More Shame.

There has been trouble for several
months past at Bluefelds on the Mos
quito coast of Central America, be-
tween the N;caraguans on one side
and the natives and foreigners, most
ly Americans and British, en- the
other American and British men-of-
war have been there to protect the in
terests Of their people. Recently. the
Nicaraguans have been succe ssful.
The British, as they always do, pro-
tected their subjects, but Americans
have been deserted and left to the
mercy of their foe, which SO incensed
them that they tore down "Old
Glory" and hoisted the British flag in
stead Once things were not SO.

Attention, Farmers /.

The price of wheat is SO low that i
behooves you to curtail expenses
Recognizing the fact, we have mad,
arrangements to handle Retsof "C
Fertilizer. By placing large order
we are enabled to furnish you thi.
grade of goods way down.
Retsof is the natural American Rock
Salt crushed, and has but I-33H of ]
per cent insoluble matter according
to the analysis made by DR.. ]. A.
Myers of the West Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station
1t is sold under the Laws Of West
Virginia, regulating the sale of Ferti-
lizers. 1t has been tested in this
county with perfectly satisfactory
returns.
We claim the following advantages
for Retsof &c" on wheat, barley and
grass
I. 1t keeps land cool and moist,
being more of an absorbant than fer.
tilizer proper.
2. 1t neutralizes drought
8. 1t externinates all soil vermin.
A. 1t glazes and stiffens straw
preventing crinkling and rust.
S. 1t keeps the soil in such condi-
ton that the berry of all kinds OF
grain fills plumply regardless of hot,
dry weather.
s. 1t is a splendid substitute for
either plaster or Kanite and much less
expensive.
Retsof CO. is the Natural Rock
Salt crushed.
1t should be broadcasted as soon
after blowing as possible to give time
for it to thoroughly diffuse through the
soil before sowing the grain. Most
excellent results, however, have been
obtained by mixing South Carolina
and Retsof &C. equal parts and drill
ling in with the grain.
Mr.. Geo. A. Means, of Hedgesville,
will call upon all in the northern end
of the county. Would be pleased to
have you call and investigate.

TO RUIN OUR WOOL INDUSTRY.
English Manufacturers Ready to Sell
Here at Less Than Cost.

Here at Less Than Cost.
A special to the New York Press
from Providence, R. l., says:
fIu an interview with Press repor-
ter, leading wooden manufacturer of
Rhode Island, who has been in New
York looking over the condition of
the wooden market, said that the out
look for the domestic producer is far
from encouraging. While the COM
mission houses have not large stock
on hand, and surface indications point
to a revival in the near future, he
has reliable information that three OF
the largest wooden manufacturers in
England have combined for the con
troll of the American market, and
their agent is now here looking over
the ground, with instructions to Sc
cure its control, at no matter what
price or sacrifice.
Either of these mills is larger than
any in This country, and their produc-
ton of WOODEN goods is enormous.
He states that other large concerns
have the same plan under considera-
ton, and he looks for long and bit
ter fight for the preservation OF this
great industry, on which so many are
dependent. The English manufactur-
ers are prepared to undersell the
American manufacturers, however
low the prices made by the latter.
Their warehouses are filled with goods
from cellar to attic, which have been
been accommodating ever since the cleo
tion of Grover Cleveland as President.

Mr.. DAWsON,s VIEWS
As to the Prospects OF Republican
Success in West Virginia.

In an interview with ex-senator
William NJ. o. Dawson, chairman Of
1.-THE Republican State Committee, in
answer to question as to the pros
poets of Republican success in the
State. Mr.. Dawson replied:
Very bright for the Republicans.
if our people don't get overcon6dent.
Overconhdence can beat as, and it
may. The Democrats realize that
they must make desperate fight,
and they'll do it. If we fail to make
a complete organization and to get
every one of our voters to the polls,
we may be beaten; otherwise we will
win. =
''How about this. the Second Con-
gressional District ?"
81 think we can and will defeat Mr..
Wilson. Now Mr.. Wilson is sincere
and able man, and he is sincere be-
lever it a low tariff, which is, practi-
cally free trade. His sincerity and
ability make it the more necessary
that he be defeated. for less able and
sincere man could not do us SO much
harm as he, and certainly it is not to
the interest of this district to have
free coal, free wool, free lumber, and
free every thing that we produce. and
have things we don't produce, but
must have taxed, such as sugar and
rice. | can't understand why Mr..
Wilson allows his own district to be
Disseminated against. If Louisiana
sugar is protected (taxed, the DEM
,crats call it, and Carolina rice be
protected, why can we have a little
100? There is passage in the Good
Book about he who provides not for his
own household being worse than an
unbeliever. Mr. Wilson uncovers his
own people and at the same time COM
pels them to help buy bedclothes for
other people

VIII be Provided For.

A Washington dispatch says:
Even Congressman William l.
Wilson, the father of the Wilson bill
is said to have little faith in the pros
poets of reelection. In all the tariff
ups and downs the President has stuck
by Mr.. Wilson, and on every occasion
the latter has rcligiously obeyed the
Presidents commands.
Reports have been i'll circulation O
]ate that Mr.. Wilson will not seek re-
election, and that Mr. Cleveland. is tc
offer him an important position. Now
the report goes that he is to have
a cabinet portfolio, and that either
Mr.. Carlisle or Mr.. Gresham is to re.
tire. This is followed by another
story that he is to be placed at the
head of bureau in the Treasury De.
partment. And SO the rumors chase
one another, giving Mr. Wilson little
rest. He is by no means in vigorous
health, and these stories have an i'll
effect on him. 1t is said that if Mr..
Wilson consents to run again for Con-
gress his Republican opponent will be
Stephen B. Elkins. Mr.. Elkins is
an aggressive fighter. and one of the
strongest men in West Virginia. -

A Protectionist Named in Virginia.

Special to the New Yo1k Press.
RICHMOND, Aug. I6.-The Repub.
licans Of the Ninth district to day nom
mated General James A. Walker for
Congress. He is one of the ablest
lawyers in Virginia, and recently left
the Democratic party because he could
not indorse their position on the tar
if. He will make the fight squarely
on the protection issue. The district
is always close.
There is CLEAN of light in the
above. When Republicans throughout
the South stand up for Protection and
cordially welcome all Protectionists,
then will the Solid South be broken.
When Democratic Senators from the
South fight Free Trade. there is every
reason to take renewed courage and
wage relentless war upon the men,
(demagogues every one) and measures
which are destructive of the best in
terests of the South. The reiguing
oligarchy has so far succeeded in per
petuating its political power by yelp-
ing Force Bill, - "Nigger DONNA
tion," and MIXED Schools.
Once let the o d Wing element come
to its senses and Bourbonism, which
like a terrible plague has held the
South in its grasp, will die the death.
The recent election in Alabama has
practically eliminated the race ques.
ton from Southern politics.
Colored men of intelligence have
learned that the people of the South
will rot allow them to hold office
until they are qualified to perform the
duties Of the Office Eliminate this
disturbing factor and the Wings of the
South will assert their manhood and
joining hands with Republicans, drive
Bourbonism from the fairest land
under heaven.

he has it from Mr. Elkins himself that
he does not want the Congressional

After seeing and knowing all the
woe and misery which their tariff
tinkering has brought upon the coun-
try, it seems strange that men who are
reasonable and sensible in every other
particular should persist in demand

duty. The country may be able to
exist under the Senate bill until Re-
publican Congress and executive can
secure its repeal, but in the name Of
all that is sacred let us now have a

The pottery managers at Trenton,

than ask employees to accept further
reduction. A cut of II per cent was
accepted some weeks since and Sena-

the House prevented it. The potteries
will likely close permanently and
many of the skilled workmen return
