n CAMPAIGN CANARD.

The black and tan Democrats, il
their futile efforts to throw dust int,
the eyes Of the voters of their race
have resorted to efforts which alon.
stamp them as unit to be classeC
among upright men. They are res
sponsible for the report that Gran,
Hall refused to sell Negroes lots In
his ST. Adams addition.
The writer is in position to brand
this as a lie, because he holds deed
in that very tract for lot bought
by him in the land sale conducted
by Grant Hall. Not only he, but
Miss Fannie c. Cobb, of the West
Virginia ColOred Institute, S. NJ.
Davis, employed in the State Library
c. II. James, the well-known pro-
duce commission merchant, J. NJ.
Hazlewood, whose reputation is
national, and many others were
among the Negro purchasers in the
Grant Hall addition.
There is documentary evidence to
prove this statement, and the Ne
groes who are the authors Of the
report TO the contrary know it. But
they must make a pretense at earn
ing the money which is being paid
them, SO why express surprise that
they hit upon this falsehood rather
than any other? AS has been said
before in these columns, the crema-
tory, where the black and tan Ne
Gro Democracy has it's Headquarters.
does not offer surroundings such as
are conducive to either high ideals
or aesthetic tastes; nor is a man,
whose highest ambition is to be al
lowed to run saloon, to be believed
when he is furthering his own ends.
The Advocate has never. stopped
TO distort the truth for any man or
any cause. 1t believes that the Me-
gro people Of this city, of this coun-
ty and Of this state can best protect
and advance their interests by sup
porting the Republican party and all
It's candidates. 1t believes the Ne
gro peope of West Virginia can i'll
AFFORD to cast their lots with that
party or those men whose ultimate,l
ntention-masked now in Kanawhat
county-is to get into power by fatr]
means or foul and then to perpetu-
ate the power by eliminating the Ne
gro vote.

fREEDMAN'S SAVINGS AND
TRUST COMPANY.

The colored people of the United
States are deeply interested in the
passage Of the bill to reimburse the
depositors Of the Freedman's say
ings and Trust Company by an ap-
preparation by Congress. 1t calls
for over one million and a quarter
OF dollars. President Taft recon-
mended the measure in his first an
nual message, after having it inyes-
tlgated by the Department of JUS
tice
The Honorable J. w. Lyons of
Augusta, Georgia, who argued the
measure before the proper commit
tees Of Congress last winter and has
otherwise been very active in advo-
eating it, wrote President Taft a let
ter in reference to this subject. and
his reply thereto will carry joy to
the heart Of every colored man in
America.

BEWARE OF THE RAPIDS.


If one interested in the political
well-being Of the Negro could place
any reliance upon the promises of
the races arch enemy, the Demo
Graf, he could not but view with
much satisfaction the strenuous ef-
forts now being put forth by former
Governor MacCorkle to corral the
black vote.
These long-lost brother stunts the
Democratic candidates go through
whenever they see a Negro voter;
these published signed dcnials of
hostility to his franchise rights; this
publication of a newspaper solely to
show him what Booker Washington
thought of Mr.. MacCorkle's attitude
TEN YEARS ago, would lead the su-
perticial observer to believe that an
entente cordiale has been establish
ed between lifelong enemies, that
the political lion is lying down with
the political lamb and that the
millennium has dawned in politics.
Nay, nay Pauline. here's nothing
doing what you're thinking about
MIR. MacCorkle and his party are
simply batting their hooks with rosy
hued promises with the hope of
catching suckers; they are merely
wolves in Sleeps clothing who find
1t necessary to adopt some disguise
to lul the suspicious aroused, two
years ago, by their ill-advised at
tempt to break into the fold.
The sensible Negro has the highest
regard for the yeracity Of Mr.. Mac
COrkle and Of that Of his associates
He does not believe that he nor they
would wilfully and maliciously mis-
represent their attitude as to the
franchise rights Of the race, but they
fear the Greeks, even bearing gifts
Years Of experience have taught him
Co. that he must look with suspicion up
on all advances of friendship made
by Democrats during political cam
paigns. He knows that political
promises are not to be depended
upon, especially when they are made
by that party which is responsible
for all the DISTINGUISHING and i'm
growing Of his brethren in the South
land.
Mr.. MacCOrklry is undoubtedly III
earnest when he says he is opposed
to the enactment of any law which
will, in its enforcement, debar anv
man from the polls on account OF
his race, color or previous condition
OF servitudC. We grant that he i!
opposed to any such Legislation, but
we can not forget that he was op
posed to the placing Of the anti Ne
gro plank in his partyS platform
mere two years ago, but what did hi
} opposition amount to? 1t was q
