Va., Jan. 7, 1915 To the Hatfield-Robinson Republican Club—Gentlemen: I am sorry that because of rheumatism I am unable to be with you today, but anywhere I can serve do not hesitate to place me and do not fail to enroll me as a member. I am for Hatfield, first, fast, and all time for anything he wants because of what he has done for the miners and my people, and I have heard enough about Judge Robinson to make me know that he is the man for governor. I am with you. Lilly and His Platform Hit Hard. Saunders B. Moon Tells of Remarkable Meeting Held at Kimball-Hatfield-Robinson Sweeping County. ( BY X. B. MOON ) We have been watching with keen curiosity for visible evidence that the new gospel of party repudiation of which Attorney General Lilly is the flamboyant herald has been as seed corn in good soil, and on last Sunday afternoon at Kimball, in the good old county of McDowell, our curiosity revealed in luxuriant exhibition — we are — what? We are the "first funer" of these volunteers. KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, JAN. 14. 1916 compilation of grievances against the Republican party's administration of the government of it is state which the former "terror" of Kraigey county bookkeepers affectionately terms, "my platform." we saw a Hatfield Republican organization effected, having ratifications extending throughout the county of Melbourn, by a multitude of men representing every profession, business and occupation in which the colored population engages, not even excepting the preachers, some few of whom are said to have temporarily loosened their pulpits to worship the "golden call" in the sample of Lilly. Indeed, one minister literally "earned through floods and flames" to reach Kimball, for, having missed the train he walked fifteen miles over the rocky slopes where storing torches burned, and waded through flooded mines in order to arrive at the place of meeting in time to get his name on the roll and mumur, "God bless you." Do you remember the Elkhorn flood? If you do, then you have not forgotten the mighty road of waters. Well, when a great flood of humanity made a friendly charge on Ross' Hall at 1:30 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, the trampin of thousands of feet and the rumble of hundreds of eager, earnest and determined voices were not unlike the "roars of many waters." Big Creek district hugged Elkhorn and Northfork districts, and Aikin and Brown's Creek "now wowed" like brothers long separated. While the sentiment was rampant and unanimous for Governor Hatfield for the United States Senate and Judge Robinson for governor, none was laboring under the impression that there is or will be any sort of understanding or coalition between these two justly popular public men, all of the efforts of the "special agents," who are burdened with the ponderous volume post marked, "Platform, from Beckley, W. Va." to the contrary notwithstanding. The organization was elected with the harmonious precision and smoothness of a "german drive" and discussion was far away as in the date when the allies will be able to dictate terms of peace in Berlin—a date that may be indicated by a big naught on the farther side of—never. While oratory had a field day, arrows were shot from "bows to abuse," for everybody was too confident of having picked the winners, and too continually enthusiastic and good natured to want to imitate "Old Man Grump." From Charles Brooks Smith, Washington correspondent It is rather remote until the state can assign of 1920, but if a man in public letters for himself as high a goal as his governor of his native state, he generally proceeds as quickly about it as he possibly can four, and sometimes more years in advance of the setting day. We have had six governors in West Virginia since 1896 and five out of the six began laying their plans and working them on at least four years before they realize their fond desire. Governor Glasscoe was the exception and exceptional circumstances, so well remembered the need not be recalled here, were responsible for his sudden and unexpected landing in the gubernatorial swivel. Which brings us to the interesting subject before the house which is, that "they say" it is the cherished ambition of young "Ed" Cooper, the Congressman from the old Fifth district, to be governor of his state some day. "They" is an authority that any sin-hardened political writer will inform you, is more often correct than otherwise. Of course, Mr. Cooper has not said anything about it anybody, that's certain, but there would be nothing wrong about it if he had the only thing is that it isn't done that's all. One's political ambition in the long drawn-out formative period is invariably one's heart secret. But only "they" who never sleeps and is always on the job can read minds at times easily as he can read reading, and it seems that he has hit the lobes of Mr. Cooper's cerebellum and made an interesting discovery. Edward Cooper is the most interesting member of the state's delegation in Congress for several reasons. One is that he is a new man, and hardly known to the public outside of his district. And that is sufficient reason why there is curiosity, but well-intentioned interest in him. The expectations of those who do know him—that he is good material out of which live-wire congressmen and state leaders are developed—have been accepted by other West Virginiaians at their face value. He has all the appearances of making good, and the politicians hereabouts and at home "have their eyes on him." It is said that Mr. Cooper's annual income is $50,000, but a trivial thing like that hasn't sped him. Not a spoil, he is just one of the plain tales. Invented by Negro Cement Worker of Philadelphia. WILL SAVE GOVERNMENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS The Device is to be used on Rapidly Moving Trains and Has Been Given Severe Test. Philadelphia, Pa, Jan 31 — James C. Joes, a colored laborer of this city, has in ented a mail delivery device to be used on rapidly moving trains, which postal experts have given a severe test and say that it will save the government millions of dollars. Jones, who is fifty eight years old, and has had a hard time of it making bith ends meet, all his life, believes that he will soon become wealthy. He expects to get a million dollars from the government for his invention. The last test of Jones' new device was made when a train going as high as INCREASED COST OF RUNNING ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE Promises Economy as Governor, But Expenses Run up as Attorney General. Attorney General Lilly has made much advance in his declaration of principles re- cently promulgated to the people of the state as to what he proposes to carry out to the way of "economy and retrench- ment" in the expenditures of state gov- ernment, in the event he is nominated and elected to the governorship. It it should come out that Mr. Lilly would become governor he would necessarily be required to act on some other methods in carrying out "economy and retrench- ment" than which has characterized his administration of the office of Attorney General. An analysis of the expenditures of the office of Attorney General shows an increase of approximately forty per cent during the Lilly regime over that of his predecessor, General William G. Conley. The exact figures are as follows: General Counsel's Administration. For the last year, ending September 30, 1912, the total expenses of the Attorney General's office were $1,211.35. General Litigation's Administration. For the year ending June 20, 1915, total expenses of the Attorney General's office were $211.35. This increase extends over all the expenses of the office, including the salary of an additional assistant Attorney General, increased expenses in the salary of demographers, printing clerk, and contingent expenses of the office. Figures speak broader than words, and the Attorney General must realize that the people are going to look into his record along this line rather than accept any highounding promises of "economy and retirement." browsily talks plainly, lives a plaintly and lonely life who has ever met him would hold that income against him. Mr. Cooper has worked in the mines. There is not a job connected with coal mining that he has not filled. He knows that business from b to the second s. And another amount he entered politics a youthful if not "dangerous" radical, and he has never been anything else except a "radical" when compared with those who are typed in the public mind as "conservatives." You will have to handle it to young fellow with $50,000 a year, who elects to be "radical," as having a mind of his own. The popular idea of a radical is "if," if he were shown that much money he would drop dead in his tracks, and the popular conception of a "conservative" is a sing gentleman with an income large enough to choke a Dipodectus to death, who may or may not have been a "radical" before he made the other directors split fifty-fifty. Cooper was put on the Mines and Mining Committee by Minority Leader Wam because Cooper knows all about the mining business. His appointment to such an important place in his first term was an unusually high compliment, but a deserved one. Furthermore, it gave entire satisfaction to mine operators and to officials of the miners. We'll do it—just 'phone it to The Mc Weill Times. miles an hour copied bags of mail and took on others without endangering the contents of the bags or the containers. With devices now in use trains must slow up to take up mail bags automatically and the government loses over a million of dollars a year in damages for lost and destroyed mail matter and in the cost of pouches that are buried under the wheels of the trains by inadequate catch devices. At the last test Jones accompanied the postal authorities and directed the test from the mail car. An engine attached to two cars was run past the receiving device. The test was made eight times, and on each occasion the train was operated at an increased speed. The mail catcher worked perfectly at fifteen miles an hour and performed its allotted function without hitch after the speed of the mail car had been put to sixty miles an hour. The inventors, who is avement worker, has never had any scientific training. His invention is the outgrowth of an idea that struck him some years ago when he read a government pamphlet telling of the need of a perfect mail catcher for use in the railway service and the fortune that would fall to the successful inventor of such device. E. M. Norris, superintendent of the Railway Mail Service of the Second Division of New York, representing the Government in tests. B. S. Fellows, chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service of the Eighth Division, Philadelphia, was also present, as were John C. McGann and W. W. Beaky, representing the B & O Railroad. At the conclusion of the experiment the government officer announced their approval of the device although they refused to give out a statement. The report was forwarded to Washington. Mrs. Anna Hicks Dies At the Age of 76 Last Sunday night, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Becker, Gary, Mrs. Anna Hicks, age 76, mother of Mrs. Becker succumbed to the ravage of death Her original home was Salem, Va., but every winter she always spent the time with her son-in-law and daughter.

NEGRO NOT TO BE APPOINTED The President Refuses to Appoint One Reg- ister of Deeds Washington, Jan. 11. The fight that has been made by senator Var A. van. of Mississippi, for over two years to prevent the appointment of a Negro as register of deeds for the District of Columbia, one of the highest salaried positions in Washington, has been crowned with success at last. When Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the Colored Democratic League, called on President Wilson yesterday in a final effort to land the place for a Negro Democrat, he was told by the president that he has decided to appoint a white man to the position. The president, according to Bishop Walters, based his renal to follow the time honored custom of naming a Negro for the place on the ground that the nomination of a man of that race could not be confirmed in the senate. "At the same time," Bishop Walters stated, "the president promised to name Negroes to several minor positions still vacant." The position of register of deeds has been vast almost three years. It has been held by Negroes for twenty years, each succeeding administration appointing men of that race. When it was first whispered about that President Wilbor intended to follow the custom, Senator Vardaman called on him and served notice that he would never permit appointment of a Negro to be confirmed by the senate. Having practically already promised some of the Negro policy leaders that he would appoint a Negro, the president waited for two years for Vardeman to give way, but Vardeman held fast and said that if the appointment was made he would present the matter to the Southern senators in such a way that he could never be confirmed. THE WORM TURNS Bayonets Rout Mob, Foil Lynchers and Avert a Race Riot--Negroes Had Armed For Fight. Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 27.--Until a late hour last night a mob of white men, variously estimated at from 100 to 500, surrounded the Muskogee county jail here, determined to lynch two Negroes assumed of killing a police officer. Great Celebration at Lords New Hall Public Installation a Success--Uniform Rank Turn Out Led by Brass Band--Able Speeches--Plenty to Eat in the evening two attempts of the mob to break into the jail were repulsed by state guardsmen. The attackers broke down the front doors of the jail with a steel rail, but Company F, National Guard, charged with fixed bayonets and drove the mob back. An added danger was the presence in a lot just across from the jail of 200 armed Negroes. They gave notice that if the men were taken from the jail, the Negroes would open fire. While the mob still waited before the jail at midnight, the two Negroes were dressed in militia uniforms, taken out a rear door, rushed to automobiles and taken to Tulsa. Entrores note: It was not the presence of the state militia that caused the mob to cease its efforts to get the prisoners, it was that 200 quiet, well armed, determined Negroes stationed on the vacant lot across the street. The Negro has learned from hard and bitter experience that when one of his face is in danger of the heartless, brutal mob that he cannot depend upon either the elected white officers of the law or one state militia, but that he must arm himself and protect the life of his brother without regard to regular constituted authority, and more and more he is learning to do that. If Negroes all over the country will in a quiet orderly manner form themselves in cases of this kind mob rule would soon end. NEW COURT OF CALANTHE Distritt Deputy O. H. Price of the K. of P., and Dr. G. N. Marshall set up a new Court of Calanthe in Kimball Saturday night. The New Court will bear the name Rose of Kimball, and after the nigation one of the most elaborate and telicious suppers ever served on such an occasion was enjoyed by all present.

Downas Locate Stolen Property With Aid of Blood Hounds Sunday night of this week when all nature was wrapped in slumber, some unknown party or parties entered or climbed upon the back porch of the residence of Mrs. Belcher between Keystone and Burke and carried away several nicknames and shoulders of meat. The theft of the meat was discovered early Monday morning and for some time thereafter it seemed that no trace of it would ever be found. How ver, through the skill of Officers Downs and McKardan, guided by the latters blood hounds, some of the meat was located in Ginder Bottom and the rest was found in Burke, every piece being recovered. The parties whose homes the meat was located in claimed they had bought it. Supreme Court Asked to Pass on Question Does Failure to Select Negroes for Jury Service Deny Race Equal Protection of the Law? Washington, Jan. 4. The Supreme Court of the United States is to be asked to pass on the question of whether the failure in southern states to select Negroes for jury service is denial to Negroes accused of crime of equal protection of the law. Counsel for Robert Kitchin, Negro, counsel to be hanged in Washington, Ga. for the murder. LARGEST CIRCULATION ANY WEEKLY IN THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. Celebration is New Hall Success--Uniform Rank Brass Band--Able Plenty to Eat The public installation and celebration held by the Courts of Calantha in Lord's Opera House Thursday night. Jan. 6, was witnessed by more than 250 people and the company of uniform rank in full regalia from McDowell, W. Va., under the leadership of that splendid K. of P. Col. Caz Donually. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Landgraft brass band assisted by a few members of the Keystone-Eckman band. The band and uniform rank in all their splender added a military touch to the affair and many comments were made on the splendid appearance of Col. Donnelly and his company. The meeting was called to order by District Deputy C. H. Rice, and by motion of a member of the Court, seconded by a knight, Dr. W. L. Colson was chosen Master of Ceremonies and after a very happy speech in which he praised the ladies of the Court, he introduced Mrs. Ida Whitteco who spoke briefly and eloquently of the work of the courts and of the lodges, the interest of the women in all affairs which concern the men and the home, and at the close of her speech she advised the men to be square and honest in all things especially in the manner of exercising the suffrage. She advised the men to vote only for such men who had proven their friendship for the race, their fairness to all, and "such men were Dr. Hatfield and Judge Robinson," said the speaker. The mention of the names of these two distinguished men brought fourth long and loud applause. The next speaker on behalf of the Court was Mr. Mattie Thornton, who authored the history of the Court of Calanthe, its progress and its benefits to society and the race. She stated that the Court always paid their obligations in sickness and death and if any one doubted the truthfulness of her statement "just die and try." The speaker stated that she endorsed what the previous speaker had said in regard to the political question confronting the Negro; that the man who sold his vote should be driven out of society and that the gratitude of the Negro should cause him to support Governor Hatfield and his administration and the fairness and ability of Judge Robinson, with the fact that Dr. Hatfield is for him should cause every Negro in the state to vote for him. Dr. Colson next introduced Dr. R. C. Harrison of the K. of P., a one of the great surgeons of the country. The eminent physician and surgeon delivered an able and scholarly address on the workings of the order, its benefits to the race and the part of the women in the great organization. The master of ceremonies introduced Editor Whittico, Grand Lecturer of the K. of P., as the leader of the Negro newspaper world of West Virginia and a man who had by increasing effort, in the face of opposition and criticism, built up a newspaper of wide spread circulation and wonderful influence. Editor Whittico created much merriement by his witty references to prominent Knights in the audience, told some interesting stories and advised the Negroes to stand by their friends politically. The next speaker was Atty. T. Edward Hill, who, taking his cue from the ladies under whose auspices the celebration was held, delivered a political speech, after paying a beautiful tribute to the Court and to women for their elevation to man in time of sickness and distress. Mr. Hill came out for woman suffrage, urged every woman present to see that husband, father, brothers and sweetheart support true and tried men of the Republican party who have done something to better the condition of the race. The reference of the speaker to some speeches recently delivered in this county by a gubernatorial candidate were loudly applauded. Other speeches were delivered by Mr. A. L. Calhoun and Dr. Brown, after which the master of ceremonies turned the meeting over to Deputy C. H. Rice, who proceeded with the public installation of the officers of several lodges and courts. The banquet was served in the store-room of Lord's new hall. Covers were laid for 250 guests and everybody dined sumptuously. The dance took place in the new hall and continued until morning. der of Henry Brantley, a white man, today filed a brief in court urging that the federal district court of southern Georgia erred in refusing to release Kitchin after conviction, on a writ of habeas corpus. He urged that the failure to have Negroes on the grand and petit juries which passed on Kitchin's case deprived the trial courts of initial indictment.

Brass bands and bam sand- witches didn’t bring that biz crowd of earnest and suber think ing voters out lest Sunday in Kimball. The eloquent outburst of ora‘orical praise of and bou- quete for “Aunt Manda” by the Attorney General were not in this meeting. But the pride of men’s families, the records of deeds done for all the people and the strong statesman-like efforts at putting this state among the foremost states of the Union by the leaders and true friends of the present administration are the things that moved those 200 lorney banded men of toil to come out and organize a Hattield Robinson club. They will sténd by it too. They can’t be bought Ror intimidated. The yoters who are for Robinson don’t need ham sandwitches, they haves plenty of something good at home. They dont bave to be tickled with that kind of tomy rot that appealed tu the poor ignorant black man’s emotions during the Reconstruc- tion period. Our people are not all foois.

ONE OF THE TIMES' BEST FRIENDS Mrs. Malinda Cobbs, Chief Deputy for the Independent Order of St. Lukes. Honest Tailoring On or about February 1 we will serve you at our New Store in Kimball, W. Va. The Christmas tree was given December 27. The Sunday school gave $25.00 for the purpose. Every person on this place received a present from the Sunday school or their friends. Mr. Whittle and Squire Free gave excellent addresses. The scholars seemed at their best in their recitations and singing. The program was conducted by Mrs. C. C. Wormley. The congregation seemed as if they were sleeping through the golden gates when the solos, duets, trios, quartettes and sexettes were sung. Old Santa, better known as C. Bobbett, played his part so amusingly that at times we could restore order for a few minutes for the laughter. The decoration was better than at any time before. Messrs. Carl Bobbett and William Carter deserve great praise for zealous work in decorating the church. Music was rendered by the Wilcoe Progressive Band. We are asked to say that by the cooperation of the Sunday School workers with the Superintendent, S. T. Clark, we have left treasury to start 1966 with 10.25. Long live the Superintendent and others to do much good. The Sunday School of Witco hopes the Dowell Times success, and we also hope that the citizens of this State and country will pay their subscription. Read TheTimes AMONG people who love good music, who have a cultivated knowledge of it, the BALDWIN PIANO is recognized everywhere as the best. In such an atmosphere it is happily at home and with every day endears itself more and more to its owners. the successful unification of the most artistic piano with the most scientific player action made in the world. There is absolutely nothing better, nothing more perfect on the market, neither as a piano nor as a player piano. A. L.
