Shareholders Approved Unanimously an Increase in Capital and Other Progressive Legislation Recommended by the Officers and Board. VOLUME XLV, NO. 12 STOCK HAVI Southern Inc., Forge Rei Shareholders A in Capital and Recommend The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. was held Monday, January 23, 1928, 8:30 P. M. at the Sharon Baptist Church, First and Leigh Streets, on invitation of the progressive pastor, Rev. R. H. Johnson, A. M., B. D. Prior to the business session of the corporation, the Sunday School Orchestra, Mr. Cornellus Cooper, leader and Miss Ruth Carter, pianist, rendered several appropriate numbers to the delight of the large gathering of stockholders. Invocation was by Dr R. G. Adams, Portsmouth, Va. After ascertaining that about 89 per cent of the stock was represented either in person or by proxy, and acting on other routine matters, the body heard reports of its executive officers. Mr. James T. Carter, the versatile and energetic president of the corporation rendered his annual report. Mr. Carter's vivid portrayal of the corporation's outstanding achievements during the past year, and his illustration of "insurance as a Service", were an inspiration to all who were fortunate to hear the report. Mr. B. L. Jordan, Secretary-Manager, presented the annual financial report. This report, like all efforts of this dynamic insurance and business leader, was a comprehensive and detailed record of the receipts and disbursements of the corporation as well as a clear cut analysis of the accounts of the corporation. The report showed that gross business for the year was $1,245,205.98. Then followed a report of the activities of the various departments of the business and corporation's personnel, by Mr. W. A. Jordan Assistant Secretary Manager. These reports were received and adopted with high commendation by the shareholders. Following the reports of the officers, the recommendations from the Board of Directors for an increase in maximum capital from $100,000 to $300,000, $50,000 of which was to be immediately made available, and other necessary changes in the charter of the corporation were enthusiastically approved, by the entire body. The re-election of the President and Board of Directors was carried out under proper action by acclamation. At this point, President Carter requested the entire group to accompany him to the lecture room of this well-appointed church. There the stockholders were greeted with tables laden with a repast that would have tickled the palate of a king. The caterers, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Eggleston and a uniformed and attractive group of assistants, saw to it that everyone had a bounteous and satisfactory service. The President passed the sceptre to Vice President, Mr. B. A. Cephas, who had been elected toastmaser for life. Then for an hour and a half there was a mixture of wit and feasting. The unbounded enthusiasm of the numerous speakers and the large attendance of out-of-town stockholders arrest the esteem in which the officers and board are held, and the value of this corporation in the race's economic development. A partial list of the out-of-town shareholders follows: John E. Hall, Jr. and Charles E. Bryan, Washington, D. C.; Wm. H. Brown, Br'sol. Va.; Rev. R. G. Adams, Portmouth, Va.; Prof. J. E.

Kirk Mathews presiding, was a scene of a remarkable happening Wednesday, January 25th. Henry Johnson appeared with his attorney, H. M. Smith, Jr. and plumed "Not guilty", after an agreement had been entered into between his counsel and Common wealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield to accept two years in the Virginia Penitentiary. Judge Mathews from his attitude did not approve of punishment and ruled that Johnson had a right to have his case presented to a jury. ```markdown ``` Johnson was in bed at his home, November 14, 1927, when a girl brought a message to his wife telling her to come over to a neighbor's house. His suspicions were aroused and he go up, took a revolver and hurried into the neighbor's house, where he caught Robert Staves in a compromising situation with his wife Mabel. The bullet missed Staves and entered the head of Robert Lee Mitchell, who was sitting on his front porch. Judge Mathews handed down the following instructions: "If the jury believe from the evidence that the prisoner had heard that there were improper relations existing between Robert Staves and Mabel Johnson, his wife, and further believe that on the day of the homicide just a few minutes before the event, he caught Staves with his arms around his wife and that due to this provocation, he was deprived of the power of self-control and in the heat of passion, shot at the said Robert Staves, but accidentally and without so intending, he missed Staves, but killed Robert Lee Mitchell, you must convict the accused of voluntary manslaughter. JUDGE MATHEWS INSTRUCTIONS "If the jury believe from the evidence that the prisoner had heard that there were improper relations existing between Robert Staves and Mabel Johnson, his wife, and further believe that on the day of the homicide just a few minutes before the event, he caught Staves with his arms around his wife and that due to this provocation, he was deprived of the power of self-control and in the heat of passion, shot at the said Robert Staves, but accidentally and without so intending, he missed Staves, but killed Robert Lee Mitchell, you must convict the accused of voluntary manslaughter." "If you believe he did not intend to hit Staves, but only to scare him then you should convict the accused of involuntary manslaughter". The jury, George B. Brown, foreman, reported: "We, the jury find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter and fix his punishment at a fine of $50.00." ENJOYS THE PLANET. Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 19, 1928.

Don Alvarado, who supports Constance Talmadge in "Breakfast at Sunrise", earnsly believes he has achieved a record in cracking nuts. He doesn't boast about it, but the fact stands, nevertheless, that Alvarado cracked almost a peck of nuts during scenes of "Breakfast at Sunrise", starring Constance Talmadge. The script called for him to engage in this light diversion, which became real hard work when Alvarado discovered he had to do it time and time again before Director Mal St. Clair's penchant for subleagues was satisfied. When it was all over the actor learned that he had shelled a peck of walnuts single handed. "Breakfast at Sunrise" is playing at the Mosque next week. AFRICAN MISSIONARY HERE.

The total for 1928 may be as large or even larger. "When we predicted a year ago that the value of new buildings during 1927 would perhaps equal that of the preceding year," says A. E. Ocklinson of the Indiana Limestone company, "our estimate was regarded as somewhat optimistic. Yet the total was but slightly under that of 1928. "Despite three years of a six to seven billion dollar construction expenditure, there is nothing to indicate that next year's total will fall below those figures. Building has been stabilized on a plane consistent with the growth of the nation. Vicious peaks and lows have been iron-out and measure eliminated.

"Winter building, which has greatly aided in stabilizing the entire industry promises to equal last year's record." In the quarries and mills of the Indiana Limestone company, of which Lawrence H. Whiting, Chicago banker is chairman of the board, plans are being made for a record business in 1928. A production capacity of fourteen to sixteen million cubic feet of stone a year is increased. Modern plant has facilitated heavy production. It is estimated that there is sufficient stone in the company's quarry properties to supply the nation at a good rate of production for many years to come. It was stated that service now offered by the company on all classes of construction has never before been equalled. Photographic Studio MOST ARTISTIC PHOTOS WE PRICES. a.

Germany which was the largest sugar producing country prior to the World War expanded its sugar industry from 450,000 tons in 1879 to 3,000,000 tons in 1914 by crop rotation. In addition it increased the general crop production of its farm land 80 per cent. In 1979 Germany sowed 693,491,000 acres to wheat, oats, barley and rye and from this increase, increased 693,157,000 bushels of the four crops. Thirty-five years later, after institution of the rotation, the same four crops were grown on the same four crops in 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980 with 693,000 bushels, or 80 EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair, Will also Restore the Strength, Vitality and the Beauty of the Hair.

Southern churchmen and northern ones too, for that matter are being "hoist upon their own petard", if the following report of the proceedings at Cleveland, O. are to be accepted at their face value: "Honest enforcement of the Constitution, including all amendments," was today endorsed by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, which yesterday failed to endorse enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment because a division arose among the delegates over the inclusion of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in the same resolution The same resolution was submitted in revised form today not specifically designating any amendment and passed. Negro delegates expressed frank d'appointment that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were not specifically mentioned in the resolution bu', nevertheless, supported it. Near the close of the session Bishop James A. Cannon, Jr. of Richmond Va., representing the Southern Methodists, introduced a long statement on prohibition which was also passed. In pledged the Federal Council to the "hearty, active, continuous cooperation with the Federal and State Governments to secure the observance and effective enforcement of the prohibition law". It is greatly to the credit of this organization that it met the issue, even though a large proportion of the membership made wry faces when the resolutions were finally adopted. Now, let the "merrie war go on". With the plea for prohibition must necessarily come the demand for equal rights of all men before the law. Colored voters can now afford to stand shoulder to shoulder with the crusaders, who are in a campaign to free the American people from the ravages of King Alcohol, both in theory and in fact. "BORN WRONG" The New York Times in its issue of January 25th, under the caption, "Born Wrong", comments upon Mr. Henry Morgenthau's article in the forth-coming Review of Reviews in which he says that: had the New Yorker been born of Protestant parents instead of those of the Roman Catholic beliefs, he would be the next President of the United States. The Times says that this is a pugent and conclusive way of stating that the one great obstacle—religious intolerance—today stands in the way of Gov. Smith's political advancement. It remarks: Against it there's 's, in really, only one. Governor Smith is a Catholic. He belongs to what has come to be thought of in America as a "proscribed class". No one of his religious faith can be elected President. Th's not openly proclaimed except by a few hardened fanatics or brazen demagogues. We pause to ask, as a rule, what other kind has been elected to the Congress of the Nation? It continues: But' it is quietly asserted in thousands of homes and in hundreds of villages and cities throughout the country. Is it this deep intolerance which houses the special indignation of men like Mr. Morgenhau, and makes them feel that if there are enough bgo's in the United States to force this political issue to the front in the Presidential election, then it ought to be met and fought as the greatest menace to a democracy built upon the doctrine of the career, even up to the very highest open to talent. It is strange though that able writers like the editor of the New York Times and Mr. Morgenthau cannot see, realize and understand that their feeling of race prejudice towards the Negro is closely akin, and as a matter of fact one and the same, to religious prejudice, the proscription of A class, which proscription is plainly forbidden in the fundamental law of this Republic. SUNDAY, JAN. 29th, 1928 11:30 A. M., Preaching 8:15 P. M., A Sermon YOU ARE WELCOME. --- Quick Relief for Stiff Joints and Sore Muscles Don't limp around in agony any longer, when a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster will give you almost insatiable relief. Don't be discouraged because other remedies have brought you only temporary relief. Try a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster which gives lasting benefits—warmth, support and gentle, continuous massage to the sore, contracted muscles and stiff joints. The beneficial effect is lasting because the medication is held in full strength directly against the skin over the sore, lame parts and is continually absorbed as long as the plaster remains on the body. If your muscles and joints are stiff and sore from overwork or unacustomed work, from exposure, Rheumatism or any other cause, get a Red Cross Kidney plaster at the drug store and put it on—you will marvel at its quick and wonderful effectiveness. Sold by all drug stores. the Constitution of the United States. A Hebrew is proscribed because he is of the Jewish faith; a Negro is proscribed because he is of a dark complexion and associates and affiliates with members of a despised race; and, finally, Governor Alfred H. Smith, the great Commoner, a man of transcendent governing ability is proscribed because he owes allegiance to the Pope of Rome, which head of the Church is believed by all devout Catholics to be the direct spokesman of God Himself upon this earth of ours. Certainly then these Roman Catholics should be free from the proscriptive beliefs that they condemn in others and accord to all races and creeds the same right's and privileges that they demand for themselves. Let us hope that Governor Smith is brave and bold enough to do this. The issue of religious intolerance is to be made and pressed for a settlement at Houston, Texas next June where the distinguished New Yorker will undoubtedly be nominated unless he dies before that time or declines the honor. And the end is not yet. Selah. WHERE ARE THE HUTCHISONS? I would like to know the where, abouts of my brothers, Charlie H. and Olen G. Hutchison, reported to be living in Richmond, Va.

I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using 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.

During Spilt / Mines Success, Declares Laith Mae Cummings --- ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane THINKING FOR YOURSELF. AGE BEING PUSHED BACK. EXTRA WEIGHT TIRES HEART. RAT-PROOF BUILDING. An expedition of the California Academy of Sciences returns from the mysterious Galapagos Islands bringing giant lizards, only survivors of the Mesozoic age, and more interesting to the youth of America, "flightless" cormorants, huge birds that have lost their power to fly because they have not flown for so long. What applies to flying for yourself applies to thinking for yourself. It's easy to lose that faculty. Darwin visited those islands more than seventy-five years ago, and would have liked to explore the inaccessible mountain tops that no one thus far has visited. P. C. Forbes says that great banking houses, notably Morgan & Co., biggest of the aggressively enterprising firms, admit to partnership men about forty years old, Davison, Lamont, Morrow and other important Morgan partners were taken in at about forty, the age supposed to combine sound judgment with power to carry a heavy load. In other days forty began the "graybeard" age. Great careers, Almond and Napoleon, the two most spectacular, were over at that age. Age is pushed farther and farther back, and the J. P. Morgan of 200 years hence may be selecting seventy-five-year-old partners for their "combination of mental and physical strength." Senator Capper, of Kansas, seeks reduction in railroad freights on grain. Not all farmers realize on grain. That Uncle Sam's money has been spent to make it impossible for farmers in some parts of the United States to pete with Canadian farmers. Northwest Canadian wheat reaches our East Coast and goes through the Panama Canal, at low freight rates. This country built the canal, taxing its During Spirit ELEGROIT, MICH.—Cultivate the spirit of Ruth Elder if you want to succeed in business, was the advice given to a group of women here by Edith Mae Cummings, the former $55 a month "hello" girl who now leads her own million dollar company for retailing Detroit real estate. "To succeed and continue succeeding, a woman must possess the spirit of adventure," said Mrs Cummings in an address before the Edith Mae Cummings School of Business Science for Women here. "She must be willing to take a chance and big enough to run the risk of making a mistake if she thinks she is right. Business is a sporting proposition, and those who win out in the struggle are sportsmen. instincts of false modesty andinate timidity are two major hurdles in the race for success. Many women do not want to get ahead badly enough to try to hurdle them. When a new and untried task, a particularly disagreeable job, or a real responsibility looms upon their business horizon, they automatically fall out of the race. "One of the greatest shocks of my business life occurred in my own office when I learned one of our most capable typists declined a promotion to the selling staff. She was sure of her keys, she said, and the chance of having a real career was not enough to compensate her for the harder work and the risk of failure. That woman will probably die a typist. She won't go any farther because she is a poor sport." the spirit of justice. Shay must leave RUTH ELDER AND GEORGE HALDEMAN. HER COMRADE IN TRANS ATLANTIC FLIGHT to regard life, as Ruth Elder viewed the Atlantic, as the glorious adventure. Victory will never come to those who deliberately sit tight on their own knees. intens, collects the most world use the Canal at the same rate as Americans pay. If you are too fat, you treat your heart unjustly. So does Dr. James McLester. The heart works harder to carry extra weight, but that is only part of it. Fifty to one hundred useless pounds of weight represent endless billions of living cells that demand nourishment, heat, water, and their added share of the energy that causes metabolism, or charge of tissue. Extra weight tires the body, brain and heart, constituting a "boater class" or idle rich class in the system that shortens life, diminishes comfort and usefulness. In that, a human body is like a government. Idle rich that contribute and contribute nothing, except silly opinions, are harmful to the entire body politic and a way should be found to make them work. Mr. Remus, who interrupted a bootlegging career to kill his wife, and was congratulated, rather strangely, by some of the jury that acquitted him, is to have a period of rest under scrutiny. That's to see how his mind is and decide about letting him loose to resume business. His wife is having a longer "period of rest" under the ground. Los Angeles sets a good example to other cities ordering rat-proof features in all new buildings. It would be an excellent idea, and economical for the long run, to make old buildings also rat-proof, the city paying the cost. Modern destructive gases might be used for rat, mouse and insect extermination, including the destruction of the dangerous flea-carrying ground squirrels and gophers. Professor Ross, of Wisconsin University, is worried about overpopulation of the earth. Let married people have four children to a family, let the children marry and do likewise, and population doubles every twenty years. At that rate, this country, in forty years, could have 460,000,000 people, more than China, and in one hundred years, our population would be 3,840,000,000, more than twice the earth's present population. A doctor of Manhattan, Kan, believes he has found a cure for pyorrhea. Mr. Gundlach of Chicago thinks he also knows a cure. A real cure of that curse would be worth fifty billions to its discoverer, and would be cheap at twice that. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Laryngitis One of the most common affections of the throat. It may be acute or chronic. The latter form is rare, I'm glad to say, because it strikes terror to me—the thought of tuberculosis of the larynx. My purpose in this sketch is to deal with the acute form ony. This varies from slight hoarseness with no fever, to the most profound illness, with loss of voice and dangerous temperature. Diphtheria and croup are the most formidable of throat ailments of childhood. An old author once said that rasping is attended by loud, rasping cough; seldom a cough in diphtheria. That was when diagnosis depended entirely on physical signs. The first symptom of laryngitis in any of its forms is—loss of voice. This tells us that the disease is in the larynx—in the vocal "box." It is the signal for immediate action; get the physician at once. Mouth-breathers are by far the most likely to be attacked. To take young children suddenly out of a warm house, into zero temperature, without warm muffler, or woolen wrap placed lightly over the breathing-passages, is to invite trouble; the change from warm to cold should be gradual. Teach children to breathe through the nostrils, if suddenly exposed to cold; they will never forget it. And, be sure there are no adenoids there to obstruct. Prevention is golden here. Keep the child's bowels freely open. Require plenty of drinking-water, and good, plain, nutritious food. Air the bedrooms well during the day. I would not house children too closely — cultivate tolerance for pure, out-door air, but wrap the body warm; especially, keep feet and legs warm and dry. Use the doctor comes, treat the victim with sweating and inhalations of turpentine vapor, eucalyptus oil, or from slaking lime.

PANAMA CANAL The "Montroyals" second West Indies cruise, of 1928, sailing from New York February 29, comprises a total distance of 7,583 miles, and the traveler sees various ports that are wholly different, many of which savor of European countries. Bridgetown, Barbados, is essentially a little bit of old England" in the Caribbean. Havana, the capital of Cuba, is often termed the Paris of the Western hemisphere. It is an interesting Spanish city with many historical sections. Morro Castle and Cabanas ^ *outstreet* are possibly the most outstanding features. Willemstad, the chief town of Curacao, the principal island in the Dutch West Indies, differs again from other ports, for its buildings and environment are almost an exact replica of the atmosphere of the Netherlands. Many of the primitive customs are till in evidence, such as carrying the water in an old-fashioned cart, drawn a burro.

Barbados is the most densely populated country in the world, supporting about 1,180 people to the square mile. Every square foot that is not teeming with humanity is under cultivation. Jamaica, without doubt, is one of the most fascinating points touched by the Caribbean Pacific G. & B. "Montreal," which cruises among these delightful islands each winter. Its mountains rise to high altitudes, and countless rivers a d streams pour --- down their slopes, many breaking into beautiful cascades and waterfalls. Kingston, the capital, has many markets where strange fruits and vegetables of all colors, shapes and sizes interest the visitors. Though the days of the Spanish Main are far away, days that lured Columbus, Ponce de Leon, Drake, Cortes, Hawkins and others, are still being fish to see something of these gem-like islands in this great Hispanician region.

A., the War Camp Community Service, the Liberty Loan Drives, etc., erc' This Volume tells the world how the Negro has won his place and his right to a voice in the affairs of rankind against prejudice, ridicule, hatred, and almost insurmountable obstacles. Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no unceremonial 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 Ameri can and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers are Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spiritred 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 on come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to trance—Battling the Submafine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three months from Negro Stevedores and laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and newman As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE. This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it.
