ing and Shun Their Loyal
Partymen.

The King got in its work on Sat
urday-posters and letters had been
sent out by the hundreds TO notify
the faithful that there would be a
meeting, but not to exceed thirty
responded. The Ring and Bosses,
however. met in the Court Room
and determined on the following
ticket: Harry Norton for Clerk of
the County Court. Charles P. Kraft
for Clerk of the Circuit Court, John
A. Borgess. for County Commits
sioner, Harry g. Porter and S. D.
Hanna for the House of Delegates,
Q. A. Green for Superintendent of
Schools. After fixing up the tick
ct for this year the Bosses proceed
ed to provide for the nomination
of Chas. w. Hogsett for Sheriff
two years hence. This Was fun
ny meeting of the Bosses. What
do you think of set of Ringsters
and Bosses getting together to
parcel out the offices and then
passing a resolution that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to
raise campaign corruption fund
of $1,000, to beat Col. Smith for
County Clerk? Chas. W. Hogsett,
John F. Lewis and Prof. r. A.
Riggs were the committee selected.
The resolution was introduced
by John P. Austin. Has the Ring
became so bold and corrupt that
they can thus bid for votes? Do
they think that the people of this
county will endure such high
handed scheming? What has be-
come of all the loyal RepublicansP
Are such men as Robert E. Mitch
ell, w. ii. Howard, John Blessing,
Hon. Byrd Hill, ]. S. Somerville,
Earl Henry and many others to be
thus ruthlessly set aside to meet
the mandates and behests of those
RingstersP The people, however,
will have something to say about
this high-handed procedure and
they will speak in no uncertain
tone in next November.

nsaaber to cover the desired distance.
The cord or saing used by him in
fastening his legs together, says the
LEADER Courier, was made of raw
hide, so that when he was travelling
through the grass of a morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
and stretch nearly a foot, and so his
steps were much longer Of a morning
than they were of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
