The Nomination Of John r. McBraw.


The Democratic Convention of
the Second Congressional District
has nominated as its candidate John
/. McGraw. The people Of Marion
county were so long identified with
the second district that more inter
est will be awakened In the fight be
tween Dayton and MeGraw than be-
tween tue opposing candidates in
the district of which Marion is now
part. 1t will be battle royal Day
ton has had large experience, has
the prestige of many victories in the
past, and reputation as a clean
man and the ablest preventative in
the House from West Virginia On
the other side be has been so many
years in Congress that he has ere
ated the usual jealousies and rival
RES that spring up in party
against man who has long held of
flee. Then he has not always been
tactful in the distribution OF pat
ronage. For these and other reasons
Mr.. Dayton will find hard work
TO line up his full party vote. What
ever of dissatisfaction there may be
against him will hardly take the
form OF active Republican opposi-
ton. His greatest danger will come
from the lukewarmness of party
friends who, in their hearts, would
like to see him meet defeat at the
polls.
Mr.. McGraw on the other hand,
will inspire wonderful enthusiasm
among Democrats who have been
licked so often in that district, that
they are anxious to redeem them
selves from party defeat, and Will
hail McGraw as the Moses to lead
them into the promised land. Me
Graw is aggressive, full of energy
and doubtless is prepared to make
the fight OF his lite to realize long
coveted seat in congress, and to beat
his political and personal opponent.
His political adroltness is seen in
the platform adopted by the conven
ton. He will bring home to the
people OF the district, the opposition
of Dayton as a member OF the Naval
Committee to giving justice to AID
miral Schley, and many West Vir-
ginians are such sincere admirers of
that gallant sailor, that this point
will doubtless have considerable eff
feet in some parts of the district.
just now, though the district is
normally Republican, the odds are
not against MeGraw, and if he
makes the fight his friends expect
against Mr. Dayton, his prospects
are by no means bad for electio 1t
will be remembered that DAYTON only
beat him 800 four years ago out OF a
vote OF over 10000. DAYTON is prob
ably no stronger now than then,
whereas the conditions of this year
probably give McGraw greater
strength than he possessed at that
time-Fairmont Times.

One ia New Mexico Owns a Herd
of Is, o0O
Mrs. Armour, in Sierra County New
Mexico. owns a herd Of more than % ,o00
Angora goats. from which she is making
$4,000 profit a year. Her Columbia
Pascha'' is the most valuable Angora in
America, and worth s. 500
In 1899 she was left widow, penniless,
and with nine small children dependent
on her for support The ranchmen and
miners took compassion on the destitute
family and contributed a small sum for
their immediate relief.
Then she pluckily cast about for some
means of earning living. so that she
might not be a burden on the generosity
of her friends. BY chance there drifted
into camp ranchman with a herd of 30
Angora goats for sale. Nobody cared to
buy them, for it was thought there was
more money in cattle raising With gen
uine intuition Mrs. Armour looked at
their sill1en coats, and knew that they
would be valuable
But she hadn't the money and didn't
want to borrow. So she made a PROPOSE
tion to take a small flock of the goats.
tend them and care for them and breed
them for one year. and divide the profits
with the owner. The proposition was ac-
oepted. She took her goats and her chill
dren and went up on the mountains. 6.o0e
feet above the sea level. where the scrub
oaks grow in profusion. Thus she secur-
ed the necessary fodder, and as for shell
ter, the goats needed none She located

down TO wo,k. At the end OF a year her
success was such that she had money
enough to buy a Cock Of her own and
start out independently.
Since that time each year has added to
her prosperity. she now employs twenty
goatherds TO care for her hocks. The
greatest precaution is required TO pro-
tect the goats from the inroads Of the
mountain lions. or cougars. which are 50

In reply TO this question. what kind OF
boy Willard was physically and men
tally, the witness said Willard was not
like other boys, had no particular friends,
and seemed to be feeble Of mind.
He used to look pale sometimes. He
would lie down and cry. He would pay
very little attention to Us. He used TO
complain of pain in his head. He told
some of the neighbors he had tried TO
kill himself. We always watched him
when he had these attacks. He has not
a sound mind"
The witness testified that for five or
six years her son had told her Of his de-
votion to Miss Suttles. and that he had
spoken Of her this spring more than ever
before.
Jack Lee, brother of the accused, was
next called to the stand
Jack Lee testified that his brother some
times appeared TO have no sense at all.
He was always peculiar. The queer
est thing was the way he used to go of
by himself, lie down on his face and cry
Then he wouldn't look at anybody or
tails TO anybody. These attacks were
worse in the spring. He's never been a
boy OF much intelligence
rs this boy OF sound or unsound mind?
demanded Col Arnold.
t'Unsound.' said Mr.. Lee, decidedly
How was he about associating with
girls?" fl
4 never saw him with girl in my
life"
was he drinking mang'
mo sir. He never drank"
Ed. Harwell. a cousin Of Lee, who
lives about quarter OF a mile from
Lees home testified that NIillard was
not like other boys, that he could not
converse connectedly, and that his mind
always seemed at a standstill
I advised him TO quit going after Miss
Suttles." he said, because she was his
superior and it wouldn't do him any
good. But he thought his affection was
reciprocated, though the other boys
laughed at him. The boy was always
considered weak-minded in the commun-
ity, and people generally treated him
more like child than as a man. I never
considered him of sound mind. I didn't
hold him accountable for his ways
Would this man know the difference
between right and wrong?" demanded Mr..
Hill in discrimination.
AT times don't believe he would"
replied Mr.. HarwelI
He goes to parties?"
yes
He shaves hinself?'
Yes
He goes to church? Plays base ban?''
Yes
"One minuter' exclaimed Col Arnold,

Yes
He eats?"
Yes
He breathes?
Yes
Yes. I thought he did," growled Col.
Arnold looking at Mr.. Hill.
Jim Livesey, Lees brother-in-law ties
titled that he had known Willard Lee
for the past ten years. The witness told
OF Lees inability to hold an intelligent
conversation.
To me-" said Mr.. Livesey, he seemed
to be q man of feeble mind. He Just
played with my little nine-year-old boy.
When he was with the boy playing his
face just glowed but whenever I would
speak TO him he just shut up and we
couldn't get anything out Of him. don't
think he is a man Of sound mind"
