luton of the A. M. E. Sunday School.

participants are to be chosen from
the Convention to demonstrate the
possibilities that lie about us.
Mrs. Bertha Lewis Kings appear
ance is labeled, "a Glimpse Into the
Primary" Her training in primary
methods and child psychology added
to her gift as teacher and her de-
votion, give her great power and au-
thority.
Every person who appears upon
the program has been invited because
of special fitness.
All sessions are open to the pub
lie. Many distinguished out-of-town
guests are expected.
Rt. Rev. A. L. Gaines is the Bishop

fit to transfer Rev. James S. Hatcher
to Mount Zion A. M. E. Church, the
congregation from which he came to
Richmond just about three and one
half years ago. Rev. w. R. Howerton,
DID,, whom he succeeded was trans
ferred from the Mt. Zion A. M. E.
Church at Roanoke to the ST. Paul's
A. M. E. Church at Newport News,
Va.
1t produced something of a sensa-
ton among the friends of the pastor
here, as neither he nor his family had
any inkling that such transfer would
be made. Rev. w. E. Spratley, one
of the best known divines in this
state, who was in charge of the Mac.
edonia A. M. E. Church at Suffolk,
Va, was named to succeed him here
and he was on hand last Sunday, al.
though Rev. DR.. Hatcher conducted
services in the morning. Rev. D. F.
Gladner succeeded Rev. Spratley. One
of the leading officials Of the church
informed the Planets representative
that the Church stood solidly behind
the new appointee and would give him
full support. Rev. DR.. Hatcher left
Thursday to take charge at Roanoke.

James T. Carter, Jr., is corpse.
His remains were at 515 st. James
st. it is a heartrending story. He
was the only son of Attorney James
T. Carter and his Madame. He had
been a star pupil at the Virginia
Union University and it was in a
football game of the University team
that a chance blow resulted in a rup-
ture in the right groin. He decided
to enter the Law Department of the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
1t was during vacation that he sought
a job in the Pennsylvania Station,
New York, in order to relieve the n
nancial strain upon his parents. This
brought attention to his old trouble
and after an examination and treat
ment by four or five physicians, DR..
Percy Mundin being one of them, 1t
was deemed wise that he undergo a
minor operation for hernia.
He was found to be in perfect con-
dition physically and the operation
was performed When he left the
OF rating table, life had fled. His
frantic mother, who was herself at
tending Columbia University, was IN
formed of his death, Saturday morn
ing August 9Th. 1t came as thun-
derbolt from a clear sky. He was the
only child and had but one more year

August 10th, with the brilliant Rev
DIR. w. T. johnson, officiating, con-
! cluded the scene in this impressive
drama. With the lowering of the
casket a mound of beautiful flowers
in profusion ends the career of young
James T. Carter, Jr., who essayed to
exceed the achievements OF his DIS
tinguished father. This closes the
chapter and brings to sad term!na'
zion the hopes, aspirations and achieve
ments of one, who had to bow to the
Monster Death, who "holds the keys
TO all the creeds.'
