does not give thanks for the privilege
ofliving in this age OF the world and
in such a land as ours. The simple
fact Of existence Is cause for thanks
giving. And he will get the true
thanksgiving flavor in his celebration
to-day who has onesomething, much
or little, to- make happier holiday

Fake From Hattiesburg.

Conclusive evidence is being de-
veloped to show that the reports
reaching the governors office con-
corning the number of idle negroes
in South Mississippi, resulted from
alleged closing down of lumber mills,
have been grossly exaggerated. From
Hattiesburg, Columbus, Lumberton,
Laurel and other large lumber manu-
featuring points, reports are sent
to the effect that, instead of the coun-I
try being filed with idle negroes
there is an actual labor shortage, and
that employment could be given to
many more laborers than are now
available.

That Matchless Labor Leader VIII Address the
Citizens of Charleston at the
BUNEW OPERA HOUSE AT ] O'CLOCK P. NJ.
VIII Also Make Address at Montgomery on Tuesday After
noon-Great Preparations Being Made for the Event
His First Visit to the Capitol City.

On Monday next that peerless
leader of the United Mine Workers
OF America, John Mitchell, will
address the citizens of Charleston
and vicinity at the Burlew Opera
House at l O'Clock p. m.
Mr. Mitchell is recognized as one
of the most eloquent, forceful,
earnest and appealing orators of
the present day and a man who
commands the respect and conf
dence of every one from the humb-
lest wage Garner to the greatest
captain of industry in our land.
Mr. Mitchell has been close
student OF the labor problem since
boyhood and is one of the best
posted men in the country not only
on the labor question, but all qnes-
tions affecting the wege earners
and the masses of the people in
general. His life has been devoted to
these questions and when you hear
him speak you get the benfit of his
fountain of knowledge.
Every citizen of the Kanawha
Valley should hear Mr.. Mitchell
discuss the labor question in a full,
free and impartial manner, it will
enhghted many Of them as to the
righteousness Of the cause and its
true and noble aims for the benefit
Of not only the toiling masses, but
society in general as well.
The ladies should turn out and
especially women wage workers
and the wives and daughters of the
men who toll for their daily bread,
and hear the man who is ever ready
to champion their cause and who
has spent many sleepless nights
planning for their emancipation
Notwithstanding the fact that he
will also speak at Montgomery on
Tuesday the 18th, an enormous
crowd is expected from the coal
fields OF that neighborhood and all
the miners from down the Kanawha
will be here who can secure trans
portation over the railroads and
