THE coLoRED VOTER

The colored people OF Mercer coun-
ty are beginning to show their indie
pendence with no uncertainty. They
know how they have been treated
by their white Republican bosses In
the past. They know that they have
been doing the voting and their white
friends have been getting the offices.
The report comes to the Leader from
the coal field that the colored voter
Is disgusted with their bosses and
propose to show the ringsters that
they will no longer be hewers of wood
and bringers Of voters. while they
get nothing but promises. The col
ored man has about arrived at the
conclusion that if he is to do all the
voting he would at least like to be
recognized as small portion of the
Republican party. We want to say
to the colored men that they have
struck the key note OF the situation.
Keep II mp. and you will find that
this professed love of the Republican
Office. seeker is all pretense to get
your vote. Your true friends are
with the men who will not deceive
you by false promises and keep you
eternally waiting for something they
never propose to give.

GREATER WILLIAMSON

Where there was nothing but a
small field three short months ago,
at what Is known as East William
son there is today a rushing army OF
workmen, and houses are springing
up as rapidly almost as mushrooms.
In fact the rapid growth of this place
Is unsurpassed by the quick building
or towns where rich deposits have
been discovered In the West, and
the more satisfactory thing about it.
to those who have been lucky In pur-
chasing a bit OF the small parcel OF
ground. Is that the rush and boom
that started rather miraculously
with land company, without much
thought from the public. has devel-
oped into great success that can
not fail or fall, but must continue
to grow and advance, owing to the
enormous yard, shops and round
house building alongside this valu-
able little place. All eyes are turn
ed from the older portion OF the city,
where property has been higher than
at Bluefield or Roanoke, to this new
section and there is now a scramble
among old settlers and traders to
dispose OF property In West William
son and acquire n holding in East
Williamson before II is too late. One
has but to glance from the passing
train to see the wonderful change
that Is taking place In this new town
site. There are some fine buildings
under construction and about to
start. The Y. NJ. G. A. building,
which we are told will cost over
$4,000, Castner. Curran e. Bullet,
large office building and other coal
companies Offices and clubs. The
East Williamson National Bank will
also build Immediately. and lots sold
but a few days since at two or three
hundred dollars are going now at
as many thousands.

If Judge Ritz had continued I'm
the Judicial race the democrats. or
at least large number OF them had
made up their minds to vote for him
on account of his legal ability to dis
charge the duties OF the office; but
the political power behind the

went, unwept for and unsung by his
party friends, some OF whom he had
served with fidelity in days gone by
and II is supposed the Judge like Car
dinal Wolsey has been heard to ex-
claim In bitter tones, Had I have
cerved my God as faithfully as have

but just that II democrats we're will

Ritz that now his friends can well
AFFORD to vote for ID. II. French, let
them do so and they will be rewarded

not allow corrupt politics TO control
the election OF a Judge, the matters
at stake is too important. Tell your

NO DEED SIGNED YET
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MARI-
BOROUGHS SAYS CHILDREN

Sir George Henry Lewis OF London
acting as solicitor for the duke and
duchess OF Marlborough. says he is
authorized to state that no deed of
separation between the duke and the
duchess has been signed and that the
children OF the couple are not In the
custody OF the duchess, but are with
their father at Blenheim castle. The
text OF the solicitors statement Is as
follows. The duke OF Marlborough
and members OF his family, including
the marquis OF Blandford and Lord
ivor Spencer Churchill. the dukes
sons, are in the residence at Blen-
helm. The report that deed OF sep

THE NEW DC
TATOR OF CHINA

The most powerful individual In
China to-day is Yuan shi Kai. the
yIceroy OF Tien-tsin. He is virtually
the dictator OF the empire, having as
his ally the old empress dowager. No
decree is issued from Pekin without
his approval. Te Is credited with
having caused the Chinese govern
ment to issue the recent antiopium
decree. Yuan is a man of great force
OF character, and a believer In pro-

modernize his country. Numerous
attempts have been made to assassi-
nate him. IL is hoped that through
his efforts China will be transformed
into a progressive land.

A SENTIMENTAL
DISQUISITION,
SOUTHERN VIEWS OF SWORD

The recent death In Massachusetts,
OF Daniel B. Wesson, the manufac-
turer OF revolvers. leaving a fortune
OF $3O,OO0,O00, has caused deal OF
comment on the revolver. its uses and
abuses. That a man could have

to those who are interested in hu.
man progress.
No one censures the dead cap
tain OF industry" that he engaged In
supplying the demand for pistols; he
and his associates have been respon-
sible for no crime done with the I'm
pliments they made and sold. but his
monstrous wealth illustrates with
uncanny emphasis the popularity of
a thing put to evil employment a
thousand times to one time that It
does worthy service.
The pistol Is essentially the weapon
OF personal. individual. malice. No
one uses It for the purpose OF sport.
In war its use is so slight that the
absence OF II would scarcely affect
the casualty lists. Its form, its
"haDdiness" and, more than all, the
ease with which II adapts itself to
the treachery and cowardice OF most
OF those who bear It. account for the
dlsgraceful vogue that II has among
men. IL is carried with good excuse
by one only when II is carried with
out excuse by some other person In
whose heart felony is fermenting,
and generally the excuse OF the first
is rather imaginary than real.
Formerly the banefui institution OF
dueling regulated to degree the evil
each other by punctilious rules. the
pistol served to eliminate differences
in physical power, and In those cases
II placed combatants upon the same

OF brawn. muscle and sheer weight.
