AY 17,1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR THE RICHMOND PLANET ```markdown ``` VOLUME XLIII, NO. 8 H MAN AND WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH A Gruesome Tragedy on Laurel Road—Bodies Burned to a Crisp. Christmas Revelry Turned into Mourning. Two murdered bodies burnt to a crisp were in an underwaker's basket in the A. D. Price morgue Christmas night as a result of a telephone call sent to that funeral director. A fire on the Laurel Road, a short distance from Garden City, where Attorney J. C. Robertson resides destroyed a one-story frame structure with six rooms and aft Mrs. Lucy A. Chester and her seven children homeless. It was after twelve o'clock in the day when the front part of the house was found to be in a light blaze. The inmates got out and two of the girls dragged out a trunk in the hal way. A BOARDER THERE. . . Practically everything else was destroyed, Edward Green, a boarder, who has relatives in this city on Brookland Street, Mrs. Laura Spurlock being one of them, was missing. He is 33 years of age. Marie Chester, a daughter, 36 years of age was not accounted for and later both of the bodies were found in the burned structure. It is reported, that Marie was found in the bed and Edward Green was found beneath the kitchen stove. Some of the people at the house celebrating Christmas are said to have been drinking. John Orange, 50 years of age is said to have been one of these. SMALL INSURANCE He is reported to have been so disagreeable that he was put out of the house and later was arrested by the county authorities upon the nominal charge of being suspected of having caused the conflagration. There was a small insurance on the house. It is not thought that either of the unfortunate people carried any insurance. The family is in a destitute condition. Mrs. Chester has lived at this spot for nearly half a century. R. E. JONES, JR. BURJED HERE DIED—Robert Emmett Jones, Jr., at Freedmen's Hospital, Washington D. C. Wednesday night, December 23rd 1925, after a brief illness. His remains were brought to this city and the funeral took place from R. G. Scott's funeral parlor, 19 West Clay Street. He leaves a father, four brothers, to mourn their loss. His father, the well-known Dr. R. Emmett Jones of Philadelphia and Thurlow E. Jones, of New York attended the funeral. His other brothers, Dr. William W. Jones, Madison M. and Charles E. Jones, attended the services.

This is the reply of Comptroller General J. Raymond M. Carl to those who criticize him for insisting that it shall be run, so far as spending is concerned, only as Congress says. They say he is picayunish, dictatorial and not a good fellow. He certainly is the stubbornest and most literal watchdog the treasury ever had. The act creating his office said he should "settle and adjust all claims against the United States." This means that without his office, money shall not be taken from the treasury. It makes him the nearest to an unlimited monarch in American history. Those who want money spent contrary to his rulings may do three things. May Wait 10 Years They may go to court, but so far not one cent has been paid out by the court. They are not held in these cases. Or they may obtain a net of Congress specifically authorize A. ing the payment—just have a bill passed, that's all. Or they may wait until July 1, 1924, when Me.

Just now his office is auditing claims of the Sioux Indians under old treaties for a total of $222,000,000 with interest on portions since 1855. "I really don't have much fun out of this job," McCarr admits. "I think sometimes it should be given to a sour old grouch, who would enjoy contradicting people. The one on this job can't be a yes man." He must keep our tempers a constant task in this office. No matter how exasperated claimans may get or how they rail at us, it still is our business to give them exactly what they are entitled to and no less. Upholding Control "If there's any satisfaction in this office, it is not in being what they call a caer," says McCarr. "It is in performing an actual and greatly needed service to this country. "It is in upholding the control of Congress over exp.-induities as the constitution intends. The depredation of resources are not made by choke and hives, with perfectly good intentions who just carelessly and affably let questionable things slip by." THE RIGHMOND PLANET.

AUSTIN, at one time in charge of a church at Staunton, Va. has decided to leave the noted Ebenezer Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa. and accept the call to the pastorate of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, at Chicago. We presume that he is acting in accordance with Divine guidance and we wish him well in his new field of labor. WE WERE NOT at all surprised when we learned that WALTER L. COHEN, Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans had been acquitted of the conspiracy charge made against him at New Orleans. Knowing him as we do, we instinctively came to the conclusion from the first that "an enemy hath done this thing". He has our congratulations. THE DEATH of JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL, Sunday night, December 20th, 1925, in Washington, D. C. removes from public life one of the most remarkable men our race has ever produced. He was well-known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to the Gulf. His charming personality stood him well with all classes. He understood men and women and could by his presence make friends with them. His brilliant widow and other members of his family have our sympathy. MILITARY MEN, who are properly trained, talk but little. This is true, both of GENERAL PERSHING and GENERAL LEONARD WOOD. Practically all of the great military characters in history possessed this trait. Not so with GENERAL SMEDLEY D. BUTLER of Philadelphia fame. He talked when he went into office, admitted that his campaign against the rum-titers and bootleggers had not been entirely successful and then talked when MAYOR KENDRICK relieved him of office. The thoughtful public realizes that in returning to California, ne is going where he should have been all of the time. It was P. T. BARNUM who said, "The American people like to be humbugged". The original "loaning" of GENERAL BUTLER to the city of Philadelphia, was, in our opinion one of the most flagrant pieces of humbuggery ever perpetrated upon an American municipality. DR. W. F GRAHAM'S HOLIDAY GREETINGS. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 29, 1925. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor, The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. My dear Brother Mitchell: The other week, unsolicited you gave a splendid publication, with my cut, of my fourteen years work in Philadelphia. While I thank you very much for it, I cannot let the Old Year pass without sending a little token of my respect, so I am enjoying my check for ten dollars. Trusting that you may have much success in the New Year, I am, Respectfully yours. Richmond, Va., Dec. 21, 1925. Hon. John Mitchel*, Jr. Placer Editor, City Dear Lord, I am taking advantage of your reduced offer, for a year's subscription to The Planet and the Negro history of the late war. To insure that no negro home is compelled without the possession of this book that gives the eager participation as back men in a carriage which they thought would render a suitable democracy for all after the conflict. Hoping to receive The Planet regularly and the History shortly, I remain. Yours gratefully, JAMES A. CHILES. It was reported that on Christmas Eve, Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. had five bodies in his morgue and six others on stretcher. William T. Staples came down from Washington to spend the holidays here. Dr. William H. Hughes, who has been indisposed has resumed his practice. The Sharon Baptist Church has installed chimes in their organ and the services are impressive. This is the only colored church here to be heated by the steam-gas system. Rev. R. H. Johnson is pastor. A substantial donation was given to Rev. A. S. Thomas D. D., former pastor of the Sharon Baptist Church, collections being lifted in the churches for that purpose. Mrs. Evlyn Bowler Harris, of New York, spent the holidays here with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. Andrew Bowler. We thank Mr. James E.

The bricklayers have had to ay off during the inclement weather. The Christmas holidays here were unusually quiet. There was practically no evidence of either drunkenness or disorder. Mrs. Artenia Miller continues indisposed. Some days she is in good condition and some others she is nervous and indisposed. Dr. and Mrs. D. A. Ferguson have their children home during the holidays. People die at all times of the year. That is why Funera, Director A. D. Price, Jr. has not been able to take any vacation. You will find him answering day or night calls and he carries a stock that will please the most fastidious. A phone call any time of the day or night is promptly answered. He served W. P.

REUBEN CARTER DIES IN NEW KENT COUNTY. ROXBURY, VA., December 25—Reuben C. Carter, a well-known and one of the oldest citizens of New Kent County, passed away December 18, at his home. He suffered a slight stroke one week after his daughter's death. The second stroke came, which affected him slightly, then a week later the third, from which he never recovered. The furera was conducted Sunday from the home by Rev. M. M. Fisher and Rev. T. B. Banks. Both minis ters spoke feelingly on the life and character of the deceased. The floral designs were numerous. One was sent by Traffic Bureau of Police De partment of N. Y. C., of which his son, Reuben, Jr. is a member. His five sons and two daughters came on from New York City to the funeral. Six of the sons were pallbeagers. They bore the body tenderly from the house to the cemetery, where they lowered it in the ground. He served his day and generation well, then he fell asleep. The family thanks their many friends for kindness shown during his illness. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Theodore Liawood Taylor, a senior in Howard University Law School and a citizen of Petersburg, Va. was successful in passing the bar of the Old Dominion State at the last examination, which was held this month in Richmond, Va. Mr. Taylor is one of the most popular and widely known students of Howard University. He is known and called "Ted" Taylor by his friends. When the news reached Mr. Taylor that he was one of the few successful ones, he was standing in the midst of a host of his college chums who gave him sundry yells and glad hands of congratulation. His reply was, "Boys, I thank you, but this ovation is due my mother and dad, who gave him sundry yells and glad for my apparent success." "One of Ted's intimate friends, as he is called, stated to the writer as follows: "Ted is one of the best fellows I've ever met. I feel sure that no student who knows him, would take itself with me on this point. I say this because he is versatile, he man adapt himself to most any existing condition. Above a, he is a very dear friend to us, college men and again he is a wonderful mixer. Every one who knows Ted predicts a great future and successful career for him as he has the natural ability if a successful practitioner, also a pleasing personality which is indispensable in the practice of the legal profession." Attorney Taylor in an interview with the writer, stated that he had not made any definite arrangements as to where he would locate. He also said that he is considering several good offers which he has received since passing the bar. But above all he will continue school until June, when he will receive his Bachelor's degree in law. Medicine and Toilet Goods. Agents Sell Our Fine Big Line. Pay When Sold. Big Profits.

The blower is of deep crue lace and the skirt is circular. This season has been one of the most prosperous that the local High School has seen. Under the leadership of Captain Adams and the tutelage of Coach W. A. Hall, the team put on the gridron threatened to be the State champions, having kept every one from scoring until they met their old time Petersburg rivals, Peabody. They won recognition when they thrashed the I. P. B. A., who boasted of not losing a game during their three year career. The tads put on the field, the lightest team in the State, which looked very discouraging. But they proved to be one of the fastest in the State, and in the opinion of many of authority, were the fastest. Many of the boys were new, and young, many of whom made a good and surprising showing. Chief and outstanding among them were; their trusty left end, Bowers, whose long pants, and end runs were a valuable asset to the team; Christmas, their quarter back; Bowler, halfback, who featured in the end runs, and last, their 14-year old hundred and twenty nine pound right end, King, who proved to be one of the best tacklers on the team Their first game which was away from home, was with the last years champions, Huntington, of Newport News. The local youths held the sea elders to a score's tie, playing the entire first head in Huntington's territory. Their second game in Hampton, was with the heavy Union High School team. The game was played in a driving wind and a steady down pour of rain, which greatly hindered both backfires. The game terminated much like the previous one, 0-0. Then coming home they won recognition from the jeering local fans by totally outclassing and defeating the heretofore undefeated P E. A's, who looked upon the lads' cha lenge as a joke. However they changed their tune greatly when Melvin Johnson crossed the goal line for a touchdown. Score: 6-0 in favor of Armstrong. They completely overwhelmed the overweighted Norcum team and gave the spectators the best game played on Hovey Field this year the following week. It was Bowers, who dashed over the goal for the first touchdown and then kicked goal in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Melvin Johnson ran fifteen yards to goal making the score 13-0 in favor of Armstrong. Then came the game with Peabody. The local lads played the first half like maid and seemed to be able to make five downs at will, losing the ball a foot from goal, thru crossed signals. In the third quarter Petersburg made the lone touchdown of the game, which ended 6-0 in favor of Peabody. WANTED—A SETTLED PERSON, as a COOK. Light Work; Good Home and Surroundings.

D., Chicago- COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES. THROUGHOUT THE LABOR UNREST in the Negro labor world of the past year, it has been noted that among disgruntled gatherings of "semi-reds" and "nearCommunists" there have been ever present a significant number of delegates who at one time at east, were members of, or bore close relations with, the American Federation of Labor, the organized labor machine of the late and lamented Samuel Gompers. Among each "deserters" there have been found, in several instances high representatives of the United Mine Workers, the longhoremen, freight handlers etc., who, at one time joined the A. F. of L., full of enthusiasm and with a small financial surplus with which to pay their dues into the parent organization. However, the A. F. of L., while passing resolutions and making proclamation of welcome to Negre labor has permitted discriminations to creep in against the colored man. Where it has offered him protection on her frequently he has found himself without protection, wages, or work. In these respects white organized labor has gone backward from its gern stand for the black man, when Terence V. Powderly first started the Knights of Labor, the parent of the present A. F. of L. Work is too precious a necessity to be kicked around by petty prejudice. What differene does it make whether red bricks are laid by white or black bricklayers? And if a man is enticed to pay for the benefits of organization, why should they be denied to him in the open fields of labor? The American Federation of Labor can but quite a crimp in the so-called "red", I. W. W. and Communistic movements, so far as the black man is concerned if it will practice and live up to the proclamation it makes every year at Atlantic City. Otherwise, it ought to change its name and cease its half-hearted attempt to make the colored man believe that it wants his membership and cooperation. There's still some time left for President Green and his officialty to take their white labor hosts in hand and make them understand that it's high time for the A. F. of L. to take on all the virtues of American organization and work equality, without any secret chamber or implied reservations as to the black man.

These two publications are brought out by the Research Department of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which the author found ed ten years ago and has directed up to the present time. The aim of this work is to facilitate the further study of this neglected group. Most of the people of this country have forgot that about half a million, almost one-seventh of the Negroes in this country, were free prior to the emancipation in 1865. These were leaders of this deceived case, toiling up sometimes against the tooth of opposition into positions of ease and culture. Many were prosperous farmers and efficient mechanics. A few of them were printers, editors, teachers, ministers, physicians and lawyers prior to the Civil War. The statistics' report on Free Negro Heads of Families is introduced by valuable discussion of the free Negro from various points of view. He thereby easily discusses origin of the free Negro the prevention of the increase of this class, the free Negro before the law, economic achievement and social distinctions. Probably the most interesting part of the treaty is the enactment of early race adjustment as the origin of the free Negro. This study is well documented by references to incontrovertible sources which insure conidence in the national production and enhance the value of the work. The facts of the statistics part of the work were assembled from the manuscript scholars returned, by those who took the census of the United States 1830. After the Editor had first coded the record of one State to acquaint himself in detail with the information given in these census reports, the statistics were then copied under his direction by three persons. The matter thus collected was then verified by the Editor and one of his assistants. Accompanying tables give the names of about 60,000 heads of families, showing in each case the district, the county and State in which each lived. In some cases, even the streets of the cities on which some resided are given. There appear also the approximate age of the head of the family and the total number of persons in the family including the slaves. Some one has suffered to this as a variable blue book on the Negro aristocracy of a tertiary. The study of Free Negro Owners of Slaves is of unusual interest because of the opportunity it offers for understanding the Negro himself. The records show, however, that the Negro owners of slaves were such largely from the point of view of the anthropy. In many instances the husband purchased the wife or the vows. The slaves belonging to them were few compared with the large numbers found among the whites, on the well-developed plantations. Saves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife. If he had hippothette amenable the mother as so many such husbands could not do without becoming separatist from them. Their own children were born his slaves and were thus renounced by the ennumerators. Some of these husbands were not anxious to liberate their wives immediately. They considered it advisable to put them on probation for a few years, and if they did not find them satisfactory they would sell their wives as other slaveholders disposed of Negroes. For example, a Negro shoemaker in Charleston, South Carolina, purchased his wife for $700; but, on finding her hard to please he sold her a few months thereafter for $750, gaining $50 by the transaction. Benevolent Negroes often purchased slaves to make their lot easier by granting them their freedom for a nominal sum, or by permitting them to work it out on liberal terms. John Barry Meachum, a Negro Baptist minister of St. Louis, thus came into possession of as many as twenty slaves by 1836. The exploitation type of Negro M slaveholder, moreover, sometimes feeling the sting of conscience, liberated his slaves. Thus did Samuel Gibson, a Negro of Mississippi, in 1844, when he brought his six slaves to Cincinnati. Ohio and settled them on free territory. Having economic interests in common with the white slaveholders, the Negro owners of slaves often en- THE RICHMOND PLAZA, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Joyed the same social situation. It was not exceptional for them to attend the same church, to educate their children in the same private school, and to frequent the same places of amusement. Under such circumstances miscommunication easily followed. While those taking the census of 1830 did not generally record such facts, the few who did, as in the case of Nansomond County, Virginia, reported a situation which today would be considered alarming. In this particular county there appeared among the slaveholders free Negroes designated as Jacob of Read and white wife and Syphpe of Matthews and white wife. Others reported with white wives were not slave-holders. FULTON NOTES All of the Churches of Fulton invite you to be present tomorrow. New Year sermons will be delivered by the Pastors.
