WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 20
Evidences of bad Republican scare
over the situation in West Virginia
are plentiful at the Republican Con
gressional headquarters here.
The Star Republican paper.
tonight says that Republican ad
vices from West Virginia are to the
effect that the political situation in
that State indicates the necessity of
more vigorous action on the part of
Republican than has characterized
the campaign thus far. Reports
have been received which show great
activity among the Democrats with
resulting benefit to the Democratic
outlook.
'The Republican managers in
West Virginia are somewhat sur
prised and disappointed over the at
titude of the Gold Democrats of
prominence 1t is found that some
men who wield considerable in.

West Virginia Republican leader
settling forth the dangers to Repub

that there are whole lot of Gold
Democrats in his vicinity who be

been eliminated from politics and
who will vote for Bryan

lican, lit is cer5ain that there are a
hundred influential Democratic gold
men whose judgment carries the
votes Of others, who will vote for
Bryan in November, but who would
not do so if they understood that a
slump to Bryan would also result in
changing the political complexion Of
the United States Senate. .
Another West Virginia correspon-
dent writes to the Republican Con
gressional Committee f;om another
district
''This district can never be car
ried for the Republicans in walk

very vigorous campaign.
Letters to the Congressional Com.
mittee from all the Congressional
districts in West Virginia breathe
the same spirit: That no walk over
is in sight for the Republicans.

reports the Republican campaign
in the Mountain State is to be

TANKERS LEAVE.
Seven New Tanks Have Been
Constructed this Summer.

Net Gain OF Six Tanks at the Pump
Station The Men Have Been all that
Could be Asked While they were Here
Lots of Money Pat into Circulation
BY Them and Little Disorder.
The last gang of tank builders left
Morgantown on Thursday morning
for Olean. They have beea here
nearly all summer and have been
hard at work adding new tankage
cal acity to that already at the Pump
Station. Seven new tanks were built
and connected with each other by
pipes and the new tanks were also
connected with the Station by pipes
One Of the new tanks takes the
place of the old one which was burn
ed some time ago after being struck
by lightning. The net gain over the
original number is six. Thee are
now more than thirty tanks up there
and each one holds an immense
amount of the greasy fluid
While the tank builders were here
they behaved with lew exceptions in
the very best manner possible.
There has been on an average fifty
men at work. Some times this ran
over one hundred and at others there
were not over twenty working. Rut
at all times while they have been
full of fun and other ingredients they
have acted all right. One or twice
some of them got too jubilant and
had to be curbed.
The visit of the tankers has result
ed in great amount of coin being
put into circulation. They made
good money and they had no hes
itancy is loosening themselves from
it. Everybody has felt the influence
of the money that was put into the
channels of trade by them
All about the Station improve
ments were made during the sum
mer and the place looks even better
than it did before. The employees
are very proud Of It's appearance and
they have been identifying it in
many directions. al Rider is proud
est of his flower bed OF any thing up
there.

proof of this fact was the destruction OF

SAMUEL WATKINS.
faster Merchant and r1an of Progress
SiVe Ideas.

Master merchant and man of pro-
gressive ideas as well as aggressive
methods in business Mr.. Samuel Wat
kins is constantly emphasizing by
some act of his He is not content
to stand still. He believes in going
forward. And in no way is this bet
ter illustrated than in the conduct OF
his own private business.
Mr.. Watkins has on foot some
plans which, when carried out, will
put his establishment long way
ahead of anything yet dreamed OF for
Henderson: which will make it in fact
the equal of am modern apartment
store of the big cities in point of up
to date methods, perfection of detail,
comfort, convenience, &c. In some
respects the building will be re-
modelled, the inside plan being
changed to conform to the new order
Of things. \ passenger elevator Will
be put in, electric fans run in sum-
mer. and other innovations intro
duced for public comfort and con-
venience and the prompt and eXpedl-
tiOus transaction Of business through
out the establishment.
Some of the departments will be
changed giving more room Tor other
lines. 1t is to be made regular city
store and one of which Henderson
and Vance county will have additional
cause to be proud. These changes
have been made necessary by Mr..
Watkins, rapidly growing business
And then he thinks Henderson Is
entitled to the best and it has ever
been hi. ambition to supply 1t.
Mr.. Watkins will have his own cleo
tric lights, a steam plant for the pur-
pose being located in the rear OF the
hardware store. From the main
building to the hardware store a .u'-
peusion bridge will be built across
Wvche ALLOW connecting the two, thus
with the elevator service, making
them practically the same as il they
were under one roof.

INTERESTING AND EDIFYING.
The Special Services at the Baptist
Church Last Sunday.

The services at the Baptist church
Sunday, while not exactly partaking
OF the nature that had been an
nounccd, were very interesting and
edifyiRg nevertheless. DR.. Nann.
president of the Baptist Female Uni
ver>ily, could not get here, but Rev
.. l.. Struggled, agent Of the same
institution, came in his stead.
DR.. Hufham spoke briefly of the
event which the services of the dav
were designed to mphasize-the
closing and opening of century
and graphically and eloquently some
Of the marvellous achieve ments Of the
present century now nearing the end,
were referred to. This has been a
very extraordinary period in the
worlds history. and vet the veil has
scarcely been pulled far enough aside
for Us to get glimpse of things yet
TO be. The new century is full OF
the seeds Of great events and still
greater and more marvellous achieve
ments in the world OF progress and
improvement will come from the
womb Of the future for the uplifting
Of mankind and the glory of God.
Mr., StringtieId preached a splendid
sermon although his remarks did not
take the form and spirit of the oc-
casion. He spoke rather OF woman
and her place in the world, empha-
sizing what the present century had
done for her uplifting and the power
and influence she is capable of exert
fng for good or evil. 1t was true
story he told. a beautiful tribute that
he paid, tender and touching at times,
earnest. thoughtful. eloquent through
out and the congregation heard him
gladly,
At night Rev. j. W. Lynch. Of Wake
Forest, preached. 1t was not our
pleasure to hear him but we are told
he preached very fine sermon. One
gentleman declared that it was the
finest pulpit effort he had heard in
ten years. And he is man Of in
telligence and a member of the church.
who hears good preaching often.
Altogether the services at the Bap-
tist church Sunday were of an UNI
usually interesting and instructive
character and those who attended
upon them have to thank DR.. HUFF
ham. good and thoughtful as he al
ways is, for arranging this special
feast Of good things for his. people.

Buggy Factory in Prospective.

\ buggy factory is one of the pros
pective enterprises for Henderson.
A move is being made along that line

something less than $4,000, and
more than half the desired amount
has already been subscribed. One OF
the most thoroughly competent and
practical buggy manufacturers in
the country will be Unidentified with

Coates, of Danville. Va, were married
here at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon.
1t was not a runaway affair but for
reasons satisfactory to themselves
the young people decided upon aquiet
marriage away from home in this
way. There was no objection on the
part Of any one on either side; indeed
it had for some time been understood
by their friends and families that they
were going to be married, and it was
only the time and manner that caused
surprise.
Mr.. Carter is related to Mr.. H. c..
Linthicum. of Henderson. He had
visited here and has number Of
friends and acquaintance in the
town. Attending the Methodist Con-
ference together in Norfolk last week
they agreed to get married and re-
turn home as husband and wife in
stead of sweethearts AS they came.
Having decided upon this in view Of
the facts above mentioned Henderson
was selected as the place. They
came here. the necessary license was
procured, few friends were let into
the secret, carriages were hired and
together the party went to the resi-
dence Of Rev. NJ. II. futile where and
by whom the marriage ceremony was
performed.
