TAFTS CINCINNATI SPEECH.

. Allen Temple is one of the finest
colored- churches In the city of Gin
cinnati, and recently Mr.. Taft was
escorted thither by deputation of
the ministers of the Ohio conference
of the. A. M e.. church; ana made an
address, from which we give a few
extracts: .,..' ..'..'.
He was there, he said, Ito express
his sympathy with the Negro race in
its struggle for better things. A
sympathy, which l have had from the
time | was suaIl boy, for I inheeit-
ed it from my father, Alphonso Taft.
The colored race never had better
friend than he" ..!
The writer of this article can at
test, from personal knowledge, that
such was the fact. 1t is pleasant to
note Mr.. Taft's reference to educa-
ton for the race. He said:

energy and confidence possible the

In regard to race riots, Mr.. Taft
said: .
"They are of the most fiendisl
cruelty, manifesting itself in the
blindest and most unreasonable as
saults upon perfectly innocent PEG
pie, simply because of their color.

The above citations will show that
the state has not been neglectful in
making provisions for the welfare of
the WACO Garner. No state in the
union has, by legislation. made
greater provisions for the care, COM
fort, health and life Of its employees
than West Virginia. This has been
accomplished by the Republican
party in the past ten years. Previ-,

FUEL FAMINE
IMMINENT

The danger of scarcity of both
coal and wood this coming winter is
generally realized. Two years ago
an extremely bad famine was the
cause of much financial loss and &C
tual suffering. Causes of that calam-
ity are now almost duplicated at the
very beginning of this autumn, yet
consumers have not laid in one-third
Of the supply they had at this time
last year.
Indications are that the railroads
will not be able to furnish sufficient
cars if the general public delays lay
ing in fuel as at present. Wood and
coal are plenty at this time, but the
danger lies in scarcity of cars when
everybody will be crying for fuel. 1t
was suggested to us that we might
make a handsome profit by laying
in a supply so as to reap a harvest
from the enormous demand and high
prices that are sure to come within a
few months. Our reply is that if we
had sufficient capital to carry out such
plan, we would abandon the fuel
business entirely and select one
in which profits are greater and trou-
bles less. We advise you to place
your order without delay.
