VOLUME XLV, NO. 8 HAPLESS YOUTH RELEASED FROM CUSTODY COMMONWEALTH'S ATTORNEY SATTERFIELD ACTS. When the facts in the case of George Brown, the colored youth charged with taking, stealing and carrying away a signet and a diamond ring of Miss Wright, a white lady, of 701 E. Main Street, was brought to the attention of monwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield in the Hustings Court during the trial of Falson case, after arriving the statement of the white lady and the officers, he entered a nole proseql in the case and secured an order from Judge W. Kirk Mathews discharging Brown from custody. As published in The Planet of the 10th inst., George Brown was arrested, locked up and on a felony charge and was without counsel. THE FACTS. . . He was sent on to the Hustings Court. Miss Wright testified that she had the rings on a table, one a signet ring and the other a diamond ring which she valued at $85.00. She left the room and George Brown went into the room to get his overcoat, being employed there. Brown stoutly maintained that he did not know anything about the rings and that he did not take them. The rings were later found in one of Miss Wright's shoes. She stated that George Brown was a fine servant, that he had been tempted before, but had never been known to take anything, not even money, although he had the opportunity so to do. NO PROOF OF THEFT Editor Mitchell was in the Police Court when the case was heard and he took an interest in the case. In the consultation in the Hustings Court, the fact that the rings had never been outside of the house settled the matter Brown could not have taken, stolen and carried away the property. The youth was all alone, not even a relative appeared to take an interest in the case. Bring us your job work. Visiting cards, writing paper, etc. are always in order. . .

Kirk Mathews in the Shirley Winnegan case and it will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the State of Virginia. One of the errors alleged is the oneference of the evidence upon which Winnegan, sometimes called Willingham was tried, convicted and sentenced to die in the electric chair. The execution is set for January 25, 1928. There is practically no doubt, but what the execution will not take place on that date. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Norfolk, has interested itself in this case and is being backed by the national organization in New York.

RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad.2793 Heralded as syncopated entertainment developed to its highest degree "Jungle Land," arranged as a special New Year's attraction all next week at the Mosque, will be presented Monday featuring the genial and engaging Ray Teal and his "Mad Musikers," together with the charming "Mosque Cocktails". "Jungle Land," written by Jerry Cargill is described as merry and hilarious amusement, introducing a variety of features new to the Richmond stage. Ray Teal, who has scored an emphatic individual hit and who initiated the new band-revue policy here in the highly successful "Jazzman," will demonstrate his unusual versatility in "Jungle Land," revealing several special numbers both in songs and on the saxophone and clarinet, with which instruments he is hingibly adept. With his "Mad Musikers," Ray will offer a revel in syncopated melodies. Included in Ray's "gang" will be several noted Broadway entertainers—Joe Turin, who registered in high favor last week and who will be heard in several new songs: Bob and Betty Cilker, in a suite of sensational dances, and several surprise numbers booked in especially, for this event. Conspicuous in the attention of playgoers will be the Elysos Mouque Cocktails, the comely specialty chorus, Teal, under whose personal supervision "Jungle Land" has been staged, again will serve as master of ceremonies. A spectacular production has been arranged for this attraction and an array of New Year's features will be revealed. The band-revue has repeated in Richmond the success it attained when initiated on the Pacific Coast by Fanchon and Marco, with whom Teal was associated for a year prior to his engagement at the Mosque. So decisive has been the popularity of the band-revue that it has been installed for the season have. Complete new programs will be presented each week and headline entertainers will be enlisted from Broadway to assist Mr. Teal "The Fortune Hunter", adapted from one of the greatest successes in $h_2h$ history of the American stage will be featured on the screen, starring Syd Chaplin. The picture is reported to be an admirable version of the appealingly romantic story by Winchell Smith, which narrates the love adventure of a young man who decides to marry money and who actually marries the daughter of a poor country drug store proprietor, eventually attaining wealth through an amazing turn of fortune. This production is regarded by many as one of the outstanding productions of the season. Christmastide. They are here from Wytheville, Va. Mrs. Lucy Taylor, husband and nephew.

For the everlasting truths Men may differ in their views, Still at Xmas, it's all right Merry Christmas to recite. "MARCUS GARVEY "1927 "Kingston, Jamaica, B.W.I." The deportation of Garvey was the least that his enemies could do to him. Madame Mary Church Terrell, admitted one of the brainiest women in these United States aptly remarks that they deported Garvey, but they could not deport his ideas. What appeared to be at one time in the nature of a tragedy may yet prove to be a divine plan for the furtherance of his great work.

A comparison of folk-tunes sung in different countries brings out a common beauty and sincerity which must do much to destroy the claim of any one nation to cultural superiority over the other and thus to imbue the spirit of toleration with the spirit of toleration with unity. Oddly enough it has remained for young anachias within the way toward this side and lovely music.

MALCOLM CAMPBELL, BRITISHER AND 450 H.A. "BLUEBIRD" "THEY'RE OFF" PHOTO HAMILTON WRIGHT WORLD FAMOUS ORMOND-DAYTONA BEACH WILL BE ATTEMPTED A MILLION DOLLAR WELL — MAYBE BRINGING HER IN MAJ. SEGURAGE, WHOSE SPEED CROWN MAY FALL ORMEND-DAYTATION BEACH, Flat—The Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce is conducting the celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of Automobiles Racing on Ormond-Daytona Beach to open on February 15th and continue to February 23rd inclusive, has completed its program and makes its announcement of the schedule of automobile races to take place. By far the most important event, it is stated by Frank A. Pleason, who is managing the tournament for the local body, will be the mile speed trials by Capt. Malcolm Campbell, British race, with his Bluebird, J. M. White h. p. tri-motored car, "Triplex," and Frank Lockhart, American speed ace, in a specially built creation. All three will seek to shatter the present world's straightway speed record of 208 m. p. h. made last March by Major H. O. D. Segrave of London. The three cars above mentioned are without a doubt the fastest and most powerful automobile speed creations ever constructed. The program announced by Mr Pierson is as follows: Event No. 3—Race for stock cars selling for $2,000 and over. Event No. 4—Gentlemen's race open only to amateur drivers. Cars must be stock. February 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23rd: Hours for all tasks for work. Who Follow CHICAGO—One type of laborer in the United States gives the laugh to the landlord and smiles at talk of high house rent. He is the man who follows oil field "excitement" and takes part in new developments, says a bulletin just issued by the American Oil Company. "Every new oil field has its 'Tag Town,' a tainted district where life is primitive but comfortable," states the bulletin. "As a rule no rent is paid. Employees simply come in to bring wife, children, and a tent—usually in an unquoted manner." As your A HUMAN BOLLET-SEGREAV DONG 200M.R.K.

A tele mille. the tem will be installed at a Event No. 4, the Gentlemen's stock car race, according to Mr. Pierson will bring together a galaxy of automobile executives, piloting their own make of cars unparalleled in racing history. The race will be ten times around barrels on the beach covering a two-mile course, or the equivalent of making 20 sharp turns at high speed on a level track. It is a race which calls for daring and technique. Mr. Fred S. Duesenberg, maker of Duesenberg cars has written Mr. Pierson that one of his new stock cars will be ready. It is expected that he will drive it himself. Henry Ford, who 20 years ago started the automobile world with his famous "999" when he did a mile in 32 seconds on this same beach speedway, will be invited to drive one of his new Ford cars. Mr. Fred Moscowov, President of the Stutz Motor Company, assured Mr. Pierson last fall during the latter's visit to Indianapolis, that he too, would sit behind the wheel of a Stutz car to compete in the Gentlemen's race. Conditions for Mile Record. The meet will be held under the supervision of the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association, Sanction No. 1844. The conditions are as follows: Trials will be made on a 9-mile straightaway course. This allows 4 miles for picking up speed, 1 mile for the official test, and 4 miles to slow down. According to the A. A. A. trials must be made in each direction in order to strike an average which becomes the official time. If the entrant wishes to be timed for miles and in kilometers he can Oil Field Rushes L A MILLION DOLLAR WELL—WAYBE is sufficient time to set up living quarters. "The type of test commonly used can be bought for about $18. Some of the more fastidious buy yellow plum lumber, lay a floor and build sidewalls. Often a second-hand store is acquired.

In the newer camps a few cooking utensils, a metal pail with a tin wash basin, bunks built in tiers for the six buildings and homes." ```markdown ``` the official timer. A telephone system will be installed at a station at each mile post on an open line to the central station. By this means officials will know what is happening all along the 9-mile course. The speedway will be staked off with white flags. No entrant's fee is required in Event No. 1. It is pointed to the New Ford car must come into competition with no less than four other low priced cars, some of six cylinders, while at least seven cars are expected to try their mettle in Event No. 2. The entire meet will undoubtedly be one of the most spectacular Auto speed fastas the world has ever seen. As a daring adventure on the part of the drivers the mile speed trials are without equal. Airplane racing is tame compared to the hazards of a 4-ton phantom streaking so fast that when close by you cannot turn your head quick enough to see it. A minute miscalculation and man and car will either plunge into the sand dunes or into the Atlantic. No American has yet reached the 200 m. p. h. mark. The nearest approach was by 29-year-old Frank Lookart on Dry Lake last summer when he made a speed of 171 m. p. h. The setting for the meet could not be held at a better place. It is right on the mainline of the Florida East Coast Railway and will make access to the course very easy for the thousands who will witness the trials. The Ormond-Daytona Beach is the fastest, straightest and smoothest natural speedway in the world. The sand is hard packed, the beach is 800 feet wide, and no straights that use sand shoot a gun down the beach. augh at Landlords BRINGING HER IN MEN ON YOUN pine table and chairs about equip the domicile.

YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT HEALTH is a valuable thing, Health means happiness. When you get sick you become miserable. Everyone should give some thought to keeping well. The rules of health are simple. Eat proper food and keep your body clean inside and out. Plenty of water is essential to health. Much water is needed to keep the body clean inside, therefore drink lots of water every day. When the bowels do not move regularly every day, you should take a simple laxative like DRIVO, as an aid to internal cleanliness. DRIVO is a fine medicine to keep you in good health by keeping the system clean and free from poisonous accumulations in the bowels. DRIVO is a splendid tonic as well as a laxative, and is becoming popular as an every day home remedy. Many people now take DRIVO to tone up the tissues, increase appetite and enrich the blood by driving out impurities. To prevent sickness and to drive out colds, and grippe and stop chills and fevers, take DRIVO. People who suffer from indigestion, constipation, billiousness or headaches are advised to take DRIVO and get well. Don't wait, but try this fine medicine today. See how much good DRIVO will do you. It has helped others, it will help you. Buy DRIVO at any good drug store in 25 cent and 50 cent bottles. Get a bottle from your druggist now.

Big Membership Drive Now On! SICK AND DEATH CLAIMS PAID PROMPTLY. Sloan Takes Lead in Motor Race As Ford Stops to Change Cars Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the General Motors Corporation, is the only man who ever made Henry Ford take a back seat, declares Allan L. Benson, writer and authority on American business. "Anybody who can pass Henry Ford in an automobile race thereby becomes a world figure in manufacturing," he adds, and in his article in the Cosmopolitan thus summarizes the situation: "Sloan may use as many words to describe the situation as he pleases, but the fact is that he is engaged in a struggle with the champion of the champions for the motor supremacy of the world, and indeed, he goes a long way toward getting it General Motors sales increased from about 380,000,000 in 1921 to $1,000,000,000 in 1926. The market price of the company's common stock increased, in three years, 480 per cent. Two out of every five cars sold in 1927 were General Motors cars." Sloan's prominence in the industrial world today is due to his obsession for work, according to Benson. who says there is almost no variety in his life. A graduate of the Massachussetts College of Psychology, Sloan is a man without hobbies and does not care particularly for books, golf or the theatre, but finds his recreation in the companionship of a few friends. Seeking to analyze his unusual success, Benson concludes: "He says that personality and a knowledge of the theory and practice of psychology constitute at least 60 percent of his success in any executive and 75 per cent in a motor executive.

ALFRED R. SLOAN JR. are just so much waste material, in his opinion. "Sloan is a great accumulator of facts. He has almost as much of passion for facts as he has for work. One might almost say that he has worn himself tinn in the ceaseless pursuit of information upon which to base his conclusions. He was a vision an orderly mind and a personality that appears to be adapted admirably to the task of promoting team work and making it a pleasure for every man to do his best. Such men are as rare as they are valuable." Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
