DIR. BARNETT FOR COMMIT
TEEMAN AT LNKGE,

On its first page The Advocate pre-
SCENTS the likeness of Dr. G. G.. Barnett,
of Huntington. who announces his
candidacy for committeeman at large
c. the Republican State Committees
d. Barnett needs no lengthy intro
uurto9 TO the people of West Virginia
because those Of them acquainted
with the political and medical history
OF the race here. know Dr. Barnett,
ana those who know him respect him
10: his ability and worth. For years
he has been practicing the profession
OF medicine at Huntington, where his
sklil is acknowledged in medical cir
ries by both colored and white In
polltlrS he has been extremely active
ever since he returned from school
and has made his weight felt in the
decision of all questions affecting the
race.
In Dr.. Barnett, The Advocate finds
The tyre of man such as il thinks RI,
race should put forward for places OF
trust and honor. Fully qualified, hav-
ing the respect of his neighbors. en-
utIed TO preterment by his past ac-
tlVltles. he combines within himself
the qualities seldom found in thos )
who aspire to places of power.
In sense, the Negro people of West
Virginia will be on Trial on June i.
the date of the statewide primary
election. This will be the first oD-
portunity ever offered them 10 choose
from among their number men to 81
IN the highest council Of the party. !;
oeho0VeS them to exercise their power
with extreme caution. They must be
careful to select two men who will
tall short in no respect, men who vii
be able 10 measure up with the best
on the committee. Such 4 man is DR..
Barnett.

Che of the race journals is trying

terrible happening at Hillsville, Va,
where desperate men tried to wipe
OUT the court. The crime was too
awful to think of as an offset 10 any

way. What happened was the result
Of the determination of desperate
men to protect one OF their own at any

other way. The court was determin I'll
