THE ADVOCA WITH THE FULL NUMBER ALL COPIES OF NOTE FROM ALL SECTIONS. VOLUME X. Country Districts TO BE INVADED BY SPELL BEND ERS TO DISCUSS THE OAM PAIGN ISSUES. Speakers Scheduled To show up the duplicity of the Democratic candidates who are making a bid for Negro votes by deceptive methods. In addition to the meetings which are being held nightly in every ward in the city where there is any considerable Negro vote, arrangements have been perfected by which the Negro voters of the county at large may hear the issues of the present campaign discussed and be enlightened on subjects which materially affect their political welfare. This week enthusiastic meetings have been held in the Fourth, Fifth and Eighth wards at which speeches were made by a number of prominent members of the race. The attendance at those meetings and the expressions of allegiance to the Republican party which were heard from those present give good grounds for the prediction that the Democrats will be sorrier than wiser men on the morning of the ninth of next month. They will then discover that not a baker's dozen of those whom they are furnishing money now will "deliver the goods" at the time specified. The speakers, their dates and places for meetings in the county outside of Charleston follows: Tuesday, Oct. 27th. Winifrede, E. R. Carter. Crown Hill, C. E. Kimbrough. Friday, Oct. 28th. Wevaco, J.

"Man Farthest Down" Eminent educator tells American Missionary Association is not the American Negro whose condition improves. Boston, October 19—The call of the missionary field to the young men, the progress made by the colored race and the prospects for further development of the Negro under missionary endeavor, were discussed at tonight's meetings of the American Missionary Association in connection with the conference of the National Council of Congregational Churches. Booker T. Washington, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, said: "The two months which I have recently spent in Europe in observing the conditions and the prospects of the people who are farthest down, convince me that the Negro in America is by no means the race that is farthest down. The special work of the American Missionary Association for a long period of years had been dealing with that class of American people who are considered most backward, but the task before this association in uplifting the millions of Negroes of this country has many more helpful elements in it than I found in Southern Europe in relation to the uplifting of the lower classes." The speaker urged that all influence should be used to keep the Negro for the most part in the rural districts. Speaking broadly of the mission fields, the problema presented in various countries and the incentive to young men to enter into the work, Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia, said. You can have religion without civilization, as in Russia; you can have civilization without religion, as in France. You can even have civilization and a religion watched, bounded and determined by law and government regulation, as in Germany. But if you wish religion and civilization, inseparably, independent mutually and in each other, each living its own life, each giving strength to the other, you can only have it, and it only exists today in the English-speaking lands, under protest ideals, where a free church and a free state leaves to every creed freedom, to all men liberty, and to each man the possibilities and opportunities of faith." President Cyrus Northrop, of the University of Minnesota, the concluding speaker of the evening, discussed principally the work among the Negroes and the poor whites of the South. Baltimore. Md., Oct. 25—After seeing the body of Charles Ridout, her faithful colored servant, laid at rest in the grave that she had set aside for herself at the foot of the graves of her father and mother in the burying ground of St. James' Protestant Episcopal Church, My Lady Manor, Miss Catherine S. Philpot, of the well-known Philpot family of Phoenix, Baltimore County, and her friend, who had followed the body of the old servant to his last resting place, returned from the church-yard this morning to be greeted along the road by the hisses of men and women, relatives and friends of those members of St. James' Church who had fought to the last to prevent the body of a Negro from being buried in the little churchyard. Yesterday Bishop Paret, who has been appealed to, refused to prevent the interment, and Rev. James F. Plummer, rector of the church, said that the funeral would go on with opposition. He even conducted the services at the Philpot home this morning. A miner by the name of Lucas, working in the mines at Schrader, was shot this afternoon and at press time is on his way to the Charleston General Hospital. He will be brought here on a special over the K. & W. V. railroad. The wound, is in his abdomen and his condition is serious. CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1910.

The Mills Sues Elks' Chief THE OLD FACTIONAL TROUBLES BREAK OUT ANEW WITH FILING OF PAPERS. Public is Mislead Is the charge made and complainant prays for damages and an order restraining Elks from further use of ritual, Richmond, Va., Oct. 26.—Despite the fact that many thought all differences in the 'Grand Lodge of Elks were healed, Dr. James E. Mills, of Norfolk, former grand master of one faction has entered suit in the United States Court against Grand Exalted Ruler J. Frank Wheaton as trustee for the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and B. F. Howard, of Cincinnati, for $15,000 damages. In the papers it is stated that Howard organized a grand lodge in 1889, with himself as grand exalted ruler for the time beginning until August, 1909, continuously. In that month the Grand Lodge met in Detroit and Jas, E. Mills was elected to succeed Howard, who then agreed to turn over to the Grand Lodge, the ritual of the order, with all rights, titles and interest Howard could have by virtue of his copyright, for the sum of $5,000, the copyright having been issued to him June 12, 1902. Against Wheaton, by his agents, servants and followers, it is charged that he had the ritual reprinted and vended, which, it is alleged, constituted an infringement on the copyright. It is further charged that Wheaton, by his agents, servants and followers, has grossly misled the public, and is still doing so, and that the Grand Lodge has been rendered wholly unable to keep its contract with Howard, to whom the $5,000 might have been paid had it not been for the alleged interference. The complainant prays for $15,000 damages, and, on failure to prove the alleged damage through concealment of fact by the defendant, he prays special damages for the benefit of his beneficiaries in the sum of $5,000. The complainant prays for a subpoena to be issued for Wheaton and for John T. Taylor of 728 North Second Street, and asks further that the defendant's agents, servants and followers be preliminarily enjoined and restrained from the further use of the alleged pirated ritual, or any words, phrases or sentences thereof.

Olivet Baptist Association held a quarterly session here Thursday and Friday of last week with the First Baptist church which is under the pastoral charge of Rev. L. W. Mayo. The good people of this little town exercised great care in arranging for the entertainment of the members and visitors of this body. Representative ministers and deacons were present from all parts of the association all districts. Among them were president, D. D. Davis, of Charleston; secretary, W. W. Scott, of East Bank; Rev. P. P. Holland, of Raymond City; Rev. B. R. Reed, of Charleston; Rev. Dr. I. V. Bryant, of Huntington; Rev. R. D. W. Meadows, general state missionary, Rev. Dan Robinson, of St. Albans; Rev. H. M. C. Reed, of Carbon; Rev. J. J. Turner, state Sunday school superintendent of missions; Rev. L. W. Mayo, of Carbon; Rev. Richard Hughes, of Laing; deacon H. Cole, of Raymond City; Prof. J. A. Shield, of Wevaco, and Rev. Jeremiah Menze, of Transki, South Africa. At eleven o'clock Thursday morning president Rev. D. D. Davis called the meeting to order and appointed Rev. P. P. Holland and H. Coles to conduct the devotional exercise who opened by reading the 87th Psalm in which the Mercy of God is beautifully displayed. The welcoming address on behalf of the church which was delivered by Miss Mammie Hopkins was responded to by the Rev. R. D. W. Mendows. The constitution was so amended as to provide for compensation for ministers and deacons during sickness and a donation to their widows at their death. The program was made up of well chosen topics dealing largely with church discipline, as to receiving excluded members, and the relation of watch-care members. The churches were advised to adhere closely to the rules laid down in Hiscox's directory in such matters. Rev. Dr. I. V. Bryant delivered a very helpful address on the "Need of Uniformity in Baptist practices." The afternoon session on Friday was devoted largely to the question of the help and hindrance of "Secret Societies" to church work. The various speakers gave such institutions credit with doing much good along general lines but did not fail to score them for encouraging some practices which are contrary to the teaching of the church. Rev. Bryant preached an excellent sermon on Friday night, after which Rev. Meadows read the 53rd chapter of Isaiah and Rev. Menzie translated it orally into an African dialect. The next session will be held with the First Baptist church of Huntington. CHURCH ROW PROMISED Over Burdur of Negro Servant in Artistocratic White Cemetery.

His knowledge of the law and its literature was such that he was constantly consulted by white attorneys interested in important cases. Institute, West Virginia GO TO I. E.

FIGURES THAT TELL OWN TALE Figures seldom make interesting reading, yet there are exceptions to the general rule, and one of these exceptions is to be found in the speech of Attorney General Conley, says the Charleston Mail. It is a clear and succinct arraignment of facts taken from the record, and gives the exact situation as to the difference between Democratic and Republican administrations. In a short notice like this, it is impossible to quote liberally where there is so much meat, but the following facts are so salient and so pertinent and stand out so clearly that we believe they should be emphasized. He shows that the taxpayers of West Virginia paid $163,011.25 less on real estate and personality for state purposes in 1909 than they did under Governor MacCorkle in 1896. Those who received special privileges paid to the support of the state government $813,194.76 more under Governor Glasscock than they did under Governor MacCorkle. The railway companies pay in taxes, to the support of the state, county and municipal governments $1,026,711.46 more under Republican laws than they did in 1896 under Democratic laws. The insurance companies paid $112,171.56 in 1909 for doing business in this state under Republican laws as against $40.00 in 1896 under Democratic laws. The sum of $80,385.83 is annually collected in fees that would have gone into the pockets of office holders under Democratic laws, that went into the state treasury in 1909 under Republican laws. Thus it will be seen how the Republican party has been able to build at great expense, the preparatory school at Keyser; three miners' hospitals; the West Virginia asylum at Huntington; the capitol annex; the Bluefield colored institute; the girls' Industrial home; the colored orphans' home, and how they rebuff the buildings of the Glenville normal and added large additions in buildings to the West Virginia University, the state normal schools and all the other state institutions, with a less amount of taxes on personal and real estate than was collected by the Democratic party. FISHING FOR SUCKERS With a haste which was really suspicious former Governor MacCorkle and his associates on the Democratic ticket rushed into print to deny that they ever were, are now or intend to be among those who favor disfranchisement in any form, but they are as silent as mice on the jim crow car question. They say they will not favor any law which will not operate with equal fairness to both races. Their Negro henchmen garbage burners, former saloon porters, and professional boodlers tossed their ready caps into air and endorsed the statement, without knowing what it really means. But Governor MacCorkle has not yet said where he stands on the jim crow car question. To say that he favors no law which "will not operate with equal fairness to all" will not suffice. The jim crow car law of Virginia says both races shall have equal accommodations on the common carriers—in other words, the Virginia jim crow car law operates with equal fairness to both races, but it is not so that any one will notice it, even when his attention is called to the matter. The discrimination is so evident that a blind man could see it, yet appeals to the courts are of no avail, even the Supreme Court on High seems to have closed its eyes to this rank injustice. We West Virginians want none of these "laws which, on the statute books, act with equal justice to both races. We have learned that when "color" or "race" appear in any law, the Negro gets the worst of it. The Democratic party is fishing for suckers. Even if the Negroes hereabouts were in that class, they would have to use another bait. Uncle Stepteo Tinsley is dead. To those of the younger generation who know the old man merely by hearsay and by the occasional anecdote that comes to them from their elders, this statement will mean but the fact that another old man, well known throughout the county, has passed to his reward—to that reward to which all old men must be ready to go. But to the older citizen, to those who knew Uncle Step when he was the best fox hunter in the valley; to those who knew him in the chase when, with untiring feet and clarion voice, he followed the baying hounds over ridge and over valley, rivaling the silver-tongued music of his pack with the calls of encouragement, which he sent echoing further than the best of the other hunters could send the note of the best fox horn, the passing of Stepteo Tinsley will come like the turning and the passing of another page in a well-bound book. To them will come the saddening realization that the days of old and the men who belonged to the days of old when every gentleman owned his pack and every man was a fox hunter, are fast passing and that in the days to come there will be no more men like "Step," whose reputation was as broad as the reputation of the doctors and the lawyers who inhabited the valley, for truly he was the arch devotee of the gentleman's sport, and like a gentleman he knew his craft, and like a gentleman he enjoyed it. To those who knew this old hunter the mention of his name is more potent than Alladin's lamp, for the lamp of the Arabian magician was merely able to bring to life things of the future, while Steptoe Tinsley's name centures up out of the dead beloved days long gone the beloved people who are dead and gone. To mention Steeptep Tinsley brings visions of the days when the real fox hunters of Kanawha roamed these hills; of the time when almost any moonlight night, listening wives could hear, floating home to them over the valleys and down the hollows, the elfin music of the far flown greeting from the mellow hunting horns of husbands who had stopped on some high ridge at a hollow's end to send those they loved the greeting that told them "All is well!" At the mention of Step Tinsley's name, John Van Buren, Dick Delaney, John Kenna, John Newhouse, Fleet Porterfield, all the real lovers of the chase in Kanawha, once more tread with ghostly feet the dream hunts of the old men who hunted with them. At the mention of his name, Kanawha's hills echo with the silent music of the memories of long gone hunts until every hollow wafts on its misty breast the baying of the hounds that have run their last race. And to this music of the past the old hunters listen. Before winter's fires, at the mention of his name, old eyes will brighten and tales of past excitement and happiness will add days to lives that could be numbered in hours. Uncle Steptoe Tinsley is dead, and in his passing one link that bound the present to the past is forever gone. The days are marching on, and we must all keep up the march. The present days are dear, the future may be better but there are memories which enelohe the past, that make the old things sacred, and to the past belong the old hunters like Steptoe Tinsley. May he, in that great beyond, whereof we know so little, find that heaven for which we all strive, and, if this old man's desire be fully realized, then that heaven will be strangely like the hills of home that rise in Kanawha and over those hills he will follow endless, tireles hunts with a pack that never hits but whose tongues give forth music that to him is sweeter than the pipes of Pan, soft blown by lips acolian, and in his heart will thrill the joy that comes to those who have earned heaven. True Reformers Banquet Their Chief OVER TWO HUNDRED JOIN IN TESTIMONIAL COMMEMORATING SEVEN YEARS OF SERVICE. Thompson's National News Bureau. Washington, D. C., Oct. 26—On last Friday evening over two hundred friends and co-workers of Mr. Walter R. Griffin took part in a testimonial dinner in his honor, fittingly commemorating the completion of Mr. Griffins seventh year as chief of the Washington District of the Unit- ed Order of True Reformers. An immense table was spread in the main hall of the True Reformers and a sumptuous repast was served by Caterer Emanuel Murray. Music, was furnished by a select orchestra. The hall was profusely decorated with flags and festoons of tri-colored bunting. On the platform were well-executed, portraits of Founder W. W. Brown, Former Grand Master W. L. Taylor, present Grand Master A. W. Holmes, Grand Treasurer R. T. Hill, Grand Secretary W. P. Burrefl and Chlef Griffin, who, by common consent, was nominated as future grand master, when the service of the present incumbent shall have terminated. The toastmaster of the occasion was Mr. M. M. Peace, who delivered a splendid eulogy on the life, character and work of the distinguished guest of honor, setting an example which was followed by each succeeding speaker with a heartiness that gave evidence of absolute sincerity. Affectionate and appreciative messages were sent by Grant Master Holmes, Grand Secretary Burrell, Capt. E. C. Willis, and others, who were unable to be present. The program embraced the following addresses: "Our Women," Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson, deputy of the Order of St. Luke; "The Press," R. W. Thompson; "Automobile Garage and Training School," J. W. Stockton; "Politeness a Business necessity," General Henry Forrest; "Race Journalism," Oliver Randolph; "The True Reformers Building as a Factor in Race Progress." Dr. Arthur S. Gray; "Our Colored Artist," Daniel Freeman; "Our Guest," Rev. I. N. Ross; "Business Opportunities," Marie A. D. Madre; "Diplomacy as a Business Asset," Dr. C. W. Childs; "The Importance of a Useful Citizen" Judge Robert H. Terrell. Griffin made a feeling and felitous response to all the good things that had been said of him and assured his friends that he would endeavor to be more worthy in the future than he had been in the past and that the kindly encouragement gave him an impetus that would strengthen him for all time to come. The popular chief, who is a bachelor, made no definite promise as to what he would do about taking a partner for life—but the ladies are living in hope. In Chief Griffin's seven years of service he has increased the membership from a handful to over 5,000 and since he undertook the True Reformer work, he has handled satisfactorily over $350,000.

Good Attendance At School Opening NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS BEGINS SECOND YEAR WITH APPROPRIATE EXERCISES AND BRIGHT PROSPECTS Thompson's Nat. News Bureau. Washington, D. C., October 26. The opening of the National Training School for Women and Girls, founded by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs at Lincoln Heights, northeast of the city, was held Tuesday in the chapel of the school at 3 oclock p. m. A large and appreciative gathering of friends was present, not only from Washington, but from Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Virginia and Connecticut. Short addresses were delivered by Rev. J. Franklin Walker, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. J. Frank Williams, of Baltimore; Dr. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. E. B. Gordon, Rev. J. Milton Waldon, Rev. Aquilla Sayles, Mrs. Anna Evans Murray, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Mrs. E. E. Whitefield, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, A. M. President of the school. While the exercises were short, they were very appropriate and received with an enthusiasm that be-speaks the great interest that is hourly being aroused in this noble work. The main spirit that seemed to pervade the meeting was one of unselfishness, and a desire to help the young women of the race who are manifesting a desire to help themselves. This school, which was organized only a year ago, is, perhaps, the most unique enterprise ever launched by Negroes in an effort to help themselves. It is owned and operated by the Women's Convention, an auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, and has thus far, in the main, been supported by the women of the Baptist denomination. These women started this school with the determination of first uniting to help themselves, and they have certainly shown what can be accomplished by those who desire to do something toward their own profit. They deserve the hearty support of those who want to help the race train the women who must make the home life for their people. The institution is devoting itself to the moral, religious, intellectual and industrial development, or the training of the head, heart and hand of Negro women and girls; and while the students have an opportunity of receiving a thorough literary training from the primary to the college course, they are, at the same time, thoroughly trained in the industrial arts. Although the school is only in its second year, the enrollment is gratifyingly large, and represents twenty-one states of the Union, and Africa, Canada and the West Indies.

With this building, properly equipped they will be in a position to supply the needs of hundreds of Negro women and girls who are not only desirous of getting the mental and moral training that this school offers, but are willing and anxious to, take advantage of the opportunity to fit themselves for service. A new dining hall has been erected, but already the necessity for its enlargement has been manifested. A furnace is to be installed in the present main building, and many are contributing money for this work, so that it will be ready before the cold weather sets in. The school is always open for inspection, and the faculty is anxious that the friends portunity to pay it a visit. Miss Burroughs, to be practical, announces that families, needing help on Saturdays can secure girls, from this school who are honest and willing to work to help themselves to get a substantial start in life. Every Sunday the Bennings cars are full of interested people, white and colored, journeying out to Lincoln to see what this wonderful institutions is like.

NOVEL O Gas Ranges CHAFING TEA & COF ESKEV Charleston Two large and enthusiastic meetings were held in the Eighth and Fourth wards last night by the colored voters who have become much concerned as to the outcome of this campaign. It has been a number of years since the colored voters have been so aroused as they are this campaign and they seem more than anxious to see that the party with which they have been affiliated for a number of years triumph at the polls on November 5th. This feeling was clearly, in evidence last night by the way they listened to the orators of their race as they explained the issues of this campaign. Every word was grasped by the voters and the salient points of the speakers were loudly cheered. The speakers at both of these meetings went into the issues involved in this campaign thoroughly and urged the voters to ring true on election day. The voters seemed anxious to resent the attitude of the Democrats as to the negro's position on the whiskey question. While a number admitted that they had indulged to a certain extent yet they seemed anxious to have it understood they were going to take no chance with their political and civil rights just for a drink or cheap whiskey. They are lining up CHAS. CAPITO, President. Capital Stock Surplus and Profits W E'RE HEADQUARTERS FOR EVERY thing imaginable to make your house and kitchen work easy.

G DISHES COFFEE SETS CASS EW, SMITH "Everything For as never before with the good citizens on the great moral questions involved in the campaign and if the enthusiasm manifested by the colored voters can be taken as an index as to what they intend to do on election day, the Democrats will fall short of election if they are depending on the black votes to carry them to victory. The meeting in the Eighth ward last night was a rousing one in every sense of the word and the voters were aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the eloquent speakers who addressed them. The speakers were never heard to better advantage, as each speaker was absolutely lost in his subject and the eloquence of earnestness made it easy to drive home their points. Among the speakers wre Rev. Edward Humbles, Attorney Emery R. Carter, Mr. Golf, Sam Mack and others, all of whom were attentively listened to. The meeting in the Fourth ward was large and the voters manifested much interest. Many telling speeches were made and the voters were shown the danger confronting them. The Democrats had boasted that no club would be organized in that ward, but they were mistaken in that, as they are in everything else. E. A. REID, Cashier. W. A. CRACRAFT, Asst. C.

The speakers of the evening were C. E. Kimbrough, J. W. Chappelle, J. E. Johnson, R. C. McIver, W. T. Jones and William Jefferson. For over two hours the voters listened to a flow of oratory which caused them to lose sight of everything except what the speakers were saying, and they left feeling that the evening had been well spent. As the campaign progresses the enthusiasm of the colored voters is growing and at the rate they are falling in line at the present time there will not be a corporal's guard for the Democrats by election day. The colored voters of the city are preparing to hold a mammoth meeting at the court house next Monday, evening, at which time Prof. E. W. B. Curry, the noted colored orator of Urbana, Ohio, and possibly Judge Robert Terrell, will deliver addresses. This meeting is looked forward to with much interest. Paris, October 26.—M.

Va., Oct. 26—The Republican party held a rousing rally here last night. The meeting was held in the school building and was well attended. The speakers for the occasion were Dr. Stump, of Charleston; Hon. Harold P. Tompkins, of Cedar Grove, and Capt. Collins, of Charleston. Dr. Stump gave an excellent lecture in the cause of prohibition. He explained the evil effects of beverages in any form and gave statistics to prove it a menace to any State and to any form of good government. Hon. Harold P. Tompkins announced in the beginning that he was a Republican from head to foot and he had come there to prove it. In a very courteous manner he attacked the political arguments made by the Democrats and upheld the good policies of Republican government. Mr. Tompkins, judging from the enthusiasm with which he was greeted, succeeded in demonstrating to the voters the many reasons why they should give their support toward electing the Republican ticket. Capt. Collins followed and gave a strictly prohibition talk. He stated that he had been a Democrat all his life, but to him the support of good government, decency and honesty came before the support of any political party and that was the reason for his now pleading the cause on Republicanism. Capt. Collins, who was for several years a resident of Hernshaw, and who is well known here, gave his usually good speech. Washington October 26. President Taft, it is stated, has decided to appoint a colored man to the highest office in the executive branch of the government ever held by a member of that race. William H. Lewis, at present assistant district attorney at Boston, is to be assistant attorney general of the United States. The assertion is made by Charles McIntyre, who will have charge of the "Better Farming" train which is to be run over the B. & O. lines in the Eastern Panhandle, that this will be the most complete of the educational trains ever run in this State under similar auspices. He has had coarse of eight such trains and is in position to know of what he speaks in such connection. The train will be run by the State Board of Agriculture Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 2. 2 and 4. One of the coaches will be devoted to soil improvement demonstrations, one to horticulture and fruit growing. One coach will be provided especially for the ladies. That coach will be in charge of three women specialists who will deliver lectures and make demonstrations of interest to home makers. It has been arranged to spend a half day in each of the following stops which are in the counties of Jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan, Hamshire and Hardy counties: November 2, Shenandoah Junction and Martinsburg: November 3.

Mr. Nease was an ex-sheriff and a leader in politics in the county. He and Judge Poffenbarger had been close friends for many years. Grading the Papers. Grading the Papers. The work of grading the papers of applicants for certificates as fire bosses and mine foremen is progressing nicely in the State department of mines. The work is more tedious this time than the grading done after former examinations, and it will require Deputies Conner and Henry several days to go through all the papers. The examinations are producing a large number of good men for the positions open in the different mining regions, and those connected with the mine department are much pleased with the interest that is being taken wherever the examinations are held. The papers turned in by 138 applicants for certificates are in the batch being gone over by the examiners. Interesting Campaign Meeting. A message received this morning at the State House from Elkins Indicated that the meeting held by the Republicans out there last night, at which Governor Glasscock was the principal speaker, was one of the most interesting campaign sessions ever held in Randolph county. Senator Elkins was not physically able to be present. The Governor made lengthy reference to the work that has been done by the board of control of his selection, and his assertions concerning the amount of money that has been saved the State through the offices of that body apparently had a great deal of weight with the audience. The Governor and State Tax Commissioner Townsend left Elkins this morning for Philippi where a meeting is scheduled for this afternoon and where it is promised there will be an enormous crowd. Notaries. A notary commission has been issued by the Governor to H. E. Wells, of Parkersburg. Those Fine New Walks.

Third Quarterly Conference.—The district superintendent held the third quarterly conference for Simpson M. E. Church last Friday night. Among the many items of business was the institution of a vigorous campaign to raise the residue of the Carnegie fund. It will be remembered that effort was made last May by the Delaware and Washington conference to raise $25,000 of the $50,000 necessary to secure a like sum from Mr. Carnegie for the endowment of Morgan College, Baltimore. White conferences assumed the responsibility of $25,000. The two colored conferences having failed in raising their apportionment, the time was extended. The apportionment of Simpson church is 50 cents per member making a total of $126, of which $14 have been raised. All the members are earnestly urged to pay their apportionment before the close of L.

It will be recalled that Rev. Downs lost his household effects in a fire a few weeks ago. The accident to his daughter, coming so soon after his other misfortune, is seriously regretted by the members of his church and a wide circle of friends. Sermon to Men.—Kev. J. S. Carroll will preach a special sermon to men at Simpson M. E. Church, Sunday evening. His discourse will be upon their duty to their families and themselves as regards the saloon and the stand they should take in the present crisis of their political affairs.

M., October 19—Because the Committee on the Legislative Department is hopelessly divided on the question of initiative and referendum; its report to the Constitutional Convention will not refer to direct legislation, except to ask that it be considered by the convention as a whole. The Committee on Education has decided against incorporating into the constitution any article regarding separate schools for white and colored children. The Committee on Legislative Department has decided that the legislative power shall be vested in a Senate and a House of Representatives, the former to consist of 24 and the later of 49 members.

GANDICASTER FESTIVAL KONCASY FOR NOVEMBER. Mr. Taft, who rules the nation, Offers this, his proclamation; 'Whereas, Providence continues Blessing us from day to day, And the boon of independence Has, we take it, conie to stay; And whereas, Indulgent Nature Lavishes upon us still Bounty in excess of what the Weather and the bugs can kill; And whereas, The old republic Couldn't be improved upon, Notwithstanding everybody Gets to run it off and on; Therefore, I as delegated Now and for a short time hence President, decree that turkey Shall go up to 20 cents. That's about all there is to it. Once the country raised its own, and the White House proclamation was not greeted with groan. Father simply grabbed the hatchet, mother got the water hot, father read the proclamation to the turkeys in the lot, all the young and female turkeys promptly fainted from the shock, and after due farewells the gobbler laid his head upon the block. No one telephoned the butcher, asking what a turkey cost. No one in his deep resentment wished the Pilgrims had been lost. No one, while the feast proceeded, knew the torment of the rack figuring upon his napkin what the day had set him back: Everybody was provided, as the founders pre-supposed. No one can be very thankful, if the truth should be disclosed, paying what we pay for turkey, and, for all of Heaven's gifts feeling that the day was founded for the Armours and the Swift November gets its name from the Latin novem (nine), and was originally the ninth month of the year. This brought Thanksgiving around two months earlier than we have it now, and it became very unpopular. The insurgents, who constituted a majority in the agricultural districts, were bitterly opposed to it. They made two contentions: First, that young turkeys were not old enough to market; second, that crops had not progressed to the point where it was possible to make out whether there was anything to be thankful for or not. In 713 B. C. the storm broke. The insurgents carried Gaul, Brittania and 17 other doubtful states, and the Forum immediately assembled and made November the eleventh month of the year. The festive colt will sniff the air and don his heavy underhair... and the frenzied candidate will jump and hop around upon the stump. He'll point with pride and view with fear, and suck and blow the atmosphere, might together with his cult, await with prayer the result. Does reason happily hold its sway, or is it madness for a day will tell the people what to think and put the country on the blink? One cannot tell, but must abide the count that sees him justified in courage, confidence or doubt, according as it may turn out. One thing alone is sure, it seems and that is this: No one esteems a patriot in politics. We only trust him while he sticks to war, with all its thrill and throb. The moment that he wants a job somewhat conspicuous for pay, by Jove! we don't know what to say. But whether we do ill or well, election day will tell, or whether love for us and fear did any good, will then appear. We have to judge men as we may, and where the candidates all say about the same thing in the end, one scarcely knows who is a friend. At any rate, the snow will fly, and the wild duck spin across the sky with both eyes focused on the ground, and his tailpiece going round and round. The eager hunter, will deploy and supplement the live decoy, and the pneumococcus, while he toots, will perforate his rubber boots. A Httle shooting now and then is relished by a lot of men. They like to gallivant about and let the farmers run them out. It does them good to feel, by jing, that Morgan dont own everything, and if he came in consequence, and also tried to climb the fence, together with his dog and gun, he, too, would also get the run. November will be unusual this year for the reason that there will be no full moon. This is because there will be a total eclipse of the moon on the night of the 16th, when it would otherwise be full. This will be visible in the United States and in Wall street, and it will send bacon down a couple of points. The breath of Winter will distill upon the outer windowstill, and the chilling calf will hump his back and burrow deeper in the stack. The hired man, with wintry spurts, will put on both his undershirts, and the plutocraft who sells its coal will pry our bodies from our souls. Then let us all embrace the chance and be as merry as we may, for whether we desist or dance, the fiddler is for all to pay. The gentle autumntime will pass, the countryman will kill his hogs, the cotton-tall will weave the grass around the obfuscated dogs, the honking goose will ride the heights with that weird hollering of his, and the wolf will sit around o' nights and tell the moon how thin he is. O woe is us that could enjoy the autumntime for aye and aye, and what with growing soul employ its witchery from day to day. The phosphorescence in the sky, the quail soft-piping on the hill, the black-birds ever bobbing by, and the wind soft-sighing where it will. But happiness can never last, as Antony could apprehend, and holding Cleo to him fast, destroyed himself before the end. The summer cometh after spring, and winter, merciless withal, as truly must succeed the sweet and gentle blandishments of fall. At any rate, upon a day. Deciphered in the almanacs. December, desolate and gray, Will come to whistle through the cracks. Candidates for the Forest Range Service SPECIAL TO THE MAIL. Washington, Oct. 26. Examinations opened this morning in fourteen far-western States, and in Florida, Michigan, Minnesota and Alaska to fill vacant positions as assistants forest rangers on the national forests. The examinations are held at national forest headquarters in ala States in which national forests are located, except in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and will last two days. The positions pay, at entrance, a salary of $1,100 per annum. Men who enter the national forest work as assistant rangers are eligible for promotion to positions as rangers, and later to the position of forest supervisor, if they are good enough. The latter position pays a salary of from $1,600 up, and calls both for all-round executive ability and for a certain amount of practical knowledge of forestry. Rangers work under the forest supervisors, often with a particular district in their charge, protecting the forests against fire and trespass, handling much of the minor business with forest users, estimating and sealing timber and enforcing regulations under which purchasers of timber are allowed to cut on the national forests, building trails, supervising the work of forest guards, and on occasion leading forces of temporary employees against forest fires too large to be handled by the regular national forest force. The forest ranger must, therefore, first of all be an experienced and vigorous woodsman. BLUEFIELD COLORED INSTITUTE BLUEFIELD, WET IR GINIA On the main line of the N. & W. R.

Announcement is made that the Hampton Alumni Association of this city will hold an educational mass meeting at Metropolitn A. M. E Church November 18, in connection with the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, and it is expected that the principal address will be delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington, Hampton's most famous alumnus. President R. B. Frissell, Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets, Capt. Allen Washington and others will be present. The details of the affair are in the hands of Mr. F. E Lee, a well-known manager of large affairs along educational, commercial and social lines. It is hoped to create an interest among the local Hampton students and graduates residing here that will lead to raising money for scholarships for deserving young men who wish to take the courses at Hampton. The Liberian Register gives it as its opinion that Lawyer T. McCants Stewart, formerly of New York, and later of Hawaii, has "outlived his usefulness" in the Liberian Republic. There is a hint that under the new census the representation of the South in Congress may be reduced. The designation of Bishop Walters as supervisor of this district of the Zion church, strikes a popular chord. The wife of Rev. W. H. Coston, of Hillsdale, D. C., has caused the arrest of the reverend gentleman, charging him with taking $120 from her trunk. The money is said to be the property of a lady friend of Mrs. Coston. Some sensational developments are promised when the trial comes off. Howard University held memorial services in honor of the late Julia Ward Howe last Friday. President Thirkield, who had on one occasion spoken from the same platform with the renowned author of "The Battle South Church in Boston," at the Old South Church in Boston, paid an eloquent tribute to Mrs. Howe. To the accompaniment of the University orchestra, the students, gathered in the chapel, sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "at the conclusion of the services. William Pickens of Talladega College, Alabama, spoke at Bethel Tuesday evening on "Our Ground for Hope for the Negro's Future."

The Board of Education has dismissed the charges against Assistant Superintendent Bruce as trivial and unsustained. This will practically end the "tempest in a teapot" that has been waged at the expense of our schools by a coterie of chronic kickers hereabouts. Dr. C.

He made a fine impression upon the music-lovers of the Quaker City. Oldfield Easily Defeats Johnson SAYS HE RACED FOR "WHITE MAN'S HOPE," BUT HE TOOK THE BLACK MAN'S MONEY JUST THE SAME. --- New York, Oct. 25—The ambition of Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist to annex other honors as a racing automobile driver, received a blight here this afternoon at the hand of Barney Oldfield. Johnson showed to poor advantage in his new role and Oldfield in one heat of their five-mile race at Sheepshead Bay, toyed with the big fighter. Only two heats were needed to settle the question of superiority. Following the victory Oldfield tonight gave out this statement: "I raced Jack Johnson for neither money or glory, but to" eliminate from my profession an invader who would have had to be reckoned with sconer or later. If Jeffries had fought Johnson five years ago the white man would have won and after Jeffries retired he would have never had to fight him again. If I had ignored Johnson for a year or so he probably would have gained much experience on the tracks and bought high powered cars, while I am not getting any better from day to day. I am glad if my victory over Johnson today will have any effect on In the first heat Oldfield ran away from Johnson. He was quicker to get away and Johnson's car never showed ahead. At the finish Oldfield led about a quarter of a mile. His time for the first heat was four minutes, 44 seconds. The time of the second heat, five minutes 14 4-5 seconds, or 30 4-5 seconds slower than the first tells the story of the heat. Nevertheless, Oldfield took $5,000 of the Negro's money. Steptoe Tinsley Died at Ripe Age ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN NEGROES IN KANAWHA VALLEY, FOX HUNTER AND BREEDER OF HOUNDS. Steptoe Tinsley, aged 99, died Monday morning at 10 o'clock, at his home, on Hansford street. There was no man in Charleston who was better known to the older inhabitants of Charleston than Uncle "Step." This old colored man had lived within one year of the Century mark and in all his long life he had made friends. For the last nine years he has been paralyzed and ill, but prior to the attack, which seized him, he was active and about. He was a famous fox hunter, and raiser of hounds. His friends were numbered among the vast throng that love the chase, and this fraternity drawing its devotees from all walks of life, the people who will mourn the passing of Steptoe Tinsley will be many. Steptoe Tinsley had a wonderful life. Born a sieve, he belonged to Robert Tinsley, at Franklyn, Virginia. He remained in Virginia until two year's after Lee's surrender, when he came to Kanawha where he has resided ever since. He was twice married, and by his two wives was the father of 21 children. Seven of these children were by his first wife, and 14 by his second wife. These are the Tinsleys that are known to the people of Charleston. There are but four of them living, Robert and Wes, the boys and two daughters, Carrie McHarris and Lizzie Ward. The funeral was held at the home on Hansford street, and the services were conducted by the Rev. R. A. Reed, of the Baptist church, at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Port au Prince, Hayti, Oct. 26.... The Haytien gunboat Liberte has been lost at sea off Port de Palat, following an explosion on board. It is estimated that 70 persons were either killed or drowned.

Among those lost were ten Haytien generals who were going to take command of several divisions of troops in the Department of the North. 16 CAPITOL ST.

Henry Smith One Price Clothier 222 Capitol Street MORE JUDGES INDISPENSIBLE There is at least one question to be decided by the voters of this State on November 5th on which all can agree, that is the constitutional amendment providing for two additional judges for the Supreme Court of Appeals. These who do not know, especially those who work with their hands, are wont to believe that the position of judge is a sinecure, that he who presides over the courts of the land has a "good thing," but they were never more mistaken in their lives. In addition to the responsibility of the position, much work devolves upon a judge of any court of record, especially upon the judge who sits upon the bench of the Supreme Court of Appeals. In every case appealed to that tribunal are briefs by the opposing counsel in which as many as fifty citations are often made to other cases bearing upon the points at issue. These briefs must be carefully read and digested by the judge to whom they are assigned, each citation must be read and the authorities on the subject consulted. This requires much time, research and patience. If they were men of smaller 16 CAR CHAR WEST RUGS, LINOLEUM, OILCLOTH, MATTINGS, LACE CURTAINS, SHADES, BLANKETS, SHEETS, TOWELS, PRICES WAY OFF --- With a stock already far too big, and thousands of dollars worth of fall and Xmas goods to arrive compels us to have more room—this is the simple reason we make these remarkable way low prices right at the opening of the season, and will give you from the best, of the best, seasonable, desirable merchandise.

It would be a "cinch", if they were without the pride of position and did not concern themselves with the law, justice or the good opinion of the bar and the bench in other states. As it is, our Supreme Court judges are overworked. Yet, work as hard as they may, they are not able to stem the tide of cases which flows into their court in ever increasing volume. With each passing year the docket shows a larger number of cases no disposed of though, with the exception of one year in the past eight the days in which the court has been in session have steadily increased in number. In compliance with the request of the West Virginia Bar Association, Wm. B. Mathews, Clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals, says: in connection with a table showing the appeals docketed, decided, dismissed refused, pending and the days in session: were pending on September 30, 1908, one hundred and seventy-two cases, and on September 30, 1910, five hundred and twenty-six cases. In addition to the statement made above, the records of my office show that there are now submitted for decision to the Court and undecided, three hundred and thirteen cases; of this number sixteen cases were submitted prior to the June term, 1909; twenty-three cases during the June term, 1909; during the September term, 1909, thirty-six cases; during the January term, 1910, one hundred and twenty-seven cases; during the June term, 1910, sixty-three cases, and during the September term, 1910, forty-eight cases. This will constitute the docket of 313 submitted cases when the Court meets October 11, for the Fall special term." "It will also be seen from the above statement that for the year ending September 30, 1910, the Court, or some member thereof, passed upon three hundred and fifty-four applications for appeals, or writs of error: of this number two hundred and forty-six were granted and one hundred and eight refused. Each record and the brief accompanying same has to be read and examined by the Court or judge, before the question whether the appeal or writ of error should be granted or refused, can be decided. It will be observed that the applications for appeals for the last five years have averaged three hundred and fifty per year." It will be observed also, that the decisions rendered, and opinions filed, average about one hundred and seventy-five per year. For the years 1909 and 1910, the number of decisions rendered and opinions filed were slightly less than for the two preceding years; the cause of this was the character of some of the cases up for decision in those two years. As for instance, the case known as the Two Cent Fare Case in 1910, and the well-known King land cases in 1909. A case of this kind being one of great public interest and importance required a great deal of time for consideration." "It will further be seen that each judge wrote thirty-seven opinions in each of those years, and concurred in or dissented from one hundred and thirty-eight opinions written by the other four judges. It will also be seen that if no further cases were brought before this Court if would take almost two years to decide all the cases now submitted if the Court worked at the average rate for the last five years. The average record will be in size a book of one hundred and twenty pages; some of the records go above one thousand and the very large numbers run from one hundred and fifty pages to one thousand. There are usually filed with each case at least two briefs, and in at least one-half the cases more than two. The average number of printed pages in the briefs will exceed forty. It will thus be seen that each judge must read at least one hundred and sixty printed pages of record and briefs in each case decided; to this must be added the reading of the many cases cited in the various briefs and the independent research made by the judges into text-books and cases; and of course time necessary for the preparation of his opinion after a decision is reached and the examination and discussion of such opinion in conference. Frequently very short records contain exceedingly troublesome and complicated questions requiring much time and research. Cases usually are not appealed unless they involve close questions." T. C. Court has original jurisdiction in mandamus, habeas corpus and prohibition cases. Since the statute made mandamus the proper remedy in election cases, many original cases 20 MISS HENRIETT A VINTON DAVIS. Dramatic reader, who will appear be fore the W. Va. Teachers' Association at Hinton, November 24th. have been brought to the Supreme Court thereunder. These cases usually involve offices such as sheriff, clerk, etc., and are usually strongly contested, and are nearly always argued orally, and on account of the character of scuh cases they are usually given precedence. Otherwise, the remedy would be practically valueless. It will be noticed that more appeals were dismissed in the last year than in any preceding; several of these dismissals were because the parties could, not wait for the decision. The indications point to a docket of at least one hundred and fifty matured cases for argument at the January term, 1911. It is a question affecting the citizenship of the state, white and black rich and poor, whether or not the cases submitted to the courts shall be decided without undue delay. It is very evident that the present number of judges is unequal to the task. The remedy is to vote for the amendment. Spectre Balloons are Seen at Several Points BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

John B. Hood monument is to be unveiled with imposing ceremonies. All arrangements for the monument unveiling were completed today. The exercises will be preceded by a parade of the veterans and other organizations to the Capitol grounds, where the memorial has been erected. The principal speakers at the unveiling will be Gen.
