GARMACK CLUB
is ORGANIZED
SUPPORTERS or PEOPLES CHAM
PioN IN NINTH DISTRICT ARE
READY FOR BATTLE.
JUDGE PITTS HITS MACHINE
Supported Patterson in 1906, But
Found Him Untrue to His
Pledges.

Carmaek enthusiasm was at a high
ebb in Columbia on Friday night
when there was organized a Carmack
club for the Ninth district with $50
members and many have stated today
that they intended to join but were
unable to be present at the initial
meeting. The crowd which assembled
in the Circuit Court room was rep
.resentative of the best Democracy and
citizenship of Columbia and this dis
trict. There were over 200 of the
Democratic voters of this district
present and every utterance denounc-
ing the machine and in behalf of the
peoples champion was cheered to the
echo
The club was organized by the cleo
ton of Hon. G. T. Hughes as President
and Charles P. Hatcher as Secretary.
The feature of the evening was an ad-
dress by Judge John A. Pitts, of Nash
forceful speaker and his arraignment
of the machine and analysis of the
desperate machine methods which
had their expression in the bogus
unit primary was powerful and con-
vincing.
Judge Pitts stated that he had been
an ardent follower of Gov. Patterson
when the latter was candidate two
years ago, because he believed his
then professions of hostility to the
machine He took Patterson at his
word had contributed literally of his
time and money to secure his cleo
ton and nomination only to find that
he had been grossly deceived Amid
thunders of applause Mr.. Pitts said
ITO my utter astonishment l find that
Gov. Patterson has built upon the ruins
of the old Cox machine the strongest
and most defiant machine that the
State Of Tennessee ever knew"
Judge Pitts said that the son of an
oficeholder had said to him that while
it might be true that Gov. Patterson
had not kept faith with the people,
what assurance did he have that Car
mack would not violate his pledges. |
To this the speaker said he replied
II do not believe that Ed Carmack will
be false to his promises and untrue
to his spoken word, but if he is then /;
I will work just as hard to turn him
out as will to get rid of Patterson"
Judge Pitts with his keen analitical
mind went into the primary and ex
posed it's gross and glazing frauds,
every honest man that it
was not devised in q spirit of fairness
and true Democracy. He told how it
would operate in the race for Supreme |
Court and took occasion to arraign
Patterson for making political APP
Dointment to this court.

A New Fire Station.

Complaint is made by those who
ought<to be in position to know that
the present headquarters of the FIRE
department are in bad condition. and
that repairs, costing a considerable
amount of money are necessary this
year.
The location is not at all desirable
as 1t is too difficult to get started on
a run because of the fact that the
alley is narrow and corners have to
be turned before the horses may get
fairly~started.
The suggestion is advanced that
the department ought to be located
ON either Main or Pike streets, and
the vacant lot just west of the
building recently vacated by the
Watts-Lamberd Company be acquir-
ed in some manner for the purpose.
From the viewpoint of the depart
ment that would be an ideal place
and 1t ought not to cost very large
sum to have a first class station there.

Bryan was nominated twice by the
Democratic party for President and
was defeated twice. There is lot
of Democratic organs who supported
Parker for one nomination and in one
campaign Just as heartily as they did
Bryan in two. Since they are always
bowling about equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, 1t is pas
sing strange just now that they are
unwilling for Parker to receive the
same treatment Bryan got. Parker
is certainly entitled to another nomi-
nation and defeat before Bryan is
brought into the defeat arena again.
1t may be they love Parker so that
they really do not wish to see him
meet again the Bryan fate.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1908.
Welcome. Doctors!

On behalf of the people Of Clarks-
burg the Telegram extends a hearty
welcome to the members OF the West
Virginia State Medical Association,
I who are gathered here for the forty
firse annual meeting of the associa-
ton.
Without exception the doctors are
as near and dear to the people as any
class of professional men, indeed, full
ly as close to them as the ministers
themselves, who preach the faith that
cures their spiritual ills, If they but
take the prescription, IL we may call
1t such without being sacriligious.
The doctor is one in whom the hui
man race has faith. 1t is he who
looks after the physical welfare from
birth, and, in him and his knowledge
of the human frame implicit faith is
supreme. The sick and afflicted re-
covered ever look to him as their
benefactor and give to him deepest
thanks and highest homage for years
and often times all their lives. Even
in old age they cherish the memories
of the service done them in early
youth at critical stages.
While the doctor is scientific man
one of much knowledge-yet in
most instances that fact is not so
much appreciated as the other, name
ly, that he attends ones ills, and, in
truth studies ones nature, his faults,
his life and is prepared to meet the
situation in the same fatherly way
the parent looks after the child.
which ever feels dependence on the
father and has an implicit trust in
him.
But, the doctor is far more than
that. He is a deliver into human
life, human ailments, and scientific
knowledge applied. To him, he feels
is entrusted the safety and prolonga-
ton of life the same as the soul is
entrusted to the minister.
And, from the program of the pres
ent convention of the doctors, though
We are largely without understanding
as to what it all means, there is ap-
parent and satisfying assurance that
the physicians Of West Virginia are
alert to the latest and best in the
science of medicine and that they are
determined to spread knowledge
along the line of their profession, by
exchanging views. advancing ideas,
reviewing work and being mutually
profited, as well as giving to the peo-
pie the benefits of their thought, re-
searches and conclusions.
For the special and immediate
benefit OF the public they have ar
ranged for general public meeting
at the grand opera house at which
pertinent matters to the public will
be discussed in an able manner, and,
thus do they exhibit an intense in
terest in the public welfare.
And with such representative pro
fessional men meeting in our city this
week, we feel proud OF the honor they
have conferred upon the city, assur-
ing them of a hearty welcome and
feeling confident that our people viii
he greatly benefited by their pres
ence.
Along with the official act or the
mayor the Telegram swings the gates
of the city wide open to them and
bids them welcome.

AS the alley at the fire department
headquarters is not in good condi-
ton at all the "enterprising" street
superintendent might give little of
his vigilant attention to it. The
idea OF having the street team an
hour or so every day, when, 1t is idle,
haul some gravel from the creek
some where might be about right.
There. is no good reason why the
street team could not be utilized in
this manner, with the result that the
alley would be a good gravel thor
oughfare.

LONDON, Sept. I2.-When Queen
Alexandra accompanies the King next
year on a state visit to Berlin she will
be making a great sacrifice. Although
an EngliSh woman by adoption for for
ty-fve years, the Queen is still a Dane
at heart. and the land Of her birth,
bereft by Prussia Of one Of its fairest
provinces, cherishes a fierce resentment
against the land OF the mailed fist.
If the Queen DISCUSSES her feelings
against Prussia and appears friendly
and gracious in Berlin. It viii be be-
cause she regards It as a duty. Her visit
next year will be the second she has
paid TO that city in her life.
