ton Of Societies to the Church" Coun-
selor Giles spoke in high praise Of
what each Of these two organized

inclination.
Samuel F. Edmead, Esq, repre-
scented the Peoples forum, literary

vidual members in support Of worthy
business enterprises conducted by the

dress. The outlook for the business
men Of the race was discussed by

publican candidate (white) on the same
ticket for common pleas judge. On
Sept. Z, 1899, Mr. Smith was second
time renominated for the legislature,
receiving next to the highest vote.
There were thirty candidates for the
eight places. His plurality on election
day, Nov. 7, 1899, was over 10000.
Mr.. Smiths work, personal and news
paper, in the interest Of the race and
the Republican party for period Of
more than twenty-eight years is well
known throughout the state.
Measures Introduced by Mr.. Smith.
His most conspicuous work as leg
islator in the interest Of the race dur
ing his first term lin 1894 was the
passage of the Ohio civil rights law.
His mob violence or anti-lynching
law" which is now on the statute
books of the grand old state, overshad-
ows all his work in the general assem-
bly, Of Ohio. For four years, during
the time Senator Foraker was gov
ernor Of Ohio and as a result Of his
favor, Mr. Smith was deputy state
oil inspector.
His bond Of $1,000 was signed by
three Of Cleveland's oldest and most
highly respected colored citizens.
Though born in West Virginia Tin
1863, he has lived since 1865 In Ohio
at Cleveland, where he attended the
public schools. graduating from the
Central high school. No other Negro
legislator the state has ever had has
such a splendid record for work done.
the kind that Is Of practical benefit to
the race No other Is more highly re-
spected in Ohio than Mr.. Smith. Ohio
has the only effective anti-lynching law
in the country. and but one or two
other states in the Union have any
thing at all like 1t.
Indeed. he is the only Negro legisla-
tor who has ever accomplished such
work for the race Mr.. Smith has al
ways welded a fearless and able pen
for right and truth. He has fought
squarely In behalf of his race. demand
ing for It recognition wherever denied.
Though at times he has been severe
" criticised, he has never varied from
what he considered his duty. His re-
cent nomination as delegate to the
state constitutional convention. which
Is to be held In 1912, was most sig
nal honor.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB
ScRIBER?

A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts on what
constitutes a subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that
man who received the paper. although
he never subscribed for it, is entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved,
and William Robinson took imme-
date possession, and received and &C
copied a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently, but no at.
tention was paid to them by Mr.. Rob-
inson. Finally there was day Of
reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he Informed
the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for it. The Judge personally Ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and made use Of 1t and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe In his criti-
cism Of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think 1t worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use of it as an act Of dishon-
esty, he said one should acquaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receives.-X.

MOTHERS DAY
Will Be Observed This Year
White Carnations Will
Be Worn.

!, Mothers Day, which occurs May IA.
will be observed generally through
out the United states, and of course
will be observed in clarksburg, some
of the fraternal organizations having
taken up the matter. The governors
OF eight states have issued proclama-
tons asking its observance and the
mayors of many cities have done
likewise.
While the white carnation is the
Mothers Day special flower, any
white flower will do. Its whiteness
stands for purity; It's form, beauty:
its fragrance, love; its lasting quall-
ties. faithfulness. 1t IS likely this
year that Mothers Day will be OBJ
served by more people in this city
than in any previous year.
