the paint in suspension, but the

Of carbolic acid or some other disin-

held blamable for its results, as
throughout that entire campaign the
orders to all skirmishers and pickets
were to fire at everything coming
from the front without challenge.
This fact is known to every man
who took an active part in these OPP
erations. Jackson was a stickler for
the ethics of obedience, and had he
got safely through the lines without
volley, the hapless officer in charge
would have received a prompt invita-

Do not overlook the necessity Of
varying the ration of the work horse.
There are farmers who feed their
horses 10 to II ears Of corn three
times day, together with prairie
hay and pasturage, and the horse
seems to do fairly well, but the horse
requires a balanced ration as does
the man himself, or the dairy COW.
Unless the horse gets liberal pasture
he will not obtain sufficient muscle
and bone producing feed. The horse
should have some bran, oats and
alfalfa hay. These are the common
feeds of the farm from which the
horse can be supplied with bone and
muscle. These will also add palata-
bility, which is thing worthy of
consideration.-Far Advocate.

HOW "JOHHY GOT SOME
BLANKETS.

ly related Dy FedefaI:
"Once we were camped in the
mountains of East Tennessee. [
didn' know it could be so cold down
South till I tried it for myself. One
bitter night | was on picket duty
away off from camp, down in the
edge of some woods and close beside
a little creek. I was tramping along
through the snow, kicking my feet
and beating my hands together try
ing to keep warm, when l heard
voice somewhere off on the other side
Of the creek calling softly: 'Yank!
Yank!'
''I knew the enemy was in camp
not far away, so I raised my gun in
an instant; but the voice called
again: Don't shoot, Yank! I'm all
alone, and I don't mean any harm
=" who are you, then, and what
do you want?' [ asked as quietly as
I could
" I'm a Johnny said the voice
again, and I want to see if you can't
spare me a blanket.
+" 'You are crazy said [. I'D be
shot if they caught me giving you
a blanket
" There's no need for you to get
shot, said Johnny, and I'm bout to
freeze, picketing out here in the
snow. My uniforms nothing but
rags, and I haven't got any overcoat
or blanket or anything. Blankets are
scarce over in our camp, and it's
awful cold, Yank.'
"He said it solemnly in that soft
voice of his (the Southerners have a
soft, easy way of talking), and
we'll, the upshot Of it was that I
promised him I would bring blanket
with me when [ came back the next
night and leave it to him to get it.
Next night when went to saddle up
(our picket line was so far from
camp that we had to ride) got half
a dozen blankets out Of the commits
sary and put them under my saddle,
and was just about to get away with
them when the sergeant spied me.
Hello, there!' said he. what you

"My heart was in my mouth; but
I knew he couldn't see how many [
really did have, and so [ answered
back cool enough: you don't sup
pose it's warm out there picketing a
night like this, do you?' And with
that he turned away. I tell you I
was glad to see his back!
"Well, I got safe out to the woods
with my blankets, and pretty soon I
heard the same voice calling again :
'Yank, Yank, have you got that
blanket?'
" 'Yes,' I said. Il have six of
them, and I came near getting caught,

MOTHER-LOVE.
BY l.. e. Ramsey.

(For The Weekly Jeffersonian.)
When God by his word created the
earth
And the glittering worlds to shine
above,
The first tender feeling which in
Eden had birth
Was abiding and enduring Mother
love.
My children may wander away and
and forget
The many sweet things learned at
Mothers knee,
But my blessings and prayers will fol-
low them yet,
Though they no longer cherish me.
My form is bowed by the weight of
years;
With grief and regret [ am almost
wild,
My eyes grown dim by age and tears,
And my heart is aching for love
the while.
For my children's love, oh, God, I
pray!
Roll back the scroll Of darksome
years
And bring to me again one glad,
sweet day,
Ere life had known such torturing
To my empty arms bring my baby
girls,
Let me see once more each dear,
sweet face,
While each loving arm around me
curls,
To clasp dear mamma in tender
embrace.
To this distant past memory often
glides
And rests on long ago treasured
toy,
On a lovely doll, Lady Alice's pride,
Or dear little lamb, Baby Emma s
joy.
All, those were sweet and happy
years!
Because | had then my children's
love,
And taught them oft, with hopes and
fears,
The love of God, their true Friend
above.
I shall crave their love- till life be
spent,
For them blessings entreat from
loves great fount,
For the love of mother, God-like
and God-sent,

Huntington Herald in four short edi.

situation:

like the same thing in Cabell.

The Democrats recently nominated
a governor but that fact does moi

centered in the election Of Mr.
swisher.

McDermott Answers.

Hon. Joseph H. McDermott, presi-
dent Of the senate. and Republican
nomine for presidential elector, is
eminently correct and within his leg
al rights when he declares in the Nor
gantown Republican of Sunday that
he win not permit his name to be
printed on the boiling or independent
ticket, says the Charleston Mail.
Senator McDermott gives most
comprehensive and scathing review
Of the Scherr-Grant Teter-McIntosh
conspiracy to rule or ruin the Repub-
lican party in West Virginia, along
with his expressed determination NOT
to permit the use OF his name, and 1t
Is complete answer to the criticism
of the opposition press, upon the
question Of his refusal to be voted
for upon two tickets. The fact that
Hon. j. K. Hall, who was named for
auditor on the conspiracy ticket, de-
clined to permit the use OF his name /;
that John T. Harris for secretary OF
state rejected the bait, and that c.
L. Topping refused to join the pir-
ates, and their wishes were obeyed,
makes the determination of the
president of the senate formidable in
the premises. Well informed per-
sons believe Senator McDermott is
right, and II all the Republican pres
idential electors would follow his
example 1t would speedily put an end
to the conspiracy, now growing weak

cry detail.
Active in the PRONUNCIATION OF par
~ principles and Advancement of the
peoples welfare, Senator Darst the
last campaign was most effective in
tax reform and equal taxation, and
those who thought he would now let
his name be used to defeat and de
stroy that work were sadly mistaken.
The Republican platform is his and
the nominees OF the party are his
nominees. He stands out brayely
and squarely for both.
Harrison county Is especially close
to Senator Darst as he made speech
after speech in this county four years
ago advocating ably the election OF
Governor Dawson and presenting the
tax question In a manner that made
his auditors believe that the big tax
payers should be made to pay their
share of the taxes the same as the
little ones we're doing. Senator
Darst helped the party greatly in
this county in that campaign, and
this county is proud OF the fact that
he stands out true to his party. This
viii not be forgotten at the fallaelec-
ion and Senator Darst may count on
carrying Harrison county by an i'm
mense majority.

city Friday, looking after his inter-
ests in the campaign. Mr. Coftman
lis a very strong candidate, and will
represent the 18th district in the
state senate, as he should, consider
ed from Republican standpoint.
The reasons for this assertion are
various and logical First, the dec
laration of the Democrats, in their
platform, favoring the stringent
measures against a certain class of
voters, demands Republican House
and Senate to perpetuate the policies
that all men are free and equal and
should have vote, on the grounds,
that taxation should carry represen-
tation.
I'VE have In Lewis county prosper
Gus men who would be disfranchised
by such legislation. As a result of
this many people would be without a
voice in state and national affairs, al
though they be large property owners
and pay much taxes. Nor does II
stop here. During the incoming SEN
ator's term of Office, a United States
senator is to be elected, to succeed
Mr.. Scott. His election will affect
national legislation, and to that ex-
tent In case OF Democratic House
and Senate. would detract from the

Senator Darst Declines.

John Sherman Darst's refusal to
run on the Scherr ticket for auditor
means much. Senator Darst is a
loyal and active Republican. one OF
wide influence in the state and his
decliration of the Scherr nomination
will greatly weaken the Scherr move
ment, as Scherr himself and his fol-
lowers must admit. In truth, it
sounds the death knell to Scherr-
ism and party disloyalty as'thereby
represented.
The offer was made to Mr. Darst
by the Scherr committee for the ex-
press purpose of weakening the
Swisher ticket and strengthening the
Scherr ticket. In fact, it was made
in the hope OF rescuing the Scherr
ticket from the doom 1t is so rapidly
these days approaching. The Scher.'
committee sought to steal the Darst
influence and following from the reg
ulaT Republican ticket and wanted to
use him in its piracy. Readily, Mr..
Darst saw through their scheme and
his party loyalty rebelled against
such ignomy He soon saw the de-
sign against him personally to make
him stand before the people as one
who lightly regarded his solemn
pledges and who broke them at will
or within.
Senator Darst all are glad to re
iterate is true blue Republican,
who has the welfare OF the party up
permost always. He is immensely
popular with the people, of whom he
is typical representative. He Is
conscientious and influential party
worker. Above all his public SER
vice has ever been of the highest or
der and scrupulously honest in ev-

The Good Rands Party.

The farmer who is appealed to by
the Democrats in the present cam
paign for votes for Louey Bennett
should bear in mind the fact that the
Democrats of the state care nothing
for good roads. That is manifested
by the failure OF the Democrats to
touch that important subject in their
state platform. Not a word about
good roads, the improvement of ex-
listing roads or the making Of new
ones, can be found in that conglom-
Grafton of words and phrases that
were heaped together by the Demo-
Gratis in convention at Charleston
The Republican party of West vir-
ginia favors a comprehensive plan OF
building good roads," says the Re-
publican state platform, "a plan that
will secure to the people dollars
worth of benefit for each dollar ex-
pended" There is no slde-stepping
about that. The Republican party
looks to the welfare OF the farmer as
well as the people engaged in other
vocations and is not perverted to the
interests Of clique OF politicians.

As to the Liquor Question.

Tt should not be forgotten or over
looked that the Republican party of
West Virginia favors the passage OF
state local option law and also the
submission to a vote of the people OF
an amendment to the constitution
prohibiting the liquor traffic. The
Republican party so declares itself
in the state platform that was adopt
ed at Charleston. and in words and
phrases that are not ambiguous. I'M
certain, or misleading. The Demo-
cratic platform practically ignores
those questions. The only thing con-
tanned in the Democratic platform is
an approval of the Bill of Rights Of
the state nstitution-organic laws
that are In full force-and a con-
domination Of legislature for "fail-
ing to consider" petition of a num-
her of citizens for the submission OF
prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution. The words in the Demo-
cratic platform are utterly meaning
less, being only few phrases srtung
together for the purpose of trying to
fool the people into the belief that
the Democrats favor a local option
law and constitutional amendment
vote. Such efforts on the part of the
Democrats are an Insult to the intel
ligence of citizens. Nevertheless the
question OF the two leading parties In
the state upon these questions should
not be overlooked.

American and Germnn Forests.


American forests, according to the
experts OF the Department OF Agri-
culture, are capable of yielding more
wood to the acre, II we'll handled,
than the noted forests of Germany,
many Of which net their owners from
$3.50 to 5000 or more per acre an
nually. Not only are our native for
ests richer in valuable timber trees,
but our climate and soil conditions
are more favorable. The trouble is
not that our trees do not grow fast
enough, but that our ignorance and
carelessness have left our woodlands
poorly stocked.
The German forester sees to 1t that
his forest is uniform and dense. To
grow full crop of wood, as to grow
a full crop of grass or corn, there
must be full stand. Next in i'm
portance is the rate of growth OF the
trees. The species most grown
abroad are Norway spruce, Scotch
pine, and silver Ar for soft woods,
and beech and oak for hardwoods. In
German forests OF the first quality,
Norway spruce attains in 6Oiyears
an average OF "a inches.

How about the stuffed ballot boxes

OF the tickets before the votes were
