"HERE S ESTABLISHED 1882 A Man And A Real Snob To many red-blooded Americans the Fourth of July is a endearing, because it chiefly reminds us then the downfall of "the white man's hope" at Reno in 1910 James J. Jeffries, who continuously protests that he would do nothing that a "Jeffries" would be ashamed of, was battered into temporary imbecility by a big black man, who was one of the chief attractions at the late coronation of King George. All this might be forgotten if it were not for the reappearance of Jeffries from time to time to chatter foolishly and loudly about his former prowess, Jeffries is now a bar keeper in San Francieco, and holds court across the brass rail, receiving many sport-struck pilgrims who wish to indulge in bathos over the pristine pugilistic glory of the boilermaker barkeep. Some few days ago Jeffries told with pride about how he had snubbed Jack Johnson in London. To hear him talk, one would think that the dusky champion was frightened to death at the eight of his unlucky competitor. Jeffries said: "The night I seen the big smoke was at Romano's in London. You ought to have been there. The smoke comes in with his gold teeth all shining. All blacks are white to them English, and right away we heard from all sides. "There's Jack—bully old boy.' Somebody told the smoke that I was present, or else he saw me, and he came walking right over to the table where Walter Kelly, the "Virginia Judge" and me were sitting. Just before he got there I turned my back. The smoke knew just what I meant and didn't laugh—He beat it." Johnson behaved with extreme courtesy. He showed no anger, but talked to the other men at Jeffries table and then resumed his seat. He meant to do what any decent "sporting gent" would have done—wished to show his good feeling and amiable disposition—that was all. Having fought Johnson, Jeffries was on no higher social level than the black man, whose conduct was as gentlemanly as that of Jeffries was churlish. But there is no dearth of "mean white men."—Richmond, (Va.,) Times Dispatch. FACTS FOR SWIMMERS AND LANDLUBBERS. In an article on swimming in the August. Woman's Home Companion, the author records a great deal of information that is just as interesting to landlubbers as it is helpful to young swimmers. Following is a brief extract: "It may surprise some new swimmers to know that one can both see and bear under the water. Seeing is not difficult when once you have the idea firmly planted in your mind that water will not hurt your eyes. Particularly is this true of sea water, the salt in which is soothing, rather than irritating. But never open your eyes to see under water before you are under water: never dive with the eyes open, or go from the surface to underneath, or vice versa, with the eyes open. The water at its surface ```markdown ``` MALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W three limbs, to dispense with either arm or either leg. You may need no arm to bring ashore some one who needs help, you may have a cramp some time and have to do without one of your "propellors." The trick is easy, it is merely more awesome to not much harder than to swim with all. "As the very strongest man in the world is a weakling in the grasp of a good sized comber, such waves must be outwitted, not outwrestled. And to be at home in the breakers, even beyond your depth, it is only necessary to know what a wave really is and where it is weak. Many people believe their eyes, and are sure that a wave travels. The water moves up and down, and the motion comes forward, but the water doesn't travel. Consequently if you get beyond the breakers, the waves will go up and down and carry you with them, but won't sweep you forward. "Near the shore the waves behave differently; they curl over and break, and there the water, as well as the motion, travels. And, if you are just at the curling point, the water will pick you up and sweep you in, and you can literally 'ride the waves, than which there is no finer sport in the sea. But woe unto you if you get a bit ahead of the curling wave front, for then you will be turned over and twisted around and flung to the bottom. "Hence, it is wise to experiment with little waves first and learn just where they actually commence to exert a forward movement on your body before testing your swimming powers in the surf." AN ADVANCED STEP In deciding to provide issue, free of charge, typhoid fever vaccine, the South Carolina Board of Health has taken an advanced step and one that ought to go far towards minimizing the occurrence of the disease in that Commonwealth. The Palmetto State is the second in the Union to make such a move, and there are apparently many and good reasons why all the others should follow suit. The vaccine has been thoroughly tested and its value appears to have been as definitely determined as that used as a preventive of smallpox. Both in the American and European armies it has been used on a large scale and with uniformly excellent results. Its administration is without danger and comparatively without discomfort. General use of a preventive which has been demonstrated to be both sure and safe may be confidently counted on to render any community immune against an epidemic of typhoid. The one thing needed is to place the vaccine, which is comparatively costly as yet, within easy reach of the masses of the people. This the public health authorities can and ought to do by furnishing it free of charge to all who are not able to purchase the serum. FALLS VICTIM TO THIEVES S. W. Bends, of Coal City, Ala. has a justifiable grievance. Two thieves stole his health for twelve years. They were a liver and kidney trouble. Then Dr. King's New Lite Pills throttled them. He's well now. Unrivaled for Constipation, Malaria, Hepatitis. GOVERNORS OF ALKADANNA AND GOVERNORS OF TELL OF THE LEWIS OF PRODUCTION LAWNS 1930 Hon. Emmett O'Neal. Among the governors of states, Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin, of Connecticut; Gov. Emmett O'Neal, of Alabama, Gov. Philstead, of Maine, and Gov. Colquitt, of Texas, have gone on record as unclearly opposed to prohibition. "I am not a believer in crowding total abstinence down everybody's throat," says Gov. Baldwin. "Prohibition, in my view, should be a matter of local option. I have always voted for license in New Haven." Gov. Emmett O'Neal, of Alabama, was elected on a local option issue and as a result of his activity against the passage of a statewide prohibitory law. Gov. O'Neal's initial message to the legislature denounced prohibition, which the people had refused to incorporate into their constitution, and M. R. H. Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin. secured from the legislature a new enactment permitting any county to vote the saloon or dispensary in or out. Gov. Plaistead, of Maine, leads the resubstitution of his state. After fifty years trial of prohibitory laws Plaistead's urging, in all probability, will again submit the question of prohibition to the voters. Gov. Colquitt, of Texas, has been fighting desperately on the stump for the defeat of the prohibitory amendment to the constitution of his state. He has suffered at the hands of the prohibitionists for his determined stand against statewide prohibition and was requested to resign from the Methodist church because of his views on prohibition. METHODIST MINISTERS HURL EPITHETS AT GOVERNOR. Galveston, Tex.—An example of the intemperance shown in speech by some of the advocates of statewide prohibition in Texas is illustrated by the attacks made at the recent Methodist church conference in Marlin, Gov. Colquitt and Senator Joe Bailey of Texas were ranked by ministers with "toughs, liquor trust raoon men, disorderly house keepers and professional politicians." These epithets were embodied in resolutions which were adopted by the conference. Under the regulated control of saloons in Paltimore, Md., seven hundred and fifty disreputable saloons have been wiped out in four years, and the city's revenue from those that remain has been increased to more than a million dollars a year. "WETS" FIND "DRYS" ARE VOTING ILLEGALLY Bloomington, Ind.—A charge against the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana that students at a Bloomington university were voted illegally by the league in a recent local option election has brought forward a declaration from prominent Anti-Saloon League attorneys that Indiana has no law by which persons may be held for illegal voting at option elections. The "wets" are demanding a further investigation and declare that 28 students voted illegally. Attorney General Thomas S. Homan is of the opinion that illegal voting at an option election is as much against the law as at a general election. A correspondent to the Chicago, Ill., Tribune believes that Chicago people should cut down their per capita consumption of beer in order to pay the high tariff on wool. He says, "If the people of Chicago could afford to spend $23,372,000 in May for beer, the cost of wool, being but $218,750, certainly can not be burdensome." The question naturally suggests itself, "Who wants to drink wool?" The worst enemy of temperance is its interperate advocate, who, to prove his devotion, denounces all his enemies, for whatever reasons, as puppets of the liquor interests.—Indianapolis Sun. CURE FOR TUBEZECULOSIS The announcement is made from London, England, of a strange new cure for consumption claimed by a former collier of the name of Bryant, who worked in the coal pits at Bradford. Bryant was attacked by consumption while at work in the mine. He started the breeding of maggots and there was an immediate and continued improvement in his health, which led him to suppose that the gas of the putrified meat upon which he bred the maggots was the cause. Bryant's youngest daughter, also a consumptive, became a robust girl, having gained seventeen pounds in two months. Bryant now has thirty patients breathing the gas from the putrified meat with results (that are said to be excellent. A gentleman of the district has given the local council $50,000 to erect a building for a test of the curs on a big scale. Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. ROSE FROM OBSCURITY TO FAMES It is a fact, though not generally known, that some men who have been governors of States of the Union were once waits—foundlings. Some fifty years ago two little boys of eight and nine years of age dug their toes in the sand on the shores of Randall's Island, and watched the river boats pass, and planned what they would do when they should be men. Both had been picked up homeless on the streets of New York and committed to the city's institution for children then on Randall's Island. One had been fenced in Chatham Street square by President Roosevelt's father. In 1859 The Children's Aid Society took them on a long journey to separate farms in Indiana. Each worked his way through school and college. One, Andrew H. Burke was elected governor of the State of Dakota in 1890. The other, John T. Brady, was appointed governor of Alaska by President McKinley. THE SETTLEMENT OF OREGON. In 1842 a bill was passed by Congress, offering 640 acres of land to every family that would emigrate to Oregon. Ohio was still new, yet the cry went forth. The rush began and civilization started not for the new Ohio, or the Mississippi Valley, but for Oregon, and in 1843 Marcus Whitman piloted the first wagon train through to the Columbia River. THE MINISTERS AND CHICKENS. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, is given credit for the following story, told on his return after a visit to a Methodist convention at St. Joseph. According to Senator Gore, there was an accomplished home with a brood of chickens—five roosters and five pullets. The chicks matured and went their various ways, while the mother hen herself busied herself with a new brood. In course of time Methodist ministers came into the vicinity of Chickenville to hold a conference, and, as might be expected, the five young roosters, fat, and yellow-legged and extremely tender, were feasted upon by said preschers. The young pullets, left behind, were met by the mother hen, a few days later. "My children," she asked, where are your brothers?" "They have all entered the ministry." they replied. "Well my dears" she resignedly replied. "Perhaps it is all for the better, they would not have made very good LAY members, anyway. XANTIPPE AND SOCRATES. Xantippe was a scolding wife. Who led her spouse a wretched life; And wicked as a devil's daughter, Poured on his head a pail of water; But he, as patient as a saint. Endured it all without complaint. And as the stream flowed down his head, In meek submission, he merely said— AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE MORAL, RELIGIOUS AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN ITY.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1911 Our neighbors—the Wheeling Intelligencer, and the Wheeling Daily Register, have gotten twisted up in their political ball game—and the lie is being hurled across the diamond vigorously. There isn't a better man, a better lawyer, a better judge, or better timber in the state for any position he wants than the Hon. Nathan Goff, Jr., of Clarksburg. Trot him out and he will be overwhelmingly voted into any place he might want to reach. There is a certain very dark dignitary here who boasts that he has never washed himself since it was done by his mother. We'll go a step further and say, if the son is a facsimile of the mother, the probability is, he was never washed. It seems to us that our soap house could make good use of him and his greasy rags. With Jim Vardaman and Hoke Smith in the United States Senate, that body will be occupied by two men who are a menace to the welfare of the whole country. This is so because they are constantly attempting to spread coercion, intimidation, murder and hatred wherever they happen to go, or be. Let them do their worst though, because all such creatures as they, are doomed to eternal oblivion unless they change their ways. So far, it looks as if the Hon. William Lorimer is going to retain his seat in the United States Senate. Our conclusion has been reached on account of the utter incapacity of the prosecution to yet present tangible evidence that Mr. Lorimer did spend money other than legitimately to secure his election to the Senate. Of course, witnesses have been on the stand and sworn to all sorts of things about the Senator, but after a careful scrutiny, their stories generally simmer down to the fact that those who are opposing Lorimer, don't like him, and are using this opportunity to "get even," and cry "fraud." Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, has the right sort of stuff in him, and if any of the Southern fire eaters or "yellow journals" think they can scare him, they are vastly mistaken, because, like the man from Missouri, Heyburn has to be shown before he sees. In these times when corruption and vacillation are holding such undisputed sway in this country, and men are subverting their manhood that they may be popular, it is very gratifying to find here and there an individual like Senator Heyburn who has both the stamina and the true manhood to take up the cudgel for right and against wrong. Such men as Mr. Heyburn are a real asset to any nation, and it is a lamentable pity that there are not more like him. What a curse to cultivate, and see grow, is lynching. Just think of it a moment. And in a country whose million church spires deck the sky, and whose constitution vouches to every man the sacred right of trial by a jury. Yet, all we have named above are disregarded, and all classes follow resort to murder, not for the protection of society, but for the satisfaction of their beastly natures soaked with "moonshine rot-gut." And it is not as bad, though murder it be, as for the church people, state and especially the national law makers to condone it. Can't the trend of it be seen? and what will the end be? Foreigners are pupils in this school of human butchery, and in the past week a few have gotten diplomas—one Chinaman was lynched by other Chinamen in the South, and in West Virginia this week, a horde of drunken Italians with ropes ran one of their kin for twenty-five miles and would have lynched him, had not official and prevented. Unless the lynchers are weeded out, this will be one of the worst countries on God's earth, while on the other hand, it could and should be one of the best, and could be so made by obeying the laws of God and man. Howard University. Much credit is reflected upon the Teachers' College of Howard University through prompt appointment of many of its graduates of the class of 1911. The following graduates are already located in addition to other appointments which are pending. Misses. Mary F. Clifford, A. B., Ellen Morris, A. B., Georgia F. Smily and Florence Payne will teach in Camden, N. J., Miss Mary I. Rous in Ohio, Miss Clifford C. Robertson, A. B., in the Academy of Howard University, Miss Helen R. Monday, A. B., in Atlantic City, N. J., Miss Ella E. Albert, A. B., in Covington, Ky. Congratulations to Dr. Lewis B-Moore, Dean of the Teachers' College, and his graduates. Dr. Moore follows his students and graduates with a manifest interest. He is a manly man, scholarly, a master historian, a polished orator, rich in biblical literature and classical in a high degree. His peer in Howard will only be found in the person of Dr. Pezavia O'Connell, one of the finest and best educated men in the country. "Negro" Eh? "Editor Pioneer Press, (negro) Martinsburg, West Va." The foregoing is the address coming from "The White House," "Negro" was written with a small n. Why don't the "White House officials address other editors—say the Irish World, the Staats Zeitung, et al., Dutchman, Irishman, &c.? The answer is they know better, and this "negro" will put their think tanks to work. All the use made of the message was to make it a base to write on—didn't read it, and don't intend to. This "negro" don't own Mr. Taft as his president and never will, from the fact he does not own him, nor his race as American citizens, and because of the violation of his oath so to do he has no respect for him. and the only Negroes who do, are of the type that played with the murdering and selling master class before the war, and thereby made it hard on all the Negroes who craved freedom. Further, if he is nominated, he will not be elected—he can't be. The Negroes will remember Brownsville, his North Carolina, Kentucky and New Hampshire speeches, and the 300,000 old soldiers and hundreds of thousands of their loyal sons will knife him, for getting $342 a day—made possible by their valor in a five years blood war to save this Union, and when a dollar a day bill passed the House, and a Republican Senate voted it down, before the vote and after it Mr. Taft opened not his mouth. And the "negro" and his race will remember him for allowing our people to be disfranchised, jim crowed, lynchbed, shot down like dogs and putting all the Negro officeholders out of office in the South and his silent endorsement of that Texas wholesale butchery. Last week we were happy over the apparent return to health of Robert Cole, the comedian and playwright. This week we mourn his sad death, a detailed account of which is given in the following distressing telegraph dispense: Caskill, New York—Robert Cole, of the colored theatrical team of Cole and Johnson, author of "The Girl with the Driamy Eyes" and a number of popular songs, as well as the principal owner of the Sambo Show Girls, was drowned here Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Cole came here Saturday night to visit his mother. He appeared then in excellent spirits, but Wednesday he seemed gloomy, and the same afternoon, with a couple of the boarders, started for a walk to Catskill Creek, near the concrete bridge. Without removing his clothing he walked into the water and started swimming. The water was not deep, and his powerful strokes were watched by the bystanders (with admiration). After swimming a few minutes Cole allowed himself to sink. The bystanders, not thinking he was in any danger, made no effort to assist him until the fact dawned on them too late that the man was drowning. The body was removed from the water shortly afterward, but life was extinct. Cole was forty three years of age and unmarried. His New York home was at No. 102 West 136.b street. LIFE SAVED AT DEATH'S DOOR. "I never felt so near my grave," writes W. R. Patterson, of Wellington, Tex., as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite of doctor's treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King's New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 187 pounds and have been well and strong for years."
