WASHINGTON ON HIS TOUR THROUGH THE LONE STAR STATE Cordial Reception Accorded Him by Representative White Men and Negroes Display Regard and Affection, Mingled With Exultant Pride. --- Texargana, Ark., Oct. 5.—The tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington who was accompanied by a party of prominent and well known colored men from various portions of the country came to an end here today. Everywhere the distinguished educator received overwhelming demonstrations of regard and affection, mingled with exultant pride on the part of the Negro people. Equally cordial was the reception given him by representative white men in various places, notably, the conference with Mayor Callaghan in San Antonio, the presentation free of cost of the City Auditorium, a building seating more than 7000 people by the mayor of Houston, the more than cordial address by Mayor T. P. Wooldridge of Austin, the address of welcome by City Superintendent J. C. Lattimore at Waco and the perfectly frank, yet friendly address of introduction by Hon. Chesley Adams, former county superintendent of public schools, at Marshall. As on former occasions, Dr. Washington was accompanied by a party of distinguished Negroes, among them being Emmett J. Scott, his secretary, Booker T. Washington, Jr., Dr. J. A. Kenney, resident physician, A. R. Ammons of the Institute Battalion, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; W. T. B. Williams, Agent John F. Slatter and Jeans Fund Boards, Hampton, Va.; Bishop I. B. Scott, Bishop of Africa, the Methodist Episcopal Church; Dr. H. T. Kealing, president Western University, Quindoro, Kan.; Dr. E. C. Morris, president National Baptist Convention, Helena, Ark; Charles S. Tador, representing the New York Evening Post, New York City; Dr. R. E. Park, magazine writer, Boston, Mass.; Horace D. Slatter, general newspaper correspondent, Hopkinsville, Ky.; K. P. Bedou, official photographer, New Orleans, La.; Walter L. Cohen, former register U. S. Land Office, New Orleans, La.; J. B. Bell, capitalist, Houston, Texas; J. R. L. Smith, president Texas Negro Business League, Waco; R. C. Houston, Jr., president Provident Savings Bank, Fort Worth; Dr. E. M. Griggs, president Farmers Bank and Trust Co., Palestine, Texas; Rev. L. L. Campbell, president General Baptist Conist Convention, Austin, Texas; Dr. M. W. Dogan, president Wiley University, Marshall, Texas; Dr. E. L. Blackshear, principal Prarie View State Normal School; Prof. W. C. Rollins, treasurer Prarie View State Normal School and others. Coming into the state from Arizona points, the first address on Texas soil was made in El Paso, where Dr. Washington had an immense audience, two-thirds of whom were white people. On account of the comparative small number of colored people in El Paso, the white people of the city made up 85 percent of the expenses necessary to hire the theater in which Dr. Washington spoke. The welcome and reception given the distinguished educator In San Antonio, where the party mobilized, in a very commendable way set the pace for all other cities, in its cordiality, the Second Baptist Church, counselurally which the Negro Business League under the leadership of Dr. J. T. Walton was able to make. Fully three thousand people, about one thousand of whom were white, filled every available seat in the Beethoven Hall, crowded in the windows and stood around the walls and aisles to hear the famous Tuskegee Negro educator speak. The big audience cheered the speaker at almost every utterance, and at his own request, the Negro members sang two old-time Negro plantation songs, "Lord I'm Climbing Up Jacob's Ladder" and "The Old Time Religion." On behalf of the choir of the Second Baptist Church, Dr. Washington was presented with a sofa pillow with the Boisson in "the spirit of the heroes picture of the Alamo on it by J. C. of the Alamo who thought so little of life as to die for a principle." In the afternoon, Dr. Washington spoke to the Negro school children at the Second Baptist Church (counseling them to make their education worth while in their every-day lives and to take their mothers and fathers in their training with them. "Don't let people discourage you, he said on this occasion. "Do not (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) THE Lynchers Take Negroes From Jail AND RIDDLED BODY OF ONE IS FOUND IN MISSISSIPPI RIVER, WHILE OTHERS FLEE FROM WHITES AT CARUTHERVILLE. Caruthersville, Mo., Oct. 12.—Two Negroes, A. B. Rich and Ben Woods, taken from the city jail here last night, by a mob, which battered down doors, were lynched. The body of Rich riddled with bullets, was found at noon today floating in the Mississippi River. That Woods met a like fate is the accepted belief. Woods was arrested last night for an attack upon two young white women. News of the arrest brought 75 masked men to the jail. After a few minutes' parley with the Marshal the mob broke into the cells and dragged the Negroes out and disappeared. Nothing more was heard of the mob until its members charged upon a Negro resort at 2 o'clock this morning. Its occupants learning of the advance, fled and were not pursued. The house was fired by the mob. The Coroner's jury, which held an inquest over the body of Rich, late today returned a verdict that Rich came to his death at the hands of unidentified persons. Wood's body has not been found, and it is supposed it has floated down the Mississippi River. The town is quiet tonight. Many Negroes have left for points South. "Unknown Parties" Says Coroner's Jury WERE THE LYNCHERS OF WILLI LIS JACKSON, ALTHOUGH SHERIFF CLAIMED MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE LED LAW BREAKERS. Spartanburg, S. C., Oct. 12.—Although Sheriff J. P. Poole declared that a member of the South Carolina Legislature and mentioned as a candidate for Congress led the mob which after seventy-millle pursuit in automobiles took Willis Jackson, a Negro, away from the Sheriff and lynched him at midnight for an attack on a white girl, Coroner Beasly's jury found today that Jackson came to his death "at the hands of unknown parties." When the body was cut down from a telegraph pole this morning it was found that the fingers and toes had been cut off as souvenirs. Jackson's mother refused to take the body, saying she would have nothing to do with a son who would commit such a crime. True to his promise that he would not interfere with the lynching of a Negro who assaulted a white woman, Governor Blease did not order out the militia, although he had 12 hours' warning. Milton Mattison, a Negro, was whipped by a committee of white men today for insolence to a white man in an automobile, who scared Mattison's mule. ALLEGED LYNCHERS ACQUITED West Chester, Pa., Oct. 12.—Joseph Schofield, the third defendant tried on a charge of participating in the Walker lynching at Coatesville, was acquitted by direction of Judge Butler after the commonwealth had concluded its testimony. MORE LYNCHERS ACQUITED. West Chester, Pa., Oct. 12.—Two more men charged with murder in connection with the lynching of Zack Walker, at Coatesville, were acquitted by a jury in the Chester county Court today. The men declared innocent are William Gilbert and Albert Berry. The latter is a balloonist, whose father is Captain Berry, of St. Louis. In the second installment of A. E. W. Mason's serial, "The Turnstile," in the November Scribner, Cynthia has an experience that decides her adopted parents to carry out their long-talked-of plan to go back to England. The situation is a most dramatic one, involving all sorts of future complications. Mr. Cleveland's attitude on the silver Question, his admirable handling of the great Chicago Railroad strike and his determined stand to the Venezuelan Boundary dispute, are dwell, upon by James Ford Rhodes, in his second article on "Cleveland's Administration" in the November Scribner. Thomas Nelson Page, in an article in the November Scribner on "General Lee and the Confederate Government," makes it very clear that the great leader of the Southern armies was woftly handicapped by the Administration in carrying out his campaign. Madam Waddington.gives "An Impression of Coronation Week" in the November Scribner and recalls other similar ceremonies that she has witnessed. Few of the thousands present knew so many of the notables as they passed in review. 一 Impressive Ceremonies ATTEND LAST RITES OVER AGED AFRICAN METHODIST EPIS COPAL BISHOP Served As Sexton Sunday School Superintendent, Steward, Class Leader, Pastor and Presiding Elder of the Church Where Funeral Was Held. Baltimore, Md., Oct 12.—The funeral of Bishop James A. Handy, who died here Thursday of last week after a long illness from progressive paralysis, was held yesterday in African Methodist Episcopal Church. It was this church that the dead prelate had served as sexton, Sunday School Superintendent, stewart, class leader, pastor, presiding elder and bishop. The principal eulogy was delivered by Bishop F. Lee, of Wilberforce, O. Brief eulogies were also delivered by Bishops Benjamin T. Tanner and William B. Derrick. Others who took part in the program included: Rev. Dr. P. S. Seaton, who delivered the opening hymn; Rev. C. E. Herbert, who delivered the invocation; Bishop Wesley J. Galanes, who read the 90th Psalm; Rev. John Hurst, who lined out "Lead Kindly Light;" Rev. J. G. Martin, who read resolutions from the Baltimore Preachers' Meeting, Rev. J. W. Norris, who said the benediction, and Bishop Levi J. Coppin, who presided.

Murray, of the New Jersey Conference; U. G. Leeper, of the Baltimore Conference; R. C. Ransom, of the New York Conference; R. H. W. Leak, of the Western North Carolina Conference; T. W.

Besides visiting ministers from all sections of the country, delegations from the Scottish kite Masons, the Maryland Grand Lodge Masons and the Order of Nazarites, with which the deceased was at one time prominently connected, were present. Bishop Handy was born in this city December 22, 1826. The only chance he ever had to attend school was during the winter of 1833. He was given private lessons by the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, and was admitted into the ministry in 1860. He was missionary secretary of the A. M. E. Church from 1868 to 1872, and later filled pastorates in various cities. He was elected financial secretary of his denomination in 1888, serving until his elevation to the bishopric in 1892. He was a man firm in his dealings with men, but extremely charitable. He was superannuated in 1908. He was married three times. His third wife (Mrs, Mary F. Handy), who had been the constant companion of her husband during their nearly 25 years of married life, survives. Four grandchildren, and a niece and a nephew also survive. ANOTHER NEGRO GETS OFFICE. Receives Lecrative Appointment in the Internal Revenue Department. Under Anderson. New York, Oct. 9.—Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, has appointed Virgil H. Parks,ga colored man to the position of division deputy collector in his district. A division deputy collector is the highest grade of deputy collector under Mr. Anderson's supervision. Mr. Parks was formerly a trooper in the Twenty-fifth infantry and in the Tenth Cavalry, and while with the latter, was wounded at the battle of San Juan Hill. He stood high in the Civil Service list for first grade appointment. Collector Anderson is always "on the job" when it comes to opening new places to ambitious young colored men. ACCUSED BY BROOKER T. New York, Oct. 12.—Harry Ulrich, who was arrested several months ago on a charge of assaulting Booker T. Washington, will be tried in General Sessions Court here next Monday. An Assistant District Attorney applied to the Court today for several subpoenas in connection with the case. Ulrich is at liberty in $500 bail. --- ADVOCATE. Prominent Graduates ATTEST THE WORTH OF WILEY AND REFUTE STATEMENT OF TEXAS PAPER Service Not Honor s the Watch-word of Its Hundreds of Young Men and Young Women Who are Contributing in a Large Degree to racial Progress. (Horace D. Slatter.) Marshall, Texas, Oct. S.—The recent trip of Booker T. Washington through the State of Texas on one of his "educational campaigns," revealed to the public much of the real progress of the Negro in this State. Contributory to that progress, in many respects stand a number of the leading schools, which by the highest Christian training and the added influence of a consecrated home life as taught in these schools, many young men and women go out each to labor among their people. With reference to a certain phase of Negro race life in the South, the Houston Post after the address of Dr. Washington in that city declared in an editorial that the Negro race in Texas, and in the South for that matter, would make much greater progress did not so large number of the graduates from leading Negro schools go North, lured, as the Post puts it "In vain search of social equality." As a matter of truth, the actual facts in the case will not bear out the contention of the Houston Post. Practically every minister of the gospel who has won a reputation locally and otherwise because of his good work; practically every college president and school teacher in the South; practically every Negro business and professional men in the South who has won a competence, and who by reason of that competence and the influence of his life in the community has attained the dignity of a "leader," not only received his education in some Southern school, but elected to remain in the South and cast his lot with his people. Those of them, however, who have been educated in the North, have of necessity returned to the South for their work. In this connection, take a few, of the graduates of Wiley University, a school maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church for the education of Negroes, and one of the first of such schools to be placed under Negro management. In the inaugural address of the present president, Dr. M. W. Dogan, he tacitly put at rest all such foolish notions, when he said: "During all these years, the Freedmen's Aid Society has been helping us. The time has now come for us to help ourselves. I do not hesitate to say that if the help which our friends in the North has given us has resulted in pauperizing instead of strengthening us, it would have been indefinitely better if this help had never been given. If on the other hand it has taught us self-reliance and self help, without which no race can permanently grow, then it has been, as it was intended to be, an invaluable aid for us in the struggles and difficulties with which we have to contend." That was fourteen years ago. A list of some of the prominent graduates, taken at random will show how firmly has been rooted in these men and women the idea that they must stay in the South and help their people. As ministers of the gospel, we find J. O. Williams, district superintendent, W. E. Hayes, K. W. McMillan, W. M. Wesley, J. A. Bryant, M. Q. A. Fuller, all of whom are prominent ministers in the Texas conference. As teachers there are H. B. Pembermont, T. J. Douglass, T. B. Mitchell, William Daniels, A. M. Salome, T. C. Compton, J. H. Roberts, J. B. Fox, in city schools as principals in the states of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. Many go out as physicians, some as lawyers and others seek their for $fnes$ business occupations. Perhaps the most prominent of them all is Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, who in his love for the institution, secured from Mr. Andrew Carnegie the gift of a handsome library building. The president of Wiley University, himself is a unique and interesting character. He was born on a Mississippi cotton plantation of slave parents. By chance the family removed to Holly Springs, Miss, where is located Rust University, another Freedman Aid school. This gave young Dogan the chance to get an education, and while his father earned scanty support for a large family in a colored barber shop, Dogan largely supported himself by shining shoes, constantly keeping CONTINUE ON PAGE TWO. Barred From Examination BY STATE BOARD ARE NEGRO NURSES, REFUSAL BEING BASED ON COLOR Hooper is Indignent Chief Executive Points Out Illegality of the Action and States There is Nothing in the Act to Limit Its Application to Whites. (North the Nashville Globe.) Negro Nurses who presented themselves before the board of examiners of nurses, which began a three-days' session here Monday, were informed by the board that no colored nurses were wanted nor would they be given the right to wear the coveted "R. N." which means "registered nurse." Some of the colored nurses who presented themselves possessed more than the statutory requirements, ra some instances having taken a three years' course in the Meharry Medical College, which has a hospital attached, when the law only requires two years. The drawing of the color line created quite a stir. The board was created by an act of the last legislature, after a group of nurses had been hammering at the legislative door for two or three terms, in season and out of season. The present meeting is the first one held. At the opening dash the board claims that the "color" of the applicant must be stated in the certificate, thus in almost direct language extending the examinations to both races. The refusal of the board was called to the attention of Gov. Hooper, who it is reported, did not approve of the action taken. When asked regarding the incident Gov. Hooper said: "I have not as yet had an opportunity to confer with any member of the examining board, and, perhaps, my views would be merely persuasive. If the board has denied those nurses registration simply on account of their race, I am reliably informed they have, their action is illegal. There is nothing in the law which limits its application to white nurses and excludes colored ones from its benefits. It requires a two-year course of study and training for those that are registered without examination, out these colored nurses have taken a three-year course." "The statute in prescribing the description to be given of each registered nurse, says that along with age, sex, etc., the 'color' must be stated. "Members of the colored race have not been debarred from practicing dentistry and medicine in Tennessee, and are compelled to comply with the same statutory requirements as the whites. The object of these laws is to provide competent persons to minister in all these professions to both races. There is nothing in the law or elsewhere that will oblige any individual to engage the services of a nurse of a different race, but it is wise and just that the colored nurses should be given every opportunity and encouragement to prepare themselves for efficient service to the sick and suffering to whose aid they may be called." "I am sorry this misunderstanding has arisen and trust that it will be adjusted without the necessity of litigation." Whether or not the calling of attention to the law of Governor Hooper will have any influence, remains to be seen. The following is the composition of the board: Mrs. L. A. Warner, Memphis, president: Miss M. Barnes, Nashville, secretary: Miss Lezanti Zunnavant, Memphis, Miss Ophelia Hornsby, Knoxville, and Miss F. G. Nisbet, Nashville. The meeting is being held at the Housekeepers' Club on Eighth avenue, South. SODA FOUNTAIN ATTACHES: May Refuse To Serve Negroes, Columbus Judge Holds. Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 12.—Holding that a soda fountain is not a "place of general public accommodation," as stipulated in the law under the head of stores which may not refuse to sell their wares to Negroes, Judge E. B. Kinkead, of the Common Pleas Court, today took the damage suit of Graham Deuwell, a Negro attorney, away from the jury and instructed a verdict in favor of the confeiter. Deuwell sued for $500 for failure to serve him a lemon nectar when he asked for it. The fountain is frequented by an excellent class of whites, and he was refused. The fact was not denied, but the contention was offered and sustained by Judge Kinkead that soda fountains are not compelled to serve any one they choose to refuse. Revelers Seek To Lynch Negro ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND FOUR WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL IN SERIOUS CONDITION AND DOZEN OTHERS SUSTAIN WOUNDS. Chicago, Oct. 12.—Ben Pitts, a Negro, was on his way to work as a janitor early this morning and passed by a dance hall just as a mob of white revelers came pouring tut. Some one raised the cry of "lynch the nigger," and the crowd set upon Pitts, beating and kicking him. He managed to get to his feet and took refuge in a saloon, where he stood off the mob with a knife until the police rescued him and locked up several of the rioters. Four of the mob were taken to hospitals in a serious condition and a dozen others were carried away with ugly knife wounds. The more seriously injured are: Clayton Lee, aged 22. Michael O'Malley, aged 29. Andrew Blaskly, aged 23. Pitts himself was badly bruised and cut. It was an hour before the police could restore order in the neighborhood, which is much frequented by the customary Saturday night dance crowds. In the general fight which followed the attack upon Pitts several other Negroes took part. Goff Will Not Be a Candidate CLAIMS HE HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD AS TO FORMER UTTERANCES, AND MAKES IT EMPHATIC THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO ENTER RACE. New York, Ost. 12.—Judge Goff is absolutely and emphatically not in the race for United States Senator. He comes out in an epistle written here while on his way to Richmond over his own signature, saying he does not want the office and can not be induced to be a candidate for 11. Thus he dashes the hopes of many West Virginia Republicans of his entire party in the State in fact. It is believed generally he is the only man who could carry the next Legislature for the Republicans. Judge Goff seems to be a little irritated by what he terms a misunderstanding of what he said. He has issued a written card in which he evidently settle the question saying that he meant just what he said on a former occasion when he disclaimed being a candidate for Senator. He thus proceeds in this written statement: "There was no string to what I said, nor was there any mental reservation, My friends, doubtless unintentionally, do-me an injustice when they at least intimate that I am saying one thing and meaning another. I wish it to be distinctly understood that I am not a candidate for the Senatorship; that I do not expect to be, and that I do not wish my name considered in connection with that office. Deeply indeed do I appreciate the favorable expressions in the Republican journals from individuals coming to me from all sections of the State indicating public sentiment. I would be less than human if I did not—and deeply indeed do I regret that circumstances now controlling me render it utterly impossible for me to reply favorably to the invitation given me. It is best that it now be understood that I wish my friends—politically and personal—to cease considering me so far as the next Senatorial election is concerned." MINISTERS AND DEACONS Called to Meet at Cedar Grove on the 19th and 20th instant. The Ministers and Deacons Union of the Mt. Olivet Association will convene at the Baptist church, Cedar Grove Thursday and Friday, October 19th and 20th. The First session opens at 10 o'clock a.m. At 7 o'clock, P. M., Thursday the introductory sermon will be preached by Rev. B. A. Brooks. Other sermons are to be preached by Rev. E. C. Page and B. R. Reed. As alternates, there will be present a number of other ministers. Many topics of interest are to be discussed and a good meeting is anticipated. General Funston's account of his "Capture of Emilio Aguinaldo," in the November Scribner, reads almost like a chapter in some highly sensational novel of adventure. Its impression is made by the surprising nature of the plot involved, and the desperate character of the expedition that succeeded in putting an end to the war. Its success brought General Funston his promotion to a Brigadiership in the regular army. NUMBER VII AGREED ON BY STATE COMMITTEE WITH RIGID BULES TO GUARD RESULTS. Set for Naming Candidates for State Offices and Members of New State Committee Two of Whom are to Be Negroes. After giving out a statement covering their action, the members of the Republican state committee departed for their homes Wednesday and, in general, satisfaction is expressed over the action of the committee in calling a primary. Many details, however, were left to be disposed of at a later date, some of which would doubtless have been acted upon had not some of the members been requested to leave before th full committee went into session this morning to discuss further the preliminary steps taken by the committee after the midnight hour last night. The statement given out by the committee through a person delegated to do so, covers the action very fully and is as follows: Detal of Plans. At the request of the press for a statement the following was given out covering the action of the state central committee. The state committee, by almost a unanimous vote, called a state wide primary election to be held June 4th, 1912, to nominate, by direct vote of the people, all candidates for state offices, except members of the supreme court of appeals. At the same time there si to be elected by the voters of the several senatorial districts one member of the Republican executive central committee, and two members are to be elected at large by all the voters of the state, the two members at large to be selected from the colored race. consisting of Samuel V. Matthews, Chairman, and Virgil Highland, Secretary, Judge Jos, M. Saunders, Senator L. J. Foreman and E. W. Martin, for the purpose of drafting and reporting rules and regulations in detail for conducting the primary. The primary election is to be held throughout the state on the same day. The congressional, judicial, senatorial and county committees are requested to provide for the nomination of candidates to fill the offices for which they respectively act at the same primary election and by a direct vote of the respective districts and counties, and all of the election officers and machinery for conducting the election are to be selected by the several counties and not by the state committee. Sub Committee Named. This sub-committee is requested to consult the leading jurists and men of the state and with their assistance to devise the best rule possible for an absolutely fair primary election, as soon as the committee is ready to report another meeting of the state committee will be called and the report acted upon by the committee as a whole. The members of the Republican editorial association unanimously requested the committee to exclude from the general primary election the selection of the candidates for the supreme court of appeals, and in response to this reuest and in deference to the general sentiment prevailing throughout th state and indeed the entire country, that the selection of candidates for judicial offices, should so fas as possible, be eliminated from politics, the committee decided that the nomination of the members of the supreme court of appeals should be made in a convention to be hereafter called. The committee expressed in the resolution a desire for all members throughout the entire state to co-operate. The members of the committee holding federal and state offices viz: Samuel V. Matthews, Chairman, Mr. S. D. Denham, of Clarksburg, Mr. A. Howard Fleming, of Fairmont; Mr. Robert Hazlett, of Wheeling, and Mr. James E Doyle, of McMechen, placed in the hands of the secretary of the committee their several resignations as members of the committee to take effect after the incoming of the report of the subcommittee and the working out and adopting of rules and regulations for conducting the primary election, which the committee has called.

Doctors had said her frightful cough was a "consumption" cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. King's New Discovery. "I have been using it for some time," she wrote "and the awful cough has almost gone. It also saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial trouble." This matchless medicine has no equal for throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.

"There are those who envy the traveling salesman because he gets to cover a lot of territory, see new places and things and is practically his own boss so long as he turns in the orders," remarked H. C. Carpenter, who come to Charleston to supply the Charleston Tailoring and Hat Company, McFarland and Holstein's establishment, with a big order of hats for the winter trade. Speaking to his two customers he said they thought they had a hard time as compared with his, but he asserted that they did not have to worry more than two-thirds as long in the course of a year as he does. "We fellows on the road," said Mr. Carpenter, "are required to average about fifteen or sixteen hours a day and they are irregular hours, too. Of course we know where we will spend the next few days, and sometimes have our route mapped out weeks ahead, and when we can figure on a stop that will allow us a full night's rest we look ahead to that day and date with eagerness.

AMERICANS WED IN PARIS Paris, Oct. 18.—American society, in the French capital was much interested in the wedding today of Miss Madeline L'Engle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. L'Engle of New Orleans, and Adrian Iselin, second son of C. Oliver Iselin, of New York. Both bride and bridegroom are well known to society on both sides of the Atlantic. The bride is of long and notable lineage, and through her father yy the paternal lines she is a descendant of the younger son of the Marquis de L'Engle de Bretagne, and settled in America in the early part of the last century. By her father on the maternal side she comes of English stock which leads back to Lawrence Washington, the great-uncle of George Washington. Mr. Iselin's family has long been prominent in New York. C. Oliver Iselin is noted for his interest in yacht racing. The son was educated at Oxford and has spent much of his time abroad. Springfield, Mass., Oct. 18.—Eight hundred leaders of the Universalist Church throughout the country were in attendance here today at the opening of the general convention of their denomination.

Promenent Graduates (Continued From Page One.) the open page before him while he went about his work. He was converted at the University, graduated with honors and became a professor of mathematics there, and afterwards president of Wiley University. Mr. Washington himself constantly points to the fact that it is left, largely upon educated Negroes to convince the public at large of the wisdom of Negro education. This, the graduates of Wiley seem to have done in a remarkable degree. Hón. Chesley F. Adams, former county superintendent of public schools, in an address a few days ago, introducing Dr. Washington to a Harrison county audience, declared that the county could boast of the best, most peaceful, industrious and law-abiding Negro citizenship in the state of Texas, largely on account of the influence of Wiley University. That, after all, emphasizes the real worth of an institution. This is the kind of a school that emphasizes in the highest degree, the necessity of moral and spiritual culture of young men and women. In a peculiar sense, it is emphasized here as the Negro's greatest need. Moral and ethical culture in body and soul to know one's self, to be able to stand up for the truth when truth is in the minority, to breast the current of a debased and corrupt public sentiment, this in the last analysis is the only true basis for the permanent development of the Negro race. This is the gospel as taught here; this is the gospel as students are taught to carry it out in their religious and other organizations, in their conduct with one another, in their deportment on the streets, and as a matter of course, to a large extent they carry it out when they go into the world. During the last fifteen years, hundreds of young men and women have been converted during the annual reunion at Wiley University, trained in patience, and in genuine manly self respect. With this sort of culture, they have gone back to their people—to their people in the South no seeking honor, but service—the keyword of Christian education. It is small wonder that they are winning daily in the respect of their fellows, that they are contributing, in a large degree not true of many other schools in the South, to the substantial progress of their people. Wiley University comes before the public as a school worth while, as an institution exerting an influence upon the Negro people in Texas and Arkansas and Louisiana that can not be measured or estimated in words. It is well to call attention to the fact in this connection, that not a young man who has ever attended this institution or graduated from any of its departments, has ever been charged with the unnamable crime against womanhood and virtue, concerning which so much has been said in recent years. In yet another instance does this institution set the pace for many other Negro schools. While much of its support comes from the North, the Negroes in Texas, themselves, in recent years, have contributed much to its relief. Within the last few years, this conference has contributed to Wiley University more than $50,000, and at the last session, set themselves resolutely to the task of raising a one hundred thousand dollar endowment fund. This is not, by any means a small task for these Negro ministers and their people. Indeed, it seems to be a huge joke to see these men, whose annual salary will average considerably less than $300, with a lay membership behind them composed largely of washer-women, cooks and day laborers, talking about raising an endowment fund of one hundred thousand dollars. What they have done, however, is considered an earnest of what they can do. Of the $20,000 necessary to erect the new dormitory for boys, all but $5,000 (the gift of Mr. H. G. Coe) was raised by them in one year, and they have set themselves to the task of raising during this conference year, in addition to the endowment money, the sum of ten thousand dollars necessary to complete the building. Hishop Quayle refers to them as "peers among God's noblemen" and it is hardly necessary to suppose that THE BAUER MEAT & FISH CO. 28 AND 30 CAPITOL ST.

Dr. Dogan in his work, is aided by a competent faculty of about thirty persons, graduates from Yale, Harvard, Fisk, Walden and Wiley, another comment upon the observation that educated Negroes go North for social equality. The student body is a good looking set, well dressed, well behaved men and women, and in the King Home, managed and controlled under the auspices of the Woman's Home Mission Society, they are taught the cardinal virtues of correct home making. The work of the Freedman, Aid Society in caring for these schools cannot be too highly regarded. It has helped all classes in the South by molding a better citizenship, equipping better leaders, teachers and preachers. In this class Wiley University stands pre-eminently in the lead. Those who go out from this institution are taught true manliness and this consists, as all will agree, in possessing, to a degree at least, those virtues exemplified in the life of the lowly Nazarene. Many of the safest leaders, most thorough teachers and most successful teachers in the South are products of this school. As an example of the efficiency of the work done here at Wiley University, the fact is interesting, that with Fisk University, this is the only institution in the country whose diploma is recognized by the state board of education for colored teachers.

Boys are taught the industries here as at Tuskegee. They learn to hammer, to hoe, to dig, to plow, and in fact to do all things well that Negroes, are likely to be called upon to do in everyday life. The girls in the King Home are taught the industries likewise and a well rounded education given them. If these students go out into life and make fallures of their careers, however, humble, it will be despite the training given them at Wiley University. Mr. Philip G.

Walton, where he was entertained during the day. At 11:35 oclock he and his party went to the City Hall, where he paid his respects to Mayor Callaghan. "I am pleased to meet you," said the mayor. "Your name is known throughout the world and I have great respect for your great work at Tuskegee." He was greeted in a manner equally cordial by Alderman Mauermann and Wickeland. He expressed great satisfaction over the friendly relations existing in San Antonio between the races, adding that when away from here San Antonio Negroes were loud in singing praises of the city. "We are fair to our colored citizens," declared the Mayor, who was invited by Dr. Walton to attend the meeting at Beethoven Hall. The Mayor then greeted young, Brooker T. Washington, who was clothed in the uniform of an officer of the Tuskegee Institute battalion. The welcome given Dr. Washington at the Douglass High School, where he was entertained at lunchon was unique and cordial.' the luncheon was unique and prepared by the Domestic Science class. The children of the high school arranged in tiers on the steps and singing "Our Leader" as he approached the building. Just before being seated they again sang, "We Welcome You," a song especially written for the occasion by Principal S. J. Sutton of the high school. SPEAKS TO CHILDREN. All the Negro school children of the city were addressed by Dr. Washington for about fifteen minutes as Second Baptist Church, many of the parents crowding into the church to hear him. Some 2000 people in all were crowded into the building. Emmett J. Scott was none the less welcome. Being formerly a Texas boy, who went to Tuskegee fourteen years ago, he was busy all day receiving the congratulations of his former friends. "That boy was raised up right under me," said one man who stopped a carriage to shake his hands. His success and rise has been phenomenal, except that it is the result of painstaking care in the prosecution of his arduous duties as secretary to the Tuskegee educator. None the less responsible is his work as corresponding secretary of the National Negro Business League, which is the most forceful and fruitful organization in the Negro race. His one great distinction came by reason of his appointment by President Tait as one of the members of the recent American Commission to Liberia, through whose investigations and subsequent recommendations much valuable territory has been saved to the Negro republic. A large number of white people were in the audience, and to them as well as to the Negroes did Dr. Washington address sane and safe counsel with reference to the color question in the south. His address was filled with sparkling gems of eloquence and many pungent witticisms, and as all times, he was able to hold his audience by some remarkable anecdot, aptly told. The meeting was presided over by W.B. NUFORM CORSETS THE Nuform is a popular priced corset, modeled on lines that perfect your figure.

Walton, a local Negro physician, who delivered an address of welcome. Dr. Walton paid a hirsute tribute to Dr. Washington, and said in part: "This great race question must be solved from within, where the whites man and the black man live side by side. The Negro race, shot like a catapult into a civilization all new, and for which it was all too little prepared has gone for half a century, misguided, buffeted about by designing politicians and over ambitious would-be Negro leaders, until Booker T. Washington arose to point the right way. Who is it unong us of clear mind, unpurejudice heart and right habits will say that Booker T. Washington is not right, in counseling his people in the way of industry, enlightenment and morality, and in soliciting the aid and sympathy of the white man in his uplift movement? GETS AN OVATION. Declaring that few living Americans had made such an impression upon public opinion, removed so many prejudices and awakened greater helpfulness in relation to the solution of a problem, Dr. W. M. Drake introduced Dr. Washington to the audience, who rese to speak amongst deafening applause. He paid a high tribute to the Southern white man who had aided, counselled and encouraged the black people and called by name several prominent citizens of San Antonio, among them George W. Brackenridge, Albert Steves and John T. Wilson. A wreck on the Southern Pacific made the train seven hours late reaching Houston and much of the program mapped out by the local committee had to be curtailed. Here Emmett J. Scott received another ovation, this being his home place, and the point from which he joined Dr. Washington fourteen years ago to become his secretary. Fully 2000 white and colored people crowded to the station, and line 1 the sidewalks on the way from the Southern Pacific station to the home of the Orgen company to which place Dr. Washington immediately repaired and made a short speech to the Negro business men of the city. In an informal way he told the Negro business men to cultivate friendly relations with the white business men, and congratulate them upon the remarkable showing made. VISITED SCHOOL CHILDREN. From the office of the Orgen company, Dr. Washington and his party drove immediately to Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, where the colored school children had assembled to hear him. City Superintendent P. W. Horn and County Superintendent Pugh had made arrangements whereby the entire force of hear the distinguished Negro educar hear the distinguished Negro educator. Speaking for about ten minutes, Dr. Washington gave a whole lot of common sense advice to the children, encouaching his remarks in such language as could be easily understood by the smallest child in the big assemblage. The automobile ride that had been planned was abandoned owing to the lateness of the hour, and the Washington party was conducted to the home of J. B. Bell, 2121 German street, where dinner was served the party. A feature of the dinner was disclosed in the fact that it had been prepared entirely by the female students of the Langston school in the domestic science department. GUEST OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES. Besides the men of the immediate party there were present at the reception: Y. E. Jones, Thompson, Texas; C. N. Love, editor of the Texas Freeman; Rev. G. A. Des Landes, Rev. F. L. Light, Prof. F. W. Gross, George W. Jenkins, J. Leon Jones and Campbell A. Gilmore. From the residence of J. B. Bell the party was entertained by the trustees of the Covingale Library at the residence of Dr. J. B. Covington. The reception was largely a tribute to Dr. Washington and his secretary, Emmett J. Scott, who more than any other individuals, were responsible for securing the donation of a library for the colored people of Houston. The trustees entertaining the party were; E. O. Smith, John Addins, J. B. Bell, W. E. Miller, L. J. Spivey, W. D. Johnson, Andrew Parr, Richard Lockett, Not. Q. Henderson. WAS GIVEN AN OVATION As early as 6 o'clock in the evening, before the lights were lit in the big Auditorium, Negro people began to file in and take possession of the most desirable seats. By the time that the place was lit up a large portion of the seats were already taken. Long before the opening of the meeting every available seat, was occupied, and there were a large number standing. When Dr. Washington stepped on the platform he received an ovation. To one side of the platform were a number of Tuskegee alumni, and they greeted their former chief with the college yell. Dr. Washington acknowledged both gracefully and took his place on the platform. With him on the platform were a number of leading Negro professional men and the following white men: L. L. Pugh, county superintendent of schools; Adolph Boldt, Rev. Peter Gray Sears, Rev. Stephen F. Power, Rev. G. W. Strong, Prof. J. A. Brown, Judge LockMcDaniel, Judge T. W. Ford, Lewis R. Bryan and G. Van Amemigen. One very interesting and pleasing feature of the Houston engagement was the address of Emmett J. Scott, who was repeatedly called upon by the people for a speech. With evident embarrassment, born of his well known modest and retiring disposition, he in a few short words accepted the greetings from his fellow townmen, saying: "It is the common-place, the trite, the quite bromidic thing to say that I am glad to be here tonight with Dr. Washington in this matchless city, the place of my birth, the queen city of the Lone Star State. The years have not down to fast to dim my memory of the greatness of Texas, nor have the duties and responsibilities of the advancing years served to make me forget the radiant glory of the golden crown which encircles her imperial brow. No matter where I find myself, I am first of all a Texan" "These minutes, however, are too precious to be used except for the purpose which I's brought you here. I must use but few of them. We have made educational pilgrimages similar to this one through the states of Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware and Virginia. I have constantly said to Dr. Washington, "wait till we'll get to Texas; wait until you have seen something of the progress of the Negroes of Texas and of the more than friendly relations that here exist between the races." I have said to him over and over again that in this state the Negroes and the whites have literally seized upon the pregnant passage of his epoch-making Atlanta address and are working out the destiny of both races, side by side, "separate as the fingers," as he has phrased it, in all matters purely social and yet one as the hand in all matters that concern the moral and macrerial well being of this our common section. "In Texas we practically have no race problem for there can be no problem in any section where blacks and whites alike acknowledge and appreciate the fact that races and men not only have duties toward each other but responsibility as well. "And then quite naturally I have wanted you to know him better. I have wanted my old friends and neighbors to have full opportunity to see face to face the man whose life has been spent for a race, and whose work has everywhere won the unstinted plaudits of the fair minded and the just. Do you recall those oft quoted words from Emerson: 'If a man write a better book, or preach a better sermon, or make a better basket than his neighbor tho' he build his house in a wilderness yet will the world make a beaten track to his door.' This truth has been proven in his own great unselfish life; it is the philosophy which underlies all of his teaching and all of his work; for to every Negro the message he brings is that if a man make a better basket than his neighbor, make his life permanently useful, he will not go unrecognized or long be denied those opportunities which are withheld from no man anxious and willing to prove himself worthy of good citizenship. And that is why I am glad to be here tonight, why I am glad that Dr. Washington is here, that you may hear him deliver his own message of hope and good cheer." Singing an original song dedicated to Booker T. Washington, eight hundred Negro students of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial Institute, lifted up in two rows, gave the famous Negro educator a royal welcome here this morning, when he bid his party approached the institute grounds. The regard and affection with which Booker T. Washington is held by the young people of the country, many of whom have been inspired by his teachings, and writings was fully shown in the remarkable demonstration. "What's the matter with Washington," they sang. "He is our leader loved and true; he, large of heart and broad of view. Then Rah, Rah, Rah, for Booker T.; he's the man for me." College yells, one for Prairie View and the other for Tuskegee came in rapid succession, while prominent individuals making up the party were singled out for the attention of the students, those from Texas claiming the larger portion of their acclaim. The venerable Bishop L. B. Scott, the only Negro bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, received a remarkable tribute, as did also R. L. Smith, the Negro farmer's friend in Texas. Emmett J. Scott, Dr. Washington's secretary, here as at Houston received a remarkable ovation and was repeatedly called upon for a speech. As soon as the party could break away from the frenzied young people, they were taken to the home of the members of the faculty, and later to luncheon at the mess hall. The entire party led by Principal Blackshear and Dr. Booker T. Washington went on a round of inspection of the industrial divisions. Here he spoke to about 5000 farmers of both races. The address at Temple was made at Midday Saturday, when hundreds of country folks, white and black, were intown for their week end shopping and other business errands. The audience was composed of more white than colored, the speaking took place in the open air on the public square. That night at Austin, the following night, Dr. Washington spoke in Wooldridge Park in a natural amphitheatre formed by the rise of the hills on each side of the speaker's stand. Fully five thousand people heard his address here. He was welcomed to the city by Mayor Wooldridge, in whose honor the park has been named, and who said in the course of his remarks: "I have very great pleasure in presenting to you a really great colored man, distinguished in learning and ability, distinguished in the great service which he has rendered our common country, and the great services which he has rendered both races in the South in making them known to each other. "To the white people here, I wish to say that I do not bestow too much praise in saying that his life is consecrated to making his race better understood by the white people and to bringing about more harmonious relations between the races. To my colored friends, I simply speak of him as your great leader, worthy of respect, worthy of your love, and worthy of your admiration. "Dr. Washington, I would say to you, as speaking from Texas, the greatest democratic state in the United States, that our people are a liberal minded people, they want to see your race prosper, they want to see them become more content and happy. "As to the colored people, I have known them ever since my early manhood, and I am glad to bear testimony to their good character and their worth. 'I am glad to say that for the most part, the colored people around here are a law-abiding and self-respecting class of citizens. They are not by any means a burden upon their white friends and neighbors." "It was a pleasure to welcome Dr. Washington here, largely because of his personal worth, and by reason of the great race which he represents. I have heard about him, I have talked about and I have read from him in many of the magazines. He is not only a man of learning and ability, but a man who is peculiarly devoted to the welfare of his race and to bringing about harmony and peace between the races in their contact here in the South. That is the one supreme passion of his life. He believes in teaching his people the simple truths and virtues of honesty, industry and dependableness, and I am glad to say that I know they are beginning to be very prevalent. He stands for the best interest of his race, and we are glad to have him here because he stands for those principles that make him worthy of the respect and admiration of white and black alike. "He represents a constituency considerable in numbers, considerable in wealth. There are about 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States, ruly one-tenth of the entire population. In our own community fully one-third of the population is colored. This number of colored people have property, of which the assessed value will equal $1,000,000. "I welcome him here because of his personal worth, his service to his race, and I also welcome him here because of that last constituency, of which he is pre-eminently representative." Here at Austin the whole party went through a round of festivities, having breakfast at the St. John Orphaioage, dinner at Sam Houston College and luncheon a Tillotson College. At all places where there were institutions of learning Dr. Washington was pressed into service for short addresses to the students. Waco, the home of R. L. Smith, president of the Texas Negro Business League, gave the party the noisest welcome and the biggest relative crowd at the station that had been encountered up to this point. Many people surrounded the station when the train arrived several hours late. Young, old people, people of all ages and conditions shouting themselves hoarse when Dr. Washington came into view, Every man, woman and child had an American flag which was being waved high in the air, while the band played "Dixie." One enthusiastic man, evidently returning from his work, pressed a new, shining, silver dollar into Dr. Washington' hand. With difficulty the party accompanying Dr. Washington wended its way to the waiting carriages. A woman grasped his hand. shouting "Praise the Lord," while still other man, perfectly contented that he had seen his leader, wont off declaring: "Now I's seed him and shuk his man; I's satisfied." The students of Central Texas and Paul Quinn Colleges gave him a joyous reception, and at night in the baseball park, while he was being introduced by city superintendent of schools, the Prof. J. C. Lattimore, the entire student body, male and female of Baylor University, a well known Southern College for while youth took seats on the grand stand. Prof. Lattimore in his introduction surprised Dr. Washington by giving a detailed account of the sights he witnessed and the impressions made upon him in a recent trip to Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Washington was warmly greeted by Dr. S. P. Brooks, president of Baylor University, Prof. Lattimore, Samuel Sanger, a Texas merchant prince, and other well known white men of Waco. A belated train greatly inconvenienced the waiting throng at Fort Worth, which in many respects is one of the most important towns from a Negro standpoint in the State. While the party was scheduled to reach Fort Worth in the afternoon and Dr. Washington was to have spoken at three o'clock, the audience of about 5,000 persons, a large portion of which were white, kept their seats in th theatre until 9 o'clock, when the train finally reached the city. The reception by recessa of the tardiness of the party, was none the less vigorous, and was in many respects a great tribute to the remarkable esteem in which R. C. Houston, the Fort Worth leader, is held by his fellow townsmen. Despite this handicap and the fact that the Fort Worth engagement was on Sunday night, all the prominent Negro business houses were open for the inspection of the party, the most interesting features in Negro life in Fort Worth being the Masonic Temple, erected at a cost of $50,000 and the Negro High School, which is considered the best in the South, and the large number of business establishments of various kinds conducted by the colored people. A large number of people heard Dr. Washington at the State Fair grounds in Dallas on Monday. In the matter of enthusiasm and spectacular display, the small town of Marshall outdid itself in the demonstration given Dr. Washington. The local Negro Business League had charge of the arrangements and with more than ordinary acumen, dispatched Dr. W. M. Dogan to accompany the party, within a few days of Dallas. Whatever Dr. Dogan saw at other places, he was able thereby to have Marshall surpass at other places. A parade, more than a mile in length, in which the various industrial divisions from Wiley University and Bishop College and the Central High-school were represented on tastily decorated floats. Girls from sewing classes were at work on the floats, from the printing partments, and so in all departments, emphasizing more than any other one divisions, the domestic science deining that the Wizard's doctrine of industrial education had taken root firmly in Texas. Small boys from the wood working departments dressed in overalts, carrying their tools, mule driven teams drawing street cleaning and street building apparatus, followed, while the parade was headed by the Wiley University brass band and the local Business League. As at other points visited, the people who attended the meeting seemed to be of the very best element, well dressed, well behaved. The singing by the Wiley University glee club here was a feature of the occasion. Dr. Washington was introduced by Hon. Chesley Adams, former cotty superintendent of public schools, who paid a high tribute to Dr. Washington and the Negroes of Harrison county. In the course of his remarks Mr. Adams sa:di "You have made a wonderful demonstration in honor of the distinguished citizen who is your guest, and I am glad to welcome him to our city in the name of every citizen, white and black whose love for humanity have been tested, whose broadminded conceptions have been proven to have been the best for the educational, moral, and spiritual uplift of the people. "I know of no great public leader whose advice to his people has been more helpful, more hopeful, and of greater influence than that of Dr. Booker T. Washington. I present him to you as one of the greatest men and most forceful educators of the day, and to one great leader of his people. The policies advocated by him, in their effectiveness mark him not only as a great teacher, but as a statesman. I present him as th greatest living character the Negro race has yet produced, in this or any other clime. I would to God that every Negro in East Texas stood within reach of his voice and listened while he reasoned to them out of his righteous judgment. "I'm presenting you to Harrison county, I present to you the best element of Negroes in the world. They are intelligent, peaceful and law-abiding, largely because of the influence of these two schools. Harrison county rightfully claims the best Negro citizenship in the State of Texas. "I have always believed that the education of the Negro would make him a better citizen. The South has been for a long time burdened by a great mass of brute ignorance. You make a brute out of yourself, when you continually carry a pistol to intimidate and dominate your neighbor." HIGHEST GRADE A Value Unqueased. Sold on $1.00 Profit Margin.

Thompson's National News Bureau.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 12.—If the people who do the voting have their say, the next chairman of the Republican National Committee will be the titon, Charles D. Hilles, the very capable Secretary to the President. Mr. Hilles is clearly the choice of the leaders of the party. Intensely loyal to his chief, and closely in his confidence on all matters of vital concern, his selection would certainly be satisfactory to President Taft. He is the unanimous choice of the Negro voters of the country, who will cut a large figure in the doubtful states of the North and West in the coming campaign. Mr. Hilles has shown especial consideration to colored republicans, and instances have been numerous when he has gone far out of his way to render members of the race valuable service, both in an official and a personal capacity. The colored people trust Mr. Hilles as they trust no other man mentioned in connection with the chairmanship, and under his guidance, they will rally cheerfully and enthusiastically to the Republican standard. Since his advent at the White House, the President's strength with the Negro masses has grown steadily and today the press of the race is practically united in support of Mr. Taft's re-nomination. The people are realizing that in Mr. Hilles the President has a safe adviser—a man who will tell the Chief Executive the exact truth, and keep him in touch with the actual conditions that arise from time to time. Sagacious and far-seeing, gifted with unusual tact, and possessing a genius for organization, it is conceded upon all hands that Mr. Hilles is just the man to carry on the next national campaign and lead the hosts to victory. His splendid work for the party in New York state in 1905 is not forgotten, and the effectiveness of his labors in giving vitality to the President's policies in Congress stamp him as a natural captain of men and an executive of rare quality. He is quiet in his methods, but gets results; and that is what counts in the final analysis. With President Taft "swinging round the circle," defending his ad- ministrative acts, the campaign of 1912 may be said to be fairly launched. The national committee meets in De- DIAMONDS combine three important qual- ities, all of which no other one thing possesses: 1 Beauty 2 Durability 3 Investment Value You can use them without decreasing their value.

Some have taken the view that there should be no action taken on the chairmanship until after the nomination in June—that Acting Chairman Hill shall hold over, as Mr. New did in 1908. The more aggressive and more experienced leaders are insisting that the election of a chairman be made a part of the December program. They correctly hold that next year's battle is not far away, and there is no time to lose in getting the chaos together in working shape. Since Mr. Taft is certain to be the nominee, and as Mr. Hilles is acceptable to Mr. Taft, every argument favors the election of Mr. Hilles at once, to allow him to adjust all factional differences within the party and form a compact organization in advance of the national convention. The colored republicans join with their level-headed white friends in insisting upon the election of a chairman of the national committee in December, and with particular emphasis, urge that the mattle of authority be placed upon the shoulders of Charles B. Hilles. A "TENNESSEE FIVE DOLLAR BILL" Have you taken the pains to study carefully the new $5-bill just issued from the Treasury. It is the first of this denomination to bear the signature of James C. Napier as Register of the Treasury. The peculiar thing about this greenback is that it is a veritable "Tennessee bill." On its face appear the signatures of J. C. Napier as Register and Lee McClung as treasurer. Both are sons of Tennessee. Also there appears the potrait of former President Andrew Jackson, another son of Tennessee. No other bill ever issued bears the imprimatur of three men from a single state. The unique coincidence in this case was first notice by Mrs. J. C. Napier, who called the attention of her worthy spouse to it. The bill is having a big run among the banks and people of the State of Tennessee. MR. NAPIER FOR TREASURER MAYBE. J. C. Napier may one day be Treasurer of the United States. Stranger things have happened. From a source deemed reliable, comes a rumor that at a certain period the nomination of Mr. Napier for Treasurer was practically decided upon. Just before the matter could be finally adjusted, some body worked up a scare about the "social complications" that might grow out of having a Negro in such an exiled position. This scare was of a piece with the racket that a bunch of bourbons tried to stir up with reference to the appointment of Mr. W. Lewis as Assistant Attorney-General. The opening offered by the resignation of Dr. W. T. Vernon later made it possible to provide for Mr. Napier in the office of Register, and there the polished Tennessee was stationed; and there he is today, filling the place with credit and distinction. A whisper comes via wireless that by and by Lee McClung, the present Treasurer, may be called higher by President Taft, and that, in such an event, the original purpose with reference to Mr. Napier will be revived and the latter will be named as Mr. McClungs successor. Although this may be mere gossip, it is pleasant to contemplate. It tickles the fancy, and warms the cockles of the Negro's heart. President Taft could not perform a service that would bring to him a larger degree of popularity among the colored people of the country than to make this rumor an accomplished fact, and open to the race another new door of hope. As United States Treasurer, Mr. Napier would reflect credit upon the entire nation. He would fill the office with grace and dignity. PEACE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS There is peace in the public schools—even if we had to have a menace of bloodshed to bring about this happy consumption. Assistant Superindependent Roscoe Conkling Bruce is masters of the situation. Superintendent Davidson will retain him, having found nothing to warrant a change in the office he has so efficiently administered. The rank and file of the patrons of the schools are satisfied with Mr. bruce. Problems of patronage and pull do not unbalance the mental poise of the new man from Nebraska. Mr. E. C. Williams at M street High; Dr. W. Bruce Evans at Armstrong Manual Training; and Dr. Lucy E. Moten at Normal School No. 2, are all giving eminent satisfaction, and there will be no changes. There is no likelihood that any member of the Board of Education will resign on account of the Bruce episode. Mr. Bruce has shown a moderation and restraint that is remarkable, and throughout the long and exasperating siege, he has had nothing to say. Not one direct statement can be attributed to him, touching the personal aspect of his case. He has spoken frequently, but always on some phase of the work of the schools, to which he has given his undivided attention. Teachers and pupils alike, are free in saying that Mr. Bruce is unquestionably the best equipped and ablest educator that has ever headed the colored schools in the District of Columbia. MISS NANNIE BORROUGHS' CHOOL WINS PRIZE Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Girls, at Lincoln Heights, D. C., was too busy with her work here to attend and address the Appalachian Exposition at Knoxville, Tenn., but accepted an invitation to send an exhibit of the products of the institution. World has tote that her exhibit has been awarded one of the choicest premiums given by the Exposition, the judges being made up of white men and women of the South, all experts in their special lines. This is a triumph of no mean proportions for the indefatigable Miss Burroughs, and shows in unmistakeable terms the fine quality of the training that our girls are getting at her great school. Miss Burroughs is now busy overseeing the erection of her new $50,000 building. The completion of this structure will give the school a spacious dining hall, additional dormitory space, and enlarged class-room facilities. She made a pronounced hit at the recent meeting of the National Baptist Convention at Pittsburg, and raised $2000 in cash for the institution, besides making for it a host of new friends. Musical critics are praising very highly Miss Burroughs' new production, entitled "The Negro Has Fought Every Battle But His Own." The words and Music are by Miss Burroughs, and it was sung with marked success at the last commencement by Miss Ophelia Porter, of New Orleans. Visitors to Washington will find themselves amply repaid by taking a trip out to Lincoln Heights and studying the work that Miss Burroughs is doing for the development of the heads, hearts and hands of 1,45 girls and young women of the race. THE ZION BISHOPS AT KNOX VILLE At the recent meeting of the Bishops' council of the A. M. E. Zion Church at Knoxville, Tenn., three significant actions were taken that bid fair to exert a vital influence upon the history that is to be made next year. In view of the fact that Mr. John C. Daney, formerly Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, has just finished a service of twenty-five years as editor of the publications of the Zion connection, it was voted that a suitable testimonial be provided for him, to be formerly presented at the meeting of the General Conference at Charlotte, N. C., next May. This is in recognition of his valuable labors for the uplift of the church and for his patriotic services in various state and national offices. By a unanimous vote, Bishop G. W. Clinton was recommended for a seat on the Jeanes Fund Board, to succeed the late Bishop Abram Grant. A test vote for the favorite candidates for the Bishopric, resulted In first place for Dr. J. S. Jackson, the energetic financial secretary, by a big margin. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, of this city, was second; and Dr. G. C. Clemcat, editor of the Star of Zion, ran third. This is a pretty strong inde- of the general temper of the Zion church in regard to the gentlemen leading for the Bishopric. HARMONY AMONG THE CAPITAL PRESS In spite of the fact that there may be some personal differences among the men of the local press, there is a striking unanimity of thought among the more important lines of activity. For instance: Each of the three papere here is favorable to the renomination of President Taft. They are supporting Roscoe Conkling Bruce for retention as Assistant Superintendent. They are in thorough sympathy with the policies enviacled by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and are ardent friends of Howard University and its President, Dr. W. P. Thirkield. Here is a harmony of sentiment that ought to bring golden results to all the interests represented. The correspondents are all on good terms, and a "love-feast" is among the things that are to happen soon. New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland and Boston will please sit up and take notice! PRESIDENT TAFT TO DENOUNCE LYNCHING. It is expected that President Taft will denounce the crime of lynching in a most emphatic way in his message to the regular session of Congress in December. Some weeks ago, where a delegation of colored men and women called upon the President, and asked that he send in a special message on this matter, he could not see that any good purpose could be served at the time by taking up the subject, on account of the radical divisions on fiscal measures. He promised, however, that he would at the opening of the next session, express himself in bitter opposition to the infamous practice of taking human life, without recourse to law. Although the President, a lawyer, realizes that lynching is a crime punishable only by the State, he is willing and anxious to set upon the crime the seal of his official condemnation as President of the United States. This will have a strong moral effect in crystallizing popular sentiment against the lynching evil. THE NEWS IN A NUTSHELL. The Tuskegee Club is to be revived. Counsellor J. Louis Taylor is president of the organization. Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary, headed a delegation of A. M. E. ministers, who went to Baltimore. Tuesday to attend the funeral of the late Bishop J. A. Handy. The Atlanta Independent is calling upon Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, to take up the cudg- THE ADVOCATE. els in behalf of the election of Col. Henry S. Jackson, postmaster at Arlanta, as national committeeman for the State of Georgia. The attitude of Col. Johnson on this matter is not known to your correspondent, but there is a strong feeling that Col. Johnson himself is a logical man for the job once held down by Col. Judson W. Lyons. The Negro represents 95 per cent of the republican party in Georgia. Why not a competent, experienced and aggressive Negro for National Committeeman, Brother Davis? The colored papers are winning commendation from every side for the very general reproduction of Booker T. Washington's convincing and illuminating series of articles on "The Man Farthest Down." Thousands who did not get to read the stories as published in The Outlook, are now getting the matter in a convenient form through their own race papers, and many are preserving them in permanent form in their scrapbooks. The articles are worthy of a careful reading. They show very plainly that the Negro in America is not, "the man farthest down," when the world's account is balanced. William B. Harris has been elected District Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the District of Columbia. There are about thirty subordinate lodges in this jurisdiction. Local sentiment among the members of the G. U. O. of O. F., favors the election of B. J. Davis, of Georgia, as National Grand Master. Former Grand Master and now Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, W. L. Houston, will probably succeed Editor Davis as Chief Justice of the Court. Mrs. Mattie E. Lomax, sentenced to be hanged November 20 for killing her husband last December, is critically ill with tuberculosis, and may not live until the date set for her execution. Argument is being made for a new trial. In all probability, the President will commute the sentence to life imprisonment, if the courts fail to grant a rehearing of the case. Public sentiment is very much averse to hanging a woman at the national capital. Secretary MacVeagh is still being warmly commended for his generosity in retaining three colored architects on the Treasury rolls, when the insufficient money on hand placed them on the list for dismissal. The broadminded head of the Treasury Department knows the handicaps under which the colored man labors when he tries to equip himself for work that is above the ordinary. More Negroes are employed at high salaries under Mr. MacVeagh than under any other Cabinet officer. He knows no man by his color. Competency and fidelity are his, only tests for recognition. The Amphion Glee Club, under the direction Prof. J. Henry Lewis, gave a fine concert Sunday evening at the New Howard Theatre. The house was crowded. Fourteen men were in the club at this entertainment, and each gave an excellent account of himself. The selections "Annie Laurie," Southern Melodies, and "Good Night" were exceptionally well rendered. Prof. Lewis, who is a painstaking musician and a producer, as well, is making arrangements to put on a popular opera in the spring. "Robin Hood," "Pinafore," "The Mikado," and "The Bohemian Girl" are being considered, and "The Pirates of Penzance" may be repeated. E. Smyth Jones, remembered the nation over by reason of his novel experiences in a Boston jail last year, when he converted a judge by the excellence of his poetry, is in the city for a few days. He has placed on the market a neat volume called "The Sylvan Cabin," embracing among other good things, his famous "Ode to Ethiopia." Mr. Jones is a native of Mississippi, and is selling his book to raise honey to complete his education at Harvard. Omer Sanders, of Indianapolis, son of the well-known manufacturer, Mr. H. L. Sanders, has matriculated in the commercial department at Howard University. He will specialize in commercial law. The census office force is feeling chesty. There will be no more removals between now and the first of the new year. The colored clerks are faring very handsomely under Director Durand. Lieut. R. E. S. Toomey, a poet and an attorney at law, has been given a substantial promotion in the office of the Auditor for the Post-Office Department. Lieut. Tomey served with credit in the Spanish-American War, and hails from Tennessee. W. T. Menard, formerly of the Government Printing Office, is now in charge of the job department of the Palisade Press, at Yonkers, New York, in addition to his duties on the Standard-Journal, voice of the colored citizens of Yonkers and New Rochelle. Counsellor L. Melendez King is preparing to establish a new fraternity called "The Order of Malachites." It will not only "take care of the sick and bury the dead," but will protect the civil rights of its members by enabling them to carry their grievenaces to the courts.

Dr. Arthur M. Brown, of Birmingham, Ala., a leading surgeon of the South, regardless of color, will be liberal support for the next presidency of th Nationa Medical Association. It was through the eloquent presentation of the beauties of Tuskegee Institute and his praise of the hospitality of Dr. Booker T. Washington, that the 1912 meeting of the N. M. A. is to be held at picturesque Tuskegee. General Menos, the new Haitian Minister to the United States, comes on the 15th. Dr. John Hurst, who is well acquainted with Gen. Menos, says he is a born diplomat and a statesman of quality. H. Punleus Sannon, the retiring Minister, has gone to Paris for an extended stay. Gen. Andrew S. Durt, formerly commander of the 25th Infantry, is at present the favorite candidate for delegate to the next Republican national convention. No colored running-mate is mentioned as yet, but Dr. J. R. Wilder may enter the race. Dr. Wilder is an original Taft man, and is immensely popular. The colored people of the nation are not overlooking, the fact that it was through the active intervention of President Taft that the colored schools of the District of Columbia are getting their rightful share of the Congressional appropriations this year. White and black are to share and share alike, according to population. The colored schools will be allowed approximately $1,000,000. $ Tally Holmes, instructor in mathematics in the M Street High School whose pay for eight months service as a teacher in Latin last year was held up by the District Auditor, was recently given a check for the $800 due him. N. B. Marshall, well-known by reason of his connection with the brow usville case as legal adviser for the discharged soldiers, is in the city. He is now a successful practitioner of law in New York City, and is a member of the bureau of publicity of the National Negro Independent League. It is said that Mr. Marshall is a receptive candidate for the office of Assistant Superintendent of the Washington schools. Dr. W. H. Davis, official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, is as busy as a hive of bees compiling the minutes of the minutes of the recent session of that organization at Little Rock, Ark.

Day, Chancellor of Syracuse University, was born in Washington county, Maine, October 17, 1845, and received his education at Bowdoin College. He entered the Methodist ministry in 1872 and filled various pastorates in New England cities, before he was called to the pulpit of Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church in New York City. While he was pastor of this church, in 1893, he was elected Chancellor of the Syracuse University which now has faculties numbering 250 and an enrollment of nearly 3,500 students. Dr. Day is recognized as one of the foremost educators in the country, and as a preacher he is said to have few equals in the Methodist communion. He was elected bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church in 1904, but resigned in order to continue his work at the university. BETTER THAN SPANKING Spanking does not cure children of bed-wetting.

This treatment also cures adults and aged people troubled with urine difficulties by day or night. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1911 The meeting of Republicans at Charleston, Tuesday, was a complete success and much good was accomplished. In fact, more was accomplished than the most sanguine excepted. That all candidates are to be nominated by a State wide primary will be good news to all, and makes it a case where the longest pole knocks the persimmons. Wetzel Republican. Statewide primaries is the keynote of the Republican gathering at Charleston this week, and this paper wishes to congratulate the party in this state for coming to such a sensible view of the situation. While many differ as to the unit which primaries should be conducted under, yet it must be understood that to insure harmony in the party primaries of some sort must be held, at which all Republicans can go before and ask for nomination to the several offices.—Shepherdstown Independent. The Republicans of West Virginia held a "get-together rally" at Charleston on Tuesday of this week. The State Committee met and called a general state wide primary for the nomination of all candidates, and appointed a committee of five, three of which are outside the committee to formulate rules for the conduct of same. Harmony was the watch word, and no more democratic debauches like that of last winter are likely to afflict the state.—Pieasants County Leader. The Republican State Committee did at Charleston just what it was expected to do and the prospect of party success has been greatly strengthened. In the first place a primary election was called for Tuesday, June 4, when the candidates for all state offices, except supreme judges, will be chosen, and it is probably that county and district tickets will be nominated at the same time. The federal and state officers all resigned from the committee and a new committee will be chosen at the primary election.—Wood County News. The committee, after patiently listening for two days to the advice and suggestions as offered by the party workers there assembled, wont into executive session and as a result of its deliberation we are to have an entire new executive committee which will be elected by the people in a primary election on the 4th of June, next. Not only will the rank and file of the party thus have an opportunity to say who the committee shall be, but the people will at that time vote direct for the candidates for state offices. While we have not seen the official call as issued by the committee, we presume that all county and district nominations will also be made at the same time.—Nicholas Republican. State Committee Meets The Republican State Committee met at Charleston, for the ostensible purpose of resigning, but nobody resigned. The committee was, however, ready to do anything else that the people wanted, and it was decided to nominate all officers by a general primary election next spring. This is a step in the right direction, but the main thing that the voters desired was the scalps of the state committee. The reason none of the committee resigned, as given by them, was that with them out of it, there would be nobody to run the party. A great many people believe that is just what the party needed. We believe the Republican party will carry the state next year, but we feel that the party would win easier without the state committee, which, as at present constituted, can not be regarded as other than a decided handle.—Buckhannon Delta. None of Your Business. What kind of a popular primary is going to be held? Who is going to promulgate the rules and regulations that are going to govern the conduct of said primary?—Clarksville Exponent. The Exponent is published in West Virginia, but its democracy is of the kind grown in the atmosphere of the F. F. V. and ante-bellum days and would be more appreciated further south than West Virginia. The above question asked by the Clarksburg Exponent was prompted by the Statewide primary order promulgated by the republicans as Charleston. It would have been in better taste if the Exponent had exercised its mental capacities in telling what it, other democratic newspapers and democratic members of the State legislature did to defeat a general primary election law. But since the Exponent has raised a question that is none of its business, we are going to answer it to keep the Exponent from scratching itself to death, for there is nothing so conducive of newspaper itch as asking questions which is none of your business and not having them answered. In the first place. It will be the kind of a primary the people want—A State Wide Primary. In the next place. The people are going to promulgate the rules and regulations of the primary just as the people promulgated, through representation at Charleston, the order for the primary. And in the next place. The republican party has learned that it is time to quit fooling with the people; while the democratic party is still fooling with the people. If you don't believe it just ponder—for a few minutes, on Watson and Chilton.—Moundsville Daily Journal. Republican Meeting At the meeting of the State Republican Committee held in Charleston Tuesday representatives were present from all parts of the State, and many diversified opinions were expressed as to the best methods of making the party nominations. Two things upon which everybody agreed was that the candidates should be nominated by primary election and that those members of the State committee holding state or federal offices should resign. Everybody was free and frank to admit that the defeat of the party last fall was its own fault. The majority of the voters in the State believe in the principles of the of the Republican party and further believe that the enactment of those principles into law has, in a large measure, made our country the prosperity it has enjoyed but they thought the party would continue in power whether they turned out and voted or not. It was the "stay at home" voter who defeated the party, not the fact that any great number of people had imbibed or subscribed to the Democratic faith. They have not, but those who believe in the party's principles should show their faith by their work. It is right that every Republican voter should have a say in nominating candidates, and that every safeguard should be used to the end that every vote polled should be counted as cast and the candidate receiving the plurality of votes, however small, should be declared the nominee and accorded the support of the whole party in the general election. If this is done and the fellows in almost every county who become "disgruntled" locally will put aside selfishness and work like they do when they have no "grouch", the "Gold Dust Twins" in this State will be so completely buried beneath the great avalanche of ballots that their resting place will never again be known.—Keyser Echo. Voice of the People Heard. Triumph for the people is the meaning of the outcome of the Republican conference at Charleston this week. Victory in 1912 is assured for the political party that has taken the initiative in this great progressive movement. The Democratic state machine, the foe of the people, will be routed and the voice of the people at the polls will win a glorious victory over machine machinations and its manipulators. The Democratic state machine was able by virtue of the Democratic majority in the legislature to prevent Governor Glasscoock's having a primary election bill enacted into law, but it was without either force or effect at the committee meeting and conference at Charleston to block the Republican party in its determination to give the people what they want. As the case stands now it is to be the people of the state against the Democratic state machine and its corruptionists of legislators. The action taken by the state committee at the Charleston conference is received with heartiest approval by the Republican newspapers of the state, which voice the sentiment of the people irrespective of politics on the question of a primary election, and only those under the domination of the Democratic state machine and in its employ are scowling—Clarksville Telegram. Party's Future Brightens. By leaving the whole matter of selecting a new committee, and nominating candidates to represent the Republican party in the next campaign, to the voters or the party in a statewide primary, the Republican State Central Committee has done that which is eminently right and proper. Its action in shifting all the responsibility on the shoulders of the people practically assures victory in 1912. The people just simply dote on responsibility in matters of this kind, and the party that grants it and gives the voters in its ranks a voice in the nomination of every candidate on its ticket is the one that reaps political success nowadays. From what we have learned up to the present time of the executive session of the committee in Charleston Tuesday, its members seem to have been unanimous in giving to the people the,right to say "who shall be who," and this assures harmony and a united front against the Democrats. As one of the correspondents present at the meeting has said, that famous old facility, or the party to close ranks and present a united and solid front against the common enemy was again manifested. If this condition is maintained through the primary and general campaign, as it doubtless will be, we say again, victory is assured.—Italeigh Herald. The Rule of the Square Deal. Usurpation of popular party pre-rogative may not have been carried to the extent that has been charged. There can be no gainsaying that it had been carried too far—a fact recognized by those who had been agents for political-mpractice. It is in the favor of those who have done wrong, however, as much as in the favor of those who have done right that when the crisis came all came to the altar ready for sacrifice. The party was but above the man. Competition had forced one man to play his advantage against another's until both had gone too far. But men's sense of reasoning had not been impaired and men have not come unresponsive to the popular will as was evidenced by the reality with which the house has been set aright. Party leaders themselves have been in cases forced to make voluntary concessions to the voters, and there is no question that the crisis has been met at Charleston, or at least will be fully met when the reforms have been honestly carried out redoubting to the lasting good of Republicanism. It is the recognition and re-establishment of a fundamental principle. — Parkersburg Dispatch-News. The meeting of Republican leaders at Charleston this week, to effect the re-organization of the state committee, and to take steps to elect one more representative of the rank and file of the party, will be whole some in solidifying the party, uniting them, closing old breaches and healing old sores. The dissention and factional fights in the past have mainly been caused by dissatisfaction with the committee filled to overflowing with federal office holders. Another move in line with popular demand is the nomination of all public officials from governor to constable by means of a statewide primary. The late session of the legislature failed to provide for a statewide primary but the leaders have listened to the insisit demands of the rank and file, and nominations by this method next year is practically assured. This is a step forward, and one in the right direction. The sovereign people are fully capable of naming those whom they would have administer the affairs of government, and a thousand times more capable than a little circle of federal office holders, whose highest aims were to perpetuate themselves in power. The meeting at Charleston does not mean that the re-organization will become effective at once, but will become effective when their successors have been chosen by the people, by methods yet to be determined. The actual re-organization may not take place for months yet, but the way has been paved.—The Grantsville News. The Republican Organization The Republican Organization. It can hardly be doubted that the splendid result of the great Republican meeting at Charleston the past week will create much satisfaction among Republicans throughout West Virginia. Here are the three things of vital importance which that meeting agreed upon and secured. First—The elimination from the state central Republican committee, the governing body and high court of the Republican party, all federal and state officials. Without reflecting upon any individual, it cannot be doubted that a quiet, but widespread and thoroughly grounded impression exists, to the effect that federal and state officials on this committee have exercised their power unwisely, and for their own benefit and the benefit of their superiors in office. Second—The primary principle has been thoroughly established. That is, either by state-wide or district primaries, the Republicans of this state will hereafter select their own candidates, without packed massed conventions and without candidate appointed delegations. Third—It has also been thoroughly established that never again will a Republican state committee arbitrarily make up a temporary roll for a state convention, and unseat daily elected delegates and fill their places with their own creatures, whatever plan of primaries is adopted. The state-wide primary plan necessarily eliminates the convention. The district plan suggested by Governor Glasscock and others provides that certificates of the county and district committees shall be accepted as final in making up the temporary call, and whatever contests if any occur, shall be passed direct THE ADVOCATE. to the convention for settlement by it. It is difficult to express exactly what these three things mean to the Republican party in West Virginia. They mean the elimination of nineteenth of the causes or friction and discord that have heretofore prevailed. They mean the substantial assurance of the Republican voters. Insofar as legislation and rules can assure them, of fair, honest and equitable methods in the selection of their candidates. If the same wisdom prevails in perfecting further details and rules governing the various county, senatorial and congressional committees and governing the primaries to be held, and the same good sense and harmony are exhibited in the efforts to settle local difficulties, the Republicans of West Virginia in 1912 will present a united front and march on to a splendid victory.—Wheeling Intelligencer. The recent action of the State Republican Committee in ordering a state-wide primary is indeed commendable. We'of Tyler county must bear in mind that this is our only hope, in fact our only chance of eradicating the common enemy to all who are residents of the county and owners of a single dollar's worth of property. In the last election party lines were cast to the four winds and the voters rose like a devouring element and turned down those whom they could no longer trust, choosing as their servants parties in no wise connected with the ring that has dominated political parties these many years in this country. services rendered the county by it, who were the almost un- monious voice of both parties have be- hold to the notice of the pub- lish man, ways and, should the charges be just many of these officials pro- true, too, are unfit to serve a, how be custed. The question, while, naturally arises in the pubh., ind. "What can be done to once honesty in the county? This question is easily here. Drive out corruption and home officials will at once supplant those leged vicious prepetrators of so many diabolical outrages, outrages that have few parallels in the political history of the state. It seems preposterous to think there can be found no person within the County of Tyler who can be relied upon sufficiently to place him in an office of public trust. We must not think of the matter in this light. There are good men at hand—plenty of them, it is generally conceded that the people in party holds the means of war in the county, therefore at time for the party to cast about for some means whereby it can be enabled to eliminate entirely at hybird elfique which is composed of unscrupulous and corrupt Democrats ably seconded by the dirty element in the Republican ranks and commanded in person by one, Isaac, the Master of John. If ever there was a time when all parties (locally) should unite in defense of the common good and once and for all time deliver a solar plexus to this gang it is now. You may think it premature to begin talking politics but we contend that the one who takes the initiative will be the one to carry their cause to victory. It is the duty of Tyler's three newspapers to stand together in this fight. Already the "common enemy" is planning to sweep through the primary on the plinths of victory. He is picturing his henchmen, each to be rewarded by some fat little political plum, or, at least, debating how he may "hover" them beneath his protecting wings for years to come. Let every voter in the County of Tyler becomes keenly awake to the fact that the very means whereby the gang expect to again dominate the affairs of the county will prove a sword of destruction in the hands of the citizens of Tyler county. We honestly believe that 95 per cent of the citizens of the state will openly and willingly endorsed a state-wide primary which seems to be the only chance the people have of outsiding the leeches that have fastened their mouths upon the wounded and well-nigh prostrate body of political freedom.—Sistersville Oil Review. Epoch Making Step. The Republicans of the state have shown that they are sincere in advocacy of primary elections and the Republican party as represented at the big Charleston conference made history there. The party has the distinction of putting into actual practice advocacy of a state-wide primary, the first within the fifty years' history of the state. The state committee has actually called such primary and fixed the date for it. Preliminary steps have also been taken for the drafting of rules and regulations to insure an honest expression of the people as to candidates, the committee going wisely so far as to instruct its sub-committee to consult jurists as to the best methods to guarantee a strictly fair, honest and impartial primary election. The plan of holding the election all over the state the same day certainly is in harmony with the determination to have a fair election. The provision that every county shall conduct its part of the election is assuredly in the interest of an open, free and unrestricted popular voicing of sentiment by ballot. The provision that all the election officers and machinery are to be selected by the counties and not by the state committee should meet every fair demand in that respect. That virtually eliminates the state committee. Another important action taken at the conference is the provision for the election of members of the state committee, every senatorial district electing its own members at the state-wide primary by a direct vote of the people and two members at large being elected in a similar manner. This certainly ought to reach the principle of the people controlling as closely as it is possible to reach it. What more could be asked.—Clarksburg Telegram. SALESMEN DON'T KICK ABOUT HARD TIMES R. W. Kelly, of Parkersburg, is among the guests at The Kanawha. Mr. Kelly is a traveling salesman who has a good trade in and about Charleston, and is one of the number that is never kicking about hard times. When business is dull in his line he just works a little harder and sells just as many goods as when the season arrives during which good goods almost sell themselves. CHARTER ISSUED. A charter was issued t othe Pittsburg Coal and Coke Clearing Company, Incorporated, of Pittsburg, Pa., the purposes of which is to buy and sell coal and coke, operate for coal, and manufacture coke. The authorized capital is $5,000, of which $50 has been paid. The incorporators are H. F. Dammels, F. P. Foster, E. B. Taylor, H. F. Dammels, Joseph R. Murphy, all of Crafton, Pa. The Metropolitan Club, of Wheeling, obtained a certificate of incorporation yesterday afternoon. The purpose of the corporation is to protect its intercourse, maintain a biffard, operate a biffard and pool the incorporators are Daniel, Piper, Arthur Prater, T. Branch, Bologne Buhne, and Owen Payne, all of Wheeling. ACTUAL REPRODUCTION OF MINE EXPLOSION IS FEATURE OF PROGRAM At the Pittsburg Safety Mine Exposition This Month Washington, Oct. 17—The actual reproduction of an explosion in a coal mine promises to be the really dramatic feature of the two day's program of the National Mine Safety Demonstration, October 30 and 31, at Pittsburg, Pa. The demonstration, which is under the auspices of the Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross and the Pittsburg Coal Operators' Association has for its purpose a friendly meeting of the mine owners, superintendents and the miners from all over the country to witness and talk over the dangers of the mines and the remedies for certain of the dangers, as advocated by the Bureau of Mines. The Bureau has long been of the opinion that coal dust in a mine was more of a menace to the miner than gas and has frequently demonstrated this in an experimental steel tube, at its station, Fortieth and Dutter Streets, Pittsburg. These experiments, showing how easily the coal dust becomes ignited and causes an explosion, have been taken as conclusive by the great majority of mine owners and superintendents and now great precautions are being taken to keep down the coal dust in mines. The question has however risen, not only in this country, but also in European coal producing countries, whether the results obtained in the experimental tube are the same as would be found in a mine under working conditions. In order to settle this problem, and to make still more conclusive the bureau's contention that coal dust is the real danger of the mines, the bureau's engineers started the digging of a mine at Bruceon, Pa., twelve miles from Pittsburgh. The mine, which was planned to resemble many commercially operated mines in Pennsylvania and other states, is now ready for the experiments. The bad practices found in mines where the lives of men are risked, will all be contained in the experimental mine, and black powder, the most dangerous explosive in dangerous mines will be used. Most mine explosions are caused by what the miners term "blown-out" shots. That is, the explosive, instead of breaking the coal, blows out through the hole drilled in the coal to contain it, sending a stream of flame into the mine. This flame generally ignites the gas or coal dust. The engineers will reproduce the "blown-out" shot. They will make certain that it will be a 'blown-out' shot and then will watch for results. These experiments will take place the afternoon of October 30. The next morning, at Forbes field, the baseball park, there will be friendly contest between first-aid teams of minors from nearly 100 mines. President Taft will witness this part on the program. Already more than 20,000 miners have declared their intention of witnessing the experiments. Miners in the Pittsburgh district have been granted a holiday for the 31st and the railroads have agreed upon a two cent a mile rate within 250 miles of Pittsburg. The Central Passenger Association has also granted excursion rates through its territory. STAR FIRST SACKER ON THE CINCINNATI TEAM But few West Virginians are traveling in as fast company as is Dick Hoblitzell, the star first-sucker for the Cincinnati Reds. He has made good from the first day he donned a Queen City uniform and immediately became a great favorite with the Cincinnati fans. He is a sturdy sticker, and covers a world of territory in the neighborhood of the initial bag. The fact that he is to be here with his team next Saturday and Sunday is the source of pleasure to the local fans for they are found of the Parkersburger and likt to see him work. Hobbitzell was formerly a valuable man on the gridiron, too, and could hold his own in nearly any position on a football eleven. His favorite sport in an amateur way, through, was base ball and he made up his mind when he was still in knee pants that some day he would become a good player. He has realized that ambition and will practice denistry as soon as he gets through with a career on the diamond, thus realizing another ambition. His services for next season are wanted and needed in St. Louis and it is likely that he will be traded by Cincinnati for two other players and a neat sum of money in addition. Getting the Reds here for two games, was the work of "Uncle Joe" Wehrle, than whom there is a no more ardent fan and mogul in Charleston. When the regular team from the Mountain States League did not take advantage of the chance to book the Griffites, "Uncle Joe" got in his work and selected some of the All-Collegians and others who have made good in the Mountain States Company and has a team that will make the visitors sit up and take notice and give to the fans an article of the real thing in baseball. GRANT GRAHAM, BACK FROM THE WEST REVISITS CHARLESTON Mr. U. Grant Graham, of Sioux City, Iowa, who was called to Ravmond City by the death of his brother, Mr. David Graham, who was killed by a K. & M. train a few days ago is spending a few days in this city visiting relatives and looking up old acquaintances. Mr. Graham was raised in this city and when a young man started to work for Mr. Chas Ward who at that time run a shop where the store of B. Engle is now located. About twenty-three years ago he starred out to seek new fields for his labors and since then has traveled a great deal, and worked in various places, having been with the Gas and Engine Power Company of New York, Chas. L. Seabury & Co., on the Hudson, and later employed in installing machinery and boiler at the expositions held at Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, and two at Omaha. Afterward he was with the Omaha Packing Co., and for the past ten years has been master mechanic at the Sioux City plant of Armour & Co. When asked what he thought of his old home town, Mr. Graham said that in all his traveling around he had never run across a city of the same size that could compare with Charleston, or that seemed to have as bright a future. This is his second visit home in the past twelve years. LOVE OF HORSES. Unless death or an unexpected delivery releases him, Elmer Ney, serving a term in the penitentiary, will likely be in the Moundsville institution until March of next year. He was sent up in November, 1909, from Marion county, after having been convicted of horse stealing. A young man of the name Nay was sent to the pen at the same time for the same offense, was pardoned, it having been shown that the part he took in the theft was due to the influence of the elder. Elmer Nay is considerably past the age of fifty years and claims he has but a short time to live and would consequently like to breathe the air of freedom once more before he answers the call that will take him out of reach of his neighbor's horses, cows, etc. Governor Glasscock reviewed the case thoroughly after the petition had been investigated by Pardon Attorney E. G. Pierson and decided to show the convict no clemency. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Peking, October 16—A report received here says that the Rebels have captured a Chinese warship off Hankow, and that the Imperial troops which have retreated from Hankow are mobilizing at Chumatien, one hundred miles north of here. SHOOTING AEFRAY Nute Smith, colored, was before Judge MacCorkle this morning on a charge of felonious shooting, and trial was postponed until tomorrow morning. This case is the outcome of a fight that occurred at Lick Branch Saturday night, about one o'clock. The colored people had a dance at the old Wintz store on Lick Branch, and after the dance broke up which was about 12 o'clock, the party was standing around waiting for the rain to let up when, according to Smith's statement, the trouble occurred. Smith was starting to bring his sister to town and a colored boy by the name of Dave Fields objected, and started a fight in which Smith was cut with a knife. Fields then ran to his home, near by, and secured a shot gun saying that he would kill Smith, and Smith had run to the house of his brother, who lives close by and secured a revolver with which to defend himself and went to get his sister to go home and as he started down the track he ran into Fields who raised his gun and started to shoot when Smith pulled his revolver and fired two shots, one which took effect in Fields' side. Smith came to the city and gave himself up to Lieutenant Murphy, and Fields was taken to the Charleston General Hospital. James Conley, violating health ordinance; $5.00 and turned over to Street Commissioner. Warren Pitt (colored, plain drunk; $1.00 and suspended. Henry Smith, (colored), charged with stealing shoes from C. Pickens, the Charleston street merchant, was dismissed for lack of evidence. Roy Statts, charged with assault; case continued until tomorrow. F. F. Harrison, barber at the Fleetwood, charged with keeping open on Sunday, $1.00 and suspended. Judge MacCorkle, after passing sentence in this case, gave his reasons for suspending the sentence. He said he did not propose to have this city get in the same position that at one time happened in Newport News, where a fight started over practically the same proposition, and wound up with an attempt to stop the street cars from running on Sunday, and he further said that there was a question in his mind whether or not, in this case, an actual violation of the law had occurred. At a recess meeting of Board of Affairs held Saturday afternoon for the purpose of going over the proposed water franchise, the question of the semi-centennial celebration came up for discussion and a resolution bearing on the matter was proposed and adopted, the substance of which is as follows: That at a meeting of the semi-centennial commission is to be held in Clarksburg on November fourth for the permanent organization and discussion of the selection of a semi-centennial program for the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the State, and as Charleston has not yet made an effort to secure the celebration, that the mayor appoint a committee of five to attend th meeting and represent the claims of Charleston. In accordance with the resolution the mayor appointed the following: F. M. Staunton, Fred Paul Grosscup, Phil G. Walker, Charles K. Payne and J. P. Puffer. The committee will immediately organize and take necessary steps to place Charleston's claims before the commission.
