VOLUME 13 THE FUNERAL OF MRS. AMANDA JOHNSON CH P. N. F. I monies and purpose of t Rev. Smith scripture lea Mitchell, the Rev. L. E livered an a He briefly d Fellowship a joined the o received, the P. N. F. Kelley was master of ceremonies and in a brief address stated the purpose of the service and introduced Rev. Smith, who offered prayer. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. W. H. Mitchell, the pastor. Rev. L. E. Johnson, M. V. P., delivered an address on behalf of the order. He briefly discussed the principles of Odd Fellowship and stated that if men only joined the order for the financial benefits received, they were not Odd Fellows from principle, that the principles of "Friendship, love and truth" were fundamental and for them the order stood and not for money. He discussed briefly the origin of the order and how it got its name. The address on behalf of the Household of Ruth was delivered by Mrs. Nannie Sites, who told of the purpose of the Household and their efforts to help the needy and make the order more grand. She stated that wherever there were burdens to be borne, suffering to be relieved, a helping hand needed--woman was always ready, willing and to be found. An original poem on Oddfellowship was recited by Miss Florence Craft and a solo rendered by Mrs. Emma Maynard. The Master of Ceremonies presented Rev, W. H. Mitchell, who announced his text: Gen. 1:26----"Let us make man in our image and after our likeness," and First Samuel 4:9----"Be strong and quit yourselves like men and fight." Subject: "strength and Unity." Among other things Rev, Mitchell stated that God made man in His image and that means that man should be a thinking being with backbone and courage----that he should stand upright; that man should not be a cringing, crawling, spineless creature, for that is not according to the IMF Regu W. plan of Göß. Continuing the pastor stated that the man really worth while is not the one who waits for something to happen but goes out and brings things to pass, who turns things up—like Peter Ogden, the founder of the G. U. O. of O. F. m America, who, under the most discouraging circumstances, over the most serious obstacles brought forth from England the clatter. ODD FELLOWS Hold Thanksgiving Serv- ices--Splendid Parade--Large Crowd Attend Services He advised unity and support for race enterprise and race leadership, the kind that makes good and especially the teachers, and he bitterly assailed those who directly or indirectly destroy the good name of women and corrupt the morals of girls. He closed his sermon by discussing at length political conditions and other questions directly effecting the Negroes. The sermon was able, interesting and instructive. At the close of the sermon, while the band rendered sacred music, a collection was taken just for the Odd Fellows. An after collection was taken to assist in rebuilding Scott St. Baptist Church in Bluefield of which the speaker is pastor. The Odd Fellows' collection was not announced. The collection for Scott St. church was $12.40. Bramwell Vs. Bluefield Bramwell, W. Va.. April 24, 1915.

VOLUME 13 The funeral of Mrs. Amanda Johnson, the only sister of Dr. Booker T. Washington, was conducted in the Presbyterian Church (white) at Malden, W. Va., at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning, May 6th, 1915 The services were conducted by Rev. B. A. Brooks, pastor of the African Zion Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Johnson had been the clerk for several years. Rev. Mr. Brooks was assisted by Rev. B. R. Reed, pastor of the First Baptist Church; Rev. J. Sylvester Carroll, pastor of the Simpson M. E. Church; Rev. F. Herman Gow, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, and Rev. Edward Humbles, all of Charleston. Among the host of other persons in attendance were Rev. Wallace Page. Dr. W. L. Jones, Rev. R. M. Mayhew, Mr. James M. Canty, and Mr. A. G. Brown, graduates of Tuskegee Institute; Muss Martha Hughes, Mrs. Martha Lovely, Prof. and Mrs. H. B. Rice; Mr. Geo. Smith, brother of Dr. Washington's first wife; Mrs. Sallie Poe-Vaughn, cousin of the deceased; Mrs. J. W. Lovette, Mr. G. W. A. Johnson, oldest son of the deceased, of Birmingham, Ala.; Mr. and Mrs. Archie McKinney, A. W. Slaughter and Samuel Clarke of Montgomery; President and Mrs. Byrd Prillerman of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute; Mr. G. W. Clair of Charleston; Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Rotan, and Miss Eva Rotan of Fayetteville. The funeral was directed by Mr. James C. Campbell, the efficient Negro undertaker of Charleston. One whole side of the church was occuired by white friends from Malden and Charleston. The services were simple and impressive. The floral tribute was beautiful. It was quite noticeable that Kev. F. Herman Gow, who presided at the organ, was a graduate from the Tuskegee Institute. The instances have been rare in which so many highly respected citizens of the state have assembled on a funeral occasion. This unusual tribute was paid partly because of the high regard in which Mrs. Johnson's distinguished relatives are held by the people of West Virginia and partly because of her own worth and useful career in the community in which she has lived so long. Soon after her decease, the minister and congregation of the white Presbyterian Church offered the use of their house of worship for this funeral occasion for the reason that they knew that the colored church was too small for the large host of friends that would assemble on this occasion. Mrs. Johnson leaves a daughter, Miss Clara Johnson of Malden, and three sons —G. W. A. Johnson and Scovill Johnson of Birmingham, Ala., and B. H. Johnson of Malden; two brothers, J. H. Washington and Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute. No other person has better heeded the teachings of her distinguished brother than herself—"Let down your bucket where you are." She was left a widow in Malden several years ago, and here she continued to live a life of usefulness and honor among the people where she grew up. When Mrs. Johnson had a stroke of paralysis Wednesday morning, April 21, her son, G. W. A. Johnson, in Birmingham, Alabama, and Dr. Booker T. Washington were immediately notified. Dr. and Mrs. Washington, his son Davidson, and Mr. Johnson immediately hastened to the bedside of the deceased, where they remained until there seemed some hope of recovery. A few days after they left Malden, however, Mrs. Johnson became suddenly worse, and before they could reach her bedside, she expired Tuesday morning. May 4, 1915.

C., May 10.----Because of imperfections in the income tax law, numerous amendments will be recommended to the next Congress by the Treasury Department. Official experts are quietly at work on this statute, preparing a report on the crudities it contains and outlining proper legislative action to correct them. The law is honeycombed with errors. A striking illustration of this thread of weakness that runs through the whole gamut of Democratic legislation occurs in one of the most vital provisions of the income tax law. It relates to deductions that shall be allowed in computing gross income----a basic element in this system of taxation. Paragraph B of the law states that "in computing income for the purpose of the normal tax there shall be allowed as deductions" among other things "losses actually sustained during the year incurred in trade" etc. What is the meaning of the words "in trade?" The courts must decide. The phrase is capable of an infinite variety of interpretations. As construed by the Treasury Department, deductions from gross income for losses "in trade" can be made only in connection with "that which occupies and engages the PORTANT MINER lar Work at the Thomas Coal Company Thomas Coal Company Crystal Coal & Coke Flat Top Coal Mining Modoc oal Mining C Apply quick. Don't mistak H. THOM time, attention and labor of anyone for the purpose of livelihood, profit or improvement; that which is his personal concern or interest, employment, occupation, but is not necessary that it should be his sole occupation or employment." For instance, it is said that if a grocer has invested in real estate, in making his income tax return any real estate profit must be added to gross income; but losses from real estate investment must not be deducted from gross income. From every part of the country bitter complaints have been made against this ruling, and the question is to be taken to the courts for final adjudication. Whether the ruling is right or wrong, it is the uncertainty of the statute that reflects upon the intelligence of the political party responsible for it. Nothing but heedlessness could have permitted it. The tax payer bears the burden cf the blunder, for it is a maxim in governmental affairs that every doubt in a law is resolved in favor of the government by the administrative officers. showed that they had been excellently coached.

BRONSON OUT Does Not Expect Reapgointment to Public Service Commission and is Arranging For Other Work. CHARLESTON, W. VA., May 7.—Speculation here as to whether or not Charles H. Bronson, Democrat, and brother-in-law of Governor Hatfield, would be re-appointed to the Public Service Commission when the new commission is named on or before June 1st, was practically ended today, when in an interview, Mr. Bronson intimated that he is making plans for other employment as soon as his present term expires. He admitted that his house in Huntington is vacant at present and that he is being led to request that he stated further that his annual report and road division of the commission, of which he has been in charge will be completed May 30, though it is not due for a month later. IMPORTANT! Preparatory to the establishment or organization of an independent district of church connection with the general head of the Primitive Baptist cause the country over, Northfork put herself on record last Sunday by turning out one of the largest crowds of church followers of all beliefs and sinners of all shades and degrees that has been witnessed in this field for years. This meeting was under the auspices of Elder S. M. Muse, pastor of the only church of this connection in the state. People from all over the country were there and so large was the crowd that they all could by no means get on the inside and they were seen crowding the windows, and every inch of space in the church was contested for standing room. There were ten preachers of the above faith with quite a number of other gospel ambassadors for the Master. Services were spirited and the whole occasion was a living spiritual testimonial of the righteousness of their cause. The people generally are of the decided belief that Elder Muse has the cause of righteousness behind him and as such church work under him is prospering at every turn of the road. Collection reached the high water mark of $11. White and colored alike have confidence in Elder Muse, his church work IMPORTANT WANTED operations: Greek otto, W. Va. and 2, Crystal, W. Va.

NEGRO WINS AGAIN Baltimore, Md., May 8.--At the municipal election held here on the 6th, the Democratic candidate for mayor, James H. Preston, was re-elected by an increased majority. The Democrats retain control of the council and the city offices. Hon. Harry 8. Cummings, Negro lawyer who has served on the council for many years was re-elected over the strongest and most bitter opposition ever made against him. In the Fourth Ward where the wealthy and exclusive Jews live, T. W. McMechin, a prominent Negro attorney was the Republican nominee and was defeated by a small majority.

His remains were taken to Marion, Va., for interment accompanied by his wife, Mr. L. C. Cheatham and Rev. R. V. Barkalea, Mr. Edward Crews, his "buddy," was with him when he met with this most fatal accident. He didn't carry any insurance and neither did he belong to any fraternal organization.

NUMBER 10 THE ANNUAL CROP OF GENIUS (By S. B. Moon.) From now on to the last days of "the bride's month," the high schools, academies, colleges and universities of the land will be pouring forth their yearly yield of erudite heads to replenish the world's stock of wisdom and keep the tree of knowledge green and flourishing. The boards of many a rostrum will groan under the weight of genius and the stoutest walls will have to brace themselves to resist the fierce linguistic assaults of red blooded, glowing graduates, who will with mien most lofty, and manner most tolerant, assure their puzzled auditors that they have come not to destroy the world, but to save it. The dazzling day dreams of youth will furnish a solution for every irritating problem that troubles the heart of man; splendidights of oratory will lead bewildered listeners to those ethereal heights whence neither the wayfaring man nor foot can fail to view the glory of the world and the sweetness of the earth; then in the musical rumble of a descending climax, words as carefully picked as an imperial guard will unfold the good news and glad tildings that the speaker is about to go out into the desert and waste places and convert the same into gardens so luxuriant that the much vaunted lilies of the valley would feel like withered weeds therein. The glittering mirage that thrills the soul of genius "all so newly born" in the proud bearer of a diploma (for the first time) is ding its annual little Jack-o'-Lantern act. Sardonic smiles wreathe the faces of even last year's out-put of genius when they recall that they, too, in days so recently past dreamed the same dreams and trudged arrogantly after the same plantom, only to find when bruised, battered and sore of foot that the market is full of brains; that many are called, but few are chosen to lead in the world's work. BROWN LODGE, G. U. O. O. F. AND HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH TURN OUT Sunday, May 9th, in Kimball, was quite a gala day with the Odd Fellows and Household of Ruths. The occasion was the preaching of the annual Thanksgiving sermon by Rev. I. J. Hall, who served ably and well. They all were beautifully regaled and presented an enviable picture. A large crowd of people turned out to hear and see this often seen yet always new occasion. Collection was good. Members of the Welch lodge were visitors by invitation. The numbers of Brown Lodge and Household of Ruth council are 6185 and 3089, respectively. St. Lukes Rapidly Spreadtng Itself on Winding Gulf--Mesdames Cobbs and Moore Doing Good Work.

Monday night of last week, at the Empire theatre in Gary, the "Finger of Scorn" was played before a very large crowd of white and colored people. This play was presented largely in the interest of the M. E. Church under the auspices of Rev. W. H Brown, pastor. The door receipts reached the handsome sum of something over $40. The play was specially good and evoked many, long and loud applause. Rev. Brown, who was so well pleased, together with the officers and members of his church paid the railroad fare of the company. Mr. Gruber, the expert theatre man and promoter of the Empire theatre was loud in his expressions of praise of the play. The Columbia Orchestra, which is the best in the state was on hand and made some of the most excellent music ever heard. The good people are wideawake and deeply interested when it comes to church work. The people were liberal in their care and hospitality toward the members of the Finger of Scorn company and signified their desire to have them repeat the play soon. BLUEFIELD BRIEFS The birthday party given in honor of the birthday of Mrs J. A. Hancock last Thursday night in the ball used for the Seventh St. Baptist Church, was a decided success. The proceeds go for the re- building of the above named church. A large crowd was present, refreshments were served pentitiously and waches, filled with jokes, wit and humor were delivered by Editor M. T. Wittico and Attorney Denny of Princeton. D. A. ("Doc") Fudge was given one year and one day in the penitentiary and fined $100 by Judge Keller last Saturday for concealing some of his assets in bankruptcy. Mr. Frederick Ross, Bluefield's "live wire" when it comes to the matter of courtesy, is a substantial utilitarian and a genial good friend to those he likes. He has a most excellent rig and general outfit for taking care of his friends. Mrs. Samuel Williams who was operated on by Dr. Lomax and who is now at Lomax's Hospital doing fine, will soon be able to return to her home. She says she has been exceedingly well cared for. Dr. S. J. Bammfield, of Princeton, has been very much in demand in this city for the past two months. The Republican leaders among both white and colored in their municipal convention last Thursday night placed on their executive committee Hons. Jake Simpson and Hamilton Hatter to represent the colored constituency of the city. Each is a strong political factor. Mr. Wiley Hancock left Saturday for Evergreen where he was called to the bedside of his sick father. Editor and Mrs. M. T. Whitticoe were the guests of Mesdames Helen Hancock, Annie Abbitt and L. H.

Bluefied Wins Again The Bluefield Graded School base ball team, under the direction of Assistant Principal O. T. Wilkerson, came to Keystone Saturday on No. 7 and at 3:30 p.m. crossed bats for the second time this season with the Keystone-Eckman Graded School on the Eckman diamond. In the first inning the visitors made three runs and the home team one; in the second the visitors scored one and the home team one, and at the close of nine innings of splendid ball playing the score remained the same - Bluedfeld 4; Keystone Eckman 2. The game was well played and showed that both teams had been well trained. Principal Rann booked after the home boys while the visitors were ably coached by Mr. Wilkerson, a base ball player of ability.

George Lewis was a victim of a very painful accident in the mines of the Raleigh Coal and Coke Company, on the 5th instant. While working a large quantity of slate almost without warning fell upon and crushed him to the ground. His comrades rushed to his assistance, but found that more help was needed. In the excitement, however, Mr. Lewis, by an almost super-human effort extracated himself. The fact that the injury is not serious is due to the splendid development of the back muscles in the region of the kidneys. At this writing he is resting much easier. Dr. W. F. Montgomery has just performed a successful operation on Mrs. Lowe of McAlpin, at the Coleman Hospital. The patient is doing well. J. S. Butts was admitted to practice in the Circuit Court of Kaleigh county at this term of the court. He has now finished his round of admissions and is now prepared to handle all grades of cases. Rev. Harris of the Ebenezer Baptist church put in quite a strenuous day's work on last Sunday the 9th inst., preaching at the regular morning services of his own church and at 2 p.m. preaching for the Odd Fellows at Sallivan, and back again to his own church at the regular evening services.

GREAT SHIP SINKS One Thousand or More Lives Lost--Torpe dored by Ger- man Subma- rine rine The great steamship Lusitania, belonging to the Cunard Line, was sunk Friday of last week by a German submarine boat, killing more than 1200 people, 120 or more of whom were Americans, among whom were such notable men as Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Elbert Hubbard, Editor and famous author; Frohm, the great theatrical producer, and others equally as well known. Many women and children were among the lost. The great catastrophe took place about ten miles off the coast of Ireland and happened without warning. No effort was made to rescue the passengers from the sinking ship and they had but little time to save themselves. America is stirred as nothing has moved her since the sinking of the Maine. President Wilson and the Cabinet are considering the attitude of the U. S. LOST! LOST!! LOST!!! A cow, wandered away or was driven off on the night of March 23th.

The Golden Rule Association is offering a chance for men and women to be protected by a live business-like institution while living here on earth, where we may do such other good and help each other over the common occurrences and embarrassments, such as being forced to beg, and taken to the poor house, for a living. This association was organized, and has for its object, the protection of its members with a mainly independent and Christian protection, and at the same time enable men and women to be independent and self-supporting at a small cost. Again this is the only original home institution of its kind in the state. And the fact that it has an unbroken record or "doing things" and doing them on business basis is evidence which speaks louder than words of its merits, its usefulness and its unlimited extent for good. Its eleventh annual meeting which will be in Bramwell in June where every member may see the new Home Office with its modern, up-to-date new stone, 2-story, building, erected where formerly a small frame shack stood marks with its original windows, and where the goal of enriched success. Any progressive man can safely feel it an honest member of this association. It is destined to take the state because it is organized upon and operated by the most modern and reliable methods. 214 S.
