The "Mass Convention"

A large and enthusiastic mass
meeting of the Republicans. of
Preston, the old banner Republican
county, was held last week, and,
despite his own protests supple
mented by Governor Dawson, both
of whom were present, the conven-
ton insisted that ex- Cover nor Albert
White be a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor
IN 1908. Governor Dawson tired
to dissuade them from their pur-
pose, insisting that the demand
upon MIR. White would. mean very
great personal sacrifice, should he
decide to comply. but they were
fixed In their determination and
they now promise to issue through
a committee Of Que hundred Preston
county citizens, representing every
district in the county, an address to
the Republicans of the state asking
for Mr.. Whites nomination. Yves

We have been the least bit sus-
picious all along that some one
would magnify the "spontaLeous'
little conference which was held in
the office of Prosecuting Attorney
Pierce into a "mass convention.
A conference of seventeen poll
ticians and offics-holders may be
considered ''mass convention" in
Lewis county, but over here in

entered a mild "proles" when the
"mass meeting" grew warm as each
recounted how they proposed to
continue the governors in office in

ton have just as keen an appetite
for the public Offices as they have
in any other part of the state.
The only mistake we think they
made IS not announcing the "com-
mittee Of leading citizens from all
over the county" at one thousand

not, although their methods OF doing

Now for the other side of the case.
The law distinctly says that should
any clerk or county court fail or re-
fuse to perform the duties required
by this section, he or every member
OF such court shall be guilty of a
mIsdemeanor.

Publication of Financial Statement of Preston
County Farce.
THE LAW is DELIBERATELY VIOLATED
Taxpayers Have Right Know Where Their Money Goes Who Gets
and tor What Purpose.Duty OF Prosecuting Attorney,
What Have They 10 Conceal7

On another page of this issue we
publish the alleged financial state
ment of Preston county. In the ac-
count as rendered we defy any one
TO form an ineligible opinion of
where the money was spent, who got
it, and for what purpose. We do
not accuse the county court of graft,
but the methods they are pursuing
in giving the taxpayers this alleged
statement is the same as was used in
the statehouse steal at Harrisburg,
Pa, where over six million dollars
OF the peoples money was absolute
ly stolen.
Why not give the people a com.
plete, itemized statement of how
their money was spent, as the law
contemplated
The law says the statement must
be itemized. Here is sample item
Amount paid for support of prison
ers and for coal, s773.3o. Isn't that
plain1 You know to a penny just
how much it cost TO maintain pris
oners in the county Jail. And the
coal item is as clear as mud. How
much coal did we use, anyway
Another item says that the sum of
SI,o57.7o was spent for printing and
stationery. Was it1 We would really
like to know how much of this was
spent for printing and who got it.
Also the amount of stationery, and
fol- what purpose.
The statement as published is no
statement at all, according to the
law. The law distinctly says that
the county court shall cause to be
published an ltemizcd account of the
receipts and expenditures of the
county during the previous fiscal
year by separate items, giving name
of person TO whom order is issued

MONSTER SNAKE STORY
Commissioner Messenger Stays the
Daddy Of Them All.
DISAPPEARANCE MYSTERY CLEAREI
Fate Of Numerous Spring chicksns-T
Negro Not Guilty Dimensions
Of the Monster.

Edmund Messenger, member OF
the county court from K.ngwood
district, and whose veracity is be-
yond question, killed blacksnake
recently that measured more than I 2
feet in length. There were no eye
witnesses to the slaughter.
While working near the Henshaw
bridge, which vas washed away by
the recent food, he noticed a large
black stick standing upright by the
bank OF the stream, but on closer
investigation it was seen to move,
and he then made the startling dis
covery that it was a big blacksnake
reared up on its tiptoes, so to speak,
To the height of 6 or feet. Mr..
Messenger seized a rail from a
nearby fence and with herculean
strength he squashed Mr.. Snake to
the earth. After bringing HIM down
to the ground he had no trouble dis
posing of the reptile, a few we'll di.
rected blows stopping its career OF
crime.
For several years spring chickens
and such like dehcacies have been
missing from nearby farm yards
and our colored brethren have had
the eye OF suspicion turned their
way. But now that the monster
is slain our Afro Americans can
breathe more freely. Not that any
one would accuse them of stealing
chickens. Far fromit. e.
1t is even reported that pigs and
such like domestic pets have been
heard to wall out in anguish at un-
heard OF hours, but this must be a
mistake, as snakes do not like pork
TO give the readers some idea of
the size of the snake slain, we would
say that it was more than three
times as long as the county's fnan-
clal statement, published in this
issue.

LAST ROLL CALL.
Veteran Answers Summons TO the
Great BEYOND.

Jesse M. Johnson was born June
9, 1870; died July IS, 1907, aged 81
years, I month, and IL days. When
the civil war broke out he was one
among the first to answer his coun-
try's call. He enlisted in Company
G, Third West Virginia Volunteer
Infantry, which was organized at
Pleasant Valley, near Masoniown,
this county.
Some time in March, 1904, while
on scouting expedition in the vi
cinity OF Greenspring Run he was
captured and taken TO Andersonville
and placed in prison, where he en-
dured the hardships of prison life
for five months. AZ a soldier he
was brave and always ready to obey
his superior officers. When shot and
shell were flying thick and comrades
falling by his side he was always
found at his post.
Among the hard tough: battles in
which he took an active part were
Bull Pasture Mountain, Cross Keys,
Slaughter Mountain, sixteen days
fighting on the Rspldan and Kappa
hammock rivers, two days battle at
Bull Run, and numerous other en-
gagements. These battles were all
fought at great sacrifice Of life.
Comrade Johnson was engaged in
another great warfare, fighting the
battles of life; but his life work is
done ami he has anchored in the
haven of rest. The writer stood by
his bedside a short time before his
spirit took It's fight tn the great be-
yond. He never murmured or COM
planned, but seemed reconciIed TO
the Masters will.
Funeral services were held at the
Bethlehem church on Saturday, July
20, 1907, conducted by his pastor,
Rev. T. ]. Kendall, of the U. B.
church, of which the deceased was

Judge Mason Declines.

1t is said that Judge John w.
Mason, of Fairmont, has declined
the use of his name as a guberna.
torial candidate. Some say that the
Spontaneous movement" in this
town had something to do with
the declinatioD Of the eminent iurist.
Judge Mason is SAID to be quite
strong among the rank and file OF
the Republican party ia this county.
We have heard his name mentioned
frequently and favorably by those
Republicans who are not welded 20
the party organization. 1t happens,
however, II reports are true, that
the organization is the one that ap.
proves and disspproves the candi-
dates for Preston. They control the
political machinery aud designate
those who may he sent as delegates
to the various conventions. 1t is
quite probable that Judge Mason is
acquainted with this phase of the
Republican politics of Preston.
The declination of Judge Mason
leaves the field open to State Tax
Commissioners A. b. White, Secre
tary of State Charles w. Swisher.
and State Auditor Arnold c. Scherr
Those acquainted with the situation
claim there IS pronounced senti-
ment In Preston for all three of the
office holders. At the present time
they say it is difficult to predict
which one Of the trio will be able
to crystalline the sentiment so as 10
get a solid delegation from The
county. If the county committee
will leave the selection of delegates
TO each district it as said that neither
of the candidates can get a solid
delegation. IL, on the other hand,
the committee decides on a county
convention 1t is pretty certain that
the delegation will go 20 White.
The contest is going to be a lively
one and will be watched with much
interest. 1t is going to he a contest
in which "harmony" will play no
part. Armed with the necessary
weapon it will be a case of crack
the head of the opposition whenever
it bobs up in forbidden territory.
The ARGUS hopes to be able to
chronicle the contest as it progresses,
for it feels that it is something which
the people feel keenly interested in .
rs it is no funeral of ours we shall
be in position to give the events
as they transpire.
