There have been some recent news
paper criticisms of Mr.. G.G. Donaldson.
who has branch Photographic studio IN
this place, which we fear may be rather
unwarranted. Mr.. Donaldson is the
proprietor of frst-class gallery in a
prominent locality on F street in Wash
ington City, and we understand is well
and favorablyknown. He has had liberal
advertising contracts with the SPIRIT OF
JEFFERSON. has paid his bills on presen-
tation, and as far as our business inter-
course with him goes he has proven a
correct and reliable man.

A movement is on foot to establish an
other important industry in Charles
Town-a telephone pin factory that will
turn out from eight to ten thousand pins
per day A charter has been applied for,
arrangements made for the lease of lot
on the north side of the B. & O. railroad
from Mr.. Geo. B. Goetz, and Contractor
H. P. Cline will erect the building for
use of the company. A Census Bureau
report shows that there are 8, 400, 900 tel
ephones in the United States, with near
ly 6,ooo, 600. 900 calls a year. 1t may
therefore be readily seen that the above
mentioned industry is large one, with
rapidly increasing demands, and this
local enterprise is quite likely to prove
a paying thing to the investors therein.

We take occasion, the first issue after
its appearance, to copy into our paper
the announcement of Editor Robert c.
Rissler. of the Advocate. as candidate
for reelection as a member of the Town

Der of that body, and if reelected will
doubtless serve with the same fidelity
that he has in the past.

Some effort has been made through
Republican channels to sour Morgan
county Democrats on account of Nor
gan county man not having been put
forward for Democratic nominee for
State Senator. 1t certainly has been no
fault of Jefferson county Democ rats that
1t has not BEEN done here. Our primary
ticket was open to all on the same con-
dltions, and many Democrats here have
gwen open expression to their opinion
that Morgan county was probably enti-
tied to the nomination. and would have
cheerfully voted for Morgan county
man. AS it was there were none but
Berkeley county candidates offered. and
with us down here it was "Hobson's
choice. as far as the county questio n
was concerned

to the good you can possibly derive from them.
