Headquarters at Charleston.
Before the convention adjourned a
meeting Of. the new state committee
was called for eight O'Clock in the as
sembly room Of the Kanawha. A
good many of the members selected
were present and the deliberations of
that number took several hours. Will
liam M. o. Dawson was selected as
chairman, against his protest, H. b.
Buster was named secretary and Grant
p. Hall, treasurer. It was decided to
have the headquarters in Charleston.
A place will be selected soon and &C
tive work will be begun.
A matter which was not discussed
in convention was that of the relation
of the new party to the state and
county candidates nominated on be
Republican ticket, but 1t was found
to be the sense of the committee to
have a full ticket In the field and
those on the Republican ticket who
indicate a willingness to go on the
new ticket will be permitted to do so
and their names will appear. Some
expression will have to come from
the nominees however, before it will
be decided as to the makeup of the
Moose ticket.
The committee empowered the
chairman to select a committee of
seven men, either from the commit
tee or from the outside to act as or
ganizers in the various counties. They
will work In conjunction with the
committee and will have the assist
ance Of the committee individually
and collectively.
A resolution was adopted empower
ing the chairman to select a commit
tee to appoint colored members Of the
state committee, one as a representa-
tive of each congressional district.
TIE chairman and secretary were
empowered to select q suitable party
en- 3lem but that Fill not be done I'M
til after the convention is held in
Chicago, and If national emblem is
selected it will be adopted in West
Virginia, otherwise this state Will
have an emblem of it's own.
The state committee will meet at
the call Of the chairman.

Thyroid Extract Enables lad to Pace

DR.. George Alexander Gibson, the
famous physician, lecturer and author
of many works on various diseases,
narrated at meeting Of British med
ical men at Liverpool a remarkable
instance of treatment with thyroid ex-
tract.
A boy Of eighteen who was anxious
to enter Woolwich Military academy
was debarred On the ground that he
was too small in stature, being an inch
less than five feet.
DR.. Gibson treated him with the
thyroid extract, and in six months he
grew seven inches and gained high
place at his entrance.
An examination showed that his cer-
ebral functions had not been disturbed.

HARMONY NEWS.

Harmony, April 13.-The easter SER
vice at this place came off last Sun
day night. A very large crowd was
in attendance to witness the recita-
tions. The little children acted and
recited their pieces we'll and the ac-
companying music was real fine, and
we think our organist, Miss Joe Bal
cntine, and the choir deserve praise
for making SO fine music all from new
pieces. Mrs. Mamie Balentine, Miss
Sudie Medlock and others deserve
complimenting for being so success
full in training the little "wee" tots

every particularly. Every one pres

"Blackguardism of Blease."

AS Southern gentleman is one
who has too much respect for the
other sex to insult it's members TO
offend their sense of propriety by
language that belongs to the lower
order of humanity and by the en-
ployment of references that in their
very nature are gross. Therefore
the outbursts Of Governor Blease,
of South Carolina, are to be repro
bated as wholly opposed to any
true feeling of consideration for
womankind and as actuated by a
lack of sense of responsibility TO
law. This follows from the South
ern Governors own consignment of
the Constitution to Hades.
Views like those of Blease ad-
vance no reform, they promote no
interest, they affect no good. They
are views of men who above all
other things set their pride of opin-
ion and in so doing would accom-
plish very much harm were it not
for the fact that the violence of
their language causes reaction
against their opinions among
thoughtful persons.
As long as Blease's blatherskite
utterances are tolerated, occasions
for lynching will continue and the
record Of lynching will blur the
fame of Southern centres, for such
ut:erances are destructive of law
and order, and such destruction in
evilably works out wide circles of
crlminality.
