that emanates from evil associations

LAWYER CLlFFoRD's CLIENT &C
QUILTED
The Jary Render averdiOi Of Not ouIII


Harvey Green's case was taken up
about ten O'Clock in the morning and
jury impanelled. Mr.. j. r. Cliff
ford, the colored lawyer from Mar
tiDsburg, defended Green and was
assisted in the selection of the jury
by Mr.. b. A. Richmond. After the
impanelling he conducted the case
alone. A large number Of witnesses
were examined and their testimony
was pretty much to the effect that
Green merely defended himself in
killing Charles Ross.
Mr.. Sloan led off for the State and
was followed by Mr.. Clifford, who
argued clearly, and at times impress
sively, for his client. He has clear
voice, highly pitched and his words
can be heard all over the Court room.
His arguments are forcible and his
knowledge Of law is full. In tilt
he holds his own. The trial of the
case was continued until $40 0 clock,
when at that time it was given to the

The Iaeliigencer's correspondent,
in the issue of that paper for Thurs !
day, strikes an unnecessary and un-
worthy blow at Martinsburg as a
place for holding conventions. Our
town is as central to the other PEG.
Pile of the State as are their towns to
us. We are near Washington and
the large eastern cities, to which
places, delegates usually extend the If
trip. There is no Just or proper
reason for this attack upon Martins
burg, and the editor of the HateH
gencer should correct it.

EXCELLENT TICKETS

Both parties are to be congratu-
lated upon their selection of candi-
dates for Mayor and Councilmen.
There will be close tussle for
success and, as full vote is very
seldom gotten out on municipal cleo
tions, the result will be doubtful. If
a full vote should be gotten out, the
republicans viii win in a majority OF
the wards. We understand that for
the first time in this section, the new
system of voting will be used, and
just what effect that may have up
on voters as to depositing straight
or cut ballots cannot be foreseen'
The theory is, that it will result III
less cut ballots, and that 1t VIII cause
many voters who are unable to read
TO remain at home.

rHE STATE CONVENTION

The people of Martinsburg and of
Berkeley county, without regard to
party, are enthusiastic in thanks for
honor and favor rendered them by
the State Committee, in holding the
republican convention in this place.
We have an excellent town, good no
tets, large halls for use of conven
tions, and hospitable citizens, who
are glad always to see representatives
from sister counties of the State
The convention, as is usual, had
some sparring among contesting ele
ments, but altogether, was very har
monious, pleasant and enjoyable
1t was a profitable day for the re-
publicans, well spent, and, 50 far as
tariff is concerned, very convincing
that the country is better off with
the Mckinley bill.

An Ear Machine.

The ear machine is one of the latest
beautifiers. 1t is merely a bit of sprung
steel, so shaped as to come down over the
ears and press them back when they
stand out too prominently. One can
hardly blame people for using them.
Ears that stand out from the head like
handles from the side of a jug are not
pretty. If a mother sees that her child
is likely to be so afflicted she can easily
remedy the difficulty by little trouble.

Difference in snoncer.

There are very many people who can
not tell the difference between Turkey
cups" and common reef sponges, and
they are astounded at the difference in
price. They are asked So for what they
think they can get just as good for
twenty-five cents. There are sponges
from Florida called sleeps wool, which,
in the opinion of many buyers, are as
good, although much cheaper, for all
practical purposes as the silk ones They
are used mainly for washing carriages,
although they make a good bathing
sponge. Reef sponges come from Cuba
and Nassau. Turkey cups from around
the islands of the Archipelago. Sleeps
wool and reef sponges come in ten.
twenty and forty pound bales, and the
finest of the former, known as Rock
Island goods, sell wholesale at from 81. 80
to 1918 per pound. The Turkey cups
are sorted at London and Paris into three
qualities and sent to us in bags They
are sold by the piece. Boston Globe
