Under the benefieent workings of the
boosted tx laws in West Virginia
farmers who make sale of stock and
Implements during the winter, after
Jan. l, have to pay taxes on all they
sell as well as what they keep
and if they hold the notes over the fol-
lowing Jan, /, they have to pay taxes
on the notes.
Under these same tax laws taxpay-
els who are unable to pay their taxes
before the following Jan. l are re-
CURED to pay interest at the rate OF
ten per cent. That is the way the tax
laws favors the poor man. The man
who is able to pay his taxes before

the balance 10y hard work and econo-

two men pay taxes on thei same
property. If moneyed man buys
bank stock ON credit he is not required
topay taxes on it. This is an Injustice

When matters were going to the
bad with the republican ticket the
leaders could do notningi until boss
Bowers came up from Washington.
Every thing stood still until he came
and assumed command. Nomau dared
raise his voice for he knew he would
be put to silence and shame as soon
as the boss arrived. When Lamon
came down his next max went up.
No wonder he told Lannon's enemies
that they could do their worst that he
could nominate yellow dog and elect
him too IN Berkeley county in spite Of
them.
The present campaign has, until the
past week, been one of clean and re-
spectacle politics, but during the past
few days some gentlemen have been
INDUCING in some old time roorbacEs
a species that does them no good, in
fact will do their cause great haral
when the truth is once known and the
gentlemen who are really responsible
for the unsavory work are seen in the
lime light.
On Tuesday evening last the Mar
tinsburg Journal was the vehicle which
brought to light the rottenest roor-
back of them All. 1t came in the shape
of a letter from Jack Henson, the
Young son of the late John o. henson,
Just back from school and just admitted
to the bar, to Chairman w. WOOD,
of the republican county committee
stating that Mr.. f. b. Referring, the
democratic candidate for sheriff, is in
eligible and therefore cannot fill The
office if elecled.
NO one believes that this boy has
acted on his own responsibility, or on
MS own voiitiOu, He has gotten his
inspiration from older heads, and he
has msde a great mi take in lending
himself to carry garbage for others
The whole scheme Is to create, il
possible, a panic in the splendidly or
ganized democratic forces and 20 scare
I Mr.. Kettering and his friends into lay
ing down, but it will not work Every
democrat who has heard ofthe matter
and also a good many republicans are
aroused as nothing else could have
aroused them and they have vowed
that Mr.. Kettering win have s~ eep
ing majority.
MIR. Henson also gives letter from
1 his teacher IN the state university sap
porting his opinion. This esteem q
! dean, is no other than the notorious
/ Charley hogg, a renegade demoera
" no, like most other renegrades, ha'
been rewarded for his perlidy to the

to light, by beng put at the pie coun

/ gress ore term by the democrats from
the old fourth district and as ther'
was nothing in hun he was not re
nominated and in-ss-much as publl
pie was requisite to his being, he sole

The campaign has been carried on
in Berkeley county until this week
with the best feeling and with that
acrtmony which has so often marked
campaigns in the past but last Satur-
day the Martinsburg Advertiser came
out with two items, which were repre-
sented to be news items attacking Mr.
A. b. Noll The first charged that MIR.
Noll had willfully prepared and sent
out TO the republicans Of the county
a sample ballot with the republican
ticket on the wrong side OF the sheet,
via: on the left side, with an idea of
con fusing the republican voters and get
ting them to vote the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Noll had nothing to do with the
preparation of the ticket. He requested
us 10 prepare and get out the sample
ballot which we did and did so from
copy of the ballot in the clerks office
and there was no thought of tAislead-
ing anyone.
The other item was a reflection on
the ability and fidelity of Mr.. Noll as
an officer, charging that there is bill
now pending in the County Court for
a fee of $500 to Hon. II. b. GilkesOn,
as special counsel, TO assist Mr.. Noll
in prosecutIol of the case against
the Hanris Distiliing Company for the
payment oftaxes for the years 1905 and
1906 which ease WAS carried To the Su-
prone Court and resulted in the pay
ment of more than 81, 200 by the defen-
dant in taxes aud the court must have
been convinced of the justice of the fee
and SO IL lied With the services as 1t has

The labor vote is almost solid for
Bryan and that is always the deciding
element in The elections. Roosevelt has
been fairly tearing his hair cur IN his
appeals 10 the laboripg men but each
convention rs it meets endorses Mr..
GomPersiand declares for Bryan The
fact IS tual there has not been such
bright pres pects before any election
for many years. & The indications are
far brighter than IN 1892 when Cleye-
land swept The countrys Ia that year
the whole republican press was just
as confident of Victory as this years
and tie bets ran at twice as large ODDS
as they have against Mir. Bryan hose
thingS am unit tosinothing, but the
condition Ct the parties sIs " hat tells.
The republican party hassnever won a
victory when III was disrupted as it is
AZ this time. In nearly every state the
republicans are at war, one with an
other, just as badly as IN this state
and the democratic party has never
lost when il was as well organized and
harmonious as.at this.time.
