Basil Hayden, who swore near 50years
ago that if Abraham Lincoln was elected
President of the United States he would
never again step outside his rooms, kept
his vow until his death, which occurred
on Wednesday night at his home at
Greeubrier, Nelson county, Kentucky.
Hayden, who was in the prime of young
manhood when Mr.. Lincoln was nomi-
mated, told his friends that he was going
to do all in his power to defeat Lincoln,
but that if he should be elected he would
never set his foot outside of his room
Lincoln was elected and young Hayden
kept his vow. He was IS years old and
was known for his many ecentricities. 1t
is said he was worth more than 500, 900.

Finds Knife Lost 1875 Years.

Sherrard c. Unger, of Hancock, while
on Cacapon Mountain, about five miles
west of Berkeley Springs, a few days ago,
made most valuable find as well as an
ancient discovery in hiding knife which
is supposed to have been lost by Lord
Dunton, who, according to history, pass
ed through that section of heScountry on
his march from Fort Richmond (Rich-
mond) Va, to Fort Pitt (Pittsburg) Pa,
about 1876 years ago.
The knife has every indication of being
very rare and unique relic. The blade
is about 4 inches long and silver skele-
ton sheath or holster, lined inside with
leather and the letters L. D. stamped on
the outside Of it. In the handle OF the
knife are concealed several articles such
as were considered very handy and USE
full in those days-a corkscrew used to
pull the shoppers from their canteens, a
buttoner used to button their leggins, a
small lance which was considered a house
hold necessity in those times, pair Of
scissors and sewing needle, which, be-
ing made of a piece of steel about three
inches long, sharpened at one end and
bent up straight at the other to hold the
thread.
It's claimed to be the Oldest relic in
the United States of its kind and Mr.. Un-
ger feels very proud of his find. and has
refused 81 500 already for it.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp.Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-R Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-doilar size bottles. You may have
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
DR.. Kiimer 6, Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
When writing mention reading this gen.
erous offer in this paper. Don't make
any mistake, but remember the name,
Swamp-Root, and don't let q. dealer sell
you something in place of Swamp Root
if you do you will be disappointed.

William H. White, president of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Railroad, who has purchased the old
Chandler house near Guinea, Va, in
which Stonewall Jackson died, said that
he personally had made the purchase
from ]. w. King, but that the railroad
company in all probability would become
the owner, since the plan was to build a
park and place man in charge. Trees
and flowers will be planted and the his
toric dwelling will become one OF the
points of interest to sightseers. Jackson
was shot one mile west of the Chancellor
house, on the eastern edge of the Wild
erness, May 2, 1863, during the battle Of
Charlottesville, his command being
mistaken by Lanes Brigade for Federal
Cavalry and fired upon in the darkness.

As the Southern Limited Express train
on the Norfolk & Western Railway was
dashing along at mile minute last
Friday the emergency brakes suddenly
flew on and the train was almost derailed.
Trainmen ran here and there in an effort
to find how the brakes were applied.
Going into special Pullman car occupied
by number Of chattering and excited
school girls on their way to college, the
trainmen found the emergency cord had
been used for a clothes line. Many pretty
coats and wraps were hanging from the
cord, while the girls were huddled to-
gether in fright at the sudden stop, never
dreaming the cause.

State Superintendent Shawkey. in a
pamphlet just issued, says:
! am convinced that the work OF our
schools is seriously discounted by the
bad physical conditions in and around
school houses. 1t is lamentable fact
that an ideal school house and grounds is
really hard to find. An inartistic build ing,
dirty and uncomfortable, with an made
quate and neglected yard, is the rule. 1t
is small comfort to argue that other states
are no better off in this respect than we
are. The time is at hand when il will be
our shame if we allow conditions to con-
tinue. Shall we not have concerted
effort among all the people Of the state
towards cleaning up and identifying
West Virginia, our home, land bounti-
fully blessed by nature but devastated by
man !?
To this end have designated Friday,
October ], 1909, as clean up and beautify
day, to be observed in all the schools OF
West Virginia and by every civic fedora
ton, improvement league, woman's club.
or other society that will join US in such
a beneficial and patriotic movement. This
exercise will take the place OF the fall ar
Dor day and while the folks in the coun-
try are scrubbing windows and floors.
cleaning away debris, planting vines,
building walks, erecting flag poles or put
ting up pictures, the folks in town may
be washing walls and desks, planting
shrubs or trees, or organizing crusades
against filthy alleys and back yards, un-
sanitary cars and indecent. billboards,
noxious shows and vulgar language on
the streets. We live in the school house,
the car and on the street. These places
should then be as clean, wholesome, at
tractive and beautiful as we can make
them. How shall we 90 at all this Any
way so we 60 at il in earnest.
A young girl reporting her improve
ment work two years ago said: "The
stick weeds on one lot were so big that
to cut them off would leave stubs to man.
gle the children's feet at play, SO | got
the larger pupils TO help and we pulled
them up by the roots with our hands"
The same teacher went to the road over
seer and by her entreaty compelled him
to remove the public road out from the
front of her door steps. This shows what
can be done where there is will.
If you live in the city have the mayor
issue "clean up" proclamation for Oc-
tober l.. Enlist the activities Of other
means. The press will lend you great
assistance if you tell them about the
movement. Have the ministers preach
a sermon on the subject on the Sunday
preceding. Join in with every possible
civic Improvement club and to as many
of the hundreds of needed things as you
can do.
If you are in the country get the boys
and girls, their fathers and mothers, the
trustees and boards of education, the
ministers, everybody else, and go towork,
first on the roads and fence rows, then
the springs and streams, then the churches
and cemeteries.
All this can be done by will and work
with little expense. Isit not abundantly
worth while and shall we not join in the
movement with spirit and thus bless the
goodIy country we call our home =?
