Our well-known countyman Mr.. Adam
Young. of the Wheatland vicinity, a few
days ago lost pocket-book containing
about $64. Strange to say it laid in the
big road where he dropped it from
Wednesday to Saturday, when it was
picked up and returned to the owner by
Mr.. Benz. Champion. of Clarke county.
As Mr.. Young had made known verbally
that he would give SO for its return he
rendered this reward to Mr.. Champion.
The latter however would receive moth
ing, and was glad to be able to return to
Mr.. Young his lost property intact.

The Democrats of Morgan county have
this year the best fighting chance they
have ever had. Dawson, the old clerk,
was thrown overheard by the Repub-
licans and is running independent. with
the Democrats supporting him. Creed
Cross. Republican nominee for the Legis-
lature, has become extremely unpopular
on account of book written by him and
which the Democrats are using freely as
a campaign document. The result is
that both Dawson and Fisher (the latter
the Democratic opponent OF Cross stand
a good chance of election, and that there
will be a considerable Democratic gain.
A we'll informed gentleman just from
that county tells us that McGraw will get
from one to two hundred Republican
votes there.

President Roosevelt has issued state
ment to the effect that he IS " keenly in

President of the United States is unusual,
and its issuance indicates Mr.. Roosevelt

the rank aud file of the party must be
spurred to activity.

And now the Republicans hereabouts
ale endeavoring to instill into the minds
of the colored voters the idea that Col
McGraw will have them disfranchised and
will have " Jim Crow" cars put in oper-
alton in West Virginia. These same
speopIe know well enough that Col. Nc
trrasv> could effect no disfranchlsement
of the colored man-that he would not do
so if he could, and that he could not if he
would. They know further that the idea
of having Jim Crow cars in West Vir-
ginia has never been preached by sim
ole Democrat in the State, and that the
only thing of this sort in West Virginia
is made effective on the Norfolk and
Western Railway. owned and controlled
entirely by northern capitalists, and in

stead of giving the Republicans five dis

ago, it now gives them but three. Things
