frain From Active Par.
ticipation.

Some of the local Federal officials have
received circulars from their respective

they are requested to not engage actively
in local politics. The Agriculture De-
partment circular was received in the last
mail The one issued by Postmaster
General Payne, addressed to the officers
and employees of the Postoffice depart
ment and others concerned regarding the
extent of the prohibition put by the de-
partment on political activity on the part
of employees, is as follows:
''Postmasters or others having unclassi-
fed positions are merely prohibited from
using their offices to control political
movements. from neglecting their duties
or causing public Scandal by political ac-
tivity A person in the classified service
has an entire right to vote as he pleases,
and to express privately his opinions on
all political subjects, but he should take
no active part in political management or

duty to so echo and re-echO these appeals
that the ignorant shall rise up and by
the mere force of human right demand
adequate education, that the people
should tax themselves for Cducation,
that school authorities should promote
the best ideas of education, and thai phil

Turse and private local liberality. Let no

Eloquent Address by Col Worthington Author

Especial to News and Observer.)

Snow Hill, N. c., April 25.-Wednesday
marked the annual e-union of the Greene
While but few have been able to reach
Dallas, they turned out in full to enjoy
a day of "reminiscences, experimenting.
and last but not least a capital dinner Of
Greene county barbecue. After the
reelection of all the old Off
GERS, the orator OF the day was intro
duced by Representative F. L. Carr. Col.
ID. Worthington, who is we'll known
throughout the State. as the author of
the Broken Sword" was the speaker,
and for over an hour he held his audience
with the power of his eloquence and the
beauty of his tributes to the "wearers
Of the gray" At the conclusion of the
address a resolution was adopted re-
questing Col. Worthington to furnish a
copy of the same to the State press with
the request that they publish it.
His tribute to the Southern woman
brought tears to the eyes Of many. He
said in part:

a secession cockade and holding in her

these Immortal heroes through the jaws
Of death at Charlottesville, at Manassas,
at Gettysburg, and finally at "Appomat-

curtain dropped for the last time upon

Of time. He said in conclusion:
"a quarter century hence the order will
pass down the lines, lights out and
these refreshing reunions will adjourn
sine die. God grant that when we cross
over the river to rest in the shade OF
the trees, we may meet again where there
are no wars or rumors of wars, where
every man who wore the gray and who
followed the flag will swell the columns
at the grand review no name omitted from
the roll-call, and no soldier missing from
the ranks"

THE GOVERNOR TO NEGROES.
His Speech and reception att Evans Chapel
During His Visit to Fayetteville.

The Fayetteville Observer says of the
Governors recent visit to Fayetteyille:
"One of the most interesting as well
as most gratifying of the incidents OF
the Governors visit was his speech and
reception at Evans Chapel. The fine
building, which seats LOO, was filled
with a splendid body of colored people
or negroes, as Prof. Smith and Superin-
tendent ThurstOn, agreeing with the Gov
crnOr, say they are proud to call the
race-and the audience gave the Chief
Magistrate a hearty welcome. as he en-
tered. After a hymn of welcome, admir-
ably rendered by the colored choir, Prof.
f. E. Smith introduced the Governor, who
made a most happy address, handling the
difficult subject of speaking plainly, and
yet kindly and helpfully, to this important
part of our population, with
tact and ability. The response of Prof.
Smith and the formal response Of Su-
perintendent Thurston. were most
happily conceived and delivered. They
were in perfect taste, and evinced schol-
arship and culture. Superintendent
Thurston is an orator of remarkable pow
ers, and if his vocation We're tina of a
public man and his race that Of the de-
lighted Chief Magistrate who applauded
his remarks, it would not be easy to
measure his probable attachments in life.

not admit Of a more extended account

The April number Of the Bulletin Of
Pharmacy published in Detroit, Mich,
contains comprehensive "write-up"
OF the West Virginia Hospital at
Weston, and has of Z. Bruce Dawson,
a Harrison county boy, the following
complimentary notice:
1.-THE present pharmacist at the
West Virginia Hospital is 3. Bruce
Dawson. Mr.. Dawson has had an ex.
cellent training in pharmacy and is
well equipped for work in such place.
Graduating from the high school at
the age Of 16, he spent two years In a
store, and then attended, and was

macy, at Wheeling, w. Va, and was
then appointed to the position in the
hospital for period of two years.
This was perhaps year ago. That
the two year period will in all prob

JESSE DAY ARRESTED Az WESTON
Stole Money ans q Railroad Ticket from
Passenger ona TralR

The notorious Jesse F. Day, who has
done time in all the Jails between
Buckhannon and Parkersbnrg, and
who has also served two terms in the
penltentiary at Moundsville, was ar
rested at Weston Sunday for stealing
90 In cash and railroad ticket from 9
man named Charles e. O'Donnell.
O'Donnell had been working In the
Sand Fork oil field and had boarded
the train at Weston to come to Clarks-
burg. He had been drinking and fell
asleep assoon as he was seated In the
car. Day was also passenger. At
the Baltimore and Ohio shops the
train stopped on account OF wrecked
freight train two miles ahead. After
Day had gone out Of the car another
passenger awoke O'Donnell and told
HIM that he had seen Day go through
his clothes. A railroad detective was
called and arrested the thief and took
him to the office ofSquire A. B. Lock-
hart, who held him for court. Day Is
now in jail. His only concern appears
to be fear that his crime may be the
means of his being sent back to the
penitentiary for life. When searched
the money and ticket were found on
his person. Day has been in the tolls
here several times. He Is about IS
years of age.
