The ceremonies incident to the
elevation Of the Papal delegate
to the United States to the digni-

ficant in many ways. Most not
able Of all was the fervent Amer
ican patriotism expressed in the
speeches of high church dignita-
ries upon the occasion. 1t was
in decided contrast to the utter

president of the Al. p. A. S of the

sentiments But It might have
been expected that unnaturalized
subjects of Queen Victoria living

From the Cbarlestown Free Press. !

IT will be seen elsewhere in this
paper that Mr.. Gerard D. Moore Is
candidate-subject to the action OF the
Democratic primaries-for reelection
to the Office Of county clerk Of Jefer-
son. 1t is not unlikely that Mr.
Moore is personally known to every
voter in this county, and, therefore, 1t
would be a work Of supererogation
for us to introduce him. In lieu Of
anything from US in commentator OF
his excellent service in past years, we
extract from the Free Press files Of
1890 the following opinion of an ex-
pert
Mr.. Ed I. Allen, representing the Cen
Gus Bureau, has been here for few days
examining the records of the county
clerks office and obtaining data as to
mortgages i'll this county during the past
ten wears. He called to see us and TO
state, as he seemed to do with pleasure,
that the record books of the Office here
were the most satisfactory that he had
found III this congressional district
having visited one-half OF the counties.
He said they were SO Systematically ar
ranged and so neatly kept that he got
through with his work in half the time
and with much less labor than he had
expended elsewhere. He was partcu-
larry pleased with the courtesies extend
ed by Mr. Gerard D. Moore, the present
county clerk Mr.. Allen talked and
looked as If he knew the business which
he came to transaCt.-Free Press, June

And supplement it by the following
from the court records Of May, 1895

committee appointed by the court to
examine the records Of the clerks Office
report that they visited said Office, and
found the records of the Office properly
and regularly kept, and the papers duly
and Systematically cared for, -
and that the clerk of said court has
faithfully performed the duties of his
Office.
The Office is in the best condition
of equipment and the records prove
the efficiency of the clerk.

The above is but one of many re-

ingly prevalent, and manifests itself
in such 4 variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may well be regarded with
suspicion.
The fact that S. S. S. cures heredi-
tary cancer, which is considered in
durable, places it without an equal as

zena, Contagious Blood Poison, or

4 Small
Spot May
Be Cancer! +!

It is very often that the most iusig..
nificant symptoms are forerunners OF
the most violent disease. There IS
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority Of cases 1t
is first indicated by very small scao
or sore. to which no attention IS at
tracted. until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such a case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite a time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs to one of the oldest and best
families of Carolina; he is well and
favorably known throughout South
Carolina. and has resided at Green
wood for years Cancer is hereditary
in the family, an aunt on each side
having died from it. Several years
ago a small spot, like a tiny ulcer.
about the size of a bird-shot, appeared
lust under his left eve, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing of 1t for
some time. until it began to grow rap
idly. spreading all the time, and de-
stroying the flesh as it went.

Col. I. V. JOHNSON, Auditor of the
State of West Virginia, has written a
letter to the editor of the REGISTER
reiterating what he has said since he
was first nominated and elected in
ls92-that he Will positively not be
a candidate for re-elsction to the Office
he now holds. He says that there are
many things connected with public
position that are uncongenial to him,
and he has no desire to make con-
test for the Office a second term. Col.
johnson has been model official, con-
Quoting his Office on business prnci-
pies and to the satisfaction of the peo-
pie. While his decision to retire will
be regretted by his friends in the sec
ond district, it is at the same time re-
fresbing to see man in public Office
who is willing that some one else may
have share. In these degenerate
days it is usually the case that man
devotes the time that should be given
to his official duties to planning how
he may hold on for another term. Col.
johnson will be respected for the man
ner in which he has conducted his of,
fee and for the manner in which he
retires from it.
So far, genial Colouel Carr has nc
opposition for the nomination.

DEAR REGIsTER-Winte is upon us
in good shape. At this writing there is
about II inches of snow on the ground.
l hear the farmers saying the snow will
be benefit to the wheat crop. Wheat
is looking very badly out here.
Our debating club is still progressing
finely; we have settled good many inn
portant questions this winter We have
concluded to settle the question, on the
night of the goth, SHOULD the United
States recognize the Cubans as belllge-
rants" The decision, of course, will be,
forwarded to President Cleveland.
Inotice through your paper candidates
for county officers are getting quite nu-
merous. Among them is one from our
section, Mr.. c. E. Lamar, for assessor,
who, we hope, will receive the united
support of the Democracy of Jefferson
county. l know of no one more deserv-
ing of the support of the people than Mr.
Lamar. He has always been an untlr-
ing worker for the party, and is gen.
tleman thoroughly qualified for the Office.
If elected am sure he will fill the office
with entire satisfaction to all.
We would not be forgetful in writing
to mention that we should well consider
who we send to represent us in the Leg
islature next year. We know of none
better qualified, or who has the States
interest more at heart, and who would
use every effort to legislate in the inter
est Of the people, than w. J. Knott, Jr.
Mr.. Knott is one Of the brainiest and
most thoroughly posted young men we
have in the county. ,.

THE scHooL-BooK MIDDLE.


Another unpleasant reminder of our
late unlamented Legislature has come
to us during the past week by the an
nouncement of the failure of the State
school-book commission to make any
contract for the furnishing of books
for West Virginia schools. 1t will be
remembered that the Legislature ar
bitrarily set the prices it would pay
for school books. The companies
whose books had been used announced
that they would not sell at those prices,
but it was confidently asserted by some
of the knowing Legislators that plenty
of publishers were just ready to Jump
at a chance to furnish books at the
rates named. The bill was passed,
but there was no rush to secure the
contract.
Last week, in accordance with pro-
vision of this remarkable law, the
school-book commission appointed by
Governor MacCorkle met at Charles
ton to make an attempt to secure con-
tracts for new books Although every
effort had been made to get offers,
there were no proposals for furnishing
spoilers, readers, grammars and anth-
metics heretofore furnished by the
American Book Company at the price
fixed by the Legislature. There were
a few bids for unimportant books which
the board accepted. The board final
ly adjourned without having accom-
plished anything of practical value.
The Wheeling Register says The
books now remaining to be contracted
for are the spoilers, first, second, third,
fourth. and fifth readers, grammars
and written arithmetics Without he
even exchange provision the board
did not feel iustfedbin contracting for
new books, as the exchange would IN
volve the expenditure of an enormous
amount of money by the patrons OF
the schools.
1t appears from the last report OF
the State Superintendent OF Schools
that there were in use in the schools,
in 1894, 163,553 spoilers, 33,l82 first
readers. 26,475 second readers, %, AL
third readers, 30,40l fourth readers,
80. 7O3 fifth readers, 25,796 grammars
and S2,156 written arithmetlcs. The
cost of these books according to the
prices fixed by the last Legislature
would amount to l55,22O.78. At
the natural ratio of increase OF the
number of children attending the
schools the value of these books now
in use would reach nearly or quite
100000. Tothrow away these books
and buy others would mean an ezpen-
diture of about 100000 by the peO-
pie
In the meantime the schools will
use the books now in the hands Of the
scholars or buy the books at any price
at which they may be able TO get
them.

delegate) no better man than John 2.
Kearfott. He has become so thoroughly
identified with the interests Of this county
although a native Of Berkeley that the
people are eager to recognize his past
services in their interests Mr.. Keariott
IS one Of the most active and influential
citizens; he is a practical man; far
mer from boyhood; has held positions
of trust in this county. He was the nonl-
inee of the peoples ticket for sheriff OF
this county at the last election, and by
onlv few votes he was defeated. He
carried his own district by a good ma
iorty. He is an ardent Democrat. He
fought CALAMITY through the Confeder-
acy, and carries today the mark OF a
wound received near Richmond. He,
we feel sure, will represent the interest
not only Of the farmers and mechanics,
but the people at large. He is an edu'
Gated gentleman, and one who cannot be
led astray from his duty to his party and
State for the benefit of personal friends
He is universally respected for his thor
ough business qualifications by all Of our
citizens. We doubt if the district can
furnish a man more suitable to all class
es than John p. Kearfott.
