What good does this do? This is
practically the law already upon the
statute books. 1t is not inside OF the
matrimonial yoke that the damage is
beng done, but outside of it. But the
Times-Dispatch opens its eyes wide 10
the truth, self evident fact when it
sn;s:
This proposed legislation will in no
wise solve the Negro problem. for. as
MI Cox says. there are only two y
lrtiOns Of that: separation or amaiga
nation. But it will at least express AN
ideal and throw every possible safo-
gusid around racial purity.
In the language Of one Of our great
est statesmen, ut ia. a condition and
not a theory that copfronts u.s." And
again: - =, -
Tho preservation Of racial integrity
means everything. in tho opinion Of
Dir. Cox and Mr.. Powell. Civilization
flowers only with the white man. Dur
ing sixty centuries Of recorded history
he hes blazed the trail Of progress and
b:.s had In his keeping the hope of tho
world for better things. =,
And In preserving that integrity in
Virginia there is no fight on the Ne
gro. Nowhere Is the Negro better under
stood. or more esteemed for his intriE
Sac worth. than here. 1t is no fault OF
his that he has become a problem. He
did not come to America of his own
free will. His importation was Tho ex-
preston OF greed on the part Of con-
sLr nceless trafrckers. 1t is to this
everlasting credit that his department
ul:ier trying conditions has been wei.
nigh exemplary. No one knows better
than he the cordial relations existing
b tween him and the white man of Viz
ginia.
Bu' with the Anglo-Saxon Clubs Of
America it is case Of preserving
Willie civilization, as Mr.. Powell Elk
plains in his article. Il is well-auther
t'cated fact that no race ever crossed
with the Negro race and main
tanned its civilization and culture. In
til: country that amalgamation is a
n, mace not only TO the white man but
81 the Negro as wei for only in keep
in4 pure the strain is there a guarau
tee Of fair and decent treatment for
the Negro msIf.
Tie articles by Mr.. Powell and Mr.
c ought to be given serious consider
a,ion by every thinking man and wG-
man in Virginia.
The Richmond Times Dispatclps con
illusions are all wrong. The only solu-
ton. from the standpoint Of either o.
these theorists is the removal of the
white ace from this country or the re
mOval of the black or amalgamated]
race from this cline. Hon. Marcus Gar
vey now in the Tombs- Prison. New
York advocates the latter plan. His
present location stbws just how favor
able his plan was considered. 1t is u
self evide..t fact that we must all re.
main here. Then. why this useless dis
cUssion? The amaIgamation laws are
upon the statute books of the southern

COLLECTOR PAYS $1,000
FOR RARE u. S. STAMP
First 1O-Cent Stamp of 1847
Had Been Cut in Two to Pay
Scent Postage.

A United States postage stamp, said
to be the only copy in existence, was
purchased for 1000 recently at an
auction sale held In New York. The
name of the buyer was not announced,
but it Is stated that he has one OF the
best collections of the United States
stamps in the country.
The rarity was horizontal half OF
the first 10-cent stamp issued by the
United States in 1847. A 5-cent stamp
was issued in the same year, but the
user of the stamp sold evidently had
no 5-cent stamps when he mailed his
letter from Baltimore, so he carefully
cut the 10-cent stamp in two pieces
and used one Of the halves to pay the
5-cent letter postage. The stamp was
on the original envelope. Had 1t not
been on the envelope the stamp would
probably not be recognized as genuine.
A few copies of the 1O-cent variety
have been cut vertically and diagonal
ly to serve for Scent postage and they
are valued from $500 to $3.50.
An inverted center copy Of the first
United States airplane stamp, "a
cents, crimson and blue, issued In
1918. sold for $515. 1t was unused, but
not perfectly centered. for 4-cent
Columbian issue, 1893, printed in blue,
the wrong color, Sill was paid. This
was slightly higher than the standard
catalogue price, but it was a superb
unused copy. An unused copy Of the
24-cent, 1860 issue, with wide margins,
sold for 1925. An imperforate copy Of
the Accent brown, 1902 issue, but with
oblong perforations at the sides pri-
vately applied for machine use, sold
for $93. Only "a copies of this odd
variety are known.
Among the. foreign stamps which
brought high prices was Bulgarian
the 5-stotrick, rose print
ed in the color Of the 10-stotrick, which
sold for SOL, and the same price was
paid for a 15-centime French stamp, /
in the rare blue green shade |

collection of Netherlands stamps COW
ering the years from 1852 to 1867, in
