Campbell Pancake, who came over
from Cumberland, stated to the Re-
view that the last Of the peaches shi p
ped by the Allegheny Orchard Gem
pany had gone into market but At that
time they had % car loads that were
unsold, some Of these being still on the
road, not having arrived at their des-
tination. These peaches were princi-
pally shipped in refrigerator cars and
therefore KEEP: we'll. The company lost
quite large quantity, as stated before
by the early freeze and the high winds.
Most Of those at the Paw Paw Orchard
of the Company were saved by the
prompt and vigorous efforts Of Harry
w. Miller, who has charge Of that
large orchard. The first day Of the
cold weather warned him that q freeze
was coming, 30 he secured large force
and picked 5000 baskets in a single
afternoon, hauled them into Paw Paw
aud those that he could not load into
cars he stored under tents. In this
manner they were saved from freezing,
only few of those that w ere 80 stored
being lost.-Romney Review.

CiarSsburg, Oct. 24.--The Express
companies doing business In West vir-
ginia can handle whiskey over their
lines without interference of state
courts is the text OF decision HANDED
down by Judge Nathan Goif, of the
United States Circuit Court, here to-
day. In his decision Judge Gofr re-
versed decision Of Judge A. G. Day
ton, and incidentally gave that iurist
slap as to the authority Of the judi
ciary TO enter into the moral side OF the
question and beside the reversed de-
risions made by many circuit Judges
of the state. The matter is ono of grea I
Importance and returns the situation
to the condition it was in before the a, :
itatiop, stirr>d up several years ago, re-
sulting in the State Legislature passing
certain restricting laws which Judge
Golf says are not valid.
The decision was in the case OF T. Q
Crescent Liquor Company aad others
against the United States Express
Company. 1t was charged by the Cres-
cent people that the express company
refused to receive consignments Of G.
@. y, and open whiskey from its house
here. In his decision which covers Is
typewriter pages. Judge Golf claims
that as long as the whiskey traffic 10
regarded aslegal 1t was an unjust dis
elimination to prevent II being hand
led &c other commodities are handled.
He claims that express companies are
common carriers and to give them tn q
power to discriminate against cert ain
classes OF consignments is giving them
the privilege Of selecting the class of
merchandise which they are TO handle.
Judge Golf takes slap at Judge Day
ton when he says that II Is not the du-
ties of the Judiciary to go into the NOR
al side OF the question, for, as long as
the whiskey business is legal, it is not
up to the courts TO bring question Of
morals into any decision in the mat
ter.
Judge Gof claims that the action of
the Legislature in passing laws max
ing II illegal for express companies to
handle 9. o. ID. packa ge- of liquor In
West Virginia is Illegal and the laws
are not valid because no state has the
power to pass laws that will superscdc
the laws governing the commerce of
the country.
The decision is one of the most inn
portant Of the year. Exchange.

An English writer in London new.
spaper article, that there was a myst.
cry surrounding the death Of George
Washington, about which Americans
hesitate to talk. Commenting upon
this statement the Utica New York;
Observer says: "George Washington
caught cold when riding over his plan
tation at Mount Vernon on the after.
noon on December IL, 1899. Forty
eight hours later he died. He was at.
tended by three Of the best physicians
OF that part Of the country. He was
bled no less than three times to relieve
sore throat, and he was dosed with cal
omel enough to deprive healthy man
Of his life. But what il the mystery?
Enlightened physicians freque ntly
assert that General Washington was
killed, that he was bled to death and
poisoned with calomel. Tobias Lear,
his secretary, says that after the doctor
had bled him to the extent OF half a
pint Washington interrupted with the
remark: The cash is not big enough;
make 1t wider. And the highly train
ed professional idiot proceeded to do SO
Does your throat feel any better?' ask
ed the learned leech. It's very sore,
murmured Washington tried to stay
his murdefcus hand by protesting that
the general was too old man tolstand
much bleeding. Yes, yes, said the
mighty doctor No. 2, I'll be cautious in
blood-letting. And then he proceeded
straig hit to rob his country'a father Of
LIES most precious fluid. When the
third physician had come he rolled his
eyes solemnly and said: / will bleed
him. we both tried that. said the
other doctors. Yes, know annou-
need the consulting sage, but if blood
letting does not relieve him | must in
crease the dose Of calomel. After the
third bleeding-in which we are not
surprised to learn that Washington .
arm yielded it's lIfefluid more slo WY
than.it had before-the sore throat
continued, In spite Of the last consult
ing doctor, and when his wearied body
failed to respond to heroic overdose
Of calomel the two consulting physic-
ians retired and left Washington to
die. Is there any mystery in his
death?

Henry A. Blackwell, distinguished
j republican of Massachusetts,, recently
! registered an eloquent protest against
republican tariff. Mr.. Blackwell said.
"0ur coal tax is felt in every house
hold; our lumber tax means higher
rents and poorer accommodations Ii is
harder to live than ever before, al
though our imports and exports are
| greater, and we are told that the coun-
try is prosperous and that we should
let well enough alone. But this pros
perlty is more apparent Than real, be-
cause the proceeds of our industries are
not fairly distributed. A few thousand
stockholders in over protected corpora
tions get the lion's share. Let me ask
you, gentlemen, who are present, a
simple question. How many of you are
richer than you were last year? How
many of you have been able to lay by
any thing for your old age? How May
of you see before you any prospect of
improved condition? Not one ia fifty.
Why? because we are all subje i TO
great monopoiies, which by trade
agreements have eliminated domestic
competition, and by y, 45 per cent tar
i'll these monopolies are enabled to
charge consumers an advance Of 50 per
cent upon almost everything that we
consume.
sour coal duty adds dollar a ton
to our fuel bill; our lumber tax raises
our rents; our tariff on textile fabrics
increases the cost Of our clothing; our
tax on sugar doubles its cost Of inpor-
tation.
I'm order to keep up these excessive
rates Of duty, our government spends
lavishiy, so That its outlay now amount
to $1,000, 100000 annually. The Drap-
ers and Whitman's have patents ami
protection on their products approxi-
mating and exceeding 100 per cent.
The iron and steel trust gets profit
OF from 100 to l5O per cent. Steel rails
which Mr.. Schwab says can be made
without loss at $l2a ton were sold
week before last to the Panama com.
mission for S29.50 f. 0. b. at Baltimore
| equivalent to $4,000 at the isthmusl.
while recent sale was made to for
eign customer forS24 ton delivered at
Iampico. No wonder the cost of living
has advanced AZ IL per cent! 1t will
GO higher. All depends on the tariff.
Raise 1t 70 per cent and prices will go
up ~ per cent. Lower ii 20 per cent and
prices will fall 20 per cent. The exac-
tions made by the trusts are all paid
by the labor of the country. In the in
terests Of the consumer we call for tar
III revision. In the interests Of manu-
facturer, operator and consumer alike,
we need free importation Of raw mate
rails. Many of our raw materials come
free already. Let Us add to them coal
iron ore, lumber, hides and wood pulp,
Let us reduce our tariff on Canadian
products 20 per cent and thereby en-
able ourneighbors to buy more Of our
manufactured goods"

is READY TO BUILD
A PLANT FOR CITY.
Company Asks Franchise of
Americas.
1T INCLUDES STREET RAILWAY
Franchise Asked for Lighting City
and Pumping Water for Twenty
Years. Railway Franchise for Sew.
snty-Five Years Wanted.

| Americus now has proposition fol
the establishment of an electric light
ing plant, power plant and electric
railway, provided the city council will
grant the franchises demanded and
award certain contracts for street
lighting and pumping water.
This is the first and only proposition
relative to an electric street railway
that has been made the city of Ameri.
Gus in recent years, and it will be given
careful consideration.
The proposition comes from Mr..
Joseph NJ. Roman of Atlanta, and his
associates.
Mr.. Roman appeared before the city
council last night and in an address of
some length set forth the terms upon
which he and his associates would IN.
dertake the establishment Of this en-
terprise, which the people seem to
desire.
The proposition is to erect the light
ing and power plant, pump water
electrically for the city and supply arc
lights, the latter on twenty years
contract at SIS per light.
The franchise for the street railway,
it ia Understood, must bs for seventy
five years.
Mr.. Roman went much into the de-
tail regarding his proposition and the
benefits to accrue to the city therefrom.
After hearing from him at length the
entire subject was referred to commit-
tee for investigation and an early re-
port to council.
The proposition will be looked into
carefully, and upon the report of the
committee, If favorable, the full details
will be given the public, And il it be
to the advantage of the city to accept
the same, the voters will be given an
opportunity to say SO.
At present the city is paying $G5 per
light and gets good service.
But the pumping feature and railway
proposition may be more interesting,
and If so, and Americus wants it upon
an advantageous basis, the voters will
say SO. CopncU will investigate the
matter and let the people determine it.
A full report will be made by the
com mittee ct the next meeting OF the
city council.
