THE TOWN OF CRELlIN
And the Railroad Built From II
Through the Mountains.

from TUESDAY evening Grafton Re
publican the following interesting arti-
Gle relative to Crellin and the Kendall
lumber interests is clipped:
The editor returned last evening from
Crellin, Md, where he spent a few days
very enjoyably with relatives. after a
season of pretty hard work at his desk.
and where he found considerable relief
from ills following overwork. Crellin
is about two miles from Hutton, and
five miles from Oakland, Nd, located
on the waters Of Youghioghenv. Here
has been established one of the largest
and most important lumber plants that
may be found in Maryland or in the sec
ton Of West Virginia bordering on that
state. The plant was established some
fifteen years ago. 1t was at first own
ed by the Preston Lumber Company,
but was purchased some years ago by
the big Kendall I.U Der Company. who
have many mills in Maryland, Oregon
and other states, and whose headquar-
tiers are at fittsburg The lumber
plant that was first erected at Crellin
was destroyed by fire some years ago.
and larger and better plant, substan-
italy built and containing all the mod
ern Improvements known to lumber mill
plants, was erected in its place. The
Kendall Company has been busy
throughout the entire past season Of
dUllness, and the works have been shut
down not at all. The mills at Crellin
are equipped with model mill machinery
and recent acquisition is the steam
log-loader, by which three men, oper-
ating huge machine, do the work Of
ten or twelve in loading the mammoth
logs on cars all along the several
branches of standard-guage railroad
that has been built by the company and
which reaches out in all directions over
the surrounding country.
While the plant itself and the town Of
CrelIin is located n Maryland. t is so

GOES TO VOTERS
WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Probate Judge Nomination Almost Cinch For Hugh H
Hart of St. Clair
POPULAR VERDICT: GRAHAM HAS HAD ENOUGH
Third TermEleven Years--Doesnt Look Good TO People
Hart Has Qualifications and Big Lead
(Ffsm ,he Madn. Ci.y lScw0

, The fact that Mr.. Hart is just
as well qualified for tho judgeship as
Mr. Graham. because Of his long daily
service in the Office as probate regis
ter and consequent familiarity with
all estates in process of probate as
we'll as his thorough knowledge of all
points in probate law. Judge Graham
can boast no greater qualifications.
3. The fact that third termism in
the county Offices is exceedingly OBJ
noxious to st. Clair county voters.
The length Of Office of judge of pro-
bate Is four years, twice the length
of time served by a sheriff, county
clerk, prosecuting attorney or regis
ter of deeds. Mr.. Graham has been
twice elected to The Office and while
his first election was 10 fill vacancy yet
the fact IS he will have served seven
full years in the Office A few years
ago Mr.. Graham was strenuously OBJ
jecting to the then prosecuting attor-
ney having nomination for third
term, even when he had not served
four full years, and now that he de-
mands a third nomination for a four
year Office, the politicians in Port HUI
ron hold in fragrant memory his atti-
tude of four years ago.
4. The fact that Hugh IT, Hart is
eminently qualified to hold the high
Office of Judge of Probate. Studied in
the probate law, trained by eight
years OF service in the probate Office
Of judicial mind, and possessed Of
rood common sense-no one has yet
had the temerity in this campaign to
oven suggest his lack of qualification
for the Office sought.
5. The fact that Republican county
politicians and voters generally like
to see a square deal and in the de-
mand of Judge Graham for perpetual
tion in Office they fail to see the
"squareness" OF it, or any necessity
for such perpetuation, especially in
view of the we'll known attitude of
Judge Graham in times past toward
aspirants for third nominations.
1t is evident this contest will go to
the voters on its merits on Tuesday,
Sept. /, primary day.

With tho primary election only one
week from next Tuesday, chief inter
est in the county campaign is cen
tered in the contest for the nomina-
ton for judge of probate in whicn
III. III. Hart is now an acknowledged
leader. In spite OF the claims of the
friends of Judge Graham that he
would have the support of the organ
izatiOn leaders, it is now fully appar-
ent to every observing man that the
leaders have kept their hands off, and
this contest goes to the Republican
voters of the county unprejudiced by
the suggestions of any of the organ.
ization leaders. In short, Judge Gra-
ham is upon his own political re-
sources, the same as Is Hugh, II.
Hart, his opponent.
Much comment has been made upon
the loss of the organization support
TO Mr.. Graham, but it Is conceded that
the loss was due to the fact that the
Republican leaders preferred to keep
faith with Mr.. Hart, rather than up
set the tacit agreement Of several
years standing, for no better purpose
than to perpetuate in Office Mr.. Gra-
ham. who has already been twice
elected to a four-year office and will
have served seven years on January
1st next.
So It seems that in this contest as
in all the others for county nomlna-
tions, each candidate will be reduced
to his own political strength. This is
as it should be, and augurs we'll for
the success of the primary system.
All over the county are heard evi-
dences of the high esteem in which
Hugh II. Hart is held by the voters,
and II Is even declared that in Port
Huron Mr.. Hart will have a majority
vote over Mr.. Graham.
This state OF affairs is politically
startling. 1t is due to several facts:
1. The fact that Judge Graham
four years ago in convention told the
delegates that the nomination then
given him would be all he would ask.
Republican voters believe he should
stand by his own declarations.

FOOT BALL.

It's nearly time for football again.
This year Yale will be i'm line with the
fastest aggregation of players it ever
had. With the weight Of Ferguson,
star tackle of the intercollegiate last
year, Lothian, Lane, Evans, fullback
on Alma's team in 1905, Spencer, White,
Holden, Meade, backed up by Sayles,
right half on Almas team last year,
Menzies, Baxter, Adams, Blackford,
and Ormsby, this will be combination
that will make them all go some. In
all probability a meeting will be called
for i'm the near future to choose a cap
tain and a manager to arrange for a
schedule of games.
Wanted-A few lady boarders.

More BloOded Stock for Tennessee.

When one realizes that since 1860 the
value of Tennessee live stock, which
was then about $50, 600, 900, has increas-
ed only about SO, 900, 900, while the val
ue in each of such states as Illinois, In
diana and Missouri has gone up to
something like 100000, 900, a person
sits up and looks for reason.
These states of the middle west got
their start with stock from Kentucky
and Tennessee and the fact that the
southern states were subjected to the
ravages of war does not entirely explain
the situation-the standstill. Such
states as Illinois have progressed with
first-grade live stock because for many
years they have had good state fairs
and the people have patronized them
literally.
The increase OF interest in such mat
ters has been wonderful in Tennessee
since the establishment of the state fair
at Nashville three years ago. There is
every reason to believe that each year
the value of live stock will continue to
increase in proportion as the people of
Tennessee attend and take an intelli-
gent interest in the state fair.

William Carrying Away Williams Planks
TO Theodore.

Kindly study the cartoon on this
page. 1t was furnished The CONNER
cial-Appeal by the New York Herald.
The cartoonist is not friendly to Mr..
Bryan. He shows Little Billie Bryan
crying, aud Little Billie Taft carrying
off his planks to little bridge which
Theodore, the Hot Stuff Boy " of the
neighbood, is making.
In Mr.. Taft's address of acceptance,
he recovered the republican platform
with planks from the Denver document
Mr., Roosevelt controlled the republi-
can convention in the selection of a
candidate for president, but the reac-
tionaries controlled the carpenter work
of the republican platform.
Mr.. Roosevelt favored a plank that
would curb the arbitrary power now ex-
ercised by courts against labor, aud
sometimes litigants who are not labor
ers.
Mr.. Roosevelt also favored a physical
valuation of railroad property and 9th.
or corporations doing interstate bust
ness.
Indeed, the Denver platform comes
nearer to Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas than
the Chicago platform.
In his speech at Cincinnati then, Mr..
Taft began to appropriate Mr.. Bryan s
planks. In that speech Mr.. Taft
had much to say about his personal
views. Personally, he favored an in
come tax. Personally, he favored a
direct vote for United States senator's.
Personally, he favored a liberal con-
struction Of the law as to iniunctions.
Mr.. Taft attempted to remark the re-
publican platform, and in remaking it,
he stole Bryan's planks.
But Mr. Taft must give those planks
back to Mr.. Bryan. Platforms are not
made by individuals, but by parties.
lnAt Mr.. Ia1t tavors planks In the
democratic platform, which are not in
corporsted in the republican platform,
is an argument against Mr.. Taft's cleo
tion.
When Mr.. Taft is elected, he will
Estand on the republican platform. MIR.
Taft is trying to run on MIR. Bryan s
platform.
Mr.. Bryan's platform is made both
for him to run on and to hold Office on.
There is room on it only for Mr.. Bry.
an. Mr.. Taft is too heavy.
Let Mr.. Taft stand or fall on what
those who nominated him say should
be the ruling force in this government.

THE ELECTION.

For the first time since directly after
the war, so long ago few can remember
the occurrence, Washington county
has really gone democratic. We do
not mean that democrat was elected,
but all democrats were elected. Not
only did we elect trustee, sheriff and
tax assessor, but the supreme judge
and two judges for the court of civil
appeals also carried the county. If
that is not o clean sweep we would like
to know why. And the people voted
some, as you will see by examining the
official table in this issue. The election
did not go by default by any means.
II. G. Jackson, the old reliable trustee,
is beginning his fifth term and has
many more in store for him. Ed Ro-
gan, one of the best men in the county,
was elected tax assessor for four years
W. f. Jones, plain American citizen
and one of the best fellows and demo-
Gratis you ever met, was elected sheriff.
These gentlemen will make good Off
GERS and prove that no mistake was
made in their election. We are not
gloating over our friends, the enemy,
but are simply stating facts.

" Home Rulers " Wing of
Republicanism Hold
Forth at Chatta.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 1O.-The
convention of the republicans of Ten
nessee, designated as the Home Rul-
ers, at 4 o'clock this afternoon nomi-
mated the following ticket:
For Governor Asbury Wright, of
Rock
For Railroad Commissioner A.
Raht, of Tullahoma.
The convention was called to order
by John G. Houk, of Knoxville, one of
the leaders of the so-called insurgents
The convention at once got down to
business, and the following temporary
officers were chosen:
Capt. W. p. Chamberlain, Knoxville,
chairman.
W. D. Kenner, Rogersville, secretary.
William Barker, Columbia, and ". o.
Smith, Knoxville, assistant secretaries.
Charles NJ. Ball, Chattanooga, SER
geant-at-arms.
When organization was perfected,
Col. W. Gettys was the perfect chair
man and the convention at once showed
its determination to waste no time in
unnecessary talk, and it was but q
short time until the call of districts
was reached for the nomination of can
didates
All were for Asbury Wright, and he
was nominated by acclamation. Mr..
Wright had declined to be the nominee
unless the platform contained a plank
favoring state wide prohibition. II
was anticipated that there would be q
fight and probably bolt as a result Of
this plank, but no friction developed,
the platform being adopted unanimous.
Iy. Following is the plank on prohi-
bition:
"The sale of intoxicating liquors as 8
beverage is injurious to the public
health, destructive of the public morals
and productive of crime.
"Ihe temperance legislation in this
state began with the four-mile law in
1887.
cts provisions have been extended
from time to time until now it protects
every section of the state from the open
saloon except four places. 1t has al
ways been supported by the represen
tatives of the republican party in the
legislature. We are in favor of state
wide prohibition by the extension Of
the provisions of this four mile law tC
every portion of the state by our mex
legislature.
"We are also in favor OF such legisla
ton by our state and general govern
nent as will protect the people livine
in dry territory from what is known al
the jug trade"
The utmost harmony prevailed anG
the end of the convention came with
surprising suddenness. Adjournment
was taken at $50 p. m.

Ohio, it all depends upon whether For
aker is willing to lie down and be
trampled upon. Taft's carrying the
state means his political ruin. Wheth-
or he is willing to submit or not do
not know.
"Ohio is normally a republicau state,
just as Kentucky is normally demo
cratic state. believe Indiana is surely
democratic, and have strong hopes of
Nebraska. As to the middle west there
is immense dissatisfaction with the re-
publican party and it will show itself
in votes. am looking for the ground
swell we had in 1892"
BUSINESS BOOM FICTITIOUS.
"Will the republican party be able to
work the business scare as they did in
1896 and 1902"
ut will work the other way this
year. The republicans are trying to
make fictitious boom, and / think be-
fore election it will collapse and the
dinner pail will be empty. They began
too early and [ think they are oyerdo-
ing it"
"What effect upon Bryan will the in
dependence party have?"
II don't believe that when they come
to stand up and be counted there will
be many of them. The proprietary
brand is too conspicuous, too plain. l
don't believe the aboring man is going
to throw away his vote on that party. l
don't believe it will get any more votes
than the Palmer and Buckner ticket
got in 1896.
'Take all of these sideshow parties,
like the prohibitionists, the socialists
and the Hearst league and average
them up, they cut into the two big
parties evenly. They will take away
about as many votes from one party as
from the other"
"Wop't Mr. Bryan's free silver record
and the fact that he has been twice
beaten injure his chances?"
whatever free silver was or was not
as an economic issue, it is no longer
here to divide us. Those who contended
for it, right or wrong, as to the fiscal
proposition, thought they were fighting
for the masses against the classes, and
against the same old money devil we
had all fought under the leadership OF
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Tilden. That
question out of the way, what is there
to divide us? Nothing upon the face Of
the contention except the personality
of Mr.. Bryan.
" Having been twice beaten, he car
never be elected, says Sir Oracle.
Having been twice beaten, he can new
er be elected, shrieks the republican
press. Having been twice beaten, he
can never be elected, echoes the I'M
thinking democrat. Yet it is this twice
beaten candidate whom the rank anG
file of democrats cling to and the re-
publican leaders and newspapers mos
savagely abuse.
"Why? In my opinion it is because
there is in the people a discerning in
stinct and in Mr.. Bryan a rejecting
spirit which make for mutual trustful
ness, each turning to the other. The
republican leaders and newspaper
J know this and they dread it. They art
, supremacy confident, and yet they
: largely rely upon the bluff they arr
/ playing upon our ciedulity and COW
ardice.
"There is no doubt whatever tina
Mr.. Bryan was the overwhelming
choice of the democrats of the west anC
south. There is no doubt either tina
} he will poll more votes than any othel
, democrat whom it was possible to nom
mate could have polled."
