hold a place on the State Republican

''Fighting Benz Davis
Meets His Waterloo

go Re1uses" to Place him at it's Head
Because OF Reputation.
Especial to The AdUocGte.)

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 14.-"F: :ghting
Ben" Davis met his Waterloo here
this week in spite Of his personal ad-
Vertising in the columns of The At
lanta Independent. He went down
hard but he died fighting and thus
proved his right to his title of
"Fightin Ben" even if it was clearly
shown by the best men and women of
Georgia and the best of the Odd Eel
lows in general that Davis md no
moral right to the highest place Of
honor to be given a man of the order.
Coming Immediately after his vicious
and outrageous attack upon Rev H. II.
Proctor of the First Congregational
institutional Church, the def2a- Of
DAVIS seemed like a fitting climax in
the upward career of a man Of un-
doubted ability as a constructive .ead
er but very unsavory reputation as
man. When the Odd Fellows of
America defeated the ambition of Ben
Davis, they saved the order from dis
ruption and preserved it's honor and
traditions.
Ihere is no denying the fact that
Davis has done good work amo.'g the
negroes of Georgia, but the people of
the Empire State of the South have
put up with more than the Odd Eel
lows of America would stand. The
Odd Fellows of the country require
more of a Grand Master than ne men
and women of Georgia with the reins
OF power have required of their Dis
trict Grand Secretary. Perhaps the
masses Of Georgia Negroes Will now
come to realize just what manner Of
man they are holding up to the worlI
as their leader, although it would be-
hard to find his equal for consistent
and constructive work among the men
of the order.
The Odd Fellows of America ac-
complished all they gathered at A.
lanta to accomplish and more. They
taught good lesson to men every
where IN the order and that is, that
q man must stand out as a clean
man, If he expects to aspire to the
leadership Of the Old Fellows Of
America"
Aside from the usual amount Of
STUFF connected with the defeat Of
Davis the B. NJ. G. at Atlanta will al
ways stand out as an event Of pleas
ure and profit to the people of At

Nashville, Tenn, Sept 17.--The new

were enrolled and present.
There was a program Of plantation
songs and short addresses by various
leading citizens and educators of Ten.

President W. J. Hale has the work
we'll in hand and the opening today
was strong evidence that he ia not
only a worker but has exceptional
constructive ability and power as d
school man. He Is receiving the
unselfsh and unstinted cooperation of
the best minds and characters Of the
State and this will go a long way to-
ward the making of the school what it
ought to be in the lives of the N =

young. He is experienced He has
common sense and just enough con-

portunity for public service He has
none OF the vanity and foolish self
conceit that always make failures Of

GOV. VIM. E. Glasscock received
his answer Wednesday to his proposal
to arbitrate the differences between the
coal operators and miners on Paint
and Cabin Greeks, in the Kanawha
coal field. There was q flat refusal
on behalf of the operators to consider
any proposal of arbitration that even
: hhnted at recognition of the United
Mine Workers of America.
While they asserted that tha arbi-
tratlon proposal submitted by the
Governor did not satisfy them in it's
entirety, the leaders Of the striking
miners accepted the plan submitted by
the State Executive. saying in their
answer that While there are some
CT anges We would like to have made.

proposition wrlid not be YOURS and
since W.: fully believe you hav:: only

f4rtunate controversy at heart, and in
TIE interest of peace and harmony. as
'ell as public GOOD, We agree to ac-
ceLt the conditions you have submit
ted to us for consideration"
Answer Is Lengthy.
The answer of the coal barons of
the Kanawha field was Of greatar
length. In it the operators ask for
further information relative to the
question of arbitrating differences in
the coal fields, asserting that they have
no knowledge of any differences except
the recognition of the national organ
lzation of miners, the efforts to extend
the organization to West Virginia, az
cording TO the operators, being sun
ported by the coal operators of ad-
joining states who recognize West Viz
glnia as a factor in the competitive
market
The Kanawha coal operators assert
ed that their acceptance of the pro-
posal Of the Governor would mean
that they would have to 90 into
''bltld' arbitration without knowledge
OF the questions to be arbitrateJ, and
would place them at the discretion of
the arbitrators. 1t would even allow
the arbltTators to take up for decision
the question of reorganizing the United
Mime Workers Of America, the answer
says.
Ready to Consider Question.
Stating that they have but nonunio3
mem In their employ, the operators as
sert that I'VE have always beer, ready
and now are ready to considc.' any
question that might arise between
ourselves and our employees At
p1 esent we have no dill erence or (on-
