Cars Scarce.

The scarcity of cars referred to in the Birmingham circular Is not exaggerated. Coal operators that need twenty cars a day are doing well if they get six or eight. .s.se. a
 The transportation companies have been receiving new cars at what they consider a pretty fast rate. but traffic has far exceeded their expectations. One reason that accounts for the scarcity of freight cars is the demand made upon the roads for moving pig iron from this district to Pittsburg. The T. c. I. Is mak- Ing large sales to the United States Steel Corporation, to say nothing of their other trade Cars going long distances take time to get back home.

Views Notes of Interest From the
Belmont County Metropolis.
State


The delegates from this county to
the Democratic State convention will
leave for Columbus Tuesday morning.
The delegation is made up of the fol
lowing persons: See Carmen, r, S.
Blackburn, Ham Glass, r.. c. Meyer, J.
T. Flynn. NJ. G.. Lynskey, David Wag-
ner. John Baugh. Alex. Lowe, Albert
Lawrence, David Coss, A. Shannon and
W. s. Obey. They go to the convention
u~ninstrueted and SO far Is could be
learned they are for Col. Kilbourne for
Governor. As to the rest OF the ticket,
they will support the best men.
II was rumored last night that the
name of D. II. Milligan, of st. Glars
Vile might be presented before the on
vention for the nomination for clerk
of the Supreme Court. Should MIR.
Milligan allow his name TO be used
there is no doubt but that he would
have a large following in the conven-
ton. He has been a hard worker for
his party. often giving his services at a
sacrifice of money and time. He is a
lawyer by profession and possesses SUI
perior qualifications for the important
Office. His nomination would be a
check to the otherwise large vote Mr..
Emerson expects to get in this county.
That Col. Kilbourne will have con-
siderable opposition in the convention
is evidenced by the activity OF the rival
candidates. Mr.. Zimmerman will be
on the ground early, and at present 1t
looks as though he might make things
rather interesting. He, 1t is said, laid
claims to the Belmont delegation on
tho ground that they were uninstruct-
ed, but it will not be wise for him 10
count them as his own. The conyen-
ton, however, will have no strings to
IL. The delegates Will nominate a
ticket that will be made up of the
strongest men in the State-men who
will use their every effort to overthrow
ring rule" and one mar power in the
State. A ticket that will, If elected
institute a more economic administra-
ton OF State affairs, Il that will work
for the best interests of the many in
stead of the few.
