THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA OCT. 82 1927 STATE LIBRARY THREATENED BYLYNCHERS Race Man Charged with Heinous Crime--Mentally Unbalanced To be Tried Nov. 1st at Newport News. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 50 THREA BY Race Man Crime--M To be Tried SUFFOLK, VA., Oct. 15.—Charged with murdering a 14-year-old girl after attacking her on the road near Smithfield yesterday, a Negro believed by Isle of Wight authorities to be Shirley Winnegan, was spirited out of the county today and lodged in jail at Portsmouth when feeling was reported running high in the home town of the girl. Winnegan's arrest came soon after a Negro youth named Godwin informed Sheriff W. M. Chapman that Winnegan had been seen near the scene of the crime, one of the most brutal in the history of Isle of Wight County. So far as can be learned there was no outcry from the young girl, but when David Godwin, father of the youth, who had seen Winnegan close to the Barlow home, went to Sheriff Chapman and told him, he felt there was something wrong. An investigation disclosed the dead body of the girl. At the scene of the crime there was every evidence of a terrific struggle, it being the theory of those who were there that she was unconscious when attacked and then was choked to death. Dr. Rae Parker; county coroner, issued a statement after the body had been found that there was no doubt of the double crime and that the girl had put up a terrific fight for her honor and life. He also was of the opinion that the girl had been attacked in the roadway leading to her home and dragged into a cornfield. The Negro had been employed on a farm near that of the Barlow's about a mile from Smithfield. He was married and had children. He was about 25 years old. He had lived in the community all of his life, it was said. Funeral services for the victim were held this afternoon at Mill Swamp Church in the upper part of Isle of Wight County. Even though the accused is out of the town the fury of the residents over the attack has not subsided, it was stated in Smithfield today. REV. BROWN PREACHES Rev. A. W. Brown preached at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Sunday morning to a large audience, even the galleries of the spacious edifice were filled. Clerk N. W. Bouldin gave detailed information of the church work. Chairman Branch, of the Deacon Board, announced that a valuable ring lost in the church had been found and the owner could get it by calling on him. He declared that this church could guarantee the return of any article lost there. Expressed Thanks Deacon Brown, who had been sick, expressed thanks to the church for favors shown. Deacon Quinn Shelton made a powerful appeal for funds, after which the collection was lifted and then Rev. A. W. Brown emphasized the necessity of giving God the best for sacrifice. Great Discourse For more than thirty minutes he delivered a sermon replete with, logic, rhetoric and genuine eloquence. He aroused enthusiastic responses from the pulpit to the door. He is a masterly orator and he possesses a rare gift in his magnetic oratory in the pulpit. He expressed his gratification at seeing Editor John Mitchell, Jr., present and insisted that the editor have a word to say. For about five minutes the visitor gave his impressions of both the speaker and the church. Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church is making great progress under its present pastor. MANY MEMBERS INITIATED Prophet Elijah Lodge, No. 701, was set up about eleven months ago at Crewe, Va. Capital City, No. 11, Degree Team journeyed to that place September 30th and initiated twenty-one bucks into the Improved Benevolent Order of Elks of the World. The hospitality to the visitors was magnificent. The repast was heartily enjoyed and the members of the Order at Crewe as well as the candidates were delighted. After worshipping in the lecture room for three months, the congregation of the First Baptist Church will worship in its most beautiful auditorium Sunday, October 23 After extensive improvements the church presents a very attractive appearance. . . There will be three great services next Sunday, when large numbers of members and friends are expected. The public is very cordially invited to attend. . . At the 11 o'clock hour the pastor Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. will preach a special sermon. The choir has prepared excellent music. At 3 P.

Great rivalry exists between the men and the women. The answer to the question, Who is is Who in the Church, the Men or the Women? will be solved in the result of the effort next Sunday. Much enthusiasm has been in evidence on the part of the various committees working for the success of Sunday's services. The pastor, officers and members will be happy to greet the friends of this great occasion. TOURIST CAMP FOR RICHMOND Federal Automobile Association Promotes Touring. A new tourist camp for Richmond has been established at the Monroe place, located at Stop 12, Petersburg Pike. The Federal Automobile Association, a National Organization of colored motorists, headquarters at Washington, D. C., has been active during the past week in this city. The F. A. A. was established nearly two years ago, as a result of the policy adopted by its contemporary organization, the A. A. A., in limiting their membership to the white race. It was deemed expedient by a group of influential men in Washington that Negroes should have the benefit of a National Organization to promote good will and provide facilities and accommodations for touring. It is seldom that Negro tourists are seen on the magnificent highways that were built to induce taxpayers generally to enjoy some of the wonders of our own scenery. The Federal Automobile Association, in establishing a tourist camp at Richmond, is adding another link in the chain of camps that are being established throughout the country, and with its vast membership will be a powerful factor in influencing cross-country traveling. HIGH DAY HAS BEEN PLANNED AT FOUNTAIN BAPTIST CHURCH, 32ND AND P STS. Sunday, October 23rd, marks the closing of first anniversary of the pastor of Fountain Baptist Church. All day there will be different quartets, pastors and their congregation. Each night the church has been filled to its capacity. All St. John's Watchmen will be present at 3 P. M. Grand Master W. R. Wright will address the congregation. The public is cordially invited. Rev. A. R. Vanlandingham, pastor, Vanilla Shaw, church reporter. The boys were yelling. They told of the Harvest Sale at the J. F. M. store. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1927 (Atlanta, Ga. Independent) Petition for injunction to protect the sum tied up in a $10,000 check, to prevent further assessment by the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, a colored organization, and to restrain several banks from paying out any funds, will be filed in Superior Court today by S. S. Humbert, and fifteen others, against Mary Nelson Jones, of Augusta, Grand Commander of the Order of Calanthe in Georgia; W. L. Powell, of Savannah, Grand Keeper of Deposits, and other officers, as well as the Wage Earners' Savings Bank, Savannah Savings & Real Estate Corporation, Citizens & Southern National Bank, and the Fourth National Bank of Macon. Judge J. Saxton Daniel signed a restraining order in the case yesterday in Claxton for Kravitch & Wiseman, and J. G. Lemon, attorneys for the plaintiff. It will be made of record today. The order is returnable in Savannah on October 26, before Judge Daniel. He has the privilege of hearing the case since Judge Meldrim was without the jurisdiction when the case was first presented. Negroes in several portions of Georgia will be directly interested in the litigation. The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, the Negro organization, whose headquarters are in Chicago, is alleged to be erecting a new building known as the Pythian Temple at a cost of $1,000,000. An assessment has been made against the K. of P. Lodges in Georgia for $35,000, and also a similar assessment has been made against the Order of Calanthe, the latter organization being for men and women. The K. of P. Lodges are men's bodies. The two are fraternally connected. The Calanthe organization, the petition states, paid $15,000 last year, and also drew another check for $10,000 on July 29 as payments on its assessment. But a stop was put on the $10,000 check. In June, the Georgia Calanthe had a membership of 23,295 and outstanding insurance on these members at $150 each, making a total of $3,400,000. In the treasury at that time, the organization had $55,000 for administration and to take care of death claims, unpaid at that time were $3,000 in checks and $10,000 in death claims, leaving $43,000 in the treasury. From that amount was subtracted the payment of $15,000 to the Supreme Lodge, leaving a net total of $28,000 in the treasury. The membership is taking the present action to protect the insurance department of the organization since there are policy holders to the amount of $3,400,000 with only $28,000 ready to meet any occasion of emergency. Further allegations state the Grand Lodge has assessed the Knights of Pythias one dollar per capita, and there are 40,000 members in Georgia. This assessment of $40,000 is due on November 1. At some length the petition sets forth the act of the officers is without authority of the Subordinate Lodges, erection of the structure in Chicago is illegal because the organization hasn't authority to invest the money in that manner, and also that it is a risky investment because the organization lacks the authority to use the money as trust funds. The Shepherds Chorus was entered by Miss Nannie Bowers, in her home, 908 112 W. Clay Street. After rehearsal the Chorus was ushered into the dining room, led by Mrs. Leucia J. Lewis, where the table was laden with delicacies of the season. Messrs. Jans Basfield, James Kyle, Thomas Leccoss and others were presented. Mrs. Mary Morgan presided at the punch bowl. At this point Miss Emily O. Lewis was presented with a handsome bouquet of American Beauty roses and cut flowers by Mr. George Oliver 23. 11:30 A. M. and 8:00 P. M. Among those present were Mrs. Julia Austin of Asheville, N. C. Mrs. Ora Holmes, Mrs. Mary Crump Mrs. Sarah Best, Mrs. Mary Wilkerson, Mrs. Martha Young. Mrs. Louisa J. Lewis in befitting words wished the Chorus a successful year. Supreme Chancellor Green Makes Reply Denies Alleged Statements-Bitter Denunciation of the Far South Opposes Racial Conditions. New Orleans, La. Sept. 20, 1927. Editor, The Houston Informer, 409-11 Smith Street, Houston, Texas. Sir: Copy of The Houston Informer under date of August 27, 1927, was received by me on my visitation after the close of the supreme lodge session Chicago, Illinois, August 16-20, 1927. I would not depart from my rule of ignoring criticisms of my course in the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., by newspapers or otherwise, were it not for the fact, Mr. Editor, your columns contained the following words charged against me as having been uttered by me during my address to the supreme lodge in opposition to holding the session of 1929 in Dallas, Texas. Answering the Charges In your long editorial containing more than half of the editorial matter of your newspaper, I find the following: "Going a bit further, Mr. Green charged that the white South would insult every Negro woman who might attend the supreme session at Dallas." You know, Mr. Editor, if you heard my address, that I made no such charges against the white South, and you also know, and I know that any colored lady is as safe from moral insult in any city in the far South as she would be in any city in the North, East or West. I also note in quotation marks, the following: "The South is no decent place for any black man's wife, daughter, mother or sweetheart." Did Not Use Words If you heard my address, Mr. Editor, and I presume you did, you know I did not use the words quoted in your editorial, and if anyone else told you I used such words, you know me well enough to know I did not use such words, and if you had believed that I used such words, you could have easily ascertained from me as to whether I had used such words or not in referring to the South. I not only did not make such a statement in my address, but did not use any words that could in any way be construed as expressing a sentiment from me concerning the South. No person but a fool would insult their audience by using such words, when fully half of the audience he was addressing lived in the South, including the speaker himself. You are hereby requested, Mr. Editor, to publicly withdraw the charges made against me in the above quotations from your editorial columns of August 27, 1927. Words Misrepresented I hope, Mr. Editor, you would not consider your case so weak, or your cause so desperate, that you had to misrepresent the words used by me in opposition to the supreme lodge holding its 1929 session in Dallas, Texas, as an excuse for your defeat. I have no objections to you quoting what I did say in opposition to the supreme lodge meeting in Dallas, Texas, in 1929, because I expressed my opinion concerning the supreme lodge, and the supreme court and the uniform rank department meeting in Dallas, Texas, in 1929, and have no apologies to make, and no excuses to offer for what I actually said. In the beginning of your editorial, you mentioned the injection of sectionalism into the contest for the next convention city of the supreme lodge, Chicago. If any sectionalism was injected into the contest, it was done by the representatives of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Texas, and not by those opposing the supreme lodge meeting in Dallas, Texas, in 1929. It is true. "That the supreme chancellor is himself a Southerner, and the grand chancellor of a Pythian jurisdiction in a Dixie state." Proud of the Fact I am proud of the fact that I am a Southerner; I was born in the South, and have always lived in the South, and expect to continue living in the South, and therefore know the South, and was in a position to advise the supreme lodge as to the matter of conditions and to give good reasons why the supreme lodge should not bring the supreme court and the uniform rank encampment to Dallas, Texas, or any other city in the far South. Our pretended surprise, Mr. Editor, at my attitude in the matter of the meeting of the supreme lodge (Continued on page 8). Editor Richardson's Caustic Remarks Is Merciless in His Criticism of S. W. Green--Defends Dallas, Texas. In a lengthy and voluminous letter, which appeared in last week's issue of The Informer. Hon. S. W. Green, of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., took umbrage at and disagreed with the editor of this paper anent reported statements made by the Pelican City fraternalist during the supreme lodge of the order, which appeared in The Informer under date of August 27, 1927. These reported remarks were made by Mr. Green when he took the floor at the Forum Hall, 324 East Forty-third Street, Chicago, Illinois, Saturday evening, August 20, 1927, and "low-rated" the South as being wholly unfit and too uncivilized for the supreme body to hold one biennial session at Dallas, Texas, or any other city of the "far South." Now, after his speech is a matter of record and almost ancient history, Mr. Green becomes incensed and demands The Informer to make a public retraction of his (Green's) reported scurrilous attack upon the South; charging that his remarks were incorrectly quoted, and, apparently endeavoring to so muddy the waters as to conceal the real issue in this would-be controversy. Editor Present The editor of The Informer was present when the 1929 convention city was selected, and heard all the speeches made in defense of Dallas and Indianapolis, the two contesting cities for the next biennial session of the Pythian order; and we are of the opinion that Mr. Green was so perturbed in body and mind that he did not really know what he was uttering at the time he made the remark that "the South is no decent place for any black man's wife, daughter, mother or sweetheart." Since this utterance of his has, perforce, escaped his memory, we wish to remind the supreme chancellor that when he made this statement the supreme representatives hissed and booed him to such an extent that the presiding officer (the grand chancellor of West Virginia jurisdiction) was compelled to stop his (Green's) speech and beg the brethren for order and proper respect to the speaker; and then Mr. Green added that he had listened to the proponents of Dallas and he thought they ought to listen to his reasons why they should not consider Dallas for the 1929 supreme session. (We wonder does the supreme chancellor recollect this tense and ticklish moment in the deliberations?) 1 That Near Lynching Mr. Green further contends that he did not wage a "most bitter and subtle fight against Dallas and the entire South," when, as a matter of fact, the supreme chancellor recited a near-lynching bee in Florida, with him as the principal character—when he was ejected from a Pullman drawing room and threatened with a necktie party, for daring to ride "like white fokes" in said Southern State. He cited this incident to show the delegates how dangerous it would be for them to invade the South in Pullman cars, and further stated that he was always glad when an opportunity afforded itself for him to cross the Ohio River. Anti-Texas and anti-South propaganda was dispensed freely at both convention halls by Green henchmen and hangers-on, and many wild, inflammatory and lurid statements made about Texas and the South. The veracity of this reported utterance of Mr. Green can be verified by any number of the supreme representatives—even by some of the supreme chancellor's erstwhile staunch supporters, who left the Windy City session with a different opinion of their worthy leader and fraternal chieftain. Without being accused of violating any proprieties, but in order to establish the truthfulness of our editorial contentions, we herewith reproduce a statement from the new chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Tennessee jurisdiction, which corroborates what The Informer said about the supreme lodge. The letter follows. Pulaski, Tenn., Sept. 29, 1927 Hon. C. F. Richardson, Editor-President Houston Informer, 409-11 Smith Street, Houston, Texas. Dear Sir and Brother: I am so highly pleased to have read the article and editorial in your valuable paper touching on the action of the supreme lodge at the session just moved to Chicago. I am certainly in hearty accord with the ideas conveyed therein, and I am delighted to inform you that every expression meets my full approval. I was present at the meeting, and I am in position to know that you have Body Shipped to South Carolina stated facts in every utterance, and you may rest assured that the representatives of this State can be relied upon to help adjust all matters pertaining to Pythianism and the general welfare of the people at large. We are certainly proud of the fight we made in defense of right, and we intend to continue to hold up the principles of Pythianism as long as friendship warms the heart of man. A frightful automobile accident took place about one mile this side of Powhatan Courthouse, Va., when a Buick car, driven by Willie Stucky, left the road on a curve and turned somersault, two or three times. The chauffeur was least injured of the car full of people. They were all brought to this city and placed in St. Philips Hospital. Mrs. Ophelia Jackson, of 604 North Sixth Street, was killed in Enclosed find my check for subscription. Yours in F., C. & B., N. N. REYNOLD, Grand Chancellor. The supreme chancellor also suggested that The Informer inform the reading public that Indianaapis won over Dallas by 60 to 47, rather than by 55 to 47, and gave a victory in this respect was an empty one particularly in view of his hostile and obstinate attitude towards Dallas and the South, and with the delegates being forced to vote their choice of convention city by acclamation. To be frank, Dallas, Texas, and the South really won a moral victory! No Secret Ballot Since the only free expression of a man's suffrage is by secret ballot, why didn't the supreme chancellor submit the motion made and duly seconded that the method of voting for the 1929 convention city be done by ballot? Why did the supreme chancellor refuse to put this motion before the supreme body, if he felt that he had his case already won after his tirade and invective against Dallas, Texas, and the South? Why did Mr. Green dilly-dally and act like an amateur presiding officer when this motion was properly submitted to the supreme body? Let him answer these queries! During the course of Mr. Green's remarks against and libel of Texus and the South, he was repeatedly interrupted by delegates—not all from the South, either—who said "Why don't you leave the South, then?" As a matter of fact, so bitter, vitriolic and sulphuric was the Green attack and box barrage against Texas and the South, that Dr. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a resident of Waco, Texas, who answered the Green charges and oral fusilade, opened his rebuttal and reply with the statement that any man who is ashamed of his wife, should divorce her; meaning that any man who lives in a section of the country and entertains such ideas against and about his section as the supreme chancellor does, should remove to some other section of the country. Mr. Green should bear in mind that he does not head nor direct a sectional order, but a national organization; whose main financial and numerical strength lies in Southern jurisdictions; and that people who bear all the freight, should, at some time, have some say as to how their goods should be delivered, and the like. REV. DR. R. V. PEYTON TAKES CHARGE Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton took formal charge of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church last Sunday. Rev. M. H. Payne preached in the morning and Rev.

The chauffeur was least injured of the car full of people. They were all brought to this city and placed in St. Philips Hospital. Mrs. Ophelia Jackson, of 604 North Sixth Street, was killed instantly. The clothing of those in the car was literally torn to shreds and covering had to be furnished to cover their nakedness. Great Speed A man in the neighborhood is reported to have said that he saw the accident, and the car was running at about sixty miles per hour when it struck the curve. Mrs. Jackson and her party were en route to Chase City, but decided to go by Thyne Institute to see her son, Edgar Jackson, who is a student there. She leaves a son, mother, three sister and two brothers to mourn their loss. Her body was shipped Thursday to Darlington, S.C., by Funeral Directors W. I. Johnson Sons. One of Mrs. Jackson's sisters is Mrs. Alma Brown, of 315 East Leigh Street. The car was one mass of wreckage. Sam Donaldson was badly injured. A party named Bruce was also in the car. SHEPHERD NOTES. We received the sad intelligence of the death of the director Austin Johnson, of Fredericksburg, Va., Friday, October 14. The Grand Shepherd immediately issued a call for the Executive Committee to meet in the Home Office Saturday 3:30 P. M. in perfect plans for Director Johnson's funeral. Suitable plans were worked out, including the ordering of a very beautiful design in the form of the emblem of the Order the Shepherd's Crook." A party in five autocities attended the funeral, including members of the Executive Board, the Advisory Board and Grand Lodge Officers. Promptly at 12:30 last Sunday the party left the home of the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, 1607 Brook Road.

Then the body in charge of Undertaker Kay was conveyed to Shillow Baptist Church, Old Site, of which the deceased was a member of the Deacon Board Telegrams from Directors who could not be present and a letter of condolence from the Executive and Advisory Boards were read by Secretary A. C. Clark. A number of letters of condolence were read from the various organizations of which the deceased was a member. Folds of the surrounding districts also sent testimonials. Madam C. B. Gilpin sang a very sweet and soothing solo. Rev. B. H Hester, the pastor, then delivered a touching and sympathetic ecology He pictured Austin Johnson as a Christian gentleman of altruistic tendency, one who valued not his life as dear unto himself. It was a true portrait. The Grand Shepherd then made some very appropriate remarks. The funeral cortex then proceeded to the cemetery where the remains of Director Austin Johnson were laid in their last resting place. In the death of Director Austin Johnson, the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem lost one of its founders and builders Eureka Fold, which has been for a number of years and is at the present time the largest Fold in the Brotherhood, stands as a living memorial to the life and worth of Shepherd Austin Johnson.

Delving For The Romantic History of America's Earliest Permanent Colony THE OLD CITY GATES, REMNANT OF THE ONCE FORTIFIED CITY. From Old Seville Tell How Spanish Founder of St. Augustine Beheaded 250 French Soldiers After Breakfasting Their Chief. Records Show Spanish King Complained That Fort Marion Costing $80,000,000 Must Be Made of Silver Pieces. K V ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.—It is due to the efforts of a small band of men and women competing the St. Augustine Missionary Fight and the intimate history of this ancient city is being brought to light and its beautiful medieval structures have been preserved. St. Augustine is the Mother City of America, the oldest permanent European colony on United States soil. It was founded in 1655 forty-two years before the James Adams old town-city of Virginia which was established in 1607, and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. Yet few know the early history of old St. Augustine though a million school boys and girls have belonged to that classic of the Pilgrim Colony, the courtship of Miles Standish, immortalized in Longfellow's poem, Indeed, the tourists who journeyed through New England are amazed by the great number of interesting old colonial times of the tracts, forts,纹 of early skirmishes with the Indians, museums, and quaint old colonial homes with their picturesque furniture are to be found throughout the original thirteen states. Monuments have been set upon every notable battlefield and relics of the lives of famous men of their time ranging from those who are scarcely mentioned in the histories to such gallant figures as that of George Washington have been carefully preserved Indeed, it is possible to follow Washington from early mankind to his death from the carefully preserved "memorabilia" of the Father of His Country. The members of the St. Augustine Historical Society keenly appreciated Oil Has Big Part in S of "Fire AID TO SMOKE-FATERS Oil-burners are doing much and will do a great deal more to reduce America's tremendous losses from fire according to C D Williams of Bloomington, Il. president of the Williams Oil-Matic Heating Corporation, world's largest makers of oil-burners. the fact that each year the records of early America become more valuable 'b the generations to come and they have sought to gather as many early records as possible before it became too late. This was a difficult task as many of the official documents had been removed. Spain during the Middle Ages under Spanish jurisdiction. But the society has been singularly successful in its search for long-forgetten documents while the many old Spanish buildings have been carefully restored, preserving the foreign atmosphere of the old city. Today St. Augustine speaks eloquently of mediaeval times. Narrow streets with their quaint coquina houses and romantically overhanging balconies and gardens of rare tropical flowers, the fanning gardens and shrubs, of which fascinating glimpse are caught behind high sheltering walls of stone, are eloquent of old times. Mediaeval Fort Marlon. The most conspicuous restoration completed by the society is that of old Fort Marlion, formerly Fort San Marco. This colossal stone fortress covers more than five acres of ground and is pronounced the finest example of medieval military architecture in the New World. It was built by Spanish engineers and so much time and money were consumed in its construction that the King, John VI, wrote commendation to the Governor at St. Augustine that truly the fort must be built of silver pieces of money rather than stone. The fort is surrounded by a moat and built in the form of a maltese cross with water channels on the harbor side. It was begun in 1638 and completed 118 Success the Prevention Week Twelve thousand lives more than $500,000,000 in property lost last year the tremendous toll in this country, said MI whims.

It fell before an enemy. It has been declared a national monument by the War Department. The St. Augustine Historical Society maintains a large collection of relics within the fort; and it also maintains a headquarters in the restored old mission building, more popularly known as the oldest house, to which a fine historical library has been annexed. The society was organized about twenty years ago. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, now its president, was its largest charter contributor, and Miss Emily L. Wilson is librarian. At the headquarters are to obscure periods in St. Augustine's intimate history. Much of the information had to be delivered from ancient archives in Spain, for Florida passed into the sovereignty of Great Britain in 1763 where it remained for twenty years and on their departure the Spanish officials took many of the records with them. All Europe was enveloped in religious strife at the time of the founding of St. Augustine. A few years before, in 1532, had occurred the awful massacre of the Eruguents at Vasy, a little town in Champagne mapa, and writings of the early when St. Augustine was an important Spanish governmental seat. The Ancient Plaza. The ancient Plaza de la Constitucion is the natural civic center of St Augustine and looks out toward Mantasana Bay. Here under the massive live oak is situated the old Spanish Governor's mansion, now used as the United States post office, with its old Spanish architecture still unmolested by any touch of the modern. Plates upon the building recount that it was erected in 1588 and occupied as a government building during the entire period of Spanish control. In the Plaza also stands a marble shaft erected in 1812 to commemorate the adoption of a Spanish constitution more liberal than the one which has been in existence. Its erection was premature, for the reactionaries in Spain triumphed and the new constitution failed. The magnificent cathedral still stands. It still retains its original façade, although it was burned in 1897. St. George Street, leading from the plaza, is out 17 feet in width.

Much of the information had to be delved from ancient archives in Spain, for Florida passed into the sovereignty of Great Britain in 1763 where it remained for twenty years and on their departure in 1785 took much of the records with them. All Europe was enveloped in religious strife at the time of the founding of St. Augustine. A few years before, in 1523, had occurred the awful massacre of the Ruguenots at Vassy, a little town in Champagne ```markdown ``` DON PEDRO MENDEZENE WH FOUNDED ST AUGUSTINE IN 1952 IMPERSONATED BY W.H.NOBLES OLDEST HOUSE HOME OF THE SOCIETY IN ST AUGUSTINE: tained by Menendez. When the French, securely bound, delivered themselves to his mercy, Menendez called upon them to recant their Protestant faith. Sixteen recanted and 250 were beheaded. When Capt Ribaut was told of his impending death, he cried: "Domine, memento met. (Lord, remember me.) From the earth we come and to the earth we must return. Twenty years more or less of life does not matter." Despite the massacre Menendez proved to be a wise administrator and was rewarded by the king with immortal grants of land in Florida. He left no direct descendants but his property passed to his relatives who for more than 150 years bore the title of Adelantado and Ruler of the Coast and Land of Florida. For centuries St. Augustine was a military garrison and ecclesiastical headquarters. It had become quite an important post when it was sacked by Sir Francis Drake in 1586. Nevertheless it people suffered many hardships and contests with the indians. In later years Spain expended large sums upon the post including a great stone church that the governor with later improve 'by our government. When in 1816 Florida passed under the Stars and Apea. St. Augustine was already a curious old city. VE TIME IN DRESS s Help Milady to Hurry Ha WOMEN SAVE THE Modern Garments Help M WOMEN SAVE TIME IN DRESSING FIVE minutes for dressing. It is the average time allotted to the modern girl and women for no- thing all her clothes—a precision in important ceremony which occupies in the elaborate toilette of milady of 500 one to one and a nast nours! And it is all due to the 'founda- ment' garment' - the modern substi- tute for the old-fashioned corset and its many bulky undergarments! In the old days 30 years ago, women buttoned and tied knit upwear; they laced very high-topped shoes they laced and relaxed heavy coats, nooked tight, long turtlenecks, fitted tight "bads" dressed in loose-fitting padded dresses and numerous petticats. All this necessitated for the well-dressed woman, no less than one hour for dressing. Today the women as well as the young girls permit themselves 20 minutes for pulling on their foundation undergardment, their hose and their dress and stepping into their pumps.

In France the famous Coligny, head of the Huguenot party, had finally sent Captain Jean Ribaut in command of a band of French Protestants, to fortify a small fort which the French had established on the St. Johns River in Florida the year before. Philip II of Spain had become alarmed at the continued efforts of the French to gain a foothold in Florida to which Ponce de Leon had first laid claim. The proposed Protestant colony aroused his intolerance. Accordingly he sent Pedro Menendez de Daviles with an army of fifteen hundreds soldiers, a mighty expedition in that day and age. to crush the small French garrison. Massacre of the French. Ribaut reached the mouth of the St. John River about the time that Menendez arrived at the site of St. Augustine. Ribaut sent a small detachment to the fort and turned his ships to meet the Spanish fleet. But Menendez marching overland from St. Augustine exterminated the occupants of the fort. Returning he found that the French fleet had been stranded at nearby Matanzas inlet and proceeded against them.

SATURDAY...OCTOBER 29, 1927 We thank our subscribers, who have been sending in the amounts due. Success may be with you today and disaster with you tomorrow. Every wrong act carries with it its own punishment. There are millions of people living, who do not believe in the promise of a heaven or in the existence of a hell. When they die, they are expected to find out all about it. Good time people "get theirs" here and they can rest assured that they will pay in sorrow and suffering for the violation of the laws of decency and right. The Newport News Star has our thanks and appreciation for all that it has been kind enough to say. This journal has taken high rank and its editorial columns teem with literary gems. The students at the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va., a white institution, have gone on a strike because Superintendent W. H. Cocke suspended W. F. Griffith, a senior for hazing. Like white, like colored. The spirit of insubordination is in the air. We have received "The Tragedy of White Injustice," by Marcus Garvey, published by Amy Jacques Garvey. It is a pamphlet, with 24 pages, containing a poem with 70 verses in one, 11 verses in another, and 11 more verses in another. It may be obtained by addressing the publisher at Box 22, Station L, New York, N. Y. Send for a copy. We were not aware that Gen. A. F. Davidsen, Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of New Jersey, was dead until we came across an old copy of the Red Bank, N. J., Echo, stating that he died April 4, 1927, at his home in Atlantic City, N. J. He was our bosom friend, and during all the vicissitudes of our meteoric career, he supported and encouraged us. He was a Virginian. Chivalric, conscientious, noble, scorning what was wrong and glorying in what was right, he has gone to a well deserved reward. We have received from the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund one of its Occasional Papers, No. 24, containing Five Letters of the University Commission on Race Questions. You may say what you will, but these problems are nearing solution. Lynching is being unequivocally condemned. For more than forty years, we have waged an agitation against this evil and it has borne fruit. The cohesion of some of the best white and colored minds in this country, both North and South is one of the wonders of the century. Some of us may get impatient, but the sober second sense is asserting itself in both the conservative white and colored people of this country and we should do nothing to disturb it. We admit that we have been disheartened and pessimistic at times ourselves, but at last we see, or we think we see, daylight upon the horizon of racial progress and we shall do nothing to cause trouble while the skies for us are clearing. THE TROUBLE AT HAMPTON We have been puzzled to understand the cause of the trouble at Hampton, where the insubordination of the students reached such proportion as to cause the principal of the institution to temporarily close the institution. As Hampton Institute is a charitable institution and the money contributed Weak Back Strengthened Quickly Weak Back Strengthened Quickly If it hurts your back to lift a heavy object, if you have strained the back muscles, if a "cold has settled in your back," or if you suffer from lumbar, put on a Red Cross Kidney Plaster and you will get relief almost at once. It gives the support needed by the weakened, sore muscles. It provides a continuous automatic massage with every movement of the body, thus relieving congestion and stimulating circulation in the affected tissue. The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore, lame muscles, quitting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves, and restoring the free use of the muscles. Be sure to ask for Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red channel box. At all times. by the students could not and would not permit the institution to function, we presume that it has become a question of discipline and control. Principal James E. Gregg has always stood "four square" with reference to all of the great questions affecting us as a people. He is in line with the most advanced thought of the most highly educated leaders of our people and we cannot conceive how students, who are "worth their salt" could make an issue upon such trivial matters as to whether or not lights are turned on at movies, or whether they shall be confined to the school grounds, etc. These matters could have been taken up and formally discussed with the school authorities. Hundreds of these young people cannot be controlled by their parents in their own homes and some of them are sent to institutions of this kind for that reason. We should like to hear the other side of the question, should the issues be other than those already given to the public. Some institutions are so amicous to secure students in large numbers that they pay little attention to the kind and character of some of those who storm its doors. When this is the case, the "weeding out" process must necessarily follow and this is being done. Just fancy a body of students submitting to the State separation law inside of their own auditoriums and then leading a revolt against the lighting of a movie picture hall and the refusal to permit the promiscuous roaming of the streets of Phoebus, Hampton and Newport News. It is time that the student body be heard from. The present outlook is anything but creditable to them. THE POLITICAL SITUATION The political situation in the country is attracting attention, not only in the United States, but in the chancelleries of the world. President Calvin Coolidge took a wise step when he wrote his "I do not choose" message, but he threw the political leaders in both of the great parties into interminable confusion. Few, if any, Democratic leaders doubted, but what he would be the nominee of the Republican Party and some are even now of this same opinion. The question was, "Who, but Coolidge?" This has been followed by another similar query. It is, "Who, but Al Smith?" New York is as yet a pivotal State. It is known that the tendency and former habit of practically all Southern States are to vote the Democratic ticket. The Lowden boom is assuming a menacing attitude toward all other Republican candidates, but the split in the Republican Party there tends to damper the ardor of thousands, who might otherwise support him. There is only one Republican in these United States, who can be presumed to have a "ghost of a show" in carrying New York against Governor Alfred H. Smith and that statesman is Charles Evans Hughes. He is admittedly weak in the Western States. He is undoubtedly the best equipped man for the presidency. He shows no inclination to again enter the field of politics. Genuine statemanship is at a low ebb. The miasma of cheap, degrading politics permeates practically everything. Out of the confusion on the Republican side may emerge a great man, the leader of the hour. The Democrats have their candidate practically picked out. Nothing but a resignation, sickness or death will prevent the naming of the distinguished New Yorker as the standard bearer of the Democratic Party. Where shall the Republicans find a man able and popular enough to defeat him? --- Plainfield, N. J. 450 W. Third St. October 8, 1927 Board of Health, Richmond, Va. Dear Sirs; The undersigned is desirous of any information obtainable concerning the whereabouts of one Vera Smith, a colored girl, who resided at 1502 Taylor Street, in 1914.

Messick, a Roanoke lawyer, against Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey combined shows alleging that Willie and George Muse, Negro boys of Roanoke, were held against their will and exhibited as "the Ambassador from Mars." The two boys were seen at Roanoke, October 14th, when the circus was showing there and recognized by their mother, the petition alleges. Since the reunion the boys have been with the mother, it is stated. Harriet Muse, mother of the boys, was quoted in Roanoke as saying that she contracted to let the boys leave with a man named Stokes, operating a show and that years later the boys became part of the circus, against which the suit was filed, while they were in California. She claims they were abducted as the suit here followed. Attachment summons in the suits, for $50,000 each, were served on the circus in Richmond Monday, last night.

Bobbed Hair Aid to Health, Says Famous Paris Expert BABY DOLL STUFF MODIFYING THE BOYISH BOB THE LONG BOB ```markdown ``` This Week Arthur Brisbane KANSAS AND FRANCE — The Difference — On either side of the Santa Fe express, in which this is written, the open fields and farmhouses of Kansas past. It is a country unlike that through which the writer drove a few weeks ago in France on the way from Paris to see Clemencean in his little cottage on the Atlantic at Lejard, not far from Bordeaux. The trip through France, made in an automobile, was as rapid as this trip by train. In France you drive your automobile as fast as you like, but TAKE CARE YOU HURT NOBODY. French roads are wide and straight, the car used by this writer came from Nice to Paris, 900 kilometers, 540 miles, in one day and did easily the 400 miles from Paris to Lejard between breakfast and dinner. French drivers go rapidly, but carefully; if they hit anybody the law hits them. A member of the Chamber of Deputies went to jail for a year, all the influence of his friends could not save him. He struck a child. B. Forman, of Rochester, N. Y., can tell you of a French chauffeur accused of intoxication, sent to jail for ten years. He killed a child. Mr. Forman saw the thing happen. Here in Kansas you see great tractors providing power, machinery cuttings and blinds, that engines blinding, threshing wheat, and tying the grain in sacks, all in one operat- in France occasionally you would see a peasant and his wife cutting the grain with sickles in small fields of irregular shape. Fields were harvested with scythes. Here and there teams of horses drew mowing machines. Power driven agricultural machinery was not seen between Paris and Lejard. Where mowers had passed you might be old grandmother and her little child holding over, picking in rows of grain with the right hand, putting them in aprons held by Bobbed Hair Aid BABY DOLL STUFF THE LONG BOB NEW YORK—Bobbed hair is here to stay. This authoritative answer to a widely mooted question was brought direct from Paris to Eugene famous permanent wave and culture expert of London Paris and New York. "There is no such thing as a taintonable woman with long hair any more" said Eugene upon his arrival from overseas. "Short hair is typical with youth and it is stylish to be young in Paris the book is achieving more and more individuality. There is no longer any one cut." the left hand. A hundred such gleaners were seen in a day's drive. They were less fortunate than Ruth, their gleanings mennage. There was no Boaz to command his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not; and let fall also some of the handfuls on purpose for her and leave them that she may glean them, but rebuke her not." With hand rakes the old grandmother and the little girl could have gathered all the gleanings in a short time, but that evidently was not allowed. Gleaning must be done by hand, the old body must stoop, and etoop all day long to pick up uplay straws. When the grain had gone from the field an old shepherd would bring his little band of sheep. These would walk through the stubble eating the over-ripe grain that had fallen from the ears. Other bands of sheep led by an old man or woman with dogs to help, and the grass along the highway edge. No sheep ever strayed onto the road before the automobiles. Dogs prevented that, and the sheep seemed trained. Beautiful animals, admirably kept, they waste nothing in France. In rich in rich America you ride miles through unending fields of corn or grain, pass great herds of heavy steers, deep in grass and tens of thousands of acres not used. In France they use every foot of ground, waste nothing, not food or human labor, men and women work long hours, work hard with patience. The peasants' houses are beautiful and old, their animals well cared for. Along the coast of Brittany and the Vendee, men and women and children work side by side. Men repair, at low tide, their fish nets colored light blue. The fishermen say "fish like color." On the flat lands you see little mounds of salt taken from the ocean by imprisoning waters in shallow pools for evaporation. Once "La Gabelle," a heavy tax on salt, dressed the mistresses of French kings and made life easy for three lucky classes, royalty, clergy and nobility. It was death to the peasant to escape "La Gabelle" by taking his salt from the ocean. Conditions are better now. The kings are sleeping in St. Denis, the few whose bones were not scattered during the Revolution. There are more schools because more public libraries than gallows. The peasant is no longer forbidden to kill animals that ate his crops because lords and ladies wanted the pleasure of riding over those crops to kill the animals themselves. But in every French family there in mourning. Each earnest hard-faced French woman tells you how many sons or brothers she had "left." to Health, Says Fam or clip that is modish for all. A long- women woman with and eyes must wea- her nail very differently from a roly- polis oounde with a smile on her face. One principle is fundamental in all coatings today. They must accelera- te the natural contour of the wearers' neck. The tric of coifteuse shown above illustrate the most hair styles from Paria.

CANADIAN PACIFIC'S No.2335-1927 HIST! IT'S HALLOWEEN - - - By Dorothy Wright It is for the supper table that the hostess plans her most original decorations. You can't help grinning back at this old pumpkin scamp squatting cross-legged on the center of the table. His body, an ordinary cardboard box, is nilled with fortunes for the guests. These are written on the scrolls of orange paper, fastened with a pumpkin seal and tied to orange ribbons. To make this clever centerpiece cover a box with orange festoons. Those who missed the "Fair of the Iron Horse" staged by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, near Baltimore, passed up the greatest transportation expedition in history, full of color and as interesting to the layman as to the engineer. Conspicuous among the gigantic oocomotives exhibited in comparison with the tiny "Tom Trump" of 1829, the first oocomotive built in the United States, weight two tons, was the Canadian Pacific's "C P R. 2333," a mammoth oocomotive weighing with tender 497,500 pounds and having a maximum speed of 90 miles per hour. This oocomotive built a year ago, is one of many giant oocomotives which will handle Canadian Pacific cargo throughout Canada- mountains and plains. Such has nickel steel boiler plates permitting an increase of 25% in boiler pressure with no increase in weight of the boiler barrel. This mammoth oocomotive was one of the big airs of the "Fair of the Iron Horse." HIST!

HALLOWEEN The "Tom Thumb" was the first locomotive built in America and Peter Cooper, founder of Cooper Union in New York, was the inventor and builder. It was about the size of the modern handcar, but it was instrumental in starting the Baltimore & Ohio and during the "Fair of the Iron Horse." It was able still to run around the 6,000 ft. tall "rail loop under its own steam," like many other old-timers.

By Dorothy Wright It is for the supper table that the hostess plans her most original decorations. You can't help grinning back at this old pumpkin scamp squatting cross-legged on the center of the table. His body, an ordinary cardboard box, is ailed with fortunes for the guests. These are written on tiny scrolls of orange paper, fastened with a pumpkin seal and tied to orange ribbons. To make this clever centerpiece, cover a box with orange festoons foiled lengthwise through the center. Then glue two pumpkin cut-outs back to back with a heavy wire placed between them. The end of the wire should extend several inches below the pumpkin neck. Thrust the end of this wire through the lid of the ooz and bend the wire back against the underneath-side securing it with tabs of gummed cloth tape. To make the arms and legs, cut stripe of orange crepe paper five inches wide and twelve inches long. Roll them up loosely and paste the edges down. Die them both top and bottom with spool wire. Place glue them at the top. Die the man-made patterning strip of orange crepe paper through the center and fasten them to the body with spool wire.

This Volume tells the world how the Nero was won his place and his right to a voice in the affairs of mankind against prejudice, ridicule, race hatred, and almost insurmountable objections. 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 spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel 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 loyalty and patroltism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

With best wishes, I am, SUPREME CHANCELLOR GREEN (Continued from page 1) of the Knights of Pythias at Dallas, Texas, in 1929, is not borne out by the facts. You know that I was present in Austin, Texas, in June of this year, and sitting on the platform by the side of Grand Chancellor Willis when you introduced the resolution inviting the supreme lodge to hold its biennial session in the State of Texas in the year 1929, and which resolution was unanimously adopted by your grand lodge. Opinion Not Sought Neither you, Mr. Editor, nor any officer or member of the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Texas cared for or sought my opinion concerning that invitation. My attitude as to the meeting of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias in any of the States of the far South was well known to Grand Chancellor Willis, and he, therefore, did not deem it necessary to ask my opinion concerning the meeting of the supreme lodge in Texas. On, as a matter of form, the following correspondence was had between Grand Chancellor Willis and myself. Dallas, Texas, July 16, 1927. As a result of a resolution unanimously adopted by our last grand lodge inviting the convention of the supreme lodge to Texas in 1929, I am now making some efforts to carry out the spirit of the resolution and I am desirous to know whether or not the invitation will meet your approval. I have conferred with the Chamber of Commerce here, with the M-K-T Railroad and some of the most prominent citizens of Dallas, and I am assured by each and every one that if the supreme lodge accepts our invitation that everything in the power of this community will be done to make their stay both profitable and comfortable. Let me hear from you. With best wishes, I am, Yours fraternally, (Signed) W. S. WILLIS, Grand Chancellor. Sir W. S. Willis, Grand Chancellor, 202 Pythian Temple Building, Dallas, Texas. Dear Sir and Brother. I am in receipt of yours of the 16th instant, and I note that your grand lodge has been directed to invite the session of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., to Texas in 1929, and you are desirous of knowing if the invitation will meet my approval. Wish to advise, I have been—and am yet of the opinion that it would not be advisable to have our supreme lodge meet in the State of Texas or any other far Southern State under present conditions of discrimination, segregation and jim-crow cars as now practiced in the South. I shall, therefore, not favor the convention of the supreme lodge com- --- --- H' ```markdown ``` Filled promptly only in cases specified. Parcel Post FREEM anywhere in the United States.

I do not belong, Mr. Editor, to that class of "Uncle Tom" colored men who will attempt to excuse and condone the ill treatment of members of my race in their civil rights in the South, and delight to state in the presence of the Southern white man that the treatment given colored people in their civil rights is as good as that given to colored people in the North. The white man of the South knows that the colored man of intelligence who makes such statements to tickle their fancy, or to feed their vanity is both a liar and a hypocrite. The Vote I note the statement in your editorial that Dallas lost to Indianapolis by 47 to 55 votes or thereabouts. Reading from the record, Mr. Editor, we find Indianapolis received 60 votes and Dallas 47 votes for the next place of meeting of the supreme lodge. I find the following in your editorial emphasized by the use of capital letters: "It was not the adverse vote that causes The Informer to discuss this matter at length, (for Texans are thoroughbreds and can take defeat cheerfully), but it was the attitude assumed by Hon. S. W. Green, of New Orleans, Louisiana, the supreme chancellor of the Pythian order, who took the floor and waged one of the most bitter and subtle fights against Dallas and the entire South." An Explanation I am forced to take issue with that statement, Mr. Editor, for the reason that, in my address to the supreme lodge, I did not wage what you term a "most bitter and subtle fight against Dallas and the entire South." I did oppose the supreme lodge holding its sessions in Dallas, Texas, or any other city in the far South, on account of segregation, discrimination and "jim-crow" street cars in such cities. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is one of the most liberal cities in the South in the matter of race relations between the two cities, and yet I have not and will not invite the supreme lodge to hold one of its sessions in the city of New Orleans as long as our brethren and sisters who are far more fortunately situated than we, will be required to ride on "jim-crow" railroad trains and to suffer the humiliations and insults from "jim-crow" street cars. The Louisiana Commission We have in Louisiana a railroad commission which has been generous enough, and considerate enough of its colored citizens, to require each railroad train passing through the State of Louisiana to furnish separate toilets for the sexes, and to furnish compartments on each train where our men may smoke without doing so in the presence of their ladies.

To the Parents or Guardians of the Students of Hampton Institute: An unfortunate series of events beginning last, Saturday night, October 8th, has been marked by such insubordination and disorder among the students as to make it necessary to close the Institute until further notice. The outbreak was precipitated by dissatisfaction with the lighting of Ogden Hall as with the entertainment on Saturday evening. On morning the college students in James Hall refused to admit the inspecting officers, and the whole body of the students, aside from the cour, took no part in the singing at the morning and evening services. Situation Explained On Monday morning the serious consequences of this attitude and spirit were explained to the students by the principal, who also emphasized the importance of attendance at classes and other scheduled work as an evidence of loyalty and cooperation. Nevertheless, a large number of young men, possible four hundred, absented themselves from their class-rooms and shops, some undoubtedly under intimidation by others. They had appointed a committee to present a statement of grievances to the Administration board; but this the Board felt obliged to refuse to consider as long as the petitioners were "on strike." Returned to Classes On Tuesday afternoon the strikers returned to their classes, and on the same evening the Board considered the committee's complaints. Some were not of great importance; others were distinctly noteworthy; several were impracticable; several were such as could not be adequately answered without investigation. The Board willingly agreed to consider them carefully, and to confer again with the committee. Inquiry having been made concerning the disciplinary measures which would be taken against the strikers, the Board made it plain to the committee that it could promise only to try to be absolutely just and to do whatever might seem best calculated to prevent a recurrence of disorder. The Board Acts On Wednesday afternoon the following vote was passed by the Administrative Board: I. Young women and new students are assumed not to have been responsible for acts of deliberate insubordination, and therefore not being subjects for discipline in connection with the recent difficulties. II. Students from classes absorbed themselves from classes and scheduled work are put on probation, such probation to be removed by the Commandant as rapidly as evidence is given of satisfactory conduct and III. Those guilty of insubordination or of inciting others to insubordination are on probation immediately. Their future discipline is still under consideration by the Administrative Board, and their cases will be dealt with individually, and as rapidly as possible. This was a disappointment to many students, who had been led through rumor to expect a general guarantee of no punishment for any offenders; and on Thursday morning the strike was resumed. The Administrative Board thereupon felt obliged to pass the following vote: 1. Hampton Institute is closed until further notice. Students who desire to remain may be permitted to stay on the grounds until classwork can be resumed, provided that they satisfy the school authorities of their loyalty, their purpose to obey the rules of the school and to co-operate to preserve its order and peace. Applications for such permission should be made to the Administrative Board of Women and will be submitted to the Administrative Board. All other students are expected to leave for their homes promptly and so far as possible today. 2. Students leaving may obtain the unused portion of their board and other cash allowances or deposits by calling at the Treasurer's Office. Any who have insufficient funds to reach home should consult the Treasurer, the Commandant, or the Dean of Women. Some young women and a large number of young men have returned to their homes, not a few with the expressed intention of returning as soon as the disturbance is over. Four young men, quite evidently ring-leaders, have been formally dismissed. Suspension of a number of others will probably be necessary. It is the intention of the authorities to reopen the Institute soon—if possible within a few days. Among the gratifying elements in the situation have been the loyalty of the new students, especially those responsible for the maintenance of the school household; the comparative steadiness of most of the girls; and the practically universal condemnation of the strike by the members of the staff and by the alumni. We have declared from the beginning that Hampton Institute cannot be carried on with students who are disorderly and lawless. We have welcomed and shall welcome back all students who give evidence of their sincere purpose to co-operate with the officers and teachers in maintaining peace, order, and the mutual friendliness and confidence without which no school can be truly successful.

The Administrative Board realizes that many students who have gone home were in no way responsible for inciting disorder, but were carried along by the crowd and in the excitement of the moment went home with others who were leaving. These we shall be glad to receive back provided they come of their own free will and return at once; for classes will be resumed very soon. We shall require all who wish to return to apply in writing to the VICE-PRINCIPAL for re-admission. This application must be accompanied by a pledge of loyalty and obedience, a copy of which is enclosed. Students returning will be required to pay for living expenses to November 1st, the amount refunded at the time they left. No deduction for the absence of these few days can be allowed. No entrance or other fees will be required. If the application for re-admission is accepted, in order to save time, a notice will be sent by the Institute at once by telegraph, at the applicant's expense, if so requested. J. E. G.

Reevis was at his wits end and delivered one of the best sermons that could have been preached. He said in his sermon that we Christians needed to pluck the thorn out of our flesh, or in other words, we needed to get rid of our sins. The sermon was one which can be applied to every day.
