SPEAKING OF LUCK

J. z. Miller, Jr., tells story that
should be classic on the subject Of
luck determining mans career and
fortune. He vouches for it's truth.
In the Texts of the after-Civil war
days a man had been struggling along
with a stock ranch and finally decided
he could not make Ego" of it. Ac-
cordingly he drew a coin out of his
pocket and decided to flip it to decide
whether he should return to his old
home in the East or stay in Texas.
"Heads l go, tails l stay!'' he said
to himself, and Tipped the coin. 1t
came up "tails."
A few years later the cattle crash
hit Texas and the ranchers were WHIP
ed out. They would turn over all
their cattle to the banks in lieu of
payment of notes, and the banks, be-

ing mainly in the cities and not being
able to handle this cattle security in
any shape, were tottering themselves.
At last one bank called in the man
who had tipped the coin and told him
it's predicament.
"Look here" the bankers said, "you
go out and handle these cattle of
ours and we will give you one-fouth
of all of them you save"
Other banks followed suit and the
man became "cattle chaperon" in
earnest. The ''one-fourth cattle" deal
that the banks had made with him
proved immensely profitable from his
point of view, and his fortunes prov
ed constantly on the upgrade thence
forward.
When he died recently he was worth
from $2O,OO0,O00 to $25,000,0O0.
And turn of coin told him to
stay in Texas.-Kansas City Star. :

PACE EIGHT
BARN BLOWN DOWN AND HORS-
ES KILLED; ANOTHER BARN
MOVED AND OTHER BUILD
INGS DAMAGED,

In severe wind, rain and electri-
cal storm which struck this commun-
ity Tuesday evening, September Z
large barn on the Ludwig Voeltz
farm was blown down and wrecked
and two horses killed and one injur-
ed. The farm is located in the North
east corner of Morgan township.
The barn blew over about ten
o'clock. The the same time the wheel
of the wind mill went off and some
of the window panes were blown out
of windows in the house.
While hard wind blew for some
time Mr.. Voeltz is of the opinion that
it was a twister that took the barn.
At that moment the doors of the
house flew open and the dwelling
shook on it's foundation and the fam
lily thought that the house was going
over also.
There were six horses in the barn
when it blew down and three were
found outside. The other three were
in the wreckage. After the storm
had subsidized two of the animals were
was dead and the other injured. One
dead horse which was pinned down
had not been removed from the debris
early Wednesday forenoon.
The lift of the barn was full of hay.
The barn which was 28x50 stood on
a foundation and Mr.. Voeltz states,
was in good state of repair and he
believes would have withstood any
but the most violent wind. Grain
stacks in the barn yard were greatly
damaged. A straw shed was un-
harmed and the machine shed was not
damaged except for shingles blown
off the roof.
At the Kempton farm mile south
of town the wind appears to have been
a twister. The hen house and corn
crib were blown over and wind mill
blown down. The windows in the en-
closed porch were blown in. During
the havoc the doors of the house were
blown open and considerable straw
blown into the house. The family
sought refuge in the basement. While
the wind blew hard for some time
the damage seemed to have been done
in a few moments with violent
whirling wind.
1t is reported that the barn on the
Fred w. A. Fenske place was moved
slightly on it's foundation.
James Gilliland had cow killed
by lightning.-Morgan Messenger.

A COMMENDABLE REWARD.

When Governor Harry Flood Byrd
offered a reward of one thousand
dollars for the arrest and conviction
CT the Iynchers OF the colored man.
Raymond Bird, or for the conviction
OF any one of them, he took long
step forward in UNFOLDING the law
-as it is writ in this commonwealth.
Some of these narrow minded peo-
pie, both white and colored, will
gradually be able to make a distinct
ion aud understand the difference
between executing guilty man on
their own motion and to permit the
law TO do it.
When these murderers proceeded
to kill this colored man, the crime
was primarily against the legal an
punishment. The more heinous the
crime charged against the unfortun-
ate victim, the less excuse could
there he for lawless mob's action
in usurping the authority of the
constitutional powers of the State
itself s,,-s--'i >sw
Governor Byrd took his own time
In acting, but he has dealt a sledga-
hammer blow at these miscreants.
They will think long time before
this kind of an outrage will be re-
peated. Sending able attorneys to
Wytheville to ferret out the GRIMM
ais was fine movement. Supple
menting the reward of one hundred
dollars offered by Wythe county with
one thousand dollars offered by the
State will have a wholesome effect
and carry CONSERVATION to evil doors
We congratulate the Chief Execu-
tive of Virginia. Some people may
say that he should receive no COM
mendation for doing his duty, but
-, is an age in which statesmen

duty. even though it is known that

This literary genius is doing great
work for his own race of people in

this country in general.
The pages xxx to xxi give the
peace plans of Benjamin Bannaker,
the noted Negro Mathematician and
Astronomer of the Eighteenth Cen

The Board of Trustees of Virginia
Theological Seminary and College in
session assembled, being informed.
by Or. X. 9. Woods, president of the
institution, of his desire to retire
from the presidency, after fifteen
years of faithful, earnest and emf
nent service, submits the following
testimony of his worth and serv
ices:
First, 1t is to the Board and the
constituency of our several conven-
tons, maintaining Virginia Theolog.
ical Seminary and College a source
OF profound regret, that DR.. Woods
has reached the decision to retire
from the institution. His years Of
efficient and capable service have en-
deared him to all and his wise lead
ership in our educational and demon
national work, has contributed to
the progress Of our people and work
in marvellous way and has given
him an exalte dplace in the affections
and affairs of our race group in Viz.
ginia and the nation.
Second, The institution, under his
direction. has enjoyed an era of
progress entirely peculiar to his adj
ministration. The physical enlarge
ment of the plant by the addition of
three splendid buildings on the i'm
mediate campus, and adding more
ground and a home for the presi-
dent, adjacent to the campus, en-
largements valued at more than
two hundred thousand dollars with
additional outlays for the thorough
equipment of scientific laboratories
and the undermining of the entire
plant are among the worthy achieve
ments.
Tho faculty has been increased
from twelve to twenty-seven. He has
brought to the institution a strong
and brilliant array of teachers, rep
resenting the leading American Uni
versities. The student body has in
creased from about two hundred to
five hundred.
The standards of the institution
have been raised to high ranking, so
today it is in the group Of our best
institutions.
Third, We realize that the rapid
expansion in buildings and equip.
ment; the increase in faculty and
increased. costs in salaries; the in
creased expense for maintenance be-
cause of the enormous advance in
prices of all commodities used by
the institution and the growth of
the student body and the consider
able outlay in money in the efforts
to bring our College to the standard
OF grade A, are problems that have
taxed the mental and physical
strength of our president and very
probably prompted him to his deci-
sion. While the expansion of our
institution, coupled with the growth
or educational standards and re-
quirements in our State and nation
in the last decade have made it
more difficult to operate and our eff
forts to measure up as an A grade
college have increased our debt, we
desire to commend our president
for his vision, ideals and outstand-
ing service and assure him of the
Institutions affairs.
Again, expressing our regret over
his decision to leave our school and
State, we extend, him a cordial and
standing welcome to Virginia our
pulpits and denominational coun-
,ils.
