Sinking Fast.

Pale, miserable, discouraged, without
relish for food, without energy enough for
exertion, yet with no acute pain, or other
specific indication OF disease, how often do
we see feeble invalids fading as it were out
of life without any apparent cause. We
say of them that they are sinking fast, or
Sinking gradually" as the case may be.
But there is no good reason why they should
sink at all. Persons in this dead.alive state
simply want invigorating and vitalizing.
Nature, in a state of torpor, demands help.
Bring out the reserve OF vitality in the sys-

A Severe Joke,

They tell story about q certain jolly
Democrat Of Jefferson township that
will bear repeating. AtCoalsmouth or
election day, an aged colored individual
applied TO him for a Democratic ticket
The ticket was handed him, whereup
on the following colloquy ensued:
Darkey.-"Please read them names
sab!
Democrat.-"All right, and the
ticket was so read.
Darkey,-"Ise q Democrat and
wants to vote for all dem gemmen, and
fist one odder."
Democrat.-"Very we'll, who is heT
Darkey.-"Colonel s., sab wants
to vote for him for old iriendship's
sake"
Democratic Pointing to the blank
left for Surveyor of Roads, "Well,
here's a blank space, shall l put his
name here ?
Darkey.-"Yes, sab! OATS just
right" ..... e.
The blank being go filled up, he forth.
With deposited the ballot, creating some
merriment among those who had wit.
messed the scene.
Of course the incident was talked
about and laughed at and 80 at last it
came to the ears OF Colonel S. On
Saturday the Democrat in question came
to town, and the Colonel meeting him,
demonstrated with him for having
played jest 80 practical upon the
colored voter. The explanation that
followed aggravated the offense. Said
our Democratic fellow-citizen, very
grayely: "Well, Colonel, I did do that,
and III tell you how it was. l found
you hadn't . ghost of chance for the
Convention, 60 thought I'd try to
elect you Overseer of the Roads, but

Railroad Matters.

From Louisville special to the GIN.
cinnati Gazette, of date October 80, we
take the following
1.-THE sale of the Louisville, Cincin,
natl and Lexington railroad was con
summated to-day, and the papers signed,
The company had the right to sell adj
ditional stock to the amount OF one
million dollars, and the contract is for
the purchase of this additional stock,
at fifty centsson the dollar, to be paid in
cash, or as fast as the company chooses
to draw to meet its liabilities, the stock
to be issued and delivered as fast as
paid for. The purchasers further agree
to buy all or so much of the present
outstanding stock of the company as
may be offered and lodged with the
treasurer Of the company within sixty
days at sixty cents on the dollar, paya'
BILE in ninety days with interest, or at
sixty.five cents on the dollar, payable in
six, nine and twelve months, negotiable
bills well secured to be given, and the
stock to be retained as collateral until
paid for. The parties making the pur.
chases are the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, C. P. Huntington,
w. H. Aspinwall, A. A. Law, Jonas
G. Clark, Richard Irving aud others, OF
New York city, and John Echols, OF
Virginia, who Jointly and severally
unite i'm the covenant!
The impresionthat the Pennsylvania
Central had purchased a controlling
interest in the Short Line some time
ago was made by the fact that the
Louisville, Lexington and Cincinnati
Company borrowed money Of the Penn
sylvania Company, which held stock as
security. There is no doubt the Penn
sylvanis Company wished to purchase
the road, but the Louisville, Cincinnati
and Lexington do not consider that
they have done anything but what is
strictly honorable. The past relations
between the t~o@rosds were pleasant
and friendly, but not such as to place
the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexipg.
ton under obligations to the other. The
Chesapeake and Ohio outbid the Penn
sylvania, and the managers of the Short
Line felt free to accept" a.. -.

ADDITIONAL RETURNS.

The Charleston Courier comes TO us
this week all jubilant with Growing
cocks and brim-full Of rejoicing over the
Democratic victory. We gather from
it the following election returns that
have not been published here:
The Democratic majority in Mason
county is 225, Csbell $50, Fayette $40
Nicholas $50, Raleigh $50, Peasants
90, Writ 24O, Doddridge 40, Putnam
400, Wyoming II Republican. Wyo
ming, Mcdowell and Raleigh constitute
adelegate district, in which the Demo
cratic candidates are elected. Roane
Boone, Pocahontas and Summers are
reported largely Democratic. though nc
figures are given. The Courier esti
mates the Democratic majority in the
States at $1,000, though it seems prob
able it will exceed that number. Some
time must elapse before the exact figure;
can be given.

DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

Amid all our rejoicings over the grea
victory that has been won, we must no
lose sight Of the duties which this tri
umph imposes. The whole power o.
tie State is now in Democratic hands
A new Constitution is to be formed and
fresh impetus is to be given TO all that
will promote the common good. The
occasion calls for the exercise of the
highest qualities of craftsmanship, the
utmost prudence and the wisest counsel
1t will not he sufficient for us to do
merely as ,oeN as the Republican party
has done; we must do better. The new
Constitution must improve upon the
old, and the State government must be
better administered by Democrats than
it has ever been by Republicans in the
past. Our duty to the State demands
this at our hands and the continued
ascendancy of the Democratic party is
conditioned upon its justice, wisdom and
moderation at this time. The Parkers
burg Gazette Of this week has the fol-
lowing timely words upon the subject,
which we commend to our readers:
"This large majority is very serious
thing, as it throws the whole RESPONSE
bility of the State government upon the
Democratic party. 1t has been said
that the next worse thing to a great
defeat is a great victory not properly
used. We wish now, during the exulta
ton OF our friends, to caution them
against excuses. Toremind them that
political revolutions are continually
occurring in this, as in all other coun'
tries, and no party can hold its power
that does not protect the interests, per-
son and property Of all the people, with
out regard TO party.
1--WE would call their attention tc
the political revolution Of 1910, which
swept off the Democratic party as with
a." bosom Of destruction" and yet with
a President and both Houses Of Con
gress, the Wing administration only
lasted one term. The Democratic party
then resumed its sway. The people
may be hoodwinked for a while, but
not long, and if the great power the
Democratic party now has Is not used
with wisdom, justice and discretion, il
will be thrown higher than kite, in
less time than it will take to snap an
old gun.
"In the hey.dey Of our great victory
let US not forget ourselves, but remem
Der that the tree that is cut down may
sprout again. Let us do right and then
we will be invulnerable.'
