hitting in local article that the
Presidential fight was really be-
tween Hearst and German. We
have said that Hearst was the man
ever since our connection with the
COURIER, and after a very close
investigation of the feeling among
Democrats in New York, New Jer-
sew and West Virginia, we feel
more and more inclined to our first
belief. Hearst is man who rep
resents the sound financial interests
of the country. He is in business,
anG would never advocate any fl
nancial legislation to the detriment
of business. He is forty-one years
of age. He has supported the
nominees of the Democratic party
in every campaign. He gives
thousands of dollars every year to
the poor of the country. During
the campaign of 1896 and 1900 he
duplicated the campaign subscrip-
tons of the Democratic clubs of
the entire country. He gave at
least S5O0,0 900 in money to the two
campaigns. He believes in a white
mans country. He says the North
is not in a position to understand
the negro question. and he says
let the South alone. " We ask
YOU frankly, can the same things
be said to the credit of any other
Democrat in the United States to-
day. Can YOU find another man
who has done as much for humanity
and poverty as Mr.. Hearst has
done Can YOU think of any man
who has the affection and conf
dence of the laboring men as Mr..
Hearst has. Do YOU know or
have YOU ever heard of any dis
honorable or underhand act that
Mr.. Hearst has ever committed Z
Then why should anyone anywhere
object to such man for President Z
Let us have an honest government,
and an honest President before all
the world.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year
when the prudent and careful
housewife replenishes her supply
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is certain to be needed before
the winter is over. and results are
much more promptand satisfactory
when it is kept at hand and given
as soon as the cold is contracted
and before it has become settled
in the system. in almost every
instance a severe cold may be
warded off by taking this remedy
freely as soon as the first indica-
ton of the cold appears. There
is no danger in giving it to chill
dren for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it.
Buy it and you will get the best.
It always cures. For sale by &c.

A YEAR WITH THE COURIER.

During the past year we have
added twenty per cent TO the num-
Der of subscribers TO the COURIER.
We have installed new machinery
and material to nearly double the
value of the plant when we assumed
charge one wear ago. We have
purchased a nice piece of ground
facing the Bank of Clarke County
and have erected a building thirty
by eighty feet in size for our ex-
elusive use. We are now prepared
to do the finest book, color and
enclosing work. We have worked
hard, and feel that we have earned
the success of the past year. We
have asked charity of no one, nor
will we ask it. If our work and
efforts have not entitled us to con-
sideratiOn, we want nothing. We
cannot please every reader, for
that is impossible. We have tried
TO make no enemies, and in the eff
fort have made some. For that
we are sorry. Perhaps they will
accept our will for the deed, and
return TO our friendship.
During the year to come, we ex-
pect to give our readers the benefit
Of n tirst-class weekly correspond
ence service from every postoffice
in the county. and some towns in
neighbOring counties. We intend
TO make this a weekly feature. We
will improve the COURIER in every
way possible, and will try to make
it the best paper that reaches you.
To do all these things we must
have the cooperation and assist
ance of our readers. We ask you
TO inform us of any news items
that YOU may know about. Very
often important pieces of news will
be missed by us, for the reason
that we cannot be in more than
one place at one time. We will bo
glad TO publish local items about
YOU or your friends at any time
that YOU may tell Us. We want t.
give all the local news. VIII yor
help us by giving us any items that
may come to you in the course o.
each week.
We wish YOU every one a Merry
Christmas. And for the new yea
we hope health and prosperity vii
come to you and remain.

THE BRIDGES.

Concerning the strength or sta
bility of the first" bridge plans
or the second" bridge plans we
have nothing to say. Experts are
the only ones to Judge on these
points. But we desire to empha-
size the fact that we are in favor
of bridges across the Shenandoah
River even if they cost S75, 900. If
1t shall be found that $40, 900 is not
sufficient to build structures that
will stand high water, wind and
drift-wood, then by all means
let another bill be introduced in
the Legislature increasing the
bonds TO $4,000, or any amount
that may be necessary. We are
in favor of bridges every day in
the week. They will be worth al
least $4,000 a year to Clarke
county, and we feel that those who
oppose the bridges are standing il
the way of public improvement
and Advancement. Let us hav,
bridges at any cost. But let then
be structures of whom no one will
stand in fear. If those who nov
condemn the second" plan vii
come out boldly for good bridges
even at $4,000, there will be n
result but success. Come out, gen
tlemen, and favor internalimprove
ment and advancement.

FROM THE WEST.

EX-Representative James Ham
ilton Lewis has the following to
say concerning the pext Presiden-
tial campaign:
If the present temper of the
Democratic party continues, Will
liam Randolph Hearst will be nom
mated for President, and if the con
ditions of the country continue as
they now promise, he will be elect
ed. The demand for Mr.. Hearst
in the Middle West is produced by
form of unanswerable logic. The
Democrats in that part of the cOun-
try say, that as Mr.. Bryan, who
leeds the extreme liberals of the
party, is out by his own declara-
ton, and Mr.. Cleveland, the leader
of the ultra-observatives or the
wealthy element. is now impossible
10y his own declaration, there should
now be found a man who combines
the elements of wealth. so that le-
gal wealth in the country may feel
that it will not be unjustly assault
ed, and one whose personal SYM
pathies are with the masses of the
country upon the great measures
necessary to their prosperity. They
solve this for themselves by saying
that Hearst embOdies these ele-
ments more than any other man
now before the country.
For myself, | admit my preju-
dice toward Mr.. Hearst by virtue
of long years of personal friend
ship. When l was a young man
in the Northwest he never lost ar
opportunity to favor me, as has
been his habit to assist every mar
who made any effort to rise in the
world. In later years we have
been thrown together in the pros
ecutiOn of similar public measures
and were daily thrown together
during our mutual service in con
nectiOn with the Spanish-Americar
war. But aside from the points O
personal friendship, as a Democra
| must agree with the sentimen
which prevails in the middle Yves
as to his availability for the nomi
nation for President.
