no fire apparatus in the town, the
people quickly responded and form

gained too mnah headway and but
few of the household goods were
zsaved,
Seeing that the building was
doomed the FIRE lighters turned their
attention to the adjoining residence
Of Frank Bell, where by the aid of
wet tarpaulins and the bucket bri-
gade on the roof the house was saw

OFFICER NELSON IS
DEFENDED BY PASTOR
Pastor of His Church Writes
Communication About At
tack Made on Policeman.


Messrs. Editors:-Haviug noticed
in certain paper. published in this
city recently, an article published
with great and bold head lines. re-
fiecting upon the character of two
citizens of the city, both of whom are
members of my church, through
your esteemed paper l desire to say
the following in reply to the article:
Had this much space been given
to say some good word concerning
the progress of our people in trying
to better their condition, or con-
cerning some worthy cause, we feel
that 1t would have served far bet
ter purpose. than that of trying to
besmirch the reputation and charac-
ter OF two respectable citizens OF the
city, upon no other foundation or
cause than the cheap political game,
as practiced by negro hating rebs,
who envy a man, a position, as cheap
and undesirable as policeman, be-
cause his face happens to be black.
The charges that have been made
against Officer Nelson, by Mr.. Har-
bert, who was arrested for drunken
ness, are not unusual. for such per-
sons do and say far worse than this.
1t is SO strange that a drunkard, and
one arrested in that condition. could
have so much prestige in a court of
justice, and until the matter has been
carried farther, we shall certainly
not be satisfied with such a verdict,
a verdict founded upon evidence CIV
en- by a man arrested for drunken
ness. and corroborated by only an
other jailbird.
What is justice coming to?
have known Mr.. Nelson, and as his
pastor, desire to say that know
him to be only Christian and a gem
tleman. AS secretary of our church
he has handled for years, every PEN
ny Of our money, and, then again,
he holds many positions of trust and
honor in fraternal organizations
among our people, and If he is a
thief of the worst type, We all wish
to know 1t, and 1t will take better
evidence than that OF drunkard or
a jailbird to convince us.
The whole thing looks rather tame.
It's a pretty cheap game 1 have
said nothing concerning Officer Far
mer, because he was not even on
duty at the time, and our correspond
ent had published an apology. cor
recting his vicious and bloody
article. We propose to not let this
matter drop here untll justice has
been done.
We feel that our city officers
should be protected in the lawful
performance OF their duties. whoever
they be. and they should not be at
the mercy of drunkards. jaIIbirds and
the like We have chief OF po-
lice, and a city government, and If

TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO REV DIR. HUDSON
At Well Attended Meeting Of
the Brotherhood Of The First
Presbyterian Church.


The meeting OF the Presbyterian
Brotherhood last night was well at
tended. a very large number Of mem
bers being present. After the regular
order Of business the Rev Or, W. NJ.
Hudson made a very Interesting ad-
dress. that was greatly appreciated
by the members; It was a talk that
VIII be remembered by those pres
ent and WIN be great help ana benz
etit to them The following address
was delivered by one Of the mem
bers and was ordered entered in the
minutes Of the meeting,
.'Mr. President:
"A distinguished writer of our
country once said that he found it
more difficult to do the shings he
should do than to refrain from doing
the things he should not do. We re-
gret that both these conditions are
ever present to be overcome. but our
chief regret on this occasion Is that
we have not given DR. Hudson a
more energetic support in his minis
try here.
This shortcoming, however. has
not been for want OF appreciation OF
his worth and work. 1t is only am
other instance of the frailty Of human
nature In failing to take advantage Of
the great opportunities that present
themselves
DIR. Hudson's direct work among
US will soon close, but its influence
VIII go on forever. and as we look
back through the years of his labors
with us we must realize that Gods
hand was in the events that brought
him to us. And so we must believe
also that the same omnlsclent hand
is with him still and has chosen him
for field of wider influence and Of
even greater responsibilities, where
his unassuming daily life among his
fellows, his character, his intellect.
his distinguished ability and depth Of
learning, will have wider opportunity
to the benefit of church and state.
"A call to the presidency of Yale
or Princeton could have meant
great educational qualifications,
scholastic greatness; this call means
all these and much more. He goes 10
the scene of his childhood and aspir-
atlons of his early manhood to be-
come the head of his almamater, that
old classic institution that we associ-
ate with the grant of Penn. whose sa-
cred. ancient orthodox halls are re-
nowned for traditions of learning.
And he viii soon be an alumnus
of another kind mother. This church
will never loose all claim upon his
career. Here he developed his in
dividuality as an effective preacher
of the Gospel, here he married his
good wife, here is the nativity Of
their little Leslie. the birthplace Of
his Immediate family. We look for
ward to still greater achievements in
his life and shall every follow him
with rejoicing, at his success.
In an address delivered recently
we heard DR.. Byron w, King, build |
city beautiful out of the words and
deeds In the lives of those around
him that he loved and who loved
him. They were the members Of his
home and its environment It In
cluded his work, his life, his joys and
his sorrows. his disappointments and
his successes, and If we move the
years along until we can look at the
retrospect of DR.. Hudson's life we
see city beautiful"

CHARLES Al SUTTON
FOR CIRCUIT CLERK
An Interesting Sketch Of t1e
Candidate and His Fit
ness for the Office.

Charles A. Sutton, candidate for
circuit clerk Is one of the leading
young attorneys Of the Harrison
County Bar, having taken his law
course at the West Virginia university
where he graduated with honors. !,
Mr.. Sutton received his early edu-
cation in the public schools OF the
county and prepared himself for
teaching in the Fairnont state nor
NAL school, and later attended the
Wesleyan university at Buckhannon
from which institution he was grad
uated In 1902. Mr.. Sutton acquired
his splendid classical and legal edu-
cation through his own endeavors and
there are but few young members OF
the local bar who are better equip
ped from an educational standpoint
than is Mr.. Sutton. For several
years he was one of the leading
teachers in the public schools-of this
state and was held in high esteem by
his fellow teachers.
Mr.. Sutton has been a life long Re-
ppblican. Coming from a Republican
family he early in life imbued with
the principles OF that great party, and
has always been found in the front
ranks advocating its policies, and
working in every way possible for It's
splendid achievements and victories.
His father, the late John Sutton, of
Bridgeport, served four years in the
Union army and for over forty years
was found working for the advance
ment of the Republican party.
Mr.. Sutton was born and spent the
greater part OF his life at craigmoor,
in Elk district, therefore has at heart
the interests OF his native county.
He believes in the policy of his party
which guarantees to every Republi-
can the constitutional right to ask
at the hands of his fellow citizens
any office within their gift OF which
he may prove himself worthy or com
petent.
Fhe office to which Mr.. Sutton as
pites is in u certain sense a tech
nical one. 1t is claimed by his friends
that an attorney at law can
fill this office to Ngreat-
er degree of satisfaction to
all concerned than a layman. This
is point decidedly in his favor.
1t is the desire of the Harrison coun-
ty bar association. ut least among the
Republican members that an attor-
ney be nominated and elected to fill
this office,
Mr.. Sutton in discussing his can
didacy for the circuit clerkship said:
MY only desire in asking for this Of
flce Is that. If nominated and elected,
may be able to conduct the office in
a satisfactory way. giving it my en-
tire time and attention. 1 solicit the
support of my friends and ask that
they personally investigate my quaiifi-
cations and fitness for this Ollie. in
asking the Republican party for this
nomination l am actuated. 1 trust by
that broad sense of American man
hood that asks for nothing more or
less than square deal. My record
as true ana loyal Republican Is
open for the inspection of ALL"
Mr.. Sutton is a young man OF pleas
antly and friendly address and is uf
an obliging disposition which emf
nently qualities him to meet and serve
the public in an official capacity.

The pumps will resume operations and he will open the reduction plant and have everything working when they come. MT.

Mir. Twiichell is working hard to accom- plish this and feels sure that Kelvin and Ra.- will soon he as busy as bees. Good luck to Mr. Twitchell.
 MT. Twitchell. MT. :. DeMund and other prominent men of this locality are very much interested in he coal fields located twenty miles from Win kelman at the Carlos river and Deer Creek Junction.
