrels in their descriptions of "Jim Democrat," a Negro mascot of the democratic convention, and another Negro character, whom the white press described as the "Dog Man" of Washington, D. C. More eight-point type and printers' ink were used in a ludicrous attempt to furnish news of these two Negro characters than were used to tell the story of how Johnson and Roberts had beaten up a dozen or more German soldiers. Details, deflections, and grammatical polish were used and re-used by the white press in picturing the lives of "Jim Democrat" and the "Dog Man," and if these two individuals happen to feel proud of their advent on the front page of a big daily (and we doubt it) then we suppose we should worry. Somehow or other, though, we feel that they, like us, would be more proud to see some front page "stuff" relative to some sure-enough achievements of the BRETHREN, which deal with more substantial accomplishments than caring for dogs and "mascotting" for conventions. Newspaper minstrelsy is on the wane, and high-powered publicity is the kind that "goes over" nowadays. And if stories of Negroes are desired by the white press, we'd be glad to donate some data on science, literature, art, music, and a dozen other subjects, as to which Negro men and women have made a name for themselves. ORGANIZED ACTION BY A-L-L TEACHERS IN the United States, to obtain recognition for education in the Government, was urged by Miss Olive M. Jones, white, President of the National Educational Association at its general conference in Washington, last week. "Democracy is unsafe in America," said Miss Jones, "on account of lack of education, and the Sterling-Reed bill for a Federal Department of Education is one of the most important needs confronting education today." When Bulletin 1916, No. 28, "A Study of the Private and Higher Schools for Colored People in the United States," conducted under the direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, white, was published by the Bureau of Education of the U. S. Government, despite criticisms which not a few Negro educators heaped upon the head of Dr. Jones for his alleged "biased view," sufficient facts concerning Negro schools and education were gathered to form a basis for constructive educational work throughout our lifetime. Yet, virtually every other phase of Negro advancement has been given priority over the education of our youth; and the greatest pressure for a Federal Department of Education, which could be approached far more directly in behalf of Negro education than can the present state and interlocking authorities, has been made by the whites and not by us. When hearings were had upon the proposed legislation, the BROTHERS and SISTERS were conspicuous by their absence; but far-seeing opponents, who could easily visualize the benefits which would accrue to our offspring through substantial Federal supervision were right on the job with a veiled protest. And now we have a chance to get behind Miss Jones' statement and push the N. E. A. on to carrying out her strong suggestions. Let's not miss it. A FEW DAYS AGO WE AMBLED OUT TO THE Namaqua Club, Amityville, Long Island, one of the garden spots of the United States, and were refreshed with julepless mint julep, fried chicken, ice cream, and sundry other entrees which tested the efficiency of our tasting department. We picked a few Long Island daisies, were shown the prospective golf course, loaughed on the lawn, and fought mosquitoes at brief intervals. And after being informed that permanent membership in the Namaqua Club could be purchased for twenty-five bucks, we handed our host a cigar and asked him to tell us something of club life among the BRETHREN. "Well," said he, as he chewed up a piece of fragrant mint, "I've been in a few of the prominent clubs, all the way from the Mu-So-Lit in Washington, D. C. to the Loendi and Idle wilde in Pittsburgh and Chicago, respectively. Too much indoor stuff for red-blooded men. Out here, you see, we're strong for boating and bathing. Billiards and games are fast becoming fit for women, only. Of course, if that Chicago Athletic Club goes over, it'll be the finest thing of its kind in the country. However, the membership fee already indicates that only millionaires will be able to make application. The Mu-So-Lit Club, in Washington, is all right," my host continued, "but, you see, a fellow's got to be a graduate of two or three universities before the board will consider his application; and the Association of Trade and Commerce in New York is too full of business doings. When a guy comes to a club he wants recreation and not recollection. "Now Ed Henry, in Philadelphia, had the right dope when he instituted some new ideas in the Citizens' Club Ed's a practical man, you know, and when the fellows got tired of stud poker, Ed put some politics in the Club as a side issue, and the Citizens' Club is going big.

NEW HOSPITAL Help us to get a new hospital. To think of it 75,000 colored people in a city with a hospital which they can call their own which can only accommodate 25 patients. No, no, no, we will not stand for this but will come together as a loving race should do and give our little mites to either re-build or purchase another site. If every colored person in the city of Richmond would give $2,00 apiece we could erect a magnificent hospital which would be a credit to our race. The committee in charge is very much encouraged and it is believed that they are going to receive checks from every church in the city of Richmond, every business firm and every organization. The committee will flood the city with letters and it is be loved that every well- biking women and man in the city with a race pride heart will give willingly. Remember the beautiful words of our Lord. He said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." When the workers come to your doors don't refuse them but give willingly. They are begging to do what they are for adults and twenty-five cents each for children. They have cards which hold ten dollars each and also votes which are being sold by the agents at fifteen cents each. Let us give to everyone who comes to us in the behalf of the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital. Look at the good that she has done in the past and that she is doing in the present. You can purchase your button at any of the doctors or ministers in our city. We are asking that you will purchase a button at once and wear it in order that you may advertise the campaign. We ask especially that the clubs and organizations in the city will please send a donation at once and a special pledge to help put the proposition over. When this hospital is completed we can say that it is a colored hospital and not a white hospital that takes colored patients. We have the most wonderful indorsements that any colored campaign has had in the state of Virginia. The campaign will continue throughout the month of July. We are asking that every family in the city of Richmond will purchase these buttons at the earliest convenience for the children as well as the grown people. We have the most wonderful site in view, which is appropriate for an institution of this kind. If there is a man or a woman in the city that believes in charitable work they should be interested in this undertaking in behalf of our own race. Let us all join hands and work together in this campaign and make it the grandest campaign that has ever been in the state of Virginia. On the night that these reports come in we expect for this to be one of the greatest justice nights that has ever been held in the city of Richmond by the public people. We are asking the public in general to make this a grand success, also your prayers. Most respectfully, The Committee in Charge, Rev. W. H. Stokes, president; Rev. W. T. Johnson, secretary; Mr. R. L.

Name Address 2—FEDERAL SCHOOL SUPERVISION? DEMOCRATS LACK LEADERSHIP SAYS NEWARK EVENING NEWS. NEWARK, N. J., July 3.—Commenting editorially in issue of June 26th, the Newark Evening News says, under the caption of, "Mr. Wilson's Ideas Without His Personality:" "The Wilson ideas may get an airing in the Democratic convention, but it will be without the Wilson personality the Wilson vision, and the Wilson faith. A man's ideas, if they amount to anything, are his own. Great men move resolutions; smaller men second them. A Cleveland a Roosevelt, a Wilson stands apart because he has the courage and initiative to mark out a course for himself instead of following the path another has blazed. The world accepts large ideas only from those in whose presence is authority. It took a Moses to transmit the commandments, a Lourysgus to give the Spartans their laws, a Luther to nail his thesis to the church door at Wittenberg. "The Democratic convention may benefit itself by a show of loyalty to the Wilson ideas, but it cannot put heat or light or life into those ideas. They have been planted in richer soil of a broader field. They are being nurtured by nations not by parties or individuals. Their roots are in the heart of the world." JOSEPH GRAVES SENTENCED TO TERM IN JAIL. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3.—Joseph Striver Graves, said to be one of the clearest bootleg kings in this city, was sentenced to jail. Graves was Washington's most harrassed "Little Tibrist Quencher," and is claimed to hold the country's record for aggravating prohibition enforcement officers. It is said that Graves' patrons were among the most prominent white people in Washington. He conducted a restaurant and rooming house in G street northwest. Police officials declare that Graves broke every law that Volestea ever wrote on the prohibition, question and then when the police put a padlock on his door under the padlock injunction, he broke that too.

"THE PASSING OF BRYAN" The Democratic National Convention, after being in almost continuous session for more than two weeks and at times being in a hopeless dead-rock, which was only broken by the retirement from the race of Hon. William G. McAdoo of California and Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, on last Wednesday named Hon. John W. Davis of West Virginia for President and Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska for Vice-President. Senator Walsh could have had second place without the asking and he positively declined to accept the nomination. The nominee for President is a gentleman of high character. He is a corporation lawyer and for this reason will be pleasing to the financial interests of eastern states and displeasing to the socialistic elements, who follow the Bryans and the La Follettes. Many of the original delegates had left the convention and it was openly asserted that had the body held a day longer, it would have found itself without a quorum. It was both binted and charged that many delegates had left "dummies" in their places to cast their votes. Hon. William G. McAdoo took his defeat to heart and was much disappointed. The general opinion is that by the injection of the Ku Kiux Kluan issue into the convention, all hope of Democratic success went a glimmering. That organization is openly opposed to Catholics, Jews and Negroes, with its bitterness against the Catholics first. There is no doubt but what Governor Smith of New York would have won the nomination "in a walk" had not the religious issue been used against him. This has embittered his friends, who are waiting for November to "get even." Mr. McAdoo did not favor Hon. John W. Davis and Hon. William J. Bryan was bitterly opposed to him, being outspoken in his opposition to the distinguished West Virginian. He was forced to sit and see him outstrip all other competitors and win the nomination. This caused jubilation in the anti-Bryan camp and the editor of the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch could not control his joy for a few brief hours over the outcome. He gave voice to his emotions as follows: William Jennings Bryan has lost his grip on the Democratic party. Once a xi political czar, the Commoner has descended to the level of a simple worker in the ranks. The 1924 convention which blasted the cherished hopes of more than one statesman, witnessed the passing of Bryan as a power in his party. It is probable that Bryan went to madison Square Garden firmly convinced that his spell over men of his own political faith was not yet broken. Given the psychological moment, and he could still sway a convention with the magic of his words. He believed perhaps, that moment had come when he took the platform and pledged the cause of William G. McAdoo. The effectiveness of that effort must have disillusioned him to a great extent. He did McAdoo no good. The star of the Californiaian was destined to wane. Bryan only revealed impotency in attempting to keep it at the high level of its brilliance. With his first choice definitely out of the race Bryan enlisted under the standard of E. T. Meredith. It is said the Commoner made strong personal annuals in behalf of the iowan. They fell on dear ears. Meredith made a brief spurt and then slowed down to almost a standstill in the face of a rising tide of sentiment for John W. Davis. It will be remembered too that Bryan was stoutly opposed to the nomination of the West Virginian; yet once the convention was allowed to acutummede there was an irresistible sweep toward Davis. Obviously, the delegates refused to take the Commoner seriously. William Jennings Bryan has passed as a power in the Democratic party. Hereafter he will be numbered among the more humble of the party workers. Evidently, he went home to rest easy only to find in the later edition of his own newspaper, the announcement that Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, brother of Hon. William Jennings-Bryan had been named on the same ```markdown ``` See List of Prizes on Page 3 ```markdown ``` ticket as candidate for Vice-President. If from the Bryan view-point, the ticket is weighted down with a Davis at the head from an anti-Bryan view-point, it is anchored by a dead-weight in the form of a Bryan at the "tail" and it will be utterly unable to get any where in its present pedicament. The failure to name a Catholic on the ticket, when that great Catholic Statesman, Senator Walsh declined guarantees opposition from that quarter. Disgruntled Democrats of the higher order are consoling themselves with the fact that even should the American people lose their minds and support the ticket, a statesman of the highest type will occupy the presidential chair at Washington. The almost unanimous opinion in the country is that President Calvin Coolidge, if he lives will have four years more in the National Capital of the nation. Colored people know how to pray and they do it. They have peny of faith, but they have a peculiar way of showing it. Traveling heaven-ward is like going over the roads in Virginia during this rainy season. You'll have a hard time of it. People, who imagine that all southern white folks are their enemies are making the mistake of their lives. They like some colored people and some other colored people they do not like and this is the way of the world. The best way to find out how to treat others is to treat them just as you would have them treat you. The average Democrat in this section reads the name on the first part of the Democratic ticket with a prayer of thanks and the name on the last part of the same ticket with a curse of damnation. Those in the western states do the same thing with conditions reversed. You can make trouble for yourself by the way you look, just as some other people can make trouble for themselves by the way they speak. The transfer to Wilmington, N. C. of Rev. M. F. Gregory, is universally regretted here. He identified himself with the citizens here in such a way as to be regarded as one of us. Hood Temple, A. M. E. Zion Church prospered under his administration. Richmond's loss is Wilmington's gain, but we certainly hoped to have him round out his five year term here. We extend sympathy to the Savan nah Journal in the loss of Editor E. W. Sherman. He died July 1st at Augusta Ga., where he had gone for treatment. It emphasizes the fact that 'death loves a shining mark.' Read the Planet. Urge your friends to do the same thing. Do not kindle in your children a hatred of white people. We have to live here. Teach them self-defense and urge them to be kindly disposed to every one and all will be well in the end. Some people are raised to nurture a disposition to kill those, who injure them in any way or who may be accounted their enemies. They place a low value upon human life. In doing this they are saving up trouble for themselves. All wrong-doing, has within it the elements for the punishment of the one practicin git. We can see the result of education without Godly, moral training by visiting the dives and the realm of the under-world. The churches will ultimately be forced to look after the cradle, as well as those, who have grown to man and woman-hood from the cradle. See L Prize Pa THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA Two colored athletes, DeHart Hubbard of the University of Michigan and E. O. Gourdin of Harvard won championship honors in the great Olympic Athletic Meet in France. Despite all obstacles, the colored brother continues to march to the front. These white folks are constantly ruining our colored folks by their bad examples. Colored folks are always imitating white folks and they will not be satisfied until they have staged a convention as bad as the Democratic National Convention in New York. The two leading horses in the contest for the Democratic nomination, when they found, out they could not complete the race, they tore up the track in such a manner that even a thorough-bred dark horse could not make the race with any prospect or hope of success. Governor Alfred E. Smith did not kin, but he had the 'time of his life.' The governorship of New York is really worth more than the presidency of the United States. One has more honor attached to the position and that's all. When you fall down, get up and try again]. This applies to Hon. William G. McAdoo as well as to everybody else. We all sympathized with the disting- ished occupant of the White House in the loss of his son, Calvin Coolidge, Jr. The only wonder of it all is how he could have so many high-pri- ced physicians and surgeons with all of the modern appliances to save human life and then achieve such unsatisfact- ory results. When God calls you, there is nothing to do but to obey. Liberia wants self-supporting emigrants and that is all there is to it. She does not want those of the good-for-nothing type. We presume the country is over-flowing with those kind of people already. CONCILIATION COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS INDEPENDENCE DAY ORATOR AT MINERS' CONFAB (Preston news Service.) BLUEFIELD, W. VA., July 10. Attorney Karl F. Phillips, newly appointed Commissioner of Conciliation in the U. S. Department of Labor was the orator of the day at the Fourth of July celebration and conference of the Miners' Welfare Meeting of the Poachontas district, at Poachontas, Va. Commissioner Phillips said in part: 'Our race invested two hundred million dollars in Liberty Bonds; we have 72 banks, 36 insurance companies, 218.97 farms, 320 newspapers, 50 building and loan associations and church property worth eighty-seven million dollars. When it is considered that 61 years ago we started with empty hands, I cannot see why we should be discour ADVANCEMENT OF NEGRO LABOR "Four million, eight hundred and twenty-four thousand one hundred and fifty-one colored people in the United States ten years of age and over, are engaged in gainful occupations in the onward march of American Independence. In agriculture and forestry there are 2,178,888; in the extraction of minerals there are 73,229; in the manufacturing and mechanical industries there are 312,421; in trade occupations there are 140,467; in public service there are 80,552; in professional service there are 80,183; in domestic and personal service there are 1,064,590; and in clerical occupations there are 37,011. "In the mines there are 598 foremen overseers and inspectors; 25 operative officials and managers; 54,432 coal mine operatives; 71 copper mine operatives; 85 gold and silver mine operatives; 5,312 iron mine operatives; 280 lead and zinc mine operatives; 6,305 quarry operatives; 1,844 oil, gas and salt well operatives; and 3,000 unclassified mine workers. These are colored men and women—contributions to American independence. They represent approximately one-thirteenth of the entire mining forces of America. WATCHFULNESS OF GOVERNMENT "Unlike many nations, which have risen to false fame upon the labor of list of es on ge 3 their people, without just rewards to them in the way of the privilege of self government and the unlimited chance to contribute to, and share in, the advancement of their country, America has sought to conserve her efficient labor forces' whose toil and whose productive value have eventually received high considerations from a government which is truly one of the people, no matter how meek or lowly a single human unit may be. This regard is just one, for, after all, it is the masses of workers who have made possible our advance to world leadership. INCREASE IN SKILLED CLASSES. "The past ten years have witnessed the greatest advancement of Negro labor that America has ever seen. With in this period we have moved into a calm era of full work and fair wages. "Of particular interest to the whole country has been the gradual increase in the inclusion of skilled Negro labor in American industrial life. This is true in such typical pursuits as are necessary in the production of some of our most needed articles. In New York City. I found that one of the large transit companies is now opening its occupations, almost without exception to colored workers. .....More and more as an element of the American group the colored worker is realizing his ambitions and opportunities." Social improvements, educational advancement and community interests were fittingly dwellled upon by Commissioner Phillips. Many of the members of the Miners' Walk. Conference declared that Commissioner Phillips had delivered one of the most practical and instructive addresses it had been their pleasure to hear for many years. Commissioner Phillips who is known throughout the country because of his long and expert service in the Labor Department, stressed the labor question in a most comprehensive manner; racial progress and the functions of the Government as related to community life in America were explained in a very instructive manner. An enthusiastic, but thoughtful audience was in attendance. The Methodist Episcopal church was crowded. Hundreds had to be turned away because of inability to gain admission to the church auditorium. Following the conference Commissioner Phillips left for Chicago, IL., on official business. ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE GREETINGS.

OLYMPIC STADIUM, COLOMBELS, FRANCE, July 8—The Stars and Stripes waved triumphantly tonight over the Olympic Stadium, the third of the Olympic games having witnessed a great battle for international athletic supremacy, in which the United States put its strongest rival, Finland to rout in two of the three finals contested and took almost a two-to-one lead in the point struggle. The two Americans crowned as new Olympic champions were DeHart Humbard, the University of Michigan's Negro star, who won in the broad jump, with 24 feet, 6 inches and Clarence Houser, University of Southern California whose winning toss in the shot put, was 49 feet, 2-1-2 inches. SCORES IN FIELD The United States scored an unexpected overwhelming victory over Finland in the shot put, taking four of the six places, with Gleen Hartrant; Leand Stanford second, and Ralph G. Hills, Princeton, third, thus for the first time in the 1924 games sending Old Glory up the three stadium stands to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and amid one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations yet enacted. Although the United States came through sensationally in the field events, scoring altogether 36 points in the broad jump and shot put honors, the third final of the day went to Great Britain, whose great half-miler, D. G. A. Lowe, college mate of Harold Abrams, the Nemesis of the American sprinters, won the thrilling 300-meter run from the swiftest field of middle-distance men in the world. LUIS FIRPO SAILS FOR U. S. A. CHEEZED AS HE LEAVES FOR BOUT WITH HARRY WILLS. WILL BE HIS OWN TRAINER Says He Will Let Nobody Advise Him and Takes Along Own Sparr- ing, Partner, and Cook --- BUENOS ARIES, July 3.—Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavyweight, sailed for New York Thursday aboard the American Legion to prepare for his fight with Harry Wills. Several hundred admirers at the dock to bid the boxer farewell. Firpo is accompanied by a retinue consisting of a retinue consisting of a secretary, private cook, sparring partner business agent and publicity man. Juan Homs, the agent here for Tex Rickard who spent nearly three months persuading Firpo to return to the ring, also sailed. The Argentine heavyweight declared he did not propose to engage a trainer in the United States. He was not sure that he would even engage American sparring partners, relying upon his own ring-mate who is popularly known here as "Firpito." owing to his resemblance to Luis Angel. Firpo's private cook, who is also a good boxer, will be used as sparring material. The cook, by the way is a most important member of the Firpo entourage. Besides being a good boxer, he is also a "gaucheo" or cow-puncher. But it is as a cook that he is Firpo's pet. Firpo said that he was taking his own cook along in order to insure that his style to which he is accustomed. Ameri can cooking, he said, caused him indigestion. "This time," declared the South American battler, "I am not going to accept advice from anybody but myself. I am going to be the architect of my own fortunes. Knocking out Wills will be the least of my troubles. What will trouble me more will be people who want to tell me what to do and how to do it." Regarding his plans after the Wills fight, Firpo said they were very uncertain. He said it would depend upon develoments whether he would return to Buenos Aires immediately or not. ST.

(Preston News Service) PTITSBURGH, Pa., July 10—Unleashing a hitting attack that was im possible to stop, and batting two House of David pitchers to all corners of spa cious Forbes Field: home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Homestead Grays defeated the club from Benton Harbor Michigan 14-2 in a game devoid of any unusual thrills. Rile formerly with Rube Foster's American Giants twirled masterly ball for the Grays, setting down the ope position with five scattered bingles. The visitors scored all of their runs in one inning, a hit batsman, an error and a triple doing the work. The Grays collected 14 hits, Cannady, Gray and "Scrapy" Brown doing most of the stick-work. GRAYS SIGN NEW CATCHER. EASTERN STARS FAIL TO APPEAR (Preston News Service) PITTSEURGH, Pa., July 10—The Homestead Grays management, following the 10-10 tie with the Finkelhorns Wednesday night, secured the services of Chet Foreman, formerly with Cleve land and the Columbus Buckeyes, to replace Beckwith behind the bat. Manager Posey announced that all efforts to get two Eastern stars had fallen through, and that these men would remain with the club they are now playing with until the end of the present season. JOHNSON, HUBBARD, GOURDIN SURE TO PLACE IN OLYMPICS (Special Cable to Preston News Service.) PARIS, France, July 10—The U. S. Olympic team bearing the cream of the athletic talent of the race is hard at their training stunts in this city, the most fashionable in the world. While the white athletes are not yet accustomed to seeing pretty white women on the arms of Negro men, the colored athletes on the team are receiving jobs of publicity. The French journals are loud in their praise of Johnson, Gourdin and Hubbard, comparing their records, it seems a certainty that unless misfortune falls up on some of the members of this remarkable trio, they will place. Gourdin at present hold the world's record for the broad jump, and Hubbard, the University of Michigan star is the greatest all-round athlete on the team. He is expected to win in both the broad jumps and the hop, step and jump. Neither one, according to experts, have a whole lot of opposition. Earl Johnson entered in the 10,000 metres, on the other hand, has his work cut out for him. Running against the best of the Finns can prduce. Earl will be forced to call upon all his reserve strength and wonderful ability to cop. However, he is showing remarkable form in the tryouts, and while his time is not being given out a general air of optimism prevails in the J. S. camp in connection with this event, and it is believed that Johnson will win a place. CRUTCHFIELD IS WINNER OVER "TUT" JACKSON.

Jackson outweighed his opponent by close to 20-pounds, but Crutchfield showed a willingness to mix and led the fighting in every round. SAITCH PICKED TO WIN THE NATIONAL TENNIS CROWN. Miss Isadore Channels Looks Like 3 Time Winner Among Women. (Preston News Service) Edgar G. Brown, writing in the Pittsburgh Courier anent the tennis situation, says the following: E. Saitch, the brilliant New York star and favorite of last season, has learned his lesson. 'No one can be a national champion without an offensive backhand.' is one of the unwritten secrets which has been my belief from the day, eleven years ago, when I first was loaned a copy of the late Anthony Wilding's book on tournament tennis, written about the time that he and the veteran Norm E. Brooks towered above all others in this great international game. Anthony Wilding, as great as the game has known, gave his life in the Great War a true hero. His friend and partner, now 45 years of age, upholds the still traditions of greatness and the prowess of his noble father before him by defeating the hard-hitting American and 1923 runner-up at Wimbledon in a match that went five sets, requiring the best of physical stamina and reserve energy. No reason one should ever have to stop playing good tennis, the kind requires much "skuffling" and wasted effort, does not come under the head of the modern American driving game—forhand and backhand. In a practice match recently, I had the pleasure of bowing before the inevt table, when I drove hard to Mr. Satchts backhand; he coolly returned with a fast and well-directed which completely caught me off my guard. I was surprised that this sophisticated youngster had taken oft-repeated advice and had actually acquired a formidable backhand drive by serious application. The new offensive of the New Yorker will be a formidable obstacle in the pathway of my friend Ted Thompson, who must always be looked upon as a most dangerous contestant for No. 1 place. My first partner back in St. Louis Richard Hudkin now in Championship was going good in early season and his drive has greatly improved by special attention during the winter months and may cause some unlooked for upsets. I understand neither Talley Holmes nor Sylvester Holmes are playing this year; it would not effect the results much if they were, as the driving game is too far above the chop strokes. Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago has quietly stepped aside to watch from the sidelines, where it is easier to tell what ought to be done, however, I shall be near him and may be next year, we will be at it again. E. Saitch and his newly acquired backhand are going to be hard for any one to beat this year. Miss Isadore Channels, from the form shown at Wilberforce, though she lost one set, will not have much trouble repeating in August and taking the cup to Chicago. The only hand cap to good tennis for the Nationals in Baltimore are the poor courts, facing in the wrong direction. GREEB-TIGER FLOWERS BOUT IS CANCELLED (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa. July 10—Harry Mason, who for years has been con- nected with the rise of middleweight champion Harry Greb, last week, can belled a tentative match with Tiger Flowers, the Atlanta Sensation, which was to have been fought in Fremont, Ohio on August 14th. Flowers has been on the trail of Greb and Mike McTigue for more than a year, offering to meet either one of them for little or nothing. It is believed in boxing circles that Mason figured Flowers too tough a nut for Greb to attempt to crack. SURVIVORS OF DEMOCRATIC AFTER 6 YEARS, SAYS ROGERS CONVENTION WILL GET BONUS (By Will Rogers.) I am in favor of taking the platform and making a motion that the convention adjourn and let the election go by default. This thing has got to come to an end. These delegates and visitors may not know it, but right where they are sitting and sleeping every day is New York's municipal swimming hole. Summer is on us here and you visitors are depriving New York of their annual bath. I suggested to Tex Rickard, who runs the Garden (when Taggart, Mack and Brennan are not here.) that he turn water on during the balloting. I think the delegates would welcome a bath while here. I met an old man on the street yesterday with a long beard. He could remember when this thing started. New York invited you people here as guests not to live. One delegation told me yesterday that they either had to move to more modest quarters or to a more liberal candidate. These halves and quarters and eighths and sixteenths of delegates make it awful hard for a buyer to get to all of them. You may buy off fifteen and the fellow who controls the sixteenth will try and hold you up and you are stuck. In years to come children will say, "Father, were you in the big war?" and father will say, "No, son, but I went through the New York convention." In six years the people of the United States will be paying a bonus to the delegates who survived this convention. And the tough part of it is that it is not like the convention that you read about in the papers 64 years ago that had to move from Charleston to Baltimore. They can't move this one. They have tried it and no other town will take it. A second-hand convention is one of the hardest things to get rid of in the world. For instance, why should Claremore Okla, (the best town on Dog Creek), bind themselves to sit day after day and listen to "Alabama, twenty-four votes. Alabama, twenty-four votes for Oscar W. Underwood. Total v tes cast 1,098. Necessary to elect 732. No one having received the required two-thirds the secretary will call the roll again." If any of you feel badly at not having been able to attend, why there is your convention right in those last few lines above. If Alabama changes her vote we will never find it out, for just through force of habit they will say "Underwood for days to come. But she will run at least another week for Bryan is going to make another er speech. Today is the Fourth of July. I suppose somebody will read the Declaration of Independence, and then Alabama will vote twenty-four for Underwood instead of Thomas Jefferson. After it is read, somebody will bring in a city council report on it. Some one prayed again today at the opening. But they are beginning to lose interest even in prayer, as some of their prayers up to now have been answered. Oh, what a bone-headed move I made by signing up with the papers to write this convention for so much for the whole thing. I have spent more in tax fares and lead pencils than I have been paid. The next one I will be smart enough to get paid by the month. I have a nominating speech that I want to take the platform and make, but Bryan has blocked my every move. He is jealous of two monologists going on the same bill. You have to have unanimous consent to be allowed to speak and I have all the thousand and ninety-seven votes—all but Bryan's. The Democratic Party has got to start breaking in some younger man to take Bryan's place in a few years. So why don't they take me. But I guarantee you one thing, my friends. While I may never be able to YOU NEED NOT FAIL AUTODASTER "Breakfast in New York and supper in San Francisco" is the dream realized by Lieut.

Well, that was my rope, and if he rises to speak on a point of order he exits via the rope. The thing has just got to break pretty soon, as the women delegates badges are wearing holes through their shirt waists and the convention will turn into an exposure in two more days. Another reason I know it can't last much longer is that the women who sit in front, on the speakers' platform are about to run out of different hats to wear. They would rather lose the election than wear the same hit twice. Princess Bibesco, with a bright red one on yesterday, was all that kept the Oklahoma men delegates from bolting the convention. I am sitting at my typewriter sound asleep, but I can still write "Alabama twenty-four for Oscar W. Underwood." That is better known right now in this building than the Lord's Prayer. The Secretary will call the role again. LOSING JOB AT MAN WORJ; SHOOTS MAN WHO BARS HIM (Preston News Service) MOUNT CARMEL. Pa., July 10.

Va. Bapt. State Convention Raises $30,000.00 For Missions & Education. Sabbatical Jubilee Proves Great Success at Lynchburg-Able Sermons and Addresses Delivered-Va. Seminary Ablaze while Four Conventions Meet. 81X (Charles Stewart) LYNCHBURG, VA., June 30. With the preachment of the doctrine of self-help, and placing on the table over thirty thousand dollars for missions and education, the Sabbatical sessions of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, the Women's Baptist State Convention, the Sunday School State Convention and the B. Y. P. U. Convention passed into history yesterday, as the greatest in the history of the organization, and the influence of the meeting was far reaching. MANY DELEGATES The sessions were all held on Seminary Hill, and the Virginia Seminary and College was able to accommodate many of the delegates. Dr Thomas Jefferson King, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, who is regarded as a sane and safe leader of the Baptists of Virginia was reelected president, and has started on a new year with a determination to do more than any time in the history of the convention for the work. There were many visitors. The Sabbatical Jubilee session opened Tuesday morning, June 24, at 10 o'clock. Dr. T. J. King presiding, who in calling the convention to order made some remarks, expressing pride in seeing such a large delegation present for work, those who interested in the convention The Rev. J. A. Howell, D. D. conducted the devotionals assisted by Revs. W. A. Baker, of Norfolk and T. W. Jackson. Acts 26 was read as scripture lesson. The Rev. Dr. A. Galvin, of Newport News, discussed the call of the Sabbatical Session as being heavenly and divine. One of the features of the opening was the song service. REV. DR. WOODS SPEAKS. Addresses of welcome followed. Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College presided during the delivery of the addresses of welcome. He turned over to the president of the convention the keys of the institution, saying that the teachers, and students were to serve the convention, and the people of the city were glad to have the meeting in Lynchburg, and just how glad they were, would be expressed in speakers who had been selected for that purpose. The first address was delivered by President John Victor of the Peoples National Bank. He was followed by the Rev. Dr. N. W. James, of the First Baptist Church who extended welcome in the name of the white Baptists. He was followed by Rev. C. D. Allen, who represented the colored Baptists. OTHER ADDRESSES. Representing other denominations the Rev. Dr. T. Haines, pastor of the Jackson Street Methodist Episcopal Church, extended welcome. Response to the welcome addresses were delivered by Miss Pearl Smith, representing the Norfolk Sunday School; Miss Lizzie R. Hinton, Norfolk, and Dr. R. H. Bowling, representing the Baptist State Convention. At the suggestion of Prof. J. S. Lee, president of the State Sunday School Convention a special collection was lifted. In the afternoon, Dr. T. J. King, president, delivered his annual address to the convention. It was full of inspiration as well as scholarly. Among other things, President King said; THE ANNUAL ADDRESS "This cold exacting world is asking, who are these assembled on this hallowed occasion and what right have you here? To this may we answer that we are the saints and follow-sufferers of noble fathers who counted not their lives dear to themselves, but made the supreme sacrifice under God that a day of greater glory might break on us, and wreath creation with a sacred aurora blessed and divine. As we contemplate this forward step today, methinks I hear a score of voices from our noble dead who despite records of their death, are yet alive, crying 'when you go take our bones with you and tell our progeny how nobly we wrought for them and how upon the altar of God we ladd down all and flung our lives into the very teeth of grim death that the souls of black men, too, might be awakened and prepared for battle. A POWERFUL APPEAL "Just two years removed from slavery, when the roar of cannon and the clash of arms had scarcely died away, when the bruised marks of the master's lash had not yet disappeared, when many of our exmasters sought to reduce us to another order of slavery, when our literacy was at the low tide of probably two per cent. before our institutional and business careers had begun, the seers of God saw for us not far removed, a better day and by faith and toll --- State Co $30,000.0 ons & Educ Hubilee Proves lynchburg--Able resses Deliver ry Ablaze wh onventions Me Administration Hall, Va. Seminary they sought to draw-it nigh. To this end in this early dawn, the Virginia Baptist State Convention was organized and dedicated to the great proposition of world redemption. A STRIKING CONTRAST. "Finding ourselves beset on every side by a stronger race, our weakness formed a striking contrast with that giant race, which a few hours before held its great foot fast upon our necks. The height looked dizzy distant and dangerous; but we heard a voice sweeter to the soul than the vibrating sounds of an eolian harp, crying, 'Black Man!' I say unto you, arise and climb! We were dazed by the dazzling light and confused by this voice; but we soon decided that the voice that called was divine and He who called would give triumph to the struggles. EVANGELISM NOT SUFFICIENT. "These great men of God soon found that evangelism alone was not sufficient to save the millions of souls from the coveting claws of demons. Evangelized souls had to be cultured, character formed and mind developed that the Kingdom might have an advocate that hell with all of its treachery could not cower or conquer. They stood as grasshoppers at the foot of a giant mountain with their much coveted goal on the opposite side. As black men of Tutankhamen's time forced their slaves to make brick without straw in keeping with the law of retributive justice, these men had to build homes, churches and schools without money. While they stood in bewilderment at the foot of this giant mountain obstructing their pathway, they bethought themselves as grasshoppers until Jehovah called from heaven and said, 'Black Man, out of the same blood, I made all nations and I made them men, and commanded them to go forth and conquer the earth. If you have faith, cash it in at heaven's bank and get power, and with this power go forth and conquer.'" Dr. W. B. Reed made an able adress made by President King. A FRATERNAL MESSAGE. The Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, president of the New England Baptist Convention was introduced and delivered a fraternal message. He formerly pastored in Lynchburg. Other officers report and then followed the election of officers as follows: T. J. King, Richmond, president; A. L. James, Roanoke, C. P. Madison, Norfolk, S. N. Daughtry, Carrsville, J. H. Harvey, Farmville, vice-presidents; C. E. Miller, East Radford, recording secretary; M. C. Allen, Lynchburg, corresponding secretary and superintendent of missions; W. F. Graham, Philadelphia, financial secretary; Deacon Alolphus Humbles, Lynchburg, treasurer; R. H. Bowling, Norfolk, auditor. DEACON HUMBLES RESIGNS Immediately following the election Deacon Adolphus Humbles, one of the wealthiest laymen in the country and who has served as treasurer of the convention for a quarter of a century, obtained the floor, stated that on account of his physical condition, he felt that he could not serve the convention longer as treasurer, and offered his resignation. It was accepted and Dr. W. T. Hall, of Danville was selected. Deacon Humbles was elected treasurer emeritus, and a committee was appointed to arrange for a medal to be presented to the faithful servant. The newly elected officers were installed by Dr. W. W. Brown, of New York, who made an eloquent address THE GREAT JUBILEE CHORUS. One of the features of the entire session was music by the Jubilee Chorus of one hundred voices. Mrs. M. J. Thompson, of Danville, a graduate from Hampton and one of the most active women in the State, sang a special Sabbatical song which she had prepared for the occasion, having written words and music. In this connection a prize had been offered for the best song and she won. The session was full of good things. REV. DR. AUSTIN PREACHES The Sabbatical sermon was preached Dr. T. J. King, President of the Virginia Baptist State Convention who presided at Great Jubilee. in the evening by the Rev. Dr. J. C. Austin, of Pittsburgh, a graduate from the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. The opening of devotional service were impressive. At the opening of the services, the Rev. Dr. #. C. Jackson, president of the New England Convention was presented and after a short address, presented the convention with $125 from the New England Convention. A vote of thanks was extended the convention. The sermon by Dr. Austin followed. It was a masterpiece of eloquence, analogy and logic. His theme was developed from the old patriarchs' guarding of the sacrifice upon the altar. FINANCIAL DAY. Wednesday was financial day and all the addresses, prayers and sermons touched that phase of the work. "O For A Closer Walk With God" was the hymn used to open the first service. The Rev. Dr. M. C. Allen was in charge. At 8 o'clock the annual missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. C. E. Jones, of Newport News from text, "Lift up your eyes and look on the field for they are white already to harvest," John iv:35. He said: LIKE A MIGHTY ARCHITECT. "Before we can do anything successfully we must be the architect of the situation and like a mighty architect, must see and be able to put into blue print everything in the building. This is the concrete idea that should characterize every true laborer of the Lord, see the field, lift up his eyes above the horizon, of selfish surroundings and material benefit, 'for my meat is not of this world,' says the Master. "As you see you go; as you see, you labor; as you see, so you sacrifice; as your vision, so your courage. All the great missionary work is enclosed in a spirit of vision. We must have a large spiritual vision in order to grasp the larger things for Christ. The spirit of missions is the spirit of Jesus." OTHER ADDRESSES Dr. J. E. East, of Philadelphia, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, was the next speaker. He told of the work being done by the National Baptist Convention in Africa. His address was pathetic. A plea for unity in the Baptist family was made by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown, of New York, Greetings from the General Association by Rev. Dr. Allen, pastor of the First Calvary Baptist Church, Norfolk, and presented the convention at the same time with a donation from the First Calvary Baptist Church, which was accepted with thanks. Thursday was a busy as well as interesting day, as visitors, presidents of state conventions and representatives of the National Baptist Convention were presented and spoke. Perhaps at no time in the history of the convention were there so many able men from various parts of the country. GENERAL ASSOCIATION REPRESENTED. Dr. T. J.

He brought greetings from the General Association of Virginia as well as from the Queen St. Baptist Church, of which he is pastor. He spoke on "The Contribution of Negro Baptists Toward Christian Education." Concluding his address he presented $25, from the Baptist Ministers Union of Norfolk. PRES. L. K. WILLIAMS THERE. Dr. L. K. Williams, of Chicago, president of the National Baptist Convention was presented, and delivered an able address which was punctuated with outburst of applause. He told of the work being done by the National Baptist Convention the ownership of the Sunday School Publishing Board, the erection of a building which will cost a half million dollars, saying it was the work of a Negro Baptist architect, and was being erected by a Negro contractor, deacon in a Baptist Church. Dr. J. C. Austin responded. Dr. Williams won many friends in Virginia, and a large number declared that they would attend the session of the National Baptist Convention in Nashville. In the afternoon, the Rev. Dr. C P. Madison introduced Dr. J. E. Woods, of Danville, Kentucky, president of the unincorporated convention. Dr. Woods delivered an eloquent and scholarly address. DR. WOODSON SPEAKS. The convention was addressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, of Washington, the Historian. He told something of the achievements of the Negro race, and he concluded his address by showing in a tangible way his approval of the work being done in Virginia. He presented $25.

That’s interesting, as there is ‘not on a the ae of the earth any single sample of a pure breed, ‘whether of “Nordic,” Aryan, Sem- tic, Mongolian, African or Malay- sian strain. All the breeds were mixed up long ago, although they don’t know it. ‘That new Nordic state, by a ‘way, would exclude the eacanite ‘whose mother a Jewess. He, certainly, was not “purely Nordic.” .
