SPEAKER ADVOCATES SINGING OF ENGtI ISH
Mrs. Adele Laeis Baldwin Pre- diets Beautiful English Songs Will Then Be Produced.
anaot1s Young Gornposer Is Her Accompanies At Lecture Here.

Mime. Adele Laeis Baldwin of the Institute of Musical Art, New York, and Pau1a Tieejns, the gifted young composer of .sTne Wizard of Oz,' and cther music made up the program of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical club lyesterday. Mrs. Baldwin gave an in teresting lecture recital on ssDfction in Song and Speech during the course Of which she advocated most strongly the singing of English rather than of foreign tongues. She said that at one time Italian was the singing people arose and said that they want ed the .mutteTsprachen'' sung and the result was the beautiful songs of Shu- bert and Schunann, and the speaker predicted that were the English speak ing people to do likewise they would experience the same result.
 .sWho knows how to speak and how to breathe, knows how to sing" said Mrs Baldwin, quoting famous teach CT of singing in opening her lecture.
 As for beauty of voice, one of the necessary parts of the study Of dic- ton, moderation of tone is very essen tial. The voice plays a large part in the personality often making it either attractive or repeIiant.
 Mrs. Baldwin scorned the ..vox Americana.' particularly that Of the women renarking how inapplicabIe 
 stIer voice was ever low, soft and gentle, an excellent thing in womarl.''
 Mrs Baldwin illustrated how much further a singing tone in the voice will carry than a shouting one, by repeating the different street sounds of various countries where the vend- ors have unconsciously taken on the singing topes.
 Paul TieteJns was received with much applause. His accompanying of Mrs. Baldwin could not have been more perfect, and there were many in the audience who were disappointed in not hearing him in a, piano solo.
 Two exceedingly charming numbers of the program were the compositions of MT. Tietjens, the words being writ ten by E. Tietjens, his wife, these were ssBlind'' and "Woodland Love Song B both of which have been recently. pub Hshed.

The brazen attempt OF the new ring TO
disfranchise four thousand voters in this
county is roundly denounced by every
honest liberty-lovins man. And TO think
that John w. Watson would be a party
TO it, man who is a candidate himself
trying to keep Off all candidates who
were running against him. Here he sat
as judge, jury and evidence and rem
dered the verdict against his opponents.
Never again can John Watson hope TO
have the confidence Of the Preston county
people. AS for Frank Parrack and Vester
Dunn they are known as politicians who
believe that all is fair in politics. But
John Watson was looked upon as an
honest man who had been supported by
Democrats when he ran Tor office, be-
cause they felt that he was honest and
competent. To fall into trap set fCr
him by the politicians and lose the con.
fidence of the people is something tina,
Mr.. Watson is going to feel keenly in the
years TO come. He should be defeated

Washington, Oct. 20.-The alleged If
fort of George NJ. Bowers 10 line no for
himself the aspirants for postmastershps
in the Second district of West Virginia,
by asserting that through personal friend
ship the simaster General will allow
him TO name tile post,nasters in the Sec
ond district il he is elected to C,nyrpss,
will amount to nothing. The Postmaster
General himself has asserted that no
promises OF any kind have been made by
him TO Mr.. Bowers, thus exploding the
whole scheme of Bowers to get all as
pirants for office to support him. Just
what has been brought out in regard tn
the matter can be seen from the following
letters exchanged by the Postmaster
General and Congressman Brown. Under
date Of October Z, 1914, Mr. Brown wrote
to the Postmaster General "a follows:
My dear General Burleson: George
NJ. Bowers Of Martinsburg, w. Va, who
was formerly fsh commissioner, j. my
Republican opponent. am reliably in
formed that he claims to be personal
friend of yours and that while he was
fish commissioner rendered to you many
personal favors, and among others he es-
| tablished for you in your district one OF
the most important fish hatcheries in the
United States and permitted you to man
it with your friends, and that by reason
OF this personal favor you have promised
him that il he is elected you will permit
him to name the postmasters in the Sec
ond Congressional district OF course,
| feel certain that these statements are
unauthorized and without foundation.
but will certainly appreciate letter
| from you that can show to those whom
he has attempted TO deceive and carry
away by these representations. ~
The reply of the Postmaster General.
dated Oct. 10, 1914 and bearing his own
signature, is as follows:
MY dear Mr.. Brown: / am in receipt
of your letter of October Sth. cannot
express my establishment at the state
ments therein contained. Surely there
must be some misunderstanding about
what Mr.. Bowers has said. In the fist
place, the fish cultural station at San
Marcos, Texas, in the district formerly
represented by me in Congress, was es-
tablished years before became amember
of Congress. In the second place, until
| received the information from you SET
forth in your letter of October Sth, did
not know that Mr.. Bowers was candi-

The Agricultural Show

We invite the attention of our readers
to the splendid list of prizes offered at
the county agricultural show 10 be held
at Kingwood on next Friday and Satur-
day. Some new features have been add
ed this year which we believe will make
it much more interesting as well as pre-
senting more fully the great agricultural
possibilities we possess. Few counties, il
any other in the state, possess such
variety of climate and soil and this, too,
combined with extreme richness i'm most
sections. Because of this variety, the
farmers are thus able to raise a variety
of crops. This fact lends interest to an
agricultural show since the various crops
commonly produced over an area as
large as an entire state may be shown
as profitably grown somewhere in the
county.
Fruit will be exhibited this year for
the first time. Perhaps never before i'm
the history OF the county has such "A
wonderful crop of fruit been produced.
The exhibit therefore pomses to be large
and is warranted by the liberal rewards
offered. The poultry exhibit, too, will
be distinct feature this year. There
| are many fine hocks of chickens in the
| county and scores of our farmers should
present pair or trio, not only because
of the possibility of receiving a liberal
prize, but for the sake of awakening a
still greater interest i'm this most profitable
line. The exhibit will not be confined
to thorough bred stock, therefore do not
hesitate to bring your best specimens OF
such as you have. 1t is hoped that a
| county association for the promotion of
this industry may be organized
The intellectual part is not forgotten,
and arrangements have been made with
a number of prominent speakers to be
present and address the people. On Fri.
day evening at 1880 Prof G. r. Dorsey
OF the West Virginia University will de-
liver an illustrated lecture in the court
house. On Saturday at 1880 there will
be addresses by Nat Frame and other
prominent agricultural experts. In. the
afternoon at | 80 Prof. Frank Marsh OF
the Department of Schools and Secretary
| OF the State Bond OF Regents will deliver
| an address. Prop. Marsh has travelled
extensively in Europe studying agricul-
tural conditions there. He is man of
pleasing personality and very interest
ing public speaker. You cannot afford
to miss this address.
Finally, If you cannot attend in person
and bring an exhibit do not fail to send
one or more by parcel post or by some
friend who is coming, and help make

The late Charles ]. Golf, who was a
brother to Senator Golf, in writing to a
Republican congressman about the fur
seal scandal in Alaska, said: 1T will give
the Democrats war whoop in the COM
ing campaign and one that will bear
fruit" And because Golf was an honest
man and would not close his eyes to the
fur-seal stealing he was summarily re-
moved from Alaska and sent TO Montreal.
Such men as Charley Golf were not
wanted under the fish commissioner.
