The greatest interest is being
manifested in Mason county, which
borders on the Ohio river, in the
result of this falls campaign in
Ohio. Mr.. Capehart has been a
close observer of events across the
river from his home and says he
has no doubt whatever of the cleo
ton of Chapman for Governor,
and he feels pretty sure that the
Democrats will also carry the leg
islature. The part the negroes are
taking in the campaign, with the
nomination of separate ticket by
the negro protective league, is go
ing to draw many votes away from
the Republican ticket, he believes.
Mr.. Capehart sees signs of the
times in the result of the elections
in indianapolis and Chattanooga.
"They are straws to indicate the
popular sentiment" said he. 81
remember that in 1890, before our
sweeping victory the municipal
elections had generally gone our
way. And it's a pretty good indi-
cation when the Democrats are
gaining in the local fights that their
cause is going forward in the ma
ton"

England Rules the World.

The British government rules
the world. She is the gold stand
ard country and compels all others
to adopt it. She is forcing South
American countries to commit sui
eide by demonetizing silver. She
has more influence in the city of
New York than has the govern
ment at Washington. The rich
people of that city have their eyes
eternally fixed on London. They
are more loyal to Queen Victoria
than they are to the President.
They value an Insignificant social
recognition from royalty more than
they do American freedom. The
ancestors of many of them were
Pories in the Revolution, their de-
scendants are Tories today. In the
straitest sect of these social phari-
sees, it is a matter of pride with
them that in 1776 their grand
fathers and great grandfathers were
loyal to King George. Wetzel

Special to the Register.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Oct. 10
At five o'clock this evening Frank
Wolcott, son of a wealthy citizen
living in the suburbs, shot and
killed VIM. Webb. Webb was %
years of age and was a son of DIR.
j. w. Webb, who was a Presiding
Elder in the M. 3. Conference in
this State for twenty-five years
Wolcott had been drinking, and
Webb's friends claim that not a
word had been spoken by either
party when the shooting occurred.
Wo1cott has attempted to end his
own life twice in hepast year, and
not long ago he shot at Fred Mil
Ter and the bullet went wide of its
mark, striking Owen Bartram, a
prominent citizen, seriously wound
ing him. Wolcott is in Jail.
The Austrian government has

ty for the miners who were killed

established by our government in
making similar demands against
other governments and enforcing
them may result in some very en-
barrassing complications.

Adventures of Americas Oldest
Printing Press.

1ISSSs
The Oldest printing press in
America is in the State of Georgia
The date of its birth is lost in an
tiquity, but there has never been
any doubt in the minds of the edi-
tors who have manipulated it that
it was old enough to know better.
1t is cross between the hand
press, called the Washington, and
a neglected corn shelter and is
curiously inscribed with the des-
perate hieroglyphies of ancient and
long suffering editors. Its joints
creaked, as with rheumatism, and
when the paper went to press it
had way of falling down and SO
mixing up the railroad schedules
that the trains never knew what
time to leave.
Every blacksmith in the country
has exhausted his skill upon it,
and it has been patched and pray
ed over until it is mere remnant
of its former self. When Sherman
passed through Georgia to the sea,
his men used portions OF. it. for
battering rams, but when he start
ed to print few official orders on
it, it proved its loyalty to a lost
cause by falling down and distrib,
uting the type all over the room.
1t has been burned out six times,
and in the earthquake of 1886 it
was dismembered and thrown on
the railroad track, where it wreck
ed the cannon BALI train five
minutes afterward. The sheriff
has levied on it twenty times, only
to pay the editor to take it back.
and from the perch it used to oc-
cupy in the 1ow-lands of Lee it
overlooked the graves of fourteen
editors, and, old and ailing as it is.
it is destined to go rumbling down
the corridors of time as long as an
editor needs groceries.

THE BOYS WE'RE TAKEN UP.
No Ball Playing or Other Games
Allowed Around WOman's College,

Early yesterday afternoon several
youths were engaged in playing ball in
front Of the Womans College, on north

came upon the scene and 'scooped"
them IN.
The boys begged and entreated the off,
GERS in charge TO let them go. asserting
that they were only enjoying a little out
door sport. Their appeals were dis
regarded, however, and the BLACK
Maria" sped along its way toward the
station-house, but just before reaching
there, the wagon was stopped and the
young men told to get out. They were
admonished not to be again found carry
ing on any of their caprices around the
Woman's College. They bolted for their
respective homes. One of the young men
is son Of a well-known minister i'm
Norfolk, while another Is well known
among members Of the 'Tenth-street
gang as Gorilla"
II is understood that DR.. James Nelson,
president of the college. did not desire
the boys prosecuted. but wanted them
stopped from loafing or playing around
the institution, which is prohibited under
penalty by the city ordinances.
