A Tale nfTwo River Towns.

Cumberland spent some money this
week in Qualification over good water
how much is not stated.
Cumberland's good water, rising i'll
West Virginia mostly, keeps clean acres
of turpcntine dust. and carries away
Elk Garden mine sulphur, Ocean, Mid
land, Homecoming, Pekin, Moscow, Bar
ton, Westernport, Piedmont and Keyser
drainage. including 1 :, tons green vitriol
daily and a strong infusion of tan-juice.
Piedmont, on the other hand, unable
to stand even the turpentinc and sulphur,
is arranging to expend $4,000 to 10000
to get water from Savage river.
The difference between Cumberland
and Piedmont people is far greater than
the thirty miles of distance between the
two towns suggests.
1t makes the Cumberland people look
like cent mile.

Mistake.

The relative proportions of urban and rural
population have not the importance that
they once had. Modern conditions have
brought the city to the country and the
country to the city to such degree that the
dividing line is not only not sharp but even
extremely hazy, if it exists at all.-New York
World.
Not so in Cumberland.
At least the farmers round about are
trying to break down a high-taritf wall
the city people have built around some
streets that cost the county 81 800 year.

The Savannah morning news., 1900-08-09
MA. TONNES WITHDRAWAL.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Towne from the
Populist ticket was not unexpected. His
action was foreshadowed when he went
before the convention of the Silver Re
publicans at Kansas City and asked 1T not
TO nominate him for Vice President, but
to nominate Mr.. Stevenson. He is the
head of that organization, and it followed
mis- advice, though, it must be admitted,
rather reluctantly.
1t would have been a mistake for Mr..
Towne to remain as the vice presidential
candidate of the Popullsts. A double-tailed
ticket would have confused voters just as
il did in 1886 With Mr.. Towne out of
the way. the Populists will join the Dem
ocrats In support of Bryan and Steven
son.
It is assumed, of course, that the Pop
ulist National Committee will approve the
action of Mir. Towne. That body is au-
thorized to make a nomination for Vice
President. II has been called together by
its chairman for the purpose Of taking
such action in the matter as it may deem
proper. No doubt there will be a pretty
49,
course that should be pursued, but it is
hardly probab BILE that the committee will
be guilty of the folly of making another
nomination. The Populists are anxious
for the election of Mr. Bryan. The way
to bring about his election is to give the
support.
Some time ago it was said that If Mr..
Towne withdrew, many of the Populists
would vote the ticket of the Middle-of-the-
Road Populists. 1t Is probable that some
of them will do So but the number will
