Foreigner Had / cure d
Negros Enmity And Is
Shot Dead

Ambushed by negroes, party ot
fifteen Greeks and Austrians were
heid up early Sunday morning nea,
Bandy, Va. and fusilade of pistol
shots fired into the crowd. Several of
the bullets struck Michael Ugowych
and he was instantly killed. None of
the other foreigners was injured.
From the stories told by the for.
eigners it appears that Mike Cgowych
who was foreman in one of the con-
struction camps on Dry Fork exten-
sion, incurred the enmity of some of
the negroes and on last Saturday
night, after he had secured his nav.
and was walking home in company
with number of other foreigners, the
party of negroes rushed in OH the
near the spot where Grover Lambert
was killed few months ago. The
foreigners, not wishing any trouble.
dispersed in all directions. but the
fusilade of bullets was too quick for
Ugowych, who was not able to get
away, and who it appears, was mark
ed man. His riddled body was after
ward picked up and it was found that
not satisfied with killing him, the ne
groes had manned the body. and
especially the head, with stones and
sticks, after the friends of Ugowych
had disappeared.
ugowych is survived by his widow
and their baby, which is still unable
to walk. The man had been married
but little over year. His remains
were brought to Bluefield Monday for
burial and religious services being
conducted by Rev. e. Oliver.
The negroes, according to advices
from Tazewell, have not been located.
They escaped to the mountains imme-
diately after the shooting and as far
as IS known have not been identified.

Needs An Organ"

The Sunday School cause should
have State paper, an "organ" for
the dissemination of Sunday School
news, and to forward the great work
in the State. Each State should have
such a paper-some of them have al
ready. Each religious denomination,
or some of them, has State paper,
through which the cause of each de-
nomination is forwarded, but this is
inadequate. Several of the demon ina
tions have Sunday School Associations
but these are scarcely adequate. I'm
less denomination is numerous and
srong county or even state organ
izattion is too weak to be efficient. AS
a matter of fact few denominational
Sunday School Associations have ever
been of great power in this State.
Many counties in the State have nev-
er had one or can have one, owing to
numerical or other weakness. 1t must
be admitted, that generally speaking
the State Association, which is inter-
denominational, has not been felt all
over the State, as it should be. Among
other hindrances has been it's lack of
means for the dissemination of litera-
ture and information. There should be
a combination of all the denomina-
tional county and State Sunday School
Association into one strong State
Association, where only methods,
means and plans are discussed, and
which, consequently, would not at all
interfere W tn denominational teach
ing. And, then, it would be possible
in this same Office in which the paper
is printed and issued, to publish me-
cessary literature for free distribu-
tion, something seriously needed.
There are men in this country who
have more money than they know
what to do with, and more than they
are using wisely. What better use
could such men put their money to,
than the establishing of a good, live
interdenominational Sunday School
weekly in this State? The cause is
worthy of the highest and best. All
other causes have their "organs, -
except the greatest of them ali, SUM-
day Schools.
