James R. Hissom of Wheeling,
was guest of the Hotel Mercer
over Sunday. Mr.. Hissom owns a
farm which is situated on the
river hill two miles northwest OF
this city, that has proved to be
one of the best oil producing
properties in this immediate oil
field. There has been 20 wells
drilled on the tract, 20 OF which
are still producing, the monthly
production at the present time
being 1900 barrels. The first well
was completed in 1898, at which
time oil was only worth about 30
cents per barrel. The first oil
Mr.. Hissom sold from his land
was about Christmas, 1898. He
disposed of 1000 barrels at 80
cents a barrel, and the day fol
lowing oil advanced a few cents.
Had he held off one more day to
dispose of his oil he would have
realized $500 more than he did.
In the tract of land in question
there are 200 acres, but shortly
after Mr.. Hissom marketed the

HiSSOm Farm Has Produced
$I.OOO,OOO Worth of Oil

1000 barrels of oil he invested
$500 in a tract of land adjoining
the home farm, which proved gilt
edge oil territory. After a few
wells were drilled on this tract
he disposed of the land and oil at
a snug profit of $4,000. Mr.. His
som has certainly been a very for
tunate man, and his old home
farm has developed remarkable
staying qualities. In fact, it is
the banner oil producing tract of
land in this section OF the old
Sistersville oil field today, and
has produced to date 81 100000
worth of oil. Previous to the oil
excitement Mr.. Hissom followed
the vocation Of farming, toiling
industriously from early morn un'
til late at night. He is now TAX

Startling, But True.

People the world over were
Mortified on learning of the burn
ing of a Chicago theater in which
nearly six hundred people lost
their lives, yet more than five
times this number, or over 5000
people, died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year,
with scarcely a passing notice.
Every one of these cases Of pneu-
monia resulted from a cold and
could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. A great many
who have had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded it
off by the prompt use of this
remedy. The following is an in
stance of this sort: "Too much
cannot be said in favor Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and es-
pecially for colds and influenza.

Laura of a severe cold, and l be-
lieve saved her life when she was

Negroes on Street Cars.

BALTIMORE, MD, August /, 1905.
EDITORS Please permit me to make statement
and then ask few questions in reference 10 our
colored friends-better known as wards OF the na-
ton, or "colored gentlemen and ladies"
Boarding a street car, yesterday, with the seats,
two upon each side, and middle aisle, the car was
empty except for three seats. in which there were
colored men. At intervals seven more entered,
when there were ten separate benches occupied.
each by q negro. Without exception each was
ragged, filthy, covered with mud, grease. plaster
and perspiraiion and besides in their shirt sleeves
some smoking pipes as odorous as themselves
This is 1.-THE statement" now for the questions.
Why is it that one negro will not sit upon the
same bench with another?
Why is it that when Clearly negreSs has bench
TO herself that the negro man will squat himself
down by a white woman. Why IS it that dirty
negress invariably prefers to herself by white
man, or woman upon these two-seated benches,
than by either sex Of their own color
Is not there prearranged determination among
these negroes to force themselves upon white PEG
pie, and especially white women
Does not such conduct upon the part Of negroes
do much to insure the adoption Of the much dis
cussed amendment to disfraachise them Docs not
such conduct demonstrate that they should be,
since it shows them unkt for the rights OF suffrage
In the case Of the car ! refer TO, several white
women entered. and not being able to get a seat
except by one OF these filthy negroes, had 70 stand
up land another gentleman surrendered our seats,
while there ten seats vacant upon ten benches
should not the railroad company eudeavor in some
way to make these negroes double up
Another habit Of the negro is 30 change from the
seat he occupied to every other one in car as soon
as vacated, thus dirtying and sinking them up
This certainly demonstrates the necessity Of Jim
Crow law in this city for the protection Of our
wives, sisters and daughters. How would IL DO 70
have white voters nteTrogase the nominees for the

The Democratic Ticket.

Three weeks ago, in speaking of primaries
and convention, The ADVOCATE said:
while. at all times, the men of the best
capacity should be placed upon the ticket, the
situation this year demands that the very best
men be nominated who will consent to serve
The personnel of the Legislative nominees
should engage the attention OF Democrats.
Men of good capacity and high personal stand
ing should be chosen-men whose qnalitica-
tons will not be questioned and whose char
acters are unassailable.
The Democratic convention last Monday
very fully met the demands of the situation
and placed before the people ticket OF high
capacity and excellent personnel. In fitness
and character the nominees are strong, and
are entitled TO the earnest support of every
Democrat, and every taxpayer, who is inter
ested more in good government and low tax
alton than in the mere elevation of individuals
to public positions.
The candidates all answer to the Jefferson
ian test-"Is he capable; is he honest?' The
excellent government in the State and in Car
roll can be finthered and maintained by the
election of the whole ticket. The declaration
of the convention, which will be found in the
proceedings published on another page, con
tains some reference to the efficiency of the
State and local governments, and some strik-
ing contrasts of affairs under present and
former control. Taxpayers should carefully
note that part of the conventions deliverance,
and then consider whether good, stable, eff
cient and progressive government should be
disturbed.
