(Continued on Page 4) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1930 See Hopeful Future For American Negro SOUTH AFRICAN STRUCK WITH PROGRESS OF RACE SEES NO INSOLUBLE PROBLEMS AHEAD Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15: The American Negro has achieved in a few generations what it usually takes centuries for a racial group to attain, according to Hon. Graham Ballenger, head of the native affairs department of the city of Johannesburg, South Africa, who is on his first visit to America studying the condition of Negroes in this country. "With all the disadvantages and hardships to which the group has been subjected in America," said Mr. Ballenden in an interview given to the press," the gains have been astonishing when one considers the relatively short period involved. In no other country that I know of has so great a measure of justice and opportunity been accorded a minority group of another race. Conditions, of course, are still far from ideal, but much better than I had expected. The needed improvement. I am confident, is only a matter of time and of friendly cooperation between the best types of the two races. Indeed, observation and experience leave me no doubt that, whether in Africa or in America, cooperation is the only means by which genuine progress can be made. "I have been especially interested in the educational progress which American Negroes have made, as I have seen it at Tuskegee Institute and other of your great Negro schools. There is only one word of warning that I would venture to offer, namely, that in the pursuit of higher education for Negroes consideration should be given also to the great mass who cannot hove for this special privilege, but desperately need practical training for efficiency and success in the common pursuits of life. It is not a question of neglecting either type of education, but of making proper provision for both, and of recognizing that in their respective places they are equally valuable and important. "For the American Negro, in general, I have only words of congratulations and of hope. As contrasted with conditions in Africa, the American situation is certainly a hundred times more favorable to the race. Nor is the future over here shadowed by any insoluble or extremely difficult problems, so far as I can see. The only real problem, as I indicated before, is simply that of normal human adjustments and cooperation for the common welfare. Proceeding along these lines neither whites nor Negroes have anything to fear." MEN'S DAY AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Morning, Rev. C. H. Pearson will preach.

Governors Asked To Stop Lynching POWER OF CHIEF EXECUTIVES INVOKED BY INFLUENTIAL GROUP, WHO PLEDGE SUPPORT AND PLAN CRUSADE Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15 —The twenty-one Southern white women representing eight states, who last Saturday issued a public statement denouncing lynching and repudiating the claim that it is necessary "as a defense of womanhood," followed up their statement Tuesday with a telegram to the governors of thirteen states, calling upon them to take vigorous steps for the complete suppression of such crimes. The message was signed by all the members of the group, who pledged themselves to cooperate with public officials in support of the law, and was sent to governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama Florida, Georgia, (the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Indiana. The text of the telegram was as follows: "We, a group of white women drawn from religious, educational and political groups assembled at Atlanta to consider shocking resurgence mob violence during current year appeal to you as chief executive your state. Decrease in lynching noted during past ten years largely due to aggressive and determined attitude of governors and sheriffs of southern states. During this year notable examples of courageous and prompt action on part of governors preventing, lynchings encourages belief that every governor has power and influence largely to erase this crime from record of his state. We pledge ourselves to support governors, sheriffs, and judges upon whom responsibility rests." The women composing the group were convened by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation to consider the lynching situation. In addition to their public statement and telegram to the governors, they made plans for a systematic anti-lynching crusade through the various agencies and organizations of women with which they are connected. Proposes Air Flight To Abyssinia Proposes Air Flight To Abyssinia Herbert Julian, who has just arrived in this Country from Abyssinia propose to return to the African kingdom via the aerial route. Julian sojourn in Abyssinia was checked full of ups and downs according to reports he gained the ill will of the "higher-ups" in the Abyssinian air service because he (Julian) would not put his stamp of approval upon certain junky planes purchased by the Emperor in this Hickness attempt to build up an air fleet. The ranks of Colonel had been conferred upon Julian by the Emperor, Haile Selassie, and he had the additional honor of being nobel Abyssinia air Minister from which he resigned before departing from this country. It had been renamed that Colonel Julian and the Emperor became enemies when the best place owned by the empire suffered a smash up with Julian at the control. It will be remembered that Julian attempted to fly to Liberia some time ago but was unsuccessful when the plane went only a short distance before a mishap occurred. He was born in the Dominion of Catawba and obtained his training and pilot's license in the U. S. He recently became a citizen of Abyssinia and was then selectttd as air minister. He now proposes to fly back to the country of his adaption in a plane of his own in the near future.

New York, Nov. 14.—Three Senators, one Republican, two Democrats, a Democratic Lieutenant Governor and a Republican State Senator have expressed their thanks to Walter White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Alvance ment of Colored People for aid rendered them in the recent election by colord voters. From the Republican Senator, Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who kept faith with his colored constituents by voting against the seating of Judge John J. Parker on the Supreme Court bench comes the following: "I wish you to know that your assistance is greatly appreciated. I think the Negro vote was pratically solid for me. I shall continue to stand for justice to the Negro as I have always stood. Do not hesitate to command me whenever I can be of service to you or the Association." Robert J. Bulkley, Democrat, elected in place of Roscoe C. McCullough in Ohio writes: "I am very much appreciative of the important part which you played in bringing about the splendid result on election day. Please keep in touch with me as you know that I want to help all I can in your work". Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, Democrat, endorser by the N. A. C. A. P. for his vote against Parker, writes: "Thanks for your message and more for your loyalty and invaluable aid toward the gratifying result. It was a smashing visitary". Lieutenant Governor Herbert L. Lehman of New York, writes as follows: "I want to thank you sincerely and very heartily for the splendid support and cooperation I received. I can assure you it was very helpful and I am grateful for your confidence in me." From State 'Senator Samuel H.

PLANS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE At a meeting of the Richmond Branch NAACP, held last Thursday night, it was decided that the Branch conduct a membership campaign for the purpose of securing new members, and thereby assisting the national office in its work. The campaign began Monday, November 17th and will close on or about January 1, 1831, in conjunction with an emancipation program. The contestants are persons who were suggested by the pastors or leaders in the various churches and are displaying great enthusiasm as the campaign gets under way. The public is requested to give these contestants their hearty support by securing membership in an organization which has done more to safeguard the rights of the Negro than any other organization in America it has been in the forefront, both in supplying the money as well as the leadership wherever Negro rights are challenged, whether in Mississippi or New York; and what is more important, it has stayed on the job until justice was done, although this has meant in several cases fighting through all the courts up to and through the United States Supreme Courts. Membership fee is $1.00 per year; while membership fee with the Crisis for one year is $2.50. Roy Johnson and Edward "Beans" Fleming, manager and trumpeter, respectively of the famous Johnson's Happy Pals Orchestra were slightly injured and Miss Amelia Payne popular entertainer, accompanying the Pals to Washington to fill an engagement, is in St. Phillips Hospital suffering facial abrasions and a fractured knee as a result of a hectic smash-up Thursday afternoon two miles south of Ashland on the main highway to Washington. Travelling at a fifty-five mile clip, a white tourist attempting to pass a southbound truck was confronted with Roy Johnson's coupe and managed to veer across the road to avoid a head clash. In the effort to swerve Johnson's Ford coupe slashed into the side of the large sedan flinging occupants of both cars violently against the windshield, and wrecked Johnson's Ford. The injured received first aid attention in Ashland and Miss Amelia Payne was rushed to St. Phillips hospital where her condition is reported grave, "Beans" Fleming returned to Miller's Hotel with slight injuries while Roy Johnson made the engagement in Washington via Greyhound Roe. The accident will leave the Trumpet player's position vacant for two weeks. TALK ON MINISTERIAL ETHICS AT BAPTIST MINISTERS CONFERENCE. Dr. W. T. Johnson Leads Local Preachers In Discussion of Modes of Conduct. On Monday, November 17, the order of the day at the Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and Vicinity, was a discussion of "Ministerial Ethics" and Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church led in the discussion by vote of the Conference. We present herewith the gist of the address by the learned Doctor at this session held in Ebenezer Baptist Church, omitting the many definitions for ethics and the theories extant today concerning this subject: The introduction of Christianity brought a new element into ethical speculation; among Christians ethics was intimately connected with Theology, and Morality was regarded as based on and regulated by a definite code contained in the Seared writings. Most modern ethical systems consider the subject as apart from theology and as based on independent philosophical principles. To sum it all up. Ethics as we understand it means the application of the principles of right and wrong to the actions of men. With this simple explanation we come to you with the statement that Ministerial Ethics has particular reference to the conduct of the ministers toward each other in the prosecution of their God-given work. 1. In Private Life. and 11. In Pastoral Life. 1. In Private Ministerial Life. (a) It is unethical for a minister to gossip about a fellow minister in a manner to curtail his influence and lessen his popularity in the community. (b) It is unethical for a minister to cast reflection upon the faithful conscientious work of a fellow minister. (c) It is unethical for a minister to underrate the ability of a fellow minister in the presence of his friends or enemies. (d) It is unethical to indicate in (Continued on page four) THE PLANET EDITO The Second Bapti EDITORIALS The Second Baptist Church Incident Much gossip has been rife over an incident that occurred at the Second Baptist Church a few Sundays ago. It seems that one of the members of the Church had died and the family at first requested the pastor, Dr. Jos. T. Hill to preach the funeral. Later the same family requested Rev. Joseph Arrington to preach the funeral. Rev. Arrington got in touch with Rev. Hill and appraised him of the fact that the family had requested him (Rev. Arrington) to preach the funeral. Dr. Hill acquiesced in this arrangement and according to the custom here, extended the courtesies of the Second Baptist Look After The Look After The Down And Outers One of our good citizens, who is a deacon, a barber, philanthropist and head of one of our character building agencies told us this week to say something to bring our people to a realization of the fact that we must do more for our unfortunate brethren and sisters.

Republican Stragety Has Failed (By William Conklin Brown) The results of last Tuesday's election tell us that Republican strategy has failed. The election also tells us that the Solid South is yet solid. It would not surprise us to see an entire change of front in the management of the Republican Party. The results of last Tuesday are so balanhi vb staggering that one can hardly balance himself to interpret it. But, first of all the results in Ohio, where the Democrats seemed to have won the Governor's chair, a Senator and several Congressmen, was Prohibition, Depression and the Parker vote cutting a big figure. The loss of Ohc can be traced directly to the door of the strategists of the Republicans. The advisers of the President have told him that they can throw the Negro over in North Carolina, and yet hold the race vote in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York. This advice which we suspect comes from Richmond, Va., from a famous wrecker of the Republican party in this state has failed miserably. In 1920 the so-called white Republican party at the advice of this now famous adviser read the Negro out. In 1928 this adviser made a showing and took the state of Virginia from the Democrats on a flimsy issue, "Race, Romanism and Rum. In 1929, this same man offered Dr. William Mosley Brown of Lexington, up to sacrifice on the same flimsy issue, with hate added to it. In 1930 on account of a death on the Supreme bench, a new member was to be appointed. Again this bearer of good news from the south suggested the name of Judge Parker, an avowed enemy of the constitution of the U. S. The President accepted the suggestion and with almost certain defeat facing him, held to his nominee, who was ignominiously defeated. But the defeat of Judge Parker was not the end of it. The men who voted for him, who could ill be lost from the Senate have been followed into theid districts by the N. A. A. C. P., our most aggressiv eorganization and helped to defeat them, because of their vote in the now famous Parker case.

This was on Saturday night preceding the Sunday morning funeral service. It then occurred to the family to change the program and invite Dr. Hill to preach the sermon. It is apparent that each preacher went to the funeral expecting the other to preach the sermon. Whatever appears to have happened at the service must be interpreted in this light. We believe that neither Dr. Hill nor Rev. Arrington is to be blamed for the fact that the good sister went on without a funeral sermon, but that the family in its grief-stricken condition inadvertently confused the situation.

Rightly or wrongly, the party in power is always charged with the economic conditions no matter whether they be good or bad, as long as they administer the law. So it now seems that the same condition obtains, that obtained in 1910, when President Taft was faced with a hostile Congress. Chaos was rampaint, and President Wilson was elected the next two years. Will history repeat itself? We venture to say that it will unless the Republicans begin now to build their fences. From the latest returns it would seem that the Congress convening in December 1931 is going to be close—with a possibility of a majority of one for the Republicans, or maybe the Democrats. This will be the closest it has been in years. The balanace may be left with the lone Farm-Labour member in the Senate, with the Democrats controlling the house. As Negroes, we wonder just what effect it will have upon the race. Again, we venture to say very little, because under the skin the Democrats and Republicans are just about the same. Yet with this close vote, naturally the belief will be that the vote in the election of 1932 will be close. This will make both parties give more consideration to the Negro vote, that showed more assertion in the last election than any in the memory of this generation. To this score the Republicans, who believe that we belong to themanyhow, we may get a much more human consideration. The Democrats of the north have already made a big bid for the Negro Vote, for they want to be elected. In New York City they elected two Negro judges. But as sure as we are living, it is going to be a long time before the Democrats of the South give the Negro much consideration, other than a voter, far in the minority. So it is now left with the Republican strategist to figure out whether it is better to stop concentrating on the south or try and hold the north and east, which is normally Republican? These strategists had better... soon in out, or there will be a lots of Republicans out of jobs. THE RICHMOND PLANET Dr. W. L.

The White Pulpit And The Race Problem Some time ago we were reminded by a white press of our responsibility as Negro leaders to see that criminal assault by Negroes against white women be stopped. We make no complaint at this reminder. There are, however, some interesting things that might be said in this connection, to wit:—Few of the Negroes thus charged are or ever have been church goers. Some of these Negroes so charged are by no means guilty, even those who have charged them have been known to admit the falsity of the charge later. Many of those so charged have been men that were not Negroes but had blackened their faces that they might make a "get away" at the expense of the Negro. The Purpose Of This Article not purpose to discuss crime as such, nor are of the race problem, but the conditions in a white pulpit can do to relieve it. The Negro reaches to the law makers, nor to the ruling class.

The Negro preacher does not preach to the law makers, nor to the ruling class, nor to the lynching class. He preaches to the class that is in the minority, with little or no power, no means of defence but God. The Negro preacher has been preaching "law abidance" ever since the civil war. If the white man had to abide by such laws, under such conditions as the Negro does, this country would not stand in peace twenty four hours.

We make no special plea for martydom on the part of our white brother of the cloth, yet their very position is a challenge to their manhood. Wycliffe and Tyndale suffered that we might read the Bible in the English language. Greater is he who suffers that the principles of the Bible may be carried out. Inter-racial commissions, Seminars, and N. A. A. C. P's are all good, but they are substitutes. It is the work of the church, led on by the clergy to teach men the golden rule. It is not surprising that men find more interest in other organizations than in the church, when such organizations fight for more definite and fundamental principles of Christianity than does the church. other days of plantation life there was some between the white and colored people.

Years ago the writer spoke to the white man Richmond and proposed a closer affiliation for his. He proposed a good will day at which and white ministers would exchange pulpits, proposal, in substance, was about this: white people would not stand for it. The time every man should meet his own congregated at night there is not much preach in him advocated such might be requested to be etc. Are no worthwhile excuses. How would survive with the example which the Apostle Luke? Who is he that has ever accomplished that has not faced criticism and hards waits for more men who will say, "I had Pastor." In earlier days of plantation life there was some chance of contact between the white and colored people. Soon after the civil war the public school teachers formed a basis of contact. The writer was taught by southern white people mostly women when a student in the high school of Richmond. But little by little these points of contact have ceased and the two races have become more and more strangers. Our claim is that the Negro and white ministry should be the point of contact and the clearing house for our social differences. The Negroes will still hear their preacher. The white minister is a member of the law making group. Nothing grips the people like religion. No voice is like that of their priest. Jesus intended that the gospel and not law as such should make men brothers. The Negro and white ministers of Richmond and of the average large southern city are absolute strangers to one another. These two groups, heading two different races whose problems need adjustment do not know each other. A few years ago the writer spoke to the white ministers conference of Richmond and proposed a closer affiliation for the good of both groups. He proposed a good will day at which time Negro ministers and white ministers would exchange pulpits. The reaction to this proposal, in substance, was about this: tion to this proposal, in superscript. The white people would not stand for it. The time was not yet ripe. Every man should meet his own congregation in the morning, and at night there is not much preach in him. The white pastor who advocated such might be requested to hand in his resignation etc. These are no worthwhile excuses. How would such an argument compare with the example which the Apostle Paul set for the ministry? Who is he that has ever accomplished anything worth while that has not faced criticism and hardships? The world still waits for more men who will say, "I had rather be right than Pastor." Hopeful Signs The recent movement among the clergymen, led on by an official of the Union Theological Seminary at Richmond is destined to do more than all the substitutes of the past and present. The only criticism the writer has to make is that it is not broad enough numerically. Every minister-white and black-of every denomination in this city should assemble together and talk things over on the race question. It is well enough to send for Dr. Moton from Alabama to talk about things at large, but we here at home know many things of which Dr. Moton has never heard. The same is true in every locality.

That Saint Paul Meeting sent meeting at the Saint Paul Episcopal chaple for the white clergy in more than one of its little or nothing about the rector of St. Peter's to say that such a meeting as the one spoke would not have been held in such a way to the approval of the rector. The communion did not object, because they reverence their rector. Other congregations would call their pulpit desire it. The nature of the purpose was rather for Negro than white women were seated in the main auditorium of the white people and not shoved up into so fine gallery. Negro man stood in the pulpit of Saint Paul in the basement. The recent meeting at the Saint Paul Episcopal church ought to be an example for the white clergy in more than one way. The writer knows little or nothing about the rector of St. Paul church, but he ventures to say that such a meeting as the one at which Dr. Moton spoke would not have been held in such a manner if it had not met the approval of the rector. The communicants of St. Paul church did not object, because they reverence the voice and wishes of their rector. Other congregations would do the same things should their pulpit desire it. The nature of the Saint Paul meeting was this: 1. Its purpose was rather for Negro than white welfare. 2. Negroes were seated in the main auditorium-across the aisles from the white people and not shoved up into some obscure corner in the gallery. 3. A Negro man stood in the pulpit of Saint Paul-not down on the floor-in the basement. 4. The Sabbath Glee Club—colored men—rendered music. The rector of St. Paul and the parishenors of that church preached more gospel by the way it seated Negroes on that night than has been preached by any white southern church in a long time. If the church of which Mr. Jefferson Davis was a member can do this much, what excuse has any other white church for doing less? Richmond—"down where the South beins," ought to lead the way in bringing about a more like righteous treatment of the Negro. The white ministry occupies the Strategic point. The Negro ministry has been and is now ready to cooperate. The people both white and black will hear their priests and pastors as they will hear no other voice. The ministry is God's committee on adjustment of all unrighteous matters-through preaching the gospel and practical application. Things Past Hopeful Signs A BONE FOR RICHMOND TO CHEW ON Dr. J. S. Allen, a well known physician of Chester S. C., has been made operating physician in the new addition recently made to the Pryor Memorial hospital of that place. The addition was added through the interest of Dr. R. E. Abell, a white man, in order that Dr. Allen might be better able to serve the people of his race. Both doctors are well known to this writer, he having once lived in the famous "Crosby house" at 125 Mc-Clure St., there, and who underwent a minor operation at the Pryor hospital which is situated on Saluda Street, at the age of eighteen. This town has a population of about 12,000 people while Richmond has a population of near 200,000, a city operated hospital for Negroes, yet not one Negro doctor is allowed to practice there. What is wrong with the city of RICHMOND? AUTO HAZARDS OR AIR PLANE SAFETY? If automobile fatalities continue to occur at the pace that has been set in the past few weeks in the streets and on the highways in and around Richmond, those people operating the air transport lines can truthfully say that the AIRPLANE is SAFER than the AUTOMOBILE. "SIMPLE JUSTICE" THAT'S ALL That dastardly practice indulged in by Richmond POLICE OFFICERS, of calling colored people "NIGGERS" in open Court, or in the street for that matter, in our opinion is in very bad taste. Police officers should remember that when a man is brought before the BAR OF JUSTICE, the MAN individually is on trial, and not his origin or the color of his skin. White prisoners are addressed as Mr. Jones, or Mr. Smith. If the officers do not wish to apply the title "Mr." when addressing a Negro, he could very easily say "THIS MAN," or "THIS WOMAN." The appellation "THIS NIGGER" when applied to a Negro prisoner not only violates the RIGHTS of the prisoner at the bar, it is a GROSS INSULT to any other law abiding Negro who may have occasion to be in the court-room. We believe that we have a FAIR and IMPARTIAL Judge on the bench in the Police court in this city, it is therefore reasonable for us to believe that he will put an END to this practice when his attention is called to it. We feel that a police officer should be fined for a misdemeanor when it can be proved in court that he applied a vile name to a prisoner in the discharge of his duty. STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN An enormous toll is exacted annually in human life and limb, by careless or unthinking drivers of automobiles disregarding the warning signals placed at "grade crossings" by the Railroad companies for the protection of life and property. Automobile operators must realize these three things before there will be any decrease in "GRADE CROSSING" FATALITIES. That railroad trains always have the "RIGHT OF WAY," that he must obey the rules of reason for the protection of his own LIFE and the LIVES OF OTHERS which he may hold in HIS HANDS and the fact that those "STOP, LOOK and LISTEN" signs at grade crossings means JUST THAT. The latest grade crossing fatality in the state cost the lives of NINE PEOPLE. NOT ONE occupant of the machine WAS LEFT TO TELL THE TALE. WATCH IT GROW? NO. HELP IT GROW.

VIEWS OF THE PUBLIC Editor, The Richmond Planet Sir: My attention has just been called to a most excellent article in your issue of November 1st, by Professor C. H. Pearson, Union University. My purpose in writing is not so much to refer to that article, which speaks for itself, as to refer to Dr. Moton as a race leader. Many observers wonder why Dr. Moton desires to pose as a race leader when he cannot say what he thinks. If asked his opinion on any important issue affecting the Negro he must first think how it is going to affect his institute at Tuskegee before he makes answer, then he is not a race leader in the true sense of that word. The welfare of Tuskegee, compared with the welfare of the entire Negro race, is as nothing. Perhaps it is a human weakness that men love place, power and influence; that they crave distinction, fame and wealth. Negro leadership has brought many of these things to Dr. Moton. Few people will deny that the race question is a subject of the gravest importance. No other subject in the South is at par with the race question. It is paramount among all the issues of the day. No vital element of greater interest has been provoked in the last half century. Practical methods or practical policies for solving this difficult problem are not clear even to the best minds, or the most brilliant leadership. Editor. The Richmond Planet:-- From the innermost recesses of my very soul, I applaud and congratulate the Armstrong High School pupils for their recent PROTEST against what they believed to be unairt treatment. I have purposely delayed sending this article because I wish it to be considered coolly and calmly. This PROTEST is the beginning of an epoch in the history of colored people here. Every one of them ought to join me in applauding and congratulating these students for having backbone and grit enough to do some PROTESTING. There has been entirely too much petitioning, pleading and begging. A colored person may be most shamefully mishapted or even wrongfully arrested anywhere in Richmond, and there may be fifty colored people who witness it, but the fact is, that aside from these students and other persons like them, scarcely one of the fifty can be induced to go to court and testify-so shamefully have they given up to be overawed and browbeaten. For the third time, I congratulate these students for making a PROTEST. The colored people here would not be half so badly treated PARKER NIGHTMAMES —From The Afro-American, No vember 15, 1930. The campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and organized labor against senators who voted for Judge John J. Parker, white, for the U. S. Supreme Court last spring, undoubtedly caused the defeat of Senator Allen (Rep., Kas.) and the election of his Democratic opponent. Senator Capper (Rep.) endorsed by the N. A. A. C. P. was elected. In Ohio, McCulloch (Rep.), pro-Parkerite, fell before the Democratic Buckley. Three pro-Parker Senators were reelected: Metcalf (R. I.) Hastings (Del.) and Keyes (N. H.), all Republicans. In Rhode Island, from 50 to 87 per cent of the colored vote cut Metcalf. In Kansas, the Kansas City Call declares that Allen could have won had he received the usual colored vote. In Ohio, Akron colored districts voted: McCullough 329, Bulkley 629. An entirely colored down, Urban-crest, voted: Bulkley 112, McCullough 84. Canton voted the Pro-Parker McCullough down, 6-1. In this way the good work went on last week and the N. A. A. C. P. made the defeat of Parker so difficult. There are still other pro-Parker senators on the list of the association which has a long arm and a longer memory. That Parker vote is proving a nightmare to many a politician. NEGROES AFTER McCULLOCH —Fro the Gulfport (Miss.) Herald, Oct. 28, 1930. Both parties are making a big fight in Ohio for Congressional representation. To show the normal Democratic weakness in every election, that party's committee sent $3,000 into the Ohio campaign, and the Republicans $12,000. Senator McCulloch, Republican, sees a black cloud on the horizon because he voted to confirm Judge Parker for the preme court: and as the are 150,000 People, who opposed Judge Parker, despite Mr. Hoover, because what he said was deemed inimical to the Negro, Senator McCulloch sits ruefully. It is said that the Society for the Advancement (act) is nonpartisan, except in matters concerning the race, and that the Negro bloc of the Republican party would be disposed to turn from their old political allies to a "Northern Democratic Liberal Party" whatever that GOODWILL BAPT.

Minister If a Negro leader speaking on the public platform is afraid, for any reason, to speak the unvarnished truth; if he must flatter and coddle white people; if he must resort to positive misstatements and misrepresentations; if he must indulge in hypocrisy, or deceit, or plain lying, then there would better be no public speaking on his part. If truth, honor, integrity, manhood and womanhood; if devotion to the highest moral standards and the highest Christian ideals, will not attain public approval for the race, if they will not win the battle for the Negro then we doubt seriously that the baser things and the lower standards will do it. Into the race question; into the black man's deplorable situation; must come a new Negro leader, a leader of vision, of vigor, of vice, who will make manifest and declare the hopes, the longings, the asperations of his race. He must speak his mind no less independently, no less emphatically, no less fearlessly than other men and other leaders. This new Negro leader must have progressive ideas of race relations, of Negro participation in governmental control, of equality of economic opportunity, of justice before courts of law, or else the Negroes' rights, liberties and freedom will not be preserved, will not be advanced, nor will his cause be fairly presented to the world. Theodore W. Jones, Richmond, Va. today if there had been more PROTESTS by them. Even in the days of slavery when colored people had not the rights of dogs, the slave who was most badly mistreated and beaten, was the one who begged and pleaded, and not the one who PROTESTED. It is fair to say that I endorse certain advice which has been ogerged these students as to how they should have PROTESTED. This is in place. Tho a man, who has been shortchanged by a merchant, does not need to use a shot gun in demanding his proper change, he is certainly justified in demanding, rather then entreating and supplicating. I wish to emphasize that I am expressing my gratitude that these students had the nerve and backbone to PROTEST. Even granting that they exacerbated the wrongs of this particular case, they receive enough unfair treatment in the Richmond Public School system, to warrant PROTESTS from students, parents and colored people generally. Note this—white people have already PROTESTED and words were not mined in criticising, in public print, the treatment given colored people in their schools of Richmond. S. P. B. STEWARD. NEGRO'S INDEPENDENT VOTE BRINGS NATION-WIDE APPROV New York, Nov. 14- Expressions of approval and congratulation in all parts of the United States are greeting the Negro's political independence in the last election, according to news reports and congratulatory letters being received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue. California Eagle, Los Angeles: "It the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a potent influence in the affairs of Government? If there is an doubt in your mind in this situation we will give as reference Judge Parker of North Carolina; Henry J. Allen, Senator from Kansas, who cashed in last Tuesday; McCulloch, Republican nominee for the Senate who likewise went down to defeat on Tuesday." Atlanta Independent: "The N. A. A. C. P. did a good day's work last Tuesday and taught the G.O.P. that it hasn't a perpetual mortgage on the Negro vote, without regard to how it treats them." Iowa Bystander, Des Moines: "The N. A. A. C. P. again demonstrated its ability to fight to the last ditch for those things which they think are necessary to the welfare of the Negro. Nobody will say for a moment that the N. A. A. C. P. did not make a great fight. It is the kind of fight which makes them respected more and d more." Hot Springs Echo, Arkansas: "The Negro in the North is a Democrat when it paps to be and is a Republican where and when it is worth while and that seems to be what the N. A. A. C. P. would call sensible politics." C. Blythe Andrews in Florida Sentinel, Jacksonville; "Ohio and Kansas should interest you. There you did some effective work through the N. A. A. C. P. In addition to those first editorial utterances a flood of congratulatory letters and telegrams is pouring in on the N. A. A. C. P. National Office among which are the following expression: Congressman Oscar Depriest: "Congratulations on your good work in Kansas and Ohio." Rev. Sam B. Wallace, Columbia, S.C.: "Accept my sincerest congratulations upon our great victory in Kansas, Ohio and elsewhere." Seymour Carroll, South Carolina Natural Resources Commission: "It is the most outstanding work in race relations that has been accomplished since the war between the States. Charles Edward Russel: "You and Dr. Du Bois and the others certainly did a masterly job in Ohio and else where and the results fill us all with unbound satisfaction. It was a bles sing to see McCoulloch go down. Som of these gentlemen will think ewice before they again trp to kick the colored people of America in the face." E. A. Ross, President Marion, Ohio N. A. A. C. P: "Sincere congratulations upon your most decisive victory in Ohio." The Amplifier (J. HENRY JAMES) Richmond Prof. Steps On Dr. Barbour's Toes--He's Somewhat Sore About It! AMPLIFIER: "Newton, you look mighty jovial. Tell us what is up?" MR. NEWTON: "I was loowing over the paper, THE RICHMOND PLANET, before you came in and saw where Prof. C. H. Pearson, of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., comes back at Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, who address an appreciative audience at SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH, here a few days ago. Prof. Pearson criticized Dr. Moton's address severely. And Dr. J. Pius Barbour, one of Alabama's noted writers, gets sore about it and cames back at Prof. Pearson strong. This Alabama writer says that Pearson is simply trying to nag Moton. That the Prof. thinks that Dr. Moton doesn't have much devotion for his race. What do you think about it?" AMPLIFIER: "To be frank with you, I believe that Dr. Moton has the Negro race greatly at heart; I certainly do." MRS. NORCROSS: "Why I saw that article, it was printed in The Planet. I am well acquainted with Rev. Prof. Pearson. He's our own, but we didn't know that he would attempt to bait and flash at 'Doctor Moton.' Did you Ampie?" AMPLIFIER: "Yes, why not? Pearson is one of our competent young men of the State. Of course he has a right to express his opinion on matters of vital importance." MR. NEWTON: "Mrs. Norcross, you were going to say something a moment ago. What was it?" MRS. NORCROSS: "I say, I think very little of Dr. Barbour, that Alabama writer, for the uncomplimentary things which he said to our own, Rev. C. H. Pearson, of Virginia Union University. If Prof. Pearson did come back, Dr. Barbour of Alabama had not right to do so. Let him read this Biblical saying which goes somewhat like this: 'If thine enemy smote the on the right cheek, turn ye the other side.'" MR. NEWTON: "Yea, but this Alabama writer finds another Biblical saying which reads somewhat like this: 'What-so-ever thy hands findeth to do, do it with all thy might.' Altho, he was very light ON Prof. Pearson. His article was timely, as well as searching. His reply to this Richmond Prof. was short enough to attract his attention and long enough to cover the subject. He said much to Prof. Pearson in a few words for attacking Dr. R. R. Moton."

Thousands of people read his article with intense interest. And many are thinking somewhat from his point of view. Many are tied up. Yea, Prof Pearson may be a local chap, but he is certainly wearing his thinking cap—and Moton knows it." MR. NEWTON: "You hush, Mister Common Sense might tell you that any ordinary person can tie knots, but wise men loose them. Dr. Barbour, in his article of November 15, 1930, made it very clear to the READING PUBLIC that Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is a devoted leader of the Negro race. His article pierced 'Pearson like a two-eided sword, cutting both ways.'" AMPLIFIER: "I don't think that Dr. Barbour, (the Alamaba writer), said very much to Prof. Pearson. Suppose you see the publisher of the RICHMOND PLANET and ask him to let you see a copy of the paper of November 1, 1930; that you may see exactly what Pearson says. Naw, I don't think Barbour said anything to Pearson much." MR. NEWTON: "I agree with you, naw. Dr. Barbour did not say so MUCH, but what he did SAY, in few words, was very, very WEIGHTY, and right to the POINT. This Alabama writer said a lot to Prof. Pearson. His was brief, convincing, pointed, magnetizing and didactic. Let Prof. Pearson take notice and govern himself accordingly." AMPLIFIER: "Um, you think you said something that time." MR. NEWTON: "Nobe, I don't think I said anything, but Dr. J. Pius Barbour, the Alabama writer, has said it. When he saw what Prof. C. R. H. Pearson said concerning Dr. R. H. Moton's address here at St Paul's Church; this Alabama writer takes it up immediately. He turned thrifty around to his desk—in his revolving chair, graps up his philosophical pen, taps Prof. Pearson on his head and says to him, 'now, you go on back in that school room and hear your class; and stop NAG-GING DR. MOTON, behave yourself. Te-hee." MRS. NORCROSS: "These brethren should not carry on this sort of controversy. Where is their religion? Let Prof. Pearson and others stop nagging Dr. Moton. If they don't stop there will be still more growling heard from Alabama. They'll make it so hot for them—they'll feel like 'biting the dust.'"

White) Although the weather was cloudy the service at Moore Street Baptist Church was well attended. Dr. R. O. Johnson the pastor Emeritus who has been out of the City for several weeks was present and read the morning lesson. Dr. Hancock preached from the subject "A slap on the back." He used as his text Acts, 23rd Chapter, 11 verse, which reads "And the night following the Lord stood by him and said, Paul ce of good cheer." Dr. Hancock's sermon in part as follows: The heroines are the inspiration of the world and without heroism history would be drab and colorless. Without doubt courage is the most admired of human qualities for through it it men achieve the heroisms of life. There is no more inspiring sight than to see a courageous man in the arena of life fighting against dreadful odds. And there is no more depressive sight than to see a discouraged man vanquished from the battlefield of life battered and broken and with bowed head. The man who walgs to the electric chain somehow thrills us as never could he who must be borne upon the arms of tween real courage and brute cour-powerful guards. There is a real difference beaage. That was brute courage that sent to sudden death THAT NOBLE SIX HUNDRED so graphically told by Tennyson in his "charge of the light brigade." Captain Nolen made a mistake in the orders of Lord Raglan at Balaklava when he sent six hundred men against thirty thousand Russians behind cannon. The men who obeyed were truly brave, but Captain Nolen was a coward. Theirs was not to make reply; theirs was not to raeon why; theirs but to do or die; into the valley of death rode the six hundred. In other words it takes nobility of purpose to make a courageous heart. Only the cause of righteous can give real courage. Moses pleading with Pharaoh, Abraham on moving day; Paul purposeing to preach at Rome; Jesus setting his face toward Golgotha and John Brown resolving on the attack at Harper's Ferry. That was true courage. Paying a tribute to courage one has said: It is the shield of the defenceless, the submit to injustive. Courage i sa Heaven sent commission unfortunate and the feeble, to be the stern guardian of private rights and public morals, to meet tyranny with unquenchable defiance and to stand forth the peladin of liery. It may dwell in a heart for years and none know o fit; but let the time come when truth and justice demand its play and it blazes out bright as the sun a noonday and might as Vesuvius in eruption. 1.CHILDHOOD—Not only do little children need encouragement but their little hearts hunger for it. One has said that it is better to spit in the face of kings than to make a child afraid. Likewise it is the height of cruelty to deny encouragement to children. A little encouragement goes a long way with children. That i swify children love mothers. Mothers are so full of encouragement. That is the great misfortune of being motherless, the lack of encouragement often embitters lie. Childhood is the time of dreams and it takes great encouragement to make dreams come true. Children in orphanages are more backward than the child of the home. The latter has more encouragement. I was inspired a few days ago when one girl complimented another for her singing. It is in childhood that the encouragement habit must be formed. 2. MATURITY—Childhood with its dreams passes so swift away and we are in the midst of a rough and rugged life. We are forced to fight or fail. In the eyes of the world very few men succeed. Thert must be then about us many failures in the conflict o flife. The husband and father are beset on any sides and so often hardpressed in the battle of life.

The slap made the difference. The difference between life and death, success or failure, smiles and frowns is a matter of this slap. 3.OLD AGE—The old are disabled soldiers in the battle of life. They have waged their fight and they have held the ramparts until we could bring up reinforcements. Their hoary heads and drooping forms are marks left by the armies of time. Nor the years draw nigh when thou salt say I have no pleasure in them; while the sun or the moon or the stars or the light be not darken- ce, nor the clouds return after the rain. The most pathetic and inspiring incident was that o far little fellow weeping over this mothers grave begging his little wiping sister not to cry. Tears trying to strengthen the tearful. Negroes need this slap on the back from everybody and especially from Negroes. Negro business. Negro youth, Negro enterprise, Negro professionals, Negro churches, Negro fraternities. Lile Paul we are about to be torn to pieces and a slap on the back is in order. "Be of good cheer." Only those whom the Lord stands by need expect the slap on the back of the Master.

Mitchell, Editor of Richmond Planet: I am writing to call your attention to an error in your last week's edition, because I believe The Richmond Planet is covered with enough merited glory, not to accept any which may be misplaced upon it. In Dr. Ransome's article, he states that the Planet was the first colored weekly published in Richmond. This is in error. Previous to it, my father, the late O. M. Steward, in association with P. H. Woolfold, published the Virginia Star. This paper was published from 1875 to about the time of the Planet's appearance. He had formerly taught school, having among his punils the present Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Mr. W. H. Walton and your illustrious uncle, John Mitchell, Jr. There were others and I think any of them now living will tell you that his aim was not simply to teach but to inspire. I know John Mitchell, Jr., admitted inspiration from him and I am proud of having had the honor of writing one of the published eulogies of Hon John Mitchell, Jr. NOTED PASTOR SURPISED ON HIS BIRTHDAY Friends of Dr. Wm. H. Stokes, Pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, gathered on the night of November 11th, his birthday to surprise him. Dr. Stokes had no inkling of what was being planned and was quite surprised when friends began to call over the telephone to "dron in" Dr. J. A. Brinkley was the first to arrive, he was soon followed by nearly the entire Deacon Board of the Ebenene Baptist Church, lead by Deacon J. J. Carter, and the following Deacons, Rhorer, Smith, Patterson, George L. Branch, Jefferson, Brown, Stokes, Bland and others. Soon came Dr. S. L. Parham and wife together with the entire Deacon Board of the Mosby Memorial Baptist Church among whom were Deacons Wilson, Watson, Lecoss, Johnson, Brown, Cousins and others, Dr. S. A. Brown and Mrs. S. A. Brown life long friends of Dr. and Mrs. Stokes came from Petersburg bringing greetings from the Giffield Baptist Church of which Dr. Brown is pastor. THE RICHMOND PLANET S. P. B. STEWARD Their personal gifts and also gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Ben Wilson, Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Johnson came from the First Baptist Church bringing tokens. Mrs. Stokes requested that Mrs. Johnson act as Toast Mistress which she did splendidly. Dr. C. C. Scott and Deacon John Beard responded to the Toast from the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Deacon Cousins made the presentation from Mosby Memorial. Deacon George L. Branch responded and made the presentation from the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Dr. W. L. kansone, pastor of the First Baptist Church South Richmond, tephoned his congratulations but was unable to attend on account of an engagement which took him to Fredericksburg, Va. Mrs. Mary E. Cousins and Mrs. Emma Wynn responded to the toast and represented the women. Mrs. Mary E. Branch, Mrs. Kate Jackson and Mr. Robert Moss of the Ebenezer Church were among the mary guests. Dr. Joseph T. Hill, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, a classmate of Dr. Stokes was unavoidably detained at his church and did not reach the party in time but sent his congratulations. Mrs. Stokes was assisted by Miss K. N. Cunningham, Mrs. Lillie E. Baskerville, Miss Gertrude Wilson, Mrs. Carrie Mitchell, Mrs. Ora Holmes, Mrs. Lela A. Wynn, Miss Martha Powell, and Mrs. Effie Simons. The house was beautifully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers the gift of friends. A delightful menu was served consisting of chicken salad on lettuce, finger rolls, potato chips, pickles, salted peanuts, after dinner mints, ice cream and cake and hot chocolate. Dr. Stokes was the recipient of many gifts and congratulations. The menu was served by Mr. Chas. West assisted by Raymond Fairax, Al Robinson, J. J. Robinson, W. Paul Thomas and J. H. Jackson, M. C. Swisher. Beautiful birthday cake specially made for the occasion was the gift of Deacon and Mrs. J. J. Carter, Mrs. Ethel Epps Wilson, Mrs. Lillie E. Baskerville, Mrs. Ora Holmes, Mrs. Martha Powell and Mrs. Carrie Mitchell. The affair was not intended to be an elaborate one owing to the long illness of Dr. Stokes, who is much improved. Mrs. Stokes gave the party to her husband as his birthday present. Hundreds of of friends and members of the Ebenezer Baptist are wishing that Dr. Stokes would have another birthday party soon in which they might participate, but those nearest to him felt that he could not stand the strain of a large party.

Miss Jeanette Lathan was officially announced a runner-up as the hall rang clear and loud with hearty applause for both of these successful contestents, gay cheers from 750 Union and State merrimakers. Miss Wilson, a popular young debutante of Richmond, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Percy Wilson of 410 W. Clay Street. Miss Wilson, a well-known co-ed of Union, when interviewed at home by a reporter was dressed in a charming outfit of green with shoes or black trimmed with lizard and neutral stockings. Five foot, six inches in height, this young Miss is neither blonde nor brunette, but is sort of a mixture of golden brown, with lovable brown eyes. Her ambition is to go on the stage. Broadway and the bright lights in a few years—perhaps, to take the place of Ethel Barrymore. She was found reading the magazine, "Theatre." The favorite pastimes as told are dancing and driving in the countryside. This little girlie has a voice of charming proportions with a little note of indif,erence; an indifference that grips and holds one, mats you want to listen to her speak always. She doesn't deny that no little amount of her success belongs to Mr. Robert Cooley, her business manager. The crown was presented to her at the danct by Mr. Richard Keller. TOPICS IN AND AROUND THE OLE VIRGINIA CAPITAL BY RUPERT PICOTT Mrs. Nannie Burroughs, nationally known platform speaker and president of the National Training School for Girls at Washington recently spoke at the dedication of Morgan Hall at Virginia Union University. She liked that part of the play. "Green Pastures," now running in New York which depicts, "a man who is a rock in a weary land." Much interest centers in the meeting of the Forty-third Annual Session of the State Teachers' Association of Virginia, which convenes here November 26, 27, 28. At the Richmond Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held last Thursday night, it was decided to conduct a membership campaign for the purpose of securing new members and so assist the National Organization in its work. The campaign began Monday 17, and will close about January 1, 1931, in conjunction program. The public is requested to give these contestants their hearty support by securing membership in an organization which has done more to safeguard the rights of the Negro than any other organization in America.

The edition was phenomenal, not because it was THE PLANET, that had existed for 48 years, but because it is a step in race achievement. You were not the only person to submit congratulations on the edition. They were widespread. In commenting on the issue, please do not think I am attempting to evade the issues of societay occasions. They are numerous and interesting and I hold a special delight to relating them. I understand that the Kappas are usually reputed to give such "swell" and enjoyable affairs. They tell me that a guarantee for a delightful evening is always assured you when the Kappas entertain.

"Grid Grams" Registering a 2-7 walloping against Shaw on historic Hovey Field Saturday, the Union Panthers maintained the flag staff lead of the C. I. A. A. Coach Hucles proteges are the only undefeated team in the association. The Sheep Hill aggregation are playing a great game this year and if they can upset tradition with a annual Turkey Day Clash in the Ironmen's mill jus' ask for your "Gold footballs, girls. A. and T. continued a tardy comeback over St. Paul—score 19-2. Hampton trounced Howard 13-6 and oh boy—somepn's gonna happen in the coaching department of the "36-30" Institution. North Carolina couldn't stem the Morgan victory tide on the Maryland gridiron and skulked back to the "Carolines" on the lower end of an 18-7 reckoning. Lincoln Lions, took charge of the Johnson C. Smith Bulls and knocked the "Tarheels" out of the race in a 5-0 seto. Well—The Seminary Parsons beg your pardon—"Eagles" found their wings with a 19-6 flight over St. Augustine. Union journeys to the Raleigh N. C. grid of St. Augustine and an embryo Panther who showed his fangs in a very "PASSING" way will general the squad. "Off Chord" Yancey is the appellation given the Panther young herculean, pigskin hurler. "From The Press Box" Dropped over to Va. State Saturday to cover the sensational Interstate Classic featuring Coach Martin's Statemen versus the West Va. "Yellow Jackets." The game was "de luxe" and "dedames" "deluxer." The Statesmen easily outplayed the West Virginia aggregation but a spirted yellow jacket eleven spread its wings in the last frame of the hectic seto and soared on passes to a 12-7 win. The Orange and Blue amassed a total of 14 first downs to a meagre "yellow jacket" 3 but that didn't win the game. Coach Martin presented an array of material which must be reckoned with in next years association contests. "Teddy" Boyd of Union—All American fame was on end—very much on end. "Big Boy" Lawson, former Panther guard had a previous berth—no—not meaning anything. The break of the State W. Va. clash came in the inability of Coach Martins' "subs" to break up passes. Evidently Nash and Meadows knew it. This boy Nash is just about the best kicker in collegiate circles. His educated toe certainly directs and spirals the ocal. There was a fellow in the rabble as cheap as the Scotchman who fried his bacon in lux to prevent its shrinking—he stood up to avoid wear and tear on his breeches. A large—very large day at Petersburg for the Scribes—Don't mention it. The breezy Sports Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier and the kid brothers were there—oh huh! Yours for more chatter The Scribe This Saturday's results will have a lot to do with the price of gold footballs in the C. I. A. A. They'll cost Morgan a win over Hampton at Hampton for one thing—and what we have? HERE'S WHERE THEY PLAY St. Paul vs Va. State at Lawrence-St. Paul vs Va.

Union Beats Shaw 27 To 7 Union Beats Shaw 27 To 7 Continuing its tring of victories in the C. I. A. A. League the Va. Union Panthers trounced the Shaw Bears Saturday afternoon on Hovey Field, Richmond, Va., to the tune of 27-7. Completely baffled by the Unionites aerial attack in the first half the Shaw boys found themselves on the short end at the end of the half, the score being 14-0. In the 1st quarter, Union blocked a Shaw punt and recovered the ball on Shaw's two yard line. From this point Yancy, Union's second string quarterback plunged thru the center of the line for Union's first score. Lloyd Williams scored the extra point on an off tackle play. Union's second score came as the result of a completed forward pass and end runs by Williams and Armistead. Yancy heaved a beautiful pass to L Williams to Shaw's four yard line and from this point Gill took the ball over for the second touchdown. Washington made the extra point by an end run. Score at the end of the half, Union 14, Shaw 0. In the 3rd quarter Yancy attempted one of his long forward passes but Stroud of Shaw intercepted the ball and ran to Union's one yard line where he was nailed to the ground by Armistead. Shaw was unable to place the oval across Union's goal line and Union punted out of danger. There was no scoring in the 3rd quarter but it was not long before Yancy threw a thirty-five yard pass to L. Williams who ran the remaining distance across the goal line. Gill made the extra point by off tackle play. Union received the ball from Shaw in Midfield and again Yancy threw two beautiful passes in succession to be snared by Lloyd Williams for distances of twenty and thirty yards respectively. Gill then plowed the line for the remaining distance for his second touchdown of the day. John Williams attempted to drenk kick the extra point but the ball hit one of the uprights and fell back into the field. Union kicked off to Shaw and Berry run the ball back twenty yards. The next play Ligon gained eight yards around Union's right end. Ligon. Shaw's dynamic halfback who had been playing a wonderful game received the ball on his twenty-eight yard line and ran the remaining distance to score Shaw's first touchdown. Lionen then kicked the extra point. After receiving the kickoff, Union started a series of end runs and line bucks but was forced to relinquish the ball by punting. Twirlied another one of his forward passes in these last few minutes of play. Washington being on the receiving end of the last. Shaw was in the act of forward passing on her eight yard line when the game ended. Union made fourteen first downs, completed seven forward passes out of thirteen attempts and had two intercepted. Shaw made four first downs and completed one forward pass out of four attempts. Union's second string man had a chance to show their wares Saturday. Yancy and Webb playing their first full game. This was the first time Yancy has been seen in action, filling the shoes of Maxey Robinson, who was given a rest while his understudy ran the team. Yancy gave a wonderful exhibition of forward passing and running back of punts and should prove a valuable asset to the team in years to come. Union is waiting for the Thanksgiving Classic with Hampton and C. I. A. A. Championship.

(Continued from page one) any way the unreliability of a fellow mister to a promiscuous assembly (e) It is unethical for a minister to take the opportunity on special occasions to exhalt himself and be little the pastor by saying that he is able to preach a gospel that the pastor is afraid to preach. 2. So far as the pastoral relation is concerned. 1. It is unethical for one minister to play the part of Pastor in another Pastor's church because he is invited there. 2. It is unethical for a minister to assume that because he is a minister that he has a right to take charge of a fellow minister's work without his consent or approval. 3. In the matter of preaching funerals it is unethical for another preacher to rush in and preach without regard to the wishes of the Pastor. 4. It is unethical to accept engagements with a fellow minister and purposely break it, without a justifiable reason. 5. It is unethical for a minister to rush into the sick room of the member of a fellow Pastor and seek to leave the impression that he is more considerate for him in his affliction than the Pastor. While the foregoing are sufficient for hours of discussion we will add the following by urging you to avoid some evil practices extant among us: Namely: 1—Entering the pulpits of fellow Pastors upon the invitation of clubs and individuals without first conferring with the fellow pastor. 2—Preaching funerals of members of fellow ministers without notifying said pastor and securing his consent. 3—Advising members of the churches of fellow Pastors with regard to plans and methods to circumvent the plans and purposes of said Pastors. 4—To make reference concerning fellow Pastors to members of said Pastors which are caculated to change the attitude of such members toward their Pastors making them less loyal and often hostile. 5—It is unethical for any Pastor who has been elevated to the Pastorate, to belittle the work of the pastor, whom he succeeds as Pastor. Trusting that what we have said may be food for thought, I am most cordially yours, W. T. Johnson THE HAMPTON CHOIR. (Continued from page one) The program consisted of short addresses interspersed with music, Honorable Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, delivered the major address. President John W. Davis of West Virginia State College also spoke. President Davis is a recent recipient of the Harmon award for distinguished service in the field of education. The third address was given by Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Specialist in Negro Education of the U. S. Department of Education and President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University was master of ceremonies. The Hampton Institute Choir recently made a tour of important cities in England and the Continent, where they received the acclaim of the leading musical critics. This was only their second broadcasting engagement. It gave to the millions of the American radio public an opportunity to hear this musical organization which has distinguished itself both at home and abroad, and which has done so much to interpret the musical spirit of the Negro, in classical conditions as well as Negro spirituals. American Education Week was observed this week at Hampton Institute by a student assembly held the night of November 11 in Ogden Hall. The topic considered was "How Schools Promote Patriotism and World Understanding. William E. Stark, dean of the College, presided as chairman. The speakers were members of the faculty and of the student body. Joseph G. Fletcher talked on "What are Patriotism and World Understanding?" and Cornelia Hall spoke on "Hindrances and Helps to Patriotism." Under the general topic "What Can Schools do to Develop Patriotism and World Understanding?" the subtopic "How the Teaching of History and Geography can Help" was discussed by Joseph Q. Cornick; J. G. St. Clair Drake told "How the Teaching of Language and Literature Can Help" and Amanda Teepe discussed "How the Teaching of Science Can Help." MRS. MILDRED JOHNSON DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS The funeral of Mrs. Mildred Johnson took place at Sixth-Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Tuesday afternoon, with Dr. A. W. Brown officiating. Mrs. Johnson was well known here and had been active in Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church and the Courts of Calanthe. She had retired from public life for many years because of illness and her passing will be mourned by citizens here because of her sincere work of other days. She died Sunday, November 16th at her residence on North Fourth Street. THE FUNERAL OF MRS. HARRIET WHEATON Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Harriet Wheaton, one of Richmond's oldest residents, who died at her residence, Wednesday, November 12, 1930, was held at the First African Baptist Church on Friday, November 14, 1930, at 2:00 p.m. "My Days are Gliding Swiftly By," and 'Nearer My God to Thee' were sung by the choir as the funeral cortege moved slowly down the aisle of the historic house of worship. The preacher, Dr. W. T. Johnson, took as the subject of his discourse, "Faithful," from the scriptural text "Be ye faithful unto death," and spoke feelingly and eloquently of the career of the veteran Christian who had at last received a crown of righteousness. He exhorted his hearers to emulate the example of this fallen saint. Mr. Albert Tribbett sang "God will take care of you" Numerous floral designs and letters and telegrams of condolence attested the high esteem and great respect in which Mrs. Wheaton was held by the citizens of this community and by acquaintances from distant cities. The interment was in the family plot in the Evergreen Cemetery and the arrangement were skillfully and efficiently directed by Messrs. W. I. Johnson and Sons, local morticians.

Randolph ORGANIZER AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WARNED OFF IN SOUTH CAROLINA New York, Nov. 14.— Miss Vivian Pierce, Executive Secretary of the American League to Abolish Capital Punishment, reports to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that an organizer of the League has been warned away from three counties in South Carolina because of lynchings, and because the white people were still too aroused to cooperate in any move looking toward the abolition of Capital Punishment. The organizer's letter, quotation of which is furnished the N. A. A. C. P., says in part: "Such culture and ancestor worship as abound in South Carolina!

A cloud of gloom and sadness hung over the head of Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday, due to the fact that the son of Rev. Arnold, their beloved pastor, hed been summoned to the great beyond. The services however was of a very high order. Rev. W. A. Roberts of Portsmouth preached a very fine sermon. Rev. W. H. Manokoo, pastor of Allen's A. M. E. Chaple Church of Franktown, delivered a very fine and inspiring sermon Sunday night to his congregation. His discourse was built around the thought of Job, being steadfast and unmovable even in the midst of his great affliction. His applications were very touching and convincing. Spectacle, to Ancient Capital THE ORDER OF GOOD CHEER Canadian music, songs of the soil, of village, farm and river, and the stirring, haunting "chansons" of "voeursons" and "coeurres du bois" (the pioneer woodmen on this continent) will be presented. In addition there will be representations of every handicraft practiced in old rural France and in Quebec Provinces. One of the two ballad operas to be performed represents a joyous song of French-Canadian and the other a page from the history of early French settlement in Acadia. The first, "A French-Canadian Wedding," written by Albert Bourgeois, vividly depicts the jollity of acense and dance accompanying a country marriage ceremony a hundred years ago. "L'Orde de Bon Tempus," the second opera, was written by Louvigny de Mongny, and achieved such remarkable success that it was translated into English and proceeded at the Sea Music and Festival at War, O. and Victoria Hall. "The Orde of Good Cheer" is directed from the diary of Marc Lescabert and paints a brilliant picture of life in the settlement of Port Royal under Champaign three hundred and twenty-six years ago.

Prices have been set low enough so that an all who wish to go and apply in time, may attend, the orchestra being placed five dollars for front row seats, five dollars for box seats, four dollars for rear orchestra and front mezzanine of the balcony a two and one dollars. The Waldorf Theatre is so constructed that all seats offer an excellent view of the stage.

The report shows that the number of patients admitted was greater than that of any previous year. Four thousand, three hundred forty-one were received, of which number, 1,112 were pay patients; 1,416 were indigent resident of the District of Columbia. Eighteen hundred thirty-one surgical operations were performed, and two received dental treatment. Fourteen thousand, eight hundred twenty-six were treated in the various clinics of the Dispensary. The completion of additions to the Nurses' Home, Power Plant, Employees Quarters and Dining Room, supplies needs of long standing and places the hospital in a position to tender better services to the public. The Surgeon in Cheif states that the most urgent need of the hospital a central building properly to house the activities of the Dispensary Service. The clinics are now conducted in small rooms, widely scattered and unsuited in every paricular for this work. An increase in the personnel, the report states, is also very urgent, and should include an educational assistant, assistant social worker, clerk, telephone operator and a full time painter. Sunday was a dreary day. Services was held at Ebenezer Church. And was well attended. A fine sermon was delivered by the Pastor Rev G. H. Brownley. Those on the sick list Mrs. Mary Burrell, Mary Robinson and Mr. John Brooks are improving. We hope they will all soon be well. A very fine program was rendered at Ebenezer Church last Tuesday night in memory of Armistice. It was given by the Blakes School pupils. M. Lyman Beecher Brooks made a very eloquent speech. It was enjoyed by everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hudgins and little daughter Violet went to White's Neck Sunday afternoon to see Mr. Hudgins father. They found him very feeble indeed. They also called to see Mrs. Agnes Peyton and had a delightful time. All day services will be held at Ebenezer Church on the 23rd of this month. Everyone is invited. Mrs. Wilhelmina Hudgins White departed this life Sunday night. She had been sick for a very long time, but she bore it all with patience until the end came. She was loved by all, both white and colored. Whenever you would go there she would always have a pleasant word and a smile for you. Though she could only speak in a whisper for a long time.

Brown takes the lead for the first week. The Contest shows from the out-set that it will be among the best that we have conducted. Most of the candidates will get started next week and from then on you may look for a real battle. The contest is still open for contestants, all you have to do is clip out the coupon on the bottom of this page and nominate one or yourself and get into the race. The battle for subscriptions this year will be comparatively easy as to what the contest has been, as 'here will be no minimum. The leader will get the Radio whether he has ten or ten million votes. We have heard from many of the candidates, who show much enthusiasm. Mrs. Ackward of Harrisonburg, says she hopes to hold all of the subscribers of last year and more besides. Mme. Mildred Bess of Lewisburg declares she will be heard from before the smoke is all cleared away. This is tenor of the echoes from the field. Many of them realize that this year has been the worst in the history of the paper and are giving their services as a mark of appreciation to publishers of the paper as they have fought so hard to keep it live. It certainly must be given more than a passing thought when one stops to note that Staunton is the only town in the two cities of its size that has a newspaper. Danville, Roanoke, Lynchburg in Virginia, Charleston, Huntington, Clarksville, Wheeling in West Virginia all have much larger populations than Staunton yet they have no Negro Newspaper. Not only does this show great cooperation from the colored people of our territory but it also shows the fine spirit of cooperation that is given the paper by the white firms of the city. This is the reason we must always be enlarging and holding our circulation—It is the advertising that keeps you from paying only a fraction of the cost of your paper. The Contest starting this week ends the week befor Christmas. This allows all prisons winning a prize to get the prize in ample time for Christmas as well as have the money you may earn at spare times for Christmas. We ask that those who owe for their subscriptions pay now and help some one of your own to win one of the valuable prizes offered in the easy drive. The standings are as follows: M. L.

From all reports the Banker was set back just about $300 last week when about five or six people of this city played 004. According to reports of the streets and from the same source of information it is claimed that Harrisonurg players also reaped a little harvest. They were pawed it is said. This is by far the largest amount of money ever to be taken in by Staunton players since the new craze hit the Valley last year. It is said however that Staunton players now play around thirty dollars a day, which averages about ninety dollars a week when a holiday is not listed. One of the big reasons that Staunton has become good Number territory is sai dto be sustained by the fact that the backers who now sponsor the game pay off promptly, Staunton, Winchester and Harrison-buhrg are the only towns it is said that have taken on to the "Numbers". Charlottesville, Clifton Forge, Covington, Wrightville, all have had them at one time or another. But, like it was at one time in Staunton, the Bankers did not pay off, therefore the game did not prosper. game is played now in Staunton practically every class of our group it is said. And too, they say that the $300 won last week came in at a mighty needy time here in the Valley. MEETING ENDS AT CHAPEL One of the greatest spirituals revival meetings ever held in Staunton closed Wednesday night at Allen A. M. E. Church. The meeting has been in progress since October 30 and ran through November 12th. It was carried on by Mrs. A. L. Davis of Cincinnati Ohio. She was assisted by Mrs. A. H. Davis a gospel singer and pianist. The meeting has drawn a crowded church each night since its opening. Mrs. Davis has preached gospel stirring sermons that have attracted the attention of the entire city. Many have been brought into the church from sinners and many reclaimed. Mrs. Davis came to Staunton under a glare of publicity in plabards, saying, "The Lord wants to save Staunton". Both white and colored have flocked to the church each night and it was not a strange sight to see both white men and women commencing in this Negro Church. Mrs. Davis is an acknowledged, leading evangelist and it is said that she further made good her reputation here as a gospel preacher by her soul stirring sermons. The Allen A. M. E. Church is pastored by the Rev. W. E. Clapp. Rev. Clapp came to this city this year from Wytheville where he had pastored with success. Dr. Rev. F. A. Seaton is the presiding Elder of this district and the church is in the Episcopal district of the Right Rev. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore. During the revival that has just ended the church has gained in memebrship as has no other church of the city. One of the high points of the revival was that money was kept in the background and saved of souls was featured. Only one night was given to the evangelist and one night to the singer and pianist. The success of this meeting is attributed much to this feature. At the Augusta St. M. E. Church, the Rev. D. D. Brown, pastor of W. Staunton with his gospel singers are beginning a revival.

VAN CORTLANDT PARK NEW YORK Relaying A Program To The United States By W. H. LIGHTFOOT, Jr. The first successfully program that was relayed from London to the United States was January 1st, 1926. Since then a number of special features have been broadcasted to the United States such as the King of England, Prince of Wales, The Naval Conference and League of Nations. A great number of people get a lot of pleasure out of listening to European programs, but a very few are able to own a receiver that will pick a direct program. That is because their receivers are not sensitive enough and the few people who do own ones that will receive a direct program their geographical location is not at all time sufficient so it became necessary for the radio corporation of America to set a number of radio relay station and receiving station for the purpose. Relaying of the Program On Oct. 25, 1930 an address by H. R. H. The Prince of Wales and a prominent speaker at the League of Nations Banquet, this was re-broadcast to United States.

True Stories Achievement Stories ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 22, 1930 BEN DAVIS, Jr. Feature Editor. THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL By RODD MYAR Halfway between Maryville and Arkoe, in Northwest Missouri, stands a weather-beaten pine tree the bole of which is many times larger in circumference than the biggest man in the community can span with his gangling arms. In this tree is a hole which resembles that made by an animal whose slow process of gnawing has succeeded in accomplishing his purpose, as a human being, with the same amount of pluck and determination could accomplish something much more worthwhile. A man can bury his arm in this hole to the shoulder; moreover it is pitch dark inside the tree. Certainly there isn't another pine anywhere near that would so nicely serve the purpose of a pair of imaginative young lovers as this ancient pine bole. Forbidden by irate parents to see one another, they—this boy and girl—wrote their passionate love letters and left them in the old postoffice pine. Bertha Clay and Tom Dodge were the only children in the Clay and Dodge feud which covered approximately twenty years and which was brought about when Bascomb Clay borrowed a pair of store scales from Timothy Dodge, which he lost and refused to replace. THE These able-bodied colored men had met under the spreading branches of the friendly pine and fought it out, the fight beginning at dawn and lasting until noon. Neither man ever wholly withstood the telling affects of this memorable battle and it had resulted in an approximate draw. Bascomb Clay and Timothy Dodge never spoke again. Bascomb Clay thought the world of his daughter who was like a bronze statue, and there isn't much doubt about the filial affection Timothy Dodge had for his son. But the lovers had begun to openly demonstrate their love when the families were upon the best of terms, so it wasn't reason- This young man composed a plaintive song about the tragedy and sold several hundred copies of it to those who recall the extraordinary event.

However, when Bascomb Clay discovered that Betha was reciprocating the affections of his hated enemy's son he promptly prohibited further meetings upon pain of death to the boy. But the comely girl had a mind of her own—as did young Dodge. They agreed to write letters and leave them in the hollow pine tree. Now entered unobtrusively—a third party, making the well known eternal triangle in this affair of young hearts. The youth, Darl Cattergood, was jealous of Tom Dodge, and spied upon the lovers. His own suit with the lovely Betha had resulted unsuccessfully. He was, perhaps, the better looking of the two boys. Dodge was smaller of build and shorter of stature, Cattergood, tall like a bronze god. But Cattergood learned that you can't force a woman to love you, even if you look like a movie star, if her heart is satisfied in heg (Continued on Page 2) Setsa Steel Trap for the Girl He Loves 2 Yegard for another. Darl watched them, wor- shipping Betha from a dis- tance. He saw her face in the sun, the moon and every twinkling star. She was re- flected in the brook, the ‘water at the mill-dam, the moss-covered wheel, the pansies growing in his mother’s yard, even in the clear blue of the summer skies. On the long lonesome trail to Maryville, Missouri, he often saw her in cleared places where there was noth- ing save sunshine. He was a youth hopelessly and _ tragi- cally in love and it’s difficult to disillusion lovesick youth.

Then he arose with the ‘metallic splendor of the brassy sun and camouflaging himself in the wild black berry bushes he watched for the show he had managed for his sole entertainment. He had located himself about a hundred yards from the pine, but he felt like a poach- er on sacred love ground. All was set for the tragedy —but the best laid plans of mice and men go astray. It happened that, on the morning Cattergood set the powerful trap, Dodge be- came suddenly ill with fever, and Betha appeared first at the postoffice in time to thrust her arm into the let- ter box before Cattergood, running in her direction, could scream out a warning. The steel sang its- sinister song when the jaws closed upon the innocent victim’s en- croaching arm. A wild cry of pain followed, a beating and a floundering for free- dom. The arm was caught near the elbow and the girl held there helpless against the weather beaten pine, hud- dled in a swoon, the im- prisoned arm holding her up- right. Cattergood, frightened, bent over the motionless form) of the girl he loved. He re- leased her from the trap and loading her across his big shoulder started for her father’s cabin, leaving a crim- son trail in his wake. When he reached his des- tination the girl was dead. She had bled to death. Immediately after this Darl Cattergood vanished. The folk residing in the vicinity of the antiquated pine contend that the timber is haunted. Some claim to have seen his ghost walking through the woods as though carrying the invisible-body of pretty Betha Clay.

And if you read the weekly astrological column of the Great Phenomena you can learn the hidden talents not only of yourself but of your friends—and your enemies too. See Page 5, Column 1. Carl awoke with a languorous feeling of blissful lassitude. Barely beyond the borderline of sleep, he had not the energy at first to realize where he was. He was vaguely conscious of some great happiness which hovered in his being with gentle sweetness. Gradually he became conscious of his surroundings. Directly above his head were the heavy rafters of a low roof. Across the room a bright fire crackled in a wide fireplace, and its resinous fragrance was a pleasant part of the strange room's charm. WHAT Carl pushes back out of the creak know what to do. He wants to le bewilderment, asks him what is w that if Bogo starts a rumpus the home and gets his revolver. But while he is gone, Carl go The steady drumming of rain beat a rythmic tattoo on the roof, and brought to his mind the queer feeling of joy which pervaded him. His mind groped for an instant, then a realization of where he was swept over him. He remembered his fight with Bogo the previous night. After that Toto had led him through the woods and to this secluded cabin. And after that . . . his mind reeled at the remembrance. . . The Love Nest He raised his head from the old-fashioned feather pillow upon which it lay. He was alone in the bed. He sat upright, seeking Toto. She was nowhere to be seen. A sudden panic possessed him, and he leaped up, calling her name wildly. A gust of cold damp wind struck him. He turned. Toto came through the door carrying an oaken bucket filled with water. She had a large red shawl around her shoulders, and the rain lay on her dusky hair like gleaming jewels. "Why, Carl, honey," she cried in quick alarm. "What's th' matter? You look like you'd seen a ghost!" Wordlessly the man crushed her to him. He kissed her upturned lips hungrily. "I thought—I was afraid you were gone away," he told her breathlessly. "Would you have cared?" Toto asked softly. "I would rather have died!" he vowed, holding her to him fiercely. "I love you so!" The woman pushed him away gently. "Get back in th' bed, honey-lamb," she ordered, "before you catch your death of cold." "But I don't want to leave you—even for an instant!" Carl told her passionately. "Just wait till I get these wet clothes off—and you won't have to—my man!" Toto promised, her grey eyes smouldering with hidden fires. For Carl the ensuing month glided by with a smooth, dreamlike quality. His unpleasant experiences of the past weeks were completely forgotten in the new and rapturous happiness which now possessed him with all-enveloping sweetness. Toto had kept him at her cabin for three days following his fight with Bogo. She had stayed by his side with watchful tenderness, anticipating his every desire. However, she was like a tigress too, in her fear that someone would come to take him away from her. At the least-sound near the hidden little cabin, she was instantly alert lest anyone take them unaware. Bogo Vanished On the fourth day Hotshot had managed to find them. He was pathetically glad to find Carl well and unhurt. He related that when he returned from his shack with his gun the fight was over, and everyone had gone. Some of the men had carried Bogo to one of the cabins where he had been given rude first aid by the women. Bogo seemingly was possessed of enormous vitality, because in spite of his many wounds received at Carl's hands, he had recovered enough to leave the place two days after the fight. Colonel Barre had ridden down to the cabins and ordered him off the plantation, and had warned him that if he ever returned, dire punishment would be his reward. Such had been the little man's news, and for once Toto seemed genuinely glad to see him, although she gave him no opportunity to talk privately with Carl. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 22, 1930 Carl pushes back out of the crowd unsteadily, so upset is he at the sight of Toto with Bogo. He doesn't know what to do. He wants to leave the place, but is unable to tear himself away. Hotshot, seeing his bewilderment, asks him what is wrong. Carl tells him. Hotshot advises Carl to confront Toto, and says that if Bogo starts a rumpus the two of them will "try his jaw." Then he tells Carl to wait while he runs home and gets his revolver. But while he is gone, Carl goes back to the table. Bogo laughs in triumph. Carl, acting on a sudden whim, shoots the dice for a large stake which Bogo fades. Quickly he wins most of the giant's money. While he is gambling, Elmira, seeing Toto with Bogo, figures that Carl may take up with her, so she stands by his side with her arm around him. Looking across the table, Carl misses Toto, but soon finds out where she is as she snatches Elmira back from the table. Then she returns and tells Carl to hurry up and break Bogo, as they have "something else to do." and break Bogo, as they have something else to do. Overhead a storm threatens, Carl at last wins all of Bogo's money, and the tables seem reversed with a vengeance. Bogo attacks Carl, and Toto gives Carl her keen bladed knife. Thunder and lightning lend a dramatic background for the terrible fight which follows in which Carl leaves Bogo senseless on the ground. Toto takes him off through the woods to her cabin. Carl and Hotshot Talk Things Over visit, Colonel Barre himself had ridden to the hidden cabin. "Done completely deserted my cotton fields, ain't you, boy?" he asked with a geniality which was not at all in accord with his words.

He was a bad man in more ways than one, and I'm glad to be rid of him." "I was worried about what you'd think of the affair," Carl said hesitatingly. Carl is Promoted that?" Carl didn't know what to say, but Toto smiled for the first time during the conversation. "Boss Man," she cried almost gaily, "you're the best man in the world—and I think you're smart to realize what a fine foreman my Carl is going to make!" here with Toto, otherwise I'd have turned the whole place over to find you.

"Boss Man," she cried almost gaily, "you're the best man in the world—and I think you're smart to realize what a fine foreman my Carl is going to make!" "Your Carl!" jeered Colonel Barre 3 uproarously. "This is kinda sudden, isn't it, young lady?" "Well, everybody knows that you only knew your wife for two weeks before you married her!" she returned with smiling imprudence. Colonel Barre, however, did not seem offended, but his ruddy face grew a shade paler and the laughter left his lips. "You're right; Toto," he mused sadly. "When you love somebody, time doesn't matter. Nothing matters." He peered at her sharply from under his shaggy white brows. "And I reckon you really love my weigher, don't you?" he questioned. "You know me well enough to judge that for yourself," Toto told him simply. "And you like this baggage well enough to stay on here with me, Carl?" he asked the youth, a note of withheld eagerness in his voice. The question was one which Carl was not prepared to answer with his usual straightforwardness. "It would seem so, wouldn't it, Colonel?" he temporized. The answer seemed to satisfy the Colonel, and after a few words of instruction regarding Carl's new position, he turned his horse so that it pranced gallantly, and rode away through the woods. "My daddy's the foreman now," Toto mused, planting a swift kiss on Carl's brow. III. Carl. the New Foreman Colonel Barre presented Carl with a handsome sorrel riding horse, that he might make his rounds of the share-croppers' farms, and attend to the business of the vast plantation. Although the days were still fairly hot, the nights were crisply cool, and held more than a hint of the impending fall. Carl sometimes thought about Chicago, and about his career, but as the days passed he found it increasingly difficult to dwell on the matter at all. Antoinette had become a pale memory of the past, and he could not bring himself to reproach himself for his lack of fidelity to her. He had not answered her last letter, but even this did not weigh heavily on his conscience. He didn't want to think of Chicago. He rode about his work with whole-hearted energy, and the thought of the slim, grey-eyed woman who waited in the secluded cabin for his home-coming made him light hearted and happy. Now that he was foreman the workers on the place accepted him without question, and under his direction they worked with more willingness and spirit than anyone on the place could remember. Carl found himself increasingly in love with Toto. She was a source of ever-growing joy to him. Her character was many sided, and offered many delightful surprises. Not since the night he had fought with Bogo for her had she shown the fierce, tigress side of her nature. Now she seemed highly content to tend their little home, and to cook and sew for him. "Are you happy, honey-lamb?" she would ask him, whenever he seemed quiet or abstracted. He would sense her vague fear, and hasten to reassure her. Ideal Lovers "Happy?" he would laugh. "Why, my darling, I couldn't be happier!" The days sped by and merged into weeks, and the weeks ran into a month.

Youjes' gwine do like folks want you to—lose your manhood and bow and scrape—" "Looks like we're down heah for de winter," the little man hinted. Carl laughed, "Why not?" he asked. "That's pretty good corn, isn't it, Hotshot?" he continued, changing the subject. Hotshot was not to be denied. "Yeah, pretty good cawn, but whut I ast you was is we or is we ain't gwine to be down heah de res' of de year?" Carl's eyes flashed. "I'll never bow and scrape," he began.

It makes you do things you never dreamed of." Carl sighed. "You are a persistent gentleman," he said ruefully. "Here I am trying as hard as I know how to forget all about Chicago—and the rest—and you keep bringing it up!" "I wouldn't fergit it effn I was you." Hotshot said with a gravity which was very unusual for his happy nature. "Cose I ain't nothin' but a hustler 'n a cotton picker, boy, but I see seen a heap of dis yere ole worl'.

An' dat's how I come to meet you down yere. Don't tell me bout love, boy. I knows al erbout it!" In spite of the little man's aggrieved anger, Carl was forced to laugh at his recital. "You had tough luck," he said sympathetically. "Yeah, an' dats exactly whut you gwine have ef you stays yere!" Hot-shot declared uncompromisingly. "Well, if nothing changes my present way of thinking, I guess I'm doomed to stay down here," Carl said, not at all unhappily. "I wouldn't change places with a king!" A Letter for Carl "Says you!" his friend jeered. Then he sighed deeply.

Boy, dat woman kin cook plumb out'n dis worl." "Are you sure it's her cooking?" Carl teased. When the men had finished with the corn Carl rode back up to Colonel Barre's house. His employer found him in the barn where he was rubbing salve on a bruise on one of the cow's legs. The old man stood watching him for a few minutes, then he coughed. "Letter for you, boy," he said with attempted casualness. Carl took the envelope slowly. He turned it over in his hands before he looked at it. He saw in the upper right hand corner the name of Bigal's bank, and he recognized it at once as a missive from the banker in Chicago. He looked up to find Colonel Barre staring at the envelope as though he suspected something of its import, but he withheld any comment. On his way to Toto, Carl did not open the letter. From time to time he took it out and looked at it. He feared what he would find within it. Suppose it contained an offer of a position from the banker? What would he do? Go to Chicago and a glowing future—or stay on the plantation with Toto, and sink into obscurity? (END OF INSTALLMENT TWELVE) (Carl now realizes, as never before, that he must make a decision between Chicago and a career, or the Louisiana plantation and love.

St. Joseph's PURE ASPIRIN THE LARGEST SELLING ASPIRIN IN THE WORLD FOR 10¢ 12 TABLETS 10c 36 TABLETS 25c When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home The best cough remedy that money could buy, can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs and chest colds, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It's no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes and heals the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 22, 1930 STARS OF "HALLELUJAH" AND "GREEN PASTURES" ENDORSE PALMER'S "SKIN SUCCESS" TREATMENT Lucky Boy!

Hard work day and night in medical school had taken its toll in my first year of practice in a spotted lung. I was told I could live but a few months at the terrific pace that New York sets. There was but one hope, and that was in nature itself. So I determined to come away, forsake my practice, forget the hum-drum existence in the great metropolis and commune with mother earth herself. My plans I kept secret and had just completed my packing, preparatory to leaving, when an urgent call took me to the home of Tom Crane, my old boyhood friend and classmate in college. The moment I looked into his anxious face, as he opened the door of his apartment on 145th Street, I knew he was baffled by some grave problem. He waved me to a chair in his den and slumped into a seat close at hand, only after he had taken every precaution to see that the door was securely locked and there were no eavesdroppers without. "Mel," he whispered hoarsely, "I am in serious trouble, and you are the only one to help me out. You will, won't you?" "Certainly," I assured him, "anything to help a pal, but I haven't much money."

She, too, forgot our relationship and—one night—don't look at me that way. Mel. I know it was an ungodly thing to do, but I could not help myself. But when we realized what we had done—" He buried his face in his arms and actually sobbed upon the disheveled desk. "But what do you want me to do?" I asked when he looked up. "Do? Why, man, don't you understand? That was two months ago, and today she told me—." "You don't mean that——?" "Just that," replied Tom, reading the question in my eyes. "You are a doctor, Mel. You are my best friend. Won't you help her out. I have nothing to offer. Tillie is well on the road to recovery now. She'll be walking again soon. If she knew, it would break her heart. You will, won't you, Mel?" There was a pleading in his eyes. I sat there stunned for a moment. The confession of my friend was hardly what I had expected of the visit. After several minutes of meditation, I replied, "Tom, I hope that what I am about to say will not lessen the friendship that existed between you and me since our boyhood days, but I am forced to disappoint you. --- A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL In the morning, I am leaving all that I have striven for these many years. I am going out in the open to try to win back the thing I have most neglected, my health. I am going out there alone fight for the thing I want most in this world, life itself. I could not go feeling the last thing I did in my profession was to take that which I need most myself, even at the cost of our friendship. Anything else I have, Tom, you can get, but my knowledge and skill to perform an act that in the eyes of the law is murder. I cannot give." "Then, you will let that child come into the world nameless, break my wife's heart and probably send her back to her bed, ruin my career, and call that friendship?" His question stumped me. I waited a moment to think. Pushing n.y hands deep into my pockets, I paced around the room. My eyes fell upon a picture of a girl. Long black curls dangled around a head of peach blown brown, laughing eyes that radiated mischievousness, and lips curved into a smile that displayed an even row of pearly white teeth. et and innocent girl was she, the very image of Tillie before it help feeling close to her." "Is this she?" I asked, noting a close resemblance to his wife, whom I had known. "Yes, taken several years ago down ir. South Carolina," Tom replied. "Tell you what, Tom," I said. "I cannot do what you ask, but if she will consent to marry me, I'll give your child my name." He looked aghast. "You don't n you'd do that, knowing what you do." "Oh, what's the difference.

Not only are these stories ingenuous thrills, by depicting the possibilities of the present generation has become ex and picturesque imagination and yet astonishing reality. THE HIDDEN By JOHN SYNOPSIS— (PART TWO) The Author has below started a series of extraordinary hypothetical stories which draw heavily upon the imagination but which pique the curiosity of the thinking reader, by projecting the reader several years into the future, when doubtless air travel will have practically supplanted land travel, when science will have achieved the "impossible" in effecting frequent and comparatively easy communication with the planet Mars, and when life will have become completely controlled by the limitless possibilities of scientific invention. Not only are these stories ingenious but stimulate breath-taking thrills, by depicting the possibilities of life on the earth many years after the present generation has become extinct. The author has indeed a vivid and picturesque imagination and you must agree that he writes with astonishing reality. THE HIDDEN KINGDOM By JOHN P. MOORE (PART TWO) BEGIN READING HERE: YOU ARE BEING told of my adventures as a member of H. S. Turner's secret expedition to the planet of Mars, which left Earth on the night of September 8, A.D. 2030, in the forward end of the eminent scientist's marvelously constructed rocket ship. Our turbulent and miraculous course through vast space having been recorded for you in The Shot Into Space. I sought in the first part of the present story to give you an a. urate account of what follows. when our "shi." finally, after endless eternities, during which we men became more or less insane, crashed into something firm and moved no more, it being shortly after this that we emerged cautiously from the close-fitting interiors of our especially constructed "iron coffins," in which our bodies were confined the greater part of the hazardous trip, and behold a great mass of bent and twisted metal; and it was then, for some reason unknown to us, that we lapsed into unconsciousness. Strangely, the next time consciousness came to us we were in a dark, cell-like room. Bound hand and foot, we were stretched out on the hard stone floor. Unwilling to believe the worst, and undoubtedly, a bit out of my head, I tried to convince myself that I was dreaming, th' I was in fact at my Philadelphia apartment, and, to make sure, I started yelling for Bennett, my manservant. This illusion, however, was shattered at once for my three scientist companions "It looked like a huge f huge red eyes." A space ship flies above the earth. Three people are walking on the surface. "It looked like a huge fish; shaped that way. It had huge red eyes." I am never quite certain as to how came to be stumbling along that long, dark passageway! I have a vague picture of my three companions cornered against the wall, half frightened, half-mad expressions upon their dark faces. I seem cloudily to recall being lifted bodily upwards and hearing at the same time, of an awful doom which would come to us once we were taken to a mysterious Great One, at the palace of Kay. . . Suddenly a great shaft of light reached down and almost blinded us. Struggling frantically, we were approaching the end of the passageway, and the next instant we were propelled, like three projectiles, into the open. All thoughts of struggle, of fear, deserted us. The sight that met us was incomprehensible! The reaction could have been seen in our lips, and our staring eyes! Only amazement was left. Straight ahead, we could see the length of a long, narrow street. It looked like it had been hewed out of solid stone, what with the two endless and uniform rows of stone building fronts, twelve stories high. Too, a seething mass, it was.

The author has indeed a vivid you must agree that he writes with EN KINGDOM P. MOORE regained consciousness at that time and proceeded to refresh my memory. Still, I held hopes that we had not reached Mars, that we had in fact crashed back to Earth, for we became aware of the most familiar notisse—like the work-a-day progress of a great city! Yet, shortly after this four of the most peculiar looking creatures entered the room, like four black-faced ghosts—about the size of twelve-year-old children, mere slits for mouths, drawn apart in throat grins, tiny black eyes sunk deep into their heads, huge protruding ears, long beaky noses, and all clothed in flowings, grey-looking robes. And all of them were brandishing small, dirk-like knives clutched (like iron-like fists. Believe it or not, they addressed us in English! — broken to be sure, but nevertheless, English! We were forthwith accused of entering the kingdom of Els against the wish of a mysterious Great One. Further, we were branded as spying Pragians—whatever that meant! and Mr. Turner started to explain that we were from Earth, but one of the devils stooled suddenly and delivered a terrific blow on his face, turning then and warning his companions that it was a "Pragian trick." Meantime I was "seeing red," and when they finally freed our ankles and wrists so that we could stand up, I lost my temper and in a raging fury, plowed into them—again and again; but quite suddenly about a dozen more of the peculiar creaturcs appeared in the doorway and soon a great mountain of living flesh and bones piled on top of me! NOW FINISH THE STORY. sh; shaped that way. It had There must have been ten thousand of these peculiar little creatures out there waiting to get a first glimpse of us! This, alone, would have been enough to paralyze us with wonder. But it was not all. As we were herded together now into the vanguard of the mob, Mr. Turner uttered an exclamation and we managed to turn for an instant and follow his gaze upwards. Now we were utterly speechless! We had every right, I contend, to expect to see sky. Yet, we didn't! Instead, what we saw looked like a vast roof of glazed glass, long and narrow, stretching over the heads of the milling mob as far as we could see! It— But Mr. Heaton caught our arms and commenced to babble. "Necessity IS the mother of invention!" he half-screamed. "They are so far away from the sun—so cold! They build their cities into the planet's crust, and roof their streets with—" He never finished. A great wail went up and the seething masses began to part before us as the deep seas part before the bow of a ship. It wrought havoc with our souls! Our captors fell into the spirit and began pounding huge fists against their bulging chests, jumping up and down, howlin, with a boastful satisfaction. The voice of the mob took on the unmistakable tones of deep-seated hatred. The sea of black DETECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations. Experience unnecessary.

"Serpents of Pragus!" I heard. "All spying Pragians do ne scum! Their blood! The righteous citizens of the Great Kingdom of Els do lust for their blood!" And there went up a great cheer. A mob suddenly began closing in on us. Our guards began shouting something about the Great one, but it was drowned. The next instant they were being sent tumbling head over heels and swalloped up by the howling mob, and in the flip of a finger we four men from Earth were surrounded by thirty or so spitting, cursing fanatics! A$^{+}$ least, so it seemed as they began to shout: "To the Plain of Death do they go! Too vile they be to filthify the presence of the Great One! Whoop! Cast them outside we fearless Elsians will!" Another great wail arose from ten thousand mouths. Numb with fear, we felt ourselves being roughly turned about and rushed back in the direction in which we had come. In a comparatively short time we were back at the mouth of the tunnel, and soon it was like a great sewer choked with rats! What followed immediately I do not know. I seem to be able to recall other and hopelessly vain struggles; I seem to remember being half dragged, half carried past the closed door which was the entrance of our recently vacated prison chamber, and, yes, I have a vague recollection that we strove vainly to halt the procession there, but were carried on with the mob through a darkness which seemed to suddenly incline upwards . . . up . . . up, toward a circle of light far ahead— Four Negro explorers being rushed to a mysterious doom because they entertained the audacity to delve into the unknown!—Brent, novelist; Brown, Turner, and Heaton, eminent scientists! The passageway finally emptied into a large circular chamber, and we became very cold. At the same time, a vibrating cheer came out of the darkness behind, and, while our thirty or so captors answered them lustily, we became aware that the milling mass had for some reason sagged behind. It was suggestive of something very awful! Why didn't they follow to see us die? What were they afraid of? The answer came soon. Very soon. Huddled together, we saw a half dozen of them place a heavy sort of a ladder against the circular skylight above, after which one of them went to the wall and pushed something; we saw the great disc overhead begin to move upwards, and the next instant a great wave of biting-cold air reached down and set us trembling to our very toes! So this was the end. I gave up. We all did. One by one, we were whipped up the ladder and the great disc fell back in place, leaving us on the frigid surface of Mars—three tiny specks in an incredibly vast planet of trackless snow and ice! Mr. Heaton suddenly screamed. Already beginning to freeze to death, we swung around! And you talk about your earthly fear. You don't know what it is! Already upon us and moving swiftly over the snow, we beheld something that made us want to die! It looked like a huge fish; shaped that way. It had huge red eyes, a mouth, and a swishing tail. It was green in color, and it made a soft, purring noise—— Well, we were half dead any way. By the time the thing reached us, we had sunk stiffly down on the hard snow. It was the end. . . It was Mr. Turner. We did. Nothing mattered now. We saw and we didn't see. There was neither amazement nor fear among us. We were half dead. It was just a mirage anyway. We waited.

We don't love each other, so what difference do a few thoughts make?" Tom called Janice in. The look on her face showed that she was undergoing a terrible strain. From the way she looked, I could tell that she had been anxiously waiting in an adjoining room to hear what my verdict would be. "Don't be alarmed," I assured her, after Tom had broken my proposition to her. "You'll be as safe as a dollar up there with me. It is merely a solution to an embarrassing situation for us both. You need me, and God knows I'll need you up there all alone, that is if you can cook." *** When the Montrealer pulled out of Grand Central Station the next day, Dr. Melvin Coleman and his bride were aboard, and a handsome couple they made, if I do say it myself, in spite of the dark rings that circled my eyes and a hacking cough that caused people to look at me pityingly. Four years ago that was. The months saw the spring melt into a sweltering summer. We fished along the bank and often sputtered up the river in an outboard boat to the edge of the Thousand Islands that dotted the water that separated the United States and Canada. Summer passed into winter, and a fat squaw from a reservation Indian camp came down many miles through the snow to help when the baby was born. Equally fat neighbors of French-Canadian descent, who knew not the meaning of our color prejudice, brought dainties from their pantries and congratulated me on having such a fine boy. Janice lying there on her soft white pillows, looked at me knowingly. Tears trickled down her cheeks as the wide brimmed circuit riding minister wanted to know why we named the baby Tom instead of Junior. "It's after her father," I explained. Chopping logs for fire wood to keep them warm, tracking the forest for game to make them broth hardened my muscles. Spring found me a new man. Four years of this, years in jumped down into the snow and rushed toward us. I closed my eyes. But the next moment I was being lifted up, and when I opened my eyes I saw that we were being carried into the queer monster's belly (I subsequently learned that it was, in fact, a Pragian airship), and I can now just barely recall the grating sort of deep voice that seemed to be saying: "A bright trick it do be! Again, the cunning of Pragus do triumph over the added-brained Elsians! It be well that our good ship did catch signals from the thirty Pragians good and true, who even now do continue to deceive the thick-headed Elsians! Haw! Haw! Haw! May the good God always smile on our kingdom's worthy spies! . . . Now, let us be gone to the noble kingdom of Pragus with these four curious, half-dead supermen!"

My interest in the girl was that of kind tolerance. We both felt that we were parties to a bargain, void of sentimentality. Several months after her confinement, I saw no reason why she should waste her young life away up here, far removed from all companionship of her own set just because I was obliged to remain. "You can go back," I proposed, "get a divorce, and start your life all over again with someone you really love." A peculiar look came across her face. There was something strange in her eyes, something I had never noticed before. The flickering light from the dying embers of a log fire made her more beautiful than ever. Motherhood had taken away that girlish look that had always forced me to think of her as an unfortunate child, a sort of kid sister. "You mean," she almost faltered, "that you are going to send me away—that you could do such a thing?" "Not forcing you," I explained, "merely giving you the opportunity to get some happiness out of life. I have nothing to offer. I am but a shell of my old self, a physical wreck. It was madness to marry you under such condition... You could never love me knowing what you do." "Is it any harder for me to love you merely because of your physical condition, which even now is improved, than for you to love me?" she asked earnestly. "I have even less to offer you than you have to offer me. All the things that a man could hope for in a wife, innocence, chastity, honor, you have already been robbed of. These things can never be reclaimed, because they are abstractions, while already nature has given back the things that civilization took from you. The rings have gone from your eyes, your hollow cheeks are filling out, your appetite is increasing daily. Soon al your imperfections will have disappeared, and you will be new again, but I can never be. The reminder of my shame will always be near at hand to haunt us, to keep us apart."

"He is ours, Mel," she said, laughing through her tears. "Tom would have murdered him when he was still an apprehension, to save his pride. You have saved him, you brought him here, you nurtured him. He's ours, Mel, ours after all. Can't you kiss me? Can you forgive me and learn to love me? I'll do anything—anything. I love you, Mel. Haven't you seen it? Have you been blind all these months?"
