OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

All kinds of stories have been float
ing around this week concerning GER
tain men who will oppose Congress
man Sturgiss for nomination at the
coming convention. There is some
time intervening before the nomina-
ton shall be made, but already there
are men who would like to succeed
the Morgantown man in the lower
house Just where Berkeley county
stands on the question is a little diff
ficult to say.
State Senator Foreman pres dent of
the senate has big bee buzzng under
his hat and when he was here attend
ing United States court he was free
E to confess that he would like to have
the place. He moved around a great
deal among the men who manage pol
itical affairs in this county and there
were many favorable comments on
his ability to fill the shoes OF the
present representative.
Senator Blue is little known in this
section except by reputation and con-
StuutHlly very lIltIc IL HtdIu Vi llliu
There is one, Tracy Jeffords. from
this end of the district who would
like to have seat in congress. He
gets here frequently and is well
known around here and has many
friends who would give him their sup
port.
While there is little said against
the present congressman, there are
those who are not as enthusiastic for
him as they should be, in order TO
give him the support that he desires
from this county.
The party here is somewhat split
up when it comes to selecting a can
didate but when The voting time ar
rives they are generally there with a
iair majority for their candidate.
There is no doubt but that the post
office fight here will enter TO a great
extent into the selection Of the dele
gat to the nominating convention.
1t depends a great deal ON who Is
aamed for the place whether or not
the present congressman will get the
support of the county.
The choice Ct a candidate is some
months off, but there are those who
are giving the matter some considera-
ton.

CHRISTMAS Is COMING.

There Is nothing about those warm
November days to remind one of
Christmas, but the important fact re-
mains that this anniversary is less
than six weeks away.

SECOND RIOT
JURY SECURED
Not All of the Peremptory
Challenges We're
Exhausted.

The riot jury was secured early YES
terday morning. contrary to general
expectation, for it had been antieipat-
ed that greater difficulty would be ex-
perienced in finding twelve men who
would be satisfactory to both the de-
tense and the prosecution. But when
the attorneys for both sides finally an
nounced that they were satisfied with
the twelve men in the box, the defense
still had nine peremptory challenges
left and the prosecution had two.
Lightfoot intimated that, though he
might not be entirely satisfied with the
result of the selection the remaining
names in the clerk s box looked too
Ianch like sugar to be good. Most of
them, he said, were of employees of
either I'll. Hackfeld e. Company or OF
T. FL. Davies & Company, and he would
prefer to have his clients tried by
those already drawn than by those Ne
might get if he used his challenges
any more freely.
1t is worthy of note that, whereas
the conspiracy jury was composed prin-
cipally of Hawaiians, the second riot
jury is made up for the most part of
haoles, Lightfoot having used his right
of peremptory challenge to gev rid of
the greater number of Hawaiians who
were drawn. He has apparently con-
Guided that there does not exist that
good feeling between Hawaiian and
japanese that he at first thought ex-
listed.
The actual trial will begin at $3.50
Monday morning, when the prosecu-
ton will open with its preliminary
statement.
The twelve men who are to make a
second attempt TO determ ne as to the
guilt or innocence of the ten Japa-
| nese accused of having rloted at Wal
pahu are:
George H. Greene, white; James
Guild, white; D. Vowel, part. Hawai-
