Many Letters Urging President TO Again

Washington, May 4 THAT be.
tween three and four hundred
letters are received daily at the
White House urging President
Roosevelt to run again, is assert
ed on good authority. These let
ters come from all parts of the
country, it Is SAID, from members
of all political parties, and IN
them various arguments are used
oy the writer's to induce Mr..
Roosevelt to again accept a NOM
nation.
The letters have increased 10
volume in the last few weeks aLd
some of them are SAID to be al
most tragic in their earnestness.
The writers argue that the PcesI-
dent is in the thick of his cam.
paign for the establishment of
complete government control ov
er interstate commerce and 9th.
er reforms; that 1t is impossible
to transfer this work successful
ly to another since Mr.. RoOse-
velt's personality Is a personal
factor In achieving this success;
that the publican party can
not afford to nominate any man
who is not sure of election; and
that the President is the only Re-
publican who would be certain to
defeat any other candidate. In
all of his replies to such letters
the President simply reminds his
correspondents of his former
declarations on the subject, and
reiterates that his position is un-
changed.

TUESDAYS CONVENTION.
County Superintendent B. c. Lamberson
Elected TO Serve During the
Next Three Years.
SALARY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Fifty-one of the seventy two
school directors of this county
assem- bled at the Court House
Tuesday afternoon, aud 1T took
them just half an hour to organ
i've, elect county superintend-
ent, name the amount of salary
he should receive, aud be ready
for a motion for adjournment.
P.of. B. Q. Lam berson, the
present incumbent, was appoint
ed one year ago TO fill the unex-
pired term of the late Chas. K.
Barton, and so satisfactory has
been his work, that no one
thought it worth while to spend
any time in trying to keep him
from succeedl, G himself at this
election.
The fact that there was only
one candidate in the field, and the
weather unpleasant for a long
trip to the County Seat, led many
directors to remain at home.
The convention was organized
by making S. w. Cline, of Dub
lin president of the convention,
and L Ii. While, of McConnells-
burg, secretary.
Mr.. Lam berson was placed in
nomination by E. H. Kirk, Of Tay.
lor.
Owing to the fact that whatev-
er salary is voted to the County
Superintendent IN excess OF one
:, thousand dollars a year, comes
off the County, 1T was decided on
vote of 20 to 80 that the salary
be one thousand, and thus the
State would pay it all.
M. w. Mace, of McConnells burg
and w. e Snyder, of Tod, were
appointed to escort the candidate
elect into the room, when Mr..
Lamberson made very nice 1T
tie thanking the directors
for their cordial support, asking
them for their hearty co apera'
ton In carrying on the work dur
ing the coming three years, and
pledglng himself to give his en-
tire time to the discharge Of the
duties of his Office to the best of
his ability.

The Crop Outlook.

Henry Clews, the New York
banker, whose facilities for keep
ing IN close touch with the crop
and general financial condition of
the country, are as good as any
other man, says: "Perhaps the
most encouraging feature atpres-
ent is the crop outlook. The sea-
son isfully two weeks earlier than
last year, and weather conditions
have been particularly favorable
for cultlvating aud planting No
damage has been reported from
the late cool spell except to fruits.
Reports as to winter wheat are
exceedingly fiatterlng, conditions
appearing to be considerably bet.
ter than at this time last year.
Cotton is also doing well, and ad.
vices thus far received indicate
no decrease IN acreage. Good
crops this year will accomplish
more than anything else toward
restoring business to normal vol
ume and prosperity. Prices of
all agricultural products are high
and yield a good profit to the
grower. With chances, there
fore. that there will be a good de
mand during the coming year for
everything which our farmers
can grow, there is every prospect
for very profitable year for the
agricultural classes.
In this county, wheat came
through the winter in splendid
shape, and with the grass has a
fine start. The wet weather of
the last few days has been
against the corn in the ground,
but, the season is early yet, and
the chances for large yield as
a large acreage is good.

That Spelling School.
vate strear

The spelling school at the Court
House last Thursday evening was
grand success, and those who
were present are indebted to
MISS Gertrude Hoke for reviving
the old custom. 1t took some of
us back IN recollection to the days
when weattended spelling schools
in the old log school house IN the
rural districts, where the "cap-
tains" secured first choice of the
spoilers by tossing up the rod
that the master kept to punish
unruly boys. In those"good old
days" everybody spelt-old folks
and Young folks-married and
single. And they could spell,
too. They did not fall down on
such easy words as "domicile. "
The first match last Thursday
night was between twenty two of
Miss Hoke's pupils and the same
number of volunteers from the
audience. Two hundred and six
ty words were pronounced, and
the school side won.
A second match" was had by
Miss Hoke and Miss Cook choos.
ing sides. Most of those who
spelled IN this contest were per-
sons not directly connected with
scnools--lawyers, preachers,
printers, bankers, and others.
OF course, words we're mis- spell
ed, and that furnished fun for
those who had too bad cold to
enter the class.
l., II. While, Mrs. s. M. Cook,
and Frank Henry we're about the
last to become tired of the game.
Altogether very pleasant eve.
ming was spent, and 1t is hoped
that somebody will go ahead and
arrange for another soon.
