The Story OF
Our States
D. JONATHAN BRACE
XXXV.-W. VIRGINIA
@ESH AS T n d
! = ! 6 !: !: !; !
AAe VA plies. West
E9N ~ .A Virginia was
NJ originally
V&0SoGEES portion of
@w Virginia, the
S!.E Old Dominion
Colony. While its history is nat
urally yoked up with that Of the
Mother State. there are many
points in which the two sections
Il Virginia were divergent and
4 WINS for this reason that West
Virginia inally became a sepa-
rate state.
The first white man who prob
ably penetrated the wilderness
q this Western region was John
Aaderer, q German surgeon, who
went on tour of exploration in
l66B- In the same year, La Sale
sailed up the Ohio and landed
Mt several points in the present
state. There was little colonial
um until 1882, when Scotch and
Irish adventures began to fill
western Virginia. They were
encouraged but little, and, in
fact. the King in 1888 declared
that this part of the colony was
Indian country and could not
ughtfully be settled. Colonial
fion continued, however, and bit
rer warfare was waged against
the Indians and the French who
Rad come down from the North.
IA lf74 the battle of Pt. Pleasant
was fought, which was one of
the bloodiest of Indian conflicts.
The backwoodsmen who set
teN in the Western part of Vir-
giniG were entirely different
types OF men from the wealthy
slave owners along the coast.
Jealousies between the two sec
tons arose and the Western
countries felt great dissatisfac-
ton at the way Virginia was
governing them. The most
marked point of disagreement
was over the slavery question,
and 1t was because Of this that,
when Virginia seeded from the
Union in 1861, West Virginia
took matters in it's own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew
up a separate constitution, and
declared their independence.
Their application for admission
into the Union was accepted by
Lincoln, and In 1863 West Vir-
gfnia became the thirty-fifth
gtate.
It is often called the PAN

tial electors.

REPORT ON DRIVE

According to a message last night
fro DR.. John Hugh Reynolds, director

Rev. c. M. Reeves, pastor of the
First Methodist church, said today

WILSON DECLARES
DUTY YET UNDONF
(By the Associated Press,

Washington, May 2s.-Woodrow
wilson broke today the silence he has
maintained since he retired from the
white house on March 4.
In a Memorial Day letter to the
editor Of THE Stars and Stripes"
which was published today in that
soldier periodical, he declared that
the American people "shall not be
able to enjoy the full pride of the
days recollections until we have made
sure that the duties that grew out
lot the war have been fulfilled to the
utmost"
Are we sure?' he asked. "If we
are not shall we not soon take steps
to do whatever has been omitted?"
The full text of the former presi-
dents letter follows:
Memorial Day has always been
one of our most solemn and thought
full anniversaries when we recalled
great memories and dedicated our
selves again to the maintenance and
publication of the nation, but this
year it has an added and tremendous
significance because the memories and
sacrifices of the great world war are
now among the most stimulating of
the recollections of the day.
I'VE celebrate the immortal achieve
ments of the men who died in France
on the field and in the trenches, far
away from home, in order that both
our own people and the peoples across
the seas might be delivered from the
ugliest peril of all history. 1t is our
privilege not only to indulge a high
and solemn pride and grief for the
heroes Of that great struggle but also
to re-dedicate ourselves to the achieve
ment of the great objects for which
that war was fought. We shall not
be happy; we shall not be able to en-
JOY the full pride of the days recol-
lections until we have made sure that
the duties that grew out Of the war
have been fulfilled to the utmost.
care we sure? If we are not shall
we not soon take steps to do what
ever has been omitted?

in the heart of the Florida ever
gladeS, stunning civilization and re-
tanning traditional customs centuries
Old, live the remnants of the once
mighty nation Of Seminole Indians.
In many respects their mode of liv-
ing is still the same as it was before
the time of Columbus. The present
members of the once famous nation
are descendants of that invincible
tribe led by the warrior chieftain
Osceola. The Scminoles are kind to
their families, devoted to their chill
dren. pure in their morals and honest
among themselves and with the
whites. The present members of the
tribe do most of their trading in
Miami and vicinity disposing of furs,
trinkets and other products. 1t has
often been said that the Seminole lives
the ideal simple life. In the ever
glade villages efficiency, competition,
ETC., are unknown quantities. In 1917
the state of Florida granted the In
dams 100000 acres as reservation
lands.

headdress and the great amount of

and the negro Manning were taken
for safe keeping.
Fate of Negro Manning.
The fate of Manning, whose state
ments, regarding the killings resulted
in the indictments against himself
and Williams, was the subject OF
speculation here today and court
house attaches voiced the opinion that
Solicitor General A. M. Brand would
recommend mercy if the negro is
convicted when tried here. .
When the solicitor was asked his
plans bout Manning, he declined to
reply definitely, but referred ques-
tions to the legal code of Georgia
covering persons acting under fear
in committing crimes as Manning
claimed he did. The section reads:
"a person committing a crime or
misdemeanor under threats or men,
aces, which sufficiently show that his
life was in danger, shall not be found
guilty; and such threats and men
aces being proved and established,
the person compelling by said threats
and menaces the commission of the
offense, shall be considered a princi-
pal and suffer the same punishment
as if he had perpetrated the; cffense."

DlSpOSING OF SCRAP METAL
Big Railroad Has No Trouble Dispos
ina of Worn Cut Steel.

The PENNSYLVANIA railroad loaded
and shipped to buyers, 4,5Oo tons Of
scrap iron and steel from it's scrap
docks in Columbus. Ohio in the month
of January, it was announced ut the
office in Philadelphia, Pa
The scrap is made up OF metal dis
carded by it's shops in tile southwest
ern region, from old rails and iron
wreckaGe brought in from various
parts OF the road, and from metal
worn out in operation Of the railroad
Only that part Of the metal which
cannot he reclaimed is sold for waste
or scrap iron. BY combining one part
of new spring steel for fifteen parts
of old spring steel picked out i'll the
scrap dock, 1855 rebuilt locomotive
springs were salvaged last year.
Springs are rebuilt in this way at Il
cost Of 3.4 cents pound, while new
springs cost ten cents Il pound.
There are about 5000 tons OF scrap
in the dock at the present time. Dur
ing 1920 more than $4,000 tons OF
scrap were sold. This material at
the present time is worth only about
ten dollars II ton. but by reclaiming
n considerable part for its own use,
the Pennsylvania saves many thou
sands OF dollars which it would other
wise spend in buying new material
and partss
Furty-tivc men are employed to
sort the material into the piles which
arc no longer useful. Old bolts are
