McDowell County Offers Good Opportunities for Negroes, Excellent Schools, high wages VOLUME 15. NEGROES UNVEIL SHAFT TO THEIR HEROIC SOLDIERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR OF REBELLION MASSES GATHER AT LINCOLN CEMETERY. Portsmouth, Va., Sept. 10—A sleet-lone sentinel in the form of a granite shaft 16 feet high stands in the Lincoln Cemetery, Portsmouth, Va., to the glory and honor of the colored race, who threw devotion and conservation placed this monument on this spot in the presence last Monday of 5000 admiring friends, young and old. Mr. Dred Smith, W. H. Aouse and others under the auspices of Silas Fellows Post No. 7, G. A. R. began a movement a few years ago, looking to the erection of a monument to the memory of our honored dead, who gave their lives in the Civil War for our freedom and pushed it forward with commendable zeal until they were able to place before the eyes of the public a monument that cost something over $40,000 showing that the colored race is as mindful and susceptible of gratitude as any race upon the face of the earth. The followiow program was carried out. Call to order by Dr. Smith, byen Patricia Chester by Prof. W. E. Redick. Prayer was offered by Rev. E. H. Hunter, D. D., and was followed by music by the chair, Mrs. Frank Anchy Wake, a white lady from Norfolk and president of the Daughters of Confederacy was present by invitation and address of the visit assemblage in a few well chosen words. Among other things she said: "All have got to have and recognize leaders. I fear when you have leaders it is your spirit to pull them down. It white labor comes down from the North and supplant you, you have forced it. The woman that works for me is my closest friend. You give a great deal more than the white people. Send your children to school and keep them out of court. You have done much but there is a great deal more to be done. The Daughters of the Confederacy have been talking and planning to erect a monument to your faithful ancestors. During the period of the Civil War there is not one case where a colored man insisted or took advantage of a white woman." Miss Estelle Thompson unveiled the monument after giving a vivid pen picture of the monument and what it stand for. Rev C. C. Somerville, LL. B. D. D., gave the dedicatory prayer. The orator for the occasion, Rev. S. S. Morris, was introduced in well chosen words by Lawyer W. M. Reid. The occasion was of the highest patriotic erudition and was enjoyed by all who heard it. COLORED UNION IS LATEST LABOR STUNT One Thousand Colored Workmen Expected to Join Organization Dallas, Tex., Scot. 7 — Colored body carriers and building and construction laborers are being organized to form a union, according to the statement of a Dallas labor organizer Tuesday morning. "Don't use my name. It might get me in bad," he told a reporter who asked him about it. The labor man said that the Negro body carriers and laborers in the building trades had a right to organize for their own protection and the protection of building crafts generally. He said that he expected over 1000 would join the organization. There are no Negro labor unions in Dallas and there is a doubt if the Building Trades Council or the Central Labor Council would seat Negro delegates. It was suggested that the Negro union might pick white delegates to the central bodies. HOT REPLY TO ATTORNEY RILEY INGLAND OUR ENEMY (CHRISTINE CARTER) Editor McLoughlin Cheryl H. Riley, writing to your issue of September 1, to congratify the execution of Roger C. Merrill, Mr. Riley is an Englishman who believes that anything England could right, I am not disputing the post of Cessant's sentence. It is not now worth while, but I would like to show how words to this Brother, Riley, in a calm and unprejudiced one. The killing of a man or a thousand men on the gallows was never made one loyal subject to Great Britain. In the bloody years of English rule in Ireland she hanged, hundred of Irish patriots; she has rent the Irish "to Commandeur or The McDowell Times. hell." The Irish have fled from their native land by the militants to escape English penal laws and English persecution - and they went "with a vengeance." Why is this, Mr. Riley? Have you read the history of English rule in Ireland? You haven't! How long have you been in the United States? Are you an American citizen, or are you still singing "God save the king." The gallows is an English institution; it was invented in England, I am sure, and the position of national hangmen is hereditary, and the hangman is abby-English—never Scottish, Irish or Welsh. In Mt. Hope cemetery, Boston, Mass., is a monument bearing this inscription: "Sacred the Memory of John Edward O'Kelly, an Irish patriot and exile, Born to Kinsale, Ireland, 1849. Died in Boston January 1854. He was engaged in the attempted Irish revolution of 1867, was captured arms in hand at Kilcoon Wood, was tried by English law for high treason and was sentenced to be hanged drawn and quartered. Was transported with other Irish patrons to West Australia penal colony in 1867. By religion, a Protestant; by nature, a brave man; by birth and principle, a soldier of liberty. "God save Ireland!" What did this sentence mean? It meant that the managed man was to be hanged by the neck for a certain period of time, but not killed; that before life or consciousness had died he was to be cut down, his body cut open and his heart drawn smoking from his breast and cast upon the gallows, and then his head having been cut off and held up by the bangman to the view of the people, his body was to be divided into four quarters. By this means the English government could strike terror into four cities by exhibiting the body in each place. Why was not the sentence carried out? Because the civilized world protested and John Bent was the Irish patriot to help—a British penal colony. I am old enough to remember the troublesome days when England was waiting and abstracting the Confederates, and that time when England mobilized her forces, land and sea to strike us, and when the ultra-doggy Canadians were anxious to come over and help John Paulston the Confederay and hold 10,000 of Indian beings in slavery. Today and always ring and is our economy. She is today doing all the harm in her power, and whenever her robber flag flies over a computed people, there's residence and famine—and the gallows PROMINENT MAN DEAD IN ALA Huntsville, Ala., Sept. 6—Thomas W. Townsend, a co-owner lawyer and capitalist and member of the legislature of Ala- bama during the reconstruction period in this state, died at his home here yesterday, aged 71 years. He owned con- siderable property and was reputed to quite wealthy. Despite the fact that he held state office at a critical time, Town- send was generally esteemed by white people. He retired from active business several years ago. FROM HIS PULPIT FROM HIS PULPIT Cousin of President Wilson Criticizes the Chief Executive. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 10.—Dr. Sawnee H. Woodrow, pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational Church here and a cousin of President Wilson, severely criticised the President and Congress on account of their method of recently averting the threatened railroad strike. The title of his sermon was "A Menace to Free Government." "The manner of the recent settlement," he said, "is enough to cause alarm to every thoughtful citizen and believer in tree government. Such a dangerous innovation, pursued in the future for any length of time, would cause government by the people and for the people" to perish in the United States. "No man or group of men should be able to dictate to the President and Congress of the United States. When it does, we have mob rule instead of self-government. Time should have been allowed for a full discussion and settlement of the whole matter. Such time was not given and the brothershoods alone are responsible for it. "The most pititable exhibition we have ever had was that of a President and Congress of the United States frightened into a blue book by the demands of a small portion of the citizenship. It is not a question of an eight-hour day—it is a question of dictating to the National Government." Successful Operation Mrs. Lacy Ann Foster, of Martinsville, Va., who endured a very serious operation at Harrison's Private Hospital at Kimball, has so successfully recovered that she left the hospital for the home of her brother, Mr. Peter Marshall, last week and will soon be able to return to her home. It is very gratifying to her many friends to witness the rapid recovery from her long illness. She was heard to say, "Long live Dr. Harrison." KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 15, 1916 WONDERFUL INVENTION BY A COLORED MAN Mr. Joseph Davis, Jr., of Winnabors, S.C., son of the successful Negro farmer whose name he bears, has been in touch with deep interest in the makeable amount of time and labor that is lost throughout the "cotton belt" of the South in chopping and cultivating the plant separately. To overcome this most objectionable feature incident to the raising of cotton, Mr. Davis has conceived the combined chopper and cultivation which then or chops and at the same time cultivates the plant by disrupting the soil at each side thereof during the advancement of the machine. The manner in which the parts composing his device are to operate is such in its nature, as to permit of its manufacture at a minimum cost. An application for letters patent is now pending; and the patent rights to be obtained therefor are to sale. Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be saved to the cultivators of the "king of the South" as the result of the inventive genius of Mr. Davis. By so doing he has not only proven himself a valuable asset to his race, but to his country as well. SHOULD EDUCATION OF NEGRGES AND WHITES BE EQUAL SHOULD EDUCATION OF NEGRGES AND WHITES BE EQUAL Much Mooted Question Thrashed Out at the Negro Educational Convention. At the Negro educational convention at Washington, the question "Should the Education of the Negro and White Youth be Identical?" was taken up at the morning session. Prot. J. E. Bomer principal of Feebly school, Wilmington, N.C., leading in the discussion he was followed by J. R. Dudley, president of Agricultural and Mechanical college, Greensboro, N.C., who dressed from Prot. Bomer, saying that each one had particular environments and character traits which must be trained and cultivated. Professor Jayson, president of the state college, Power, Det., brought forth cheer when he said, "Give the Negro a chance as long as you can and as full a training as you can. It is impossible to teach a boy scientific agriculture until that boy has learned to read and write. That is the foundation must first be said, and for industrial education the training is just the same up to a certain point. Beyond that point the boy or girl begins to specialize and emphasis is given to one line of work. Give him the best start possible." A resolution was offered by Col. Geoff T. Wasson to the effect that the congressional Hagius and Fairbanks to president and vice president, but after a lengthy discussion, a substitute was offered. It was contended that the aim of the congress were too broad and no important to allow politics to be injected. Nelson Crews of Kansas City made an appeal for the passage of the original resolution, saying that all right thinking colored men believed in it and favored it. Because of an incomplete roll of delegates a vote on the resolution was deferred until a later session. A distinguished visitor to the congress was introduced in the person of Bishop L. N. losses of the A. M. E. church. He made a short address, saying in part as follows: "I assure you this has been very refreshing to me. I have been so much engrossed in my business that I have employed two and three secretaries, and I had even to realize until this morning that you were in session. I feel that I owe it to myself to pay respects to such a distinguished body of educators and race builders. "I have the right as an American citizen, who for 60 years has stood in the forefront championing the cause of the rights of men, to say that out of one blood God created all men to dwell upon the face of the earth, one rule to regulate the actions of men. "Anything that savors of difference or discrimination is a traversal or reversal of the principles instudied by the King of kings. Everything the white-man has the black man ought to have. The only way to solve this question is, faith in good, right living, special common and numbered." Returned From Va. Messrs Andrew and Anderson Johnson, twin brothers, of Landgrail and Pierces, have just returned from their old home in Appomattox county, Va., where they have been on a ten days trip to the old homestead adjusting some important land matters. These two young men, always industrious, economical and conservative, are men who are looked upon as the type and class of citizenship needed to make any community better, bright-er and more wholesome. They spent the time both profitably as well as joyously. REPUBLICANS AT BECKLEY APS PLAUDED TAYLOR COUNTY CANDIDATE AS NEXT GOVERNOR OF WEST VA. BROADSIDES LAUNCHED AT DEMOCRACY'S CLAIMS Houston G. Young, nominee for Secretary of State, and Dr. M. V. Godbey, Congressional Nominee, Also Accredited Enthusiastic Welcome and Both Deliver Splendid Speeches. Beckley, W. Va., Sept. 11. Raleigh county received Judge Ira F. Robinson with open arms today. The Republicans were enthusiastic in their reception and applauded the Taylor county candidate as the next governor. Houston G. Young, nominee for secretary of state, also received quite aviation and Dr. Godbey, candidate for congress, having preceded the party, arriving today, was being given assurance from all directions that he will carry the county handsomely. At Harper, six miles away from the county seat, Judge Robinson, Mr. Young and party were met by a large delegation of Becky citizens in automobiles and were hurried to the county capital through some of the finest farming lands in the state, receiving no little attention along the road, as everyone apparently had been waiting with eagerness for the first appearance in Raleigh of the gubernatorial nominee. We were for "Honest Ace" in the primary, but we are for Judge Robinson, now that he is the nominee, was the epitome of expressions from Beckleyites, as well as the hundreds of visitors from the county. Chairman S. S. Stutphin, of the county committee, called the meeting to order, asking Mayor H. A. Dunn to assume the chair. Mayor Dunn, a whole souled and popular individual, was given a hearty reception. He introduced Houston G. Young first, and the nominee for secretary of state did himself proud with one of the nearest Republican speeches of the present campaign in Raleigh, so all his hearers admitted. Dr. Goddoy followed Mr. Young, and he too, acquitted himself splendidly. At the conclusion of the doctor's speech Judge Robinson was introduced, with a most significant occasion, which lasted about three minutes before he was permitted to address himself to the audience. After a few preliminary feints, Judge Robinson launched broadsides into the claims of Democracy's platform in West Virginia, as well as nation-joy. He remarked at one juncture: "Cornwell is my petty appeal to prejudice says that I was not fairly nominated. He either doesn't know what he is talking about or doesn't care. In 1904 he said the same thing about Dawson, but Dawson dealt with constructive Republican policies. History repeats itself. The candidacy of Cornwell is merely the candidacy of Watson for the United States senatorship, a continuation of the checkbook and fountain pet, so much discussed." The various criticisms made by the Democratic press were ridicled in vigor on fashion. Many of those who heard Judge Robinson speak before declared he was more forced on this occasion than ever before and exploited Republican doctrines in a manner more effective than that of any public speaker appearing in the county of Kaleigh in years NO EXTRA PENNY FOR PHONE CALL New Revenue Law Also Remover Necessity For Stamps on Legal Papers. Washington, Sept. 9. — When the new general revenue bill become effective today businessmen throughout the country were relieved of the stamp taxes which they have been paying since December 1, 1914, and which were to have continued until December 31 of this year. The general revenue bill repealed the emergency revenue bill stamp taxes and the Internal Revenue Bureau has ruled that revenue stamps are not required. The stamp taxes repealed include those paid on telegraph and telephone messages, parlor car seats and berth tickets, bonds, certificates of indebtedness, bills of sale, notes, express and freight, protests, perfumery, cosmetics and chewing gum. Several of Keystone's citizens, both white and colored, have been visiting the Bluedfield fair this week. THE COST OF LIVING CONTINUE TO INCREASE The increased costs of living are bringing constant complaints from the inhabitants of our villages, towns, cities and the industrial districts, and it is rapidly swelling into national chorus of protests from people of all classes in these communities. With the rapid advances in the prices of all kinds of foodstuffs within the past six months, and the increased costs of fuel, clothing and other necessities of life, the masses of the people of the United States are brought face to live with conditions that theories will neither remedy or alleviate. The promise of reduction in the costs of living which were made by certain politicians in 1912 have gone, as Jim Fiske remarked, "where the woodbarn raimeth, that is, "up the stout." The charges made by these same politicians that the high costs of living were caused by the then existing tariff seem to have been hot air, for these same politicians have tinkered the tariff so it lowered the revenues and elevates the cost of living throughout the republic. We regret to say that there is not the slightest evidence of a reduction of the high costs of living in sight in the United States. Upon the contrary, everything points to an autumn and winter of extraordinarily high prices for fuel, for foodstuffs and for clothing. The very last important message to Congress was legislation to advance the wages of 100,000 men under the known fact that the $40,000,000 or the $750,000,000, whichever sum that advance imposes on the railways, must be met by direct increases of railway taxation upon the people. Every gallon of milk, every pound of flour, every sack of grain, every ton of coal, every pound of meat, of sugar, of tea, of coffee, every article that enters the homes of the people of the United States will undoubtedly be called upon to contribute its proportion of higher freights, and thus instead of lower costs of living the 100,000,000 of people of the United States are about to be confronted by another advance in prices. Is it unachievable to inquire, what about these promises of 1922 to reduce the costs of living? A BOOMERANG [Leslie's Weekly] Senators who opposed the Clayton and trust act two years ago are witnessing the infiltration of most of their predictions made then to the consequence of exempting labor unions from the provisions of the anti trust laws. The then exempting the labor unions has now reacted in boomerang fashion against the Democrats who passed it. It was the act which made possible a strike of national proportions. Under the Sherman law the Government might have dealt with the situation even as the Darnbary battles were dealt with. The Department of Justice could have brought suit against the unions as a monopoly, and in case of conviction there would have been fines or imprisonment. Now it, cannot excuse injunction proceedings. HEADQUARTERS OPEN Chairman Hatfield in Charge Successful Committee Meeting-Plans Aggressive Campaign. The Republican Executive Committee of McBowell county held a very interesting and successful meeting at Weich Saturday and plans for the campaign were worked out. Hon. McGinnis Hatfield presided at the meeting which was not only attended by a majority of the members of the committee, but by many of the county and district candidates and Republican leaders from throughout the county. Gol. W. Purbridge Payne reported that he had secured two rooms in the Payne building for county headquarters and that they were ready for opening. The committee decided to have a colored banner in charge of a colored man in the headquarters and a motion press authorizing Chairman Hatfield to appoint the colored manager, but Mr. Hatfield referred the matter to Messrs. Adams, Moon, Hill and Pannell, the colored members of the Republican Executive Committee, and after conferring the colored members of the committee decided to call some of the representative members of the People's Colored Republican Organization together and make the recommendation to the chairman through that body. Suggestions, as to the conduct of the campaign were made by Col. W. Burfidge Payne, Judge I. C. Herrdon, Attorney Samuel Solina, Squires A. C. Hufford and C. C. Free, Dr. S. A Danie, candidate for sheriff, W. J. Hatfield, candidate for assessor, Judge G. L. Counte, candidate for prosecuting attorney, and other leading Republicans. Chairman Hatfield was authorized to take charge of the headquarters and do whatever necessary in the absence of the full committee. --- After a short executive session the committee adjourned. COLORED REPUBLICANS HOLD SESSION Sunday afternoon representative members of the People's Colored Republican Organization from five of the districts in the county met in the Times office. Vice Press, C. H. Rice, of Northlake, and Dr. W. L. Colson of the city presided and after brief discussions unanimously authorized Secretary S. B. Moon to write the county chairman recommending T. Edward Hill for manager of the colored bureau. The recommendation was written and signed by the secretary and Messrs Rice and Colson, vice presidents and Monday afternoon Chairman Hatfield announced the appointment of Mr. Hail who began his work for Emory. The Republican county headquarters occupies rooms 9 and 10 second floor of Payne building. These are two large light airy rooms with nine rooms adjoining and are splendidly outfitted. A large banner extends across the street from the Payne building to the McDowell County National Bank building.

Senate Balloting Cultivation of One of Hotter Fights Ever Waged in State and Marked Reunion of Republican and Progressive Parties. MAINE RESULTS FIGURES FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. 1914—(State election) Curtiss (Republican) elected governor by plurality over Haimes of 3,177. Gardner (Progressive) received 18,222 votes. 1912—Wilson, 31,115. Roosevelt, g. 29,121. Tatt, 26,540. Wilson's plurality, 2,620. Combined Tatt and Roosevelt majority over Wilson, 25,955. 1910—Democratic governor elected by plurality of 5,161. Portland, Me., Sept. 12. With all prevents in the state reported, returner governor give Milikun, Republican, 74,301; Curtis, Democrat, 61,002. For United States senator Fernald, Republican, 70,201; Hale, Republican, 60,289; Johnson, Democrat, 62,462; Jillis Democrat, 61,302. If the Republican congressional candidates hold the lead they had at a late hour, Louis B. Goodall, in the first district, Congressman John A. Peters, in the third, and Ira G. Hersey, in the fourth, will be elected. The election was the culmination of one of the hottest fights ever waged in the state and marked the reunion of the Republican and Progressive parties, whose differences in 1912 gave the electoral vote of Maine to President Wilson and two years later resulted in the election of Governor Curtis, a Democrat, by a plurality of 3,180. Tongtai a figure indicate that the larger percentage of the Progressive vote, which two years ago was 18.56, was cast today for the Republican ticket. WOULD IMPROVE W. VA. ELECTORATE Census Figures Show Enfranchise ment of Women Would Decrease Illiterate Vote. Study of some West Virginia statistics shows how weakly grounded are any leagues in that state that equal suffrage might enfranchise a great mass of ignorant voters. Anti-suffrage who are making the claim base their assertions on two things. The fact that among other women a number of Negroes and foreigners would be enfranchised, and the assumption that all Negroes and foreigners are ignorant. But as the West VirginiaEqual Suffrage Association points out, the ignorant vote in any state is the illiterate vote, and the figures of the last United States census show that the addition of women to the electorate would decrease the ignorant vote. In West Virginia there are 133 colored males to every 100 females. Likewise there are 262 foreign males to every 100 females. At present 22,670 colored men and 7,263 naturalized men are voters. If voters are extended to women 15,114 colored females will be added and 2,800 foreign females. To every 100 colonel Miners. Coke Men and Laborers wants all over McDowell County - Business Openings. NUMBER 27 PRESIDENT WILSON AND LABOR; HUGHES' RECORD CHIEF EXECUTIVE REFERS TO FOREIGN LABORERS AS THE "COARSE CREW"-HUGHES' RECORD CLEAR. Washington, D.C., Sept. 11. A comparison between the records of President Wilson and Governor Hughes is not to the credit of Mr. Wilson in the eyes of organized labor. It is immensely to the credit of Governor Hughes. President Wilson has never shown a sludge for the laboring men's welfare—his efforts to settle the railroad embryo was the first time the President manifested the slightest interest in labor's affairs, and that interest was not due to any love for labor but to the spirit of public opinion which demanded there should be no strik. The dispute had been brewing for many months but the President waited until a little more than sixty days before the national election to summon the brotherhood chiefs and the railroad heads to Washington. Labor unions are positioned in looking awkward at the President, in view of his spoken and written utterances regarding labor. In Mr. Wilson's "History of the Amer- ian People" he says "The Chinese were more to be desired as workmen, but not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every year of the eastern ports." In the same book the President said, "And now there came multitudes of men of the lowest class from the south of Italy, and men of meaner sort out of Hungary and Poland, men out of the ranks where there was neither skill nor energy nor any initiative of quick in- elligence." What do American citizens of German, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, or any European ancestry think of that?" On June 3, 1863, in an address to the graduating class of Princeton University, Dr. Wilson expressed his remarkable views on labor in the following words: "You know what the usual standard of the employee is in our day. Prior to give a little as he may for his wages." Contrast the labor record of President Wilson with the labor record of Governor Hughes. Governor Hughes has never written or spoken a single word criminal to laborer. On the contrary he was the greatest friend of labor that ever occupied the Governor's chair at Albany. Legislative records at Albany show that during his two terms as governor of New York he signed at alder laws. In New York state, during 187 years, only 162 labor laws were passed. One third of these were signed during Hughes' two terms as governor. CRIME REDUCED Charleston, September 9 — Fred O'Rihe, State Tax Commissioner, in a statement made public here, claims that in the two years the state prohibition law has been in effect there has been a reduction of 60 per cent in crime and 40 per cent in drunkness in West Virginia. His claims are based on figures received in official reports from more than 60 municipalities in the state, which show that the year before the law went into effect there 19,660 arrests, while during the first year after the law was passed this number was reduced to 9,960 and the year following to 8,557. male voters will be added but 60 women voters. To every 100 naturalized male voters will be added 38,12 naturalized women voters. In West Virginia there are 100 white males to every 100 white females, exclusive of white foreigners. There are now 208,811 white males in this class over 21 years of age. 11 women are given the vote there will be added to the white electorate 26,000 females. Thus to every 100 white men who are already voters will be added 94,13 women voters. In other words, at present there are nine white votes in the state to every colored and naturalized vote. Among women there are 15 white votes to every colored and foreign vote." By the addition of the women to the electorate, therefore, the proportion will be raised from one Negro and foreign vote to every nine white votes, to one to every twelve white votes. But the census of 1900 shows that of 74,866 persons in West Virginia who can neither read nor write, 42,511 are men and 32,355 women. In other words, to every five illiterate males there are but four females. Thus when women are added to the electorate a word ———— MEM@ER : NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION WHITTICO & HILL Ircevewem » reormirrons. M.T. WHITTICO, Editor. + T.

Tuesday, September 12, at the First Baptist church, Kimball, W. Va., a very sad but impressive funeral service was held over the body of Miss Murrell Robinson, the oldest daughter of Rev J. W. Robinson, who departed this life Sunday, September 10. She was a graduate of the Kimball Tidewater Graded School, and at the time of her death was a member of the second year class of the Brown Creek District High School. The high esteem in which she was held was attested by the many tributes of respect in the form of resculptures and flowers and the large crowd that oame to pay the last tribute of respect. The following program was very impressively carried out: Funeral March, Mrs. Maggie Gillis Song, "Aleep in Jesus" Choir Song, "Asleep in Jesus," Choir Scripture Reading, 1 Cor. 15 chapter, Rev. G. W. Woody Invocation, F. C. Reed Solo, "Face to Face," Mrs. J. B. Webb Resolutions from High School, Miss Jessie Early Song, "Angels get my mansion ready," Choir Resolutions from the Sunday school, Miss Lucile Craghead Song, "I will be watching. I will be waiting," Choir Sermon, Rev. J. E. Pryor Dust, "When I shall fall asleep," Mesdames J. W. Moss and R. D. Booth RESOLUTIONS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Truly, he did give to us one of his bambis to be a joy to her home and a pride to her school, that has assembled today to commemorate the new life of its most beloved members, Murrell V. Robin we. We cannot call this a solemn or sad occasion. It is one of gladness, yea of joy, that one who has been among us as friend, a pupil and a classmate has been promoted to a new and perfect life. And yet, we can not but regret thy passing, dear pupil and dear classmate, for you will not be with us in body, yet we shall feel your angelite presence by inspirations leading us to live a life as sweet and pure as yours was. Whereas, In His infinite and divine wisdom, the heavenly Father has called home one of his children from labor to rest, from illness to rest. And Whereas, Little Murrell, our pupil and classmate, answered to the call, she will not be itt our midst again in body; she will not be present to render us the service she so willingly and untiringly rendered; yet we feel that she hovers near us today and is making sweeter music than she made when she was with us, and Whereas, Murrell has left this earthly home for a heavenly one, one more beautiful, more perfect, to dwell with God, and has left behind a life so exemplary, so sweet, so simple, and yet so angelic, be it Resolved, That we, teachers and classmates, who are to lose our pupil and classmate, strive to follow the life of one whom God his chosen for one of his angels. Oh, may we live as fit and as prepared a life as this one; though so short, yet so God like, that when God calls us, we may be as ready and as willing to answer the call. Murrell is not dead, she sleeps. Respectfully submitted, LEONARD BARNETT, ELBERT PETERS, JESSE LEE EARLY, MATTIE YOUNG, M. EDNA JAUKSON. RESOLUTIONS FROM THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Whereas, God in his wise providence has removed from our midst our beloved Murrell Robinson, who at the time of her death a member of our Sunday school, also organist. Resolved 1. That we bow in humble submission to his will, realizing that our loss is her eternal gain. Resolved 2. That we shall always cherish her memory as one who lived, worked and loved doing at all times what her hands found to do as a task assigned to her by God and not by man. Resolved 3. That we as a Sunday school will her, but as individuals as well as an organization will push on to the mark of high calling which is in Christ Jesus, profiting by the lesson Honest Tailoring Do You Know a Good Thing When You See It? $18 $15 $20 taughtups, that the greatest ting in life is service. Sister, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as a summer breeze. Pleasant as the air of evening, When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be the silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low; Thou no more will join our number; Thou no more our songs will know. Yet again we hope to meet tree, When the day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no tarewell tears are shed. Resolved 4j That we extend to the family our heartfelt sympathy, and a copy of these resolutions be sent to the familyp, one be spread upon the face of the minutes of the Sunday school, and one be sent to our local paper for publication.

Many interesting exhibits are in from the Dominion and British West Indies. The Grand March of the different powers of the allies, even to the South Africans, is the grandest spectacle witnessed from the grand stand. The sixteenth of this month, Ontario will reach her climax in temperance, for she will wipe out her last drop and join other states and countries in the prohibition march. The private picnic club made up of a number of Toronto's best, to meet once a week and to introduce one to the other's visiting friends, had about six weeks of real pleasure, but has closed out for the summer. Many were the sad hearts, when we sang our farewell song on Center Island out in Lake Ontario. The Embroidery Club has been quiet for several weeks but will resume her work after Holloween, since other social features intervene. The three colored churches of Toronto are doing good. Each minister with his congregation is trying to christianize yet this people does not think the church the social center. The B. M. E. church gave a splendid concert last week. The Baptist church will give its concert Wednesday night. Only local talent will take a part. Dr. and Mrs. Lee, of Winston-Salem, spent sometime in the city with Mr. and Mrs. P. Price, the adopted parents of Dr. Lee. He is an energetic young man who is doing a good work in his profession in Winston, has a large practice and is a property holder in the very prominent part of the city. Dr and Mrs Lee were kept on the go all the time, for Toronto people will entertain their friends. We were sorry to part with them. Theresa and Price, their two children, were the pets of all who met them. Mrs. Ducat, a teacher of Brooklyn, N. Y., with her daughter, Miss Ruth, spent several weeks in the city. Misses Smallwood, Kennedy, and Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Wells, of Washington, helped to enliven society. Misses Finney, of Philadelphia, and Wanza, of Charleston, W. Va., were tourists to the city for a few days Dr. and Mrs. Hargrove, of Wilson, N. C., on returning from the National Medical Association which convened in Kansas City, stopped to visit Mr. and Mrs. Vick. We were pleased to have a short call from them. The schools are beginning to open here and every avenue is open for an education with little cost. Mrs. Hattie Perry, who has been spending sometime in Chicago, has returned. Mesdames Milford and Jones have been taking swimming lessons out at Hyde Park for a while. Messrs. Richard Clark and C. H. Milford took a few days at the exhibition with their wives but have gone to Vancouver Islands. Mr. Jenkins spent a few days in Ottawa last week. Owing to the war, everything is very high in Canada and still going up. Mr. Whitney has been making an effort to raise a colored troop for the European war, but has not as yet succeeded.

P. O., Vivian, W. Va. No where in the state of West Virginia were there more enthusiastic education seekers than the thirty-six young men and women who have enrolled at the Kimball High School. This year, Kimball High School has a bright outlook. In addition to the regular academic studies and industrial work, modern languages and laboratory sciences are being offered. In this day, when the knowledge of science is so necessary, one has a rare opportunity when such courses are offered. The industrial course—Manual Training for the young men and Domestic Art and Science for the young women, which in themselves are of vast benefit to the pupil whether he continues his education or otherwise, are to be more comprehensive this year. Along with the academic and industrial training, the young people have an opportunity to grow socially, and indeed, social development means so much in one's education, and the High School is the place to receive it. The literary societies and other organizations of this school offer thus The physical development of a boy must not be overlooked; and this's the Kimball High School care for in a manner of athletics. Foot ball, base ball, basket ball and tennis will be the means by which the young people will secure this development. In this day, when a High School education means so much to one, let every young man and every young woman of Kimball High School feel that they are securing the highest intellectual, social and physical education that a proficient faculty can impart. Taken to B. C. I. Mr. James George, of Northfork, accompanied his little daughter and niece to the Blindfield Colored Institute Monday, where they will be for the year under the safe leadership of Prof. R. P. Sims. Dr G N. Marshall, of Keystone, accompanied his daughter, Malaline, to the same school. They all seem pleased at the honor of having their daughters placed in this institution, especially since Prof. and Mrs Sims are careful with the girls. Rev. J. D. Price, pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, is doing excellent service. He has a large congregation. We indeed feel proud that we have such a man among us. Our revival will start on Sunday and we hope to bring many souls to Christ. Mrs. Matti McClaine, who is visiting her home in Bedford City, Va., has not returned. We are pleased to have Mr. Kyle Campbell, of Bristol, Teen., a very refined young man, cast his lot with us. It seems as if he is very much devoted to a certain young lady of our town, Miss Hattie M. Cousins. We are expecting him to stay a time. We are glad to welcome Mr. and Mrs J. W Lowry in their trip to Stonega and Bedford City. Va. They report a pleasant time. Mr. and Mrs. Lowry entertained Mr. and Mrs. Fuell and Mr. Campbell Sunday afternoon The choir is progressing nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Fuell were up on Tuesday and lent their assistance. Miss Hattie M. Cousins spent a very pleasant time at the Summer School at Virginia Union University at Richmond. During her stay, she visited the sea coast, Hampton and many other towns. The Cleopatra Literary Society is doing great work in the upbuilding of the community. We hope it will continue to grow. Mr. Armstead Ferris has returned from his trip nome, Bedford City. POINT PLEASANT O. V. A. H. Mrs. Julia Alexander, who has been confined to her room for several days on account of illness, is much improved at this writing. School opened here last Tuesday with the same teachers as last year. Mr. J. H. Henderson, principal, and Miss Mithue Colston, assistant.

The colored Republicans of Williamson, and by the way all the colored people in Williamson are Republicans, say if any one will show them a Negro Democrat in that city, and they go further by saying: "If any man will show them a Negro Democrat in Mingo County, they are willing to go on record as favoring lynching, because they will certainly lynch the first Negro in Mingo county, who says he is a Democrat." Miss Jennetta Morris left the city last Monday for Bluefield to enter the Bluefield Colored Institute. She is a graduate of the High School at Kimball, and was very active in the Sunday school of the Baptist church here. The entire community wishes for her success. Hon. L. M.
