JOHN MITCHELL, IR MAY 17, 1923 THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA STATE LIBRARY JUN 27 1925 STATE LIBRARY Bullard's Charges Are False, Says Hamilton Fish W. Va. Court Rules Assault Trial Was Too Speedy. VOLUME XLII. NO. 33 Bullard Pershing W. Va. COLORED SOLDIERS HAD ENVIABLE RECORD IN THE WORLD WAR (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Congressman Hamilton Fish, of New York, who commanded colored soldiers in France, has written a vigorous letter defending colored soldiers from the imputation of cowardice and unfitness cast by General Robert Lee Bullard in his article in the Herald Tribune. Mr. Fish's letter, published in the Herald Tribune June 12th, is as follows: AMAZED AT BULLARD'S STORY. "I have read with amazement the story of the 92nd Negro Division by General Robert Lee Bullard and as much as I dislike to differ with such an eminent American General, I would be derelict in my duty towards those Negro soldiers in the Old Fifteenth New York who paid the supreme sacrifice, if I did not hasten to deny the glittering generalities and aspersions heaped against the Negro as a fighting man. "General Robert Lee Bullard's article shows a degree of animus against the colored soldier which is unusual from an army officer who should be familiar with deeds of helo-roper performed by Negro soldiers in all our wars; the 54th Massachusetts Infantry colored, under the gallant Col Shaw in the Civil War, the 9th Cavalry, colored, in Cuba, which rushed to the support of the Rough Riders when the fighting was hotest, and the 24th and 25th Infantry along the border and in the Phillipines. NAME INDICATES REASON "Ido not know whether General Bullard comes from the far South as his name indicates, but I do know that his indictment of the Negro soldiers to be absolutely unfair and unwarranted. I do not question the facts presented by General Bullard but differ utterly as to the conclusions. It seems to me that the responsibility for the 'profound dis couragement' in the 92nd Division rests largely on General Bullard's shoulders as the provisional 93rd Division (colored) fought splendidly and had exceedingly heavy casualties "General Bullard says of the 92nd Division," the General who commands them can't make them fight", and again, "its Division Commanding General is not a military man." If this particular General was not up to his job why did not General Bullard replace him? Why is it that the four colored American Infantry Regiments attached to the French Army fought vallantly and that three of those regiments had their flags decorated with the Croix de Guerre for gallantry on the field of battle. No one questions the fighting abilities of the American Negro Regiments leaned to the French; their heroic achievements speak for themselves. CASUALTIES WERE 40 PER CT. "The total casualties of these four Infantry Regiments which had a battle strength of approximately 10,000 or 2,500 to a regiment were 457 killed and 3,468 wounded or 40 percent of the effectives. With the exception of the First and Second Divisions, there were not many American Divisions which had a higher percentage of killed and wounded. These four regiments received over 400 individual decorations for extraordinary heroism under fire, officially proving the gallant conduct of Negro troops in modern warfare. "They, endured all the hardships without a murmur, slept in the cold and rain and faced death from high explosives, shrapnel, gas and machine guns with the same fortitude, loyalty and courage as the other American Divisions. The Negro troops far from being 'discouraged' were known to the French as 'les Joyeux' or the happy ones as they carried out orders without grumbling, and made the best of the conditions with which they had to contend. 92ND NEVER HAD FAIR CHANCE "The answer is that the 92nd Division (Negro) in General Bullard's Army, never had a fair chance from the beginning. The men were lacking in training and the junior officers were fnex experienced and not accustomed to command. Many of the soldiers were recruits who had never seen a rifle in their lives, drafted from the cotton and corn fields less than two months before being ordered to participate in a general offensive. Some of the soldiers actually went into battle with out ever having fired a rifle. Unlike other Divisions, they had hardly any experience in quiet sectors but owing to the need for all available troops were rushed into the September of fensive. "General Bullard goes on to say that 'the Negro it seems cannot stand bombardment'. Such a statement is simply silly and shows that General Bullard does not know what he is talking about. I am quite sure that neither General Mangn or General Gouraud of the French Army, both of whom commanded colored French troops ever had any such idea. General Mangn who had as much experience with colored soldiers as any General in the World War, was most outspoken in his praise and maintained that if properly trained and led, they were equal to the best troops in any army in the world for bravery and fighting qualities. FIRST CLASS FIGHTING MEN "Those white officers who have served with colored troops know that if Negro soldiers are given a fair (Continued on page 5) ALL INVITED TO A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT- Sunday night, June 28. 1925. 8:00 P.

Anniversary services of the forty-five years' pastorate of the Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., and of the seventy-third anniversary of the historic Fourth Baptist Church closed Monday night, June 15th, after an elaborate program lasting eight days. Mr. George W. Gilliam, Jr., clerk of the church, in sketching the life of Dr. Payne, says: "The subject of this sketch was born of slave parents, William and Betsy Payne, about 1849. As soon as he was large enough he was put to work on the farm where he labored until he came to Richmond, Virginia, April 5. 1865. Remaining here for a while he worked at whatever he could find to do, such as carpenter, helper in a blacksmith shop and cooper in a warehouse. He married Miss Sarah Walker of Buckingham County, Virginia, and as a result of this union, he was blessed with two children, Felisco and Virginia V. Payne. He also adopted two of his nieces, Rosa B. and Lillie B. Jackson. "Rev. Mr. Payne professed religion in 1866 and was a candidate for membership in the Doverne Baptist Church of Goochland, Virginia. Circumstances over which he had no control caused him to be absent from the above named church at the times of baptizing; so that two years elapsed before he could be baptized. Yet he remained under the supervision of the elders of the church. When he settled in Richmond he petitioned the Second Baptist Church for membership. After he was examined by the deacons and the church, he was baptized by the late Reverend William Troy, September 12, 1868. The church soon granted him a license to preach: he was gifted in song, prayer and exhortation and worked hard in preparation for the work that was before him. "In 1880 he was called to the Fourth Baptist Church to succeed the lamented Reverend Scott Gwaltney. He accepted the call and was ordained by the Second Baptist Church in May of that year. When he assumed charge of the Fourth Baptist Church, the meeting nouns was a small frame structure, located on Third-second Street, between M and N Streets. After remaining there about five years he led the church to move to Twenty-eighth and P Streets where a magnificent brick structure, sixty by ninety feet, was erected. It was with foresight and vision that Pastor Payne succeeded in erecting a building forty years ago that is still modern. The main auditorium seats about twelve hundred persons and the gallery has a seating capacity of about five hundred more. There is also a very large basement with a seating capacity of about seven hundred people. The building cost seventy five thousand and dollars. "It is estimated that fully ten thousand persons have been baptized by Pastor Payne into the membership of the Fourth Baptist Church and fully twice that number have been received into fellowship. The membership today enrolls two thousand five hundred. Many upright leaders have gone from this church to spread glad tidings elsewhere, it is evidenced by the work of the late Dr. P. J. Wallace, who built the colossal First Calvary Baptist Church, Norfolk, Virginia; the Reverend F. B. Morris, successful pastor of Enon Baptist Church, Philadelphia Pennsylvania; and the Reverend W. L. Ransome, A. M. D. D., scholar teacher and pastor of the First Baptist Church, South Richmond, Virginia. It is conservative to remark colored So Assault T W. G. PEARSON GIVES $25,000 TO KITTRELL DURHAM, N. C., June 25—Close upon the heels of a gift of $200,000 by Buchanan Duke to Kittrell College here, come dispatches from Spokane. Washington, to the effect that Prof. W. G. Pesterson of Durham, N. C. has given $25,000 to the same school for a Science Hall. Prof. Pearson was born and raised in Durham, a principal of Hillside High School and secretary of the Royal Knights of King David, a fraternal society founded by himself and John Merrick over 40 years ago. He is also president of the Bankers Fire Insurance Co., a director of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, and endowment secretary of the Masons of North Carolina. He is connected also with numerous other Negro business, civic and educational organizations. He is now attending the Bishops' Council of the A. M. E. Church at Los Angeles, Calif. that the Church Hill community and the City of Richmond have been greatly helped by the ministry of the Reverend Evans Payne. The Baptist Brotherhood of Richmond and vicinity have continuously elected him President of their Conference. Virginia Union University conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Dixity in 1906. "Dr. Payne stands in the forefront of the minstry of his day. He is calm and unassuming, but is an acknowledged parliamentarian. He is a cherub in prayer, a seraph in song, a terrific debater, an excellent exhorter and a powerful preacher. Mrs. Sarah E. Payne was a pastor's wife in deed and in truth, and contributed her share in full measure to the success of the work of her husband. In 1912 Dr. Payne married Mrs. Elizabeth C. Evans, who, too has contributed much to the success of Pastor Payne." This sketch of the life of Dr. Payne is completed in the souvenir program of 36 pages prepared by the Anniversary Committee of the Church, Mr. S. H. Green, chairman and Messrs. I. Hamilton Carter, Lee Jack son, Joseph Montague and Marshall Stevens, vice chairmen. THE SEWER TRAGEDY. The sewer outlet under the Marshall street viaduct in which three colored men lost their lives and two white men were exhausted in bringing them to the surface, is a harmless looking affair, being about 15 feet deep and only large enough for one man to enter at a time. It seems that the first man started down. Inside are iron extensions for the feet. His companions thought he had missed his footing and had fallen to the bottom, little dreaming that he had been overcome by the deadly sewer gas within. He started down and collapsed at the bottom. A third went down and he failed to come up. Then the others, alarmed, waited for help. In the meantime life had fled. The white men had secured gas masks, but they claimed that they afforded but scant relief. Two of the bodies were turned over to Funeral Director W. A. Price, per Mr. J. E. Price and one other to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott. The Compensation Act allowed only $600 compensation and only $100 for burial expenses. Personals and Briefs The Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church is nearing completion. Mr. Welford Finney, of Everett Street is improving slowly. Miss Nahalia Binford, of 111 E. 17th Street Southside, continues very sick. The Finance Committee of the Richmond City Council has recommended an appropriation of $1,000 to aid in the entertainment of the Elks Convention here in August. Mrs. Martha Lewis, of Everett St. Southside died suddenly at her home Tuesday night about 12:30. Williams Lodge of Elks is having erected by Messrs. Jones and Isham a new porch, at their home, Fourth and Clay Streets. An Elk drinks and a car uses gasoline. One needs more attention than the other and that is why W. T. Gray opened up a place of business to look after both the Elk and the car. Prompt and satisfactory service at a price that you can pay. 8 W. Leigh Street is the place. Mrs. Mary V. Binga and Mrs. Susie H. Robinson entertained the graduates of the Southside, of the Armstrong High and Normal Schools and Virginia Union University Thursday and Friday nights respectively. Delightful evenings were spent. Charles G. Jurgens Son ras madt many a couple happy. The furniture handled by them is of the best material and the terms to reliable pee people are absolutely satisfactory. More than a quarter of a century's experience has made this possible. Corner of Adams and Broad Streets. Mr. J. P. Hubbard, of Lynchburg Va. was in the city a short while last week on his return from the K. of P. Convention at Portsmouth, Va. Rev. W. D. Scott, pastor of First Baptist Church, Goshen, Va., passed through the city last week enroute to Clifton Forge, Va. He had been attending the sessions of the Grand Lodge K. of P. at Portsmouth, Va. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Callahan, of Hot Springs, Va. stopped over at the Bilmore enroute to Portsmouth to the K. of P. Convention. Mr. Callahan is rapidly improving in health Slipping up is a familiar statement and falling down is often referred to. You have no need to do either. If you will buy your gas, oil and other automobile supplies from W. T. Gray at 8 West Leigh St. He carries the best of everything at the most reasonable prices and his service is Al. His patrons remain with him on this account. We direct attention to the U-Drive Taxi Company at 403 N. First Street under the management of that well known hustler, Mr. R. B. Haynes. This is a boon to the average man, who is unable to purchase a car himself, but who can secure one on short notice for a trip anywhere in the city or in neighboring counties at a rate so low that he will gladly accept the service. By this method, by carrying five persons, the cost will be only 2 cents per mile for each one. Going a distance of 25 miles would only cost 50 cents for each person, exclusive of the gas and oil.

LATIMAR INDICTED, TRIED, CONVICTED, ALL IN TWO DAYS CHARLIESTON, W. VA., June 25 —A ruling that a trial was too speedy was handed down in an opinion by Judge Lively of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia in the case of State against Latimar, in which the Court directed a new trial. Latimar, a colored man, was arrested at Williamston, W. Va., on a charge of attacking a white girl and on the following day was taken to the court house and told he had been indicted for the alleged assault on the previous day. The prisoner said he was ready for trial, and pleaded not guilty. Because he had no attorney, the Court assigned one for him, and the trial proceeded at once. During the trial the court house was besieged by an angry mob demanding the execution of Latimar, the disorder and confusion extending even into the court room. Latimar's defense was weak because of the lack of time in which to prepare it, and not one witness was called to the prisoner's behalf. The cross examination of the witnesses against the prisoner was conducted in a haphazard manner, the man was convicted and sentenced to be executed. He was put on a train that evening and taken to the State Penitentiary. In granting a new trial the Court, in the opinion of Judge Lively, said: "The mob has dictated this conviction. The bloodthirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial and had its effect upon the court and jury. Under the stress of this situation it would not have been surprising if the prisoner had pleaded guilty, thereby hoping to escape the threatening mob, and thus prolong his life. The defendant may be guilty; that does not concern us. But he is entitled to a fair and impartial trial, to the calm, deliberate, and uninfluenced judgment of his peers. Orderly and constituted Government demands such trial. It is a safeguard in which all members of society are interested, and which should be jealously upheld and guarded. "A judicial lynching is a graver and more startling crime than a lynching by the irresponsible rabble. Much of the success of any form of Government depends upon the opinion of those governed, of its power to protest them in the administration of laws and in the wisdom and integrity of those who govern. When the courts do not uphold the laws, respect for law and for Government ceases. We are of the opinion that the prisoner has not had a fair trial and that the lower court committed palpable error in not sustaining his motion for a new trial." CHURCHES WILL HOLD JOINT RALLY NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT The members of Fifth Street and Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Churches will stage a joint rally at Fifth St. Church next Tuesday night. Much rivalry exists and each flock is working hard to be in the lead at the final count. Rev. A. W. Brown will preach a special sermon. Drs. King and Brown are rallying their forces for the fray. The public is invited. $10,000,000 War Memorial Here's the Indiana World War Memorial as it will look when finished. First unit of the building has been completed and was dedicated June 17.

MATRIMONIAL BLISS is too often followed by matrimonial woes and few people can successfully withstand the latter. MARCUS GARVEY is rapidly gaining white support and a general demand is now being made for his release from the Atlanta penitentiary. THE WORRIES of this life, if seriously regarded will soon land you in a lunatic asylum, heaven or in the other place. If you wish to live long in the land which the Lord, thy God giveth thee, do not worry. SOME PEOPLE are now endeavoring to make Howard University at Washington, the spent centre of Negro agitation. We have observed for sometime the issues involved and we have had our doubts as to the ultimate success of the movement inaugurated sometime ago under the tireless leadership of Mr. William A. Sinclair, of both Philadelphia and Washington. He has controlled the Alumni of the institution by the launching of a definite campaign, which has won the active support of those in official charge of that organization. We have been puzzled somewhat to understand the mode and method by which his successful campaign for the election of the trustees of Howe and University should be turned into a Waterloo of defeat by the very people, who through his efforts were elevated to office. Now he has been removed from this same Board of Trustees of Howard University or at least, he is no longer registered as a member thereof. The retirement of President Durkee is far away in the future, if we are to judge by the present outlook. Instead Dr. Kelly Miller, one of the most influential educators and leaders in the country has been temporarily disturbed and Prof. George W. Cook, who has a great influence and power with the leading colored people in the United States has been retired, practically in his intellectual prime. It seems that the leaders on the other side have been doing some brilliant scheming and have executed strategical moves, worthy of a Foch, a Ludendorf or a Von Hindenburg. Still, it is evident that the present management of Howard University has leaned too far backward and has been too drastic in their latter day movements. A reaction must necessarily set in unless the rule of reason is applied and conservatism is given a place in the management of this great institution. DR. DUBOIS' DECLARATIONS 1. IN THE JULY Issue of the New York Crisis, Right Rev. Joseph B. Genn, in charge of St. Joseph's Mission in this city and one of the most liberal Catholic priests, who has ever been installed here, takes issue with a previous statement made in that journal that the last of the old guard of New England men and women, who went South to teach black children has just departed. He cites the fact that there are probably two hundred priests and brothers and sisters from New England and its environs laboring without pay within the South today. We do not think that Dr. DuBois can dispute the "without pay" claim upon the mere statement that they are furnished their "victuais and clothes". This was the claim of the patrollers before the war. Dr. DuBois astounds us when he makes the U-DRIVE TAXI CO Phone Randolph 1849. You know the embarrassment incident to borrowing other people's cars and the annoyance in asking favors of those, who own cars. When you rent a car and drive at yourself, the prices charges which usually are much more than the purchase or cost price of a car ceases. The U Drive Taxi Company shoulders the expense. You'll save money by the process. The rates quoted are close to the actual cost of a car should you own one yourself.

It is difficult to guess what will be the results in the offspring of this present generation of drooping and stoop-shouldered females. It is very rare now that one sees a young girl or woman who walks erect. They assume the shape of a question marks whether walking or standing at rest. They seem to think it immodest to throw out their chests and make their spines approach the perpendicular. I suppose that it has all come about as the consequence of the modern dances. It may have sprung from the desire to look at one's ankles to be sure that they are fit for the gaze of the male, or to discover whether or not the powder has blown off their knees. At any rate, if the young girls don't soon straighten up locomotion will be by rolling, like a hoop, instead of walking like a human being. And now comes Dr. Charles Satchell Morris, Sr., with a refutation of the theory of evolution. Dr. Morris will probably be at Dayton, Tennessee to help Mr. Bryan save our youth and the faith once for all delivered to the saints. Dr. Morris' argument is similar to that of Mr. Bryan; he attempts to discredit a scientific theory by recourse to the Bible. The Norfolk Journal and Guide describes Dr. Morris' method and states his argument. It says, Dr. Morris.... unloosed a verbal barrage against evolution and its exponents. Citing an imposing array of Biblical quotations and scientific writings on the subject, and stepping lightly from one end of the large platform to the other with the Bible clasped to his bosom, he successfully dramatized the situation in a way that held the audience wholly within his enclosure'. Then the Journal and Guide goes on to say that Dr. Morris assailed evolution and cited passages from the Scriptures to prove his contentions. He also ap- toowing declaration: "The Catholic Church in America grants for color separation and dis- crimination to a degree unequalled by no other church in America". We were under the impression that it was the other way. We would like much to hear the subject dis- cussed from this angle. Certainly we have been laboring under a wrong impression ourselves for more than forty years, if Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois has voiced a correct recital and a statement: of fact relative to Catholicism in the United States of America. CULT-N NOTES --- Pastor C. A. Cobbs delivered a powerful sermon at Mt.

Although I haven't seen anything that could be called documentary evidence in the case, it is reported the Atlanta Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, the Negro Press Association and other things too numerous to mention, is asking Negroes to buy REBEL memorial coins at $1.00 each. This monkey is to be used to complete the group of rebel soldiers and slave owners that will adorn the face of Stone Mountain. That is, these slave owners will adorn Stone Mountain if the usual inefficiency of southern whites can be overcome. If they get this through it will be one of the very few southerners that white southerners have accomplished without the aid of northern capital brains and executive ability. There is only one thing that a white man in the 'South does well. I don't need to say what it is for the whole world knows. However, it is hard to be believe that even Ben Davis can be assisting them to go. Robert Lee's figure carved in stone for other Negroes to look at. I suppose that by some process of squeezing the camel through the eye of the needle, this sort of thing will be called having sectional pride, civic ambition, forgiving unto seven times seven times, turning the other cheek etc. EVOLUTION REFUTED. Every Negro who gives one cent to help finish the Stone Mountain Memorial should have a red bandana tied on his head and made to wear forever. Should Negroes contribute to the building of this memorial they should be represented in the carving in a very concrete way. Robert Lee should be shown riding North with horses' hoofs crushing over Negro women and children; slaves prostrate in the cotton fields To properly represent their present day relations with Negroes, these white Georgians should carve a burning at the stake on the mountain. To make the thing complete all the handkerchief-ef-head Negroes should be present. at the dedication to help sing "Dixie" and give the rebel yell. THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA pealed to the common sense of his audience and asked them to decide the question as a jury decides other questions. I wonder if Dr. Morris would be willing for that same audience to decide a technical theological dispute, or a legal dispute in which he was involved, or if he would be willing for this same jury—using nothing but 'commonsense'—to prescribe for him when he is ill? A sub-title to this Journal and Guide article, rather humorously tells us that "Dr. Charles Sarchell Morris Refutes Evolution." HOWARD ON DRYDOCK. The pot keeps boiling in our educational institutions. An expert has had Howard University on drydock and has given it a thorough overhunting and scraping. But Dr. Durkee, the president, has been left intact and in position to become head of some other school that bars Negroes from attending. The reports have it that Professor Locke has been let out. also Professor Tibbs'. It is said that a bandmaster will take Professor Tibbs' place in the department of music. Prof. Tibbs is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Tha's action is similar to replacing a department head in a big corporation with the head ignitor. Perhaps it is thought that these young people at Howard, need more military discipline and less formal education. Perhaps they will have the hand play "Hail to the Chief" (Durkee) while the students are marching to and from classes. The expert, benevolently, recommended that the School of Religion be kept and developed. This was to be expected. The whites can always be depended on to have some means of passing their religion on to the Negro. They believe in the Negro. Give the Negro plenty of religion, common labor and military discipline. This is far better so they say, than teaching him to think and act and do for himself. COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" LATEST IMPROVEMENTS IN FUNERAL EQUIPMENT.

It is pointed out that 16 of these crime events is the lowest figure since records have been kept. And even though, as we go to press, word comes from Utah of a lynching there is cause for rejoicing that this monster evil is on the decline, no matter what the cause may be. Lynching, of course reverts to the days of prehistoric man.

That lynching has endured so long in this land of the free and the home of the brave, tinted with modern Christianity. is one of the anomalies of Civilization. Even in the face of the decline, sixteen lynchings are sixteen too many; and so long as one man, woman or child is victim of the mob, just so long will this country be unable to boast of simon-pure Civilization. We feel that the testing time of the dual citizenship of Americans—one in the State and one in the United States—is at hand. And the time to punish mobs which execute American citizens without due process of law is long overdue. The draft of sons for the World War, the interstate commerce traffic, the federal laws of taxation, and dozens of other matters have been and are amenable to federal power. Who then dares continue to presume that an American citizen, beset by the mob, is not entitled to federal protection, whether he be in Georgia, Mississippi, Utah or Maine, for that matter. When State protection ends, it is time for Federal protection to begin; for the Constitution says a person is a citizen of the United States and of the State wherein he resides. For a man whom the Federal Government drafted to fight in France to be unprotected from mob violence, or for that mob to go unpunished for its lawlessness, is, we think, one of the present great incongruities of American justice and independence—a challenge to civilization, and menace to citizens of the United States of America. Even sixteen lynchings, we repeat, are sixteen too many. ```markdown ``` BROADCASTING ..... CRIME NEWS.

In other words, a Chisum dinner is one hundred per cent perfect—cooked with a feeling—and satisfying to the nth degree. It was after dinner, though, that we looked deep down into "Mell" and we found that Chism, the benefactor, outstripped even Chism the giver of dimmers. Here was a man who had imbibed deeply of that theory that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Here was a man who was helping out here and helping out there—a veritable friend in need, as unselfish as the noonday sun. He had reached town just in time to save the day for a buddie, and was sorry he could not stay longer; but friend Bill had wired him from Chicago and he had to make time to the Windy City where he was much needed. Service! Service to the Race seemed to be the ace card that Chisum held, and it was not up his sleeve by any means. It was in the palm of his hand and in his fortile brain.

The rare June days k Washington is all "fret" up, both physically and morally. The rare June days brought beads of perspiration to the brows of Washingtonians, and sweltering heat has scorched the smiles of those few Christian scientists who make believe that Washington is a cool place in the good old summer time. Alas, too, the bathing beach down on the cool Potomac, which has so often brought temporary relief to burning bodies, is no longer available; for Congress blue-penciled the appropriations for the maintenance of the beach when it became painfully apparent that the colored folks of Washington, so often jim-crowed where public utilities are concerned, would not accept the secluded spot on Buzzards Point, where "Sunkissed" Washingtonians could desport themselves for cooling or cleansing purposes, as the case might have been. Six drownings during the hot spell quite convinced white Washington that it had cut off its nose to spite its face in permitting Congress to fail to provide funds for the beach. So a compromise was undertaken to provide funds and space for a beach, at the same time allotting similar advantages, excepting as to location, for the BROTHERS and SISTERS. So insistent were white proponents of the beach that wild and reckless promises were made that srace and equipment, excepting as to location, as aforesaid would be made available to the colored people, whose skins, however, tanned by God, may not suffer as much as lighter tints do under the burning rays of the Washington sum. The compromisors, though, reckoned without their host, who far and away have wide sway in the First Congressional District of Chicago, from which cometh Congressman Madden, though appealed to by Congressman Blanton and other influential folks who, last Spring, had gone without a beach in order to keep the BRETHREN without one, remained adamant and immovable, saying: "I was not in favor of the law as passed, but now that it is a law I do not sanction its violation" All of which leads us to conclude that the good old porcelain tub, heretofore despised in the Capital City in the summer time, will be in high favor this year.

If General Bullard desires to question the efficiency and advisability of using colored officers, let him say so but not indict the Negro soldier of cowardice which is a gross calumny against fearless soldiers who were ready and willing to lay down their lives for their country, and who if well led will go as far as any General or any white officer will lead them. "General Bullard further says 'the politics of our country had forced the formation of this Negro Division contrary to experience'. Contrary to what experience and to whose experience. Since when did the United States ever have Divisions containing 27,000 men beside, white or black. No wonder the 27th Division had a wonderful if not difficult attitude of ranking generals in our army.

Moss, a graduate of West Point who served 18 years with colored troops and commanded the 372nd Infantry in France says, "if properly trained and instructed the colored man makes as good a soldier as the world has ever seen. The history of the Negro in all of our wars including our Indian Campaigns show this. He is by nature of a happy disposition, he is responsive and tractable, he is very amenable to discipline, he has faith and confidence in his '1' leader, he possesses physical courage all of which are valuable military assers". GENERAL PERSHING'S TRIBUTE. "General Pershing says, 'I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." "According to General Bullard's own statement the 92nd Division was under his command only a few weeks, yet he undertakes to condemn all Negro soldiers of cowardice and 'efficiency because of the mishandling of the Division under his command.

If the attack of the 2nd Army failed the blame should be placed elsewhere than in this Division. When the 1st Army succeeded in its attack in September 1918, there might have been some reason to perkach the colored recruits but n't the November offensive before Metz the blame rests largely on poor leadership as there was plenty of time to reorganize the entire outfit, if it were deemed necessary. "In my judgment this unwarranted attack on Negro soldiers and charging them with cowardice is either a deliberate conspiracy to malign and discredit American Negro solders and the Negro race or it was written without knowledge and conclusion hastily or eagerly jumped at from prejudice without a careful investigation of all the facts regarding the training, experience and conduct in battle of all the colored American solders in the American Expeditionary Forces. A CITATION OF BRAVERY. "If anyone questions the bravery of the American colored soldier let me relate the story of Sergeant Butler of Company L, 369th Infantry who pursued a German raiding party into no man's land after they had captured a white American officer and four or five Negro soldiers and who alone and unaided except by the small machine gun he carried, freed the white officer and the colored soldiers, and killed a half dozen of the German raiding party, and seriously wounded the German officer who died in our trenches.

Do you doubt that fully civilized men will transfer surplus heat from the Equator to the North Pole? That will seem, a modest accomplishment some centuries ago. It seems difficult to us.

Coningsby Dawson, writer, mourns because women are set aside, "shelved," at an age when their brothers and husbands begin to be interesting. He says a woman is, or ought to be "at the height of her charm after forty." Various things work against women and prevent their having ancient young admirers, as Nino de Enclos had at the age of seventy. The children come too close together, in many cases, and that wears women out. Then, husbands are dull, and after a day's work their talk is frightfully tiresome.

But times and conditions are changing. Women vote, families are smaller, you cannot tell a woman from her granddaughter, when their backs are turned. And often, when they face you, one is about as young as the other, and the grandmother has, spiritually, the younger face. Tom Lee, negro boatman on the Mississippi, lived long before the world he of him. The steamer Norman sank and he saved thirty lives. The "folks" collected money to buy him a house, much to his surprise. His performance seemed to him commonplace. "I kept going and coming," said he, "until I saved everybody I saw in the river. Then I went to the sand bar and built a fire." The world exists and life is made possible, thanks to the workers that "just keep going and coming." A man writes in his last hour, "Burn me up, scatter my ashes around the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Death has set me free." How does he KNOW that death has set him free? Nature, of which death is a part, has a habit of using the same material over and over again. The tree of this generation supplies mould to the tree that takes its place. A man baked up today may go traveling, his spirit to continue his work and struggling in some other far off sphere. Everybody knows what a depressed working man said to his dog: "You're lucky. When you're dead, that's the end of it. But when I die, they're not through with me yet; I have to go to hell then." However weak this nation may be, in the face of a spirited article written by obscure Socialists, it is a strong nation, financially. U. S. Government bonds went higher then ever last week. Those assured by this writer during the bond selling campaigns that bonds would go above par will please note that Treasury "four and a quarters" sold last week at 107.10. It takes every man fifty years to learn how to live. "At fifty a man either a fool or a physi- cal" But if a man at fifty will do what he knows he OUGHT to do, he may easily live fifty more longer. this day of automobiles and planes the girls refuse to either or swim when they go to the water for a cooling dip.

HAPPENINGS Poem by Uncle John The bleasin' of contentment may be realised, of course, if a feller waxes thankful that the world ain't any worse. But, when a mortal sets around an' twiddles with his thumbs, he ain't the sort of citizen to pick the ripest plums. You'll run across the yapper pearly every place you go, who bees his distinction of the stuff he doesn't know—who favors all the ideas that is easiest to dismise — an demonstrates, unconcealed, that ignorance is bliss. And then, we find the feller so severe to honest toll, that he reckons pure contentment isn't allied with midnight oil — we find, on close observance, that he seldom ever sweats, while indulgin' satisfaction over duties he forgets. Contentment and indifference may travel side by side, and a moderate dose of either one may hold us satisfied,—but if a feller wants to be of any earthly use, he'll find life's true contentment with the stuff he can produce!

She stops to watch the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the station fires five gallons from a passing car. They are held captive at a ranch where they are held up. They finally escape, run into a camp of real bandits, then escape again. Fleeing from the ranch, they are fronted by Sheriff Bob Wells.

"Then what are you sore about?" "I—I’m not sore. I just think you’re the biggest idiot in the whole state of Montana—that’s all." He puzzled over that, got no sense out of it, but became suddenly contite. "I suppose so," he said. "I can’t ever seem to do things right. Only I thought you were in a hurry to get home, and—What?" She had mumbled something, but he did not catch it. "What did you say?" "You’re always putting words in my mouth!" she exclaimed. "I never said I was in a hurry to get home, never said I’d be glad. I never said—" The years were in her eyes again and she made an angry effort to tush them away with her hand. "Oh, stop it!" groaned the Wreck. "I didn't mean anything. Honestly, city I'm just a bonehead. I'm a sar-sighted, goggle-eyed mutt." I'm all nerves. I'm a wreck. I've got a cotten temper and a mean disposition, and I know it." "Do you really believe all that, Henry Williams?" "Certainly I believe it." "Would you let anybody else say..." "No!" "Nother would I," said Sally. The Wreck stared. He swallowed hard. His taut nerves, it seemed to him, were vibrating a million times to the second. He felt as though we were soaring far above the common things of earth. Did she really run-No! Yes. He was scared—solately appalled—yet triumphant. how was it that everything hit him suddenly? For he saw light at it. But the light was so dazzling that it did not show him the way, blinded him. It fairly made him cry. Sally? Yes, old-timer? Morgan! Honestly, could there was a surly interruption in the voice of the sheriff. "We've rolled this darn thing as as we're going to. There's the main road in front of you. If you don't manage yourself from now on, you can stay here for the rest of the summer, for all I care."

He swagged like a little. He was ragged, a trifle absurd—but kingly. He made a sweeping gesture that belonged in melodrama, but with the Wreck it was intense realism. It was a dismissal. "On your way!" he commanded. "Get out of here. You're all through. The middle-aged, solid-looking man, who stood wiping his face and breathing heavily, spoke up from the heart. "Last time I ever go out on a pose with you, Bob Wells," he said. "I don't mind performing the reasonable duties of citizenship, but I'll be dogged if I ever roll a fliver again—not if it stands between me and the gates of Heaven."

"Justice of the peace, did you say?" he asked. "Justice of the peace," said the middle-aged man. "Issue warrants, try cases, send people to jail, and all that?" "All that and other things, young man." The Wreck beamed at him. "Can you marry people?" he demanded. "Not only can, but do," answered the justice of the peace. The Wreck whooped. HE made a rush at Sally, selzed her by the hand end began Mugging her for war. "Stake the whole business 'right now!' he ordered. Sally was startled dismayed. Her cheeks were fiery. "Come on." shouted the Wreck. "Mean what you said, didn't you?" "I-I didn't say anything," stammered Sally. "Yes, you did. I understood it. Took me a long time, but I woke up. Come along!" They were facing the justice of the peace. "Marry you!" commanded the Wreck. The magistrate grinned at them, particularly at Sally. But now she was defiant. She nodded her head peremptorily.

"Well," said the justice of the peace. "I guess that's about sight. Hasn't you got a license?" "Where would I get a license?" retorted the Wreck. "Fick it off a tree? What's the good of being able to marry people if you can't do the whole job? Can't you dig up a license?" The magistrate scratched his ear and looked at the sheriff. Bob Wells shook his head. "You can't marry them," he said. "You ought to know it. Besides, when she gets over her agreement maybe she'll be different." Gail was blessed at him. "I'm not excited and I know exactly what I'm doing. Bob Wells Don't you try interfering, unless you want me to make you the silent looking sheriff in ten counties." The Wreck. gazed at the sheriff and grinned widely. He felt like dancing, or doing something utterly treasonable.

Wouldn't wonder if I could write license on a pinch. Never tried it, but—" "You'll get yourself into a jam," warned the sheriff. Bob. Just got out of bed. The flipper. Then he turned in to the pair in front of him. If you younger folks want to take a chance, I'm game." The Wreck squeezed Sally's arm until she winced, but she sniffed at him. "I wash my hands of it," said the sheriff. "No, you don't. You'll be a wit- ness," said the Wreck. "And, for the love of Mike, judge, get a move on. I'm so nervous I'm liable to go crazy." The justice of the peace was fumbling in his pool. "I presen- tely drew forth a folded and tattered document. "This ain't a regular license," he explained. "It ain't anything but a road mup. But if I can find a clean space on the back I'll see what I can do." He found a clean space after search, discovered a lead pencil and began to write. "I know how the language goes anyhow," he said. "That part of it will be just as regular as if it was printed. I've seen a whole lot of licenses, including my own. There isn't anything very complicated. There. Now, just sign where I'm pointing." The Wreck signed Sally signed. And the justice of the peace sign. Stra Chemical 600 FIFT PITTSBURG "I reckon that's a good enough license," he said, with a touch of pride. "It reads straight as written. It's kind of smudged out, and hardly fit for a frame but on the main points it's just like a pristine one. Only you use one a dotter, which'll be duly turned over to county. Thanks. The ceremony free. Here she goes." He rattled it off with a spoonful of experience, and it was all over when Sally and the Wreck found it was just started. "You're married, all right, said the judge. "I always do it quick. It holds just as tight as a long one. It's like a short affidavit; it puts you in jail just as sure as if it was regular indictment. And I tell you what: if anybody makes any kind about that license, all you've got: do is to pay another dollar and get a printed one. There ain't any question about being married.

Vernon Spratley entered an order directing that Isaac Johnson and Paul M. Williams, "alleged trustees and usurpers of Silver Square Lodge, No. 129, A. F. and A. M. of Hampton" return to A. F. Cannady treasurer of the Lodge and "legal trustee" the jewels and paraphernalia belonging to Silver Square Lodge n w held by the "Usurpers". The Court had previously directed that the monies of the Lodge be turned over to the said A. F. Cannady and the new order completely routs Smith, Williams and Johnson from holding the jewels, paraphernalia or any of the property of Silver Square Lodge. The case was argued before Judge Spratley by attorneys Thomas L. Schater, I. Thomas Newsome and Captain Charles C. Berkeley, representing Cannady and the Lodge and John Weymouth, A. W. E. Bassette Jr. and Louis Wendenburg for the alleged "Trustees and usurpers". The fight has grown out of the action of the Grand Lodge of Virginia in requiring the members of the Colored Masonic order to join a beneficial branch of the Masons. The legal fight among the Colored Masons has created deep interest with members of the order. Dr. Caesar Bassette of this city is a member of the Grand Lodge staff of officers and all of the men in the controversy are prominent colored men. Under the ruling of Judge Spratley the three trustees Smith, Williams and Johnson must immediately turn over the jewels, paraphernalia and equipment held by them to A. F. Cannady, the treasurer of Silver Square Lodge at once. It is understood that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. week end with her daughter, Mrs. Hattie C. Songer in East Wytheville.
