McDOWELL STILL BANNER REPUBLICAN COUNTY IN STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA Democratic Opposition Strongest Ever Witnessed VOLUME 15. McDO STILL BANNED COUNTY IN WEST V Democrat tion Stron Witne REPUBLICANS WIN EVERYTHING IN OLD McDOWELL Republican majorities in McDowell were given out as follows: Hughes, 3,380; Sutherland, 3,380; Cooper, 3,580; Robinson, 2,955. The county shows a Democratic gain of about 1,200 over four years ago. So far as the congressional vote is concerned, our candidate, Hon. Edward Cooper, is elected, which was by the big vote given him in old McDowell county since every county in the Fifth Congressional District went Democratic except McDowell. Her 3,580 loyal, true, trusted and tried Republicans rallied to the support of the party candidates without fear or intimidation and battered down the Democratic wall of opposition as well as putting a ban on the few hypocritical Republican ingrates. "STORMING THE PASTOR" This is an age of bloodshedding and high price of living. In consideration of this fact, the members and friends of Holmes Memorial and Trinity churches of Obstent Knob and Ridgeway, Henry county, Virginia, have been moved to inquire about their pastor. The question they raise is this: Is our pastor, Rev. J. A. Davis, sate? Now, to help answer this question in the affirmative, Elder Wm. Dillard of Trinity church sent over to the pastor on last Saturday by early crow rise a load of corn driven by his wife. Also on last Tuesday night at an unexpected hour, a crowd of jolly members and friends of Holmes Memorial church, under the leadership of Mrs. Mahalie Wade, and the lieutenantship of Miss Ida B. Dodson, wrapped at the door of the manse singing, "Open the door for the children." After a few minutes the inmates were aroused and the door was opened. Then in-rushed the happy band and loaded the table with both needful and useful articles of provision for the pastor and his family. Among the gifts there was something for boiling, baking, sweetening, sopping, cleaning, drinking, pieing, frying. Lost but not least, some money for buying Remarks of appreciation were made by Rev. and Mrs. Davis. Rev Davis said that "Charles Hughes nor Woodrow Wilson couldn't be any prouder on Nov. 7, after receiving the winning vase, than I am to receive these articles of provision which manifest your combined interest in me and my family's welfare. After singing a few songs and passing some jokes, the party reported to their homes. Those who were present and constituted the gift were all follows. Meadamus Mahalie Wade, Missouri Spencer, Alice Hereford, Millie J. Murphy, Mariah Walker, Lucy Brown of Kimball, W. Va Misses Ida B. Dodson, Lucy Dodson, Mattie L.

Graham, Va., Nov. 8 - A distressing accident occurred here yesterday morning when a five-months-old colored child was burned to death when the house of Catherine Bradshaw was consumed by flames. The baby was in the house when the fire broke out, and being attended to only by small children, the building burned down over the child The Bradshaw woman at the time was working in Bluefield. She had left the children at home and gone to Bluefield to do washing. The house was located near the colored school building. Two small dwellings were burned. The buildings were located on the outside of the fire limits, where they could not be reached by the fire fighting apparatus. The baby, a boy, was named Jack, being the younger of the family. A large crowd gathered on the scene after it became known that a human being had been burned to death. DEMOCRATS TO CONTROL SENATE BUT HOUSE WILL BE VERY CLOSE NEW YORK, Oct. 9....Although the Democrats are assured control of the senate by a working majority, control of the house still was in doubt at an early hour today. The Democrats had made slight gains, however, in the late returns in Montana and Kansas. Two hundred and eight Democrats, 198 R-publicans, two Progressives, one Socialist and one Independent had been elected with twenty-five congressional districts yet to be heard from late tonight. JUDGE G. L. COUNTS M. H. Elected Prosecuting Attorney after one of the most aggressive and brilliant t campaigns ever waged by any county candidate in the count. H: will "back hand" no more. Elder John Fountain, senior Elder of Trinity Presbyterian church, Ridgeway, Va., departed this life suddenly while at his work September 25, 1916. He was sixty old years of age. Was married twice. God blessed his home with an increase of nine children for each marriage. Twelve of his children are still living. His funeral was preached by his pastor, Rev. J. A. Davis. Text Mark 13:33. "Take heed, watch and pray, for we know not when the time is." Subject: "The end." Said his pastor, "All of God's material creation must one day meet its end. Man the paragon, of said creation, fashioned after the likeness of his Almighty Maker, is not exempted. He too must pass in his turn out of time into the relentless grasp of an everlasting eternity. For this assertion above stated, God has left us no alternate. The end must come." Elder Fountain was loved and admired by all who knew him. Of the large gathering who attended his funeral and burial, both races were equally represented. He was faithful to the end. Elders of his type are scarce. One of our church's greatest needs is better and more consecrated elders. There was no sacrifice too great for him to make for the success of his church and the welfare of his pastor. It is true that we are absent from his body, but the influence of his Godly example is still living and working with us. A CURE FOR GROUCH. When you're feelin' blue an 'scrappy an' everyone you meet Sort o' turns aside to give you room a passin' long the street. When you're snappy an' you're scrapy, on your shoulder rests a chip. Let me tell you somethin'—listen—here'a friendly sort of tip; Just hike off to the autumn woods where all is calm and still An' stop a while an' listen to the wild birds as they trill, Just watch the squirrels scamper an' just see the rabbit run An' gather up some goldenrod a shinin' in the sun. Just for the once forget about a world of sordid things. Just fancy you're a wild thing with the joy a wild life brings. Just kick your heels an' holler or just whistle some glad tune An' dart around as happy as a butterfly in June. That's the way to work a grouch off—get away to Nature's joy— Let her take you by the hand just like she did you when a boy. Forget the memory makin' an' the fight-in' all the way— An' be a child of Nature if it's but for half a day. Get close to God an' simple things an' just once try to be A little brother to the fox, the quail and chick-a-dee. —Jacksonville Times-Union. Republican Congress. New York, Nov. 7.-The New York Tribune says, according to present indications, there will be a Republican majority of the house of representatives and possibly in the senate.

Thomas S. Allen, district attorney, and four Union Pacific trainmen representing the different railroad brotherhoods are made parties defendants. The bill of complaint alleges that the law is unconstitutional because it is not a proper regulation of interstate committee; because it violates the guarantees of the fifth amendment of the federal constitution, and because it is unworkable as applied to existing conditions under which the trainmen are operating.

Va., Oct. 27, 1916 — On the morning of October 18 h about 10 o'clock, Mrs. Nannie Bettie Jackson, who had been a patient sufferer of a complication of disease, passed quietly away. This and occurrence removes from this town one of the most useful and highly respected women of this history making town. She was born in Tappahannock, Essex county, Va., on February 20th, 1883 she professed faith in Christ while very young and united with the Baptist church in the town of her birth. While at the age of 19 she was married to John W Jackson who had preyed upon his shade in the then rude state of West Virginia, and was brought aside to White Sulphur where she remained until 1876, at which time she came to this town and spent the rest of her life. The deceased was an ideal wife, mother and neighbor and a good manager in her home. At the time of her death she was a faithful member of the Mount Tabor Baptist church with which she had been connected for 40 years. Our departed friend leaves a host of friends, a helpful husband and eleven living children to turn their lost, viz: Mrs. J. J. Turner, Kimberly; Novel Jackson, Wheeling; Mrs. Alverte Robinson, Clarkburg; Mrs. Mide Jackson, Clarkburg; Mrs. Gertrude Taylor, Philadelphia; Miss Nellie, Collie, Tarence and Dunlap Jackson, Lewisburg, and Miss Nannie B.

New York, Nov. 9. On the second day after the American people cast their presidential ballots the result is still in doubt between President Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes has narrowed down to a point where it may be decided by a few western states. Each of the national chairmen expresses the most serious confidence that ultimate results will elect his candidacy. With the contest narrowing steadily to close votes in vital spots, recounts are almost inevitable and each side is on the watch for irregularities.

Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio was the Republican candidate and Samuel J. Tilden of New York the Democratic candidate. The election proved so close that the Republican party claimed the election of Hayes by one electoral vote. The Democrats vigorously contested this claim. An electoral commission was created, with power to decide the question. The commission sustained the claim of the Republicans, and Hayes was declared elected by one vote. The claim of the Republican party was based on the belief that the states of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana had gone Republican. Since these states were in the midst of the transition from Negro to white government, and elections were notorious for fraudulent practices, a serious question was raised—first, as to the proper authority to count the electoral vote, and second, how far it was permitted to go behind the returns of the state authorities to ascertain the validity of the canvases of the votes in the state. The commission, in announcing the result of its findings, stated that it had refused to "go behind the returns" made by the authorities.

FRIDAY NOV. 10. 1916 BLACK MAN LOYAL TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY The election last Tuesday has proved again the black man's loyalty to the Republican party. With less than a dozen traitors, ingrates or jealous cowards among the Negroes, every black man in McDowell county voted the straight Republicans ticket. They voted open ballots on the table and only a few throughout the county marked their ballot in secret. The white men who were Republicans heretofore voted the Democratic ticket in large numbers and we venture the assertion that not one thousand and white men in McDowell county voted the Republican ticket, and after the returns are all tabulated and we have time to study them we will prove the truthfulness of that statement Some of the Republican candidates were scratched because it had been decreed by certain leaders that it must be so. There were "double crossing" as never before practiced at an election in this county, and a strong effort was made to get Negro s to either vote the Democratic ticket in whole or part or remain away from the polls, but this failed and only one Negro in this city voted a secret ballot and two others voted for the Democratic candidate for governor, while one of them also voted for the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator. This course was followed throughout the county by Negroes and if white men who claim to be Republicans, have received honors from the Republican party and got rich because of trading on that party, had given their support to the whole ticket instead of "double crossing" for a price McDowell county would have given 5,000 majority instead of only 3,000. We know the white men who attempted to sell the Negroes out and we know the dozen Negroes who sold out themselves and we herewith remind them that" pay day" will surely come. We congratulate the loyal black men of McDowell who stood as firm as the "Rock of Gibralter" and we honor the noble black women who stood with them. They have rendered the nation a service in saving to Hughes the electoral vote of West Virginia and electing Cooper of the Fifth District to Congress. If Robin apn is governor-elect he also owes his election to old McDowell. J. W. Luther for the senate is likewise endebted to McDowell for his election and the Republican party of West Virginia owes to the Negro of McDowell a debt of gratitude for saving the state from absolute Democratic rule. Again we congratulate the Negro. WOMAN SUFFRAGE CAPRY IN KEYSTONE PRECINCT. Equal suffrage no doubt has lost in West Virginia because of the prejudice of man who has always opposed the advancement of woman, but we are proud to record that: Keystone precinct No.15 gave a majority of 110 for this worthy cause. The men of Keystone are more progressive than in most places and believe in equal justice for all, believing that—both Democrats and Republicans voted for the suffrage amendment thereby showing them selves bigger, broader and fairer than most of their brothers. The women should give credit to Republican and Democratic poli clerks, and T Edward Hill, outside Republican worker for the favorable result recorded at precinct No.15. WILLIAMSON Sunday was a grand day with the St. James A. M. E. Church. Rev. Norman Brown preached two soul stirring sermons.

C., are in line with the progress of the times and are steadily advancing. Rev. H. B. Taylor, of Wilson, N. C., who has been pastoring here at the St. John Presbyterian church for more than eight years, delivered a striking sermon to his hearers on Sunday evening. His text was "Draw nigh to the Lord and he will draw nigh to you; resist the devil and he will flee from you." He explained the different ways the devil approaches a person and warned them to draw near unto the Lord. His sermon was a decided hit and every one enjoyed it. The officers and friends of the Bethel Chapel are arranging for a new building. They have a large membership and their coating capacity is not large enough to accommodate their congregation, and they are preparing for a much larger Chapel. Rev. Elliot is the pastor. Rev. J. H. Orow, pastor of the First Baptist church, asked the members and friends at their last meeting for the amount of $25 to arrange some business and they helped him by raising $4. The people are sharing profits with the Lord. The members and friends of the Presbyterian League Society spent a pennant evening at their last meeting. Miss Eile Richards, a student of St. Augustine School, of Raleigh, N. O., read a very nice paper, as did Miss Emma Barnes. Miss Emley Smith, a student of Albian Academy, of Franklinton, N.
