The bill segregating the races at
Hampton Institute became law with
out the signature of Governor Harry
Flood Byrd. There was never any
valid excuse for this measure and and
was plain case of spite-work on the
part of fe wwhite people at New
port News, Va. Just why these same
white people should want to force
themselves in Negro school and then
dictate to the officials in charge of
the same is as bad case of boorish-
ness and ill manners as has ever been
witnessed in this Commonwealth.
1t can do no good and it may do
much harm. The only proper way to
meet the situation is to do as some
of these white folks are doing and that
is to deny white folks admission tc
their auditoriums. Then there can be
DO danger of being hauled into court
for violating the law or of being
charged with making an effort to null
lily it. Colored folks do not attent

of the University of Virginia or meet

Won Approval

At its conclusion, he had won prac-
ticaliy the admiration and approval
OF that vast concourse of people, who
thronged the auditorium of the Sec.
ond Baptist Church. Then came the
aftermath. Master of Ceremonies
William II. Stokes, announced hat
short addresses, not exceeding five
minutes would then be made. He
would not interrupt any of the speak
ers, who exceeded the limit, he would
stand when the limit expired He
kept his word, too. He was no re-
specter of persons, either as to sex,
age, prominence or condition. When
the time was out, he stood up and no
speaker had the temerity to continue
speaking when this impressive divine
arose and looked at him.
The List of Speakers
The list comprised Rev. j. E. Foun-
tain, Rev. George E. Read, ID. d.,
President w. j. Clark, Rev. ID. j.
Fletcher, Rev. H. r. Williams, Mrs.
NJ. r. Johnson, Rev. j. H. Randolph,
Washington, d. c., Rev. f. C. Smith,
Master of Ceremonies, and the people
were evidently tired at this point, so

citation. Then followed list of tele-
grams and condolences, which were an
nounced by Attorney James T. Carter,
all of which he had not finished COM
piling. One was from Mrs. Maggie
l.. Walker, who was reported to be re.
operating at Hot Springs, Ark, and
who was not then in a condition to
make the long trip after being under
treatment.
Routing of Procession
Funeral Director Frank H. Hayes
took charge. AS the procession left
the church, over across the street Pho.
tographer Dickerson had his camera
in position to SNAP" the scene. The
interment was in Evergreen Gene
terry and the floral blanket was inter
red with the remains. The Traffic De
partment routed the remains up Sec
ond Street, down Cary Street to avoit
congestion of traffic. AS result
many persons, who had expected t.
see the funeral procession to pas
were disappointed. Thus ended tn,
career of one of the. most picturesque
able, forceful characters, the Baptis
denomination has ever produced.

Compared With Moses

He discussed Moses as the sleeping
saint and the leading Of disobedient
pepole. He told of Moses shifting the
rock with the admonition, "Drink. We
rebels" He spoke of his going upon
the mountain of conflict, his pulling
against opposition and his carrying
out the injunction to see to it that the
law was executed. 1t is impossible to
picture the effect of this remarkable
discourse. 1t was a mastery effort;
skilfully handled. No canoeist more
skillfully handled boat and guided

dexterity, avoiding the rocks and the

lengthy and the following extract
from ;he same may prove to be OF
