LOCAL PASTOR TO FAlHmonr
Rev. John w. Brown Accepts call
from Psistine Baptist Church
VIII take Charge Third Sunday OF
Aprii--Grsdusteo OF Brosddus, CroI-
ger and BvcknelI Colleges

Regarding the acceptance Of a call from
the Palatine Baptist church. in Fairmont,
by the Rev. John w. Brown, the popular
pastor OF the local Baptist church, the
Fairmont Times has the following to say
Rev. John Brown. for the past several
years pastor Of the Kingwood Baptist
church, has accepted call to the Palatine
Baptist church OF this city Rev. Brown will
assume his position here the third Sun
day OF this month, April 10. He preached
at the local church a few Sundays past
and made such a fine impression that a
call was immediately given the young
minister. His letter OF acceptance was
received Yesterday by the local church.
He will succeed Rev. George +. Spruill,
who resigned as pastor OF the local church
several months past TO accept call in
Georgia near his old home.
Rev. Brown il graduate of Broaddus
College, Croizer Theological Seminary
and Bucknell University and is well
equipped for this work. In addition to
his unusual educational advantages he
has spent several years in active work "a
pastor Of the Kingwood church and is an
experienced minister. He will meet
with great success i'm his work here.
Ii was with much regret that his church
at Kingwood learned that he was TO give
up his work there. While realizing that
he was leaving to take up his duties i'm a
larger field and while rejoicing that he
was to have an opportunity for enlarged
work they were sorry to loose the services
OF Rev. Brown who had endeared himself
to not only the members of his church
but TO the entire community. Rev.
Brown was raised i'm Kingwood where
his family still resides.
Rev. Brown will take up his labors at
an opportune time. The local church
has made great progress i'm the past few
years and is in condition to do effective
work at the present time. A beautiful
church in good repair and well furnished
with large and active membership, a
growing Sunday school and enthusiastic
auxiliary organizations, waits the coming
of the new leader and it is safe to predict
that under the direction of Rev. Brown
the church will make great progress along
all lines i'm the future.

II a State Republican committee of
West Virginia ever held a meeting and
worked the steam roller to an extent
that characterized the meeting of the
Progressive committee over at Hunting
ton last Thursday, political history fails
70 chronicle it.-Charleston Mail.
IL will be hard for the Mail 10 convince
the unbiased that there was any "steam
rollering' practiced by the Progressive
committee. The committee simply de-
Nliined to amalgamate with the standpat
Republican party, and notified the few
committeeman who favored amalgama-
ton that they must choose between the
standDatters and the Progressives-hang
their gate on either the standpat or Pro-
gressive post. They selected the Progress
sive post. That's all there was TO it.
There was no "steam rollering' INDUCED
In. In fact. there was no division OF
sentiment among the Progressives who
met at Huntington.
We are surprised 10 hear Bro. Bolden
admitting that he is such a poor student
Of history. In order 10 refresh his mem
DRY we will carry him back to 1904 in
the city of Wheeling. He surely has not
: forgotten the State Republican committee.
Of which the Hon. VIM. VI. 0. Dawson
was member, that eliminated the ere.
dental committee and seated the dele
49, lthe first and only time in the
history Of the United States) whom
Taylor Vincent and others alleged we're
elected by the most vile and corrupt
means. We recall the Simpson stable in
Charleston played an active, il not an
honorable part in selecting the Dawson
delegates. Thus it was that they we're
able 10 nominate Bill Dawson over
Charley Teter for Governjr. He was an
example Of "steam rollering' that has
not a parallel in the United states, and
Bill Dawson was the sole beneficiary.
Dawson, who proiessed 10 be q Progress
siye, was also the beneficiary Of the
amalganiatiOn Of 1912 Il was he who
hoped 70 destroy the Progressive party
by amalgamaticn in 1914 We fear Bro.

houncement would indicate that he has
bad premonition Of the earthquake that
IS destined TO destroy the old standpat
party. There has never been a more
consistent standpatter than Scott. He
would always stand without hitching
When the party leaders cracked the whip
lin the senate Scotty fell in line. Once
they rufiied the old man and he said he
was getting tired sneezing every time
the leaders took snuff" But there has
been no record left TO show that he failed
to sneeze when the leaders took their
pinch of snuff. On another occasion
when the insurgents were denouncing the
machine-made state ticket and charac-
terizing it as "rotten," Uncle Scotty ad-
mitted the stencil, but appealed to them
when they went to the polls to 'hold
their nose and vote the ticket straight"
as he proposed to do. Such was his 10y
atty to machine rule. 1t will be admitted
that he was the beneficiary of standpatism
and machine rule, for when his party
was in power in West Virginia he was
honorcd with local and national Office.
Now that the state cannot confer any
further political honois upon him he
leaves the state. May peace and happl-
ness 90 with him.

Editor Argus:
Will You give me space to say to the
Terra Alta Republican and its correspon-
dent C"Clover Hay") that the people OF
Valley district are not illiterates and fools
as Glover Hay" calls those of us who
sign petitions? He holds Mr.. John A.
Rodabaugh up to ridicule and scorn for
circulating petition that men, whom Inc
believed to be honorable and above such
trickery, had falsely represented to him.
There is not better citizen and more
honorable man in the United States than
Mr.. John A. Rodabaugh. His word is
his bond. Can as much be said of the
man who traduces him?
Let me ask the editor Of the Terra Alta
Republican why he gave space TO this
man to SANDER the good people of Valley
district? Should he ever come to Valley
asking fayors we shall surely remind him
OF this act on his part
/ am told that this man, "Clover HAY, "
is public Office holder whom we Repub-

candidate again we will try and convince
him that we are not all fools enough to
vote for him.

Rumor comes from Charleston TO the
effect that the members of the machine
family are not dwelling in that felicitous
state of harmony which should obtain
amongst those who are the sole possessors
and dispensers OF the public patronage OF
this commonwealth. This unhar,nonious
and deplorable state of affairs il alleged
to be due TO one of the staff officers
usurping the prerogative of the General
in the form of debating the distribution
OF the plums and the sailing of the ship
OF state. Many thought that the Gen
erals name was one to be conjured with,
but the staff officer pointed to his shield,
upon which was blazoned, "All names
look alike to me-" Later developments
are awaited with interest, as it is pre-
dicted that the explosion is close at hand.
