Political Announcements.
FOR NATIONAL DELEGATE.
We are authorized to announce that John
¥. Short is a candidate for Delegate to
the National Democratic Convention from
the 23rd Congressional District. Subject
to the primary election laws of Pennsylva-
nia and the Rules of the Democratic party
in the State and District.
Anoter Native Centre Countian Get-
ting to the Top.
The recent elevation of John Emory
Meek to the vice presidency of the H.
W. Johns-Manville company is anoth-
er significant answer to the question
eternally being asked: “Where do
the men who are running our great
cities and industries come from ?”
Mr. Meek was born near Pine Grove
Mills, Centre county. When the exo-
dus of Ferguson township boys be-
gan toward Altoona where the Penn-
sylvania Railroad company was wel-
coming the intelligent, sturdy, ambi-
tious young sons of the soil and ea-
gerly making places for them, he was
among the first of the pilgrims. After
working seven years in the shops
there and acquiring a practical knowl-
edge of electricity he went to Denver,
Colorado, to become chief engineer of
the power plants of the Street rail-
way system of that city.
It was while there that he conceiv-
ed the idea of weaving a fine, con-
ductible copper wire and an asbestos
thread into a fabric that could be
heated with an electric current. His
first conception of the practical use
of such a commodity was as a pad-
ding to be placed under carpets so
that rooms could be heated by elec-
tricity. Another suggested use was
for foot warmers for the “ticket chop-
pers” who in those days sat exposed
to the cold on elevated platforms.
The uses to which such a fabric
could be put seemed endless, so Emo-
ry scouted all over Denver until he
found an old carpet loom and started
working nights to make his dream
come true. It did. And with the idea
sewed up with patents he started to
the H. W. Johns company, of New
York, to talk manufacture. They
took him and his patents in at once.
Nothing practical came of the carpet
padding idea, but all the electric fab-
rics you see or use today are the de-
velopments of the original idea of this
Centre county boy.
He entered the employ of the H. W.
Johns company, New York city, in
1894, and went with the new organi-
zation of the H. W. Johns-Manville
company in 1902, and formed the rail-
road and United States government
departments of this company in 1906,
and has held the position of general
manager of same up until his present
promotion. He still retains direct su-
pervision of these departments in ad-
dition to other duties. He is also a
director of the corporation.
Mr. Meek is a son of the late
Fletcher and Eliza Glenn Meek, of
Ferguson township.

Voodoo Doctor Electrocuted.
Lorenze Savage, negro, of Alle-
gheny county, who under the pretense
of being a “voodoo doctor” killed Elsie
Barthel, a nurse, last October, be-
cause she refused to pay for a love
charm he claimed to have given her,
was electrocuted at the Rockview pen-
itentiary on Monday morning. The
man was brought to the death house
on Saturday by sheriff R. G. Wood-
side and two deputies and to all ap-
. pearances was unconcerned as to his
fate. He was apparently just as cool
and calm when taken to the chair on
Monday morning. There being no-
body to claim his body he was buried
in the penitentiary cemetery.
A Call to All
It is possible that some of those from Old Centre who have gone to
make their homes in other parts of the country would like to feel that
they had helped a little in the reconstruction of the hospital that is
ministering to relatives and friends back home.
If there be such the opportunity is extended. If you will mail your
gift to this office we will forward it to the leader of the division including
your old home community and it will receive credit on its quota and
acknowledge the contribution with grateful appreciation.
TO THE CITIZENS OF CENTRE
COUNTY.
The intensive drive for $100,000
for your hospital opens with a din-
ner at the Brockerhoff house this
(Friday) evening at which time
most of the workers will assemble
to receive final instructions.
Instead of inadequate, unservice-
able and limited facilities, the pur-
pose is to modernize the present
buildings and eguspment and erect
and equip a new wing. The poorer
people and those with moderate
means will do their full share.
They always de for such worthy
enterprises. If those who have the
ability to give liberal subscriptions
will give in keeping with their abil-
ity to do so, every needed improve-
ment can be made and the drive
will be a success.
The one and only thing that will
forward this cause is generous sub-
scriptions from all, and particular-
ly from those who are recognized as
best able to give. The campaign
will succeed or fail depending on
the generosity of this latter group.
The time for talking is over. Your
interests must now be expressed by
your gift, based on your power to
give.
HENRY QUIGLEY, Chairman.
One Man Held for Murder, Two Sus-
pects Discharged.
A habeas corpus proceeding was
held before Judge Quigley, last Sat-
urday, in the case of John Bodenchok,
John Billey and John Strabilla, the
three men arrested by state police on
March 15th, charged with having dy-
namited a house at Pancake, in Snow
Shoe township, on the morning of
March 14th, 1922, which resulted in
the death of William Bukoski. A
half dozen or more witnesses were
heard, the most damaging evidence
being against Strabilla, witnesses tes-
tifying that he had told them that he
had made a bomb fgr the scabs who
were trying to break the strike; said
bomb consisting of dynamite in a bur-
lap sack. Following the blowing up
of the house a badly torn burlap sack
was found among the ruins.
The only evidence against Boden-
chok and Billey was that they had had
dynamite in their possession several
days previous to the blowing up of
the house, but the men claimed they
were using it to dig a well and blow
out stumps.
The case was argued on Tuesday
morning after which Judge Quigley
stated that there was insufficient evi-
dence to warrant the holding of Bo-
dencnok and Billey and they were dis-
charged, but Strabilla, who is a bar-
ber at Clarence, was held without bail
for trial.
The prosecutor in the case is Sergt.
Leo Graftkostky, of the state police,
who was assisted in the investigation
by Corp. John N. McHugh.
Mrs. Agnes Moore Suffers Broken
Hip.
Mrs. Agnes Moore, who will be re-
membered by so many friends in and
about Bellefonte, where she resided
until a few years ago, met with a very
serious accident early in March.
She has been making her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Jack Malin, in
Pittsburgh, and slipped on the freshly
polished hardwood floor. The fall
broke her hip. She has been in the
South Side hospital ever since and the
X-ray has shown the fracture to be
knitting nicely, though it is feared
that she will be permanently crippled.
Mrs. Moore is seventy-five years old
and in consequence there is the dan-
ger of other complications developing
through the long confinement to bed
that her injury necessitates.
Her friends everywhere will join us
in the hope that her recovery may be
speedy and permanent.

ty will be present at this meeting as
well as of all organizations in the
county interested in Conservation.
Light refreshments will be served.

Rockview Prisoner Plead Guilty to
Involuntary Manslaughter.
William Muse, the one armed col-
ored prisoner at Rockview penitentia-
ry who, on March 8th, hit Floyd Ma- |
son, another prisoner, knocking him to
the concrete floor with such force that |
he sustained concussion of the brain,
causing his death nine days later, |
went -into court on Tuesday morning |
and entered a plea of guilty to invol- |
untary manslaughter. Deputy war- |
den Fred J. Healy told the court that |
Muse, aside from his inveterate pro- |
pensity for gambling, had been a mod- |
el prisoner and the blow inflicted on |
Mason was in retaliation for the lat- !
ter’s assault on Muse with a baseball |
bat. Taking all the circumstances in- |
to consideration the court imposed a |
sentence of not less than two years i
nor more than four in the western |
penitentiary.

GENERATIONS ARE MARCHING—OLD NAMES ARE PASSING
—BUT MEMORY STILL CLINGS.
(Continued from page 1, Cols. 3 and 4.)
away. I was struck with the sad procession of the passing genera-
tions.
Believing that many of your readers would be interested in the
events of fifty-six years ago as published by the “Watchman” at that
carly day I have taken down seme of the most important events of
that day.
This was a Presidential year and the candidates for President and
Vice President were already nominated and were: Republican, Grant
and Colfax. Democratic: Seymour and Blair. As might be expect-
ed, the editor of the “Watchman” kept pouring hot shot into the Re-
publican camp. It was only three years after the close of the Civil
war and the two political parties were very bitter against each other,
but the Republican held power in the National government for many
years. Centre county was strongly Democratic and 2 nomination was
equal to an election.
The minutes of the Democratic county convention are published
in the one dated August 14th, 1868, from which I have taken down a
few notes and comments as follows: Convention was called to order
by John H. Orvis, chairman of the county Democratic committee.
John H. Morrison was elected permanent chairman of convention and
D. F. Fortney and John P. Mitchell secretaries. A few of the dele-
gates that were present were: Bellefonte—C. T. Alexander, Felix
Mullen, S. A. McQuistion; Philipsburg—Dr. G. F. Hoops, Edward
Perks; Benner township—Michael Grove, B. F. Hunter, David Lohr;
Unionville—A. J. Griest; Halfmoon—J. H. Griffin; Patton—Dr. John
M. Bush. Of these not one is living.
The ticket that was nominated and elected was as follows: For
Judge, John H. Orvis; for Congress, D. G. Bush; for Assembly, P.
Gray Meek; for District Attorney, H. Y. Stitzer; for Commissioner,
John Bing; for Auditor, John Rishel; for County Surveyor, William P.
Mitchell. All these, too, have passed out with their respective genera-
tions.
We copy a few items verbatim, which I believe will be read with
interest:. “On Monday evening last, a fine horse of Mr. John P. Har-
ris ran away with a buggy in which a gentleman was seated. The
gentleman was hurt seriously and the buggy was entirely destroyed.”
“Sad Accident: A little son of Henry Harden, of Halfmoon, was
run over by a wagon loaded with sand and had his leg and arm badly
broken on Saturday last.”
“A son of Mr. Beck, of Gregg, aged 9 years, while fishing in Penns
creek on Wednesday of last week fell into the stream and was drown-
ed. The body was found next day twenty feet under water and inter-
red on Thursday last.”
“Married :—Walker-Garrett on August 13, by R. M. Magee, Mr.
Wilson Walker to Miss Munda Garrett.”
In one column there are thirty-one short business cards publish-
ed, of doctors, lawyers, dentists and other business cards of whom, to
the best of my knowledge, not one is living, as well as of all the other
advertisements of merchants, most of whom I was well acquainted
with, too have passed away.
The county officers then holding office were: Prothonotary, James
H. Lipton; Sheriff, Daniel Z. Kline, his deputy was D. W. Woodring;
Register and Recorder, J. P. Gephart; County Treasurer, J. D. Shu-
gert. Couldn’t learn who the Commissioners were.
But there are so many interesting things in those three old
“Watchmans” that I could extract enough to fill a couple columns of
reminiscences. I note that the present D. W. as now printed is easily
one hundred P. C. improved in beauty, neatness in printing, white-
ness of paper, fluency of the local items, as well as in its editorials.
Thus one generation after another join in the march to their eter-
nal resting place and others have taken their places and in due time
we, too, will be called to glide down the stream of life until we land in
ihe sHzven of Rest where we will soon be forgotten by those we leave
ehind.
MORE OF OUR PIONEERS.
In another column of this edition will be found the photographic
reproduction of the venerable Jacob B. Solt, of Gettysburg. Mr. Solt’s
picture is hung in our “Gallery of Pioneer Readers” because it should
have a place there beside George W. Rumberger.
Mr. Solt writes that he was born at Summit, above Lemont, on April
7th, 1845, on a farm that adjoined what is now The Pennsylvania State
College farms. He recalls vividly that he and his father were work-
ing in the field when J. Shannon McCormick, father of John T. McCor-
mick, of State College, came riding out to them and induced his father
to subscribe for the new Democratic paper—“The Democratic Watch-
man.” As a boy at home Mr. Solt read the paper and when he mar-
ried and made a home for himself he subscribed for his own and has
been reading it ever since, over a continuous period of nearly sixty-
nine years. Mr. Solt moved from Centre county in 1889. From here
he went to Frederick, Md., and from there to Gettysburg. He con-
cludes his very interesting letter as follows: :
“I well remember Mr. Reuben H. Meek, father of P. Gray. I vot-
ed for the latter twice for the Legislature and once for the State Sen-
ate and I always thought him one of the most useful members our
county ever sent to Harrisburg.
“I could write several columns of the people in old Centre years
ago, but lest I bore you with it I shall close by wishing your good pa-
per success in its efforts to continue to stand up for the rights of the
masses as it has done throughout all the years I have read it.
Ever its true friend
JACOB B. SOLT.
Isn't it strange how one thing brings on another, how incidents
tie up with one another and how the world is?
Almost in the same mail came the communication from Mr. Rum-
berger and Mr. Solt. Then the old Democratic Whig was dropped on
our desk. Then came letters from Mrs. Hannah Osman, of State Col-
lege, and James A. McClain, of Spangler. And then on the occasion
of our usual Sunday morning visit to the hospital we dropped in for a
chat with Capt W. H. Fry, convalescent and reminiscent of old days
and the “Watchman” of which he has been such a well known part for
many, many years. He had just had a letter from an old scholar of
his, Charles S. Dannley, of Wadsworth, Ohio, who was writing to tell
him how he longed for his restoration so that his interesting contribu-
tions to the “Watchman” would be continued.
Now for the tie up. We had all the letters referred to above and
the copy of the Whig in our pocket when Capt. Fry went to reminis-
cing. He told us how he hostled for Rev. Moser who preached to Luth-
erans on Sundays and taught German on week days at the Pine Grove
Academy. Only a few hours later we found the Moser advertisement
in the Whig. Then the Capt. told us that when he returned from the
war he taught school for a while and that brought up the letter from
Mr. Dannley, one of his scholars. Then the McCormicks were men-
tioned and the whole scroll of Ferguson township folks unrolled and
Mr. Solt’s letter referring to Shannon McCormick became another
closed link in the memory chain. Then Mrs. Hannah Osman’s pleas-
ing reference to the paper’s having been in her father’s family ever
since the first edition linked her letter into it, for it was Shannon Me-
Cormick who rode horseback all over that country soliciting to start
the “Watchman” under P. Gray Meek and he it must have been who
enrolled her father.
The Rumberger and McClain letters come into the scheme in this
way. Mr. Rumberger refers to the candidacy of P. Gray Meek for the
Legislature. That was after the lamented editor had been in prison
and his candidacy was by way of seeking a vote of confidence from
the county. In his letter Mr. McClain refers to the incidents just pre-
ceding the arrest and imprisonment—which was on a trumped up
charge—but we'll let you read that in his own words.
Dear Mr. Meek:
I can not go back to 1855, but I can to 1862. At that time your
father lived in the house now occupied by Thomas B. Hamilton and as
you know, I lived diagonally across the street. My cousin, John No-
lan, was working on the “Watchman,” this and the close proximity of
your father and my home brought me in touch with the “Watchman,”
which I think at that time was housed in the Reynolds building on
Allegheny street. I was anxious to become the devil of the paper and
learn the printing trade. but this did not transpire. :
I distinctly remember of aiding your father and others to barricade
the approach to the office, to protect it from a threatened invasion to
scrap it. I think I can say I have been a reader of your valuable pa-
per since 1862.
1 was thirteen years old in the above year. Those were hot times
in the grand old town.

Sunday School Teachers.
Six more persons will be added this
week to the teacher force of the
Methodist Sunday school, Bellefonte.
Doris Moore, John Keeler, Rachel and
Frances McKelvey, Catherine Shaffer
and Mrs. Charles Harrison will grad-
uate. this week. This makes fifteen
holding - ‘diplomas in the Sunday
school. There is already much inter-
est in the new and advanced class
that will be started.
Herewith we hang the pho-
tograph of Jacob B. Solt, of
Gettysburg, in the “Watch-
man’s” Gallery of Pioneer
Readers. Mr. Solt is a native
of Centre county, having been
born at Summit, above Lemont,
April 7th, 1845. He was a boy
when his father enrolled to help
start the “Watchman” and has
read the paper ever since.
When he married and made a
‘| home for his bride he became
{| a subscriber himself and the
| name has been on the “Watch-
man’s list for nearly sixty-nine
years.
At the age of 79 Mr. Solt is
in good health, enjoys full pos-
session of all his faculties and
the “Watchman” hopes that he
may be spared many more
years to enjoy and encourage
it as he has so frequently done
in the gracious letters that
come to this desk from him.

No Such Car.
The teacher was trying to give her
pupils an illustration of the word
“perseverance.”
“What is it,” she asked, “that car-
ries a man along rough roads and
smooth roads, up hills and; down,
through jungles and swamps; and rag-
ing torrents?” rt
There was a silence, and then Tom-
my, whose father was a motor dealer,
spoke up: “Please, Miss,” he said,
“there ain’t no such car.”—Youth's
