Ny DEAR SIR Having received a
number Of applications for garden
seeds. will you kindly permit me,
through your columns to say to my
friends and constituents that no seeds
were allotted to me this year. The
custom is to accredit the seeds for
distribution to the outgoing member
of congress. However, in order to
accommodate those who requested
them, I called upon the secretary of
agriculture while in Washington re-
Gently, and he kindly consented to
place 500 packages of seeds at my
disposal-all I could possibly get.
These packages have been sent to me
at Keytesvllle, and 1 will gladly dis
tribute them to parties who indicate
their desire for them by writing me a
card, giving name and address.
1t will be impossible for me TO re-
turn to my home for some days yet on
account of the serious sickness of my
father, but all applications sent to me
at Keytesville, from any part of the
Second district, will be promptly re-
sponded to until the limited supply is
exhausted.
l shall return to Missouri as soon
as my fathers condition will permit
me to leave him.
Yours Very Truly,
w. W. RUCKER.

highest number Of votes being cast
for the office of constable, which was
211 votes more than were polled in
Keytesville township at the Novem-
ber, 1898, election, and only 50 votes
less than were shown by the returns at
the presidential election in this town
ship in 1896. The total vote cast at
our township election in 1897 was

Keytesville Township Election.

The biennial election for township
officers took place in all of the town
ships of Charlton county. Tuesday,
March 18th. In Keytesville town
ship the warmest number on the pro-
gram was the contest for constable.
It was on this race that the large bulk
Of the betting was done and that votes
were bought and sold for considera-
tons ranging from a drink Of whiskey
to several dollars in hard cash, not so
much by the candidates themselves,
perhaps, as by their friends" b"
who had money wagered on the
result One side seemed to be as
deeply in the mud as the other in the
mire. The COURIER believes that
betting on elections breeds more cor
ruption at the ballot-box thar all other
causes combined What will the rising
generation think Of such an election
as grew out of the constable's race in
Keytesville township last Tuesday? The
youth of our town and community
cannot help but regard the scenes,
which greeted their eyes, with the be-
lief that a mans vote is a commodity
for sale to the candidate or his overly
enthusiastic satellite who pays most
for it or gives the voter the greatest
number of drinks. The editor Of the
COURIER is heartily in favor Of citi-
zens' meeting, irrespective of party
affiliations, looking to the prompt ar
rest and prosecution of every man
who hereafter bets a cent on an cleo
ton, whether municipal, township,
county, state or national.
Not only this, but the editor of the
COURIER also stands like a rock wall
in favor of the arrest and prosecution
Of any man who buys votes and also
OF every voter who sells his vote. This
course would not only protect the
sacredness of the ballot-boX, but it
would have a wholesome effect in
other channels.
Citizens meetings should also be
called, not only in Keytesyille town
ship, but in every township in Char
it0n county for the purposes above
mentioned, and should go even further.
Every self-respecting voter, who iavors
decent elections, should attend such
meetings and solemnly pledge himself
to use all honorable means to accom-
plIsh the certain defeat Of candidates
who resort to corrupt methods in
order to get votes. What say the
better class of citizens Of KeytesviIle
and other townships to these sugges'
ti0ns2

shown on the face of the returns in

Constable John A. Cason and his
son. Mort, of Brunswick came to Key
tesviIle Yesterday morning on the
Pattonsburg accommodation to an
swer in Justice D. H. Hancock's
court to the charges of unlawfully and
wilfully breaking INTO the house of

contents Of said house into the road
without due process of law, forcibly
eiecting from said premises the aft

her life and assaulting and beating
her. When arraigned before Justice
Hancock, both of the defendants
pleaded not guilty and gave bond in
the sum Of $Ioo, each, to appear for

F. NJ. Shepherd of near Dalton
swore out a warrant, Wednesday, be-
fore Justice ]. NJ. DeMoss, charging
Justice c. w. Steiman of Bowling
Green township with forgery. The
alleged crime consists of Mr.. Steiman
having made changes or erasures and
lowering the amount of a bond which
Mr., Shepherd had given in a replevin
suit and on which Mr.. Steiman was
one of the sureties. 1t seems that the
were made by Mr.. Steiman

out for him owing to the Iatter's in
experience as a justice of the peace.
The warrant for Stelman's arrest was

ABOUT STATHERS.
Member of the Board of Direc-
tors from Weston Talk.

Says that Stathers Is Undoubtedly Gull
ty Clearly Proven but some Mem
bers of the Board Would Not Listen
to anything-0ther Charges May
Come up at Present Meeting.
Hon, Alexander McVeigh Miller of
Anderson member of the board of
directors of the asylum at Weston,
who has been here for several days
looking after the entrance of his son
A. McVeigh Miller Jr., and Irene
Miller into the University has gone to
Weston to attend the meeting of the
board of directors of that institution.
Before he left he was seen by repre-
sentative of this paper and was asked
about the status OF the Stathers case
1t had been stated in a special from
Charleston on Tuesday that Mr.. Mill
Ter had obtained the attendance of Il
hotel man from ST. Louis who would
give some very interesting testimony
before the board at the present. SEES
sion.
Mr.. Miller stated that he had moth
ing to do with this and knew nothing
about it further than the newspaper
reports. He also stated that Stath-
ers ought to be removed and that TO
keep him in under the circumstances
was an outrage on the state.
The evidence brought out by the
previous session of the board was
enough to convict him in the minds
of every fair minded man and he
should have been bounced at that
time without the additional weight
Of charges which have been brought
since then.
One of the members voted to clear
the doctor when it was offered by the
prosecution to prove that this MEM
Der knew absolutely of the truth OF
Of the charges in at least one case.
They asked to be relieved from the
motion TO have them put on record
when they voted which was made by
Miller and promised to take up the
supplementary charges at the present
meeting ii this was done. They are
now showing disposition To get out
of this if they can Whether they
can do so or not depends on how
tightly they intend to stick and has
no reference to the weight or conclu-
siveness Of the evidence which can be
brought out by the prosecution.
Gov. Atkinson has been fooled and
he is taking the stand On the matter
that he does because in has been rep
resented that the element that is af
ter Stathers has been fighting the adj
ministration. This is untrue but it
is keeping the Governor on the side
Of the doctor. When he gets his
eyes open there will be an upheaval.

Has Been Raym0ndized.

The management of the West Vir-
ginia University is coming in for a
liberal share of just criticism. The
impudent, autocratic, ignorant, two
by-four president is the greatest fake
ever imported into the State of West
Virginia. His arrogance is as monu-
mental as his ignorance, and his
methods are as reprehensible as his
ideas of his own self Importance. The
University has been Raymondized,
and this is pretty bad on the school.
