During the past four years the process

of sugar from sorghum and sugar cane, has
been introduced into this country and

THE vscE-PRESiDENCY.

The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland for
President by the Democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis being foregone con-
clusion, the only question of any mo-
ment to be acted upon is the selection
of a candidate for Vice-President.
Foremost among those who are spo-
ken of is Hon. Allen &. Thurman, OF
Ohio. Although this old and tried
Democrat has retired from politics, he
is being strongly urged for the good
of the party to give his consent to run,
and will doubtless do so. The only
objection that can be made to Mr..
Thurman is mis- age. 1t is just posi-
bic that the next Senate will be SO
close that the presiding officer will
have the deciding vote, and in case of
death of the Vice President a Repub-
lican Senator might be chosen to fill
the chair, thus giving that party the
advantage. Tie would probably be
the best man, however that could be
chosen for the position, and would add
great strength 10 the party.
Hon. Henry q. Davis, of West Nir-
ginia, is also spoken of i'll this connec-
ton. but there don't seem to be any
great call for Mr.. Davis either from
his own State or elsewhere.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor-This being the hundredth
anniversary of the invention and sue
cessful navigation of the steamboat,
and Shepherdstown being its birth
Mace il would be conmendable in
our citizens, in harmonious accord, to
at once inaugurate steps toward prop
erly celebrating its centennial history
The Rumsey boat. built, equipped and
propelled at this place in 1888, was I'M
questionably the first steamboat of
the world Let us then observe the
event by having an old-fashioned OK
roast and barbecue at Swearingen's
Spring At this ancient town resort,
with all the concomitant pleasures
and sports of colonial days, have a
rousing jubilee near the spot where
Rumsey made his heroic trip against
the current, witnessed by Washington
and other distinguished men, includ-
ing a noted revolutionary General,
who in the joy of his heart and the be-
wilderment of his brain exclaimed,
Great God, she moves
Now, too, is the oppOrtune time to
memorabilia Congress for an adequate
appropriation to erect a suitable mon
ument to the memory Of the inventor,
James Rumsey. With proper exertion
on the part of our Representative the
requisite amount may be obtained.
SO now let every man, woman and
child of the town unite in sanctioning
and cooperating in this philanthropic
object, which, if obtained, would be
an ornament TO the town and last
ing memento for future generations
to admire, venerate and reverence.
High on the bank of the "Cohongoroota riv-
er,
Where whooped the red man, armed with
bow and CULVER,
There plant the stundard-l marble Rumsey
Shaft,
Towering on the stream that bore his virgin
craft.
Dedicate the day with music, song and story;
Decorate The stone, crown with wreath OF
glory:
Commemorate the place where, a hundred
years ago,
The achievement of steam the world was
taught TO know.

Father and Son Shot Down.

4 special from Webster, n. c., says
that n few days ago Allen b. Dills, n
well-known farmer, shot and killed
William II. Bungarner and fatally
wounded his father, Logan Bumgar-
ner. The difficulty grew out of mis-
understanding about small tract of
land, and is the termination of an old
feud. The Bungarners had been at
work on the disputed land during the
morning. While they were at dinner
Dills went to the spot armed with
double-barreled gun and awaited their
return. As they approached Dills
said: Don't come any further or ii
shoot" They however, continued to
approach Dills discharged one barrel
OF the gun without doing any damage
and attempted to fire again, but the
cap snapped. and as the elder Bum
garner continued to approach Dills
drew a pistol and fired several shots,
all of which took effect on the old
man. who fell. The young man who
had a single-barreled gun, then fired
at Dils and turned TO run. Dills fired
upon him, striking him in the back,
and he ran a short distance and fell
dead. Dills made his escape, and is
still at large. The latest report says
the old man Bumgarner has seven
bullets in him, and is expected to
die.

WE observe that our neighbor the
Ne,rs is booming Hon. Jos. S. Duck
wall for Judge of this Judicial Circuit.
While Mr. Duckwall is an uncompro-
missing Democrat, and while we pre-
fer the election of Republican, yet
among the Democrats who have been
named for this office we, in common
with all the Republicans of this county,
prefer Mr. Duckwall to any other one
named. Although we are opposed to
him politically, still we believe him to
be eminently fit for the honorable
position, and if he is nominated we
believe he will poll large vote in
Morgan.-Morgan Mercury.
