age OF ten years Anthony removed with his
father to an estate inherited by his mother
in Virginia and received his education at
the academy in Charles Town, Jefferson
county. After graduating he commenced
the study of law, but abandoned it and en-
gagged in the pursuit of agriculture. He
subsequently entered actively into the pol
itics of the State, and as wing represented
Jefferson county in the Legislature from
1888 to 1912 He was presidential elector
during the campaign of President Zachary
Taylor. He filled for long period the po-
sition of magistrate on the bench of the
County Court under the old constitution, a
position of dignity and honor. In 1917 he
was unanimously nominated by wing
convention over several prominent compel
itOrs for Congress in the then Tenth district
comprising the six upper counties Of the
Valley of Virginia, at that time represented
by the Hon. Henry Bedinger, and was de-
feated by the small vote of sixty after an
exciting contest. His first wife was Miss
cambridge, of THE Bower, " in this county.
In 1850 Mr.. Kennedy was rendered, by
President Fillmore, the consulship to Cuba,
as the successor of General Campbell, of
South Carolina but declined the appoint
ment, and in the following year married
his second wife Miss Hughes, a daughter
Of the late Christopher Hughes, former
minister to Stockholm. In 1889 he was
elected from Baltimore to the House of
Delegates At this session he was chosen
by the General Assembly United States
Senator from Maryland for the full term,
1857 to 1868, to succeed the Hon. Thomas

sl.elch Of col. Kn,. A. Mao COrkIe.

Tho Charleston Gazette furnishes Tie fol-
lowing biographical sketch of Col. WIN. a.
MacCorkle, the democratic nominee lOr
Governor Of West Virginia;
civilian A. MacCorkle was born near
Lexington, ROckbridge county, Va, on the
9TH Of May, 1858. He is the oldest son OF
the late VIM. MacCorkle, also native oil
Rockbridge county, Va. He comes from
long line Of Scotch Presbyterian ministers
and elders. When William was only four
wears old his father died, having removed
with his family to Missouri. Previous TO
the war the elder MacCOrkle was in excel
lent circumstances, but near the close OF
the war he was utterly broken up by the
invasion of the Federal armies into Vir-
ginia. William and his mother therefore
had struggle in life, but the boy was re-
markable for his energy and perseverance,
aud worked hard to support his mother
Mrs. MacCorkle and her three children re-
turned to Virginia, and William entered
the Washington & Lee University at Lex
ington, from which he subsequently gradu-
ated-from the law course of that institu-
tion-when only twenty years of age. He
was remarkably hard student. His mo-
Their states that she never saw him asleep at
any time while attending school except
when she saw him lying across table with
his head buried in book. Hard labor has
been the foundation of his success. Soon
after graduating from Washington and Lee
University he came to Charleston to seek
his fortune. He arrived here in the year
1879 almost penniless and taught one term
of private school. By this means he was
enabled to support himself and at the same
time render some assistance to his widowed
mother, till he was enabled to gain some
practice in the profession of law. He sue
ceeded in building up lucrative practice
and since his residence in Charleston has
been very successful at the bar. The only
civil office he ever held or sought was that
of city solicitor of Charleston, which he
held for three consecutive terms. At pres
ent he is largely interested financially in
various business interests of Charleston and
of the State He has given a great deal OF
thought and labor to the material develop
ment of West Virginia"

Col. c. w. Z. Black, one of the leaders
among the Republicans of West Virginia,
and chairman of the Second Congressional
district committee, was talking with his
friend, Hon. James d. Butt, Of Harper's
Ferry, at the Riggs House last night, says
the Washington Post of Thursday. The
latter Endorsed all that Col. Black had to
say in regard to the politics Of the Mountain
State. "Our State convention will meet
next week " he said, land hope will choose
that brilliant, able and popular gentleman,
Hon. G.. ". Atkinson, Of Wheeling, as the
Republican gubernatorial candidate. He
is the one man with whom we can win. No
man in the State is better liked, no one
would arouse such feelings of enthusiasm.
The young men are particularly devoted to
him and would work for his success with
unwonted energy The Republicans have
now a golden opportunity of redeeming
West Virginia from Democratic DONNA
ton, and if they are wise will utilize it by
nominating Atkinson.
