Ace of London BRIDGE.

London Bridge will be seventy-three
years old on August lst, for it was on
that date 1881 that it was formally
opened by the King and Queen of Eng
land. The famous American remedy
Hostetters Stomach Bitters is now in
its 5lst year, being first introduced in
1853, and when you consider the fact
that 1t has been before the public con-
tinuously all those years you must real
iZe the merit it contains, without which
it would have failed long ago. Today,
however, finds 1t more popular than
ever, especially among men and women
who suffer from poor appetite, cramps,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia,
indiges ton, constipation or malaria.
Don't fail to try it, The genuine has
our private stamp over the neck Of the

A DISPATCH from Norfolk, Va,
gives the following piece Of news:
A well-dressed stranger is offering in
ducements to Norfolk negroes to move
to West Virginia for the coming cleo
ton. Two are known TO have been APP
preached. One is negro Of che before
the-war type, employed by Messrs. G.
w. Dey Il Sons. THE man stopped me
on the street, says this old negro, land
told me he would get me good job out
there il would go. Il want near on to
100000 men before the election, he
said"
1t looks as if our Republican friends
are scared, if they are beginning the
campaign thus early.
Incidentally it may be observed
that registration law is pretty badly
needed in West Virginia. Also a re-
striction of the franchise 20 far as it
relates to the negro vote.

In a recent interview Mr.. Davis

In recent interview Mr.. Davis is
quoted as saying:
II supported Bryan when he ran
for President, and l believe l was the
only railroad president in the country
who presided at a public meeting and
introduced Mr.. Bryan. My youthful
appearance is often a matter Of COM
ment, but l have no rules which are a
guide to the fountain Of youth. |
sleep eight hours daily, eat three good
meals of plain food. l use very little
wine, and never use tobacco in any
form. live in country which is
1000 feet above the sea, and the air
is full of ozone and life-preserving
properties. 1 have made it a rule
never to worry, keep clear conscience
and think with these simple rules
anyone with a good constitution ought
to live to a good old age, l inherited
a good constitution and it was strength
ened by hard work on the farm in
my early life, and to that, with the
good habits which l early formed, l
attribute the fact that l feel no older
today than I did years ago. When
l go out walking with my secretary,
he sometimes complains that l set the
pace too fast for him, but sometimes
think he only says this to fatter me.
l have been used to hard work all my
life, and am sure l will thrive on
campaign work.

After the C. g. o. Canal.

AS the REGISTER has heretofore pre-
dicted, the Western Maryland Rail
road, now a part of the great Wabash
system, will make a strenuous effort
to secure the Chesapeake & Ohio ca.
nal. Vice-President Landstreet, OF
the Western Maryland, has addressed
the following letter to Governor War
field, of Maryland, under date of July
20:
"Dear Sir-The Western Maryland
Railroad Company, as you know, Is
now engaged in building connecting
line between Cherry Run and the city
of Cumberland in accordance with the
terms of the Act of Assembly of 1907
the line, as indicated in the Act OF
1904, crossing the Chesapeake & Ohio
canal at several places and requiring
us to occupy portion of the canal
lands. The ownership Of the State s
interest in the canal would be pos
sible aid to US in acquiring the neces-
sary rights of way over and along the
canal. Public interests, as well as
those of our company, would in this
view be promoted by the sale of the
States interests in the canal to
this company. The authority to
sell the interest of the State is vest
ed in the Board of Public Works and
appears to be full and complete W hen
ever in the judgment of the board the
public interest requires such action.
"Since the publication by the board
in 1895 and in 1899 of invitations for
proposals for the purchase OF the
States interests, from which no sale
resulted, the value of those interests
has been reduced, not only by accu-
mutation Of interest on superior liens,
but by the voluntary subordinatlon o;
the liens of the State to claims Of con-
siderable amounts.
Believing, however, that the pos
sible usefulness Of the States interests
to us at this juncture affords to the
State an opportunity for sale which
would not otherwise exist, and that
reasonable offer from this company
will commend itself to your board, we
beg to present this suggestion and to
request its early consideration by the
Board of Public Works.
Very Respectfully,
"F. s. LAYDsTREET,
"Vice- President Western Maryland
Railroad Company"
Governor Warfeld has called a
meeting Of the State Board Of Public
Works for August 4th, when action
will be taken on the request of Mr..
Landstreet. There is every probable
ity that the Wabash will eventually
gain its object, for public sentiment in
Maryland favors this road as against
the B. so. During Governor LowndeS
administration the States interest was
offered for sale, but bid made by B.
s. o. interests was rejected. Last
winter the Maryland Legislature
showed its preference for the Wabash
by granting it power to condemn ca
nal lands and permitting it to cross
the canal wherever it desired with its
new line between Cherry Run and
Cumberland, Notwithstanding these
privileges were strongly opposed by
the B. & O. The Western Marylan d
will probably get what it wants.

ANOTHER important step has been
taken in the Russian-Japanese war by
the capture of Niuchwang. After
many preliminary fights, concluding
with prolonged battle, the Japs cap
tured this important strategic point
on Tuesday, and the Russians have
fallen back northward. The Japan
ese. by the capture of Niuchwang,
have now an ideal base for their cam
paign in Manchuria, as they have
seaport and railroad facilities.
The Russian feet of battleships has
been selling many merchant ships,
and there is possibility of serious
complications with other nations.

News from Charleston Is to the ef-
feet that the lobbyists are there in

It's pity that these professional cor

Legislature is in session.
