THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VIRGINIA DEC 21 1929 WALLER WINS VERDICT AGAINST PREACHER IN HEART BALM SUIT FOR $5,000. May Sue His Wife's Father for $15,000. The $5,000 suit of Alonzo C. Waller against Rev. Leroy Frayer for alleged alienation of the affections of Waller's wife was heard in Hustings Court, Part II, Tuesday, December 17th, with Judge Ernest H. Wells presiding. The case was on the docket for the second time, a new hearing having been granted Frayer by Judge Wells upon motion of Frayer's counsel that the original verdict of $500 damages in favor of Waller be set aside because of the admission of certain letters alleged to have been passed between Frayer and Mrs. Waller, and also the admission of an alleged confession made by Waller's wife to Waller. This is the first case here among our race group aired in the courts for alienation of affections in the form of a suit for damages and has caused much comment. The testimony offered at the trial was sensational, Waller charging that Rev. Frayser had deliberately taken his wife from him and Frayser as vehemently denying any wrongdoing on the part of Waler's wife or himself. Rev. Frayser was valiantly supported by his wife, who testified in his behalf, denying that there had been any semblance of amorous relations between her husband and Waller's wife. The legal lilts between Attorneys T. Dix Sutton and F. A. Roscher, representing Rev. Frayser and Thomas I. Valley for the plaintiff, were fiercely and exhibited a wonderful knowledge of the law. The effort to the defense was to exclude certain damaging documents and evidence that was admitted in the first trial, and the plaintiffs were equally determined to have them admitted. Authorities and precedents from California, Nevada and other States were adduced in this battle as to the admissibility of certain evidence in alienation causes before the courts. The jury found for Alonzo C. Waller and judgment was entered against Rev. Leroy Frayer. The suit was filed originally on April 17, 1919, and the first suit terminated in a $500 judgment against Rev. Frayer on Wednesday, June 12, 1929. Alonzo Waller operates the Leigh Street and Leigh Street, and Rev. Leroy Frayer is a postal employee here and is a well-respected citizen. He resides on Brook Road. The Rev. Leroy Frayer is not Rev. Leroy E. Frayer of 1521 Brook Road. When seen at his place of business Waller said that he divorced SPECIAL FEATURE EACH WEEK ON PAGE FOUR. Frank Parker Stockbridge's TODAY AND TOMORROW A Column of thoughtful interpretation of the world's progress written for people who think EVERY WEEK IN THIS PAPER his wife in December of 1928 and waited for Richmond gossips to get their fill talking about him and then he began his suit. He said he had spent thousands of dollars to make his wife and child happy. He provided a nice home at 1200 Wallace Street for them and ordered an automobile delivered to her on January 3, 1928, and a garage built. In the face of all of this his wife carried him before the Juvenile Court for alleged non-support. "When I went to her father with the incriminating letter from Frayser, he criticised me" and said that it must have been because of something I had done to her, and further that he did not like me anyway. He called me a bootleger and police spotted, and I am contemplating bringing suit against him for $15,000 for defamation of character. "My wife alleged that I secured the confession from her at the point of a gun. It was proven to the jury that there was no gun on the scene. I admit that I promised to take her back if she told the truth. I meant to bear this burden. But the horrified and desperate father came upon the scene and said she did not have to take anything off me. I then slipped $200 to my lawyer and told him to fight for me. This was how this jewel of a girl was brought before the public. The gossips began to say things about me, but I let them rave until I saw fit to bring things to a test. The only thing to do was to let the courts settle it. If the Richmond gossips do not feel that I am justified in doing what I have done, they can meet me back of the Fair Grounds." Deacon Robert Christian Is Killed Instantly. Richmond was shocked Wednesday evening of this week when it was reported that Mr. Robert Christian, of 614 North Eighth Street, had been instantly killed by an automobile at the corner of Eighth and Leigh Streets, at 5:30 P. M., only half a block from home, where he was headed after a day of toil at his post with the firm of Neal & Binford, in South Richmond. Mr. Christian was struck as he was crossing on Leigh headed north by an automobile driven by Paul A. Condit, white 2400 block Fourth Avenue. The driver is under arrest on a charge of manslaughter. He was the husband of Mrs. Dele Christian, a well-known church-worker, affiliated for many years with the First Baptist Church. ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN RE FUSES TO SERVE ON COM- MITTEE WITH DEPRIEST Representative Allgood (Democrat), from Alabama, resigned from the Enrolled Bills Committee when he learned that Representative Oscar DePriest had also been assigned to this committee. Allgood, who has served on the committee several years, said: "The Enrolled Bills Committee is an honorary committee, and as soon as he learned of DePriest's assignment he concluded he did not desire the honor any longer." "The House readily accepted the resignation when it was presented by Speaker Longworth. DePriest is also a native of Alabama and has been assigned to the Indian Affairs Committee. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929. BOY WINS VA. PRIZE FOR KILLING FLIES. Junior Burks, seven-year-old colored boy, grandson of Emily Burks, of East Radford, Va., wins an extra prize of $5.00 and honorable mention in the State killing contest that ended on December 5, 1929. Three prizes were offered by Dr. Mary E. Brydon, Director of the Bureau of Child Health, State Department of Health, to the individuals in three counties in the State reporting the greatest number of flies caught in traps during 1929. Howard Schaub, aged 13, won the first prize of $25 and caught 22 quarts of flies. It was felt that Junifor Burks had made such a splendid showing with 14 quarts of flies that he should receive this extra oze of $5. The prizes were offered by Dr. Brydon because it is believed that the germs of infantile paralysis are spread by flies. There have been 308 cases of this disease in Virginia this year. It is known that many other diseases are fly-borne and filthborne. There are typhoid, dysentery, diarrhoea and summer complaint of babies, and each year many people die needlessly in Virginia from these diseases. Junior Burks not only killed 17 quarts of flies in accordance with the rules of the contest, but the county nurse, Miss Ella T. Whitten, and the county sanitation education chairman, Mrs. C. W. Wiltsee, reported that was a four point home. That means that it had: (1) Safe sewage disposal; (2) water safeguarded; (3) house screened; (4) adequate fly control. Few people really understand just what is meant by these four points, and the Burks' home is one of a comparatively small number that is properly safeguarded in these four essential points. Special recognition will be given on Child Health Day to the four point homes in every community, the State Department of Health reports, and Junior Burks will be able to point with pride to his four point home.

(Pusater News Service) New York, Dec.—A mighty wave of working class protest is sweeping the army against the murders by United States imperialists of the heroic workers and peasants who have once again taken up arms against American domination and exploitation of their country. Thousands of Negro and white workers attended the two mass meetings called in this city by the American Negro Labor Congress to mobilize working class protest against the machine gun rule of the United States and its puppet President Boro in Haiti. The first meeting was held Thursday evening, December 12, at Tivoli Hall, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and had an attendance of nearly fifty per cent white workers out of an audience of more than six hundred. The second, held at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West One Hundred and Thirtieth Street, brought out fully 200 whites out of a total of over one thousand workers. At both meetings the response of the workers to the remarks of the speakers showed how deeply moved is the entire American working class over the outrages against the Haitian masses. A resolution, drawn up by the national office of the American Negro Labor Congress, and sharply denouncing the American occupation and its crimes against the Haitian people and demanding the immediate independence of Haiti, was enthusiastically adopted at both meetings. The reading of the manifesto issued by American Negro Labor Congress, and appearing this week in its official organ, "The Liberator," was also received with thunderous applause. Delegates from various working class organizations took the floor after the regular speakers to express complete solidarity with the American Negro Labor Congress in its efforts to mobilize the entire working class, white and Negro, against the oppression of the Haitian masses and the attempts of the Hoover administration to suppress in blood the present revolt. The speakers at both meetings represented a wide range of working class activities, and included the following: Albert Moreau, of the All American Anti-Imperialist League; John Schmaiss, of the Trade Union Unify League; Richard B. Moore, of the Harlem Tenants League; Otto Huiswoud, Otto Hall, J. W. Ford and William Burroughs, of the American Negro Labor Congress; George Mink, of the Marine Workers' League; Roger Baldwin, of the Civil Liberties Bureau; Robert Dunn, of the Labor Research Association; Jeane Lamonthe, of the Haitian Patriotic Union; Louis Engdahl, of the International Labor Defense, and Scott Nearing. The meetings are under the auspices of the Brooklyn and Harlem branches of the American Negro Labor Congress. Cyril Briggs, national secretary of the American Negro Labor Congress, gave out a statement today that similar protest meetings were 1929 PAIS RICHMOND, VA.

Dec. 14. Commending the witnesses for their annual vesitation, Judge Ralph Givens this morning in Police Court dismissed the case against two Howard University students charged with disorderly conduct and assault in an altercation with two officers last Monday morning at Sixth Street and Howard Place. Judge Givens stated that he had never tried a case in which he was more convinced of the truthfulness of witnesses than of the seven students and one instructor who testified for the defense in this case. He said their testimony reflected the highest credit upon the character training given at Howard University. The two students, Leroy A. Clay, age 19, of Baltimore, Md., and Jas. P. Ramsey, age 19, of Philadelphia, Pa., were driving in a Ford roadster to the university campus on Monday morning when words were exchanged with the occupants of another car, who later proved to be officers of the law. A fight ensued, attracting a large number of students, with the possibility of serious consequences. Clay and Ramsey were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and assault. Both charges were dismissed against Clay and Ramsey was released on his personal bond. The two students were defended by Attorney George E. C. Hayes, with Assistant District Attorney Fitzpatrick representing the government. Richmond Girl Murdered By Husband in N.Y.

Man Rescues White Woman (By The Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., Dec.-Risking his own life, Dorsey Davis, employed as a cook at a roadside inn, rescued Mrs. Irene Wilkes, a white woman, from a burning automobile in which she and her husband were trapped when the car overturned and caught fire. The accident occurred on a highway near here and Davis saw it from his kitchen window. Rushing to the burning automobile while more than a score of spectators looked on, Davis wrenched the door of the car open and pulled the woman from it, but not before her clothing had caught fire. He extinguished the flames and went back to rescue Wilkes. The second rescue could not be effected due to the flames, and the heat therefrom, and the man was burned to a crisp.

PRICE FIVE OENTS SAVERS. ond Girl red By d in N.Y. Axe Wielded In Row. Daniel Booker, murdered his wife, Mrs. Virginia Booker, was an axe in their apartment, at 220 West Sixty-fourth Street, New York City, and is being held thereon without bail on a charge of murder. The Bookers are from Richmond and resided on Church Hill prior to their going to New York to live. Mrs. Booker was only 21 years of age and is survived by many relatives here. Her parents operate a store at 1200 North Thirty-first Street. Randolph Bros. were in charge of the remains and superintended the interment. It is charged that the infuriated husband wielded his weapon against Mrs. Virginia Booker, 21 years old, about midnight while startled tenants outside in the hall were unable to come to her assistance. According to neighbors, the pair began the fatal argument early in the evening over a rug which the wife had bought on the installment plan. The quarrel continued until nearly midnight, when the woman was heard by neighbors to cry out in fear. "He's got an axe!" Before anyone could go to her aid the now excited listeners outside the door of the Booker apartment heard the dull thud of a body striking the floor. Someone ran to the street and summoned Patrolman Cassidy of the West Sixty-eighth Street police station. When the officer broke into the apartment a few minutes later he found Booker standing trembling near his wife's body. He made no attempt to resist arrest. EDITORIAL Much favorable comment has been heard this week about the great merger effected here last week, when the St. Luke Bank and Trust Company and the Second Street Savings Bank were united in one big banking institution, to be known as the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company. The new institution will open its doors January 1st in the quarters now occupied by the St. Luke Bank, at First and Marshall Streets. Emmett C. Burke is president and Walter S. Banks, secretary-treasurer. This will give an impetus to Richmond's business life and increase the economic standing of the colored people of this community. Business men generally express the thought that the move was a healthy one, and the man on the street is pleased at the prospect of our folks learning to get together. With Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, chairman of the board, and John T. Taylor, assistant chairman, the institution has at its disposal the best business sagacity and experience extant in Richmond.

HISTORY PROVES INTERESTING Club Has Been Held Intact For Number of Years With Teacher Members September of 1922 found a group of young women interested in art, literature and thrift, to such an extent that they organized themselves into a club. This club was known as the Paramount Art and Literary Savers. Under the leadership of Miss Ruth O. Deane, the founder, the club made rapid strides in accomplishing its aim. The club is still progressing under the guidance of its second president, Miss L. Gertrude Chambers. The literary achievements of the club have been the study of Negro history and Eichler's books on etiquette. The club observes annually mothers' club and music week, special attention being given to compositions by Negro artists. Stunt night and a playlet based on THE RIGHMOND PLANET, RIGHMOND, VIRGINIA The Negro Organization Society Plans Extensive Program For 1930. WM. R. JOHNSON, EX-SECRE TARY NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY The Negro Organization Society, Incorporated, plans expansive and definite program. For seventeen years it has worked under the motto of "Better Homes, Better Health, Better Schools and Better Farms" doing its best to better conditions in these fields. The last annual meeting, which was held at Chase City, Va., November 13th-15th of this year, brought to the attention of those in charge that the opportunity was presenting itself for the setting forth of a greater and more definite program. It will be interesting to note that the society was described at the U. S. Department of Health in October as one of the most unique organizations in America. It appears on the registry at the Department of Health as an authoritative source and consultant organization on national Negro health problems. Two years ago at a call meeting of the Executive Committee at the executive offices in Richmond revealed ten fact, according to Miss Randolph, of the Tuberculosis Division of the Department of Health of the State of Virginia, who stated in her address: "Tuberculosis in Virginia with regards to Negroes has considerably decreased during the past fifteen years, and it is largely due to the efforts of the Negro Organization Society." In the field of health for 1980 it is planned that a more intensive health program be fostered along with well training more in detail early in the new year. In our school program, which bears a close relation to that of the State Teachers' Association under the esteemed leadership of Dr. J. M. Gandy and L. F. Palmer, we find that there are two definite lines to be pursued. Realizing that the equipment of the teachers and the like are being taken care of, the society proposes to specialize in the improvement of schools materially. Some one stated sometime ago that there was no work for the society to do now. Our good friends seem to have forgotten those persons in the lesser communities who have been assisted lengthening of school terms which meant so much toward the salvation of the less fortunate Negro boy and girl. Few of us have always lived in cities! Let us not forget our less fortunate brother. There is being planned by the society a study of rural school equipment. Another thing that claims the attention of our people at large is juvenile delinquency. A study of this condition, especially in our rural communities, is also being planned. After conferring with the Commissioner of Public Welfare, the society is assured of the full co-operation of the State Department of Public Welfare. The industrial situation as it confronts our people not only attracts the attention of Negroes in Virginia, but of the entire 12,000,000 or more Negroes throughout the United States. In cities and communities where the Urban League is not functioning a study of these conditions will be made in the very near future. It is desired that light be thrown on the job situation, and if there are errors made it is the desire that the Negro be shown his shortcomings and be helped to reinstate himself in his job. Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, chairman of the Department of Sociology at Virginia Union University, predicts a crisis in the very near Shakespeare's romances have been interesting features in the history of the club. The club has held two art exhibits. Some of the noted speakers who have appeared on the club's programs are Mrs. Lucille Barco, Mrs. E. Coles Buoy, Mrs. Eloise Skelton and Mrs. Oryenda, a missionary to Africa. Among the deeds of charity have been gifts to the Old Folks' Home and the Community Fund. For two years the club has made educational tours, one to the nation's capital and another through the picturesque Valley of Virginia, visiting Luray Caverns and Natural Bridge. A special feature of last year's work was a popularity contest with the Venetians, in which the P. A. L. S. were victorious. The club has yearly greeted its friends in various social functions, such as hike to Brook Hill, black and white ball, linen ball, floral ball, May day fete, and patriotic whirl. The members hope to continue to carry out the aim for which the club was organized. future with regards Negro employment, and those of us who are farsighted enough see the crash coming unless something is done. Dr. M. Gandy, vice-chairman of the Executive Board of the Society, states: "One of the Negro's greatest needs in Virginia is a study of his labor conditions. Better homes will always be encouraged, for we feel that they are conducive to good health. It is also encouraged that though one lives in a barn, he can at least keep it clean. With reference to better farms, which undoubtedly forms the backbone of our American life, the society is intensely interested in the Negro farmer becoming organized in order that he might come in posses- MVary BY BRUCE M Way of Life BRUCE BARTON What Makes Us What We Are? ECENTLY there came into my possession the photographs of five brothers whom I have known very well all my life. The pictures were taken when the eldest of the five was only eight years old. The first thing that impressed me was the resemblance of each one to all the others. Anybody, looking at them, would have known at once that they are children of the same father and mother. Even more striking was the fact that today, when their average age is forty, they seem to have changed very little. I had no difficulty in laying the baby pictures on the desk and saying: "This is Joe, and this is John." One might almost jump to the conclusion, from such an exhibit, that experience and will-power have very little to do with character. Yet I know that each of these five boys has been changed, and by the exercise of his own free will. The hot temper of the eldest has been cooled by self-control; he has became far sweeter and more tolerant. The impatience of another, which made him quick to start new things and quick to leave them half finished, has been transformed into steady staying power. By exercise and self-discipline the physical weakness of a third has been built up into solid health. Another told me that he and his wife went to an orphan asylum to adopt a little boy. For a couple of hours they watched two hundred youngsters playing on the floor. One of them was trying to fit the cover onto a thin can. Time after time he struggled to push it into place, only to take it off and start all over again. "We'll take that baby," said the man, "He will be a worker." I discussed this subject once with a throwover observer of the human race. He mentioned the man who had been the leader of his class at college and has never been heard of since. "Perhaps he had some hidden illness," I said. "Perhaps he just couldn't amount to anything." My friend disagreed vigorously. "He could have changed himself," he said. "Deep down in his heart that man knows why he has failed." Personally, I believe this. The pictures of my five friends tend to confirm this belief. They are what they were as children, but they are also different. Each has moulded himself, and not merely been moulded. Not birth alone, but will power, has made them what they are.

DECEMBER 1929 A Memorial JOHN MITCRELL, JR. EDITOR Laid Down His Pen, December 3, 1929 Requiescent in Pace. The editorial columns of The Planet will be devoted to tributes to its late editor, for the balance of the year. Beginning with the first issue in 1930 our editorial policy will be announced and carried into effect. Philadelphia, Dec. 8, 1929. The Planet, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: You must allow me to express my profound sympathy in the death of Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., publisher of the Planet. The was when it reached this city cast a gloom of sadness over us all, as he was well liked in this city. Yours sorrowfully, (Mrs.) F. A. HARRIS, 1017 Lombard St., Philadelphia. Box 5, Louisa, Va., December 10, 1929 Mr. Roscoe Mitchell. Dear Old Friend: I am spending these moments in sending a line hoping this may find you and all well and moving along nicely under the existing conditions. I am speaking of the Home-going of the friend of the people, the Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. We all miss him it is true, but one thing we can depend on at any time and that one things is the Lord knows best, and that He will not allow anything to come upon his children beyond that they are able to bear. We should learn to say, "Thy will be done". Be happy and move on. Remember me to the rest of the family. You must remember that you will ever find in me a friend. Best wishes to all. B. D. ELLIS. Mr. Roscoe Mitchell, Gare Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia, Bryan, Sr. Although the Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., had crossed the Divide and was hurt some time before the sad intelligence reached me, yet, since I have knowledge of the fact, and after the years of association and friendship I had with him, further silence on my mind would be criminal; therefore I am sending to you and the entire family connection the following expressions of sympathy; you, together with the entire race, have sustained a loss that is well night impreared. I have watched his course for well night 40 years; he was a man with a noble soul, true motive, sound purpose, a racial vision, and a burning message of hope, council, and goodwill for his people. Courage, will power, and determination made him an upstanding and outstanding champion of human rights. As an analyst and editorialist he had few equals; as a friend, he was cordial and obliging; as an orator, he was pathetic, logical and convincing. Amid the darkest hours of his career when discouragements came thick and fast, he held to his mother's God. Amid fleeting years that come and go. Time will reveal perhaps many years hence, the sacrifices, the labors and worth of the lamented John Mitchell, Jr. We, too stop to brush a tear, and join with those who mourn his passing. Sleep, thou great noble soul, Amid achievements, pure as gold; You're held in reverence, fond, Till we meet in the blest beyond. Waverly, Va., December 10, 1929. Mr. R. Mitchell: It was last Friday, December 6th, THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER By James Thomas Fields We were crowded in the cabin, Not a soul would dare to sleep It was midnight on the ocean And a storm was on the deep. "Is a fearful thing in winter To be shattered by the blast And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder "Cut away the mast!" So we shuddered there in silence, For the stoutest held his breath, While the hungry sea was roaring And the breakers talked with deat As we sat there in the darkness, Each one busy with his prayers, "We are lost!" the captain shouted As he staggered down the stairs. But his little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand, "Ian't God upon the ocean Just the same on the land?" Then we kissed the little maiden, And we spake in better cheer, And we anchored safe in harbor When the morn was shining cles that the St. Luke Herald brought the sad news that our ex-Grand Chancellor had passed into the Great Beyond. We must admit it to us as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. It is well said he has worn the spruc for a number of years and came out pure gold. In him, we have lost a great leader and a good man. While we sympathize very keenly with the stricken family, we also say, "Soldier of Christ, well done, the battle is fought the victory is won, enter the Master's joys." Yours in sympathy. G. W. PEACE. College of Physicians and Surgeon Boston, Mass., December 9, 1929. Mr. R. C. Mitchell and Family, Richmond, Va. My Dear Friends: Words fail me to express my most profound sorrow at the loss of Editor Mitchell, my good friend, and your dear brother. One most consoling thought fills our minds, he worked like a Trojan at his task while he lived. He was no "slacker". I am sure Burrows and many other race haters will be glad that he is gone. He was a "thorn in their side." I trust that the great Arbiter of human ill gave him a choice place upon the Editorial Staff of the New Jerusalem. You have my deepest and most sincere sympathy. Yours for the redemption of Africa. C. C. BOONE, M. D. Wildwodd, Va. December 7, 1929. Mr. R. C. Mitchell, Richmond, Va. Dear Editor Mitchell: I am writing to express my sincere sympathy to you and other members of the family in regards to the passing of your devoted uncle, Editor John Mitchell, Jr. I am not able to acquire words to adequately express sympathy to the family and the loss which I feel our race sustains in the death of Mr. Mitchell. He deserved being called the "Fighting Editor, the fearless Race Defender." God used him mightily in his day. I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Mitchell. I read the Planet regularly for about a quarter of a century. I treasure highly a silver biblical present he gave me more than twenty years ago. I had ashort bawful conversation with him seven weeks ago today. Little did I think at the time it would be my last talk with him on earth. Although a great man, he, like other mortals, had to die. His days were numbered. John had fought a good fight. He had finished his course, and he had to. Now, Roscoe, I am proud his mantle as editor has fallen upon your shoulders. May you be able to gather about you a group of loyal supporters that by the help of God the Planet will again shine forth as in days of yore. Richmond needs it and the country needs it. You may count of me to help. Your heritage is great, your responsibility stupendous and your opportunity magnificent. You must rely upon God who is able to supply all your needs, who knows, whether thou art "And who knows whether this come to the kingdom for such a time as this." I am enclosing one dollar for which please send me papers pertaining to the funeral and etc. Re-enter my subscription. I am sincerely, D. J. BRADFORD. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, V Washington, D.

I am deeply pained at the death of my friend, John Mitchell, Jr. This friendship covering a period of years impressed me with his work as a journalist, a humanitarian and an outstanding member of our group, who worked steadily and con- sciously for our advancement.

ECHO FROM FAMOUS LUNEN BERG CASE Mr. Roscoe Mitchell, Fourth North Fourth, City, Mt. Deer, Roscoe: My Deal Sessions I am very uzzled for words to you just how I feel. Regret that I did not know that our Mr. Mitchell was sick. When I knew anything he had gone from us. I know of no one whose death made me more sad than Mr. Mitchell's. For indeed has was very closely associated with my late husband and when one's name was mentioned, frequently I would expect to hear both, or one. I deeply sympathize with you and Miss Rebecca. I wish for words to console you. I can only commend you to the Father of love, whose infinite mercy stand ever ready to give strength to the weak. It was very hard for me to realize that I was attending Mr. Mitchell's funeral, which was so painful: It was from my home in Lunenburg, Mr. Mitchell got team to take the Barne's prisoners from jail to jail for safety, and the soldiers got their food and milk from our home in part while on duty. It was on this occasion our hearts went out for the great patriotic "tiger", Mr. Mitchell. God bless and keep you to stand for everything fine as did your uncle. Please extend my love and sympathy to your immediate family. Very sincerely, MRS. H. L. JACKSON. Of the many tributes to the late John Mitchell, Jr., one in particular was the most outstanding, that of the Lawn Town Shoe Co., Clay at First Street, in that it was entirely original in its conception and execu- The window in which the tibutee was exhibited was drape din heavy silver grey silk velour. In the middle of this drapery stood a snow white easel, on which was mounted a life size portrait of John Mitchell, Jr. The portrait was mounted on a snow white matboard with a ragged edge scroll of dull black cardboard surrounding it, at the lower end of which was the name John Mitchell, Jr., in snowy white letters. To the right of this stood an antique bronzed candle stick, three feet high, in which was a candle four feet high, that feebled at intervals an electrolytic light, expression of the brilliant flashes from his editorial pen. At the middle of the candle was attached with a white ribbon a copy of the last edition of the Planet, edited by him. Artistically arranged around the candle stick were asparagus Terns and flowers. This novel and unique tribute was conceived and executed by W. H. Walton, displayman and manager of the Lawn Town Shop/Soo Co. In this effort the Lawn Town Shop Co. have established, a new method or precedent of honoring our men, an idea that may be followed by other business houses of our people in bringing them into Washington, D.

The association has over 22,000 members in the United States and is affiliated with the International Federation of University Women. The Dean of Women spoke to them on the subject, "To What End Are We Educating Negroes?" She discussed various phases of the employment situation at is applies to educated Negroes, with particular reference to occupational boycott on account of race. Dean Slowe also addressed the luncheon meeting of the Interracial Extension Committee of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom on December 6. At this meeting she spoke on "The Roots of Race Prejudice Are the Roots of Way."

Even the observation balloon units are systematically being organized. High school girls particularly have been taken into this part of the military service.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Hopkinsville, Ky., Dec. 9—Police announced Wednesday morning that Henry Balthrop and Narcisa Northington had confessed to the murder of the aged cousin of the woman in the case. The aged man was found slain a few days ago and mystery surrounded the tragedy. Little or no cludes were left by the murderers and for a while the police were mystified. The filing of two insurance policies, aggregating $600, and with Balthrop and the woman named as benefiaries, case took on another color and the police were called. After days of grilling, the officers declared that both had confessed that they had participated in the murder in order to secure the $600 insurance. A policy for $400 had been taken out on the aged man by Balthrop, while the policy in favor of the woman was for $200. Both are being held without bond, on charges of murder in the first degree. --- AGENTS WANTED To sell the Down South Hair Preparation, Pressing Oil and Grower. Write Mme, J. F.

IS RUSSIA MAKING TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE TODAY AND BY TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE CALENDARS The movement to reform the calendar by making the year into thirteen months of 28 days each with an extra holiday thrown in between Christmas and New Year is making headway. The principal objections are on religious grounds. There is nothing sacred about the calendar, but to change it would mean changing the date of Easter and some saints' days. The Pope must consent before the Catholic nations will accept those changes. Orthodox Jews object to the eight-day interval between Easter and a year. Sooner or later we shall have a new system of reckoning time, the third since Julius Caesar established the foundation of the present calendar in 48 B.C.

The German makes a shoe which retails at 18 marks-$1.50. He pays his workmen six marks,$1.50, a day. A man has to work half a week to earn a pair of shoes.

Some stand the test of poverty, many will under it, proving nothing except that people are much alike, titled or not. In New York a grand duke or two live without working by selling "Imperial Orders" to gullible Americans. The buyer gets the right to wear a beard or across his shirt front and pretend to be somebody. Harmens, crouch, but silly. Much more entitled to respect is a Russian princess who works in a fashionable dress shop in New York. Her title is genuine, she is beautiful, many men want to metter her.

George Eastman has given tens of millions to further musical education and the appreciation of good music. He says, rightly, that the man or woman who gets his highest pleasure from producing or listening to music is a much happier as well as a much more useful career than the one who does not know what to do with his spare time. DRINK Sir Philip Gibbs, most capable of British journalists, reports that drinking is becoming unfashionable in good society in England and diminishing among the working class. England has no prohibition law. We had no national prohibition law in America before the war, yet it was noticeable that drinking was falling off everywhere. After prohibition was enacted it became fashionable to patronize bootleggers as a gesture of defiance. Now these defiant ones are not getting the kick out of their attire, which they think is a childish drinking seems definitely on the wane again. Good society no longer looks tolerant on drunkenness. Flask-toting is rightly regarded as childish. SHOES A nationally-distributed brand shoes sells for $4 a pair. The man at the head of the business failed in 1921.

Whether he is in church or synagogue, it is God who is sought by those who come to worship and He will be found by them as they are discerned in heart. People often cry out in distress because of their loneliness. This need not continue when they are ready to come together in spiritual fellowship as they make use of the same throne of grace. Such fellowship unites peoples of different races, for God is being known and loved everywhere. Race prejudice ceases as we unite adversely in singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," Praise Him, all creatures here below.

John 4:16, Presidents and Bishops follow His mission as they make the affairs of state and join with their fellow citizens parishal worship on the Christmas Sacred Day. Those who are in different about being on time at church or Sunday School imply that the worship and instructions one of so little importance to them that it does not matter how much they must.

FANS SAY—ANOTHER JOE GANS Bruce FLOWERS OF NEW YORK Bruce IS ONE OF THE LEADING LIGHT WEIGHTS IN THE COUNTRY— A BEAUTIFULL BOXER WHO CARRIES A GOOD PUNCH IN EITHER GLOVE— R.M.F. SERVICE, N.Y. This is Bruce Flowers, the sensational lightweight of New York whom we need not introduce. Flowers is a clean, clever fighter who always gets his man, and all that know him know that he is a fighter that fights and believe me he surely can make his opponents mix it up. This boy has been washing them down lately and this is an assurance that he will soon measure up to the late colored lightweight champion of the world. whom you ail know--Joe Gans. All sport writers are forced to admit that Gans was one of the gamest fighters of all times. Flowers caught Pinkie Kaufman of Hartford; Conn. in Detroit and gav him a beating that the fans will never forget. Flowers had Kaufman almost down in the first round. Kaufman was floored 3 times in succession in one round and left the ring with blood flowing freely. I think this boy Flowers will soon year the lightweight crown if he keeps this up. Hints for Motorists If you want to convince yourself that an underinflated tire wears out sooner than one properly inflated, run several miles with one tire down and the opposite one at the right pressure. They feel both tires with your hand. You'll find the underinflated one hot from excessive flexing of the side walls. Most people behave as if the world wren made for motorists—when they are driving—and as if it were made for pedestrians—when they are walking—but everybody has a right both to walk and to ride in safety and comfort in a world that was really made for human beings.

MIAMI BEACH, FLA: After smouldering in the pot for more than three years the lightweight division promises to stage as sensational a comeback as any tittle battle yet dipped to sport fans when Sammy Mandell present lightweight Champion, of Chicago, meets Manuel Quintero, the Spanish Hurricane of Tampa, Florida at R K Carter's palatial outdoor fight environment on January 19th, 1980. He gleaming sheels to induce the Baby Faced Irishman to trade wallops with Manuel Mandell has no liking for this southpaw. In more than sixty bouts the Spandard has lost but three and these three opponents have since met defeat in return bouts. In fourteen of the sixty bouts Manuel was by knockout. Defeated Top Notchers Among the Manual defeated the most outstanding is Louis "Kid" Kaplan, one time featherweight champion. Manuel shellacked him twice. Once in a 10 round semifinal to the Mandell-McLarnin bout in the Pete Grounds in New York, and again in Kaplan's home town of New Haven. Conn. Kaplan at that time had entered the lightweight class and was looked upon as one of the outstanding contenders for Mandell's throne. Armando Schekela, Belgian lightweight champion, Val Monn, Leu Gommel, Jordi Kroger, and Bobby O'Brien bowed to the superior ability of the Spanish Hurricane. Manuel sent Gommel down for the count of 10, something few squawpers have been a to do. Mandell needs no introduction to fight man. He has whipped everyone in his class except Young Mandell and his willingness to meet the Tampa boy proven him willing to take a chance with anyone of his weight. He has, undoubtedly, the greatest hand of any of the followers of the Coulthower industry. It darts in and out of an opponent's defence always jabbing, stinging, cutting. He proved the greatness of his southpaw when he whipped Jimmy McLarin. The baby faced Irishman who carries a stick in his right hand worthy of one many pounds heavier, rushed the champion continually throughout the scrap, always throwing his right hand punch but not once since he was up short with Mandell's left hand in his face, and he was a tired, body cutup fighter at the end of the fight. while Mandell's hair wasn't even mussed.

A hurricane wrecks them on their first boat, boarding the Nanceville, wondering what happened to Dr. Fergus. Dr. Faucon is to help Faucon use Lacy sticks to him. To save Faucon she arrives, but expresses hate for Stevens. A four minutes later he starts her station. He is in danger, but goes to the Nanceville.

They are together, and they prepare for a fight. **HOW GO ON WITH THE STORY** Faucon drew into his cabin; he returned carrying a double-barreled shotgun. And now Lacy noted a bible in her husband's hip pocket; a deligated anticipatory shoulder run up and down her spine. This promised excitement. Well, she always thrived on it. Over his shoulder dog-trotting Swan, the dog sniffs back to his tail, follows. "They we probably blocked the roads heading down to the development, and we'd never get through the guard. "If we sneak up in your rowboat, Fergus, old lad, well beat 'em to the punch. What, thought Lucy, had inspired, or caused, or aroused this apparent intimacy between Tim and Fergus? Was it money, the surest bond of all? Did Fergus accept Tim because he hoped to be made wealthy? But that didn't seem like Fergus. . . Tim ceased rowing. Ahead could be heard the confused murmur of many voices. "They on the first bridge," whispered Tim. "Then, we're too late," she groaned. She heard an inarticulate ejaculation from her husband. Then: "Thought you wanted to see a fair fight, Lucy. Well, be patient." He leaned toward Fauce, yet in the calm night she head his words. "If I can keep one bridge standing, I'm all right," he said. "So . . . we'll throw em off this first one. All set? Aw-right." He dug his cara into the water, and the skiff shot around a bend; it was beneath a bridge before the men on it realized what was in their midst. Stevens stood up; his big hands gripped a bridge timber and he had climbed, like any huge cat, upon the bridge itself. She heard his great booming voice: "Friends! Didn't expect you or you would have had a better reception. But, surprised as we are, we'll do the best we can. Do you prefer to be pushed off this bridge or thrown off? We aim to please." The skiff had drifted under the bridge, and now Faunce was standing up, gripping at the timbers above. She would not be left alone; rising, she stepped the length of the boat, and placed her fingers upon the planking of the bridge. She was standing by her husband just as a voice cried! "Knock him over; I am all alone." "Oh, I wouldn't say that," commented Faunce. His shot-gun was stuck across one arm. From the shops of the stream another voice called: "Three of them. Well, there are twenty of us—" "Tiger-like, her husband moved. There was a stilled cry, a choking protest, something whirled through the air, and a splash from the stream. "Only nineteen now," his great voice boomed. "Who's next for the bath?" There were four men upon the bridge, but as he moved closer, they shrank back. "Walt a minute," cried a third voice. "I'm the shrift of this county, and I came here to see that law and order is observed. These people expected to be and called on me for aid, men are all my deputies and I am to cease resisting their law, censure and consider yourself under arrest."

You're a masty fat crook, and if you don't take your men to hell off my property I'll kill a few of you. Do you get me?"

He haged forward; his big first thudded on the law of one of the men on the bridge. The man went down, rolled bye, and fell into the water. The skimfish ended there. The other three-fledged Stevens pursued to the end of the bridge. With Fennec at the elbow, he addressed Clary. "I'm armed; so is Dr Fennec. If one man puts foot on this bridge we'll shoot to kill. Got it." "You're under arrest!" bawled the sheriff. Stevens laughed. "All right; come take me." The sheriff moved toward the bridge, but stopped ten feet away. "Go on, Maddox!" cried Clary. "Go to let him sheff you out of it" "The only way to find out if a man's bluff is to call him," said Stevens, sweetly. "My chisps are right in the center of the table. You calls" "Resisting arrest, breach of the peace." Stevens cut short the sheriff's cries "I haven't resisted arrest, Maddox. In fact, I've invited you to come over here and arrest me. But you're such a shy little crook—" his voice addually broke in rage: "Maddox you're yellow! Your parents ran away from the Confederate Army and came down to the Florida swamps and spawned like the vermin they were. You'd lynch a nigger when you're a hundred to one, but one hand latters at a thousand like you. You shoot in the back and never face to face. You want to arrest me. Well, here I am." He paused and turned to Lucy. "Sorry; promised you a real fight, but it takes two to make one." "You'll regret this, Stevens," said Clary. "Not half so much as you're regarding it right now," reported Steven. "But you're not going to pay down this bridge the many old man. Now any other right, but may have a sheriff or a marshal, but a justice is something else also gets paid by you, say, I'm getting fired of all this. The hard you on in my property, just as this bridge is in, but it is." "Don't overplay your hand, Stevens," advised Clary. "No!" Much obliged for the prize. But when I praised it all I love.

"I can row a boat," said Lucy, "and when I reach the mouth of the creek I simply turn north, to the left, and when the waterway marrows I'm opposite Mango Kay. The moon's gone, but the stars give enough light. Of course I can do it, if you get the boat for me. I hate to be all muddy." "She's right, Tim," said Faunce, again. Stevens shrugged, then yelled. He fetched the boat, placing the oars carefully in Lucy's hands, and showed her off. "I think I owe you a lot of thanks," he whispered. "You certainly saved my bacon." "I owe me nothing," she replied. "I owed whatever I did to you." "How do you figure that?" he inquired. "Because I believed you were engaged in a wedge. It seems that you were not. One should make payment for unjust thoughts. I've tried to pay." "This time, then, I'm not a thief!" he said. "But then you're not," she said. "Much obliged," he said dryly. His body bent and the shift went walking out into the middle of the narrow street; she bent to the care. Judge Leaming deserved to the joy of Verando and heard Lucy's expressed statement of the case. The judge, no cracker, but a Southern gentleman, smiled sleepily at the pretty girl. "Any man that's plus enough to pick you for a wife, Mrs. Stevens, is bound to get an even break in anything, because he's no fool. And he'll get a fair break with this court. You go home and get some sleep and I'll attend to the rest of the matter." She could trust him, and so she went home, wild though she was to return to Seminole Creek and learn how Tim and Fergus; Fergus was an afterthought—were getting on.

Your family doctor does not claim to do miracles; he makes none of the pretensions of the quack. He does not advertise, for several good reasons: First, he does not need to; his work speaks for itself. Second, all quacks advertise; having little or no actual skill, they must make people think they have, by boasting of talent which they do not possess. Third, the doctor loathes humbuggery, and does not wear a mask. Fourth, he is in a profession, not a business; his work is largely humanitarian; a great per cent of it is for charity. Sometimes the editor gets mad because the doctor does not advertise as fake healers do; that's because the editor does not understand—and the doctor does not blame him for what he does not know. In fact the doctor is the editor's good friend, though often unappreciated. I never knew a good family doctor who didn't stand for everything calculated to uplift his community—especially churches, schools, good roads, every civic enterprise, in fact. That fact, if no other existed, should make a community respect if not revere the silent man who goes about doing good. The family doctor is, perhaps the most meagerly paid in proportion to his days and nights of toil, of any of the professions; very few family doctors are wealthy; indeed, many of them go quite plainly clad, and enjoy few of life's luxuries. The doctor's bill is usually the last paid—though I believe our people are slowly growing more appreciative of the good and faithful servant. The doctor is always a subscriber for his home paper and reads it; if the sheet doesn't come up to his expectations in wisdom and policy, he says nothing; because he does not worry over sanctions that cannot be cured.

Mitchell, 515 N. Third St. ```markdown ``` CHICAGO.—Thirty million dollars worth of candy will be included in Santa Claus' yuletide pack this year. It is disclosed by Ferdinand A. Bunte, of Bunte Brothers, Chicago candy manufacturers, in an address here. "So Nick will load up with more confectionery this Christmas than ever before." declared Mr. Bunte. "While consumption of candy throughout the twelve months is steady, the first and last three months of each year show about twenty per cent increase in consumption over the rest of the year. "The peak of the candy business comes at Christmas and New Year's day. Season for this is age-old. Ever since there have been Christmas trees and ever since Santa Claus has been visiting good little boys and girls, sweets have been prominent among the gifts to children. "Besides Christmas specialties there are hundreds of tons of hard candies made by confectioners at this time. It is true that the Christmas trade pushed the American confectioner out of the dark and into the black on the ledge, however, does not hold true. There is a steady consumption of candy throughout the year, with the cold months and the Christmas holidays marking the peak. "All holidays have their special candies and no confectioner ever passes a red letter day without paying it some fitting tribute in some specially designed candy, but he makes his greatest effort at Christmas. Even in countries where the Christmas tree is unknown, candy is a universally popular present.

New York, Dec. 13.—Congratula- tions and praise have been telegraph- ‘ed by the National, Association tor the Advancement of Colored People to Rev. Adelbert J. Helm, of troit, who resigned as pastor of the Bethel Evangelical Church, and. Or- ville Brummer, who resigned as Di rector of Education, in protest against the barring of Negroes from church membership. ‘The telegram sent Rev. Mr. Helm, by Walter White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., reads as follow: “I have just read your letter of resignation ‘as pastor of the Bethel Evangelical Church in _ protest against the exclusion from member- ship of two Negroes. It is impossi- ble for me adequately to express my admiration for, your courageous deed. Few men, in, the Christian church, placed in your position, would have dared place ideals, prin- ciples and high ethical standards above expediency. It is the church, whose Christiamity cannot surmount the color line, who wiil be the loser. You have proved that you believe the Christianity whic you preach, which sadly is true of but few in the Christian church, May your act serve as example and inspiration to others that they, too, may have the courage to combat vicious race pre- judice.”” SOUTH RICHMOND ‘The churches on the Southside are making rapid progress.
