ESTABLISHED 1882 JOHN BROWN PAID THE PENALTY 57 YEARS AGO TODAY FAMOUS ADOLITION LEADER EXECUTED AT CHARLES TOWN DECEMBER 15, 1859. HID FORMERLY RENTED A FARM IN MARYLAND AND ASSUMED FICTITIOUS NAME. FORMER MARTINSBURG ATTORNEY APPOINTED TO ASSIST IN PROSECUTION. Fifty-seven years ago today John Brown, the famous abolition leader of Owatotoe, Fannies, was hung at Charles Town. As history readers, we know that a report from Harriets Ferry on October 17, 1879, sent a thrill of terror through Virginia and astounded the whole nation. A few monies previous to this, John Brown and his two sons, Oliver and Watson, having assumed the name of Anderson, leased a farm, in Maryland a few miles from Harriets Ferry, the site of the United States army. Arms and ammunition were received at the turn and a short twenty-two associates were whiten and five colored was collected. The Town Attacked At 10 o'clock on the evening of October 16, 1879, William Williamsen, a guard on the bridge spanning the Potomac river at Harpers Ferry, was seized and held as prisoner. The guard thus removed Brown and his men quietly took possession of the armory buildings in which were stored a large quantity of arms and munition, and either a number of women in the attire they took in these and other At another point, a person gems were sent to the battlefield and on military outposts began to arrive. The first to reach the scene was from the arsenal. The next to arrive were two companies from this city and the arsenal was stormed and a desultory discharge of guns kept up until nightfall, when five persons had been killed by the fire of the insurgents, while three of their number lay dead within the or- senal. U. S. Troops Arrive Late on the evening of the 17th, messengers bore dispatches beyond the damage to the wires, which Brown had taken the precaution to have cut, and transmitted them to Baltimore, Washington. Richmond and other places, at all of which the telegrams produced the wildest excitement. Colonel Robert E. Lee—afterward General Lee—with 100 United States marines, was dispatched from Washington to the scene of action. Upon his arrival he sent Lieutenant J. E. B. Stewart to demand an immediate surrender. With this demand the insurgents refused to comply and an attack was at once made upon the building, which resulted in the capture of Brown and several of his followers, all of whom were forced to surrender at the point of the bayonet. Drown was so severely wounded that it was thought he could not live, but he grew better after receiving medical aid. An indictment for treason and murder was found against him, and his trial began at Charles Town on October 26. Governor Henry Wise of Virginia appointed Andrew Hunter, of Charles Town who was born in this city in 1804 and died in 1888, to assist Charles W. Harding in the prosecution and better Parker named George Lawson Botta, appointed force, Brown demned and executed December 10, 1859. Six of his companions so executed three well remember it as well as the many stirring events occurring shortly afterward. At Harpers Ferry a simple tablet reminds the people of the occurrence. CHRISTMAS BUYERS ARE BUSY TODAY Through all the Streets and Stores in Quest of Bargains—Six More Shopping Days. With Christmas only eight days off, stores of shoppers crowded the stores and streets today, doing their Christmas shopping. It was difficult for persons to elbow their way through some of Martinsburg's busy stores, customers standing three and four deep at some places, where especially attractive holiday bargains were displayed. Some of the stores are said to be doing a record-breaking business this season, the crowds being unprecedented in size. The postoffice is beginning to feel the Christmas rush, and is making preparations to efficiently handle the holiday business. A booth for the sale of Red Cross goods has also been erected in the corridor. The present volume of business in this will be the busiest year in the history of the postoffice. The volume of foreign business is more this year than ever before, attributed to the present high that workers have to accumulate larger accounts than usual, and the advantages of exchange. Practically all the business is with the allied powers especially Italy. Russia and Greece. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 16 — William J. Bryan, here yesterday on his way to Miami, Fla., stated that he had sent this message to the British Premier: "As a friend of the nations at war is a Christian and a lover of humanity, I respectfully but most earnestly appeal to you to use your great influence to secure your government's consent to negotiations. "There is no dispute that must necessarily be settled by force. All inter national disputes are capable of adjustment by powerful means." Every guarantee that can possibly be secured by war can be stated as a condition precedent to peace. "Do not, I pray you, by refusing an exchange of views, assume responsibility for a continuation of the unspeakable horrors of this unparalleled conflict. Your decision may mean life or death to millions." MANY AMERICANS ARE UNDER ARREST Charged With Violating the Neutrality Laws and Aiding Revolutionary Actions.

FAIRMONT CHARTER WAS ARGUED HERE IN CIRCUIT COURT CERTAIN FAIRMONT CITIZENS WANT TO BE MADE DEFEND- ANTS IN SUIT. PROCEEDINGS WERE INSTITULD BY THOMAS HAYMOND, KEN TUCKY CITIZEN. WHO ALLEGES THE NEW CHAP- TER DEPRIVES HIM OF HIS CON- STITUTIONAL RIGHTS. The Falfount charter case came up today for argument in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals before Judges Pritchard and Wood, of that court, and Judge A. G. Dayton, of the United States District Court. This case was to have been argued here a few weeks ago and Judges Pritchard and Wood came here to hear the arguments, but as Judge Dayton had not been notified it was postponed until today. The case came up on motion of certain Fairmont people to be made parties of the defendant in the injunction not in effect, issued by the court which restrains the City Board of Affairs of Fairmont from proceeding with a special city election, made necessary under a second new city charter passed by the state legislature at its last regular session. At the time of the passing of their charter suits were brought by various Fairmont citizens in state and federal courts to protect their rights. One of these cases was that of Reuben Anderson brought in the state courts. This case was brought through the state tribunal and finally disposed of. The case now pending was brought by Thomas S. Haymond against the city Board of Affairs. He alleged that the proposed new charter would deprive him of certain constitutional rights. As a citizen of another state, he at the time residing in Kentucky, but being a property owner in Fairmont, he alleged in his suit he was deprived under the proposed new charter of certain rights. An injunction was issued by the United States Circuit Court, in which his action was brought restraining the offender of Affairs from proceeding with the new election. The Republican City Executive committee, composed of Frank R. Amosy, A. S. Fleming, L. M. Davis, M. E. Moegan, by their attorneys, W. S. Merelith, Harry Shaw and A. S. Fleming are now seeking to be made parties of the defendant in the suit and it comes up at the session of the court here today for hearing. The Fairmont Republicans are also asking that the injunction be dissolved and the election ordered to be initiated. For the Board of Affairs Attorneys W. R. Haggerty and Albert J. Kern, of Fairmont, and John A. Howard and A. S. Howard, of Wheeling, appeared, and for the defendant parties Attorney A. S. Fleming, of Fairmont. Judges Pritchard and Wood arrived on train No. 15 and this afternoon went to the court room, where the arguments were begun. United States Marshal C. E. Smith and A. T. Carrett, of Parkersburg, were the officials here attending the term. Holding that it had no right to review the manner in which laws are made by the legislature, the supreme court has refused a writ of mandamus to Senator Fred L. Fox, the Democratic leader. Fox is Denied Writ NO. 41. HORTICULTURE AT FARMERS' WEEK One Day Has Been Set Aside for the Fruit Men at the Univer- Some who are interested in the horticulture will find plenty of things worth while provided for them at the Farmers' Week held at Morgantown, January first to sixth. Although there will be something doing for the fruit farmer each day of the week Wednesday has been set aside as Horticultural Day and the principal activities of this day will be devoted to fruit growing and related phases of the work. The State Horticultural Society meets at Morgentown during the week and the program for Wednesday is under the auspices of this society. The first thing on the program for Wetland day is a lecture by Professor W. H. Aldermann, West Virginia University, on the subject "Will It Have a Fruit Grower to Use Commercial Fertilizers?" This lecture is followed by the annual address by D. A. Arnold, president of the State Horizontal Society. H. W. Selby, president of the Association of Vegetable Growers of America, talks at 10 o'clock on "Feeding the Multitude." This address is followed by a report from Secretary C. O. Pierce, a report from Treasurer C. W. Boyer, reports of committees and a lecture by Professor W. E. Rurnsey on "Dusting Versus Spraying." At H. o'clock C. G. Woodbury, professor of Horticulture, Purdue University, will talk on "What Does It Cost a Grower to Produce His Fruit." The 2 o'clock period in the afternoon of Wednesday is given over to an address, "Selling Direct to the Consumer," by C. P. Waugh, of Wellsburg, W. Va., and to another, "Future of Cooperation Among West Virginia Fruit Growers," by J. C. McKowa, Paw Paw. At 2 o'clock Mr. S. H. Fulton, of Sleepy Creek, talks on "A Uniform Packing Law for West Virginia." Later, H. V. Selby talks on the support "Finding a Market," and in the evening Professor Woodbury gives an address on "Farm Orchard Management." Aside from these activities in agriculture for Wednesday there are numerous other talks, lectures, ad dresses and things of interest to be West Virginia fruit grower given throughout the week. Such subjects as spraying, packing fruits, the home garden, fertilizers, for small fruits, thinning of fruits etc will be taught by capable and experienced man. One of the features of the year will be the state fruit exhibit to be held in the University armory. This exhibit carefully studied should be an education within itself to one interested in fruits. There will be various exhibits, demonstrations, and related activities of special interest, to the fruit growers of the state. Farmers Week' comes but once a year and is of such importance that up-to-date farmers can scarce afford to miss the lessons there to be learned, the experience to be acquired, and the associations to be made.

To every reader of this paper, the happiest wishes of the season oes, with the desire of an ever growing devotion to do and be like the Babe that was cradled in the manger of Bethlehem, 1916 years ago. The Boston Guardiai is sorely pained because Wilson was re-elect- ed. In 1912, the Guardian tiptoed n advocacy of his election. How can it teach consistency? When America confronts God for final settlement, the black crimes she will have to face will be shock- ing. Chief among them will be American slavery and her army sup- pression of Hayti. - If by eugenics cheap stock has goue from worthlessness to hun- dreds and thousands of dollars, why can’t human beings regain their lost decency in umanity? As it is, we are a diseased complexity. And how absurd for such a class to beget healthy offsprings. By all means venereal blood should be shunned as cheerfully as cautious people dc rattle-snakes Statistical reports show this coun- try in all of its existence, never had such wonderful crops of all kinds. The farmer's prices are very high. Why should the people be paying treble prices for food stuff when it is so plentiful? America would be much happier if her subjects owned small farms of not more than five acres—indeed one would support a family of eight. ‘the purpose of life is to live by the sweat of ones brow, with no idea of speculating on what is produced, but to save and use it for family consumption. It has to come to just such condi tions that all may live with a plenty by having fitted to survive the hard. ships of life. No wonder Blease advised the Negroes he addressed recently, te £00n, in spite of what I or others have said, for we can’t keep you down.’ Negroes have listened, looked and foreseen what the fu. ture has in store for them. Had our sensible white folks of this city heard Prof, William Pickens’ lec. ture, delivered the 22 inst., at Mt. Zion M. HB. Church, they would have said the same. He isas much the product of God to carry on the Propaganda that Vhillips, Douglas: and Lincoln advocated and died for as the Son of God was for the re- demption of fallen humanity. It is well he is black and better that he is powerful. He is noble where he is, ‘but were he world-wide known, ot in Congress America would ex- claim, greatest living young Negro for time to ripen for the redemption and fullfreedom of the Axnerican Negro. 40 these long and hungry days for meat, why vot eat crow? ‘“Dirty!’’ So isa chicken, but it is eaten as de- licious meat the world over and where is a fouler eating bird? Horse flesh is eaten and so are dogs; some people eat snakes. and others pole- cats. The opossum has a choice for food but when it cannot be gotten to the carcasses of dead animals it goes: nevertheless and notwithstaiding ittakes five dollars to buy one in Chicago, and itis rapidly becom- ing the daintiest morsel of America. The Baltimore American urges people to learn to eat muskrats and dilates on its fine, clean and dainty meat. Again we ask why not eat crow? Like all other grain-eating birds, it never eats filth as long as it can get grain. Like the hawk it is fond of rabbits, quails and other birds. - Cook it and it smells like chicken; eatit and it tastes as good. Talk- ing with a blacksmith and his friend about crows being good to eat, they beth said they would die rather than eat crow. Later on we shot and cooked a young crow and found at the same shop the same two men, JERRY WARE and JOHN H. KENT. Taking out our lunch and begin- ning toeat, Mr. Ware said:‘"You’ re selfish with your grub!" We pre- tended it was spring chicken, and of course buth wanted some. Each was given a small part which was devoured and more asked for, whereupon they were told it) was crow. Mr. Ware said “‘I don't care if it is, it’s good, give me some more’’ and that is what every meat- hungry human being woulddo.and say if he would try a-dish of crow. A MESSAGE TO WOMEN. (Written for this paper.) THE PIONEER PRESS takes this occasion to wish for all its sub- seribers and readers, all its adver- tisers and friends, all its exchanges and the race everywhere A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. But our specific Curistmas mes- sage this year istotve women. We are accustomed to hearing the same familiar lessons from the old story. We wish to bring to you, dear mothers, wives. daughters, sisteis and sweethearts, a new lesson—a messaxe to women. On that first Christmas night God honored womanhood. An angel on its wings might have brought the infant Savior to Bethlehem without Mary’s being there at all. But no! Motherhood for all time was to be consecrated and womanhood for all time to be honored. As Mary guided the boy Jesus, so woman's hand in all ages and in all nations has guided the steps of childhood. Tae world is what you women make it, because you deal with humanity in its most impres- sionable stages. All that we hope for in children may not always be realized; but much that we might otherwise re- gret will be averted if you always guide your child as did the mother of Jesus. Of course, another Christ will not arise from such means, for through all the ages no other has: but Christians may. Next to the blessedness of bearing the Christ is the blessedness of raising a follower of Christ And this lesson suggests another. Mary, by her relation to Christian- ity, speaks to vou as women, as well as to mothers. She reminds vou of your influence on religion, and of your responsibility for its continu- ance. The religious life of a nation er race is inseparable from faith, piety and purity in woman, and for you to forsake its altars and cease to fre- quent its temples must result in the ‘Tun of both.

The distribution of the cards will be entirely impersonal, the plan being to place one in each seat. The campaign was inaugurated by the railroad with a view to co-operating with the public health authorities in the various states through which te company operates and those in charge report that the results have proven encouraging. The campaign is a part of an educational program which is being conducted by the welfare department. 3 IN ONE ONE CLEANS PROTECTS PREVENTS WATER as it is delightful.
