TRANSFERS Petition
PRESIDENT Roosevelt I
Him to Recommend Their
Cause in His Message to
Congress.
PETITION DIRECT TO HI
Hoping He May See To 1t That Their
Efforts to Receive Pensions
Are Rewarded.

Thirty teamsters attended the
meeting of the Central West yir-
sinia United States reamsters' AS
oc!atlon here Saturday.
The meeting was called to order
at II o'clock by President Charles
l.. Hickman and Secretary B. A.
Reeder was at his desk. An audit
ing committee with Thomas Hawker
chairman was appointed to audit the
books OF the treasurer and the asso-
citation then adjourned until 1890
o'clock In the afternoon.
At the afternoon session the fol-
owing petition. with many signers,
was directed to be sent to Presi-
dent Roosevelt:
To His Excellency, Theodore Roose-
welt. President of the Unite.l
States Of America:
The undersigned petitioners
you'd respectfully represent, that
hey are members of the Central
West Virginia United States Teams
sters' Organization. and were team
sters in the service OF the Army of
the United States during the late
Civil War. That while 1t is true
that they were prevented by their
occupation from bearing arms. they
believe that the services they render
ed were no less important and In
dispensable to the success of the
armies of the United States than
those of the soldiers in active SER
vice whose services would have been
impossible without the labor rem
dered by these petitioners. Your
petitioners therefore feel that they
are entitled to recognition at the
hands of the Government of the
United States for the services SO rem
dered. in like manner as II they had
enlisted In some other branch OF the
Army's work.
Your petitioners believe that an
investigation of their claims will
lead your ExcelIency to the same
conclusion and therefore respectful
ly request that the matter may re-
ceive your personal consideration
and If 1t wins your approval that
your next message to Congress
should contain favorable recon-
mendation to it for legislation recog-
nizing the services rendered by your
petitioners.

NEWSPAPER LAW.

1. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to continue sub
scriptions.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tnuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them I'M
til all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse
20 take their periodicals from post
office to which they are directed they
are RESPONSIBLE until they have settled
their bills and order ed them discon-
tinued.
4. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former directions, they are held re-
sponsible.
s. The courts have decided that
the refusing to take periodicals from
postoffice, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for. is prima facie evil
sence of International fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to the
publishers, at the end of their time,
if they do not wish to continue it
otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it, the subscriber will be re-
sponsible until an express notice with
payment of arrearages is sent to the
publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law the man who allows his subscrip-
ton to run along for some time, I'M
paid. and then orders the postmaster
TO mark it refused" and has a card
sent notifying the publishers, lays
himself liable to arrest and fine. the

JAPAN AND THE NEGRO.

The oft repeated question
What would the Negro do in
case of d war with JAPAN
should be answered thus: Take
up arms and fight for his coun-
try. Japan is a great country
and it is soothing to see that race
becoming a powerful nation for
many reasons, but for the Negro
to take up arms against his coun-
try. his home, where he lives and
has his being, is bosh. This sort
of silly prattle should cease, it is
becoming ridiculous. What re-
suits would the Negro acquire by
fighting this country? Then,
there will be no war.
