County Debt.

We are glad to learn from the
State Gazette, that there is no
county debt of consequence. The
editor says 30, and it must be 80.
However,, the tax-payers of this
county don't look at it throug the
same eyeglasses as does the editor
of the Gazette. There is debt,
and big one at that, and the edi-
tor of the Gazette knows it, but
will not own it, for fear it will hurt
his party, and the people know it
too. lie there is no debt of conse-
quence, why can't the Sheriff pay
orders as they are presented to
himP This is an answer to the Ga
zette, of itself.

Significant Vote.

The Charleston Gazette saysthe
election by the Democrats of sue
cessor to the late Congressman
Bland, by an increased majority on
a smaller total vote, means much
moro than some might be led to
imagine. The Republicans had
strong hopes of carrying the Dis
trict and made an extraordinary ef-
fort. 1t was special election and
the minority party always makes
it's best showing in special election.
Then the Republican based their
hope of success on the claim that
Bland was a stronger man than his
party, and was personally strong,
Then the platform forcibly de-
nounced imperialism and opposed
the Philippine policy of the adj
ministration, and the Republican
newspapers claimed that this feat
ure would lose the candidate many
votes. On the day previous to the
election, the ST. Louis Globe-Dem-
oorat, tho leading Republican pa
per in the Southwest, declared that
the administration and war policy
were on trial in the Eighth Mis-
souri, district and the result would
indicate if public sentiment would
sustain it. This plank of tho plat
form declared: 1--WE are unalter-
ably opposed to the militarism and
imperialism of President McKin-
ley" and the people, by an inoreas
ed majority, voted to sustain the
charge.

"A Plen or Guilty.

The colored voters in many parts
of West Virginia have been very
badly trained by unprinoipled pol
iticians. Instead of teaching them
to think for themselves and vote
their own convictions, they have
been teaching them TO look for
bribes on election day. Now there
can be no question but that the
oolored man is the natural ally of
the Republican party. Mail Tri-
bune.
This is indeed an unexp xpected adj
mission on the part of ourneigh ghbor,
For thirty cars the celofed oters
in West yirginia have been under
the special care aud guidance of
Republican leaders, who have
watched over and controlled their
every act in politics. And now
after all these years of training we
have the frank admission that the
colored voter has "been badly
trained" and have been taught "to
look for bribes on election deyl"
This is fully as bad as the Demo
Gratis have ever accused you Repub-
licans of. Yet, it is the eternal
truth. But the worst feature of it
all is the Republican leaders of the
present day are persistently CON
tinuing their practice of debauch-
ing the colored man, as evidenced
by the advice given him about ten
days ago by the chairman of the
Republican State Central Commit
tee at conference held in the
Governors room at the Capitol,
With present Republican leaders
perjury in the colored man is high
ly respectable and bribery fine

a great newspaper has been apt
ly called ga map of busy life" Its
advertising columns may with like
aptness be characterized as reg
ular compendium of the life Of
business. The announcements of
merchants unroll for one chart
telling of the condition of domestic
trade. The increasing use of a
widely circulated newspapers adj
vertising space not only attests the
value of the journal as medium
for buyers and sellers, but also testi-
fies to the growing trade of the adj
vertiser. The purchasing public
is quick to note these facts, which
lead to the just and inevitable con-
clusion that the more the trades
man advertises the more his trade
increases.

In DIe1norianl.

WlllldLli i5hlTk9f w AlllhtueOul Wpt
born on the End day of August
1876, in the town of Guyandotte
! Cabell county, w. Va, and died on
End day of September, 1899, at Lie
Junta, Colorado. His parents were
descended from old and we'll known
pioneer families of the Ohio Valley,
His father, Aaron H. Williamson,
who survives him has for years
been connected with steamboat in.
terests on the Western waters as
Captain and pilot, and is probably
as widely known and respected as
any man on the rivers. His moth
er's maiden name was Martha
White, daughter of j. I'll. White,
long and favorably known and con-
nected with the timber and stave
business of Guyandotte. and grand
daughter of the late venerable DR..
James H. Stewart, of Putnam
county. 1t will be thus seen that
this lamented young man was CON
nected with some of Virginia's best
blood, which was evidenced in his
early boyhood days by his genial
manners and bright intellect. After
attending the public schools at
Guyandotte and Point Pleasant, he
entered as student at Natre Dame
University, at South Bend, Ind.
where he was regarded as one ofits
most promising young pupils.
After spending some time at this
University, he became student at
Marshall College, at Huntington,
w. Va, from which institution he
graduated. While attending this
College he became acquainted with
Miss Mcllie Dingess, of Logan
county, West Virginia, most
charming and accomplished lady,
and whom in July, 1899, he mar.
ried.
He thus started out upon the
duties of lie, full of JOY and hope
for the future, only, alasl for him
and his young wife to SO soon have
the Same dispelled and vanished.
Early last Spring that most insid-
ious enemy of notwithstanding
made it's appearance and fast
ened itself upon young Williamson,
and made rapid inroads upon his
constitution. In the hopes of slay-
ing the dread disease, under the adj
vice of his physicion, last June he
went to Southern California, on
the Pacific Coast, but the trip and
residence there was of no avail.
He continued to grow worse from
day to day, until he became con-
vinced that tho end was not far off,
when he started for his home to
