week sold SO hogs, weighing 1850
lbs., an average Of 1924 lbs. each, for

feed goes to keep the hog warm in
stead of making flesh and muscle.

The Hon. John ]. Hetzel, the great
Berkeley county disturber and the
implacable enemy of Senator Elkins,
is again cutting up. He seems de-
termined to carry out his alleged
threat to defeat the two Republican
nominees in Berkeley county and thus
lessen the Senator's chances for re-
election. E. @. Henshaw, we'll
known Republican politician of Berke.
ley county and a deputy internal rev.
enue collector at the Hannis distillery
in Martinsburg, has been forced to
resign as a member of the State and
Congressional committees by orders
from the department at Washington,
which has a rule that government en-
ployees shall not serve on political
committees. Mr.. Henshaw declares
that Mr.. Hetzel reported him to the
department, and he isn't in very
loving frame of mind towards that
gentleman. In the Republican coun-
ty convention on Saturday Mr.. Het-
eel tried to defeat resolutions en-.
dorsing Senator Elkins, but he didn't
succeed. 1t is truly painful to see
this war among our Republican neigh
bors. Yet we are not crying over it.
