And Remarkable Increase in Membership and Finance is Reported By His Predecessor—Harry Cummins of Baltimore, Delivers Forceful Address. Montgomery, Aug. 12.—The 23d biennial session of the Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. O. F., which came to a close Friday night was by far the most memorable and most auspicious of any grand lodge of the order convened in the State. The citizens of Montgomery regardless of fraternal associations threw open their doors and larders to the visiting delegates, and the large number of visitors that such occasions always attract. At eleven o'clock, Wednesday, the Grand Master, John S. Noel, and the Hoh. Harry Cummins, of Baltimore, headed the procession that marched to strains of stirring music through the streets of the city to the opera house, where, under the supervision of the Grand Master, the welcome and responsive addresses were listened to. The city recorder represented the mayor of the City who was sick, and delivered a spirited and cordial welcome to the order. The freedom of the city was placed at the disposal of the visitors, and the recorder made many friends for himself by the Frank and fearless manner in which he treated questions that affect the peace and prosperity of the race. Chifof Deputy Grand Master Fred R. Ramer responded to the welcome of the city in a masterly and eloquent effort. Mr. Ramer was frequently interrupted by applause. Miss Lola Lavender, Mrs. Lewis of Emerson, Ohio, Rev D. C. Leans, J. B. Straughter and J. H. Craggart represented the various divisions of theaternity and edifice of the city, including the arts, arts and responsive addresses. His Excellency, Gov. Wm. B. Glasscock, who was the feature orator of the day, was unable to be present, but sent a telegram of regret explaining his absence, and expressing his interest in the work of the order. The audience was highly entertained by the music of the Montgomery and Eagle bands, the First Baptist church choir, and the piano solo of little Miss Hughes, of Huntington. The order returned to the hall where it was dismissed until 2:30 p.m., when the citizens gathered on the spacious lawn of the Ex-Senator Davis from the porch of whose house the aged Senator, introduced by the Grand Master, made a forcible address to the audience. The Senator's remarks, were pointed with many emphatic utterances in his belief in the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and his undying trust in the great possibilities for development along every line of the representatives of the G. U. O. O. F. of West Virginia and the United States. The Senator was applauded to the echo. After these demonstrations had ceased, the Grand Master in an eloquent style, presented the Hon. Harry S. Cummins, Attorney General of the order, Councilman of the City of Baltimore, and nominator of Ex-President Roosevelt, to the audience. Mr. Cummins was at his best, and began his remarks by congratulating the people of Montgomery that they lived in the great State of West Virginia. He congratulated the order that it had been led to such heights of prosperity under the leadership of the Hon. John S. Noel, and paid a high compliment to the Grand Master, by eloquently describing how well he stood in the councils of the S. C. of M., the chief governing body of the order in North America. He then spoke of the work that Odd Fellowship was doing for the race and nation, and for an hour, in an eloquent manner hold his audience in closest attention. In the afternoon, the credential committee began its deliberations, and the business of the Grand Lodge was suspended at night for the banquet. Conflicting meetings prevented many from attending the banquet, but the fair sized crowd made up in enjoyment what it lacked in numbers. The regular routine of business was taken up Thursday and Friday and quickly dispatched. At 2:30 Friday afternoon, District Grand Master John S. Noel, who was elected a member of the sub-committee of management at the meeting of the B. M. C. at Baltimore, arose and placed Fred R. Ramer in nomination for District Grand Master. In his speech, the Grand Master reviewed the history of the order from the time, of his first election down to the present, showing an increase of membership from 240 to more than 3,000, and a treasury of $447 to a treasury of $8,000. The nomination was seconded by G. W. Hughes and Fred R. Ramet was elected by nomination. The other officers for the ensuing year are: Deputy District Grand Master—M. B. G. Fry. Grand District Secretary—J. M. Trice. Grand District Preasurer—Floyd Ross. Grand Director—W. S. Reese. Odd Fellows Mutual Endowment Association: President—W. L. Jones. Secretary—G. W. Hughes. Treasurer—Mathew Buster. Medical Register—Dr. B. A. Critch- low. Board of Directors: J. B. Morls, R. W. Harris, L. E. Johnson, J. Frank Briscoe, Dr. B. F. White. Denies He Used Uufair Methods Columbus Gordon Says He Did Not Disfranchise Any Lodges in Order to Be Elected Head of the Fishermen. Baltimore, Md., August 16—Following the issuance of a statement by Joseph P. Evans, of this city, in which he alleged that the reason that Columbus Gordon defeated him for grand ruler of the Gallilean Fishermen the other day was because some of the lodges were disfranchised, and also that Rev. T. H. Shorts was unduly active in behalf of Mr. Gordon, the latter has issued a mild-tempered statement denying Mr. Evan's allegations. It was Dr. Evans who went to court and secured a receivership for the endowment department of the order, following the failure of the bank at Hampton last fall. Mr. Evans also led the forces that elected Mr. Gordon National Grand Ruler last year. "I feel it but proper and right," says Mr. Gordon, "to deny all of the allegations in the statement made by Dr. Evans. I have been in the order for 39 years, "30 of which I served as National Grand Secretary. During the 30 years that I served as secretary, the National Grand Ruler always sent out the proclamations calling attention to the grand session and this was done without seeking my approval or co-operation. I must say that I took all the names of lodges that appeared on the records of the endowment department, and sent out the proclamations accordingly. I have not been dictated to by any man, and have always tried to do my duty. At the last annual session at Harrisburg, Pa., and in the one here, I did not ask or seek the support of any man or woman. I look to see our order again rise to the front, but will be the help of those who are keenly interested in the rehabilitation of the Gallilean fishermen." There is some talk here that the attack that Mr. Evans has made on Rev. Shorts, whom he alleges was responsible for the loss of $35,000 of the people's money, may bring about some indictments as happened with the True Reformers last week. Church Sold For Debt Colored Church, Ninety Years Old, is Sold Because. Congregation Could Not Pay Interest on Mortgage. Trenton, N. J., August 11.—The Mohtt Pisgah African Methodist Church, the oldest church with a colored congregation in Princeton, with a history extending back over ninety years, was sold at public sale in the office of Sheriff Freudenmacher yesterday afternoon. The sale followed as the result of a foreclosure, suit on a mortgage of $4,500, held by Lloyd M. Grover of Princeton. The church was bought by William Moore of that place for $5,350. As influential members of the congregation, numbering among them some of the oldest of the colored community who have worshipped in the edifice for years, are said to be anxious not finally to lose title to the place, the property will be held, in the event of the members of the church later wishing to acquire the building. Although the Mount Pisgah Church was the first for colored worshippers established in Princeton, two other edifices have been erected since it was built, and of late years the attendance fell off, so that the interest on the mortgage was not met when it fell due. The foreclosure suit followed. The Rev. W. R. Gullins of Germantown, is pastor of the church. PACE GRAND EXAULTED RULER. Boston, Mass., August 15—The Grand Lodge Elks adjourned Friday to meet in Dayton, O. next year. H. H, Pace, of Memphis, Tenn., was elected grand exalted ruler to succeed J. Frank Wheaton, of New York. THE ADVOCATE. Insurgents Rule Roost IN BOTH PARTIES, DESPITE HARMONY TALK, SAYS EX-SENATOR MONTGOMERY. New Regime Needed He Thinks, To Swing State For Taft, —Name of Col. Hodges Again Brought to the Fore as Democ- ratic Candidate for Governor. --- West Virginia is bristling with insurgency, says the local correspondent of the Cinchinati Enquirer. The germ has infested both of the old political parties, but after the setback of last November the Republicans are again convalescent, while the Democratic brethren now have the disease in a most virulent form, and unless there is a change soon for the better it does not require the services of an extraordinary diagnosticist to predict what the patient is going to do. Sixteen years of power, during which time the rights of the "deer peepul" were sometimes forgotten and at other times ignored, caused a rift in the Republican lining last fall and an alert Democracy, taking advantage of the situation, rode to victory. Emjoying the fruits of victory for less than a year the Democrats find themselves riding down stream in the same canoe that overturned with the Republicans. Since the Republican defeat of last November that party has been in the hands of Dr. Glassock. That celebrated physician, once or twice, has been in consultation with Dr. Taft. They have recommended a change of treatment and they expect the State Central Committee to to fill the prescription when that august and dignified tribunal meets at Charleston in September. They will not promise to be responsible for the patient unless the medicine is administered according to directions. 'In the meantime they do not expect the germs to multiply in abundance. Proof is evident, however, that the insurgency germ is still working. It cropped out at Morgantown during the past week when former State Senator Sam B. Montgomery, of Tunnelton, while Grand Chancelloring around the state for the Pythians, expressed himself that President Taft could not look to the leaders of the old regime to carry this state for him in the year 1912, when he is expected to need it most. The old guard, according to Chancellor Sam, can give him the delegation to the national convention, but they cannot deliver the vote which will be carried to the Electoral College. To be successful in 1912 there will have to be new leadership is the advice of Senator Montgomery to his fellow. Republicans. The old leadership, he declared, will not suffice for the reason that confidence is lost. The leader of the insurgents in old Preston, so far as he is concerned, is going to be regular, but there are a few voters with whom he comes in contact over the state, and he is quite capable of citing their position. Among the Democratic brethren who are wont to insurge against the present leadership of the party there are none who can insurge with the same effect as George Washington Bland, State Senator from the Twelfth District. His recent entry into the journalistic field has given him the opportunity of paying his respects to those Democratic journals which denounced him last winter for bolting the choice of the Democratic caucus in the senatorial elections. And having a pretty accurate knowledge of the inside game as she was played, he certainly can lay on the lash with telling effect. Ask John J. Cornwell, erstwhile idol. Senator Bland has some able aids in George C. Curtis, of Brookie County; Editor C. O. Brazile, of Logan; Shrley Mitchell, of Wirt, and Editor Litsinger, of Grafton, but the Doddridge Senator is the boldest insurgent of them all. He has already taken a bold stand in opposition to the re-election of Senator C. W. Watson, and as a specialty is dealing in pen pictures of some of the Democratic leaders of the Legislature. One of those who recently came in contact with Senator Bland was ex-Governor Wm. A. MacCorkie, now State Senator from the Eighth District. The former Governor was taken down the hill in a roller coaster, bumped at the bottom, his hirsute adornment pulled, and was then notified that if he was tended the Democratic nomination for Governor there were 10,000 Democrats who would refuse to support the man who tried to emasculate the Wilson tariff bill. Senator MacCorkie, owing to his ab sence abreed, was unable to appreciate the lambasting. To the defense of the former Governor rushed John J. Gorswell, himself an editor and railroad prohistor. Cornwell designated Senator Bland and his aides as the Camurra in the Democratic politics of West Virginia, appealed for party harmony and gently twitted the Dondridge Senator on the ground of party loyalty. Did Bland reply? Well, I guess he did. He told the Romney editor that he needed a clean bill of health himself before he went out of the road to clear the skirts of another, and asserted that if Cornwell, gubernatorial candidate in 1904, wished to know how he stood with the insurgent Democrats let, him secure a place on the next state ticket. Cornwell, however, can come back, and he did. He told Senator Bland that all the virtue in the world was not wrapped up within his own garments. He put several questions to the West Union editor, to which answer is yet to be made, inquiring if Senator Bland, when a candidate for election to the State Senate, had any appealed to Senator Watson for financial assistance; if he was not an employee of a subsidiary concern of the Standard Oil Company and had demanded an increase or salary from his employers soon after his election to the State Senate. Editor Cornwell also inquired if the State Senator also did not have an ante-election agreement with Wm. P. Hubbard to support Hubbard for the United States Senate if the Legislature was of Republican persuasion in return for which he received financial support from Hubbard. These numerous outbreaks of insurgency have the leaders worried. While they realize that the insurgents have not sufficient strength to dictate dominations or party platforms, they understand that the insurgent vote is no mere trifle in the general election, and before the campaign is on there will be earnest efforts to placate those who are making the loudest noises. Senator Bland is one of those who are not enamored of the Democratic possibilities mentioned as the gubernational candidate next year. He has a possibility of his own, whose claims he is trying before any other is to be considered. The Doddridge senator said this week that Colonel Thomas in Hedges, of Morgantown, President elect of the West Virginia University, was the one Democrat upon whom all the Democratic factions could unite. Hedges was a gubernational candidate three years ago, but was beaten for the nomination by Louis Bennett. He then retired from active politics and was appointed by Governor Glasscock on the State Board of Control, and later was chosen to the Presidency of the State University by a Republican Board of Regents, although he is a Democrat. Quite recently the name of Colonel Hodges was suggested as a gubernatorial candidate in 1912. He then stated that it was his ambition to serve the state at the university, that he had made an absolute retirement from the political game, and could not accept the Democratic nomination for Governor even if it was tendered him. Bland believes that John J. Cornwell, Senator Sam V. Woods, Stuart W. Walker and Senator W. A. MacCorkie are ineligible and predicts that they would lose 10,000 Democratic votes in the state. ```markdown ``` Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, will have to fight for the West Virginia delegation to the next national convention. For some time it seemed that sentiment for the Ohio executive was so overwhelming that it looked like a solid delegation from the Panhandle state for Ohio's Democratic favorite son. It is apparent, however, that sentiment for Woodrow Wilson has grown rapidly during the past few weeks. Away over in the Eastern Pan-handle former State Senator W. C. Campbell is running the name of Wilson as the choice of the West Virginia Democracy for the Presidency, while down in the southern section Albert Sidney Johnson is whoooping it up for the college professor in Monroe County, Chairman Oscar Underwood, of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, also has cut in on the Harmon following. The West Virginia congressional delegation is pleased with greesman Underwood, and it becomes an active candidate for the Presidency he is going to exhibit plenty of strength in the Pan-handle State Underwood's tilt with Colonel Bryan may keep some of the Bryanites from lining up with the Alabama statesman, but the majority of the followers of the Nebraskan were for Governor Wilson. Senators Chilton and Watson, although it has been asserted that they were for Governor Harmon, and that ex-Governor William A. MacCorkle had been promised a cabinet position if Harmon was successful, are silent as to their choice for President, and many predict that they will not enter the contest with the idea of making a fight for any-particular candidate.

Gospel of Optimism IS PREACHED BY BOOKER WASHINGTON TO NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. 2,000 Hear Him Gives Statistics Showing, the Economic Progress of the Negro in Arkansas and Other States of the South. Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 15.—Preaching the gospel of optimism that has made him famous, and inciting the members of his race to economy, thrift and the highest point of excellence in industrial and commercial pursuits, Booker T. Washington, leader of the Negro race, principal of the famous Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered the twelfth annual address before the National Negro Business League, which potent organization he founded twelve years ago. Assembled in the Kempner Theatre to bear his address was an audience of about 2,000 people, composed of a large number of the best white people of the city, representative Negroes of the city and state, and members of the organization. In the course of his remarks, Dr. Washington said: "This session marks the twelfth year of the existence of the National Negro Business League. While it is among the youngest of our national organizations, I think we have just cause to feel proud of its growth, success and influence. Starting in a simple way, it has now grown to the point where it brings together at these annual meetings the strongest and best men and women of our race. In connection with the national organization, there are now in existence about six hundred local leagues scattered throughout the United States. The peculiar value of this league, however, is not in the size of the national organization nor in the number of league dates. In the work and influence of the league in turning the attention of members of our race to the rich opportunity that is right about them in their own community for industrial and business growth. The value of this league consists mainly in the new spirit that it has put into the race—a spirit that turns the impossible to the possible, from that which is artificial and unstable to that which is natural and enduring. "The National Negro Business League, too, is unlike many other organizations in the fact that it is not a secret organization; it has no grips and pass-words, and offers no sick and death benefits. Nor is this in any sense a political organization. Let me add, too, that the Business League is not in opposition to any other organization that is meant to help our race, but stands ready to help and co-operate with all other worthy organizations. "I am glad that we are holding this national meeting in the city of Little Rock and in the State of Arkansas. In no other State has the league from the very beginning of its work had more loyal and active followers than in this State. From the first we have had the support and influence of that honored and successful man, J. E. Bush, and his comrades in Arkansas. "For another reason I am glad that we have assembled in the State of Arkansas because in few if any other States have the Negroes made greater progress, and there are few if any communities where the white citizens are more just in their treatment of the Negroes than is true of the city of Little Rock. The interest of the white people in the colored people of Little Rock is shown in the fine school system provided for our race, and the numerous opportunities afforded our race to secure and to promote business and industrial enterprises. Without firm and loyal white friends the Negro could not have made the progress that he has made in Little Rock and through out the State of Arkansas. "I sometimes fear that too many of our people are so active in advertising our disadvantages that they fail to rightly appreciate our opportunities. I would not, however, be understood as meaning that on proper occasions and in a proper manner, that we should not protest against wrong; that we should depend mainly for our success upon constructive efforts, rather than mere protest. For a few minutes permit me to go into particulars as to the conditions and opportunities and the progress of our race in the State of Arkansas. Let me use the State of Arkansas as an example of what is possible for the Negro in practically every one of our Southern States, to say nothing of oppor- untities that are open to us in Northern and Western States. I repeat that my experience and observation convince me that with few exceptions, where the Negro is trying to live a decent life, is willing to work, to save money, to advance in all the fundamental things of life that he will find in the Southern communities as elsewhere white friends who are anxious and willing to encourage him. "In Arkansas, for example, I find by the official records that there are about 400,000 Negroes, that they constitute about 27 per cent. of the total population of the State. These 400,000 Negroes within 45 years of freedom have accumulated taxable property in Arkansas to the amount of $20,500,000. According to the official records kept in your State, the colored people in Arkansas paid in local and state taxes $451,000 toward the support of government in Arkansas during the past year. "In proportion to their numbers, I question whether the colored people of any other State in the South have made greater progress in material directions than these figures indicate. But we should not be satisfied with what we have accomplished in the past. There is a richer and broader future for us if we can but he made to appreciate what is possible for us in a State like Arkansas. Clash Between Races Threatens Oklahoma Second Reported Killing of White Woman By a Negro Stirs Up Strife and Negroes are Ordered to Leave One Town. Durant, Okla., Aug. 14.—A second woman has been killed near by a Negro. Her identity has not been learned. The second crime it is feared, will cause a serious clash, between the whites and Negroes, in this section. Negroes are rapidly leaving Durant following the burning of the body of John Lee, a Negro who was shot to death by a mob Sunday within 20 hours after some one assaulted and fatally shot Mrs. Reddem Campbell. She died in a hospital at Sherman, Texas, today. Late today Mrs. Corder, wife of a farmer, ten miles south, was killed after being brutally beaten by a Negro. The black ran as the woman's husband approached the house. He escaped and an angry posse is pursuing him. At Caddo, Okla., trouble started as soon as it was learned that the Negro who attacked Mrs. L. R. Campbell here Saturday had been killed and his body burned. Mrs. Campbell died at Sherman, Texas, today. The Negro is said to have lived in Caddo and his friends talked of organizing for revenge. POST WARNING Caddo, Okla., Aug. 14.—A warning to all Negroes to leave was posted here today. During the day excitement ran high and there were reports of clashes between whites and blacks. The notice which allows the Negroes until next Saturday is signed "Kaddo Klan." NO ARRESTS Coatesville, Pa., Aug. 14.—No rests have yet been made in connection with the lynching of Zach Walker, who last night was dragged on a bed from a hospital and burned alive in the outskirts of the town. The authorities of Chester County, it is said, possess the names of about thirty men alleged to be the ringleaders but warrants, if any, will not be sworn out until the investigation is complete. Lync in gDenounced By Baltimore Preacher Lync in gDenounced By Baltimore Preacher Tells Ministers' Union Negroes Must Make Vigorous Protest Against Every Outbreak of Mob Violence. --- Baltimore, Md., August 15.—In an address denunciatory of the lynchings that occurred in Oklahoma and Coatesville, Pa., Sunday, Rev. Garnett R. Waller, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church told the Baptist Ministers' Union meeting yesterday that the race must make vigorous protest against every outbreak of mob violence. "I there are too many lynchings," he said. "in this country, and we must let the world know that the thing is going too far. Some of you say that I am glad he did not assault a white woman," but you only make the action of the lynchers more nauseating thereby. The old Jews used to tell the young Hebrews of Russia to be peaceful and all would be well, but the massacres at Kishineff and other places came. The young Jews have become more assertive and some of the horrors are not now perpetrated. "We cannot sit idly by and see our race killed off without due pro- CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. NEGRO REPUBLICANS ARE IOUS FOR LEADERS BEGIN CAMPAIGN Vetoes Statehood Bill Because of Conjections to Recall of Judiciary Clause.—National Medical Association to Meet. (Bureau of The Advocate) Washington, D. C. Aug. 16—President Aaft has vetoed the bill granting statehood to the territories of Arizona and New Mexico, because of the clause in the constitution of Arizona, providing for the recall of judges, should they go counter to the popular sentiment of the people of the proposed state. In a message bristling with fine legal points and full of good sense, President Aaft files his objections to such dangerous and entirely unnecessary clauses and refuses to give his sanction to the admission of the new aspirants for membership in the national sisterhood until the provision relative to the judiciary is changed. This firm stand for the right stamps President Taft as a safe and sane Chief Executive. He is demonstrating day by day that he has the courage of his convictions on all of the great questions, and is able to offer excellent and convincing reasons for the faith that it is within him. Vetoes of the wool and the free list bills are expected to follow. The President very correctly takes the view that there should be no half-baked tariff legislation and does not purpose to be made an instrument for the playing of politics on important public issues. He will not favor the enactment of any revenue measure in advance of the report of the Tariff Board, which is to furnish the facts, without which no intelligent and scientific hinder for a revision of the present schedule can be drawn. He summarizes as he is with genuine tariff reform, he declines to go off "half-cooked" on the subject, and will not permit others to do so if he can prevent it, and it looks as if he can. President Taft is proving himself to be more than a party leader. He is a tribune of the whole people. National Medical Association to Meet At Havenport All is in readiness for the annual session of the National Medical Association, which opens next Tuesday morning at Hampton, Va. The scientific sessions will be held in the Academic Hall of Hampton Institute, which has been donated for the purpose by the trustees of the Institute. The banquet will be held on the campus and the ball will be given in the great dancing pavilion of the Bay Shore Hotel at Backrobe Beach. The attendance hides fair to be large and representative and the papers and clinics will be of the highest scientific value. Dr. A. M. Curtis, the ensembler and painstaking president of the N. M. A., has secured reduced rates over the Old Bay Line of steamers, and has arranged to carry a party of about thirty of the leading physicians, dentists and pharmacists of Washington to Baltimore on Monday evening at 6 o'clock, where the boat for Hampton will be boarded. State rooms and other conveniences can be thus secured to better advantage than if the party took the steamer at the local wharf. A large delegation of Baltimoreans will join the party for the trip to Old Point Comfort. Dr. Curtis' annual address will be of unusual interest. He will take occasion to review the work of the organization from its inception, and to outline some reforms by which it may be made more effective in promoting public health and advancing the welfare of the professions embraced in its membership. He will suggest an enlargement of the scope of the organization, and the formation of permanent commissions for the investigation of the many phases of medical inquiry that are being developed from time to time. It is understood also that Dr. Curtis will advance a plan by which a working agreement can be entered into, for mutual advantage between the N. M. A. and the American Medical Association, the finest body of medical scientists, in the world. Reports will be made at Hampton by the commission on polygons headed by Dr. A. M. Townsend, of Nashville, Tenn.; by the commission on the hookworm, of which Dr. J. A. Kenney, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala. is chairman; by the commission on tuberculosis, of which Dr. Marrueis Whestland, of Publications, of Ala. Fiss Cora B.

Insurgents Rule Roost! (Continued from page one) Dr. H. D. Haffield, of McDowell County, leader of the Republican organization in the Fifth Congressional District, and the President of the West Virginia State Senate, whose name has been repeatedly liked with the Republican gubernatorial nomination, is not a candidate for any political office. The McDowell Senator made that emphatic this week in a statement made while he was on his way to White Sulphur Springs to discuss the political situation with Governor William E. Glasscock, prior to the meeting of the Republican State Central Committee. "I am not a candidate for office. I want no office, and if you know how to emphasize this statement, do so," was the remark made by the President of the State Senate. "I am in politics only to help the party in any way that I can be of service to the party. We must get together. This thought should be the first in the minds of all Republicans." Were he inclined to try Dr. Hatfield would make a formidable candidate for Governor, for his strength is not particularly confined to the Fifth District. Congressman John W. Davis, of Clarksburg, representative of the First District may have for an opponent next year State Senator Charles G. Coffman. At the present time there is considerable Coffman talk over the First District, and while the author of the Coffman primary bill has not announced that he will seek congressional honors, he is not averse to making the fight against Congressman Davis, say his Republican friends. Coffman has just completed a four-year term in the State Senate and is one of the most popular of the legislators. Another probable candidate in the First is Judge M. H. Willis, of Wetzel County. ```markdown ``` Down in the Fourth Congressional District, now represented by Congressman John M. Hamilton, of Grantsville, Adjutant General Charles D. Elliott has received a boom of considerable dimensions to make the race for Congress. General Elliott is one of the Republicans who play the political game 365 days out out of every year. Twice he was United States Marshal in the northern district, and he knows every man, woman and child and casin in the Fourth District. "I would take any nomination for any political office from Constable to United States Senator if my party insisted," is the comment of the military man. ```markdown ``` Secretary of State Stuart F. Reed, without making formal announcement of his candidacy, has let it be known that he will seek another nomination for the office he is now occupying. And as a result of this advance knowledge some of his friends among the newspaper fraternity with whom he used to consort are saying some THE BAUER MEAT & FISH CO.

Although he has not fully determined, Mont Topping, of Kanawha County, who made the race for Secretary of State against Reed three years ago, may again be his opponent.

McCabe, as Trustee, to secure the International Harvester Company of America, a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, the payment of two certain notes therein described, which deed of trust is recorded in the office of the Clerk of the Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, in Trust Deed Book No. 38, at page 335, having been requested so to do by the owner, or holder, of said notes, the undersigned will offer for sale, at public auction, to the highest bidder, at the East front door of the Court House of said County, on the 4TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1911, AT 10 O'CLOCK A. M., the property described in said deed of trust, as follows: One I. H. C. (International Harvester Company of America) two-cylinder auto wagon; one Model-Stevens-Duryea four-cylinder touring car, No. 40701, complete; one Model T four-cylinder Ford touring car, No. 30263, complete. All of the above described property is owned by and in the possession of the said J. E. Skaggs, in the City of Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. Said sale will be made for such One of Our Weaknesses "One of our weaknesses as a race, which in an increasing degree we must learn to overcome is that of squandering that which we earn, of wasteful and unnecessary expenditure of money and property. One of the objects of this National Negro Business League is to not only teach our race to get "3d of things but to hold on to those which we get. "For example, I find by the official records that about 40 per cent of the cotton raised in Arkansas is produced by the hands of Negro farmers. I am safe in saying that the Negroes in Arkansas produced last year about 350,000 bales of cotton valued at about $25,000,000. The question is, how much of this $25,000,000 remains in the hands of the race today and how much of it has been spent for things that we could have done without? "The Negro farmers of Arkansas produced last year about 9,600 bushels of corn valued at $5,600,000. The Negro farmers of Arkansas produced last year 189,000 bushels of oats valued at $87,000. They produced last year about 48,000 bushels of wheat valued at $46,000. They produced last year about 432,000 bushels of Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes valued at about $291,000. The total farm products of the colored farmers of Arkansas for 1910 amounted to $32,000,000. If we add to this what the colored people earned in other occupations such as professional, domestic and personal service, trade, manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, the people of our race in this State earned at least $38,000,000 last year. "The great question, then, is how much of this wealth remains in our hands in Arkansas? How much of it has been put into land? How much into houses? How much into the bank? How much into the schools? How much into the churches? How much has gone in directions which are calculated to make us a stronger, a more useful, intelligent, moral and religious race? "In the State of Arkansas there are tremendous opportunities for still greater progress. I find that in this State there are at least eight million acres of unimproved lands that are capable of producing almost every kind of farm products. In the past 15 years in Arkansas there has been great increase in land values. Land which 15 years ago could be purchased for $2 to $15 per acre is now selling from $15 to $20 an acre, and in some cases the price has gone up as high as $100 an acre. If we do not as a race improve the opportunities to get hold of our share of these rich and productive lands, people of another race and of another color will come in from Europe and reap the golden harvest which should be ours in part at least. "Taking the Southern States as a whole, I find that colored farmers last year produced four and a half million bales of cotton valued at about $319,000,000. Colored farmers in the South produced last year 150,000,000 bushels of corn valued at about $95,000,000. How many of these millions of dollars today remain in our hands, and how much has parted from us? "The colored farmers of the South produced last year four and a half million bushels of oats valued at over two millions of dollars. They produced last year 850,000 bushels of wheat valued at nearly four million dollars, and 98,000,000 pounds of tobacco valued at about nine million dollars. "It is estimated that the total value of he farm products of colored farmers of the South last year amounted to five hundred million dollars. In addition to what was produced by the farmers, I am safe in saying that those engaged in other grainful occupations such as professional service, domestic and personal service, and trade and manufacturing and mechanical pursuits earned las year at least two hundred million dollars making the total earnings of our race in the South alone something over seven hundred million dollars. "I repeat again and again that it is the duty of the Negro minister, the Negro teacher, the Negro business man, of the leaders of our race everywhere to see to it that a larger proportion of the tremendous amount earned by our race is invested in lands, houses, banks, schools, industrial institutions, colleges, churches, so invested that it will remain for all time in the possession of this generation and succeeding generations. If ten percent only of our annual earnings were set aside for such investment as I have suggested, the race would have every year seventy millions of dollars which would go into its permanent enrichment and enlightenment. "There is another feature of race development to which I cannot fail to call your attention at this time. This refers to the matter of seeing to it that the youths of the race in a larger measure prepare themselves for service in the fundamental skilled trades. Too large a proportion of youths are content with little odd jobs or hand to mouth callings. Too many of our young men are content to be mere waiters, or Pullman car porters, or tip-takers in some easy position that carries little with it that is permanent and dependable in the way of laying a foundation for the present or the future. The whole Southland is full of opportunities for skilled workmen at high wages. In Alabama, for example, there are colored men who are earning from $3 to $5 a day as bricklayers. In the Birmingham district of Alabama there are colored men who are earning from $5 to $10 per day as skilled laborers in the various iron and steel manufacturing enterprises of that State. What I say of Alabama is true of other States. "Without the least fear of exaggeration, I would state that employment can be found for 100 additional Negro architects, 300 Negro contractors, 100 more electrical engineers, 5,000 more bricklayers, 5,000 more carpenters 500 more plumbers, 500 stationary engineers and 5,000 more skilled workers in the iron furnaces. This is to say nothing of at least 50,000 places awaiting skilled farmers, dalrymen, stock raisers and fruit growers. "Attention before it is too late to our economic and industrial growth will enable the ten million members of our race in the United States to escape many of the pitfalls into which our race has fallen in Liberia, Haiti and elsewhere.

The Friendly Society Movement received an impetus at the Montgomery meeting of the Grand Lodge of Odd Follows, last week, which dispels all doubts both as to its necessity and eventual adoption by all the secret societies of this State. The constant readers of these columns will recall that here, during the editorship of the late J. McLenry Jones, then Grand Master of the Odd Fellows, the first gun was fired in the campaign to bring the fraternal organizations of the State and Nation into closer relations for their mutual protection. As during his editorship of this paper, so during that of the late S. W. Starks, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, no opportunity was overlooked that offered the advancement of this idea. And the writer when these stalwarts had been called to give an account of their stewardship, relying upon their wisdom and having faith in their judgment, continued, a lone voice crying in the wilderness, to preach the gospel of union of Negro fraternities. Is its pride then not pardonable in announcing the assured consumption of the movement in which it took the leading and only friendly part? But The Advocate would not monopolize all the credit. Others though, hostile, accomplished before what it had long endeavored to bring about by persuasion. The introduction of the Carr Fraternal Society bill in the last regular session of the West Virginia Legislature and the hurried assembly here, on the call of The Advocate, of the leading Negro fraternal society men to fight for the lives of their organizations, was the fulfillment of a prophecy of what might be expected and convinced them that the Movement which we advocated was right. The Masons, the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias by their participation in the conference at Montgomery which has for its end a closer union of these orders, have taken the first step on the road which will lead them to unexpected benefits. When they shall have affiliated with themselves the Red Men, the St. Lukes and the other societies with similar aims and purposes, then indeed wil The Advocate feel that its labor to bring these elements together has not been in vain. "THOE SHALT KILL" When a mob, as did that at Coatesville, Pa., Sunday, drags a wounded Negro on a cot from a hospital and burns him alive, one wonders if, in the final analysis, there is any difference at heart between the white man North and the white man South—the common, every day white man—in his attitude toward the Negro There has not now been any form of mob violence exercised at the South that has not had full sway at the North. No form of torture employed in the South to end the life of a Negro accused of crime has not been given a trial at the North. The North, which was wont to throw up its hands in holy horror at the savagry of the South, has endured pitied and embraced that which it most decided in the South. In both sections there is now a thirst for the blood of an accused Negro which will not be denied, and officers of the law, both below and above the Mason and Dixon Line, seem to be either powerless or complaisant on both. You ask what the result will be? There is only one answer. It is writ in the Holy Bible that what ye sow that shall ye reap. As with the individual, so with the Nation. If either sows the wind he must expect to and will reap the whirlwind. This is an immutable law, applicable to all alike, a law against which neither race, color, creed, nor position will avail. "Thou shalt not kill". Many a man who now feels it his duty to "take in" an excursion under the guise of a vacation will wish he hadn't before the roses bloom again. With the lynching fever creeping slowly but surely Northward, it takes a Negro mind or more than ordinary faith in the final triumph of Right to preach optimism as does Booker Washington. THAT DARK GREEN TASTE THAT DARK GIGEEN TASTE. The W. C. T. U. asks "what is a high ball"?

Sunday School Union Organized Sunday School Union Organized Superintendent of Missions, Rev. Turner, Continues Work of Bringing Sunday Schools of State Together. Raymond City, Aug. 14.—The eighth district Sunday school union of the West Virginia Baptist Sunday School Convention was organized Sunday at the Mt. Herman Baptist church by Superintendent of Missions, Rev. J. J. Turner, Sunday, afternoon. At eleven o'clock after appropriate devotionals, Rev. P. P. Holland, the pastor, introduced Rev. J. J. Turner, who preached an excellent sermon for the occasion. At two o'clock a brief Sunday School service was conducted by Superintendent A. G. Hurter, often two o'clock. J. J. Turner claimed the attention of the audience, stated the object of the meeting and appointed L. J. Shields and Mrs. H. A. Price as the enroling committee. After the organization, the constitution drawn up by the executive board, was adopted. The following officers were elected: President, Hannibal Woods; vice president, Prof. C. W. Boyd; recording secretary, I. C. McKinney; corresponding secretary, J. A. Shields, treasurer, C. W. Harris An excellent address was delivered by prot. C. W. Boyd, who showed how necessary it is for young people to be kept in the Sunday School and highly recommended that teacher training classes and cradle roll departments be kept up in every school and suggested plans for carrying them on. Rev. Brannon Hanna gave a good discourse Sunday evening prayer. Rev. P. Holland installed the officers. The next meeting will be held in January. The time and place will be fixed by the executive committee. District Sunday School Association Called on Cabin Creek. A meeting will be held at Carbon, Aug. 26 and 27, for the purpose of organizing a district Sunday school union. All the schools between Pratt and Winifrede are requested to represent and send a contribution for the support of the work. The first session will be called at 8 o'clock Saturday evening and also Sunday night. J. J. TURSER. Superintendent of Missions. State Takes Over Industrial School Colored Orphans' Home and Industrial School Transferred to State, McGhee Receiving 20 Acres for Services. --- Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 12.—The last legislature made the Huntington Negro Industrial School and Orphans Home a state institution, and on Friday evening at a meeting of the old board of directors of this city, held at Judge Campbell's law offices, the necessary steps were taken to transfer the holdings of that institution to the State for the sum of $10,000, which will be used to clear up all old debts contracted by the directors of the institution. T. S. Scanlon, president of the organization directing the affairs of the school, was ordered to transfer the 190 acres of land and all appurtenances thereto, including the buildings to the State and was authorized to accept the $10,000 from the State. The deal was made because the school could not support itself and it was doing too great a good to be discontinued. The State was then asked to take it over. In recognition of his services, the directors decided to turn over to Supt. McGhee 20 acres of the school land, valued at $2,000, but giving the State an option on it at that price for two years. The school lies on the 30th street road, a mile beyond the city limits and is considered a valuable piece of property. ACCESED OF STEALING E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me. boldly accuses Bucklen's Arnica Salve of stealing—the sting from burns or scals—the pain from sores of all kinds—the distress from boils or piles. "It robs cuts, corns, bruises, WILLEY KAYNAN General Funston received the medal of honor and was made Brigadier General of Volunteers for the remarkable crossing of the Rio Grande in the Philippines at the battle of Calumpit. With humor and vivacity General Funston describes this adventure in the September Scribner. After more than a quarter of a century, when the rancor of that time has subsided, James Ford Rhodes describes clearly and without prejudice "The National Republican Conventions of 1880 and 1884," in the September Scribner. These contests which nominated Garfield in one case and Blaine in the other were among the most dramatic in our political history. Readers of Mrs. Wharton's new serial in Scribner's—"Ethan Frome"—have been struck with the dramatic intensity of this tale of New England, which is told with the simplicity of a Greek tragedy. Frederick McCormick, for several years a newspaper correspondent in Pekin, will outline in the September Scribner the various diplomatic steps which have led up to the participation of America in the China Lotai and our leadership in Chinese currency reform. Ralph D. Paine will describe in coming numbers of Scribner's Magazine, beginning in September, certain picturesque seaports of Europe, including Antwerp, Hamburg, and the port of London. The supremacy of Thomas Nelson Page in depicting Negro character has seldom found a better example than he the story which he contributes to the sentence. Scribner entitled "The Trick-Doctor,"—full of the quaint humor and satires of Negro character at its best and at its worst. Josephine Preston Peabody, whose poetic drama, "The Piper," was such a success at the New Theatre last winter, contributes to the September Scribner a beautiful lyric poem entitled "Alson's Mother to the Brook." Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews is not only a writer of exquisite stories such as "The Perfect Tribute," and "The Courage of the Commonplace," but also of felicitous poems. She contributes "A Saddle Song," to September Scribner. Mrs. Andrews is an expert horsewoman and also a good shot and skilful in catching fish. She is now at the Triton Club in the Province of Quebec. F. Hopkinso Smith's serial, "Kennedy Square," running for the past year in Scribner's Magazine, will be concluded in the September number and appear in book form soon after.

The great transactions of the world have not been and cannot be governed by mere maxims of abstract right Some day it may be so, but thus far it never has been so in any age or among any people. Since the dawn of civilization, in the providence of God, it has happened that only through agency and the shedding of blood could the living principle contained in the Declaration of Independence—the eternal principle of individual rights and liberty—be wrought out. The attitude of the present Chief Executive on the question of color prejudice in the United States is so well understood by all that it seems a little less than imbecility for any one to misinterpret his standing on this question. The color line exists, and is so intricate in character that it is extremely difficult to fully understand in its entirety. Prior to the last presidential contest a large part of the press of the United States declared it to be a trumor that except for the fear of "negro domination" the Southern States would go Republican almost solidly. This did not mean the total disfranchisement of the colored voter, but the broad statement was made by both the democratic and republican papers of the country that but for the colored man's ballot. Mason and Dixon's line would be wiped from the political map; that the Democratic party would be left in a sorry plight for a real live southern issue. A few brief years before this Editor Henry W. Grady, one of the South's famous leaders and, perhaps, its best journalist, declared in a speech in the city of Boston, before the Merchants' Association, that: "Never before in this Republic has the white race divided on the rights of an alien race. The red man was cut down as a weed, because he hindered the way of the American citizen. The yellow man was shut out of this Republic because he is an alien and an inferior. The red man was owner of the land—the yellow man highly civilized and assimilable—but they hindered both sections and are gone. But the black man, clothed with every privilege of government is pinned to the soil, and my people commanded to make good at any hazard, and at any cost, his full and equal heirship of American privilege and prosperity. It matters not that every race has been routed or excluded. It matters not that wherever the whites and blacks have touched, in any era or any clime, there has been irreconcilable violence. It matters not that no two races, however similar, have ever lived anywhere, at any time, on the same soil with equal rights, in peace. In spite of these things, we are commanded to make good this change of American policy which has not, perhaps, changed American prejudice—to make certain here what has elsewhere been impossible between whites and blacks—and to reverse, under the very worst conditions, the universal verdict of racial history. "We are driven to this superhuman task with an impatience that brooks no delay, a rigor that accepts no excuse, and a suspicion that discourages frankness and sincerity. It is so interwoven with our industrial fabric, that we cannot disentangle it if we would—so bound up in our honorable obligation to the world, that we would not if we could. The weakest and wisest of us know we cannot solve it with less than tolerant and patient sympathy." But following the more recent trend of events since the days of Editor Grady, President Taft cited the following in his inaugural address on March 4, 1909: "The colored men must base their hope on the results of their own industry, self-restraint, thrift, and business success, as well as upon the aid and comfort and sympathy which they may receive from their white neighbors of the South." "There is in the South a stronger feeling than ever among the intelligent, well-to-do," and influential element in favor of industrial education of the Negro and the encouragement of the race to make themselves useful members of the community. The progress which the Negro has made in the last fifty years, from slavery, when its statistics are reviewed, is marvelous, and it furnishes every reason to hope that in the next twenty-five years a still greater improvement in his condition as a productive member of society, on the farm, and, in the shop, and in other occupations may come.

Gamble, of Charleston W. Va., will present his name as a candidate for the presidency of the National Medical Association for the ensuing year. It is understood that he has finally consented to run, and a strong effort will be made to secure his election. The practice of choosing a local physician, simply because of the hospitality extended will probably be abandoned from this time on. A best man is to be selected, regardless of where he hails from. The chances of Dr. Gamble ought to be excellent. For six years he has been at the head of the Commission on Medical Education, and as such has exerted a vital influence in having young men to enter the best schools for equipment as physicians. He has urged older men to prepare themselves for the higher work that awaits the competent members of the profession. He has been instrumental in persuading the various centers of medical education to introduce advanced subjects into their curriculum, and has thus given an earnest of what he will accomplish for his beloved calling if placed in a position of national authority. Dr. Gamble gave the Association its first constitution, and led in the work of perfecting the document under which it is now working. For four successive elections the presidency has gone to the far East. It is now logically the turn of the Middle West and South. In all sections Dr. Gamble is strong, and if locality is to cut any figure at all, every argument is with the splendid man from West Virginia. The N. M. A. will itself proud by placing Dr. Gamble in the presidential chair for the year 1911-12. Republican Leaders Urged to get "Busy." The campaign of 1913 comes on apace. In December the Republican National Committee will meet here to select the seat of the next national convention. The nomination of President Taft is a foregone conclusion, and the only work of the convention will be to ratify the choice of the people, name a candidate for the vice-presidency, and adopt a platform. The issues are practically made up. The battle will be on the revision of the tariff, as far as the nation at large is concerned. The colored people, while having a stake in the tariff, are far more interested in the policy of the party with reference to their civil and political status. It is expected that the convention will make a ringing declaration in favor of standing up for the citizen rights of the Negro wherever the stars and stripes float, and that a campaign, with the stalwart principles of Lincoln, Grant and Conkling to the force, will be waged in all of the states where the colored vote is a factor. The colored republican leaders are trying to make it clear to the white managers that something of this kind should be done, not only because it is right, but to offset the plan of the opposition to place Negro allies in the field to stir up dissatis- faction among the colored voters by pointing out to them the alleged failure of the republican party to insist upon the enforcement of the War Amendments to the Constitution in letter and spirit. Men and women of acknowledged cleverness with tongue and pen are being enlisted by the democracy, and they are already at work. Without discussing the final effectiveness of the agitation they are setting on foot the thoughtful colored leaders are not blind to the fact that allegations unrefuted pass for facts with a great many people who do not post themselves by reading, and whose feelings are easily played upon to their detriment by skilled politicians who understand human nature from A to Z. The colored republicans are anxious to form a working organization in every state and to make our a definite line of battle to know just where the vulnerable spots are and to take steps to remedy any evils that may be found dangerous to the party's welfare. The complaints A the disgruntled are to be answered by setting forth the good things the administration has done for the Negro, and by making note of the bad things the democrats are going to do if they get into power. To do this, however, these leaders assert, they must be clothed with authority to act, and the most effective machinery available must be set in motion. The missionary work of the democrats cannot be overcome by desultory hits here and there, they claim. Able forces must be drawn upon, and the "sinews of war" must be provided from some source. They urge that the commencement of this work must not be put off too long. They want the directors of the campaign to be put on the firing line at once, with orders to push the battle with vigor. While the arguments are all with the republicans, they admit, somebody must give these arguments form and substance if the colored voters are to be shown the right road. The press, the platform and the caucus await the signal. To make a long story short, the colored leaders who have been active for lo these many years, want the managers to "get busy", and give the word to start something toward the campaign of 1912. Besides this they wish a conference, from which will come a definite plan of battle and some ringing enunciation of administrative policies that will serve as a rallying-cry to the "faithful", in the pivotal states. The activity of the democrats among the colored voters is causing the colored republicans to champ at their bit and makes them eager for the fray. There are multiplying signs that there will be "something doing" before long in this "neck-o'-the-woods." Now American "The Negroes are now American. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live for it and die for it. Encountering the race feeling against them, subject at time to cruel injustices growing out of it, they may have profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress, and this last policy should be pursued when suitable occasion offers. "But it may well admit of doubt whether, in the case of any race, an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a community in which the race feeling is so widespread and acute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feeling which such an appointment is likely to engender. Therefore the Executive, in recognizing the Negro race by appointments, must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than good. On the other hand, we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition. "Personally, I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of a policy which is likely to increase it. Meantime, if nothing is done to prevent it, a better feeling between the Negroes and the whites in the South will continue to grow, and more and more the white people will come to realize that the future of the South is to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the Negro." These friendly words of the President to the colored people have been so distorted since their utterance that the statement concerning colored men holding office has been quoted word for word. Nearly every casual observer has been amazed at some of the peculiar interpretations placed upon this speech. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, in referring to it, said in a public address, delivered to the colored people of Washington, D. C.: "What I am troubled about is political equality. In this concern I call your attention, in a favorable way, to what our President said in his inaugural address. If I correctly understand what he said, and I think I do, he realizes fully the serious character of this question, and intends to do all in his power to bring about a just solution of it. Knowing him as I do, that means that he will do much, and if I correctly understand what is in his mind what he may accomplish in the right direction." "While I may not fully agree with all he has in mind, or may see fit to do, yet I am rejoiced to know he intends to do what he can to correct wrongs of the race and bring about some acceptable adjustment of differences consistently with the great war amendments to the Constitution. If he succeeds it will be a great achievement for his administration. It will bring great honor to his name. Everybody should help him who can. I can do but little, but you can do much. Trust him, have confidence in him, and, in every way you can, support him and uphold him." No one can doubt the sincerity of Senator Foraker as a staunch supporter and defender of the rights of the colored citizen, and those words of his should silence for all time any misapprehension on the part of those who have never properly weighted the words of the Chief Executive spoken in his first inaugural. Nor can the colored people of this country afford to desert such true and tried friends. Colored men cannot afford to raise the race issue where there is no race issue, or to assume that every official act of the Government that touches a colored individual is aimed at them as a race issue. The colored people must rise superior to race demagoguery and to a higher plane of American citizenship. They are not an alien race, but are alleged (Continued on page six.)

Giv The Panama Canal Exposition at Frisco in 1915 continues to be a subject for discussion, and sentiment is much divided on the proposition to have a Negro Department. The consensus of opinion is that all will depend upon who is to be placed in control of the project, if it is regarded as feasible. If sentiment is developed favorable to the department for colored exhibitors, Congress may be induced to extend aid No grafting will be supported, nor will vest-pocket methods be. Negro Department at Frisco must be a "people's affair," or it will not be organized at all. The narrow escape from an open scandal at the recent Jamestown Exposition is still fresh in the minds of the masses, and they intend to be careful if another enterprise of the same kind is suggested. The progressive element of the A. M. E. Zion church is committed to the policy of "expansion." It will see to it that at least two Bishops, and possibly three, are elected at Charlotte, N. C., next May. Minister Henry W. Furniss has conducted affairs at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in admirable fashion throughout a delicate crisis which would test the powers of the most accomplished diplomat. There is reason to believe that he will be as acceptable to the new regime as to the old, and he will remain at his post as long as he is willing to serve our government there. This nation could not be more capably represented. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the brilliant platform orator, has been signally honored by being invited by GARRETT AND H UNDERTAK ALL ORDERS DELIVERED PROMPTLY. Call 18 the famous and select Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences to deliver five lectures next season under its auspices. It is understood that Mrs. Terrell will accept, and will discuss in her own inimitable way some phases of the American race problem. She is certain to give an excellent account of herself. Hon. John C. Dancy, Dr. S. L. Corrothers, Dr.' G. M. Oliver and Mrs. Ida V. Smith/are attending the Bishops' Council of the A. M. E. Zion church this week at Knoxville Tenn. Noteworthy features of the great gathering were the splendid financial report of Dr. J. S. Jackson, the energetic financial secretary and the eloquent and inspiring sermon delivered by Dr. Corrothers. Both are leaders in the race for the Zion Bench of Bishops. The candidacy of Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, for the Bishopric of his connection, is announced. He will be strongly supported. The election of Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary, is practically conceded. There are two vacancies on the Bench, caused by the death of Bishops Abram Grant and E. W. Lampton. A report comes that Dr. William Tecumseh Vernon has been elected president of the Morris Brown College at Atlanta, Ga., to succeed the late Dr. E. W. Lee. Major Charles W. F. Fillmore, for several years connected with the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, Treasury Department has been transferred to the Internal Revenue Service as a storekeeper. Charleston, W. Va. gauger, and assigned to the office of Collector Charles W. Anderson in New York City. Major Fillmore is a capable official and will have enlarged opportunities for usefulness in the great New York field. Major Fillmore saw service in the 9th Ohio Bataillon during the Spanish-American War, and made an enviable military record. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, Dr. J. Milton Waldron, Judge M. W. Gibbs and others will attend the meeting of the National Independent Negro League at Boston, August 28. Dr. A. M. Curtis delivered an able address to the convention of Trained Nurses at Lincoln Temple Tuesday afternoon. While Surgeon-in-Chief at Freedmen's Hospital, Dr. Curtis was an active promoter of the welfare of the colored nurses. Assistant Attorney-General W. H. Lewis was prevented by important matters in the Department of Justice from attending the Negro Educational Congress at Denver, Col. One dollar bills bearing the signature of Register J. C. Napier have been issued. Five dollar bills are to appear shortly. Mrs. Napier was presented with the first of the new bills that came from the press at the Bureau of Engaving and Printing. Dr. C. W. Childs, of this city, is being urged to allow the use of his name in connection with, the prediscovery of the National Medical Association at Hampton, Va. next week. Dr. A. M. Brown, of Birmingham, Ala., chairman of the Surgical Section, is also mentioned for the place. Dr. Amanda V. Gray is at Buckroe Beach. Mr. John T. Howe, of the office of the Treasurer of the United States, has been given a substantial promotion. The tourists, piloted by the Kentucky Reporter, headed by Editor R. T. Berry, are due here Sunday night. en route from New York Atlantic City and Philadelphia. The stork visited the home of Dr. and Mrs. W. Clarence McNeill a few days ago and left a bouncing baby boy. In course of time the young McNeill will be matriculated at the Howard Medical School. Prof. Kelly Miller says Howard University will have a record-breaking enrollment this year. Gives State Financial Institutions High Rating Wheeling, W. Va., August 17.—"The banks of West Virginia at the present time are in my estimation in the best condition they have been in many years." This is a statement made by National Bank Examiner, Blanchard E. Hiatt, of Moundsville. Mr. Hiatt, who received the appointment of national bank examiner June 1, against a field of many prominent banking authorities from all over the country, has since reciving his appointment examined a total of about 40 banks in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. A greater point this time has been in West Virginia, and in the 20 depositories of West Virginia which have come under his jurisdiction during this period all have been in every detail found to be in the most favorable condition. In his statement, Mr. Hiatt attributed this excellent condition of the banking institutions of the state to the fact that during the last few years this section of the country has not been troubled by money stringencies, which materially injure the hopes of the banking institutions. West Virginia Banks Excelt. In this respect the banks of other states have not been quite so fortunate, so-called "panies" reigning various times, obstructing the progress of the banking institutions to such an extent that in many cases heavy runs on the vaults of the banks have brought about the failure of many, while others, managing to hold up under the heavy strains, were set back in their financial standing to such a degree that it took many months to again place them on their feet. Mr. Hatt states that in his opinion almost every bank in the state of West Virginia is in condition to hold up under the heaviest runs. By depositors, and in most cases, be troubled very little by the drain. At present Mr. Hatt is carrying out his duties as brigadier general on on the staff of Maj. General A. J. Stoddard of the Knights of Pythias, who is attending the encampment of the Knights in Wheeling. The first part of next week he will leave on a tour of the lower part of the state, but the exact route to be covered has not been definitely arranged by him. ANOTHER DOUBLE-HEADER BALL GAME SUNDAY AT THE SOUTH SIDE PARK Another double header ball game is to be pulled off Sunday at Falone Park in South Charleston. Messrs. Wehrle and Van Buren have completed arrangements for another meeting of the famous Sluggers with a strong team and the latter will be that representing the town of Clothier, and vicinity, on Coal River. At the conclusion of that contest the winner will take on the All Collegians for a game to decide the supremacy of the day. The first game will be called at 2:30 o'clock and the second will begin immediately after the conclusion of the first. A big excursion is to be run from points along the Coal river and several hundred visitors are expected from along that line. All three of the teams interested are in good trim and close games are promised. And Statehood for the Two Territories Now is Probable Y ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington, August 17.—The Senate and the House conference today reached a complete agreement to eliminate the judiciary feature from the joint resolution providing statehood for Arizona and also to make the constitution of New Mexico easier of amendment. This means compliance with the wishes of President Taft and will ensure, it is thought statehood for the two territories. COL. EDWARDS RÉTIRES Washington, August, 17. After more than thirty-seven years' service, Col. Frank A. Edwards of the calvary, was transferred to the retired list of the army today on his own application. He is a native of Pennsylvania, but was appointed to the service in 1873 from the District of Columbia. Which He Thought Made Dr. Dunlap His Superior BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Washington, August 17.—Upon resuming the witness stand today Dr. Wiley placed in evidence the letter he referred to yesterday, which he had received from Secretary Wilson notifying him of the appointment of Dr. Dunlap as associate chemist. Dr. Wiley, interpreted the letter, as he said yesterday, from its context as meaning that Dr. Dunlap had been given greater authority than he possessed. In the hearing yesterday Dr. Wiley testified that he had never received the letter upon which was based the charge of the "Personnel Board" and the recommendation of the attorney general. The letter, it is said, had neyer seen sent, and the chief chemist had no knowledge that any such proposition, as he was charged with agreeing to, had ever been n ade. It was also brought out that a phrase had been left out of this unent Letter, which showed that the proposition was to be submitted to the department before any action was to be taken upon the suggestion, and that there was nothing upon which to base a charge that Dr. Wiley had contemplated doing what the "Board of Personnel" had charged him with having contemplated. SHOOTING AFFAIR AT MAMMOTH LEADS TO RAID UPON PLACE Alleged Gambling Has Been Going on There OPENLY FOR FOUR YEARS Detective R. H. Glendinn, of the National Detective Association, yesterday arrested Shelton Morris, of Mammoth, on the charge of conducting a gambling resort, at that place. The arrest was the outcome of a shooting, affair which happened in the Morris place on August 11 when Festus Seabolt shot and seriously wounded a man named George Hurley during a free for all fight. Hurley's arm was so badly torn that amputation at the left elbow was necessary. Seabolt made his escape and has not been apprehended. Morris was placed under $300 bond for his appearance in Squire Atkinson's court August 26th for trial. The detective also apprehended 15 alleged inmates of the place and they are on trial in Squire Atkinson's court this afternoon. The gambling room in which the shooting occurred is located next to the county road and is said to have been conducted openly. During the past four years it is said that four murders have been conducted there but the place is now closed. NO BALL FOR HANS WAGNER FOR THREE WEEKS HENCE Washington, August 17—Hans Wagner, Pittsburgh's great batter, will be off the diamond for at least three weeks because of an injury to his ankle in the Brooklyn game yesterday. The injury is giving the player great pain. GOMPERS TO TOUR Washington, August 17.—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, left today on a tour of the West and Northwest that will last about two months and extend over a number of States. He will visit many of the large cities and incidentally will consult with the leaders of organized labor in regards to the defense fund and other plans to aid the men who are soon to be put on trial in Los Angeles for the alleged dynamiting of the Times building in that city. Mr. Gompers' first stopping place will be Denver, after which he is to visit Salt Lake City, Dutte, Spokane, Seattle, Vancouver, Tacoma and Portland. Labor Day will find him in San Francisco, where he will deliver the address before organized labor bodies of that city and vicinity. A number of other California cities will be visited before, he returns East.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs—from distressing kidney ills—thousands have publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of Charleston who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Charleston kidney sufferers W. L. Brookman, 409 Ross street, Charleston, W. Va., says: "For a long time my back was lame and when I stooped sharp pains darted through my kidneys. The kidney secretions were accompanied by a scalding sensation in passage and were highly colored. The contents of two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and in return, I am glad to recommend them." Mr. Brookman gave the above statement in September, 1906, and when interviewed on June 12, 1909, he said: "I have had no return attack of kidney complaint since using Doan's Kidney Pills. I firmly believe that they will cure any case of this trouble." For sale by all deaders. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE THREE to a Republic of free men. They should, therefore, practice moderation and sanity in deciding upon any future political action. In a long and varied career, dealing specially with race problems, President Taft has shown himself to be a consistent sympathiser in everything pertaining to the interests of persons of color. MANY REUNIONS OF VETERANS Rochester, N. Y., August 17.—The annual encampment of the National G. A. R. to be held in Rochester the coming week will be notable for the record-breaking number of regimental and brigade reunions to be held in conjunction therewith. The unusually large number of reunions is due chiefly to the fact that the present year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of the war. In addition to the G. A. R. the organization of national scope that will meet during the week will include the Woman's Relief Corps, Ladies of the G. A. R., Daughters of Veterans, Sons of Veterans, Army Nurses, Army and Navy Union, Army and Navy Auxiliary, Union Veteran's Union, Women's Veteran Relief Union, Ex-Prisoners of War, Naval Veterans and Andersonville Survivors. WEDS ARMY LIEUTENANT Charles Town, W. Va., August 17. —Zion Protestant Episcopal Church of this city was the scene of a brilliant gathering today for the marriage of Miss Cecilia Davenport, daughter of Mr. Arthur Davenport, and Lieut. Paul A. Larned, U. S. A., son of the late Colonel Larned, who was for many years dean of the United States Military Academy at West Point. POPULAR MECHANICS MAGAZINE FOR SEPTEMBER Ordinarily there are so many unusual articles in each number of Popular Mechanics Magazine that it is difficult to choose a few as "features." The September number, however, is an exception to this rule, for while it contains the usual amount of interesting material, Barney Oldfield's long, illustrated article on automobile racing is certain to create a sensation and provoke comment—if not legislation—all over the country. Mr. Oldfield, probably the most experienced driver of fast cars in the world, and who declares he was never famous until he went through the fence at St. Louis and killed two spectators, accuses the public of blood-thirstiness, and the race-governing associations of greed. The writer is never abusive: Fact by fact, incident by incident, picture by picture, he pleads his case, resting it at the bar of American public opinion, which he declares, ceases to condone faults the moment the veils of pretended "virtue" or "progress" are torn away. The September Popular Mechanics Magazine contains, in all, 270 articles and 269 illustrations. In aeronautics, a page illustration depicts Lincoln Beachey's spectacular flight under the bridge at Niagara, and the important events of the month are summarized with terse comment and appropriate illustrations. The proposed group of federal buildings for Washington is described, with a number of fine views. This, it is stated, will be one of the greatest building projects in the career of the United States. H. H. Windsor's editorials discuss, "Why Theories Fall;" "Need of More Cities Beautiful," and "Motor Bus Supplants Street Car." How New Jersey has rid herself in large measure of her famous "skeeter," is told by John B. Smith, state entomologist, who has conducted the work of extermination. J. Gordon Ogden, in his seventh article on "The Kingdom of Dust," tells how dust is "the fear of the housewife" in the production of yeast molds. Other stories of special interest are: "Knock-Down Eight-Oared Racing Shell;" "A Shower Bath That Is Also at Policeman;" "Mechanical Progress in 35 Years;" "Testing the Government's Coal;" "Electric-Lighted Indian Clubs;" "Streamline' Bodies for Automobiles;" "Recording Telephone Talk;" "Great Wireless Station for Washington;" "Vacuum Cleaner for Automobiles;" "Wallace Irwin contributes some ironic stanzas on "The Pin Point of Success." The Shop Notes and Amateur Mechanics Departments contain many practical articles, every one "written so you can understand it," and all drawn from actual experience. Instructions for making a monoplane glider are a feature of the American Mechanics department. The construction of a simple wireless telephone set is described, also.

Stone For Giving Every Voter Chance Prominent among the recent visitors at the capital was Hon. Elmer L. Stone, of Ripley, a successful attorney of Jackson county and one of the strong Republicans of that rock-ribbed county. Attorney Store will be a candidate next year for the Republican nomination for Circuit Judge in his judicial circuit and he has the qualifications to make a successful jurist. During his visit here, Attorney Stone was asked for a statement with reference to the best method of making nominations for the next campaign. He replied: "I have always been in favor of giving every Republican a direct opportunity of saying who shall be placed upon his ticket to be voted for by him. I note that the demand for this right is growing stronger all over the State all the time, and I think it is a just demand which should be given to every voter. Why should not every man who is expected to support the ticket at the polls, be given a free and open chance to say who shall be placed upon that ticket? Delegate convention, as they have been heretofore held by both the great political parties of this State, have become very unsatisfactory to the masses and they are demanding that by some proper primary election they be permitted to have a voice in the nomination of all candidates, both State, district and county. "I believe that the best interest of the party will be subserved if the Delegates to the Republican State Convention of 1912, be selected by Magisterial District Primary Elections, making the District a unit, so that in every section of every County in the State every Republican will have the opportunity of saying by his vote who the Delegates elected shall support in the convention I believe that an immense majority of the Republican party is in favor of a primary election which will give every member of the party a direct voice in making the ticket to be supported by him at the polls in 1912. So far as I am individually concerned, as a Candidate for the nomination for Judge of the Judicial Circuit in which I live, I am willing and anxious that every Republican shall say at a primary election by his direct vote who shall be his Candidate for that office, and when he shall have thus spoken, I will be perfectly satisfied with the result. If this voice is given to every Republican voter by a proper primary election, I have not the slightest doubt that the grand old party will, in 1912, achieve at the polls one of the greatest victories she has ever won in this State." Cal. F. Young has returned from Parkersburg and Blennerhassett Island and where he attended the annual meeting of the State Grange. He said last night that West Virginia was not as largely represented as expected and that the majority of those in attendance were from Ohio, where greater interest is taken in agricultural matters than in this State. The Ohio farming districts represented were typical of the industry shown by that element in the Buckeye State. FRANCIS JOSEPH NEARS Vienna, August 17.—The venerable Emperor Francis Joseph will be 81 years old tomorrow. Beyond receiving the customary congratulations he will make—no special observance of the anniversary, but will pass the day in quiet at Ischl, where he has resided the most of the time since his recent illness. His subjects throughout the dual empire however, will celebrate the day as usual with national rejoicings. REUNION OF "TRIBE OF JACOB" Asheville, N. C., August 17.—The "Trib of Jacob," comprising the descendants of Jacob Weaver who settled in North Carolina more than a century ago, was held today at the home of D. G. Weaver, near Weaverville, this county. Members of the family from far and near attended the gathering. By playing nifty ball in the Mountain States League, Joe French, the little lightning shortstop for the Ashland-Catlettsburg team, has received attention from the major league scouts and there is a chance for his being sold to the New York Nationals. The owners of the Ashcats have been asked to set a price on the little whirlwind and it is not unlikely that a deal will be closed soon by which the rapid player will have a chance to ascend to the top notch company for which he has been aspiring. He is a fast fielder and a good hitter. He has been kept high in the batting order of his team all season and usually makes good. The errors counted against him have been few for he has taken advantage of nery everything that has come into his territory. Statehood and Wool Bills Have Got Theirs OBJECTIONS TO THE WOOL BILL BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Washington, August 18.—The third veto message of President Taft will be sent to the House of Representatives this afternoon. The measure that today will fall under the executive ban is the "Farmers' Free List" bill. The other measures that have met with the presidential disapproval are the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill and the Wool Tariff Revision bill. The president sent to the house late yesterday his message vetoing the wool tariff bill. When Democratic leader Underwood announced after the reading of the veto that he would call it up in the house today for passage over the president's veto, the Democrats cheered. While there is sufficient majority in the house to pass the measure in that body over the veto, the prospect in the senate is different. In his veto, President Taft characterized the wool tariff revision bill as the blend of an avowed tariff for revenue and anti-protection measure with a professed protection bill. He declared the measure was not in harmony with the platform on which he was elected and opposed any tariff disturbance until the report of the Tariff Board was available. GEN. ELLIOTT DENIES FAKE FROM WASNGTON; NOT FOR LA FOLLETTE Adjutant General is a Regular and Not Insurgent In a Washington dispatch to the Wheeling Intelligencer of yesterday it was stated that the La Follette forces would endeavor to make a showing in West Virginia for the Illinois senator for the presidential nomination, and Adjutant General Charles D. Elliott was credited with the leadership of the so-called La Follette movement. It was stated that General Elliott, upon frequent visits to Washington recently, had closely hob-nobbed with La Follette's close friends and supporters. The friends of the General here in Charlesten were absolutely certain that there was no truth in the statement, but to make assurance doubly sure the General, who is now at Camp Pery, Ohio, in charge of the West Virginia rifle team at the international shoot, was wired last night, and in reply to which he today sends the following by long distance: "The statement from Washington contained in the Intelligencer is absolutely false. I have not the honor even of Senator La Follette's acquaintance and have not been in communication with him either directly or indirectly. I have not been in Washington in many weeks. "I am devoting my entire time to the West Virginia blue team here at Camp Perry, and believe me, we are making them watch us. In the enlisted men's match our team was fourth and we are going to be away up the list when the big matches begin September 22d." Local politicians declared, upon reading the Intelligence article from Washington, that Gen. Elliott would be one of the last to kick over the regular Republican traces. Just upon what the Intelligence's correspondent based his declarations is not known, but surely not upon any action of the General's looking to the furtherance of a La Follette movement in West Virginia. This State is unchangeably for President Taft for renomination as matters now stand, and unless an almost miraculous change should be brought about between this date and the holding of the national convention, West Virginia will vote solidly for the President for another term. BIG PLANT TO CLOSE Pawntucket, R. I., August 18. The big plant of the J. and P. Coats Company will shut down at the close of business tomorrow and will not resume operations for at least four Mother and Sweetheart Fight the Officers Like Demons Beckley, W. Va., August 18.—Cal Meadows, a noted desperado of the West Virginia mountains, known and feared all over this section for his habit of slashing his enemies with a knife, was lodged in jail Wednesday after a bloody battle in which his mother took part armed with an ax. Meadows has been a fugitive from justice for about six months, his last offense being the slashing of two of his mountain enemies, Tom Cadle and "Tommy" Thompson. Both men were hacked almost to pieces, but lived. Meadows was captured about six weeks ago, but in disarming him the officers in some manner overlooked one of his guns. Covering the sheriff's men with his pistol, he disarmed them, and disappeared into the mountains. Since then a close watch has been kept on his haunts, and a few days ago the word went out that Cal Meadows was at his mother's cabin on Tommy's Creek. Deputy Sheriff P. G. Hedrick, swore in Josh Bolen, a man familiar with all the paths and hiding places in the mountains, as special officer, and the two went out to get him. Meadows was seen sitting on the door-step of his mother's cabin, and the two officers crept along the garden fence, hidden by tall sun flowers until they were within twenty-five feet of him. He was told to make no sound, and to throw up his hands. Completely surprised he did so, and while Bolen kept him covered with his automatic Colt, Hedrick came around through the front gate, and hand-cuffed him. It was all done so quietly that Meadow's mother, sweetheart and three other women in the cabin knew nothing of what was going one until they heard the click of the hand-cuffs. Then occurred a battle indescribable. Women Fought for a Mile. Women Fought for a Mile. With axes, hoes, rocks they attacked the two officers. In their efforts to get possession of the prisoner they bit the two men, tore their hair, hit them with rocks. Cursing, screaming, fighting the battle raged for a mile to where the horses were hitched that were to carry the men and prisoners to fall. The prisoner's mother, with the side of her head cut open, bleeding, but still fighting, led the battle. The mountain road for a mile was stained with blood. After getting Meadows on his horse the officers experienced no further difficulty and he was lodged in jail. The prisoner is an ex-convict and is said to be wanted in Kentucky for shashing an officer. He is a mild-looking young fellow of about 28 years, and does not look at all the part of a bad man and outlaw.

If you are working and saving your money and putting it in a bank where you get no interest, keep it in a trunk or hiding it some where about your house—You Are Working for Money. If you are working and saving your money and investing it in a safe way, where it will be working day and night whether you are working or not, and making you at least six per cent interest—Your Money is Working For You. The Pythian Mutual Investment Association was organized in order to give us an opportunity to put the money we could save together and then put it to work. The above is a picture of our building on the Capitol Square in Charleston. We have just purchased a splendid three story brick building on one of the main business streets in the city of Huntington. The first floor is occupied by the Huntington Herald, the largest daily newspaper published in that section of the state, the second floor is used for office rooms, while the third floor is a large assembly and lodge hall. This building is sure to pay us well. After the Charleston building had been occupied only eight months our stockholders were paid a dividend or six per cent. Stock is still on sale at $10.00 per share, either paid up or on the installment plan. As your agent in your locality about it or write to this office. LET YOUR MONEY WORK FOR YOU PYTHIAN MUTUAL INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION HOTEL AND COTTAGES TOO Marlinton, W. Va., August 18. The fast passing of deer, turkey, and other game and game birds, from the haunts of favored hunting grounds has incited activity of the real and nature loving sportsmen to take steps to preserve the beauties of jungles and to perpetuate the recreation days of camp and chase. At one time deer, turkey, bear and other game known to this section were so plentiful that residents of that day needed only a small corn patch for bread material and could maintain his family from the generosity of the forest and stream but like the rude savage who once roamed the hills in pursuit of the agile denizens of these hills they have fast passed away and are almost like their primitive enemies, known only in legend, myth and history. To meet this crisis Mr. J. A. Viquesen and his able assistant, Mr. H. M. Lockridge, have been busily engaged trying to find some suitable site to establish a preserve wherein sportsmen could help propagate their long and have once more the long for recreation search of old. After long and careful search they have found the ideal spot, have purchased the lands and secured the necessary leases. This elegant location is about 10 miles east of here on the Marlinton and Hot Springs Pike in the foothills of the Alleghenies on the waters of Knapps Creek and its tributaries. The Club House will be located at Driscol near the site of the great Minneaha, spring which flows daily its 700,000 gallons of healing waters, clear as a crystal, sparkling and bubbling with its miracle life giving properties. This spring, Dr. J. B. Lockridge, its owner, is equipping with bath rooms and every modern appliance. He will erect a large boarding house, stables and everything necessary to make pleasant the hours of the tired, the sick, the weary and the worn that may seek this, the ideal health and recreation spot of the country. Dr. Lockridge has laid off and sold 30 lots to persons of this place and near by who build summer residences near this leisurely place. To Construct a Lake Hon. A. D. Williams and his brother, E. H. Williams, left here yesterday morning to lay off 100 lots for the Alleghany Land Company at this place, locate the club house, estimate the cost of making a lake and to do other engineering work necessary to insure starting of the work. It is the intention of the promoters to make an artificial lake where there was once a natural lake of about 100 acres and to stock it with fish. Besides this, all the tributaries and Knapp's Creek are fine fish streams. A fish hatchery will be built and much attention will be given to raising turkey, deer, pheasant, and quail. A large club house will be erected on the top of a beautiful knoll overlooking the valley in many directions. The all is covered with a dense cluster of second growth of white pine, which, like the deer, is almost gone. Ideal Recreation Spot. It is intended to make the preserve an ideal spot to spend either summer or winter and a place where any one can take his family and at little cost find real rest and recreation. The climate here in winter is not so severe but what any one can enjoy the pleasures of a hunting outing at any time and in summer no place can surpass it for pleasant quiet nerve resting weather. The nights are cool all summer and while those at the popular resorts are tossing in swetering heat the man in the foothills of the Alleghanies is quietly resting in a sleep that is recuperative and invigorating. Mr. Viquesney passed through here yesterday preparatory to putting the lots on sale and doing other work incidental to getting his sporting friends started to work at one of the most worthy projects that has been started in this section for some time.
