CIRCUIT COURT.

This Court has been in session
since Monday last. His Honor,
Judge G. D. CAMDEN, is on
the Bench, looking very well.

made it necessary to continue
some important suits.
Asthis is the Judges last judi
cial visit to our county, under
his present term,it is Beiittingwe
should say his services have been
highly acceptable. His amia-
bility, prudence and moderation.
have been only equalled by his
ability, justice and impartiality.

trict may account themselves

" e know not the views of.oC-

the Judge to be a Candidate for
reelection. Politics should not
influence us in the election of
our Judges. We want those
high places filled by able and
pure men, who are far removed
from the trickery and political
corruptlons of the times. Judge
Camden has been tried, and the
people have rendered a verdict
in his favor. He is our choice
for reelection.

The citizens of Shlnston, IN
Harrison County, intend build
ing an excellent Academy this
Spring; and they have already
raised by subscription for that that
purpose over $1,000, and Will
doubtless soon have enough sub
scribed to accomplish this COM
mendable enterprise. The build
ing is to be two stories high,
with two large and well -arrang"
ed school rooms on the first floor
and a spacious town hall on the
second floor. The ground
pointed out to us as the cite for
this building is certainly a most
desirable situation for seat of
learning.
Shinston is a most pleasant
and desirable village, beautiful
ly located on the bank Of the
Wcst-fark river, nearly midway
between FaiFmont and Clarks-
burg. The people are intelli-
gent, courteous and generous to.

charming the finest farms, rich
soil. and best method of farm
ing in Northwestern Virginia.
This Academy will be sup
piled with The best teachers the
country can afford. From all
the circumstances, it will be an
excellent place TO gain a good
Academic education and will,
we doubt not, soon have large
patronage.

tached the meaning ofthief, rob
Der, cut-throat and william to the
word abolitionist, it became an
cdious epi'het which they hurl,
ed at all their opponents in polls
tics--Geclared that the institution
of slavery was in danger, and
1000, 1000 slaves were about to. be
forceably turned loose to mur-
der ali the whites. The dema
gogue and place seekers rushed
into the ranks. " Timid, honest
men were afraid to open their
mouths in vindica5Ion, of their
long cherished views, and
shrank back into silence. That
time honored ecclesiastical body
the NJ. E. Church--was seV>
cred like rope of sand; bitter
dissentions sprung up in the
Baptist Church; next the New
School Presbyterian; then the
NJ. P, Church. Those who but
a few years ago could say, "Be4
hold how good and pleasant a.
thing it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity" are now wri:
ting bitter things against each
other; and a large body Of preas
cheers in the NJ. E. Church are
now undergoing one Of the most
relentless prosecutions Of any
people. All that is wanted to
re-lignt the fires Of Smithfield
by some of their oppressors is
the authority. Had they that,
their zeal would soon be at burs
ming heat. The most remarks
bic change has taken place in the
sentiment of the M. f. Church
South that ever took place in
any church, or sect, on the face
Of the earth in the same space of
time. That church organized
in May, 1916, adopting the same
discipline, with the same rule on
the subject Of slavery that the
old church had, the preachers
had ever been eminent for their
conservatism on the subject Of
slavery; and in twelve short
years afterwards in their gene
raj conference they declare that
the ruln in the book Of tbryi-::s de
cipline on slavery referred TO the
Airicao slave trade, and abolish
ed it; but not satisfied with lis
repeal they declare that they
will express no opinion as TO the
moral qualities Of the African
slave trade, thus expressing sym
patty for trade condemned by
all thu civilized nations of the
earth, and denounced by the
United States, pirocy-to be
punished with death. And now
