ARGUS won't hurt him.
On last Wednesday night, Miss Jones the

to give one dollar apiece If Miss Jones would
continue her stay one week She kindly
consented to do so, not from the mere con.
sideraiion of money, however, but in hopes
of good results. Harvey Dill was first 10
give his dollar, while John Born agreed to

the proiiered amount. This is an exemplary
act on the part of our young men, who
know and appreciate good thing and will
pay for it, too. HELGRRMirE.

Pink Smith, the colored fellow from Man
hem, who was indicted this court for so
much reckless shooting over there, came
into court last week and confessed TO the
shooting without any trial. Several colored
witnesses were here, summoned by the State
and they were brought in before the Judge,
who examined them and their evidence was
all in favor of the prisoner. They testified
that he had been greatly provoked and
threatened and imposed on and mistreated
by the fellow who got shot, until he could
stand 1t no longer. Smith had no lawyer
and the Court appointed Col. Monroe as
counsel for him and the Judge let Smith off
with one year in the penitentiary, and he
was taken there to-day.
The store room in the Bank Building is
now vacant, the first time in the memory of
most of our people and it looks odd to see il.
Now if the Bank Directors would do the
proper thing, they would TT up that room

shelves and counters and paint and varnish
the place and put IN regular bank furniture
in the way of modern and up-to- date paying
and receiving tellers windows and desks and
do the public business in that room and use
the present quarters for the bank officials.
Then strangers could find the Bank withou,
guide or a search warrant As il has been

About the Great sculptor.

Week before last we published an article
on William Rudolph O'Donovan, the now
famous Sculptor of New York City, who was
born in this county, and we asked for in
formation in regard to the birth place and
residence of this eminent man. Squire A.
ID. Hagans. an old time resident Of Brandon
VILE, comes forward with information, TO
the effect that the O'Donoyaus we're res
iden,s of that town and came there about
1890 j. II. O'Donoyan, the father Of the
Sculptor. was tailor and married Sallie
Shaw for his first wife, a daughter of old
Sammy Shaw BY her he had two sons and
one daughter. She died and lies buried in
the Brandonville cemetery. ODonoyan
married for his second wife, Mary Bytc
and by her had two children, Rudolph and
Arabela. The boy had black hair and eyes
and was Of a quiet and sleepy turn. with
no apparent ambition then except Of o mil
itaTy nature, inspired by the old-tme drills
Of the militia and his father procured the
boy uniform and he would march up and
down in front Of the house and try 20 i'm.
itaie the soldiers IN their parading around.
Ills father, J. II. O'Donoyan, was post
master Of 3andonville for a number Of
years and lived in a house that stood on
land now owned by Mrs. Virginia Michacls,
but the building was torn down many years
ago. ODonovan moved from Braodonwllc
10 Rice's Landing, in Monongalia county,
when Rudolph was only about 8 years Of
age and they we're lost sight Of then by Mr..
Hagans, but he remembers them very well
when they resided in Brandonyille. Can
anyone else give us any further information

Governors of States and Territories
DO not usually make appointments Of
any kind with a view to asking ap-
pointees to resign upon the first criti-
cism offered. II the partisan character
of the Registration Board is not en-
tirely satisfactory to the public, the
responsibility OF the appointees to SO
conduct their business as to be above
possible reproach Is all tn emore i'm
pressive. 1t is to be supposed that Gov
srnor Dole Is convinced in his own
mind that the men he has appointed
will serve the Territory without partl-
san bias, thereby setting an example
OF the fair minded integrity Of the Re
publican Party. This superstition is the
charitable view for party managers TO
take.

NO TIVE FOR WAR.

Tho party that cannot rise above
swallow up or overcome an unfortunate
influence of compact or faction ism
worth much. This proposition vi rails
ing % roar when some mistake is made
and forever dwelling upon the past is
not good politics nor does it evidence
sound judgment among staunch Repub.
leans. either leaders or rank and file.
The camels struggles TO pass the eye

an attempt on the part OF any official to
satisfy everybody.
II is needless for the Bulletin to state
that this paper was not consulted in
the appointments made TO the Board Of
Registration by Governor Dole. At the
same time Il is not the province Of
staunch Republicans to impldnt both
feet upon the Governors political neck
every time he makes az appointment
that does not appeal to the practical po-
litical Judgment of the Party. If every
move that is made is to be the signal
| for a general melee of divergent opin-
| ions and the dominant party become
dominated by strife, II might just as
well go out of the business of securing
additions to the ranks and devote all
1 the time available between now and
| November to general war all alon.,

from the usual humdrum of political
life and receive the unhesitating en-.
dorsement of every man who does not
believe in Republican principles.
The Democrats do not approve of the
Boards of Registration. There's 10
reason why they should, nothing in
fact to suggest that they would approve
unless the majority Of the Board were
of the Democratic faith. To raise OBJ
jections is recognized as an inherent
right OF Democracy when II has not tho
reins OF power within its grasp.
But take the situation as IL is. The
