You may think it little strange
that | should ask space to send a
message to my Republican brethren
through the columns of your paper.
Well, my excuse is that the fou.
Republican papers in this county
represent the two factions of our
party, and II / sent it 20 either one
OF the Republican papers / might
be considered partial IN my views.
Therefore / have selected The Ar.
Gus, as it is as largely read by the
Republicans as our own party pa.
pers.
The message which | desire to
send to all true and loyal Republl.
cans Is that they insist on our new
committeeman the absolute necessit,
OF selecting new men for chairman
and secretary. We cannot deny
that there is Too. pronounced an
iagonism to the present gentlemen
who are acting 10 that capacity In
the senatorial contest betwee,
Messrs. Flynn and Montgomer, tho
strength Of both factions was tested
and We fud thai one faction Pc a..
strong as the other. Whether The
objections 90 Gee gentlemen who arc
at the head of t1e organization are
real or fsncied We need not discuss
but we rous' acknowledge that +,
does exist, and If 't continues Fl, will,
eventually disrup' the party.
Speaking for myself have alss,s
been loyal 70 the organization and
have worked and voted for che

DIR. j. ". King aud Family Remem.
berrd by Host Of Friends.

Friends TO the number of half
a hundred invaded the residence of
DIR. and Mr.. J. NJ. King on Main
street Monday evening about Q
O'Clock and disturbed the usual tran
guilty of that happy home. To say
that it was surprise is putting it
mildly, as the doctor was rendered
spr, CHESS tor the time being, and
has not yet fully recovered his fac
ultes.
The doctor aud his wife were en-.
gagged in game of forty two"
with some friends when the crowd
entered, the game having been pre-
arranged by their friends to insure
their being at home. The company
consisted Of persons from IA to 70
years Of age, a great many of them
having been intimately associated
with the doctor In Epworth League
work, officIa rnern bers of the church,
and many others. They brought
with them a freezer Of ice cream,
cake, candy, and apples, which were
elegantly served during the evening.
An interesting program consisting
Of music and Rotations was rem
dered, after which the doctor was
called upon and in few well chosen
words expressed his heartfelt appre-
citation for the token of esteem, re.
spec, and friendship thus shown and
assured then this act Of love would
be ever treasured by he and his
wife az a delightful memory In their
future home aud life. Senator
Hughes then spoke few words
touching upon the doctors residence
among us; of how they would be
missed, and wished them abundant
success and Gods blessing in their
new field.
The home was completely turned
over to the friends and various
amusements were engaged in until
after midnight.

Publish the Tax Receipt.

AhS Hidcnlne organs are sui
indulging in pipe dreams about
the Dawson tax laws. The Graf
ton Republican published a COM
munication recently setting forth
the beauties of "tax reform" and
with considerable gusto and chest
ty swelling remarks:
"a reduction Of state tax from
80 cents TO 8 cents within the
space Of six years-fve years in
reality-is a great accomplish
ment almost mammoth under
taking, and this is but one feature
of the laws that are accomplishing
so much for the West Virginia
taxpayer today"
To the unthinking this juggling
of the facts may sound good, but
the intelligent taxpayer who has
PAID ms taxes IS perfectly aware
that the reduction of the state tax
has not lightenod his burden as a
taxpayer. In reducing the state
tax they simply shifted it over
onto the counties. If they should
have wiped out the entire state
tax in 1907, which they promised
to do, the increase i'm the tax re-
ceipt would have followed Just
the same on account of the fla
grant extravaganza of the present
state administration. The increase
In the state appropriations from
100000 to over S6,OO0,00O
would not permit of tax reduc-
ton. Not only have our taxes
been increased, but we venture
the assertion that by the time Bill
Dawson has to vacate the guber-
material chair to a Democrat that
the state will be nursing q nice
deficit of at least half million dol
lars. So much for the reduction
OF the state tax from 80 to 8 cents.
| The Republican will hardly
deny that there has been an in
crease IN the tax receipt in Taylor
county of 1907 over that of 1906.
This being true, how does the
Republican expect to fool the
taxpayers of Taylor county by
such Misrepresentation?
Here in Preston the machine
organ will not discuss the Dawson
tax laws. 1t either purposely OF
unwittingly misrepresented the
Dawson tax laws to the taxpayers
of Preston. 1t assured them there
would be "a great reduction in
their tax receipt for 1907 over
1906" When the tax receipt for
1907 was presented it was found
that there was a decided increase
IN the 1907 receipt. Even the
machine organ itself had to pay
more taxes. 1t has been repeated.
ly asked to publish its tax receipts
for 1906 and 1907 that the people
might be the judge as to the de-
gree of its misrepresentation of the
tax laws. But it steadfastly re.
fuses, believing that it has been
sufficiently punished by the re.
turns from the late primary.
Now, if the Grafton Republican
wants to distinguish itself as the
hero Of the Dawson machine. LET
it publish a few tax receipts OF
1906 and 1907 on the same as.
sessment and let the Taylor county
taxpayers behold how they have
been benefited by the PRODUCTION
ofthe state tax from 80 to scents. .
But the Republican will not dc
it. Like the Preston county organ
1t dare not, as it would expose the
, iallacy Of its representation.

to the state convention. 1t is re-
ported to have been wildly hila-

to disagree and held two couven-
tons i'll the same hall. Two sets
of delegates were named, one for
Scberr and one for Swisher. The
contest will be carried to the
state convention, where it is a

tee will eliminate the credential

Swisher. We all know what the

TACK the vital organs, causing catarrh of

Bladder troubles almost ALWAYS result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and

cures OF the most distressing cases.
