No one is killed i'm order to

Contrary to general belief,
this rather bucolic little town
the county seat of Jefferson
county, West Virginia can
boast of sporting tradition, and
especially as the words apply to
the racing of thoroughbred
horses, as proud, probaly, as any
sector Of the country in which
race tracks, or or new are operat-
ed. :. ...... =.
1t is a far cry from next Mon
day, when the Charlestown
Jockey Club opens it's second
meeting of 1910 - an 18-day
session that is scheduled to run
through Saturday, December Fl
back to Tuesday, May 7, 1876
But on that Tuesday over a
course not more than a mile
south of Charlestown's city
limits, race meeting was held
under the rules of the Frederick
burg (Va.) Jockey club.
In those days, what is now
Jefferson county, West Virginia,
was part of old Virginia. In-
deed, it was not until 1901 that
the county became Jefferson
But Charlestown was establish
ed as such on the property Of
Charles Washington (brother of
George Washington by resolu-
luton passed October, 1886.
At the tim of the establish
ment of Charles Town." says
Norris History of the Lower
Shendoah Valley there must
have been considerable popula-
ton and business. 1t contained
two or three good taverns, and
a number of stores and shops,
and it was the center of the
sporting gentlemen of the day
Throughout the entire valley.
The first advertisement or men
ton of horse racing occurs in
April, 1876, six months before
the above act was passed. There
is no mention in either of the
two Winchester (Va.) papers of
1787-88 of any race course, but
the following copied from the
Virginia State Journal and Alex
andria Gazette shows that the
lovers of horsefesh of Charles
Town wer far advanced in the
Sport of Speed.

nous untapped resource for

They have the means within
themselves which, when releas-
ed throug education and trainh
ing, can capture the evanscent
and fleeting beauties of trees
and flowers, sunsets and stars,
and bright water, and of human
love and human suffering on
canvas and in stone. And, deep
and subtle sense of rhythm and
the universal melody of their
voices they can set all America
singing. 1850
Political scientists and politi-
clans said, Surely, in these
times it is self-evident that
democracy can survive only if
our powerful minorities are edu-
Gated to throw their power be-
hind democracy That, they said,
is a major job for Hampton
Institute They told me that
their scholarly studies showed
them that wherever adult Ne
gres have thus far been given
their full legal right to vote,
these votes of Negro American
citizens have almost universal
ly been in support of sound men
and measures leading to total
political, social and economic
good. 80. ...... :.
"The philosophers said: You
will be wise if you try to serve
Hampton and fool if you do
not These men, setting the
whole of the past of the world
against this present America,
and peering clear-eyed into the
future, told me that we in
America have three profound
lessons to learn. First, from the
valiant agonies of the British
in our sister democracy, demo
cracy which was reborn on the
bloody shores of Dunkirk and in
boiling and black-outs of London,
Coventry and Birmingham End,
from the ancient wisdom and in
! finite patience of the Chinese in
their slow, iresistable engulfing
of the Japanese assault; and Bird.
from the Amercan Negro who,
in slavery, learned the glory of
, freedom, and who in freedom,
has developed strength and toler
ance and the ways of slowly
but steadily and powerfully
making progress against the
| forces of fear, prejudice, and
superstition, and hatred.
Deeply conscious that all of
J these profound reasons are
| valid, certain that they all sum
up to equal the essential spirit
of a democracy or the defense
in a modern world and sharply
aware Of responsibility oyou,
to the students, faculty and the

and to the Negro race Of this
