History of Mrs.
Sarah A. Randall

s9nAe1l1 As INdilQdn
ON August 20. 1916, on the banks
of a beautiful river that flows between
the majestic hills OF Virginia, occurred
an event wen worthy OF being record
ed in the annals OF history. as the ses
queI to this short sketch will show.
That event was the birth or a little
girl, the daughter of William R. Hop.
kins and Nancy Hopkins. his wife. She
was one OF q family Of fourteen chill.
dren. six girls and eight boys. at the
age of seven or eight years she en-.
tered one Of the old.time subscription
schools which she continued to attend
when opportunity offered until she
was Is years OF age. At that age her
father accompanied her on horse
back, through an almost unbroken
wilderness. across the Allegheny
mountains to ycuipeper Courthouse.
In CuIpeper county. where he placed
her in a female seminary in a class OF
so girls, where she remained for two
years without visiting her home or.
seeing any OF her home people. At
the end Of that time she graduated IN
the following branches: orthography,
Reading. Writing, Arithmetic, Geog-
raphy, General History. History OF
Rome and the Bible. She then return
ed to her home on the Monongahela
river in Monongalia county, five miles
from Morgantown, which has since
then become West Virginia. She liv-
ed the quiet life of an educated and
refined young lady until she was mar.
ried, at the age of 81 years. to Colonel
William Randall. To them were born
nine children, five girls and four boys.
Five of the family are still living,
three girls and two boys. four having
passed to the great beyond. One dear
ly beloved son who had been taught
from childhood true patriotism and
loyalty to his country and flag, stood
ready to offer up his life in the de.
fence of Old Glory when traitors
hands proposed to trail our glorious
old banner in the dust. Hes with thou.
sands of our noble young freeman,
enlisted and marched away leaving
home and dear ones behind to bear
his part In the bloody conflict Of our
great Civil War. While the deadly
bullets passed him by his life was
spared TO share a far worse fate, that
OF being captured and starved to death
in Andersonville prison, a place that
will forever remain dark blot. and
disgrace to our beloved America, the
home of the brave and the land Of the
free. Mrs. Randall had another son,
who though quite young. showed tho
patriotism inherited from father and
mother by enlisting in the army in de.
fence Of the union, but who survives
to enjoy tie sbtessing Of liberty and
protection with the stars and stripes
still floating over him with not one
single star amiss.

whether the prospects are bright or
gloomy, and the party must make
the best fight it ear whether 1t enters
the campaign with fear or with con-
idence. Democrats believe that
that democratic policies are neces-
sary; they should, therefore, endorse
those principles and present those
policies and then select az their can
didates those VINO will give the party
the greatest assurance OF benefit in
casa of victory.
IF the members of the party be-

whether the indications point to de-
feat or victory. A defeat can bring
no disgrace where the Cause is a just
one. but ~cowardicc would he disgrace

~ indebted TO his party as Mr.. Bryan
is.
THE e campaign viii be an APP
peal to the public conscience. The
Investigations have shown not only
the corrupt use of large campaign
funds, but h only ource from which
they can be drawn, namely, the cor
pOrations that seek to convert the
government into a business asset. The
democratic party stands for the doc
trine of equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges TO none, and therefore
cannot promise favors to favor-seek-
ing corporations. If it made such
promises to the corporations it would
be guilty of duplicity, for it would
have to betray the voters as the re-
publican party has dom in order to
reward corporations as the republi-
can party has rewarded them.
The democratic campaign must be
carried on by volunteers who will
work because they desire the triumph
Of democratic ideas. We cannot hope
to appeal to the sordid OF to buy the
purchasable. even il such a course
would contribute toward democratic
Success. Nc one should Mr..
PrYan's nomination unless the party
is willing to open its books n show
where it's contributions come from
and for what the money IS expended.
The republican party ought to be
challenged to conduct it's campaign
in this open and honest way, and if
the republican leaders refuse to ac-
cept the challenge the democrats ear
well afford to leave the issue with
the public.
"Ar appeal to conscience is polit-
ically Gypedient, as well as morally
right, for the conscience IS the most
potent force with which man deals.
The national conscience has already
been aroused, and a large majority
Of the voters have seen the necessity
make this government again a gov
crnment of the people, by the people
of real reform. a reform that will
aud for the people. 1t only remains
for the democratic party to convince
the voters that it can he entrusted
with the work Of reforms, and nothing
will do more to convince the public
than a refusal to negotiate with pre-
datorV wealth and an honest appeal
by honest methods to the honest sen
tinent Of the country"
