This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. AY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR Virginia State Library. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH. --- GARVEY FACES U. S. COURT. Appellate Court Rules Against Him--Must Win or be Sent to Federal Prison. He Will be Finally Sent to British Possessions. MAY 17, 1923 Virginia State Library. VOLUME XLII, NO. 13 LINCO GARV FACE S. C Appellate C Against H Win or b Federal He Will be F British Po (Richmond Times Dispatch) NEW YORK, FEB. 2. —The conviction of Marcus Garvey, self styled professional president of the African republic, for use of the mails to defraud, was affirmed today by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Garvey was convicted in June, 1923 in connection with the sale of stock of the Black Star Line, Inc. He was sentenced to five years in Atlanta Penitentiary and was fined $1,000. The Black Star Line was organized by Garvey to acquire vessels to trans port Negroes to Africa, where a great nation was to be established for the race. The high court's opinion summarized the indictment as declaring that the entire scheme was to persuade Negroes to buy stock in the Black Star Line at $5 per share when the defendant knew that notwithstanding frond representations, the shares were not and in all probability never could be worth $5 or any other sum. The persons indicted with Garvey were acquitted and Garvey himself was convicted on only one count. GARVEY WILL APPEAL TO THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. (New York Negro World) At the last minute as we were about to go to press the news was received that the New York Circuit Court of Appeals had handed down a decision confirming the conviction of the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the case of the alleged using of the U. S. mail to defraud. An appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, and all friends of Mr. Garvey are requested to do their bit in rallying to the Appeal and Defense fund to be raised to fight the case for justice. Mr. Garvey feels that the Negro race will not lose the opportunity of fighting against prejudice and injustice to the end and to make a record for future generations of the race, demonstrating the tremendous opposition encountered in the fight for the true emancipation of the race. CHURCH MAKES GOOD REPORT IN QUARTERLY MEETING. SOUTH BOSTON, VA.—The fourth quarterly conference convened at St. Mitchell A. M. E. Church, Jan. 17, Rev. T. W. Cotton, presiding; Rev J. E. Harris, pastor is now serving his third year with credit. No department of the church falls under his leadership. We are proud of him as a pastor, a builder, and a Christian gentleman. The Presiding Elder spoke very encouragingly of the work so far accumplished on the building of our new church edifice. The reports from the different departments of the church were all good. Special mention was made concerning Mts. S. E. Harris, the pastor's wife. She has been successful in her effort to raise the amount of money for wiring the church for electric lights. She has played a wonderful part in helping to raise money for this work. The roll was called and several paid dollar money. Total amount raised this quarter. $453.38. S. A.

Immortal Abe F resting place is altogether But, in a cannot hallo The brave far above our long remember It is for us which they w It is rather us—that from for which the resolve that God, shall h able, by the p Newember resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from those honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth. Personals and Briefs —Mrs. Adelaide G. Thompson, who has been ill with the gripe, is much improved. —Mrs. Lucy E. C.

Brown, the pastor, spends practically all of his time there over-seeing the work. No information has been received as yet from Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton, as to whether or not he will accept the pastorate of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Mr. A. D. Price is giving satisfaction in the funeral and livery business. He has been able to meet all demands and to please his large number of customers. The doors of his establishment are never closed and service may be obtained at any time, day or night. Dr. L. J. Hayden is looking after live people. No matter what your aliment may be, he has remedies to relieve you. Call and see him or write him concerning your troubles. Dr. Thomas T.

Information reaching here is that Mr. McCrea, the husband of Mrs. Mabel Holmes McCrea, of Harrisburg OURSCORE and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all man are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final O has been stricken with paralysis. He is improving. —Mr. Tom Minor has been stricken with paralysis. —Read The Planet and pay for it.

JUDGE WELLS HEARS ARGUMENT ON THE BROOKS-CROSBY CASE MEN CHARGED WITH KILLING CONDUCTOR PURLESTON ASK FOR VERDICT'S REMOVAL. Robert Crosby and Henry Brooks have been confined in the City Jail since 1922, after having been convicted of stabbing to death L. H. Burleston, a street car conductor. The people hereabouts believe them to be innocent. Argument to set aside the verdicts were heard in the Hustings Court, Part II, in South Richmond last Wednesday before Judge Ernest Wells. Attorney Harry M. Smith, Jr. and Attorney J. M. Turner represented the accused men. Attorney W. C. Pulliam and Attorney Ashton Dovell, of Williamsburg, represented the Commonwealth. LEADER JOSEPH MATTHEWS PLEASES THEM. The Sabbath Glee Club scored heavily last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Bifou Theatre, when the Sabbath Glee Club and the Alpha Female Glee Club, under the leadership of Leader Joseph Matthews gave a rendition by a 106 voice mixed chorus. It was called a Folk Song Recital and the crowd was so immense that two recitals had to be given to the delighted public. SURPRISED THE BURGLAR We were passing Third and Clay streets Monday morning, January 26 a few minutes before 6 o'clock on the way to the Planet Office, when we heard a cry, "Get him! Get him!" On looking across the street in front of Dr. A. M. Bowles' Pharmacy, we saw a colored man, wearing an overcoat, running. He turned the corner running diagonally across Third street to the alley in the rear of the J. W. Bliley undertaking establishment. He had reached the middle of the street when another man followed. He stopped and levaled a revolver at the fleeing man. HEARD FOOTSTEP He was approached by another man wearing a cap, who proved to be Private Detective Jones. It was then that we recognized Dr. George W. White. Explanations were in order. Dr. White's Bulk car was at the door. He explained that he had entered his office, which is located over Dr. Bowles' Pharmacy at that unusual hour and when he looked at his small safe, he saw that it had been toppled over and the outside door was open, while some one had been endeavoring to prize open the inner door. In the meantime he heard footsteps on the stairway by which he had just entered FELL AT THE BOTTOM He saw a man making about two bounds on that long flight of stairs. The man fell at the bottom, but quickly got up, leaving his hat. It was then that Dr. White had run out and fired twice at the burglar. Dr. White said that he had forgotten he had a revolver until he reached the street. The burglar did not secure any money. He left a crow-bar and a screw driver. No arrests have been made, although good finger prints were secured and the police are on a lookout for the intruder. --- Funeral Director Robert C. Scott is doing a good business and is giving absolute satisfaction to both the living and the dead. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

BLANK-4 If you are thinking of buying an airplane as a part of your rain-making machinery, desist. This from W J Humphreys, Washington, physicist in the bureau of meteorology. Humphreys does not believe for a minute that any great number of farmers plan to invest their money in rainmaking airplanes. But experiments in rain making are continually being made and there are those—and some of them are of good authority—who say that weather can be delivered C. O. D. on the airplane. One of these is Dr. E. Francis Warren of Harvard University. EXPERIMENTS Rain or shine, as you like it." is Warren's statement. Warren is staging a series of experiments at Bolling Flying Field, Texas, to prove that it can be done. Army aviators are helping him. They fly up with loads of electrical sand and squirt it down through vuzzles. So far they have been unable to bring forth any rain, but they have dispelled tog clouds. Here's Warren's explanation: "If a cloud contains a positive electric charge we spray it with negatively charged particles of sand, and vice versa. This causes it to disintegrate and disappear." "If a cloud contains no charge at TGBEY AND TYKE BLANKETY!! THIS DURN RAZOR IS PULLING THE FACE OFF OF ME!!! IT'S SO DULL IT WON'T EVEN CUT THE SHAVING LATHER!! WASSA MATTER POP? 44 CAPTAIN A. I.

OSSIBLE BUT HERMAN we charge it any way we like and then destroy it by scattering opp- ositely charged sand. Train can also be made to fail by charging it rain clouds." "Theoretically correct," answers Humphreys. "Very simple, but very improbable of success." Then he explained. "I know how to pick up this pencil from my desk." He picked up the pencil. CANT BE WORKED "Well," he added, "I could pick up the Washington monument in just the same way—if I had the strength." "Only I haven't. The principle is sound enough, but it can't be worked on a big scale." "To dispel any great fog or bring down any great amount of rain, you would have to use thousands of planes, and so many tons of sand that it would be ridiculous to attempt it." BOLSHEVIK RAINSTORMS He added that man for countless ages had been trying to control weather conditions. "But he has not changed a thing—and never will." On this Warren disagrees. Some of these days, he says, old timers will be telling of how, when they were kids, they actually witnessed Bolshevik rainstorms that weren't even authorized by Congress. By Stanley At Last!

Tells How to End Night Coughing To quickly stop hacking, irritating coughing at night, a very simple treatment may be had that often enables you to sleep the whole night through undisturbed almost at once. The treatment is based on a remarkable prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take a teaspoonful at night before retiring, and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and relieves irritation and soothes, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the direct result of the coughing. So no matter whether your cough is dry and tight, or loose with much mucus, the coughing soon stops, you can usually sleep your accustomed time without a break, and the whole cough condition goes in a very short time. The prescription contains absolutely no narcotics or other harmful drugs. Instead of it, actually helps the system to throw off the trouble in a perfectly natural way. Furthermore, it is very accommodating the dose before only one teaspoonful. It is highly recommended for coughs, chest colds, tickling, hoarseness and bronchitis. It is also recommended for coughs and spasmodic croup. On sale at all good druggists. Ask for DR.

GOOD PEOPLE outnumber the bad ones despite the fact that sometimes it seems to be all the other way. A REVOLUTIONARY movement demands martyrs and those selected should not shrink from the duty confronting them. SOUTHERN WHITE POLKS or at least some of them abuse the Negroes, but they are not willing to part with them. WHEN WE REALIZE and understand that our destinies are fixed, we will not be disposed to worry over the misfortunes that seem to be our portion. RADIO NOW CARRIES the human voice eleven thousand miles. This emphasizes the fact that many of the seemingly impossible declarations of the Scriptures may yet come to pass. NORTHERN FRIENDS are for the most part commercial in dealing with colored folks; colored ones are for the most part sentimental in dealing with the same class of people. COLORED PEOPLE are handi-capped by more than a century of slavery, which undermined their mental powers and dwarfed their manhood. They should not forget that. THE BEGINNING of Marcus Garvey's downfall came when he lost support of the Liberian Republic, and he failed to find some other African dependency to take its place. He had apparently the whole white world against him and a large proportion of the black world not in his favor. THE ANNOUNCEMENT is made that the Voorhees Industrial Institute at Denmark, S. C., with a plant valued at $200,000 has been added to the educational institutions of the American Church Institute for Negroes. This Protestant Episcopal organization now supervises ten well-equipped industrial and academic school's for colored people in the South, representing an aggregate value of more than $2,000,000 and educational equipment for 4,000 students. St. Paul's School at Lawrenceville, Va. under that able churchman, Rev. James S. Russell is one of these institutions. REV. DR. WALDRON AND DANCING. WE HAVE RECEIVED a communication from that brainy churchman, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D. D., in which he announces his opposition to teaching of dancing in the public schools of Washington. It seems that he has interested the Baptist Ministers' Union and the Evangelical Passors' Alliance in the movement. Certainly both organizations have undertaken a big job and begun a movement against one of the largest "forts of the enemy" in the country. The report prepared by Dr. Waldron as chairman of the Committee on Dancing in the Public Schools of Washington constitutes a ringing indictment of this alleged evil. We have never understood just how these aesthetic instructions could be properly given at the public expense. They should be relegated to private institutions, where competent instructors are already busily engaged in training the young limbs how to dance. The less apparel worn for these performances the better. The reason for his kind of instruction is the insistent demand therefor. The mothers of the children dance and set the example and the children naturally follow in their own or some other child's mother's foot steps. Dr. Waldron says that men ranging in ages from 18 to 60 years dance with these young girls. We would be pleased to receive information as to how he knows. Have some of these brazen young folks been bold enough to invite this able divine to dance with them? But joking aside we are of the opinion that the last days of Pompei are now at hand and that the experiences of Sodom and Gomorrah are again heaving in sight. Certain it is that we are living in an age, where flagrant disregard of all laws, both moral and divine seems to be popular with all classes and true humility and divine worship flouted upon every side. When ministers of the Gospel under the plea of modernism flaunt the divinity of Christ and challenge the fundamental teaching of the Scriptures, naught else is to be expected. Dr. Waldron is right in his contentions, regardless of the protests of these people he is attacking. He should continue to cry aloud and spare not. In the meantime, he will find in the ministerial group, no doubt, men who will march with his "army" and chuckle with satisfaction over every set back he may have in his open warfare upon the evils of today.

HE BELIEVES IN GOD. OUR GUNS STAY DOWN. STABILIZING BANDITRY. Scientists studied the earth's magnetic currents, as affected by the eclipse. Every ship's captain noticed that the eclipse had an effect on the compass. Science does not know why. Possibly some scientist got from this eclipse the most important information of all, which has to do with the amount of radium in the sun. The sun's length of life and the lives of this and other planets depend on the sun's radio-active force. If the sun were merely burning up, as was once supposed, the life of human beings here might be cut down to a few million years, whereas it will probably go on for several hundred million years, aided by radium energy in the sun. Bishop the Right Rev. William Montgomery Brown, of Cleveland, is put out of the church. Accused of being unorthodox, he protested, "I believe in God." But that was not enough, and he is out. Bishop Brown's exact description of God in which he believes would be interesting. One small boy, asked to describe God, replied instantly. He's got a long white board, and high-top boots. That was perfectly respectful. It described the boy's highest ideal. Many human beings imagine a God, somewhat as that little boy imagined him, with a head that might need thick boots to be mended, or.

Our Navy heads might give the country information on a statement recently published by English papers. The British have arranged their ships so that they can take in water ballast on one side or the other, and thus, by making the ship tip over, raise the guns to the desired elevation and increase their range without actually changing the mechanical adjustment of the guns. That seems to be highly ingenuous, but of course, we can do it in this country because probably somebody in Europe would object. A great surety company advertises $100,000 reward for the return of a million dollars' worth of bonds. It says it will pay ten percent of the face value of any bond stolen, whenever it is obliged to make good insurance on such bonds. That's interesting news to bond bandits and holdup men. It stabilizes their industry. It guarantees them $100,000 of good safe cash on a million dollar bond robbery. But what about the laws against compounding felony? It is proposed to create an "airport" for New York by roofing over the yards of Pennsylvania Railroad. Temporary landing and leaving places for fliers might thus be provided in many cities. That ought to be done. Automobile roads, without grade crossings, could also easily be provided, making a roadway above railroad tracks running out through city suburbs. Railroads should be properly compensated, of course. Makeshift airports will soon be outgrown, however. Before you die, in every big city, the week end will see thousands of flying "club cars" each with its load of passengers, flying off to mountains, or asseaside, in summer; to Florida, California, etc., in Winter. The Philadelphia Mint begins coining 5,000,000 half-dollar coins to commemorate the courage of General Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and others, and the curving of the great memorial on Stone Mountain, near Atlanta. These coins are more important than their meaning even more important than their meaning an memorials of courage and artistic enterprise. They establish even more firmly the fact that the Civil War belongs to an age that is past. And they will be prized in the North even more highly than in the South.

At aunch along the way because Charlie Midween, the foreman, wants Sally a cook, the wealthy New York owner of the ranch, was in the car which they helped up, and the Wreck found the wealthy to stay at the courn for several weeks. The Wreck hears Underwood notify Sheriff Benton, the finance, of the robbery, and tells Sally. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Sally's day did not brighten until afternoon, when Charley made a suge he took until late. If Sally and the Wreck wanted to take a couple of horses and look around a bit they could have their pick of what was left in the corral. Charley thought he could find a riding skirt for her; there were always some outfits for possible guests. The Wreck did not enjoy his ride. He never did, although it would have been useless to expect him to admit it. If only he knew where Charley had hidden the front wheel of the fliver he could laugh at every horse in Montana. But just now there was a certain method in his purpose to stay in the sedula things come to the worst, he and his fliver of horses, and with that event as a possibility he was allowed to learn something about his painful and primitive method of travel. Sally had just suggested that they turn back, certain that by the time they reached the house the Wreck would have enough for the day, when they encountered the Woods—father, son, and daughter. It was her first close glimpse of the family, and she studied them with interest, especially Harriet. Charley performed the introduction. The Woods did not pay much more than they did, but they were frankly interested in Sally. Even Jerome Underwood was disposed to be gracious, for he was not mindful of the dishes that came his table. It was his first ex-communication, a cook at the church, and it suited him well that had-fogotten all the admonitions his New York specialist. on the homeward ride Underwood his foreman rode together, talk of the ranch. That left Sally Chester Underwood paired. Chees found himself in a state of agree surprise.

Nor did Chester Underwood bother her. But Henry Williams did; the Wreck knew it. She was on an easy footing of comradeship with the newcomer in five minutes; it was always the same way with ranch hands, or anybody else. But witt. himself he felt that she was constantly under strain even when she tried to be. She never understood him; sometimes she laughed at him; sometimes he was certain that she had a sense of pity for him, a realization that fairly sickened him. What the devil was the matter with him anyhow? And with her? When the ranch house came into sight, some idiot urged his horse to a gallop. The Wreck assumed that it was Chester, but he could not be his way of imitating other horses. Everybody galloped. The Wreck survived the gallop by some astonishing trick of fortune, but he did not survive the sudden stop at the gate of the corral. He went right on for a little distance, reaching the ground on all fours. As he slowly arose he became aware that Chester was grinning down at him. His hands roiled themselves into "LET GO OF ME. I'M ALL RIGHT." fists automatically, and he took a step forward. Then Sally was at his side, gripping him firmly by the arm. "Let go of me," he said savagely. "I'm all right." "Why, of course you are, Henry." And then, in a whisper: "You come with me. You're not going to do any fighting today. I'm ashamed of you. Henry Williams, you're worse than a locked steer. I don't know what I'll do with you." Wales that came from the Under-wood family concerning the short and simple incident of borrowed gasoline. Even Charley McSwen, conceded that the west must be reverting to halcyon times. Jerome Underwood stuck to his four bandits with a tenacity worthy of the best possible imagination. Harriet Underwood, at first disposed to be literal and to report only those things which she saw, remembered that she was clever enough to slip her rings down her neck, where they scratched but were otherwise safe. She had held her ringless fingers out for the inspection of the man with the gun, and he growled at her. Charter confirmed the four bands, because he had wisdom enough to see that his father might appreciate confirmation. There was a note of repressed heroism in Chester.

He told all this to Sally during the ride back to the house, with a gay nonchalance that surprised her. She had an idea that resourceful lying rarely came before middle age, so that she was driven to believe that Chester was either precocious or prematurely advanced in years. Chester was a large, strongly built youth, doubtless capable of bandits as well as football, but, knowing him for a ail, she found herself filled with an ungrateful undercurrent of doubt concerning the precise status of his nerve. The most surprising development involved Timothy, the Underwood chauffeur. Timothy had begun by being literal. He had been heard to say that there was but one bandit, he multiplied by six, perhaps inadvertently, perhaps because he drew inspiration from higher sources. At any rate, he did not spoil ritters; he magnified. Timothy ate his meals in the kitchen. He was a respectful creature, although he came from New York. He always said "sir" and "mo'am". until Sally was in fidgets over his deferential speech. He had a mild glance that followed he however she went, which the Wrote, and of course mistook, and of course formed a dislike for Timothy, who did not exactly cringe under his obvious displeasure, but who met it with a patient submission that was worse than defiance. There was no harm in Timothy; he merely lied through force of higher example. But most annoying of all the people at the ranch, so far as the Wreck was concerned, was Chester Underwood. Chester, having discovered Sally on horseback, was rediscovering her in the kitchen. He kept drifting in and out, on pretests, and sometimes he sat down and watched her as she worked with her sleeves rolled up on brown arms. To Chester the Wreck was merely a person who washed dishes, waited on table, and fell off horses—quite unhappy and not a notice. When all of dishes found himself ground early, without knowing why. The able-holded hire of Jasome Underwood was not worth bothering about, so long as he skirt to his own business and did not annoy the Wreck. He could talk to Sally, if he chose, and if Sally chose to talk to him, which it seemed that she did. Sally was growing restive. The labo of cooking for a large house hold did not dismay her, although it was not exactly recreation. She wanted to be moving again, although the time and the means had not seated themselves. But no more how necessary it might be to in biding, it was also like young, she do not save the patience that comes with years. Anything that broke the routine, however, was welcome, even an invitation from Chester for a ride over the hills. She went, and there were just two in the party. Nobody had invited the Wreck, and as it was not Sally's party, he could not worry expect it. She did not believe that he cared to go, anyhow, for he hated horses. As she and Chester rode off he stood leaning against the frame of the kitchen door flowering at them. It would not have been a good time for anybody to offer him pleasanties. He felt unaccountably lonesome as Sally's horse disappeared over a rise. All the way from Pittsburgh to the Bar M he never suffered from lonesomeness, although there were days when he scarcely exchanged a word with anybody. But now it seemed that the world conspired to isolate him, and he resented the conspiracy. He had an uncomfortable sense of being deserted as she rode away. He went back into the kitchen after a while, where Timothy sat in a corner reading a magazine. There were some dishes that belonged in the pantry, and the Wreck started thither with them. His foot tripped against a chair leg. and two of the dishes slid off the top of the pile and splintered on the floor. The Wreck stood scowling at them until he heard a snicker from the corner. Timothy was grinning with good-natured amusement. One who opposes (rare). Plural of you. He freely admits winning war. 100 per ct. Americanism, so say.

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 without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to fire being operated on. I did so, and in 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.
