Archie Bliss Successor.


Thomas F. Magner, new Congressman in
Archie Bliss fifth district shoes, is a surprising
instance Of swift climbing in politics. He is
twenty-eight years old, of slight figure and no
vast intellectually; blessed with handsome
wife and a rich father-in-law, both of whom
have combined to his advantage. In the assem-
bly, last year he made barely traceable record.
but it was honest and pointed in the right d.
rection. When one considers what Congress-
man should be, however, it is rather amazing
that Magner, should get there. Much of his
time is spent in being astonishcd at himself.
His ambition is vested in his wifi, The single
term served in the assembly permitted him to
gain some insight into legislative life, though
the halls of Congress are as far above those of
the state as the Rockies are above the Adiron-
dacks. Unless he makes some surprising de-
velopment it will be hard for him to keep from
getting lost. When 80 sturdy citizen of the
world as the Hon. Stephen Van Cullen White
has difficulty in lifting his head above the level
of the stream the chances of such an airy fig
ment as Magner are somewhat limited. With
the republicans in power in the House and adj
ministration there will be little toll before him.
Even the chief occupation Of his illustrious
predecessor-getting men jobs in the navy
yard-will be denied him. Congressman are,
by some fatality of selection or location, seldom
anything but inconspicuous during their ca
reers, and about the only use of their honors il
in properly rounding out their obituaries.

the sacred institution of human slavery
The announcement of an address by such
man of course filled the court room by
the best people of the town, many of them
ladies. Judge Kenn0n, ST, was made
chairman. The Judge had all his life, I'M
til the outbreak of the war, been a Dem
oerat of the most orthodox description,
and had accepted Of the institution of
slavery as an affair for whose creation he
was not responsible, and a concern that
the States alone had control Of DR..
Young began his address in a quiet voice.
Warming up as he progressed with 1t, he
finally boldly proclaimed that the nation
could not succeed until it had stricken
down the institution of chattel slavery,
which he characterized as the monument
al crime of the century. The declaration
fell upon his audience like clap of thun-
der from a clear sky. Judge Kennon mo-
toned to Judge Cowen, sitting near by,
to take his place, and left the room, griev

erected about the beginning of the cen
tury, stood on the ground occupied by the
brick building lately used for county Off
ces. 1t was built of hewed logs, and was
a two-story building. The upper floor
was used for a court room, and the lower
for jail and residence for the Sheriff
After a prisoner had undertaken to bore
his way through the logs to freedom, the
jail was lined with two-inch oak plankS.
Such was the jail of this county in prim-
tive times. But your expert Jail break
ers We're unknown in these parts.
The entrance to the court room was by
an outside stairway, over which the roof
projected. One of the posts supporting
the landing was used for whipping post,
to which malefactors sentenced to be
whipped were tied and the lashes laid
upon their bare backs by the Sheriff. The
venerable Robert Thompson, from whom
we gather the facts about that old build
ing, thinks the ground was fully fifteen
feet higher there then than now. Mr..
Thompson witnessed whippings at the
whipping post when lad, and recalls an
occasion when two men were brought out
20 the post together. The first beloved
ike bull while he was being whipped,
while the other received a whipping sto-
ically, only once speaking, and then sui
lenly, "Strike lower" Mr.. Thompson is
in his 85th year. Except defective hear
ing, his faculties are good, and in green
old age he would greatly enjoy life but for
this infrmity.
To-day the courts and county offices are
located in a magnificent building of stone
and iron. Instead of the blazing wood
ire and the rude lights of the pioneers,
IRE steam radiators and gas lights, and all
the surroundings of a luxurious age.

ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE.

Mr. Isaac Murdaugh died at the resi-
dence of NJ R. Smylie, Martins Ferry,
last Thursday evening.
Mr. Murdaugh was making his final
visit among relatives when he was sud
denly stricken down. After supper, while
sitting in a chair conversing with Mr..
Smylie, it was noticed that something
was wrong with his speech, and suddenly
the angel of death cast its shadow over
him, and his course was finished.
Isaac Murdaugh was born in Chester
county, Pa. He came West with his par
ents about 1918. First made his home at
Mt Pleasant, where he was married,
working at bricklaying in summer and
milling in winter. Afterwards he had
charge of Kinsey's and Patterson's mills,
then bought the mill at Burr's, and af-
terward the MorriStown mill.
Deceased was widely known in this
county, and was highly respected. 4 son
Oewis G. Murdaugh) owns and operates
the st. Clairsville Touring mill. Inter-
ment at Morristown on Sunday.
