ness! Are we asleep or are we dream
ing?
In the last Christmas issue of the
RICHMOND PLANET, DIR. Graham. in
commenting upon the biography of the
newly elected President, wrote to the
effect, that he was of an economical
disposition, having desire to perpetuate
the company. In the eight wears of
meeting one with another, it NAV be
that the rest of the stockholders have
perceived in their new President these
same qualities. Then by what manner
of reasoning is it, that a company of
squanderers and spend-thrifts, should
elect as their leader a man so dis-similar
10 themselves? The stock holders of the
Old Reliable were saving money. buying
homes and building strong and endur
ing characters long before the Rich
mond beneficial Insurance Company
was organized or Rev. DIR. W. +. Crab
am had left his far away Arkansas
abode, But TO the charge contained in
the circular, now, as to Cooperation;
DIR. Graham knows as well as any one
can know that, that question has never
been engendered into our business
though we gave our personal Offering i'm
maintaining the National Baptist Con
ventlon: even 70 the extent of evacuat-
ing our beds with our wives and child
rem, for pallets ON the floor, not because
of any issue, but because they were
honorable guests, and as such we receiv-
ed and loved them. We have assisted
the Virginia Seminary and College be-
cause they were in need and because we
had not lost the milk of human kind
ness.

acy! If it is wicked consniracv for a

that the respect they have lor the Cos

go until they had explained TO him
about the rumor. DR.. Graham seeing
however that the members were firm i'm
naVlng their request respected, finally
left the room in company with Mr..

The candidates having retired. Secre-
tary and General Manager Taylor pro.
ceeded TO put the vote, which resuited
IN o for DR.. Graham and 9 for Mr.. r

y1ted IN and the vote announced, which
declared the election of Mr.. E. F. John

The other officers of the 90. were duly
nominated and voted upon with the fol-
lowing results:

At this point, Secretary Taylor AN.
nounced the Board of Officers for the
ensuing year; whereupon President
Graham again took the floor. stating
that he was minister of the gospel
and desired that they would tell him
the reasons for their action.
The members could not see the wis
dom for such course, since the work
OF the company was purely of a busi-
ness nature aud that the office of presi.
dent was an elective one, carrying with
1t a salary of $1,000 per month, besides
other expenses In view of this fact,
the members contended that their rea-
sons should not be called into question.
Ihey therefore adopted a resolution
making the election of Mr.. K. f. John.

THAT SUIT OF CLOTHES"
At this stage of the proceedings, there
was somewhat a feeling of sadness per.
vading the meeting. DR.. Graham still
desired some statement made by the
company as TO his removal, and asked
that committee be appointed to con-
fer with him relative to what ho Ciesir-
ed. BY common consent, DIR. Graham
was allowed to appoint the following
committees. John T. Taylor, ]. f. Byrd
and j j. Carter, for the purpose of
drafting resolution, if possible, in
keeping with DIR. Graham's views and
as nearly S possible the views of the

that since he did not mean to do the
company any harm, he hoped that the
members would not cause him to wait
until the meeting Of the Board, for
what he and the committee might de-
eide upon. The members then left the
matter with the committee and DIR.
Graham.
DR.. Graham at this point made a
lengthy statement, saying that not
withstanding the action of the mem
bers, he intended TO stay in the insur-
ance work, for he loved it. That he

The course taken by DR.. Graham in

! thles of some of the members, found
expression in the suggestion by one of
the members, that we give Dr. Graham
