a contest between the amateur play

team had help. Gutteriaz and Ford,

LITTLE DREAMER.


Little Dreamer, in your eyes
can see the old. old CLEAN
Where the World of Glory lies
Out the happy Road of Dream;
In your eyes there leaps the fame
OF the future's star-crowned years
Where the CLINT and glow of Fame
Lights the Swallowed Night of Tears
Little Dreamer, you have heard
Music in the PARKWAY,
Sweeter than the song of bird
Singing where you dream today;
Echo of the bugle call
Of the rolling drum and fife
Where the Troopers storm the wall
In the battle-swirl of Life.
Little Dreamer, in the white
OF the orchards drifting snow,
You have seen fairer light
Than the sun of June can show;
And the blue sky overhead
With its sweep of azure gleams
Looms all colorless and dead
BY the vision of your dream.
Little Dreamer, through the haze
/ remember dreams as sweet,
Back through many Yesterdays
Out the way of weary feet;
Just as you, saw the light
OF the glory world of CLEAN;
Led the vanguard in the fight
Over laurelled walls of dream.
Little Dreamer too knew
In the old, old days of Truth,
All the dreams that come to you,
All the golden dreams of Youth;
But today, across the years,
Looking back from now to then,
], within the Night of Fears,
Dream that am back again
Back beneath the wide, kind sky,
In the orchard, half asleep, =
Where the winds come ssancing by
And The twilight shadows creep;
Just little dreamer there,
In my eyes the old, old CLEAN,
AS wander. free from care,
Out the happy Road of Dream.

MCDOWELL COUNTY

From time to time cheerful in
formation has been sent out from
the 5V.sher headquarters. that their
candidates We're running especially
well in Mcdowell county. One es-
pee ally enthusiastic follower OF the
wigwam convention nominee pre-
diets mat the Swisher ticket viii
have 1000 majority in Mcdowell
and TO-" estimates have placed the
figure below 5000. As there have
been only about 5000 Republican
voters in Mcdowell county hereto
fore The question has naturally
arisen how this could be? In an
other column OF the Intellig nicer
today appears an interesting ac-
count Of some recent proceedings
in Mcdowell county, which throws
a uril light on the situation.
\ very large portion of the vote
in Mcdowell county is colored. Nc
DowcI is the extreme couthern
county Of the state. 1t lies practi-
cally i'm the lap of old Virginia.
whose territory surrounds it on
three sides. Its sole industry is
coal mining and it's mining interests
are dominated by one concerey
of which Hon. Isaac r. Mann
is the head. The question of Mr..
Swishor's majority in Mcdowell
therefore, becomes the question.
how many colored voters from old
Virginia and North Carolina on
election day. and how often and at
how many different places can they
be voted? Mcdowell county is
unique in West Virginia. 1t is pos
sibly the Gully county in which the
negro population is in a large ma
jority and it is certainly the only
county I'm which white men, more
disrcputable by far than the poor
and ignorant men whom they use
and mislead, have organized the
negro vote into club. with which
they expect to dictate to the Re
publicans in every other county in
the state. This club held over the
head of Congressman James II.
Hughes, caused him to swing the
entire postofhce and federal official
br. gade in the Fifth district for c.
w. Swisher. This club held over
the United States senator's has done
more than any other one thing for
thing to bring them into line for
c. w. Swisher. The question is
now, will this machine, controlling
many thousand negro votes or re-
porting those votes as it's leaders
choose, be able to overcome the will
OF the decent voters of West Vir-
ginia? If so then the time has
come for the serious consideration
OF those planks in the Democratic
platform which make for white SOW
ereignty in the state of West Vir-
ginia.-Wheeling Intelligencer.
