John II. Barr will give an outing to
the EnoD, Stumptown, and Syca-
more Bands at the old home place
on Sycamore.
Mr.. Tulleys force of hands are
getting out some nice building
stones on Philips run to be used in
the pier work of the bridge Mt
Grantsville.
We met our old friend G.. w.
Maze at county court. Uncle
George is one of the pioneer men of
our county, and as good as the
best
Lewis Vannoy and Rev. NJ. L,
Hall deserve the thanks of the
people of Steer creek for the push
in them. They have bought pair
of Registered Durock hogs. Lewis
has also fine Herford bull and
Holstien COW. More power to such
public spirited citizens.
We see in the News a letter from
Democrat" of Dodrill who seems to
be grieved over the political situa-
ton in our county. Let us say to
brolber Democrat that he is not
kelly to get all he wants in this
life, nor all he deserves III the next,
If he is ''Demccrat" he must be-
love in majority we'll as applied to
government. What can we hope
to gain by voting the Republican
ticket, bat dog tax hunting tax and
keeping lot of hangers-on in Office
who do not know anything but
graft. Some say G.. Warren Hays
will sell us out Let us Cor argu-
ment say he might do so. So mig bit
Tell; but here is the difference
Ii Warren got $50. 900 he would
come home and make his friends all
a good iime But if Tell got $4,000
it would simply go out of circula-
ton. But honestly we don't think
either would sell us. As TO Kidd, be
did not stand pledged to vote with
the Republican maj ority. The Re-
publican party was the majority
party and refused to submit the
prohibition amendment TO vote of
the people. Why furse aud kick
Kidd when the Republicans refused
your petitions. Let us use good
judgement and stand by our friends
L is useless to have ideas unless we
can have IA representative of them
Will the Republican party give you
redress? No! For bread they will
give you serpent.
OBSERVER.
This communication was held
over from last week,
The colored brothers who me-
in convention at Atlantic City
last week did not exhibit the
heart-swelling devotion to the
| G. o. P. which was to have beer
expected. On the contrary they
seemed much inclined to kick
over the party traces. The At.
lantic City conference was a
gathering of the Independent
Political League, which is de-
clared to represent the advanced
thought of the most progressive
negroes in America. They
scored President Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt for their infa-
nous juggling of the Brownsville
affair, and for the way the Taft
administration has side-tracked
the colored brother" The pres
ence OF lnsurgent brethren, who
set forth in resolutions that in
dependents of both parties, like
Cummins, Murdoch, Folk anC
Sulzer, can depend upon the sup.
port of great numbers of discrim.
mating negroes, caused a mild
sensation. A Virginia delegate,
in outlining some Of the reasons
assigned for the creation of ar
Independent negro party said
Since all political parties are
content to compromise the status
Iof negro citizenship in this
country and to agree that the
negro shall be ruled and not gov.

quitting these parties and organ.
