THE RICHMOND PLANET President Calvin Coolidge Astounds the Nation. Declines to Run Again----Field Open----Candidates Ready The Automobile Contestants Multiply Rapidly Monument to Old Type Colored Folks==Southerners Pleased. Rev. Dr. Skipwith Enters Automobile Contest--Canvassers Active--Rally to Get Bonus Votes by Aug. 15th. VOLUME XLIV. NO. 39 Preside Declines The Au Monumen Rev. Dr. Sk Contest--C to Get Bo Victory is in sight! What a race! On the outcome hang the hopes and ambition of every energetic contestant. Never since the days of the first announcement have the racing prize seekers hit such a speedy pace as now. The order of the day in Richmond is the Richmond Planet $1,000 Campaign. No racing entrant dares lag behind for even a day, test some hurling late starters of a mysterious dark horse brush past to victory. Fifty more days and the far turn will have been reached and passed; some fortunate one among the racers will have claimed the first prize. If you turn on the gas until September 19, it may be you. Votes and votes alone will win the prizes. Remember August 15 is positively the close of our last biggest extra 100,000 votes Bonus offer during the Campaign. Every candidate is urged to do his best to turn in every subscription by August 15, at 8 P. M. in order that you may get the full benefit of the last big bonus offer. This will test your strength. Urge your friends to turn in their subscriptions to you that you may get full credit for every vote, that you may run ahead and clinch the grand prize and be a winner because a crusier never wins and a winner never quits. If you intend to be a winner you must take advantage of your spare time until the close of this Campaign, Monday September 19. If Richmond wants to share the honor of getting the first prize won by one of their Contestants; an honor that every city and its citizens should be proud of, it's up to them to get behind their favorite and put him over. Remember Nesting Va., Norge, Va., Rio Vista Va., Cambrila, Va., Norfolk, Va. Hunhall, Pa., and Philadelphia, Pa. are in this Contest and they have entered with he spirit to win. We are asking all citizens in Richmond and adjoining towns and States, who believe in supporting race enterprises to cooperate with us and help us make this contest one of the biggest and best that has ever been pulled off by a race journal throughout the country. This can only be done by giving your moral and financial support. $2.00 per year is only a fraction over 3 1 4 cents a week. If you do appreciate, and I believe you do, a first-class, clean cut newspaper that has no enemies to punish and no friends to reward; one that will publish news and news worth publishing, and one that makes a special appeal to the churches and societies, which will be published free if you write and mail to the office not later than Tuesday of each week. We shall appreciate the same. We invite articles to be written by people who think and mold sentiment in the interest of the people of our race. We need your advice, your cooperation in helping to make The Richmond Planet one of the leading newspapers of our race. If you are a well-wisher of the success of this campaign and have any question to ask in the interest of the same, please call Randolph 2213 and ask for W. A. Kersey, Campaign Manager. REV. DR. SKIPWTH THE GREAT EVANGELING INTERNS CONTEST Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va., My Dear Brother: I notice by an adv. in your paper that another contest will be on in the interest of your paper. I notice by an adv. of yours and the paper, and if you are the backer of the project and it's going to be conducted as heretofore, then send me the necessary credentials, and my friends will start to work. I want a real car. Send credentials, etc. Very truly yours. W. H. SKIPWITH. P. S.—I shall only go in if it you are the backer. W. H. S. MRS. ARTENIA J. MILLER MISSED Mrs. Artenia J. Miller, a friend to the poor, is gone to the Great Beyond where she is resting from her labor and her good works shall follow her, to live on through the ceaseless age of eternity. During her lifetime she saw that the poor were looked after and cared for. Every year she would give the inmates of the Afro-American Old Folks Home, 1115 W. Moore St., Richmond Va. a picnic. Since her death, I am sorry to say, the Old Folks have had no one to take them out for recreation. The old fathers and mothers would be glad if some one or some organization would fill her place in taking them out. As the summer is gilding by, we hope that they will have the opportunity to go somewhere before the summer is gone. J. C. RANDOLPH. President IN MEMORIAM I live in memories of my grandmother, Col. Thomas M. Crumm, Mr. Robert Chatman Payne, Mrs. Mary Ann Payne. I am waiting for the Master, Who will bid me rise and come To the glory of His presence To the gladness of His home. Many a weary path I've traveled In the darkest storm and strife, Bearing many a heavy burden, Often struggling for my life. Many friends that traveled with me Reached that portal long ago; One by one they left me battling With the dark and crafty foe. Yes, their pilgrimage was shorter. And their triumphs sooner won; Oh, how lovingly they'll greet me When the toils of life are done. I know they are watching at the portal; poor They are waiting at the door— Waiting only for my coming, All my loved ones gone before. MRS. THOMAS M. CRUMP Miss Ella Davis Ivy, of Danville, Va. spent a few days here last week, the guest of her cousins, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Blackwell, Jr., of 211 East Eighteenth Street. Mr. Thacker Archer, the proprietor of Miller's Hotel, at Second and Leigh Streets has removed the real estate offices of Archer & Miller just around the corner into the office occupied by the Manhattan Taxi, or the Second Street Taxi Service, where he will continue to do his prosperous business. His former place of business has been leased for a confectionery. Nelson Williams, Jr., A.M., who was recently badly injured by a car on the Cary Street Road, is rapidly improving and will be out of the St. Philips Hospital soon. Get into the Planet Automobile Contest before August 15th. After that date the struggle is down to "brass tacks." REV. E. C. SMITH, pastor of Second Baptist Church, of South Richmond, Va., will preach a special sermon at Sixth Mt Zion Baptist Church Sunday, August 7, 1927, at 3:30 P.M. Public is invited. The interest in The Planet is on the increase. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1927 A MONUMENT TO COLORED FOLKS A bronze statue of an old colored man, heroic in size, and appealingly lifelike, was recently erected in Natchitoches, La. The pedestal, about eight feet high, has upon its side a bronze tablet with this inscription: ERECTED BY THE CITY OF NATCHITOChes IN GRATEFUL RESOLUTION OF THE ARDUOUS AND FAITHFUL SERVICES OF THE GOOD DARKIES OF This unusual statue is in the center of a public square on the bank of Cane River. It faces south, toward the main street of the little city; at the left, a few yards away, is the historic stream with an old steamboat landing; at the right, at an equal distance, is the Jefferson Highway, the great road from Winnipeg to New Orleans. The old colored man looks as if he had just shuffled into the square and recognized some of his white folks; he has removed his battered hat and is bowing and smiling his joyous greeting. His kindly, wrinkled features, gnarled hands and big feet show him a genuine type. He seems ready to tell an Uncle Remus story to any of the wondering white children who come to play in the grass nearby. The Cane was the Red River until about the time of the Civil War, when a flood came and the Red broke over into Bayou le Bon Dieu and made itself a new channel six miles east of the town. The rich Cane River country was a region of great cotton plantations, teeming with life and industry. In the old days steamboats plied between Natchitoches and New Orleans and served the hospitable, easy-going planters whose homes were among the live oaks and magnolias near the river landings. Relations between the races have always been very pleasant in this town and the country roundabout—not only in slavery days, but down to the present. Many white people in the parish have been nursed or served by the old-time "uncles" and "aunties," and a warm remains on each side. ROANOKE LETTER Thomas Gregory died here Monday suddenly. He became ill in the night and collapsed before medical assistance could be rendered. He attended church Sunday night. Mrs. Anna Black, of 913 Fifth Street, N.

The Pleasure Makers' Club of Richmond wishes to announce that its Annual Excursion will be on Tuesday, August 9th, 1927, and takes this method to inform its patrons of the change of schedule. Instead of leaving the City Wharf on the STEAMER ISLANDER at 9:00 A.M., it will leave at 7:30 A.M. A special invitation has been extended to our many friends by the Committee in charge. The Pleasure Makers have been running this outing for five (5) seasons and still hold the record for carrying the best Colored Excursion out of Richmond. The Hardy Brothers will furnish music for the occasion. After leaving Richmond, stops will be made at Wilcox's Wharf to take on the Charles City people, the New Kent people and City Point; also Bermuda Hundreds. The reason for changing the hours of leaving is in order to give the people more time on the grounds at Claremont, giving them at least three hours to inspect the school, etc. ADULTS, $1.50 CHILDREN, 75c J.

Mr. Hardy Bros.' Orchestra furnished music. The Corley Company earlier in the afternoon had conveyed a large piano on the elevator to the roof. A stiff breeze was blowing all night, while the residents of the city were sweltering in a blistering summer heat. The entertainment will continue The twenty-second anniversary of Mt. Naupati Baptist Church and its pastor, Rev. M. H. Payne. D. D. was ended Friday night. Mr. John L. Ballard read the Scriptures. Prayer was offered by Deacon Robinson of the Sixth Mt.

Taylor, president of the Second Street Savings Bank, and secretary-treasurer, delivered the address. He announced that speaking was not his forte. He then proceeded to talk to please every one present, and "Service" was his subject. Rev Payne had started the work at a mission in Seventeenth Street in 1902. He outgrew his surroundings and removed to the neighborhood of the R. F. & P. Shops. From there he came to his present location. He and his residents. He commented upon the fact that there was no noise and no dispute in this church. He had known Rev Payne for thirty-three years. "I feel," said he, "that Mt. Naupati Baptist Church has in this preacher man in his preacher place. Mr. Taylor has succeeded me, a glowing tribute to Editor John Mitchell, Jr., who occupied a seat upon the rostrum, and who was then introduced by the master of ceremonies. Mr. Mitchell praised Rev. Dr. M. H. Payne and complimented the work of the church. Miss Ellen C. Jones rendered a selection. Mr. C. Bernard Gilpin was master of ceremonies and presided with much grace and dignity. Then Editor John Mitchell, Jr., was requested to present the tokens of appreciation to Rev. Dr. Payne and his Madame. A large number were handed from individual organizations of the church. The Richmond Beneficial Insurance Co. sent the church $25 to be presented to Rev. Dr. Payne. Then refreshments were served, and all left much elated over the exercises. RALLY DAY.

STORM CALMED DOWN The storm which has prevailed in the Elk's camp for the past few months seems to have calmed down to normalcy, but it has got the rank and file thinking, and they are now asking the question. Has the time arrived to change the head of the organization in order to guard against perpetuating an individual in the office, and to give other bright minds in the Order an opportunity to steer the gigantic ship of Elkdom? The logical contender for the office of Grand Exalted Ruler, according to his campaign committee, is J. Dalmus Steele who was a candidate for the same office in 1925 at Richmond. He caused more unrest to Finley Wilson and the Grand Legal Adviser, the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was the savior of the Wilson reign at that time, than any other contender for that office since Wilson has held the reins. It is said that at one time during the Richmond Convention that Steele's election was all but assured. His campaign committee say they will not stop at doing a Richmond, but that they will put their candidate across, as their headquarters are flooded with letters from various parts of the country declaring that there must be a change in the head of the Order. JUDGE HENRY A CANDIDATE Judge Henry, of Philadelphia, is also making a strong bid for the office, and it is more than likely when the final showdown comes that the weaker contender for the office will throw his votes to the stronger, in order to assure the defeat of the present incumbent.

It is the greatest achievement in Essex history. We are now showing this Greater EssexSuper-Six.

This is benefiting the American consumer, but it is tending to diminish business profits. Only the most aggressive and efficient companies are showing gains in earnings this year compared with 1926. The influence of competition and price declines is especially marked in the oasis iron and steel industry where, with few exceptions earnings for important companies are lower. One of the exceptions is this Otsi Steel Co. Cleveland. This company has just cleared earnings for the second quarter of 1927 of $683,482 an increase of 30 per cent over the corresponding period of 1926. "The improvement in earnings for Otis is partly due to economies of production, and partly to expanding sales of steel to the automobile trade," said President E J Kula of the company. "It was accomplished in the face of the lowest level of steel prices since 1922. "At present the steel, trade is passing through the usual summer tull. This is accentuated by the slackening in the automobile industry due to the preparation of new models for the market. With their introduction, sales and production of cars should quicken materially. "The closing months of the year promote well for general business" continued Mr. Kulsa, "because general industrial purchasing power remains high and buying power on the farm is making substantial improvement with the rise of many farm products.

Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitin' thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve 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 highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street, Richmond, Va Richmond, Va. I received your treatment O.

The Prince of Wales and His Canadian E-P Ranch E-P RANCH, ALBERTA, CANADA BARON RENFREW (PRINCE OF WALES) THE PRINCE (RIGHT) AND ALBERTA NEIGHBORS This Week By Arthur Brisbane IMPONDERABLE ETHER. HEROES ARE GENTLE. A SICK WHALE. BE JUST TO ELIJAH. Sir Oliver Lodge says the ether is the most important reality of the physical universe. Life and mind are associated with matter only indirectly through the ether, says he, and the ether is primarily man's habitation, not pseudo "solid matter," earth houses, automobiles and money that we call the real world. Matter reduced to atoms is only electric particles revolving at frightful speed around an electric centre. The real thing is ether. Science tells us the ether is like a great stream of water, flowing on forever, and matter like a fisherman not spread across the stream through which the ether flows, that ether is essential to the cosmic scheme, that Newton's law of gravitation should not work with water, and that ether is solid reality in the realm of ideas. But for the average man it is hard to conceive of ether as a reality. It seems as unreal as the fourth dimension. Our minds are adjusted to the work we have to do, which isn't big or very important. Thomas A. Edison was three days in New York's Botanical Gardens library, searching for some new rubber plant. He may find it, but it will probably be chemistry, not botany that will supply the new rubber. Elasticity, plus wearing quality, are needed. Human intelligence will produce something better than rubber, just as it produced something better than wood, in the bronze and iron ages. Be careful if you meet latroductus Mutilus. It's ordinary name is the "widow" and it's the deadliest on earth, possessing a bite to death within twenty-four hours. The black spider has recently been than a dozen deaths on it. On ground minnows keep spiders and lays out of The Prince of W THE PRINCE (RIGHT) AND AL "Far from the madding crowd," the Prince of Wales takes a rest now and then on his E-P Ranch near High River in the rolling foothills of the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. This year, for the third time the prince, who is Baron Renfrew when on vacation returned to Canada on the Empress of Australia and after various ceremonial visits Canadian cities in the East deprived for the E-P Ranch with Premier Stanley Baldwin, of Great Britain as his guest to lead the life of a cowboy beyond the public gaze and unmolested by reporters and newspaper photographers. As the Prince usually has not much more privacy than a goldish the Prince praises the house. Let them carry on their ancient war of the open. Real courage is always gentle. Homer's "Milestud Manners and Guestest Heart" are part of a fearless nature. Of all photographs taken of our Atlantic livers, the finest shows commander Byrd string beside a wounded French soldier, helpless in the wheel chair. The expression on Byrd's face, pitying and tender, is that of a real hero. Happy the mother and father of such a son. Commander Byrd, always in search of interesting occupation, plans a flight to the South Pole, and before the new year he will be flying through the coldest region on earth. He is determined to be the first man to fly over both poles. In centuries to come, what we call our North and South Poles will again be warm, and some other spots on the earth will be the poles. Oil wells that Standard Oil has locate inside the Arctic region will supply nearby gas stations—if men still use power as primitive as gasoline in that future day. Gas by then will probably be completely out of date, as whale oil is now, for lighting. But do not be frightened into selling good oil stocks. If told that the sickness of a sperm whale in the Atlantic Ocean could set up an ancient sailor man in a comfortable chicken business, you might say "impossible." But it happened When whales don't feel well, lumps of a substance called "Ambergris," valuable to perfume manufacturers, form inside of them. Jerimiah Pratt, seventy-four years old, lookout on a schooner, saw gulls hovering over a big lump of Ambergris, worth $12,500. With that money, Sailor Pratt will retire to a chicken ranch and thousands of women will go around perfumed by the Ambergris. Uldine Uley, fifteen-year-old girl revivalist, who says Billy Sunday is greater than Mussolini because Sunday conquered the devil, is in New York City saving souls. She saved forty last Sunday, and doubtless they will show gratitude when they meet her in heaven. Miss Uley, who brings everything close to her hearers, says: "I lindbergh was not the first to make a non-stop flight—the Lord did it, before him, by flying from heaven to earth and then from earth to heaven." It's an excellent thought, but not fair to Elijah, who, in a "chariot of fire and horsges of fire" went up "by a whirlwind into heaven." See second Kings, chapter two, verse eleven. This happened 900 years before the birth of Christ. Wales and His Canada E-P RANCH ALBERTA CANADA ALBERTA NEIGHBORS "and his ranch have a big place in his heart." When on his ranch the Prince of Wales wears a ten-gallon hat and regular cowboy outfit. does his trick at the ranch work and rides a few of the spirted cow ponies. Guy Weadick, originator and manager of the Calgary Stampede, says the Prince is a good horseman, despite reports to the contrary "We all get bucked of now and then and Baron Renrew is no exception. He rides amu well out here in Alberta and he likes the Canadian saddler. He is a of publicity on account of his prominence out it hit the grit, nobody notice it." On his first trip to Canada, the Prince of Wales bought the big ranch and gave it the name of his brand— THE RICHMOND PLANET.

Many prizes have been won by the offspring of his blooded stock and great benefit has been given to Western Canada because of his real, practical interest in stock raising.

Ordinary gasoline gives the performance results sought through special and higher-priced fuels. By Hudson's method of vaporizing raw gasoline that enters the combustion chamber, oil dilution is prevented, and heat formerly wasted through the exhaust becomes useful power. The new Hudson motor delivers a flood of rugged power from standing start closely resembling the mighty and elastic power of the steam engine. Yet at all speeds this power is buoyant, vivacious and instantly answerable to the lightest touch of the throttle. In it are combined all advantages of speed, stop and performance of the high compression motor, with the smooth flexibility of low compression type. In all ways today's Hudson is the greatest ever produced. And it is natural that its public reception surpasses anything in Hudson history.
