Correction Of Last Weeks Day Items

For the Advocate.
We wish to suggest to some OF these
staunch church members that make
mountains out of mole hills, that they
had better look into their topic more
thoroughly before going so far as to:
publish it.
We will admit there was a skirmish
on the home diamond last Sunday one
week, but it certainly was not as black
as it was painted so it is necessary
for us to correct and criticise some
OF your statements But first let me
tell yQur good author hadn't you
better take ia the future sunday bah
games and get things straight instead
Of staying away and getting them from
some gossip. who takes a pleasure
in emphasizing. And shall ] say,
stretching the truth. Also let me ad
wise you to look after your neighbors
or perhaps relatives and preach a lit
tie to them about their stocky fingers,
before neddling with your neighbor-
ing town, then, maybe our balls would
not disappear. We think If a person
wants a thing bad enough as to take
it without permission, (note the soft
pedal why, let them have it. Per-,
haps he took it for a good cause, for
we do not condemn anyone without
a hearing.
There was little argument be-
tween two brothers, but there were
positively no blows struck between
them. We want to state that Wood
bine certainly didInot start the fight
which caused so much excitement and
unrest in the community for they, have
not that kind of a reputation. Also
the young ladies of this town knew
their place, as neither joined in nor
had tear dimmed eyes as stated, for
they had enough confidence in their
friends and home town boys to know
they would stop it as soon as pos
sible and their interference would
only make matters worse. There
we're a few young ladies from outside
who grew hysterical and ran to the
rescue; tho we do not condemn.
We wish to inform you that Billy
Sunday preached John Barleycorn's
funeral in Norfolk, Va, about year
ago, so it was quite impossible to
state that he was present at the game.
There may have been some ~Old Hen"
it would be more likely; perhaps you
can tell us, for you seem to know and
let us know where it comes from and
we will most assuredly try and put
stop to it.

Another Death Added TO List in
West Virginia Mine
Strike Region.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va. Dec. T.
In the "No Mans Land" Of the
Mingo County Mountains there has
been another killing, the first since
military control was established a
little more than a week ago.
VICTIM WAS ON bail.
1t occurred at Breeding, about sorty
miles from here. The victim WAS John
h. Marcum. who was at large on
5000 bail after arrest on charge OF
shooting a man on November 3.
Marcum had been shot In tho back,
according to the report which 10 re-
ceiving most credit here. Tho slayer
shot him from ambush sometime after
dark and his body was not discovered
until early morning.
According to one report the opinion
prevails at Breading that Marcum
was shot by a detachment of tho West
Virginia constabulary while trying to
avoid arrest. but no report of tho
shooting had been made to constabu-
larry headquarters at Charleston.
The body was found on a railroad
track not far from a water tank. and
the presumption IL that the assassin
had shot Marcum from behind the
taHk. lie appeared 10 nave DccH KILL
ed with shotgun at close range.
SECTION IN QUIET CONTROL.
Aside from this killing reports from
the region of military control this AFT
ernoon indicated that everything was
quiet. The operators lately formally
demanded military protection from
Colonel Hall in charge of the Federal
troops for mine at Goodman. near
not far from this town.
The general impression here today
is that with tho protection afforded
by the Federal troops and tho statute
against the carrying of arms more
rigidly enforced the operators, re-
CARELESS OF what attempts are made
to bring about n settlement of the
strike through negotiations, will try
to break It, Negotiations. according
to a view attributed to them, would
imply in way recognition OF the
United Mine Workers, for their repre-
sentatives would of necessity be n
party to any conference held.
Regardless OF any Developments
that the future may bring short of a
new and successful effort on the pa TT
of the union officials to bring abo 1T
a shutdown Of the mines. of which
at present there appears to be little
prospect, the operators have not
thought. of recognizing the union.
They are laying all their plans to beat
the strikers and believe n victory is
not far of.
