CLIFTON STATION, Va, Dec.
5.-Nearly a half century ago
a boy from Pennsylvania took
Horace Greely's advice and went
West.
Today, after many years of
prospecting for gold in western
states, that same man-now IS
years old-firmly believes that
he has realized his life'S ambi-
ton in striking a sure huff
gold vein" in this little village
of several hundred persons.
Less than 80 miles from the
Nations Capital, Mert Mccain
has been panning dust and dig
ging in the ground with pick
and shovel for nearly two years.
Should the vein the aging pros
pector has found be profitably de,

the villagers here. will receive 45
per cent of all profits.
Same for Grub Stalker
An equal share of the profits
would go to D. w. Mathers, village
storekeeper, who, Mccain says,
grub-Staked him on the job. The
remaining 10 per cent, the pros.
pector explained, would be paid
to the property owner. Charlie
Hickey, in royalties for the lease
held by the miner.
Mr.. Mccain showed several let
tiers from the Virginia department
of agriculture and immigration

of specimens he sent to Richmond
for inspection. The best specimen
of gold nugget showed two-tenths
of an ounce per ton, while the
best specimen containing silver
showed three ounces per ton.
Nearly a dozen of the specimens
we're found to contain these pre-
cious metals and several a suf-
ficient amount to make mining of
the metals pay.

BY THE GOOD FELLOW
EDITOR

The Washington Times Good
Fellow Club wishes to thank the
Good Fellows that have already
generously responded to our
pleas. But we need more OF
them.
Letters asking for aid are piled
high on our desk. Each tells a
story of want and despair made
bitter by the near approach OF
the holiday season, and begging
for just little bit Of Christmas
cheer.
They ask so little, these wistfu
little ones. Just a toy or two,
or perhaps bit of goodies, to
break the dreadful monotony Of
poverty. Perhaps a pair of shoes
so they can go to school; a coat
cast off by some more fortunate
boy or girl, will make some
child happy AZ Christmas.
oOck Their Pride
Many of these families wrote
last year. received help from
Good Fellows, and again they
write begging not to be forgotten
this Christmas. Other mothers
and fathers are pocketing their
pride and making their appeal
for the first time.
So come forward, Good Fellows,
and play Santa Claus! Perhaps
all you can do is to supply some
poor family with a Christmas tree
and a few glittering trimmings.
But it will gladden. the hearts of
little children on Christmas morn
ing.
Perhaps you can spare few dol
lerS and fix up a basket of food
for someone's Christmas dinner.
Your own turkey will taste much
better if you have provided a pork
roast for some less fortunate
family. Your children can be
taught the meaning of Christmas
giving and they will enjoy their
toys more if they know they have
taken part in the real spirit Of CIV
ing.
Good Fellows are needed to an
swer pleas such as this, received
from Mrs. d.:
Wont you please help me and
my family this Christmas. I have
three children and there is my hus-
bands mother to take care of also.
It is so difficult to live on the tiny
salary my husband makes, and
there won't be even an extra penny
for the children'S Christmas. They
all need clothes so very bad and
blankets for the beds. Any help at
all will be so gratefully appre,
ciated. My boy is nine years old
and my two girls are seven and
three"
Letter From Widow
Another mother writes: II am
widow with two children, a girl,
IL, and a boy, 2, and I am afraid
there will not be much of a Christ
mas for them. We all need
clothes most of all"
There are six girls, ranging in
ages from IA to 31a years, in the
family of Mrs. c." She writes
that last year Christmas was a
very poor one indeed, and that
this year she cannot see where
there will be any money at all for
toys or anything extra for them
at Christmas, to make that day a
little different from any other
day.

DOCTORS PLEA
FINDS LITTLE
SUPPORT
Officers and Teachers
Shy, But Proponent
Promises Fight

DR.. C. Herbert Marshall, colored
physician who describes himself as
a member of "the old school of
the three RS" appeared today to
be engaged in one-man crusade
to revoke the school boards rule
against corporal punishment.
A canvass of opinions of various
school officials revealed that al
though assured of at least the
nominal support of DR.. j. Hayden
Johnson, colored member of the
Board of Education, DR.. Marshall,
who presented his case for corpo-
raj punishment at the boards
meeting yesterday, has no other
avowed supporters among the
higher school officials.
DR.. johnson indicated that he
would bring up the question of
corporal punishment at the next
meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton, but refused to say just how
far he would carry the fight.
Principals Opposed
Principal G. D. Houston, of
Armstrong High School, cited
yesterday as one of the schools
where recent alteration be-
tween an instructor and student
had demonstrated the need for
corporal punishment, emphatically
denied that he had any serious
trouble disciplining the pupils.
II do not think any principal in
the school system would be willing
to go back to the barbaric custom
Of whipping children" he de-
clared.
DR.. Garnet C. Wilkenson, super
intendent of the colored schools,
likewise decried the idea of cor
poral punishment.
II see no need to abrogate the
rule" he said. These individual
cases can be handled administra-
lively. I do not think you can
whip children into being good"
Although not a member of
the school system, DR.. Marshall
declared he is familiar with
school children, their parents and
teachers. AS playground in
structor at one of the toughest"
Fairgrounds in Southwest some
years ago, he said, he was first
impressed with the need for
corporal punishment.
Plans Fight to Finish
Declaring that before the rule
prohibiting corporal punishment
no one ever heard of child de-
linquency or problem" children,
DR.. Marshall said:
IT intend to push this fight
to it's limit. Many who are
going to oppose corporal punish
ment are theorists who are too
far removed from the school
room to give the matter a fair
and equitable consideration"
At yesterdays meeting of the
Board of Education, instances of
a revolt" among the students
amounting to what he described
as an epidemic" were cited by
DR.. Marshall as justification for
repeal of the rule against physical
punishment.
Among them were an alterca-
ton between a physical education
instructor and a student at Arm
strong, a case in another colored
school where a student bit a
teachers finger and caused blood
poisoning, and another colored
school case of a teacher suffering
severe abdominal injuries as the
result of an attack by a pupil.
The board decided to take the
problem under advisement
