ADVERTISE IN THE McDOWELL TIMES, IT'S A_PAYING INVESTMENT. VOLUME 12 ONLY TWO WAYS TO GET LIQUOR AFTERTUESDAY (Bluefield Daily Telegraph.) The enforcement of the prohibition law was the object of a great mass meeting held at Bland Street Methodist church on last Sunday afternoon, which was addressed by Fred O. Blue, commissioner of prohibition. The address was one of a series the prohibition commissioner has been delivering in a tour of the state. The audience was composed of representative citizens, a good many of the men interested in the liquor business being among the crowd. S. P. Crummett, of the anti-sabon league, made the first address, and started a fund by popular subscription for law enforcement in Bluefield. Following his address Commissioner Blue was introduced. Mr. Blue expressed confidence in the officials and declared they would have the cordial support of his office which would, he declared, exert all its powers to the end that the Yost act would be rendered effective. Mr. Blue said in part: The present generation is witnessing a remarkable change respecting intoxicating liquors. In many vocation today, not only are men temperate in the use of strong liquors, but abstemious in contrast to the men of the same vocations of preceding generations. To illustrate, take my profession, that of the law. The temperate man formerly was the exception rather than the rule. It is otherwise now. A traveling salesman, in my boyhood days, as a general proposition, was a bale fellow well met, with a stock of questionable stories and something strong to drink. It is otherwise now. These men, today, as types, represent a high degree of intelligence and a force for moral uplift, and to the religious organization of the latter we must give credit for the presence of the Holy Bible in the leading hotels of the state. And so we might point to nearly every vocation to illustrate this marked change in sentiment. After years of delay the legislature submitted the question, and speaking from their education, and from their experience, the people, by over ninety thousand majority, said that the sale of liquors in West Virginia should cease. Pursuant to such mandate the legislature at the session of 1913 enacted chapter 13 of the acts of that session, known as Yost bill. This enactment is the prohibition law of the state, and of this law I shall speak this afternoon. Your patience shall not be imposed upon to go into all the details of the law, and therefore I shall only attempt to speak of some of its main features. The first section of the law defines liquors to embrace all malt, vinous or spirituous liquors, wine, porter, ale, beer or any other intoxicating drink, mixture or preparation of like nature; and all malt and brewed drinks, whether intoxicating or not, shall be deemed liquors within the meaning of this act; and all liquors, mixtures, or preparations, whether patented or not, which shall produce intoxication, and all beverages containing so much as one-half of one per cent of alcohol by volume, shall be deemed spirituous liquors, and all shall be embraced in the word "liquors" as herein-after used in this act. In other states, where prohibition amendments have been adopted one of the sources of evil has been the drug store. The Yost law undertakes to do away, and it is believed affectively, with this source of evil. The great majority of those engaged in the drug business is law abiding, and the legitimate drug store, honestly and legally conducted, is not the cause of trouble, but this legitimate business has been degraded by men who, under the guise of conducting such business, have been violators of the law, elusive, hard to detect, and difficult to convict. Manufacturers and wholesalers of pure grain alcohol may sell the same to druggists only, and druggists may sell pure grain alcohol to a person of temperate habits, not addicted to the use of narcotic drugs, upon the written prescription of a reputable physician, who has examined the patient and in detail sets forth in the prescription the reason for prescribing such alcohol and its use for external purposes. The form of prescription to be used by the physician and druggist has been prescribed by the commissioner of prohibition, and approved by the West Virginia state boards of health and pharmacy, and the state medical and pharmaceutical associations. Anyone may manufacture for his own domestic consumption wine or cider. Please note that this is for his own domestic consumption. One may also manufacture vinegar or non-inxicating cider for use or for sale from fruit grown exclusively within this state. You will The McDowell Times. please observe that the right to make or sell cider and vinegar is limited to these three restrictions: (1) Must not be intoxicating; (2) Must be made from fruit grown exclinarily in the state; and (3) If sold as beverage, or can be used as such, must not contain more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. To carry out the provisions of the law and aid in its enforcement, rules and regulations have been made by the commissioner of prohibition respecting sales of pure grain alcohol, and wine for purposes already mentioned; these rules have been approved by the bodies to which reference has been made. The Yost law undertakes to do away with this source of trouble, and it therefore provides that every person who shall, directly or indirectly, keep or maintain, by himself or by associating with others, or shall in any manner aid, assist or alter in keeping any club house, or other place where liquor is kept for use, gift, barter or sold for beverage, or for distribution or division among the members of any club or association whatsoever; and who shall use, barter, sell or give away, or assist in bartering or giving away any liquors so received or kept, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, punished by a fine of not less than one hundred nor more than five hundred dollars, and by imprisonment in the county jail not less than thirty days nor more than six months; and further, in all cases the members, shareholders or associates in any club or association shall be competent witnesses to prove any violation of the act, or of any act tending thereto. The act further makes such club, if the law is violated, a common and public nuisance, and gives the courts the right to abate the same. Such provisions of the law intend not only that the club should not exist for the purpose of being a cloak to those who would keep, sell or barter any liquor, but further prohibit the members of any club from having or keeping liquors about the same. These provisions of the law not only apply to the club organized for the purpose of evasion, but also to any club, regardless of however respectable the membership may be. There are a number of highly respectable clubs in the state, but the law forbids them to serve or keep liquors about their premises, individually or collectively. the N. & W. The State Baptist Association can safely boast as well as compliment itself on having made such a wise selection in Rev. J. J. Turner of Kimberly to represent the Sunday school interests of this state. For the past eleven years he has been engaged in mission work; nine years of this time he has served in the capacity of superintendent. His tour of the state now is mainly in the interest of introducing the idea and method of "Teacher Training" in the Sabbath schools. Rev. Turner is not only fitting in well and successfully along Sunday school work but he is taking interest in the gradual growth of Pythianism. He is Grand Prelate of Knights of Pythias of this state and has always demeaned himself in a way worthy of the people's confidence. JOHNSON TO FACE MORAN ON THE 27TH AT THE VELO-DROME, PARIS By William Philip Simms (Paris Correspondent of the U. P.) Paris, June 23.-For the first time since Jack Johnson, the black giant, laid stalwart Jim Jeffries on the pugilistic shelf at Reno and, unscratched, took possession of the heavyweight championship belt, the coveted trophy will be put into play here Saturday night June 27, at the Velodrome d'Hiver. Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, U. S. A., will be the big dusky's opponent and from out on the banks of the Oise at Aturry-on the Beach where the White Hope is training comes word that he is in great shape. Similar reports are filtering out of Johnson's camp in Ansières, just on the fringe of Paris. Johnson, who perhaps not entirely without reason, remarked that he wouldn't swap jobs with John D. Rockefeller, and who, as this reflection may be taken to denote, is something of a business man, is training, at home and cutting expenses. The great out of doors where he does his roadwork is free and at Luna Park, the scene of his gym exercises, he gets real money for letting the common herd look on. J. S. Dunn, manager of the Coalwood band, was in the city Monday of this week and made it known to us that their band is ready and prepared at all times to play for any and all occasions. The secretary is Clarence Edwards and John Hughes is the president. All communications must be addressed to J. S. Dunn, Manager. KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 26. 1914 I This photograph shows a hallway in the colossal Palace of Education of the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. The world's most noted artists, mural decorators and sculptors were engaged to decorate the exposition palaces and, as a result, the huge structures are indescribably beautiful. The interior of the dome is embellished with a superb mosaic of brilliant colors, designed under the supervision of Mr. Jules Guerin, the noted artist. The height to the top of the half-dome is 119 feet. OVER A THOUSAND ENTHUSIASTIC RE- PUBLICANS TURN OUT TO HEAR COOPER Under the auspices of the Excelsior Republican Club, composed of members from all over the Big Creek Magisterial District, the people from all over the county of McDowell, having heard of the coming of Hon. Edward Cooper, the next Congressman from the Fifth Congressional District, left their homes and closed their places of business and came from far and near to hear the young eloquent lawyer and statesman in his defense of the principles of the Republican party. He fearlessly combatted the arguments of the Democratic party and took issue with them on the Panama toll exemption and the tariff proposition and declared that history had proven that the Democratic party was incompetent to handle the affairs of this growing country with any degree of success. Early in the evening officers and members of the club assembled at their hall unanimously passed resolutions endorsing Hon. Edward Cooper for Congress and Hon. George Wolfe for the House of Delegates. From there the whole club marched to Susanna where the celebrated Rabbit Foot show was exhibiting under canvas before an audience of over 700 people. At the hands of the hospitality of the management of the Rabbit Foot show, time was divided with Mr. Cooper, who spoke before about one thousand people including those who were on the outside of the tent. His address was frequently interrupted by applause. WOMEN WAVE HANDKERCHIEFS In his recounting of the briberiness that met the gaze of the heart stricken mothers at the death of husbands, sons and relatives in the recent Eccles explosion the women and men became breathlessly silent and expressions of sympathy characterized the temporary manner of all present, but when, on the other hand, he pointed out the beneficial results of the Workmen's Compensation law to such unfortunate and bereaved widows and orphans, and how the Republican party through its present administration the women waved their handkerchiefs, men loudly cheered and the Rabbit Foot Gold Band played one of our noted patriotic airs. At this junction Cooper sentiment ran high and his stock in the Congressional race reached 500 per cent. He made it plain that in the discharge of his known and sworn duties he would never be guilty of overlooking the wishes of the masses irrespective of whether his private interests were jeopardized or not. The people generally were hoard to say that. they felt good at the candidacy of such a big white man as Mr. Cooper. He is the right kind of man to represent the Fifth Congressional District. The people all over this district are for Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper was the guest of the Hon. Joseph Huddleston, who together with three or four other leading coal operators of the New River-Pocantas Collieries Company were together at some considerable length of time. RAN OFF 35 YEARS AGO; GREETS SIRE Boy Who Was Punished for Going Swimming Becomes a Wealthy Merchant. Wichita, Kan., June 20.—B. V. Holt, fifty years old, a wealthy merchant of Syracuse, N. Y., walked thoughtfully to the front door of a residence at 412 Indiana Avenue this city, and rapped at the door. It was not opened at the first knack and he rapped again. A moment later the door was opened by a gray-haired man, who gazed at him rather suspiciously. "I am B. V. Holt," said the visitor. "Weil," remarked the aged man, "you have the same name as myself. What are you doing, selling something?" "No," said the visitor, "I just dropped in for a little call." "Come on in," invited the older man. Seated in the parlor the visitor turned to a picture on the wall. "Who is that?" he inquired for the picture represented a youth of about fourteen or fifteen years. "That is my son, who disappeared from home thirty five years ago," responded the aged man. "I AM THE ON." "Yes, I recognize the picture," said the visitor, "for I am the son." For a few moments the aged man, J. C. Holt, seventy-five years old, refused to believe. Then, as the other man recalled incidents of his boyhood, the older man's hand went tremblingly to "his boy's" shoulder and he acknowledged the son he had not seen for thirty-five years. Thirty-five years ago B. V. Holt, then but fifteen years old, ran away from home because his father had punished him for going swimming. The boy went to Chicago, where he became caschboy in a clothing store. The younger Holt's rise to fortune fortune might have furnished material for "Rising from a Cashback" or, "A Self-made Runaway." After ten years he went to Syracuse, N. Y., where he started in business for himself. In the 35 years that had elapsed he had not written to his parents. Some weeks ago the merchant decided to visit his old home, Farmer City, Ill. There he was told his family had moved to Lawrence, Kan. At Lawrence he found that his mother had died twenty years ago, after which his father had come to Wichita with his sister. Coming to Wichita the long-lost son tailed to find his father's name in the directory, but after making inquiries discovered that J. C. Holt lived in the Indiana Avenue address. His sister had married but is now a widow. After a joyful reunion at the Holt home, the returned son announced that he would take his father and sister with him back to New York, where they would not again be separated. CONGRESSMAN HOWARD SUTHERLAND CONGRESSMAN HOWARD SUTHERLAND Howard Sutherland, of Elkins, West Virginia, was born in 1863 on a small farm. He was educated in the public schools, afterward working his way through college. Edited a Republican newspaper. Accepted a clerkship in the 1880 Census, by successive promotions on merit alone, he became chief of its largest division. Studied law at Columbia University. Went to Elkins in 1883, where he has been active in business and otherwise. He has made a close study of the state's resources and needs, and has been instrumental in bringing a large amount of outside capital into the state. Has been an officer of the State Board of Trade from its organization, and has given freely of his time and effort to all measures for civic improvement. He has always been a student of political economy and political problems, and at the same time has kept in close touch with his fellowmen in all his activities. Was county chairman for four years. Was elected to the State Senate in 1988 by the largest majority ever given in his district. Was chairman of the State Good Road Commission that framed our first Good Road laws, and secured their passage by the legislature. He was the pioneer in focusing the attention of the people of the state on our crying need for improved roads, which is now bringing forth such good results. He introduced a public utilities commission bill, and fought for its passage. The bill he introduced was the basis for the law finally enacted and now in operation. He is a strong advocate of an adequate primary election law, and of the most stringent and effective corrupt practices act. In fact, he has always been progressive in thought and action along the line of securing the greatest efficiency and economy in the administration of all public affairs, and of making the party and the government properly responsive to the will of the people. Mr. Sutherland was nominated as Republican for Congressman-at-large at a state wide primary in 1912, by a majority of 3,000 and elected by a plurality of 18,471, leading the ticket. He received the indorsement and support of the Progressive party. His record in Congress shows that he has kept faith with his constituents by a conscientious discharge of every duty imposed upon him. He has devoted his entire time to the duties of his office. He has not followed the dictation or leadership of any man or set of men, but has approached every question from the sole standpoint of the greatest good to the greatest number. He is recognized as one of the most progressive Republicans in the House, as well as one of the most industrious. Congressman Sutherland is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and is identified with a number of fraternal and benevolent organizations. While broad and liberal in his views, he is a man of impeccable character and habits. He is a good mixer, a strong campaigner, and is able and ready at all times for attack or defense either upon the floor of the House or upon the stump. He has an interesting family consisting of a wife and six children, and his spare hours are spent with them and in the study of public questions. HAVE FAITH IN SULZER William Sulzer, the noted ex- and deposed Governor of New York State, due to his absolute failure to yield to the best of the bosses, is again a candidate for the gubernatorial honors. Again the people are with him. It is an established fact that William Sulzer is the choice of the people and not the bosses, holding high, above all things, manhood and the rights of the people. He conserved his honor by his stout deciliation to submit to the plotters who had designs upon the State's treasury. Notwithstanding the malicious and disturbing actions of miscreous politicians, the popularity of the Governor asserted itself right and left, and was further attested when, ten days after his deposition, he was returned to the Assembly chamber with an overwhelming vote, as an expression of the people's sympathy. Again and again, he has been appalled to enter the race oy those who have an abiding faith in him as an honest, capable and efficient executive. As a champion for the rights of the people, regardless of race, creed or color, Sulzer has no peer, and the consensuses of opinion among colored people particularly, whose interest he has fostered along with others impartially, is that Sulzer should be Governor, for fresh in the minds of the people stands glowingly before them the Emancipation, the Regimental and Levy bills, which the eminent gentleman and governor signed without fear or favor. In signing these bills, the governor won the admiration of the colored people, especially, and all fair-minded people of all colors. As an expression of confidence, the forces now rallying to Sulzer's candidacy indicate that William Sulzer will be the next Governor of New York State, and that men of all parties, who love and adhere courage, will support him. Amsterdam News. MOST CHEERFUL OUTLOOK FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY GAINING STRENGTH MOST CHEERFUL OUTLOOK FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY GAINING STRENGTH --- Hon. Charles D. Hiles, chairman of the Republican National Committee, expresses confidence in the ability of the party to regain control of the House of Representatives in the November elections, and gives abundant reasons for this belief, which is shared by the leaders throughout the country. His estimates are based on the dwindling strength of the Progressive party, wherever a vote has tested it, and the anger and disgust of the country over the disturbing actions of the Democratic Congress. In New York and other Eastern States the Eulipse element has exhibited a falling off in voting strength that has been surprising when the claims of the leaders are considered. Recently a nasty quarrel has broken out between some of the protagonists of the national Progressive movement and the chairman of the national committee, which yresages a serious break in the ranks. What is true of the East is true of other sections of the country, where there are unmistakable indications of a greatly diminished Progressive vote. In the Middle West, Iowa has given a striking object lesson of the reunion of the divisions in the Republican ranks. In the recent State-wide primary held in that State the figures show 140,277 Republican votes for United States Senator and only 5,359 Progressive bellots cast. The Democratic vote was 76,413.

Neal, Democratic leader of Caheb county, won the nomination for Congress over David E. French, of Bluedefield, in the Fifth district convention held here today. Neal received 155 votes and French 125. Neal's victory came only after an all-day struggle and the battle was not decided until the convention voted to seat both of the contesting delegations from Raleigh county and let the twenty-eight votes of that county be equally divided. By a vote of seven to four the credentials committee voted to seat the French delegates, but a minority report favored the Neal delegates. The vote which brought the real test of strength between Neal and French was on the motion of Wyndham Stokes, of McDowell county, offered as a substitute for the motion that the minority report be accepted and provided for the seating of both delegations. This motion was debated for more than an hour before the ballot was taken. It stood 143 to 157, and indicated that Neal could not have won without half of the Raleigh delegation, which the action of the convention secured for him. The convention adopted resolutions re-aligning the Baltimore platform and endorsing the administration of President Wilson and pledging the support of the nominee of the convention to a measure providing for national prohibition. Mr. Neal declared himself to be in hearty accord with the platform, particularly in the dry plank. The Democrats of the district usurped of victory this fall, and in the expectation that the mantle of Jim Hughes would fall on the nominee of today's convention they went into it with unprecedented ardor. The fight was as much a battle for power between the Wattson and Chilton forces as it was for place between Neal and French, and the socalled office holders' trust was the subject of frequent attack throughout the day. Hoke Smith It is so very strange to see the venomous attacks that are being made on colored office holders by such men as Hoke Smith, Vardaman and others. What has the colored American done or is doing to cause the unwarrantable attacks? The colored office holders has been a success. Mr. Smith's only reason for the removal of colored office holders is they are "Negroes." He claims that the local bar in this city is opposed to the appointment or retention of a colored man Recorder of Deeds. The charge is not true. There may be a few white members of the bar on the order of Hoke Smith, Vardaman and others who are opposed to the retention or appointment of colored men to office. The colored members of the bar favor the appointment of a colored man to the office of Recorder of Deeds. There are upwards of ninety thousand colored people in this city who pay taxes on over fifteen to twenty millions of dollars worth of property, and will Mr. Smith or any other Negro-bating Democrat give same reasons why these ninety thousand colored people are not entitled to representation in our local government? Then again, what has Hoke Smith to do with our local offices? It he wants to show his loyalty to his party and this government are there not dozens of ways that he can show it without attacking colored Americans? Hoke Smith belongs to that narrow and selfish class of Democrats in the South, who are not long for this earth. They will soon go where they belong, and will be glad to protect himself from the burn- (Continued on Page Four) noted that the Republican votes were nearly twice as many as the total for the Democrats and Progressives taken together. In a state where Roosevelt led Taft by 42,000 votes, or about 35 per cent of the Republican total in 4912, the Progressive vote has fallen, in the primary test, to less than 4 per cent of the Republican strength. This year the Republican vote at the primaries is over 20,000 more than it was in the presidential election of 1912. The Democratic vote is nearly 109,000 below the record Wilson made. The Progressive vote falls 156,000 short of the Roosevelt poll and indicates a loss of 97 per cent. -Wheeling Intelligence.

Saturday morning of last week about Jo'clock, the tire alarm was wiven which created much ex citement throughout the entire city. When it was ascertained that there was another tire in Burke, an adjacent town to the vity of Keystone, much more did the excitement become intense. For some reason unexplained, the house belonging to Christina Goins, in which the fire broke out in, had gotten so much under way that it was believed for sometime that surely this was another great tire akin to the one that happened twelve years ago which reduced every house to ashes and dispossessed every xcupant of a place to reside. The fire department comes in at this point for great praise as well as volunteers for their hero- ic stand and daring ventures te protect ‘the people’s property But despite the efforts made to check this great fire six houses were reduced to ashes in the greatquantity of water which was used reduce the flames.

White Says Cooper Will Win In a Canter. Hon. R. W. White, better known as “‘Ralpbetas’” since the time be was as sociated with Hon. J. A. Hnghes, was the otber day what he thought of the political situation. He had the follow. ing to say ““T am led to believe from « very care- ful observation, while passing over the district, that the prospect of the Repub- lieans for a vindiested victory this fall, is daily growing brighter. The Demo- crate are all agog over the failure to farther enlarge the chasm between the Progressives and the Repnblicans. With this, the lact hope the Democrats had for success in this state “‘gone glimmering’ they are forced to turn to their ol well- ‘worn and trite sactics of villificstion and musrepresentation for eome semblance of an issue, with which to go before the people. We furnished the Democrats with ammunition to whip ue with two years ago y the folly of our uncalled for split at Chicago. They won by our weakness, and not se « result of their strength. No victory thus achieved can nat long, for it Incke the element of well established permanency. There will Rot need to be s great deal of agitation Bor an over sbaodauce of oratory this fall. ‘The dismal failure and the agre- fious blunders of the Democratic party speak more eloquently, as well as more forcefully and effectively than all of the speeches which which may be delivered. What do you think of Mr. Oooper’s chances at this time? “I do not deem it necessary to offer any enlarged interview upon the candi- dacy of Mr. Cooper, for reasons which to you are obvious, but I will say thie much. In most sober earnestness, I am really of the opinion that Mr. Cooper has won already. He has enoveh votes now to Dominate him by @ handsome majority I take it, that be is merely holding what be sirvady has, and scquiring quite « few each dey. Mr. Cooper isan “A No. 1” bosiness man, therefore qualified to take care of the basines of others. He is « splendid type of « citizen and rep- resents the very seme of asslimade man, whieb, within itself is tribute to Amer- ican manbood. He is « finished lawyer ‘nod lewaliy able to look after the interest of bis constituency. In fact, there are Almist countions reasons why be should ‘and will be nomineted.”” What ie your opinion of the nomine- tion of Mr. Neal over Mr. French and ‘whet effect do you think it will have up- (00 the chanom of the Democratic party to win or lows? ss “You might see Mr. French, as to the latter question. I au inclined to the be- fief tbat he is in « better postion to ans- wer that than I. Iam sure on one point, be doubtlessly will answer it with wore vigor end spirit than I could possibly do. As to the former. see me next week and Tmay have something to say on that Proposition, for the present, I am ex- ceedingly busy.” Hold Loud and Strong Meeting At Rolfe Tuesday Night—-Big Crowd | One of the most rousing Republican meetings of the Northfork district held or withewed im years was the one pulled off at Rolfe Tuesday night of this week Promineut men of both races from all over the county were present many of whom spoke. The meeting was under the auspices of Republican leaders all over the district although it was not am authorized district meeting. It was = first cle up-to-date ‘nase mecting where every man had as mach rigbt as the oth- er. It was» meeting wherein the hom- blest man’s opinions were wanted to be Known. In fact it was what mighs rightly be termed ancld Methodist camp meeting. Experiences of « political ne ture were told. Oratory was greatly im evidence. Political policies and candi- dates Innded to the skies such ss were the choice of the speakerr. The old pi- oneer Repnblicans who bave been in the county from 10 to 20 and 25 years were om hond and with that spirit of patriotic enthusiasm that usually characterizes men who, for s holy cause, risk their lives im buttle for great p-inciples, spoke their sentiment slong political lines, It was very noticeable that men unhesitat- ingly declared that from this time on they would be found fighting and voting for the men they thought to be most fitt- ed from every standpoint for the position jst so he carried with him the prinei- ples of Republicanism. The meeting was cal'ed to order by Mr. Jack Taylor, who acted a chairman of the weeting and after « timely explanation of the ob- ject of the meeting other speakers were called upon who spoke very freely upon the imues and kind of men they stood for. B. Hampton Gray, candidate for Cir- cuit Olerk, who when be was introdu-ed the house gave him # most flattering sp- plause of prolonged duration. Guy Wingfield, Robert Obristian and Wil- liam Drewry were some of the principle epeakers and made high tributes of re- epects to Mr. A. ©. Rice and Mr. B.

The wan rewarked alter the weeting: “I met that man today and didn’t know even that be was Mr. Cooper. He talle- ed with we snd chatted with me and was so pleasant and plain that I really took him for one of our boys down the creek. Why I'd pot in twenty votes for such © wan as that if I bed them.” HON. GEO. WOLFE Few people reall know that Hon. Geo.

Henry Swan Dies in Keystone After several months of illness Henry Swan, a young man of about 28 or 30 years of age succumbed to the grim monster death. Tuesday afternoon about two o'clock. He had recently returned from the Freedmens Hospital at Washington, D. C. where he underwent a very painful as well as serious operation. He was a member of the Pythian lodge and was in good standing. He died in Keystone at the home of his mother. The funeral was preached by Rev. R. P. Johnson, of Kimball, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Sinkford & Warren, undertakers, through their representative Charlie Rice took charge of the body, embalmed it and saw that he received a Christian burial. His body was taken to the Pocahontas Cemetery for interment. Hoke Smith (Concluded from First Page.) ing flames that awaits to scorch all individuals like this nosy individual from Georgia. He doesn't seem to profit by observation. A little reminder of all those who have bid fairwell to this earth, and left behind them a record of abuse of colored Americans will no doubt be a wholesome lesson to him. If this so-called Southern statesman would devote a little time to his Bible and prayer book, The Bae feels confident that he would be a successful Christian teacher. He will continue in his mad career until he hears a bugle call that will mean his time is up and then no doubt a first-class colored undertaker will embalm him. The Bee takes this opportunity to remind him that all good and religious colored people continue to pray for him; and there is always great virtue in the prayers of colored Americans. They believe in prayer, while the Southern crackers believe in shot guns. Take a warning, Mr. Smith, before it is too late. --The Washington Bee.
