Government Begins Inquiry.

The mystery of why the news Of the sinking Of the Titanic and the
consequent appalling loss Of life was suppressed in transmission from
Cape Race, Newfoundland, for twery-four hours and why the actual
messages that were being flashed across the sea by the Olympic, Car
|pathia, Virginiaian and other vessels were garbled and held back from, an
anxious and apprehensive world is occupying the attention of steamship
and financial circles to-day, and is likely to be taken up in other quarters
that were heavily hit by the Titanic's loss.
X was learned to-day at The Cunard Offices that the two messages
from the Carpatiia, which did not reach the officials of the Cunard Line
until yesterday morning, had been sent to Cape Race at 7 O'Clock Mon

NEW Workers. REST

New York-Onc million residents OF
New York city spend $50, on, nO each year
for vacation, according to the computa-
ton of the American Resort association,
New Jersey division. which has been
making q study OF tho matter. Hotel
registers represent ~ per cent OF this
total.

friend, and the rest Of the million, q
per cent, nave their own cottages, bunga-
lows or camps, or rent them for the
summer.
r. l.. Descaat, manager Of the assOcia-
ton compiling the i!sure.. has learned,
according to his report just made to the
association, that the average length OF
each Individual vacation is u day more
than two weeks.
He has figured all OF those who spend

two weeks and those who only spend
from Saturday to Sunday at al! OF the
resorts on the seashore, in the mountains.
on the lakes and on the farms which, are
visited by New York residents.
Strikes Vacation Average.
Striking an average he finds that tho
average New York vacation is IS days
and that there are approximately 1,O00. 90
persons, adults and children, who leave
tho city in June, July. August and Sep
TENDER for A stay OF more than ono day.
From the most complete figures which
Mr.. Descart has obtained he finds that
the average vacation costs q few cents
less than 50. In arriving at this conclu-
sion he has figured the family that has
the expensive summer cottage that rents
for $1,000 TO 5000 a season.
He also has recognized the automobile
tourists. the s. a week farm boarder and
the hated dweller at $l3 and SIS u week.
To these he has added the money spent
at resorts other than for living. such a.
yachting. riding. dances. fishing and re-

The Windy City friends Of the pres

Master Henry Lincoln johnson and the
bitter attack in the columns Of the
Atlanta independent on Morris. They
regard these actions as traitorous and
are lining up for bitter fight at At

VHE CANDIDACY FOR DAVIS FOL;
SHERIFF.

MT. Thos, j. Davis. Of Montgomery,
announces through the columns of The
Advocate, this week, his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
sheriff of Fayette county.
For the past seven terms Mr.. Davis
has been mayor Of his home city and
was twice justice of the peace for
kanaWha district. His record in both
offices speaks for itself. 80 faithfully
was every duty performed that all
recognize in him that true worth
which qualities one for any office of
public trust
He brought to the Office of secretary
OF the board Of education for his dis
trict the same probity and activity
which characterized his tenure of the
offices of mayor and justice of the
peace, and soon elevated the educa-
Nonal work in that section to a very
high standard. So highly did the
teachers in the district esteem his la
6ors that in their institute held in
December last they unanimously ca
doTsed his candidacy for sheriff, know
Ing that in that office they would be
accorded the same courtesies and re-
ceiye the same careful consideration
for which they had always commended
him
In his home town and wherever else
IN the county he is known, Mr.. Davis
has the peoples respect. He is espec-
tally admired by his colored fellow
citizens who are enthusiastic in their
support Of him, because in his every
official capacity he has always given
them a square deal. They say he IS
the type of man that will reflect cred
1t upon the office of sheriff, to whjc:
he will surely be elected if he receives
the nomination.
The Advocate commends Mr.. Davis
candidacy to the voters of Fayette
county with the guarantee that they
could not find better man to fill the
office to which he aspires.

Greensboro, N c., March 19.-LAst
spring the Agricultural department Of
A. & NJ. college decided to give to
each class in the college plot Of
ground and see which class could
make the greatest amount of truck ON
definite amount of land, each class
having the. same conditions as far as
possible. Each class was given three
tenths OF an acre of land with the
same amount Of manure and ferti-
lizer. These classes sold from their
plots $l'o.2a worth Of truck. The
largest amount was sold from the
Junior class $61.23 from three-tenths
of an acre Of land or $204.10 per acre.
The next highest amount was sold
from the Senior three-tenths, $57.54
or, $191.80 per acre. The Freshman
class sod $3977 from their three
tenths or $1,000 per acre. The low
est amount was sold BY the Prepare
tory students $3.50 for the three
~tcnths- or $1,000 per acre. ..-........ -.
The students grew every. kind of
crop that could be grown in this Sec
ton Of the state. The greatest
amount of money from a single crop
Was gotten by the Junior class $24.2O
from one twentieth of an acre Of to-
matoes or $4S4 per acre, the next
highest was from squash, then fol-
lowed. cabbage. 1t is interesting to
note THAT the highest yields-W We're. got

If Col. Roosevelt is the dangerous

a RERUKE TO DECENCY.

.- If The Advocate had had the gift Of
divination, it would have protested
with even greater force, if not with
greater effect. against the holding of
tho convention at Keystone, Saturday,
by the Mcdowell County Colorcd Re-
publican Organization.
In results the meeting was produc-
tive Of greater evils than We antici:
pated, but We derive no pleasure in
telling it; nor do we feel any sense
of citation because the unwise-though
well-intentioncd-pl of its promo
tors were tnwartcd by the unbridled
ambition Of n man, whose neighbors
say, has no decent respect for the
opinions of mankind.
Howard Harper, representing the
Negro people of West Virginia on the
Republican State Committee! Angels
and ministers of grace defend us! To
what pass are we coming, to what
we would sit mute while every in
stinct Of decency is rebuked by his
endorsement and hardened men turn
their heads In shame.
If Harper is to represent the Negro
people on the Committee, it would be
better by far that they had no repre-
sentation, for, in the minds of those
who know him best, he would reflect
no credit on the race by his elevation
They said at keystone out in the open
and without contradiction that they
could not stomach him. and they have
stomachs not easily turned. The re-
marks Of some might be attributed to
political differences, to chagrfl at
their apparent defeat, but there were
many who were actuated by no such
motives, men who honestly and ear
nestly are striving to lift up the race,
One and all except the nondescripts
with which be had "pached' the con-
vcntion, they protested, but to no
avail. Attention was called to his
close intimacy with Mary Miller while
she diver and to the fact that he was the
chief recipient of her generosity dead
And memory is shocked when it re-
calls the name of Mary Miller the
prOprietress of the most notorious
dive in the Flat Top coal fields.
Doubtless it was with her money,
tainted by the fingers of countless
numbers of her sisters whom she as
sisted to degradation, that his en-
dorsemcnt was purchased and with
which he hopes to secure his election.
But The Advocate does not believe
that the Negro people of the State
will suffer this body Of death to be
placed upon them It believes they
will arise in their might and exact
the full penalty for this insult to
their intelligence and manhood. It
does not advocate the election of any
man, but it will protest against Har-
per, though it left to tread the
wine press alone.

| y NATURAL RESULT,
| The American public is appalled, al
the atrocity Of those Virginia outlaws
who resented the sentencing Of one
of their number TO penal servitude by
| numbering the judge. the sheriff and
it was a deed most horrible, one cal
| culated to shock the most callous
mind
But is an outbreak Of this kind not
TO be expected in most Of the states
at the South and many of those at the
North? Can the close student Of po-
litical and social affairs of the nation
say honestly that he did not antici-
pate somewhere in this country any
such occurrence as that at HillSville
Va? The Advocate gives a negative
answer to this question.
1t, along with all the other Negro
papers in the country and many IF
the well-balanced white papers. has
long since predicted that the indiffer-
citcc Oh the ONlCoFS OF the law and the
white public to the lynchingS of Ne
groes would eventually lead to the in
killing of whites by
whites; that the rapidly growing dis
respect for law, expressed in the il
legal execution Of Negroes for the
of the most trivial crimes.
would react upon those tolerating
such practices.
Virginia is shamed by this tragedy,
and well she may be, for 1t has no
parallel in the annals of American
1istory. Never before were law and
order so openly scorned and justice
set at naught. But out of this evil
great good may come, if the whole
people Of Virginia are brought to a
'ull realization of the peril that lies
in condoning offenses committed
against any part of her citizens; If
they are brought to see that safety
for all lies only in equal and swift
