GOOD AND BAD COUNTIES.

Gently sent out from Bluefield. W.

IF Fayette county in the south
ern part of West Virginia is not
the wickedest county in the United
States. the one which SURPRISES it
Is yet to be heard from. To begin
with the Judge of the Criminal
Court was under Indictment for
embczzlement at the time of his
election, Is still under indictment
and a special Judge will have to sit
at his trial in his own court. The
president of the County Court.
which has the sole power TO grant
or refuse licenses to sell liquors in
the county, Is the principal owner
of the only wholesale liquor house
in the comfy, and every saloon
which secures license in the county
buys It's supplies from this whole
sale house. The Sheriff of this
county i a barkeeper. has been
one for twenty wears and has been
convicted several times since he
has occupied the Office of Sheriff
ofillegal liquor selling. \ Justice
of the peace in the county ran
away with Il woman and was mar
ried to her at Cincinnati. 1t de-
veloped later that he had another
wife living and he was indicted for
bigamy. \ son of 4 former Judge
of the Criminal Court was tried by
his fathers successor for murder.
Out of the nine thousand voters in
the county. over six thousand
were last year returned delinquent
for the non-payment of taxes"
Now, Just sit down and compare
that with the position and condi-
ton of Clarke county.
And yet there are some people
in the county who say we haven't
much to be thankful for.

Election returns are true measures
OF n mans personal or political popu-
larity. In districts Where all elements
OF society are resident the canvass
shows the esteem IN which candidates
are held. The Eleventh congressional
district or New York Is "A typical. rep
rescntative cosmopolitan community.
Within it's boundaries Is part OF the
west side. whose residents work hard:
part OF Fifth avenue. where wealth
and ease abound. ana part OF the
Broadway business section.
This Is the district that elected Will
liam Randolph Hearst as its represent
alive I'm congress by the largest major
ity ever given 20 representative in
Greater New York. The figures are
interesting. Representative Hearst re
ceived 26.953 votes. 16.1i2 more than
his Republican opponent The same
percentage given To Bird s. Coler. the
candidate for governor on the same
ticket. would have elected a Demo
cratic governor OF the Empire state.
Mr.. Hearst's majority was COCO great
er than Mayor McCleilan's one year
later. and the same precincts gave Mr..
Hearst 1900 more votes than Judge
Alton II. Parker received. and the lat
ter had the advantage I'm that the Re-
publicans did not nominate any one
against him.

POTASH MINES.
They Are All In Prussia and supply
the Entire World.

rhey Are All In Prussia and supply
the Entire World.
The potash which is dug from the
royal PruSSian mines, located ut Strass-
furt, ninety miles from Berlin, is the
Iole source OF the worlds supply. Be
fore the mines were discovered the
best substitute which could be found
for the product was wood ash, such as
the southern plantations used in the
old days for making I've soap. The
Prussian mines are twenty-seven in
number and We're devoted 10 the pro-
duction of salt before rock salt was
discovered.
When the new variety OF salt was
given TO the world the Prussian mines
were temporarily abandoned, and in n
few years n search for rock salt was
instituted. The salt was found, but
In badly adulterated condition, and
an analysis Of the adulterant revealed
the fact that il was the most valuable
part of the mineral. The potash was
at once turned to use as commercial
fertilizer.
The mines are controlled by n syndi-
cate. They employ 21,0O0 men and
yield 200 car loads Il day OF potash.
OF the entire output 40 per cent il
used for agricultural purposes, while
the remainder is used for chemical
purposes, It is largely utilized I'm the
cyanide process of extracting gold
from the ore.-LOuisville Courier-Jour-

The department of commerce and
labor recently published the statement
that the average cost OF living i'm Amer
ica has increased 10 % per cent. This
statement Is based undoubtedly on
wholesale market quotations.
Since Nov. 1. 1908, there has been an
average reduction OF wages throughout
the manufacturing ccnters OF the east
OF 10 10 20 per cent. Flour and other
foodstums have increased In price since
the same date.
The price OF newspapers in the great
cities has been reduced two-thirds I'm
fifteen years. The cost Of producing
them has increased. Notwithstanding
these conditions" says William Ran
dolph Hearst. my papers pay hand
some profits. and wages are higher and

has given thousands of dollars to
the poor of the country every year.
He has endowed the University of
California at Berkeley. He has fed

Trusts that threaten the very foun-

1t is said also that Mr.. Hearst
has no political experience. The
country has suffered for years
from a disease known as political
ability" Whatthe country needs,
and has needed for years, Is man
with honesty of PURPOSE and love
for his fellow-man. We have had
enough of political Presidents.
Mr.. Hearst Is serving NJ this
time in Congress from the city of
New York. He was elected 10y
the largest majority ever given to
"a Congressional candidate from
that district. Doesn't that show
that he Is we'll thought of in the
district in which he has lived for
the past ten years.
The delegates from Rhode Island
to st. Louis have been instructed
for Hearst.
The State central committee of
California has unanimously adop-
ted a resolution i'm favor of Mr..
Hearst.
Adlai Stevenson, said of Mr..
Hearst: Hearst Is name to
conjure with whenever Democrats
gather"
Prominent Democrats and cdi-
tors all over the country have de-
clarod in favor of Mr.. Hearst for
President.
OF course, our readers will not
find any of these things compli-
mentary TO Mr.. HeasSt in the
newspapers which oppose his can
didacy, but they are in Il hopeless
minority, and the fact remains
that Mr.. Hearst Is the leading can
