Cal. JAMES Tile WINNER

Richmond, Va, Oct. 22.-The
state democratic committee, which
assembled. here today at noon in
Murphy's hotel, at six o'clock this
evening named Col. B. 0. James,
of this city, to succeed the late
David P. Eggleston as the party's
candidate for the office of Secretary
of the Commonwealth. This ac-
ton on the part of the committee
was the result of a compromise and
was taken toward the close of the
third session of the afternoon.
The only other candidate placed
in nomination was Mr.. Hawkins,
who had served as chief clerk in
the Office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth for the last twenty
years.
1t is understood that the state
committee will provide man for
each precinct in the State and see
that every voter is properly in
structed as to how to mark his bal
lot. This will have to be done
with care in order to make certain
the election of the choice of the
committee.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ANA.
TEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS

"Few things are more puzzling
to the amateur photographer than
to determine the length of time to
give an interior exposure, " says
the Woman's Home Companion for
November. "The following hints
were given the writer by a skillful
professional, and have enabled him
to obtain some very fine negatives
with no waste:
First focus carefully with open
lens, next put in your smallest
stop, then cover your head with
the dark cloth and look on the
ground glass You will probably
see only a very dim view, or even
only spot of light if the room is
dark. Note the exact time on
your watch, and then cover your
head up again, and watch the
ground glass until you can see the
entire picture upon it, even to the
shadows 1t will surprise the
amateur to see the length of timeit
takes one to see the entire picture
in this manner, but the eye gradu-
ally become accustomed to the
light and in one minute, as a rule,
one can distinguish the entire pic
ture. Then multiply the time by
four, and that will give you the
time in minutes to make your ex-
pcsure. For example, if your time
was one and one-half minutes,
your exposure should be just four
times one and one-half, which
EQUALS six minutes.

hfAl IN RillNS De HOME

Cumberland, Nd, Oct. 22-Res-
dents of the South Branch Valley
of the Potomac are greatly agita-
ted over supposed crime at Med
ley, "a miles south OF Cumberland
and 20 miles from Keyser, W. Va. 4,
last night.
About midnight neighbors saw
that the house occupied by Mrs.
Edward Reid, "a widow, and her
son, Croker Reid, aged 81 years
was in flames. They fastened to
the scene and extinguished the fire
before the house was destroyed.
The body of the son, without
head, was found at a point where
the hall stood, and the charred
body of the mother was found
where her bed had stood. Blood
stains were traced to and into the
barn. There the sons hat was
/ found, with a hole in the crown as
if made by some instrument.
The theory is robbery and muir
der. 1t is believed the young man
was murdered at the barn and drag
ged to the house, and that the
house was then set on fire to hide
the crime. Mrs. Reid's body was
SO badly burned that it could not
be told whether or not she was in
jured before the house was fired.
The Reds, who came to the
South Branch Valley from Texas,
were said to have considerable gold,
which they kept in the house. Mr..
Reid died three years ago.
No one lived closer to the Reid
home than a mile. Thomas Mich
ael, neighbor, discovered the fire.
which had gained great Roadway
The house was frame structure,
with fireplace, in which there had
been fire early in the evening. Both
slept in the second story.
Bloodhounds were ordered from
Moundsville, and they will be TAX
en- to the scene of the crime at
once. 1t is reported that Mrs,
Reid sold lot of fat cattle a few
days ago and had the money from
the sale in the house.
Medley is in the midst of a noted
grazing section. Mrs. Reds eldest
son, Harry Reid, is a travelling
salesman, who resides on Sharpless
street, Keyser, W. Va, Another
son, Kirk Reid, and daughter,
Mrs. j. w. Rodgers, resides al
Loganport, Ill. Another daughter,
Mrs. Lucy Trotter, lives at Column
bus, Ohio.

Furona,s Oirtiest Town.

All travellers should shun BOryslaw,
IN Galicia-"the back Of Europe
truthfully called the dirtiest place In
Europe. 1t is the oil trade center and
is decidedly not beautiful. In the main
street all the houses have been built
on mine refuse, and most Of them
have sunk below the level Of the
street. In fact, there is not q solid
brick or stone building In the whole
of the town. and many Of the houses
are In q state Of partial or entire col
lapse. Unrefined petroleum Is every
where. 1t gets into everything-food
and clothing-anL the atmosphere
reeks of It, Along one side of the
main street Is raised wooden pave
ment, and beneath 1t is an oily ditch.
Boryslaw's main waterway is mar
row, sluggish, oily stream. On its
banks the towns refuse Is cast, and
the market booths are erected along
side, while the local washerwomen-
though from external appearances one
would Judge that laundresses did not
exist there at aldo their washing In
its oily depths.

Potato culture promises to become
a leading industry in Pocahontas
county. Already progressive farm
ers are planting good acreage; and
the result is far in excess of what
has heretofore been realized from
the same ground. Among those
who planted from five to ten acres
this year are j. S. Mcneil and T.
A. Sydenstricker in the Levels, j.
j. and Luther Coyner, DR. Lyon
and W. G. Gardner at Clover Lick
and R. R. Goulet on Knapps
Creek. The yield over the county
averaged about 200 bushels, and a
market was found at about 60 cents.
The potatoes are planted, cultivat-
ed and dug by machinery. The
most successful grower, ]. j. Coy
ner, sprays his crops four rows at a
time. His yield was about 1900
bushels from seven acres. His
crop was green long after the I'M
sprayed fields were dead. He
found comparatively no rotten or
small potatoes. - Pocahontas
Times.
incidentally our attention was
the other day called to the subject
of potato culture in Highland, and
the returns as compared with other
crops. A Jackson's River farmer
dug from an acre of ground 1852
bushels of potatoes, finding ready
sale for most of them at so cents.
Some of the crop has been stored
for the spring market, but his
brother farmers can safely figure on
the result from this one acre of
Highland land.

The spirit of our people was
quickened Tuesday when an auto
mobile arrived in town bearing a
lot of railroad men, namely, w. B.
and ]. J. Cornwell, Messrs. Allies
and Trapnell, and Robt. c. Myers,
chauffeur. W.B. Cornwell is pres
ident of the road, and Mr.. Trapnell
is chief engineer and said to be
high in the profession.
The crowd took dinner at the
Daugherty, after which they drove
over to Monterey, Va, and from
there to Warm Springs.
From their conversation it was
learned that they were looking
over proposed route.
President Cornwell informed us
that they were having success, and
if nothing unexpected prevents, the
trains will pull into Petersburg by
February next instead of June as
formerly thought.
While Mr.. Cornwell did not
plainly say so, he left an impress
sion that if we want the railroad
and will do our part there are
chances that capitalists can be in
duced to build it further than Pc
tersburg.
People of this county are becon1-
ing wide awake to the need of a
railroad, and since there has been
an agitation of the subject an Gag
erness for railroad is universally
manifested South Branch Re-
