Dear Sir:-I see through your paper
that the conflict is SILL raging. The
man is sentenced to be hanged, also
one of the women. Can it be possible
she must die? God forbid. Think of
that poor babe. what will become of it.
Let us still hope and pray though, like
Daniel among lions, God may yet de-

with the case with great interest and
in accordance to the statements given
1 am of the opinion that the white
man should be punished. The doomed
man was induced TO help him commit
the crime and then instructed to i'm
plicate those who knew nothing of the
affair whatever. In order to escape
the punishment due him, he has made
a confession. He is the man and re-
peated the threat he made to the
doomed man, that he would shoot him
at sight. He also threatened to shoe
the Editor..of theiPLANET. In addition to
this they found his name on Hotel
register at Richmond, Va. Is not this
proof enough of hisguilt. Where is hei

not the authorities bring him to trial.
Let the guilty suffer and release the

when they shall breathe the free all
of heaven again.

God heard their cries. He saw theil

us. Yes, thank God, he has heard u
and given us a Moses that shall lead u

Good people bark pray you give

Who dealt the fatal blow,
Her soul unto her Maker sent,
And laid her body low.

At 80 p m. the exercises began

This has been a successful year fer
Hampton both from the industrial and
academic standpoint. The young men
have done we'll in many particulars
Hampton has great advantages for
the Negro of the South, in fact the
whole country. She is not satisfied
with past achievements, but is trying
to do more each year towards giving
her students better trades and also a
higher course in academies
1t would be well il every colored man
in the whole southland had trade.
1t is important that we see to it that
ocr young men learn trades, so they
can become architects for houses, con-
tractors and thus make their services
indispensable. 1t has been well said
that il this race rises it must be
through work. We know that no trueI
statement was ever uttered by any
man. Then let us prepare ourselves tC
hold our own in this land that our fore
fathers made to bloom like the rose
Hampton will help you, Tuskegee will
help you and many other schools will
help you TO lay the foundation. Hamp-
ton is going to putup a trade school thi:
summer which viii be up TO date in

Editor Wood Speaks.
Macon, Mo-, Review.l

The Richmond PLANET, edited by
John Mitchell, Jr., is one of the bright
est exchanges that comes to desk. II
is a niue column folio. and is filed with

Mitchell is an up-tO-date newspaper
man, and the PLANET is surely taking
the lead as a wide awake journal.
