TRUE REFORMERS IN RUM.

l.kenae of United Order of True Re
i'ormera to do buaineas in Virginia ia
'ufpended.
Savinga Bank of True Reformera goes
into receiverahip, owing the insurance
order $335,100, and holding $60,800 of
ohecka drawn by the order for insurance
olaima, which it is unable to pay.
Inauranco Bureau hopea order may
continue buaineas after affaira of bank
are wound up and asseta divided.
Policiea of 30,000 Virginia negroes are
in uttnost danger.
No event which might have befallen
the colored race in America could have
produced a more profound ahock or
could be more tar-reaching in its effectt
than .the auspanaion of the licenae of
tha Grand United Order of True Re?
formera, which waa done last week by
the Bureau of Insurance of Virginia. The
Troa Reformera ia at once the largest,
the moet prominent, ane haa hitherto
been regarded aa the roost aucceaaful
of all the colored aecret aocietiea in tl e
world.
Thia big tinaneial and fraternal or
ganization waa brought to ita fall by
tha arash of the Savings Bank of True
Reformera, an allied institution, which
appliea for a receiver in the Chancery
Court of the city of Richmond.
The chancea are that there will be
several arreata. Aa late aa Monday last
the savings bank received aeveral large
caah depoaita from colored churches
and the Y. If. C. A. One colored or
ganization was caught for nearly $2,500.
A colored man connected with the in?
stitution declared that the depoaitore
woukj not receive more than 25 centa on
the dollar.
The Richmond Virginian voicea the
aentiroenta of all good aitizens when it
aays:
"A T1MB FOR 8YMPATHf."
The Buspension of the licenae of The
True Reformera, one of the largest
negro benevolent aecret insurance com
panie- in the world, ia a distioct calam
ity, not only to the negro race but to
the .St?te of VireTinia. This society
haa in its long bistory done a world of
aTood. It haa exerted on the whole
maas of negroea an elevating influence.
It haa advanced their moral ideala; har
encouraged thero in waya of thrift; haa
done no Httle toward fitting them for
the exercise of uaeful citizenahip
Through ita aid and encouragement
there are today living in comfortable
homes hundreda of negroes who other
wise would be the inhabiUnta of ahan
ties. In its sacceaa, it stood aa a mon
ument to negro efTort and aelf-reapect;
in ita fall, it deeerves from whites and
negroea alike more of sympathy than
of criticiam. The result of the cataa
trophe which it haa saffeied shoukJ be,
not deapair of negro enterprise along
theae lince, but a concert of helpfulneas
towards re-building and re-establishing
the ahattered aructure."

If we takc into conaideration tbe
large attendance of our beat citisena,
inapiring and inetructive adtireaeea, at
tractive musicai program, ample pro
visions. large collection and many other
helpful featurea of our "Aanual Rally,
we must concede thia laat to b? one of
the beat we have ever held?date Octo
ber 21, 1910. Special mention should be
made of the telling addreaaea made by
Rev. David Hepburn in the forenoon,
and Rev. Ed. J. Richardsonin the after
noon, to which he idJed soane cartoon
work for the benefk of the cbildren,
and we regret that lack of apmce pre
venta the giving of a more extenaive
notice of theae notable apeeches. which
should have been heard by every one
wbo ia interested in the welfare of our
county and State. Alao the muaical
featurea under the auperviaion of Mra.
Lucy Treakle. The aingingby the choir,
the duet by Mra. Georgie Willing and
Mra. Clara Meekins, the aolo by Rev.
C. A. Hall, and the duet by Mra. Wm.
T. Chaae and Rev. C. A. Hall added
greatly to the intereat and enjuyraent
of the occaaion. The collection ?xceeded
that takea at any previoua meetmg?
all going to abow that our people are
still deeply intereated in the proaperity
of the temperance movement.
The committee on nomiaations, of
which Dr. W. F. Dunaway waa chair
?nan, made the following nomioationa.
For Freaident, Rev. W. L. Ware*;
Vice-Presidenta, J. F. Bellows. G. R.
McKenney and L. T. Rock; ;Secretary
and Treasurer. Dr. G. H. Oliver. These
were duly elected.
The cemmittee on resolutions, con
aiating of Rev. J. D. Hoeier, Rev. F.
W. Claybrook and B. H. Robinaon,
ofTered the following reaolutiona, which
were adopted:
Whereas, it haa become cvident that
the present legialation - concarning the
sale of ardent spirits ia not adequate to
protect either the individual or society
from the baneful etfecta of this des
tructive traffic; aad whereas, the local
option policy ia being uaed by the liquor
trafic aa a method for obtaining depota
of supplieain the heart of dry territory?
Resolved. 1st.?That we vote for such
aaen for the General Assembly as will
pledge themselves to support the enact
ment of a law to submit the questioa of
State-wide prohibition to the votera of
the State for decision.
Reaolved, 2nd.?That we reaffirm our
devotion to the causc of temperance
and our condemnation of the ficenaed
aaloon.
Reaolved, 3rd.? That we rejoice at
the eucccas of our efforta in the banish
ment of the aaloon from such a large
portion of our Commonwealth, and we
nail the day when there shali be no
saloon in all our borders,
Reaolved, 4th? That we favor the
aanendment of the law ao that the poa
acsaion of a licenae of the United Statea
to sell intoxicating liquora shall be made
not prima facia, but concluaive evidence
that the pcasessor ia engaged in retail
ing liquor by the drink.
Reaolved, 5th.?That we believe that
the illicit sale of ardent spirits cannol
be atopped by the impoeition of pecuni
ary penalties, and we deaire that the
penalty for the violation of the law
ahall be a uniform finc, auch fine to
cover the coat of proaecution. together
with continement in jail indepently of
the option of the court.
Reaolved, 6th.?That we endorae the
Miller-Curtia lnterstate Liquor ship
ment bill now before Congreaa; that we
requeat our Repreaentativea in Congreaa
to|vote for its passage, and that the
aecretary of this meeting be instructed
to send them copies of this reaolution.

The time haa arrived for a decided
advance along the Jine of temperance
legialation. "He that ia not for us, ia
againat ua." Where do you atand?
Reapectfully,
G. H. Ouver, Sec'y.
The large courtroom waa not ample
enough to hold the people. There waa
no burst of ephemeral enthuaiaam, but
earneatneaa and determination roarked
the proceedings of the body. A sumpt
uoua dinner was served under the treea
oa the court green, which waa heartily
enjoyed by all preaent. The large at
tendance waa mainly due to the efforta
of the Rev. W. L. Ware, preaident of
the Lancaater League. Meetinga ware
held later at Kiiroarnock and Irvington,
at which addreases were delivered by
Meeara. Hepburn and Richardson. Cer
tainly the "temperance wave" ia not
reeeding in Lancaater county.
Rev. E. J. Richardson'a address, in

There was quite a stir here among

caused by a report to the effect that
the oystera were infected with typhoid
fever germa. Thia report caused a big
alump in the Waahington markets,
which threw thousands of buahels of
oyaters back on the oystermen's hands.
To investigate thia report, Commis?
sioner of Fisheries, W. McDonaid Lce,
on his boat Commodore Maury, was
here Monday and Wedneaday. Dr.
Freeman, of the State Board of Health,
accompanied him here. where they

Editor Citizen:?I thought it well
for ne to drop yoo a few linea totnform
you of the oyater conditiona in Pocoanoke

have a fine atock of oystera, and the
catch aplendkl The catch haa been
from fifty to one hundred buahela to the
hoat a day with two tongera and culi
boy-and atock culled to the law, three
inchea. The first of the seaaon they
only brought twenty-five and thirty
cents per bushel. Now they are bring
ing from forty to flfty eenta. In due
credit to the oystermen on Pocomoke
Sound, I think, aa a whole, they are try
ing to comply with the law, the beat I
have ever aeen a clasa of people do.
There have been timea this aeaaon in
which I have boarded and overhauled
the oyaters of over three hundred boata
in one day, and found all culled to the
law. They are more than pleaeed with
the resulta ao far. There are boata that
have sold for $76 to over $100 perj
week. The oyatermen aay they are
doing better, making more money than
they ever did in their livea. Don't that

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
'Norfolk Lodaar-LHapatch.)
Wa think the Washington Herald is
much more severe upon Gov. Mann than
the circumstances warrant, and in class
ing the Virginia executive along with
Heyburn it does him an injustic. It
may be aa the Herald says of his apeech
at Yorktown, "It waa illtimed and of
no earthly benefit to anybody, and will
give him not even paasing glory among
his owncountrymen." but Gov. Mann
did not have in his mind any of the bit
terness that characterized the utterancea
of Heyburn. This was the Yorktown
utterance:
"The time wili come, and I hope it is
not far diatant, when we will have in
the National Capital a statue of Jeffer
son Davisaide by side with Abe Lincoln.
You have heard of the agitation looking
to the removal of the statue of Gen.
Lee. While I am governor of Virginia
it will not be removed, and when we do
take away the statue of Lee we will
tal e with it the figure of that other
r- b. I, Washington,"
