In the list of candidates for the Of
flee Of Secretary of the Common
wealth, the name OF Mr.. Robert l..
Ailworth, of Northampton. will be
presented by the Eastern Shore when
the Legislature meets next week, and
the gratifying information comes to
us through our exchanges, that his
claim to the position is being re-
ceived with favor throughout the
State, not only because of his emf
nent fitness for the place, but as due
to section, which in victory and de
feat has stood by the Democratic
party and has ever been willing to
do all in its power to uphold the
honor and promote the best interests
of the old Commonwealth. That we
are entitled to such recognition, and
that Mr.. Ailworth will fill the Office
il elected, with credit to himself and
honor to the State will not be ques-
toned. 1t should be tie pleasure Of
the next General Assembly, If they
would deal justly with by us, to give
Mr.. Ailworth the appointment which
he seeks and the people of the East
ern Shore believe his merits and ser
ices to his party entitle him to re
ceive at their hands.

announced through our columns,
will be held at Accomac Q. H, on
Wednesday, December 18th, and
every stakeholder is not only invited
and expected to be present, but is
promised such hearty welcome that
he cannot afford to stay away. With
the prospect of receiving $50 per cent
on his investment he will, of course,
want to be present, but if no divi-
dend had been declared, it is his
duty to neglect no opportunity to
help by his presence to greater sue
cess an organization which has done
SO much this year to fill his pocket
with cash and thereby provide for
the comfort of himself and family.
1t is the duty of every member to be
present, if for no other reason, to
see that mistakes are not made in
the selection of those who are to
manage the affairs of the Exchange
for another year.

which is asked for them, but the rec
ommendation of the chief Of the ser
vice does not go far enough. The surf
men too deserve more compensation.
United after few years in the ser
vice for any other work they should
not only be paid better while risking
their lives to save others, but should
have a pension when on account of
old age or because broken down in
health, they are retired from the
service. There is neither reason or
justice in pensioning a soldier for
taking life and not giving pension
to those who risk their lives to save
others
