THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XLII, NO. 35 N. C. BUSINESS MAN AIDS IN EDUCATION ;CHICAGO, July 7—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Prof. William G. Pearson, of Durham, N. C. has donated $25,000 to Kittrell College, an institution of the A. M. E. Church in North Carolina. The money will be used for the erection of a science hall. Prof. Pearson had previously given $5,000 to the same institution which was the largest amount ever given previously by one of the group for the school for the erection of a building. The announcement of the handsome gift was made exclusively to The Associated Negro Press by J. M. Avery, Secretary of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. when he and President Edwards of Kittrell and Prof. Pearson passed through Chicago on the r way to the Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. Church, in session in Los Angeles, California. Mr. Avery is credited with "selling" the idea to Prof. PETER J. BROWN Pearson at this time. Prof. Pearson is a notable example of racial achievement. Not only is he a thorough business man but he is a most successful educator. He is principal of Hillside High School, Durham, and has been for almost 25 years. He is a native of Durham, and besides Secretary of the Royal Knights of King David, a fraternal society of great wealth, founded by John Merrick and himself, he is also pre'dent of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, a director 'n the Mechanic and Farmer's Bank and endowment secretary of the Masonic Order of North Carolina. Prof. Pearson is married, but has no children. He has a beautiful residence in Durham, and has always been closely identified with matters of practical racial development. Kittrell College is one of the growing institutions of the South and has been given great impetus recently by a gift of $200,000 from Buchan Duke, of Durham. Plans are said to be in embryo which will make Kit- 7 2 HUSBANDS SLAIN THE MAMIE ELLIS CASE A Plea of Self Defense--The Second Street Tragedy--Counsel Busy. Gertrude Seaton is charged with the killing of her husband, Thomas Seaton, at 15 Coutts Street, Sunday June 12. She shot him six times, at the residence of James Roy. He had lingered there with two females awa ringing the coming of Mr. Roy the husband. She entered and told him to come on home. Upon his promis ing so to do, she went out and later returned, opening fire on him with a revolver. There were eight perforations in his body, being shot six times. One bullet made three perforations. ATTORNEY McKENZIE TO PROSECUTE. Mamie Ellis struck her husband with an axe Friday morning June 26th at she's residence between 6 and 7 o'clock. He afterward died at St. Philips Hospital and she was arrested upon a charge of murder. She was taken to jail and afterwards bailed. It is reported that her husband, who works in the Fulton yards came home about 4 o'clock that morning and after he went to bed she struck him with an axe. The wound in his left temple was deep enough to lay your three fingers in it. THE CORONER'S OPINION. The police officer at the coroner's inquest testified that the bloody axe was found wrapped in some bed clothes, in his room. John Henry Ellis had been removed to another room when he got there. Coroner Whitfield, when told that the plea would be self defense wanted to know how Elli's got into the other room. His opinion was that Elli was struck while he was asleep. The defense will claim self defense. The axe was used to keep the door closed as it had been recently broken open and this was why it was in the room. SON IN NORTH CAROLINA Mamie Ellis's son is said to have had the gun. He has since gone to his father, who lives in North Carolina. Ellis is her second husband. Attorney Harry M. Smith and Attorj. J. R Pollard are representing her. Ellis' friends have employed Attorj. C A. McKenzie to represent the prosecution. He is assisting and will appear with Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield should the case come to a trial. A STABBING AFFRAY Albert Brent was fatally stabbed on Second Street, between Leigh and Clay Streets, July 2, in a brawl the result of previous trouble at a dance. He was stabbed in his arm and in his left side. Anthony Ferguson, who lives with a relative, who is the sister of the late Rev. T. J. J. Mosby at 504 12 12 N. Fifth Street is charged with the murder. A squad of officers swooped down upon the house and contrary to the usual custom here, trell one of the largest and greatest schools in the country. North Carolina, more than any other single State in the South has advanced the educational philosophy of Colored America, and much of the attitude has been developed by the amazing set of men known as the "Durham group" with their ramifications in helpful development reaching all sections of the State, and both groups. RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925 some one of them is claimed to have shapped and otherwise maltreated the prisoner because he would not tell what became of the knife. DIED AT ONCE. It is also said that there are gangs in Second Street ranging from six or seven upwards and when one of their number is assaulted, the assaulting party must deal with the other members. Brent died almost instantly although he was carried to St. Philips Hospital. AN EARNEST APPEAL TO LEADERS. We earnestly appeal to Ministers, Teachers, Professional Men, Lodges, Societies, Organizations and all the Colored people in the State of Virginia to assist in raising the $10,000 (Ten Thousand Dollars) for the extension of accommodations for Tuberculosis patients at The Piedmont Sanatorium at Burkeville, Va. We were at the Piedmont Sanatorium at Burkeville a few days ago and found 120 patients (every bed taken) and 54 patients on the waiting list. We were agreeably surprised to find that Dr. Williams, the State Health Commissioner had gone so far on the new building with the $15,000 that he had secured. He wrote us a few letters, wishing us to hurry with our promised portion of $10,000. He hoped we could come to his rescue by the last of July or he would be embarrassed. In the name of afflicted humanity, we appeal to all the leaders and good citizens of the Old Dominion to rally in this month to raise the largest amount of the quota placed in your city and county possibly. If no one seems to be organizing or placing the Good Will Bonds in your community will you as one interested in the afflicted humanity, take up the cause by organizing a committee and write Rev. M. E. Davis. 1245 Glasgow Street, Portsmouth, Va. who is the State Chairman and he will have the necessary information and the Good Will Bonds at $1.00 each sent to you. HORNE—DAVIS. Mrs. Nannie B. Davis announces the marriage of her daughter, Alice Irma to Mr. J. E. Horne, July 23, 1924. At home 518 N. Third Street, Richmond, Virginia.

The remodelled church is a surprise to everybody, both as to increased seating capacity and the beauty of the design. In this Rev. Dr. A. W. Brown and the architect, Charles T. Russell hold the center of the stage. The plans for the work on the new Fifth Street Baptist Church are now in the hands of contractors and estimates are expected soon. The management expects to get the new building erected for less than $100,000.00. W. T. Gray's place of business at 8 West Leigh Street has been busy since our last issue just as it was before that time. He has an electrical vulcanizer and his customers say that it has saved them many a dollar in the purchasing of new inner tubes. Still he sells inner tubes and in a way, he's working against himself in trying to serve his customers. Those Buckeye casings are a wonder. Ask to see them.

He is but 58 years old, fairly young. If one may be considerate of age as it applies to men. But "Sebastian Kresge is constitutionally and habitually unfitted to make any young woman happy." This is the indictment of two young women. Mrs Kresge and the former Mrs. Kresge. Also Mrs Kresge has brought suit against the millionaire merchant king, asking for $7,000,000 in stock she says he promised her before they were married. She states in her complaint that Kresge called her a "gold digger," packed his luggage and left her gith ```markdown ``` --- out even making provisions for her support. And all of this just because she asked him when he was going to turn over the stock, she says. Also, the present Mrs. Kresse declares that Kresse's fortune has been erected on the foundation of small economies, and that the spending ways of the modern woman appeals him. Which may be an indictment of Kresse or an indictment of the modern young woman, depending upon the point of view. The first Mrs. Kresse agrees with the second wife. She issued a statement saying that Kresse was "constitutionally and habitually unfit to be the husband of a young woman." Kresse and his present wife were married in New York April 24, 1934.

D., editor of The Christian Recorder is keeping the nation informed as to the doings of that great church. It is a costly experiment and the Church is paying for it and it is well worth the money expended ACCORDING TO THE report of Hon. C. Lee Moore, State Auditor, the colored people of Richmond owned in 1924 property, both real and personal, to the amount of $4,133,950. This shows progress, especially in view of the large number who have left the State. Those who remain are still laboring hard to add to their present accumulations. THE MANAGEMENT of Howard University showed commendable judgment when it was decided to retain that brilliant scholar. Dr. Kelly Miller. He is old enough to be permitted to express himself freely upon any topic that he deems worthy of his consideration. He has grown far above his contemporaries and he is a veritable intellectual giant in this world of ours. Even his name without any actual labor will prove a valuable asset to Howard University. THEY HAVE virtually "unhorsed" Dr. Archibald K. Grimke, one of the ablest theologians in this country and Mr. William H. Sinclair, one of the greatest agitators, this or any other country has ever produced. Both are extremists of the most pronounced type. They cannot now and have never been able to see the wisdom of compromising with wrong or striking colors, even half way with error. We admire their fighting qualities, but must admit that they have a poor conception of their present day judgment. Still, the principles for which they are contending will ultimately triumph, although they may not live long enough to see it. We sometimes regard with disgust the rabble that make virtual deocrats of some of our brightest minds and who do not pause long enough to consider the truths that they are expounding for their benefit without money and without price.

He worked and starved—Searc Ackerstrom, University of Pennsylvania student—worked his way through school, and starved himself on stale peanuts while his merger earnings went home to Sweden-to his aged mother. Then malnutrition, overwork, pneumonia, and death. The university granted a posthumous award and sent it home to his mother. This Week as a 'nigger lover', for the earliest issues of his paper were given to an ardent championship of the demand that the Negro be enfranchised forthwith. He, the aristocrat of the press, a man of highest intellectual attainments, actually wanted to have every last untutored, black freedman given the right to vote in all his rags and in his ignorance, with his total lack of any training for citizenship except that provided by master and overseer". Such was the start of The Nation. In spirit it is the same today. There is every reason to feel that as long as Mr. Villard lives this same spirit will dominate and breathe from every page of The Nation from week to week. Thus is The Nation and thus is the man who owns and edits it. But few Negroes know about this latter-day champion of their rights. This is the great shame of our racial life. We follow and hang on the words of cheap, tobacco-spitting and lying white politicians, swallow the intellectual swill and emotional gush of ignorant Negro preachers, wave our hats when a human cipher like Calvin Coolidge is made president and top it all off by crying "radical" when, perhaps, we see a friend STARVED! IT WOULD BE A mighty fine thing if this week or next—every Negro man and woman in these United States would write a letter to Oswald Garrison on Villard and The Nation. The address is 20 Vesey Street, New York City. For this is the Sixteenth Anniversary of The Nation. You know what that means as to the period of its founding and the state of the nation that time—1865. You may guess who Oswald Garrison Villard is when you think of that MIDDLE NAME. He is the grandson of WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON, and of course, there is not a Negro who does not know who GARRISON was. It should be possible to say who GARRISON IS, for he and his name should be very much alive in the thinking of every Negro child and adult. At any rate. Mr. Villard is the grandson and is really and simply another Garrison, ardent advocate of the underdog, 'champion of unpopular causes. The Negro is an underdog and his cause is an unpopular one. Edwin Lawrence Godkin was the founder and first editor of The Nation. Mr. Villard says of Mr. Godkin, 'He began by writing himself down U-DRIVE TAXI CO 403 N. First St.. Richmond, Va. RENT A CAR!

It is time now that he know the difference between a gilded brick and a bar of gold. He should cease to be afraid of being called "radical". Any Negro with the sense of a beagle must be a radical. That is, he should have the clear vision and the courage to look through the bunk and tommyrot of the Republic Party, of the capitalist employers who feed the strife that keeps white and black workers from getting together, of the white preacher who praises and encourages our 'simple childlike faith', of the white platform wind jammer who tells us—with tongue and cheek—of our wonderful progress. There is but one white man and but one black man worth following. That is the white man or black man who believes in the actual brotherhood of all men; who believes in and practices basic human equality; — intellectual, social, economic and political.

It is, however, the shroud of inferiority which ever and often accompanies the white mass of segregation.

OLD SWIMMING HOLES. The Agricultural Department shows that in 1924 the farmers averaged a profit of 21 cents a bushel on wheat and 28 cents a bushel on corn. Many lost money on every bushel, others made more than the average. Farmers that raised potatoes on the average actually lost money, and would have been better off if they hadn't planted a potato. A good wheat speculator, knowing that the prosperous class wanted La Follette badly beaten, and was sure to put up the price of wheat, could easily buy a million bushels of wheat early in the campaign, and sell it at a profit of one million dollars. It was a lucky farmer that could raise five thousand bushels of wheat and sell it at a profit of one thousand dollars. No man can guess what power to speak well over the radio may mean in years to come. The other night bridge parties laid down their cards, women on farms stopped the late cleaning up of dishes, their husbands came in from evening chores, tens of millions listened to the President's clear, incisive matter of fact voice, discussing in plain fashion the importance of national economies and laying down, to the satisfaction of every hearer, the simple truth that the people's money belongs to the PEOPLE. It was an innovation when Woodrow Wilson, so perfectly dressed, drove to the Capitol and talked direct to Senators, Representatives, the Supreme Court and others. "Wonderful audience," the world said. But it was no audience at all. First and Exclus Here are two remarkable pictures by the earthquake. At the left, the plotly wrecked.

Davis is a retired merchant. compared to the vast multitude that heard President Coolidge talk direct to the people of the United States. Proof that the complete costume of a modern woman, including dress, stockings, shoes and underwear, may weigh as little as 24 ounces causes the virtuous to grieve. But, even as woman in her changing moods cuts off her dress at top and bottom, there may be comfort. The low-necked dress is partially justified by this fact, to which your doctor will testify: Cancer attacks women more often than men, and cancer of the breast, dreadfully frequent in civilized countries, is quite unknown among female savages that wear no clothing above the waist. Sunshine seems to keep cancer away. Amundsen is back from "almost to the Pole," and if he lives and can raise the money he will start again. His ambition is to be the only man that ever stood "on both tops of the earth." In English coal mines, mechanical cutters and carriers of coal are driving out men by the thousands. "The truth shall set you free," says the Bible. Science IS the truth, and you realize what science has done to set humans free when you look at the pictures of women that used to work in English coal mines, crawling on their hands and knees through the narrow passages, an iron chain around their necks, passing under their bodies and fastened to a small coal car. Turn from that picture of a woman pulling coal on her hands and knees to a modern mechanical coal carrier, moved by electricity. Patriotic citizens of Indiana contribute $12,500 to preserve James Whitecomb Riley's "Ole Swimmin' Hole." That's worth while; sentiment is beautiful. The government ought to spend a few thousand times $12,500 to fill up a lot of mosquitoes' old swimming holes, swamps and other breeding places of malaria. Some of the money that President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon are going to save might well be spent wiping out disease, deserts and swamps on Uncle Sam's great farm. American officers that went to England to play polo against the British officers beat the British, and the polo military title stays in the United States. That is good.

VIRGINIA Poem by Uncle John We used to wear knee-breeches in the buddin' spring of youth—when a feller's legs was worthy and digestion told the truth. — When the stone-bruise was a fashion, and the drowsy bumble-bee nursed the soul-devourin' passion to defend his liberty. Yes, we used to wear knee-breeches in the economic day, when a keerkul mother figured that the long ones didn't pay. — And she'd sock abbreviations on her young an' hopeful son, — till the camouflage amounted to about the same as none! Today—we wear knee-breeches, though we're slightly overgrown; it takes about a forty-eight to span our torrid zone—A loose, colonial pucker grips the half-bestotted shn — with entry fitttin' sox to store our corns an' bunions in. The gentler sex applauds us when we swat the tiny sphere, but—beeyond the pale of kin-folks—they can hardly be sincere! the Jedge's Josh DELLA SMART IS A CLEVER WOMAN.

Try Your Luck With This Deep One This cross word puzzle is arranged by Mrs. Katherine B. Schober. We hope we weren't the cause of a divorce in the family, and that Mrs. Schober didn't burn the dinner. A easy riddle, the puzzle is good for at least 20 minutes pleasure—and everyone should complete it in that time. It is really one of the easiest puzzles we have ever published, although you will find several rather catchy words. All the definitions are clear, though, and we are sure you will find very interesting. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 What the Crow Dropped AUTUMN splendor was ablaze in the covers of. Beechwood Grange. And there was the more material spectacle of a trestle table in the center of the glade, be- ing loaded with creature comforts by two footmen in morning livery. The men worked rapidly, as the cries of beaters and the popping of twelve-boores heralded the approach of the sportmen for whom the al- fresco feast was laid. The finishing touches had just been put to the snowy napery and sparkling crystal when three ladies sauntered into the glade from a bridle-path. "Thank goodness!" wheezed the elder of the trio, a stout woman with purple complexion and an auburn wig. "There is a table to eat off and chairs to sit on. Knives and forks, too, and quite an array, of glasses. I was afraid we were expected to squat on the ground and drink beer, out of mugs." "Oh, my dear Lady Marrables, that's a bit rough on Sir Dudley!" laughed the next in point of age. a handsome woman of thirty. "You ought to know him well enough to be sure that he wouldn't treat us like that. Besides, as our hostess you probably made the arrangements and are responsible for all this arcadian luxury." "Hostess?" sniffed the plethoric dowager. "I am no hostesses, only chaperon to this naughty child, who's better able to take care of me than I am of her. It's a well-paid sinecure, my job is, and I don't repine, do I, Kathleen?" The tall girl to whom the appeal was made smiled kindly on the speaker, but before she could reply the head of a little procession appeared at the opposite side of the glade, in single file as it 'debouched from another woodland path, but bunching into a cluster in the wider space. Discussing the morning's sport with the crowd, he whirled, sinecure, the "guns" of Sir Dudley Glenister's first big shoot of the season advanced to the luncheon table. Not only was it the first big shoot of the season, but the first occasion of the kind on which Sir Dudley had played the host. He had only enjoyed the title and estates for, six months, his immediate predecessor having died two years before in America under circumstances entailing delay in the succession to presumption of his cousin George Glenster's death was legally granted to him. He was not the only evidence procured by the family solicitors. George Glenster had, without knowing it, been a baronet for no more than a week when he was shot in a bar-room brawl. Sir Dudley, leading his guests across the glade, seemed to be basking in the smiles of the belated good fortune which had pitchforked him from the Stock Exchange into a baronetty currying a fine old man and fortune, and sending a year. A fine figure of a man, in the prime of life, with a loud voice and hefty manners, he might have been a country gentleman all the time. Perhaps his clothes helped the illusion, for from the crown of his burbury hat to his matty leggings he was dressed for the part to the minuteest detail. He handed their guns to their loaders—all but Frank Glenister, e sixteen-year-old Eton boy who was so proud of his new weapon Try Your Luck With this cross word puzzle was arranging hope we weren't the cause of a disaster didn't burn the dinner.

THE GRISLY OBJECT that he refused to part with it, laying it on the ground beside him and gladly choosing the end seat for that purpose. Sir Dudley sat at the head of the table, with the plethoric dowager on his right, the others ranging themselves casually, all but a tall soldierly young man who was at pains to maneuver himself into the chair next Kathleen Glenister. This was Norman Slater, a distant connection by marriage of Lady Marrabies, and a captain in the Rifle Brigade. Sir Dudley regarded him with scant favor and had only invited him to the Gringo to attend a meeting declined to come herself unless Norman was asked. And Lady Marrabies, as Kathleen's guardian, being indispensable, the young officer had been included in the small house party. Sir Dudley was far too much a man of the world to be rude to a guest whom he had reason to believe was his rival in love. He had indeed been a friend of the best "stands" at the shoot and treating him effusively as a kinsman, which he was not. Lady Mar PLOP INTO THE CENTER OF THE GRISLY OBJECT. rables was a sister of the late Sir Philip Glennister, George and Kathleen's father, and Norman Slater was a son of one of her deceased husband's sisters. Another male guest staying in the house was the silent, ruminative man with a sharp, hatchet-like face and cavernous eyes, who in an evident fit of abstraction sat down on the other side of Kathleen. Doctor Willoughby Melville, the nerve specialist from Herley Street, owed his invitation to professional services rendered to his host some years before the latter's succession to the baronety. Dudley Glennister, then a feverish operator in the "Kniff Circus," had badly broken down after a week of wild speculation, and was now paying a social debt to the great philosopher who "wrote" the novel "The With This Deep One by Mrs. Katherine B.

He; also, was of the younger branch lately brought to the front by the hand of Death. As the son of a brother of Dudley, killed in an Indian frontier skirmish, he; was heir presumptive to the title and estates. Since he was the son of the youngest and Dudley intended to provide a more direct heir, the new baronet made much of him without any apprehensive jealousy. The rest of the "guns" who gathered round the table in the glade were gentlemen from neighboring houses, brick-faced squires, a sporting parson and one other. That exception was the exception who did not fall exactly into either category. The Right Honorable Stephen Colne, as the owner of Colnbrook Towers, might have been deemed a squire, but he was certainly not brick-faced. The youngest manance was of an almost unhealthy pallor, due to the long hours spent as a Cabinet Minister on the Treasury Bench. The period of liqueurs, whisky and nicotine arrived. One of the brick-faced squirrels 'had taken advantage of' the general somnolence to work off as original a story called from an ancient Pink 'Un', and he was warming to the risky climax when the words were literally jerked out of his mouth by the Eton boy, who was sitting next him. "Mark over" yelled the youngster, seizing his gun and leaping to his feet. The host removed his cigar and THE LUNCHEON TABLE FELL THE looked skyward. "Don't be a donkey, Frank," he shouted. "It's only a crow." Frank Glenister was not to be denied. He had already crammed a cartridge into the breach. There was no time for two—and raising his gun, he fired at the bird that by now was sailing directly overhead. It was a clean miss and, sharply swerving in its flight, the crow disappeared over the tree-tops at the far side of the glaze. But it had evidently been a close call for the wined marauder, causing it to drop its plunder. Plop into the center of the luncheon table fell the grisly object, cannonning off a dish of pears and, as it finally came to rest, confessing itself to be a fleshless finger from a human skeleton.

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

Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops. A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH PEACE TERMS—750 Pages I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of M. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have seen many other suffering ones to him and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I command Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR 2419 M. Grace St. Richmond Va
