Saturday was the first Saturday in
May and the city was flooded with
colored folks from all over the coun-

the crowds on the streets did not
seem to be any smaller than usual.
The first Saturday in May has come
to be great day for meeting and fra

this year was no exception. In fact
the streets were almost as crowded
as on show days.

NO APPEAL TO GOVERNOR
FOR ASSISTANCE OF TROOPS

At the Office OF Governor Stuart last
night 1t was stated that no report
had been received OF any Iynchinx
in northumberland County, nor had
the Governor received any request for
military aid In maintaining order.
1t Was stated that the last previous
lynching In Virginia happened APP
proximately eighteen years ago, during
the administration of Governor ]. Hcgo
Tyler. when a lynching occurred near
the town OF Emporia, In Southsids Yir-
Giuia.
On many occasions, both during this
and previous administrations, troops
have been called out to aid sheriffs
I'm maintaining order and TO protect
the lives of the accused until an or
derby trial.
Governor Stuart has frequently ex.
pressed tho hcpe that his entire adj
ministration would pass without the
disgrace of lynching in this Com
monwealth.
During the great fire in Hopewell
more than year ago there were per-
sistcnt reports that negro had been
lynched for lootine in the ruins. An
official investigation was made, In
which tho story was found to be
without foundation in fact, though in
several tabulations which went out
afterwards Virginia was charged err
