To the Republicans Of Belmont County.
You will soon be called upon to indicate your
choice for a candidate for Congress. Two years
ago, by the unanimous vote of your delegates the
honor of leading ''fOrlorn hope" in a district
gerrymandered so as to give Democratic majority
was conferred upon me. But four weeks were al
lowed to make the contest, and in that time the
Democratic majority of 1852 at the proceeding
election, was reduced to 74s, and ran ahead of
my ticket in every county in the district The
county is now in Republican district and my
friends think l ought to have an opportunity TO
carry their banner when there is a chance of sue
cess. My services to the party in the county and
in the State are known to you ALL as is the manner
which discharged my duties in the two elective
positions, Auditor and Representative, conferred
upon me in thirty years of active service by your
votes. do not disguise the fact that this NOM
inatiOn, an endorsement and approval of
services would afford Inc great pleasure, and If
received pledge my most faithful and laboriOus
efforts tor the success of the patty and in the dis
charge of the duties of the office in the int rest of
my constituents and my country.

IF we are going this fall to clean out
the last vistage of Democracy in official
position in Belmont county, we want to
begin right now, and thus make an easy
job of it. This we can do, and this We
propose to do, but to do it without
detracting from the attention paid to
the rest of the ticket, good men must be
nominated for these two positions. In
a county as strongly Republican as Bel
mont, it is a shame on the party that
this long Democrat has been allowed
to remain in one of the most lucrative
offices in the county. We must make a
clean sweep this fall, and we must begin
now for the fray.

On Monday the twenty-first General
Conference of the NJ. E. church assem-
bled at Omaha. The first General Con-
ference, held at Baltimore in 1908,
represented a church of 100000 souls.
To-day this body stands as the supreme
court and highest legislative body of a
church of upwards of 100000 souls.
Unlike the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church which meets two
weeks hence, there are no grave ques-
tions of creed to be considered, but the
questions involved relate to practical
work rather than theological speculation.
The deliberations of body representing
a church of such strength will be closely
watched all over our land.

In the contemplation of Bradley
Johnson, "The brain of Mr.. Davis
worked like a perfect mechanism
given certain premises certain results
must follow" and yet "H,s personal
characteristics were not those gener-
ally possessed by successful men of
affairs. The soul OF honor,
the mirror Of chivalry, the embodiment
of generous friendship; patriot, sage,
soldier, x he will furnish the
model to future American citizens.
x But time will enlarge John
ston's reputation. If there is such a
thing as illfortune he had more than
his share. He never had the chance
that Lee had. Iohnston's
campaigns will be judged by the can
ons of military criticism-and the
highest authorities to-day of the mill
tary art consider them models for
study and imitation. The movement
from Yorktown to the Chickahominy,
beyond doubt, was mastery. x
But Johnston's reputation will rest on
the Dalton-Atlanta campaign. Thai
retreat has no parallel in military
history.
Fighting and falling back, falling
back and fighting, Johnston inflicted
on his enemy loss equal to his entire
fo>ee;; himself not losing one-ffth as
many as his adversary; x and
the order relieving him took all the
spirit out of his men. These
zOere the misfortanes eta great heart.
They zviX be repaired to him BY pos
terit. * This large heart,
this great intellect, this broad patriot
ism, this devoted lover, leaves figure
misty and rather obscure and hide
fined. But as time goes on it will be
more sharply defined; and he will be-
come more and more recognized as
one of the greatest men of. great
epoch, and as an Ideal for eondurt
and character in generations long
hereafter to be born.
His personal prowess, scientific at
tainments, and capacity for command
were known long before "The war
between the States" General Scott
ranked him second to no man in the
I United States army. His metal had
been tested in the Everglades of Flor
ida. and in the Mexican War; and the
following tribute is found on the 14th
and 18th pages of General Bradley
Johnson's book:
"Chapultepec is the historical for
tress of Mexico. Occupied by the Aztec
Emperors, it was retained by their
Spanish successors as the key to the
Valley Of Mexico and to the capitol
of the nation. Crowned by a strong
building OF masonry, which had been
a palace, the base of the hill was
girdled by stone wall four feet thick
and twenty feet high. The lower slope
was honeycombed with mines and
protected by breast-works, heavily
manned with troops.
Tie Place aOas inaccessible, sax by
storm. The position of the wall was
such as to render breach by artillery
impracticable; and the only way
through was to go over by aid of
ladders.

An exchange knows whereof it speaks
when it says: " Let it not be forgotten
that a newspaper does more to Develop
the resources of a county or town than
anything else. And let it be remem-
bered that newspaper IS the poorest
patronized industry in the land. 1t is
expected to do more gratuitous work
than any other institution or enter
prise in the community, and while it is
regarded as public necessity, its ef
forts are rarely appreciated at their
true value. Merchants and business
men owe their prosperity to great
extent to the influence to their town

]. E. Johnston. In their estimation
he was " Falling Back General" and
a failure generally. 1t is unimportan'
that Lee, Jackson, Forrest, Hardee
Grant, Sherman, Mcpherson, Schoheld

Il n of the art of war-Gauntless

as Turenne; our carping critics con
tlnue their disparagement until the
patience of the American people Is
exhausted.
A generous manifestation of feeling
amounting to Indignation, is found in
a recent work entitled Memoirs of J.
E. Johnston, by Bradley T. Johnson

of preparing the plant bed will be
found of interest and value to many
OF our readers:

ncac ..'tIe drains iii the 'oods. Rake
off the leaves and lay down small
poles-about three 80 inches in dl-
anctcr-fOur or five feet apart, all
over the size you wish the bed.
Through the middle, on a width OF
eight or ten feet, cover with wood
eighteen or twenty inches deep. Chlnk
in with dry wood and brush sufficient
TO burn till the Hskids" or poles be-
meath are consumed. Now with hooks
or hoes fastened to long handles, pull
thc remaining wood and chunks IN
opposite directions over a space OF SIX
or eight feet throw on wood enough
Z,
all the space IS gone over. Now clear
off the chunks and Goals, and hoe up
with grubbing hoes TO the depth OF
about three CD inches, taking care to
loosen the soil without bringing the
clay to the surface. Now make a lib
cral application of hog pen or hen
manure previously prepared by chop
ping fine. This is then chopped in
with hlllinS or wedding hoes and the
soil made perfectly fine by repeated
rakIng
If the location Is fiat, lay off in beds
SIN feet wide, with small shallow
trenches between for the drains. If
rolling none will be needed. The bed
IS now ready for the seed.
Nix well, in about peck of ashes,
one tablespoonful Of seed to each forty
Cto) square yards. Mark off with hoe
pr rake handle in widths of about four
teet. and SOW over, using about half
the seed then mark across and SOW
the other half. This is done to secure
regular seeding. Now tramp the patch
over with the feet or compress the soil
with a small roller, cover thickly with
brush, fence in and ditch around to
keep off surface water.
The beds can he thus prepared at
any time, when the soil is sufficiently
dry, from the 18th of November to
the ISt of March, and no further at
icntIon will be needed till the plants
are well up and square or have four
leaves. At this stage the nursing'
must begin. Spainkle over in mid day,
or early i'll the afternoon, some fine
concentrated fertilizer at the rate of
halt peck per fifty square yards, once
week, and increase the quantity as
the plants grow. Fresh stable or hen
manure, dried in the sun and finely
pulverlzed, and applied at the rate of
half bushel-more or less, according
10 s;rength-to the fifty square yards
Is about the best substitute for con-
Ccntratcd fertilizer. The point is to
bring the plants on early, IN time to
transplant from the 10th to the Goth
OF May.
After the plant begins to cover the
ground remove the brush, pick out the
grass and weeds, continue to manure
as before directed. Not less thru forty
square yards should be burned and
seeded for every acre allotted for the
crop.
