Birmingham, Nov. 10.-(Special. .)-Hon. Robert J. Lowe. Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, an- nounces that he may probably appoint the committee tomorrow to draft a plan for the nomination of Democratic candi- tee was provided for in a resolution adopt ed at the meeting of the Executive Com
 mittee in Birmingham several weeks ago.
 The resolution also provided that the Ex-
 ecutive Committee shall meet at the call Of the Chairman soon after the first or
 the coming year to hear report of the
 committee on plan.
 While no definite action is given out. it
 is understood that MT. Lowe has already
 received replies of acceptance from three
 of the five men selected from him and
 that as soon as he hears from the other
 two he will make public the full com
 mittee. A meeting of the Executive Com
 mittee will be called for the middle or
 latter part of January by which time the
 subcommittee will be ready to report.
 On account of this action on the part of
 the committee it is not thought that tho different counties in the State will hold
 either primaries or conventions to nomi- nate candidates but the executive conn
 mittees in the counties will wait until the
 State Committee meets and acts.

A FEW LATE FLOWERS.
A Maryland Exchange Has Some Pretty
Compliments for the New Dominion
and for Morgagtown Men.

The Maryland journal, an up-to-
date newspaper published at Tow
son, Baltimore county, Maryland
has the following to say of the New
DOMINION" Prosperity and Education
Edition.
"The Journal is indebted to
Charles w. Held, son OF Judge Lewis
w Held, for a souvenir copy of the
prosperity and Education Edition
of the New DOMINION, setting
forth the great natural advantages
of the thriving young city Of Nor
gantown, W. Va, which has had a
phenomenal growth in compare
lively short number Of years. Nor
gantown is not what may be termed
a mushroom city" the growth of
day but the improvement has been
steady and is of a permanent char
acter. The edition is a work of art,
gotten up in splendid topographic
style, well edited, and is protuselv
illustrated with pictures that look
like they are fresh from the pho
tographer's hands. The kodak has
played an important part IN the
make up of this journal, while the
press work is first-class.
Towson feels little proud OF the
prosperity Of Morgantown, for it has
furnished that place with three
young men who were reared here
and are making a success of life in
their adopted home. They are Rev.
j. Tilton Marley, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Marley, who is Dean at
the West Virginia University. Rev.
Mr.. Marley is an Episcopal minister,
and is a graduate of Annandale
Theological Seminary, New York.
Emil Schultz, son of the late John
Schultz, who by dint of pluck and
perseverance, has risen to the posi-
ton of teller in the Federal, Savings
and Trust Company and Citizens
National Bank, one of the solid IN
situations Of the place. Mr. Schultz
has been citizen OF Morgantown
for a number of years. Charles w.
Held, son of Judge and Mrs. Louis
w. Held, who is member OF the
Monongalia county bar and has al
ready made rapid strides in his
chosen profession. Mr.. Held is a
graduate of the law department of
the West Virginia University, and

Run Enjoyed the Fourth Immensely.

One OF the largest and most success
full Fourth of July picnics held last
Saturday, was that given by the Sun
day School of the Christian Church on
Dolls Run, Familiarity known as the
Brick Church. The Sunday School
has had phenomenal growth in the
the last six months and the picnic
was a; fitting climax to the good work
done.
The gathering was in the grove on
the farm of Charlie Core, the able
superintendent OF the school
About one thousand people assembled
for the occasion. All the members OF
the school (and others) enjoyed dish
OF ice cream at the expense OF the
school, AT noon all sat down to pic
mic dinners, plenteous and delicious,
prepared by wives and daughters sec
ond to none in the country.
After dinner the program was be-
gun. The cornet band from Mt. Nor
ris furnished excellent music as did
also boys drum corps. Addresses
were delivered by Rev. Butler Of Mt.
Morris; Rev. A. p. Cobb, of Waynes-
burg; and ID. w. Ohern of Morgan
town.
On the whole it was an ideal picnic
and celebration. The school served
ice cream, melons and other delicacies
on the grounds and the gross receipts
we're about 1925. After expenses are
paid the school will realize a neat
sum.
