i 0r-~-'"f'~
Bess Ogden's Wheeling Intelligent
Ger, which fought the Republican Ma
chine four years ago in the contest
over the gubernatorial nomination, is
now apparently in full accord with
the purpose Of the Republican Ma
chine to choke of Swisher by foIsting
upon the Republicans of West Virgin
ia one Doctor n. d. Hatfield-a gen.
tleman of great renown by reason Of
his political operations in the black
belt counties of Mingo aud Mcdowell.
Was the Intelligencer ever thus? Has
the Intelligeneer always been the ar
dent admirer of Doctor Hatfield that it
appears to be now2 Let us see.
In August 1908, Doctor Hatfield,
upon the streets of Welcb, the county
seat of Mcdowell, "beat up' an infirm
and enfeebled newspaper man who
had the iemerity to critisize the Doc
tor aud the Doctors actious, leaving
his victim MANNED, covered with blood
and unconscious. Wherefore the
Wheeling Intellgencer used great
many words, and consumed a great
deal of more or less valuable space i'm
describing what it alleged to be the
rottenness of Mcdowell county. And
editorially, the Intelligencer said.
"In another column of the InteIi-
gencer today appears an interesting
account of some recent proceedings in
Mcdowell county which throws
lurid light on the situation. A very
large proportion of the vote of Nc
Dowell county is eoored. Mcdowell
is the extreme southern county of the
State. 1t lies practically in the lap of
cid Virginia, whose territory surrounds
it on three sides. Its sole industry is
coal mining and its mining interests
are dominated by one cor Germ of which
Isaac I Mann is the head The cues
ton of Mr.. Swisher's majority in Nc
Dowell, therefore, becomes the ques-
ton, how many colored voters from
old Virginia and North Carolina can
be brought into Mcdowell county on
election day, and how often and at
how maay different places can they
be voted? Mcdowell county is unique
in West Virginia. 1t is possibly the
OILY county in which the negro popu-
iation is in large majority, and it is
certainly the only county in which
white men, more disreputable by far
than the poor and ignorant colored
men whom they use and mislead, have
organized the negro vote into club,
with which they expect to dictate to
the Republicans in every other county
OF the State.
The question is now, will this Ma
chine, controlling many thousand
negro votes or reporting those votes
as it leaders choose, be able to over
come the will of the decent voters Of
West Virginia?"
And now the Intelligencer 10 ready
to lend helping hand in it's hope
that the Republican Machine may sue
coed in its scheme to put in the gov
ernor's chair the man from .McDow-
ell county, who all know has been the
political beneficiary of the rotten con-
ditions so exactly depicted by the In
telligencer.
Therefore, we ask wherefore the
change of heart?

ieus questions that have come to me
relative to the work of conducting the

Everything will be done for the
pleasure and encouragement of the
applicant, that liberality and justice
will permit. No discouraging feature
will enter into the work that will mar
the ambition of the boys and girls.
All necessary information will be
given by tho examiners for the pre-
paIation Of the manuscript. Every
pupil will be placed on his own honor
and merit Pupils will not be permit
ted to use books, notes or help of any
kind. After the examination begins,
teachers and visitors will not be allow
ed to communicate with the applicants
until the manuscripts on that subject
have been taken up. The examination
will be under the supervision Of per.
sons who do not have pupils on exami-

Like thousands of others, the drug
-cafeine-in coffee was slowly but
steadily undermining her nervous
system and interfering with natural
digestion of food. (Tea is just as in

c%offee.)
