Dear Sir:-The Colored state Fair
Association. Inc, came into existence
for the purpose OF holding annually
a state fair at Richmond. Va. The
necessity for such an institution IS
evident by the fact that the races are
separated on railroads. streetcars.
steamboats,. and other public places.
and even IN public parks
We viii hold the first colored state
fair at the fair grounds at Richmond.
commencing October cath and ending
ON the 29th. We expect a large OK
hibit and a large attendance daily.
The Norfolk g. Western r. r. Co has
reduced the rates over their lines TO
one fare and onc-6fth of a fare. which
makes &c easy for anyone to attend
the fair any day during the week Of
the oath OF October Tickets will be
on sale from the 23rd OF October.
good 60 the first OF November at all
the stations along their road other
railroads have agreed for reduced
rates. or excursion rates so as 20
make it easy FOR an 20 attend the
colored fair.
Another reason why we should
hold a separate fair annually is be-
cause the colored people OF North
Carolina, South Carolina. Mississip-
p. Alabama, Kentucky. and other
southern states hold annually state
fairs for the exhibition OF the pro
ducts OF the race IN these states. The
Colored people OF Virginia are in
deed behind In this respect. and will
make the first start I'm the right di-
rcction on the oath OF October The
program for the week OF the fair will
Doe attractive from every point OF
view. On the first and second days
there will be speaking. Among those
who have been invited 90 address the
people are eN-President Roosevelt.

From Helena Arkansas.

The many readers Of The
PLANET will be glad 10 read OF the
itinerary of the beloved pastor OF the
Fifth Street Baptist Church. the
Rev. w. +. Graham, ID. D., who spent
yesterday in this city. and preached
for the Centennial Baptist Church
20 the entire satisfaction OF ali whose
pleasure 10 was to hear him.
DR.. Graham is not a stranger In
Helena. for he and the pastor of the
Centennial Church, began their pub.
lie career about the same time and
in Arkansas. Yesterday was a great
day in this city, for IL had been pre-
viOusly announced that DR.. Graham
would preach and the people were
anxious to hear this great man OF
God, and began to pour into the
church by the hundreds, long before
the hour arrived for preaching. He
was introduced by the pastor, Dr.
Morris, as his special and personal
friend, and that OF itself, was suf-
ficient TO get him into the hearts OF
the people.
He used as text John 1920. and
preached a powerful sermon, which
was well received by the entire au
dience. DR.. Graham and his interest
ing family leave this afternoon for
New Orleans to be present at the
meeting OF the National Baptist Con
vention.
Very truly yours,
J. s. DREW.

At every cross-road the train took
passengers, until we reached the last
station 10 the city.
IL is interesting 20 note the growth
OF the many villages along this trav-

we're sparsely populated. are now
rapidly growing into densely settled
towns and cities.
Factories for various purposc8 are
going up. These are evident signs OF
a great ana prosperous country.
Having kept our seats for ten
hours. we reached the capital Of the

Notwithstanding our being engaged
in looking at the pretty things OF
art and nature en- route, and the
Testlessness OF crowded train. we
were glad 70 get down for a change
OF position, and elbow room.
Being strangers. we thought IL ad

and comfortable home. a very clever

us 20 such n home We boarded his
hack. and we were soon 90 Mrs. NJ

We looked at Mrs. Brown (she is
a model wOman) and our surround

this was the right place.
She pointed out our room on the

that his rest was sweet and undis-
turbed So was ours. We refreshed
ourselves. and went out for a walk

were Interesting. Seven Pines being
a historic place. we took the Clay
street car for this point The trip
was eighteen miles-beautiful hay
and CNrn farms. truck gardens. with
MAGNIFICENT suburban homes. The
beautiful hills and landscapes cover
ed in green so engaged us, that we
were there, when we thought we were
halfway. We saw more than Seven
Pines, how many we cannot tell.
Quite a number OF them, and other
trees. displayed evident signs OF "A
fatal and disastrous war. Many an
honest and brave man must have lost
his life here: which was an index to
the deHberation OF the dusky hewers
OF wood and drawers of water.
Mrs. Jones found an ornamented
pin on this famous war sight. which
she holds dear as a keepsake and
souvenir.
Returning, we planned to see the
home OF His Excellency, jefferson

We visited the public buildings. City

RACE RIOT NEGRO
SUES FOR 100000

visors OF Accomac county, in the
United States court here for dam
age alleged to have been done TO him

The plaintiff claims that his bust.
ness which brought him a compe-
tency Of $4,000 a year, was broken
up as a result of a riot which oc-
Cured in Onancock. August II, 1907
which caused him 10 fee to save his
life.
Burton also alleges that che author
tiles OF the law of Onancock and Ac-
comac county, aided and abetter in
the riot and had much 20 do with his
spending almost a year in Jail before
he was finally acquitted OF a charge OF
murder as a result of his appeal
from sentence OF ten years in the
penitentiary. to the superior court of
Virginia; that his place was destroy
ed by fire by either the defendants
of the suit or at their interest.
The negro also alleges that his
property valued at $4,000 had been
confiscated and that he Is still the
victim OF the conspiracy. as he Is re-
strained from returning TO his home
on account OF threats TO do him bod
fly harm.
