SCHoPpERT'S FORD BRIDGE
The important work at the Schop-
pert ford bridge has been completed
and the work has been decided Inn
provement. The splendid bridge set
upon piers and abutments of heavy
cut stones laid in cement makes a
structure that will wear through the
storms OF many years to come and the
cut on the hill west OF the bridge has
made that must decided improve
ment there. II was impossible
to haul heavy load up the hill be.
fore whereas the grade has been
heightened and made comparatively
east This road is one of the inn
portant thoroughtares leading to
Martinsburg and the improvement
ought to increase the travel from that
direction. The people of opequon
district certainly ought to feel grate-
full to the county court from their
generosity toward them. The en-
tire work will cost somewhere near
$4,000.

REPUBLICAN PLATE ORM

The republican national platform
has attracted III UGH attention all over
the country. 1t has called forth much
comment from the leading Democrats
OF the nation. Chief among them is
the comment of the Hon. John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi. the z reatest
leader the Democracy has had in
many years. He analyses the plat
form of the party of trusts and COM
bines thoroughly and efectually.O
of his comments is as follows
The Democratic party believes
that this ought to be, as nearly as
possible, white mans country-a
homogeneous people. maintaining
he white mau's civilization founded
on his peculiar code of ethics. 1t con-
stantly voted therefore to exclude the
Chinese. The Republicans profess to
believe that there is no difference be-
tween races and that all ought to
have equal privileges. If SO, then
the Chinaman ought not to be for
hidden to earn living, which is a
much higher privilege than voting in
America. The inconsistency is pal
pable. The republicans cast right
vote upon the Chinese exclusion
question, but it was an un-republican
vote -
Again in commenting upon the
platform he said:
I'm the platform it is said 1--WE
pledge ourselves to insist on the just
and equal treatment of all citizens
abroad" American citizens of Rus
sian birth and Jewish race will find
it hard to reconcile this profession
with the fact that the Secretary of
State will not issue a passport to one
of them to visit and sojourn in Russia
without warning him that he will
not be protected there. 1t is late,
right now. on the eve Of campaign
to insist that that will be done which
is not being done and which has not
been done namely, to secure to all
American citizens rights OF travel and
sojourn in foreign countries.
On the trust busting" PROPOSE
ton mentioned in the Republican
platform, Mr.. Williams has this to
say:
"The boast that the admins tration
has executed the anti trust law is, OF
course, ridiculous. The Attorney Gem
eral, in response to resolution OF
my own, frankly confessed that
nothing had been done, and left the
inference that nothing would be done
toward the criminal prosecution OF
men found guilty by the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
Northerd Securities case, which was
initiated by Gov. Van SAINT, of hav-
ing violated the provisions of anti
trust legislation. The entire repnb-
lican party at the lest session of the
House of Representatives, with the
exception, voted against proviso in
structing the Secretary OF the Navy
| not to enter into Government con-
tracts with trusts and unlawful COM
binations convicted by law of being
such"
| In speaking of the plank in the
platform of the republican party that
deals with the negro suffrage problem

At midnight wild alarm filled the admin

Whittier was just departing for home in
the belief that quiet was assured for the
night. and had reached the gate, when
five reports shattered the midnight air in
the direction of the pumping station.
simultaneously over the telephone came
the report that the outposts had discov-

He refused. Again he was commanded to
halt and to advance and be recognized.
The stranger again failed to halt and evil

Then the sentry fired five times. and at
least one bullet had taken effect. as the

first casualty since the arrival OF the
