FRIDAY JULY 4, 1913 FOURTH OF JULY AND THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG This day 137 years ago, the Declaration of Independence was adopted and the thirteen colonies united in one grand effort to liberate the people of the states from British oppression. It was the spirit of liberty and freedom which inspired the Fathers of this Republic to such deeds of heroism and sacrifice. It was the world-wide struggle for liberty which brought forth victory. Even though America declared herself free and stated in the declaration that all men were free and equal yet the crack of the slave drivers whip was heard throughout the land, the baying of the blood hound struck horror to the soul of thousands of human beings for years after and the auction block for the sale of mother, father and children was a familiar sight. Not until the battle of Gettysburg was fought 87 years later was it definitely determined that physical freedom would be a fact instead of a theory in this country. After the victory achieved by the forces of freedom and union in that great battle the great champions of liberty, freedom and equality received new hope because they knew that the slave trade was doomed. The strength and even the spirit of the South was broken. On the third day of July 1863 the rebellion was proven a failure and a new nation was born dedicated to freedom. This week a great reunion and celebration is taking place on that battle field. The Yankee and the Rebel are shaking hands in brotherly love, both sides are making excuses for the struggle and nothing is heard of the underlying cause of the war of the Rebellion. None of the speech makers refer to human rights and few mention equality before the law. Liberty is only referred to in general terms and even though the black soldiers and statesmen contributed much to the success of that war, yet they are missing from the reunion upon its greatest battle field. Is liberty, justice and equality in the United States a mockery? Has she forgotten the struggle, blood, tears and suffering of her sons to erect upon this continent a government dedicated to liberty? Has she lost sight of the hardships and deaths of thousands of her sons to make the U. S. a government "Of the people, by the people and for the people." We believe that the spirit of the fathers of the Republic and its saviours has forsaken the land and that this generation is content to attempt to bluff the world by pretences and to give liberty to only a part of her citizens. Year by year since the War of the Rebellion the South has regained what it lost in battle. She is only without her slaves today, but the children of those slaves are without liberty and justice full equality is unknown to them. To them the celebration and re- today is a hollow mock ```markdown ``` ery, the Stars and Stripes a symbol of liberacy and oppression. We trust that only a few years will pass ere America will not truly free when all her children will enjoy the blessings of liberty, equality will be a fact instead of a theory, discrimination will cease and justice reign supreme. Then and not until then can this nation really rejoice ann be proud and the battle of Gettysburg be other than an empty victory. There is no freedom without liberty, no equality with discrimination on account of race and no justice as long as the mob rules and wealth, power and influence dictate the decision of judges. WE STILL ADHERE TO OUR POLIGY Below we publish a letter from Rev. Shrum asking that we this continue sending the paper to him because of our article toward the miner's union. This is one of many that we have received but we still adhere to our policy of advising the colored miners to refuse to join the union as long as the union discriminate against Negroes and is generally unfair in its dealing. Such agitators as Shrum, who have never done a days work in the mines and has no other interest in the miners than to fleece them are causing all the trouble, suffering and bad feeling that it gets the miners throughout the state. The honest working men are glad to read the Times and in the Flat Top and Winding Gulf coal fields they are following the advice given by the Times. Shrum paid 25c on his subscription and The Mc Dowell Times will not suspend publication because he fails to pay more. THE LETTER. Eccles, W. Va. June 20, 1913 Mr. M. T. Whittico, Of The McDowell Times. Of The McDowell Times. Dear sir and Editor:—Please discontinue my subscription for your paper. As it has a stand against union labor, for that cause I don't want the paper any longer. Respectfully yours, REV. M. L. SHRUM. NEW YORK COLORED NATIONAL GUARD We are publishing this week a copy of the Bill providing for a company of Colored National Guards in New York City. It is one of the best laws passed in recent years in the interest of the Negro. Governor Sulzer of New York, though a Democrat, has proven himself fair and friendly toward the Negro. The signing of the National Guard Bill is not the first instance of the unpartiality and fairness of the New York governor toward the Negro. When the Brownsville affair was before Congress Mr. Sulzer who was then a member of the House of Representatives was one of the two Democratic Congressmen to speak against the discharge of the soldiers of the 25th Infantry without a trial. The signing of the Civil Rights Bill recently was another act which marked the Empire State governor as a great, fearless and fair man. It is such men as Sulzer that all liberty loving, fair minded men should support for office regardless of race or party. Governor Sulzer is the only man in public life today who has shown that he is favorable to the Negro in the army. Split Skirts The harem skirt, the peek a boo shirt waist, the sheath gown of a few years ago were emblems of modesty compared with the split skirt of this season. Of all the indecent, immodest and vulgar pieces of wearing apparel worn by women in their insane desire to be fashionable, this travesty on modesty and decency is the limit. Why women, who should be modest and encourage purity should wear such vulgar dresses and fall over themselves for the most immodest effects in styles is a mystery to mere male plodders like ourselves. It would be equally as decent to expose to the view of the gaping public any her part of the body. When men desire to see female limbs, they go to the vaudeville and our eque shows where the m. nagers are careful to select the most symmetrical for their gaz, while most of these exposed by the split skirt are more disguiting than attractive. No mother, with control over her daughter and wishes her to be gentle, modest and good will permit her to wear the split skirt. If young girls do not know the fitness of things and their parents have no regard for public decency the city officials should take the master in hand out of regard to public morals. Only a few of the vulgar variety have been seen upon the streets of Keystone and none are worn at present by the better class of colored people. Funeral of Mrs. Viola Sanders Funeral of Mrs. Viola Sanders --- The funeral of Mrs. Viola Sanders was prescheduled Wednesday of this week by Rev. R. P. Johnson, pastor of Ebenzer Presbyterian church, Kimball, W Va. at the home of her husband, Prof W. W. Sanders at Welch. The sesmon was able, forceful and lquent Rev. L. Dabney of Freeman make some complimentary remarks concerning the life of the deceased who taught school some years ago at Bm well. The buryery was read by Etto M. T. Wattice. The polite bearers were Russell Jackson, Ratus Lee, Aph Pennx J. Jae Onver, G. R. Missely, Dana Miers, Eld Pison, John Ducing. M T. Whitico and A G. Froe. Interment took place in the Bluefield cemetery and was attended by a large number of people from Welch, Kimball and Keystene. OBITUARY Frances Viola Baltimore Sanders was born in Chambersburg, Pa, October 14, 1887. She was the daughter of Armsted and Anna Baltimore, both of whom are deceased. Miss Baltimore was educated in the Graded and High schools of Chambersburg and at Scotia Seminsry. In addition to her literary training she was a proficient musician and delighted in playing and singing. The deceased came to West Virginia in 1909, taught school for one year at Bramwell and two years at McDowell. She was married to Prof. Wm. W. Sanders June 5, 1912. Mrs. Sanders was converted at the age of 14 years and became a member of the Presbyterian chnrch at her home. After coming here she becaams a member of the church of her taith at Kimball. She was taken ill January 1, 1913 and was never well again. The deceased was a consistent Christian and bore her suffering with patience and fortitude. She never murmured or complained and was more solicitous about the welfare of others than herself. Before the end came on the morning of June 30, she gave her husband directions as to how and where she wished to be buried and spoke beautifully of the life to come. Her spirit of resignation was sublime and she felt absolutely assured of a future life of health, happiness and contentment. The touching appeal which she made to her husband and friends not to grieve or worry for her was a solace to their wounded hearts. The faith and hope expressed by the departed was strong, beautiful and sublime. Mrs. Sanders was a member of the Independent Order of St. Lukes and was dearly beloved by all who knew her. Even those who did not know her intimately liked her and showed deep interest in her welfare. She leaves a devoted husband, five sisters, six brothers to mourn their loss. She was a loving, true and faithful wife, a kind, devoted and gentle sister, and was admired by all who perchance had the good fartnne to meet her. Mr. A. M.

NEGRO ELKS ARE ENJOINED Dayton, Ohio, July 1—Members of the negro lodges of Elks throughout Ohio and especially in Dayton are now barred from using any of the paraphanalis and insignia in common with those other men who are members of the white order, according to a decision handed down by Judge A. C. Risinger of Eaton today in a case filed in the Montgomery county courts. The action was brought by All Demyer and others of the Dayton branch of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World and the Improved Order of Elks of the World. Judge Risinger says the Negroes "deserve great praise for their appreciation and affection for the ethics, philosophy, fraternalism and social spirit prevailing." Upon 8 15 a.m. June 24, 1912 Miss Mossella Colston and Mr Norman Bacchus of Wevaco were written in the bonds of holy matrimony by R. v. A. Hall Whitfield. The bride entered the parlour upon the arms of her brother to loved by the groom and the sister of the bride, Miss Mithu. After the ceremony, breakfast was served and the young cousin left for their future home a Vevaco. Their many friends wish for them a long and happy voyage upon the sea of matrimony. FOR PARDON ATTORNEY Considerable Interest Taken in the Candidacy of Samuel Solina (Welch Notes in Bluefield Telegraph) Considerable interest is being manifested at this place in the candidacy of our townman, Samuel Solins, for the office of pardon attorney. Mr. Solins is a young man of sterling qualities and well fitted to hold the position for which he is aspiring. In the primary and fall elections of last year he went out into the field and, together with some of his influential Hebrew friends, worked untimely for the election of our present executive, as a result of which work more than two-thirds of the H brews of the state N. 5 cast their vote with one voice for Governor Hattie. Mr. Salins has been located in Welch or the past two or three years, during which time he has won a name for himself at the bar, and his many friends and admirers through at this section are ready to support in his candidacy for office feeling that no better fitted or more impartial man could be chosen to fill the place. EDITOR'S NOTE We quote the above from the Daily Telegraph of one of this week's issue, and the Times takes delight in passing a good word along for our esteemed friend, Samuel Solins. The colored boys of McDowell have no better friend than Attorney Solins of Welch, and they admire him for his hustling qualities, clean record and straight Republicanism. Sam Solins was raised in Kimball and educated himself in the West Virginia University, being a West Virginia boy; and the part he took in the past fight for Governor Hatfield needs no recommendation. He is eminently fitted for the office of Pardon Attorney, and his many friends both in McDowell and throughout the state wish him success in his candidacy GOLDEN RULE NEWS Reports are coming in daily to the office and nearly all of them contain applications for new members. The Golden Rule Association is still meeting its claims promptly. Rev. R. H. McKoy, the President, preached the annual sermon for Morning Star Association, No 23, at Lovely Zion Baptist Church, Vivian, W. Va.. las Sunday and paid the endowment of Bro. W. H. Banks, before an overflowing congregation. The association led by Mrs. Beulah Slade and Mr. Anderson Johnson and the Nursery, led by Mrs. Lee Cheatham, formed a fine procession All and all Sunday was a great day with the Golden Rule people of Vivian and many who were not members, after seeing the parade, hearing the splendid papers, listening to the sermon and seeing the endowments paid, decided that they would join at once. New Hope Association, No. 2, of Upland had their annual sermon preached by Rev. J. E. Pryor. They, too, had a great day. The house was crowded and members were especially delighted at the convincing manner in which Rev. Pryor presented the claims of the Golden Rule Association upon our people. From the interest manifested Sunday, we feel sure that New Hope Association will increase its membership. Agent Richard Ham his faithful officers are workid with new zeal.

Edd Haley Stabbed By His "Wife" and Dies Instantly Wednesday night of this week, Edd Haley met his fate at the hands of his "wife" who stabbed him over the heart. He died almost instantly. The cause is, perhaps, unknown, except in what she says: that he was aiming to cut her with a razor and she got her blow in first. The trouble was in their room and the only eye witnesses to the affair were the two. Bess Hailey, his widow, is now in jail. Edd Halley was better known as Monk Hailey. The belief is that he, and perhaps she, was under the influence of "deep" or cocaine. Monk was a very good worker and, on general principles, was a quiet, peaceable and trust-worthy fellow. KEYSTONE HAS EYE SPECILIST Dr. M. M. Tinsley, the eye specialist, comes to Keystone,very highly recommended.

Dr. Tinsley is thoroughly qualified and will give satisfaction. MARTINSVILLE NOTES Mrs. Lucy Evans is on the sick list. Mrs. Edna Eggleton is home sick. J. H.
