Mr.. OLIVER APPOINTED.
Under this section 1 write to inform
you that / have appointed A. J. Oliver,
delegate to the Fifteenth Annual Ses-
sion of The Grand Fountain, and State
Deputy at large, Deputy General for
the purpose of rallying and concentrat
ing the forces of the Grand Fountain
in an attack made upon the Brother
hood by the editor of the Richmond
PLANET.
1t is plain TO every one who has read
the article styled, REV. Brownies
Grab" that / have fine suit for Ii
bel and could beat him in the courts.
have the guarantee of many eminent
lawyers, white and colored, but /
don't desire to do that.
LABELS FALsEHooD As TRUTH
am afraid it would leave the enc
mics to say that we took advantage of
him on account of his unpOpularity
with the whites of this country, there
fore he with his friends, Revs. Evans
Payne and u. d Lewis, who we met in
--the courts in the city of Richmond in
the Porter case and whipped before
the people, they have rallied and have
attacked us, The Grand Fountain in
its 18th Annual Session. They have
attacked US with falsehood, bluff and
braggadocio. My object is to take
the truth, the simple truth, the plain
truth, the righteous truth and meet
United Order of True Reformers with
truth from the least to the greatest
and meet the hydra-headed monster OF
falsehood, not by ridicule, not by
abuse, but with the simple act OF
truth, truth put into action, truth put
into circulation.
AccREDITs REV PAYNE's ASSERTIONS Tc
THE PLANET.
The PLANET says in its issue of Sep.
tember 28th, that 'the fight is on and
a fight to the finish T" We ask "ThC
fight against whom2 The answer
comes, The Grand Fountain and the
18th Annual Session; therefore shal
the Grand Fountain fight itself by SUI
porting the PLANET Shall The Crane
Fountain destroy itself by supportin,
the Planet Mr. Mitchell is advised
in that issue to vanquish or annihilat,
William W. Browne and his "misguid
ed followers" the 10Th Annual Session
of The Grand Fountain of the United
Order of True Reformers shall tn,
members of the 18th annual Session
destroy thems elves by supporting tn,
PLANET ? Would it not prove that vi
are misguided followers if we will SUI
port the PLANET and help the PLANE
to vanquish us
Is not self-preservatiop the first lay
of nature i? If we help the PLANET ar
we helping to preserve ourselves, o
are we helping to destroy ourselves
Does the law of God or the law of ma
expect US to destroy ourselves or as
sist others in destroying us If W
give a ten year old boy whip, an
bare our backs to his whip. he can lac
crate our backs and in fact whip us t
death.
AN OLD CHESTNUT.
If we feed the boy, clothe the boz
pay rent for the boy, buy the whip 70
the boy, put cracker on it for tn
boy, take our clothes off for the boy
lay down for the boy and say boy viii
us, of course the boy can vanquish u.
OF course the boy can annihilate vi
The PLANET says "she wilr annihilat
US, that she will vanquish the Tru
Reformers." The question is shall w
help her to do it -? The war is betwee
Falsehood and Truth, whether False
hood is stronger than Truth or whetf
or Truth is stronger than Falsehood
