Cucumbers at 10 cents each are amazing
to all who have been buying them two
and three for cents of late. This ad-
vance is caused by the exhaustion of the
supply which was over abundant last
week. Green peppers are cheaper, selling
three for 10 cents now. Wax and and string
beans sell for and 10 cents pound, ac-
cordng to quality, and asparagus sells
three punches for 10 cents. All the fresh
green stuff is cheap now New potatoes
sell for S5 and 10 cents a peck. California
Cauliflower is beginning to come in, but
the heads are small and sell for Is cents
each.

AT Indianapolis on Tuesday there
was great Democratic celebration,
when John w. Kern was officially
notified of his nomination as Vice
President. Mr.. Kern made an able
speech, in which he replied to Mr..
Sherman's assertion that the people do
rule. He declared that the people do
not rule, because the Republican lead
ership in Congress will not let them.
Mr.. Bryan made strong speech. most
of which was upon the subject OF trusts,
and he made point after point against
the corporations. He brought down
the house when he said: cit 10 impos-
sible for the Republican party to en-
force the present criminal law against
trust officials these officials are init
mately connected with the Republican
party in the present campaign"
The Indiana Democrats are full of
enthusiasm and will make determin-
ed effort to carry that State, Mr..
Bryan was greeted by thousands
wherever he stopped, and it was sig
nifcant that the heads of all the prin.
cipal labor organizations have prom
ised him their support.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the on
ly positive cu,e now known to the med
ical fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease, requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure IS
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

ALTHOUGH most persons believe that
eventually the Scherr ticket will be
retired, there is as yet no sign Of heal
ing the breach between the Republi-
can factions in this State. Indeed,
even if Scherr should withdraw now,
comparatively few of his friends and
supporters would vote for Swisher,
for their objections to the latter from
a personal and political standpoint
have only been accumulated by the
way in which he is bullying all those
who dare to oppose him.
Chairman Z. NJ. Grant. of the Scherr
faction, stated on Monday that there
was absolutely no hope of sdjusting the
differences, and he further announced
that the Lincoln party would begin al
active campaign againt the re. election
Of Senator Elkins and Senator Scott.
The Scherr people have it in for Sen
ator Elkins because he is taking such
an active part for the Swisher ticket,
and they swear that they will have
his scalp.

The action Of the Baltimore Sun in
selling itself to the Republicans is
deeply resented throughout this Sec
ton and it will lose many thousands
of subscribers in the valley. A news
dealer in Shepherdstown informs US
that the Sun is being dropped by
nearly all of its readers here, and the
same thing is true of other places. At
Charles Town the Democratic club rec
ommends that the Sun be dropped,
and the Democratic county conven-
ton of Berkeley county passed res
olutions conl mining the paper and
requesting Democrats to discontinue
their subscriptions. Many farmers
have quit it and others will do so as
their subscriptions expire. Many are
taking the Philadelphia Record in it's
place.
1t is not so hard 10 give up the Sun
now, for it has deteriorste1 so greatly
in the past few years that it is no
longer regarded as q Grst-class journal.
1t is usually from day to a week
behind with the news, and it is 30 dull
in it's general makeup and 80 stupidity
conducted editorially that few persons
care for it,
The Sun began to lose caste some
months ago, when it sold out to the
liquor people. A great many of its
readers objected to its flaming adVer-
tisements of beer and whiskey, its
cheap cartoons and its ill-favored ed
itorials advocating the saloon business.
That newspaper making pretensions
to ordinary Responsibility should sell
not only its advertising pages but
even its news columns and editorial
opinions to such business for cash,
disguised great number Of people.
The last straw was added when it
went over to the Republicans for a
consideration, and it is being dropped
everywhere by self-respecting readers.
1t is, in our opinion, unworthy the
support of the temperance people or
any person who has fair political con-
oeptions, regardless Of poetry.

WHAT a change has come over the
Baltimore Sun, once 80 respected and
90 influential in this section. A few
years ago it stood for morality and
decency-now it is the organ Of liquor
interests, and the paper that was once
welcome in respectable homes fills its
pages with glazing advertisements Of
whiskey and beer. Once it had po-
htical principles, now it sells its edi-
toriai opinions for cash. The Suns
influence is gone forever, for while it
may have doomed its e1chequer tenn
porarily, it has forfeited the respect Of
the people in general and is regarded
with contempt even by those with
with whom it now sfilates. Poor
old Sun

A Plea From Tn. chaper0nes.

EDITOR REGIsTER-Why is 1t that so
many OF the young girls Of Shepherds
town are not allowed to attend the
dances We have heard it whispered
that il is because some Of the young
men drink between the dances. Gan
this be so 7 Would they have so little
respect for the chaperones and girls to
do such thing 1t seems incredible.
1t has been said that men who would
never think Of drinking at any other
time choose such an occasion to indulge.
II all the girls take stand, and refuse
to dance with any man who hasindulged.
II might help things, and We do want
the Shepherdstown dances to have 3
better reputation, for the young girls
sake and for everyone's sake, Please
let the men respect the chaperones, who
are responsible for the dances, enough
to resist for three or four hours, and il
they must drink, do it after the dance
is over. II they will not please us, we
must insist.

Mr.. TAFT announces that if he is
elected President he will at once call
a special session of Congress to con-
slider and pass new tariff bill. Mr..
Taft may mean well, but he would be
utterly unable 10 accomplish any good
along this line. Speaker Cannon and
the three men in the House of Repre-
sentativss who dictate its action would
simply laugh at him, while the Senate
would not bother a particle. What
is needed is Democratic House and
a Democrat of the force and courage
Of Mr.. Bryan to begin the tariff agi-
tation.
Furthermore, if the tariff is to be
reformed, it must be reformed by dis
interested statesmen, not by its ben
efciaries.
