THE ART CLUBS
HAPPY SCHEME
Finest Paintings Possible TO be
Brought Here for Exhibit.
Society Girl as Model.

The Richmond Art Club purposes a
most pleasing innovation for this winter.
1t is the intention of tho club to have
some fine painting always on exhibition
al the clubhouse. The idea is TO have
the people OF the city who love pictures.
and they are legion. to come to the club
house frequently and get in closer SYM
lathy with it. The innovation will not
have any conflict with the annual art
exhibit in tho spring. That will take
place next April. as it did last year and
will surpass that, which is saving a great
deal.
II is tho plan of the club to bring from
New York and elsewhere q particularly
fine picture and keep it on exhibition for
a month. The people Of the community
will be invited to come and see the pic
ture. When a certain picture has had IT'S
run it will ne slIpplanted by another. and
50 on The people OF the city will ne eX-
ceeGlngly grateful for this fine opportu-
nifty to sec a good painting. Thousands
Of Richmond people love pictures That
VAS shown beyond all room for doubt
BY the attendance on the art exhibit last

tered a VOW with high heaven that never
again shc.ld negroes dominate white peo-
pie.
The true object and need Tor q suf-
frage was to relieve white men from the
threat of negro domination. a. threat
which was used as d club to dragggoon
good men into submission to all forms Of
political and other chicanery.
He objected to the unders standing clause
because it not only required l36.oD white
people to pass through the ordeal OF
being examined. but placed their right
OF suffrage on the caprice Of an election
officer, and all succeeding genera tons OF
white men. 1t operated on 10000 literate
negroes to be admitted or excluded as
the election officer might determine, thus
continuing the negro as menace TO the
peace and order of society. The possi-
bilities of calamity were appalling and
before be would vote for such a measure
he would go home and leave the suffrage

constitutions. lity of the Thorn plan.
He objected to the Daniel plan because
it was Inefficient to begin with. because
it put on $4,000 negroes to begin with.
and it ended still worse because its re-
quremcnts for the future were not Sc
verercnough h.
THE NYsoR PE1AN.
Mr. Glass said the Wysor plan was
called flexible instead of fraudulent, be-
cause its patron claimed it would exclude
q. 800 negroes and para lyzc all the balance.
He declared The BraXton plan was clearly
Unconstitutional. If the grandfather
clause was knocked out the property
clause would disfranchise 100000 white
men under a property qualification. He
objected TO a property qualiiiCa ton DC
cause it placed a man of learning, m
tesrity. character and patriotism on the
low plane of a man who devoted ms
whole life and thought to simply getting
gain of property. 1t stamped the mark
OF honor on a worshinper of mammon,
and denied the privilege even of citizen
ship to an humble worshipper of the
lowly Nazarene.
He said ne was not opposing the Tom
pIan because it disfranchsed negroes, but
because it made it possible for some
rascally election officer 70 cheat white
men.

A $500 Christmas Present.

Last Saturday E. Thorson, the grocer,
received a draft for $500 as a Christmas
present from his half brothers and sisters
who reside at Seneca, Ill. 1t was, of
course, a very plsasant surprise and tes-
titles to their kindly and fraternal feel
ing toward their brother.
The donators are all quite wealthy
people and all reside in the same Vi
ciDity. There are two sisters and three
brothers and their names respectively
are Miss Mary Danelson, Mrs Bertha
Chapman, Nelson, George and Cornelius
DanelsOn. Mr.. Thorson and these five
half brothers and sisters are all child
rem of the same mother, although differ
