Mr.. Beverly For EIector
{ From Roanoke Times.)

(from Roanoke Times.
Editor The Roanoke Times:
The approach of the State demo-
cratic convention is causing many
men to fall in line for the few honors
that are to be handed out to the
faithful.
The National convention being SO
near, many will desire the honor of
attending as delegates from Virginia.
Being Democrat and 'Virginian
and Wilson advocate. | have no
choice as to whom this honor should
CO. Besides the naming of delegateo,
the electors are to be selected and in
this matter l am particularly inter-
ested as to who will represent the
Ninth.
News has reached me that Mr.. w.
E. Beverly, of Dickinson county, now
located at Rocky Mount, is being
mentioned as elector from the Ninth
district. Being a Ninth District
voter, and knowing MIR. Beverly to be
deserving fman. am prompted to
write few words in his behalf.
Mr.. Beverly comes from poor but
honorable parents. From the log
school house in the wilds of the
Cumherlands he has made his way
over many rough and rugged roads.
From his father he inherited ambi-
tion, and this alone has aided him OH
his toilsome march.
-Four years ago he left his native
county, locating at Rocky Mount, but
on the eve of every election he has
made pilgrimage back to his voting
place, where he has fought the bat
ties of democracy since the day he
was old enough to vote.
Attempts have been made by pro-
minent Democrats to get him to
change his voting place from the
Ninth to the Fifth. The answer he
has always given is "no." Back
among the highlands, where the
lessons of democracy he first imbibed,
there has been something magnetic.
The boys with whom he has fought in
the past he has no desire to desert.
If party loyalty deserves public re-
cognltion, whose claims are greater
than his? Two hundred and fifty
miles from his voting place, he has
never failed to return and cast his
ballot for the party nominees. If per-
sonal sacrifice is personal glory, then
Mr.. Beverly is rich in honor. Paying
his expenses and losing his time to go
back and join the fighting ranks of
the Ninth rather than change his vot-
ing place, has been his practice for
four years.
There are older men, men of more
means, men who have cast more votes,
and fought more political battles, but
none more loyal can be found, if
loyalty has any weight in the matter.
Where Democrats are at pre-
mium and Republicans have no con-
scientious scruples when it comes to
political rascality, he has spent his
life without asking any honor from
the public, and it justly seems that
this honor could be bestowed upon
him without harm or injury to 'any
other Democrat. While it is almost
an empty honor, it is a nice badge to
young Democrats, and l trust that it
will be the pleasure of the Ninth dis
trict Democrats to bestow this honor
upon him.

A Few Questions

lB iOll.
Mr.. Editor-A resident of Il ip Top
wishes to ask few questions through
the columns of your paper, viz:
Why is it that the venerable, aged
and religious church workers of Ti2
Top have been calmly thrust aside,
while young, inexperienced, irreligious
woman places herself at the head of
our Sunday School as superintendent
Why is it that our church, our
minister. and our members permit
such ignominy? What information
can our members gain by this facre?
Has our church gone to the bad and
our citizens back to the heathenism
of the dark ages? Has the time come
for our esteemed Christians TO be
thrust out and worldlings take their
places? Do not the good people of
Tip Top deserve more consideration?
Are they not entitled to a supernten-
dent who can read and explain the
Scripture?
don't mean to make any insinua-
tions. only ask for information,
which | should very much like to
have.
REPLY.
If these venerable, aged and re-
ligious members of Tip Top" are
like most of the venerable, aged
and religious members" throughout
the country no Sunday School would
be held at all unless some young
woman or young man took the lie d.
We know nothing of the circumstan-
ces beyond what this letter states,
but we do know from experience and
observation that most of the "vener-
able, aged and religious church
members" in the country are not
worth the powder and lead necessary
to kill them when it comes to Sunday
School work. Why did these good
church members allow themselves to
be "thrown aside?" Who threw
them? Is this "young, irreligious
woman" a sort of modern Joan of
Arc, who rules church members
preachers and all, at will? She seem.
to have some power to control folks
She is to be commended for trying t.
do the work which the church seeml
willing she shall, as they "permit'
it. Having said this much, we add
The work of a superintendent is {
mans work-a mans job, if you
can find the man. If not, give tb
place to woman. No irreligious
man or woman should be superinten
dent or teacher, in a Sunday School
Spiritual things are spiritually dis
cerned." The saints, and near saints

by Columbus Shufort, also a negro,

Shuford had not been apprehended by
the police, who were searching for him.
The trouble occurred about 10 o'clock
last night.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by the officers, the trouble be-
gan because of some remark that Dean
claimed Shuford had made about his
sister some months ago and when the
two negroes met, Dean accosted Shu-
ford about the matter and the ditti-
Guilty ensued.
Drs. Bryan, Mobiles and Bryan at

Goodman was too clever for Mario,

he found that he could stop Marto's
