They are fond OF Roosevelt poll

label placed thereon by the national
convention. Capital Is not alarmed,
investors are not threatened, money
is not in hiding, yet Roosevelt was
never SO much the master and his

Grow plan works In that state. In
the same manner 1t Is advocating dis
reimbursement.
But there is u difference which the
Gazette Intentionally. overlooks. In
Virginia, North Carolina. and, In
fact, every other southern state, the
ratio Of Negroes to whites Is about
ten times that In West Virginia. Here
there is about one Negro to every
ten whites. Is 1t not an insult to the
intelligence of the whites to say that
this one Negro has been and is doml-
mating ten Of them?
" This grade OF molasses may catch
some flies. but even the much-abused.
ignorant Negro can see that the at
tempt is to be made to disfranchise
him, not because there is any like
lihood Of his dominating anybody or
anything. but simply because he
votes the republican ticket. The
dangerous fires OF race prejudice are
stirred up not because the govern
ment is endangered or the purity Of
the white race Is IN jeopardy, but
purely for party ends; that certain
men who are now without visible
means of support may have steady
employment. What matters it to
them that the Negro, the accursed
Mordecai, whose sorrows are many,
whose pleasures few" must suffer
because OF their. ambition? He is
the least line of resistance.

GEORGIA,S DISGRACE.

The conditions which obtained in
Georgia's con1ic4 camps were more
shockingly- brutal than those which
existed in the worst slave pens in
ante bellum days. Then, there was
limi; to punishment and ill-treat-
mcnt because OF the slaves property
value. Under Georgia's convict
lease system, the property value Of
the convict was nil 1t was to the
advantage of the lessee to get every
ounce possible out OF his convicts.
If any died of punishment inflicted
because of their inability to keep the
pace, it mattered not; others could
easily be had to fill their places
America boasts of being highly
civilized, Christian nation and be-
comes highly wrought up over the
recital of the barbarities of Leopold

flied with accounts of the harsh
treatment received by a number Of
South Sea Islanders in Central
America. Yet the disclosures from
Georgia, where men were whipped

Twelve months ago leading repub-
leans OF the Middle and Eastern

citation of the so-ca1led Roosevelt
policies, and no names were too

to the author OF those policies and
his measures. Gentlemen at the head

managing important Industrial enter
prises, many interested in large rail-
way systems, the majority Of them
contributors to the republican cam
paign funds Of 1895, 1900 and 1904,
were not slow In their wrath nor soft
in their abuse.
The president, they said to the
country, brought on the panic by his
hostile acts and views; capital was
alarmed, investors were threatened,
business was impossible under such
policies and the financial and COM
mercial world was going to the dem
milton bowwows." In June last those
policies were fully approved by the
great republican party and the party

WILL PETITION
FOR ADMISSION

The subject on anuexing to Danville
adjacent territory on the south side OF
the river is being pretty warmly dis.
cussed by the residents of Riverside
borough and Gearhart township. While
it is clear enough that there is senti'
ment in favor of annexation it is also
plain that there is a sentiment in op-
position to it.
A leading resident of Riverside bor-
ough is authority for the statement
that an early move is contemplate
that will reveal the full strength OF
the anneXionists on the south side.
Probably during the present week a
meeting will be called. An organiza-
tion will be erected, after which can
vassers will be sent out to see how
many signers can be obtained who
favor annexation.
The next step taken, should the re,
suit prove encouraging, will be to de-
termiue the attitude of the borough
council of Danville in the premises
1t is not known how the people of
Danville stand in the matter, nor how
the twelve men who legislate for the
borough may vote when it comes to
considering the question of anneXa.
tiou. Lest it occur that they be found
reckoning without their host' the
south siders will direct their inquiries
in this direction before proceeding
very far in shaping things for annexa
tion.
The citizen of Riverside above quot
ed states that large number of repre-
sentative people, both of Riverside
and South Danville, have placed them
selves on record as favoring annexa-
tion. Several citizens of each place
were interviewed and were found to
be quite enthusiastic. They apparently
do not harbor the least doubt but that
they will be received with open arms
by the borough OF Danville. As one
of the citizens expressed it, Here is
the making of one of the finest wards
of Danville; well built and comfort
able homes building aud manufactur-
ing sites, cheap and the most desir-
able in the county while if anneXa-
tion become reality we will add
round thousand 10 Dauyille's popula-
tion.'
There are others on the south side
less enthusiastic, who believe that the
borough of Danville would balk at the
proposition Of carrying borough water
over the river. while. as above stated
others are found, who do not look with
much favor on annexation. Nothing
short of the contemplated canvass will
show eaxctly how the people stand,

TYPHOID fever
IS DYING jOT

The local registrars report for Jan
uary, reveals that typhoid fever is no
longer cause for alarm. During the
month OF January only four cases were
reported Preceding reports showed
that in one month as high as thirty
cases were added to the list.
During the month three cases of
measles were reported and one case of
either of these diseases On the whole
the report as to infectious diseases is
most encouraging, especially as relates
to measles, which in neighboring
towns have been prevalent to an un-
usual degree. The present season is
one when diphtheria, diphtheretic
Group and other juvenile diseases are
likely to claim victims, but the al
most total immunity from these dread
ed ailments that the town and district
seems to enjoy is matter for self con-
graduation. The record shows only
one case of pneumonia. In this case
there was a fatal termination.
The doctors, however, are not idle.
Many persons are afflicted with grip
in its different forms. to say moth
il g OF bad colds, caused by the sudden
changes of weather.
During the month of January there
were twenty two deaths. six of which
occurred at the hospital for the in
sane. During the year ending on Dec
ember 3lst, a total of 263 deaths oc-
Cured in the registration district. By
this it will be seen that the number of
deaths reported for January is quite
within the limit, being no more than
the monthly average for last year
The number of births for the year
cloisng December 31st was 2S6 The
births reported for December the last
month, whose figures are available,
were % in number The monthly aver
age during the year, it will he noted,
are above the average rumber OF
deaths.
