FIFTY CENTS PER TON.

The Best Offer Yet Made to Farmers
for Storage.
Many farmers are taking advantage Of
the Preston Parton Milling company's
liberal offer to store grain at 30 cents
per ton until July /, 1905. This is by
far the most liberal inducement yet
offered the farmer as regards grain
storage. It should always be kept in
mind that the Preston Parton people
are in no way connected with the ware
house combine, but are wholly inde-
pendent. They have come to Athena
for the purpose of doing business and
will pay the highest price for gram.

Should Dawson get the nomination
for governor in this state, it will be by
methods that no one would think of US
ing in Harrison county, such as the inn
portation of people from other counties
for primary purposes. And yet the Har-
rison County Herald says he is the real
stun and it fully approves of his meth
DDS and has made appeal after appeal to
the people to support him. Some of the
fellows in control OF the policy of that
paper went 50 far as to let it be known
to MIR. Dawson just how many thousand
dollars they would need oe his money to
carry the county for him at the primary
election. They named the amount and
then they got him here, as they thought
for the purpose of handing it over to
them. but when he arrived he was here
for an entirely different purpose as the
results of the conference he had snow.
When he left he had half OF the Har.
rison county delegation, but that crowd
did not give it to him. He did not have
to spend nose thousands of dollars they
were demanding OF him either. Then
it was that IIarmcr accused them OF
selling him out. Then it was that Har-
n,er charged him with throwing him
down. These are facts, and. yet they
refuse to support the county ticket up.
on tie hypothesis that little money
was used in the primary election. The
truth Is they never intended to support
the Republican ticket, and, as matter
Of fact, Dawson himself no doubt con,
eluded that it was not safe to leave any
money FOR campaign purposes around
here, unless it was what some of them
was charged with receiving for tnat al
legged selling out of Harmer by them.

louder than words and both have been
heard land seen in their course. They
are not Republicans nor do they recog-
nize the Republican party. TO the con-
trary they nave but one fixed purpose
and that is to defeat the Republican
party. Then, they are Democrats. No
man can serve God and Mammon, no
man can serve the Republican party and
the Demorratic party at the same time.
No man can be a Republican and work
all the time with Democrats 10 defeat
a regular Republican ticket. Thousands
Of men nominated the present Repub-
lican ticket and those thousands OF men
are to be considered. VIXEN it comes to
Republication, rather than the few
who either did not vote or scratched off
the ticket every man except one or two
They thought were their men rather
than Republicans. For this little set
to enter into collision with Democratic
schemers and undertake to say that
the Republicans of tine county shall not
elect their ticket is not only gall but
it IS m Infringement on the rights Of
the party that should he officially re-
scented and they should no longer be al
lowed 10 issue sheet under the hypo-
critical prctcnse of being Republican.
There is time TO speak plainly and
this is one of them. 1t is noticed that
they are always afIilia ting and asso-
ciating with the Democratic sehcmer-
and there has not been a time within
the past several years that they have
not done so. They get their counsel
from these Democrats. They get their
inspiration from them also. The fact
is they get the stuff they put in their
organ from the same source and doubt
less most of it is written by those same
Democrats. 1t is n situation that
should not be tolerated and summary
action should be taken. The Repub-
icans of this county should not submit
ITO it. Make that little gang snow its
colors and tear Off The lwoR's covering
it has on. They should either be Re
publicans and recognize the actions of
the majority or be forced to identify
themselves openly and plainly with the
Democratic party.

THE HERAID's COURSE.

In the words of Senator fIarmer,
speaking of the part OF the Herald
crowd that was apparently 50 anxious
to have Dawson run for governor. ait T
they had heard that he was putting
money into his campaign lnvishly, they
swooped around like MIXTURES 10 get nold
Of his money for this county. They
went 50 far as to name the actual
amount they would need to carry the
county for him. Then it was arranged
for him to come here"
Those are tine men WHO are now howl
ing against the Republican county ticket
on the alleged grounds that little mon
ey was used in district or two. If
Harmer's description OF them and their
actions and desires and intentions is
correct. and there j. no reason to doubt
it, because he was certainly in position
to know and to speak the truth it comes
in very bad grace for them now to howl
about the alleged use OF money in a
campaign. 1t is shown clearly that
that had led Mr.. Dawson to believe that
they would resort to it in this county,
if he would deliver them the coin. They
led another or 50 to believe the same
thing. Tkey persuaded MIR. Dawson
that it would have to be done and they
insisted that he should dig up. But
that gentleman was better Judge of
them than they thought he was and he
sized the situation up ina way, when he
got here, that left them without the
filed wallets they had So eagerly
Fought and which knocked the props
from under their promised plan q buy
votes and spend money at the polls in
other ways to give him the county.
This is the crowd that is now talk
ing SO loudly about the purity of the
ballot box and denouncilg the Repub-
lican party in the county; it is the same
crowd that had lived in great glee for
month or so. n the result of their con-
| temptation OF the barrel they were to
get from Mr.. Dawson to buy this coun-
ty for him. They were elated over the
great opportunity they thought they
would nave 10 buy votes and peddle
booze. They went 80 far n, 10 arrange
| II To handle certain elements of the vote
of the county in that way and tried to
persuade Mr.. Dawson that they had it
all fixed even going % far as TO have
kim hold 4 short conference with repre-
sentatives Of those wnom they had as
snred him they could purchase.
But the plan did not materialize and
they did not get that barrel. They
then got sore among themselves and
there was denunciation of one another
They accused one another of selling out
and destroying the plan 20 tap Dawson,s
barrel.
So sore were taey, in fact, that, when
primary election day came on. they de.
clined 10 vote for more than one or two
on the ticket. They were so angcred
and disappointed that they could not
even vote for magistrates, constuble.,

QUEER FIGURES.

The Wheeling Register figures it out
that all the West Virginia delegates to
the Democratic national convention OK.
cept two are for German, notwithstand.
ing the fact that at the time of their
selection they were for Parker, or at
least supposed to be. 1t seems little
funny that they should be for German
when the fact of their desertion OF the
late William L. Wilson is considered.
1t was the Commanding of his tariff bill
that caused Democracy to treat Wilson
in such cool manner, as well as his
gold standard inclinations, and German
was responsible in large degree for all
that. German himself was under the
ban of West Virginia Democracy a long
time also. But he like them switches
about from one thing to another so af-
ten that one can never tell where they
are, but no good reason can be assigned
why West Virginia should be for Cor
man except that he is from a state
nearby. His sort of Democracy is GER
tainly no better than Parker,s. as both
are very much Clevclandized. German,
it will be remembered, was prominent
fnctor in the Cleveland administration
that brought calamity to the nation,
and he was just about as much response
bic as Cleveland himself. Again, it is
remembered that German was not so
much of freetrader ms Wilson. Democ.
racy turned the hitter down because he
upheld the platform he wa elected on.
German was elected on the same plat
form bnt he deserted it. He tried to be.
come protective tariff advocate but he
did not know now to do it successfully.
Wilson was punished by defeat for his
faithfnlne.s to the party and German is
to be rewarded for his betrayal and de.
sertion of the party. That is queer
politics, but Democracy is in the habit
of doing queer and inconsistent things.
Besides the last official act of German,
when he had the power was an attempt
to initiate the Republican party on the
tariff question. This fact coupled with
the declaration by the Democratic papers
in this section that tariff is 20 be para.
mount Issue like it was in days gone
by makes the Registers figures all the
Gueerer. The fact i Democracy shows
that it does not know where it is or
what it will do in national convention

Men who advised the disruption of the
Republican party before the primary
election by trying to start movement
to get another than the regular county
organization and who also insisted that
they and all they could persuade should
not go TO the polls to vote for any of
those who had offered themselves are
not the ones to kick now. They had a
chance to have favorites before the peo-
pie at the primary, but they sulked'at
tine suggestion of the Democratic schem-
ers, who have them under their thumbs
and now they have taken the liberty
to abuse and denounce those who were
nominated. 1t is an assumption and a
liberty on their part that should compel
them to 20 into the Democratic party
and stay there. but there is strong
intimatien that the Democratic party
does not want them but prefers them
to remain, where they are. 1t is also
stated on creditable authority that they
would have openly identified themselves
with that party long ago. if ii had not
been for the counsel of tine Democratic
spliemers, who told them that they
should profess to be Republicans and
remain where they are so as to raise
all the trouble possible. This j.. she
actual situation in nut shell and no
loyal Republican should overlook it,
That little crowd belongs to the Demo
cratic party. and, if they will not repent.
they should be made go to their own.

RELICS OF BYGONE DAYS.
New Methods Responsible for De.
serted Homes and Villages in
Parts of New Jersey.

In driving through certain portions
of the townships of Washington and
Bass river, says a Mount Holly IN.
j. dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean, one is struck by the number Of
deserted homes that line the main
thoroughfare, through the pines. In
some circumstances small villages that
we're once prosperous communities, are
u~ninhabited and rapidly falling to de-
cay.
In years gone by in the pine district
there was considerable manufacturing
going ON, shipbuilding was an active
industry, and the lumber trade oceu-
pied a large share of attention. The
manufacture of iron from bog ore was
also carried on. Now this is all
changed. New methods have been
responsible for it. The old furnace
at Martha, where large quantities of
iron were made, is a heap of ruins.
Near Hampton Gate is a church in
which the colored people used to wor'
ship, and it. too, shows the marks of
time. "King" Lewis Armstrong, de
ceased, of Mount Holly, was wont to
come in years gone by and stir the
brethren to fresh deeds of spiritual
valor.
Another historic place is Washing
ton tavern. Years ago it was a popu'
lar resort and favorite stopping place
for teamsters carrying merchandise
| from the shore TO Mount Holly. To-
day the building is tottering, the
fences have the vertigo, while all along
| the road are to be found abandoned
and dismantled homes.

National Billiard Tourney.

NEW YORK, Feb. Al. DE Nun
Smith of st. Louis surprised many of
the local billiard players by his defeat
of Edward w. Gardner of Passaic, n.
j., in the fourth game of the national
amateur billiard championship tour
nament, which was played at the Lie
derkranz club here, by a score of 300
to 2S2. The western player took the
lead in the fifth inning and held it to
the end, although Gardner pressed
him closely toward the finish. When
Smith had only two to make to win at
the end Of the forty-second inning,
Gardner added q neat bunch of 10 to
his score, and Smith could only make
l.. Then Gardner settled down for a
splendid run of Ga, but slipped up on
an easy shot, leaving the balls in per-
feet position for the st. Louis man to
score the necessary shot to win.
