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.

Figures seldom make interesting reading, yet there are exceptions to the general rule, and one of these ex- ceptions 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 adminis- trations, 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 sc pertinent and stand out so clearly that we believe they should be en- phasized. He shows that the tax- payers of West Virginia paid $163, 011.25 less on real estate and person- alty for state purposes in 1909 than they dia under Governor-MacCorkle in 1896. Those who received speciai 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 4112.171.56 in 1909 for doing busi- ness in this state under Republican Jaws as against $40.00 in 1896 un- der Democratic laws. The sum of $80,385.85 is annually collected in fees that would have gone into the pockets of office holders under Demo- cratic laws, that went into the state treasury in 1909 under Republican Jaws. ‘Thus it will be seen how the Republican party has been able to build at great expense. the prepara- tory school at Keyser: three miners’ hospitals; the West Virginia asylum at Huntington; the capitol annex; the BlieNeld colored instituté The girls’ industrial home; the colored or- phans’ home, and how they rebuif the buildings of the Glenville normal and added large additions in build- ings {o the West Virsinia 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 POR SUCKERS. | With a haste which was really sus- picious former Governor MacCorkle and hisassociates on the Democratic ticket rushed into print to deny that they ever were, are now or intend to be among those who favor disfran- chisement in any form, but they are as silent as mice on the jim crow car aiuestion. 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 bood- lers 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 Jaw of Virginia says both races shall have equal accommoda- tions 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 at- tention is called to the matter. The discrimination is so evident that a Dlind 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 in- Justice, We West Virginians want none of these “laws which, on the statute books. act with equal justice to both races. We haye learned that when ‘color" or “race’’ appear in any law, the Negro gets the worst of it. The Democratic party is fishing for suck- ers. Even if the Negroes hereabouts were in that class. they would have to use another ‘bait. - “STEP” TINSLEY. (The Charleston Gazette.)

News Bureau Washington, D. C., October 26.— avi“ BP TR Natoma IAS Ing” School foi “Worse Bia "GINS, founded by Miss Nannie :H. Burroughs at Lincoln Heights, northeast of the city, was ‘held Tuesday In the chapel of the school at 3 ocloek p.m... A large and appreciative. gathering ‘of friends ‘was present, not only from Washington, ‘dnt -frony Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Iilinois, Virginia and Connecticut. Short addresses were delivered by Rev. J. Franklin. Walker, of Cincin- nati, Obio; Dr. J. Frank Williams, of Baltimore; Dr. Walter H. Brooks, Rey. EB. B. Gordon, Rev, J. Milton Waldfon, Rev. Aquilla Sayles, Mrs. Anna Evans Murray, Mrs. Julia Ma- son Layton, Mrs. BE. E. Whitefield, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, A. M President of the school. While the exercises were short, they were very appropriate and re- ceived with an enthusiasm that be- speaks the great interest that is hour- ly being aroused in this noble work. The main spirit that seemed to per- vade the meeting was one of unsel- fishness, and a desire to help the young women of the race who are manifesting a desire to help them- selves. > . This school, which was organized only a year ago, is, perhaps, the most unique enterprise ever launched by Negroes in an effort to help them- selves. It is owned and operated by the Women's Convention, an auxil- iary to the National Baptist Conven- iton, and has thus far, in the main, been supported by the women of the Baptist denomination. These women started this school with the dotermi- nation of frat uniting to help them- selves, 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 tho race train the women who must make the home life for ther people. ‘Tho institution is devoting itselt to the moral, retigtous, intel- Heetual cand industrial development, ee the training of the head. heart and hand of Negro women and girls; and While the students have an op- ‘portunity of recetving a thorough it- erary training from the primary to the college course, they are, at the same time, thoroughly trained in the industrial arts, Althongh the school is only in its second year, the enrollment is gratify- ingly large, and represents twenty-one states of the Union, and Africa, Can- ada and the West Indies.

Mohiér, “Se - Two large and enthusiastic meet ings were held in the Eighth and Fourth ‘wards Jast night by the col- -ored voters. who have became much voncerned a8 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 sein more than anxious to see that the party with which they have been afiieted for a number of years triumph at the polls on November Sth. ‘This fecling was clearly. in evidence last night by the way they listened to Lhe ora- tors of their race as they explained the issues of this campaign. very word was grasped by tte voters and the salient points of the spenkers 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 clecticn day. ‘The vot- ers Seemed anxious to resent the at Utude of the Democrats as to the hegro’s, position on the. whiskey amestion, 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 ciyil rights Just for a drink ox cheap whiskey. They are Mning up as‘ never before with the good’ citi- zens on: the great’ moral’ questions Snvolved in'the campatyn and If the enthusiasm manifested by the ¢olor- ed voters can be taken ag an indéx as to what they intend to do on elcction day, the Democrats wilt Tall short of election if they are de- pending on the black votes to carry them to victory, The meeting in the Bighth ward last night was a rous- ing one in every sense of the word and the voters were aroused to“ high pitch of enthusiasm by the elo- quent 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, Ed: ward Humbles, Attorney Emery. .R Carter, Mr. Golf, Sam Mack and oth- ers, all of whom were attentively listened to. Tho meeting in the Fourth ward was large and the voters manifested much interest. Many telling speeches were made andi the voters Were shown the danger confronting them. The Democrats had boasted that. no cluh would be orgariized in that ward, but they were mistaken’ in that,‘as they ave in everything else. In no ward in the city has there’ been greater enthusiasm for the straight Republican ticket than in the Fourth ward, and that ward will be hear from in-no uncertain manner —on election day. The speakers of the evening were ©. E. Kimbrough, J. W, Chappelle, J. EB. Johnson, R. C. Me- Iver, W. 'T. Jones and William Jes ferson. For over two hours the voters listened to a flow of oratory which caused them to lose sight of everything edeept what the speakers were saying, and they left feeling that the evening had been well spent. As the campaign progresses the en- thusiasm 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 meet; ing at the court house next Monda, evening, at which time Prof. B. W. B.- Curry, the noted colored orator of Urbana, Ohio, and possibly Judge Robert Terrell, will deliver ad- dresses, ‘This meeting is looked for- ward to with much, interest. apreemeanresl Abieincnatinensi: Paris, October 26.—M.

The meeting was held in. the aqhoo} building and was well attended. The. speakers for the occasion were Dr. Stump, of ‘Charleston; Hon. Harold P. Tomp- kins, of Cedar Grove, and Capt. Cor- Tins, of Charleston. Dr, Stump gave an excellent lec- ture in the cause of prohibition, He explained the evil eifects of bever ages 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 an- nounced in the beginning that he was a Republican from head to too: and he had come there to prove it. In a very courteous manner he at: tacked the political arguinents made by the Democrats and upheld the 90d policies of Republican govern- ment. Mr. Tompkins, judging trom the enthusiasm with which he way greeted, succeeded in demonstrating to the voters the many reasons why they should give their support. to- ward clecting 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 suppert of goou government, decency and honesty came before the stipport of any po- tical party and that was tie reason for his now pleading the cause o1 Republicanism.

Collins, who was for several years a resident of Hernshaw, and who ts well known here, gave his usually good speech, |_ Washington October 26.—Presi- dent ‘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 réce.

Only two heats were needed to settle the question of superiority. Following the victory Oldfield to- bight gave oul this statement: “T 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, df Jeffries had fought Johnson five years ago the white man wonld have won and after Jeffries retired he would have never had to fieht him again. it {had ignores Johnsen for a year or x0 he probably wontd have gained much experience on the tracks and bought high powered cars, while Lam not getting any better from day to day Tam gluta my vietory over Johu son today will have any. effect on the question of the white man’s hope situation.” 4 3 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, ‘ i eee a Steptoe Tinsley § Died at Ripe Age ONE OF 'THE BEST KNOWN NE.

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.

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. Fort Arthur, Ont., Oct. 26.—The forest rangers in the government's employ sent word here this morning that a balloon was seen descending in the forest between this city, which is seven miles from Fort William and Black Sturgeon lake, early this morning.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 26—Bowed with the weight of years but with all the enthusiasm of youth, the survivors of Hood's Texas Brigade rallied here today for what will undoubtedly be the most memorial reunion ever held by the members of the famous organization. The roll call at the opening of the reunion this morning showed that nearly every known survivor of the brigade had journeyed to the capital to join in the tribute to be paid to the memory of their old commander tomorrow when the Gen. 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. William R. Hamby, president of Hood's Texas Brigade Association; Hon. John H. Kirby of Houston, who will deliver the oration of the day, and Governor Campbell, who will accept the memorial in behalf of the State of Texas. The monument is nearly fifty feet in height and was erected at a cost of $50,000. It consists of a huge shaft of Georgia granite surmounted by a life-size bronze statute of General Hood.
