CLIQUE BoUGHT ToTEs.

Tt is now even charged that the
Democratic clique bought votes IN
tile county convention. Democrats
who are on to the ways Of the clique
arc out-spoken in this respect. They
say they know Fighter had the
votes before convention day, a. many
Or them had promised to vote for
him, but when the vote was taken
in the convention they were not for
RICHTER. and that is one Of the
things that furnishes grounds for
the charge that votes were bought.
Clique methods are the rottenest
that ever happened and it is not
strange after all the things
the clique has done that life
long Democrats should buck on it
and its way of doing things. 1t is
entirely too high-handed for them
they say and they do not mince
words about it either. The con-
vention was happy thing for Re
publicans and disastrous one to
Democrats who wanted man elect
ed who would represent the masses
Of their party and not the clique.

Saturdays Clarksburg News said
seThe ring sheet over the way stat
ed that Teter would work to the sue
cess of the party, but did not say he
would support Dawson"
The day before the above was pub
lished by the News, it said:
sslIr. Teter, who was late candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for governor. expresses himself very
Loyalty in favor of the ticket nomin-
atcd and will give his successful OPP
ponent, Mr.. Dawson, heartiest sup

On the same day the Telegram
published these words:
"Mr. Teter. who was late can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor, expresses himself
very Loyalty in favor of the ticket
nominated and will give his success

If the News means the Telegram,
when it refers to the ring sheet n

only to refer the public to its own

chants OF Pittsbnrg have delayed 50
long in meeting this competition.
The Cleveland Leader says that the
Pittsburgers viii find it extremely
difficult to get ahead of Cleveland IN
trade and what has been gained by
the enterprising Wholesalers Of that
city Will doubtless be held On the
other hand the Pittsburg Gazette
saws that Pittsburg is now ready to
take care Of all Of the trade to
which it is entitled and that the
merchants and manufacturers there
are going after it.
All OF this goes to show that the
trade of West Virginia is expanding
to immense proportions and Is be-
coming of such magnitude as TO at
tract manufacturers and wholesalers
IN large cities hundreds of miles
away. As a matter Of fact the COM
nercial activity of this state is OF
oreater magnitude than but few
imagine. 1T is of such Importance
that the hustlers of the two large
cities mentioned are ashamed Of
themselves for not paying more at

cal manner, ssif the sheriff and his
deputies do not serve the processes

them in the hands Of q constable,
who has the same authority as a
sheriff or his deputies Again;
does the mouthpiece Of the Demo-
cratic clique hold out the idea that
the office Of sheriff is to be "a downy

would expect the constable to do
his work for him, why not advocate
the election of the constable to the

1t is not conceded by the Demo-
Gratis that the Democrats will elect a
sheriff this fall. Notwithstanding
what the mouthpiece of the Demo
cratic clique says about it. Tho
truth is there are lot of lifelong
Democrats who say the very opposite
These Democrats would in all pro-
liability have voted for a Demo-
cratic candidate for sheriff, if one
had been allowed to be put up by
the rank and file of the party, but
they say they viii not stand for the
Democratic court house ring, which
they pronounce the worst ring ever
in the county There are but few
besides the Democratic clique, also
known rs the Democratic court
house ring, who pretend to say a
Democratic sheriff viii be elected
this fall, and in view of this fact it
behooves the mouthpiece of the
Democratic clique to post itself, be-
fore it attempts such palpable
blunders.

The mouthpiece Of the Democrat
lie clique objects to the law which
saws it is the duty Of the county
court to fill the jury box once a
year, from which the county CLERK
shall draw grand jurors for the var
ions terms of circuit court and in
substance says this ought to be left
to the sheriff. That is one Of the
reasons it assigns why a Democratic
sheriff should be elected this fall.
but in the name OF high heaven how
would that take the matter out OF
the hands of the county court and
The county clerk. The only way il
could be done would be to employ
the same high-handed methods good
old Democrats say were used by the
clique in the county convention.
Besides. why is the News 50 anxious
10 deprive the county clerk Of one
Of his duties?

After defining what it believes to
be the duties of the prosecuting at
torney and the county court, the
mouthpiece ends up with these
words, esthus it behooves the people
of this county to remember the inn
Dortance of electing a Democratic
sheriff this fall" But it is not at
all clear how that would change the
duties Of the prosecuting attorney
and the county court. We tallc It
for granted from the argument Of
the mouthpiece of the Democratic
clique on this subject, that the clique
would expect Democratic sheriff
to make new laws, by which the
county court must govern itself.
That is an excellent %gument
against electing the clique's candi-
date. The people do not want any
thing so dictatorial as that indicates.
and the masses of the Democratic
party know it is only too true Tint
this clique gave strong and plain evi-
dence in the county convention and
the campaign preceding it Of its die
tatorial disposition, as well as the
high-handed methods it would en-
ploy should the people entrench It
in power.

The Democratic clique has been
talking Of running some Of its own
members for state nominations, but
after making such miserable fall
ure Of it in selecting its nominee for
sheriff, is has probably given up
that hope and authorized its mouth
piece to come out for Holt for the
governorship.

Another absurd reason the mouth
piece OF the Dmocratic court house
ring assigns why a Democratic
sheriff should be elected this fall IS
that the county court is required by
law to do certain things and docs
those things.

A COTTON GIN.

At the cotton convention held
at the Court House Saturday,
Messrs. A. E. Brown and w. e.
Bates. we'll known and reliable
residents of this town, guaran.
teed to the citizens of Randall
county the erection of a cotton
gin at Canyon City, provided,
that one thousand acres or more,
of cotton, was pledged to it.
This, places the cotton propo-
sition, so much of late talked
about in these columns, square
ly before our people.
Do you want it?
If so, see any member of the
committee appointed at the cot
ton convention Saturday and
tell how many acres you will
put in this year. If not con.
venient for you to see any of
them call at the News Office and
register your name.
In the humble opinion of the
News this is a move decidedly
in the right direction. Take
hold of il and do it Now!

and much greater interest was

detail W. E. Bates stated that
he and Mr.. A. E. Brown would
guarantee the erection of the
gin provided as much as 1000
acres of cotton was planted in
Randall county contributary to
said gin. A call was then made
on those present to increase the
acreage already pledged with
result as follows:

Pneumonia in Chicago.
Over 5000 people died of pneu-
monia in Chicago last year. In
every case the disease resulted
from a cold. Had the cold been
promptly and properly treated at
the outset almost everyone would
have recovered. This statement IS
abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands
throughout this country who use
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
cure their colds, no case of pneu-
monia has ever been reported,
which shows ooncIusively that this
remedy is certain preventive of
pneumonia. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has gained its wide repu-
tation and enormous sale by the
prompt and effectual cures Of colds
and can always be depended upon.

Mothers should always keep in good

Gus condition exist, dangerous alike

stop to it at once7 No mother should
be without this old and tried remedy

promptly cure any lung, throat or
bronchial trouble in herself or her
children. The worst cough or cold
can be speedily cured by German
Syrup; so can hoarseness and conges-

Home Insurance.

The Home Protective Society,
an insurance company chartered
under the laws of Mississippi, is
now completing its organization
here. Its officers consist only Of
citizens of Lafayette county. 1t
is on the mutual plan and the fee
of membership of $3.50 is so
small that any one can take this
insurance. A medical examina-
ton is required thus giving it all
the advantages of the stronger
companies and at much less cost.
1t is the simplest kind of insur-
ance, you pay only when a mem
Der dies and this is only S1.O0.
There are no salaried officers and
hence a member gets the full
benefit of what he insures. No
money is sent away, thus keep
ing all dues at home with our own
people.
The company is reliable and
should meet all the demands of
those who desire a small amount
of insurance at the smallest cost.
DR.. P. W. Rowland will conduct
all medical examinations and the
funds will be deposited in one of
the banks here,
1 see no good reason why this
company should not work up a
full membership in short time.
The order is worthy of the sup
port of the best citizens. Mr.. j.
S. Purser, q student of the Uni
versity, has charge of the organi-
zation and his worth and ability
will enlist interest wherever he
goes. LEE M. RUSSELL.
