Don't get the idea in your head
that economy is another name for
stinginess. 1t is just as possible
for the advertiser who spends
100000 to be economical as it is
for the advertiser who spends but
800. Economy in advertising
does not mean niggardness-the
saving Of money by not spending.
It means, however. the expendl-
ture of money-whatever amount
to the best possible advantage.

An exchange says farmers
should help the rural mail carriers
by killing their barking, biting
dogs or keeping them tied up.
There is no reason why any car
rier should be annoyed by a dog
running along barking and nip
ping at his horse, or even barking
at his wagon. The mail carriers
are for the benefit of the public,
and anything that hinders them
in their work should be disposed
of quickly. Remember, you are
doing the rural carriers a favor
by putting the stamps on your
letters instead of putting the pen
MES in the box. Buy a book OF
stamps and keep it in the house,
and then you will always be able
to stamp your letters.

A Test OF sobriety.

Gentlemen who have put an enemy
into their mouths are recommended to
try a very simple test for the purpose
Of finding out whether their brains
have been stolen. They must stand
erect with their eyes closed, and II
they can perform this feat for o brief
period they may come to the conclu-
sion that they are all right. Two in
dividuals who were accused Of drunk
snness at Pontefract proved that they
had shonorably stood the test, and the
cases against them were dismissed.
The great merit of the plan - that It
can be put into operation anywhere

KILLED HIS AsSAILANT
William Jordan Shot to Death by
Or. T. Y. Booten.
END OF A DESPERATE FIGHT
Though Mortaly Wounded Jordan Knocked
His Antagonist Down, But Fell
Dead Over His Body.

A special from Front ROYAL, Va. Tues.
day night says that news was received
there of an ARRAY which took place at
Flint Hill, Rappahannock county.
about 10 miles from Front ROYAL. be.
tween DR. Theodore H. Booton and
William Jordan, which ended in the
death of Jordan By a bullet wound
from the pistol of Booton.
There had been hard feeling on the
part of Jordan relative to Booton s
management of his (Jordan's) sister s
farm, and when the men met in the
street Jordan assaulted Booton, knock
ing him down and stamping him,
until they were seperated by citizens.
Shortly afterwards Jordan tegan
the second assault on Booton. who
drew his revolver and fred twice, the
first shot passed through Jordan's hat.
the second tnking effect near his
heart. This did not check the infuri-
ated man, and he went to Booton
again knocking him down and falling
dead over his body.
Jordon was a weil-known farmer
Jast before the shooting DR.. Booton
was sitting on Chelp's store porch.
Flint Hill. He started to walk TO his
office, short distance away, to fill a
prescription for an old.colored woman.
AS he crossed the street he was ac-
eosted by Jordon, who was in krunk-
en- condition. Dr. Booton leases his
Office of Mrs Mellin. widow of DR..
Mellin, and Jordon's sister. and man
ages her farm for her.
Jordon demanded to know when che
doctor was going to give.up the man
agement of his sisters financial affairs.
The reply wss that when Mrs. Mellin
requested it. Thereupon Jordon
cursed the doctor and knocked him
down, it is said, with slat or cane,
and stamped and beat him. Mr..
Chelps, the merchant, pulled Jordon
off, and the physician rose TO his feet,
drawing pistol as he did So Jordon
was too quick for him and knocked
him down again AS Booton was
struggling to his feet the next time he
drew his pistol and snapped it, but K
failed to go off. A second pull at the
trigger was more successful. Though
Jordon was fatally wounded, he kept
up the fight and knocked Booton
down again
A corouer's inquest, presided over
by DR.. Browning, brought in ver-
dict of homicide in self defense. DR..
Booton is native of Luray. Jordon
resided near Flint Hill.

MARTINSRURG. w. va. SATURDAY JULY q 1904
AFTER THE AUTOISTS.
TURNPIKE C0mPANY ADOPTS NEW
RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Rate VIII be . Cents Per Mile and the
Speed Limit IL Fixed mt no
Miles Per Hour.

The Martinsburg e. Winchester
Turnpike Co. has dopted new set of
rates and regulations governing auto
mobiles and motorcycles on that high
way. and they were put into force
Thursday. The rate hereafter will be
IL cents per mile for all vehicles other
than those pulled by animals. Hereto
fore the rate has been cents per
mile. with the privilege of returning
the same day without extra charge
The new rate will catch them both
WAYS.
The new regulations state that the
rate of speed is not to exceed 10 miles
Der hour under anv cfrcuU distances
When approaching or in the act of
passing vehicles dawn by animals.
the machines are to be limited to a
speed of four miles per hour, and if
the animals show signs of fright, or
there is any danger of an accident,
the machines are to be brought TO
a full stop until all danger is passed,
In conversation with an officer of the
Turnpike Co., Wednesday, he stated
that in his opinion the rules were
fair to all, and that there will be no
objection on the part of the autoists.
He said that no policeman will be
maintained to watch the speed of
machines, but that if an accident
occurs and it can be shown that the
machines were being driven at a
speed beyond the limit at the time,
the responsibility for the accident
would rest with the autoists.
