TO BE SOME NEW FACES IN NEXT LEGISLATURE VOLUME VII. TO BE SCO IN NI LIST OF MEMBERS WHO WILL COMPOSE THE NEXT LEG- ISLATURE THE OLD AND THE NEW Whims of Voter Exhibit ed To Greater Extent in House Than Elsewhere Returns from the several counties of the State show there will be many new faces in the next State legislature. Some of the oldest members have been replaced by new men. Unless the official count in Nicholas county reverses the result, P C. Hinkle has defeated Lewis Williams for membership in the House of Delegates, and this gives the Republicans a majority of 52 on joint ballot. While the official canvasses have never been received at the office of the Secretary of State at this time, the returns from the several counties show the Republicans have 24 members of the State Senate and the Democrats 6. In the lower house the Republicans have elected 60 members and the Democrats 26. In the House of. Delegates the Democrats gained two members in Marlon county, one in Barbour, two in Berkeley, and one in Hancock. The Republicans also showed their gaining proclivities and elected members of the houses in Boone, Clay, Lincoln, Nicholas, Poontanas and Taylor. Septimius Hall, of Wetzel county, is the only one of the old guard of Democracy returned and it is probable that he will be the floor leader of the minority party at the coming session, taking the place of C. M. Wetzel, who was defeated by J. P. Kearfott for the nomination. A. E. Kenney is another of the old Democratic guard left at home. The members and addresses of the next legislature, according to the unofficial returns received from the several counties, are as follows: State Senate First District—Robert Hazlett, Wheeling; Henry Zilliken, Wells- burg.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 5. — Today in the United States circuit court, Judge Goff handed down an opinion in the case of John W. Brickhouse, a Negro, agristant C. T. Brooks and Wm. Jesup, election judges of Norfolk county, in which the validity of the new Virginia constitution was attacked on account of the failure of the members of the constitutional convention to take an oath to uphold the federal constitution. Brickhouse contended that the old constitution stood, and, therefore, he has been illegally deprived of his right to vote. The court held taht Brickhouse's contention was without merit, and that as the new constitution had been declared valid by the legislature and the governor of Virginia, it was in fact the constitution of Virginia. The Loyal Union was entertained, Monday night, by Miss Jane Johnson, at the home of Mrs. Johnson, on Lewis street. GARNETT GARNETT SETTLE AN OLD SCORE WITH SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL. In a Flerce Contest on the Gridiron Here, Saturday, Local Boys Made Two Touch Downs and Win from the Third City, by a Decisive Score. In the presence of, or, to be more exact, in the midst of, over and under a large crowd—for it was not possible to keep the field clear—the boys of Sumner High School, Parkersburg, and Garnett High School, this city, played as fierce a game of football as has been seen here this season. The teams were evenly matched as to weight, and neither surpassed the other in speed and endurance. The result was that every inch of the ground was hotly contested, the boys giving an exhibition well worth seeing. With only a minute and a half to play, Charleston's full dropped back for a kick, fumbled, and regaining possession of the ball made a touchdown from the center of the field. It is only fair to the Sumner boys to state that but for the crowd, which seriously interfered with both sides, the probabilities are that neither side would have scored the first half. As it was, Garnett was credited with five points, having failed in their try at goal. The second half was, even more strenuous than the first, Parkersburg endeavoring to tie the score and Charleston to add to their lead. The feature of this half was the tackling of Johnson, the Sumner right end, which was commented upon very favorably by those present who know the game. Parkersburg made a change in its line, substituting Elfgerald for Lee, while Charleston placed 'Wilcher at quarter, relieving Fulks, that both might have a chance to play. After 15 minutes of play the ball was given to James, who broke through Sumner's stone wall and, having made one of those long runs which usually throw the spectators into a frenzy, placed the ball squarely between the goal posts. The game practically ended here, the score being, Garnett, 11; Sumner, 0. The victory is especially pleasing to the local boys because of the defeat which they suffered at the hands of Parkersburg last year. The line-up was: Garnett—Davis, r. e.; Wright, r. t.; Chandler, r. g.; Anderson, c; Burks, l. g.; Hicks, l. t.; James, l. e; Fulks and Wilcher, q.; Neal, r. h; Davis, l. h.; Payne, f. Sumner—Johnson, r. e.; C. Tuck- Grant, r. g.; Ogden, c.; Carr, l. g.; Dodd, l. t.; Washington, l. e; Carter, q.; J. Tucker, r. h.; Lee and Fitzgerald, l. h.; Hayes, f. Officials—W. H. Burke, reference; Bernard Burton, umpire; Harry Monts and M. T. Obie, linesmen; H. D. Hazdwood and Luther Jefferson, timekeepers. The Parkersburg team was accompanied by H. D. Hazdwood, assistant principal of summer High School, and W. E. Tucker, coach. The Charleston team was coached by Gay Brown. The colored troops fought nobly. In the Charletson precincts having a large Negro vote little or no scratching was done, the voters having the clerks to mark for them a straight Republican ticket openly. Ohio, Wood and several other counties in the northern part of the State, which usually go Republican, turned this time. Why? Their Negro population is almost a negligible quantity. It would appear that the corruption fund raised by the brewers and whisky men got in its work against Mr. Glassecock. Democratic money would not spend in Charleston on election day, unless white men took it. At Nearman's store, the Axe factory, Gardner's store, Garnett school, and, in fact, every place where over 25 Negroes voted, they had assembled before 6 o'clock, and it was a race as to who should cast the next ballot. So determined were the Negroes to vote and vote early that an arrangement had to be entered into at several places to allow members of the two races to vote alternately. At Gardner's store, 60 black votes had been cast before 13 whites were able to get near the polls. At the Axe factory, the cheap voters were in line before sum rife and all but three had voted before 9 o'clock. Eighteen meetings in Charleston and 16 in other places in the county was the record of the Kanawha County Campaign committee the week preceding the election. They furnished speakers for 72 meetings in three weeks and sent out hundreds of packages of literature and furnished the Advocate to every voter who could be reached. The precinct captains of Charleston, as well as those elsewhere in the county, deserve special mention for the part they contributed to the magnificent victory. Nor should the workers who assisted them be overlooked. Each man did more than was expected" of him. The poll workers in Charleston were: First Ward—Frank Boyle, captain; Eugene Lucas; C. P. Lucas, Willard Banks; John A. Thompson, Lee Beckett. Court House—Will Wright, captain; Chas. Stephenson, C. H. Boyd. Rust Building—Ed Washington, captain; Tyler Jones, Chas. Walker, Harry Lewis, Noah Pearson, William Jefferson. City Hall—Levi Campbell, captain; Spencer Hayden, King Jackson, Dan Wade. Nearman's Store—John A. Brown, captain; S. D. Cowner, Sherman Storey, Chas. Brown, Enos Brown, Walter Lewis, Ed. Thompson, Frank Thomas, Frank Green, C. C. Lewis, William Dickinson. Simpson's Stable—Jas. A. Campbell, captain; Harvey Lowery, Al Smith. Elk Hotel—J. D. Johnson, captain; Henry Brown, Eddie Woods. Mercer School—S. S. Ragland, captain; Mack Spiller, Clarence Cunningham, John Erskine, Henry Miller, John Banks. Gardner's Store—G. W. Harris, captain; Edgar Mason, Elijah Alexander, Sam Mack, Jasper Elliott, Joe Kent, Henry Mitchell, Floyd Morris, George Hackley. Morris Store—J. H. Taylor, captain; Spencer Merritt, Miles Webb. Garnett School—H. B. Gleen, captain; Scott Wooster, George Brown, Charles Dunbar, Percy Wade, William Brown, J. A. Chambers, C. D. Webb, T. C. Thompson, Ben Walker, A. H. Hackley, William Huckley, Ninth Ward—G. W. Claire, captain; Brady Watkins, George Bailey, R. Harris. Fern Bank School—Top Hale, captain; James Woods, Lovelace tansberry, B. R. Starks. Returns from the outof-town presidents are all in and, like those in Charleston, show that where there was a large Negro vote, the Republican majorities were largest. For this credit is likely due to J. H. Brooks, captain, at Handley; J. E. Washington, captain, at Pratt; John Adams, captain, at Tomsburg; John H. Hughes, captain, at Lamont; C. H. Carter, captain, at South Carbon; B. C. Johnson, captain, at Warrior; R. C. Mcelver, captain, at Wevaco; Jos. Williams, captain, at Ward; George Nowling, captain, at Martin's School; J. G. Lovely, captain, at Malden; John Fields, captain, at Hugheston; Continued on page two. FIRST WOMAN BANKER IN AMERICA VISITS THE CITY. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, President of the St. Lukes Bank, and Grand Secretary of the Order, Discusses Location of a Business Here. The three local Councils of the Independent Order of St. Luke had with them in a joint meeting, at the K. of P. hall, last night, Mrs. Maggie Walker, president of their bank at Richmond, Va., and Grand Secretary of the Order. Mrs. Walker, who was the first woman of America to be placed at the head of a banking institution, and but recently divided honors with another woman of the white race, who occupies a similar position, is said to have visited the city with the intention of locating some industry or business for the employment of young colored girls, along the lines of the several institutions they maintain elsewhere. The meeting was not open to the public, but it is understood that Mrs. Walker was received with much enthusiasm by the large number of St. Luke's present, and that her talk was timely and is expected to be productive of much good in increasing the membership of the rapidly growing Councils located here. A light collation was served after the business session and an opportunity was afforded the members to shake Mrs. Walker's hand. She leaves today to visit the Councils at Huntington. COUNTY TEACHERS CONFERENCE POORLY ATTENDED. But Those Present Listened to Interesting Talks and Engaged in the Discussion of Subjects Introduced by Teachers of Experience; The first meeting of the Kanawha County Teachers Conference was held, Saturday morning, at ten o'clock, at Garnett school. The meeting was called to order by the president, C. W. Boyd, principal of Garnett school. The meeting opened with prayer and music, after which the secretary, Miss Hattle Peters, of Cedar Grove, read the minutes. Before proceeding with the program, a business session was held. The first subject, discussed was, "The Educational Advantage of Nature Study," by Prof. Austin W. Curtis, teacher of agriculture at the West Virginia Institute. Prof. Curtis gave an interesting talk on how to teach nature study, and gave many practical devices which may be used in the school room. Prof. S. H. Guss, principal of the normal department at Institute, also spoke. Prof. Byrd Prillerman, teacher of English in the West Virginia Institute, discussed the need of a better co-operation between parents and teachers, and gave a practical talk out of his personal experience. This subject was interesting, and was discussed by J. F. J. Clarke, George L. Cuzzens and I. C. Cabell with much enthusiasm. The question of the meeting of the State Teachers Association and the Teachers Association of Northern West Virginia on the same date was discussed. The Conference appointed committees to meet the State-body and the Northern Association. The attendance was very encouraging, and yet it was not what it should have been, when one considers the large number of teachers employed in this county. Those who came, however, were teachers of experience, and what was lacking in quantity was fully made up in quality. The Kanawa county teachers are to be congratulated on the attendance and the amount of interest they were able to create. The teachers present from the various parts of the State were: Prof. S. H. Guss, principal of the normal department of West Virginia Institute; Profs. Byrd Prillerman and A. M. Curtis, of Institute; Misses Amelia McDaniel, of Ward; Hattle C. Peters, of, Cedar Grove, and Mary J. Jones, of Malden. Among the city teachers present were: C. W. Boyd, J. F. J. Clarke, George L. Cuzzens, H. B. Rice, L. C. Farrar, I. C. Cabell, F. D. Cambrel, Misses L. O. Hopkits, Naola Farrar, Nina H. Clinton, Rhoda A. Wilson, Stella James, Amy Hutchinson, Artists Johnson, Lillian Taylor, M. Blanche Jeffries and F. C. Cobb. The following program will be rendered at the next meeting: Primary Reading, Miss L. O. Hopkins. Most Practical Method for Teaching Geography, Miss Amelia McDaniel, of Ward. How to Teach the Correct Idea of Numbers, Miss Cobb. Nature Study in the School, Prof. S. H. Guss. How to Prevent Talking in the School, Miss N. H. Clinton and G. L. Cuzzens. The Conference was indebted to G. L. Cuzzens and Miss L. O. Hopkins for the excellent music rendered. John Williams, Oberlin, Ohio, has one of the finest and largest book stores in the State. He supplies the students at Oberlin College. The Negroes of Louisville, Ky., recently opened a theater, owned and controlled by themselves. The seating capacity is about 600. The Southern Realty Co., of Louisville, Ky., organized last month, with J. W. Williams as manager, have found it necessary to enlarge their apartments, owing to a great rush of business, which is not confined to the city alone. There was opened in Greensboro, N. C., in October, a branch store for the sale of different kinds of teas, coffees and spices. This is one of the results of the influence of the Business League recently organized there. John Mitchell, Jr., attended last month the National Convention of American Bankers' Association at Denver, Colorado. Mr. Mitchell is the only colored member of the association. He is president of the Nickle avings Bank, Richmond, a., but is better known as the editor of The Planet, one of the Negroes' best journals. There is a little town situated in the northeast corner of St. Clair county, Illinois, within a half hour's ride of St. Louis, Mo., which is prosperous and growing populated almost entirely by Negroes and governed solely by members of the race. There are a few whites who have habitation in the place, and who live in evident harmony and peace with their colored brothers, but have no voice in the municipal government, other than to vote once a year for the colored leaders. The name of this town is Brooklyn, with a growing population of 1900, who are intelligent, law-abiding, thrifty and manifestly proud of their achievements. There are two principal streets, lined with well kept stores, owned by prosperous Negroes. The town, covering an area of two miles square, is laid off in blocks that are filled with little Houses provided with lawns and gardens. The streets are graded and the side walks before every building are maintained at public expense. The chief structure, costing $5,000, is the city hall that serves for many purposes. The water supply is adequate, hydrants are plentiful, and there has never been a serious loss of property from fire within the recent history of the town. Brooklyn is only a few miles from the great national stock yards, East St. Louis, Mo., where the inhabitants and profitable employment, while building up their community to greater proportions. DEALING WITH PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO. Side by side with exterminating rats and locating and cleaning the sources of infection ran the caring for those who had contracted the disease. No proper place for treating them existed. The old pest house was itself a monstrous culture of germs. Luckily it was burned to the ground, and an isolation hospital of the most improved type erected along lines suggested by Dr. Blue. This new hospital has been built to be kept perfectly clean of all possible infection. In addition, a sheet-iron fence six feet high entirely isolates the hospital, so that nothing can get either in or out except by the gates, which are "tight." This fence is interesting in that to make it perfectly "tight" it is sunken two and one-half feet into the ground and rests upon a concrete founadition, while its top is turned over to make it unscalable by smaller animals. Here trained nurses and skilled physicians give patients the best of care. At no time after the federal authorities took hold of the situation was there hitor-miss work, for every case was worked down scientifically by experts. Why, to ascertain beyond any doubt, three special inspectors of the dead were appointed, and not a single burial took place unless the body had been viewed, the exact cause of death definitely ascertained, and an official permit issued. Everything was accurate. It is accurately known that up to January 20, 1908, when pestilence last attacked humans, and when the control of the epidemic became absolute, there had been 159 cases of plague, and of these but 77 succumbed. It was competent treatment alone which kept, the mortality down. During a nearly similar period, in the Punjab, 309,074 had succumbed out of 342,217 cases of the plague. The salient point is that when the death rate among victims of this disease was 90.60 per cent. in India, it was only 48.42 per cent. in San Francisco.—From "San Francisco's Plague War," by Augustin C. Keene, in the American Review of Reviews for November. BIRD SLAUGHTER Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee have the undesirable distinction of being the only states in the Union in which the slaughter of robins is permitted by law, and recent investigations show that not less than 9,000,000 robins are killed by some 20,000 pothunters in these three states during the winter months. Patient investigations by ornithologists has proved that a robin in a year earns $1 in the destruction of insects injurious to crops. The pothunters sell them for 5 cents a dozen. This wanton waste of millions of dollars is something which should appeal to the hard, common sense of every Southern farmer. In an investigation of this deplorable bird slaughter, a writer in Recreation brings a sweeping indictment against the sportsmen of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, declaring that they are responsible for the lack of legislation for protection of the robin. It is asserted that as a class they have for years opposed the enactment of laws putting robins on the forbidden list, on the ground that if the shooting of these birds were made unlawful the negroes and other pothunters would soqn wipe out the quail. It is a filmsy argument at the best, and will not stand the test of analysis.—Washington Post. Washington, Nov. 9.—In deciding the case of Berea College vs. the State of Kentucky favorably to the State, the United States Supreme Court today held that the States of the Union may legislate constitutionally to prevent the co-education of the white and black races. The case was instituted to test the validity of the State law of 1904 prohibiting white and black children from attending the same school. The higher State courts took the position that white and black races are naturally antagonistic, and that the enforced separation of the children of the two is in the line of the preservation of the peace. The opinion of the Supreme Court was handed down by Justice Brewer, and affirmed the finding of both the Kentucky Circuit Court and the Court of Appeals. Justices aHrlan and Day dissented. Justice Brewer's opinion dealt entirely with corporations as affected by the Kentucky statute, and did not consider the question of its application to individuals. Proceeding upon the theory tait a State has complete control over corporations as its own creations, he then construed the law of 1904 as in effect an amendment to the charter of Berea College, and added: Subject to Limitations. "It is undoubtedly true that the reserved power to alter or amend a subject to some limitations, and that under the guise of an amendment a new contract may not always be enforced under the corporation or the stockholders; but it is settled that a power reserved to the Legislature to alter, amend or repeal a charter authorities it to make any alteration or addition to a charter granted subject to it which will not defeat substantially impair the object of the grant or any rights vested under it, and which" the Legislature may deem necessary to secure either that object or any public right. "We need concern ourselves only with the inquiry whether the first section of the Kentucky law can be upheld as coming within the power of a State over its own corporations. We are of opinion that it does come within that power." Responding to some of Justice Harlan's strictures, Justice Brewer said: "There is no force in the suggestion that the statute, although clearly separable, must stand or fall as an entirety on the ground that the Legislature of Kentucky desired to separate the teaching of white and colored children may be conceded, but it by no means follows that it would not have enforced the separation so far as it could do so, even though it could not make it effective under all circumstances. Uniform Action Wanted. "In other words, it is not at all unreasonable to believe that the Legislature, although advised beforehand of the constitutional question, might have prohibited all organizations and corporations under its control from teaching white and colored children together, and thus made at least uniform official action." Contending that it would prove impracticable and unsatisfactory to separate corporate from private schools, Justice Harlan, in his dissenting opinion, said the court should meet the entire question and decide whether it is a crime under any conditions to educate white children and Negro children at the same institution. He did not concede that it should be so regarded. "Have we," he asked, "become so inoculated with prejudice of race that an American government, professedly based on the principles of freedom and charged-with the protection of all citizens alike, can make distinctions between such citizens in the matter of their voluntary association for innocent purposes simply because of their respective races? Other Questions Involved. "Further, if the lower court be right, then a State may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested. Many other illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question and how inconsistent such legislation is with the great principle of the equality of cit- Continued on page two. ```markdown ``` PARKERSBURG Mr. and Mrs. J.

At 8:30 the melodious strums of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by little Miss Revell Eudosia Hughes, who was attired in chiffon, trimmed in lace and ribbon, over white silk, announced the beginning of the ceremonies. Rev. Thurston took his stand at the altar to await the approach of the bridal party. The first to appear were the ushers, Messrs. George W. Winston, Otis Woodson, Henry McClain and Albert Lewis, in evening dress, taking their places on either side of the altar. Then came little Miss Ouida Barnett, a cousin of Mrs. Sexton, dressed in white alpine cloth, trimmed with fletl lace, carrying a basket of white carnations, on which rested the marriage certificate. Following her came little Miss Burrin Winston, gowned in white organdie, trimmed in lace, bearing a beautiful pillow for prayer. Every eye was turned toward the bride-elect as she slowly glided down the alise, attired in white silk, trimmed in duchess lace, carrying a huge bouquet of white bridal roses. Her simplicity and manner added much to her grace and beauty. She was met at the altar by the groom-elect, who entered from the anteroom in the rear of the pulpit. The groom was attired in full evening dress. After the ceremony, the invited guests retired to the residence of the bride, where they were served with a delicious repast. The scheme of colors was white and green. The presents were numerous and costly. The bride and groom left Wednesday afternoon, on the 1:20 train, for their future home in Thomasville, Georgia. --- Thursday evening, at the Odd Fellows hall, were gathered the best citizens of the town to give honor to the chairman of the State Republican Auxiliary, J.

The campaign developed a number of craters who will be in line as national speakers the next campaign. J. M. Hazlewood, Dr. H. F. aGmble, and James A. Campbell hit some telling blows against Democracy. Then there were Henry Burke, Eddie Woods, Tom Hale, Sam Ragland, Rev. J. A. Taylor and a host of others, "who held them spellbound." T. G. Nutter, J. W. Chappelle, C. E. Kimbrough and E. R. Carter, our attorneys, did excellent work for the Republican party and the race. They visited every town on either side of the Kanawha in the county and discussed the issues. It will require an official count of the ballot to decide which did the most effective work. The Kanawha county campaign committee is receiving words of praise from all sides for its delivery of the goods on election day. Grant P. Hall says: "It was the best ever. The eagerness of the colored voters to register their protest against the discriminations proposed by the Democratic party showed that they had been thoroughly aroused to the dahger." "I congratulate you," said Attorney General. Conley, "on the splendid victory you helped to win in Kana-wha county. We could not have asked for more." Writing to the secretary of the committee, Judge Henry K. Black said: "Congratulations on the very large part yourself and associates had in making the victory a magnificent one all along the line." Prosecuting Attorney Avis: "Permit me to congratulate your excellent committee and race upon the splendid service rendered in the regent campaign. As can be seen from the result of the election, the work accomplished by your committee and race is beyond measure. In saying this, I voice the sentiment of every man who observed your good work. I sincerely trust that you all Beef, Veal, Mutton, Pork, Fresh Pork Sausage OUR OWN MAKE Try our machine sliced Hams and Bacon The best qualities in all the popular kinds of We want your patronage for we have complete stock in our lines and you an get it when you want it most will continue the great organization that you have made and that it will play an important and valuable part in all future elections." Sheriff-elect Smith: "I want to thank one and all for what each did to bring about the glorious victory. The fight was centered largely upon me and I am more than pleased with the result." The town has not yet stopped talking about Ralph White's great speech to the Negro rally at the wigwam the night before election. It was a rousing meeting and contributed much toward the result, Tuesday. The five o'clock prayer meeting at the First Baptist church on the morning of election day is another illustration of the serious interest the Negro people had in the outcome. Too much praise can not be given to Rev. J. W. Waters, pastor of Simpson M. E. church; Rev. W. E. Walker, of the St. Paul A. M. E. church, and Rev. S. R. Bullock, of the First Baptist church. Each impressed upon his congregation in special and regular meetings the necessity of voting early and voting straight. Among the stories of election day going the rounds not the least amusing and illustrative is this one: A Democratic poll worker saw two Negroes, whose votes he had purchased in former elections, approaching the polls. "Oh, Jim," he called, "come here a minute." Jim paid no attention. "Oh, Jim, come here, I want to tell you something." Jim and his companion turned back, but stopped about ten feet from the worker, not an inch further would they come. He showed them a roll of bills and suggested that they would lose nothing by voting for the Democratic county, nominees. "Gwan, man, youso one ob dem franchisers," wns what he got from Jim. "I ain't got no time to fool with you now. I'll see you after I votes." The glorious Republican victory will be celebrated. Friday afternoon, with a monster parade, in which all the bands of the city will participate. You are invited to take a part. RACES (Continued From Page One.) izens before the law." Justice Harlan added that he did not want to be understood as criticising the system of separate public schools for the races, but that his censure was directed at the penal provision of the Kentucky law involved in this case. He considered it unconstitutional. GRAND RAPIDS FURNITURE CO. WE HAVE Just Received our New Stock of Furniture, and would be pleased to have you call and let us show you through.

In 1914, we hope, with pardonable pride, that the appended editorial from the Charleston Dally Mall is republished in this column. The writer of the editorial in question is in the position to know, whereof he speaks and is very conservative in his utterances. In the election in Kanawah county last Tuesday practically every colored citizen cast his ballot for the success of the Republican party. In the election precincts in the city of Charleston the voting by the colored citizens began with the opening of the boots on the morning of the election, and proceeded without hesitation or intermission until every vote had been deposited in the ballot box. The very best behavior marked the conduct of these people. There was no disorder anywhere. The hordes of police stationed about the polls by being minded with friendly and clubs had absolutely nothing to do except to resent the eagerness of the voter to go into the voting booths. Otherwise they maintained the most perfect order, and seemed only imbued with a desire to exercise their privileges guaranteed to every citizen under the constitution. The returns of the election show that the colored voter cast his ballot for the straight Republican ticket. In the precincts where the vote for the Republican ticket was the heaviest there was the least scratching. The colored voter consumed the leas time in depositing his ballot, and all the candidates a solid phalanx in aid of the Republican organization in Kanawa county. The declaration of hostility to the colored people as a race by the Democratic party in West Virginia made this result possible, but it could not have been accomplished without intelligent and careful organization. In the beginning of the campaign the representative colored citizens of Kanswa county indicated to the leaders of the Republican organization that if entrusted with the duty of preparing their own people for the exercise of the right of franchise they would be responsible for the full vote intelligently cast. This important task was done and the leaders of the colored race were given the duty of organizing their people, placing the issues in the campaign before them, and in every way conducting the campaign so successfully waged. To prepare so large a contingent of the electorate for the exercise of the privilege of franchise was the work of the men placed at the helm. Work of this was done the returns are the best evidence. The willingness of the men be intelligently directed is a commendable feature of the canvas, and their splendid personal behavior during the contest and an election day is the source of gratification to all, but the fact remains that the leadership responsible for all this must stand out in prominence and be the subject of strong commendation. The Republican campaign committee the colored people was composed of the following well known citizens: J. M. Hazewood, chairman; J. C. Gilmour, secretary; J. M. Jones, Treasurer; Dr. H. C. Bumble, J. W. Viney't, G. Nutter, G. B. Kim brough, E. R. Carter, C. H. James, & M. Davis and J. W. Chappelle, executive committee. In addition to this splendid management, which resulted in the pollination practically solid vote for the Republican ticket there was contributed for the general benefit of the party a very substantial fund which was forwarded to the State committee by the local organization. So much accomplished in the first short at intelligent and effective operation would seem to justify the hope of future campaigns the colored leaders will be able to perpetuate the solidity of the following, and continue to be the factor shown in the result of Tuesday. WAR TO THE KNIFE. If your Democratic friends are cheering the hope that Charleston Nesodes feel satisfied with the victory of the 3rd and are disposed to let bygone the bygones. The Advocate takes very great pleasure in informing them that they have another guess coming. They topled, no Negro, outside the insane asylum, by their opposition to the Anti-Negro planks in the convention, for they all know that their actions were dictated by policy, not principle. We serve notice here and now that it is the intention of the black electorate to keep the fight up until every elective officer in the city of Charleston is a Republican. The scheme of arraying one Negro against another by intimating that he is a dupe to follow this or that colored man will work no longer. The most important among us sees that it is only the uniting our forces that there is any possibility of success, that the advancement of one worthy Negro reflects credit upon the whole. And furthermore there is a limit to everything, even the Negro's patience, and he reacts and will continue to resent the injuries which he has caused upon him by the very same whose elevation is due to his support All the Negro voters of Charleston ask, is that the Republican nominee for Mayor, be a man without fear and with port repose, one who may be depended upon to surround himself in all his appointments by clean men, and they may be depended upon to stand up as they had Tuesday, last week. They have been worked up to a vindictive mood by the utterances of Mr. Gallahar, Mr. Byrne and others of lesser note, and nothing will afford them more pleasure, than casting a ballot against anything Democratic. It is war to the knife and the knife to the bolt. ARTFUL DODGERS The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Berea College against the State-of-Kentucky, was so near what it was expected to be that it occasioned no surprise. Who ever knew that body of artful dodgers to meet squarely any issue in which the Negro was concerned? Not since the infamous decision of Justice Tayey has it been possible to present before them a case involving Negro rights which they did not sidestep by remanding, pleading no jurisdiction, improperly, presented or some other method better known, to those versed in the law than the writer. There is, however, one notable exception, one judge, who has consistently stood, up for the equality of citizens before the law, and it is rumored that he is soon to retire. When the time comes for Justice Harlan to lay aside the robe of office and to retire to private life, the Negro will lose his best, if not his only, friend at court. Time and again he has stood like a stone wall in opposition to those who would deprive the race of the little it has. When Justice Holmes was inducted into office, the black people of America, recalling the attitude of his father, hailed the son as the long-looked for reinforcement to the grand old man of Kentucky in his battle for the right. How grievously they were disappointed! In the very first case appearing before the court after his elevation he voted with the bourbon majority and a cry went up from the disappointed race: "How long, O Lord, how long." How long it will be before the Supreme Court will blind itself to the color of the appellant when, in direct violation of the constitution, he is deprived of his franchise rights, discriminated against as an interstate passenger, or held in peonage, the Lord alone knows. There may be some belief from the four appointees to fill the vacancies soon to be created, but the indications are against it. In the meantime, we shall abide by their one-sided decisions and hope for broader minded judges. A DEAD ISSUE. It is passing strange that in sending out his "Virginia and Temple Tax" statement, Mr. John Mitchell of Virginia should have overlooked the Supreme Representatives of the Pythian Order who live in Charleston, W. Va. If he were in the right in flatly refusing to obey the order of the Supreme Lodge, why did he take pains to prevent his defense from falling into the hands of those who are in position to know that he witheld one-half the truth and garbled the other half. He does not state, for reasons as weak as a spider's web, that he would not attend the first meeting of the Temple and Sanitarium commission of which he was a member. He admits, in effect, that he placed his judgment above the whole Supreme Lodge and nullified its action in the state of Virginia after he had solemnly sworn to obey his superiors. All that reference to himself, to what he has done for his people is simply a plea for sympathy, a plea usually made by the guilty as a last resort. In other words Mr. Mitchell is doing the baby act and he may be expected to stoop even lower in his desire to become Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. It is unfortunate that Mr. Mitchell is afflicted with such a severe attack of exaggerated ego and is so wrapped up in the States Right's theory. He does not recall, perhaps, that State Rights is a dead issue. It will be forcibly impressed upon him at Kansas City next summer. When the tumult and the shouting die and we have each tired of congratulating ourselves on the incalculably valuable factor we were in the general result, we may feel disposed, since there is more than enough glory to go around, to throw a few bouquets to the humble. Negro voter, who left his lowly home that frosty morning and stood shivering in the cold, for some two hours, that West Virginia might remain in the Republican column and that he might still be numbered among those who have the rights of citizenship. While it is true that virtue is its own reward and that no man is to be commended for doing what was so plainly his duty, there were circumstances surrounding this occasion. which were unusual in the extreme and might have intimidated those less determined to exercise their franchise rights than were our brethren in black. Taking the Newman's store polling place in this city as an illustration of what actually occurred at every voting place having any number of Negroes, there were on hand long before the polls opened from 8 to 16 special police and an equal number of deputy sheriffs, whose very presence presaged trouble. The word had gone forth that some attempt at intimidating the Negro voters would be made, but in spite of this overawing display of force on the part of the Democratic city and county officials, our men fell into line and all but shut out the white voters, so great was their eagerness to register their disapproval of the attempt to decitizenize them. They turned a deaf ear to the crafty suggestions of Mr. Stephenson's minions that they had nothing to lose by voting for Democratic officers and spurned with contempt the offer of bribes which more than coupled a half month's wages. Of the 1,050 Negro voters in Charleston, where 75 per cent. our Democratic friends boasted they would buy, it is safe to say that not 50 voted for a single Democrat on the ticket, not even excepting the nominee for sheriff, upon whom the Democratic ring centered its support. If there was any buying and selling of votes on election day, our people took no part in it. They were too busy awaiting their turn to vote to listen to bribers, too anxious to resent the insults heaped upon them by George Byrne to listen to the tempter's voice. They voted the straight Republican ticket, and to this fact is due the election of more than one Republican candidate. To these we say, as did the thief on the cross to Christ: "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Speaking of the Pythian Temple at New Orleans, owned by the Knights of Louisiana, and being constructed under the supervision of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, who is also Grand Chancellor of Louisiana, the New Orleans Daily Picayune says: "The Negro Knights of Pythias seven-story building, at Gravier and Saratoga, is getting well along towards completion, the exterior being now about closed in. It will be one of the handsomest buildings in the city." Mr. John Mitchell, of Virginia, banker, who thinks himself too big to associate with the Negro bankers and hangs around the white bankers, will please take notice. Commenting, a few days before the Mail expressed a desire to know what the Negroes think of Mr. Byrne. It has always been considered unfair to strike a man when he is down; for that reason we content ourselves with the abuse Mr. Byrne is now receiving from his fellow Democrats in Kanawha county, who opposed the Jim Crow planks as being bad policy. Not on principle, mind you. We congratulate our brethren in Missouri upon their escape from Jim Crowism and Disfranchisement. We are in position to appreciate the danger which threatened them, for we were up against the same proposition We have fought the fight and kept the faith, but we have not yet finished the course. The city government of Charleston is still in the hands of Democrats, but just wait till next March. "This, is," said George Byrne the day he succeeded in incorporating his anti-Negro planks in the Democratic platform; "the happiest day of my life." Wonder how he feels now. We would not add to the cares of the President-elect, but it would be rather decent of him to invite Mr. Bryan over some time after March 4th for a week-end at the White House. "We ask to know" whether November 3rd was election or ratification day. Ain't it a shame the Gazette had to call back to the coop the single column rooster? it displayed announcing the election of Col. Carr as justice of the peace in London district? Col. Carr has the heart-felt sympathy of The Advocate in his hour of bereavement. Since the eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, suppose we get busy with our line-up for the March election. It will be a harder nut to crack than the one we had last week. WHEREVER AND WHATSEVER. Eperante is an intellectual language designed by Louis Loménhot a French occultist, of Wimborne, Polish. It is an set for learning the inductive practice to his knowledge, is to be a second language he learned along side that mother language, for among people of differing species. Appearing in the year 1887, it met with little success, for ten years. Then under the patronage of Marquis Loula de Bessacont, it took sorrows hold on, France, supplying them to every nation, or the world. There are today in the world at least 1,000,000 Experantists, of whom 50,000 have registered in the manhattan's Address Book. There are 1,000 organized societies, officially registered in the manhattan's Address Book. There are 1,000 journalists in or about the language are published in every corner of the earth, including Peru, Roumania, Brazil, Algiers, Madagascar, Japan, Bohemia, and Chile, and on such subjects as science, medicine, religion, socialism, pacifism, humor, commerce, literature, Christian Endeavor and teaching. More than 2,000 books have adapted in the language, with translations from Shakespeare, Gonza, Schiller, Mollis, the Bible, and scientific works, besides not a few important original productions. The international language is officially recognized by the London Chamber of Commerce, the French Touring Club, College de France, the International Peace Congress, the United Societies of Christian Endeavor, and the Independent Order of Good Templars. Four international Esperanto congresses have been held to date, successfully in France, Switzerland, England and Germany. Each of those gatherings last a week and all business, (including propaganda of the language, questions of international interest and sectional meetings, for the furtherance of every branch of human activity), is conducted in Esperanto. At the last congress, held in Dresden, Germany, 1,800 delegates represented 35 countries of the world. The United States government was officially represented by Surgeon Major B. F. Straub, of Washington. One of the many interesting features of this congress was a play rendered in Esperanto, its 13 characters being represented by persons of 11 different nations, the principal role being played by a New York actress. The next World Congress of Esperanto will be held next August at Chauquiau N. Y., under the auspices of the Chauquiau Institution, whose curriculum now includes the international language. The permanence of Esperanto is assured, by the following considerations. 1. An international language is needed. To discuss this point would be to insult the intelligence of the reader. 2. An international language is possible. Its possibility and advantage have been demonstrated by the congresses referred to above. 3. Common sense guarantees and history demonstrates that, which is both needed and possible will some day be completely established. 4. No national language fills the bill. English, spoken by only 150,000,000, against a world population of a 1,500,000,000 is not universal. Every other national tongue is less so. International rivalry absolutely precludes the consideration of any natural tongue for the international role. The only practical language, which offends no one and has certain advantages of its own... These advantages are, first, ease of acquirement (Eperanto may be learned in three months); second, a more scientific medium—for being international in character, it answers better to international needs, than a national tongue that is designed to serve a single race. 5. Esperanto can have no artificial rivals. It has none at present, though there have been no less than 200 attempts in the last 200 years to introduce an international auxiliary language. Now that Esperanto has thoroughly entrenched itself in practice, the very idea of international language declares that there shall be but one such, and that future changes shall be introduced gradually into the particular language that has captured the field. These principles being bed-rock, we can readily see that Esperanto is simply an historical institution, just as the alphabet or printing. Any information concerning the international language will be cheerfully, furnished (on receipt of postage) by the West Virginia, Esperanto Association, Secretary Herbert M. Scott, 1312 Purdy avenue, Moundsville, W. Va. IN DARKEST AFRICA. There is jumping in the jungle. There is walling in the wild. There's despairing in the desert. There are pain and passion pled. The tiger's full of tantrums. And the lion loud lament. For the time is drawing nearer. For our Teddy's tour intense. There is mourning in the mountains. There is pleading on the plains. There's a droop in the tiger. There's a mock menace thunder. There's a trumpeting of terror. In most elephant stunt. There is anguished brute abandon Over Teddy's helfty hunt. There is trembling in the tropics. There is shaking on the sand. From the desert to the ocean There's lamenting in the land. Densely dismal is Dark Afric, Befalful belows every Brute. For they feel their fate is fearsome Since our Teddy's sure to shoot! Miss Kate Hawkins is indisposed. From the New York Times, a young man who are determined to build a livelihood had better look into the possibilities of public accounting. Private business firms need increasingly the services of certified accountants, who may obtain, their degrees from the State by passing examinations prescribed by the board of regents. They are needed do so over the books, develop, graduated methods and systems, and substitute therefore for more modern, and accurate business devices. As negotiations show these complexities become more insistent of untraining and reform. So likewise in municipal accounting, Mr. William H. Allen recently stated in the Journal, *Accountancy* that 1,000 efficient young men were wanted immediately to perform the well-paid duties of analyzing the business systems of cities. Comptroller Metas complained the other day that this city's bills and salary lists were not properly audited; that the system is bad, and we haven't enough men. Until we get enough men the city will continue to be cheated out of thousands of dollars every year. Mayor Hibbard, of Boston, undertook this week a radical reform in making up the annual budget for that city; his chief difficulty will lie in the dearth of efficient accountants. The cities of Lousville, Newark, New Rochelle, Holyoke—in fact, according to Mr. Allen, "over half the cities in the United States"—are now demanding expert leadership in business methods so as to prevent extratragance and fraud. The disposition that is manifest in all departments of public and private affairs to analyze improper and wasteful methods, and to supplant them is not the least hopeful sign of our times. In this work young men of ability will take an important part. A mole on the forehead shows ambition, wisdom, and ability in the management of affairs. A mole on the right cheek shows the person is greatly beloved and will acquire riches and honor. A mole on the right eye, a dullness of understanding; on the left, quickness of perception. A mole on the neck shows a man prudent in actions; on a woman, shows weakness in judgment, and ready to believe the worst of her husband. A mole on the shoulder denotes labor and poverty. magnify displacement A mole on the bank of the hand a propensity for other men's goods. MR. ROOT FOR- SENATOR: (New York Times.) In the nomination and election of Mr. Hughes as oGovernor, the people of the State of New York made a wise choice, the wisest that was in any way open to them. If the Legislature is guided by the light of wisdom it will elect Eilhu Root to the United States Senate to succeed Mr. Platt. The position, the interests, and the just pride of the Empire State demand the return to the ancient Senatorial tradition. We have late too often laid waste our privilege by sending to Washington men whose ability, influence, and authority were pitifully incommensurate with the dignity and the greatness of the State. We need statemanship in the Senate, the Legislature should choose the best man. It will be universally admitted that there is no Republican in New York who is Mr. Root's equal in respect for equipment for the office. He is fitted for it by distinguished ability, by long and varied experience in public affairs, and by great learning in the law. We are aware of the objection that will instantly be urged against Mr. Root. Men say he is a corporation lawyer. If those who insist that stringent laws shall be passed for the restraint of corporations were clear of sight and well advised, they would carelessly desire the election of Mr. Root. His acquaintance with corporation law and his knowledge of the affairs of corporations constitute a special attitude for the Senatorial service. It is feared that through the presence of such men in the Senate the laws might be shaped to impair old safeguards or confer new privileges? With the Senate as it now is, and for a long time will be constituted, and with such a man as Mr. Taft in the White House, that argument is not worth the making. Even if made, it would not have the slightest weight, with those who know the character and the public service of Mr. Root. We assume that those who seek for the people further protection against corporate abuses desire, not the destruction of corporations, but their regulation; not want interference with business, but reasonable control thereof. We assume that they desire, moreover, not statutory monstrosities but sound and enforceable laws. Have they not had warnings, enough? The Sherman Anti-Trust act of 1830 has been declared by President Roosevelt to be such a measure "that the business of the country cannot be conduct- of without breaking the law. The most important, realist is notion of law, but not instinctive. That notion is declared by Judge Lacombe, in order to be compulsory. Its consequence is on all sides condemned. One prominent birth tax law, hardly drafted by incompetent hands, would have been attractive to legislation universal, state and national, had it not been subjected to the challenges and the demands of the Senate. Senator nominee, perhaps the chief Constitutional lawyer of the Senate, has raised. Senator Perrenan, who whatever may have been interested ses and his errors, was awarded Constitutional lawyer, will it be expedient give way to some successor as yet unnamed. Senator Kohn, alone remains of that, trio who constituted the country's balk against ignorant reneges and revolutionary law-making. Perez haps, we hardly need say that one eminent Constitutional lawyer in the Senate is not enough. It is open to New York to supply an obviate and most serious defect in the composition of that body. The Legislature at all will act in the interest not only of the people of New York but of the people of the Union, if at the coming session it elects Mr. Root to the Senate. SMILE. If a fellow's weak and weary, If he's tired in the strife, If to him the pathway's dreary, And he's tired of this life; If perchance you know his trouble, Make him think life's still worth white. Do not make his sorrow double, Lift him with a cheerful smile. His tale may be one of sorrow. Perhaps grief weighs him down. Each long day is one of horror. Former friends weaken a crown. If to you he comes in sadness. A few moments to beginle. Greet him with a tone of Lift him with a cheerless smile. If a sinner is repenting. Fighting his soul to fire. His Judge may be relenting. Hope dies he cannot see. Listen to his earnest pleading. Lord, I'm wicked and defiled. Look! the dark clouds are receding. He is saved, for Christ has smiled. R. H. TARRER. Oak Hill, W. a.

Milton Ragland Case on Trial Milton Ragland, colored, who fourteen months ago last Sunday morning shot and wounded Dump Hill, another colored man, is on trial. His liberty before. Judge Black of the Kanawha Intermediate court and a jury of twelve men. The jury was seceded this morning and the trial commenced this afternoon. Ragland is defended by Judge W. W. Wertz and Geo. Byrne. Hill was shot by Ragland. It is alleged, after he was ordered, away from Ragland's house. The bullet struck Hill in the back and since the shooting he has never been able to walk a step and has virtually dwindled away. Ragland last September sought his freedom by the habeas corpus route before the supreme court of appeals of West Virginia, but his application for the writ was denied. There are a number of witnesses to be examined and the case is attracting much attention. COPIOUS RAINS END THE FIRES The steady rains of Tuesday and Wednesday and the heavy, downpour of Tuesday night have been effectual in the lifting of the massive clouds of wood smoke which had enveloped Charleston and every other town and city in the Kanawha Valley, since Sunday, resulting from the forest fires raging on the mountains on every side of Charleston. The rain has also prevented a spread of the fire in the mountains and those who have worked, unceasingly to save thousands of dollars worth of property which was in peril are now securing rest. The woods were burning on all sides of the city, Probably the greatest line of fire was up the Cheesapeake and Ohio railroad where the forests were in an almost continuous line of fire. Three Corps setting Up. Hendricks, W. Va., Nov. 11.—An undertaker entered the railway station at this place for the purpose of preparing the body of a dead man for burial. Upon his arrival he found the supposed corpse reclining on one arm very much alive. The man had been found at Laneyville, and was thought to be dead, and his body was put on a cot, and taken to Hendricks and left in the depot to be prepared for burial. Two. Shot: One With, "Empty" Tarleton, W. V., Nov. 11 — While out,unting with a party near here Charles Parsons was shot in the James S. Fisher, of this place, was accidentally shot by John Gibbon, playfully took a revolver from a mail on a wall and snapped it at Fisher, sending a bullet into Fisher's shoulder. Gibbon thought the weapon was empty. Matches, Claim Ancestor, Child. Cumberland, Md., Nov. 11. - Violet O'Bella, aged about, five years, oldest daughter of George Moyle of Partingtonville, Mistlethorn County, was burned to death when playing with matches with a younger sister in the yard at their home. Woman Attempts Suicide Springfield, W. Va. Nov. 11.—Mrs. Garrett Monroe, residing with her aged husband, in Hampshire County, near here, attempted suicide hacking her throat with a razor. The act is attributed to temporary insignity. She was unconscious from the loss of blood, but there are hopes for her recovery. Died Aged 84. Barneaville, W. Va. Nov. 11.—William Meredith, father of Judge Winfield Scott Meredith, who was elected a Republican State senator from the Eleventh West, Virginia district last Tuesday, died aged 84. He was engaged in the manufacture of lumber, and conducted a large farm. He and Mrs. Meredith recently celebrated their sixty-third wedding anniversary. Rev. Thomas Meredith, of Wheeling, and Rev. Clinton B. Meredith, of Morgantown, are among the surviving sons. Narrow Escape from Cremation. Bayard, W. Vg., Nov. 11.—The smelling smokehouse, and dairy of Adam Stoneestreet and J. W. Malley, at Strelley, Grant County, were completely consumed by fire, with all the contents, Mrs. Malley and four children barely escaped with their lives. Mr. Malley was away at the time fighting forest fires. Water and Sewerage Bonds Win. Parsons, W. a., Nov. 11.—The question of a bond issue to put in water works and a sewerage system here has been voted upon favorably, there being 244 votes for and only 44 against. The issues is $30,000. BLAZING BOX CAR LOOKED SCARY Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 21. A hauling box car in the far eastern limits of the Chessapeake & Ohio shops yards caused quite a little uncaasiness. The car had been used as a camp car by construction crews. It for some time had been in disuse. The blaze was discovered at about six thirty o'clock and the shop whistle sounded the fire alarm repeatedly. This gave rise to alarm among the shop employees and the fright occasioned was not lessened by the remarkable large blaze which the fire created. The fire alarms of the city were not sounded, nor did the companies go to the scene, it being realized that the fire protection at the shops was sufficient to conquer the blaze. Chief Welch, however, accompanied by one of his men, did go to the scene. The task of extinguishing the blaze was not a light one, and it was only accomplished after the car had been practically reduced to oak. t as a a ‘ tae \ ‘ Pe ?
