ZION BAPTIST CHURCH REDEDICATES Rev. Gordon B. Hancock Leads the Procession. Magnificent Remodeled Church Structure Crowds Throng the Edifice. Rev. A. W. Brown, the Great Church Builder, a Central Figure. VOLUME XLII. NO. 45 SIXTH BAPT Rev. Gordon the Magnificent ture---Cro Rev. A. W. Bro The re-dedication of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church at the north east corner of St. John and Duval streets began last Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. The edifice was packed, with the exception of the aisles. The audience presented a scene of loveliness seldom equaled for the costumes embraced all of the colors of the rainbow. The ushers and deacons performed their service to the satisfaction of every one. Those who could not secure admission took their misfortune good-natured and all went well. REV HANCOCK PREACHES It was ten minutes to one o'clock before Rev. G. B. Hancock commenced his sermon and he had the congregation with him from the start. The choir furnished inspiring hymns and the money-raising cam pall was in the foreground all the while. This is a practical example of remodeling which beggars description. Coming down Duval street from Price street, it is practically impossible to tell that this is not a new church structure from the foundation up THE FRONT VIEW The old brick structure is hidden by a layer of new brick tied into the old reinforcing the same. The rear has been extended back and the front brought out to Duval street with the main entrance doors considerably towered. The beifry or colonnade on the west front adds materially to the appearance of the building. Entering the same, one proceeds between bronzeed pipe balustrades or hand-rails to ascend to the main floor. There is a centre aisle and two other aisles, each close to the eastern and western walls. Back of the rostrum and higher up is the choir gallery THAT SHOWER OF LIGHT The large organ is a split affair, permitting the radiant gleams from the colored panes of glass in the rear to throw a refugiant shower of light, both upon the chair and upon the pulpit. The seating capacity has been materially increased for the rostrum is some 12 or 15 feet further from the front entrance. The galleries have been extended or deepened some three feet all around, while the space over the entrance has been utilized practically to Duval street for an additional seating capacity AN ARBOR OF FLOWERS. But the pulpit, the rostrum last Sunday morning was beautiful. An adopt at decorations some wizard at accomplishing pleasing effects with flowers had been at work, for the profusion of variegated choice and chosen products of the nurseries and the gardens had selected with rare skill the results of God's handwork as portrayed and produced by nature and while not "painting the lily" had so arranged these beauties as to make the rostrum an arbor of plants and a boudou of selected flowers. It was loveliness exemplified and emphasized. It gave to the speakers an enthusiasm of oratory REV. A. W. BROWN Pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church. that nothing else could do THAT MEMORIAL ROOM The decorations, both as to the ceiling, galleries and side walls are in keeping and materially add to the beauty of this spacious auditorium. The electric lighting system is practically perfect. In the rear is the pastor's reception room. The floors have been covered with expensive material. In the basement, few changes have been made. Lost space, so to speak, has been utilized and just under the front steps the entrance to which is from the basement has been located the unique John Jasper Memorial Room. In here may be found with other articles, the quaint pulpit or sacred desk, from which he thundered his celebrated Sun Sermon. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNEX All of the windows are of stained glass. While the main church structure has been primarily reserved for the congregation, the Sunday School has not been forgotten but another structure, new throughout, has been built on the lot adjoining and in it are many rooms, the Kindergarten rooms, with their tiny chairs being especially noticeable. This building is connected with the main church edifice both downstairs and up. it being two stories in height. The toilet and lavatory arrangements are perfect BEV BROWN IN CHARGE Concrete sidewalks add materially to the appearances of these two structures. Communion services were (Continued on page 8.)

The 45th Annual Session of the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R., convened in Richmond, Va., Sept. 8-10, 1925, at Reformers Hall. Mr. Lee Trent, the Grand Worthy Master, presided, and was highly complimented for the work during the year. The report of the Grand Master, Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer, showed that the record of the Order during the year was a brilliant one and the delegates were more than delighted at what they saw and heard. Tuesday night, the 58th was a public meeting, featuring the same address by Prof. Miles W. Cornor of Virginia Union University, and response by Mrs. Alma J. Scott, Washington, D.C. Wednesday night, the 9th, was also a public meeting and was very largely attended. The principal speaker was the Rev. Dr. James S. Hatcher. (Continued on page 5.) --- SOCIETY NOTES.

Richmond society welcomed into the folds one of the prettiest deburantes of the season in the person of Miss Julia Conley at an informal social in her honor given at the beautiful new apartment of her mother on Taylor street on last Tuesday evening. A delightful time was enjoyed. An appetizing menu was served, and although the weather was inclement, the guests departed in their many cars, having spent a wonderful evening. Mrs. D.

Hancock will take formal charge of the Moore Street Baptist Church next Sunday. His selection and acceptance have given general satisfaction. SEEK INJUNCTION AGAINST NEGROES White Residents Will Test Validity of Building Restrictions. A suit that will test the validity of restrictions imposed upon residential plots by real estate developers and of current statutes designed to separate districts occupied by white and colored people was filed in law and equity court Saturday, Sept. 12th. J. Herbert Floyd, J. F. Bailey and Frank Wallenhorst, representing residents in Chamberlayne Court, development of the Land Investment Corporation, filed suit for a permanent injunction restraining Lemuel V. and Mary B. Eggleston colored, from living any longer at 2200 Brook road. The bill of complaint states that the Eggleston couple purchased a double lot in Chamberlayne Court in violations of restrictions in the deed contract, and in further violation of the restrictions, built a house there and are living there. The restrictions, says the bill, bar colored people from owning lots and from building and living there for a twent-five year period beginning March 22, 1916. It asks for a permanent injunction requiring the colored couple to vacate at once, to lease to white people pending final settlement of the litigation, and to sell the property. It refuses a refusal by them, the bill asks that the court appoint a receiver to carry out these aims. The lots—Nos. 79 and 81 of Block C of the tract—were sold by the Land Investment Corporation to the Suburban Development Corporation, to The Universal Negro Improvement Association Division here staged a meeting at the Sharon Baptist Church, Thursday night, with Acting President General William L. Sherrill as the star attraction. The price of admission was twenty-five cents and this tended to reduce the size of the audience, although those present, both white and colored, were enthusiastically appreciative of the utterances of the speaker. Acting President B. L. Johnson, presided. On the rostrum were J. H. Burk, W. J. Harris and Major Ernest Sevier Cox, representing the Anglo-Saxon Club, No. 1, of this city. Some fifteen or twenty associates accompanied him to the meeting place and included in this number was the cavalier looking Col. Percy G. Hawes, one of the most popular white Virginians in the state. A recitation was rendered by Mrs. Laura P. Johnson, Attorney Wm. F. Denny said that he was happy to be there. He paid a tribute to Henry Lincoln Johnson and he then referred to Hon. Marcus Garvey, who had put the world to thinking and as a result of his movement had also put the white people to think (Continued on page 5) Bela Outlaw to the Eggleston couple. The restrictions were cited and agreed to in deed, it was stated. The restrictions were similar to others imposed by real estate developers here, the first requirement being ownership and tenancy by white people.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA This Week By Arthur Brisbane BUSINESS IS GOOD. SHE DIDN'T CRY. PITY POOR NEW YORK. THINKING IS HARD. Business IS GOOD. Tell that to your inquiring friends. The value of crops will be TEN THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS. Farmers are more cheerful, prices good. Commercial business in cities is improving steadily. Extraordinary showings will be made for August by many department stores and other big institutions. The state of New York pities itself because it pays $500,000,000 income tax, almost a third of the entire national tax. New Yorkers shouldn't forget that if they pay $500,000,000, it is because forty-seven other States send all their wealth to New York banks, spend millions in New York shops and hotels, and allow New York's high finance to tap with its corporations and its interlocking ownerships the sources of wealth all over the United States. Since New York gets the income, it should be content to pay the tax. "President Coolidge will leave the coal situation for the present to Congress and hopes there will be no profiteering in the meantime." So reads the dispatch. That is a large hope, for "in the meantime" many dealers have raised the price-fifty cents a ton. With the public, panic-streken, rushing to buy, that means comfortable profiteering. Mrs. Elsie Eaton Newton, Ohio lady, found herself facing the emptiness of life, with her two daughters married. Many ladies would have sat down to have a good cry. Mrs. Newton went to Marietta College, worked hard, got her A. B. degree, with her two grandchildren sitting in the audience, to cheer. Now she is Dean of Women in Marietta College, and happy.

The next generation will read about "the navy patrolling the route," to save the liers if necessary, and that will seem as strange as sending an automobile with a carrier pigeon in case it should fall down. Mr. Konkle in New York, to prove gratitude for the recovery of his son, supposed to be hopelessly ill, will build a 65-story building, partly religious, partly commercial, made up of a church and a hotel, with 4,500 bedrooms. Ten per cent of profits will go to missionary work, looked after by the son. The father will look after the profits. The dining room will hold 2,000 in the tallest building, thus far, in the United States. This religious building contrasts interestingly with the old sinful Tower of Babel, which probably was about one-half the proposed height of this 65-story hotel. The great Bernard Shaw, in a mood of unusual but accurate humility, says the world thousand years hence will know nothing about him except that the great French sculptor Rodin, once made a bust of Shaw, biographical dictionaries will contain this: "Shaw, Bernard; subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise unknown." Even that's an overstatement, for in a thousand years Rodin won't be remembered any more than Shaw. Rodin in art, 1,000 years from now will be as unimportant as Kipling in literature or Shaw in philosophy. After war broke out, the Czar put Russia on a cold water basis, stopping the sale of vodka absolutely. This column then suggested that absence of whiskey would mean more cold thinking by Russians, and that one result of such thinking would be the absence of the Czar. That prophecy was fulfilled. Now Bolshevism restores vodka to its old alcoholic power--about forty per cent. Men to whom thinking is new dislike the unpleasant sensation and effort. And governments that want to rule in peace find their work easier when the crowd ruled is well supplied with whiskey. ```markdown ``` Health by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Cold is one of the most powerful agencies opposed to free circulation of the blood. Immerses the hands in ice-water—blanching stiffening and pain will result. Free circulation of the blood is the outstanding essential for good health. It is true that cold bathing is, in certain conditions, a valuable procedure, but abuse of this powerful agency is certain to produce harm. Unless there is prompt reaction after cold applications to the surface of the body, there are few measures more dangerous. Cold contracts the capillaries and forces the blood elsewhere from the point of contact. If the surface of the body be chilled for a considerable time, the blood is driven into the lungs or other internal organs with great force and stasis will result. Toulouse of invisible bacteria find aignment in the congested tissues, and multiply rapidly—as in pneumonia, arthritis and even meningitis. Cold is a much more deceptive agency than heat—the latter warning its victims in time, while cold may inaugurate a fatal disease, without imperative admonition. The subject of "winter bronchitis" will occur with the advent of cold weather. Many elderly people are afflicted with this distressing malady, and swallow barrels or cough mixtures which may or may not give temporary relief. Air your bedrooms daily, and close them at night. Aging people should not sleep in cold air, neither should they be exposed to sudder changes of temperature. There is no sense in changing a comfortable room into a most uncomfortable one, and warm air may be just as pure as cold. THE TABLE YOUR FOE WHAT D'YOU WANT OF A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, EH?

The harmony of greatness can exist only in a character which is strong; where a rich, deep life weis up, and opposites blend together in unison.—Ullman. THE DEATH OF Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia removes from the arena of public life, what may be said to be the "last of the Old Guard" so far as the State of Georgia is concerned in the matter of Republic politics. He came from the school of Judson W. Lyons and Col. William A. Pledger, able colored politicians and statesmen, who have gone on before. Just how Henry Lincoln Johnson managed to "keep the saddle" in his native State in view of the changing conditions will always be a mystery to those not upon the scene at the time. We have been puzzled to conceive just how the present situation can be met at this time. We instinctively thought of that impetuously brilliant Benjamin Jefferson Davis as his logical successor. While it is actually a problem for Georgians, primarily, as a matter of fact, it will be watched with interest by colored people everywhere. Henry Lincoln Johnson possessed peculiar characteristics, backed by a transcendent judgment that enabled him to "get there" and to remain at the station, he had previously selected as the point from which to direct his energies. His critics and his enemies saw fit to at times unmercifully criticize him, but whenever he was heard in his own defense confusion reigned in the ranks of those, who had been foremost in holding him up to ridicule. He is gone. A race of people mourns. We ask the question, while looking to Georgia for an answer. Who will take his place? THE GARVEY MOVEMENT AND THE AFRICAN COLONIES. WITH THE LONE exception of President General Marcus Garvey himself. Acting President William L. Sherrill delivered one of the ablest addresses Thursday night. 10th inst. on the aims and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, generally known as the "Garvey Movement" that has ever been heard in this section. We can hardly doubt but what he was serious in his statement that the United States of America owed the Negroes of this country for two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil and that he as one of them wanted a settlement upon the following basis. He proposed that the Government of the United States settle a part of its claims against certain European Powers upon a basis of exchange, to win; that the aforesaid nations surrender their African colonies to this country and that this country in turn turn these colonies over to the Ne-groes of this country in payment for the labor of their fore-fathers, man-festly upon the basis of an inheritance. We take it that the Ne-groes, who are to be primarily so recognized must be members of the organization of which the able West Indian leader is the presiding genius. Without considering the rumpus that would be raised by some Negroes in this country, who hate Mr. Garvey and all else that bears his endorsation or merits his favor, it seems to us that under the rule of reason, fearing upon the consent of the governed that a similar protest would be heard from the motherland, Would these African Negroes may of whom have been educated in some of the best schools and colleges in Great Britain and Europe mildly submit to such a transfer of allegiance. Could the Garvey colonists land in that country and if they did, would it be upon the basis of the consent of the governed? It has been the settled policy of the League of Nations to hold a plebiscite in small nationalities in order to permit the --- A DECEMBER TALK TO JUNE BRIDES ```markdown ``` their allegiance in the matter of government. Would these Africans consider both the United States Government; and the foreign Negroes from this country as interlopers? If Mr. Sherrill is serious in this matter it seems to us that it would be sound sense and good judgment to consider and discuss this phase of the situation. Last, but not least, could a claim for debt on the part of these Negroes be set up against the Government when these same Negroes by constitutional amendment have become a part and parcel of this Government, entitled to all of the rights and privileges of every other citizen of the United States of America? It would seem to us that the Negroes would necessarily be required to relinquish all of their rights and privileges under our Constitution before they would be in a position to claim an indebtedness extending over such a period of years. Could citizens of the Government sue themselves when the accrued value and title of such labor is now vested in and owned by themselves along with all other American citizens? Save by propaganda, can the redemption of Africa come from without? The Moroccans are beginning the movement from within and upon their success will hinge the future redemption of one of the richest and greatest continents upon the face of the globe.

Dear Miss Flo: Before I married my husband he was the most wonderful lover in the world. Now, it's hard to believe that he is the same man who rushed me to death—sometimes boring me with pretty attentions. Why now he never tells me that I am pretty—or that I look nice. He never thinks to bring me candy or flowers, or taking me to a place of amusement—unless I ask him to do. And that's just the point—I want him to do those things without being asked. I tell him over and over again that he doesn't love me any more—and he just laughs and calls me a child. Then I get furious and we quarrel. After the quarrel, I get a little attention for a day or so—then it starts all over again. What can I do to make him more attentive? The _bigges_ disappointment—the greatest disillusion of life—according to new brides—comeh in that, first year of marriage—the year of read (statement). The bride feels that her world is slipping from under her when she sees that lovely thing—HER romance with HIM—slipping away, and her marriage becoming dull and uninteresting. She feels that she has been inveigled into matrimony under false pretenses. She argues that her husband led her to believe, from the ardor with which he woed her, that he would be an eternal lover and would spend most of his time telling her how beautiful she would be. My advise to you, little bride—and to all the brides in the world, is to repeat to yourself, when you begin to feel that your husband is not as attentive or as romantic as you would like him to be, the too often quoted, but nevertheless sapient, words of Grover Cleveland, who probably never expected them to be used in matrimony: "It's a condition and not a theory that confronts us". Because it seems like a cold, rare imaginative assertion, every bride will resent it. Nevertheless, it brushes away with one gesture of MORRIS' GONFECTIONERY B. M.

SA-H-H-H I THINK WE'D BETTER HIKE WHILE THE HKING'S GOOD GLOOM OUT common sense all the rose colored dreams and romances and fairy tales of courtship, and leaves the bride feeling the reality of marriage as it is. Millions of women are making themselves miserable because their husbands never make love to them, never pay them a compliment, never give any sign that they still love them and want them, above all things to be happy. That husbands should be as attentive after marriage as before, doesn't it? This aspect of the situation at all. If women would only abandon their theories, about what matrimony should be, how husbands should act, and accept the truth that very few men are sentimentalists, they would save themselves a lot of needless suffering, tears, broken hearts, nervous prostration, and put the divorce rours out of business. LEARN THESE FACTS. BRIDES! Few men are sentimentalists, and it is a wise bride who faces that fact squarely. Most men feel like fools when they are love making, and so they get the ordural over with as quickly as possible When a man marries a woman he considers he has given all the proof necessary of his devotion. Oftenwise, why should he undertake to be her shopping and board him? And of course, having married her she should realize that he isn't REV. DR. R. V. PEYTON Ex-Pastor of Sixth Mt.

She soon regizes the attention she is by tears and quarrels or hysterics are not worth while. She should try to be enough of a philosopher to take her husband as he is kind and generous. She should try to be happy and contented even though he is a dumb lover. She should realize that his demonstrations of love are in the form of kindnesses—and checks. Though she may feel starved emotionally she is sure of the more substantial and necessary things of life. And as a last reminder—"It's a condition and not a theory that confronts us". It is the woman who can forget how she would like to be—and deals, with it as it is, that makes a success of marriage. VAN DE VYVER INSTITUTE DAY SCHOOL OPENS THURSDAY, SEPT. 10, 1925.

The use of the Church building was created merely as a courtesy to WM. S. SHERRILL ing. He then introduced Acting President General William L. Sherrill. White Men Predominant The speaker advanced to the front amidst applause. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a duty to perform. There is here present a gentleman, who has done much to aid us in securing the release of Hon. Marcus Garvey. I refer to Major Cox. Garvey is in prison in Atlanta. The judge, who presided in the case was white, the jury that tried him was white, the prosecuting attorney was white, therefore we need white friends to aid in getting him out of prison. Those Ralging Colors While the number here is small, I note that the enthusiasm of those present for the—the colors—the red, black and green, is large. We form the nucleus. We have decided that we will not turn back. When I was here before the church was crowded. We have here factions which tend to strangle the Richmond Division to death. I have been as far South as New Orleans and as far west as Kansas City, my heart is never happier, my soul more filled with gladness as it is when I am here to talk to the men and women of our race. We Need to Build Them If we will follow the religious instructions we have already received, we will have no need to build any more churches. I am talking about building an organization that will be strong enough to protect black men everywhere. He then spoke of a race of people from the slave-ship that had worked so long in the sun, until its face had been burnt black, whose feet had been trolled along rough roads until they had become mat; a race that is larger in numbers today by many times than was the white race at the time of the American Revolution. Foreign Greetings I bring you greetings from Central America from our divisions there. I've been on a five weeks' tour in British Honduras. They have not been able to hear Marcus Garvey as you have, but they are filled with enthusiasm. Mr. Sherrill spoke for about two hours and during that time held his audience spell-bound, not by his oratory, for he is not an orator, but by the force of his argument. It was undoubtedly one of the ablest pleas ever delivered in this city by a follower of Marcus Garvey. His voice is clear-cut and impressiveness and his earnestness held his audience until the close. His statements relative to Marcus Garvey's greetings in prison and the ways he greeted them treated there were imitative. The great leader is not breaking under the restraint imposed upon him. His plea for payment to Negroes for the 250 years of toil in the form of land in Africa awakened an enthusiastic response from those, both white and colored, who were fortunate enough to hear him. He is evidently a profound scholar and should win fame and fortune as an author in the school of letters. The notes taken of what he said would fill many columns of this journal. Racial Integrity At the conclusion a wave of applause swept over the audience. He had made a strong plea for racial integrity and against the "damnable doctrine of amalgamation" as he put it. The white contingent started the applause all over again and it was then that he arose and made complementary references to Major Ernest Sevier Cox and proceeded to introduce him. There was a noticeable commotion over in the corner where, the pastor, Rev. R. H. Johnson sat. The chairman had come down from the rostrum and was talking to him, but his words seem to have intensified the feelings and the determination of this influential divine. his funeral divine Ben Johnson "Breaks In" REV. JOHNSON BREWER Mr. Sherrill went on with his introduction in the meanwhile and a Major Cox arose to approach the sacred desire say Rev. Johnson arose and announced that he did not want to create a scene, but the church had specifically let the church out for the meeting with the understanding and the promise that that no one else, but Mr. Sherrill should speak and the committee had agreed to respect this agreement. Major Cox quickly and quietly resumed his seat, while the closing hymn was sung and the benediction was announced. Some persons gathered around Mr. Sherrill to extend congratulations upon his address. Group Discussions The white visitors gathered in groups and in undertones discussed the unfortunate situation. It was reported that John J. Fenner, Jr., had extended the invitations to Major Cox and his friends. His position as head of the organization is alleged to have been vacated. He was at the church earlier, but soon left and the embarrassing situation was the result. Rev. Johnson had seen an announcement in the afternoon paper concerning the proposed addresses and arrangements and had declined to open the doors of the church for the meeting. Upon the promise, that the other part of the program would not be carried out and that only Mf. Sherrill would be the only speaker, the ban was lifted. When this promise was not respected, the pastor proceeded to firmly intervene with the result above noted. REY, JOHNSON GIVES REASON FOR REFUSAL TO HEAR COX. Richmond, Va., Sept. 11, 1925 To the Editor of Richmond Times Dispatch, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: The article, "Cox Re buffed By Negroes In Meeting Here" appearing on the front page, third column of the Times Dispatch, issue of September 11, 1925, creates an impression that the pastor and congregation of Sharon Baptist Church are alligned with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I wish state in most emphatic terms that neither the pastor nor the Church membership, which totals about four hundred ninety-one, has any connection whatsoever, official or otherwise, with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. the organization for the specific purpose to allow William Sherrill to deliver a lecture. Major Cox was not permitted to speak, not because the officials of the Church desired to rebuff that distinguished gentleman, nor to take exceptions to the doctrines he advocates, but simply because the Committee representing the Universal Improvement Association did not obtain our Church building with the understanding that Major Cox was to speak. Those in charge of the program including Mr. Sherrill, were warned before the beginning of the meeting and promised faithfully that they would not attempt, to use the building for any purpose other than that for which it had been secured. When, therefore, in violation of their promises, an attempt was made to introduce Mr. Cox, the church officials intervened. Hoping that you will publish this letter so that the impression created by the article may be counteracted and hanking you in advance for the consideration. I am Very truly yours. R. H. JOHNSON. Pastor Sharon Baptist Church Richmond, Virginia. You pay as you drive. Mr. R. B. Haynes has automobiles to serve you.

Your Throat Undoubtedly, in our struggle with the invisible enemies of mankind, we have been baffled by the invaders of the breathing-passages more than anywhere else. Here many of the deadliest germs attack. We have practically abolished typhoid; cholera is a thing of the past; small-pox and scarlet fever are yielding; influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis remain myterious and un-conquered. It is known that disease-germs may驻程 for years in a throat that appears healthy, and annoys its owner but little. From this locality they wander to more remote tissues; an overworked joint, an idle gall-bladder, or an irritable kidney is fertile soil for immigrants from a very modest throat-infection. Worst of all however, a diseased throat is more apt to infect the heart-muscle, especially in people past middle-age. I am safe in asserting that, the majority of fatal heart diseases have their real origin in a perfectly curable throat-infection, neglected! Removal of tonsils is too often only a step in the right direction—merely removing the headquarters of the enemy. Millions of bacteria are left behind to continue depressions. The number of "poisoned hearts" from influenza germs is appalling! It is in this field that an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of What better prevention than daily cleanse of upper airways with some harmless antibiotics? The invisible foe can be successfully combatted, only when he is not deeply fortified. To neglect the throat is to court disaster. ```markdown ``` Subscribe to The Richmond Planet.

The 15th Annual Convention of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem is now history. The pleasant memories of this great meeting will linger long in the minds of those, who availed themselves of the opportunity to attend it. The Grand Fold was called to order Tuesday morning, 10 o'clock, at the Third Street M. E. Church, September 1, 1925, with Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Grand Presiding Shepherd of the Order, presiding. The entire session of the Order was replete with wide-awake addresses interspersed with superb music. Mrs. S. A. E. Hicks, of Pittsburg, Pa., was the musical sensation. She was able supported by Mr. Dickie and his chorus, and Mr. Isaiah Carter, who lead the Shepherd's chorus. The first day's session was given over to the seating of the delegation, which was the largest in the history of the Order and delivery of the annual address of the Grand Presiding Shepherd. Never before in the history of the Order was there presented to the delegates an address so full of constructive thoughts, each thought bristling with the most modern and yet same ideas. It was clearly seen that the head of our Order was conversant with the ways and means of building a giant National Organization. The delegates of the convention were unanimous in their opinion that her address was a master-piece and should be read and studied by every member of the race. Eight P. M., Tuesday, found the convention in the midst of welcome exercises. Mr. E. J. Johnson, trustee of the Third Street M. E.

He commended the Order very highly for its good judgment in selecting Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes as its head and pledged to do all in his power by the way of suggesting businesslike and scientific programs, which will be calculated to place the Order among the leaders of the country. The Grand Secretary-Transurer submitted his annual report, which showed that the Organization had made rapid strides under the new administration, more than 3,000 members were added to the Or- der during the past year and 77 Folds organized.

The maid who let me in was stared of a fight she said was going on and she to her team run up. What's the row about?" Sir Dudley made a grab at his dignity "My cousin Miss Glenster has been accusing me of murdering her brother, and this gentleman took her art." he replied "Come, come!" said the inspector soothingly "You are all traveling much too fast and I ain't going to be dragged after you. All I want is for Miss Glenster to verify one or two dates which have been forwarded to the Court by the local police that has not been dropped" said Sir Dudley adjusting his rumped neck wear Picking up his gloves and concertin'd top-hat, the latter having been trodden on in the fray.

Kathleen glanced slyly at her toer "Yes," she said "Captain Slater and I are certainly engaged to be married The day is not fixed, though." Inspector Wraggle blessed the ad mission with a bow. "Now for the real reason for my intrusion Miss Glennier," he said, taking from his pocketbook a photograph of the unfashionable visiting card size, but for the present keeping the picture hidden. "I have been down to Beechwood and made a few inquiries which were not very freely answered, and I hoped that you might supplement the information." "I will tell you all I can." "Your father, Sir Phil's, head gamekeeper, John Grimes, had a pretty daughter?" "Sally. Yes, she was very pretty." Wraggle disclosed the photograph without parting from it. "That is her." he asked suavely. "This is Sally Grimes all right," Kathleen kept without hesitation. "Well now, I am going up any unpleasantness except in your own interest," the detective proceeded. "But did your brother George's Miss Grimes any attention?" "No," laughed Kathleen. "Georges to kid Sally—he had known her Oldest G. A. R.

Wraggie proffered. "Can you name any other admirers who may have been after this young woman?" Kathleen considered, but she could recall no one. The girl had left Beechwood between the dates of George's departure for America and Sir Philip's death. A rumor was prevalent in the village that she was married, but John Grimes and he had never informed it. The inspector expressed his thanks in words that also implied disappointment and took up his bowler hat—that unfailing badge of Scotland Yard. "Don't go just yet, Mr Wragge," she begged. "I had just dismissed another visitor when Sir Dudley arived the gentleman was a Mr Simon Trickey, formerly a clerk in the offices of Conningsby & Glenister when Sir Dudley was on the Stock Exchange. He told me a few things and he has promised to tell me more." MRS TRICKEY AT HOME? HE ASKED "The few things he told you. Miss Glenstein" insinuated Wragge. "Simon Trickey," proceeded Kathleen. "was sent to America to find my brother George some time after he went away and he found him—at Lone Wolf City. Montana. It was little better than a mining camp." "Before we go further," said the inspector thoughtfully, "it would be well to fix things in their proper sequence. How long before your father's death did your brother leave home for America? "Roughly speaking, put it at a year." Kathleen replied. "Did Trickey furnish you with the date of the journey he undertook on Sir Dudley's behaff?" "It was about a month after my father's death." "Humph! It would be natural for the next heir to be curious as to your brother's whereabouts," said Wragge. "When he passed between Trickey's mission and the appearance of the paragraph which put the solicitors on the track?" "So far as I can remember about eight months," Kathleen replied after reflection. "Now, Miss Glenister, we come to a most important factor. Did Trickey tell you what occurred when he discovered Mr., or to be correct, Sir George Glenister. Did he inform him of his father's death and reveal himself as your cousin's emissary?" "According to his own account he did not," Kathleen replied.

In forty-eight hours he had a cabled answer ordering him to return to England forthwith without speaking to my brother He obeyed the order "And that is the sum total of Mr Trickey's disclosures?" "Up to the present," said Kathleen. "But he hinted that he had, in his own words, 'something up his sleeve,' and that he had to consult some one before he could impart it. He gave me his address, 16 Lipscombe Road, Brixton, and asked me to call there tomorrow." Inspector Wragge once more reached for his hat. "Thank you, Miss Glenister." he said. "My time in calling upon you has not been wasted. I will give myself the pleasure again, after you have been to Brixton. You can always get me on the 'phone to Scotland Yard if any thing crops up." With a friendly smile at Norman he bowed himself out of the room and went downstairs and outside. He stood on the curb waiting for a disengaged taxi. One came along presently and the young couple in Lady Marrabies drawing-room would have been surprised at the address he gave the driver—16 Lipscombe Road, Brixton. "With all due respect to Miss Glenister," he muttered as he sat down, "it will be better business if I take Mr Simon Trickey unaware and interview him before she does." The cab stopped at a smartly lace-curtained detached villa in a quiet suburban road. Wragge got out and rang the bell thereby producing in the smart little doorway a smart lit tie maidservant. The domestic surroundings of Mr Simon Trickey were not what the detective had expected after his feeting glimpse of the exclerk in the library at Beechwood Grange "Mr Trickey at home?" he asked. The girl was evidently taken aback by the question, as though it were an unusual one. She began, automatically, to close the door on the visitor "No. he ain't," she said. The master won't be in for hours yet—after midnight, probably. If you're a pal of his you ought to know." "Is Mrs. Trickey in?" Wragge fired a shot at a venture the gap, but her reply was snatched from her mouth by a gorgeous apparition in a yellow silk kimono, who pushed her aside and took her place in the doorway "People don't generally call me by my husband's name," she smirked at the detective "What's the matter with 'Maud Blair' for a moniker? Don't you ever go to the pictures?"

Of course I recognized you at once, but it took my breath away. It is like finding a star of the first magnitude harnessed to a—" For once words failed Mr Wragge, but "Miss Maud Blair" promptly supplied them. He had tickled her vanity. "To a whisky bottle," she laughed merrily. "Now, mister, it isn't any use asking you in to wait for Simon, because he'll probably roll up as full as a tick about one tomorrow morning.

The SKELETON FINGER by Headon Hall © 1925 by NEA Service Inc. Your Birthday Is it this week? September 20—26 If you were born between September 20—26th, all things beautiful appeal to you, until your nautil of analysis and criticism leads you to discover some imaginary defect, which destroys for you the real beauty of the object. Because you can find no happiness in anything that is not absolutely perfect, you worry a great deal about the shortcomings of others. When you realize that nothing in the world is absolutely perfect, you will have overcome one of your greatest obstacles to happiness. You have a keen alert mind. You are intellectual, vivacious, and possess all the qualities which go to make up a singularly bright, ingenious mentality and pleasing personality. Possessing as you do unusually keen intellectual discrimination, you aspire to good and great things, although you sometimes lack the courage in application. It is quite necessary that you carefully study yourself, and analyze your faults, restlessness, inconstancy, inquisitiveness, cunningness, and deceptively as you do those of others. In born under these dates often become lawyers, public speakers and aggressive politicians. Women often gain prominence as poets, musicians, artists, philosophers, and scientists. BEGIN HERE TODAY SIR DUJUDY GLENISTER, suspected of the murder of his cousin, James Glenister, to obtain his title and estate goes into a ruge when-- KATHLEEN GLENISTER, cousin of the dead man, refuses to marry him. She loved-- NORMAN SLATER, who breaks into the room, and engages Sir Dudley in a fight until James Wraggie, Scotland Yard detective, arrives. He obtains some valuable evidence from Kathleen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Thank you. madam, on the whole I think I didn't better not," replied the inspector in a tone of self-negation. "Trickey mightn't like it. Besides, I can find him all right—the old blighter." "So long then." "Miss Blair" retired into the narrow entrance. "Look in any time you're passing." Wragge promised to do so and got into the waiting taxi. And as he drove away he assured himself that he would certainly have to revisit that abode at no distant date. For Mrs. Simon Trickley had not only been revealed as "Maud Blair" the cinema actress, but without any manner场 doubt she was also the original of the photograph which Kathleen Glenister, not an hour ago, had identified as that of Sally Grimes, the daughter of the head gamkeeper at Beechwood Grange. CHAPTER X The Entry in the Case-Book On the evening after his return to Hauley Street Doctor Willoughby Harley Street Doctor Who- by Melville, having finished his solitary dinner, retired to his con- sulting room. Switching on the electros, he un- locked an antique corner cupboard and run his eye over several neatly piled stacks of books in a uniform binding which bespoke them as man- script. Taking down one of the volumes he carried it to a deep-seated easy-chair and began to turn the pages. "About five years ago," he mur- mured. His meeting with Inspector Wragge at the lodge gates of Beechwood Grange on the previous day had struck a chord of memory awakening the liveliest curiosity. He had already become obsessed with the mystery of the skeleton finger, and when he recognized the asetic looking clergyman loitering there as a Scotland Yard officer whom he had treated professionally years before, he at once guessed that he was engaged on the case. Ignoring the clinical disguise, he had given Wregge the surprise of his life by addressing him by name and recalling their old relations as medical adviser and patient. Immediately afterwards he had made amends by assuming that the inspector was on duty there and informing him that a shady-looking individual had just forced himself upon Sir Dudley Glenster. He found the entry—his system of cross-indexing was the last word in method—without any trouble and he settled down to peruse it. His first glance at the length of the entry told him that the state of Inspector Wragge's nerves five years ago had demanded careful attention. He read his own diagnosis of the symptoms with a revived interest that recalled the examination to which he had submitted Mr. Wragge. "James Wragge, Inspector Criminal Investigation Department," the page was headed. "Age 43, height 5 ft. 10 in., weight 12 stone. No traces of organic disease. Appearance and pulse indicate temperate habits." The specialist paused in his reading and in his mind's eye visualized the bogus clergyman whom he had met at the lodge gates of Beechwood Grange. "And if," he reflected, "I had to diagnose Mr. Wragge over again I should probably have to use precisely the same words I used five years ago. He looks as fit as ever, and barring a few gray hairs not a day older. But there was a look of mental strain about his eyes." Melville read on: "When I pressed him for the MISS MAUD BLAIR AD VANCED A TENTATIVE HAND cause of what I was compelled to describe as a nervous breakdown which threatened creeping paralysis, his frank demeanor disappeared. He prevaricated and fenced with my questions till I was obliged to tell him that unless I was informed of the source of worry I could do but little to remove it." Placing his finger between the leaves, the doctor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. The scene in that consulting room, now so long ago, came back to him as though it were yesterday. The hard-bitten detective officer, pressed for the cause of his trouble, had burst into tears, confessing that he had been caught by a high official, holding a minor post in the government of the day accepting a bribe for allowing a defaunting banker to escape from justice. The official accuser, whom Wragge had not named, had consented to hush the matter up, while giving him to understand that it was only... in alienance. If at any future time the delinquent misbehaved himself the old misconduct would be brought up. Melville read on. "Having once broken down Wragges guard. I found it easy to give him immediate relief by sug- gestion and drugs. The most po- tent factor used for his cure was that he had nothing to fear so long as he did not misbehave again." Norman Slater's plea that she should accompany her to Stuart Trickley's house in Brixton. Trickley was evidently a drunk den reprobate, formidable possibly a crafty rascal where money concerned, but not the sort of ruin who would use methods of violence. So it was that Kathleen drove Brixton without escort, to be down in front of the garish little girl in the middle of the afternoon. Taking the taxi-driver to wait, she bell and was admitted by a smart maid without the opposed encountered by Wragg on the previous day. She was shown into tawdry sitting-room to the right, the narrow entrance passage and was not until the servant had the door on her that she asked the fact that she had neither asked nor given her name The fumes of a strong acid and assailed her nostrils on entering the house, and she concluded that Mr. Trickley had observed her arrival from the room on the other side of the passage and that he would join her presently. She only hoped that he would be sober. But five minutes passed and neither drunk nor sober, delilah Simon Trickley or anyone else appeared. Another five minutes passed and the door opened to admit the tinted lady who and her daughter Wraggie from the doorstep the previous day. Recognition was mutual and instantaneous. "Sally Grimes" animated Katie leen. "Miss Maud Blair" advanced, a tentative hand ready, but dropped when no responsive sign of it being greased was shown. "Do sit down, Miss Glenneter," she simmered. "My husband told me was expecting a lady on business, but who would have dreamed that it would be you!" Bewildered, and with a sense physical nausea she could not account for. Kathleen sank into a gaudy, plush-covered chair. "Mr. Trickey is your husband," she gaped. "Yes. I am quite an old married woman," was the giggled reply "Though I daresay they have an other tale to tell of me at Beechwood, Miss Glenister." Kathleen ignored the beech suggestion. "Nothing but the local gossip that you were married reached me," she replied coldly "I have not been much at Beechwood lately." "But you were there when the crow flew over the shooting lunch the lady of the house insulated slowly. "That is a matter I cannot discuss with you," said Kathleen. "Is likely to be long before I can set your husband?" "He will be in directly. I left him in the dining room with—with a man who's rather difficult to get rid of. You don't show much interest, Miss Glenister, in my present circumstances. You would be surprised to hear that I am the chief breadwinner in this humble abode—Miss Maud Blair, if you please, of the films." Kathleen had the haziest idea of what the woman was talking about but she made a few polite inquiries which more than enlightened her as to the nature of "Miss Blair's" occupation and the fame she had well thereby. And then a sudden intuition told her that her hostess was not only talking from vanity but to gain time—and that all the time she was listening intently. Kathleen listened, too, and she we almost instantly rewarded by two sounds in quick succession. The first was the swish of a silk petticoat in the passage and the second was the furtive opening and shutting of the front door. Kathleen was sitting too far back in the room to obtain a full view of the person leaving the house, but she caught a glimpse of a purple aligrette—a singular ornament worn by "the man" with whom, according to his wife, Mr. Simon Trickey, had been engaged on the other side of the passage.

NEGRO REPUBLICANS WILL CONTINUE FIGHT AGAINST LILY-WHITE ORGANIZA- TION Negro Republicans of Virginia yesterday decided to hold a state convention and oppose every nominee of the Roanoke Republican convention who "denies to the Negro Republican full participation in the affairs of the party in this state. This decision was reached at a meeting held at Bay Shore, the following report of which was made public this morning by the chairman and secretary: Responding to a call from Joseph R. Pollard, state chairman of the Republican party, as represented by an organization of colored voters which originated about six years ago in Virginia, a large and representative delegation of colored men and women met at Bay Shore yesterday from all over the State, to consider what steps to take with reference to the action of the Roanoke Convention in putting a ticket in the field against the Democratic nominees. Promptly at three o'clock, J. Thos. Newsome, an avowed enemy of the Lily Whites, read the call, and Dr. P. A. Scott, District Chairman, took the chair. W. E. Mason, of Newport News, was elected chairman, and Dr. S. J. Smith, representing Warwick county, and John A. Coffigan, of Cape Charles, representing the Eastern Shore, were named in the place of deceased members of the committee. The object of the meeting was clearly stated by D. R. Walker, of Newport News, and then it was voted to keep up the organization of the colored Republicans, and to call a state convention later, at which it would be decided that action should be taken in the present situation. It was the consensus of opinion that the colored voters of Virginia should act as a unit, and that no quarters should be shown to any nominee of the Roanoke Convention, who denies to the Negro Republican full participation in the affairs of the party in this state. A resolution also passed endorsing Joseph R. Pollard state chairman for national committeeman from Virginia. With Dr. W. E. Atkins, chairman and W. R. Walker, secretary, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions of respect in honor of the late Dr. W. E. Atkins, national committeeman from Georgia. These resolutions will be drawn this afternoon at the office of Dr. W. E. Atkins, in Hampton. Dr. L. A. Fowlkes was introduced to state the object of the colored Republican movement, and drew great applause as he stated that it was the purpose of the Negro, from now on, to protect, in season and out, against the subversion of the principles of the Republican party to the selfish ends of the so-called Lily Whites. To the same effect were remarks by Wesley Rainey, Dr. J. J. Jones and Lawyer Robinson, of Hampton. On the motion of J. Thomas Newsome, a vote of thanks was extended to Dr. P. A. Scott for his effort on behalf of the colored members of the Republican party. A large number of colored women were present, and it was suggested that when Dr. P. A. Scott names the ten delegates to the state convention, that at least three of them shall be women. The spacious pavilion of Bay Shore hotel has been put at the service of the state convention, without cost, the management agreeing to furnish music for the occasion. This tender was made through Dr. Lattimore, of Hampton, Va. P. A. SCOTT, Chairman. W. E. MASON, Secretary.

ZION (Continued from Page 1) observed, Sunday afternoon with the brilliant pastor, Rev. A. W. Brown in charge. During all of this display he appeared to be the most unconcerned person in the whole church edifice, but those, who know him could observe the look of satisfaction over the culmination of his labors, which will not be finally ended, and he relieved from the strain of this great undertaking until the last dollar is paid on this surprising venture. REV. PAYNE THERE. TOO. Rev. Evans Payne, the dean of the Baptist clergy of this city and one of the most powerful divines in the State preached Sunday might greatly to his own satisfaction and to the gratification of all who heard him. He is as vigorous and as emphatic in the pulpit today as he was twenty years ago. Some people of the city incline to the opinion that he is improving along the oratorical lines and that his bodily infirmities neither affect his vocal organs nor his mental ability. He wears the title of Doctor of Divinity with becoming modesty, which is expressing it mildly for the Church-Hill divine. A REMARKABLE CHURCH LEADER. Rev. A. W. Brown has been a marvel and a wonder ever since he came to this city from the State of South Carolina. He has gone from one degree of success to another. He has fited in smugly as the pastor of this celebrated church and at no time is there room to spare during his periods of fervid oratory, which have become known from one section of the city to another. His analysis of his text, the simplicity of his manner, his devoutness in private life and his championship of right and right living over wrong and wrong-doing have won a place in the hearts of the people here second only to that of the celebrated Rev. John Jasper, whose place he now fils. A UNIFIED CONGREGATION. The congregation is one unified whole and the factional spirit once predominant in the church has disappeared and its sincere friends hope that it will never return. The improvement in this neighborhood is now apparent to any observer. The exercises will continue not only all of this week, but will extend through the week following. Even Rev. Randolph V. Peyton, D. D., the former pastor, who was the idol of these people, came last Wednesday night, to take part in the exercises. Rev. A. W. Brown has been complimented and praised and while he ascribes the work to God, the people recognise the fact that he was particularly the chosen instrument of the Most High U-DRIVE TAXI CO. 403 N.

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 last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".

A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH PEACE TERMS—750 Pages I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. 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 bed and walk across the floor, only two bottles of the medicine made me a perfectly well man 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 Medicine. So 21 years ago I received Herb Medicine, Va. I command Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the gren earth. Respectfully, J. D. TAYLOR 2419 Grace St. Richmond Va.
