Williamson is to be congratulated
on Securing through the Colt Lyce-
UNI Bureau very fine course Of

ing of two musicals, the Orphans

In putting on this course of lect-
ures and entertainments for the COM
ing fall and winter, we wish to state
in the beginning that this course
was not put on for the purpose of
making money, but to give our peo-
Pile the opportunity Of hearing those
lectures and entertainers whose mes
sages have an elevating and purify
ing influence. 1t Is an effort to
bring to our door and place within
reach of all the richest gems of sci
ence, history, literature art, orato-
ry, etc.
A single lecture has often changed
the whole course of a~life. In se-
lecting talent for this course we
have chosen lecturers whose MESA
ges will inspire our young men and
women with desire to take part
in ambitions proud race.
This is our home. Our interests
are here; our children will be reared
here, and as the years go by we
will live In the atmosphere we create
here. Shall we join then in the sup
port Of this Lecture Course?
In this Introductory notice we
will not comment at length on the
merits of the talent engaged for the
season, but will do this from time
| to time as the numbers appear on
the program. We will say however
| that the talent has been selected with
care and is among the best on the
Aemerican platform
A committee composed Of the fol-
lowing named persons is backing
| the movement.

1T is with sadness that we chron-
icle the death of the young daughter
of Mr.. D. F. Walker, of this city,
from diphtheria, on Saturday morn
ing last 1t was only sick for a
short while and the death from this
dread disease was not expected. She
was a bright and sweet little child
and we hops has gone to a happier
sphere. Our entire community will
extend their sympathies to the be-
reaved parents and relatives.

WATCH OUT FOR
ILLEGAL VOTERS
THEY ARE ARRIVING.
Strange Negroes Are Coming, So
They Say.

They Say.
Strange negroes are coming in to
almost every town in Mingo couun-
ty. They are not being brought in
by the carload, as they were at the
time of the election two years ago,
but they are coming in small gangs
and are being scattered about at the
different coal works. What they are
coming for can not be stated, but
the Democrats are going TO- be on
their guard when the registrars sit
for their final consideration OF the
registration lists and when the cpun-
ty court sits to correct the lists.
Should there be any attempt to reg
lister these negroes when the coun-
ty court revises the lists OF voters,
vigorous protest will be made against
the proceedings by the Democrats,
and court proceedings will be insti-
tuted, If necessary to protect the
ballots from frauds.
Tn some precincts the Republican
registrar has refused to serve with
the Democratic registrar and each
has made his registration separately.
In some precincts the Republican
registrar has ON his list as many
as 200 names more than the Demo-
GRAFT has in the same precinct. 1t Is
understood that in some cases the
Republican registrars have merely
copied the old registration lists OF
two years ago, when SO many lille
gal voters were listed and voted that
Congressman Hughes and his coun-
sci were compelled to admit in their
defense Of the right of Mr.. Hughes
to a seat in Congress that the vote
Of certain precincts in Mingo county
was SO VIGOROUSLY fraudulent that
it should be thrown out and it was
thrown out by the Republicans and
Democrats alike of the elections
committee of Congress. Democrats
will undertake to see that these IL
legal voters are not registered, and
If they are that the proper legal
punishment is meted out to those
who make false affidavits as to Their
right to vote.
With. an honest ballot in Minge
county, it is expected that the DEM
ocrats will have majority of some
thing like 500 i'm the county. But
II as many as 200 Illegal voters are
registered at single precincts u
would be, difficult to give "a Demo
cratic majority. However, with the
utmost care being taken to prevent
such practices as have marked Min
60 county in the past, and through
watchfulness, it is the belief of the
Democrats that a fair sized MAORI.
ty for the Democrats may be expect
ed in Mingo.
AN possible precautions are being
taken in Mcdowell county also Y
prevent the Illegal registration O
voters and no pains will be spared
to see that the registration Lists are
not padded by the county court az
ter the lists are turned in by tn,
registrars. 1t is believed that botf
Mcdowell and Mingo counties vii
give good accounts of themselves
and that the result of the election
will be a surprise to those who ARK
not familiar with the situation.

~votion. and solicitous pare and attention
