The project of running a geodetic
base-line between Cairo and the Cape
of Good Hope calls attention to the
strange hostility often shown by saw
age tribes to the operations of the en-
gineers. In India it has been found that
the erection of pillars and cairns to
mark the site of surveying stations al
most inevitably attracts the attention
OF the tribespeople in the neighbor-
hood, who subsequently destroy the
monuments. Similar trouble is found
in africa, South America and else
where. For this reason it is suggested
that the only way to safeguard the
basal points of great triangulation in
uHclvlllzed lands is to fix a large num-
Der OF secondary points, scattered over
the country, consisting of natural fea-
lures which cannot be removed, and
which will remain unknown to the ma
uves.-Youth's Companion.

not conceive Of the horror and misery

tween the states. Many thousand

honored graves. who died that this
Nation might endure.
Since the close Of the war the
North and South underatand each
other better than they. ever did before.
Neither one can well get along with
out the other. The commercial inter
est is mutual, and by an exchange Oh

TO an unprecedented extent. CUES
tions Of vital Importance are becoming
easier to settle every day between the
North aud South. In other words,
they are closer together than they

all our hands.

Notice.

The executive committee is very
DESTROYS of having each respective
candidate, for any Office In this county,
present at meeting in this city on
Saturday, April 80. This is done in
order that the political situation of
this county can be thoroughly con.
sidered and such actions taken that
will be advantageous to party interest.
There is no doubt but what this idea
is a good one. Those who desire the
nomination for any political Office
should meet this committee and dis
cuss freely any questions pertaining
to themselves. The party should be
first in consideration, and no man has
a right to force his name ON the ticket
ii he is not strong candidate.
Let it be understood, however, that
this committee does not intend to
name single candidate. Each man
has a perfect right to offer himself for
any Office he may desire. The will
of the people must rule; therefore, the
one receiving the most delegates is
the proper man for the nomination.
No one has claim on the republican
party. IL does not make particle of
difference if he has given his time to
politics; he has only done his duty as
good citizen should do.
We will add, however. that it is not
absolutely necessary that each candi-
date present himself at this meeting,
for any one has perfect right to an
nounce himself at any time before the
county convention. But we think it
will be better for every prospective
candidate to attend this session of the
| committee, putting himself in line for
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1904-04-09
Attention.

We wish to call the attention Of the
republicans throughout the county to
the fact that the Lincoln Club Of this
city has started with fair member
ship and promises to become lead
ing factor in county politics. Each
evening political questions are ably
discussed by influential men who are
we'll informed upon the issues which
must be successfully met in this COM
ing campaign, If the Republican party
expects to remain in power. We do
not know OF better place for those
who are Interested in politics to spend
short while than listening to the ar
guments on political questions at the
meetings of this club. 1t meets every
Friday evening in the G. A. X. Hall,
and all republicans are cordially invit-
ed to attend.
This club has had for its presidents
some of the most prominent men of
this eitv, among whom was the much
lamented u. s. C. Pitzer, he being
the last president of this organization.
1t is needless to state that he gave it
his earnest support. and that his pres
ence every meeting night gave the
members increased vigor and renewed
inspiration. Under his wise. leader
ship the club fiourished to great
extent, and bis memory shall ALWAYS
be cherished by those who sat under
his ruling. Let every earnest worker
attend the meetings OF this club and
become we'll informed upon the politi.
cal questions of TODAY.

OFFICIAL CALL.
Second District Republican
Convention.

The Republican Congression-
al Convention Of the Second
District of West Virginia is
hereby called to meet in the
city of Grafton, Taylor county
West Virginia, on Tuesday, the
18th day Of April, 1904, for the
purpose of nominating the Re-
publican candidate for Con
gress for this District to be
voted for at the next regular
election: to nominate a candi-
date for Presidential Elector; to
select two delegates and two al
ternates to represent the Second
Congressional District in the
National Republican Conven-
tion to be held in the city of
Chicago, in the month of June
next, and to select one member
from each county of this Dis
trict to compose the next Con-
gressional Committee therefore
and to transact such other bust
ness as may seem to said Con-
vention to be proper and for the
best interests of the Republican
party.
The basis of representation
for each county in said Conven-
ton shall be one delegate for
each hundaed votes, or remain
ing fractional part thereof of
fifty votes or more, cast for
William Mckinley for president
in such County at the Presiden-
tial election held in 1900, that is

party success no matter who the for
tunate candidates are.


The Congressional convention OF
this district meets at Grafton on the
IL inst. Delegates from this county
have already been selected, and they
will undoubtedly vote as a unit for
the nomination Of Hon. A. G. Dayton.
To say that Mr.. Dayton is one OF the
foremost men in congress is stating
the truth precisely. His important
place on the naval committee has
given him wide prominence through
out the entire United States. No man
in congress is better posted on naval
affairs than MIR. Dayton, land his
opinion is frequently sought by naval
authorities.
Some of the people of this district
undoubtedly do not appreciate the
worth Of their Congressman. II they
did, they could not give single reas-
on why he should not return to con.
gresss. In fact, ifhe were not return.
ed to congress the whole nation
would be deprived Of his great
knowledge on naval affairs.
But Mr.. Dayton is not only known
as an expert on naval affairs. He is
well informed upon the great political
questions of today, and he is peculiar
ly fitted to discuss them intelligently.
His voice in congress is listened to by
his constituents with great attention,
and his arguments are recognized as
being logical and convincing. Indeed
the people of this district should con-
graduate themselves on having such
an able and worthy representative in
the person of Hon, A. g. Dayton.

CALL FOR MASS
CONVENTION.

AT a meeting of the County
Republican Executive Conven-
ton held March 26,19O4, it was
ordered that a mass convention
of the republicans of berkeley
countybe held in the court house
on Saturday, May 81, 1904, at
IL a m. for the purpose of Sc
lecting delegates to the state
Nominating Convention that
will be held in Wheeling July
~, when candidates for the
several state offices will be
chosen. The basis of represen-
tation will be one delegate for
every $50 votes cast for the
Gubernatonal candidates in
1900.
The following table is the total
vote of each majesterial district
cast in said election in the
county and the number of dele
gates said district is entitled to,

A shame.

The riot whieh occurred i'll the
Republican convention at Parkersburg
last Saturday is disgrace and stigma
upon republican politics of this state.
Is it possible that intelligent men, who
hold responsible government positions,
cannot meet and elect delegates with
out coming to blows? Why not submit
to the peoples will, and if Mr.. Dsw-
son is stronger candidate than Mr..
Teter, then, MIR. Dawson should be
nominated, and Mr.. Teter's friends
have no reason TO complain; or, vice
versa
Ii the republicans desire to turn this
state over TO the democrats agaiu, just
let them keep up this fi.ht little
longer. Certainly the time has not
come when governors are to be- NOM
mated by delegates chosen by the fac
ton which is the stronger physically.
Each man has right to work as hard
as he can outside of a mass meeting.
but when they assembled honor and
decency should control the convention.
Harmony is to be desired i'll every
county, therefore, it is to be hoped
that such disgraceful scene stall
never be witnessed in this state again,
1t would be we'll for the republicans
of this county to get together and
agree upon some plan for the division
Of delegates, if the people desire a
division. Above all things harmony
should prevail here. and if the re-
publicansexpect to elect their ticEet
party differences must be entirely
obliterated. ''In union there is
strength, is just as true today as it
ever was. In fact this county will
go democratic if the republicans fail
to agree upon all political questions.
Therefore, the great Importance of
harmony. A word of warning is
sufficient.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
PETER slime INJURED BIZ Acct
DENTAL DIscHARGE OF GUN.
His Face Was Mutilated by the Load
Bus He Suffered No Serious Injury
Was Out Hunting.

Philjb Slime, the II year old son of
Mr.. Philip Slime, of South Spring
street, had narrow escape from being
killed Wednesday evening, while out
cunning, by the accidental discharge
of his gun. The boy who is very en-.
thusiastic over hunting, yesterday
afternoon took his gun and went into
the country to do some shooting, and
he had not been out long before he
met with the accident.
He had placed the gun which was
loaded. on the ground, with the stock
down, and in some way touched the
trigger with his foot, causing it to
discharge. The muzzle was near his
face and when it went off, the load
plowed furrow in his forehead. The
flesh of his face was badly mutilated
but his skull. was not injured. If the
gun had been little closer to his face
there is no doubt that he would have
been instantly killed.
Although the wound bled profusely,
the youth seemed not to give it much
attention and came home leisurely.
His appearance frightened everyone
he came in contact with, he being
covered with blood His wound was
dressed and he is now about as usual.
