ests OF the manufacturers, AS well as the
consumers of the land, demand the rec

we cannot retract. We are nonorably

FLATTERING TO THE SOUTH.

, The south is coming in for the
most Aattering notices from the
newspapers all over the country,
and this section bids fair in a very
short time to be the center of vast
developmental process that means
great things for Our growth and
prosperity. The Cincinnati Price
Current, one OF the most thoroughly
responsible publications of its kind
in this country, speaking under the
head of Charitable Trade CondIt
tions," says editorially:
sit seems fortunate that although
the crops in some parts OF the coun>
try are deficient, yet in the south
they are as rule abundant, and the
accounts from that part of the coun-
try regarding the condition of gen.
eral trade are fattering. The great
staple crop of the south is of course
cotton, and the season has been
favorable for an exceptionally good
yield; this will bring money into
the south from Europe, and trade
there, if not already booming, has
become fairly active III many lines
of business. The south has not
been free from labor trouble the
past few months, but the coal minis
ers' strike was confined to cons
paratively small part Of it, and it is
more free from entangling alliances
than most other parts of the country.
There has been succession of labor
troubles in the north, and now we
have accounts of great disturbances
in the cotton manufacturing districts
of New England, which may extend
and become formidable, but the
south is absolutely free from these,
and if it remains Sc, it is not un-
likely that the capital and immigra-
ton which had been previously at
tracted to the northern states will
change it's direction and go south,
where the climate is salubrious and
the opportunity for employing capi>
tai and labor is scarcely equaled in
the northern states. 1t appears
probable that the eou.h will enjoy a
degree of prosperity the coming year
which will attract more general at
tention than ever before

WITHOUT A MISSION.

Albany Herald.
The third party is without a mis-
sion and absolutely without any
rational or patriotic reason for ex-
istance in Georgia.
Let us suppose, for, the sake Of
argument, that the porulists were
to carry the State in October, elect
ing Governor and legislature-what
would they do what could they do
to better our State government.
The democratic administration OF
Georgia has been clean, and is to-
day absolutely without repfoach.
1t cannot be truthfully charged with
corruption or extravaganza, and
there is no fraud or population in
the official circle of the State to ex>
pose-no abuse to reform.
Really there is no demand for a
new party in Georgia; there is moth
ing that one can do to better the
condition of the people or Tighten
the burden of taxation.

ENDORSED,

Hon. George F. Gober, Judge of
the Blue Ridge circuit, was in Eli
joy Tuesday night on business.
Judge Gober is a man that has many
friends in this part of Georgia, and
is making this circuit one of the
best judges she has ever had. His
friends in Gilmer, while they would
regret to give him up, would be glad
TO see him promoted to seat on
the supreme bench. He would
make an able supreme court Judge
and do honor to all Georgia.-Elli-
jay Courier.

DIR. FELTON, THEN AND NOW.

Politics makes strange bed fellows.
As the truth of this we take the
following extracts from a speech de-
livered by DR.. W. H. FELTON, in MAJ
rietta at the court house, in Sep
TENDER, 1890, when he was Jeffer,
sonian democratic candidate for con.
gress:
Il am the nominee OF ironebound, steel
ribbed, rock.bottom Democrats. | have
been a prodigal in the past and wandered
off, but, thank God, have got back home
at last / am back in the Democratic par
ty TO stay and | feel comfortable in being
back" who nominated Everett any>
how? 1t was skew-balled convention
he was put out by sub>alliances, a secret
order, dark>lantern crowd, where they
had to pay Is cents for a whispered pass
word to get to sling vote. God save my
occupation as a farmer when it peters I'M
til it required % cents to be paid for the
honor of casting his vote" The Doctor
then compared them to the Know othing
party, Spanish inquisition and the Star
Chamber OF England MY fellow citizens

Then continued the Doctor: These SUBJ
treasury fellows want to get III Office. If
You ask them If they are in favor of free
coinage, they will say l am for the SUBJ
treasury or something better. If YOU ask
them If they want more greenbacks, they
say | am tor the sub>treasury or something
better. If you ask them if they want more
gold, they reply they are for the sub-tress>
ury or something better. That is their
cry. The sub>treasnry bill would fill this
country with a swarm OF President Harri>
SON. appointees, like the locusts of Egypt
to devour your substance. 1t is absurd
and unGemocrtic. 1t would make the poor
farmer poorer and the rich man richer. 1t
would corner wheat, oats and corn in those
warehouses in the west and raise the price
OF -four, &c, imposing burdens upon the
laborinc people of this country and make
the government pawnbroker The Nor>
way rats would nest in the warehouses and
carry off the wheat and the government
would be the loser"
Thus spoke DR.. FELTON, in 1890.
Now in 1894 he accepts the third
party nomination for Congress, swal-
lows the Omaha platform, sub-trcas-
ury, Norway rats and all.
Can you vote for such topper
We should think not.

JUST so.

All these long-winded theories
and discussions are enough to give
a man the headache. Theoretical
finance is the most wearisome thing
on earth, and the most unsatisfying.
The ordinary citizen doesn't need
much OF it. A few plain rules are
all be needs in his business some
thing like these
l. If you haven't got a dollar
and want one you will have to sell
dollars worth of something to get
it.
?. If you have a dollars worth
of something that somebody wants,
you can get dollar for it.
8 If the calculating medium were
500 per capita and you didn't have
dollars worth of sohe thing to sell
you wouldn't be able to get dollar.

The POPULIST WAY TO PREVENT
STRIKES.

The populists demand the govern
merit ownership aud control of rail.
roads, because, among other reasons,
such control ''will prevent strikes"
That is Mr.. Debs' opinion, and the
opinion of several of the people who
have testified before the Chicago
labor commission.
a cable dispatch from London
shows pretty we'll that, as a matter
of fact, government control will not
prevent strikes. But in an entirely
different manner from that contem>
plated by the populists and Mr..
Debs.
The railways of Russia street
railways as we'll as the greater steam
highways-are under government
control. Last week the street rail-
way employs in Odessa made de-
mand for higher wages. The de-
mand was refused and the men went
on strike. Immediately the police
were called out, and they forced the
strikers to 60 back to work at the
old wages. Had the police been re-
sisted, the military would have been
called out. Had. the trouble oc-
Cured on one Of the big railways a
detachment of the army would have
been sent against the strikers and
short work would have been made
of the strike.
And the trend Of such paternalism
as government control of railways is,
towards just such state of affairs
in this country as exists in Russia.
The end of the Odessa street railway
strike was but the logical outcome
of government control" A strike
was prevented" surely. Is that
the way the populists desire to pre-
vent strikes?

The tact that silver is being coin

HIS LAST APPEARANCE.

Or. W H. FELTON,, the third party
nominee for Congress, filled his en-
gagement mere, as advertised, last
Saturday noon. The Doctor has
appeared before the fcotlights fire.
quently in Marietta under different
combinations and has always drawn
coed audiences; but positively this
is "his last appearance" before the
public as political gymnast and
party topper. 1t is his ''fal ewell
tour" after the filling of which lie
will permanently retire to his home
"near Gainesville" In his PALMER
days, he has appeared before the
dazzling and enchanting lights OF
Washington, but in later years he
has only filled a few unimportant
engagements in the 7th district. 1t
was his purpose no: to make another
tour, and even after accepting the
present engagement, he penned a
letter Withdrawing, but the mana
gers Of the present combination,
Messrs. Watson and Hines, visited
his home, and after many hours of
artful pleading and rehearsing of
the part Of this last stupendous and
side splitting farce, persuaded the
Doctor to continue with the CONS
binat;on until it is disbanded in
November. Although the prospect
of successful tour was very dis
couraging and gloomy, the Doctor
agreed to carry out the program.
Tie role the Doctor plays has been
worn to a FRAGILE, is threadbare, and
is as chestnutty as an old minstrel
joke, yet some parts of it may inter
est few new political attendants,
but to majority of his audiences it
will prove dull and heavy, tor the
people these Gays like spryness and
real lively acting; but the Doctor is
now so enfeebled as to have to sit
il chair while he gesticulates and
crates. When he first made his APP
pearance on the stage, he was a
brilliant star actor and carried his
audiences by storm, but, alas, Old
Father Time bias laid his hand heavi-
ly upon him, and he lags superAu~
ously on the political stage. The
curtain will soon be rung down and
the players, Office. seekers and dema-
gCgues, who now tawn and flatter
him, will have deserted him aud
left him desolate in his old age.
1t is shame that this old man,
with whitened locks, lettering foot
steps and palsied limbs, should be
ruthlessly pulled from the privacy
of restful home, and his splendid
intellect made to do service leading
a forlorn and hopeless race and
have to undergo the humiliation of
certain defeat, in order to crafty
q few selfish politicians and office
seekers, who hope tteir party will
ne benefited by Feiton's speeches.
But the doctor has lost his grip.
Alas alas. We pity the sorro VS.
of the poor old man.

Or. j. Gregg Gibson.


It is with nnfeigned sympathy for
the sorrowing family, that we an
nounee the death ct one OF Jefferson
county's most worthy citizens, Dr.,
j. Gregg Gibson, of Shepherdstown,
who suffered stroke of paralysis in
his drug store about half past seven
O'Clock last Saturday evening. On
being carried to his home. he there.
amid the most loving devotion of
wife and children. passed from
strength To weakness in moment.
almost in the twinkling of an eve,
in perfect ease and peace. "Gnd's
finger touched him, and lie slept
from living vieor to deaths quietude.
His soul seemed on the wings of
prayer, flying to his Father in
Heaven, with the whisperings of
.ol. Lord give myself to thee,
It's all that can do"
DIR. Gibson was born in Romney,
Hampshire county, Va. CHOW W.
Va. } on January 3rd, 1928, thus be-
ing slightly over seventy-one years
of age. He moved with his fathers
family to near Winchester, Va, and
then in 1876 they settled in Charles
Town, and thereafter the doctor
lived in Martinsburg, Frederick
City, and in Jefferson county. He
was a graduate of Jefferson College
and also of the Medical De-
partlnent of the University of Penn
sylvania. His first wife was daugh-
ter of DIR. VIM. Waters, of Frederick
City, and his second wife, Miss AL
ice Grove, a sister of the late Hon.
Jas. II. Grove.
A widow and seven children sur
yive him-three daughters and four
sons-Mrs. PendIeton, of Wythe-
vile, Va. Mrs. Kimmell, of New
London, Md. w. w. Gibson, La
rede, Texas; James Gibson, ReaIi-
tos, Texas; and Miss Agnes, Robert
and Hopkins in Shepherdstown.
DIR. Gibson's eldest brother, JAS.
70. Gibson, died here some years
ago, aud his other brother, Col. Jno.
Thos. Gibson, lives in Charles Town.
DR.. Gibson had perhaps more friends
than any man in the county; he was
friend 10 all, and friend of all.
He was man against whom no per-
son has word of ccnsure. No man
in Shepherdstown Was better known
and more highly esteemed. Pos
sessed of a genial, warm and kindly
nature. he won the confidence of ev-
cry one, and to that confidence he
gave sympathetic response, as OF
heart TO heart in deeds of comfort aud
charity.
He seemed to live in constant re-
I membrance of the great truth, that
the amount of happiness enjoyed by
us is in proportion to the amount be-
slowed upon others. Especially in
the family circle did his Cody Yir-
tues shine with almost inspiring rn-
dance. A helping man; a dear
friend; cheerful acquaintance pure
in thought and word; a sincere
Christian an earnest, useful Free
mason; a man, tender. true and
rusty; steadfast, patient and for
giving hardly q meeSer, purer-
/ hearted, gentler and iuster man ever
lived, leaving among the living, more
cherished memories of goodness and
kindness in the family, among
friends and fellow-men.
The funeral will be from the Epis-
copaI church, in Shepherdstown, at
ESQ P. A., to-day, TUESDAY and
the interment in Elmwood Cemetery.
