THE ADVOCA78 WE CHEERFULLY PUBLISH ALL CRISP NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS. VOLUME X. Temperance Discussion ENGAGES ATTENTION OF WEST VA. FEDERATION OF COL ORED WOMEN'S CLUBS. Licensed Saloon Evil Gets a Rap also From Speakers of State wide Prominence at Annual Gathering of Colored Women's Clubs. Friday and Saturday of last week the West Virginia Federation of Colored Women's clubs held its fifth annual meeting in the First Baptist church on Washington street, Mrs. H. C. A. Washington, of Red Star presided. A large number of delegates from various parts of the State were present. Reports from the clubs were interesting, showing a growth and activity along the lines of social betterment. Among the interesting subjects discussed was "The Temperance movement in West Virginia" by Mrs. B. H. Oxley. The speaker impressed the audience with her earnestness. She pointed out the long train of evils that follow in the wake of the saloon, and urged the Mothers present to arouse themselves to more earnest effort in behalf of temperance for the safety and protection of their sons and daughters. Mrs. Oxley's recitation of facts and figures, showing the large number of men and women who are annually falling victim to the liquor habit, was appalling. Her reference to the terrible suffering endured by defenceless women and helpless children because of the licensed liquor trade was touching and met a hearty response from the hearts of the mothers present. Mrs. M. A. W. Thompson, president of the West Virginia Baptist Woman's Convention, followed Mrs. Oxley with an able address on "The Church and the Saloon." Mrs. Thompson is a leader among the women of her race in West Virginia. She is a pleasing forceful speaker and what she says is listened to with interest. The main thought of her address was the responsibility of the Christian people not to support, but to battle for the cause of temperance. Mrs. Thompson gives the temperance question a large place at the annual meetings of the W. Vn. Baptist Woman's Convention and is herself a strong advocate of temperance and uses her influence over 2,000 Baptist women in the state in that direction. "Suggestion for the Growth of the Club Movement in West Virginia" brought forth some interesting discussions. Mrs. Rosa Thompson, of Charleston, pleased the audience with a solo. "Domestic Science in the Home" was the subject of a very interesting and practical paper by Miss Mary Daubank, head of the department of domestic science at West Virginia Institute. It was generally regretted that the carefully prepared paper read by Miss Eubanks could not be printed for the benefit of the public. Friday evening Miss: Nina Clinton of Charleston, sang "Ave Maria" and delighted the audience. The welcome addresses delivered by Mrs. Mattie Jackson, Rev. E. A. Reed and Miss Ida M. King were cordial and happy. Mrs. E. M. Burgess, of Institute, responded in behalf of the Federation. A solo,"A Dream of That Beautiful City," by Miss Mary Jones, was very much enjoyed. Introductory remarks were made by the president. At the close of the session the delegates and visitors were invited to the banquet tables and the remainder of the evening was spent socially. The Saturday morning session was especially interesting. The reports of the various committees and the election of officers were deferred to the afternoon session. "The Dangers and Prevention of Tuberculosis" by Mrs. Geo. F. Lonsberry was one of the most practical and timely talks given before the organization. Mrs. Lonsberry has always exhibited such a friendly, helpful spirit toward the colored women of Charleston in their efforts at social betterment that she is frequently called on by them to deliver public addresses. The underlying thought of every session was how shall we train our children? and when Mrs. Mary R. McGulgan came before the Federation and discussed "The Dangers of Indulging our Children," she had the hearts and undivided attention of the mothers. She answered many of the very perplexing questions they had been asking with relation to the better training of their children. They evidently had confidence in her suggestion and were truly grateful for the wise counsel and admonition Mrs. McGulgan gave. Mrs. McGuigan has had many years experience as a teacher and has given the question of child training serious consideration. She has always shown a willingness to help whenever called upon. Such kindly feeling has encouraged and inspired the colored women here to nobler efforts. Mrs. Emuice Brown, of Institute, read an interesting paper on "What Women's Clubs Stand For," and Mrs. Mary Lewis, of Charleston, sang a beautiful solo. Mrs. Emma Bowyer, of Charleston, read a paper on "The Proper Care of Children." Mrs. Bowyer has charge of the Day Nursery in the city and her paper was full of practical points on the training and care of children. Mrs. Bowyer expressed a willingness to help the club women whenever it is possible to do so. About thirty delegates and visitors were present. The same officers were retained for the ensuing year. Much of the business was referred to the executive board. The next meeting will be held with the Improvement League of Red Star. Financial Condition OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SHOWS IMPROVEMENT. Secretary's Report An Exhaustive Review of the Work of his Department and Contains Many Recommendations for Future Efficiency. (Regular Correspondence.) Washington, April 20.—Reports submitted by Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, at the thirty-eighth annual meeting the financial board of the denomination, held here yesterday, show that $201,753.26 was raised in "dollar money" during the fiscal year ended April 1. This is an increase of $3,000 over last year's report and of more than $34,000 for the year previous to the last mentioned. The meeting was presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago, who is chairman of the board, Vice Bishop Abraham Grant, who died several months ago. In a touching address, Bishop Parks referred to the life and services of the, deceased prelate, as did a number of members of the board. The late Bishop Lampton, who for six years served as financial secretary, was also eulogized by Bishop Parks and his colleagues. The report of Secretary Hurst was an exhaustive review of the work of his department and contained recommendations for the more efficient carrying on of the work of the denomination in this country and Africa. He also spoke feelingly of the late Bishop Grant, who, at the time of his death, was serving his second consecutive term as chairman of the board, and of the late Bishop Lampton. Dr Hurst was highly commended for the painstaking and business-like way in which he has conducted the department since his election to the post at the general conference, which met in Norfolk, Va., three years ago. The money that passes through the department is raised in subscriptions of one dollar each from the members of the various A. M. E. Churches. The amount raised this year brings the total amount raised through this channel to over $2,000,000. For church maintenance, etc., the proceeds of which do not pass through the financial secretary's hands, over $1,000,000 were raised by churches of the denomination during the past year. Of the money reported by Dr. Hurst 8 per cent. ($16,149.26) was used in furthering the educational work of the denomination; 10 per cent. $20, 175.33) turned over to the Church Exten- sion Society; 36 per cent. ($72, 621.18) retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows, orphans and for mission work, and the remainder ($92,806.50) used for general church needs such as the payment of the salaries of the bishops and other general officers and for other contingencies. The amounts as reported by each Episcopal district follows: First, Bishop Wesley J. Gaines in charges, $13,526.65; second, Bishop Levi J. Coppin, $15,521; third, Bishop W. B. Derrick, $6,535.60; fourth, Bishop C. T. Shaffer, $15,025.48; fifth, Bishop Parks, vice late Bishop Grant, $13,783.41; sixth, Bishop Charles S. Smith, $28,948.01; seventh, Bishop H. F. Loe, $18,787.26; eighth, Bishop H. M. Tarner, vice late Bishop Lampton, $19,934.43; ninth, Bishop J. Flipper, $15,967.13; tenth, Bishop Evans Tyre, $11,210.25; twelfth, Bishop Parks, $21,100.65; thirteenth, West Africa, Bishop W. H. Heard, $156; fourteenth, South Africa, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, $2,985. Besides a large number of visitors at the meeting the following members of the Board were present: Rev A. L. Murray, Atlantic City, N. J. Rev. J. T. Jenifer, Chicago; Rev Charles Bandy, Cleveland, O.; Rev A. J. Carey, Chicago, Ill.; Rev. J. R. Nansom, Topeka, Kan.; Rev. N. P. Sterrett, Charleston, S. C.; Rev W. J. Strong, Jackson, Miss.; Rev. J. M THE ADVOCATE. CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1911 Petty Wins Over Buster THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMO CRATIC REGULAR TICKETS ELECTED MONDAY. Holley Slate Broken Despite Opposition of Two Other Republican Tickets and Efforts of all City Employees, Petty Sweezes Through by a Narrow Margin. That the Holley machine went down to inglorious defeat Monday as a result of the city election is assured by the success of Mr. O. A Petty, candidate on the regular Republican ticket for Board of Affairs Mayor Holley and his personal political machine, including every department of the city government, fought Petty to the last ditch, doing everything in their power to encompass his defeat, but notwithstanding all this, and also that Petty had in opposition to his ticket, two independent Republican tickets, an independent Democratic ticket and the Socialist ticket, he emerged from the fight with a substantial majority, everything considered, and with victory perching on his banner. His majority so far as can be ascertained this afternoon, is thirty-six votes over Bert Buster, present member of the Board of Affairs, candidate on the independent Republican ticket, and favorite of Mayor Holley and his machine. Mr. Petty succeeds Mr. Buster as member of the Board of Affairs. Mr. J. Feree Bedell, candidate on the regular Democratic ticket for Board of Affairs to succeed Captain John Baker White, was elected by a big majority, leading all candidates and will succeed Mayor Holley for the two-year term of mayor beginning in 1913. Mayor Holley has two years yet to serve. With the figures from three precincts unobtainable this afternoon, Mr. Bedell's total vote is 1,324. With the three missing precincts added his vote will be largely increased. The race for board of Affairs was between Mr. Buster on the independent Republican ticket, and Mr. Petty on the regular Republican ticket Mr. Petty received in all 1,202 votes and Mr. Buster 1,166, it therefore appearing that Mr. Petty has a clear majority over Mr. Buster of 36. The figures are not obtainable on the total vote accord Judge Me Whorter on the Citizens' Independent Republican ticket, Mr. Robertson on the Peoples' Independent Democratic ticket, and Mr. Wiggins on the Socialist ticket. Judge Me Whorter, however, received in the neighborhood of 800 votes in all and Mr. Robertson something like 600. Both of these gentlemen were candidates on "dry" tickets, Mr. Wiggins the Socialist candidate for Board of Affairs, states Mr. Boswell editor of the Labor Argus, received about 300 votes in all. In all probability the Democrata and Republican councilman tickers complete have been elected. The Socialists are claiming the election of a councilman, Mr. T. L. Tickle, in the Fisrt ward, but this is denied by both Republicans and Democrats, who insist that the council electoral's evenly divided between the two old parties. In all probability th correct figures on the returns cannot be announced until the vote is canvassed on Saturday. The ballot boxes have been placed in the office of the circuit court clerk and are being closely guarded. While there are rafters of a record being commanded, such deed will hardly be made. Leading Republicans state that if a recaest is bad Mr. Petty's majors will be found to be much larger than appears on the face of the first returns. The canvassing board will convene on Saturday morning, April 22d, and will make official announcement as soon thereafter as the returns can be totalled. Charleston Teacher Dies at Clarksburg Fred D. Cambric, Former Teacher in Local School Dies of Tuberculosis After Long Illness at His Home in Clarkshire: Sunday. Clarksburg, April 17.—Frederic Douglas Cambric, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cambric, died at his home 152 Mechanic street, this city, at 6:40 p.m., yesterday, off urethrosis. Mr. Cambric was born February 15, 1889. He was reared in Clarksburg, where he was graduated from the high school in 1905. He then entered Conner, Little Rock, Ark.; P. C. Hunt, Palestine Tex.; Rev. A. J. Kershaw, Tallahassee, Fla.; Rev. C. H. Shelto, Memphis, Tenn. the West Virginia Colored Institute near Charleston, where he finished a course 4n the commercial department in 1907. Mr. Cambrie was shortly afterward employed by the late Samuel W. Starks in whose services he continued until the reath of Mr. Starks. He was then called to the position of commercial instructor in the colored high school at Charleston, which position he filled with credit until forced to resign on account of falling health. Mr. Cambrie was grand secretary of the Masonic Lodge of West Virginia and was a member of the orders of Elks and Knights of Pythas. He also had interests in the "Mountain Leader," a Negro newspaper, of Charleston. Mr. Cambric leaves behind him a host of friends. His noble and manly conduct, his kind and genial disposition made him one of the most popular young men of his community. The deceased man is survived by a father and mother and two sisters. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence on Mechanic street. The colored Masonic lodge will be in charge. Burial will be in Elkview cemetery. Picked the Wrong Candidate to Win Negro City Employees Lined up With Faction Which Lost in City Election and now They are Wondering When the Lightning Will Strike. The Negro city employees who, appointed as Republicians, wandered from the fold, last fall, and supported Democratic candidates for the reason they thought their personal liberty was endangered by the prohibition plank in the Republican platform, are wondering now if they did not allow their enthusiasm or credulity or both to lead them astray. They "got by" so well in their November defection, when the men they supported were elected, that they yielded to the tempter's blandishments during the campaign for city offices and aligned themselves with the Independent - Republican - Democratic clan. They picked the wrong man, Buster lost out and, hence, this dissquietude. For be it known, certain positions are allotted the Republicans and others the Democrats. Petty, the regular Republican who won against great opposition, reasonably hoped that these aforesaid Republican city employees would, at least, not be "again" him if they could not be for him. On the contrary, every mother's son of the bunch, took the field openly for Buster. Viney, sanitary inspector, was for him. Kent, street pawer was for him. Washington, "Big Chief" DeFonney's assistant at the crematory, was for him. Petty is known not to be of that angelie disposition which turns the left check when the right is smitten. In other words, he may be depended upon to get even. That's what's worrying Messrs. Viney Kent and Washington. Then, too, candidates are beginning already to groom themselves for their places. In the Eighth ward, Henry Burke thinks a blue cap with the words "Sanitary Inspector" embroidered in gold thereon would enhance his peculiar style of beauty. Albert, better known as "Didy," Hackley, is reported to have set his eyes longingly on that same headpiece. The woods are full of street repairer who think they can lay sixteen bricks to Kent's one, and Washington's job of showeling garbage in the crematory furnace would not be so offensive to any of the fourteen candidates that he would refuse the $50,00 per and "pickings" which the job pays. On the other hand, "Big Chief" DeFonney is as cool as a cucumber. Let the winds blow and the rains descend; he is safe and he knows it; for his is a Democratic appointment, and though his political friends "threw him down" in his aspirations to hang up the coats and hats of the members of the House of Delegates, they will keep him on the city pay roll. There will be things doing when Petty goes into office. Until then DeFonney's "Personal Liberty" lieutenants may console themselves with the reflection that others, better skilled in the political game than they, have often made the same mistake. HIS MOTHER A NEGRO And Conners must Serve. Three Years in the Penitentiary for Marrying a White Woman. Ellicott City, Md., April 20—After three white physicians had examined William Conners and declared that they found no traces of Negro blood the State called on his mother to testify that she is a Negro, and he was sentenced to three years in the Maryland Penitentiary on the charge of miscegenation growing out of his marriage to Muncie Breitenbach, a white woman of Baltimore. The woman was not tried at all. Conners had claimed that he was of Indian descent. The sending of Conners to the Penitentiary has aroused indignation and an effort will be made to have him released from prison. For years it has been illegal in Maryland for whites and colored to intermarry. Special Session OF THE LEGISLATURE CALLED BY GOVERNOR GLASSCOCK FOR MAY 1646.

Truth Will Be Tol When Black Man Writes His Own History, Painted In Darkest Colors By Whites To Suit Their Own Purposes, Claims Speaker. --- Dalton, Md., April 19—That there was no inherent inferiority in any of the races of mankind and that the first civilization of the world was one in which the Ethiopian was the chief actor and that the Negro should write history in order that the truth should be known about him and the white man were the contentions made by Dr. H. J. Brown, of this city, in an illustrated lecture on "The Races of Mankind, Scientifically Considered," before the monthly meeting of the Ministerial Alliance Monday. Dr. Brown has traveled in all parts of the world, has given years of patient study to ethology, psychology and kindred subjects and is probably the foremost authority in the race on ethnological topics. In the course of his address the speaker cited opinions from Herodotus, Strabe, Pritchard, Pickering, Volner, Drace, Neber, Baren Von Humboldt, Sir Harry Johnston and other writers in support of his contentions. "Herodotus informs us," said the speaker, "that the Ethiopian of his day had the distinction of being the handsomest and tallest nation in the world, and that this branch was of Hamitic origin from which the primitive Egyptian emerged, proving conclusively that black primeval civilization was the mother of modern white civilization. Prior to this epoch we look in vain, except to discover the white man in the jungles of European forests, clothed in savage attive in the skins of wild animals, living in holes in the ground and tattooing himself. The Chinese regarded his white skin as a badge of inferiority and ignorance. "The primitive Negro has been the molding factor in the world's eventual story. In analyzing the great story of the world's history from the very depths of its childhood up to the present, what has this balloon-headed, swell-headed white man done of which they boast? Not only are his governments and his so-called reforms failures, but every effort of civilization under his management has been, up to this very hour, a most gigantic failure. In the past he has not only been enslaved himself by millions, but he has, in turn, enslaved millions. He was for 2,000 years enslaved before black slavery began. "His present status is war, conquest, plunder, subjugation, appropriation, massacre; the strong over the weak, the large swallowing up the small, the little escaping from the grasping propenilities of the big, injustice standing on the pedestal, violated natural law, destroying the innate sense of right. So accustomed has this so-called white man become in making his deceptive scheme with his perverted sense that he invokes the Sacred Record to endure his barbarous methods. And thus from the white man's so-called Christian civilization of the Nineteen and Twentieth centuries, we behold the unjust, immobilizing spectacle of the whole continent of Africa appropriated among European nations just as cooly as robbing one's neighbor's pocketbook. So that England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal are guilty of robbing Africa of its inhabitors as characterized England in taking possession of India and of America being taken from the Indians. "This paragon Argyan race are now quarreling among themselves as to how they will steal China. The brutality of modern Saxon civilization can be only explained on the principle that the white man seems to be abnormal in his evolution. "The black man has permitted the whites to write his history and paint him in the darkest colors, while the white man writes his own in the brightest colors. We must in the future write our own history and that of the white also. By that means we will be able to snow the contrast between the two and thereby get the truth." The various organizations of the Simpson M. E. and First Baptist churches are preparing for their May Fairs which begin the first week in the month. Miss Virginia Gilmer left Friday for Parkersburg to spend several weeks the guest of Mrs. Clara D. Williams. NUMBER XXVII. BY NEGROES OF TERMINAL WHO MAY LINE UP WITH THE DEMOCRATS Held By Colored Voters Who are Dissatisfied With Hooper and their Listen to Blandishments of the Deposition. (Special To The Advocate) Daphis, Tenn., April 15—The quality of Republican Governor Hopper is not such a wonderful after all. The Independent Democrats and the Republicans who formed the combination to drive Patterson out of politics and "refund" Tennessee are not as powerful after they get on the job as they were before they secured it. The whole thing seems to be crumbling. Harper is square up against a good stiff storm and there are more breakers ahead before he accomplishes the wonderful things he set out to do. Furthermore he has to endure the humiliation of having his veto of the Nashville charter bill turned down by the Senate. The Democratic politicians of Tennessee are going to have some fun with the "Lily White" Republican Governor of Tennessee. When they get through with him at the present gait they are traveling Gov. Hoover will prefer to have it "straight" instead of "half and half" the next time he makes a bid for office. The whiskey and elections law of Tennessee are causing trouble now as they always will be until settled right. Charges of corruption and bribery have been hinted at and "the devil is to pay" for the way the wise legislators of Tennessee are acting. Thirty-four members of the Legislature have emigrated to Decatur, Ala., and other points of the State. Their object was to prevent the repeal of the Manufacturers' Law and of the State-wide Prohibition in application to Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga. They are Fushionists twenty Republicans and fourteen Independent Democrats. It is hard to tell now what good the move can accomplish. There will be no harmony in Tennessee politics as long as the Democrats are split and there will be no permanent Republican success without the aid of the Negro voters. The Republican party organization will find this out eventually and be sorry for pitching the Negro out of its party organization. The Negroes of Tennessee are going to stick close to the Democratic party in 1912. There is a growing disposition among them to lay aside the old traditions connecting them so eternally with the Republican organization. They are in a class by themselves and are bound by no party than whatever. The Democrats of the State are making the strongest bids for the support of the Negro voters and if things continue in their present way when 1912 rolls around the Negroes will help swell the Democratic majority for Governor or Tennessee and President of the United States, if Woodrow Wilson is the Democratic nominee for the nominee. Taft has proven himself to be such a good political "trimmer" and hair-splitter, the Tennessee Negro voters have faith in his methods as remedies for self-preservation. They are making friends fast with their Democratic neighbors and the signs are that they will all be on the same band wagon in the next election. "Taps" will be sounded soon and the Negro political soldiers will march out on dress parade. P. F. Hill has already sounded his call. He may be able to line up the other leaders under his "Independent Colored Republican" Standard. If he succeeds, then there will be some real fun. Hill is not out for office. He has some very positive political convictions and the courage to stand up for them. The Negroes of Tennessee voting solidly for a candidate can elect any man who runs for the office and secures a reasonable share of white voters. They can elect the mayor of Nashville and have a whole heap to say about the man chosen to run Memphis. THREE MEN AND SEVEN HORSEH Hartsville, S. C., April 17—As the result of a fire of unknown origin which consumed the cars of Eph William's Famous Troubadours here on the 5th inst., three men are dead, four seriously, if not totally, burned and seven horses and ponies are either dead or so badly injured that their recovery is not probable.

He graduated from the college in 1890, taking the junior diploma of the University of Cambridge, in England, and after a post-graduate course in classics at Queen's College, in British Guiana, he took the senior diploma of Cambridge. Having studied law for several years, Father Theobald went to Canada in 1904 for the purpose of engaging in the profession.

Gill, D. D., was the preacher. The choir of Monroe St. M. E. Church, of which Rev. Gill is pastor, rendered the music. L. O. Wilson, Grand Chancellor, was present, and delivered a stirring address. The order is having most phenomenal success in this town. Rev. J. T. Wanzer, pastor of Mount Zion Baptist church, left last week for Braddock to spend Easter with his family. W. O. Armstrong and Miss Florence Cobb, the school teachers here, have just returned from a two days' visit to Parkersburg where they went to visit the public schools. They are very much gratified with the results of their visit. Dr. T. H. Nichols, of Huntington, who has been in the city for the past few days, has decided to locate here in the practice of his profession. He has already begun to make his influence felt in the life of the community, and to do all that he can for the moral unlift of the race. All wish him abundant success. The members and friends of Monroe St. M. E. church gave a banquet last Thursday evening in honor of their pastor. Rev. C. C. Gill, and his wife. Rev. Gill has lost been returned for the third year by the Washington Annual Conference which met at Lynchburg, Va., recently. During the two years of his pastorate he has shown himself a faithful and energetic pastor, a vigorous and soul-stirring preacher, and withal a cultured and Christian gentleman of whom any church might well be proud. Solos were sung and addresses delivered after which those present retired and enjoyed a sumptuous repast. It was a fitting expression of appreciation of the services of one whom all of Fairmont delight to honor. George Bell continues ill at his home on Fairmont Ave. Mrs. Susie R. Gill is out after a long slege of typhoid fever. SAVED HIS MOTHER'S LIFE "Four doctors had given me up," writes Mrs. Laura Gaines, of Avoca, La., "and my children and all my friends were looking for me to die, when my son insisted that I use Electric Bitters.

Is Charge Made Against Missing Head of True Reformer's Bank Richmond, Va., April 19—Following close on the report of the receivers of the defunct True Reformers bank, warrants charging R. T. Hill, the missing cashier, with five distinct and separate criminal transactions and Mrs. Agnes B. Reese, the bank book-keeper with ten were issued and steps taken to apprehend the fugitive, Mrs. Reese having given bond. It was found that the book-keeper, evidently at Hill's instigation, had made false entries in her books crediting him at various times with sums aggregating $2,400, though it is understood that other deficiencies will bring the total amount up to something like thirty thousand dollars. Mrs. Reese, it is charged, had also credited her own account with sums at different times to the amount of $110.00. Each checked out the money falsely credited as occasion demanded. Under the Virginia law their offenses are punishable with terms in the penitentiary. NEVER OUT OF WORK The busiest little things ever made are Dr. King's New Life Pills.

The ten passengers escaped injury and the ship was not seriously damaged. The dirigable was to make a non-stop flight from Berlin to Amsterdam. The airship was flying low when the free end of the rope dangling from the car caught beneath great birch tree and severely strained the ship.

Now that the graduation season is near at hand and the hopeful high or normal school graduates may be debating with himself $a_1$ to what higher course offers to him the greatest opportunities in life. The Advocate feels constrained to offer to such advice based upon personal observation and authoritative statistic. For the reason that so many of our young men are thinking of entering upon the study of the profession of medicine, the consideration of this must, perforce, take precedence. In Bulletin number four, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching deals with Medical Education in the United States and Canada. Chapter 1, which is historical and general, treating largely of the number of those practicing medicine in this country, is a strong indictment against overproduction and a strong plea for reduction. It is shown there that on the average there is one doctor for every 368 persons, that in our large cities there is frequently one doctor for every 400 or less, that many small towns with less than 260 inhabitants each have two or three physicians apiece. On the ratio of one physician for each 1000 inhabitants, the least number which authorities hold gives the best results both to the practitioner and the public, it will readily be seen that there is a woful over-crowding in this country. But to place the contention on a more concrete basis, let the reader count the number of physicians in his own town, compare them with its population and figure the result. Bringing the matter nearer home, here in the State of West Virginia, which is the writer's first concern, a glance through the list of cities and towns and a census of its Negro physicians must convince the most doubtful that here, at least, the field has as many laborers as it will support properly for some years to come. There are but few, if any, communities which have not their ratio of Negro physicians and the addition of ten more, distributed in the centers to which they would naturally go would appreciably affect the fortunes of those already located and place a serious handicap on the new comer. In the profession of pharmacy, which is closely allied to medicine, the high-water mark has already been reached. In domestic service railway porters and dining car waiters, hotel waiters and porters and other like vocations are to be found many bright young men qualified to compound medicines, but prevented from doing so by the over-crowding of their profession. The time is near at hand when the present yearly production of our medical colleges will result in forcing their graduates into similar channels, into work far below the station for which they have spent time and money in fitting themselves. Space does not permit a detailed discussion of this subject, but the object aimed at will be reached by the Negro youth who, having arrived at the conclusion, either from within or without, that "the country needs more doctors", will respond to his decision to be a "doctor" and will seek all the information obtainable before launching out upon his life work. PETTYS VICTORY Little Peterkin's "glorious victory" estimate of a certain sanguinary engagement may be properly used as descriptive of the battle of the ballots won by O. A. Petty, the regular Republican candidate for board of Affairs in the municipal election held here Monday. Mignogain against Mr. Petty were the "city" element of his own party and an independent Republican who received the whole support of the city administration from mayor to street cleaner. Even in the ranks of those who boasted of their "regularly" were some who hesitated long, until the last hours of the contest, before coming forward with the much needed reinforcement. In the face of this opposition, the Petty ticket was victorious. Yes, it was a glorious victory, glorious net alone in its personal aspect but in its future possibilities for the Republican Party of Charleston in Kanawha County, and the State of West Virginia. It demonstrated that a militant candidate has a chance, that the Republican party of Charleston, though divided, may still conquer and that, in as far as the politics of this city affect the county and the State, there will be a square deal in all future elections which affect them. The Republican party may now look to the placing in those positions allotted to it of men who will not bend the pregnant hinges of the knee before the Democratic half of the administration, but of men tried and true, who may be depended upon to further the interests of the organization which they represent and, at the same time, to work for the upbuilding of a greater and better Charleston. The victory Monday should encourage those who were disheartened and doubted the ability of the party to "come back"; it should spur the hopeful to greater exertions in the future. The dark cloud of last November is at last showing a silver lining. Future victories are as sured if all differences are now sank and all factions get together. IS THE NEGRO WANTED? This paper is in receipt of literature explaining "The Men and Religion Forward Movement", which has selected Charleston among other cities as a seat for the advancement of its work, and we have read about the anti-tuberculosis campaign soon to be inaugurated by local philanthropists. Being a little "tonious" on the color question and disinclined to "butt in" where our presence is not specifically requested. The Advocate rises to ask if the invitation to all includes the people which it represents. The reason for requesting more light on this subject is that some of us have discovered to our embarkment that invitations so worded have meant "all white people", that the Negro who accepted them at their face value has frequently learned not from the word spoken but from actions that he was undesirable, that he was simply tolerated. If the leaders of "the Men and Religion Forward Movement" really wish to save black as well as white souls, the path of least resistance for them is through black men who are engaged in this work. If the anti-tuberculosis crusaders would disseminate their information among those who furnish the most victim for the great white plague, they should get the assistance of those nearest to the people they desire to reach, assistance which may be bad for the asking. There are among the Negro people of this city men and women anxious to lend whatever aid they can to the advancement of all movements looking to the betterment of the whole. They are ready to give of their time and money to forward our plan designed to benefit all alike. The only condition is that those having the work in charge make it known that their services are desired. Are we wanted as volunteers in these campaigns for spiritual and physical betterment? IS HELL A VICTIM? Commenting upon the mysterious disappearance of R. T. Hill, cashier of the defunct True Reformers' bank the Florida Sentinel was very positive in the expression of its opinion that Hill was innocent of any wrong doing. It dwelt largely upon his Christian character, his connection with various religious and charitable organizations, and intimated that Hill was the victim of designing men in the Order. Hill may have pin feathers on his shoulder blades where wings will later show, but most of the recovery would lead to the belief that with all his saintliness, he was a time but a victim. In fact, it seems that this shortage, covering, as it does, several months, was not only willful but premediated. If he drew money from the bank, criminally credited to his account, as charged his crime is of no less magnitude in the eyes of the law than if he had appropriated it without the connivance of his book-keeper. There is no joy in Hill's downfall. No one should rejoice when a good man goes wrong, but if, as a result of his populations, the poor and needy find their condition jeopardy, there will be no university; desire that justice be tempered with mercy in punishing him for his misdeeds. OFF THE EARTH The Morning Star, a Boston weekly, published by the Free Baptists, evidently entertain, the opinion of Texas so forcefully if not elegantly expressed by General Sherman when he said that if he owned the Lone Star State and he would live in the latter and reate the former to the first applicant. Commenting upon a "manoeuvre incident of special interest to The Advocate's readers, the Star says. "The 9th Cavalry of the U. S. Army is composed of Negroes. They were a part of the forces stationed 250 Students registered at the West Virginia Colored Institute in the Fall term of 1910. Ten States and Africa were represented.

Bring the representative and defenders of a great nation they resented being assigned to inferior seats in the Jim Crow and of the San Antonio streets when they wanted to carve slings and on several occasions they tried to obey the conductors who ordered them to the inferior seats. This led to protests from the Mayor and other officials of San Antonio and the result is that President Taft has ordered the colored troops out on to the sandy frontier to do patrol duty, tar from Jim Crow cars and from the San Antonio Negro haters. Madero and his rebellious Mexicans should cross the border with their guns loaded. The San Antonio people would doubtless be glad to be protected by these Negro troopers. But the sandpiers or something else objected and the Negros were withdrawn from the sandy patrols and ordered to Brownsville. But that was immediately seen to be unwise and that order was cancelled. What next we don't know. Why not order them aloft to do patrol work in airships? Sending them towards heaven would be likely to avoid all contact with sensitive Texans." What a nice way of saying the Tevans are Hell bent, as some of our protane editors would have put it. LITERARY NOTES Among English novelists of the present day John Galsworthy has taken his place as distinguished for a literary style which preserves the best traditions and an extremely modern view of character and situation. Both in plays and novels he has corpseously pushed to the front. In Scribner's Magazine for May will appear a beautiful oneact play entitled "The Little Dream", though written in press it is full of poeticalities. In the May number of Scribner's Price Collier describes his visits to the native rulers of India—modern Maharajas like the Gakwar of Baraoda, who has been in this country and has a son at Harvard; and conservatives who never leave India—and back in the Middle Age. "There are gone in these native chids, big and little, who owe their first alliance to the British government. George B. McClellan, former Navy or of New York City, who spent eight years in Congress, will contribute to the May Scribner a paper founded on his observation of "Leadership in the bodies of Representatives." In it he pays a striking tribute to Speaker Reed as one of the greatest Americans. Mr. McClellan is now in Europe engaged in literary work. Keaven Cox, the eminent artist, contributes to the May Scribner a paper entitled "The Classical Spirit in Lighting" in which he makes a plea for the preservation of all the best traditions. While believing that American art is far below what the art of France was in the early part of the nineteenth century, he says "But just as certainly, is it the best art now being produced in the world that has the most in common with the great art of the past and the largest promise for the art of the future." Among the amusing war reminiscences by Mrs. Burton Harrison in the May Scribner is an account of private theatricals in Richmond in which Generals J. E. B. Stuart and "Fitz" Lee took part. Frank Briggwyn, the eminent English painter and decorator, has of recent years gained a great reputation for his etchings, many of which are in the public galleries of Europe. In the May Scribnbok this phase of Briggwyn's activities will be described and illustrated.

The series of character sketches by Dorothy Canfield which have appeared in the last few numbers of Scribner's Magazine have called attention to a new writer of peculiarly sympathetic power in depicting unusual characters. The author lives in a small town in Vermont. The May Scribner contains "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful!"—another vivid impression of New England character. Veronese's "Mars and Venus," the recent notable purchase of the Metropolitan Museum, is written about most sympathetically in the May Scribner by Kenyon Cex. There is one thing about the Socialist party in Congress that will be the envy of the others. "He" can hold a cacus at any time and command a unanimous vote on any question. It appears that there is a strong sentiment in Canada against the admission of certain American "colored" products under an agreement.

Was That Which United Miss Helen Thomas and John H. Murphy Jr., Baltimore Instructor. Baltimore, April 20—Miss Helen F. Thomas and Mr. John H. Murphy, Jr., were the principals in a fashionable wedding last night at the Episcopal Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin. Beautifully attired in a taifor-made of champagne broadcloth and wearing a hat of black and white stray, the bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, Mr. Henry Thomas, by whom she was given away at the altar. The ceremony was performed by Rev. George Griffith, rector of the church. Miss Alice Thomas, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor. She wore a gown of delicate canary messaline and a Neapolitan hat. The best man was Mr. Carl Murphy, a brother of the groom. The ushers were Messrs Lloyd Thomas, D. Arnett Murphy, John H. Hampton, James A. B. Calis Walter J. Thornton and W. W. Hughes. A reception followed the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Murphy are now spending their honeymoon in Montgomery county, Md. They will be at home at 1234 Druid Hill avenue after the first of May. The groom has been an instructor of printing in Colored High school for the past seven years. He is also associated with his father in the publication of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. lex THE Reflexlier ```markdown ``` THROWS of its l The best and ever placed I will place on ness house or these famous vince you of P.

Glasscock did not limit the legislature to the passage of a blanket primary election law, in his proclamation, convening that body on May 16th next. He designates for its consideration "the selection of political party committees and the holding of political party conventions" an well as a primary election law. Had this liberal view been entertained at the session of 1909, a great deal of the political trouble we had last year would never have occurred. Many of our political misfortunes, including the loss of two United States Senators, might have been avoided, and no extraordinary session would have been necessary. A law governing the holding of primary elections and conventions, and stripping political committees of undue, unnecessary and corrupting powers, would have been passed. A few amendments to the Hatfield bill, passed by the senate and received with rage and scorn by the house, would have done the work. Now when the legislature assembles, let the gentlemen who have put measures prepared disabuse their minds of the foolish idea that a principle can be carried into effect in only one way and that their way. It is proverbial that there are more ways than one to kill a dog, but it is often forgotten in these days of fad legislation and law making more to get votes for temporary and immediate purposes. What the people really want is legislation that will put an end to primary election, convention and committee thefts and robberies, and they don't care what form it takes or who its author is. Nor do they regard a political platform as having the character of the laws of the Medes and Persians. They are practical, not theoretical. They don't believe a political promise is worthy of redemption, unless performance of it will bring just results. Their common, horse sense tells them a legislator has no right to lay aside his judgment and put his official oath out of mind, while he redeems a platform pledge, just because a handful of the members of his party made it on the impulse of the moment, and in the excitement of a convention. To reduce all this into a single sentence, let the members of the legislature and the party leaders reason together and pass/a law dictated only by their good sense and honest judgment.—State Gazette (Point Pleasant.) Whatever may be the attitude of the politicians of both parties in regard to the primary election law, there can be no doubt that a vast majority of the people of the state, regardless of political affiliations, favor such a law. And they should favor it, for it is a measure intended to restore to them the power that has wrongfully been taken from them by the political bosses.—Huntington Advertiser. Governor Glasscock has called the legislature to meet in special session next month for the purpose of passing a primary law and amending the corrupt practices act, but did not fail to add in his call a provision by which the senators and delegates may draw their pay. This is a step on the part of the governor which will call forth a considerable amount of criticism. The legislature was in session for some time this winter and failed to pass such laws as the governor asked for and it is hardly to be supposed that the same legislators are any more favorable to such action now that they were a month or two ago. It is an expense to the state that is hardly worth the while, even if the laws asked for are enacted. If it would come at some other season of the year it might prove a desirable outing for the members from this part of the state at least, as they would draw nearly a hundred dollars mileage and that would go far toward giving them considerable expense money for a stay along the Kanawha. It may be that the governor has assurances that his measures will pass from a sufficient number of members, but there are many who are antagonistic to any measures that are proposed by the administration and the chances are that the special session will be a very short one or one long drawn out, with nothing accomplished in either instance.—Martinsburg World. At last Governor Glasscock has called the extra session of the legislature but it remains to be seen whether anything will be done. The matters he has outlined for the sec- sion are important enough for consideration by the legislature but whether for an extra session is where many will differ with his excellency.—Daily Oil Review. Having contributed all in his power to the prevention of legislature for 17 days at the regular session, Gov. Glasscock now calls an extra session of the Legislature to consider part of the unfinished business —a State primary law. He includes also in his call the subject of corrent practices in primaries and conventions or in a caucus, and mentions with repeated and marked emphasis the office of U. S. Senator. We suppose he wants to be understood as favoring an investigation of the bribery charges. While the Governor may imagine he is playing politics in this matter; we hope the Democrats of the Legislature will use the opportunity to make a genuine and searching investigation. It is the one supreme duty of the hour to their party and their State. That it was not performed at the regular session is to the great discredit of peace or confidence until this "demand spot" is removed. We hope the Legislature will also pass just and equitable judicial and legislative redistricting bills. The plain mandate of the Constitution on this subject is binding on the Legislature, regardless of its omission from his call by the Governor in the interest of petty politics.—Monroe Watchman. Governor Glasscock after due deliberation and conferences with many leading politicians of the state has called the legislature to meet in extra session. Opinions on this matter have been at variance and the advisability of the extra session is doubted by many. Now that it has been called it is the duty of every loyal citizen of West Virginia to stand by the governor in the matter and use every honest endeavor to secure the enactment of the measures included in the call. Let us hope that party bickering will be eliminated at this session and that the good of the people will be considered. That a primary law is needed is acknowledged. That our law makers are capable of enacting such a law and one that will fair to all parties, goes without saying. Now let them do it. -Cameron Star-Tribune. It will take a very strongly drawn primary election law, to prevent skulduggery under it. As primary elections have been conducted in West Virginia for several years, they have been more corrupt and iniquitous than conventions. After all the old-fashioned delegate conventions, with but few men in it and they of the salt of any party, was the best thing to nominate, candidates honest ly and fairly that has ever been trled.—Berkeley State Journal. Governor Glasscock has called an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of enacting an adequate primary election law for the state of West Virginia. While The Dispatch-News has in the past questioned the necessity or wisdom or an extra session, owing to the evident inability of the present legislature to accomplish needed legislation, yet it trusts that the object of Governor Glasscock will be accomplished. That this state is sadly in need of adequate election laws is undoubted. We possess neither sufficiently stringent primary nor general election laws and the result is that political corruption has run rampant through the length and breadth of the state for many years. The passage and enforcement of a primary law which will open the doors of the penitentiary to illegal voters, changers of returns and ballot box stuffers will be a long step toward the purification of politics in this state.—Wheeling Dispatch-News. Governor Glasscock has issued a call for an extraordinary session of the legislature as he stated at the close of the regular session he would do. The program outlined by him will be up to the legislature to pass upon, and there is more than a possibility that that body may adopt an additional program. The outcome will show the wisdom of the governor's action. Until then there are many doubling Thomases. It is true that both leading political parties are pledged on pass a primary election bill, but with all the earnest effort the Republican end of former legislature to arrive at a suitable measure, it went by default. It is scarcely to be presumed that the present legislature on either side is as well constituted to pass a bill of the kind. However, Governor Glasscock promised the people to use his best efforts along this line, and, if he succeeds, it will be quite an achievement. If he does not succeed, it can not be said of him that he neglected to try earnestly.—Clarksville Telegram. The time for speculation as whether Governor Glasscock will call an extra session of the legislature is past as he has fixed by an official proclamation the date on which the legislators will be assembled of passing a primary election law and that date is May 16. He has not included anything in this call to occupy the time of the legislature except the primary election, amendments to corrupt practices act, a kindred subject and the appropriations for the expense of the session. This brings this long delayed measure to the center of the stage and it is now a question of carrying out the programme of the Governor or the repudiation of the platform pledges of both parties. A goodly primary election law is badly needed. The majority of the people want it and while there will be opposition from some sections of the State still it is a measure that n the belief of most good to the greatest number of our people and will no doubt be passed unless the special interests can marshall a force strong enough to defeat it. While the Governor has had considerable opposition to his idea of calling an extra session he ha had the encouragement of leading citizens from all sections of the State including many prominent Democrats who approve his course. From present indications the programme of the Governor will be carried out and the much delayed primary law will be placed upon the statute books.—Fairmont West Virginia.

Veteran of Mexican Trouble Remembered by His Work Huntsville, Texas, April 21.—The memory of General Sam Houston, who 75 years ago today broke the power of the Mexicans by administering a decisive defeat to the forces of Santa Anna in the battle of San Jacinto, was fittingly honored today by the unveiling of a handsome monument over the grave of the famous soldier and statesman in the Huntsville cemetery. The unveiling was an event of State-wide interest. Visitors from every section of Texas attended, among them being many members of the Society of the Daughters of the Texas Republic, whose annual convention has been in session here this week. Several members of the Houston family were present as guests of honor, together with W. P. Zuber and Alonzo Steele, the only survivors of the battle of San Jacinto. The committee in charge of arrangements was fortunate in securing William J. Bryan to deliver the principal address at the unveiling exercises. The monument, which cost $10,060, was erected through an appropriation of the Texas legislature. The memorial consists of a low granite shaft bearing a bas-relief figure of General Houston, mounted upon his favorite charger, with his hat. In one hand waving his troops onward in their attack upon the forces of Santa Arna in the battle of San Jacinto. Upon the two sides of the main shaft are allegorical figures representing war and peace. Upon the reverse side of the shaft appears the Masonic emblem. The memorial was designed by Pompeo Coppini. WOMAN DRAWS FINE FOR ASSAULTING ANOTHER Squire Atkin-on last night found Debia Shamblin guilty of assault and battery upon the person of Mrs. Mylee Cleeningham, and of using profane language. She received a fine of $5 and costs for the first named offense and $1 and costs for the second charge. The story of the affair is that of "a wong in the case." Mrs. Alexander and her husband separated, the husband taking the three children. Later the unhappy couple were divorced and Debia Shamblin installed in the husband's house as housekeeper. A short time ago, the former wife went to the house to see her children and found them with few clothes to wear. She left and camp back with some money for them but at first was not permitted to see her own children. While at the front gate talking to the eldest one, the Shamblin woman is alleged to have come out with an iron poker and with very profane language struck the plaintiff with the weapon. The warrant for the Shamblin woman's arrest followed and she was tried in Squire Atkinson's court. CHARLESTONIANS LIKE AND GET BEST OF ALL FOR THEY DEMAND IT Whether or not there is a larger population in Charleston during the recent Easter season than there has been during the several years we have been in business here, I don't known "remarked S. C. Cregg, of the Charleston Cut" Flower and Plant Company this morning" but when Mr. Winter and I went over the books to determine what we had done during the Easter season in comparison with other years we found that the sales were much heavier and that a better class of goods was demanded. Many new customers patronized during the season and the demand for plants was far beyond our expectations. "Charleston people have become educated to use the best and the most perfect in the line of plants and flowers and their demands were very pronounced this year. Our sales were larger than ever before and we really had difficulty in supplying all the customers who sent in orders for the finest in our line. We have been overworked and so have our employees for the past several weeks, but we got through the season handily and are pleased with the expressions of commendation that have come into the store from customers since the big orders were filled. "Many persons don't realize the fact, but from Charleston several carloads of Easter flowers were shipped to points along the railroads radiating from this city during the several days before Easter Sunday. We filled a number of big orders even larger than any of those we had in the city, and of course the other florists did the same. We are highly pleased with the business we did and I have heard similar expressions from the other dealers since last Sunday." JEFFERS GETS TIME TO GET HIS WITNESSES Upon motion of the counsel for the defense, who stated that the absence of important witnesses would weaken his case, Judge Black this morning continued the trial of Perry Jeffers. Indicted a short time ago for a series of thefts from various wholesale merchants, and set the case for the first day of next June. Jeffers was released under $1000 bond with C. B. Bohnert as surety.

Mitch Mullins Tries Razor on His Arm With Bad Effect WAS CAUGHT ROBBING MINE Mitch Mullins, imprisoned in the county jail awaiting trial for shooting a man several months ago when he was caught in the act of robbing a mine, attempted to take his own life this afternoon about 1:30 o'clock by slashing his left arm below the elbow with a razor. Fortunately the jailer happened to be near and quickly telephoned for a physician. Drs. Mairs and McMillan responded, and dressed his wounds. While the cut was serious, two tendons of muscles in the forearm having been severed completely, the attending physicians say that he will recover. Mullins claims that the wound was the result of an accident while stropping his razor preparatory to shaving. It is said, however, that he stated yesterday to several fellow prisoners that he would not be there by Saturday night, and from this statement it is believed that he hoped to injure himself to such a degree that he would be taken to a hospital and thus have a chance to escape. Mullins is a man with a bad reputation and has been a fugitive from justice for about two years. Just recently he was arrested through the efforts of Deputy United States Marshal Howard Smith. Capt James L. Pratt, of the Quartermaster's Department, and Capt. J. E. Robins, of the Medical Department, left today on No. 3 for the maneuver camp in Texas. The two officers will leave the C. & O. at Cincinnati, and go to St. Louis by way of the Big Four. From there the Iron Mountain route will be used as far as Longview, Texas, while the remainder of the trip to San Antonio will be via the Gulf Northern. This contingent is the second case from West Virginia and will remain at the maneuver camp for over two weeks, the complete trip consuming three weeks' time. The officers expect to arrive at their destination Monday evening at 7:45 o'clock. KICKED BY A MAD HORSE.

They bring the farm nearer the city, the products of the farm nearer the market. After all, it is from the soil that the State's pros- perity comes. 1k costs some of our Greenbrier and Menroe farmers more to bring their produce over rough, steep and muddy roads to a railroad Gepot than it dees to ship it from there to New York. I was told that a farmer sold his farm, situated stc miles from a raiiread town, for $7,- 000, its full valuation; within two years the road leading by this farm was graded and ‘macadamized, and ther the purchaser sold it for 315, 000 from the fact that Ne contd haul two loads every day in the year, and much easier on his team with four times mere than the former farmer who only made one load per day part of the year. Thus the good graded road brought his farm four times nearer the market and more than doubled what he paid for it two years before. Good roads make the farms attractive and accessible, and it must follow that many farmer Loys would stay at home in place of going to the cities.
