A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK.
Members of the County Execu-
tive Committee have meet
ing on Saturday.

All Think That things are Lovely.
They Canvass the Situation thorough
ly-Call for County Convention is Is
sued-It is to be Held on September
District Meetings in Grant and
Cass are to be held a Week before
That-The matter of Challengers and
Election Commissioners.
The Democratic executive com
mittee of the county held a meeting
in the law office of John j. Brown
in Morgantown on Saturday The
attendance was very good and the
expression of the leaders of the par
ty who had gathered together was
very encouraging. The outlook for
the coming campaign is very favora-
BILE and the members of the commit
tee intend to make every edge cut
in the fight.
They had been called together to
consider the matter of the county
convention and it was on motion set
for Saturday, September oath, in
Morgantown. The meeting will be
called to order at two p. m.
The matter of election commits
sioners and challengers was taken
up and on motion it was decided to
ask that the members Of the COM
mittee from the different districts
come with the commissioners and
challengers for each voting place in
their district made up for submits
sion to the committee These will
be turned into the county court at
their session held on the eighth of
October to appoint them for the two
parties.
In case the members from a dis
trict cannot be present they should
send the names Of the men Of their
choice by mail to the chairman of
the committee John Alexander, so
that there will be no excuse for the
appointment of men who are not in
full sympathy with the party and
acceptable to the party at the differ
ent polling places.
< The convention should be we'll at
tended and every Democrat who can
possibly attend is urged to do so.
The nominations to be made in some
cases are very important and the
very best men in the party should
be put forward. Then it will give
all chance to compare notes and
get down to business for the cam
paign.
On Saturday the 18th the Demo
Gratis of Grant and Cass will hold
their district meetings. That Of
Grant will take place at Barker
and of Cass at Stumptown. Both Of
these will take place at two in the
afternoon and the members of the
party in the two districts are urged
to attend them.

The school boy and also the school
girl is disconsolate. The play time
is over and the time for work is here
again. The public schools have
taken up again the term having be-
gun at nine clock on Monday morn
ing. The attendance is much larger
than it was on the first day last
year and the indications of course
are that there will be many more
children is to be taught than re
ceiyed instruction last term.
The exercises of course for the
first day were largely preliminary
and the day was spent in arranging
classes, assigning lessons and get
ting ready to start into the work
right, The enrolment has proceed
ed without special incident and is
now nearly completed Regular
work will begin on Tuesday and ev-
erything will be running as if there
had been no cessation before the
week is out
The High School is being accom-
modated at Municipal Hall and
Prof. +. M. Jaco and Miss Wotring
have charge of the children there.
Prof. Brands Office will also be in
this building for the time being.
Five Of the teachers are in the
Farmers d. Merchants bank build

taught there They are Misses
Kunkle, Shisler, Waddell, Gobun
and Simpson. Miss Brand has one
room in the Odd Fellows building
and is thus alone in her glory

colored school which he had last
winter and of course it is running
all right and there will be no fears
of complaint on that score
The present school year will last
for eight months and the last part
of it is hoped by the board will be
spent in the new building which is
being pushed as fast as the men can
do it. Taking it all in all the out
look is very encouraging and every
one feels like doing first class
years work. The children are rested
up and they will take hold with
new zest after they get the wire edge
worn off and the teachers are invigo-
rated for their tasks again.

THE RUTTER BAND.
The Whole Population Of Uniontown
Wants to come up-The Concert and
the Way TO treat the Banda Good
Chance for the Town.


A letter from Tom Protzman on
the Rutter's band excursion on next
Tuesday has been received at this
office. He says that the thing is a
sure go and that he wants the men
of the town to meet the boat and in
ylte the band to come up town and
give us a concert It would be
very good thing to have wagon at
the wharf when the boat comes in
so that the music racks and things
of that kind can be brought up.
The Uniontown papers say that
there has been a great many of the
tickets sold already and tlat the in
dications are that there won't be
room for all the people who will
want to come. On Friday at noon
there had been over two hundred dis
posed of and the rush was still on
for tickets The excursion will take
boat at Rice's Landing when tele-
graphic notice will be sent of it's
coming.
The band will as has been stated
before give concert in front of the
court house if the weather is good
and if not they will take the Opera
House which has been kindly offered
by Manager Somehow.
1t IS urged that number of the
representative men of the town meet
our Uniontown friends when they
come in and ask them up town to
give US the concert with which they
are loaded to the muzzle.
The two towns have much in com
mon and we should do all we can to
cement the ties which bind us to-
gether. There is much of profit to
each in closer and better under
standing. This is chance to help
this along and we should take adj
vantage of it.

Harry Shank is back from Cincin-
natl where he had been for week
and the vivid descriptions of the way
things were going On there has made
every one else sorry that he did not
attend the affair also while Pete was
there. The most startling thing
about the meeting was the immense
number Of strangers in town.
Waitman Barbe is back from a
tour of the state in the interests of
the University. He has visited a
number of institutes this summer
and reports that there is every rea-
son to believe there will be large
attendance this year. The senti-
ment every where is becoming more
and more favorable to the University
where it's good points are becoming
better known.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter MADEIRA are in
from Cheat where he has been rum
ming two stands this summer. The
season is nearly over and the exodus
Of the summer visitors has begun in
such force that there will be no one
there in short time and the condi-
tions are such that the ventures ARE
no longer profitable so it has been de-
cided to quit for the season. There
are still several boarders at Mont Cha
teau but they will all be gone before
very long since the cold weather plays
smash with the attendance at sum
mer resorts.

Miss Mary Semans has returned

Miss Mary Semans has returned
from New York and Philadelphia
where she has been looking over the
stocks OF the leading milliners of the
United States and selecting her stock
for the fall and winter. She has
bought one of the largest and finest
ever brought to this state and in time
will arrange for an opening which
will eclipse every thing of the kind
which has ever been held in Morgan
town.
THE picnic at Everlys landing did
not attract very many people from
town although there had been some
noise made over the affair and it was
promised that all who went would
have good time. The occasion was
from all we can hear up to the usual
good standard.

THE SHIPS RUDDER.

Ets Two Parts and the Difference Tn the

 The rudder Of wooden ship Is com posed of the stalk and the hacking. which are 50 joined together as 70 form iu effect 8 single piece The complete rudder is eoppered, to protect it from worms. and then, besides being praoti. cally all in one piece, it has that ap- pearanee also.
 The stalk is the part to which are at- taehed the pintles. or piyots, by which tho rudder is suspended and held in place. these going through eyes set in the ships sternposs. The stalk runs up through the stern of the ship. and to it's head Is bolted a cap to which are at- taohed the ropes by means of which the rudder is controlled. The backing is the blade part of the rudder.
 By far the greater strain comes on the stalk, and the greatest strain or all comes on the head of the stalk. the rudder head. where it Is held. The stalk is made of the wood most likely to stand the strain, carefully selected, sound. we'll seasoned oak, while the backing is made of spruce or hard pine. The stalk is of | single. solid. massive piece. stout as an oak tree and indeed of the dimensions of a small eak, something that man can pin his faith to, if he can have faith in any wood. while the backing CT blade is. like many modern wooden masts, built up. 1t would be difficult if not impossible to find trees that would yield blanks big enough for the purpose in a single piece, and the built up backing, made Of pieces of selected wood, can easily be made of ample strength to withstand any strain that will be brought upon if.

Thgeass of war between England and France vii disturb shs prices somewhat further, 4 large number q the.'eottou mills in Nav Eosland hare closed. and altogeshes the outlook for any higher prices is rather Siscouraging
 We would ike 10 nave the farmers ss the South take these facts home w;th them. Whether or not there is oversupulv, the markets indicate that that Is a fact~ Farmers can regulate the market oy reducing sheir crops. That has been shown, we think, in the paat few years Tk< South eAn get about as much for 2. ooo. ooo bales ot cotton as Tor ! I ,o0o. ooo, and 1t will cost 2 great d>al less so pick l.

planters, but if each planter will resolve for himself to d9 his part n the matter. and trust to make up any loss by increased production of other crops, he will find at the end of the season that he is better of. whether his neighbor has followed his example or not.
 Let each man watch his own farm, study his own conditions, balance hls own books, master his own difficulties. When farmers have done this they will be surprised to find that general prosperity is noth- ing more than the prosperity Of the
 Individual msmbers of he eommuni

The Sauth will be prosperous when each farmer. con sidering hls own problems, solves them in the light ot his own exner- fence broadened by lis knowledge of the experience of his fellow farmers throughout the cotton belt Home and Farm.
