ANNOUNCEMENT.
Greatly Improved Train Service,
Chicago & Northwestern

chicago a. Northwestern
Railway.
With the Inauguration of summer
schedules effective May 23rd, the
train service Of The Northwestern
Line in Nebraska, Wyoming and the
Black Hills district will be very
greatly improved.
A considerable improvement in
the afternoon service from Omaha
to Norfolk, Long Pine, the Black
Hills and Wyoming will be made.
The through train to the Black
Hills will leave Omaha at 8: 55 P. NJ,
affording connection with train No.
8 from Chicago and the east in the
Omaha Union Depot. Additional
service will be supplied between
Omaha and Norfolk Jet, by local
train leaving Omaha 2:15 P. M. and
Missouri Valley 2:45 P. NJ, handling
all local business between Omaha
and Norfolk This will also handle
business to the South Platte district,
to Lincoln, Hastings and Superior
and intermediate points. thus reliev-
ing the through train to the Black
Hills and Wyoming.
The local service between Lincoln
and Fremont will be improved. The
morning train will leave Lincoln at
1880 A. NJ, instead of 1900 A. M,
making the same connection for
Omaha and Chicago as at present.
N In - "a ctr
service, a motor car service will be
inaugurated, leaving Lincoln each
evening, except Sunday, at 4:45 p.
NJ, arriving Fremont 700 p. NJ,
connecting with train No. 800 for
points on the Albian line and leaving
Fremont 7:10 A. NJ, except Sunday,
arriving Lincoln $3.50 A. NJ.
Further additional service will be
provided west of Norfolk Jet. by the
Inauguration of train No. T. leaving
Norfolk 1880 A. NJ, daily, for Chad
ron, giving daylight service.
East-bound, a new train to be
known as No. 8, leaves Long Pine
1880 P. NJ, Omaha 1890 P. M.
This is an addition to the train
service now in effect, and provides a
service of three daily trains between
Omaha, Norfolk Jet and Long Pine
and two between Omaha and. Chad
ron.
Another improvement in the SER
vice is the change in the schedules
of train No 4O4, from the Rosebud
country to Omaha, which will leave
Dallas at 1880 A. M, daily except
Sunday, instead of 1880 P. NJ, and
will arrive at Norfolk Jet. at $50 P.
M. to connect with No. 8, arriving
at Omaha 1920 P. M.
On the western division one of the
principal features will be train No.
2. which will leave Lander $500 A.
NJ, instead of 1880 A. M, daily, and
will have sleeping car from Chad
ron to Omaha, arriving Omaha H.
10 A. NJ, making through connection
with train No. for Chicago.
In the Black Hills district, train
No. will leave Deadwood half an
hour later, $3.50 P. NJ, instead of
600 P. NJ, giving an opportunity for
supper before starting, arriving Oma-
ha as at present.
1t is believed that the announce
ment of this new service will be re-
ceived with popular approval, prov
ing of much value and assistance in
providing for the growing require
ments of the North-Western's patrons
and in keeping pace with the rapid
progress and commercial develop
ment of the territory tributary %

We are glad to note the fact that
Editor ]. G. Gilmer. of the Charles
toF Advocate has been re-appointed
Librarian rof West Virginia for the
full term Of four years, dating from
March 4, 1909. Mr.. Gilmer's selec-
tion by Gov. Glasscock is a wise one,
because the former is leader among
hfs people, possessing great ability,
and ID IA every way eminently fitted
for the manifold duties which viii
devolve upon him in the position Of
Librarian. He enjoys the enviable
distinction, Of being honored by two
governors, %former Governor Dawson
having appointed him Librarian to
fill out the unfinished term Of the
late lamented Hon. Samuel w.
Starks. We could go on lauding our
good friend, but it is unnecessary.
In conclusion it can be said of him
that he Is a man of many parts and
will reflect credit upon himself. the
state and the race In mis- conduct of
the Office which has just been en-
trusted to his hands for the second
Press.

HILL. TOP
WILL REMAIN SITE OF w VA
SEMINARY AND COLLEGE.
Oner of Saua Dixon to Give Fifty
Acres is Declined ON Receipt of
Similar Offer From Others at Hill
Top Making Change Unnecessary.
(Fr0m Sentinel.)


In course of the last three or four
weeks the West Virginia Seminary
has not made much Roadway towards
REBUILDING. Just at the point Of
time when one or two car loads of
material had. arrived at the station
and the building committee was
ready to begin the erection of the
walls on the old site, there came a
proposition from Mr.. S. Dixon, of
Macdonald, to donate to the colored
Baptists Of the State Of West Virgin
la for school site SO acres of land,
with the privilege of buying more,
any where it might be selected on
either side of the White Oak branch
of his road. At once q locating COM
mittee was called to select site, and
the executive and trustee boards
were called to meet at Hill Top to
hear and adopt the report Of the
committee.
At S:45 a. M, June 18th, the COM
mittee, composed Of members from
Huntington, Charleston, Mt. Carbon,
Hill Top, and other points, arrived
at Red Star, and being met there by
the president Of the Seminary, they
kept on to White Oak Junction,
changed cars and went to Oak Hill
Here they left the train, and under
the lead Of Mr.. Brumham, who has
charge Of the White Oak Fuel Com
pany They looked over several
cites and then visited what is known
az the old Faulkner farm" With
this the committee was completely
charmed regarding it as one Of the
most beautiful sites to be found any
where in West Virginia. They felt
that hitherto the Lord had led them,
and so several fervent prayers Of
praise and thanks were offered. Then
| the committee took the train and re-
! turned to Hill Top. Having d1ned,
they met at the First Baptist church
at 3 o'clock. Some others had arriv-
! ed. They delibrated on every phase
OF the proposition. All members OF
+ the boards. 80 far as they had ar
| rived, we're unit as to what was
their duty. The next day, June IS
appointed for the joint meeting Of
, the executive and trustee boards
found each we'll represented and al
work on time. Such members as hat
not been in the meeting the day be
fore were permitted to hear the re-
Communications OF the President anc
The advocate. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1901-1913, 1909-07-22

to acquaint themselves with the
views expressed and the action taken
by the members who were present
earlier. They were also given an
opportunity to express their views on
all phases. of the proposition after
which they voted unanimously to &C.
cept the fifty acres OF land, and an
acceptance committee of i've was ap-
pointed to accept the donation form
ally, When a satisfactory deed was
given. s''
Before Mr.. Dixon could have the
land surveyed and become ready to
issue the deed, the Jones Brothers,
Of Oak HILL and Star, came forward
with counter proposition, Offering to
the Trustees for the colored Baptists
of West Virginia fifty, acres Of land
at Hilltop and to give clear deed for
the same with other privileges. Mr..
Dixon was seen by Mr.. C. T.. Jones
and the president Of the school, and
at once the Boards were summoned
to meet again.
They convened in the = afternoon
and night Of July 6, and after con-
sidering both propositions carefully,
they decided for several reasons the
Jones Brothers proposition to be the
better, and being Informed that MI
Dixon was not uDiavorable to the
change, they voted to roscind their
action accepting the Dixcn proposi-
ton and voted unanimo usly to &C
ceDt the Jones Brothers proposition.
This brings the school back to Hill,
top where it will doubtless remain
from generation to generation. i"
The schol now in It's rebuilding
will be located on the highest ridge
Of Hilltop, almost in the center OF
the farm where it commands the
splendid view of the White Oak Val
ley and all that charming develop
ment and landscape view, stretching
away towards Hinton. The building
erected here will be high and, dry
with ample front yard and back cam.

Saving His Hide.

The Baptist Herald, the organ of
the Virginia Baptist State Conven-
ton edited by Pres. J. r. L. Diggs,
Of the Virginia Theological Semi
nary and College, takes a decided
stand for the discontinuance of the
practice Of comforting the degrees Of
Bachelor Of Arts and Doctor Of
Philosophy as honors, but it pulls
out the pianissimo stop and speaks
softly on the more widespread evil
of scattering promiscuously the Doc
tor Of Divinity degree.
One does not need to be endowed
with extraordinary perspicacity to
see the Herald's reasons for touch
ing SO lightly upon, and handling so
carefully, the D. D. question. The
Virginia Seminary and College, Of
which it's editor is the president, is
denominational school, supported
almost wholly by present or pros
pective d. DIS, and their congrega-
tions. President Diggs, probably
had this in mind when he wound VI
the two column editorial with the
following reservation:
Let US remember that the degree
OF D. ID. is not in question. There
are peculiar reasons for the course
q the schools have taken in this mat
ter. Let us have fewer of these but
no more Of the others mentioned
Let us raise the standard anywhere
In some future editorial we shall
point out the reasons for the con
ferring Of the doctorate in divinit.
on our prominent clergymen, but i
is not the purpose Of this article.
Let us raise the standard
The Advocate heartily endorse
the Herald's plea for a higher stand
ard, but it fails to see why Their
should be any exceptions to thj
higher standards for learned d.
grees," and 1T awaits with no litt1
impatience the reasons for the COZ
IeTTing OF the doctoTate or d1Vlnlt
on our prominent cIergymen," man
Of whom do not know the di7erent
between a Greek root and q swe

Z originally written have as mut

"A Way Out.

The suits entered in the courts
OF Georgia, North Carolina, Ten
nessee and Louisiana by the white
Knights of Pythias against the Negro
organization bearing the same name,
are furnishing, food to the thinking
members of the defendants for seri-
GUS reflection.
That these suits will terminate ad-
versely to them there are no rea-
sonable grounds for doubt. That
the white Knights in other states
will take similar action in the near
future, is also equally apparent.
1t is, then, condition and not a
theory which confronts the Negro
Pythians.
What are they going to do about
it? Their opponents have an I'M
limited supply Of money to prose-
cute these suits. They are able to
employ the best counsel. The judges
are all white, and no Negro sits on
the juries. What chance, then, pray,
have the defendants?
- The plan is now, as We understand
1t, to appeal all adverse decisions of
state courts to the United States su-
preme court: but unless the supreme
Justices experience wonderful
change of heart, they are as likely to
decide in the Negroes favor az is
the Bartholdi statue Of Liberty to
do Salome dance. And even If the
courts all sink their prejudices,
there are yet the state legislatures
whose enactments touching the Ne
gro are governed neither by wisdom
nor. by justice
All hope excluded thus, and the
Pythians had as we'll look the mat
ter squarely in the face, the time has
now arrived to consider other rem
edies, to turn from the impregna-
BILE stone wall, and to seek another
road to their goal. The chief OBJ
tections to their existence being the
name they bear and the emblem
they wear. The Advocate suggests
a change OF name and of emblem.
The present name Is not essential to
the well-being of this great organi-
cation Of Negro men, nor is it's en-
blcm Indispensable. If to change
can be done at less cost than the
defense of these suits, in the name
of common sense make the changes.
1t is not an exhibition Of coward
ice, but, rather, Of the highest type
Of wisdom to abandon a position,
the further occupancy Of which spells
defeat.
