An Important Matter.

1t is up to Shepherdstown to make
a strenuous effort to retain It's most
important industry, the Potomac knit
ting factory-to largely increase it's
operations and make it more useful
than ever, or lose it altogether.
The owners of this factory have an
other plant of about the same size IN
a Pennsylvania town not far away,
and they have determined to consoli-
date the two establishments. The
question is where the consolidated
factory shall be located, and it Is now
for our people to determine. The
owners prefer to come here, and say
they will do so if they can be assured
of sufficient labor. The factory here
now employs from % to 80 young la
dies, and it is the wish Of the man
ayers to increase this number to at
least IS. If the additional help can
be secured they will stay here. II 1t
cannot, the factory will be dismantled
and the machinery moved away.
The executive committee OF the
Business Mems Association has taken
the matter in hand, and will appoint
canvassers to at once 60 to work in
this town and vicinity with the hope
of securing about so additional en-
ployees. 1t is to be hoped that every
person in the community will give
them such help as may aid them to
accomplish their purpose and that A
sufficient number ofyoung women can
be secured.
The work in the knitting factory Is
remunerativeand not unpleasant. The
girls make from three to SIX dollars a
week, and with the installation Of new
machinery that is proposed the wages
can be considerably increased.
This is a very important matter,
and it is hoped that the whole com.
munity will interest itself in trying
to keep the factory here. A meeting
of the Business Mems Association will
be held in the fremen's hall Friday
evening of this week at 80 o'clock,
at which all the members are asked
to be present, and the public gener-
ally are invited to attend.

Disastrous Fire at LeetOwn.

A dangerous and disastrous fire oc.
Cured early last Saturday morning
at the village of Leetown, in this
county, when the store and two dwell
ing houses went up in smoke. The
fire broke out in the dwelling occu-
pied by Miss Alice Nicely, next caught
the house in which John Davis lived,
and from there spread to Mr.. Strider'G
store. The three buildings were en-
tirely destroyed. No one knows how
the fire was started. 1t was discover
ed about 8 a. m, and had gained great
Roadway by the time an alarm WIS
given. Miss Nicely and Mr.. Dawson
lost all of their household goods, but
while there was yet time the crowd
that assembled got very busy and be-
gan to hustle the stuff from the store,
until about 81 800 worth Of merchan-
disc was saved.
The total loss of Mr.. Strider is es-
timated. at about $4,000, on which
there was an insurance of about 3d.
500, placed by Washington & Alex
ander in the Royal, the Phoenix, the
German-American and the Jefferson
County Mutual companies. The prop
erty of Mr.. Davis and Miss Nicely
was not insured.
The fire created a good deal Of eI.
element in Leetown, and there was
danger that other buildings would be
burned. Several caught FIRE, but were
extinguished.
Mr.. Strider, with characteristic en-
ergy, announces that he is still in
business. He has bought out B. +.
Wagely's store, near by, and has or
dersd full supply of new goods to
replace the articles burned. He e1-
poets to rebuild next spring.

Captain Willnef's Remarkable Escape
Shows What TO do in Time of
Trouble.

For many years, Captain Willnef,
says the Times, Of Gloucester, Mass.
was one of the best known seamen in
the Gloucester Fleet. The catarrhal
troub es with which be suffered for
fifteen years made him dread the nights
at sea, being unable to lie down
and sleep on account of the constant
catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to different
hospitals for treatment, but could get
no lasting benefit. He constantly
raised yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became so unbearable and
nauseatiug that be was ashamed to
go out in company. When despair
ing ofsver getting relief, his wife pur-
chased Hyomei outfit for him, and
trying it before going to bed. he en-
ioyed the first whole nights sleep
for ten years. Captain Willnef says:
Il have used LEES than two bottles Of
Hyomei and have been cured by the
remedy"
Hyomei kills the germs of catAr RI
and makes lasting and permanent
cures. Remnants Pharmacy sells
Hyomei under its personal guarantee
to refund the money fit does not give
quick relief.

John w. Avirett, the State game
warden of Maryland, was in Shepherd
town Saturday with his assistants, on
bis way along the river to locate the
fshpots in the Potomac. Mr.. Avirett
has blown up a number Of 6shpots in
the upper Potomac, but when he came
to Washington county the claim was
made that he had no authority to
interfere with them because of a
special provision of the law applying
to that county. He was informed
that he and his men would be violent
" resisted and men interested in the
fshpots have been on guard armed
and ready to fight if necessary. Col.
Avirett has suspended operations un-
till a decision is rendered, but he de-
clares that if the law gives him author
ity he will blow every 6shpot out of
the river. The owners seem to be
equally determined and they say they
will fight to protect their rights. 1t
is possible there may beserious trouble
over the matter. Most persons be-
lieve this war against the fshpots is
all nonsense. They catch nothing to
speak of save cells.
