McDOWELL COUNTY OFFERS EXCELLENT OP PORTUNITIES TO THE LABORING MAN. VOLUME 11 KEYSTONE COR- RESPONDENT? TO ADVOCATE Is he Ignorant, Malicious or Plain Liar Which? In an article under the caption "Black Boys, Squabbling," appearing in the "Victoria" last week, under a Keystone date line and purporting to have been written by song one in this city, the writer shows that he is absolutely ignorant, terribly malicious or a monumental liar, and probably all three combines with an adjective preceding the first The McDowell County Colored Republican Organization is as a matter of fact stronger, more active, more able and can do more effective work before it is history. No matter how men from this county ever agree, make, nor have the power to agree to take any position other than the one asked by the colored organization and everybody in McDowell county confidently expected the State Librarian to be appointed from this county and from among the four men suggested. Every man who attended the K. of P. Grand Lodge from this county was satisfied that Governor Hattfield would either appoint W. W. Sanders, or T. Edward Hill State Librarian, and some even nearly a week in advance of the announcement that W. W. Sanders would be appointed State Librarian and not Field Agent. There was no "ship of a coq" whatever. The Colored Republican Organization asked for one position from first to last, believed they would get it and did get it. There waver any attempt to "sidetrack" Proof Sanders and the organization never attempted to dictate to Proof Sanders whom he should appoint as messenger. In fact B. D. Patterson applied to Gov. Hattie for the position, the application was referred to Prof. Sanders who wrote Mr. Patterson that if he secured the endorsement of some friends and the officers of the organization he would receive the appointment. The endorsements were given and Mr. Patterson appointed instead of "rudely turning them down" Prof. Sanders wished to know the desire of the organization, and more recently the State Librarian has written that he will be in Keystone on the 17th of November to attend the meeting of the organization and that any attempt to disrupt the organization will meet with his opposition. The part of the article referring to the Emancipation Celebration on September 22nd shows dence ignorance or gross perversion of the truth. For three weeks prior to the celebration, it was announced through the columns of the Times that Mr. Cooper would be the speaker of the day and for two weeks half page "tabs" were printed in the same paper with Mr. Cooper's name in 72 point type. Every man in the vast audience was favorable to Mr. Cooper with the exception of one man and he stated that he did not know whether he would be for him or not, he was undeviated. The resolutions endorsing Mr. Cooper were prepared in the office of the McDowell Time, and not a dozen men were opposed to the endorsement. These few were not opposed to Mr. Cooper but were against an endorsement at that time. The writer makes the prediction that in the primary Mr. Cooper will receive a majority of at least 5,000 votes in McDowell county. There are some "malecontents" in the McDowell County Colored Republican Organization as in all other organizations. Men—even colored men—differ upon questions of method and policy. There are "outs" who wish to get in office and there are "ins" who wish to remain IN, but when it comes to a battle with this common enemy or a fight for the interests of the "black boys" of McDowell every Negro in McDowell county will be and facing the fire should to shoulder all any who hope to "get next" because of a supposed division in the ranks of the colored boys in McDowell county will have a rude awakening and be sadly disappointed. The Keystone Correspondent" to the "Advocate" imagines vain things. Japan Demands Equal Rights; Will Retaliate. Washington, Oct. 2.2. The insistence of Japan on the prompt settlement by the State Department of the questions effecting the "national honor of Japan" has caused a renewal of the worry of the Administration over that acute issue. Japan repeats her demand that racial equality be settled for all time, reasserts the violation of the treaty of 1911 with vehement, and persists in her contention that the treaty of 1911, like all other treaties on sovereign states, is par- The McDowell Times. an attempt to the statutes of a state. The question has been renewed with ominous interest at the Department by the news totally unexpected that Japan was now launching a new note in the form of Japan's ideas of what a new treaty between the United States and Japan should contain. This comes after Ambassador Chinda made three fruitless efforts to get a reply to the former note, which was allowed to await the return of John Bassett Moore. It is learned, nevertheless, that Japan has incorporated in her new note or draft of treaty an unequivocal declaration of the equality of the Japanese and American races. It farther makes very plausim that if there shall be any treaty and the United States should insist on specific citizenship disabilities of Japanese in the United States, Japan will make no treaty unless the State Department shall submit to similar humiliation as to American residents and citizenship and race distinction in the territory of the Mikado. West Va. Colored Institute Meets Wilberforce on Friday November. 7th Much interest centers in the football game to be played between the Institute team and that of Wilberforce University Friday, November 7 at Institute. Institute and Wilberforce have played two games before. The first was tied and the last Wilberforce won in a score of 12 to 7. As this is the third game between the teams of these two institutions, unusual interest is being manifested in it. Institute has played two games of football with the State Normal School of Kentucky and won both: played on with the State University of Louisville and won. The baseball team of Institute has played six games with Wilberforce and won four; played four with the State Normal School of Frankfort, Ky., and won three. It may thus be readily seen that from an athletic standpoint, The W. Va. Colored institute holds the championship over Ohio and Kentucky. The people of Charleston will have an unusually good opportunity to witness the games this year at Institute, as a public ferry has been established at Institute whereby passengers can cross from the interurban line running from Charleston to St. Albans. This will enable all persons desiring to see the game to leave Charleston at 1:30 and reach Institute at 2:10 in full time to witness the sport. The registration at the W. Va. Colored institute has reached 2:25 for the fall term. About 40 per cent of these are boys. In keeping with the proclamation sent out by Nupt. Shawkey, the school observed Clean Up Day, Friday, Oct. 10th. The students were assigned to different teachers for direction. At 3:30 all the buildings were inspected by teachers appointed for that purpose. At the chapel exercises Friday morning. President Prillerman gave a short talk on the purpose and importance of the day, and urged all to catch the spirit of the occasion and make this one of the important days in the school year. GRIEF MARSHALL ACCIDENTLY KILLED Grief Marshall, of this city, a minor aged forty years was found dead with his soul fractured in the branch beyond the Keystone Coal and Coke Co. store last Saturday morning by See Lottus. Mr. Marshall was last seen alive Thursday night, October 9th about 11:30 o'clock. He left Caliboom's saloon shortly before this hour and those who saw him last say that he had been drinking very freely. It is thought that while on his way home he stepped out of the path which led upon the edge of the embankment and fell to the bottom some thirty feet below, striking his head against the rocks on the bank. There was some suspicion of foul play and Bruno Angelo, an Italian whom it is alleged Marshall had had some trouble with was arrested upon suspicion. It was reported to the authorities that after the trouble Angelo made threats against the life of Marshall, but after the Coroner's inquest Angelo was released, Dr. K. K. Bragonier performed the autopsy and a corner jery composed of Wm James, Edd Evans, J. E. Parson, Mr. Davis and J. M. Laminik held an inquest and rendered a verdict "that Grief Marshall came to his death by accidentally falling over a precipice back of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company's store opposite the home of Mr. Doyle, striking his head against rocks causing a fracture of the skull." Grief Marshall was married, a worker and well known in Keystone. He was a native of Henry county, Virginia, and leaves a wife and a number of rea- KEYSTONE WEST VIRGINIA. FRIDAY.

DEMOCRATS WIN IN FIRST DISTRICT Republican Candidate Made Good Showing But Odds Were Heavy. WILSON CONGRATULATES NEELY AND CHAIRMAN Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 14.-M. M. Needy, Democrat, was elected to Congress in the special election in the First District held today to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of John W. Davis, Democrat, now solicitor general of the United States, J. G. Hearn, Republican, made a close fight with Laughlin, Progressive, running third. Intense interest was taken in the election by official Washington-Democrat claiming 2,500 majority but the Republicans say it will not be more than 1,500 MY CREED. I believe in my job. It isn't such an important job...but it's mine. I believe it is the best in the world for me, because it has a direct bearing on the world's progress. There isn't any other fellow who can hold it down. It isn't such a big job...but I have been peculiarly fitted by reason of my previous conditions of servitude, to fill this particular position. I don't believe I could hold down any other fellow's job...my own work absorbs me. I'm going to make myself more worthy of my job and I'm going to make the job more worthy of myself. I believe in my fellow-man. He don't always agree with me...I wouldn't want him to do so. For I make some of the weirdest mistakes you ever heard of...sometimes. I believe in my country. I think it's just about the finest country on earth...because I live in it. If it isn't the grandest old country on this sandspelock of time it's because I'm not the sort of man I should be. I believe in my home. It isn't such a great home...as the world judges such things...but, for me I contains jewels that cannot be purchased in the open market with all the wealth of Ormus and of Ind. When I enter it I am a loot...I leave all cares behind. That home is the reward of love...and love is its reward. There is nothing else on earth that can take its place...and my only exception of heaven is a larger home. HORRIBLE CONDITIONS EXPOSED Officers and Guard Maliciously Beat Up Prisoners Attorneye W. J. Parker and Rusi Ritz Bring to Light Startiing Facts--City Officials Interested INVESTIGATION WILL BE HELD Bluefield, W. Va., Oct. 11.—Neah Lawrence, a Chain Gang Guard, of the city was given a preliminary hearing in the City Hall before Squire Chamber Thursday on a warrant sworn out by P. H. Huff, charging the murder of D W. Boyd, a colored man. Boyd was arrested on Sept. 23 upon an charge of being drunk and disorderly. He was tried before Police Judge. Slowly and convicted for being drunk and resisting an officer and was given a fine of $10 and ten days in jail, default on payment, 20 days on the chain gang. On the day of the sentence, Hoye worked with the gang until six pellock, but on the following day he complained of being sick and sent work to the guard by a fellow prisoner that he was unable to go to work. Evidence was introduced to show that he was suddenly dragged out, showed through the door, and one witness testified that Lawrence kicked him and bit him and hit him with a pick handle as he went out of the door. Several witnesses testified that Boyd worked slowly for about two hours and that Lawrence ordered him to take his coat off, snatched him around, bit him with his pistol upon the head, kicked him in the side, and other witnesses swore that Lawrence beat Boyd with a pick handle and while he was down, punched him in the side with the end of the ham be. Seeing that Boyd could not work even to save himself from beating, the grutish guard permitted him to lie down the rest of the day, but every time the gang moved to another place the prisoner was jerked up or kicked up and was ordered to move. It was further proven that Boyd was stretched upon the cold, Bump ground for avon seven hours in his weakened condition without medical attention; that a little boy named Charles Lee, also on the gang, was sent by one of the guards to get his pipe out of the goodness of this tender young heart, went home, got some pain-killer, was about to attempt to relieve the misery of the suffering man, when Mack Lilly, one of the guards told him, "you can't give that to him unless it is poison" This boy testified to the beating with pick handle, hitting and kicking, and the most severe cross-examination by Judge Sanders of counsel for the defense could not shake the testimony of Charles who is only fourteen years old. When the gang came in from work, Boyd was placed in jail and permitted to remain all night without the care shown a sick dog. The following morning, which was Sept. 26, when Mr. Clifford, Sept of Highways was lining the men up for work, found Boyd unable to work called him out and asked him how long it would take him to get out of town Boyd replied, only a few minutes. Clifford then ordered him to "hit the high ball." Nothing was proven concerning his whereabouts from Friday morning until Sunday p. m., when he applied at the restaurant of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Huff for lodging. Seeing that he was unable to go further, the Huff's took him i and did what they could to ease his pain. He gradually grew worse and Friday Oct. 3, Dr. Rogers made the best examination possible in the serious condition of the patient and diagnosed the case as "labor pneumonia," leaving a prescription and instruction for treatment. Mrs. Huff had the prescription filled and did everything possible for the dying man. Boyd knew he could not recover; that only a few days, at most, must elapse before the end. He told of his mother, uncle and brother in the old home at Salisbury, N. C., how he desired to see them. Mrs. Hoff stated that she sent the message to his people and he gave her one to give them when they came. Attorney Parker for the state who was conducting the direct examination, said to the witness: "Here sits his brother in response to your telegram, will your deliver to him the dead brother's message?" It was a dramatic moment, the great audience which jammed the courtroom, blocking the aisles and crowding the door, stretched their necks and leaned forward to catch every word uttered by by the witness. The crowd was as quiet as it in the presence of death. The attorneys for the deense gazed first at the witness then at the bereaved brother. Slowly and in conversational tones the wit.

INSTITUTE The musical season opened at the Elmira Field Colored Institute Wednesday evening of last week with Madame Acacia Hackley of Philadelphia as the star. The program ranged from gigs from high class Opera to Folk songs and Madame Hackley was at her best. She has long been recognized as the foremost singer of the Negro race and she lived up to her reputation upon this occasion she delighted, thrilled, and charmed an audience which filled the chapel. After the students of the Institute were present and many people from the city and nearby towns attended this high-class performance. Madame Hackley not only sang and played her own accompaniment but she gave the students a valuable lecture on music. She paid a beautiful tribute to the musical ability of the Negro, explained why the features and build of the Negro was a valuable aid in singing and stated that the thing most needed by the Negro is cultivation of the brain in order that they may properly control the voice. She advised the girl not to lace, take plenty of fresh air, ample exercise, graceful carriage and care in the use of the voice. This was Madame Hackley's first appearance in this section of West Virginia and she made a splendid impression. Her work to improve the race and the manner in which she has sacrificed time and money to aid the worthy and unfortunate of the race is well known. Madame Hackley stated that next year she would establish a school in Chicago for the development of competent music teachers for the race. Prof. R. P. Sims, Principal of the Elmfield Colored Institute, is to be commended for securing the service of such 44 musicians as Harry Burleigh and Madame Hackley. These revivals are doing much to inspire the people of this section to spend more time in the cultivation of their taste for music of the higher order and to familiarize themselves with the work of Negro composers. Attorney Harry J. Capchett, who had heard Madame Hackley, could not attend upon this occasion, and he stated to a reporter for the McBowell Times that every student in the school should hear this famous singer. Thinking that some might be unable to pay the price of admission, so he delighted seven young girls by sending Prof. Sims the price of admission for that number. It is to be hoped that more public sponsored men with helpful interest in the development of the best there is in the youths of the race will be developed in this section. Mr. Capchett received the thanks of the faculty and students for his generosity, not so much on account of the amount but because of the kindly thoughtfulness of the struggling. ENDORSEMENTS OF COLORED REPUBLI-CAN ORGANIZATION Letters From in and Out of Mc- Dowell County. Gary, West Virginia. September 29, 1913 Mr. J. E. Parson, President McDowell County Col- ored Republican Organization. Keystone, W. Va. Dear sir: I saw a paper in Mr. Plummer's pressing shop at denkinjones a few days ago which had some names signed to it, one being P. E. Carter's, which had something to say about the organization of which you are president, and to which I belong, saying that our officers were "unserpulous titular leaders" and a whole lot of stuff. I also saw an article in a Bluefield paper written by him saying that our officers were corrupt and a whole lot of other criticism. Now Mr. Parson, I want to say a few things to you about this man B. E. Carter: The last time I saw him before the 22nd, was one day last summer in Keystone, and he was in front of the Hattfield headquarters yelling in a loud voice that the campaign committee owed him a balance of $125 for his services for making a few speeches for our present governor, and when I saw him on the 22nd speaking against the organization for indorsing Mr. Cooper for Congress, I wondered it was because Mr. Cooper owed him something. I know that at least a hundred men beard B. E. Carter bolder for his balance of $125 for speaking for Governor Hattfield, which shows that he is a hireling in politics. Now as far as Mr. W. M. Drewry is concerned, whose name was also signed to that paper, I do not know him, never heard of him doing anything in politics in this county and I have been in the county 14 years. I guess that he is just entering politics, for I never heard him say anything on the 22nd. But I do know the other gentleman whose name was signed to that paper Lawyer S. R. Moon, and I am coming over to your election of officers to nominate him for Chairman of your campaign committee on the 16th of November as we in the McDowell Times that there is to be an election of officers of the organization on that date. We have a great organization, and Lawyer Moon is a great man, the husband of a fine lady who is a daughter of Squire Free, one of the best men in McDowell county. I know that the organization is doing much good and that some are jealous of its progress, but I am for you for president as long as you get as you have been doing, and I or one feel proud of you and the record of our organization. All I ask is the place for Lawyer Moon from this district. Yours truly, GARFIELD HAIRSTON Mr. J. E. Parson President McDowell County Col ored Republican Organization Keystone, W. Va. Friend Parson. Since attending the exercises given by your splendid organization in the city of Keystone September End, I feel compelled to write you just a word or two as a laboring man, and as a friend of all laboring men. I have traveled nearly all over the state of West Virginia during the past twelve months as my work keeps me on the go all the time, and will leave here for the conditions near Fairmont in a few days, and from my travels I feel that I know the state and the political condition of my face about as well as the average traveling man be he a preacher, organizer, or anything else. I also know that the McDowell County Colored Republican Organization stands today for more in the way of recognition and the political betrayment of the black man than any set of men or political organization in the state Why? Because it has a record for fun and honest dealing in all matters of a political nature. I am not a stranger to Mr. Dowell county, for I came to Crozier when a manoy nine years of age. Was in your county when you all organized the present organization some years ago and know the condition of my people from a political standpoint, both before your organization and now, and it would require pages for me to write down all the good and the many splendid acts of your organization that have been for the political upift of our people. However, I will mention a few to you brother Parson. First. You have helped more colored men to office than any other organization in this state. Your organization has stood at all times against discrimination of our people; your organization has stood for higher educational facilities for our people; and above all, has been fair and conscientious in its dealings with all men. I know that no honest mind man or woman can say anything to the contrary and tell the truth. Brother Paren, when you begin to do things that are for the upright of your people and when fair minded men give you credit for your just efforts, there is always the dumbning big negro standing around to criticise you and make a fool of himself. My daily prayer is that many God gives all men like you strength and many years of life to continue to stand up and battle for the rights of the whole people and all self respecting and honest colored men are with you. When I was a barbedoo boy playing in the Elkhorn creek you was standing up like a man fighting for the political rights of your race, and when I saw you on the 2nd supporting the indemnment of Mr. Cooper I knew that as far as the black man was concerned all was well. You need not all men to agree with you, for all men do not agree with the doctrine of the Holy Bible. All men do not believe in the great Jehovah. When I saw on the 22nd of October, out of a body of more than 2,000 persons about a dozen who were not in favor of the resolution indering Mr. Edward Cooper I knew at once that all the disbelievers were not dead. Brother Parson, go on with your good work, you was right when your organization indorsed Governor Hatfield last year and you are right now, and whenever I go in this state I am going to tell the truth about yourself and the splendid organization of which you are the President. I know it to be a wonderful help to the colored men of the State of West Virginia. Yours 'or our people, EDWARD HARVEY. EST VIRGINIA'S LEADING NEGRO AL-DEVOTED TO THE RACF. . . . NUMBER 33 BROWNS CREEK TEACHERS INSTITUTE The teachers of Brown's Creek District met at the Keystone-Eckman Graded School Saturday, October 11, for their second monthly meeting. All of the teachers were present with the exception of two. The meeting was called to order by the President, Prof. E. L. Kann, and an interesting program was rendered. The following subjects were discussed. "How to Teach Children to Think." "A Practical Lesson in English." The meeting it then adjourned for dinner. They were ushered into another room where the young ladies of the Keystone-Eckman school had prepared a most pleasing repast. While they were at lunch several jokes and toasts were offered at the expense of many ladies and gentlemen. After lunch the meeting again convened. Profitable papers on "The Value of 'Day in School Room'," "Busy Work, Value and Purpose" were read and discussed. A solo by Miss Laura Brennage and roby Miss Whitney, M. E. P. Johnson and Prof. J. W. Robinson were enjoyed by all. The last feature was "Question Box Social" in this, difficult problems were discussed and helpful suggestions made. While this was being done, the ladies had arranged to have each deliveries passed to each. AFTERNOON MINIS BONBONS GRAPES. There were three prominent visitors in the person of Dr. W. H. A. Barrett, Prof. S. N. Mills and Mr. J. H. Oraggett, helpful addresses were made by each. The meeting was one of the most interesting, instructive and helpful ever and. Everybody seemed enthusiastic, all of good thoughts and eager to express themselves. And several persons expressed themselves as never having attended a more interesting meeting. The following little girls and boys were here to help and to serve the teachers: Mable Wilson, Lorena Simpson, Ann and Sarah Reid, Howard Abbitt, Jos Arthur Allen. The only regret was that no parents attended the meeting. It is for the parents as well as teachers and when the meeting is again held here an invitation is extended to one and all. Excelsior, W. V., October 11, 1917 Hon. J. E. Parson President McBowell County Colo oried Republican Organization, Keystone, W. Va. We saw your call for November 12th, and will say that at least ten from here will be on hand that day. We will pay every cent of our own expenses. We are with you at all times.

Landgraf-Eckman Colored Republican Club, Landgraf, W. Va. Hon. J. E. Parson, President McDowell County Colored Republican Organization, Keptone, W. Va. Dear Sir, I take pleasure to write you at this time, to let you know that we are coming up to the election of officers of the organization on November 17th. There are no progressives among us, we are every man a believer in the policy of a high productive tariff, and we are not with any socalled republicans who believe in ruling the roost or running the party and turning the reign of this government over to the democrats, for that is all that a progressive republican can ever toope to do. We are satisfied with the fair and honest treatment that we have been receiving at the hands of our white leaders, and our organization is the strongest political organization in the entire state today. We are with you in everything that you desire to do that will make the organization stronger, and thus the more fully be able to safeguard our rights in the future as you have been doing in the past. You stay at the helm and continue to direct the affairs of our fight in the interest of all black men in this county as you have been doing and we will fight your political battles for you.
