few tell!nE blows in the direction OF
the West Virginia newspapers which
think that publishing false statements,
on q man will hurt his candidacy for
Office: In fact, during the heat offa
campaign, even damaging truth doesn't:
hurt much. while falsehoods are mora
likely to help his cause. The Repub-
lican thinks the attacks on Hon. Chas.
w. Swisher have gone too far, as tile
following language shows:
2lNewspnpersI That are averse to the
Subernatorial aspirations OF Hon.
Charles Wesley Swisher ought to ut
least tell the truth. Swisher has been
made the subject OF considerable cold
bloodetl lying ever since he first an
nounce.l his candidacy. Most fair.
minded readers know these lies when
they see them. however. and possibly
the newspapers that have been the
most bitter In their dennnciation OF
the candidate are really the mediums
that IRE doing him most good. When
It comes to reward for service per-
formed. we recommend to Governor
swisher those newspapers that have
said the worst things about him.

Beer i'm Sugar Barrels,

We hear of six kegs of beer
that were shipped in sugar bar
rels to Keytesville Tuesday.
We know where they were un.
loaded, and it is very probably
that the grand jury at the No
vember term of circuit court will
make full investigation. If the
parties are found guilty of VIC
lating the local option law the
COURIER hopes they will be civ.
en- the maximum punishment
a fine of $500 and six months in
the county Jail.
Local option was adopted in
Charlton county the 18th of last
March, and "17" is going to be
a mighty unluoky number for
