The obsolesent Wayne county
Democratic organ persists in the
assertion that the assessorship is a
political office. On what ground
he bases the sophistry by which
he reaches this remarkably con-
clusion the ADVANCE, has until
recently, been unable to see. The
difficulty arose from the want of a
correct definition of the term ''po-
litical Office" but by watching the
movements of corrupt court house
Ring and by TRANSMITTING certain
passages in the now rejected Bour-
bon Koran, we have been able to
obtain the following definition of
the term political office :" "a
POLITICAL office is one whose
advantages whether financial or
oth0rwise) can be turned to politi-
cal account, and the continuation
of the party in power in Office" If
this is the meaning of the term
then, when we consider the mum .
Der of legal voters in this county
that would have been DISTINGUISHED
by certain Democratic assessors
but for the timSly interference of
those interested in their behalf.
and the oppressive tax laid upon
the poor farmers, together with
many other Irregularities to be
laid at the door of Democracy, we
are ready to admit that the office
under consideration is a political
one in the fullest sense of that
term. This is not the construction
placed upon that Office by the Re-
publican party or its candidate for
the office, and we assure those Dem
Gratis who intend to vote for the
latter, that if he is elected, they
need not be afraid tkat any voter
of either party will be denied the
right to vote by his trickery or
neglect.

Another pack of about one hun
dred Italians came down the line
to Kenova, Saturday, to be shipped
to other places. There are thous-
ands of these vagabond, filth eat
ing, disease generators, who are
robbing our poor American labor
ers of the work that rightfully be-
longs to them. If these people
would come on equal terms with
the native laborers make their
homes in this country, and live as
human beings, as do the Germans,
and Irish, it would be less mat
ter, but as it is they carry away
the small pittance they receive,
never spending anything here to
purchase home, or scarcely any
thing for clothing or food, prefer
ring to live on stale bread and
clothe themselves in rags. And
this is the level to which our day
laborers must be reduced if the
tide of this class of emigration is
not stopped Reporter.

The Tide Has Turned.
A Flour MIL.

Capt. VIM. Smiley, of Catletts-
burg who is manager of the Sea
Lion Tow Boat line, and the Cat
lettsburg ferry Co. and is inter
ested in other enterprises In the
Big Sandy valley, has broken soil
for flour mill on Pine street, be-
tween 18th and 10Th streets which
location will be adjacent to the
G. & o. railroad and CONVENIENTLY
accessible to the belt line and
steamboat landing. The mill which
will be in charge of Mr.. thinner
man of Louisa, KY, we'll known
throughout the Sandy Valley as a
excellent practical miller, will
start with a daily capacity of so
barrels, and will be increased to
keep pace with the growth of the
business.
The latest machinery will be us
ed throughout and the flour placed
ON the market will be equal TO the
best grades made. When il is con
sidered that there is mining popu.
lation of 1900, between Kenova and
Bluefield, to say nothing of the
scattered population of the Twelve
Pole and Tug River Valleys, it can
be readily seen that Kenova has
right at her door, a market for all
the -four she can produce. While
the mill does not employ a large
number OF men, yet il will be Of
great Importance to the place by
drawing hither many farmers, with
their wheat and corn, a part of the
price of which will be spent in our
stores.-l Reporter.
