Of Itself does not necessarily furnish tho

IRE the worst taxed people in any country.

most astonishing that tho people can
stand It at ut all. Only tho diversity OF
climate, soil and products have enabled us
TO make eight percent more than We have
consumed or we could not have stood it.
This eight percent has made us rich and
made this taxation tolerble." 1t must

CAMDEN Sor coxsoLlnArEn.
Said u gentleman in Weston to me day
or two ago: Senator Cap,der's friends
can not without stnltiiyiug themselves,
work or vote for Judge Brannon. When
Mr.. Camden was candidate for the
United States Senate, several years ago
his most obstinate opponent was Judge
Brannon. His other opponents took their
defeat p.,losophically and Went home sat.
ished: The Judge, however, sulke,l for
months and whenever opportunity offered
made IN effort to recprocate the flvors
extended to him. Mr. Andrew Edmiston,
ms nephew, was supporter OF Mr.. Cam
ten, and when Mr.. EdIniston again Of
tered himself for the House OF Delegates.
he was defeated, laryely it is charged
through the instrumentality OF Judge
Br1nnon. Senator Camden was ckarac.
terlzetl as Il d-d imbecile and un-
fitted for the place. Mr.. Camden
IS held in very high esteem in Lewis
county, for through his aid and enterprise
the railroad was built to Weston and
Backhannon. ffG has aiGa done much ior
his native county in other directions.
Judge Brannon's candidacy ut this time is
generally regarded as Il preliminary step
to L vigorous canvass. for the Suggestion to
Mr. Camden three years hence. His ma.
terial aid to the Charlestonians in t,time
OF need will bring to him some OF the
kanawha valley delegates. The Senator
will likely come from this end oi the State,
md tie Judge will no doubt attempt to
buck his .'intellee4.' against ,hs dl,,a's Of
Mr. Camden. It has been noticeable that
the Camden clan has given the Judge no
very enthusiastic support. c.s.u.
