1t is somewhat both OF regret and sur
prise that. we find the Shepherdstown
Register throwing cold water upon the
proposition to erect bridge or bridges
over the Shenandoah river in this coun-
ty. The Register, OF course, solicits the
patronage of the people of the entire
county-east as we'll as west, south as
well as north-and surely it would not
say that the people of the entire length
of the county along both sides of the
Shenandoah river. from Harpers Ferry
to the Clarke line. should not have at
least one bridge over which to have safe
and convenient intercourse with other
parts of the county. No other newspa-
per in ths county has had the termerity
to oppose this movement. and we take it
that the Register, which has one of the
finest public institutions in the State at
its door, will show itself too much inter-
ested in the public need to tilt any more
of the frigid fluid upon an enterprise
which must enure directly to the bene-
fit of large section of our county. Tin
which it has doubtless many patrons
and indirectly to ALL

The fall meeting of Winchester Pres
bytery was held in Keyser. w. Va. last
week. Rev. James A. Mcclure was re-
leased from the pastorate Of Front Royal
Church IN order to accept call to the
First Presbyterian Church of Buena

The Home Mission work of the Pres

many years.
A new field is to be made from the
grouping of Kearneysville. Bunker Hill
and Tuscarora together. and place new
pastor in charge of the work. He will
also have SmithfieId Church under his
care and will probably reside either there
or at Bunker Hill

Charles Town also invited the Pres
bytery to convene here. but the pleasure
of the country congregation had great
er influence over the clergymen and their
lot was cast there.

Mrs. A. S. Green. who is the Presi-
dent of the Pokahontas Bell Association,
a volunteer cooperative body under the
sanction of the Governor of Virginia and
the President of the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton. attended the meeting of the U. d.
c Convention held in Charles Town last
week. Mrs Green being charter men,
Der of this patriotic body of women, re-
who nerved the arms of the gallant men
who won valor, if not victory. to have
a home at Jamestown. Mrs. McSherry.
the capable President of the West Vn-
gina Division. at once responded to
Mrs Green's suggestion as to the impor-
lance of taking speedy action to raise
funds tor this purpose. Resolutions for
this object were unanimously passed.
giving Mrs McSherry power to appoint
committee of Daughters and Sons to
begin this work. The Pokahontas Bell
Association was formed that all women
who were anxious to aid in the success
of Vir9inia's Tercentennial might have
an opportunity to do something for
Jamestown. There being patriotic wom-
en- ali over the United States who are not
enrolled as members of any patriotic
As. ociation. but who are entitled to be.
this Pokahontas Bell Association lets in,
for individual or cooperative effort. those
women who have not allied themselves
with any other organization. Many who
have learned of this opportunity through
out the country have gladly responded
and awaited themselves of this chance to
honor and add to the attractive features
Of the great Tercentennial.

Hon. B. H. Oxley, of Charleston in
this State. has been granted concession
by the Governors of the jamestown Ex-
position to construct and maintain on the
grounds of the Exposition. an old Vir-
ginia water mill. and in connection with
the mill or corn cracker" a hot corn
cake restaurant for the purpose of serv-
ing corn cakes made from the meal
ground by the mill, during the entire sew
en- months time the Exposition will be in
progress. The power for the mill will be
supplied by an old-fashioned overshot wa
ter wheel, and as it is learned a most ex-
cellent location has been selected for the
mill. it will, no doubt. be one of the fea-
lures of the Exposition.

The Tariff on Wheat.

The prices of trust and tariff protected
products is still advancing while the price
of our farm products, especial y wheat is
declining. Now wheat. like iron and
steel and most everything else is taxed in
the tariff schedules but the protection
theory seems to work to the disadvantage
of the wheat producer. What he buys
cost more and more. what he sells is cheap
er. The reason for this shows the fallacy
and unJustness of the protective system.
for it plumbers the farmer for the benefit
of few trusts and combines, that are
enabled by the tariff to raise the price
of their products, TO just below the point
where similar foreign products could be
imported and pay the tariff tax and be
ducts. The wheat farmer has no such
opportunity to increase the price of the
wheat he raises. He is compelled to take
the price that the wheat buyer offers, or
keep it in his granary or store it in the
elevators. both of which is costly. The
price of wheat varies according to the
amount that is raised and the surplus for
sale in the markets of the world. Every
country that raises more wheat than its
people can use must export that surplus
to England and those European countries
that do not raise wheat enough to support
their own people. The price OF wheat is
therefore fixed by the law OF surplus and
demand. With good crops everywhere
the price of wheat is low, with poor crops
the price is high. 1t has happened III the
past few years that the wheat crop in
other countries other than the United
States. has been short and the crop here
either good or moderately SO and there
has therefore been greater demand for
American wheat and high price paid
for it. This year there has been bump
er crop here and a fair crop elsewhere
and the price has declined. The absurd
ity OF the Republican claim that the
tariff of 25c bushel on wheat and the
thrift on corn and oats protectst the farmer
is apparent. But the fact that the farmer
hast pay more for all he gets. because
the tariff prevents free competition. must
be still more apparent when the bills are
paid. Is it not extraordinary that some
farmers vote the Republican ticket and
thus perpetuate protectionism that takes
from them without making like return?

THE clansman. by ThorHis 81 Jr..
will play return engagement AZ the
Academy Of Music, Baltimore. beginning
Monday night Oct. I. for one week with
Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The
phenomenal success of this remarkable
play last season was such that it is
generally referred to as the most talked
of play during the past forty years. Deal
ing as it does with probably the most
dramatic period in American history, it
is permeated with an emotional interest
which carries its appeal to both North
and South, and it has been witnessed
with almost frantic enthusiasm in all of
the large cities of both sections. Whether
the spectator agrees or disagrees with the
authors views on the negro question has
no influence on the enjoyment OF the play
as play. Every auditor is held firmly
in the grip of the thrilling situations
founded on the facts of history. Although
the scenes are laid in South Carolina
there is not one line of sectionalism in
the play. not one word to show preju-
dice against the North. Rather the re-
verse is true. for the heroine, who dis
closes all of the most admirable qualities
of noblest womanhood, is Northern girl.
1t is undeniably true that Mr.. Dixon's
play presents the race problem in power
full manner. and his conviction that his
message to the North on this question
would meet with. careful thought and
consideration has been justified by the
reception OF the play and by the enormous
sale of his novels. 1.-The Leopard Spots"
and 1.-The Clansman" upon which the
drama is founded. The era depicted is
that OF Reconstruction in the South, when
the members of the Ku Klux Kan wrest-
ed the government of the Southern States
from the illiterate negroes and the rapa-
cious Carpetbaggers. The mysterious
Klau is shown upon the stage. its habits
and ceremonial revealed.in picturesque
and awe-Inspiring manner. Thro' the
drama runs the thread of delightful
loye story between a gallant Southern
cavalier and a beautiful daughter of the
North, and the whole is frightened by
bounteous supply of genuine, old-fash-
ioned darkey fun. The many advance
orders received for seats indicate record
breakino rim of s.The Clancman" durinu
this engagement at the Academy. and out
of town patrons are strongly advised to
order their tickets well in advance. there
by obtaining better locations and avoid
ing the discomfort of having to stand in
line the night of their arrival at the
theatre and possibly lose something of
the play. Following the engagement in
Baltimore. 1.-The Clansman' will be seen
in Washington for one week. beginning
October 9Th, at the Columbia Theatre.
