This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR VIRGINIA AUG. 20, 1928 STATE LIBRARY RICHMOND PLANET TIGER FLOWERS STAGES A GREAT RING BATTLE IN N. Y. Great Crowd of Elks at Cleveland, O., Convention Harry Greb, White Challenger Makes a Fine Showing--Unable to Overcome Handicap--Large Crowd There. VOLUME XLIII. NO. 42 TIC STAG Great Flowers Harry Greb, Fine Showing Handicap NEW YORK, August 19 — When Tiger Flower, won the middleweight championship from Harry Greb the white prize fighter of Pittsburgh, Pa., both Creb and many of his friends believed that the colored fighting deacon would not wear the jurels long if he accorded to Greb to return match. However, Flowers met the issue and promised to give him an opportunity to 'come back.' As a result, the fight fans saw a spectacular and bloody battle here tonight at Madison Square Garden, where some 15,000 people gathered to witness the contest. The gate receipts were $71,745. Flowers' home is in Atlanta, Ga. The crowd was the largest of the summer season. It took the boys a while to get warmed up in the second round, but when they did there was some more spirited action with Greb on the offensive and Flowers trying to figure out what would happen next. Greb got cheer after cheer as he feinted the title holder into a favorable position and slammed with lefts and rights to the Deacon's head and stomach. The champion looked grim and determined as he took his corner, while Greb danced to his with all the carefreeness of a boy being let out of school. Greb left himself wide open when he missed a left in the third round and Flowers whaled away with rights and lefts to Harry's head. As Greb clinched the Tiger hammered away at his body and shot home several lefts that appeared to be delivered below the pugilistic equator. Flowers drove home a se les of rule-driving rights and a short time complained to the referee that Greb was using his thum in a manner contrary to accepted principles. Just as the bell sounded Greb drove Flowers over into his own corner and plumped home a good-night punch to close the round. In the next round, Flowers, after missing, slipped on the canvas near Greb's corner and nearly went out of the ring. He recovered his equilibrium and, getting to his feet, reeled around dizzily, but he was only feinting and soon drove a hard right to Harry's jaw. Greb retaliated with a blow to the jaw and the two were so busily engaged that they failed to heed the bell. Greb showing considerable annoyance at Flowers' unwillingness to quit. Greb's eye, cut in the second round, gave his handlers something to work on before the thirteenth round started. In the session it was Greb's turn to go down, which he did whil retreating from a punch Flowers directed to his midsection. It was delivered palpably low and Greb winced with the pain. The referee, however was not in a position to see the blow and nothing came of it. Harry's eye was bleeding somewhat profusely as he went to his corner. The last session was a corker from start to finish, the ring being full of flying fists and legs. Once Flowers slipped half way out of the ring and again Greb wrestled him out. MAXWELL TOURING CAR.

A DARK DISGRACE TO VIRGINIA "The Negro's head was beaten into a pulp and his body was dragged nine miles behind an automobile to the scene of his alleged crime, where it was hung to a tree and riddled with bullets.**** "The Negro was hurled to the floor and shot several times in the head.**** "Wytheville, according to advises here, seems undisturbed over the affair. The identity of the mob is shrouded in mystery. Some were dressed as women, others were clothed in various ways, and all were masked. The jailer claims that about fifty men composed the death party. He claims he fared badly at their hands. "Not the least excitement followed the arrival in town of the mob, it is stated. No one seems to know from which direction it first appeared. The lynching was perfectly planned and executed. "Has Virginia known in forty years a more humiliating story than that set forth in these extracts from the Associated Press account of the Wytheville lynching, as telegraphed from Roanoke?" A drunken mob of savages on a South Sea island could not have been more brutal. Russian 'reds' in the maddest frenzy of their irreligious revolution would have hesitated at such cruelty. Done in the name of 'white supremacy,' this crime disgraces a commonwealth that has boasted the patient honesty of its justice. "Night feeling Virginians will be the more outraged by this atrocity because lynchings have been increasing in the Old Dominion at the very time they were decreasing in other States. For almost a generation the people of this State were quick to assert that they respected the law, no matter how gross the offense. It was not the 'Virginia way' to put on masks, to hide individual identity in a mob, to hang some wretch in the dark of the moon, and then to slink away in blood guiltiness. For sixteen years the name of Virginia was not connected with a single lynching. The State became a model to the whole South. Then in 1918, a Negro was lynched in Culpeper. Two years later a man was taken off a train in Wise county and was wanged before the authorities could intervene. The next year, October 12, 1923, a Negro was shot and killed by a mob in King and Queen. On March 20, 1925, a criminal was taken from jail, lynched and burned at Waverly. "In eight years Virginia has had four lynchings, not to count two cases in which men barricaded themselves and were shot by posses. Meantime the total number of lynchings in the country has decreased from 57 in 1922 to 16 in 1925—and one of the 16 occurred in the oldest and presumably the most law abiding of States!" There is only one way to stop mob violence, and that is to resist the mob at every stage of its attempted violence, and to keep on the trail of lynchers until some of them are apprehended and convicted. That is what happened in Wise county. A crowd tried to storm the jail. The sheriff refused to show the white feather. He told the mob to keep off, and when it refused to heed his warnings, he and his deputies did what all law officers should do in like circumstances—they fired on the men who were trying to break down the door. One of the attacking party was killed and several were wounded. The mob abandoned its attempt. Later, when the prisoner was be aug. 21 lacking ing removed by train, he was taken on and lynched But the authorities of Wise county did not propose to let that act go unpunished. The commonwealth's attorney, who was a man of real courage, began investigations and kept them up until he found a man who had admitted that he had a hand in the lynching. The commonwealth's attorney had him indicated, prosecuted him and had him sent to the penitentiary for two years in a charge of voluntary manslaughter. The man has served his time and has left the prison, but neither he nor anyone else in Wise county has forgotten his punishment. It will be a long day before another lynching occurs in Wise county. "The News Leader appeals for the same spirit in dealing with this outrage in Wythe. The judge of that circuit ought as a first step to investigate the behavior of the jail keeper who claims that he was coughly handled by the crowd. If there be the slightest evidence that the jailer was negligent in any rebellion, or failed to resist the crowd to the limit of his strength, he ought to be removed immediately. Sheriffs and sergeants must be brought to see that there can be no worse dis- HIPPODROME ATTRACTIONS. Manager Martin is staging a double programme at the Hippodrome Theatre.

Echoes From the Grand Lodge, K. of P. STAUNTON, VA. August 20. Much information awaits Supreme Chancellor Green's entrance into its town'and the Pythians here are anxious to see him. Mr. John Mitchell Jr. vouchsafed the information that the statement; of Eugene West, G. K. of R. and S. will be a source of investigation and future action by the representatives of the Bureau of Insurance. This department succeeded in turning over to the Grand Bridge, K. of P. During its brief period of receivorship $11,592.70. THAT REPORT HERE After two years of service. Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell reporte- d only $4,000.00 approximately in the Endowment Department and did not have enough money in Staun- ton to meet the Grand Lodge expen- ses, although he had received in addition to the regular assessments and taxes, $20,799.46 from the receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank, only $2,000.00 of which had been deposited in the Grand Lodge treasury. In reply to the statement of Sir Eugene West, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal who said in his report, "When the Receiver (Commissioner of Insurance Joseph Button) turned the Order over to the proper officers our task was made more difficult as we were given eleven thousand dollars without a book, penell or any records whatever and told to launch out on a sea of service." SUPPLIES SENT HIM. Attorney C. J. Churchman, of Col Button's office stated that all supplies were shipped to Eugene West at Norfolk and his Mr. Baldwin states that they went down to Norfolk and opened up a set of books for him. This brings a question of veracity between West and the office of the Commissioner of Insurance. It will be necessary for West to either explain or retract his statement. THAT OTHER MONEY Questions have been asked here as to the authority of the Grand Court in paying $600 for the collection of the money from the receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank, when all that was necessary was for the Grand Worthy Receiver of Deposits or the Grand Worthy Counsellor of that organization to go to the receivers and get the check and place it in the treasury of the Order. The only authority for this money and the payment of the $100 to Attorney W. H. C. Brown for legal services is to be found. Mr. Mitchell says, on page 19, beginning at the third line, Grand Court Minutes for 1925: EXTRACT FROM MINUTES "The session was addressed by Attorney W. H. C. Brown. He asked permission of the Grand Court to give him the privilege of going forward and making the necessary arrangements to secure the money that had been deposited in The Mechanics Savings Bank Richmond. Permission was granted." There is no further statement as to the cost incident to this and yet on this alone, he charged up $700 to the Grand Court and received the money for legal services. At this time, he had not been licensed by the Board of Bar Examiners of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia and had no right to appear in a legal capacity anywhere within the confines of this State. BARRED BY LAW He took from the treasury of the Female Department money, which he is barred from taking as an attorney on account of this legal inhibition. Making necessary arrangements consisted of securing the services of Jos R. Pollard attorney to do what he as attorney could not do both drawing money which but one of them could legally draw under the statute and money, which any official properly authorized could have drawn from the receivers without expense to that body, the treasurer being located in Richmond. PRICE, FIVE CENTS RS I N. Y. vention Re-elected Parade. e Field. CLEVELAND, OHIO, August 25—Colored Elks, members of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World have been enering this city on all trains. A public meeting was held at the Public Auditorium, Monday afternoon and City Manager William R. Hopkins and United States Senator Frank B. Willis delivered ringing addresses. The Grand Lodge convened yesterday morning at 9 o'clock with Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson presiding. The body is in session at Mt. Zion Temple. The Grand Temple, with Daughter Ruler Laura E. Williams presiding, is in session at Shiloh Baptist Church. GREAT STREET PARADE. The street parade was a gorgeous affair and took place yesterday after noon. The route covered four miles and it seemed as though all the people in this city, white and colored thronged the streets. The parade ended at Luna Park, where a general good time took place, prizes being awarded. The fight for offices was lost sight of today. It is generally predicted that J. Finley Wilson will be reelected. H. H. Pace is making a spirited fight on Grand Secretary, George E. Bates. The general feeling seems to be that all of the former officers will be re-elected although Grand Treasurer James T Carter has a fight on his hands, too. OTHER CANDIDATES There are three other candidates for his office. John W. White, of Richmond and Tiffany Toliver, of Roanoke are out for the office, while Chicago has a dark horse to offer. On account of the division, Carter may be elected. The number of Ells here is mere guess work, but there is a powerful big crowd in evidence FULTON NOTES Rev. O. A. Cobbs, pastor, preached a powerful and inspiring sermon at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Sunday morning. In the evening, the anniversary of the Knights of Damon was held at the church. The sermon was delivered by the pastor. A creditable program was rendered in connection with the sermon. Tomorrow is Children's Day at Calvary. Don't miss what is in store for you. Mrs. E. Cobbs, is leading, assisted by others. After spending several days in the mountains, attending the Virginia Baptist State Sunday school Convention at Lexington, Va., Mrs. Georgia Vates, Miss Julia James, Mr. Arthur White and Mr. C. B.

We congratulate him upon both his nerve and his energy. The only rights we can obtain in this country are those for which we contend by upright conduct and by the ballot box. "A LEADERLESS GROUP." Benjamin Jefferson Davis editor of the Atlanta, Ga. Independent and recently re-elected President of the National Negro Press Association is an orator writer, statesman of remarkable ability. He denominates the colored people of this country as "A Leaderless Group" and charges that the non-recognition of this group is due to the fact that it will not accept and follow competent leadership. He overlooks the fact that no race of people in this country has such a leader. The white people are as much divided upon the leadership issue as are the Negroes themselves. As a matter of fact, Negroes are imitators of white people and one reems to be the reflection of the other. This is strikingly true in the colored folks imitating the bad traits of this same class of people. We take it that in this most readable production Editor Davis is stirring up the very discord he seeks to avoid. Here is how he puts it. "We fear that there is no Negro in American life that the local leaders would nominate and support. Ed Wright of Chicago has been suggested, and objected to on the seconds that he has no national experience. Major R. R. Moton is turned down because he has no business in politics. M. J. Chisum is ruled out on the grounds that he has no constituency. Roscoe Simmons is knocked, for a lack of dependability; Gichrist Stewart, because he cannot deliver New York; Fred R. Moore, because he is not diplomatic in fine. Walter Cohen is too local. Bob Church is too rich, and Perry Howard is usually on the wrong side of every question. Clarence Matthews won't fight. Bill Lewa is may not be in the ship, when it comes time to dip water. William Pickens is too radical; Dr. DuBois is unsafe, and Dr. Scott too egotistic. "Thus every available leader is raed out of the game, and we are at sea like a ship without a pilot." Editor Davis should remember that no one is perfect. We had in mind, another name to propose as leader. Modesty has no doubt caused the distinguished southerner to withhold his name. He is known as Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Editor of the Atlanta Independent, President of the National Negro Press Association and Republican National Committee man from Georgia. He is logically the man to accept the mantle of leadership and he should proceed to accept the toga and take hold of the reins of national leadership. Selah. A Dark Disgrace To (Continued from page 1) grace to them officially than to have a prisoner taken away from them by a mob. As a second step, the commonwealth's attorney of the county should initiate a thorough-going investigation, and should not be content with a week's effort to find the guilty men. He should not hesitate to employ detectives and to keep them quietly at work until some member of the mob is caught. If the trail be held long enough, some one will be bagged. Men who join mobs are usually men who will boast of it when they care. If there be any reason why the commonwealth's attorney of Wythe cannot act, then the judge of the circuit should appoint a substitute. Governor Byrd can help in this. He most assurgedly feels the same humiliation that other Virginians confess today, and though he may have no direct authority in the premises, he has the duty to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed', and he has much influence with the officers of the county. An appeal from him to the judge and to the commonwealth's attorney might speed up the inquiry. The free use of his contingent fund in tracking down the men who had a hand in this outrage would be aitogether justified. There ought not to be a minute's delay in instituting or a second's cause in pursuing an inquiry that will put some of these murderers in the penitentiary. Virginia has been strapped too often in recent years to hesitate now.—(Richmond Va. News Leader Editorial.) ROANOKE LETTER.

It was through Mill» ers eintion that the story of the iMorrferovianear-disaster, when =! soe held for three days on a = “ved rock at the mouth of * “> Sound. off Northumberland | northern Greenland, reached > ontside world. So clearly, Miller says. do the sicnals from VOQ come through that they are at times audible 15 feet from the headphowes. This feat In transmission is credited to the unusual efficiency of the special short wave radio equipment, built fer the Morrissey through the co- operation of A. Atwater Kent, of Philadelphia," ® “Communication with the Mor- rissey, both sending and recetvins, has been very reliable,” Miller states. “The first night I found the signals of YOQ was July 28. at exactly 10 p. m., eastern standard time. I waited on his wave for a chance to call him when I thought fe woold be tuning bis receiver, looking for calls from the United States. At 10:20 p.m. I called ‘and at 10:22 Thad him.’ The Mor. rissey was then 130 miles south of Etah, near Cape York. I took four messages that first night, one of which was a 500 word pr°.s mes- sage.

Movies Take Step in `Aviation Development WINGS William Wellman, World War ace who will direct the aviation picture, examines the model of the airplane parachute. Inset shows Harry D. Doucett, inventor of the device. MARCUS LOEW AT 16 Because David Warfield couldn't manage the little apartment house he bought in W. 111th Street, New York, some 20 years ago, the American public, when it goes to the theater, sits in houses owned or controlled by Marcus Loew and watches vaudeville or moving pictures produced by that same non-theatric gentleman. No movie thriller produced by Loew, however, and no slay his theaters have staged ever held more of real romance and drama than the life of Loew himself, in the opinion of Alexander Woolcott, famous dramatic critic of the New York Times. Woolcott, who knows them all — the man, the plays and the movies—gives an insight into the drama of this picturesque career in the September number of Hearst's International Cosmopolitan Magazine, which carries the first installment of his "Story of Marcus Loew." At 16. Woollott says, Loew's idea of complete financial and social success was to be a head waiter. At 30 he was in the fur trade—buying pelts and making them into coats, stoles and muffs. Then, having accumulated a little spare cash, he bought an equity in a small apartment house. He occupied one of the suites himself and saved the expenses of an agent by being his own manager. Movies Take `Aviation D William Wellman, World War ace examines the model of the airplane Doucett, inventor of the device! CAN the air be completely conquered? Since the inception of airplanes, every possible precaution has been taken to assure the safety of fliers. And during the last year the death rate among aviators has had a noticeable decrease. Now Harry D. Doucett, enlisted mechanic at the San Diego naval air base, comes forward with an invention for saving the plane also in case of mishaps. Doucett's invention consists of nothing more than a giant parachute strapped to the wings of a plane. It is carried in the fuselage, is released by a lever and when inflated by air resistance floats the plane to the bottom in the same manner in which the pilot descends with his parachute. Very simple, says a casual observer. Why hasn't it been done before? But to operate the device successfully is not as simple as it apes. Works on Model "I spent many weeks experimenting with model planes before I was successful," declares Doucett. "Either the parachute was too heavy to inflate from air resistance, too small to let the plane descend gently or the material was so light that it split the great pressure. But now I have a parachute that works perfectly on a model. "My next disappointment came when the government wouldn't spend the money for an apparatus LOEW AS HE IS TODAY David Warfield, out of the first profits of his partnership with David Belasco, bought an apartment adjoining Loews'. But Warfield was no manager. So the fun dealer made bold to call on the actor and explain how his property was being mismanaged. Unless a change was made, he said, it was certain to show a loss instead of a profit. It was none of his business of course, but—well, he hated to see a helpless baby robbed of his penny. His unshot of it was that Loew agreed to look after Warfield's apartment house. It soon begun to brine in profits. The profits clinched in Warfield's mind the unshakeable conviction that Loew was a wizard of finance. Thereafter Warfield carried to Loew for analysis and decision all the tips he received on this or that theatrical opportunity. And as Warfield walked in ways that were daily beset by invitations to buy into theatrical enterprises, he pleas for guidance turned Loew's attention and interest more and more to the show business. Today, as a result of this divert interest, the former fur dealer owns a number 350 theater, extending from California to heads a system that produces all Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer find Cosmo and politan pictures, and manages vaudeville in most of the cities of these U. S. A. How, starting with a little penny arcade in Union Square, the for dealer developed into the dominating genius of the theatrical industry, is revealed step by step in this new romance of American business The success of Loew, Inc., which came into being because David Warfield couldn't manage his apartment house, not only made Loew the big boss of the American show business but earned for Warfield, on the Loew stock he held more dollars than all his art and his success on the stage. It made him, admittedly, the richest actor in the world, as it made Loew the richest theatrical magnate. e Step in Development who will direct the aviation picture. the parachute. Inset shews Harry D. to be tried on a regulation sized plane. I read in the paper that the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation would soon start filming "Wings." an air story of the World War. So I appealed to Jesse L. Lasky for financial aid." Through the influence of William Wellman, ex army ace and member of the Lafayette Escadrille, who is to direct the air film, Lasky agreed, to furnish Doucett with financial backing. Will Market Device "I had a two-fold purpose in advancing funds to Doucett." Lasky says. "First, I wanted it for our own protection. During the filming of Wings, we will have as many as 406 planes in the air at one time. Many of these will have to be 1918 types in order to keep our story technically accurate. By using Doucett's invention, I hope to complete the picture without a single casualty." "I also feel that assisting Doucett to perfect his device for rescuing disabled planes in mid-air is an investment in human life as well as a great gift to aviation the world around." The Lasky company is making only one requirement of Doucett. They must have the exclusive right to the safety apparatus while filming "Wings." At the completion of the picture, the rights will revert to the inventor who will put the device on the open market. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET; RICHMOND, VIRGINIA "Big Injuns," in the Canadian Pacific Rockies, Show the Humble Tourist-Paleface How to Play Banff Golf CHIEF GREEN HILLS DRIVING A NEA.

Cristy takes a hurdle on "Glenna Bay" in the Ladies Hunter class at the annual horse show at Stamford, Conn. Glenna Bay seems to take offense—beg pardon, a fence—easily. George Ade, beau bachelor of Hoosier belles letters, is the latest of the literati to declare war on "The Good Old Days". In effect, Ade has decided that while they may now be old they never were so very very good, and that fifty years ago, when legs were limbs and were not mentioned much less revealed in public, there were lots of things hidden besides human anatomy. Pending the visible virtues and alleged vices of the present generation, as a bachelor of his years is apt to do, Ade's memory recently reverted to the days of his adolescence. The result of this retrospection is an article appearing in the September number of Heearst's International Cosmopolitan magazine under the title "The Mushy Seventies". The picture he draws of the beaux and belles of that day, their customs and their costumes, makes the short-skirted, frank-spoken fapper of today—and even the drug-store "sheik"—appear as the superlative products of evolution. "I couldn't forget the seventies if I tried." Ade writes. "That was the time when our so-called civilization arose to the sublimest peak of our world." "Woman, ever helpful, did what she could to wooze the Western SEV s of 50 Years Ago ern Youth, Says Ade Hemisphere by affecting hoopskirts, bustles, chignons, nets, superfious flouces, cameo brooches, pill-box hats and useless parasols.

Derby hats lined with puckery silk, resembling the interior of a child's coffin! His characters thus established, Ade proceeds to the manners and customs, the poses and pretenses that governed their existence. With a ruthless realism that strips all vision and romance from the crudity and pretension of the mid-Victorian era, he builds up by contrast, a compelling conviction that today is, after all, about the best time in the world's history in which to live. And as for the flapper—well, if there is any fault, to be found with her, Ade holds, the "mushy seventies" are to blame. For, he says, "the flapper at today is simply the symbol of extroversion against the twittering mushiness of fifty years ago." to Active Duty "Within Prison Walls." Wins Fame Behind Prison Walls..Remarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. SIGHT An insider (Reprint and authorizing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "Within Prison Wall's in this issue was written by a young colored man, of good family and training, who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity and who due to his ability, served (during a course of ten years) in his positions (as an inmate) one of which has never been filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he will dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life that are rarely, if ever, disclosed to the public.) (Continued from last week.) I realized that this was a stepping stone and I went to considerable extra trouble in preparing her work. Even a simple program that she would wish typed I would type and prepare in special booklet form, with each club member's name types thereon, making each one an individuality. This I knew would cause comment and I felt it would, of necessity react in my favor and I reasoned correctly. Mrs. Catlin, and that was her real name, would more than show her appreciation in sending me in special cakes, pies, hot soups and in fact, each time she would have some special delicacy I would be remembered. ASSIGNED CLERICAL WORK. After two months of such efforts the Deputy called me in one day and told me I could go ahead with my mail-order plans subject to all matter being subsequently approved by the Warden. Also at about the same time the administration felt that I could be of more service to them in some clerical capacity than as a roustabout in the box factory and as the overall factory was just about to start they placed me there as clerk to devise and install any system to conform with the requirements of the overall factory. I dived into both enterprises with all the vim and zest within me, working nine faithful hours for the State and the remainder for myself. MUCH DETAIL WORK There was much detail work to be done in my own business to get started. I had thousands upon thousands of compilations to make and this took clerks, penmen, typists, filers, etc. As previously stated I had spent all of my own money, but I had some personality. I would pick out the various inmates whom I judged to have the necessary qualifications to make him useful to me and would complain of my predicament. Offer him a good bonus or piece-wage wage to work for me and asked that, he would wait for his pay until I got the business started. They were willing and accordingly I opened accounts with them, employing as high as 25 men at one time and at the rate of anywhere from 25 cents per night each up to $1.00 and in some special cases even higher. ANOTHER LIFER I arranged with another lifer who was ni the dolly business to have him go sponsor for me for a line of credit with the grocer which he did merely selling him my idea and as suring him that when I got started that I could throw in a week as much business his way as he was now doing in a month. At the end of each month I would draw off my accounts with the various men, showing what they had earned and what I had advanced them in the form of credit from the prison grocery, showing their net balance and in each case adding an extra bonus. DEALT WITH HIM It got so that the men would rather have their monthly statement from me than a few dollars living idle in the front office and they would draw their money out of the office, trade it in for script and turn the script over to me to use as I saw fit in my business, crediting their account with me accordingly. It was in such manner and after many months of hard toil, denying myself all prison pleasures, never going on the yard, never witnessing a ball game, but always persistently working at my business, that I got established in the compiling business, which business in after years secured for me write-ups in many national publications including a special feature write-up in a Sunday issue of the Detroit Sunday News (largest newspaper in Michigan). THE FIRST ORDER When my first order was received in the fall of 1919 and it was only for $1.00, but proving my judgment that my service was for sale I gave the boys a banquet costing me $10 and prepared specially by the prison chef. I was at all times loyal and interested in the welfare of my workers and it was due to their loyalty in turn that I was able to succeed after having gone $800 in debt before the first order was received. I later sold over $5,000 worth of my unique service. NOT WITHOUT OBSTACLES. To say that my success was steady and without obstacles would not be true for many were the thorns strewn in my path. Jealousy amongst some of the other men that I might get into something that would prove better than they had ever and caused them to do all manner of things to bar my progress. Most of my work after I got started required the use of typewriters and some of the jealous ones got different parties to complain of the noise the typewriters were making after the quiet hour of seven had arrived. It was at that hour that all musical instruments had to cease and through their petitions they tried to get my typewriters to cease operating which if carried into effect meant the cessation of my business. MACHINES SILENCED. for one night my machinies were silenced but the next day I had my session in court and, I argued logically with the Deputy and the Warden that if the other men were to be allowed to work on their silk and thread novelties or wooden toys, etc. after seven o'clock that just as consistently should my men be allowed to work on my compilations and that it was just as essential for the use of a typewriter in my business as it was for a needle or a jack-knife in theirs and without the implements with which to work further efforts were useless. Further that I was hundreds of dollars in debt and that to satisfy that debt the continuance of my business was essential. NEVER AGAIN BOTHERED. I won my point and my machines were never bothered again. In order to concentrate what little disturbance the operation of a typewriter meant I arranged to have all my workmen moved over on the same gallery with me and my row soon came to be known as "Compiler's Row" as nearly everybody on it worked for me. To add to the comfort of my workmen, which at that time included three stenographers, all taught and trained by me there in the prison, one printer, one draughtsman, two filers; a half dozen checkers and a score or more persons in addition to a poor crippled An Absurd Rumor We are informed that Richmond and elsewhere Shore Summer Rescue has been sold, and we closed to Negro People.

For these men I hired exclusively a cook who would at any time give them whatever they wanted to eat and with whom I would settle on a weekly basis. In addition I was able to get out on detail an errand boy who did nothing but pass work back and forth amongst the several employees. A victrola was secured and all the latest records afforded amusement for them to work by. It was not long before working for me became something that any one with any talent sought for and many were the workers who were told by the outlaws, in chastisement for something they had done that they couldn't continue working for me unless they kept their record above reproach.

One woman who was exceedingly thin gained 10 pounds in 22 days and now has what most people would call a perfect, stunning figure. And always bear in mind that McCoy's tablets do help feeble old folks who need an ideal tonic and that for puny backward children thousands are taken daily.

Thirteen years ago two vee leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. 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 Colonal 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".

THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE. This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro.
