Disposition of shavings.

Shavings are one of the comparative
~ few things that are given away.
They are not, however, given away
when they can be sold, as they some
times may be; but there are times
when they can't even be given away,
when it costs the producer money to
get rid of them.
In factories using many woodwork
ing machines and producing great
quantities of shavings, the shavings
are gathered together by means of me-
chanical appliances. Over each ma
chine is a fiaring hood of metal at the
end of pipe which runs up into a
larger pipe along the ceiling. Other
pipes with hoods at the end, over other
machines, run up to the big pipe in the
same manner. Attached to the big pipe
is a blower or fan, which creates a
suction and draws up the shayings
through the several pipes over the ma
chimes into the big pipe, through which
they are discharged into bin in the
corner of the room or at some other
convenient place.
In some woodworking factories the
shavings and refuse are used to fire
the boilers, the shavings being con-
yeyed to the boiler room by mechani-
cal means. If factory rents power
instead of running boilers Of its own,
it disposes of its shayings otherwise.
There may be steam plant contigu-
GUS or nearby to which the shavings
can be transferred conveniently and
cheaply and to which it can sell the
.shavings. If the distance is such that
the cost Of transportation amounts to
much, the shavings must be given
away. Otherwise it wouldn't pay the
user to take them. If the shavings
cannot be given away the producer de-
stroys them If the factory is so sit
nated that there is spot available
in the neighborhood the shayings are
taken there and burned.

CAUTIOUS UNCLE JERRY.
Gs Had Good Reason For wanting to Stop
His Tinkering.


His Tinkering.
A lawyer had come all the way from
California to pay a $4,000 legacy over
to Uncle Jerry Hopefeld, who had liY-
ed all his life in the little town in
Ohio, and after breakfast two or three
OF US were invited to go along and
witness the transfer. When we reach
ed the house Uncle Jerry was tighten
4ng up the hoops on the rain barrel,
while his wife had gone to see sick
neighbor. They had been fully identi-
fed the day before as the proper par
ties, and now the lawyer said:
We'll, Uncle Jerry, want to hand
you that money and get receipt and
be off this morning"
''Im kinder busy just now" said the
old man, as he stopped hammering for
a moment.
Eyes, but have $4,000 here for you.
don't believe there's a man in the
world who wouldn't stop work long
enough to sign a receipt for such
fortune"
s'Mebbe not, but it looks like rain,
and want to git this bar'l fixed right
away. Cant you come over in about
an hour?"
Look here, man, did you ever see
$4,000 in all your life?" asked the
: lawyer, as he opened the satchel and
displayed a big package Of new green
backs.
mo, I never did," replied Uncle
Jerry, as he pounded away.
did you ever have $1,000 of your
4own?"

Never. Durn that hoop, but 1t

over as soon as possible" continued
the lawyer, as the old man kept at his
work.

''See here" said Uncle Jerry, as he
laid down his hammer and wiped the
back of his neck. Marian has gone
over to Blodget's to be gone an hour.
Before she went she said I must tinker
up this rain barrel"
'.But can't you stop your tinkering
to handle $4,000 in cold cash?" ex-
claimed the lawyer in indignant tones.
Eyes, yes, kin stop work; but what
about Mariar?"
'eWell, what about herr"
'eWhy, she'd come home expectin'
this bar'l to be all tinkered up, and if
she found it wasn't them $4,000
wouldn't hold her no more'n a tow

shove me clean down among the cab

Hon. HENRY c. DAVIS
Ia now Being Mentioned as the
Democratic Nominee for Gov
ernOr in 1900.

4
The Democratic press, as we'll as
the Democratic organizations, in
the different portions of the State,
are bringing ex-senator Henry g.
Davis, of Elkins.s before the pub
lie as the next Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor of West Virginia.
Mr.. Davis has again entered &C
lively into politics, and is making
speeches and doing good work for
the cause of Democracy in the
First and Second Districts.
He has been a lifelong true and
loyal Democrat. and is a firm be-
lever in the Chicago Platform and
the free coinage of silver, and. is
not afraid to letahis opinions be
known.
Mr.. Davis is identified with the
material interests of this State, in
developing it's railroads, its timber,
its coal and it's oils. He probably
has done more than any other half
dozen men to develop the richness
of West Virginia, and all his in
vestments are made in this State.
Through his influence capitalists
have been attracted to the State,
and have made large Investments
in many portions of it, and are
opening up our mines and timber
lands. and building railroads, every
where within its borders.
He was twice elected to the
United States Senate, and during
his terms, was ever watchful of the
interests of this State.
No man in the State could
WELD the influence that Mr.. Davis
would as Governor of West Vir-
ginia, and we endorse the move
ment now on foot to make him the
Democratic nominee for Governor
in 1900.
We have known Mr.. Davis since
our boyhood days, when he was an
employee on the B. & o Railroad,
and the same business habits he
adopted then, he carries out now,
that of performing every duty and
trust imposed upon him. He
would make model Governor.
He should receive the nomina-
ton at the hands of the Democra-
nv nv acclamation
With such a man as Mr.. Davis
Governor of the State, West Vir-
ginia would soon forge to the
front as one of the leading States
in the Union

a Splendid Meeting Held by the
Next Congressman From the
Fourth District.
Special to Register.
RAYMOND Cry, w. Va, Oct. %.
Friday night at Poca. Hon. Geo.
1. Neal, of Huntington, the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress in the
Fourth district, spoke to the larg-
est crowd ever assembled in the
public hall. Enthusiasm ran high.
The impression he created was
wonderful. In him the people of
the Fourth district see their ideal
statesman and are determined to
send him to Congress. The aud
fence was composed of representa-
tives from all parties, who gladly
heard the truth. He was followed
by Hon. j. B. Menager. of Point
Pleasant, in one of his eloquent
talks on finance and tariff. He
supported every argument by sta
tistics, which disclosed the actual
conditions confronting the people.
Neal will surely be elected.

Worthy of Yonr Vote.

Hon. Geo. I. Neal, Democratic
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, is man of the people and
self-made in every respect. He is
pure man and without reproach
in public or private life. Chica-
merry, treachery and duplicity are
not part of his nature. Honesty,
upright and truthful, he can be re-
lied upon to the utmost A man
of the people and for the people,
the cause of the people is safe in
his. hands. OF humble station, he
knows no classes and will not be
found trailing to the apron string
of soulless avarice and merciless
corporations, nor will he be over
powered by wealth's hypnotic in
fuences under whose yoke SO many
would be-representatives of the
people bow the neck. The glitter
Of gold. the promise of perpetuity
in Office, the hope of reward for
some malfeasance in official duties
will not alter him from the path of
duty as he sees it. and it is seldom,
if ever, that man of Meals I'M
'blemished character, purity ofpur-
pose and holiness of soul sees or
does other than the right:
His ability to fill the Office the
people purpose to entrust to him is
beyond question. This district
has not. in many years had a rep
resentative possessing greater bust
ness astuteness than Hon Geo. /.
Neal commands, nor one better
qualified In knowledge of law, nor
one having better store of COM
mon sense, a requisite to every
law-maker worthy of being called
a statesman. Such man will not
only attract close attention among
statesmen but he will command
respectful consideration. He will
make himself feft and will be a
power for good not only to the
common wealth of West Virginia
but also to the nation.
He is worthy of the support of
every honest and intelligent man
and this district will make no mis-
take to elect him.

a quarter of a century ought to.
be long enough to test a theory; in.
1873 the republican party led by
John Sherman and backed by the
Vaccinations of Wall Street struck
down the last vestige of silver as a
standard money of final redemp-
ton in the interest of the money
changers here and in Europe. Now,
after twenty-five years Ola partial
and modified gold standard, it is
time we stop and take our bear
ings. What is the result to-day
compared with of a quarter of a
century ago? Then three-quar-
ters of all the wealth of this coun-
try belonged to the great masses
of the people, but to-day, after all
these years of misruIe, only one
quarter of the wealth is let to them.
The capitalists of the land have
gathered a golden harvest indeed
during these years; they now have
fully three quarters of all the wealth
which is SO hedged about by law,
by trickery and by misrepresenta-
ton, that it pays less than one
fourth OF the taxes, while the mere
pittance left in the hands of the
toiling masses is made to pay fully
three-fourths of all the taxes.
The tax is one thing that the
toiling masses cannot escape.
Seasons come and seasons go
but the farmers tax, like Tenny.
