man.
From Saturdays Daily.
Congressman Charles E. Little
field of Maine, entertained large
audience in Commencement Hal
last evening Tor nearly an hour an
half with bis lecture on Education
and Civilization" That treat was
expected was shown to the manage
ment, at least, by the fact that near
ly hundred persons were admitted
on tickets for the single lecture, in
addition TO those admitted on tick
cts for the season. A large number
of the farmers here fer the various
agricultural lectures and meetings
attended.
Congressman Littlefeld's subject
Education and Civilization" at
first glance appears to be a very
broad one. His lecture, however, is
discussion of the negro problem,
which he insists is the most impcr-
tant one the United States has to
solve today. The attempt to lead
the negro race to high plane of civ
ilization in a few decades by educa-
tion Mr.. Littleheid characterizes as
a rank failrre. There can be ne
high civilization without education
but the education of an ignorant
race does not necessarily mean its
civilization. Civilized man is the
product of generations of educated
men. Mr.. Littlefield hold that the his
tory of the negro race in America is
itself proof of this.
The Maine Congressman thinks
many unfortunate blunders have beer
made by the nation in regard 10 the
negro since his liberation from sla-
very. The most prominent OF them
was giving him the right Of the bal
lot. sovereign privilege which he is
now wholly incapable of using inteii-
gently. This it is now almost impos-
sible to take from him.
In this connection he spoke Of the
manner in which legislature is OBJ
structed in the houses of Congress,
especially in the Senate. Senator
Tillman once prepared to talk three
days in order to present an action ON
measure before adjournment. He
paid Tillman several high compli-
ments, saying among other things
that he can always be depended upon
to do exactly what he says he will do.
In introducing his lecture Mr., Lit
tlefleld talked for five minutes about
the beauties Of Morgantown, and of
course, the audience was delighted at
the very start. He is an eloquent,
forcible speaker,of striking personal
appearance. HIS voice is strong and
resolute aud does not tire easily.

from the Charleston Gazette:
''The Hon, B & o. Dayton" is the
way the Morgantown Post, the repub-
lican organ, speakes Of the congress

trict. Isn't it nice for repub,ica n
brethern to dwell together ia such

ANOTHER EFFORT.
Glass Men will Gather at the Henry In
Pittsburg to Try TO Get Together.

Window glass manufactures are to
hold an interesting meeting at the
Hotel Henry in Pittsburg. They will
try to reach some solution to the
present condition OF the trade, which
is holding macy factories ia idleness
and leaves nc settled wage base upon
which to figure prices for the market.
The utter failure of the OF the past
efforts TO form pool or selling agency
of the trade, with national scope,
together with the hopeless attempt to
unite the factories Of the skilled wor
kers into a single organization, leaves
the situation 10 a most trying state.
The most interesting feature OF the
coming meeting is said to be the fact
that the American Window Glass
Company will not be represented, and
the position will not be made clear at
that time.

of having the printing done for the

Usual-One Man Fell Down on Con

The threatened drought has not
vet mat erialized in town. There
was quite futter in town among
those interested as consumers or
vendors Of booze when it was an
nounced through this paper and
otherwise that the II. d U. had issued
orders cutting of the supply of Ii
quor to all who did net have state
license.
At first it was thought that this
move settled it as far as getting any
thing to drink was concerned and
there was much scurying around
and consulting as to the law and its
effects.
The druggists are exemp from
the working o. the law and
they have received their supplies all
right. They have druggists license
which as one of them expresses it
allows us to sell drugs and poisons. !"

and which get liquids for the use Of

trouble in getting their consign-
meats Of the stag that cheers
But the ordinary speakeasy man
who does not do business here at all
is having trouble of his own. 1t is
stated that one man in the state has
failed to get eight barrels of beer
although he swore it was his own
personal use. The b. Il o. still has
this consignment in its possession.
The excitement would be much
more intense and the indignation
much more acute if there were any
sneakeasies in town but since they
have all been closed for years there
is little local interest in the matter.
Several establishments which have
been accustomed to keeping intoxi-
eating drinks which are presented
to the friends OF the owners of these
| places state that they have found a
method to keep up a stock at all
times. They do not care to state
how they do this.
