President-elect Taft in his endeavor
to break the Solid South has shown
him self ridiculous at least to the peo-
pie Of the South. OF coarse Mr.. Taft
is received with that cordial hospitali-
ty hich has always characterized the
southern people but this he misunder-
stands and presumes to take credit to
himself for great Influence. If he
lives to see another election, all
hope he will, he will again see the
South as solid as II has been in the
past On this subject Bishop Warren
Gambler, one of the most intellectual
men of the south says:
SIT may oe added that the task of
breaking up the Solid South viii not
be an easy one. The unifying processes
of more than a century are not arrest
ed and turned back in day. Blood
and tradition, ancestry and history,
the compacting power Of war and the
selidifying struggles of peace, common
interests and common dangers, COM
mon memories and common hopes,
count for something, and all these
things must be reckored with when
men undertake to break up the "Solid
South.

Mr.. Taft is talking, and eating
through Georgia. It.would seem that
be ought to be satisfied with SOHO
republican North and to let the South
remain democratic. We are inclined to
think that he will find it big job
capturing the South. Those southern
ers are very much "sot in their ways
and their way has been to vote the
democratic ticket.

charIeston Letter.

Dear Democrat:
Hon. Gray Silver is the Dean OF tn
delegation from our section OF the
state and his friends have been pleased
with the recognition his attention to
business has brought to him, from the
beginning and even before the organi-
cation of the Senate. There was no OPP
position among the democrats of the
senate in the mplimentary vote for
president of that body.
His opinion is sought by members
of both houses upon all questions OF
policy. From having served with him
and knowing his worth, Pres. Fore
man has placed him on the following
committeee: Finapce and Taxation,
Education, County, District and Nh
nieipal corp rations, immigration and
Agriculture and Roads and Naviga-
ton. The work of these committees is
important and decisive in the direc-
ton which legislation will take Every
feature of legislation which effect the
farmers has his special care.
Senator McIntire who is here at the
Kanawha hotel with his family,
while not sufficiently known to receive
the recognition which will come to
him later yet the privilege was award
ed him Of placing Senator Silver in
nomination foripresident iof the Sen
ate. His ability as lawyer preceded
him SO the president placed him on
the judiciary and other COED commit
tees.
Jefferson county made happy
choice in her representative in the
house. He Is recognized as one Of the
solid members of that body. 1t is al
ways the wish of those having the
rection of public affairs to especially
regard the agricultural inter-
ests. In recognition of this the speak
er gave HIM good committee assign
meats. G. NJ. Sebert has been placed
upon the following committees FL
nance and Taxation, Privileges and
Elections, Insurance and other good
committees.
DR., Daniels Will certainly receive all
the recognition to which he is entitled
being mem Der Of the majority. He
has already received marked distiEc-
ton fos his shrewdness and ability the
task of passing through the house t. e
new charter for the city of Martins
burg.
The growth of public expenditures
has been leading the receipts to the
State Treasury and the administration
HAS been forced to seek new sources of
revenue. AS the number of saloons are
decreased SO are the revenues from that
source diminished. 1t will be remem-
bered that the republicans seemed to
be desirous Of placing a tax on the pro-
duction of coal, oil and gas, they had
abandoned this feature of tax reform
so long that il is in order here to speak
of 1t and the GovernorIn this message
practically recommends something in
the way of legislation on thess pro.
dacts. Whether this is for the purpose
of securing new oath Of allegiance to
that party by those engaged in the
production of these articles or whether
the suggestion is made in good faith
has been in the minds of every one
connected with the law making body
ana not admitted TO the inner circle.

A FEW FIGURES.

The value of all farm products OF
1908, in the United States, Is ST.
778,000,O00, according to the recent
annual report Of the Secretary OF
Agriculture. This stupendOus total
is not only the greatest in the ma
fion's history, but is also nearly
three hundred million dollars more
than that of 1907. During the last
ten years we have raised the incOn-
ceivable sum of sixty billion dollars
worth of produce on the farms OF the
United States. The corn which grew
last summer during I four months
would, if it were not being devoted to
better purposes, pay the interest
bearing debt of the United States,
dig the Panama Canal, and buy fifty
battle-ships. The other leading prod
nets in order of value are cotton,
hay, wheat, oats, and other cereals,
sugar, potatoes, tobacco and hops.
If any one can read Secretary Will
sons report without a feeling of
pride in the stupendous extent and
wealth of his country, he'd better
have himself examined. There is
something vitality the matter with
that portion of his brain which IS
the seat of patriotism.

When Animals Are III.

Said a prominent veterinarian: Gan
lmals when sick are the most helpless
and appreciative of all creatures, and
the way of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is as novel
as it is effective. The most savage and
revengeful animals during spells of Sc
we're pain are, as rule, as dOcile and
tractable as a child. Relief must come
from a human being, and come quick
ly, and they seem to know 1t. The
most vicious horse when grooming
with pain would allow a mere child to
administer relief, and many of the
wild animals when in sickness seem
to forget their savage Instincts

THE PAST, PRESENT
AND FUTURE

The present year is notable one
in the worlds history in that it
marks the hundredth anniversary of
the birth of nine of the worlds great
men-Lincoln, Darwin, Gladstone,
Poe, Tennyson, Fitzgerald, Holmes,
Chopin and Mendelssohn. Looking
back to the year of their births, we
can realize the tremendous changes
that time has wrought. More has
been accomplished in that hundred
years than in all the centuries be-
fore.
In the newspaper world, the Wash
ington hand press is succeeded by
the rotary perfecting press. The
former turned out 80 copies an hour
the latter is capable of 100000 an
hour. The news of the world was
not collected a hundred years ago.
That was long before any attempt
at a regular news service. Means
of communication were too unreh-
able, and the different countries were
far from being in constant communi-
cation with one another.
Think of the collection of news at
the present time. A few weeks ago

The Greyhound.

Various explanations have been CIV
en- of the origin of the term grey
hound. some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Graius,
meaning Greek. others that it signifies
great, while still others say that it has
reference to the color of the animal.
In no other breed of hounds is the
blue or gray color so prevalent, and
consequently the last mentioned deri-
walton seems the most plausible.-Lon-
