EDITOR WHITTICO PASSES

(from T h e WEIGH Daily News)
In the death of Matthew
Thomas Whittico, of Keystone,
Mcdowell county has lost a
picturesque citizen and the Ne
gro race an outstanding leader.
Thirtynine years editor of the
Mcdowell Times, the states
leading newspaper devoted to
the interests of the colored peo-
pie, and active in politics and
all movements hflving to do
w t h the welfare of his race,
Tom Whittico was one of the
best known Negro citizens of
Yves Virginia.
A staunch Republican and all
orator of considerable ability,
he was a conspicuous figure at
all state political gatherings for
many years. He never aspired to
political office himself, but al
ways preferred to Fight the
other fellows battle"
Through his newspaper and
n IS other activities, Editor
Whittico welded a great infu-
cnce among the colored people
of southern West Virginia, and
he will be missed. His was an un-
selfish nature, tolerant. and for
giving.
