tho largest stockholders, and also'general
manager.
Mr.. Hewitt did receive letters from
Lindsay, OF Washington, and has posses.

Of purely business nature, to.wit: ~

them to be sober and Industrious work.
ors, They want to 90 where they can
permanently locate and hayo homes,
Oi course, when they have been in the
State long enough to vote, they will vote
the Republican ticket"
These letters were not even answered
by MIR. Hewitt. There is another thing
which happened about the same time in
which others made money, and that
was the building OF the extension Of the
Norfolk X Western railroad from near
this place to the Ohio river, which re.
quired thousands OF laborers, aud agents
were sent out by contractors all through
Virginia and South Carolina, especially
engaging them, for which Athcy were
paid. a good many young men from
those States, aud mostly Democrats, too,
would engage fifteen to fifty coiorcd
men each, and bring them ont here for
the purpose Of getting good wages as
walking bosses" over such colored
men. Let them ask Hon. Joseph S.
Miller, ex.Democratic Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, and one OF the attor.

will find that the first colored miners
ever in this State were breught here by
one OF the most prominent Democratic
politicians OF the State, during strike
at William Wyant's colliery on the
kanawha river. These men were
brought, as l said, to this State by a
Democrat, but at the first election they
could vote they voted the straight Re-
publican ticket. There are several
Democratic coal operators in this sec.
ton, and they employ as large a propor-
ton OF colored miners as the Repub.
lican operators. And, further, it is true
that nearly all the operators here, both
Democratic and Republican, prefer
miners with familieB to single men, ana
that locates them and makes bona tide
citizens out Of them, even according to
the last Legislatures idea.

ministers Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and is the present can.
diaate OF tho Prohibition party for Gov.

the proposed constitutional amendment,
was nominated for Governor by the
Pfohibisionists.
When the conference met at Pulaski
yesterday and DR.. kelly's name was
called his character was agsailed BY the
Rev. @. W. Winn. Bishop Harcrave at
once proceeded to appoint committee
to investigate the case. The excitement
rose at times to hi gh pitch, aud it was

submit their report on Monday. It's
expected that a very lively discussion

the ioImer because they were getting
something nice and in Il style TOO, to
which they were not accustomed, and the
latter because they were making others
happy.
PROVISIONS were made for treating
three hundred persons to sandwiches
and coffee with q slice OF cake for deaert.
Nice clean tables, covered with white
Glenn cloths, were ranged about the
room, and nice fresh buns split in the
middle and buttered, and inlaid with
ham, corned beef or cheese vera served
to the satisfaction OF the hunger OF all
comers. To wash this down, rich golden
brown coffee, with cut-loaf sugar, and
Jersey cream, was given in clean white
cups. Mrs. Arthur Little, Miss Eliza II,
Mills, Mrs. ]. N. Vance, Mrs, John ].
Jones and Mrs. Edward Haz!ett attend.
ed the tables, and kept no one waiting.
Flowers were placed at appropriate III
tervals on the table, aud the whole scene
was pleasing to the eye, and tempting
to the appetite.
About three hundred people were
served, and many OF them reall v uendad
what they got. .Poorrboys and girls
showed their appreciation with spark.
ling. eyes, and men with the marks OF
dissipation in their faces ate with a
relish which showed how badly they
needed just such stimulants to their
burned up, worn out constitutions.
While all this was going on DR..
Hutchings and carefully selected choir
with organ and cornet accompaniment,
rendered music OF q character which
would make it appreciable anywhere
and especially so at that place.
Ms. George L. burst made a very nc.
ceptable donation OF buns and cakes, and
others would be doing well to follow the
example at future festivals.
The first sandwich and coffee festival
was a success in every particular, and
beyond doubt did great good in softening
the hearts OF men who haven't been
touched in years. That it is the kind OF
charity and christianity that most peo-
pie like, was proven by the remarks
make BY passer5'by during the evening.
Last night, in spite Of the storm, Mr..
Sawyer talked to more people than any
preacher in town. The hull was well
filled all evening, and the audience was
attentive and interested. The meetings
will be continued nightly, and entertain
ments will DO provided from time to
