Vester Nelson was shot at her home on East Canal Street, in this city, some time in May last. I was in the barber shop in the front part of the house. Henry Lawrence and Oscar Jackson were also in the barber shop. I heard the report of a pistol and immediately after I saw Robert Miller come from the room in the rear of the shop, run through the shop next door. After Robert went out I heard some one in the back room say, "Oh Robert, you have shot me." Five or six women went into the room, but I did not know any of them and did not go into the back room till the ambulance came. When I went in I saw Vester Nelson, she was shot at the time I saw her. She was taken to the hospital in the ambulance. LESLIE DUNN Vincent Nelson was sworn and deposed. I live at 117 East Canal Street, in this city. I run a barber shop at this number.

He had an important engagement with another attorney at the Law Building and was on his way to go there. Passing a refrigerator in his own home, he decided to help himself out of the ice box. He opened the door and with the pressure of the ice behind it, the pitcher overturned and the entire contents, good buttermilk, splashed upon him, wetting him from his collar to his shoes. There was nothing to do, but to make a complete change of apparel, shoes and socks included. By request we are omitting the name, but then you will know. He is a "big eater". Henrico County Grand Jury Acts Promptly--Graphic Scene at Preliminary Hearing. Judge Pitt Certified Case----Attorney Moss Asks for Commission of Lunacy. (Special by John Mitchell Jr.) The grand jury of Hircoico County Circuit Court met at the courthouse in this city Monday at 10:00 A. M. in special session, with Judge Julien Gunn presiding. A true bill was found and Sylvester Medley indicted for murder. His trial was set for July 31, 1928. I witnessed one of the most remarkable scenes last Friday morning, July 6th, 1928 ever staged in any court in this commonwealth, even though it was a Police Court of Henrico County, Va. Sylvester Medley was to have a preliminary hearing upon a charge of murder. He had shot and killed a white youth, 16 years of age; shot and seriously wounded a Mrs. Nellie L. Haskins; shot and wounded Henry F. Grimmell, his employer; and shot at, without wounding, Evelyn Haskins, the young and comely daughter of Mrs. Haskins. This took place Saturday, June 30, 1928 at about 4 A. M. ON OTHER BUSINESS. A crowd filled the courtroom. I had thought that they were there, this array of white and colored folks on account of this sensational hearing, but after Judge A. Taylor Pitt had ascended the bench and proceeded with the regular docket. I found out that these people had other business and when they had transacted it, proceeded to go about their business. Some of the hearings were grotesquely humorous. A MOTHER'S DEVOTION These cases out of the way, the court-room was cleared. A few moments later Sheriff Sealy appeared leading a boy a youth with a hand-cuff on his wrist. He sank into a seat at the desk beside his counsel, Attorney Charles W. Moss, while his mother went over to him and threw her arms around him and gave him a long drawn kiss, while the dark-skinned individual nestled on her breast. This over, the witnesses were called and sworn. I had seen two white females, young ladies, enter the court-room and take a seat on a front bench. Both were faultlessly attired in white, while one of them leaned upon the other. THE LEADING WITNESS. Miss Evelyn Haskins, the young sister of the murdered youth, was to furnish the setting for the beginninz of this remarkable case. When called to the witness chair she was overcome with emotion and a movement was made to have her retreated in order to permit her to regain her composure. She did $n_0$ consent to this. There was silence in the court room. Judge Pitt's gaze rested upon the witness Right across from her, with his head and face partially shielded by both hands sat Sylvester Medley. His dark complexion and (Continued on page 4) RICHMOND ,VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY, JULY 14 1928 Shepherds Pay $2,750.00 in Death Claims The following death claims have been paid by the Grand Secretary: Treasurer: Theodore Williams, Ever- green.

Brinkley, for three years and three months pastor of what is now the Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, has been offered the Deanship of the Theological Department of Benedict College, Columbia, S. C. Benedict College is an A grade college and one of the leading schools supported and managed by the Baptist Home Mission Society of New York. It is a most attractive offer. A few days ago Rev. Mr. Brinkley also received a unanimous call to the pastorate of the Grove Baptist Church, Portsmouth, Va. This is the church made prominent in Baptist ranks by that of preachers and pioneer leaders, Dr. H. L. Barco, is reputed to have a membership of one thousand and offers unlimited possibilities to a man with a vision. Both offers are under advisement and no decision has been reached. Rev. J. A. Brinkley is a graduate from both the College and Theological Departments of Virginia Union University with the degrees of B. A., and B. D., and was recently honored by this Almor Mews the degree of Doctor of Divinity. By his foresight, quick decision, prompt action and uniting effort he succeeded in housing the erstwhile new Baptist Church in one of the handsomest and most modern houses of worship in the South, the name of which per his suggestion was changed to the Mosby Memorial Baptist Church.

Bowles Leads Democrats NATIONAL IDEAL SOCIETY HOLDS GREAT MEETINGS IN NORFOLK AND NEWPORT NEWS On Thursday night, June 28th, the membership of the National Ideal Benefit Society of Norfolk District turned out in large numbers at the Red Men's Hall, the occasion being their membership campaign which was continued until July 30th. This was a most enthusiastic meeting with interest at its height and the largest attendance of any other previous occasion. In the absence of the Supreme Master and founder, Mr. A. W. Holmes, an address was delivered by Mrs. Lelia W. Bankett, National Lecturer. Mrs. Clara Holland served as Mistress of Ceremonies. Deputy S. C. Jackson and others made spicy remarks. Friday, June 29th, a great meeting was held in Newport News at Zion Baptist Church, Rev. C. E. Jones, D. D., pastor. Deputy Cora L. Jenkins had marshaled her forces in a manner that, despite the down pour of rain, the main auditorium of the church was well filled with members of the Order and their friends. An entertaining program was rendered. The principal speaker, Hon. A. W. Holmes, was at his best. His rich experience, strong character and business qualifications easily class him among the most noted and highly respected men in the country. In his address, he laid great emphasis on the help that the Order Colored Me "Al" Smith for A. M. Bowles L. Interviewing colored folks is a task not so easily accomplished. Certain prominent colored men here are ardent supporters of Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, for President. Some others, while favoring him, are not so sure that he can overcome the handicaps and run successfully in the coming contest. It was soon after the news had come that the Houston Convention had named "Al" Smith, of New York, and Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, as presidential candidates, that I called on Dr. A. M. Bowles, the successful pharmacist at Third and Clay Streets. "What do you think of the ticket, doctor?" I asked. "It is a winning ticket. I shall support it. An Al Smith Club was organized right here yesterday and I am president of it." This was surprising information to me. I saw Dr. George W.

To further substantiate this statement, he gave the following citation as evidence of what the National Ideal Benefit Society will do to aid and finance worthy members of the race: Down in Surry County, Virginia, lives an aged man named Mr. Bolden Morris, who owns 419 acres of land, on which stand two old buildings. To one is attached a deal of history and is known as the Rolfe House. It is indeed interesting to know that this house was built in the year 1653, by Thomas Rolfe, the son of Pocahontas.

Very recently, Mr. Bolden negotiated with Dr. W. A. R.

The annual output of this province alone is more than 20,000,000 pounds of butter, or enough for 750,000,000 slices of bread, according to a recent report of the department of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Alberta is the third largest producer of butter of the nine provinces of Canada, the department figures show. Most of the land in Alberta that twenty-five years ago was the pasture of thousands of beef cattle is now a product farmed and farming country, driving as one of the most profitable branches. The cow population of the province today is more than 400,000, as compared with 147,687 in 1911.

GIVING THE LIP-STICK Lipsticks are the only big sticks that American women are interested in wielding. The eternally feminine American has discovered that she can do more with one of those two inch sticks of cream, oil, and coloring matter that she buys in fancy green or gold containers than a reformer can accomplish with the biggest and best hickory bough in captivity. Women have long since decided that it is more laudable to appear naturally artificial than unnaturally anemic. Not only have they found that they may depend upon their lipstick to stencil charm, character fascination, allure into their otherwise unattractive faces but, according to their needs, to length their broadest expressions or plump out their hollow cheeks. In using your lipstick, however, always remember these three underlying principles: **THIN FACES**-Extend the corners of your mouth with your lipstick to create an illusion of facial width faintly outline your cupid's bow. FAT FACES — Make up only the center of your lips, emphasizing the cupid's bow as much as possible so as to concentrate attention on the up-and-down lines of your face. NORMAL FACES — Follow nature's own lip line, taking care to keep your stick inside rather than allowing it to slip over. Lipsticks that closely match a woman's own coloring, when carefully and skillfully applied, will improve the beauty of any face. The abc Bailey Furni W. A.

Buenos Aires today in its well-ordered existence gives no word of those other days. There is a hint of tropical warmth in the spreading vegetation, too, which imparts no idea that the great South American capital also has its cold season. It is seen our beyond-the-isthmus cousins resort to North American ingenuity. in the home to which belongs this pretty garden scene, an Illinois-made oil-burner gives tropical warmth so the indoors whenever it is desired by such luxury-lovers as the pretty tenorita shown here.

We needed the money. It is all right to talk religion, but it is not all wrong to practice the religion about which you are talking If a non-Catholic should not vote against Governor Alfred E. Smith for President, because he is a Roman Catholic, then a Catholic should not vote for Governor Alfred E. Smith because he is a Roman Catholic. If reports from New York are to be accredited, the Governor Smith's supporters are arranging for a sufficient quantity of grease to lubricate the machinery in the present political context. They are absolutely right in doing so too. Hon. Marcus Garvey has gone to England, but not to Africa. There has been much discussion as to the wisdom of his expending $5,000.00 for the use of a big hall with about three hundred people present. If he had the press present, and the reporters reported what he said, the meeting was really well attended, even though only fifty people were present. It was the advertising that he was after. ized an "Al" Smith Club in this ized an "Al" Smith Club here in this city and the president and one of the leading offcials are reported to have been in New York this week, where the Smith managers were in consulta- tion. We cannot vouch for the correctness of this statement, but business along that line must be done here and Gov. Harry F. Byrd will be the statesman to see about this matter and he will evidently refer the committee to some local magna- te who may take an interest in corro- ling the Negro vote hereabouts for the brilliant candidate from the "Sidewalks of New York." A STRONG CANDIDATE The nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith as the Democratic nominee for President by the Democratic National Convention at Heuston, Texas, although previously discounted by the knowledge that it was an event that must take place has nevertheless created something of the nature of consternation inside of the Republican ranks. This has been due to the fact that it is believed that Smith can carry practically all of the Atlantic seaboard, including the New England States, where the numeral strength of electoral votes is greatest. Couple with this the Solid South and the story will be soon told on the morning after the election. The Republicans cannot base any substantial hope on the serious defences now announced in the States of the Southland for the reason that the Democratic political machines control the electors and the electoral votes. These States may show heavy slumps in the vote, but as a rule, just enough will be left to keep it from being counted for the Republican ticket. The Republicans realize this and they will center their effort on border States like West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, while making bluffs at carrying States further South. By the nomination of Alfred E. Smith, it has been settled that a citizen's religion shall not prove a bar to his aspiring for the highest office in the gift of the electorate. But his election to that office is another question. The religious clans will conduct a whispering campaign, which may prove to be injurious and disastrous The talk about limiting campaign expenditures will be treated somewhat like the announcement that we are living in a "dry" country. Many enquiries are being made as to the attitude of the colored people in this campaign. It is an unknown quantity. The reports from New York State, where Governor Smith resides, are not all that a colored advocate would wish in a contest of this sort. The brilliant New Yorker is reported not to have shown himself as being against the "brother in black" and he has given no intimation that he is for him. No interview can be quoted where he has expressed a kindly feeling for the citizens of color, save where he has stated that he would faithfully enforce all Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, although he was in favor of a modification of one of them—the Eighteenth. Still, Governor Smith's letter of acceptance is yet to come and it may be that he will deal then with this all important subject. We can wait and see what we shall see. Sylvester Medley Indicted (Continued from Page 1) blue overalls, contrasted strangely with the other settings in this court of law. PLEADED FOR MERCY. Miss Haskins told her story. She said that Sylvester had been employed there for more than a year. She did not know of any reason for his act. He was a fairly good servant. He was a farm-hand, but he worked about the kitchen and on that morning she heard a shot and came downstairs. Sylvester had taken the gun that usually was kept in the kitchen and had shot Mrs. Haskins. Then he shot the adoptive son of Henry F. Grimmell, killing him, and then he shot at her despite the fact that she pleaded with him to have mercy. She appeared overcome and time was given for her to compose herself. She said that Sylvester was a good hand in reply to the question of Attorney Charles W. Moss, she could conceive of no reason for his act. OFFICER SADLER'S EFFORT. Commonwealth's Attorney Ratchie asked a few questions and the witness was excused. Officer Sadler was put on the stand to state what Sylvester Medley had said to him. No sooner had Commonwealth's Attorney Ratchie directed him to testify on this point, when there was a commotion due to the stern voice of Sheriff Seay, when Officer Sadler stated that he got his information since the youth had been confined in the Henrice jail in the custody of the sheriff. SHERIFF WRATHY. It was Officer Blankenship to whom Medley was delivered by representative of the Richmond Police Department. "I ask Your Honor to rule out this testimony." thundered the sheriff. Looking directly at Officer Sadler, he said. "This talk with the prisoner was in direct violation of my orders. It was done unbeknown to me. I told you the youth had counsel. I told Attorney Moss that no one had talked with the prisoner. I ask that this testimony be ruled out." It was a surprising situation. Judge Pitt ruled promptly and Officer Sadler left the stand without saying a word more on that subject. PLAYED TRUANT. ____ Then followed Sylvester Medley's mother, Mrs Queen Watkins. Her husband was in the court-room. She said that she had been married twice. She explained, in reply to questions that she had Sylvester in the Buchanan School. He played truant to such an extent that she, in conjunction with the truant officer and the probation officer of the Juvenile Court turned him over to the Court. This was four years ago, when Sylvester was 13 years of age and he had been under the jurisdiction of that Court ever since. She had hoped that the Juvenile Court would be able to do for him, what she was unable to do. DID NOT DEVELOP Her husband had been sick three years. "If he had remained at school he would not be sitting there today," she said as she cast a look at her son, who was sitting in the chair by the sheriff, with his hands covering his mouth and nose. She said that he did not seem to develop like other children, but retained a child's mind as he grew older. He had visited her and said that he did not want to go back to Mrs. Haskins. Mrs. Haskins came to see her before she went to New York and said that she would want Sylvester again when she returned. THE JUVENILE LAW This concluded. Attorney Charles W. Moss cited the law governing minors, children under 18 years of age. "This boy is a minor" said he and the legislature passed sections governing such cases. You are sitting. Your Honor, in the capacity of a judge of a juvenile court. Sections 1905 and 1950 show your absolute jurisdiction in this case. Children are wards of the State and he is here not as the son of his mother. Formerly under the old statutes, they were treated as adults. But humanitarian laws now prevail. WANTED LUNACY COMMISSION. "I ask that a clinic be held and the status of this boy determined. If the count is, without such a clinic then city of Richmond can provide it. It is evident that he be rs feeble minded. Certainly. I feel and an- THE BICHMOND PLANET. BICHMOND' VIRGINIA prelate the horror of this crime. For this reason, it is essential to determine whether this boy's mind is affected. Judge A. Taylor Pitt did not hesitate to rule. He refused to discuss this phase of the case. He overruled the motion saying that the trial court could be appealed to for such a clinic. Attorney Charles W. Moss wanted it entered on the record that the coroner's jury had been convicted without the presence of the prisoner. This ended the hearing. L THE FUTURE OUTLOOK. Sylvester Medley was led back to the jail adjoining. No comment was heard from any one present either for or against the prisoner. The machinery of the law had begun functioning and on Monday, July 9, 1928 a grand jury would formally indict the prisoner and a petit jury would be convened when the usual motions would be made and either granted or overruled. It is evident that a commission of lunacy will be convened. On its findings will depend as to whether or not Sylvester Medley will be tried for murder or incarcerated in a lunatic asylum for life. National Ideal Society (Concluded from page 1) was able to pay off the mortgage and get a clear deed. He still has to his credit a splendid cash balance, besides 399 acres of land and a land house on a reach to live, with everything of debt. Thus he is telling the story and singing the praises of the National Ideal Benefit Society who was his strong deliverer and great defense. After listening to the wonderful message coming from the Supreme Master, Mrs. Lelia W. Bankett, National Lecturer, was introduced by the eminent pastor, Rev. C. E. Jones, D. D. He gave a beautiful description of Mrs. Bankett's career, having known her intimately well from childhood, through association with her lamented father, before his death. It's needless to say, Mrs. Bankett pleased, her audience. Due credit is here given to Mrs. Cora L. Jenkins and her associates for the splendid meeting held. Mrs. Daisy L. Cooke, in her charming manner, served as Mistress of Ceremonies. Mme. Bruce and others made timely remarks. After making announcement that the Membership Drive would be continued until Tuesday, July 31st, the meeting was brought to a close by benediction from the pastor. The members and friends then went down again in the lecture room and enjoyed the refreshments that were served by a splendid committee of ladies.

Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L.

Many foods used daily in millions of American kitchens were born in the stress of wars involving the fate of empires. Beet sugar, for instance, was first made commercially possible by Napoleon in his efforts to break the English naval blockade strangling France. Condensed milk was first used to the Union soldiers in the Civil War. Soya beans and bean oil became standard commodities in the Russo-Japanese war when the soldiers of the Mikado learned of their nutritive qualities of the most romantic food tales concerns the discovery of margarine. Napoleon III in his disastrous war with the Prussians was responsible for the discovery of this product now common in millions of households. The stage of Paris by the Prussian hosts in 1870 threatened famine to the city. Cattle which the French army had conscripted from the neighboring countryside were being This Is Your Last Chance. A detailed description may be found in another column. Here is the coupon: HARVESTING GOCONUTS IN LAMBOANGA slaughtered and the life giving fats rapidly destroyed. In desperation the Emperor, whom a waggish historian described as "whether the son of his father, nor the father of his son," offered a prize to anyone who would transform the finer fats into a lasting palatable food product. So Flippepy Meyer-Montries a French chanel, began experimenting in its laboratory near the Seine. While the German gums pounded on the side of Paris he created a formula for fattening cakes of preparing milk by boiling them hot, and the result was a food of great palatability which its originator called "margarine." The French scientist's discovery failed to save Paris and the Second Empire, but it did result in the establishment of a woolen industry because of the heat and economy of the new product.

Abbott of Washington, D. C., secretary of the Institute of American magazine industry, was used to 250,000.01 pounds in 1927, or enough to give every man woman, and child in the country 2.5 pounds above. Today they are sixy-three magazine functions in which millions of dollars are invested. The industry gives employment to thousands "American workers. The labor and investee in the preparation of the product, in the production of the ingredients in the hand, in the processing of the products represents a business of about one million every year." RICHMOND, VIRGINIA new foods part of the competition of margarine for the reason that it contains nearly all the food elements necessary for the growth of infants and children. Fats can be more easily distributed in milk than in anything else. Milk, too, gives margarine much of its flavor. Scientists of the U S Department of Agriculture declare that the flavor of butter is not due to the butter fats, but to the flavoring substances formed in the ripening or souring of the milk or cream from which it is made. These identical substances give the flavor to margarine which even connoisseurs find difficult to distinguish from butter. No other food product the housewife uses is made under more sanitary conditions. In addition to each margarine maker's careful methods of manufacture, especially employed government inspectors pass on the quality of the product made. While the prejudices of a decade ago against margarine in this country are rapidly disappearing, America trails far behind Europe in the consumption of the product. Margarine has developed such popularity on the Continent that in several leading dairying countries butter is used as a substitute for margarine. The average Dane sets 45½ pounds of margarine annually, the Norwegian 33½, the Hollander 12 2-3, the German 12½, and the Englishman 11½ pounds. Per capita consumption in the United States is a little over two pounds yearly. "Farmers who produce the ingredients used in margarine derive a valuable income annually from the industry. From the livestock-raiser's point of view, increased consumption of margarine in American homes means additional revenue. since the fins animal fats and oils are worth more when used in making margarine than for any other purpose. Margarine is prominently an American farm product. "More than 73,699.918 pounds of milk from American dairy farms 33,723.354 pounds of cottonseed oil 43,740.091 pounds of beef oil 23,871.611 pounds of neutral lard. 2,070.045 pounds of butter. 5,144.542 pounds of stearine. 2,551.026 pounds of olc stock. and 108,653.883 pounds of coconut oil were used in the manufacture of margarine in 1927." Dietitians point out that all of the ingredients of margarine a. we known articles of food which average American eats in one or another every day. Milk forms XII MILK FROM PURE BRED GOWS In Denmark which is one of the great dairy countries of Europe, practically all the farmers export their butter to England and serve margarine on the family table, according to Dr Mikkel Hindede of Denmark, internationally famous nutrition expert now lecturing in America. "The people of Denmark eat about a half as much butter as Americans and nearly twenty times as much margarine," said Dr. Hindede "and the Danes are cole to their health and sturge." The death rate in Denmark from tuberculosis, various forms of kidney disease, and other aliments due primarily to improper die is about 30 per cent less than the death rate from siming cattle in the United States. ALFRED EMANUEL SMITH JOSEPH T. ROBINSON 5 AND ORGANIZATION. • ONEY. ...OUT AMBITION? COUND IN MOVIES. Flour manufacturers, including Washburn-Crosby and Red Star, organized a $30,000,000 combination largest flour milling concern just the world. That's in the line of modern methods, big units, small overhead, powerful marketing. This news will interest farmers and make them wish somebody could show them how to organize. The first thing, and absolutely necessary, is to organize and intensify methods of production. An old-fashioned blacksmith cannot compete with a modern automobile factory. Childish talk of "necessary competition" and prattle about keeping business from getting "too big" are out of date. Where nations combine to move the world business, great American units must combine for oil defense. Possibly some one will find a way to help our farmers form such a combination. They need it. The French settle down courageously to the drastic new money rate. Four-fifths of its value is cut from their money as a result of a war WHICH THEY WON. They face that situation bravely. In place of paper money, meaning little to peasants and working people, the French again will see gold and silver coins in circulation. The gossie piece, size and weight of our dollar, will not come back. Worth five francs before the war, it would be worth twenty-five francs now. But ten-franc silver coins worth forty cents will be coined, and the French will feel that they are working for REAL MONEY. Stabilizing the franc is a boon to all Europe ending financial disorder that has lasted ten years. It is a great achievement by Peincarne, worthy successor of Thiers, Turgot, Necker, Sully, and a long list of brilliant French statesmen. Sir James Barrie tells Rhodes' scholars not to try for "greatness." The advice was humorous, probable. Trying for greatness produces a sensible medicine. Men who are short-bellied are ill-trained.

A baby cries for the moon and is satisfied with a cooky. Youth reaches for greatness and is content with modest achievement and on the golf course. Winfield R Sheehan, who knows about moving pictures, says screens will be much bigger for large sized theatres now building everywhere. That will make it necessary to revise production methods. Most important for budding genius, he says the "talking movie" will create a new army of scenario writers, knowing how to make sound in detective pictures. A detective story, noise of a creaking board, or a shot, might be more effective than the hero's smile. Mr. Sheehan believes that the pictures with sound will double moving picture attendance. In New York's brutal dancing contest—the dance to go on until all but one couple drop—the female dancers, nervously exhausted, slap their partners faces. Then the men slap the women's faces vigorously. The yahows, called "fans" looking on, skirt well, delight, as the half enclosed dancers strike each other. Such is our poor imitation of the Roman arena.

Manchuria was a poor relation among the wealthy nations of the world. Her foreign trade totalled less than $60,000,000 a year. Bandits overran her plains. There was no school system, no hospitals, no libraries. Today Manchuria's foreign trade averages $400,000 a year.

From 1910 to 1920 the increase of wives and mothers in manufacturing and mechanical occupations increased 41 percent, in school teaching 100 per cent, stenography 400 per cent, and professional pursuits approximately 250 per cent. Having married and a career has now become an unconscious process. The mating mechanism of society is involuntarily changing to fit it. Within fifty years there will be no such thing as a one-job wife. By that time women in general will be able to analyze themselves and select those occupations for them. Even the sit-tenalts best fit them. Even the sit-tenalts who find their niches are in their own homes will have put their home-making and child-raising on a professional basis."

It may shock some people to learn that there are in the State counties even today which have less than one per cent of the homes equipped with proper sewage disposal and safe water supplies; but the most backward county in Virginia today is above the average for all Virginia fifteen years ago, and there are today in Virginia a number of counties which can boast of sewage disposal well on the way to 100 per cent, such as Arlington with 95 per cent reported, Roanoke with 87 per cent reported, Middlesex with 85 per cent reported and fifteen or more between 60 per cent and 80 per cent.

Byrd, the barber, thought that Hoover would win in the campaign and be the next President. Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, was cautious in his remarks, but finally said that from the information he had from the churches, he thought that with the campaign movements now under way, Herbert Hoover would be the next President of the United States. Rev. J. A. Brinkley, pastor of the Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, Randolph Street, said that he believed that Smith would poll a large colored vote, but he did not think that he would be elected President. Dr. George A. Thompson was of the opinion that Smith would be elected. Dr. Andrew Robinson was outspoken in his belief that Hoover would succeed Calvin Coolidge. T. F.
