First P
In All
Quite a sensation was caused in this city Sunday night, when a boat load of excursionists were arrested upon a blanket warrant, sworn out by Town Sergeant J. C. Rebman, of Hopewell. The warrant charged 381 colored people, the majority of whom had never been in opewell, with being "fugitives from justice." As a result, the police patrol of this city was used to convey all of these people to the First Police Station, where most of the 381 people were bailed at $1.00 per head for their appearance on Wednesday, the 20th inst., at Hopewell, Va., to answer the charge of disorderly conduct.
Attorney Wise Retained
Attorney George E. Wise was retained as counsel and he went to Hopewell last Tuesday to investigate the situation. The case was postponed until the 30th. In conversation with him, he stated that he was well received by the Commonwealth Attorney, who stated that he had directed that the persons, who could be identified as taking a part in the disturbance be arrested. Instead, 381 persons were arrested, although not more than twenty persons were alleged to have taken a part in the disturbance.
No Landing Intended
It seems that a club, calling itself the "Southside Strutters", had given an excursion down the river for the benefit of the library fund. It was not intended to make a landing anywhere. It was one of the most orderly excursions that has ever left the city. The number on board the steamer was so much larger than expected, that Coke Pickrell, who had charge of the refreshments sold out and he induced the captain to make a landing at Hopewell with the idea of replenishing his stock.
The Greek's Shop
When Hopewell was reached and the boat docked many went ashore and they visited a Greek's shop to get bread, etc. He was unable to supply the demand and as the excursionists were buying from him, the steamer's whistle blew. Some of them threw the money down on the counter, while a few others having some of his goods hurried to the boat to avoid the police. He was also in affair to the town sergeant and he hurried to Richmond by the automobile route and was at the dock with a blanket warrant.
Small Loss
Mr. Wise interviewed Joe Smith, a colored man, who has a shoe shop next door and he stated that the Greek history was his passion. (Continued on Page.)

IN MEMORIAM
In sad but loving memory of my little daughter, Dorothy D. Neal, who departed this life three years ago, August 21, 1921.
My thoughts are always wandering To the grave not far away; Where they laid my dear little Dor-
Can I help but feel so lonely,
When her voice I do not hear;
For no words were ever sweeter,
Than the words she spoke so dear.
Cheery ways, her smiling face,
Are pleasures to recall;
She had a friendly word for each,
And died beloved by all.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her work on earth is done;
Her troubles are all ended,
Her heavenly crown is won.
Never shall we cease to love her,
Never shall her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts forever linger,
Around the grave where she is laid.
Each hour comes to me anew,
With bitter sense of loss;
Oh, God, in mercy pity us,
And help us to bear our cross.
Her devoted mother,
JANNIE NEAL.
The American Woodmen Here
Successful Meeting----A Grand Parade----Females in Military Department----Opening Exercises Staged----A Great Financial Showing.
CONSTITUTION OF VIRGINIA
ARTICLE I, SECTION 10—That general warrants, whereby an officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or TO SEIZE ANY PERSON OR PERSONS NOT NAMED, or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive, and ought not to be granted.
"Probable cause" (or good cause) is a reasonable ground of suspicion, supported by circumstances sufficiently strong in themselves to warrant a cautious man in his belief that the person accused is guilty of the offense with which he is charged.—Spengler v. Davy, 15 Grat. 388. See Scott and Boyd v. Shelor, 28 Grat. 891.
For the first time in the history of this city the District Convention of the American Woodmen staged a most creditable parade here during its deliberations at the Hood Memorial Temple A. M. E. Z. Church. The occasion was last Tuesday and the Uniform Rank, composed of both male and female, participated. Both of the local Elks' Bands were in the parade, which was headed by the American Woodmen Band of Philadelphia. A line of floats followed the procession. For the first time, two female officers appeared astride of horses with their male companions while other females marched in line in military formation.
SEC. 3914—WHEN TO ISSUE WARRANT OF ARREST: If it appear proper, such conservator shall issue a warrant, reciting the complaint, and requiring the person complained of forthwith to be apprehended and brought before him or some other conservator.—1877,-8 p. 317.
A warrant directing the "associates" of the person named to be arrested, without mentioning the names of such associates, is illegal and void as to them.—Wells v. Jackson, 3 Munf. 458—CODE OF VIRGINIA.

MR. PERKINS' CHILD KILLED
A sensation was caused in the neighborhood of Fifth and Baker Streets when one of the heavy Highland Park cars struck and killed Walter R. Percins last Sunday morning between 11 and 12 o'clock. The boy was only 6 years of age and a few moments before had left his parents' residence at 408 E. Baker Street, going towards Fifth Street. The child was on the crossing, going towards the drug store when struck by the heavy car. A large crowd quickly gathered and the mutilated remains turned over to Funeral Director Clarence P. Hayes.
The unfortunate child was the son of Mr. W. R. and Mrs. Ida B. Perkins. Mrs. Perkins is daughter of Deacon E. T. Coleman, sexton of the Fifth St. Baptist Church. Attorney James T. Carter was busy at the spot measuring distances and getting information concerning the accident, he having been retained by the unfortunate child's parents to protect their interests. The motorman, W. M. Parker was placed under arrest and taken into custody by Detective Sergeant Frank I. Gentry upon the charge of involuntary manslaughter.
The motorman admitted that he had no time to apply brakes successfully, claiming that the boy ran in front of the car. Coroner Whitfield did not deem inquest necessary. One of the boy's legs was severed, and the other one broken. The head was crushed the

COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES"
By "THE CAMERAMAN."
1—SEGREGATION PERSONIFIED. 2—THE VETERAN TELEGRAPHER.
3—NEGRO MIGRATION CLOSES SILK MILL—(From: The Journal of Commerce.)
4—PEACEFUL POLITICS—NO. IV. 5—FALSE PROPHETS.
(Preston News Service)
have been operating in Fayetteville for thirty-five years, are not to be reopened by the present company. The mills closed down March 15, 1924, because of market conditions. They will stay closed because of the migration of the Negro labor to the North. Running full force, the mills employed 600 Negro operatives. They were not running full force when closed. The payroll had dwindled down to $1,000 a week. From their establishment only Negro labor has been used. The company owns seventy houses, most of which are occupied by former helpers now making a living as best they may in Fayetteville and Fort Brayg.
PRESIDENT J. W. GREGORY OF THE GEOgraphical Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in his recent address at Toronto, Canada, has stepped right squarely upon the gas accelerator of imagination by saying that a colored free state in America is what is needed to solve the so-called racial problem. The learned scientist, after stating that the betterment of the human race could be made possible by fusion, but that modern students of eugenics are emphatic in their beliefs that a weak, inferior offspring of undesirable tendencies would accrue from such a practice, pointed out that a "southeastern state" of Negroes might be formed, with a special measure of home rule under some department of federal jurisdiction. In such a state, so the discourse of the scientist asserts, the Negro race might dwell in peace and harmony, in agriculture and industry, quarantined, as it were, from the other races of the good old U. S. A.
The company is solvent. It owns the mills free and clear, with seven and a half acres of land, and a pond, with inexhaustible springs, which feed the sprinkler system in the three buildings. There are two three-story buildings, 50x250 feet and one building one-story high, 100x45 feet. There are also 3,000 acres of land in Cumberland county, the property of the Hawthorne Company.
Had the learned sociologist not previously sounded the warning that the 520,000,000 Negro people of the globe are engaging in reproduction more rapidly than the whites, we might have been moved by his discourse; but his allusions to the rising tide of color were apparently veneered by a thin layer of fear. This may have been due to the fact that upon reflection it is recalled that of the world population of one billion, seven hundred million persons, one billion three hundred million of them, or about 77 per cent. constitute the dark races. To imagine the remainder, or 23 per cent. of white peoples, attempting to segregate the 77 per cent. is almost a dream proposition.
Trouble about procuring sufficient labor began to be felt at the opening of the World War, says the manager. Negroes have been brought here from as far away as South Carolina, but they did not stay. They were tempted away, many of them to jobs in Fayetteville itself. Every possible effort has been made to get more, but the supply doesn't ekual demand. Talk of the return of any considerable number from the North is piffle, says the manager, and the mill cannot be operated as now organized by white labor.
However, the echoes of the doctor's sociological voice had scarcely ended before Dr. Hubert Harrison, a Negro educator and lecturer, rose and seconded Dr. Gregory's motion, through a press release ascribed to Dr. Harrison, in support of a Negro free state; and this, rather than what the Britisher said, has caused us to unscrew the cap of our trusty fountain pen and record our objections.

THE TRIANGULAR ROUTES OF POLITICAL progress now open to the BRETHREN seem to be causing a series of mental gyrations to the various camp-leaders; and, on the whole, it cannot be said that immediate relief is in sight. In Indiana, for instance, the latest news is to the effect that there has been a serious break between local leaders and a group of publicists who journeyed to the Hoosier Capitol on an admitted errand of mercy and good will. If this be true, it is unfortunate that misunderstandings have arisen; for Indiana is in need of firm coalition among all the BRETHREN, both far and near.
A free colored state in the U. S. A., or anywhere else, for that matter, upon a segregation basis, would place in mourning all the elements of democracy which we have ever been wont to revere. A cage may be all right for ferae naturae (animals wild by nature) but a geographical cage for American people and American institutions would be a literal burial ground for the hopes of a nation.
What is there in our political history which prescribes such personified segregation? Are the Constitution and the laws of both God and of man to be entirely scrapped by science and an aborted civilization? What need is there for geographical walls? In fact, what need is there to segregate the interests of the people of free America? If the theory of freedom is becoming an impracticable one, then it is for America's populace to examine their hearts and be born again. A review of world history of the segregation type might open the eyes of all proponents of the separate free state idea.
In New York, the probability of the diversion of Hon. Martin C. Ansorge, white, who was unsuccessful in his last Congressional run, to a vacancy on the General Sessions Bench, has led to the possibility of running ex-alderman, Dr. Charles H. Roberts, for Congress. This movement has gained such weight that some brave New York gentleman wrote to President Coolidge, protesting the mere thought of a Negro coming to Congress. President Coolidge, however, replied by saying that he had sworn to uphold the Constitution, and that there was nothing in it which barred colored men from seeking Congressional seats.
The baneful effects of the segregated school, the segregated railway coach, the segregated city areas, the segregated grave yards, and the dream, perhaps, of a segregated Heaven, are far more eloquent than the advocacies of these two scientists. With additional proofs that Jesus Christ may have been of the dark races, if segregation were put in practice the hereafter might be as lonesome for the whites as a ship which the rats have deserted
Dr. Charlie Roberts is a fine fellow, and if the Harlemites will agree to run the political boat with an even stroke, the good-natured dentist may find himself in Washington. There are, of course, other factors, too. For instance, Alderman John Smith and Assemblyman Henri W. Shields of Tammany Hall—(Well, perhaps we'd better save that until next time.) From Chicago comes the rumor that the Dickerson-For-Congress boom was a hoax. Who knows, though? The Windy City is noted for disquietude, and even though this boom may be dormant now, it's likely to reassert itself at any time. We opine, however, that it'll be a hard job to shake down the First Illinois District, whose voting habits are well defined. Therefore, much interest is being manifested in the activities of G. Victor Cools, National Director of the La Follette campaign among colored people. It is said that Cools who is a youngster of only 34 summers, and who has an expert knowledge of politics and economics, as well as a full understanding of the ways of the BRETHREN, may cause a greater defection than any one else in the rank and file of Negro voters.
Away with such fanciful dreams, and on with Joseph's coat of many colors, beautiful to behold and worn by the one beijing the one nation, the children of God, Himself, whom we all worship here below; and whose mysteries of races and color and habitat, which we cannot, yea, which we need not understand, are insignificant when compared with Christian devotjon and brotherly love.

OUT IN CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS, ON THE main line of the Illinois Central Railroad, in a telegraph booth, there sits a veteran telegraph operator, who has been tapping out the Morse alphabet for nearly fifty years. To be more accurate, on December 24, 1874, J. H. Kelley was given his chance to master the mysteries of the Morse code and the telegraph key. Since that time he has been a telegrapher for the Illinois Central. We met him last week. He was taking his first vacation. n Hale and hearty, with every white glistening tooth that God had given him, and with an everlasting smile. Kelley, who is now 73 years of age—and he looked like 37 instead of 73—gr. sped our hands in a grip that was without a tremble, and said "Howdy" in true Illinois style.
At any rate, we think you'll agree that the variated routes of political trend are having a far more marked effect upon the BRETHREN than you ever dreamed of. And each day, it grows more and more complex.

DOWN IN SWELTERING WASHINGTON, D. C., beautiful, but hot, oh, so hot, some public-spirited citizens, after many attempts, were able to induce the city government to open the Howard Swimming Pools at night, for the benefit of those who toiled the livelong day and who had no 10x15 porcelain bathtubs for cooling as well as cleansing purposes.
On the Illinois Central Kelley handles about 31 trains a day, which he has dispatched through his block for years and years, without a single mishap. Little do travelers know, as they journey this route from the heart of the Mississippi Valley to Chicago, when the semaphores at Carbondale swing up and down, and the red signals change to green and yellow, that a colored telegrapher has given their train the O. K. on its thundering way.
Whereupon, it is reported that a group of Baptist ministers went en masse to the supervisor of municipal playgrounds, and amid sighs and sobs, prayed that the pools be not opened—that immorality and indecency would follow in the wake of its opening—that our people were not to be trusted at a night swimming pool.
They ride on in ignorance at what they would consider an impossibility if they knew; and the Illinois Central officials, who have been wise to the situation for the full fifty years of Kelley's telegraphic existence, know that Kelley is merely an efficient, tried and true telegrapher. They've forgotten that he is a Negro.
No graver indictment was ever drawn against an innocent people. No meaner type of suspicion was ever unloosed by the minds of men. We always thought that if there was any one thing in which Baptist preachers believed there was virtue, it was water—WATER. But we were mistaken. How sad for us; and how sad for the Baptist preachers, who fear water in the night-time. How sad it is that sweltering Washington's colored people can find no relief from the heat, at night. Immoral! Bosh! Bunk, one hundred and ten proof!
Kelley has economic brains as well as telegraphic speed and ability, and out of his $200 per month salary, he's managed to become the owner of a $22,000 home at 456 East 46th St., Chicago, where you can find him yourself on rest days, if you want to verify what we've just told you about him. Here's truly an example in ability, thrift and persistent effort. May Kelley live long and prosper.

faults.
‘The funeral services of Principal
James Frank McKoy, of Gregory Ave.
Public School, took place Friday af-
ternoon at 2 d’clock at the Fifth Ave.
Presbyterian Church. Many of Roa-
noke’s most talented citizens were
present to pay their respects. Mr.
Macquitton, the president of the
school board of the city, in his re-
marks spoke in the most commend-
able terms of the life of the deceased.
He is gone but not forgotten. He
will long live in the hearts of the

Church Sunday, August 17: Sunday
School at 9:20 A. M., Rev. Geo. Jhil-
lips, superintendent. At 11 A. M.
Rev, W. R. Howerton, D. D., deliv-
ered. a very helpful’ sermon from
Paul’s second letter to Timothy, Ist
chapter Sth verse: “Be not thou
therefore ashamed of the testimony
of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner;
but be thou partaker of the afflictions
of the gospel according to power of
God.” Subject: “False Shame.” He
referred to customs and habits of 30
years ago, which would have been a
Shame, but nowadays would not cause
the most cultured or refined to even
blush in any circle of society. These
are the very things that St. Paul
warned Timothy against in that re-
mote page of the Christian era. If it
were dangerous then they must be
Just as injurious nowadays.

"The absence of white persons was es-
pecially noted, none being observable
from a point of vantage, although
they had done so much to do the de-
ceased honor.
Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, who
was invited on the last evening of
the Tidewater Peninsula Baptist As-
sociation and Woman's Baptist Edu-
cational Convention, in session in
‘Newport News ,to speak in eulogy of
‘the late Giles B. Jackson, who died
on Wednesday, August 13th, had this
to say:
“Giles B. Jackson, ripe in years and
rich in honors, has fallen asleep.
Seventy-six years of age, he lived to
‘see wonders wrought in this old world
‘of ours and contributed heartily of
the best that was in him to the sum
total of Negro progress in America,
To do this, he often was the butt of
bitter ridicule and unthinking eriti-
cism; but, undaunted, he kept. the
even ‘tenor of his way, happy that his
own people had so far advanced in
civilization as to adopt the age-old
Mhabit of throwing stones at the man
ahead.
“He loved his own people, and may-
haps at times, leaned too far in the
direction of our brothers of the other
race; but no man is perfect. Giles
B. Jackson knew, and realized, per-
haps, better than’ any public man of
our race in the South, that there is no
good reason why all men, of what-
ever color or religion, should not
love the one the other. Black, he cer-
tainly was a Negro, and for whatever
of worth he attained in his long, busy
life, no race but ours can claim the
honor. None but ours gave to him
those qualities of love, patience, faith
and vision that made him known, in
all our states wherever unusual merit
is recognized. God rest his soul.”

Although he had meant to be perfectly proper about delivering the message, Father and Mr. Wright both heard Johnson's words. There must be a complex in every woman for occupying the center of the stage, for, even though I knew the message was bad form it thrilled me to have some one clamoring for my presence.
I apologized and left the table.
It was Ted. "Come on, Sallie, the gang's outside," he said enthusiastically. "We're going on a party out at Yates and give Alma's dance the art. Make it snappy, we've got thermos bottles and gin—even a victrola. Its moonlight and we'll have a swim later on."
"Sorry, Ted, but I can't make it this time." I began. "I'm having dinner with Dad and one of his friends," making a grimace.
"Never mind that home-body stuff, ditch 'em, Sallie. You're the life of the party. We couldn't think of leaving you behind." He dragged me by the hand.
I shook my head, remembering Marjorie's dare.
"Aw, come on Sallie. I'll call up your date and fix it with Paul. You aren't going to break up a party, are you? Be a good sport, Sallie," he urged. "You always are."
Ped was on the right track now. I adored being called a good sport. Why not go? I argued. Dad would probably get on business or politics and then I wouldn't have a chance to see Mr. Wright alone. I could hear the rest of the crowd laughing and calling me to come on down.
I made up my mind.
Running back into the dining room I exclaimed. "I hate to be rude, but they've come for me to go to the Beach and I'll have to leave."
"But Sallie, what about the dance?" asked Father, pushing back his chair. Mr. Davis and I are closely associated in business and he will certainly expect you to be there."
"There's no use talking like that, Father, and what do I care, if the Davises do get mad. Thej dances always are sticky affairs and no one goes if there's anything else on." "Sallie, I hate to oppose you, but this time I must insist that you do not offend the Davises." "Oh, very well then, Father, let's not have a scene," I concluded and flounced out of the room—if one could flounce in a slim beaded robe. "I'll have to stay, I suppose and go on over to Alma's with Paul." I told Ted who was still standing by the door in the hall. "Shucks, I know you'll all have a much jazzier time." They began toooting the horn vigorously out in the car. "If I don't hurry there'll be two of us out of luck"—announced Ted, "Well, so long, Sallie, better luck next time."
I returned to the dining room.
I was glad dinner was almost over.
There was a foolish lump in my throat: Everything had turned out so differently from the way I had planned.
As we were going into the living room the 'phone rang. I hurried to answer it.
Paul's voice, apologetic from the start, came over the line: 'I am terribly sorry, Sallie, but it will be impossible for me to take you to the dance. Dad has just wired for me to come up and help him take testimony in the Wells case and I'm leaving on the 9:45 for New York.
"Oh, that's perfectly all right Paul, I didn't want to go anyway." I replied:
I was overjoyed. Now I might have a chance at Curtis Wright. I would have to work fast though, because it was plain that I had not made the slightest impression on him so far.
"I was just going to say, Sallie," continued Paul, "I can get one of the other boys to stop by for you. There are droves of them who would be indebted to me for life, if I'd ask them.
"Save that choice line for the girls at the Winter Garden. Paul." I interrupted. "As a matter of fact I
Frank Manning was one of the "boys with no chance." He was born a hunchback in a poor section of Charlestown, Mass. His father, was a freight handler, on the docks; his mother took in washing. He was the ninth child. Slow to develop and weak of physique, his only schooling was three terms in a public school. When he was thirteen he was earning $1.00 a day as a dishwasher in an ankle wagon in Boston. He walked to work—a distance of over four miles—daily. In the summer of 1901, when he was 17 years old, he conceived the idea of offering tempting and wholesome lunches to Harvard students in Cambridge. The students were "specials" attending the summer

balance amounted to $16,500. During the four years student friends who patronized his place took enough interest in him to tutor him and at the end of the four years his education was equivalent to that of a high school graduate. Incidentally he learned shorthand and became a law reporter. He sold out, moved to Chicago and opened a large law reporting office where he made a small fortune. Selling this business he moved to Southern Italy, where he and his wife now live in comfort

could kiss you for getting me out of it."
"Fine, I'll be right over," Paul responded, with his usual pep.
"Oh, go along with you Paul, have a good time and I hope you get a kick out of your trip. Goodbye." I ended the conversation. My spirits soured.
Father and Mr. Wright were seated on the side porch. I went over and stretched out on the long low swing with its mylar cushions, "squashy" and soft.
"Why so quiet, Lamby?" Father finally asked.
"Nothing except I've missed out all around. That was Paul at the phone, saying he couldn't take me to the dance and the other crowd's gone. You see Father, if you hadn't interfered," I added in an injured tone.
The end of the porch was bathed in dancing moonbeams that played hide-and-seek through the swaying vines. The fragrance of star-jasmine was intoxicating. I turned my head and looked up at the sky.
"Did you ever see such a love of a moon?" and I put as much pathos in my voice as I could command.
Then I glanced in the direction of Mr. Wright. I caught him looking at me. I believed in mental telepathy and I used some high-powered concentration on Dad.
He tumbled. "That's too bad, kiddie, that I spoiled all your fun. Tell you what, Wright. I've had a busy day of it, suppose you and I discuss those matters to-morrow and you and Sallie go on to the dance."
"But Father," I broke in, "maybe Mr. Wright has some other plans."
"On the contrary," he was quick to answer, "I shall be delighted to be made use of, and since I have just accepted your father's very kind invitation to be his guest while in town, this is an ideal opportunity for me to make the acquaintance of my charming hostess."

ETIQUETTE
by FLO.
Dear Miss Flo:
When giving a private dance, should programs be furnished? (2) At the end of a meal, where should the knife and fork be placed? Thank you.
Dance programs are seldom used now except at large college dances or Army and Navy dances. However, if it is a special occasion, and the hostess wishes, she may furnish them. They also serve as appropriate mements of the occasion. (2) The knife and fork should be placed near the center of the plate—side by side
with the handles placed a little toward the right side of the plate.
Dear Miss Flo: Upon being presented to a lady, should a gentleman extend his hand or wait for the lady to do so? (2) If not, should she accept his hand if he offers it. K. A.
The lady is given the privilege of offering her hand first in acknowledgement an introduction. However, to disregard anybody's outstretched hand is very bad taste.
Dear Miss Flo: When arranging a dinner table, on what side of the plate should the napkin be placed? (2) Is it good form to place the napkin on the plate? M. S. The napkin should be placed to the left of the plate. (2) In some cases it is placed on the plate, but it is considered better form to place it to the left of the plate.

The joy of renderin' service to our patient feller men has met with God's approval sence—it ain't no tellin' when! So, I greet the August mornin' with rejuvenated pluck, an' devote my artist-energy to raisin' garden truck.
I reckon there is millions in the hole that reaches Oil—but, a feller sleeps lots sunder as a tiller of the soil—there's too blame my debts to a "pool" hadn't been struck—I'd rather handle credits as I hoe my garden truck.
With everything around me fairly leapin' to my taste, and with appetite so capable that nothin' goes to waste—if that ain't life's completeness, then I reckon I am stuck—but, I can't take time to argy, when I'm raisin' garden truck! If we foller out our ruthers—then our life is like a song—the cabbage plant and onion set don't treat a feller wrong—then the crispy, crinkly lettuce—an the sweet corn in the shuck—we can't ignore the dividends from raisin' garden truck!

A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden.
Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel with the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get medicine of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be forced to be operated on. I did so, and twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.
I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity.
I am. J. A. PAGE.
4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va.
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 in 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. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully,

hundred years ago started in the race for the Presidency of the United
States, a fight which ended in four of the five going to the people with
the result that the election was thrown into the House of Representa-
tives, the result many persons fear will ensue from the coming voting
in November.
Tt is a significant fact that the century has rounded out only to put
the country face to face with a political situation analogous in many
ways with that of 1824—just one hundred years ago. The only
fundamental difference is that one hundred years ago all the candidates
pretended at least to be of one political faith. The great battle was
for the vote of the State of New York, then as now, and the territory
about which nervousness was felt was that of the Middle West. Also
one of the candidates was from New England. €
' Each of the candidates had a re-
markable record of public service,
the life af each being filled with
achievement which made the contest
‘one of dramatic interest—perhaps the
bitterest fight in the history of the
nation.
Crawford a Great Man
‘The man whose name is least
‘known today entered the list with
the advantage over all the others—
‘William H, Crawford, Maligned and
brought down to the present genera-
tion as a political trickster, Craw-
ford stood in Ilfe as a man of great
integrity and of more than usual
ability. Crucified on the cross of
unscrupulous politics, the victim of
outrageous slanders at the hands of
Adams, Crawford is seen today in a
light so false that it will take gen-
erations to place him where he pro-
perly belongs.
He was one of the foremost con-
structive thinkers when he served in
the United States Senate. He made
a profound impression on the think-
ing interests of the country as Sec-
retary of the Treasury in the Cabinet
of Monroe. As a diplomat in France
he displayed unusual acumen and
tact. Indeed, he was so beloved in
the country in 1816 that he could
have been elected over Monroe had
he cared to express even the thought
of such a thing. Devoid of political
intrigue, however, he set the sug-
gestian firmly aside only to be black-
ened in character by his political en-
emies ‘ :

ARREST CAPTAIN OF ‘SEVERN!
‘Tales of rioting aboard the steamer
Severn last Sunday night, brought to
Richmond by Captain R. W. Gate-
wood, will be aired in Police Court
this morning (Thursday) when the
captain must appear to answer to the
charge of selling whisky aboard the
vessel, Captain Gatewood was _ar-
‘rested yesterday by Detective Ser-
geants Smith and Gentry and Officer
Crouch.
‘The arrest was made on the com-
plaint of Leon Booker, member of a
committee appointed to get at the
bottom of the affair. Statements of
Captain Gatewood were denied last
night by the committee. The captain
had returned to Richmond and told
how the Negroes threatened to cut
his head off and send it back to
Richmond unless he fulfilled what
they said was part of their contract
for the excursion.
EXCURSIONISTS GIVE VERSION.
Since the return of the vessel to
Richmond the affair has been dis-
eussed by the Negroes and captain,
with both giving their version of the
Fiver trip, The Negroes maintain
that Captain Gatewood was wrong in
his statement of what happened
aboard his boat, and issued the fol
Towing statement:
“SBaitor The Times-Dispatch:

Cabinet with Adams and Crawford
he had proved himself a statesman

No Election
Such was the calibre of those who
entered the race. They were without
party. Polities was reduced to per-
sonality, In the House, if Adams
fought for an appropriation for the
State Department, Crawford and
Calhoun would lead their followers
against the proposition. If Calhoun
asked for an appropriation, Adams
and Crawford would “strangle it.
When Crawford wanted to put hig
hand in the till, Calhoun and Adams
were pitted against him to thé death.

A PROTEST MUST BE ENTERED.
(The News-Leader, August 18.)
If it be true, as reported, that the
Hopewell shopkeeper cannot identity
any of the twenty Negroes who
rushed his store yesterday and stoie
his stock, where was the sense in
arresting 248 and in bailing them to
appear for trial at Hopewell? There
are only two answers: Either some-
body lost his head, or else the move
is designed to break up Negro ex-
cursions to Hopewell. If the latter
be the object, anything that Hope-
well can do within the law to pre
vent objectionable excursions most
surely will have the backing of Rich-
mondets, But it is not just.to send
248 Negroes to the station house,
when only twenty of them were in-
volved, to require all there Negroes
to pay $1 bail-fee and to put on them
the expense of a trip to Hopewell
for a hearing that can only result
in acquittal? It was fine for the
magistrates who collected the fees,
but it was not fair to the Negroes,
‘And the best evidence it was not fair
js the fact that it never would have
‘been attempted if the people on the
returning boat had been white. ~

| WHEN MIGHT MAKES RIGHT,
Cri ee Dispel 19.)
wither a woeful lack of judgment
o1 an utter disregard for the rights
of persons helpless to protect them-
selves, was responsible for the arrest
in Richmond Sunday night of the
248 Negro excursionists returning
from Hopewell, It was an inexcus-
able action, viewed from any angle.
It reflects credit upon nobody, but
serves only to promote sneering al-
Jusions from those friends of ours
in the North who are all too happy in
the possession of facts which tend
to prove injustice to the Negro on
the part of the South.
It is said that something like
twenty of the 248 Negroes arrested
participated in the rush on a Hope-
well store, Yet the innocent and
guilty alike were herded into patrol
wagons and hustled off’to the station
house, where they were detained on
a serious charge. Doubtless, among
them may be found the most high-
minded Negroes of the community,
who would no more think of looting
a store than they would of cutting
their own throats. Yet they are sub-
jected to the humiliation of being
locked up and to the inconvenience
of going to Hopewell to clear them-
selves of the logal suspicion attached
to them.
‘There seems to be no good reason
why the man whose store was looted
should not have been brought to
Richmond to identify the guilty par-
ties as they left.the boat. If he
could not have identified them Sun-
day night, he eannot identify them
in, the Hopewell Police Court. Bxon-
eration before arrest certainly would
have been the just and the fair way.
‘That would have been the course
pursued if the suspected persons had
been whites instead ot Negroes, Such
discrimination -1s not fain Tt will
not do the State of Virginia, or the
south, any good.
GOODWIIA, FROM RIGHTED
- WRONGS.
(The News-Leader, August 20.)
Richmond Negroes must be grati-
fied at the manner in which the
whole city showed disapproval of the
arrest of 248 excurstonists returning
from Hopewell Sunday night. Even
those who were résponsible for or-
dering the arrests seemed to realize
very quickly the unfairness of haul-
ing all the men in the party to the
police station The outcome proba-
ly ‘will be an increase of good feel-
ing between the races, rather than
a growth of radial animosity, For
there is nothing that so reassures
the Negro as the foeting that he will
get justice at law, The next best
thing is the knowledge that if injus-
tice is done him by police or by the
courts, it will be corrected,
On blunders amended, on righted
wrongs and on rough-edged exper
fence’ good will between Taces some-
times has to be built. Men have
not yet learned a better way.
