Dec. to ,-(C N S i-J o h n Mitchell, J r , pioneer editor and pub lisher o f the Richmond Planet for 46 yrars, died Tuesday at his home in this city at the age o f 66 years. He was born in Henrico County, Virginia, the son o f John and Rebeca Mitchell. He attended the Richmond Normal and Hi school. He taught there for several years. Isn’t it curious that when one be com es interested in a certain m o v e ment. bow one runs across items o f similar import. Last week I told you about the educational experiment b e ing carried in on Arkansas. This week, a neighbor brought in a new s paper published weekly by the Llano Cooperative C olon y located in N ew - land. La. T he description of the colon y and its life reads like a dream in de m ocracy. The colon y owns 7000 acres o f land and has nearly a hundred buildings. This includes iactories. warehouses, schoolbuildings, etc. It is self-supporting It is operated on a non-profit basis— no wages—no taxes, no jails, no police, no mayor, and no lawyers. Y ou never would find a law yer in such a community. Jails, police and lawyers are synonymous. In l**:i he founded the Richmond Planet which hr published cotltinously until his death. With a group o f asso ciates and a capital o f $ 16 , 000 , lie o r ganized the Mechanics Bank which in j t'J'-xi had asets valued at $672,000.
