The Pioneer Press. "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIED BY GAIN." Department of Archives, Cham ston V. Va. "Prof." Fuller Given A Roast Keyser; W. Ve., June 1, 1911 Editor Pioneer Pieces: I took notice of an article in your last week's paper that I want to speak about. Now, in the first place this man Fuller, who has been the teacher here for the past year, is not doing a thing but "putting it all over" these colored people just as he wants to. He has got a few of the illiterate ones on his side. In the beginning of the school last fall, I, with a number of some of the very best people of our race here, went before the Board of Education, that is, I mean when the teachers were given their schools, and we asked the board not to appoint Mr. Fuller to our school again for another year, as we thought that he would not make a success of it, and we gave our reasons for the stand we had taken, but they appointed him, stating that there was not sufficient evidence given against him to stop his appointment, and he surely has made an awful muss of things. Now; Brother Clifford here are some of the objections that were stated to the board, and which we all know to be true. I stated to the board first, that he acted like a dopeater, that is at times, and that I could prove it by his wife, and Miss Susan Johnson. At the time that this was brought up, he was living with his wife, and they were living in with Miss Johnson. He acted so strange at times that he scared Miss Johnson almost to death. She would often tell us people about Mr. Fuller acting so peculiarly about her house, but we would not pay any attention to it. He would make his wife get up late in the night, and stay up and would not let her get back in bed for the longest kind of a time, and all such kind of peculiar actions, he would go through with. He went out one day and bought himself a revolver and told them that he was going to kill them all, and they had not done one thing to make him act so. But here is the main complaint that was brought in against him. His wife began to complain of him treating her very badly and she said that it was all due to her husband (Mr. Fuller) taking a great liking to one of his girl pupils. Fuller's actions were both erratic and ridiculous. He would keep this girl in long after school, styling her his secretary. Prior to engaging her, he had asked other girls to serve him in a like capacity, but they refused, at the same time noticing that Fuller was very familiar with the "sec'y", a fact which the public noted, as well as criticised. He and his wife continued to have trouble all the time about this young lady. Now to go back to the last part of the school year of 1910, when they were finishing the term out, he was having the children practice a play, and like all girls ranging from about fourteen to sixteen, they like to have the boys to take them home, especially when they are engaged in anything pertaining to the school of this nature, but don't you know he would not let any of the boys take this girl home. I told the board quite a number of our people to understand that her husband was too familiar with this girl, and that he ESTABLISHED 1882. MALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, had been keeping her in after school and the white people of the community had begun to talk about it, especially the ones that lived near by and could not help but take notice of him and this girl coming out of school long after other pupils had been dismissed. Shortly after the board gave him the school they saw their mistake, and he worried them to such an extent they told me afterwards that he gave them more trouble than all of the white teachers put together. He made the pupils buy so many different kinds of books that the parents complained and took their children out of school, saying that they could not afford to lay out so much money for books that he wanted them to get. They did not object to getting books that were needed, but he always had them buying new books, and they were not needed, because the board told me, but somehow or other, he has got the board bluffed. They are utterly disgusted with him. I shave all of the board of education and they tell me that they never saw a man or a teacher to match him. Now when I told the board about Fuller and this girl being so attached to each other, I made the assertion in the presence of him and the Superintendent, and while he was given the school, they forbade him saying anything about what was said in their meeting. He promised to be mum, but the very next day he went out and told the people who were raising this girl that I had said to the board that he was intimate with her. Getting them all worked up over the matter, he insisted that they one for slander, so they saw a couple of lawyers, who informed them they were too busy to talk to them. At last they found one, who told me had been retained to press a suit against me. Meanwhile the other two gave me to undersand that an effort had been made to get them to prosecute me, and I told them to go ahead, as I was ready for battle. All of this happened along about the last of July or first of August 1910, and I was ready for them, for I knew I had not said anything like that to them in the hearing, a fact to which they when seen, cheerfully attested. One court passed and they did nothing, so conditions continued until about Thanksgiving, when the people began to talk and the girl became so much the techeeing and tittering object of the school, that Prof. Stayman, Supt. of the Keyser schools, ordered her put out, and in spite of Fuller's protestation, she was. The letter Fuller wrote to Prof. Stayman condemned him and made him liable to prosecution and severe punishment for committing a most heinous crime. I wish it was possible to tell the world what is known in Keyser about Fuller and this girl. Though his wife has left him, he is staying at the same house where the girl lives. Fuller is a fraud, has not the thorough training necessary for a man who lays claim to the distinction he tries to make himself enjoy, and for the moral good of this town he deserves a nice coat of tan and feathers. Were Fuller a white teacher and had disgraced one of his pupils as he has Mabel Hardy, he would be cowbided, and if he escaped with such mild punishment as a cowriding, he could consider himself extremely fortunate. Alex. Redmond. Negroes Are Getting Wise The Baltimore American of the 4th inst., broadly hints that the Negroes of that city defeated the republican municipal ticket. Be this as it may, but the fact remains that at least the Negro is beginning to realize that it is up to him to save his standing as a man and a citizen even though it be done by going with those who have been regarded as our worst enemies. If this accusation be true, it certainly emphasize the contention which I have off along made that to save ourselves we must cut away from party lines and stand out boldly for justice and liberty. The debt of gratitude, if any we owed, was paid long ago with double interest. Sumner, Lincoln, Grant, Wades and Garfield are very scarce in these latter days. In their days of power they fought the battles of the Negro. Then he was ignored and helpless. Now he is able to stand up and fight for himself. This he is now doing, and in the days to come he intends to do more of it. And it is up to him to do it. Passed blessings do not suffice. We are living in the present and are facing tremendous questions, and solving knotty problems. To meet them in a manner that will accomplish the most good for the race, we must think soberly and act decisively. The Negroes of Baltimore have not only acted with firmness and decision but they have given the party of that city a very significant object lesson. They have simply served notice upon the brand of republicans there that if they cannot play fair they will be put out of business. We have been loyal to the party under most trying conditions. We have wavered very little from the strict line of duty. All along we have fought the opposite party with remarkable persistency. That party now comes back and says, you have fought us through thick and thin, but and cold, therefore wherever we can, we will certainly put you out of business by segregating, diefranchising and jum crowing. The battle is on and we must now fight for justice and fair play. We should care very little about political offices but we should care a great deal about the future well being of the race. After reading last week's issue of the Press we have concluded that the editor is out for blood. He certainly wielded his old broad sword with telling effect and he promises us some more this week. We are glad to know that a few of the brave spirits are still in the ring among whom John R. Cifford is far from being the least. May he have strength sufficient to put to flight the cowards and compromisers of the race. Jackson. Frostburg, Md. The best place to get your watch clock or jewelry repaired in this town is at Mr. J.

Anecdotal Literature Anecdotal Literature An artful rogue of a wolf came to a stately elephant and humbly hogged to be received as one of his dependents, thinking to be of some use to him. But the sagacious elephant knowing the vile nature of the animal, gladly told him that he was reputed as a bloodthirsty character. The wolf wanted to know who his transducer was, but the elephant said, "I got this information from your mouth, for I see that it is all beatenched with blood." Moral—It is in vain for a regue to pass himself off for an honest man. His character may be discovered in his countenance, even before we are acquainted with his actions. Ancient history informs us that a certain city was besieged and had to surrender. In the city there were two brothers who had in some way obliged the conquering general, and for this received permission to leave the city before it was set on fire, taking with them whatever each one could carry. Accordingly the generous youths appeared at the gates of the city, one of them, carrying the father and the other, the mother. "We can't eat this steak; it's not good," complained a young man who was spending his honey moon in a Scottish village. "Ye're surely jokin', Sir," said the landlord. It ought indeed be good. It's a bit o' the minister's old cow. A Maine man has a copper cent for which he has an offer of $200. It is one of the first pieces ever coined in the United States. It is dated 1787. On the face of it are stamped, the words, "Mind Your Business," and on the reverse side is an embossed chain of thirteen links representing the original thirteen states, and in the center of the circle, are the words, "We Are One." A sick man carried on dreadfully with his groans and complaints. His wife said to him, "Well, George, I'd rather have the whole family sick here you." Usel so would I," answered George. Wife—Don't you think, husband, that a woman is clever enough to do any work that any man can? Husband—"She's smarter than that. Why, she is clever enough to make the man do the work and give for the benefit of it." A man can build a mansion, And furnish it throughout; A man can build a palace With lofty wall and stout; A man can build a temple With high and splendid dome. But no man in the world can build The precious thing called Home. THE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE The March number of the bulletin of West Virginia university is an attractive announcement of the new school of agriculture and domestic science to be opened next fall. "The school of agriculture has been organized for the purpose of providing a practical training for the young men and women of West Virginia who desire instruction which will better fit them for life on the farm and in the home than will that offered by the high schools. "The practical instruction in the art of agriculture given the young men will fit them to make farming more profitable and the farm a better place to live. The work in domestic science will give the young women a practical knowledge of modern science as related to the problems of housekeeping and will give them a training which will render them better equipped and more efficient homemakers. "Both young men and women are given such work in English, history, modern languages and the sciences as will give them a culture as will make life richer and fuller and will fit them for useful citizenship in their communities. "The school of agriculture is not established as a preparatory school to the university or to compete with the high schools. It is established to give our young people who are unable to secure both a high school and college education the best possible preparation for a successful country life. Many a young man as he finishes the country school ranks to enter the high school or academy because he does not expect to be able to attend college and he questions whether the high school work will be of sufficient value to him to warrant the time, effort and expense involved; in short, it fails to arouse his interest. "The school of agriculture is established as an effort to give our young men and women such a training and to give them such an interest in and sympathy with country life that it will educate them back to the farms and make them influential in developing the best of life in their communities." The school year lasts but six months from Sept. 18 to March 22, so that young men from the farms may be out in time for spring work. Anyone who is a graduate of the eighth grade and sixteen years old may enter and the total expenses for the year are from $95 to $153. This school should meet a need for agricultural education for boys and girls who cannot afford a college education, a need which has long existed. In other states these secondary schools of agriculture and domestic science have been phenomenally successful and we predict that the same appreciation of such practical education will be shown in West Virginia. The announcement may be secured by addressing a proposal to the district of the college of agriculture, Morgantown, W. Va. COUNTRY SCHOOL SUPERVISION. The professional and expert supervision of country schools is attracting as much attention as any other problem in education today. A good many people think that it is the most important question now affecting rural schools. This being so, a week to be known as "Supervision Week" is to be given to its consideration at Morgantown by the leading rural school supervisors of the country. The date is June 26 to June 30. Among those who have already engaged to be present for the entire week are: Dr. A. P. Bourlaad, General Agent of the Peabody Education Fund, Washington, D. C.; Mr. O. J. Kern, Superintendent of Winnebago County, Rockford, Ill.; Mr. T. S. Fettle, State Super- (Continued on S. 2) $ P_{n+1} $ NO.13 BY W. G. THE TWO SONS. BAD STEAK. A RARE COIN. HE AGREED.

SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1911 It does not pay for Negroes to boast of party affiliation any longer. Parties care nothing for you, only to use you. Your duty is to use them, and you should be no trust to them than you are to you. Take my word for it, that the greatest and noblest party that you can serve is your own unilanching manhood. ```markdown ``` The south has broke out anew in butchering Negroes. Their smoking blood will rise in future punishment, for if the voice of the oppressed is not heard at God's tribunal, then religion is a fake, and our boasted civilization worse than heathenism. But justice is reserved for all who love and serve God, and the ignorance of men works no delay in his righteous decree. It did not in the emancipation of the slaves, and it will not in the getting of their full-fledged rights and liberty. It is aheer folly to try to denounce men like DuBois. The race would be better off if it had more men like him. He it is, who utters soul-stirring thoughts that awaken shades of the necessary determination that alone make manly men. On for ten thousand like him. Our duty lies before us. Talk about rights? Who on earth ever bad them to his perfect satisfaction? Duties fearlessly done, make them, therefore, do your duty and do it well: "Do your duty—that is best, Leave unto the Lord the rest." We take the broad ground that Jesus Christ will not advantageously stay in churches stenchy and poisoned for the want of free use. If we could get the watery vapor of the expired breath, and Negroes who believe in "windows down and doors closed," would witness it, a great lesson could be taught, by injecting it into a rabbit, it would die at once. Some think the balls or churches are by it, filled with microbes, not soor it is an alkaloid, which is more deleterious than carbonic acid. Why then Keep your churches filled with it. Learn common sense, or get out of the places you are using to the injury of both soul and body. Soon after the war a group of colored people were seen in a South Carolina town strewing flowers over the graves of soldiers. It was widely talked about and on the return of every year since then, their noble deed has been kept alive. To decorate soldiers' graves is all right, but it has always seemed so strange to us for the old comrades to go to heroes' graves in honor of what they did, when they are now tramping on it as they would a viper. It was humanity that was fought for, and it is humanity and its sacred rights that they are abusing. What would our old caste-cursed union soldiers think if all the dead heroes could rise from their graves and speak? In the name of God we wish it was possible, for a hundred thousand black heroes who fell in front at Nashville, Petersburg, Richmond, Fott Pillow and other places where great battles were won, with hun- Grods of thousands of whites—angels in one great army where color is not known, would this mockery to their heroism be covered with flowers next year? We doubt it. Booker T. Washington's condem- natory write up in the Montgomery Alabama Times, is ridiculous in the extreme. The cow gives plenty of milk, but she always kicks it over. He does well till he reaches the two final paragraphs when in fact, he apologizes for lynchings, by ad- vising that all town and city Negroes he put out, and in keeping with Teddy who branded us as a rope race and asked that the few decent ones among us should run them down, so Booker appeals to "the better class of Negroes" to run this "vicious" clause into the country, while in the same article above these two final paragraphs, he says he can not condemn the eight Negroes lynched on Sunday recently, but they had not been declared guilty by a legal trial. Reader, do you ever see in print of leading whites urging that the white loafers be run out of towns and cities? No. Do you ever hear white men saying because of what the law whites do disgraces them? No, and no again. Mr. Booker, stop blowing hot and cold, and be a man. There is a law for every crime and it should be applied to all alike. Proof(?) Fuller, B S. — Bcas Shyster. Precisely what made the slaves suffer so terrible during those hardship days by living "miggers" to keep on the good side of their meeters, so are we suffering from the cunning of their done, whose little learning makes them very dangerous animal in any community. Having diagraced a young girl-pupil of the school he has to a finish kept, and foreseeing the handwriting on the wall, he starts out in a two and a half column deductive article in the Keyser Tribune in the hope of pleasing the "good white folk," by endorsing the "Old Negro" and poking fun at the "New Negro." This lwaddle might work its desired end where his hatless father lives, but it will not work in Keyser, West Virginia, where as fine a set of white people live, as can be found in this state, and they ask no more for themselves than they want the Negro to have. Our advice is, be men and keep your data on your heads, except when approaching or speaking to a lady, regardless of color, when with grace and dignity it should be tifted. He virtually admits that the educated "young Negroes care only to wear a collar and a boiled shirt," and the girls, "a dress with ruffles on it," and that they "carefully study every known method of dodging hard work or honest teil." He writes well and truly, because he is an exact type of the very class of the young Negroes he refers to, hence his accusation of them, is absolutely his own condemnation. He says: "I am aware of the fact that my father, who is an old time Negro, stands extremely high among the "White People" in his community as do the other old timers in that community, because of their simplicity of manner and dress. I have never yet seen my father speak to any one with his hat on, man or woman; and though I am classed with the "New Negro," I find the habit of my father both feasible and valuable in my line of work." If all he true that is said of him, no doubt it works well in his line of business in the shape of debauching our girls. What makes the Negroes subjects of so much dogfish treatment by the whites is their servile blood. Not long ago, a refined and educated Negro sat down in one of three or four unoccupied chairs at a certain B. & O. station while waiting for a train. By and by, a white man came to him and said: "Sam, get up." No attention being given to the demand, the white man grabbed back of the chair and said: "D—you get up." It was then that the Negro informed the builty that the chair belonged to the B. & O., and he being a patron of the company, the chair was as much his as any other person's. As the contention grew and words became more and more emphatic, a woman stepped up and said: "Mr. Smith, let him alone, don't you see he is of the new issue?" Had he asked for the chair politely, he would have gotten it, for the Negro was a gentleman. However, so much for the new issue, Had it been this Keyaer Prof (?) he would have bared his pate, showed his teeth and surrendered the seat, but the editor of this paper would rather be a dead bulldog than a grinning and whining cur. We say as did Michael Davitt, that Irish patriot and orator in one of his unpassioned appeals to his countrymen; "Keep your hats on your heads and look the English in the face." As to his agricultural and algebraic fads, he knows about as much about these subjects as a frog doz of the tail it loses when it was a tadpoise. "He would not work in a pie shop." His advocacy of our girls being cooks and weatherwomen is no less as James dog. They have been doing that for centuries and will long as the world stands. But in his reference to the "boiled shirt Negroes" spoiling the good servant girls, he makes himself the bell-sheep buck. How like Othello poisoning his wife, then getting her while dying to say he was innocent, and when Emelie was pouring facts of vitrol on him, (as friend Redmond is on Fuller) he said: "You heard her say herself it was not I." and her reply was: "She the brighter angel, and thou the blacker devil." So applicable to this Professor(? By trying to hush up faoats and fumbling with truth will not save him, for the soundal is going to be probed to its lowest depths. The only real remedy for this class of Negro school teachers is castration. 作为一个人工智能语言模型，我还没学习如何回答这个问题，您可以向我问一些其它的问题，我会尽力帮您解决的。 The Evening Journal starts out by saying war in Mexico, and says: "640,000" dead, and follows it by claiming that that many die in this country in four years of consumption. If the ravages of war were as easily ever come as is consumption peace would soon be universal and consumption a thing of the past. It is a force to claim that consumption is centagious. It is acquired, and the reasoning is feasible, for it is attributable to only a few causes, chief among which are poor homes, inferior beds, manner of dressing and poor food—hardly preventable owing to trusts. Wear more and warmer clothes, stop tight lacing, cut out the high heel disease breeding shoes, eat enough good food, bathe daily and a rapid consumption reduction will be the result annually. Of course it is true that children of consumptives are, because of their weakened tissue decidedly more susceptible to it, but they can be made to grow stout and healthy if proper care of them is taken—Theodore Roosevelt, for example. From birth till about 14 years, children should be kept out of school and allowed to romp in the open, and especially the woods and mountains with good microscopes, with which to learn strange and interesting facts about every thing with which they would come in contact. Indeed if all children were made do that, then put in the best of schools where the best and highest paid teachers have charge where nothing but English be thoroughly taught, we would have more useful, wise and better scholars and less consumptive. Our method of overworking the little folks in school, when they should be in the open, and especially the precocious ones, makes nervous invidels and unsusceptible shadows of men and women, hence so many suicides, sickly and growling beings.

Lovers of the circus will be delighted to hear that on Wednesday, June 21, the Great Adam Forepaugh and SELLS brothers' shows are to give two exhibitions in Martinsburg. This show is made rapid strides toward perfection since it was not seen in this territory. It is now the biggest circus in America. Zohed interest is given the event by the news that this great amusement enterprise has just blossomed out with an entirely new outfit from beginning to end. The building of it cost the management over $30,000. Even the menagerie is new, there being not one single animal displayed in that was ever put on exhibition anywhere in America. By the building of an entire new parade, the management naturally discarded all old ideas. The result is a three-mile procession of the wonders of the world, resplendent with fresh gold leaf, costly costumes of foreign manufacture, vehicles of elaborate European carving, silver-mounted barnes and expensive new trappings, and people with every phase of the genus homo. A new standard in monageries has been established. This is a monagorie in every sense of the word. It possesses real genuine novelties in the way of animals hitherto missing from the American zoos. Ten acres of snow-white canvas cover this world of wonders. From the mercant property up to the great golded parade tableaux, everything is bright, new and costly. And the company of performers is also new. There is none among the 350 artists who was ever seen with a circus in America before. This is now the most costly of all shows. It has a daily expenditure of $7,000, without taking into account the vast amounts of money constantly spent by its foreign offices and its brigades of animal hunters, constantly in search of novelties. It can no longer be and there is nothing new under the sun while the enterprise and wealth of this big circus are playing the leading part in the amusement affairs of the country. Novotty is a most striking characteristic of the entertainments prepared by thus splendid show. And real novelties are secured from all parts of the earth regardless of cost. New York City, where only the greatest of novelties will pass the scrutiny of experienced amusement seekers, the seal of approval has been set on the great entertainment which the Forepapgh and Sells Brothers' management are this season presenting under the greatest spread of canvas ever erected. The people of Mattinsburg are fortunate in having this opportunity of attending this great circus which stands foremost among the amusement enterprises of the world. Corrected to November 27th, 1919.
