morning session was held. When they
had finished their numbers on the pro-
gram and the presiding officer attempt
ed to go on with the business of the as
sociation, there was one continuous
ovation on the part Of the audience
so much SO that the presiding officer
was compelled to ask the students to
sing one more selection.
The following editorial which ap-
peared in the Charleston Daily Mail,
reflects the general opinion Of those
who were present concerning the part
taken by the students:
''One of the most distinctive features
Of the state Sunday school convention
now In session in the capital which the
delegates will carry away with them
will be the musical part, especially the
part taken by the young men and
young women of the West Virginia
Collegiate institute
This delegation from the foremost
colored school for higher education
among the colored people of West Vir-
ginia came up In a body and occupied
special seats provided for them at the
First Methodist Episcopal church and
at the armory Music Is OF Of the ac-
complishments of the colored race.
The colored people take to music as a
duck takes TO water. and 1t Ia music
too. Strong and rich, sweet and soft,
the range is wide enough to take In
every requirement and to satisfy every
demand of the ear attuned to melody.
And not only to the visitors from
all parts Of the state was this achieve
ment In harmony n revelation. Those
, at home were also on the list Of the
surprised and joined heartily In the ap-
plause and commendation which were
given the institute delegation earnestly

Collegiate institute, and the state,
which supports the school, has a right
to be proud OF the showing they made"
President Byrd Prillerman Is highly
gratiied at the uniform courtesy with
which the students were treated
throughout the entire days proceed

and the ushers treated not ally the
school. but all other visiting members
OF our race at the sessions with abso-
lutte fairness. The occasion really
marks an epoch in the history Of reh-
gious gatherings In the south.
Mrs. Elizabeth NJ Mitchell, the COM
petent music teacher of the West Vir-
ginia Collegiate institute, deserves
much credit for the efficient manner In
which the students had been trained
for the occasion.

VILLAGE DONATES LITERALLY
TO AID THE RED CROSS
(By Associated Press.l

BERLIN, Feb. FL proportion to
its size, a little village in the Province
of Brandenburg, claims a record for
patriotic zeal The town has not quite
700 inhabitants, but according to the
burgomaster's boast, it has contribut-
ed nearly $1,000 toward the Red Cross
gifts for soldiers and care of widows
At the outbreak of the war every man
of the village paid his war tax in ad-
vance, without accepting the rebate
which this action entitled him to.
Twelve youths of the village volun-
teered for service on the first day of
mobilization; eighty of the men went
off to join the army, while since the
war the 200 or so women of the town
have knitted nearly a thousand socks
shirts, wristlets and other comforts
for the troops, besides collecting more
than a thousand pounds of wooden ar
ticles during single week.

Churchwell's big store in Americas

chase of fifty cents made during
March the purchaser will be given a
check for a five cent drink at either
the Howell Pharmacy, Hooks Phar-
