THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA MAR261927 LIBRARY DID NOT CALL A MINISTER. Another Trial at Next Church Meeting VOLUME XLIV, NO. 21 DID NO Second Bai The Co Ou Another Tri The Second Baptist Church did not call a pastor last Monday night as was confidently expected in some quarters. Deacon E. F. Johnson held the gavel until about 12 o'clock when the meeting adjourned. It seems as though the friends of the numerous other ministerial candi dates would not furnish enough votes to make it the necessary three four his as is alleged to be required by Hiscock's Baptist Church Directory. The committee on pastor consisted of Chairman E. F. Johnson Deacon John T. Taylor, Deacon A. Washington, Clerk W. S. Banks and Brother Willie Smith. A NAME PRESENTED. The name of one of the leading divines in this section and State was presented and voted on. The under lying opinion seemed to be that his services could not be obtained. With the failure to elect, the committee proceeded to resign and this was accepted by the Church. Unless another committee is named, the probability is that the contest will be free for all, the candidates being named from the floor and the ballot will proceed, dropping the lowest until the contest is narrowed to two, when the one coming up to the requirement will be named as the pastor of the Second Baptist Church. DIVINES NAMES MENTIONED. The candidates mentioned are Rev. W. L. Ransome, pastor of the First Baptist Church of South Richmond; Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the Second Baptist Church South Richmond; Rev. E. E. Smith, pastor of Zion Baptist Church Portsmouth Va.; Rev. C. A. Lindsey, Richmond; Rev. W. H. Arrington, Richmond; Rev. J. B. Brown, pastor Zion Baptist Church, Petersburg, Va.; wih Rev. William H. Skipwith, the great evangelist mentioned as a 'dark horse', so to speak. ANOTHER METHOD. There is some talk now of naming candidates from the floor with the lowest one being dropped until the one wanted by the church has been selected. It is reported that Dr. Ransome has the largest following of any one candidate, with Rev. E. C. Smith ranking next. Still this will not be definitely known until each of the candidates has been given a definite 'tryout.' The opposition to Dr. Ransome is that he is in a position where it is useless to suppose that his services could be secured for the church. MRS. BYRD GONE. Mrs. Lillie D. Byrd of Newport News, Va., who has been ill for a long time died Thursday mornig-1. o'clock at her residence. She leaves a husband, son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren to mourn their loss.

We certainly thank our many coworkers from the other churches of Fulton and at large who helped to make the meetings a great success.

ROANOKE, VA. March 22. Because of damaging rumors reported to have been circulated by Chief E. M. Hairston against the character of State Sachem Charles B. Madox, an extraordinary joint session of the executive boards of the Order of Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas was called March the 12 h. 1927 at the Red Mens Hall, corner of Commonwealth and Seventh Avenues to investigate the same. Devotionals were led by Rev. P. D. Smith who sang, 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus', Etc. Prayer by Rev. P. G. Gravely. The thirteenth chapter of the First Corinthians was read by Rev. P. D. Summon led by Rev. Charles Bratton. The State Sachem, Charles B. Maxtox made a clear statement relative to the circulated rumors against his character and the purpose of the meeting. And in order to disprove the false rumors, he asked acting Chief of Records, P. G. Gravely to read the Auditor's report of all the business transacted under his administration; which dates from the year 1920 to 1927. After the reading of this lengthy record ample time and opportunity was given to each officer to ask questions, or question any data which had been read to them. The record having been too explicit to be questioned a motion was made by Chief B. J. Willis and seconded by Chief John Craighead that the report be advised. Many able statements were delivered to the body by the Red Men and Coca-colaists, which proved their keen interest in the welfare of the grand old order. The State Sachem Chief Charles B. Macoy read a very interesting history of every detail of his work for the order dating 1920 to 1927, which was listened to with rapt attention. It was a graphic presentation of personal hardship, which he was forced to undergo in order to lift the organization from total ruin to a safe institution. In his statement he gave documentary proof of mental, physical and financial sacrifices he made for which he had received no remuneration up to this time. Motioned by Daughter Eiffle Cannady and seconded by Daughter Mrs. G. S. Edmondson that this splendid reed the adopted. After these reports had been made and approved by the body, Chief E. M. Hairston asked pardon for his slanderous remarks against the char acter of State Sachem Chief Charles B. Matox. On a motion by Chief B. J. Willis and seconded by Chief John Crainghead that Chief E. M. Hairston's pardon he granted with the proviso that (he) Chief E. M. Hairson's pay all of the expenses of this extraordinary joint session of the Executive Boards of the Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas. This resolution was read to the joint session of the executive body of the Order of Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas: Whereas, Through Divine Providence once more we have come together in another executive session. And, Whereas, The work of our Sachem ably portrays his tact and business acumen. And, Whereas, He has unselfishly labored and given very efficient service under the most trying difficulties for the past seven years. And Whereas, The growth, extension, and influence of the Order is due more to the giving of his unselfish service than to any other factor: Therefore, Be It Resolved. That we the executive officers of these two bodies assembled, recommend that he be reimbursed to the amount of $600.000 six hundred dollars for his past service to the Order. Resolved, Second. That for the best interest of the Order he be allowed $750.00 per year as salary three hundred from the Daughters of Pocahontas and four hundred and fifty dollars from the Red Men. We further resolve that the Sate Sachem be exonerated from any slanderous statement made and we pledge our faith and absolute confidence in him for his long, valuable and unrequited labor in the oeah of this grand organization, and that this record be spread upon the minutes of this joint executive session.

Melvin, of Portsmouth, Va. scored heavily in the case of John Wilson, who was sentenced to death for the alleged murder of Mrs. Ella Heath, of Olive Branch, Norfolk County, Va. Attorney Melvin obtained the cooperation of County Officer John A. Wright, Jr. and Commonwealth's Attorney Cargney. The case was presented to Governor Byrd and an absolute pardon was the result. This case is similar to the one at Staunton. The fact that the crime in Norfolk County was fastened on another completes the solution of the mystery. Attorney Melvin has been practicing at the bar for years and is a credit to his chosen profession A SER/OUS DISAGREEMENT. We have read with much surprise the drastic, withering letter of President B. J. Davis of the National Negro Press Association upon the attitude and actions of Editor William Warley, editor of the Louisville News. We regret that he has found it necessary to resort to such extreme measures. He calls Editor Warley an ingrate and a renegade, whatever that means. We had hoped to attend this meeting, but existing conditions here made it an impossibility. The questions at issue do not seem to us to justify Editor Warley's attacks upon that 'prince' of leaders Benjamin J. Davis or that indefatigable secretary, Henry Allen Boyd. If 'the Association is not a success both financially and otherwise, it is not from any lack of ability and energy upon their part. We have wondered how they have 'stood the staff.' We served as President of the Press Association in this country for many years and we are familiar with the extent of the sacrifice needed to finance and manage the organization. Newspapers are poorly paid and whereas in years past and gone advertising transportation was available, now it is necessary to pay the price. We hope that Editor Warley will realize his mistake and make amends for his a-tack upon the best officials, the organization has ever had. A man at Olympia Washington, has developed a barkless dog.

He should be in a big automobile from Los City to Seattle down to Diego, fishing here and there. He would see millions of Americans that like him. The biggest wars are soon forgotten. Over a direct cable from the United States to Germany, opened last week, President Coolidge wired President Hindenburg his hope that "this additional means of communication will promote mutual understanding and give mutual respect." And President Hindenburg resisted most politely, Germany, rid of expensive fleet, expensive shipping army and extremely expensive Kaiser, attends to business and goes ahead more rapidly than any other country in Europe.

Civilization has developed a more powerful creature, which is the two legged billionaire, able to con- dress and command the work of 200,000,000 for one day. The billionaire will soon be mature and the interesting question concerning him will be, "What about his brain?" Will it be big to keep him safe? Glenn Curliss Turns Marvels of Agriculture MR. AND MRS. DOWNING IN GLENN GARDENS. NEAR THE SITE OF T Glenn Curtiss, the famous aviator, will, on January 1st, 1928, open near Miami, Fln., a huge permanent World's Fair to be devoted entirely to agriculture. He has already purchased the site and is busied on plans for the enormous enterprise which will be unlike any world's exposition yet held since in addition to the extensive exhibits in the exhibit palaces, the most modern methods of cultivation will be expounded in adjacent gardens. Mr. Curtias' plans are colossal in scope, and he has chosen one of the world's garden spots to demonstrate new possibilities and larger returns from the cultivation of the soil. His big project has aroused tremendous interest, owing to universal recognition of the fact that farmers should obtain greater rewards for their labor and investment. Soon after the great storm of land fall, he offered the use of land near the exposition site to Red Cross refugees. The rich soil was placed under cultivation by persons who had lost their homes and businesses during the war and to others, and the large crops stach The learned Dr. Sack, of Heidelberg University, studying thousands of Egyptian mummies, inads that high living killed off rich Egyptians as it kills off rich Americans now. Foolish eating, lack of exercise, especially lack of deep breathing, have through the centuries been skimming the scum of the boiling pot of civilization. Mummies of the fifty dynasty show signs of tuberculosis, affecting the spine, and gout, swelling the joints. The Supreme Court decides unanimously that Texas' laws for bidding negroes to vote at Democratic primaries is unconstitutional. It is a most important decision, and not to the South only, since it may mean Federal control over local primaries. Where money is, men will dig. It was proved in Italy, before architects had learned how to make great domes like that on St. Peter's hold themselves up as they rose in the air. One dome was built and filled with earth to support it, as it rose, until the sides met at the top. Putting in the earth would be much less expensive than taking it out. So they mixed the earth beneath the dome with small coins of a total value much less than the cost of removing the earth. When the dome was finished the population was told it could bear away the coin-bearing dirt. The great dome stood empty. This country last year imported more than $80,000,000 worth of precious stones, $5,000,000 more than the year before. And those purchases were made without the assistance of the extinct race of bartenders, to each of whom a large diamond was as necessary as a white apron. M. Millet, French scientist, would tear down the honey bee's reputation built up by Maaterlinck, Lubbock and many others, back to Aristotle. The bee is a dull, mechanical creature, says Millet; it does not know that it pollenizes flowers and blossoms, does not even know which flowers have honey, thinks only of getting sugar. You can say the same of our human honey bees of industry. They build up civilization, make wealth, leisure and culture possible, but they don't know it, or don't care. They also are "only looking for sugar." But like the bees, they are doing the work for which the Lord is asked them, and that's sufficient.

The exposition is planned and will be carried out with the same tremendous energy which Mr. Curtiss engaged in the production of airplanes during the Great War. It is pointed out that not on the exposition to be located on the rich soil of the valley, but Everglades which is the valley in productivity even by the Valley of the Nile, but the semi-tropics where experimental agriculture can be conducted throughout the year. Stores of new crops from all parts of the world can be introduced, for although many of the products which are staples on American farms are arable oneign lands, the field of foreign plants and vegetables suited to particular in America is, in reality, just being opened up. New vegetables, medicinal plants of economic importance, new grasses, and legumes not well known here are among the possibilities, expected to expand the most modern method of certified farming, carbonization. Mr. Curtiss has the assistance of expects, in his great undertaking, THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. With millions of our people spending nineteenth of their lives in offices, studios, sanctums and trade marts, some sort of artificial exercise becomes necessary to even moderate health. The reader will pardon me, if I devote this article to timely observations on the subject, rather than to technique. There is no substitute to take the place of out-door activity as a congener of long life and healthy function, and as remarked before, all violation of the law of right living is penalized in length of days. Your "daily dozen" is capable of doing harm if overindulged. My friend, sixty years old, carried his effort to extreme; he bathed every morning in near-ice-water; then he put in a half-hour of violence "crawls," "dips," and "swimns" until almost exhausted to "proof of reaction." He now has a stroke of paralysis which will disable him for life. He did no outdoor work, having retired; he followed all sorts of fantastic notions in eating the no-breakfast folly, and the two-meal-a-day vagary; at his age, he took walks in zero temperature; he was a faddist. Arterial changes due to age will not stand violent exertion. The warm bath before retiring takes much strain off the heart; a few moments deep breathing when first up in the morning is always useful. Moderate exercise before breastfeat—the best meal of the day—is a promoter of appetite and digestion five or ten minutes of tip-toeing and swinging of the arms and limbs, taking deep breaths, is a fine tonic, if indulged several times a day; it will counteract the cramped position at the desk, the poring over "the bocks," the attitude at the linotype or other machine. It is against excesses of artificial movements that I would warm. And no exercise will take the place of the proper amount of sleep! Next week: Intravenous Medication World's Exposition age, Permanent Fair IN CURTISS GLEANN CURTISS HEADQUARTERS Near THE EXPOSITION SITE AT OOPLOCK9 the first world's fair to be devoted to agriculture, a pursuit on which the whole world depends. Mr. Curtiss and his partner Mr. Bright, at an early day introduced dairy farming at Hialeah, near Miami. Hialeah has since become a busy and important center, the location of the Miami race track, moving picture studios, and of the great terminal of the Florida East Coast Railway which has a capacity 3,600 freight cars. The scene of the exposition will be about six miles North of Hialeah. Here, through the tremendous energies and world vision of Mr. Curtiss, the great exposition will be located, adjacent to a large community at Opalocka which has been built there during the past year.

An example is to be found in the beautiful Florida State College for Women at Tallahassee, which, in 1924, was the association of American Universities its approved list of colleges and universities. No State college for women has had this distinction heretofore. Its students and graduates have standing in all the great universities in the world, and the work of the college is officially accepted as equal to any of the great educational institutions of the world. The Florida State College for Women offers every advantage of a great state institution with that care for the health, happiness, spiritual welfare of its students which is characteristic of the best privately endowed women's colleges.

When the teacher after an investigation came to the conclusion the department was the foremost of its kind. The college is set in beautiful grounds on stately hills. Practically all of the buildings have been constructed in the past 16 years in predominating Tudor architecture. Between 1,300 and 1,400 students attend the college which has its own hospital bank, dental postoffice, and private kitchen-1,000 students can be seated in the main dining hall at one time. Tallahassee, before the Civil War, was a seat of southern wealth and culture, and many improvements have been added.

With the capture of the French vessel, "La Seine," in 1705, Quebec (then "New France"), was without clothing. This incident brought the French into the spotlight, spinning and weaving soon became a necessity. Here again the habitants oiled their shuttles and distrafe to the rhythm of chansons. The charm of Quebec is in the old world atmosphere and customs which still prevail. In the juxtant French-Canadian villages women weave and make rugs to music which stimulates them in their work for in many homes this is their favorite pastime.

If it is a matter of goingriding arrangements are made in the dormitory office and a chapelon is required. In other words, the regulations are such as would be required in the best homes anywhere.

Many striking testimonials 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 spiritred regiment that has been under my command at this cannonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true.
