a town even in darkest Louisianny where
the movie had not penetrated.
There are ten of the new stories illus
trating varied phases of negro life aad
character, such as messing in matri-
mon" and pickaninnies, betting on
horse races and baseball, "getting relig-
ion" and being as good as they can be
when they are told they are all going to
die, and unending interest and implicit
faith in "charms" to ward off evil, such
as snake dust in the boots, buckeye in
the pocket or buNard's feather in the
cap; also "raw pertater, de toof Of
boss, or de foot Of mud-turkle." As we
read: "Whut a niger don't know CANT
never hurt him; but eff he knows whut's
gwine to happen, he amt never real sapis-
fed till it comes to pass" Skeeter Butts
pays a dollar for dream book, which
forces the melancholy conclusion flat
"Nothin' good don't never happen to a
niger" For example, in regard to tubs:
"Ef it be filed wild water, you hab
evil to fear; an empty tub signify trouble;
an to run against one, sorrow.'
"Donkey-f you see him runnin',
brings misfortune; if he is tied, you will
experience great loss; if you hear him
bray, signifies death"
The opening story, S"Diada, Daughter Of
Discord," contains remarkable character
ization, Dada having been rescued frJm
one Of those cannibal islands in the South
Seas, where "1ong pig" is the favorite
dish. Dada is described as horrible to
look upon, but DR.. Means succeeds in
making the poor creature an object of
pity, even if she is not made in the image
of God. As one Of the "niggers" says in
an eloquent attempt to describe Diada:
"Her looks like us niggers- bout
fawty-1eben times morep Dada is not an
incentive to liberal subscriptions for for
eign missions.
There is good fun in this book for any
one who has ever lived among the negroes
in their native settlements, where Tuskegee
has never been heard of and could never
hope to be pronounced. Any one who has
an affection for the real negro of the
South-kindly, lazy, polite, crap shooting,
singing and laughing, superstititous,
grandiosely malaprop, religious, scrap
ping, and on occasion razor slash;ng-will
like this book, for it is this negro to the
life and also the language.

from Marseilles to patrol the Adriatic and

when the French retire it is the prudence

''More E. K. Means" Negro Tales

"HERE is something to be said for
i calling books BY the names OF
writers instead Of by titles. As tho pub
fishers Of More Z. K. Means, stories OF
the Louisiana negroes, say, in the process
Of time titles are forgotten and only the
names Of the writers survive Thus
Esop comes to stand for fables, Shake
speare for plays, Macaulay for history,
Emerson for essays, and so on. The GUS
tom, if applied to contemporary writers,
would at least be of valuable assistance to
readers on that long road they are for
ever travelling hopefully, only constantly
to be lured off into false bypaths and sell
dom arriving at the desired destination.
For example, "more .Elinor Glyn" would
be all that some readers would need in
the way Of warm recommendation Of
book.
The reason E. K. Means is so success
full with his stories is not so much that he
knows the negroes and that he likes them.
He does not make fun of them. but they
make great fun for him. After reading
Means, understanding the negro is real
lied to be as difficult q business as under
standing Russia In the most amusing
story in the new collection, Every Pose
Picture, the story of an all black film,
Southern Colonel asks the moving picture
manager If he knows negroes, and when
he confesses that he doesn't the South
erner says he has his sympathy, init
mating that trouble is ahead of him; but
how much trouble the Colonel himself
probably did not realize.
In the movie mans interview with the
Revun" Vinegar Ats, to solicit his aid
in getting the all-coon cast together, the
Revun" does not understand q single
word the white man is saying and the
Northerner fails completely to get the
trend of Vinegar's observations. One
thing is finally made clear, however, that
the negroes will sign no contract. Scratch
ing his name on paper is always sure to
get a colored man into trouble, Vinegar
says, and to land him in the court house,
no matter how many lucky charms he
carries. OFF you pays US eve'y day. us
niggers will wuck. Ell de pay stops,
restin' time is done come" The negroes
also have their ideas as to how pictures
should be taken. No Sideways" pictures
will be tolerated:
"When US niggers gifts our tintypes
koodacked, us is got to show bofe foots,
bofe hands, bofe eyes and bofe ears. We
don't take no sideways picture Ell US
don't show all ourselves, de niggers will
figger dat one eye done got gouged out
or one ear done been cut off. Yes, sub,
OATS So"
The rehearsals, Of course, end up in
real and lively scraps, which keep the
camera man busy, but which produce ex-
cellent results. The only apparent in
consistency in the story, which contains
first class surnrise is that there should be

ROTARY DISTRICT
GOVERNOR HERE

Edwin C. May, of Pittsburgh, gov
ernor of the Sixth district of Inter-
national Rotary, who came here last
evening to give the local Rotary Or
ganization an inspection was quite
generous in his praise, but he did not
neglect to.leave number Of pointers
which, Rotarians say, will speed tne
Fairmont club up not little.
The club meeting was held as usual
in the Y. M. c. A. and began at about
7 o'clock although the time originally
fixed was $3.50. The delay was due 10
lateness of the train which brought
the visitor from Wheeling. Mr.. Mays
address, which was primarily on RO-
tary subjects, did have a number Of
touches which were OF general inter-
est. One of these was his plea that
the sentiment which is loosely called
Americanization be placed upon a
sound basis and made to begin with
the education of Americans in their
civic duties. He said that the rascals
in politics could not fill the offices
with other rascals if all the honest
citizens in the country took the trou-
BILE to cast their votes, and won
round of applause for the sentiment.
MI Mays address made very ia
vorable impression upon his auditors
and was quite extensively discussed
in Rotary circles this morning.

Jews TO Celebrate
CH|EDREN'S FEAST
Festival of Dedication
One of the Most Inter-
esting Minor Holidays.

Commencing on Tuesday evening,
December 16, one of the most inter
esting minor holidays in the Jewish
calendar will be celebrated for perl
cd of eight days. 1t is known as Cha
nukah, the Feast of Dedication, and
being a Joyous home festival, it Is
looked forward to with anticipation
Ny all, especially by the children,
since, to great extent, 1t has become
a children's festival.
The festival commentaries the
stirring events of the period from 1853
to 165 B. c. Antiochus Epiphanes,
the king Of Syria, wishing to unite all
the provinces under his dominion into
one nation, issued decree that only
the Greek religion was to be practiced
thenceforth. He thereupon tried to
suppress Judaism, burned the Sacred
Scrolls Of the law and set up idols in
the Holy Temple at jerusalem. But
the Jews did not submit to his decree.
Instead the resisted, and after long
protracted warfare, Judas Maccabeus,
the son Of Mattathias the priest, sup
ported by his four heroic brothers, de-
feated the Syrians, and on the TWEEN
ty-first day of the month of Kislev in
the year 1865 B. c., removed the idols
from the Temple and rededicated 1t
to the service of God.
Many beautiful legends and stories
have grown up around the Feast of
Chanukah. The most beautiful of
these states that on the day of the
rededication only single cruise of oil
was found ,unpollutel, but this oil,
through themiraculous power of God,
proved sufficient to burn during the
entire period of the reconsecration.
For this reason the festival is kept for
eight days and candles are lit during
the entire period, one on the first day,
one on the second, and so on until
eight candles have been lighted on
the eighth day Many other legends
and features contribute toward max
ing the Chanukah festival one of the
most joyous in the Jewish year.

Marion county was honored by the
grand lodge of Virginia before the
new state was formed by the selec-
ton of Thomas G. Steele to serve IN
the highest office within its gift. The
grand lodge OF West Virginia selected
its secretary from Fairmont for many
years, first in the appointment OF
Thomas G. Steele and later honorng

In 1863 Thomas Kearsley, of Fair
mont, served in the grand lodge as

was elected grand master and in 1880
and 1851 he was grand representative
of the sovereign grand lodge. Judge
