TUESDAY and Wednesday of this week have been memorable days in and around Bramwell as no other days. The eyes, minds and hearts of the people were turned in and centered on the Golden Rule Beneficial and Endowment Association people, their work and their general progress as a fraternity as no other in this state. Every train that arrived brought great crowds of delegates from every section of the state. Early it was seen that the delegation was going to be larger than ever. The Executive Committee, Board of Directors, delegates and members assembled at the Hall about 10 o'clock a.m. where about 650 members regaled themselves in the colors of the Association and marched to the Bluestone Baptist Church where the sessions were held. Devotional exercises were conducted by the Chaplain, Rev. L. Dabney. Introductory remarks were made by Vice President P. W. White, who made some excellent and timely suggestions and presented the President to the body in glowing terms of eloquence. THE PRESIDENT'S REMARKS WIN APPLAUSE. The President, as is usual, began his address in the midst of breathless silence. His introductory remarks won the attention of the crowded house. He at once plunged into the very heart of the richest practical truthes with earnestness such as has not before been head. And from the beginning to the end of his address it was pregnant with the best practical truthes that has been the pleasure of the Association to hear. The address was prolonged because of constant outbursts of applause which punctured his speech almost at the end of every sentence. He claimed that there was no harm to imitate the white people so long as we do it by getting property, building homes and educating our children. He appealed to the race to live more economically. He gave a statistical account of the race's possessions and complimented them for the gradual but substantial growth of the race from the time of its freedom from slavery to the present. He urged upon them the necessity of having confidence in each other and especially in the leaders of the race. He vividly and pointedly reviewed the political efforts made by the various states of the South and the U.S. Congress here of late in their attempts to pass discriminatory laws against our people by enemies of the race and at the same time plauded the friends for having defeated every iniquitous measure. He appealed to the race to make, save and hold; urged upon them to buy homes, educate your children, live economically, be polite, industrious and emphatically declared that envy, malace and revenge against and toward one another was suicidal.

The male members and friends were requested to bring in $1.00, and the females, 75 cents. At 11:00 a.m. a large audience assembled to listen to a very excellent sermon preached by Rev. J. W. Robinson, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Kimbali, W. Va. The speaker took for his text Matt. 26:22: "Lord, is it 17?" Subject—"The Three Groups." He divided Christ and the disciples who accompanied Him into the Garden into three groups. "There were eight in the first group, who stopped just inside the gate. These were fartherest away from Christ, and nearest to the world and Judas and the enemies of Christ. They were so far away," said the speaker, "that Christ could not reach them to wake them up. These are analogous to a large part of the membership of the church. They represent that class of members who believe in card parity.

It is true they went to sleep but they were near enough for Christ to wake them up. This second group may be compared to the devoted part of the Christian Church. The third group consisted only in Christ." To say that Rev Robinson preached an excellent soul stirring sermon is putting it tamely. All were made to say, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us by the way." The most excellent choir of Scott St. Church of Bluesfield, of which Rev Mitchell is pastor, were present and rendered music for the occasion. At 3:00 o'clock, a large audience reassembled to listen to a most profound sermon preached by Rev. L. A. Watkins, pastor of Algoma and Powhatan churches. Rev. Watkins took his first text, I Cor. 13:13; "The greatest of these is love." Rev. Watkins never does things by halves, and he was at his best on this occasion. His words were like live coats taken from Jehovah's alter. The pastor, Rev. Mitchell, preached a very excellent sermon Sunday night, Rev. G. W. Woody, moderator, Flat Top Bapt.

The pastor and church wish to thank the friends for their liberal support. (Continued on Page 4.) DESPERATOR CAUGHT IN POCAHONTAS BY BYRD WADE Emmett Lawson, desperado of Pocahontas, Va., who struck his wife with a chair a few weeks ago and escaped after breaking her arm, and after assanitizing the doctor who was summoned to give her relief, and at the same time who made desperate attempts to kill the doctor, was caught in Pocahontas a few days ago by Byrd Wade, private detective of Pocahontas. The outlaw was turned over to the officers of the town of the scene of the tragedy who returned the would-be murderer to Pembrook, Va., where he was dealt with according to law. GRADUATION CLOSES YEAR AT INSTITUTE Large Class Receive Diplomas From State Supt. Shawkey P. P. CLAXTON SPEAKS Compliments the State For Its Liberal Support of the School. The leading speaker at the graduation exercises of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute was the Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education. His address might be titled "Democracy in Education." He made a plea for the education of all peoples and all classes of people. He complimented President Prillerman in terms of high praise for the great work he was doing for his race through the work of the Institute. He also complimented the state for its attitude and liberality toward the school, adding that it was among the best six in the United States for the education of the Negro youth. The presentation of diplomas was made by M. P. Shawkey, and the governor, on the part of the state, presented the new dining hall to the Institute.

Mitchell, the pastor PARADE The grand parade started in Keystone and ended at the church in Eckman. The famous Keystone-Eckman band furnished the music and a long line of uniformed and regaled Knights marched a la military. CHURCH SERVICE The feature of the service was the presence of Grand Chancellor L. O. Wilson, of Charleston, W. Va., State Librarian and Member of the Republican State Executive Committee. It was announced that Prof. Wilson would preach the sermon but owing to his weakened physical condition he requested Rev. W. H. Mitchell to preach for him and mostly talked to the vast audience a few minutes. He assured the audience that he appreciated their invitation, was glad to be present and that another time he would gladly preach for them, but he felt that he could be of far more service to the Order and to the race by conserving his health than by preaching at that time. The ritualistic service was conducted by G. H. Rice, of Northlork, president of District Grand Lodge No. 2, and Mrs. Emma Maynard of Eckman, after which the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Rice, in FIRST AID CONTEST AT GARY The Regular Semi-Annual First Aid Meet of Employees For United States Coal and Coal Coke Company on Saturday an Interesting Event.

The various teams showed very efficient training in first aid work, and Mr. Vitus Klier, who is in charge of the first aid and mine rescue work of the company, was highly complimented on the results obtained. The company maintains a first aid and mine rescue station at Gary, in which classes are being trained in first aid work and the use of mine rescue apparatus daily. produced Editor M. T. Whittico to deliver the opening address. EDITOR SPEAKS Mr. Whittico spoke of the purpose and significance of thanksgiving service and paid a gloring tribute to the work and worth of Grand Chancellor L. O. Wilson to the Order and to the race. He stated that Pythianis should be synonym for truth and loyalty and that the word of a Knight should be equivalent to a bond. The most telling and effective part of the editor's address was his discussion of Knights and in fact all men's duty to women. He stated that "if Pythianism means anything it means that Knights will protect the honor, virtue and chastity of their women and girls and drive out from their midst the note bearer for white men, the educer and the culprit who preys upon the honor of defenceless women." He closed his speech with a beautiful picture of the future of the race and advised unity among the various organizations, churches and societies for the general advancement of the race. He advised that regardless of fraternal, religious or political difference between organizations or individuals all should unite for the common good of the Negro race. Rev. W. H. Mitchell delivered the welcome address on behalf of the church and Miss Sarah C. Whittico responded with one of the most beautiful and interesting speeches ever delivered by a woman in this section. SERMON The sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Mitchell, pastor of Wingfield Baptist Church, Eckman, and Scott St. Baptist Church, Bluefield. The text was "Am I my Brother's Keeper?" The reverend spoke of the value of unity and stated that if each man constituted, himself the keeper of the other and really sought to help, cheer and uplift conditions would be far better. He pointed out many of the evils to be found in the coal fields and pointed out means for correcting them. The sermon was able, interesting and instructive. The collection amounted to $32.32. NUMBER PROF. L. O. WILSON Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias State Librarian, and State Committeeman Gives Out Interview on the Political Sit- NAMES DR. HATFIELD FOR NEXT U. S. SENATOR Prof. Wilson, what have you to say for publication" as to the present political condition of the state, and what are you finding to be the feeling of people generally with reference to the various measures enacted during the recent regular and two extra sessions of the West Virginia legislature" "Well, Mr. Editor, you may say for me that the Republican party has again become a live wire and an important factor in our state. The various factions into which the party was divided a while ago have been welded solidly together through the wise statementship and political sagacity of that able, tar-sighted and ever watchful Republican of the old 'Alse Lincoln' type, Governor Hattfield, the people's friend and the man who will fearlessly present an irresistable front to the common enemy in the coming campaign. He will, as usual, defend the principles of Republicanism which have placed this state among the foremost states of the union. "The Republican party, through the present administration merits and is receiving the popular approval of the people as a whole because it has so exceptionally kept the faith and lived up to the pledges made at the May convention of 1912. "Why, my dear brother, at the last regular and the two extra sessions of the West Virginia legislature the administration through its Republican leaders and representatives placed upon the statute books the largest number and most progressive set of laws that have ever been placed upon the records of any state. Among some of them may be mentioned: The corrupt practice act. The public service commission. The workmen' compensation act. The White primary bill. And the tax laws. "The present administration, Mr. Editor, is to be congratulated for the increased opportunities for educational pursuits offered to all the people and for the improved educational conditions which are the most progressive of any in the country. I go farther, and will say that under no previous administration of this state has the interest of the Negro been more capitably cared for, nor the welfare of all the people been more carefully and cautiously safeguarded than in and under the present administration. "In my opinion, Governor Hatfield is the man of the people, believes thoroughly in the people and is today the popular idol of the people. My candid judgment is that they (the people) could do themselves no more noble a deed than to promote him (the governor) to the U. S. Senate, and from what I have learned in my travel over the state of the high estates in which he is unquestionably held by the great masses of the common people, my conviction is that at the proper time the people will exalt him to membership in that most distinguished law making body on earth—the United States Senate." A DEMOCRATIC BOOMERANG Atty. S.B. Moon Flays Democratic Inconsistency The boomerang is a weapon actually employed in combat by the natives of Australia and other remote parts, and it is a weapon figuratively employed (though unintentionally) by the Democratic party in discrediting itself. The boomerang does its work of destruction on the rebound, after being thrown some distance in front of the object which the thrower desires to hit. An inexperienced person using such a weapon has a splendid chance of committing suicide.

Entered as Second Class Matter March 22, 1904, at the Post Office at Keystone, W. Va., under act of Congress, March 3, 1879. FRIDAY, JUNE 4 1915 "WHOOPEE." We had an occasion to recite a little humorous incident that occurred at Welch during the last term of our criminal court, and the incidents happening in it's aftermath are worthy of note. The same Nick Anglion who was acquitted by a jury before the criminal court of McDowell county and later after a motion by the State to set aside the verdict, and who was then remanded back to jail, had another trial before the Supreme Court at Charleston. When Nick was put back in jail after being acquitted by the jury, at Welch, his friend asked "Judge" Solins, one of Nick's lawyers, "What da matter you beata da case and then losa da case." "Judge" Solins was frank enough to tell him that he couldn't answer the question. The Anglion case was appealed to the Supreme Court on last Friday and a decision has been handed down by that body declaring the section of the Prohibition Statute giving the State the right to appeal after an acquital is unconstitutional, as it places a man twice in ieopardy for the same offense. The case was bitterly fought by Attorney Litz and "Judge" Solins on the one side and Hon Fred O. Blue and Judge Simms on the other before the Supreme Court and McDowell county lawyers won out. "Hurrah" who's be the next to puncture a hole in the prohibition law. Hold up your own home town. Stop being so measly cheap and cowardly as to feel it a compliment to talk ugly about the town you live in and have your family. The man who takes a delight in knocking and carrying news to somebody else about his home town is less than a man. There are men who live in Keystone where they have made their money, have their wives and children and don't want to leave and will never leave till they are carried away in death, who, because some prejudiced cheap set of jacks talk ugly about Keystone, they cringingly, spinelessly and cowardly take sides and dare have the gall to join in with saying ugly things about this town too. Such old nypocrites, box-ankled, knock kneed, twisted toed, cross-eyed, two-faced animals ought to be driven out of this town. Dr. Jepson is Named LOCAL PHYSICIAN APPOINTED STATE HEALTH COMMISSIONER.

Sanders with his bride, Mrs. Lucinda Yancy Sanders, brought cheer, joy and gladness to the old birth place and home—Martinsville. Rev. and Mrs. Sanders were the guests of Mrs. Woody Sanders, the mother of the groom. Thursday evening the bride and groom were highly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sanders, the brother of the groom and his wife who spared no pains in making the evening a memorable one. Those who were present were as follows: Prof. and Mrs. Jas. H. Thomas, Rev. and Mrs. G. P. Watkins, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sanders, Mrs. Woody Sanders, Rev. J. H. Davis, pastor Fayette St. Christian Church, Rev. J. E. Carter, pastor High St. Baptist Church, Rev. Temple Johnson, Danville, Va., and Mr. John L. Hairstor. The evening was a most pleasant one and one long to be remembered.

BIG COAL CONTRACT Four Hundred Thousand Tons Contracted For by Navy Department For Delivery Within Coming Twelve Months. A contract for coal from this section that will be of interest to all those who are anxiously looking forward to better business conditions was awarded during the week just closed. The Crozer-Pocahontas Company has been awarded a contract for 400,000 tons of run of mine coal to be delivered in a year, beginning on July 1st, to the navy department at Lambert's Point. The coal under this contract will add considerable to the output of the field, as it has heretofore been furnished largely from the Pennsylvania fields and the larger part of it is therefore a clear increase in the business of the region. In this connection it is interesting to note that the coal tonnage has become heavy enough within the past few weeks to require the employment of additional trainmen, it is said, some twenty-five within the last few days being reported to have been put back to work. Where a little while back the haulage dropped down considerably, now an increase of several times the volume goes over the road daily to eastern points, the normal average having been surpassed a number of times recently.—Bluefield Telegraph.

GREAT CHRISTIAN REVIVAL AT CINDERELLA PEOPLE PROGRESIVE--DOING WELL (Walter Gray.) We are prospering, through the providence of God, and the Christian work is prevailing over the great anxiety of satin, such as would kill the souls of men and women. We have just finished a ten days meeting which resulted in the addition of 27 souls to our little church. Our pastor, Rev. T. H. Hardy, seems to know just what kind of man to get to conduct the meeting when he engaged the Rev. Henry Holden, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church of Asland, Ky. His words pierced the hearts and burned like fire of those who heard him. One of the many good subjects of Dr. Holded was: "Jesus is passing this way" and before he had finished it seemed that Jesus was somewhere in the pulpit, for such rejoicing was never before witnessed in Cinderella. Then when the meeting was over our superintendent of these works had a beautiful pool prepared for the baptising and everybody turned out. The white people were there in large numbers and manifested a spirit of personal interest in the meeting. It was a grand day at Cinderella and at the close when the Dr. and our beloved pastor, whose homes are in Aslah, were about to take their leave for their home city, our pastor remarked that Jesus had certainly been here for he was in every biscuit that the dear sisters had cooked for them. Our collection was $41.76 for the day. LOCAL ITEMS LOCAL ITEMS Rev. R. D. W. Meadows, State Missionary and a real good worker, a very influential man and orator was in Keystone this week.

ADDRESS BY ATTY. W. J. PARKER. ATTORNEY W. J. Parker, of Bluefield, one of the strongest members of the Association, was presented and addressed the convention on the subject: "The benefits of the G. R. B. and E. A. to the Race." He handled his subject ably and well; yes like a man who knew what he was talking about. His principle theme was a combination of forces or a concentration of ideas. He urged upon the race the importance of standing together: REV. W. W. HICKS General Treasurer, whose record tallies to the penny for every dollar placed in his hand for the G. R. B. & E. A. told them to cultivate the spirit of having confidence in one another. Said it was to be regretted that the white press was largely prejudiced against us a race; but said after all, the Negro was his own worse enemy. Declared that individual ownership—that is where some poor Negro tried to live to himself—didn't mean anything and that success would never follow such methods. He appealed to the greatly crowded house to read Negro literature, patronize Negro business, institution, and employ Negroes to help you out in whatever you have to do. He spoke for near one hour and 30 minutes most interestingly and pleasingly to the convention. At 3:30 the Sixth Degree was conferred on quite a large number of new delegates making announcements. House adjourns. EVENING SESSION. At 8 o'clock devotionals were conducted by the chaplain. Welcome address was delivered by that witty, pithy and fearless lion in the gospel, Rev. R. D. W.

Gregory preached from Ezekiel 9:45. This great preacher fed us from the holy Scripture until our hearts overflowed with joy. At the evening services Mr. E. E. White was present and contributed $6.00. Mr. White tries to make things pleasant for his employees and is approachable at any time. There were other white visitors present who contributed also. It was a high day in Zion which all seemed to enjoy. The choir under the direction of Bro. R. T. Thornton rendered excellent music assisted by Bro. Gilbert Jones and wife and others from Lester.

A DEMOCRATIC BOOMERANG A DEMOCRATIC BOOMERANG (Continued From Page One.) newed hope after the defeat of 1896 in the issue which the result of the Spanish-American war furnished." "Imperialism." The acquisition of our island possessions made necessary a greater army and a greater navy, but Bryan saw in our enlarged military establishment an evil even more menacing than the gold standard, and preached his second crusade, which falling like the lure of free silver to rescue the "Holy Sepulcher" from the infields, the great political inventor from the state of Nebraska made "special privileges" the objective of his third and last fight to capture the presidency and saved his country. All of the tenets of the Democratic party for the last quarter of a century are sleeping their last sleep in the burial ground of political errors, even imperialism, which was the sweetest morsel that the tongue of Bryan ever caressed has taken the form of a ghostly boomerang and in its backward spring has landed on Bryan's poor head to his great discomfort and the shame of the Democratic party of today, which trudges wearily in the wake of the great pacificator who reached the presidency by the votes of a minority of his fellow citizens. How very distressing it must be to the talkworn Bryan to hear the men whom he made the nominee of the Baltimore convention, which was equivalent to election, in view of the disastrous Republican division---yea, how more than distressing it must be to the garrulous if not great secretary of state to hear that man, who is now president, join his voice with those who are now calling for a greater army and larger navy to make our national defense a reality instead of a ghastly joke. The ghosts of the past are rising up to mock the Democratic party and taunt that party with the memory of the follies that were written in Democratic platforms and voiced from the stump, imperialism, among others, so that not even Bryan would now dare re-affirm them in a chantauqua lecture. DISTRICT GRAND LODGE NO.2 HOLD BIG MEETING IN CITY OF KEYSTONE District Grand Lodge, No. 2 K. of P., under the leadership of Mr. C. H. Rice, Grand District Deputy, met in its annual turnout in this city last Saturday and in the midst of a large crowd of Pytians and Calantians the meeting was called to order by the Grand District Deputy and turned over to the Grand Chancellor L. O Wilson, who made a strong and convincing talk for the Order, dealing with a number of new and progressive ideas. After which, he called upon Editor M. T. Whitteco to make an appeal for new and old stock holders in the Pythian Mutual Investment Association to subscribe for new and to pay on old shares of stock. This feature of the meeting was in every way a success and not only did they pay liberally on the old shares that had been subscribed some time ago but many subscribed for new shares of stock. The meeting was harmonious in every particular and though there is a cry of hard times many were the tens and twenty dollar bills seen in men's hands. Mrs. R. L. Christian acted secretary in the absence of Prof. E. L. Rann. Drs. Harrison and Marshall made some very interesting talks on the Order and suggested some very good ideas as to how we might best meet and pay off the last dollar of our indebtedness on the Charleston building. Strong signs of life, confidence and faith in the Order and in the leaders of the institution were manifested.
