Not Patented.

Cooperation is the keynote In sue
cessful accident prevention work
Many large manufacturers who have
designed accident prevention devices
for their own use have not patented
them in order that others may utilize
their ideas. A large railroad company
which has designed all of the accident
prevention apparatus in use in its ma
chine shops is willing to furnish blue
prints of the devices to those who de-
sire to install them in their plants.

AWAKE MCDOWELL REPUBLICANS AND
SHOW YOUR HAND.

Mingo county promises thru
its political leaders upon the
strength OF the unanimous senti.
ment OF the voters who will be
the real judges, jury and court
Of the election in Novemo Der, to
elect Hon. Edward Cooper to
represent the Fifth COMPRESSION
al district. IL is indeed a graft
tcation To meet the enthusiastic
Repu blicans OF Mingo county
when leaving what is now looked
upon "a grave yard" in poll
tics in OLD Mcdowell. Where
are the Republican leaders?
What are they doing? What has
caused all this apathy? Who are
the responsible individ uals for
this unusual and unheard OF 81
lence, Indifference and uncon
cerny Again we ask. is there q
triple alliance between the lilly
white Republicans, the Progress
ives and the Democrats to do
away with the political standing
and rights of the Negroes who
have always gone TO the front
and fought the battles of the par
~? We hold our ears close to
the ground TO hear the answer.
From whom and what source
may we expect the responses
There is no use trying to hide
your faces and dodge the issue
any longer. IL you are really
Republicans aud want to elect
your ticket you will have TO ge,
out OF your shells. We want
every legal Republican nominee
elected and feel that it is going
to take every loyal and legal vo-
ter To do it against the strong
Democratic sentiment, but to bt
plain and fair we pelieve there
will have to be some tall apollo
gies made by those who branded
all who differed from them will
every imaginable disreputabls
epithet during the Republican
primaries. So far as the Nc
Dowell Times is concerned, we
want TO support the unadultera-
ted principles of republicanism
and deserving Republican nom
inees for election in Novem Der.

Wnite sscvsi this ely in n Off
cial capacity for ab)ut six years
and during that time he was a
faithful servant, u1chllging par
ty man and a loyal friend One
OF the chief chacacteristics VIII ich
endeared hin II his in.im ate
friends was his great love and
extreme devotion To his parents
and sisters. he felt that his life
was not too great a sacrifice To
make for them. In politics he
was a regular Republican who
was ever true to his party. He
gave OF his time and means un-
stintedly and without complaint
to insure the success of his par
ty. He was a loyal friend, and
stood unhitched with his friends
through any and every trial or
emergency ever loyal, always
faithful.
Mac White often injured him
self by helping others and most
OF his worse political enemies
were those whom he had helped
most he gave of his time and
substance To help others. Many
are the people whom he has
shown kindness and extended
favors and many of these same
people were disloyal and untru e
TO him, but he was too magnan-
lmous To harbor a desire for re
venge and oftimes he would
