DARTMOOR SCHOOL.

Report for the DartmOOr
school for the second month.
Room No. l, on the roll 48;
average attendance Al; per cent
of attendance 100 ;pupiols Meth
err absent nor tardy 20. Room
No. 2, on the roll 30; average at
tendance %; per cent of attend
ance SO.
Our attendance as will be
seen is good, but, we cannot
expect our boys and girls to do
good work in our building; but
the prospects for a good upto-
date building for next year are
good. Our county Superintend-
ent met the general superinted-
ent of the coal company one day
last week and from their con-
versation it looks like there are
good things in store for Dart
moor.
On last Wednesday, Prof. Kit
tleof the Stonecoal srhool had a.
Thanksgiving entertainment
and invited our school to visit
him. His pupils did well and
we enjoyed the trip immensely.
We believe if schools were a
little more social, it would create
a better school spirit. This
seems to be lacking in Mr.. Kit
ties District, not a patron was
present at this nice entertain
ment.
In the language of Prof.
Frank Marsh,"I was surprised"
Last Thursday we hung our
bell on the school house (?) and
now call the boys. and girls to
books with a ding, dong, ding.
On Dec. 10, we will raise Old
Glory.

KITCHENER is IN
ROME UFGtNG ACTION
He Asks That The Italian Troops Be
Sent co Serbia.

Rome, Nov, 26.-Earl kitch-
ener reached Rome today. With
cut an iDstant's delay he STATED
IA the rext great step in his mil
itary mission in the near east,
the enlistment of Italv's active
aid in the Balkans.
Italy has $4,000 men at Az
Iona, but they lie passive in that
Albanian port. Italy also has
large forces at Rhodes, but they
are on waiting orders in that
Aegean Isle.
The British secretary of war
wants these men thrown at once
against the Bulgarians and their
Teuton allies. With these Ital-
.ians in the field, Russians prom
Use 100000 men rushed across
the Bulgarian frontier, and an
army swung up from Gallipoli
to Saloniki, Lord Kitchener feels
that he will be able to balk the
German march to Constantine
pie. He believes he can then
reach Sofia and turn the tide of
war IN the Balkans.
No sooner had Lord Kitchen
er landed from Greece at Naples
than he hurried to Rome and
called on Premier Salandra. To
the latter for an hour he made
his arguments with customary
force.
From the premier, Kitchener
was driven to a conference with
Baron Sonnino, secretary of
foreign affairs. Later he pro-
ceeded to the Italian military
headquarters and conferred
with General Aldmorro, under
chief of the general staff.

wilmington, DEL, NOV. 3D.
Thirty men were killed and z
persons painfully injured in an
explosion in the Pellet Packing
house of the r I. DuPontpe-
Memours Powder Factory here
late this Afternoon according to
an estimate made by the police
tonight.
None escaped injury.
Only seven of the persons who
were at work in that part Of
the factory are alive, which
caused the police to increase
their estimate to 80 dead.
Only two bodies have been re-
covered. 1t is believed that
many Of the others never will
be recovered because they were
blown to bits by the explosion.
The scene in the neiphborhood
of the explosion shortly after
the accident occurred was pa
thetic one. Most Of the women
living in the district had rela-
tivns emploved in the building.
The factory in which the ex-
plosion is the place where the
explosives are taken for final
stages of manufacture. It Is
srnnosed that in some unknown
manner grit found IT'S wkv into
the presses causinc friction and
creatino q shark which brolght

of fourteen miners, who lost
their lives in Mine No. 2 Of the
explosion of a blowout shot,
which yesterday at noon imper-

Soon afterwards rescue par

proper for ladies to be around
the voting places, has lost its
force with the fact, that to the
women may justly be given the
credit of welding an influence
to make more respectable the
conducting Of the ballot, and
that is reasonable grounds to
give them the right to vote, to
get their purifying influence a.
among the voters Of the country.
Some may say, and with rea-
sonable grounds, that there are
rough, uncouth women that will
be around on the day of election,
but has not that been true of the
male sex for the time of which
the mind Of man runs not to the
contrary, but has it not been full
ly demonstrated that today, the
women are making better every
industry in which they are en-
gagged and is it not true that
gentlemen, are more refined and
reserved in the presence Of ladies
than when they are not present,
so that the influence, and condi-
ton certainly will be improved,
and the reason that a woman's
place is at home, we might with
equal force say, the mans place
is in his office, his store, his count
ing house or his farm, in fact
wherever his business calls
him, and so with the women Of
the country, but there is no
reason why the man or the wo-
man should not leave these
places to attend to other calls in
life, and one Of the highest and
most noble is the exercise of
the voting privilege which is a
duty resting upon every good
citizen, and each one should
have equal rights, when it comes
to directing the affairs Of state.
There are some matters, Of a
special Importance to the peo-
pie Of West Virginia, that may
change opinions of many, when
they learn of the neglect Of some
and the specials given others,
during recent years, in the treat
ment of the people of the state
who by chance had to ask for
help, and who got it and who did
not, is the theme that may
arouse interest when it is given
out to the people of the state, as
it will be. and one thing is most
certain. that if the amendment,
extending the voting privilege
to the women of the state, the
public man, who are entrusted
with the grave responsibilities
of state. will look with greater
care after the interests of all
West Virginians without forms
or affection.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

And so man or woman who reads
and quotes the Bible as warrant and
an excuse tor hardheartedness and I'M
charitableness and lack of mercy to
friend or neighbor is reading and quot
ing the Bible to his or her own dam
age, perhaps to ms or her own destruc-
ton. Let the man who goes to church,
who reads the Bltle, feel that it is pc
culiarly incumbent upon him to so lead
his life IN the face of the world that
no dlscredt shall be brought upon the
creed he processes, that no discredit
shall attach to the book in accordance
with which he asserts that he leads his
own life.
Sometimes | have seen all of you
have seen--the appeal made to stand
by man who has done evil, on the
ground that he is pillar of the church.
Such man is rotten pillar of any
church. And the professors of any
creed, the men belonging to any
church, should be more jealous than
any outsider in holding such man to
account. in demanding that his practice
shall square with the high professions
of belief. Such man sins not only
against the moral law, sins not only
against the community as whole, but
sins, above all, against his own church,
against all who profess religion. From
Theodore Roosevelt's address, "The
Bible and the Life Of the People"
