Battling away with the wind abeam,
And the wide. wide sea before,
Sailing away in a lovers dream
To the port Of the golden shore;
Idle hands on the r1d3er bands.
Hope IN the sunrise fair.
And the hearts as light as the sea bird
white
Afoat in the morning air.
Love. in the dawn Of that far-oH time.
Did you guess Of the weary way
Dearest, when life seemed a summer
rhyme
Could We tell where we went astrayz
Silent tears through the coming years.
Darkness for you and me.
And doubt and dread Of the wiIds ahead
Fell chill as we sailed a-ssa-
Sailing ashore with a waning wind
On the glass 81 a dreaming tide.
Leaving the dark or the deep behind
For the light Of the other side;
Loosen hands from the Tudder bandsi
All to the margin foam
Comes breath o. land Ger the golden

Oh sweet IS our welcome homet

elongated and without the scales that

Rev. ). N. Vass, corresponding secre-
tary and agent Of the American Bap-
tlst Publication Society with headquart-
ers at Philadelphia, Pa, and who re-
sides at Raleigh, N. O., found il neces-
Sary to labor" in this field during the
entire week that the trial was in pro-
gress.
Inc attendance was scant during the
opening days of the case, but towards
the end the court room was crow ded
with a living wall of humanity,
FIGURED A LARGE VERDICT.
Some of the First Baptist church en-
thuslasts inquired that Brother Nelson
Williams, Jr., would be awarded dam
ages any where from So 900 to So. 600
Their surprise and disgust may be read
lily understood when a jury OF white
citizens, after about three quarters of
an hour dehberation, decided to give
him One Q) Cent. These gentlemen
stood nine to three in favor of Mitchell.
Three of them " ere in favor Of giving
him nominal damages and the other nine
deemed it useless to further prolong the
discussion decided to give him the mum
ificient sum Of One (1) Cent.
BROTHER WILLIAMS MUST PAY COSTS.
In this court when damages awarded
are under Ten Dollars the plaintiff
must pay the costs This was news to
Brother Williams and carried much
sadness to the representatives of the or
ganization with which he affiliates.
Williams has made no secret Of th

fact that he is any thing but satisfied
and he is quoted in the Richmond. Va.
Dispatch of last Sunday as SAYING that
there is much indignation among his
friends on account of the verdict. Suf-
nee 1T to say that amongst the colored
people of Richmond, the verdict has
given general satisfaction. The church
going people seem to regard it as a vim
dication of right principles.
JUDGE MINORS DECISION.
The decision of Judge Minor that the
Editor of the PLANET had a right To
publish the First Baptist church pro-
ceedlngs and the letter of the Rev. w
L. johnson indirectly settled many 9th
er issues involved.
According TO this ruling the First
Baptist church did wrong in excludin0
Editor Mitchell for doing what ne had
a night to do. 1t also indicates tbe
Fifth Street Baptist church in calling a
council and in finally receiving John
mitchell, Jr., as a member of that
chlrch. The ex-parte council which
met at the Fifth Street Baptist church
with Rev. Dr.G. w. Lee of Washington
u. u, as chairman, was also vindicated
Tor the ruling of Judge Minor is strict
~ IN accord with the action of that
body.

at one time COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY
Oh hlchmond city. He served many
years IN congress and was senior conn

mon. Charles V. Meredith was at one

Mr.. J. Thomas Hewin, the colored
attorney is graduate of the Richmond

THE OTHER SIDE.
The array of counsel on the other side
was brilliant. Williams had originally
employed Mr.. H. M. Smith Jr and
Mr.. J. R. Pollard, colored. He added

regarded as an authority ON civil law.
The issue was joined and the atten-
