LABOR MEET Danville Delegates Fail to Present Their Plea in Open Session. VOLUME XLII, NO. 26 RACE IGNO LA The Colore Danville D Their P The Virgin's Federation of Labor has been in session this week at the Labor Temple on the S. W. corner of Eleventh and Marshall streets. Quite a commotion was caused among colored folks by the announcement that an effort would be made to bar the colored delegates from admission to the sessions. The administration forces scented trouble and by skillful management and private discussion, the issue never was made in the meeting and the colored delegates were approved by the Committee on Credentials and the regular badges of the organization issued to them. The colored delegates in attendance were P. L. Hines, J. W. Moore, Edward Fox, Samuel Marrow, of Newport News; R. L. Gretter, Portsmouth; George W. Millner, Norfolk and J. M. Christian, Richmond. This was the thirtieth annual session of the organization and the indications are that the bond of union between the white and colored members of the organization has been made stronger than ever. A fitting tribute was paid to the late Samuel Gompers, who was so consistent in his effort to weld the forces of labor together, regardless of race or color, creed or condition.

HIGH SCHOOL ELECTS COLORED BOY STUDENT PRESIDENT NEW YORK, May 1—(New York Times).—Arthur Waller, colored, 17 years old, a senior in the Newtown High School in Queens, was elected President of the student body yesterday over two white candidates nominated on opposing tickets after Waller had been proposed by a general nominating committee. Waller, one of thirteen colored students among 3,000 boys and girls is on the cross-country, attack and baseball teams, head of the advertising department of The Lantern. RY LANE TO THE DEAREST MOTHER the school monthly, and a debater. He is the son of the Rev. Douglas Henry Waller, retired pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Elmhurst, and lives at 5 Cutler street. Elmhurst. He was chosen for the place two weeks ago as the student best qualified for the position. Ordinarily there is no opposition to the choice of the general nominating committee but this time opposition developed immediately. William Buck. 18 years old, a senior, son of George Buck. of 58 Britton Avenue, Elmhurst, was nominated by an "independent" faction. One of his principal supporters was Agnes Geraghty, holder of several swimming titles, who was nominated for Vice-President on the general or Service ticket with Waller. Buck is a member of the baseball, football and track teams. Another faction developed and it nominated Albert Wesphal, 17, a senior, son of Henry Wesphal of 159 Forley street, Elmhurst on what was called the scholastic ticket. Westphal is editor-in-chief of The Lantern Electioneer grew so heated that there were several fights in which it it said, even girls had a part, and on Tuesday, Dr. J. D. Dillingham, the Principal, announced that the police would be ready if there was disorder at the election, but the halloting passed off quietly. Waller got 1,400 votes. Buck 500, ```markdown ``` and Westphal 400. Miss Geraghty, who had opposed Waller, was elected Vice-President with a total vote of 1,000. Dr. Dillingham said he was pleased with the results and that Waller deserved the honor. VISITORS ENTERTAINED AT THE STOKES' MANSE. Again Dr, and Mrs. William H. Stokes turned their most spacious and beautiful suburban home into a gathering place for Richmond's most elite and cultured society. Wednesday afternoon, from five to seven, their home was a brilliant pageant of beautiful flowers and shaded candle lights. The favorite ones came to do homage to two distinguished guest, Mrs. Marion D. Butler, of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Stokes' house guest, who lectured to the Neighborhood Club the evening before. The other guest was Miss Delliah Beasley, of Oakland, California By A. B. CHAPIN the only colored delegate to the National League of Women Voters. Mrs. W. T. Johnson, in her finished and artistic loveliness presented Miss Beasley. Among other things she said Miss Beasley was a reporter for one of the largest white newspapers in the West. Miss Beasley told us of her experience as a delegate in the women's meeting here and of her club life at home. Her talk was very interesting and every one was pleased. Many were the commendations. Mrs. Stokes was assisted by Mrs. S. S. Sparrow, Mrs. Louise J. Lewis, Mrs. Emily Ewell, Miss Kulah N. Cunningham and Miss Susie Baker in receiving her guests. The cultured life of Richmond was never more elaborately entertained. A delicious menu of chicken sand-wiches, tea, ice cream and cake was served. More than seventy guests were in attendance.

Calvary Baptist Church, was called to the work of the ministry in 1913, entered the Virginia Union University in 1915 and graduated in 1922. REV. C. A. COBBS, Pastor, Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. In Memoriam. In sad, but loving memory to my dear husband, Rev. A. T. Overby, who left me one year ago April the 30th: One year has passed, my heart's still sore: As time goes on I miss you more, Your memory is as fresh today As in the hour you passed away. Peaceful be thy rest, dear husband, And sweet to breathe thy name; In life I loved you dearly, In death I do the same. And again I hope to meet you When the day of life is fled; When in heaven with joy to greet you, When in heaven with joy to greet In Memoriam. In fond remembrance of my dearly beloved and devoted father, G. W. Rison, who passed away May 12, 1924 I often sit and think of you, When I am all alone; For memory is the only friend, That I can call my own. No more are you passing amongst us, No more your dear face we see; But the memory you left, dear father, Will live, through eternity. MARTHA RISON CAMPBELL, 661 West Third Street, announcement and regret to those Amer- icans, who had charge of the affair COLORED SINGERS WITHDRAW The International Council of Women in quinquennial session at Washington, D. C. has had several embarrassing questions raised. One was with regard to the special reception at the White House, where provision had been made for only 350 guests. The one affecting colored people was caused by the segregation of colored women delegates. As a result, the colored singers withdrew in a body last Wednesday night from the American Music Program, as a protest against such treatment. The explanation given was that a commercial firm had been given charge of the arrangements and was responsible for this breach of international etiquette. Their failure to take part in the exercises was the source of much PRICE, FIVE CENTS obbs' t Work Bapt. Church m...Member- creased. Raised There Und- eployed Chains and s Working. Rev. C. A.

GREAT LEADERSHIP He was licensed to preach in 1914 under the regime of Rev. A. Hobbs and was called to the pastorate of the Church in 1919. He found the Church in a deplorable condition financially and spiritually. Under the leadership of God, as an under shepherd, he has been able to add more than four hundred members to the Church, and with the co-operation of his faithful wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Cobbs and the great aid of the grustee and deacon, A. D. Daniel, who served under the administration of Rev. Archer Ferguson, who served the Church for more than thirty five years and the active co-operation of the membership, has raised more than $8,000.00 for improvements and the liquidation of the debt of the Church. THE LARGEST AMOUNT In 1920 the largest sum ever raised in a rally in this community was lifted and in a recent rally of about two months, ending last Sunday. more than $1,000 was raised. Those who acted as captains were Henderson, Christian, Thornton, Scott, Brown, Holmes, Miss Ruth Godfrey, Mrs. Mary Boyd, Terrell, Richard Morris, Deacon William Washington, Deacon Beverly Valentine, Rev. C. A. Cobbs and John Robinson. We extend thanks to our many white friends and to a generous public. Rev. Cobbs also serves as pastor of Second Bethel Baptist Church.

His platform: Lincolnism. In behalf of a local campaign for a Lincoln memorial, he has addressed Boy Scout troops, Camp Fire Girls and even city officials and luncheon clubs. He plans to keep right on speaking, too-on through high school and college, and after that, in his practice of law preliminary to moving into the White House for an eight-year tenancy. BROTHER FOR HIM "We ought to have an army, navy and air force second to none, as a defensive measure," says Milton. "Yes but we're the money coming from?" breaks in his brother, Englege. "First, Milton wanted to be a fireman when he wanted to be Tom Mix." Englege explains in a whisper "But he got this president bug a long time ago, and sticks to it pretty seriously. Maybe he'll make it. I'll vote for him." And seriously is Milton preparing. He has gathered every picture of Lincoln he can find, collected, read, saved every book or article about Lincoln that he saw. He can more than hold his own in any discussion of the Rail Splitter, even when a resident of Springfield, Ill., meets beneath the country, meets another Lincoln," Milton exclaims. "And in time, I thought, I could study and become that president." ETIQUETTE by FLO. Dear Miss Flo: Is it necessary to wear anything in the hair with a formal evening gown? Thank you.

MAY 9, 1925 PEOPLE WHO WIN in this world are those who have far-seeing intel- lects with a foundation of common sense to support them. IT IS OUR OPINION that Marcus Garvey should be pardoned. His continued incarceration in the Atlanta Penitentiary is only setting a premium upon his martyrdom and with his release, he will occupy the same position among a large body of Negroes as that occupied by Eugene V. Dela among a large body of Socialists. Persecution is often misraken for prosecution and vice versa. WHITE AND BLACK LABOR THE VIRGINIA FEDERATION OF LABOR. In its thirtieth annual session made no mistake in its action in meeting the race question squarely and unequivocably by seating the colored deterents without question. It must be plain to any thoughtful mind that the interests of white and black laborers are so intertwined and linked that the separation of the one will be fatal to the other. There is no question of the so-called "social equality", whatever that may mean, but one of civil rights and labor-union equality. White labor must either carry black labor up with it, or black labor will remain down and undermine and destroy the foundation of the structure upon which white labor must climb. The late Samuel Gompers saw and understood this. Being used to the most sordid, poverty-stricken conditions, the Negro laborer can exist much better than the white laborer, under similar conditions. What is said of labor unions is equally true of American citizenship. Negroes are asking and insisting upon civil and political rights. Social intermingling is of secondary consideration and few of us have any desire for it. To speak plainly, the interests of the white American are closely related to those of the black American. A combination of effort on the part of both will bring success and a separation and a racial J division upon the part of either will spell failure. THE "IRONY OF FATE". IT SEEMS TO BE the "irony of fate" that a delegation from the Universal Negro Improvement Association should appeal to the President of the United States to have him intercede with the Liberian Government to the end that Negro emigrants from this country shall be admitted to an African Republic established for that purpose. It may be that we are mistaken, but our understanding was that President King denied entry to Negroes shipped by that organization, while welcoming any others who came on their own volition and with sufficient funds to ensure their unkeep in that particular part of the Master's vineyard. Then again, this organization claims that an agreement had with the officers of that organization was nullified. At first blush, it looks as though President Marcus Garvey's followers are in the category of "a man without a country". They do not recognize as binding their allegiance to this country and they are barred from their father-land, so to speak, where they have a right to expect to be received with open arms. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who is largely responsible for this condition of affairs, is "sawing wood" and with respect to this particular question is "saying nothing". PEN POINTERS PEN POINTERS You can always tell where weeds are going to grow, by where you plant flower seeds. All the other breaks may seem to go against you, but you can always depend on the break of day.

COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" 1—REACTIONS IN AFRICA. . . 2—DRAMATIZING NEGRO TRAITS. REACTIONS IN AFRICA. Even a worm will turn and lashingly contend for its rights. Thus are certain tribes of West and South Africa, particularly those under English rule, who feel that their Lord Paramount has not dealt justly with them, beginning to protest against what they assert is an era of injustice, both mild and marked. Their protests were first mere frowns; but as civilization has slowly crept into their midst they have begun to follow in the footsteps of others whom civilization has wrought into a chafing people seeking light, wisdom and equity. Native labor has but sullenly accepted the labor conditions and wages set up by English overseers and employers. Frequently, farm lands have gone to waste under the idle hands of African labor which has become thoroughly awakened to the joy and the sorrows of the new industrial day. So apathetic have become certain African laborers working under English rule that one of the English governors made a trip through several colonies, exhorting labor to go to the post, and endeavoring to paint rosette pictures of wages and conditions of labor, hoping to stimulate greater interest, and stauncher loyalty. World civilization, though, is making itself felt even in West and South Africa, whose natives resent the growing race prejudice and segregation. They resent being debarred from Parliament. They dislike the debarment from South Africa's real army, which is supposed to fight for the country in times of war. They are angry because people of color are prohibited from offering products for sale in the public markets of Johannesburg. They can see naught but prejudice in the Urban Act, which deprives the natives of the right of owning ground or building lots in any of the towns of South Africa. They claim that under the present rule it is sought to prevent them from rising above the level of hewers of wood and drawers of water—a precedent of inequality. These are some of the reactions lately outstanding even amid the tumult and shouting said to have followed in the wake of the visiting Prince of Wales. It was to be expected for exploitation of any people, as history shows, is a time-clock affair, and when the alarm strikes, the sleeping people awaken and the exploiters become troubled.

Miss Elizabeth Gertrude Stern (white) of New York has generously called the attention of the public to the experiment which is taking place in that city in the matter of endeavoring to dramatize racial traits of the Negro. In a complimentary vein, Miss Stern has described the Ethiopian Art Theatre, a New York institution of drama devoted to proving that the Race's contribution to the American stage may be as great as it has been to poetry, music, etc. There could have been added to these comparisons, without fear of immodesty, science, warfare, industry and dozens of other branches of American progress in which the Negro has risen to the same dizzy heights of perfection as those set by his teachers. However, as to the Negro students attending the Ethiopian Art Theatre, Miss Stern generously states that they have been found easy to teach, ready to receive, eager to learn, and responsive to suggestions, and that they need but to be shown to grasp a mood or an expression. The inference is as plain as day, namely, that the Ethiopian Art Theatre will eventually produce a black Mansfield, a Marlowe, a Mantell or an Ellen Terry, just as there have been produced in other walks of life Hayes, Harrison, Carver and endless numbers of "stars" in virtually every latitude of world endeavor. It is well and good for AnglolSaxons to boast of their years of civilization; but it is a sad example of selfishness for them to hopefully presume treat their long era of "perfection" is to be kept within the confines of their own minds. There have ever been among them, and there ever will be, for that matter, kind people like Miss Stern, who are opening wide the portals of wisdom to the world's black folk; and who can yet indisputably assert that the latter may have some innate gift or emotion which, when given its full sphere of activity, may carry the black man to heights unknown by any other man? In the meantime, the Ethiopian Art Theatre is doing a noble work in dramatizing racial traits—traits which exhibit something more than comedy and spiritualistic Negro life—traits which will eventually carry all people back to the days of the Master of men.

(white) singing lamentations because, as they say, large numbers of college students (white) become "suicides and failures" because "intellectual attainment with little or no consideration of physical health, emotional stability", etc., is the prime objective of American colleges, to the prejudice and neglect of other essentials in the educational career of college youth. Poor fellows are they, the majority of whom have access to courses in liberal arts and sciences, throghh the unloosening of the strings of fat purses as aiders and abettors of the educational advantages of the country's finest universities. With but two per cent of American youth attending college, it is a shame that physical diversions should be omitted to such an extent that insanity and nervous breakdowns should take toll from the pursuers of mathematics and science. But, lo, American white youth would do well, then, to follow in the footsteps of American black youth who seek diplomas from colleges. About 99 per cent of the dark-hued college content, of necessity, augment their intellectual attainments with a physical eigh-hour a day (or night) plan, full of physical exercise and ample emotion. We met one this morning on his way to the college laboratory. He had just finished cleaning some 20x30 plate glass windows downtown in a store, in which he was porter. Had to go back at noon and clean out the cellar; and at night, yes, he cleaned up the first and second floors. Usually reached home by ten-thirty at night, leaving some time for study and rest, for he was not due on his store job in the morning until half past six o'clock. Oh, no, there are no nervous breakdowns or suicides among Negro college youth,—that is, there are none from neglect of physical exercise or emotions. The former is always present. It is made possible by dining-room trays, mops, brooms, and other implements of work force made for similar purposes. Emotions! Plenty of them for Negro college youth, who live in a perpetual emotion, wondering whether they can struggle through or not. We know, for it was our own personal experience. Dr. Ruggles and Prof. Williams would do well to use this prescription among their own youth, whom they would vank from impending graves. It undoubtedly cures the evils over which they are lecturing in mournful meter. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Fisk—Fist—McKenzie—Missed. Colored people of Washington, D.

Entries are coming in with every mail interest mounts higher with every passing day, and hundreds of wing-footed athletes are going through their training stunts all over the country in preparation for this glorious spectacle. Besides the regular gold, silver, and bronze medals, and silver cups, awarded by Hampton Institute, several additional trophies have been presented to Hampton for winners in certain events. A cup has been provided by the Chicago Defender as an additional incentive and feature of the collegiate 440-yard dash, which has been a nip and tuck affair in every preceding meet, and which promises to reach the elimax this spring. A cup will also be given by the Madame Walker Company to the winning team in the collegiate relay. In the scholastic division a record entry is expected. A featured event will be the "Tidewater Relay" which will be open to schools in the Tidewater section of Virginia only, while Frank A. Young, sporting editor of the Chicago Defender has donated a cup as an additional prize in the interscholastic relay. All these prizes will be added incentives for the center-nath athletes. The first three place winners in the individual events will be awarded medals. Keen rivalry will be given plenty of opportunity to express itself on the Hampton Institute track, which is one of the best in the country, being 24 feet wide on the 220 yard straightway and 15 feet wide around the quartermile oval track.

Many striking testt- monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. 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 fast fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true.

Ashley of Woodbridge, N. J. says the automobile is a cure for the divorce evil. He has sent hundreds of husbands and wives away from his court reconciled—and resolved to go buy a car. HAPPENINGS This Week By Arthur Brisbane BUILD A GOOD NAME. OUR LOSS BY RUST. DID "FATE" GET HIM? HONOR THE AUTOMOBILE. What is the value of a good name? Financiers that bought the Dodge automobile company from the heirs of the two able brothers that established it have re-sold the company to the public (keeping a lot of stock for themselves) at a valuation in which the name Dodge represents $80,000,000. The public eagerly purchases the stock and bonds at that valuation. Similarly, when Hart Schaffner & Marx made a company of their business, the name which they had established, by business ability and SOUND ADVERTISING, sold for five times as much as the actual assets. And that name was probably worth TWENTY times as much as the assets. Build up a name by houesty, intelligence, wise advertising, and you have something that fire, earthquake or tornado cannot destroy. Rust costs this country $300,000,000 a year and scientists wonder how they can save that money. One way is to use copper or brass instead of iron, for water pipes, gutters, etc. You are told that rust is caused by electricity generated by water and air combining. A way may be found to make iron rust-proof. Meanwhile, wherever air and water mix, use copper or brass and forget your troubles for a hundred years. Oscar Palmquist went down with the Titanic. But he came back to the surface, swam for hours in the icy waters, and lived until March 23rd last. His body was found in a shallow pond in Connecticut. He had wandered into the pond, and drowned. On Hindenburg AUTOCASTER Co-op Head Sues AUTOCASTER Aaron Sapiro, originator of the Farmers' Co-operative Marketing plan, has filed suit for $1,000,000 against Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent denying that he is in "a conspiracy of bankers who seek to control the food markets of the world." ed' you'll never be hanged, and versa," some will say swim as ha as you like, the water will you." The Turks and millions of other Orientalts, deeply religious and superstitious will assure you that the day of your death was fixed millions of years before you were born. God knows exactly when you will die and how. Therefore, the hour and manner MUST have been fixed from all eternity, otherwise God could not know. And to doubt that he knows all things ahead is imminous. Cold common sense, however says that Palmquist would not have been drowned, had he not wandered into the pond, and would have been drowned, when the Titanic sank, had he not been a strong swimmer. This world would be too dull if everything were fixed for us in advance. And if, as the, Turks believe, all is settled in advance, and Allah and Mohammed, between them, know everything, each man's fate and destination after death, must be settled in advance. In that case, why struggle to reach Mohammed's Paradise? Struggling would not do any good, if you're sentenced before you're born. On motoring tours, throughout the United States, seeing America first, and seeing America in the most comfortable, satisfactory way, Americans will spend this year $2,500,000,000. This gigantic sum will be divided among the various communities along the popular motor roads of the country. And prosperity will increase greatly in the wake of the two and a half billions of cash left behind. Respect the automobile, the men that make them, perfect and cheap. And if you have no automobile, go and get one. To be WITHOUT it is extravagance. Daniel Clancy, father of twenty sons and daughters, drank a little too much in honor of his oldest son's approaching marriage, and was arrested. "Go free," said the Magistrate; "the father of twenty is entitled to a little celebration." That's judicial wisdom. You observe that it is usually the father of twenty, not the mother, who celebrates in that particular way. Any obstetrician will convince you that the mother of twenty really might celebrate with a good excuse. But the mother of twenty or more, or fewer, is content to celebrate by setting a good ce Best U. S.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA HELPS NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath Try Your Luck With This Deep One BEGIN HERE-TODAY "The Nervous Worm," an accents young easterner, is driving Sally mean from her father's ranch to the skiing area. At the point of a run the rock takes five railings from a skiing chair. Charlie McCormen, foreman of the ranch along the route, makes them captives because he wants them to be underwood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they use to ascend the snow, is unwittingly searching the untryside for the "bandits" who are behind the ranch, the rock finally escape from the ranch, they run into a camp of real bandits and are again held captive. They lie under the ranch and the bandits "Denver" by name. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Denver was watchful. Sitting close the campfire from the two sonners, he did not permit their movement to go unnoticed. And wrife was always at his hand. The reck hoped that he might become busy; even an instant's nod would sufficient. But Denver was apparently a person who could dispense th sleep when he chose, and this is obviously one of the occasions. was a black-haired, saturnine lion, apparently rather stupid, yet art enough to devote himself tale-minded to the vigil that had in ordered by his chief. Sally and the Wreck made an art to pass-time in conversation, but it felt no freedom of speech the presence of Denver, who list- ed but offered to take no part, is presence discouraged talk, par- sarily, as the one subject they shed to discuss -escape -was pro- tected because of his inevitable dropping. But they bogged up for awhile, half-heartedly, be- fore there was nothing else to do, all a deep-toned rumbling noise perpetuated Sally in the middle of a fight. She remarked, casual- ly, "I don't wonder if we caught Chihuahua." said the Wreck, gloomi- ning, "I imagine nothing more to take them alive there in our war. The camo did not even back in the hills, and twice there were flashes in the black skies. Denver added a couple of sticks to the fire and huddled back again, still with the rifle between his knees. "I suppose we'll get wet," remarked Sally, in a resigned tone. "Well, there's nothing on me that will get hurt." "Let it rain," said the Wreck. There was a stirring of leaves on the topmost branches of the trees, followed by an atmospheric slugginess that became oppressive. The lightning was growing more brisk and frequent while the face from the skies was multiplying itself. Just one more discomfort to be endured, the Wreck reflected; they seemed to have encountered nothing but bad luck since they left the Bar-M. A fresh roll of thunder, and a second later Sally touched his arm. He glanced toward her, and found that her eyes were watching Denver across the fire. "I didn't say anything," answered Sally. There was a faint frown on her forehead which he interpreted as an order not to ask questions. Yet he knew there was something she wanted to say to him. She was still looking at Denver, and the Wreck also looked. The study brought him no enlightenment. Denver sat stolidly and watched them without interruption, yet with a diligence that was admirable.

The Wreck also fell to staring without the he tried to do it in an unobtrusive manner. Apparently it had something to do with Denver. An instant later he had a glimmer of understanding. There was a brilliant flash, then an interval of three or four seconds, then a deep bellow that echoed heavily through the woods. Denver's head twitched, his glance lifted itself for an instant toward the tree-tops, then he huddled back and glared again at his prisoners. The Wreck settled himself to watch. He had not long to wait. A vivid play of light in the skies, a series of rolls crashes. Denver's head twiced again in involuntary accompaniment, his shoulders stirred and there was a restless movement of his head. Once more his eyes sought the blackness overhead, only to wince when it was gashed with a white, irregular streak. Sally and the Wreck exchanged glances, the latter making a faint movement of his head, to signify that he understood. Denver was afraid of a thunderstorm. It seemed so absurd that for an instant the Wreck wanted to laugh. Stold, insensitive to human contact, with a jaw fashioned perfectly for a heavy-weight champion and a physique that matched it. Denver was the ideal bully and bad man. Habitually he wore an expression that told of his inurement to violence. Without fear, he would take his changes with a sheriff or anybody else. But he was afraid of thunder and lightning. The heavens crashed again, flaring in two different directions. Denver responded automatically, with a twitch that affected his whole body. The pair of watchers saw him tighten a quivering lip. He favored them with a look of defiant suspicion—a warning that they would better keep out of his private affairs. Sally turned her eyes upward. "It's getting nearer every minute," she told the Wreck "Yes: we're going to catch it." "I only hope it rains, too," said Sally "The dry storms are the worst" "You bet they are," agreed the Wreck. "I don't know why, but it's always so" "And it's always worse in the woods, on account of the trees. Why, I remember—" The sound of her 'voice was swallowed up in a roar.

Denver's head seemed to shrink behind his shoulders and for a second his eyes closed tightly. Then they opened with a jerk of terror as he remembered his prisoners, "That was close," said Sally, in an awed tone and with a meaning glance at the Wreck. "I'm afraid we're going to be right in the center of it. If it would only rain!" "Well we've got to take our chances," declared the Wreck, solemnly. "What can we do?" "Nothing," she sighed. "Only—" Denver was biting savagely at his under lip and the fingers of one hand were drumming nervously on the ground. "Does it hit much in the woods?" he asked, suddenly. There was a sort of emptiness in his voice. "More than anywhere else," answered the Wreck. "But it doesn't do any good to run. If it's going to get you it'll get you, as sure as a gun." "I'm-I'm afraid I'm getting nervous," whimpered Sally. The skies flared and detonated again and, with a little shriek, she threw her arms around the Wreck's neck. "Henry!" she cried: His eyes were stealthily watching Denver and his hand was creeping cautiously toward a stick of split wood that lay near the wood. "Not yet—wait!" Sally was whispering with her lips close to his ear. "Give him a minute or two more" she slipped. The Wreck waited. He found it difficult to believe what he saw with his eyes. Denver's big body had sagged loosely and his shoulders were trembling. He was a man on the verge of a panic, but nerveless. His lips twiced grotesquely, his eyes seemed to be staring at nothing. He wanted to shut them, but he did not dare. "I-I don't me it," he mumbled, in a petulant voice. "I—" "God help us!" groaned the Wreck. There was a full, a sudden blast of wind in the trees, then a fresh onset of fury from the skies. Flash and crash were blended in a terrifying ensemble. Sally, still clutching the Wreck, kept her eyes on the man beyond the camp fire. His body swayed, his hands clasped themselves in a sudden panicism and there was a dull agony in his eyes. "I can't stand it!" he whined, in a high fistcoto. Suddenly he crossed his arms on his knees and buried his head. He was sobbing. "Now!" whispered Sally. The Wreck's fingers and cloud on the split stick. He rose swiftly in his hobbled foot, balanced as took aim and fumed. It furiously. Denver's head. Instantly he followed it, teaping clumsily across the fire and hurling himself on the huddled figure. Denver went over on his back and the Wreck clutched for his throat. "I'm afraid to Sally," he said when she saw him roll off the cumbent figure, hitch himself into a sitting posture and begin the task of antying his feet. "No hurry," said the Wreck. "He out cold. I don't know whether it was the stick of wood, or whether he just fainted. Get your feet loose before we do anything else." Sally went to work at the cords that hobbed her. The Wreck cast a contemptuous glance at the flablent form of Denver, the bully. "The big simp," he said, as he shook his feet free. "Oh. I don't know." said Sally working feverishly. "It's horrible when you're afraid like that. You can't help it. I've seen me when she was just as bad. And we had to be just as hard on who was even worse, although he was a terrible fighter. And—" The bellowing storm obliterated the remainder of the sentence. As stood up, free of her bonds, she shook her head, as though to throw off an unpleasant sensation.

Dr. Hatcher Defies His Critics Reiterates His Position on "A Four Cornered Earth and a Moving Sun." Cites Biblical Declarations and Disagreements on the Astronomers and ScientistsSolomon, the Wisest Man Believed the Sun MovesA Large Audience at the City Auditorium. (Reprinted by request) 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 Jaspar, 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 packed edifice. INTRODUCED DR. HATCHER. A few white people were in the audience. A heavy downpour of rain shortly after 3 o'clock rended 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 fail to pay his respects to Prof. Gordon B. Hancock, a member of the faculty of the Virginia Union University, who had so unmercifully ascalled him in the Planet of the 25th ult. 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 129:7. "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.

GOD'S POWER. Christian friends. I have read these texus 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 tall, well developed, erect Negro preacher, wondertly 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 THE RIGHMOND PLANET. RIGHMOND. VIRGINIA conjured three generations. The popu- nativity 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. No ob 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 this 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, Hallie 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 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 1883, 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, Rowbethman, 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- trable ice; beyond this, God knows what. The sun and other heavenly bodies are lights in the firmament, circling over the earth with the pola star as a center. 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 subscribe thereto would subject me to dicule. Then I saw Jesus, the man with the thorn-scarred brow, wounded ed 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, but it is not unscientific, and I was converted from what I learned in Murray and Pryor'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 have had 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 $10000, 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, Odd Fellows, Pythians or whatnot; 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? Yet I am accused by a so-called minister of the gospel of being an imitator, of putting Richmond to shame. I have prayed for and cooperated 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'd 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 baptistical 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 loves 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. If believe the Word of God, I honor God's Word above His name and I have His authority for so doing—Psalms 188:2: "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 1:28. Whereace Tom Paine, Ingersol, Volgatire, Renan, and others disputed the Word of God? Dead and in hell. For the past 50 years, we forsake 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 premature 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, Mosaic cosmogamy, Jonah and the Fish. Flood. Sodom. Burning Bush, Balaam's Ass—bigger asses have spoken and said less. The Bible is the history of the redemption of man on earth, revelation of the will of God to men. It is not a treasure on science, but it is not unscientific. The Bible anticipated science by 4000 years, and is from 1500 to 4000 years ahead of our civilization QUOTATIONS FROM SCRIPTURES The scientific Holy Ghost identified the properties and uses of electricity 4000 years before Benjamin Franklin fungi his kite in the air or caught lightning on his key. Listan 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 roads. Naah. 2:3:5, street cars and autos: "The charlots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against mother; they seem like torches and run like lightnings. Like Isaiah 60:8-9, faas steamers. "Ships that fly as the clouds", airships. Amos 9:3. Hab 1:14. submarines: "Though they hide in the bottom of the sea, I will comand the serpent and he shall bite them" REMARKABLE FULFILLMENTS In 1917 General Allenby 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, 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 SEVER corners of the earth". He is doing it now. .. ASCRIBES MOTION TO THE SUN John in Revelation 7:1 says, after tribulation. "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 SOLOMONS 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 coonies of the woods to the foxes that spoil the vines; knew human nature so well that he could tell when women were living ALL THINGS POSSIBLE. Jesus says in Matthew 5:43-45: "He maketh His sun to rise on the just and the unjust". 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 Gibson and the valley of Ajalon 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. ```markdown ``` Roanoke Items gGuT (Mad cen Stanfield. Agent) ee eae ee ee) ee ae aie district of Mt. Zion A. M. E.

J., May 6—In an editorial under the above caption the Newark, N. J. Evening News has the following to’ say: + “there has come a notable almin- ution in the crime of lynching. The annual report of the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Colored People gives the figures tell- ing the story, Last year there were only 16 lynchinge in the United States as against 28 in 1923, 61 in 1922, 64 in 1921, and 65 im 1920. For the thirty years prior to 1919 the average number of lynchings per year was 107. : “During the past year the Govern- ment took up the cases of 55 mem bers of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry sent to Leavenworth for life or for long terms in 1917 as a result of rioting at Houston, Texas during the War, for which crime 19 of their fellows were hanged by the military authorities. In every case the terms of these men were reduced after an investigation, 20 of them were released last year, and the last of these prisoners will be given freedom in 1928. “There was also last year the case of a member of the National Guard of Alabama who was convicted of second degree murder for participat- *ng in a lynching and was sentenced to serve eighteen years in the pent- tentiary. In many cases of attempt: ea lynching it is recorded that sher- iffs have removed their prisoners for safe keeping, and in others the local National Guard unit has been ordered out by the Governor. “Perhaps race prejudice has not ‘been altered in any degree in the ‘past five years, but it @ apparent {rom the figures that the Nogro ts getting more in the way of justice |than was the case when mob violence was frequently in evidence”.
