NEW VOTING PRE-
clNcT AT BUXTON.

Albia.-At a meeting Of the board Of
supervisors the past week they estab-
lished a new voting precinct at Bux-
ton. The resolution that was passed
reads that all the property lying south
Of the center of Sixth street be known
as precinct No. 2 and that which lies
north Of the center Of Sixth street be
known sprecinct No. /. The vote at
Buxton Is so large that the men cannot
get to the precinct voting place before
the time for closing of the poles. The
judges and clerks were not able to care
for the large number who cared to
vote and with the condition as former
ly there would be many men at the
coming primaries who would not get
the chance of suffrage. The polls do
not remain open the same length OF
time as at general election and it
was absolutely necessary to establish
the new precinct to care for the people
of that place. 81
The residence which was recently
occupied By DR.. Burke Powell has been
torn down and is being moved to the
lots owned by DR.. Powell on South
Main street. Two building will be
erected from the old structure and they
will be rented. The corner from where
the old house was taken will later be
improved.
Mrs. G. S. Frogley, wife of Mr..
second hand store on Wall street in
this city for several years, has insti-
tuted proceedings for divorce from
that gentleman and the troubles Of
the family have reached such a stage
that the place of business has been
closed pending an adjustment Of their
affairs. Mrs. Frogley states in her
guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment
toward her, has failed to provide the
necessaries of life and has treated her
in such manner that she fears to live
with him longer lest it shall impair
her health. She asks for a both tenn
| porary and permanent alimony.
Dee w. johnson and little son came
and have been spending the day with
relatives and friends. Mr.. Johnson
| was formerly in the drug business in
Abba and left here and went to Des
Moines and located.
District court is grinding away at q
| very satisfactory pace in this city this
week, and the docket Is being cleared
OF some cases that have been hanging
over from term to term. The grand
| jury has been very active and has re-
turned three indictm ents, two of the
| cases being for attempted murder
while the other was for larceny. Henry
Smith, the colored man who was ar
rested by the Ottumwa police a couple
of weeks ago and against whom the
charge Of larceny had been preferred
was indicted by the grand jury and
stands good show of getting another
term in the penitentary from this
county. He, has already served one
term at FIT. Madison, having been sent
up from this county for larceny.
Three divorce cases were settled yes
terday, the plaintiff in each case be-
ing given decree from which he had

organization does not recognize
fusion and will mot give heed to any
suggestion OF 1t. True, however,
that organization may. and may moi
bring some sort OF pressure to bear
on the new party but there will be
none brought by it ON the regular
ticket, as the regularity would itself
prohibit any thing Of that kind. Be
sides. the national Organization would
not be In position to interfere, were
1t SO inclined, though 1t is not con-
coded that any such inclination exists
ON its part.
On this feature of the situation the
Charleston Mail very appropriately
says:
"As matter of course, the next
president of the United States Is in
terested in the vote in this state. He
wants the vote of West Virginia and
will get It. But what can he expect
from persons who are not true to
their party at home? II they cannot
have their way about everything, is
1t not to be supposed that they will
play him falsely?
at Is true that there will be con-
ference of national and state leaders
at Hot Springs next week. State
Chairman Matthews will no doubt be
there as he should be. Swisher will
likely be In attendance. But 1t will
not be for the purpose OF getting
Swisher to withdraw. 1t will he
rather for organization of the work
of the coming campaign. The
Scherr boilers show this. but their
only hope lies In the spreading of
false reports.
"Since the convention sw!sher has
gone ahead with his campaign and
will continue to do so. He knows
that the real Republicans are with.
him and the rest of the ticket.
Though the fight being made against
him by men claiming to be of his
own party might reduce his majority
somewhat. he will still have votes
enough to assure him q term in the
chair.
cit is not up to Swisher to make
nominated and is making his fight
like n man. Scherr claims to be a
Republican. but shows that he has
lost the spirit by enjoying the sea
breezes while his dlsgruntled follow
ers continue to spread their malici-
Gus falsehoods. All that the regular
Republican party can do Is to go
ahead with the campaign and ignore
the boilers. And the rank and file
of the party feel just that way
about it."

A Sensible KEYNOTE.

Wyndham R. Meredith, OF Rich
mond. Va, president OF the Virginia
State Bar Association. in an inter-
view this week declaring himself for
William H. Taft for president strikes
the sensible keynote. when he says:
Il have never voted for Mr..
Bryan. and 4 shall not vote for him
this year. There are two threaten
ing dangers in the country. The one
is plutocratic Cannonism and the
other is radical Organism; therefore
there is no Democratic ticket to vote.
Judge Taft stands for the enforce
ment of the Roosevelt policies, most.
II not all, OF which have had the
hearty approval OF all thinking men
In the South, as we'll as in every 9TH
er section of the country. and he will
enforce them within the law and not
outside the constitutional govern
ment, as has been charged against
the President by his enemies"
The attitude OF Mr.. Meredith is
that OF many Democrats. who stand
Tor tie welfare of the country rather
than for the success of political
party. which really does not want
Bryan but did not have the courage
in conventions to select delegates who
would vote against him and thus
eradicate the socialistic tendencies OF
portion OF the Democratic party.
\ This prominent attorney appears to
understand clearly the character OF
! AiS. Taft and the policies he stands

Pre,lict Defeat

In discussing the negro disfran-
chisement and Jim Crow planks in
the platform before the convention
the party leaders freely predicted
that to adopt these planks would
mean the defeat of the party at the
November election. and begged the
delegates not to vote for them. Some
of the remarks follow:
Joe Chiffon:
You can't carry this state this fall
with those planks.
Don't make 1t impossible to carry
the state.
Do you think the Republicans are
fools?
You will bring the Republicans to-
gether.
We are doing that which will run
the Republicans together and beat
US.
Don't do that which will weld the
white Republicans together and make
1t impossible to elect the ticket.
1t is almost suicidal.
Col. w. E. Chiffon:
What will Bryan say when he
hears that we have made 1t impossi-
BILE for him to carry Illinois, Indi-
ana and Ohio?
Have you forgotten that there is 4
provision of the constitution OF the
United States forbidding this?
am not asking anything for my
self. i will never be after an official
position.
You can't do it. and it will simply
result in defeating us.
kanawha county Is 5000 Repub-
lican. but gave Cornewell 600 major
ity. Ifsyo pass this that hope IS
gone forever.
You will defeat Bryan.
Are you sorry that Charleston
went Democratic?
C. w. Osenton:
warn you not to pass this.
believe 1t Is dangerous.
1t will hurt Bryan in Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.
Men who are bowling down good
Democrats who never voted for Bry-
an Captain Page had just spoken
for the planks).
fear you make mistake.
Col. John. T. McGraw.
fear you will make 1t Impossible
IL you adopt those planks.
Ex-Governor MacCorkle.
fear you will make 1t impossible
to elect the ticket If you adopt
them.
Don't remove all hope of carrying
Kanawha county and the city OF
Charleston.

Dear Sir: Not one man in ten

or not, when he paints. It depends
on the paint.
With one paint your job will take
10 gallons and cost $50 for paint
and labor;
with another 12 and costs60
with another IA and cost 10
with another 16 and cost so
with another is and cost 90
with another 90 and cost 100
with another 90 and cost 10
Here's an example. Prof. Irvine,
of the Academy. Miercersburg, Pa.
painted the floors of his dormitories
every year, one year with one paint.
next year with the paint of the other
dealer there TO divide the business
between them-till Devoe Game to
town.
The job took 80 gallons. takes GO
Devoe. The difference. 80 gallons.
$3.50. He didn't know he was losing
$3.50 a year till he got Devoe.
Another example. When Geo. w.

scherr,s Real B 9,

Strong hints have been thrown out
in this campaign that the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company is interest
ed in the Parkersburg Dispatch-News.
and Ex-Governor White in q card in
the Wheeling Intelligencer confirms
the hints. Mr.. White says that when
the Dispatch and the News CONSOLE
dated three years ago $4,000 OF the
money was furnished by the Bahi-
more &. Ohio and the Western Mary
land railroad interests. He says
Hugh Bond for the Baltimore & Ohio
put up $4,000 and the Western
Maryland $4,000.
The point at issue has been who
owned that newspaper. for the reason
that 1t has been and Is one OF Arnold
c. Scherr's hackers. and. now 1t hav-
ing been confirmed that the railroad
has some control, some interest in 1t,
the cause OF Arnold G. Scherr does
not appeal to the people, but is in
fact that of the big railroad corpora
ton. This fully accounts for the
support he gets from the Dispatch
News and is real eye-opener as to
what course Scherr would pursue, II
elected governor. Railroad assess
ments would then go down and the
two-cent fare would be wiped OF the
statute books. These two things are
amply sufficient to turn the people
against Scharrs and thfs nannla no
