Henry Ford may be of the "aces" in the auto game but we don't think he is hot as peace mis- slonary or as the final word in the dry law hearings under way at Washington He refers twice to the sane people of the nation desiring repeal or dangerous modification. We know of few millions of Americans who do want some sort of change from the present "nutty' system so assume there are just that many more besides poor self, who should be in the nut factory"

Richmond Prof. Steps On DR.. Barbour'S
ToeS-He's Somewhat Sore About It!
q. HENRY JAMES)

regards to DR.. Notions address-real
eve-ouening. Thousands Of people
read his article with intense inter-
est. And many are thinking some
what from his point of view. Many
are tied up. Yea, Prof Pearson may
be a local chap, but ne IS certainly
wearing his thinking cap-and Mo-
ton knows it."
MIR. NEWTON: "You hush, Mis-
FER Common Sense might tell You
that any ordinary person can tie
Encts, but wise men loose them. Dr..
Barbour, in his article of November
n. 1880, made it very clear to the
READING PUBLIC that DR.. X. r.
Melton, principal of Tuskegee lnstl-
tute, is a devoted leader OF the
Negro race. His article pierced
Pearson like a two-edged sword,
cutting both ways"
AMPLIFIER: 81 don't think that
DR.. Barbour, (the Alamaba writer)
said very much to Prof. Pearson.
Suppose you see the publisher OF
the RICHMOND PLANET and ask
him to let you see a copy OF the
paper of November l, 1880; that
YOU may see exactly what Pearson
says. Nav, I don't think Barbour
said anything to Pearson much"
Mr.. NEWTON: 81 agree with you;
nav, Dr.. Barbour did not say so
MUCH, but what he did SAY, in few
words, was very, very WEIGHTY,
and right to the POINT. This Ala
bama writer said a lot to Prof
Pearson. His was brief, convincing,
pointed, magnetizing and didactic,
Let Prof. Pearson take notice and
govern himself accordingly"
AMPLIFIER: "Um, you think you
said something that time"
Mr.. NEWTON: "Nobe, l don't
think l said anything, but DR.. ]. Plus
Barbour, the Alabama writer, has
said it. When he saw what Prof.
C.. H. Pearson said concerning DR..
r. r. Notions address here at st.
Paul's Church; this Alabama writer,
takes it up Immediately. He turned
thriftily around to his desk-in his
revolving chair, craps up his philo-
sophical pen, taps Prof. Pearson on
his head and says to him, now, you
go on back ip that school-room and
hear Syour class; and stop NAG
GING DIR. NOTION, behave your
self. Te-hee."
MRS. NORCROSS: "These breth-
rem should not carry on this sort of
controversy. Where is their relig-
ion? Let Prof. Pearson and others
stop nagging DR.. Motion. If they
don't stop there will be still more
growing heard from Alabama.
They'll make it so hot for them
they'll feel like biting the dust"
AMPLIFIIER: "Good-bye; we
will talk about CHURCHES next

MR.. STEWARD NOTES AN ERROR
Richmond, Va.

Richmond, Va.
November II, 1880
Mr.. Roscoe C. Mitchell,
Editor of Richmond Planet:
l am writing to call your attention
to an error in your last weeks edi-
ton, because I believe The Richmond
Planet is covered with enough mer-
tied glory, not to accept any which
nav he MISPLACED upon it.
In DR.. Ransome's article, he states
that the Planet was the first colored
weekly published in Richmond. This
is in error. Previous to it, my faith
er, the late o. M. Steward, in associa
ton with P. H. Voolfolk, published
the Virginia Star. This paper was
published from 1875 to about the
time of the Planets appearance.
He had formerly taught school,
having among his pupils the pre-
sent Mrs. Maggie l.. Walker, Mr.. w.
II. Walton and YOUR illustrious I'M
cit, John Mitchell, Jr. There were
others and l think any of them now
1ivin~ viii tell you that his aim was
not simply to teach but to inspire. !

Highlights Of DR.. Hancock's Sermon
Last Sunday
(By Everett C. White)

"Neither heat nor cold nor rain nor
gloom Of night hinders the couriers
from the swift completion o ftheir
appointed rounds" Herodotus. So
must it be with men and women
struggling with adversely. Just a
slap on the back means only God a.
tell. Somebody who died might have
lived and some who live might have
died. The slap made the difference.
The difference between life and
death, success or failure, smiles and
frowns is a matter of this slap.
SOLD AGE-The old are disabled
soldiers in the battle of life. They
have waged their fight and they
have held the ramparts until we
could bring up reinforcements. Thsir
hoary heads and dropping forms
are marks left by the armies Of
time.
Nor the years draw nigh when
thou shalt say | have no pleasure in
them; while the sun Or the moor or
the stars or the light be not darken-
Cd. rcr the clouds return after the
rain.
The most pathetic and inspiring
incident was that o ia little fellow
weeping owe ribs mothers grave beg
ging his little WEEPING siste: not to
cry. Tears trying to strengthen The
fearful. Negroes need this slap on
the back from everybody and - pee
tally from Negroes. Negr, business,
Negro youth, Negro enterprise, Ne
gro professionals, Negro churches,
| Negro fra&. mites. Lille Paul we are
about to be torn to pieces and a slap
on the tack is in order. "Be # god
cheer"
Only those whom the Lord stands
! Lv need expect the slap on the back
Of the Master.
Hear DR.. Hancock next Sunday

Diminutive, beautiful Miss Harriet

coming game announced as the win
ner OF the miss Union" Popularity
contest. hat evening at the Elks re-
treat, amid the flowing plans and
as gay dancers waltzed to the mel
low tunes, under dim maroon and
steele lights, Miss Wilson was Of
ficially crowned, "Miss Union" for
the year 19S0-31.
Miss jeanette Latham was official
ly announced a runner-up as the
hall rang clear and loud with hearty
applause for both of these success
full contestants, gay cheers from 750
Union and State merrimakers.
Miss Wilson, a popular young de-
butante of Richmond, is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Percy Wilson
of 410 w. Clay Street.
Miss Wilson, a well-known coed
Of Union, when interviewed at home
by a reporter was dressed in a
charming outfit of green with shoes
Oh black trimmed with lizard and
neutral stockings. Five foot, six
inches in height, this young Miss is
neither blonde nor brunette, but is
sort of a mixture of golden brown,
with lovable brown eyes. Her ambi-
ton is to go on the stage, Broad
way and the bright lights in a few
years-perhaps, to take the place of
Ethel Barrymore. She was found
reading the magazine, Theatre"
The favorite pastimes as told are
dancing and driving in the country
side. This little grille has a voice
of charming proportions with a lit
tie note of Indifference; an indif-
ference that grips and holds one,
mats you want to listen to her speak
always.
She doesn't deny that no little a
mount of her success belongs to Mr..
Robert Cooley, her business mana
ger.
The crown was presented to her
at the danct by Mr.. Richard Keller.

saw where Prof. C. H. Pearson, OF

mond, Va, comes back at DR.. X. H.
Motion, Principal of Tuskegee lnsn-
tute, who addrest an appreciative au-
dience at SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH,
here a few days ago. Prof. Pearson
criticized DR.. Notions address Sc
yarely. And DR.. ]. Plus Barbour,
one of Alabama's noted writer's gets
sore about it and Games back at
Prof. Pearson strong. This Alabama
writer saws that Pearson Is SIMPLY
trying to nag Motion. That the Pfol.
thinks that DR.. Motion doesn't haVe
much devotion for his race. What do
you think about it?"
AMPLIFIER: ITO be frank with
YOU, / believe that DR.. Motion has
the Negro race greatly at heart; l
certainly do"
MRS. NORCROSS: "Why saw
that article, it was printed in The
Planet. l am well acquainted with
Rev. Prof. Pearson. He's u own,
but we didn't know that he would at
tempt to bait and flash at Doctor
Notion Did you Ampie?"
AMPLIFIER: Eyes, why not?
Pearson is one of our competent
young men of the State. Of course
ne has a right to express his opin-
ion on matters of vital Importance"
MR.. NEWTON: "Mrs Norcross,
you were going to say something d
moment ago. What was it?"
MRS. NORCRoSS: ~ say, I think
very little of DR.. Barbour, that Ala
bama writer, for the uncompliment-
ary things which he said to our own,
Rev. C.. II. Pearson, Of Virginia I'm
ion University. If Prof. Pearson did
come back, DR.. Barbour of Alabama
had not right to do so Let him
read this Biblical saying which goes
somewhat like this: If thine enemy
smote thee on the right cheek, turn
We the other side"
MR.. NEWTON: "Yea, but this
Alabama writer finds another Bibli-
cal saying which reads somewhat
like this: Whatsoever thy hands
fndeth to do, do it with all thy
might Altho, he was very light
ON Prof. Pearson. His article was
timely, as well as searching. His
reply to this Richmond Prof. was
short enough to attract his attention
