Mr. EDITOR
Will you kindly permit me space in
your very valuable, great beneficial
and race defending journal TO speak OF
chs section of the southwest. First,
we desire to speak of our enjoyable
and pleasant visit in your beautiful,
magnificent and business city. While
there we had the pleasure OF sto. ping
with Rev. and Mrs. X q Johnson, b
D., of 1905 Hickory st. Indeed words
are inexpressible for us TO relate how
royalty we were entertained by this
disting uished family. We return
them many thanks for their hospitali-
ty and kindness to us In company
with Rev. johnson we had the pleas
ure of visiting Richmond's two leading
race Journals of the South, viz. the
PLANET Office and also the Virginia
Baptist" These two papers are doing
an everlasting and undying good for
the race. We hope the day is not far
off when every one of the race will be
paying subscribers to these journals.
There has been a great deal of talk
about town since we arrived from our
eastern trip that the True Reformers
had bursted In Richmond, simply be-
cause we endorsed what the PLANET
published in its issue OF the 7th. rela-
tive to the $50 900 voted away by the
delegates and officers at the Grand
Sitting. Such an action as this has
never enriched any institution or bus
mess enterprise since the dawn Of ere
alton. We are opposed to the ordel
lgiving away as donation, we nigh
say, that amount to one individual
There are many who would like t,
voice the same sentiments, as you hav
well-done, but they fear the ''Boss
The True Reformers are not at al
bursted, the order, we presume is il
as healthy a condition as it has eve
l been They have as we generally d
here, put the wrong construction o
, what they hear. We will forever stan
by the PLANET and its noble editor
and millions of others.
The weather here for the past tw
weeks has been intensely warm.
We have a great many cases of feve
and other sickness.
