NEW JERSEY NEGRO
Succeeds Minister H. M.
Smythe, of TazeweIl.

Washington, June 10-The mission
10 Hayti has been vacant since the
enforced resignation of ex.minister
Harry Nj, Smythe, of Tazeweu coun-
ty, Va, whose resignation was &C
cepted by the state department sew
eral weeks ago.
The position has been eagerly
sought after by several Virginia Re-
publicans, who claimed preference by
right of inheritance and who will be
greatly disappointed at a selection
being made from another state.
Among the Virginia applicants
were Mr. James McHenry Gish, Of
Roanoke, Mr.. Browning, of Pocahon
tas, brother to Col. James S. Brown
ing.
The new minister is colored man
about forty years old, and is at pres
ent the superintendent of colored
schools of Camden, New Jersey, but
little is known of his antecedents
here, and it NAV be that the presi
dent has at last broken his record
and appointed a native Southern Re.
publican to an important position.
In the selection of colord man
for this appointment the president
has only returned to the custom of
former admin strations, as Minister
Smyth was the only white man Sc
lected for this mission in many years
He also enjoyed the honor of being
the second Virginian who represent
ed this country there, one of his
being John NJ Lang
ston, formerly of Petersburg, but
at present residing here.-Bristol

The "Unprepdred -

A man, in n certain city died not
long since, and the minister, contra.
ry to the usual custom in such cases
stated emphatically that "our friend
whose remain lie before us, was m.
prepared for death. Upon what
foundation was the statement based?
The dead man, from the testimony of
all tho people among whom he had
lived for years, testified to his good
character, his moral and upright
conduct in speech and action-his
charity, his kindness to the poor, his
tenderness toward his wife and
children. All who had ever known
him considered him a model man..
How did the minister know that he
was "unpreparedf" BY what rule
or measurement did he reach the
dogmatic conclusion, that the dead
man was cut off in an "unprepared'
statei Evidently, there was only one
means by which the living could
judge the dead, and that was that
the man had lived and died outside of
either of the church organizations of
the country. "He was not member
of the church." that was all. There
is growing feeling among the peo-
pie that to be a member of a church
is to insure preparation for death.
A man may be dissolute in life, and
immoral, yet an hours worship once a
week atones for all shortcomings We
believe in churches, but not as places
where people are prepared for death
Not like Pullman Palace Car, is the
church, in which the contented pass
enger takes his seat by vir' ue of the
price of a ticket, and is carried
whether or no, into the general depo
of everlasting happiness. Far be i
from us to discount the churches, OF
the work they are doing, but we dc
object to such prescription as the a
bove. A great many people are pre-
pared to die who never belonged to
or even heard of the modern churcE
organization. A great many, it is tC
be feared, will be "unprepared," whC
have been all their lives members O.

TORNADO AND HAL STORM.
Lives and Property Lost. Much
Damage Done.

The Spring of 1897 will pass into
history as one of the most remarka-
ble of the century, probably, for di-
saster of various kinds, on sea and
land, in governmental. social and fl
nancial circles. Floods, earthquakes,
war, lynchings, suicides, tornadoes
etc, etc, have marked the beginning
of the year so far.
Last week tornado of wind and
rain ragged over south western Colo
rado from until II o'clock at night,
doing great damage to property.
Several people were killed and many
injured. Last Sunday was hail day
IN Virginia. A terrific hail storm
passed over portions of Eastern Vir
glnia, In the after noon damaging,
growing crops very much. No lives
were lost. We had quite a hail
storm in Tazewell late Saturday af-
ternoon, but doing little damage, so

The Clear Fork Road.

We assure the Headlight, and all
parties interested, that the editor of
the News is highly in favor of the
road across the mountain. We be-
lieve we were the first to write an
article, recently, on the subject.
''Citizen," in our columns some time
ago SAID some things which may have
been construed as against the scheme.
We invite the discussion of all sides
of the question in our columns; but
really ''citizen" is not opposed to
the road. We are glad this question
has been brought up, and, like the
Headlight, we offer our columns to a
discussion of this question. By all
means let some plan be conceived by
which this road can be built, so as TO
give the good people i'll the east end
living chance.
The only question is the money
necessary 10 carry out the scheme.
How about a private subscription ?
We were informed by some of the
citizens OF Graham, that $4,000. will
build the road. If this estimate is
correct we will guarantee to find ten
men who will give one fourth of the
amount. During this financial de
preston money is scarce, but it is
also time when labor is cheap. Let
some energetic citizens of Graham
and Clear Fork 'get a move on them,
and see what can be done.
Sooner or later the road will come
And bring the markets much nearer
home;
The farmer will then have a smil,
on his brow;

if 1t is one half as bad as he rep

There is too much of the spirit of
