Over in Nicholas county a few days

farm house and asked if he could stay

she didn't have much to eat, but that
if he would be satisfied with what sho
had he was welcome to stay. With
true gallantry he told her that what
was good enough for her was good
enough for him, and she asked nina
in. Seeing a casket of biackDerries,
fresh out of the patch, the stranger
remarked that there was nothing nc
liked better than blackberry dump
lings and that if she would only give
him some OF them for dinner he would
not ask for anything more. The wo-
man said she did not know how To
make them.

A VERY LIVELY TINE
AT THE BERKELEY COUNTY RE-
PUBLICAN CONVENTION
SATURDAY.
GENERAL HARMONY ABSENT.
AND 1T WAS A SCRAP FROM BE-
GINNING TO END.
Officers Had to Be Called in Mt One
Time to QueIl the Disorder-The
County Ring Ran Things to Suit
Itself, and the Result VIII Be n
Democratic Victory in the County.

Special to the Register.
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Aug. 10
The Republican county convention met
in this city yesterday. Seldom was
such bitterness shown by the differ
ent candidates towards one another,
and such lack of harmony was never
seen in any convention ever assem-
bled in this place.
The court house ring dominated all
nominations U. S. G. Pitzer, who as
pired for the shoes in which Dayton
stands, was renominated for Prescott
ing Attorney, because the ring feared
that Ward Lindsay, who was to have
been the nominee, would be unmerci-
fully defeated. The fun began when
the nominations for Sheriff were
opened. Six different candidates and
their friends fought bitterly against
one another.
George F. Evans and L. Dew Ger
hard were chairman and secretary of
the convention. An appeal was taken
from the decision of the chair, which
provoked such storm that the chair
was compelled to call in officers.
Peter Riner the present President Of
the County Court, was nominated for
Sheriff, and one of his opponents, who
was knitted by the ring, said that he
had $4,000 to use to elect himself, and
he would see that half of it helped to
defeat Riner.
w. T. Henshaw, at one time Demo-
crat, was put up by the ring and en-
gineered through for the House of
Delegates. Several delegates from this
city had the courage of their cOnvic-
tions to vote against the ring, and set
up another man, who was hopelessly
downed, as he was not in town to even
consent to be nominated.
About ten men were nominated for
each assessorship. and John Shaw and
Ohio Williams knocked the p1ums.
j. H. Miller, the father of one of the
aspirants for the Office of Sheriff, was
nominated for the County Court in Or
der to heal sores. 1t is said that he
will not run.
George w. Van Metre was nominal
ed for Surveyor without opposition,
the only harmonious nomination in
the convention.
The entire concern was a scrap from
beginning to the end, and was wit
messed by a number Of Democrats.
Many Republicans admit that the tick
ct is the weakest ever put in the field.
Enthusiasm was below zero, nothing
but scrapping was going on, and the
names of Mckinley and Roosevelt
were not once mentioned by any of
the speakers. 1t is said that the Dem
ocrats have better show of carrying
the county than ever before.
