ADVERTISE IN THE McDOWELL TIMES, 115 A PATING INVESTMENT. VOLUME 14 LEADER OF RACE DEAD Dr. Booker T. Washington Dies at His Home Tuskegee, Ala. FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Negro Race Laments the Death of This Emirent Statesman, Educator and Leade. Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 14.—Booker T. Washington, foremost teacher and leader of the race, died early today at his home here near the Tuskegee Institute, of which he was founder and President. Hardening of the arteries, following a nervous breakdown, caused death four hours after Dr. Washington arrived from New York. Mr. Washington was born near Hate's Ford, Va., in 1859. He graduated from Hampton Instute, Virginia, in 1875, received A.M. degree from Harvard University in 1896 and LL. D. degree from Dartmouth in 1901. On October 12, 1893 he married Miss Margie J. Murray The deceased taught at Hampton Institute until 1881, when he was elected by the Alabama State authorities as head of the Tuskegee Institute, which he founded. He was an eminent writer and speaker on racial and educational subjects. The Tuskegee Institute started in a rented chantry church and today it own 3,500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings valued at more than a million dollars. Washington won the sympathy and support of leading southerners by a speech in behalf of the race at the Cotton State Exposition in Atlanta in 1895. In addition to his prominence as an educator he gained considerable fame as an author. An honorary degree of Master of Arts was entered upon him by Harvard University in 1896 and in 1901 he was given an honorary degree of Doctor of Law by Dartmouth College. An incident of Washington's career made him the center of a nation-wide discussion during the administration of President Roosevelt. He sat down to lunch with the President at the White House, either by formal or informal invitation. There was a storm of protest from many quarters and hostility was shown toward the Negro educator afterward. His work was not affected seriously, however, and he continued to have the co-operation of the white people in both the North and South in striving for the uplift of his race. Andrew Carnegie, in making a gift to Tuskegee Lastitute, declared that the history of the United States would include the career of two Washington-one white and one black. Dr. Washington earned a great deal of money from his lectures and writings. Practically every dollar was devoted to the work at Taskegee. He spoke all over the United States and in several European countries. "The Story of My Life" and "Up From Slavery" are two of his most successful books. Telegrams of condolence on the death of Dr. Washington pours into the institute all day and late into the night from leaders of thought and endeavor in all walks of life. William G. Willecox, of the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees, wired: "His death is a national calamity, but his spirit will still live to inspire and carry forward his great work." Emmett J. Scott, confidential secretary to Dr Washington for 18 years, said: "The glory of the life was its dedication to the service of both races, North and South. He will be remembered as an educational enthusiast whose sympathies and activities were broad enough to include all races and all movements looking to the betterment of mankind." Isaac Fisher, President of the Tuskegee Alumni Associati on, said: "The death of Dr. Washington closes one complete chapter of Negro history. The whole world is poorer today because he has gone." IRAISES FROM ROOSEVELT. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov 14. - Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement to night on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I was deeply shocked and grieved by the death of Dr. B. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who resided greater service to his own race than had ever been rendered by any one else and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. "I m aware his love and feel that one of the most important of our land is his love." The McDowell Times CLUB ENTERTAINED AT TAZEWELL, VA. Burfield, W.

He was cordially received here by President Dabney, under whom he matriculated at Knoxville College several years ago. On his arrival at Institute, Mr. Prillerman was given a surprise party by the Hexagon Club. RACE PROBLEM HELD "MYTH" Washington. Nov 12.--That the "so-called 'race problem'" is more myth than fact was claimed by Maj John R. Lynch, paymaster, U S A, retired, in an address at the Metropitan A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. Maj. Lynch said that race prejudice is as old as human nature and will always continue as long as people inhabit the earth. He said that the condition of the Negro race in this country have improved greatly during the last fifty years. He urged that all right-mined citizens should vote, irrespective of color. "A man who does not care what is done or left undone is not a good citizen," he said. Following the address of Maj Lynch brief talks were made by Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court, Geo. C. Smith, Charles G. Sutton, Rev. C. H. Stepmean, Rev. W. R Gullins, S. L McLairn and Maj Anderson. Charleston, W. Va., Nov 9.- State Senator E. T.

STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Will Meet at Harpers Ferry on Thanks- giving Day. The time is nearing for the annual meeting of the "State Teacher's Association." This meeting will be what the personal contribution of each teacher makes it. This association stands for the very high development along all lines, but to make the "Standing for" real and tangible, it is necessary for a contribution of the head, heart and pocketbook from each teacher. Then let us make a sacrifice to attend the meeting at Harper's Ferry. We owe it to the association as a measure of professional advancement and personal efficiency. If you cannot go then, so do it, that your annual f'e be sent to Miss Etta Hall, Montgomery, W Va, which will help to get out a minute and do some other things that stand as an indication of a progressive organisation, which an impoverished pecuniary condition of the past has prevented. This is the least you can do and the least which can be asked. Will you do it? We believe you will. No pains have been appared to make this a profit-ble meeting from carry view point. The pr animals been arranged that some time will be had for pleasure and sight seeing, for we believe that "All work and no play, make Jack a full boy," is in a measure true of the teacher. Those going over the G. & O. will take train No 4 leaving Charleston at 3:03 A.M. Wednesday, Nov. 23, and those going over the N & W will leave Bluefield at 9:15 Wednesday at 9:40. 24 The teachers from the two sections meeting at Basic City, flats which place we will go as a party in a useful coach to Harper's Ferry. The Republican Party Greatly Streng- thened BY THE ENTRY OF JUDGE ROBINSON IN THE FIGHT With His Hat in Ring the G. O. P. Will Surely Win; Without it We May Lose. When Judge Robinson resigned from the Supreme Court of Appeals to become a candidate for the governorship, he clarified a very gloomy situation. Admurable men, though Mr. Lilly and Auditor Darst may be, there is no doubt that the general indifference to their candidacy arises from the feeling that the Republican party would have a hard fight to pull either one through at the general election should the Democrats nominate a strong candidate, which they will undoubtedly do. Thousands of Republicans who would have been no more than linker warm supporters of either Darst or Lilly both in the primary and at the general election, now wrought up to a high pitch of enthusiasm over the candidacy of Judge Robinson. It is not that these Republicans do not hold in high esteem the brevy/Attorney-General and the distinguished贪acious Auditor, but they hold party success as more to be prized and sought after than the mere gratification of personal preferences in the selection of the Republican nominee for governor. With Judge Robinson as the gubernatorial candidate of the Republican party, strife and turmoil within the Republican ranks will disappear, and whatever of splice we need to find will be will be directed against the Democratic party. There will be no snaking of the unrestricted chiefs in their tents with a man who has not been a "clanman" as the Republi can choice to succeed Gov. Hatfield. There will be no building a fledgling law enforcement the day he retired from the Supreme O urt of Appals of this state. It unmistakably clear that he is an ardent advocate of a "square deal" for every man, and the laboring population would find in him a friend equally as staunch and, fear en as the present executive head of our great, little mountain state. With Judge Robinson, the Republican (Continued on Page Four.) Storer College Shuts Out the Capitol High School Eleven Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.

A few days ago the furnace and boiler in Lincoln Hall was doctored through some overdraft or neglect. A new one has been ordered and is on the way. The reception room of Myrtle Hall is being refitted and furnished with bean-silal new drums, curains, etc. through the interest of a friend. Mgr. Wade is still reactivating for a game with West Virginia College an institute, with the hope of thus setting clearly the championship of the state. The boys have offers for more games than they can schedule. They expect to go Richmond, Va. to play Thanksgiving Day against the Va. U ion University. Deacon John Hamilton, remembered by scores of Storer students for his kindly ways and pleasant smiles passed away the 4th. A familiar figure has dropped by the wayside. Your job work will be taken care of at this office Mr. and Mr. Henry Welch of Orsers on their return from Welch where they had been to see Mr. W. C. Morris who is in the hospital, stopped by the printing office and manifested their friendship and for The McDowell Times by handing to us a portion of that which makes all men happy. We thank these our good friends. Mr. Welch said: "Tell everybody, if you care to, that Henry Welch, my wife and all my people are for Governor Hattfield for U. S. Senate if he wants to go, and we are wish his administrative policies. We feel that all the Negroes ought to feel pride of the recognition received at his hands. And sorry my wife can't vote." Cal Morris' Life Saved by Dr. H. D. Hatfield W. C. Morris, one of the most successful and respected business men in Pescahontas, Va., realizing that all other help reported to had failed and that he must die unless some extraordinary power in surgery could be secured, learned of the presence of Dr H. D Hatfield at the Welch hospital, quickly betook himself there to and threw himself under the expert and surgical skill of the knife in the hands of Dr. Hatfield. Cal Morris is now joyfully thanking the Lord that such a man as Dr. Hatfield ever lives and that he now lives where otherwise he might have been dead had it not been for this expert surgeon. PRIMITIVE BAPTIST PEOPLE MAKING GREAT RECORD Excelsior Primitive Baptist church raised at its first rally $172 for the newly built church, which is the only church erected on the coal operation. This church was erected under the leadership of Elder 8 King who has only been on the operation about one year. He is a resident of Bramwell, a strong property owner, an industrious worker and a Christian gentleman. He has recently made a purchase of a fine lot near Yukon, on which he expects to build a resident house in a short time. Rev Thomas Woolly, pastor of the Missionary Baptist work, and Rev Randolph of Bramwell are all getting on well together. The article published in this paper on October 29th under the caption of "Church Katy at Excelsior" made an error in stating the amount contiated by Hon J. A Huddleton. Instead of ten dollars, as was published, he gave fifty dollars, the total amount be which $172. The people gave a dinner which was well worth fifty dollars in itself. The good people are all proud of the great work being done under the above named pupel mespel messenger, who preached as Northbork Saturday of last week for Kidge 8 M Mouse and at Bramwell in the Methodist church Saturday night for Rev. K. L. Hill. To Begin Operation Soon---Hon. R. L. Moton and Hon. T. Edward Hill to Make Call For December 5th and 6th. The General Secretary of the West Virginia State Civic League, Hon. R. W. White has issued the call for the initiation of county units in the League on the 5th and 6th of December, 1915. The State Organizer, Hon. E. L. Moton and Assistant State Organizer, Hon. T Edward Hill will have full charge of arrangements together with the Chairman of the Executive Committee, Hon. J. E. Parson. The announcement of the time, place and hour of the meetings will be made later through the columns of The McDowell Times and The West Virginia Tribune. Hand bills with definite information will be circulated sometimes next week. Watch for the published information. NUMBER 36 Dark Races Carried Into Civilization--Reconing Day Will Come RE-ADJUSTMENT WHEN THE WAR ENDS AND PEACE COMES We Can Hardly Hope For a Time When The Strong Will Not Oppress The Weak. The sovereignty of the strong arm—the government of might of which Great Britain is the greatest exponent is destroying itself in the European war and the end bids fair to bring at least a breathing spell of freedom and a taste of unoffered nationalism to those people, who at the point of the sword, have been forced to yield fealty to foreign masters, who just tried their assumption of authority over alien people on the broad and hypothetical ground of spreading civilization. Nothing could be more unnatural than enforced sovereignty and nothing could bear within itself greater capacity for the rapine of nations and the oppression of the weak. The colonization system as far as regards people unwillingly drawn within its wide embrace, is simply slave-driving o. a big scale. The greed of nations finds an all-enveloping cloak in the religion and the culture offered in exchange for the incomparable ja of treedom The discovery of conquests in Egypt and India to throw off the British yoke is only a tame beginning of a great rebellion against usurpation by one nation of the sovereignty of another nation. The situation is not without a grim sort of humor, in that the world's leading nations, which are also the world's leading oppressors, are preparing the instruments of their own uniting by training the colonial troops from Africa and Asia in the due art of modern warfare. The civilization that Great Britain, France and Italy have carried to the dark races of Africa and Asia is the civilization of the sword and the loyalty that has been elicited is naught but fear of the sword. When the war ends and Europe can no longer inspire fear and timidity of other times will be replaced by the confidence that comes with the consciousness of one's own strength and the perception of an enemy's weakness. So many prophecies have proved false ment the war in Europe that the bithermore large crop of initiative persons who fought the war to defender and defend the results a few years after the war began, have departed from public view, and are, no doubt, using their willed vanities in glory accursum. The Democratic party, which has always hitherto limited its writings to persons to assault two persons of Macedonia, is now under the orders of President Wilson honored war paint and is piling its offerings high "in the war go's a temple" in spite of the Bryan behead. In loel, the very air is stirring—with the promise of impending great things. Now, there is confusion, and later, there may be confusion, but out of all will probably come cameras of world freedom more enduring than any that has gone before. We can hardly hope for a time when the strong will not oppress the weak; we can scarcely expect an exact equality of nations; but we may reasonably look forward to the reduction to a minimum of man's injustice toward man during the time that will be required for a grand or a just war within the war ends and peace comes. Looking For a Helpmate Mr. Thomas Nickerson of Panther, bacenelor, but a well-to-do, industrious and painstaking citizen, a man who not only makes money but who has saved and is still saving money, made a business and a vital trip through the upper section of the coal field last week. He says he is looking for some good women who wants to be relieved of the care of where her bread, meat and clothing are coming from and that he is the man to so relieve her of such care. He wants a woman who knows how to cook, iron, feed his chickens and hogs, milk his cows, patch his pants, darn his coats, sow buttons on his shirt and in a general way attend to the domestic duties of his palatial home. It there should be such a woman who will like to run up against a "dead lie loop-cinch" as the foregoing, all she has to do is to write Mr. Thomas Nickerson, Panther, W. Va. M. T. WHITTIOO, Edison.

Entered as Second Class Matter March 22, 1904, at the Post Office at Keystone, W. Va., under act of Congress, March 3, 1879. FRIDAY NOV. 19, 1915 BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Dr. Booker T. Washington is dead, but with his death comes only the initial waves of impression of the fullness of his achievements. A lengthening line of years will bear the full realization of his greatness to those who shall come after us, when the fruits of his labors have been fully gathered. Booker T. Washington was marvelously gifted in human architecture; he was a wonderful builder of men and women from boys and girls. He planned the reconstruction of race ideals—an abandonment of the lofty imagery that had no practical foundation, and he offered in its place, a solid substructure of material development and industrial efficiency. He realized that the highest culture ought not to float in airy nothingness, with no foundation in the practical lines of human endeavor and without the protection of materia wealth. The advocates of higher education found much fault with the theories and practices in education advanced and put into operation by the founder of Tuskegee Institute. Not a few of his critics were members of his own race, but he lived to see the ideas of his opponent-proved false, and his own striving crowned with the laurel wreath of success. Mr. Washington was ultra-progressive and an evangelist of efficiency. If he were just taking up his life's work today, he would encounter instead of opposition on the part of the highly cultured of the colored race, their devoted and unanimous support. For all over the land today, the demand is insistent for efficiency in every species of legitimate human labor, and efficient labor of whatever nature, has been clothed with dignity and honor by an enlightened public opinion. TEACHERS ASSOCIATION SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. Any teacher who will not either attend the State Teachers Association at Harper's Ferry or pay the little pitiful sum of $1 to help meet the general expenses and to pay for minutes to be printed ought not be permitted to teach another year. We hope the various boards of education will become interested enough in these state associations, their exalted purposes for a better understanding and a stronger cooperation among teachers over the state, that they will give their unselfish encouragement thereto. The boards of education will make no mistake in demanding of the teacher who applies for a school to show a certificate of attendance or a receipt of $1 paid to further the great work of this department of educational work. Prof. J. W. Moss, its president, is making a strong effort to make this association both a credit and blessing to not only the teachers but to the state. The corrupt practice law, a few provisions of which were published in this paper last week are applicable to municipal elections as well as district, county and state elections. Men be careful that you do not disfranchise yourselves. Observe the law; obey it in its entirety. The political pot that was just warming up last week is now getting "fagged" hot. "KEEP SWEET." Colored men, be careful that you do not become enemies toward each other because you happen not to agree and believe alike on political matters. This is a state in which we have a state-wide primary election law and the least thing that could be expected would be that, however you disagree you men would be broad enough, strong enough and fearless enough not to depart from the principles of the Republican party just because one man happens to favor a candidate who may not be your choice. Thos. Quarles Speaks on Political Situation Mr. Thomas Quarles of Excelsior, one of the very active workers in the ranks of the Republican party was in the city last Saturday and Sunday and was very free to speak out loudly and strong for Hatfield for U. S. Senator. He said that everybody on that operation would be for Governor Hatfield for U. S. Senator if he ever decided to become a candidate. When asking him whom the fellows would support for Congressman he quickly spoke up and said there was nothing heard on Big Creek but "Cooper, Cooper." Who are the fellows going to support for Gov., Mr. Quarles? "Well you may say for me and this is from a conservative observation, the voters are not enough advised and informed on this question to give a very intelligent answer because of the fact that there are differences of opinion as to who all the candidates are going to be. The two men mostly spoken of are Attorney General Lilly and Judge Ira J. Robinson. Both are liked and both are known to be strong and fearless Republicans, and while it is true that Mr. Lilly is better known than any one else in the race by the boys of this section of the state, it is certainly not without doubt that the voters and the people generally are going to be very particular about whom it is they give their support this year, because to nominate any man this time who is not the best fit political times to successfully run up against the common enemy—the Democratic party—will be political suicide. GOLDEN RULE NEWS Rev. R. H. McKoy, President of the Golden Rule Beneficial and Eddowment Association visited Mora. W. Va., Monday, preached before a large congregation, delivered a lecture on the work of the order and paid the endowment of Mrs. Mary Anderson for $110. Rev. L. Dabney spores encouragingly of the order also. Rev. McKoy went to Premier Wednesday night, preached and lectured on Golden Rule work. organized a large club of men and women who will soon be ready to be set up in an association.

Murray addressed our citizens Sunday at the Scott St. Y. M. C. A. A. A. LILLY TO MAKE RACE FOR GOVERNOR Is Not a Candidate For The United States Senate. The following telegram received from Attorney General A. A Lilly by Hon. R. W. White sets at rest the rumor, that Mr. Lilly contemplates making the race for the U. S. Senate: "Am not and don't expect to be candidate for Senate." It was widely rumored over the state and through the coal fields that Mr. Lilly was about to switch and make the race for the Senate but this direct denial confirm the fact, that the gonial Attorney General will stick to his knitting and continue in the gubernatorial fight. Mr. White, when seen, had the following to say on the matter: "Personally, I knew Lilly was not nor would not be a candidate for the Senate, but the rumor seemed to have been circulated with so much systematic regularity that, in order that the public might know, I wired him for his denial. Mr. Lilly would hardly permit himself to abrasse such faith and confidence in him by the people as to violate it, even in the face of such flattering offers from all sources. Mr. Lilly's primary idea is, to promote harmony in the party and insure the election of the Republican ticket in this state, and to that end he is bending every ef fort." EDUCATOR IS LAID TO REST Simplicity Marks Funeral of Booker T. Washington Simplicity marked the funeral of Booker T Washington, noted educator, race leader and author, which took place Wednesday morning at Tuskegee Institute, which he made famous and has taken such an important part in the elevation of the Negro race. Fully 8,000 people went to Tuskegee to pay the last tribute of respect to Dr. Washington, only 2,500 of whom could get into the chapel. The Episcopal burial service was read and many old plantation songs which Dr. Washington loved so well were sung. A few of the thousands of telegrams of condolence from all parts of the country were read. Prominent men from all walks of life, whites as well as Negroes, attended the services. Burial was in the institute grounds. Memorial services were held throughout the country Wednesday, others will be held almost daily for some time. In Charleston, W. Va., only a short distance from Malden, where Mr. Washington spent his boyhood until he left for Hampton Institute, memorial services were held in the First Baptist church Gov. Hatfield was the principal speaker and paid a beautiful and touching tribute to the great man. Other speeches were delivered by Secretary of State Stuart F. Reed. Hon. L. O Wilson, Prof. William Davis who taught young Washington in the public school of Kanawha county, and others. The local branch of the National Negro Business League and the Dunbar Lyceum held joint memorial services in Mt. Chapel Baptist church, Keystone; Thursd day night. A large crowd attended, able speeches were made and appropriate selections sung. Memorial services will be held in Bluestaff Sunday.

Nothing could be more unwise than to go into battle with the Democratic party with a candidate for governor who could not command the full strength of the Republican party on account of the enmity toward him of factions within his own party. A curious and startling evidence of Judge Robinson's strength with the people may be seen in the familiarity of the populace with his splendid record of achievement. No one is asking, "Who is Judge Robinson?" Everybody seems to know of him, and it is an absolutely safe prediction, that he will receive the Republican nomination for governor next June.
