it spent s37, $50 81 or 50. 06460 more
than the law allowed it TO levy for,
according to his own figures.

His statement that s954.00 was spent

smallpox in 1912.
His statement that S1.147.l9 was
expended in 1866 for printing, etc,

In sending a solid d~elegation to
Keyser for Hon. George 9. Sturgiss.
Berkeley county will make no mis-
take. The reason is obvious. No
man should receive thu nomination
for congress who is not mentally cap-
able to represent this district in every
particular. He should be a man OF
wide experit noe, a man who possesses
strong intellectual faculties, and one
who is constantly ON the alert for the
best interest of the people Mr.. Stur
giss is the very embodiment of these
characteristics. should he be nomina-
ted, (ahout which there can be no
doubt. he will be elected by n large
majority, and his presence in congress
will reflect the greatest credit upon
this district. He stands intellectually
with Hon. w. b. Hubbard, the nomi-
nee for congress in the First district.
and with two such brilliant men no
state in the Union can boast of ADLER
representatives.
The las decade las been extremely
remarkable for the development of
this state. aud today West Virginia is
a hive of industry. Along with her
rapid rise in the business world strong
men have pushed their way to the
front by close application TO duty
which has given them wide promi-
nence as energetic, successful men. In
this connection it would be hard to
mention a man who has surpassed Mr..
Sturgiss. Having won the confidence
OF his host of clients. having been the
choice of his party for numerous posi-
tions. among them the candidate for

aud better fitted to exercise the duties
which would necessarily deyolve upon
him in his official capacity.
Aside from his peculiar fitness for
the place, we sincerity believe that his
nomination would do more to bring
about a better feeling politically in
this district than any other man we
can think of. The Dawson-Teter
element (if there be SUCH can har-
moniouslv unite on his eandidlov,
and no man we can safely say will
ever suffer at the hands of Mr.. Sur
giss solely because of political differ
ences in the past. Does not his ability
coupled with his aptitude for bring
ing the party closely together make
him the most fitting candidate? With
so many reasons pointing towards Mr..
Sturgiss as the only real and logical
candidate. Berkeley County should
congratulate itself on electing a solid
delegation for him-the man Of the

s. COMMUNICATION.

The article in the last issue of the
Herald, signed Examiner" called at
tenion to what he considers errors in
the article published in the Herald
recently. He intimates thatthe balance
II the hands of Ex-Sherif Smith was
intentionally omitted bit this is a mis-
take as it was Az oversight on the part
of the writer. We cannot understand
how, after calling attention to the
omission he could unintentionaly omit
the balance ink Sheriff Stuckey's
hands which wasspent by the court this
year By correcting the oversight the
amounts are changed, but not the re.
suit, namely, that the court spent much
more money last year than the republic
can court did in l9Ul.02. Based upon
his own calculations after the balance
in Sheriff Smiths hands, the result
shows the present court spent 3d.
1893. 81 more than the former court in
the year named.
The gentleman says that the settle
ment of Nav, 1908, should be taken
instead of May, 1902. Why? We do
not think so, because the democratic
court took charge in January, 1903, OF
that year and spent the money from
that tim on, increasing the expendi-
t8res over 1902 by 81, 255. 50 as will
appear in the following quotation
from Examiners article Although

Further than this Mr.. Oloott would

The Biographical sketches of the in
dividual members of the Mayall Stock
Company make interesting read
ing. Many suspicious, as to
this actor or that actress,
have been either confirmed or denied.
For instance, who suspected that Her
schel Mayall narrowly escaped the
prosaic calling of a lawyer in which
he could never have fired the matinee
heart? That the blue blood of Ken
lucky runs through his veins and that
he began his dramatic career in Du-
luth-where the grain cargoes of Da-
kota are shipped in "whaleback'
steamers. But, the information which
lifts the vaporous clouds from signing
maidens is the information that Mayall
Is single. This simple--or sngle-an-
nouncement should increase the May
all matinee stock something like one
hundred per cent. Surely it was a
press agent inspiration.

man in Zion will deny that Miss Ellis
mere is beautiful-an oriental type
OF brunette beauty la Maxine al
