4 BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.

The late John J. Brown, Cf Nor.
gantown, West Virginia, whose fun
eral occurred there week before last,
was a native Of Preston county, and
until the hour OF his death cherished
the most affectionate regard for the
people OF this community, although
he spent most of the years of his life
in an adjoining county. II was his
custom in his earlier years to period
ically visit Kingwood; but the in.
firmities Of age and the increasing
cares Of life contributed to make
these visits fewer and fewer and
fewer as the years rolled by. He
never lost his strong desire to come
10 his old home and visit among the
people who we're his friends and
neighbors in childhood and early
youth. II was his wish for months
before he died to again make the
trip 70 Kingwood and the old home
stead where he was born. Realizing
from the nature Of his sickness that
he nigh. never be able to do this he
prepared the following manuscript
and placed il among his papers that
were found in his desk after his
death. The Argus takes pleasure in
reproducing this paper; having al
ways admired Major Brown in his
lifetime, We cherish for him the pro.
foundest respect and admiration as
a memory:

SALUTED THE FLAG.
How Consul Anderson Stopped the
Boycott at Annoy

Boycott at Annoy.
cable from Annoy, China, says: The
Chinese gunboat Hsinghang appeared be-
fore the American consulate in the water
front In Annoy today with the American flag
at its masthead and fired a salute Of twen-
ty-one guns as amends for an act Of an in
sulting nature committed in connection with
the flagpoIe of the consulate about two
weeks ago.
The whole affair grew out Of the Ameri-
can boycott agitation, which has been In
progress in Annoy for a month or so. There
are large number Of merchants in Annoy
who have business connections In Manila,
more, perhaps, than in any other port or
China Many of the merchants have had
difficulty in getting into the Philippines
since the American occupation. and as a re-
suit the feeling against Americans In Annoy
is bitter.
The boycott agitation In Annoy took def
mite form about July 10, when the thirty-six
merchants composing the Annoy chamber of
commerce met and signed an agreement to
buy no more American goods until the ex-
clusion law was modified. That afternoon

pulled down the halyard of the American
hagpole, scattered filth about the foot and
posted an anti-American placard on the
pole. The affair was taken up with the
officers by Consul George q. Anderson on
the morning Of July 10. and has been
thrashed out between America and the vice
regal court at Fuchau. with some action
from Picking in the meantime. A flag sa-
lutte was insisted on by the consul.
Consul Anderson found that tho leader of
the boycott agitation in Annoy was a citizen
OF the Philippines interested In the Philip
pine trade. After a conference with the
consul this person, who was formerly Chi
nese consul at Manila and bears the Spanish
name of Engraco Palanca decided that he
wanted nothing more to do with the boy
colt. August 2 the merchants met and de-
cided to drop the agitation.
