SATURDAY, FEB. 7, 1926 PRICE, FIVE CENTS. 2nd Baptist Church Postpones Action Rev. Dr. Lewis' Letter to be Acted Upon at Next Meeting—Deacon Board Votes to Let Matter Drop. Pastor Himself Makes Report to Church. The publication concerning the conditional resignation of the able divine and scholarly pulpit orator, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D. pastor of the Second Baptist Church started something of a sensation in this city. Rev. Dr. Lewis announced that his telephone had been ringing from anxious members, who wished to find out if the report was true. A careful consideration of all of the facts developed the fact that The Planet's report was accurate and the source of the information was the question presenting itself to the officers of the Second Baptist Church. THE LETTER RECEIVED: MAY MOVE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH UPTOWN THE PROPOSITION CONFRONTING FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. The Deacon Board met on Sunday morning and received the letter from Rev. Dr. Lewis, in which he agreed to retire if the Second Baptist Church would pay him $109.00 per month. He would be pastor-meritus with some other minister in active charge of the church. The Deacon Board voted unanimously to comply with his requirement. Upon his appearing before that body with other stipulations, it was decided to drop the matter. BEFORE THE CHURCH. In the meeting last Monday night, no recommendation came from the Deacons and Rev. Dr. Lewis brought the matter before the Church himself. It was decided to postpone the consideration of the matter until next month, with the understanding that the purpose of the meeting be announced three times before that time from the pulpit. Editor John Mitchell, Jr. has been consulted by certain members of the Second Baptist Church and he informed them that his information did not come from any member of the Deacon Board. The Deacon Board and its members disclaim any purpose to do (Continued on page 4) HON. H. F. BYRD GOVERNOR OF VA.

Crowds thronged the Capitol Square in front of the south portico of the building. His inauguration address was terse, emphatic and carried in it the mention of drastic reforms. The impression made was that he is confidently trying to revolutionize training conditions and to benefit the state. TOWNES—SMITH Mr. Nannie S.

MAY MOVE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH UPTOWN THE PROPOSITION CONFRONTING FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. The First Baptist Church under the leadership of the eloquent Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. is contemplating radical improvements. A special meeting will take place this month to consider the same. It is proposed that a parsonage be provided for the pastor and that more space be provided for the carrying on of Sunday School work. It is suggested that the property adjoining the church be purchased, unless the membership decides to move the First Baptist Church uptown. This question will be decided at an early date by a vote of the church. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS The question of the election of 15 deaconesses will also be considered. Other improvements will be considered. A drive for Christian progress is also to be made. The question of removing the church uptown will in all probability transcend all others. It is an alternative proposition of the pastor and there is little doubt, but what it meets his favor. The church is in a prosperous condition and several rallies have netted comfortable sums.

Up to the present time it seems that the laws of the State recognize three races of people, the Caucasian, the Negro and the In- dian, The Department of Vital Sta- tistics, which is a State department, seems to bq in a position to prove that there no longer exists in Vir- yinia any full blooded Indians. hence if this be true, there is no Jonger any need for a ‘third c‘assifi- eation in this Stata _What was formerly an Indian is nvw somebody wise becuuse of intermarriage. A DELICATE PBFINITION. The Ractai antogrity All is tn tended to define who this Indian is, whether he is white, or whether he is colored. The burden of proof seems to rest upon the Department of Vital Statistics, which has made the charge:that many persons fu the State who class themselves as In- dians have Negro b.ocod in_ their veins, and under tho bill which 1t advocates, thes persons are co ored, or would be classified as colored, ‘THE REASON GIVEN: The same.department makes the assertion that these so-called, Indiaus classify themselves as Indians, be- cause it gives them the advantago of better sacial conditiong, it ex- empts them from ‘taxes. and also exempts them from military and naval service in case of war. A delegation of these so-called Indians whooped down upon the Capitol building for the purpose of denying the change, and at the same time defqnding thelr racial Integrity, AN ABLQ SPOKESMAN, "They cowld got have selected a better spokesman than they did, namely, Chiet Cook, of the Paman- key tribe, man hes the feat- ures: of & , the complexion of a Negroand the hatr of a mixed breed. He spoke to his audience for twenty minutes and, in fact, until he had become exhausted, I have never in all my life heard a more pathetic appeal to save a race from utter qxterminaion, than the p'ea that came from this man's lips He charged that the pale face had taken everything from the Indian except his racial name, and he begged that this at least be left to him until he coud, meet with Powhatan and tho other brayes who had precedeq him to the Happy Hunting Ground ahove BECAME EXHAUSTED. When he hid finished, he leaned upon the desk nearest him, exhaust- ed and overcome by his own olo- queneé. His friends rushed, to him and laid him down upon a couch, while the whole house applaudeg him as they wou!d a hero. Here comes the sad commentary, White men came upon the scene in opposition to the bill, and likewise in defense of thq Isdian., All of these men were ubt necessarily leg- islators. Some were interested par- ties appearing before the committee in behalt of the Indian. INSULTING REFERONCES. .. In the discussion I heard my race referred, to as Negro, and then again by the same speaker as njgger. 1 heard them praise the Indian, and speak in a derogatory manner of the Negro. One wnite man, whom I think is a merchant. said that. He did not believe there was any Negro blood in the Virginia Indians be- cause the Indians hated, the Negro worse than they did the devil. AGAINST THE NEGRO. Another white man with shaggy hair and dark comp‘exion, styling himself a preacher,. got the atten- tion of the chairman of the, meeting and jt was he who said, “Mr. Chairman, these Indians, whose ra- dial intogrity ts questioned. admit incermarr'age with white people, but they resent the idea of being cltss- ified with dirty Negroes,” 1 noticed that when he made this statement, his: haiy bristled, his hand, clinched, ami he spoke in 4 menacing manner A NEEDLESS INSULT. ‘The pity of it ai) te that while st is true that Chie? Cook denied that there was any Negro blood in any member of his tribe, it was left to Virginia white men, (our, so-called best friends) to villify a race of peop’e, who took no part in the proceedings. iad no friend at court, and did not oppose the passage of the ponding bilt, A QUESTION OF CLEANLINESS Why any white man in Vifginiia showld so shamefully vilMty our race fag to cal us “dirty Negroes” Is more than Iean understand, To. compara our cleanliness or ‘our dirt with that of the Indian is simply astound OEE oe ike Ug mg ny hy ne iia» Hil rt | 7 Se INS Nf : ; = SSS INOUSTAY SES = | | CPB — — ea iis: : = ing.

William Isaac Johnson Sons, funeral directors, had charge of the remains of Mrs. Lula Hughes and had interred the body in Woodland Cemetery. The Chesapeake and Ohio track at Magnolia Avenue was crossed in safety going. On returning, Fred Goodman attempted to get across the track ahead of the freight train. He cleared the track, but not enough to keep the locomotive from striking the rear spring and the spare tire on the back KILLED INSTANTLY. This knocked the body of the Cadillac from the chassis, completely turning the car around and throwing the occupants through glass windows. The unfortunate woman was thrown against the post of the electric signal and instantly killed. Goodman was arrested upon a charge of involuntary manslaughter. The inquest will be held in the City Hall this morning. The accident occurred Wednesday, February 3rd, about 5 P. M.

Subscribe to The Planet Night Coughing Quickly Stopped New Way Simple But Very Effective Night coughing, with its distressing loss of sleep and dangerous sapping of strength and vitality, can now be almost instantly checked through a simple but wonderfully effective treatment that is economical, too. This treatment is based on the famous prescription known as Dr.King's New Discovery for Coughs. For astonishing relief make this test tonight before retiring—Simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in the throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of night coughing. So with the cause removed, coughing stops quickly and you sleep the whole night through. The Dr. King's New Discovery prescription is for coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups — no harmful drugs. At all good druggists. Ask for DR. KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS For Cold in the Chest! Avoid Serious Trouble and get relief over night A cold in your chest is generally a deep-seated cold. It should be checked as promptly as possible before it leads to serious and painful results. Thousands of people have learned that the prompt use of one of Johnson's Belladonna Plasters—placed right on the chest—gives quick relief, and that this remedy often checks a cold over night. This famous plaster gives your skin a soothing and comforting feeling of warmth and the medicines in it help to quiet the pain as well as to get rid of that stuffed up condition. Some medicines that you swallow may upset your stomach. Johnson's Belladonna Plasters apply the medicine on the outside of your body and are harmless.

Congress is puzzled by surplus farm products production. Some rockless bolsevilks, or at least socialists, suggest that the Government might interest itself in helping farmers market their surplus abroad. Charles Williams, who ought to know something about conservation, says: "No; that problem should be left to farmers without government help." A two-month-old baby might be left to put on his own little undershirt "without mommer's help." The farmers would be as well able to deal with foreign governments, under our Constitution, or with foreign problems, as a baby would be to deal with its own nourishment and clothing. To learn how farmers can be helped and surplus products sold at a profit, they might find out what the British do with their surplus rubber products. There is a rubber farm surplus. And you notice that they manage to sell it to the United States at about a dollar a pound, when it could be sold profitably at thirty cents a pound. A government that wants to do a thing can do it. The railroad trainmen, hundreds of thousands of faithful workers, ask for better pay, and ought to get it. Our Mary I Envy You "The simpler things are after all the real things of life. Neither the compliments of the multitude, the honors of high places nor the pleasures that money buys can compensate for the simple joys of a happy family, a smile from a loved one or an honest friend's handclasp." Chary Pickett Fright or Guilt? AVIOCASTER David L. Marshall, Philadelphia Chiropractor, confessed dismembering the body of Miss Dietrich, whom he claims took poison because of a blasted romance—and died in his office. Through fright, he says, he tried to do away with the body. Railroads, protected by government, enjoy prosperity. Steadily increasing, they should divide prosperity with the men that do the work through the nights in cold and rain, when those that collect dividends are asleep. All Americans, especially business men and business makers, should demand that good workmen get their fair share of national prosperity. The rich man can get only his share of what the average man has to spend. Government figures show that from 1920 to 1924, "automobiles killed 60,876 men, women and children." And in 1924 the "death roll" numbered 15, 528. Calculated to give the false and damaging impression that the automobile in itself is a dangerous, deadly demon, these figures are NOT true to fact. Of the sixty-odd thousand killed in five years some were the victims of stupid, reckless or drunken drivers, some of incompetents. The greater number killed were victims of their own carelessness, commonly described as "jay-walking." When a man on the railroad track is killed, nobody blames the locomotive or suggests suppressing railroads. The signs read, "Stop, look and listen," and "Keep off the tracks." The Colorado River, put to work and used, will add hundreds of millions yearly to the wealth of the United States. It will supply several Western States with more than a million horsepower, and irrigation sufficient to provide food for tens of millions of human beings. The real wealth and future happiness of this country will gain from this single project of science and constructive statesmanship more benefit than it would from finding gold mines unlimited. John Hulbert killed 140 human beings, his total profit on the killings being $18,200. His line is not that of the ordinary holdup man for he is Sing Sing's public executioner, and each time he straps a man into the chair, the State pays $130. It seems easy, $130 for work that lasts half an hour. But killing causes strain on the nerves, so Mr. Hulbert retires. Some one else can have the $130 job. fordz 'Eavens 'Elp Us!' AUTOCASTER Well, it's here—beauty contests for men—and poor Allen F. Maybee, Columbia College Senior—had to go and win first prize as the 'Andsomest Man'. He was so embarrassed that he went into seclusion—and says he will succeed at law in spite of all this. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should! Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. DOCTORING YOURSELF. I cannot think of anything that is a greater menace to your physical welfare, than the hour when you attempt to diagnose your own disease, and set out to buy a ready-made cure for it. You could hardly assume a task that is fraught with greater danger. There is little of "magic" in common sense. A human being who does not know how to keep from getting sick, is a mighty poor proposition to take care of his own, aliments when he does get sick. Yet there are dozens of people in most communities, who attempt to cure themselves upon that hypothesis, that they know is wrong when they exercise reason. The profession of medicine is an honorable one, however unscuprulous some of its adherents may be. There are pirates on all seas where easy victims are afloat; and the most villianous is the buccaneer who preys on the sick and afflicted, under the disguise of respectability. And, there are people who are ever ready to sing the praises of "curealls" and furnish their photographs to clinch the evidence. Is that any valid reason why the stuff is good for you? Most any kind of testimony can be bought for the price these days, from the people who sell them. A good thing to remember is, that every ache or pain has a definite cause beneath it. And, unless you know what this cause is, and exactly how to remove it, you had better leave treatment to somebody who does know. Even a good physician when he is sick, and his judgment likely to be erroneous, will call his neighbor physician to help him out. No good doctor will trust his health or that of his family to the mercies of the exploiter of the bottled nostrum. He knows the value of prudence in the vital matter of caring for the sick.

BEGIN HERE TODAY NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY So often they had talked of the future, and what they would do when their men came home from France, and now all Nan's dreams had been shattered, and she was left alone in an unsympathetic world where even her one friend had failed her. She put the little bundle of letters returned to her by Arnott, away in a drawer and locked them there. She tried to forget that Arnott had suggested that she should go down to his sister, but the thought kept coming to her mind again and again. What shouldn't she go? What harm would she be doing to anybody? At least if she went she would see Peter every day. She would hear his voice and speak to him, whereas if she stayed away— Jean came to the door. "Nan, are you going out?" Nan looked round. "I will if you want me to." She glanced towards the window. She had realized that the sun was shining. "I thought perhaps you would go and get my new hat." Joan said. "It was promised for today, and I should so love to have it. Tim might consider than he says, you know. Things are always so uncertain in the army." The tone of her voice was unconscious, but it sent the angry blood to Nan's cheeks. She turned away to keep herself from answering angrily. "I'll go if you like," she said. "But won't you come, too? It's such a lovely morning; it would do you good to go out." But Joan would not; she had a great deal to see to, she said with a touch of importance. Nan sat on her hat; she was really glad to see that she did not feel as if she could be very patient with Joan; she walked down the road quickly. Nan felt very lonely amongst all the crowds; so many girls had men in uniform with them—Nan could not bear to look at them—she went on quickly. A man coming out of a shop almost ran into her; he pulled up shorth with a laughing apology, then broke off with an exclamation of delight. "Miss Marrabry—" It was John Ainott, and a little behind him was Peter Lyster. "Odd, you should run across one another again." Arnott said, trying to speak casually he held out his hand to Nan, and bothers in a warm, friendly grasps. He hesitated, glancing at Peter, but Lyster was looking from one to the other, obviously expecting to be introduced, and after the barest possible hesitation Arnott presented him. "My friend Peter Lyster—Miss Marrabry. He did not dare to look at Nan, but he need not have feared; after the first natural blenching she met the position calmly though she was quite pale, and now and then she clitched in her voice when she spoke. "I think I've seen you before," Lyster said. Nan held her breath in an agony of hope. Had the unexpected sight of her stirred some faint chord in his mind? But his next words soon dispelled her illusion. "You came into the hotel last night, I think," he said. "I was in the reading room." "Course," said Nan. She forced a smile to his lips. "I had left my gloves, hadn't I? And you and—and your friend were kind enough to help me look for them." Lyster frowned. "She was hardly my friend," he said, rather shortly: his voice sound- R. J. SCOH "Has Arnott told you about me?" asked Peter. ed as if he were annoyed. "I only met her casually in the hotel; I know her father slightly." Nan turned her face away to hide the look of relief that flashed into her eyes. "Let's go and get some coffee," Arnott stuck in; he was anxious to keep Nan and Peter together as long as possible. "There's a Fuller's quite clear that do you say, Peter?" Nan walked back between the two men. She felt as if she trod on air. She dared not look at Peter. She kept up a running fire of small talk with Arnott. She forced herself to laugh and appear to be merry, and the thought went through Arnott's mind again how wonderful she was. When they got to the shop he went off to see what sort of cakes there were. He entered into a totally unnecessary argument with the girl behind the sweet counter, so as to give him and Peter, a few moments together. Nan knew that he had done it on purpose, and hardly knew if she hated him for it or loved him. She looked at Peter with eyes that hid their feelings bravely. He was leaning back in his chair, and with the sunlight falling full on his face the window with its blind of colored glass beads, she realized for the first time that he had altered tremendously. She knew that her eyes were melting into tenderness; she plunged into speech. --- "Mr. Arnott tells me that you are on leave—" "Yes." He had taken off his service cap and passed a hand rather wearily across his forehead. "It beats me," he said after a moment, "why fellows always make such a fuses about leave." He laughed half shamefacedly, "It makes me wonder if I ever did—before this." He looked at Nan with a sort of anxiety in his eyes. "Has Arnott told you about me?" he asked. "He told me that you had been wounded," she answered gently. It gave her a sort of comfort to be able to to him; for the moment pain was pounded out of sight, she tried to make the most of these few poor moments. Lyster abrugged his shoulders. "The wound was nothing," he said. "I've often wished since that it had finished me." He smiled ruefully, meeting her eyes. "I suppose you despise me for saving that." "No," said Nan; her heart felt full of tears. "I believe everyone feels like that sometimes," she said after a moment. "I know I have—I mean, I have felt that I didn't want to go on living, that there is nothing to live for . . ." She laughed, to cover the tragedy of her voice. Lyster was watching her gravely; a little puzzled look in his gray eyes. "I should not have thought you would ever have felt like that," he said presently. "You look so gay and smiling." He stopped and glanced over his shoulder to see of the shop, where Arnott was still laughing with the girl at the counter. "What is Arnott doing?" he asked with a touch of impatience in his voice. Nan rose at once; she choked down the suffocating feeling that rose in her throat. She went over to where Arnott stood, she felt in some way that Peter was weary of her, and even while the knowledge hurt she knew that she would be wiser to end the little tete-a-tete. She spoke to Arnott quietly. "Are you coming to have your coffee? Peter—Mr. Lyster—is wondering what you are doing." "I'm trying to persuade Lyster to come down into the country with me for a week," Arnott said suddenly. "London's all very well, but we've got to remember that we're both more or less crocks for the present. The noise outside the Grosvenor last night was maddening. I hardly slept a wink. Now down in the country where my sister lives—" Peter struck in rather irritably. "Your sister probably would not thank you for foisting two more or less sick men on her," he said. "Oh, that's because you don't know Doris. Nothing's too much trouble for her; she'd have the whole of the British army to sleep in the house if she could." He looked at Nan and smiled. "Peter's a disagreeable old begar," he said, cheerly. "Seems to have got it up against women for some reason or another." He spoke without thinking, and the next moment he would have cut off his right hand to take back the carelessly spoken words, for Peter said, sharply: "Well, I've no great reason to care for them." He looked at Nan, half apologetically. Nan's crooked smile twisted her lips for a moment, and vanished like a pale ghost. She pushed back her chair and rose. "I'm going to buy some sweets for Joan," she said. "You two stay there." She went over to the counter just as an excuse to get away from Peter's eyes. She could not rid herself of the thought that all the time Peter must know—that behind those troubled eyes of his he knew that this was Nan, the woman whom he had adored, and that he was criticizing her and despairing her because she was able to play the game of pretense so well. When she was out of earshot Peter looked at his friend. "Who is she?" he asked with faint interest.
