THE RICHMOND PLANET Rev. Dr. Hatcher Defies His Critics Reiterates His Position on "A Four Cornered Earth and a Moving Sun." Cites Biblical Declarations and Disagreements of the Astronomers and Scientists---Solomon, the Wisest Man Believed the Sun Moves---A Large Audience at the City Auditorium. VOLUME XLII. NO. 25 Rev. D Def Reiterates Four C Cites Biblical D the Astronom Wisest Man B Audience at th A crowd, exceeding three thousand gathered at the City Auditorium last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock to hear Dr. James S. Hatcher's discourse on the subject, made famous by the late Rev. John Jasper, pastor of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. On the rostrum were many leaders. The singing group from the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church rendered music, while Attorney William F. Denny officiated as master of ceremonies. Rev. James S. Hatcher. D. D., the brilliant pastor of the church had been induced to deliver again the sermon, which when preached in the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church had created such a profound sensation that hundreds were turned away from that racked edifice. INTRODUCED DR. HATCHER. A few white people were in the audience. A heavy downpour of rain shortly after 3 o'clock tended to curtail the attendance although many came in late. Rev. William M. Richardson (white) after a few well chosen remarks, introduced the speaker. Rev. Dr. Hatcher did not fall to pay his respects to Prof. Gordon B. Hancock, a member of the faculty of the Virginia Union University, who had so unmercifully sailed him in The Planet of the 25th wit. Dr. Hatcher had as his subject: "The Sun Moves and the Earth Has Corners". He said. "The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet."—Omnipotence. Psalms 139.7. "Whither shall I go from Thy spirit or whither shall I flee from Thy presence"? BIBLICAL TEXTS. Verse 8: "If I ascend up into Heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. (Verse 9) If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea. (10) Even there shall thy hand lead me and thy right hand shall hold me. (11) If I say surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be "light about me"—Omniscience and omnipresence. GOD'S POWER. Christian friends. I have read these texts because they with a multitude of others affirm the omni—all power; omnipresence—everywhere and omniscience—all wisdom of God. And why mention these attributes of God,—because I am to speak on the subject. If God is omnipresent, all wise omnipotent, then He ought to know what He made. I want to speak to you of the fact that the earth has corners and the sun does move. A TRIBUTE TO JOHN JASPER. More than fifty years ago, there lived here in Richmond a tail, well developed, erect Negro preacher, won derfully gifted, uniquely original—John Jasper. He was the founder and organizer of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. A great church. It has the homing instinct and religious taste. It is the only old line church which maintains a night congregation. John Jasper conjured three generations. The pop ularity and enthusiasm of many churches are coequal and co extensive with the popularity of the pastor. When he leaves and dies, the church wanes in influence and power. Not so with the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. This church has a river life, while other churches have a pump life. You must use the handle to keep it going. MORE THAN AN ORGANIZATION This church is more than an organization. This homing instinct, why his self feeding power? Because the founder and organizer was a man who believed in God. Like Abraham. God honored him, multiplied his seed. John Jasper is famous the world over. He was no fool, unschooled. not unlearned. Abraham Lincoln was not a degree man. In judging a man, you must distinguish between education and intelligence. You can educate an ass, never make him intelligent. Jasper was intelligent. Mrs. Josephine Turpin Washington says of his English, "No ponderous words. Latin derivatives constituted his vocabulary. His words, good old Anglo-Saxon stock, clear, terse, forcible and in the aptitude to combine them so as to make suggestive images, he is surpassed by few". NO IGNORANCE THERE. Mrs. Washington was a Howard graduate. Jasper's contemporaries were payne Price, Lincoln, Lowell, Halie Q. Brown, Douglass, Coppin, Washington. Does ignorance keep such company? He was laughed at, ridiculed, ill published by many of his local contemporaries, dead and forgotten, living hardly known outside of Richmond, while Jasper is read over the English-speaking world. He is the greatest Negro preacher the world has ever produced. A WORD ABOUT THE RABBLE. Some of the brethren said that they were the rabble. The rabble were the people, who heard Jesus. It was the big folks, who killed him. Some churches have pump lives. If you stop pumping, they will go down. Some of my critics say that I have desecrated John Jasper, but I have done more to honor him than any other preacher has done in 21 years. John Jasper never said. "The sun do move and the earth am square." He never used any such language. Some for or five months ago. Mr. Eddie Turner said to me that some young men, who came often to hear me, wanted me to preach on this subject. I hesitated because I had been taught differently. I went down town to a second hand book store and purchased nine dollars worth of books, old astronomies, geologies. Astronomers I. W. Warren published in 1886. George Dunna 1885. Difficulties of the Bible by McArthur. Then I took down my encyclopedia and reviewed the theories of Flamstead, Brahe, Copernicus, Kepler, Halley, Bradley Airy, the three Herschels and the English chemist, Rowbotham, who founded the Zetetic School of Philosophy in 1838. He taught the earth as being a flat disk with the North Pole in the centre. The seas encompass the land, and beyond the seas, impene (Continued on page 4) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 GOLDEN DAYS By A. B. CHAPIN TWO O'CAT— ONE! THREE! FOUR! TWO— TWO!!

WASHINGTON, April 23. — Home brewers and distillers who use their residences to make intoxicating drinks but do not offer such products for sale are safe from search by police and prohibition agents, according to a decision rendered today by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in Criminal Court. The Court granted a motion to push a search warrant, used to raid a home in this city, which was based upon an affidavit that the home contained stills and liquor. The raiders found two ten-gallon stills, 500 gallons of mash and equipment for making liquor, but, because there was no evidence that the defendants made a sale, the Court decided that the warrant was improperly obtained and therefore void. The Court cited several cases wherein other Federal Courts had held such warrants legal, but in these homes had been so converted and altered by liquor-making equipment that the residential character had been changed to that of a piece of business. The Court held that the physical evidence offered did not change the essential character of the premises that were raided in the case ruled on. —Miss Dellah L. Beasley, the ac complished authoress and newspaper writer left this week for Washington. She will not return to Cali- fornia for many months.

Fisher, of Virginia Union University, will preach an interesting sermon on "God's Dynamite". You are invited to be present. TEACHERS PROVED A BLESSING AT UNION BRANCH. CHESTERFIELD CO., VA.—The first of April brought to a close, what might be well termed as one of the most successful year's work in the history of Union Branch Public School of Chessfield County, Va. The teachers in this school for the session just closed were among the very best in our State. They were Miss Riff Campbell of Middlothian, Va.; Miss Annie's Fortune, of Bolling Green, Va. and Miss Isabella Howell, of Richmond, Va. These young ladies were a real blessing to the entire community of Union Branch as well as in the school rooms, for they were active workers in everything that was good and helpful to all. The Union Branch Church, over which the Rev. J. W. Willis is shepherd, was very sorry indeed when the work of these ladies for the year was completed, for they were as active in the church as in the school. The Miss Howell pressed at the organ for all services while the Misses Fortune' and Campbell were leaders in the choir. Therefore in leaving this community they carry with them the very best wishes and prayers of pupils, and patrons of the Sunday School, choir and church. FULTON LODGE OBSERVES ITS ANNIVERSARY AND MEMORIAL Fulton Lodge, No. 42, Knights of Pythias observed its anniversary in a very auspicious manner at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday night. The program, presided over by Chancellor Commander Charles B. Jefferson, featured Rev. C. A. Coles, in a unique message for the occasion. Splendid selections were rendered by the Nightingale Glee and Club and the choir of the church. The history of the lodge was concisely reviewed by Past Chancellor W. E. Brown. Sir C. A. Atkins officiated in the candle service memorializing the dead. Remarks were made by Sir B. R. Jefferson, G. M. of Exchequer; Mrs. Laura Best, of Fulton Court and R. C. Mitchell. A splendid collection was raised by Sir James Cox and F. H. Lightner. —Mr. and Mrs. James Butler gave a beautiful and colorful birthday party for their lovely little daughter, Ruth.

C., April 25—A. and T. now bask in the history of forensic glory, for she is the champion of wit and reason. Rich Square Institute, Berry O'Kelly and Elizabeth City survived the preliminaries of March 27, only to perish in the later contest of April 18, at the hands of the merciless crushers of the High School Department of Shaw University. It was but natural that the team which defeated Shaw so decisively that her own student body joined in the applause of a unanimous decision against her, should refuse to be checked. Because of this victory against Shaw, both at Shaw and at A. and T. U. was predicted that A. and T. would win the debating championship when the subject, "Resolved that the U. should join the World Court" would again be debated by the 'runners-up'. This prediction came true when the Berry O'Kelly team and then the Elizabeth City team, both of which were good teams, fell in defeat before A. and T. at Greensboro, on April 18. By this last victory, A. and T. has won the unique distinction and honor of being at the head of the list of the winners of the One Hundred Dollar Silver Loving Cup, known as the Dudley Cup, which was offered by the late President Dudley to the winners of the North Carolina championship. To be champion of the twenty-four high schools which participated in the debate makes it a most significant victory. The A. and T. affirmative team were Messrs. N. B. Galloway and S. B. Fitts, with Mr. K. J. Baker as alternate, The negative team were Messrs. B. W. Holloman and M. E. Patterson with Mr. J. M. Jenkins as alternate. SAW COLORED MAN PUNISHER BY PROVOST GUARD AFTER THE FALL OF RICHMOND. (Richmond News-Leader April 11.) An instance of most unusual and human punishment inflicted on a Negro who was arrested by the provost guard in Richmond, shortly after the evacuation in 1865, and while the city was under Federal control is related by William C. Camp vice-president of the American National Bank and American Trust Company. Mr. Camp witnessed the incident and is wondering whether anyone now living in this city can recall it. "About the 15th of April a Negro man, very black, was arrested on Twenvithfifth street. between Main and Franklin, in front of Ross' tobacco factory," he said today. "He was arrested by two officers of the provost guard for being very drunk and disorderly. In the struggle to carry him to the provost marshal's office at Twentyfifth and Main Sts. he stabbed the two men with a knife. They finally got him there, and after trial the provost marshal sentenced him to be hurled alive. "For a week or ten days they took him out every day for display, serving a very poor lean and lank horse, on which he was mounted with his back to the horse's head, and they led him around the streets accompanied by a drum and fife corps, following in his rear. On his back was a placard with this inscription: "I stabbed two of the provost guard," in large black letters. "After about three hours of this punishment he was returned to the office and put in a flat top pine coffin and the top was screwed down. Just enough of the top was sawed off to allow his face to be seen. He was then brought out to the front and the coffin set on end up against the wall where the sun could shine on his face. They smeared molasses on his face to draw the flies. This punishment was kept up for a week or ten days. "When they told him he would be buried alive they screwed the pine top that had been cut off back, put him in a wagon and with the drum corps following, marched up Main street out to Camp Lea (now Monroe park). "When he was taken out of the coffin he was told to leave these parts and never return. "He did return, however; after two or three years he came back." —We have received an anonymous communication.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS PRESIDENTS OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE (President News Service) GREENBORO, N. C., April 30.—The Fifth Conference of Land Grant Colleges opened its sessions Thursday morning, April 16, at 10 o'clock in the Chapel of A. and T. College. Welcome address in behalf of the State of North Carolina was made by A. T. Allen, Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State, who reviewed the progress of Negro Education in North Carolina, both agricul urally and technically. Prof. F. D. Bluford, Acting President of A. and T. College, welcomed the Conference in behalf of the College. He spoke of the work of the late President James B. Dudley, of the fine relations between the white and Negro races in this State. Other interesting and profitable addresses were made by Dr. J. M. Gandy, President of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Petersburg, va.: Dr. George F. Zook Chief of the Division of Higher Education of the U. S. Bureau of Education; Dr. Walton C. John, Assistant Specialist in Higher Education of the U. S. Bureau of Education; Dr. A. C. True, of the Department of Agriculture, Washington; and Renick W. Dunlap, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Washington. All of these gentlemen paid high and glowing tributes to the late President Dudey, of the A. and T. College. The Conference was characterized by many worthwhile discussions of subjects that were of vital interest to all land grant colleges. Among the interesting facts brought out in the Conference was the fact that A. and T. College received the highest appropriation of any land grant college except the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, over which President John W. Davis has the honor to preside. The Conference will convene at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute next year. --- FOWLKES—In sweet remembrance of our mother, Mrs. Anna Fowlkes, who left us one year ago today, April 28th, 1924: Oh how we have missed you, dear Mother, and how dark and cheerless earth has been since you have left us; but heaven is brighter, nearer and dearer, now that you are there.

SATURDAY.....MAY 2, 1925 THERE IS ONE thing about Heaven; no one will be required to leave after he gets there. SOME WOMEN want all the rights of men, but do not want all of the responsibilities. MANY MEN deceive many women into marrying them and are in turn deceived by the women, whom they think they have deceived. "JORDAN IS A hard road to travel", but it is no harder than some of these roads in Virginia that we have to travel. THE RESIGNATION of President F. A. McKenzie as President of Fisk University is a happy solution of a very embarrassing situation. His duties terminate at the end of this scholastic term and he has been voted a vacation with one year's pay after that time. The selection of a successor will be a most delicate task in view of the causes, which have brought about this state of affairs. President McKenzie has done a great work at Nashville and deserves much credit for what he has accomplished for the institution. In the exercise of zeal in one direction, he leaned too far backward in another and as a result his days of usefulness to this great educational centre were at an end. We hope that all parties to the controversy will now unite in a common effort to restore the school to its former plane of educational pristine splendor and unite in singing the advice given by General U. S. Grant at the close of the Civil War, "Let us have peace". N THE ELECTION of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg last Sunday to the Presidency of the German Republic, brings the Allies in general and France in particular, face to face with the same monarchical forces that they confronted at the last battle of the World War. This distin- guished soldier signed the armistice and he has before him the task of carrying out the provisions of the Versailles Treaty, many of which he has more than once declared to be impossible of fulfillment. He can be relied upon to do all that he says he will, but beyond that "deponen sayeth not". He will have behind him the practically solid backing of the German people with the exception of the Communists, who do not believe in any Government. It is a foregone conclusion that the Allies not only respect him, but that they fear him and that many demands and propositions that have been and would be repeated to those who preceded him, will not even be mentioned in the consultations that are to follow. It is better so. We believe that this great German soldier will counsel peace, both at home and abroad, and that he will in good faith point out the best way to secure it. The day of the parading of "little men with little minds" seems to have passed in the new Germany, which is now appearing upon the field of peaceful action. CHICAGO NEWS. CHICAGO, IL., May 1—Mesdames Lou Ela Young, D. G. M. N. G. and Ela G. Berry, D. G. W. R. have returned from Rockford, IL., where they spent Friday and Saturday of the past week in the dedicating of a Household. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gordon, formerly of 50 W. 95th Street, have erected a beautiful store and a five room co-age on the rear lot at 95th Street near State Street where they will do business and reside. Mr. Gordon is a director of The Pyramid Building and Loan Association and active in the welfare of Lilydale. Mrs. Cora B. Giddens, who underwent a serious operation several weeks ago at Post Graduate Hospital has been removed to her home, 3614 Calume: Avenue, where she is convulsing. The Joint Building Association, of U. B. F. and S. M. T. of which J. B. Street is president, is pushing every effort and energy to have head quarters at the time of the coming of the State Grand Lodge to be held in Chicago next August. M. T. Bailey, of The Bailey Realty Company, 3638 S. State Street, with the assistance of several business men, is busily engaged in the opening up of a new subdivision where enough space will be taken over to accommodate hundreds of families, thus relieving the congestion in the city and help to reduce the high costs. The big anniversary exercises given under the auspices of the 1925 Marching Club of Ft. Dearborn Lodge, No. 44 and the Ft. Dearborn Lodge Band at the beautiful Westside auditorium on April 13th, was a huge success and the exalted ruler, James C. Martin; president of the marching c'ub. James M.

RELIES UPON THE BIBLE. I said this agrees more nearly with the Book than any, but this is not popular and they will laugh at me. I then began in earnest with the Book, I should have begun there first. I found on page after page, motion ascribed to the sun. Moses says in the first five books that the sun moves—seven times. Then the Book says twice that the earth has four corners. I said well, the Bible does say the sun moves and the earth has corners, but for me to subscript thereto would subject me to cordule. Then I saw Jesus, the man with the thorn-scarred brow, wounded hands sorrowing face, saying to me as He said to Peter, "Will you also go away?" Will you choose to be with so called science rather than with Revelation? But I argued, the Bible is not a book of science; then the Spirit whispered. No, it is not unscientific, and I was converted from what I learned in Murray and Piyor's geographies to what God said. so I went in my pulpit and preached my convictions backed up by the Word. GOT HIM IN TROUBLE. I said. Turner, you've gotten me in trouble. Some of these colleges and universities will say anything if it is their way. I've been preaching in my church. I came here twelve months ago. I told them that folks ought to be saved, that they ought to be sanctified. I have been ridiculed, accused by a professor with seeking popularity, trying to play to the galleries. Now let me rehearse my position in the presence of the people to whom I have preached for twelve months. If I lie, let them silence me. I came to this city twelve months ago, finding a membership of 300. I began a perennial revival. In those twelve months we had have 125 conversions, more than 200 accessions. We have the largest Bible class, and week-end Bible class proportionately among Negroes in the world. We have from 50 to 120 persons studying the Bible each Friday night for from one to two hours. All denominations and both races attend. A STORY OF PROGRESS. We have raised, with less than 300 contributing communicants more than $8,000, have not sold one oyster or charged a penny at the doors since I have been in the ministry. I have been so poor that I could not go 200 miles to see my sick wife. Yet I have never married an unbeliever to a believer. I preach that Christians should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers in secret orders. Masons, Old Fellows, Pythians or what-not; and as much as I honor and respect the achievements of you, Mrs. Walker. I maintain that it is unscriptural for Christian people to take oath of fellowship in a common yoke with unbelievers. Is that seeking popularity? I preached that it is just as sinful for a Christian to smoke as it is for an unbeliever to drink. Is that seeking popularity? I advise against Christians going in business with an unbeliever. I have done this for seven years. Is this the road to popularity? I will not marry a divorced person to another, no matter what is the cause for the divorce. I have refused to join a man and a woman together in wedlock when there is a difference of from 40 to 50 years in their ages. The Bible speaks against it. Does that show that I am seeking popularity? Yes. I am accused by a so-called minister of the gospel of being an initiator of putting Richmond to shame. I have prayed for and co-(Continued on page 5) COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" 1—"MOTION OVERRULED". 3—DEAN MILLER AND HIS CRITIC. Some absorbing events are taking place in the Courts. In Ohio, the Supreme Court has just overruled a writ of certiorari involving the Woodlawn rural school case regarding the segregation of Negro pupils in the lower grades. It is stated in the record that the writ was sought upon the ground of general public interest",—a ground which it is said the Court refused to recognize. In the United States Supreme Court, the so-called Curtis case, involving a contract estopping colored people from purchasing certain restricted property, is pending for argument, upon appeal. In New York, several cases are pending involving the hard-headed retusal of two or three ignorant whites who persist in ignoring the Levy Bill, which provides penalties for discrimination against colored people in public places. Appeals, that is to say, appeals from court to court, have done more to procure civil rights for colored people than any other step. In all the celebrated cases involving Negroes, the all-important question has been to make the appeal upon the right grounds; for a court of record cannot consider matter de hors (outside) of the record; and a motion based upon untenable grounds is usually overruled. Contractual, constitutional, and other questions of public interest are often appealable upon the same grounds; then, again, he who appeals from different elements of different phases of law growing out of the same base. One of the first cases ever placed upon the docker of the Interstate Commerce Commission, regarding Jim Crow cars, never came to trial upon merits, because of errors of form and procedure which estopped the further consideration of the case. In other courts friendly judges have wept inwardly because some Negro litigant who had a good case came up on appeal in erroneous substance form, or grounds. The question of segregated schools in the State of Ohio which has a civil rights law, is an all-important one. Its principles date back to the Berea College (Kentucky) case, long since passed upon by the U. S. Supreme Court; but upon entirely different grounds than those existing in Ohio. I is to be hoped that appeal will be taken and the question of segregation in Ohio's school system wiped out forever. Likewise, the Curtis case in Washington, involving restricting covenants against Negroes, touches upon certain civil rights which are openly given to all American citizens, save the black man. I is then the ardent duty and pleasure of counsel to go the limit of the law, both past and present, in presenting these cases to the country's highest tribunals. That they will do so faithfully and with a deep sense of pride, upon the proper grounds, eliminating from possible advent the decision "Motion Overruled" is not only our hope but our sincere belief. Prof. E. L. Kirkpatrick (white) expert agricultural economist, has made his official report upon the living costs of families of selected localities of Kentucky, Tennessee "MOTION OVERRULED" Some absorbing events are taken in the Courts.

Our grief was turned to joy, however, when we found out that of the $611.10 expended yearly per family, 53.5 per cent went for bread and meat, etc., as against only 44.0 per cent which the whites expended for food. In clothing costs the colored families ran neck and neck with the whites, the respective percentages being 17.5 and 17.7, illustrating the advantage of being able, in some instances to spend your money where you will. In rents, the whites were proportionately in the lead, with 9.7 per cent as against 6.7 for our group.

In the maintenance of health expenses paid to physicians and nurses, our kinsmen were 4 per cent flat with the whites, according to Prot. Kirkpatrick, who thus exploded the allegation that colored people have careless health habits. Last, but not least, Prof. Kirkpatrick discovered that colored families, who were steadily allotting 2.3 per cent of their budget for insurance of life and limb, compared with 2.6 for the whites, are virtually on a parity with the latter group, bespeaking conservative pride and marked evasion of the potters' field. And we venture to say, in closing, that if Prof. Kirkpatrick had taken the time to measure the space occupied by the respective families, which is probably about one half for our group of what it is for the white group, he would have discovered, we are sure, that their low cost of living is so high as that of the whites, and higher, perhaps.

TUSKEGEE WINS BALL SERIES MONTGOMERY, ALA., April 30—Netting four runs in an eighth inning rally and aided by errors of the visitors, the State Normal Hornet nine were able to get the long end of a 5.2 score Thursday in the final encounter of the series with Tuskegee Institute. This was the last game of the four for the season between these two teams and was the only one to be won by State Normal. Reuben Lewis was the hero of the day, winning his first game for State Normal and going the whole route for the first time. He allowed only 7 well scattered hits and was given almost perfect support, one error marring the fielding record of the locals for the day. Walter Cooley led with three bingles, one of which was for three bases. Hall got two hits and Legerge William Cooley and Savage one each. For the visitors, Wooldridge was the batting hero, with two hits, while the remaining five were distributed between Redeaux, Baker, Gilbon, Bonner and Speelman. Warren pitched a good game until relieved by Smith in the eighth.

Union's fleet devotees of the cinder path will meet their first hard test this year when the speedsters from the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, come over to compete in a dual track and field meet on Hovey Field Saturday, May 9th. All indications point to one of the greatest events of this kind ever to be staged on the historic Hovey Field and local admirers of the track sport will have a rare opportunity to see the section's best in action. DR. HATCHER DEFIES (Continued from page 4) operated with all movements. I have fought nothing but sin. I have sought the respect and love of all and yet I am accused of trying to run on Jasper's fame, preaching his sermon. Has Jasper only the right to preach on the motion of the sun? I have been to Washington and I did not find there any record of where Rev. John Jasper ever got out any copyright on the right to preach about the movement of the sun. DENOMINATIONAL ISSUE. Prof. Hancock seeks to make this a denominational issue by injecting the question as to the mode of baptism. I am enjoying too sweet a fellowship with my Baptist friends to be foolish enough to argue baptismal modes. I not only sprinkle and pour, immerse, emerse, duck or drown. I have told our people to be friendly with the white people. The Bible says love your enemies. Now, having made this apology for my position, let us come to the law and the testimony and hear what God has to say. I believe the Word of God. I honor God's Word above His name and I have His authority for so doing—Psalms 138:2: "Thou hast magnified Thy Word above Thy Name". A PLENARY INSPIRATIONALIST. I believe in verbal, literal inspiration, inspiration of the letter of the Word. See Matthew 5:17-18: "Holy men of God spake as they were moved". II Peter 1:21. Where are Tom Paine, Ingersol, Voltaire, Renan, and others who disputed the Word of God? Dead sat in hell. For the past 50 years, we forsaken Jesus bowed down to Nichie — went to Germany to crown our education. Result — Today ten millions of the flower of our young manhood sleep in mature graves. Belgium has been depopulated. France has been bled white. Poland is a heap of ruins. Germany is bankrupt. America has forsaken God for Mammon. Yes I believe the Bible, all of the Bible, Mounie cosmogony, Jonah and the Fish. Flood, Sodom, Burning EDW. STEWART DEALER IN FANCY GROCERIES. FRESH MEATS. VEGETABLES. FISH AND OYSTERS. Richmond, Va. P. ONE MAD. 1637 Bush, Baham's Ass-bigger asses have spoken and said less. The Bible's the history of the redemption of man on earth, revelation of the will of God to men. It is not a treatise of science, it is man. The Bible is anticipated science by 4000 years, and is from 1500 to 4000 years ahead of our civilization QUOTATIONS FROM SCRIPTURES The scientific Holy Ghost identifi ed the properties and uses of electric city 4000 years before Benjamin Franklin flung his kite in the air or caught lightning on his key. Listen Job 38:35: "Canst thou send lightnings that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?" Ecclesiastes 10:20, telephone, telegraph, wireless: "Curse not the king, no not in thy thought, for a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter". Daniel 12:4, rapid transit: "Many shall run to and fro and knowledge increase". Isaiah 19:23-35, 8:10, highways and railways. Nah. 2:3-5, street cars and autos: "The charlots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another; they seem like torches and run like lightnings. Isaiah 60:8-9, fass steamers. "Ships that fly as the streets, airships. Amos 9:3, Hab. 1:14, submarines: "Though they hide in the bottom of the sea, I will command the serpent and he shall bite them" REMARKABLE FULFILLMENTS. In 1917 General Allenbey captured Jerusalem without firing a gun or shedding a drop of blood. The enemy was paralyzed by airships. Isaiah saw the whole thing 2,700 years before it happened and wrote, "As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem, defending also he will deliver it, and passing over He will preserve it." Isaiah 31:5. I was born in Alabama forty years ago but I was born with both eyes open. The professor injects the denominational issue. I have nine engagements now in Baptist Churches. I have been converted 27 years, but I didn't see Jesus until seven years ago. Now to the question, has the earth corners?—Yes. Isaiah 11:12, "That when God will gather together the dispersed of Israel from four corners of the earth." He is doing it now. ASCRIBES MOTION TO THE SUN John in Revelation 7:1 says, after cribulation, "After this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth". God made it — He ought to know. Does the sun move? Listen to God's testimony of Book of Moses. You say Jasper was ignorant. He was unlearned. Listen to Moses, what God said of him.—Acts 7:22. Exodus 33:11, "Learned in all wisdom and science of Egypt". Were Egyptians scientific? Look at the pyramids. The Holy Ghost ascribes motion to the sun in God's Holy Book more than thirty times. Moses, who was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and with whom God talked face to face (Acts 7:22 and Exodus 33:11) affirms the motion of the sun seven times. Remember that the Egyptians were so skilled in science that they set the Sphinx in the desert and the Pyramids in the delta of the Nile with such geometric and scientific precision that you cannot detect the joining of the stones; and after a lapse of more than 4,000 years, they have neither settled nor cracked. They could make flexible glass and embalm their dead so as to prevent putrefaction and result in petrification. THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON They knew astronomy, astrology, and geometry. Moses was learned in all of these and he said the sun moves. Solomon (I Kings chapters 3 and 4) is proclaimed by God to be the wisest man that has ever lived or ever would live: yea, he was so learned in music, science, philosophy and psychology that he wrote 1500 songs; spake 5,000 proverbs; knew botany from the hyssop on the wall to the cedars of Lebanon; knew zoology from the cookies of the woods to the foxes that spoil the vines; knew human nature so well that he could tell when women were lying. ALL THINGS POSSIBLE. Jesus says in Matthew 5:43-45: HMOND. VIRGINIA "He maketh His sun to rise on the just and the unhjust". Jesus says it moves. Let all men be liars, but let God be true. The question is not one of astronomical theories, but one of the omnipotence of God. God can do all things, knows all things, hath His way in all things. If He made a mistake in ascribing motion to the sun, it is possible that he made a mistake in ascribing salvation through faith. The worst sin in the world is not drunkenness, murder or adultery, but unbelief. Jesus saves thieves, murderers, liars, and what not, but he cannot save an unbeliever A WORD ABOUT PREACHERS. The most ungodly traitor on earth is the preacher, who lives by the Gospel and denies the Holy Word. Shall we lay one hand on the breast of Jesus to take suck and stab with the other? That is what apostate preachers are doing. They are damning our children and teaching modernism in our schools and colleges. They should either be led to the mourners' bench for repentance and conversion or driven from the schoolroom to hard labor. Yes, the sun moves. God halted the sun and stayed the moon over the plains of Gibeon and the valley of Ailalon for Joshua during the battle of Al: Yes, the sun moves. God drove it back ten degrees (more than 36,000,000 miles) to prove to Hezekiah that his life would be lengthened. Joshua 10th chapter. Isaiah chapter 38. FULTON NOTES.

HI-JA CHEMICAL COMPANY Atlanta, Georgia FRESH! Tabloid Magazine HILARITIES This Week By Arthur Brisbane 8,000,000 MORE OF US. FORD'S FIRST AIR ROUTE. OUR POLO LACKEYS. YOU CAN'T JUDGE YOUTH. The population of the United States has increased by eight millions during the past five years. There are 113,000,000 of us now. When the ill-informed suggest that population will outgrow the country, don't worry. The State of Texas alone, under intensive cultivation, could feed easily two thousand million human beings about four hundred millions more than there are on earth now. As for the ignorant man who says "more population will reduce wages," ask him how it happens that, when there were only four million people in the United States, wages averaged less than forty cents a day, whereas with one hundred millions they average close to four dollars? Henry Ford has started his first vee flying machine route. The first all metal monoplane of the air route arrived from Dearborn in Chicago last week making the trip in two hours 50 minutes. Crowds cheered the arrival of the airship, and well they might. Having built that one, you can rely on Henry Ford and his son to build 10,000 more. Those 10,000 airplanes will wake up capital, including capital invested in railroads. The American air- ship problem will be solved and the country will have the protection it needs.

Walks To Preach AMCaster Dorothy Heliand, 15, of Red Lion, Pa., has bobbed hair and is too young to have a driver's license so she walks four miles to preach in her father's church. Her school-mates serve in the choir. 51X HINTS 10 That is excellent news. Both the Postmaster General and President Coolidge are to be congratulated on their effort to establish real flying in the United States. Flying machines owned by aliens will be barred by the Postoffice authorities, as we bar alien ships in coastwise trade. In Chicago, Robert Preston, only twenty-one, jumps to his death in the lake. First he shot himself, and all because "life was a failure." The probability is that he was entirely mistaken. A little more patience and courage might have brought him real success. Some of the ablest men, and most successful, have contemni- cuited at one time or another. No man can say he is a failure until death comes and gets him, and even then he can't be sure. Dying on the Island of St. Helena, Napoleon said that if he had had the good fortune to die in Russia, he would have been called one of the world's greatest generals, and a great success. He thought he was a failure, because he was the prisoner of England. Now everybody knows that he was the world's greatest general and a most extraordinary genius in the accomplishment of his desires. It is all right for the Maharajah of Jodphur to bring native soldiers from his State to act as servants while he plays pol. But what does President Coolidge think of sending enlisted men from the United States army to play a lackey's part in England? Is that what the farmers pay taxes for? Is that the work for which American young men are invited to enlist? Chicago is trying to select among her boys one that can hope to be the n. useful citizen of 1950. Such protection is impossible. The boy with the best brain in Chicago may seem the dullest, least promising today. Newton (Jude) greatest mathematical man on earth, was called dull when, as a mere child, she was working out mathematical problems that would have muzzled his teachers. Gibbon, before he wrote his great History of Rome, was considered a gluttonous, unpromising, semi-military person. Washington, as a young man, after he had undertaken important tasks, declared himself a failure. Demostheses, greatest of orators, stuttered and stammered as a youth. as 150 Years Ago e-President Dawes looking on, e-enacted the battle of Lexington, y of the historic battle.

City Advertising Tax AUTOCASTER St. Petersburg, Fla., put itself on the map by raising money for city advertising through a tax levy. More than $160,000 a year is thus raised. C. C. Carr was one of the pioneers in this — and now, as chairman of the Fourth District of the Associated advertising Clubs of the World, bids fair to take the 1928 convention of that great organization to his town. HAPPENINGS If I was a modern bandit—which of course I've never been—'I'd be takin' some extra chances of bein' too dead to skin. For the country's aroused here laterly, the officers shootin' straight—when they settle with Mister Bandit, his remains is ready to cratel. There aint no fool debatin' when the sergeant salutes a yegg, nor the sergeant aint got no notion of pluggin' him in the leg. The safest crook's a dead yegg to cap, which if I was a modern bandit, it wouldn't appeal to me! There has been times I reckon, when robbery seemed to pay—when the swag was well wuth takin' and twas easy to get away—But, to run the resk of stoppin' a soft-nose forty-five, it seems to me that the hold-up bug aint right in line to thrive. So, if I was a modern bandit, as I hinted at heretofere, I'd refrain from takin' chances on a trip to the evergreen shore.

He believed that Lefty would succurate to swift attack, if only Doney were not hovering about as a potential rescuer Yet when Lefty began to assume a vapety of shapes and signs he was not so certain of his susceptivity to the attack as soon as conceiving. Then he was conscious that Lefty had assumed normal proportions again. He was strolling around the camp, his rite drooping from the hollow of his arm. Sally was sitting up, doing her hair with the aid of a little mirror that proclaimed the advance of the feminist movement in Montana. She was smiling at the Work. "Have a good sleep?" she asked.

"I don't know, except, that the all-around lady and Don aren't here. I asked Lefty where they were and he said they'd been gone for hours, and that it was none of my business, anyhow." The Wreck studied Lefty with an appraising eye. they might go to the fliver and get some sandwiches. He seemed interested in the sandwiches and signaled that they could go under desert. They went, returning to camp with Sally's parcel of provision. Going and coming, they brought them. He accepted a couple of sandwiches with a grunt of acknowledgment, ate them with apparent approval, but did not relax his vigilance. It was dusk when Nosey and Den rover rode it camp and dismounted. Lefty grumbled something about being left alone all day and was told to shut up. Then there was a conference. The Wreck and Sally missed most of it, but gathered that Nosey had decided that it would be safer for hands to remain where there for another night. Something was said about the sheriff, but they could not catch that part. "I'll be doggedged if I'll stay here another night," said the Wreck to Sally. "Ss-h. We may have to."

The Wreck glowered and moved uneasily, but Sally laid a hand on his arm and warned him with a look. "Any reason my wife and I can't be drying on?" he asked. "And notify the sheriff!" sneered Nosey. Damn the sheriff. " Sure. Only I don't figure you're going drive on for awhile yet. Besides, we may be wanting to use the car ourselves." And how long do you think we're going to stay here? "Just as long as I see fit," said Nosey. "And if you don't keep your face shut, I'll shut it for you." Adrian幸 restrained her partner in captivity. The only thing that had a soothing effect was her plea that if anything happened to him she would be left there alone with three unpleasant strangers. They talked things over in low tones while Nosey and his companions busied themselves with getting supper 1. "They're worried about the sheriff," she said. "That's plain enough. Boo must be right in the neighborhood somewhere. They don't even dare go out to the main road." "Well, they're not going to steal my car. That's certain."

They don't know that we're running away from the sheriff, too, and we'd never be able to make them believe it. We're a pair of white elephants on their hands, but they can't and the answer. Letty, who had delphiniums guard duty to Denver, brought them some greasy bacon and coffee. "You'd better fill up," he whispered. "You can't tell when you'll be cooling again. He did not sure an expiration of this remark, and only the Wreck had a fresh sense of unease. Then the trio of officers intered upon a long consultation. The only person who said even cause at tention to the prisoners was Denver, who sat where he could keep an eye on them and wait there, was too handy to encourage the attempted break. Darkness came again, and Sally moved to ordered to move into the warehouse where they could be watched more realily. Nosey took the added precaution of tying their feet together. He did not bother about their hands as yet; he merely wanted to be sure that they could walk and run on an instant's notice. The consultation of the trio continued, at a little distance from the fire, where they were beyond carot of the prisoners. Although it was conducted in undertoes, Sally and the Wreck sensed disagreement, and even acrimily. Finally, Nosey brought it to an end with a peremptory gesture. "You stay here and watch am" he ordered to down, "Loffy and me are let down by the mainroad for awhile. And the first crack they make, let me have it." PROBABLY an hour elapsed before anybody snook. The the anybody spoke. The Wreck's soul writhed under the torture of inactivity. Time after time he calculated the chances of a spring at Denver's throat. Even with his hobbled feet he believed that he might achieve a success; but he could not be absolutely sure.

This Week (Preston News Service.) free-love taking the place of monogamy. Because all of these things are just around the corner the good editor feels that all of the pacifists and others opposed to war, should be sent to fall or to hell. What we need, according to this journal, is a bigger army and navy, more airplanes and more poison gas. In the issue of April 23rd this rampant capitalistic screaming eagle goes into fifty-seven varieties of fits over the "very imminent Bolshevik uprising", as the Record says, and pacifism. The Record sees RED in everything and everywhere. According to this ancient thinking sheet this country is in the greatest possible danger of being over thrown and Mr. Trotsky or his emissary seated in the White House. And it is not only on account of the Reds that we need to go constantly armed to the teeth. An armed truce is necessary to KEEP Colored Races of the world in "THEIR PLACE". The editor has discovered that the Colored world is seething—getting frisky—so to speak. What they need is a dose of what the Haitians got from our beloved marines. I can readily understand why the white South is the tail-end of the earth. It reflects what it is fed on. It is fed on IGNORANCE and TOMMYROT by those who have pocket-books to be filled and kept The editor of the Manufacturers' Record has had a sort of John The Revelator vision. He sees the streets running with blood, our institutions uprooted, the Christian religion banished to Siberia, and For sheer asinthy, crass stupidity and Junk erabre rattling we award the red hot helmet to the Manufacturers Record. This publication is put forth every week in Baltimore, Md., and is dedicated, according to its own admission, to the development of the South and Southeast. TRIANGLE MEETINGS SUNDAY.

THE CRAWLEYS IN AUTO SMASH. Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Crawley, accompanied by Mrs. Sarah Dandridge had a miraculous escape from death last Thursday afternoon when the radius rod of the coupe in which they were riding, broke, causing the car to leave the highway and strike a tree. The accident occurred near Lightfoot on the Williamsburg Road. All of the occupants of the car were cut by flying glass, the arms and faces of two of them being severely cut. Blood gave the concrete around the car the appearance of having been the scene of some particularly devastating martial engagement. Motorists passing at the time hurriedly put them into aueomobiles and carried them to Toano, where their wounds received medical attention. "ELIZA", FUN REVUE SKIT, BIG FUN HERE THIS WEEK. "Eliza", the spectacular and sensational musical comedy produced by the popular Fun Revue Company, scored big here this week on its first appearance at the True Reformer's Hall Tuesday night.

It has been customary since the arm justice to clothes this "commercial" motive in the habiliments of patriotism; take the rostrum and yell: "The Reds are Coming". In this way the dignity of both the law and the PROFITS is maintained. In the issue of April 23rd the Record tells us that the Negro is a more desirable citizen than the foreigner. To be sure he is. He is more easily lynched, as Mr. Dooley says. And, too, he can be used as a strikebreaker. This makes him more desirable. Also the Negro works for less wages than the foreigner. This makes him most desirable. I shall continue to read the Manufacturers' Record so that I may know when to take my storm-cellar to escape the bombs of the Reds. Also in order that I may be in position to tell Negroes what nice things are said about them by this 'steadfast proponent of the Bourbon South Kelly Miller's Authentic History of THE NEGRO IN THE WORLD WAR A Great New War History.

Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true.
