Next week-on the goth inst-w. j..
Morgan will take up his residence in Phila-
delpha, having accepted an important and
lucrative position at the Reading Terminal in
that city. He has for several years ably
represented the Republican in this town, and
the proprietors Of that paper will find it
difficult TO fill his position with the same
degree of ability and popularity. Mr. Morgan
has always taken an active interest in every
movement for the benefit of the town, and
has been prominent in social, business and
political circles. When a youth he served
three years as page in the legislature, sub
sequently held an important position under
the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. at Lost Greek,
and for several years was In the mercantile
business here. At present he is secretary of
the Odd Fellows and the Masonic lodges.
The departure of himself and his estimabe
wife will be regretted by a large circle of
friends and acquaintances The HERALD
joins them in wishing him success in his new
field of labor.

Within few days the Bell Telephone
Company will establish an exchange in this
town-something we are entitled to and have
badly needed for some time. 1t is evident
that the company proposes an energetic cam
paign in extending its business, as they have
appointed ex-Councilman Il. ID. Reese as
solicitor, whose territory embraces Schuyl-
Xii county The managers have certainly
made popular appointment and we are con.
hdent that the wisdom of the selection will
develop itself and result in extending the
company's business in channels heretofore
untouched. Mr.. Reese has a wide acguaint-
anoe, san affiable gentleman, and is fully
equipped for the duties of his new position.
We congratulate both Mr.. Reese and the
company.
The Bell Telephone people should use the
same good judgment in selecting location
for and manager of their exchange here, that
they have used in the choice of a solicitor.
Location is an important matter, but it is not
near so important as the selection of the
manager to conduct the exchange. There is
quite rivalry for this position and the
selection should be made with great care
The telephone subscribers pay dearly for the
use of the phones, and they should be given
good service

Rumor has it that J. j. Franey, one of
Shenandoah's enterprisng citizens, and
whom some of our exchanges very appro-
priately style the Wanamaker of Shenan-
doah, contemplates opening a large depart
ment store in his mammoth store room at the
corner of Lloyd and Main streets. The
property is well adapted for such purposes
and Mr.. Franey has the necessary push and
capital to make it paying Investment.

TIE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

A curious feature of the Ohio campaign
is that the people of that state seem to
think that Mckinley is running against
Mclean. The name of Judge Nash. the
Republican candidate for Governor, is sell
dom heard. This is not because Judge
Nash is lacking in any of the qualities
which commend a candidate to the people.
He is not only man of much more than
ordinary ability, but is also very popular
with his party. The people, however, can
not get rid of the idea that Mr.. McKinleys
political fortunes are bound up in the
campaign. If the Democrats carry the
begin to look around for a presidential
candidate. They will also begin to think
of the advisability of modifying Mr. Nc
Kinley's Philippine policy.
1t is easy to understand, therefore, why
it is that the impression prevails that il
is really Mckinley and not Nash who is
running against Mr.. Mclean Mclean
isn't a very popular candidate, but he
has the means for conducting a very Wig
orous campaign, and that is the kind OF
campaign that he is conducting. He
has workers in every township of every
county, and it is quite certain that the
great majority of the doubtful voters will
cast their ballots for him.
The leaders of the Ohio Republicans ad-
nit that the outlook causes them some
uneasiness. They have dissensions in their
party, and there are a great many Repub-
leans who are against the Presidents
! Philippine policy. 1t may be that not
many of the disaffected Republicans will
vote for Mr. Mclean, but those who will
not will probably remain away from the
polls, thus cutting down the Republican
| vote.
| The signs indicate that the Republicans
haven't any votes 10 spare. For President
Mckinley carried the state by about A.
900 majority, but the Republicans carried
it two years ago by about only 2s, 600. The
/ Democrats have carried the state in off
years, and the Republicans are apprehen-
sive that they will carry it this year.
If Mr.. Mclean should be elected he
would become very important factor in
thee presidential problem. He would insist
upon having "A hand in making the Demo-
cratic national ticket. Although now a
! Bryan supporter, it is by no means GER
tain that he would continue to be. The
result of the Ohio election is regarded
with profound interest, not only on ac-
count of what appears on the surface, but
also on account of what is under the sur
face, in connection with the presidential
campaign.

How high viii the price go before the

given to that question. Some of the cot

reports confirming those already received,
as to short crop, the price would 90 up
by leaps and bounds.
The cotton growers are having an OBJ
ject lesson relative to the low price of cot
ton which has prevailed for several years
The world knew that more cotton was be-
ing produced than could be sold at a price
that would yield the growers a fair profit
The spinners therefore were able to get
the cotton at their own price. The cotton
farmers hurried their cotton to market, be-
cause they too knew that owing to the
large crops the price would be low. But
just as soon as it becomes apparent that
the crop is comparatively small the price
bounds upward. All the cotton growers
have to do to get profitable price for
cotton is 10 produce only enough to sup
ply the worlds needs at fair price. De-
mand and supply control the price. Hold
ing back cotton will not materially affect
the price of it, provided the cotton is IN
the country. 1t pays a cotton grower to
hold back his cotton when he is certain
that the crop is small in comparison with
the previous crop but it would be mis-
take to do so if he have reasonable grounds
for thinking that the crop is a large one.

No wonder the Dnrkev Fled.

Gen. Nieolls of New Orleans was we'll
known throughout the Southern states as
one of the bravest officers in the Confeder-
ate army, says the Youths Companion,
He sacrificed an eye leg and an arm
to The cause which he believed just, and
came out of the war as he declared, only
half of a man." But the half that was
left enjoyed a joke as keenly as ever.
Science replaced the lost members so sue
cessfully that nobody who was ignorant
of his misfortune could detect it.
The general often told the following
story:
Stopping at a hotel in Mobile a negro
boy was detailed to help him prepare for
bed. After mis- bag was unpacked, and his
coat laid aside, he said: Now, Sam take
off my leg"
Sam Shared speechless
Don't know yet how TO take off legs.
Ell? Now, look here
He unscrewed the leg, and keeping it
carefully covered with its long black
stocking, laid it aside"
Now take off this arm"
mo, sah5 No. sab! Nebber took off no
gentlums ahm in my life" gasped Sam,
turning gray with terror.
You're pretty valet! Nothing easier. -
The arm was taken off and laid beside the
les on the table, and the general prepared
fer sleep and got into bed.
on, by the way! We'd better take an
eye out!'
He took it out. Sam backed to the door
afraid 10 turn his back on the terrible
guest who stretched himself sleepily, and
then said
Now Sam. take off my headw
Sam rushed out of the room to the office,
and could only find strength to gasp out,
It's de debbil heself, sab; He's taken
hisseif 10 pieces in room 4S!"
The man who has the nerve to make a
joke of his sacrifices in any cause is very
sure Of sympathy and approval.

BETTER TIMES ron THE SOUTH.

The advance in the price of cotton means
better times in the South. Midding cotton
is worth $3.50 a bale more than it was at
this date last year. 1t is not improba BILE
that within two weeks it will be worth $40
a bale more than it was at the same date
last year.
An increase of $40 a bale means as much
to the cotton farmers of the South as 81
wheat does to the wheat farmers of the
West What 81 wheat did for the West
last year and the year before the whole
country knows. Mortgages were cancelled
by the tens of thousands and the people
began to ride in carriages. The worried
look disappeared from the faces of the
farmers and their wives and in its place
there were happy smiles.
Something like that is becoming appar-
ent in the South. a great big excursion
came TO this city on Monday by way OF
the Central of Georgia Railway. Most of
the eXcursionists were farmers and their
families. The merchants said yesterday
that the excursionists purchased more lib
orally than had been the case with excur-
siouists from the same localities for sever
al years. Either the better prices of cot
ton or the prospect of a better price made
them feel that they could be more liberal
in spending money for winter supplies of
clothing
Let cotton so TO cents a pound and the
South will be on a boom Mortgages Will
be lifted from farms and the debt TO the
storekeepers will be cancelled. Not only
that. but the farmers will have cash
enough to raise a crop next year, and will
not have TO pay credit prices, which are
double prices, TO the country merchant
while the crop is being made.
There IS no reason why the farmers
should hurry their cotton to market now
II is reasonably certain that the crop is
smaller than last years crop, and that the
demand for cotton goods will continue
strong. That being the case there is every
ground for thinking that there will be a
still further advance in the price of cot
con.

preceded by an interrogation. The senator
