NEGRO LECTURER TALKS
AGAINST HIS RACE FIGHTING

Dana sous. Va, April ga negro
named Joseph Simms, claiming TO be
from Augusta., has gotten himself
into trouble here. About two weeks
ago his posters were scattered over
Damascus advertising a lecture to be
given by him in the negro church.
The posters gave him high recon-
mendations. from prominent men and
journals, as lecturer pianist, soloist
humorist, etc A few white people
paid the price of ticket, and were
admitted to the lecture. 1t was
thought strange that a man with such
recommendations should stop at
place with such small negro popu-
lation. 1t is said that during the lee
ture, Simms made many unpatriotic
statements, urging, it is claimed, that
the negro had nothing to fight for in
this war. Town Sergeant George w.
I.arimer put Simms under arrest. and
took him before Commissioner j. j.
Stuart, of Abingdon. where he was
placed in Jail in default of $1,000
bond, to await the United States
court. which convenes May I.

CHARLES HENRY

When a mans death is mourned by

because there was in his life some
strong characteristic which harmonic

high measure that eminent trait of
childhood -inquisitiveness. He was a
student always and 1t was said, could
have occupied with distinction any
chair in the college which he served

was much more than merely inquisi-

was able to awaken and direct their

Peoples Forum
Cornmends Senator Mapp.

Editor Nirginian:
Sir,--'The announcement Of his can
didacv for the nomination to MI the
vacancy in the First congressional
district of Virginia will no doubt be
hailed with welcome by tho many
friends and admirers of Hon. G. Wal.
ter Mapp
While no dispa cement Of any
contestant for this high position is
here meant or implied, it is a patent
fact to the unpreiudiced and informal
constituency that the distinguished
senator from Accomac is no mere ap-
prentice in statescraft His record
as state senator is highly credita BILE.
He is recognized leader in that high
body. AS a leader. Mr.. Mapp COM
bines in happy proportion both Arm
ness and fearlessn'ess. Surrender of
principle is foreign TO his nature, His
plume waves calamity in the thick of
the worth while fight and he has al
ready linked his name inseperably
with some of the best legislation ever
enacted in the commonwealth of Viz
ginia.
Should this fit and highly deserving
young statesman of Accomac be in
vested with the congressional toga,
IT is safe to say the best traditions
OF the high office would be fully sus-
tained and the district we'll repre-
scented. Though porarily an
exile" from the Old Dominion and
active participa ton in her elections,
we welcome Senator Maps candi :
dacy and wish him the success that
is his due.
Respectfully.

Tense. He has, however, since that
announcement, found ample time to
comply with tho request Of a former
Republican president to appoint
twenty-five citizens of Virginia to at
tend a meeting in Philadelphia.
Why cannot he ind timo to per-
manentIy organize the state council of
defense?
We believe the firmly insistent sgi-
tation OF this question will compel him
to do So We believe it will compel
him to move to appropriate some part
Of his thousand dollar emergency
fund appropriated by the Legislature
for the support Of the state council
The governor is a sensible man. lie
is regarded as possessing an adroit
political mind. He undoubtedly
knows that he cannot AFFORD to stand
out against the patriotic wishes Of the
people. Last week he began to show
activity by way of issuing proclama-
lions and by paying his first visits to
the camps where Virginia soldiers are
in training. There is every reason to
believe that he will feel Obliged to
respond TO decent public sentiment in
this matter of the state council of de-
Tense.
That body must not be permitted
longer to remain an inpotent force,
not even permanently organized.
We counsel moderation in speech
by those who would give expression
ia the indignation they feel, but VIC
also urge firm insistence that vir-
ginia be placed right among the sis
ter states of the republic.
Tomorrow The virginian will dis
cuss the record of the letter from Sec

directed to the governor, which did
not reach the general assembly

fifth. Its main request has not yet
been complied with. The substance

We know that our soil for the pro-
duction of cherries can not be eX-
celled, the same being true of pears,
peaches and some varieties of ap-
pies and that our vegetables and ber-
ries are in the first class, bringing
the highest prices in the markets.
The farm unit on the western
coast is growing smaller as the popu-
lation increases and because of this,
diversified production becomes a
necessity and the one crop man on a
small ranch is doomed to failure.
In my opinion there is no better
place to start in on a small ranch
than in Ashland where with the best
climate on the coast, as good water
as there is on the earth and a list Of
products that can be successfully
grown on her soils that is almost end
less. Never in her widest attempts
has she ever overestimated what her
soils, climate and waters will do for
the man who is willing to furnish
the energy and brain power.
That her citizens are successful
and most patriotic is shown by the
fact that her quota of the Fourth
Liberty bond issue of something
like two hundred thousand was SUBJ
scribed without solicitation.

CAN A SUCCESS BE MADE
ON AN ASHLAND RANCH?
Editor Tidings:

Editor Tidings.
That Necessity is the mother OF
invention" is an old and true say
ing and as truthfully one might say
that necessity is the father of sue
cess: that the latter is true has been
proven by some of the very success
full citizens of Ashland who came to
Ashland broken in health and with
out means. Having no money with
which to speculate and being COM
PEELED to earn a livelihood in some
way, they chose the small ranch life.
With plenty of outdoor exercise, as
sisted by Ashland's unequalled cli-
mate and unexcelled mineral waters,
their health was soon restored. Fruit
growing to the most of them was a
new and untried business, and not
having the state experiment station
or the county agent to advise them,
the fruit venture was somewhat OF a
gamble. These men soon discovered
that Ashland possessed a variety of
soils, all Of which was not adapted
to the growing of fruit, so they dis
criminated, planting a variety OF
crops. To this variety crop they owe
their success. Needing a number OF
products with which to supply their
own tables and having the adaptable
soils they we're easily produced.
These successful ranchers did not
buy their potatoes from the dry land
farmers of Washington, their cab
bage, onions and beans from the
Japanese growers Of California;
their butter from Coos county dairy
men; their meat from Swift; their
milk and eggs from their neighbors
they produced them on their own
ranch and had some to sell to the
fellows who argued that they could
buy these products cheaper than they
could raise them on their own places
With crop rotation and stock rails
ing these successful ranchers in
creased their land production yearly
When the money crops were short
they came out even or little ahead
while the money crop man who only
produced for the market fell behind

the people of Bridgeport and vicinity
for making the second American Red
Cross War Fund Drive the biggest and
best campaign of giving that Bridge
port has ever had. The noble cause
of the American Red Cross justities
our most hearty support. That the
response of our people to the Red
Cross was as wide as it was generous
is shown by the huge contributions
and general participation by the fac
tory workers and wage earners. In
many cases there was exemplified q
spirit of sacrifice by people who gave
not only until it hurt but to such an
extent that it must necessarily mean a
deprivation of self.
The people of Bridgeport have
made this their own campaign and
have demonstrated by their whole
hearted support of the American Red
Cross their unqualified loyalty to the
nations cause. By their generosity
they have placed Bridgeport in the
lead of all cities in our patriotic state
of Connecticut and very probably in
the lead of any city in the United
States. For this Bridgeport has rea-

The HORRORS OF
ESSEN REVEALED

Prussians, their sleeves rolled well
above their elbows, each grasping the
hideous looking five thonged lash,
knotted and tipped with a thin piece
of metal which cut, into the flesh.
THE BULGAR'S HEROLSM.
A start was made with the Hunga-
rian, who had to receive thirty strokes
4 was only a few feet away, and the
swish of the lash as it cut through the
air filled me with terror. Keplenki
made no sound as the blows were
rained upon him. 1 watched his face
closely, and could see that he was suf-
fering the most intense pain. He bit
his lips until the blood flowed, but
he courageously suppressed any groans
until the punishment was nearing its
close. Before he had received the
twentieth lash his back had been ter
ribly cut, and the blood was stream
| ing from the wounds.
The crowd gazed on in silence, the
only sounds being the counting voice
of the officer, the awful swishing of
the whip, and the heavy breathing of
the whippers, who seemed to glory in
putting their last ounce of strength
into the task. Keplenki's face was as
white as a sheet, the man groaned
once, and his head fell forward. The
rest of the blows fell on his senseless
body. Then having received the thir-
ty lashes, he was taken from the post
and carried away. It was clear from
this that the Hungarian would never
be able to stand the daily inf1iction OF
such brutal treatment.
1t is impossible for me to describe my
feelings as 1 stood fastened to the post
my hands above my head, awaiting my
whipping. 1 was chilled to the bone
and my teeth were chattering.
How 1 retained my self-control
know not. 1 remember steeling my
self and chnching my teeth, and vow
ing, that, like the Hungarian, I would
never allow the Prussians to have the
satisfaction of hearing me groan il
my agony. Almost before I knew the
first lash fell across my back. The
wicked tongues cut deeply into my
flesh, and created a feeling as if q
dozen small knives were stahbing into
me. The blows were delivered slow
ly and deliberately, and this ONLY
served to increase the agony, for af
ter the first couple of blows the stab
bing sensation gave way to a dull
aching, tearing pain.
