Commu Celeb Winding Gulf Holds Great Sunday Schools of All Honor Anniversa Declaration of BIG PICNICS AND Winding Gulf Colliery Company and Fete--Able Speeches by Hons. didate for Congress, and WINDING GULF, W. Va., July 6. The greatest Fourth of July celebration in the history of Raleigh county was held at this place Thursday under the patronage of the Winding Gulf Colliery Co., Hon. George Wolfe, manager, and the Lynnwah Coal Co., Mr. E. J. Flanagan superintendent. Early in the morning people from all over the county and visitors from the outside began to assemble and the great day of fete, amusements, parade, picnics and patriotic speech-making was ushered in. A joint picnic of the white Methodist and Baptist Sunday schools and the entire white population was held in a grove near C. P. Tolley's store while the two colored Subday schools held a joint picnic in a grove near the colored church. For one day during the war Hoover's food regulations were forgotten and people from far and near brought baskets laden with the best of food while lemonade and ice cream were free to all. The motto of the occasion: "One God, One Nation, One People, One Flag" was lived up to in every particular. Music was furnished throughout the day by the Ansted band composed of white men and the Stotesbury band composed of colored men under the leadership of Mr. H, G. Gilmore, and the splendid rendition of patriotic airs and popular music often aroused the people to outbursts of applause. WHITE PEOPLE'S PROGRAM The white people rendered their program in the forenoon which opened with prayer by Rev. J. F. Brown. 'Onward Christian Soldier' was sung by the congregation and Rev. Brown delivered at address to the Sunday schools Prof. A. S. Thorn, of Montgomery, Republic candidate for nomination for Congress from the Sixth District delivered an able speech. Hon. W. H. File was the orator of the occasion and delivered the greatest patriotic address ever heard in these parts. COLORED PEOPLE'S PROGRAM. The program of the colored people was rendered in the afternoon and was opened with prayer by Rev. Brown, a white minister. Prof. Thorn also spoke on this occasion and paid a high tribute to the progress, development, achievements, patriotism and loyalty of the Negro. The orator of the occasion was Hon. M. T. Whittico, editor of the McDowell Times, who delivered an able and eloquent address in which he pointed out the duty of the people to their God, the nation and state in this crisis and urged the most peaceful relation between employee and employer, and he made a special appeal to the miners to work regularly and produce as much coal as possible as a means of aiding the government. The editor's witty saliences brought forth frequent applause. At the close of the editor's address the following program was rendered by the Sunday schools: Song, by the S. S. ..... America Paper, by Miss Elizabeth Yates ..... Our America Rec., Mary Calloway The Flap Rec., Robert Redd Answering the Call Soio, Miss Helen Williams - Liberty Bell Select Reading, Miss Lizzie Maddox, subject—Now or Never Dec., Mitton Williams—No More Hands and Eggs Song, The Star Spangled Banner By the School Rec., Miss Helen Williams Knit and Pearl Rec., Miss Willie M. Shellet The Political Safeguard of Liberty Rec., Miss Edna Williams.....Coming Song.....Battle Hymn of Republic BASE BALL GAME. An exciting and hard fought baseball game was played by the Winding Gulf colored team against the Stotesbury and Tams colored team. The pitcher for the Winding Gulf team was one of the crack white players of that place. At a very interesting and exciting stage of the game there came an interruption caused by The McDowell Times the withdrawal of Mr. Roce Mackey of the Winding Gulf team who stopped in the middle of an exciting play to go and take unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Carrie Gravely. Cupid's interference in the game must have brought inck to the home team for Winding Gulf won by a score of three to one. The game was umpired by James Maddox. GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD GRACE Among the visitors were old uncle 1 B. Garrison, one of the best and most reliable citizens of Raleigh County, ex-member of the county court; Uncle Tommie Meadows, 83 years of age, Squire B. F. Meadows and family, Mr B. H. Farley. These old and prominent citizens came by wagon loaded down with good things to eat. Everything on the ground were free, the hillsides were dotted with peole and the best of order prevailed throughout the day. If there was one drop of "boot-leg" or "moonshine" "likker" within ten miles none was in evidence on this occasion. Everybody had a happy day of pleasure and amusement and the best of or her prevailed. The following prizes were awarded: Foot Race--Boys age 9-12 .....

JAMES A. HUGHES (Montgomery News, July 5.) It is the honest belief of the News that a newspaper without the courage to express editorially its convictions, utterly fails in the purpose of a newspaper. With this belief as the basis of one of our most cherished ideals, we feel that we will have failed absolutely in the attainment of our ideals were we to permit the primary to come and go, without having given the readers of the News the benefit of our views as to various candidacies as they present themselves in the present campaign. We have no criticism to make of any candidate for nomination upon the Republican ticket. Our choice of candidates may not be the choice of a majority of the voters of the party, and as the choice of the majority will also be our choice alter the primary election, we reserve the right now to say what we please in behalf of our loyal and unstinted support to the entire tickets as it shall be determined by the majority of Republicans in West Virginia on August sixth, next. The candidates now receiving the greatest public attention, are those of four of the most prominent men in the state, who aspire to the nomination for United States Senator on the Republican ticket. Virgil Highland, Davis Elkins, Joe Gaines and Jim Hughee, are all chosen political friends of the writer. If KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1918 such a thing were possible we would have all of them in the high position they seek. But one of them only can carry off the honors, and it has been a matter of much speculation with us as to which would present the most formidable front to the enemy this fall, and when elected best serve the State in the National body at Washington. The result of this speculation, after weighing all matters carefully, causes our choice to fall upon Hon Jas. A. Hughes, of Gobell county. Columns upon columns would be required to fully set forth our reasons for this choice, but it has as its basis, the fact that we believe the man, for many reasons to be pre-eminently fitted for the place. He has made an enviable record as the representative of his Congressional district, in the House of Representatives at Washington, and by reason of his wide experience in that connection, he is the possessor of knowledge of the needs of the country as a whole and of West Virginia in particular that places him in the position of being of immediate and valuable service to his constituency. He is a brilliant stateman and lawyer, a man of wonderful magnetic power, and a conservative and broad minded business man and thinker. We have read with particular care the views of the several candidates, and find in all of them much that commends them as exceptional timber for the United States Senatorship. But we believe that the views of Mr. Hughes, as set forth in his announcement, of date, April 10, will strike our readers as being as near what present conditions demand as possible, and with these few remarks, intended only to give the readers of the News the benefit of our views, for what they are worth, and we think Republicans will agree with us that we are justified in our choice for this important candidacy on the Republican ticket to be voted next November. Gen. Botha Discloses Enemy Plot in South Africa; Great Unrest PRETORIA, July 5.—Premier Botha, of the Union of South Africa, has issued a statement showing that serious unrest exists in South Africa. Strong police and military measures are being taken to cope with the situation. Premier Botha said that had not the prompt measures been taken the situation would have culminated in a grave disturbance and serious loss of life would have followed. The Boer leader added that the government had information pointing to the existence of a movement having for its object the submersion of the legislation by violent methods. Continuing, Premier Botha in his statement says: "There is good reason for suspecting that enemy agencies are at work in this country and that they are intriguing to stir up strife not only among Europeans but also among the natives, and no means or matters are deemed too despicable so long as they can obtain their object." FORMER MINE INSPECTOR VISITS COUNTY; MAKES COAL DEAL Mr. Lawson Blenkinsopp, of Prestonsburg, Ky., spent a few days in this county last week and visited this city Saturday. Up to June 21 last year Mr. Blenkinsopp was mine inspector of the 15th district comprising a part of McDowell county and was rated as one of the best mine inspectors in the state and an expert on shaft mines. Mr. Blenkinsopp is now general manager and secretary of Big Sandy and Millers Greek Coal Co., an operating concern owning 500 acres of coal land in Kentucky. He is president of the But Greek Coal Co., owning 1200 acres, also president of the Great Central Company, doing business in coal, oil, gas and lumber, owning 4,300 acres of land in Kentucky and 700 acres in Oklahoma and Montana. While in this this section the former mine inspector closed a deal for 1000 acres of the best Millers Creek Block coal in Floyd county, Ky. This seam ranges from 4 to 9 feet in thickness and is the coal that "made Kentucky famous" and he holds 4000 acres more of this same coal. Lawson Blenkinsopp was one of the most efficient and popular mine inspectors who ever had charge of the mines in this county and the miners regretted his leaving the field. He not only had the good will of the operators but the horyne handed sons of toil who burrows into the bowels of the earth extracting the "black energy" that makes the nation more felt that they had in him a friend who at any cost tried to remove every possible hazard of life, limb and health out of their way in the discharge of his duties. Mr. Blenkinsopp left Keystone for Bluefield, from there he went to Pense Springs where he joined Mrs. Blenkinsopp and together they will go to Pennsylvania for a visit. Swat the fly. EQUAL RIGHTS PLEA IS MADE TO CONGRESS Delegates to Session Here Put Petition in Penrose's Hand WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30—Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, in a petition unanimously passed by the National Colored Liberty Congress which closed its session here yesterday. This and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discrimination are advocated by the petitioners as a winte-war measure. The petition has been placed in the hands of Senator Porose, and it is to be presented to the Senate this week. The Colored Congress protests that Negroes are discriminated against in public and Federal buildings in Federal territory in public carriers operated by the government in certain states, and in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain states and in the civil service. The petitioners ask, in view of the military service renalied by their race during the present war, "that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for democracy." They also protest the segregation of races in the officers' schools. The Congress was called for the purpose of laying the cause of the colored man before the United States Congress, and was attended by 115 delegates from 33 states. H. H. Harrison of New York, was chairman of the Congress, and Prof. J. W. Eell of Kentucky, Secretary. William M Trotter, of Boston, was elected chairman of the National Executive Committee for the coming year. OFFICERS PICKED FOR NEW NEGRO REGIMENT TO BE FORMED May Absorb Many Officers and Non-Comb. in 10th, 11th and 12th Battalion. FILL UP ON THE JUNE DRAFT Lt, Col. Watts, Major Hayes, Major Ross and Major Barrett Are Assigned. CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, July 6.—Col Charles W. Castle, commanding officers of the 158th Depot Brigade, has been designated to command the new Negro regiment to be formed at Camp Sherman, it was made known officially late yesterday. Other officers to be assigned to the regiment are Lt. Col. Arthur P. Watte, Major Charles A. Ross, Major Thomas M. Hayes and Major Barrett. The officers of the 10th, 11th and 12th Training Battalions with a few exceptions other than in the Headquarters Detachments, are expected to complete the officer personnel. This organization will be designated the 802nd Regiment, Inf., N. A. It will absorb it is indicated, one half the noncommissioned personnel of the 10th, 11th, and 12th Battalions and take over the barracks now used by these organizations, which may make room by moving into tents. The Negro regiment, which is to be completed with selects of the June draft, will be organized to full war strength, and will be the first colored regiment to train at Camp Sherman. Colored troops were trained here with the Eighty-third division but only in training battalions, and not in full regiment. Orders from the war department call for a complete regiment, commanded by white officers. NAVY COLLECTING PHOTOGRAPHS OF ITS MEN LOST IN SERVIGE Through the Bureau of Navigation the Navy Department is now collecting photographs of all men of the service who have lost their lives in service against the enemy. To perpetuate the memory of these men who have made the sacrifice their pictures are to be preserved in the various training stations of the country. Secretary Daniels has requested that these photographs be sent to the Department by the next kin. As rapidly as these pictures are received copies are made and the originals returned to the owner. A photograph of each man is then forwarded to the training station where he began his career in the service. There, a memorial gallery of honor or a hero's corner is formed so that for all time the faces of the men of the Navy who have made the supreme sacrifice may be honored by the youths of the future sent to the station for training. Relatives of men who have been lost in the present war who have not received requests for pictures are asked to mail them to the Department for this memorial. All pictures should be securely wrapped after they have been marked with the name, branch of service and training station the young man entered after enlistment. These should be addressed to the Recruiting Division, Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, Washington, D.C. When copied, the photograph will be returned to the sender with one of the copies. AGRICULTURAL AGENT INSPECTS GARDENS Active Worker for Patriotic Garden League--Discusses His Work. Mr. Bert E. Sayre, special agent in Horticulture of the State Department, was in Raleigh and Wyoming counties last week and spent a few days in McDowell this week inspecting gardens. In an interview with a representative of this paper Mr. Sayre said "Patriotic leagues have been organized in practically every city, large and small, town, village, hamlet, mining and lumber camps in the state. In these places gardens range from a few to hundreds and thousands and in size from a small yard to several acres." He stated that "The patriotic garden league idea has resulted in a great increase in gardens this year over last and in better gardens." Mr. Sayre is especially interested and active in urging successive planting so that the land will be used for some crop throughout the entire season and he states that his department is advocating the sowing of crimson clover and rye as a cover crop for winter. "The people of the entire state are waking up and taking a great interest in garden and crops and in the general work of the Agricultural Department not only as a means of greatly increasing the food supply but because transportation conditions will be greatly relieved thereby," said Mr. Sayre. Gen. Edward O'Toole, general superintendent of the United States Coal and Coke Co., is quoted by the Special Agent as saying that the money value of the crops raised on the twelve operations of his company in McDowell county this year will easily reach $200,000. In an effort to stimulate interest in garden cultivation and cause rivalry among the men in better gardens, Mr. Sayre is urging coal companies to offer cash prizes to those having the best gardens. He says that he has planned to Hon. George Wolfe, general manager and treasurer of the Winding Gull Cemetery Co., and Mr. Wolfe suggested that he suggest the amount and number of prizes, which he did, and after looking at the figures Mr. Wolfe not only approved them but made them double the amount suggested and that as a result there is some contest at Winding Gull to produce and secure the best prizes. TUSKEGEE, Ala., July 1.—Lynchings are increasing, according to statistics compiled by the division of records and research of Tuskegee Institute. In the first six months of 1908 there have been 35 lynchings. This is 21 more than the number for the first six months of 1917 and 10 more than the number, 25, for the first six months of 1916. Of those lynched, 34 were Negroes and 1 white. Eight of those put to death, all Negroes, were charged with attacking women. Of those put to death, three or women. The states in which the lynchings occurred and the number for each state are as follows: Alabama, 4; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 8; Illinois, 1; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 2; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 4; Texas, 7 The 4th in Keystone The Fourth of July was celebrated in Keystone with public speaking, foot, sack, wheelbarrow racing, climbing the greasy pole and other harmless amusements. The celebration was under the direction of Mr. William Downs, Keystone's popular policeman. Senatorial Handicap Entries Warming up--Watson Kicking Dust in Chilton's Eyes--No Ex. citement on Republican Track --Congressional Race Charles Brooks Smith. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10. — The starter's belt has changed from the staleks, they are on the track now taking their final warming up exercises before the gun pops, the barrier drops and they get off in a bunch in the classic racing event of the year in West Virginia—the Senatorial Sweepstakes. They are a likely looking bunch of bangtails, most of'em. Others bear evidence of being able to tell bang tales without number to the measure of expiration their scares arouse. Less than a month now—the sixth of August to be exact—and the agony will be over for some, and just starting for others. It's a great life if you don't weaken. In this field of six—an even half-dozen—there is one that you can't get up any money on from any West Virginia politician of any party who has lived beyond the nine day period and has his eyes open. He has been clocked by all the raibirds that haunt the track in the gray of the early dawn, picked by all the students of the form book and tipped by all the touts that whisper sure things into the eager ears of the crowds that surge through the betting shed and parade the paddock. This bird was sired at Farmington Farms, handled by McGraw at a Wheeling meet for his first track tryout at the Bryan meet in Denver in 1985, further developed along the speed and endurance by Trainer Ohiton for the Legislative Night Races at Charleston in 1911, and since then has dismissed the last-manned trainer and has been handling himself and anybody else or anything else in and about the Democratic stables and tracks he considered worth handling. Boy, page Colonel C. Wayland Watson, and tell him the gang is outside waiting the word to go over. If W. Ellenwood Chilbrun were to express himself on the subject, we dare say that he wouldn't put all the blame for being migrated upon a hope and unprepared Republic. He would doubtless tell us of other things that for base migrataion has any little old Republic backed off the map, such as political parties, also, he would probably be able to name a few individuals trademarked with well known monikers who wouldn't recognize gratitude if it were spelled out in syllables for them. Just which one he would honor with a place at the top of the list we must wonder, but a certain National Committeeman who is about to take unto himself for better or, for worse a certain well known senatorial nomination could be classed as a logical probability. Just what section of the peer-rade the post-masters appointed by him he would have occupy, must be let to surmise, also. They would constitute a large and imposing array. Then there would be the United States marshals and attorneys, collectors of internal revenue, departmental-duty clerks, the National Administration and the Great Jetsona only knows how many care. It is not that they loved him less. Ab, me no. It is that they love Cosner Wayland Watson more. As the late Mr. Postum Post so beautifully expressed at: "There's a Reason." There are no such long odds posted by the bookies on the Republican thoroughbreds as are given on the colors of Fairmont Farms stables, and the bookies are justified in their caution by a survey of the field. It is such widespread difference of opinion as to the probable outcome of this particular event upon the card which has ever made for spirted horse races, political campaigns and divorce suits from the beginning of time. Put up or shot up—and the betting is lively, arguments numerous and the controversy exciting. Some there are who play Highland for for first place and Elkins to show, and others show taste for reverse. Most of the real and mind bets are laid down that way. At this stage of the game, there has been no strong play on Gaines and Hughes. Highland and Hughes have been galloping about the State, both exhibiting form and condition, so their admirers claim. There seems to be a delay in getting Gaines started to the forensic field of stumps, while Elkins is further away than Phil Sheridan was when he rode to Winchester "twenty miles away" and Miners, Coke Men and Laborers wanted all over McDowell County—Business Openings. NUMBER 15 rial ndicap up--Watson Kicking s Eyes--No Ex. republican Track ional Race turned defeat into a glorious rout. But even so, his long range guns have been able to maintain a fairly good average bombardment of bill-boards, boiler-plates and cartridges shaped lead pencils that proclaim "He is Fighting for US. Let U.S. Light for Him." The Congressional races are, of courses, of a lesser degree of interest when compared with the Senatorial Sweepstakes. No one appearing to say that he wanted any of their game, Harry Woodyard and Stuart Reed will race against time for the edification of the crowded grandstand in Woodward's district, Harry Oaudenb, a Parkersburg lawyer and nephew of the late Johnson N. Camden, and Stuart H. Bowman, a Huntington real estater, are to race for the empty honor of having Woodyard wallop them at the polls. Up to a few days ago, "Judge" Null was entered, but Judge Neal, late of the rather more than late Barnum Club, scratched the "Judge." If the "Judge" doesn't back next November it will be because he is not to scratch, those friends of his who claim to know what was done to him seriously assert. In Reed's district, Judge Jim Robinson and Ernst Randolph are engaged in a wangle for the opposition nomination that cannot, by the longest stretch of the imagination, be described as any brotherhood-of-man affairs. In the First, his party brethren are giving fighting. Charles Nesly has chance to get at Mansfield Nesly with no incumbrances to start with, confidently expecting the scrappy little Wheeling campaigner to deliver the well known knock-out to the mellituent M. Mansfield. Nor is any leadpipe cinch hung on Adam Littlepage this year by the Republicans in the Sixth district, who claim that they are singing close harmony this year throughout the district, in Fayette especially, the first time in many years. The only thing that can prevent Congressman George M. Bowers from going back to the House for another term, where he has served so satisfactorily, is the nomination going to W. T. George, for no Democrat who has the nomination wished on him is expected to be able to recapture the Second district. Away down in the Fifth, according to all reports received here, Hugh Ike Shott and Wella Goodykoontz are in the neck-and-neck race for the nomination which Congressman Cooper could have gotten unanimously, but turned down. All of which is just by way of showing that when our well known and greatly esteemed President asseverated to the effect that "Politics is adjourned," he wasn't thinking about West Virginia—or Michigan, Louisiana, Wisconsin and a few other out-of-the-way places. OVER THE TOP Winding Gulf Over Subscribes Her Allotment of W. S. S. In keeping with the record made in all war activities Winding Gulf went over the top in the War Savings Stamp drive to the time of $2,905. This little coal mining town was allotted $16,955 worth of W. S. S. and the amount of $19,000 worth of the securities were subscribed. The white people of this place were allotted $13,400 and subscribed $14,800; the colored people were allotted $3,200 and subscribed $4,850. This is an excellent showing and demonstrates that the people of Winding Gulf are not only tenily loyal and patriotic but that they are a thrifty lot and appreciates a good investment when one is offered. WEST VIRGINIA WOMAN REMEMBERS NEGRO SCHOOL The Curry Normal and Industrial Institute, Urbana, Ohio, has been remembered by a friend to the colored people in the way of a gift which will mean $15,000 for the school. A white lady by the name of Miss Ella Dunn in West Virginia became interested in the great work of Professor Curry several years ago through his temperance campaigns. During her life-time she the institute's toward the Institute. She died in April 1977, providing in her will the sum of $60,000 with one-half of what timetable after the legates have been paid for the Curry Institute. At a low estimate it will be $7,500 from the will and the same amount is to be raised by friends, making $15,000 for Curry. Che McBowell Times. f memeck - MATIONAL NEGRO PRES® ASSOCIATION SE.

He did not receive what he deseryed while here, but we hope is receiying in the beyond what he gave the Negro while on earth. If this Negro hating firebrand who boasted inthe United States Senate of mob participation and general outlawery had passed to the land of forgetfulness twenty-tive years ago hia state and the nation would have been far better off and this country wouid have been safer for democracy. It appears that he is about to be succeeded in the Senate by another of his kind, Cole Blease, notorious as a respecter of no Jaw, which is unfortunate for his state and the nation. The civil- ization, Christianity and humanity of the voting population of South Carolina must be ata very low ebb when they seiect such men as Tiliman and Blease to represent it in the highest, most dignitied and exalted law-making body in the world. Ben used his pitchfork here, the otber fellow is using it now. Cole is noted for his abuse of the pardoning power but when he joins his fellow outlaw in the great beyond, there will be no pardon for him. Ab hasten his pessing. Swiah. ANOTHER DASTARDLY ACT OF INHUMANITY SHOWS URGENT NEED OF DETENTION HOME IN MDOWELL COUNTY One of the most disgracetul, uncivilized, inhuman, cold-blood- ed, hard-hearted and savage-like acts that has ever been brought to the notice or attention of a pe »ple was made known Wednesday morning of this week. It was when one Jake Smith and bis wife, or woman, had come to the Eureka Coal and Coke Company at Eckman from Birmingham, Ala., with three little children, the youngest only about four months old, another two years and the third about five years of age. They had no money, said they were hungry, declared they wanted work anda place to stay. Their requests were granted together with not less than $40 to $50 given them in provision and otherwise. Tuesday night, when all nature was wrapped in slumber, with wickedness, cruelty and cowardness in their hearts, this mother and father sneskingly slips away to Parte unknown leaving the two youngest innocent babes in the house alone subject to the mercies of those in the community Deputy Sheriffs Calfe and McFarland made it known to Probation Officer M. T Whittico, who at once sought a place of protection in some private home, there being no county detention home for such unfortunates. The culprits have not been apprehended as yet but the prayefs of all good people are that they shall not long escape the clutches of the law and the barshest punishment possible. McDowell county is sadly in need of a detention home. Sign the petition for one when presented to you. Let the good people who have but a spark of love and christianity about them, awake, Srise, become aroused over such appalling conditions and provide against it with reason, common sense, pride and charity Present & petition toour County Court appealing tothem to order an election for s county detention home wherein the vct ms of inhu- man brutality may be protected from such cowardly insults and the respectability of a decent people may not be further outraged.

Entered as Second Clase Matter March 2, 19M, af the Post Odice at Keystone, W. Ve., under act of Congress, March 3, FRIDAY JULY 12, 101s (Political Adversteement.) ‘THE SOLDIER VOTE IN THE NOVEMSER ELECTION. ‘West Virginia now bas approxz'mately twe:ty-five thotirénd men in the service of the United States Governa: nt, goirg torough the training in cantonments and military camns that wili ft tnem for field work in Franve, Italy ors me othe: oneof the foreig: countries at war with Germany. The July draft will take nearly tive thousand mo-e. By the middle of October it is altogether likely that this S'ste wil hev supplied thirty thousand men for service, perhaps .iarger nu» ber even. Thoer -'ready in service and thse yet to enter are of a ‘'votirg age."" They will be accorded the p: ivilege by the Natioral Goverr- ment of voting, in the November el.ct.on, for the candidates now!- nated at the primary election August sixth In all probability the American soldier on foreign soi! will alev be afforded sa opportunity to designate his cboice for the various offices to be filled in the several states of this Union. Admitting, to save argument. that one-half of these thirty thousand soldiers from West Virginia are Republicans, (although it has been claimed by many persons throughout the State, who have kept close tab on the boys as they have gone forth, that large majority of the registrants and enlisted men are Republicans) that means purely and simply that fifteen thousand Republican voters will be in the army by the first of November, eligible to vote in the fall election. Z And now, which one of the four candidates who are contending for the R»publican nomination for Urited States senate would be the most likely to be given the solid soldier vote? Naturally, the choice of the soldiers would fall on a soldier—Major Davis E kins, a soldier with record dating back 20 years, when he volunteered upon cal! of President McKinley for service in the Spanish-Ameri can war, It is being generally conceded throughout the State that who- ever gets the Republican nomination for the senate will have as his opponent on the Democratic tick+t a man wearing the uniform of the United States Government. We all know what this means. Can any civilian, nominated by Republicans, compete with a Democratic opponent‘in uniform’ Can any civilian draw to bim- self the soldier vote that would cume as his right to Major E’kins? We ask the question in all sincerity, and we trust that the Re- publican voters of West Virginia will earnestly consider it. And in offering the suggestion we do aot attempt to disparage the fit ness of any other candidate for the high office ta which Major Elkins aspires.—Editorial from Morgantown Post of July 3, 1918 Report of the Condition of The First National Bank at Keystone, im the State of West Virginia, at the Close of Business on June 29, 1918.

White Coal Company for a celebration never before equalled in the history of this coalfield. Special trains wee run from here to their operation at Glen White from which music rang out and banners flew. Once there, one could see that arrangements had been made by Mr. White for a splendid day. Rev. J. D. Coleman opened the afternoon with a wonderful presentation of the two kinds of atruscocracy, and is to be congratulated on his grasp of the terrible situation we are now facing and his command of the English language. His talk was brief but verp instructive, inspiring, patrician and symbolic of the true spirit of fellowship and understanding that exist between Mr. White and his employees. Rev. Colemau represents that part of the colored race that is destined to rule the masses and benefit them by his guidance and uplifting spirit. A grand speech by Hon. Adam B. Littlepage was next on the program and was very much appreciated by all and brought many points that were straight from Washington, and delighted his hearers with reminiscences from his boyhood. Upon request, each and every man rose in a body to pledge themselves to help win the war by doing their bit at home. It was beitling to inform Mr. Littlepage that the average loading per day per man at both operations was 18 tons. This is not altogether due to the high coal and clean condition existing at the E. E. White Coal Company's mines but the patriotic spirit of the men as a whole. After singing "America" and "The Star Splangled", a ball game was played. Glen White won. Prayer meeting was head Wednesday night by the members of the St. John Baptist church. The foundation for the new church is complete and work will begin at once on the frame work Mrs. E. W. Kelly, of Norfolk, Va. Grand Secretary of the Daughters of the Temple, was in town Wednesday for the purpose of organizing a chapter here. A. Clark got his foot caught in the mines last week. Walter Green returned from North Carolina Wednesday. S. H. Dillard moved his family here from Wilcoe last week. Mrs. J. B. Wood is here from Glen White where she is well thought of by the company. Mrs. Mattie Lawrence is visiting her husband's people in Richmond. Sunday, June 15, was our rally day at the Central Baptist church and we raised $140. On the fifth Sunday, the Red Men had their annual sermon probed. An Auxiliary Branch of the Red Cross has been organized here, both Senior and Junior, with Mrs. H. Brown, chairman of the Senior, and Mrs. E. Calloway, chairman of the Junior. Mesdames Helen M. James and Clara Smith, of Keystone, and Elmira Young, of Eckman, were in town on business lost week, and we hope that they will come again. The Sylvia Cornet Band played at Basco the 4th and reports a good time. Mrs. Nettie Lockett, of Danville, Va., is visiting her parents, Mr. and J. Williams. The Missionary sisters are getting on nicely with Mrs. L. Maynard, President, and Mrs. E. Payne, Secretary. Mrs. H. Richardson has gone to her home in Virginia to spend the summer. H. B. Hundley was in town last week on business. Mullens, a town in Wyoming county on the Virginian at the junction of the Winding Gulf Division, also situated in the heart of some of the most productive coal interests in the state, is rapidly rebuilding itself from the destructive fire of last winter which wiped almost off the map. Where of 1 combustible frame buildings stood are now being erected fine brick buildings some of which are from 5 to 15 stories high. Much attention is being given to the erection of school houses and churches. Hon. D. Forest Early, Vice-President of Wyoming Bank, heavy owner in coal mines of Wyoming and Kaleigh counties, interested in the biggest businesses of the town outside of the bank and a strong and fearless republican, a friend to the common people, both white and colored, stands ready to accommodate his friends at any time and is an ever watchful worker and booster of his town. Hon. D. D. Moran, leading attorney-st-law, leading republican being chairman of the Republican Executive Committee of Wyoming county, is in that town and all round, whole souled, big hearted white man is there. He is a wheelhorse in the defense of Republicanism but is too busy helping out in every claim of the war to do much in politics. In fact, he might have considered entering the race for State Senator had he not been deeply engaged and interested in helping to successfully prosecute this world war. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Towns, back of the station where one can order, eat and pay for a decent meal, while the train stands, are always on hand with willing hands to accommodate the public. Our old friends, Preston and King, who run a neat restaurant, grocery store, pool room and lodging accommodation. are making good. They are to be compli- mented for the host of big friends with money in the town. When in Mullens, call for Preston and King. Mississippi Miller, of Winona, and Nora Dockery, of Northfork, have been appointed as teachers at Winding Gulf for the ensuing year. To Direct Y. M. C. A. Campaign Among Negroes Editor M. T.

Sunday and Monday, he was constantly under the care of physicians but on Tuesday he began to improve and is now out: Mrs. J. M.
