Wanted l. 400 New subscribersl

Now that the Register has gone TO such
heavy expense in getting an entire new
outfit of type, we want somebody to help
pay the bill. Modest request, TO be sure,
but we think we are justified in making
it A dollar year isn't enough for a
paper like the Register-it doesn't suffi-
GENTLY remunerate the publisher for his
time and expenses. Now, we don't want
to advance the price, and if our friends
and subscribers will help us bit, we will
not do so. We now have few over l.
600 subscribers. If we can increase this
number to 1000, we won't have TO raise
the subscription rate. If one in every
four of our present subscribers will put us
in the way of getting new one-why
the thing is done! Sounds simple enough,
doesn't it? Will you help?
Ifeveryone who now borrows his neigh
boris paper will bring or send us dollar,
we will get big boost right at the start.
Mr.. Borrower and Mrs. Borrower, we
mean YOU.
If everybody who spends fifty cents a
year on stamps to send the paper TO some
one else-to say nothing of the time and
trouble it takes to do this and the delay
in getting it to the receiver-will add
another fifty cents, the paper can be sent
promptly from this office. Won't you
help along by letting us send the copy to
your friend =?
There are great many families in JEFF
ferson and Berkeley counties in which the
Register ought to be regular visitor.
We would like all of these to send us a
dollar for a years subscription, and if
anyone isn't satisfied that he gets his
moneys worth-well, well return the
dollar.
Many OF Our friends can help us by
sending us the names and addresses Of
persons in other States who may be in
terested in the Register. We will take
pleasure in sending sample copies to all
such-to anybody who wants them-and
shall try to stir up an interest especially
in those who have moved from Shep-
herdstown or Jefferson county who now
live in other sections. Our paper already
goes to almost every State in the Union,
particularly in the Western States, and
we send ii to Japan and China and the
Philippines, but there are hundreds who
ought to get il who are not now sub
Scribers. Send us any number OF names,
and we will go after them. Many OF our
friends have heretofore been most kind
in this respect, and we will appreciate
their further favorS.
We are aiming for 1000 subscribers by
the first of next October. Give us a
boost.

Mr.. Lawrence Welsh, brother of the

The presents were numerous and useful.
The young couple have host of friends,
who join in wishing them long life
and much happiness,

Knott, both of Moler'S Cross Roads, were

age OF Mt. Vernon NJ. E. Church South

The bride was dressed in a handsome
gown of blue, with hat and gloves to
match. The happy couple returned TO
Harper'S Ferry Tuesday evening, and
from there drove TO the home OF the bride,
where supper was given them. They
expect in the near future to occupy their
new home in the vicinity Of UvilIa. We

Franchise Granted,

The town council of Shepherdstown
last Monday night granted franchise 10
the Interstate Natural Gas Company to
lay its pipe lines in this place and TO in
stall and operate the material necessary
TO sell natural gas to prospective custo-
merS. In our opinion the council has act
ed very wisely in passing this measure.
The franchise was presented by Geo. M.
Beltzhoover, attorney, and is practically
as asked for by the company, several Mi
nor amendments being added for the fur
ther protection OF the people OF the COM
munity. We notice that in some OF the
adjoining towns there is disposition to
place distractions in the way OF the nat
uraI gas company. We are glad to note
that our council acts in a different way,
and that the company will be warmly well
coined here. Natural gas is not only a
luxury in the houSehold-if anything will
prove an inducement to manufacturers
and industrial enterprises il is this cheap
and convenient fuel.
We hope that the gas company will
speedily stretch its iron arms in our direc-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Digrcs sing

Sheppard. of Texas, charged that Pres.
ident-elect Taft did the south a seri.
GUS injustice when he said that a fair
opportunity was not presented in this
section for the free exercise OF SUI.
rage. Mr.. Sheppard emphatically. de-
MED that such was the case and said
that Mr. Taft had made himself ridic,l.
lous.
The Texas member had reached the
point in his remarks where he spoke
OF the southern political situation
when he was interrupted with a query
by MIR. Bates, OF Pennsylvania, who
asked IL 1t was not Mr.. Taft's purpose
to procure a free opportunity for the
consideration OF public questions. in
the south. The question brought forth
the declarntaion referred to. Mr..
Sheppard added that he believed the
people OF the south were Democratic
because they applied the principles Of
Democracy that were best for the en-,
tire country. regardless Of section.
"If," he said ''they thought that Re
publican principles were best they
would adopt them. The south" he
said. evidently was not Influenced in
It's Democracy by sectonalism or race
Issues. because the south was Demo
cratic before the war rns dreamed OF
or the race issue was remote proba-
bility. i !. ", y.
"On the contrary" he declared,
"there were states In the. north that
were solidly Democratic before the
war that have been soliilly Rpublica'n
since and the; charge OF sectionallsm
could be brought against them with
much more fairness than against the
SOUTH" y "a,
"pid not congressional districts 50
Republican last time for the first time
and was not that evidence OF the TACT
that the solid south was broken?" MT
Bates inquired.
Mr.. Sheppard promptly rejected the
idea and said that Instead Of the south
leaning toward Republicanlsm 1t was
more Democratic to-day than It was
50 or 60 years ago. rs there were sew
eral Whlg states in the south before
the war. The Wings. ne declared,
we're but the predecessors OF the re
publcans, but there had been no Re

Hints for Housekeeping.

orously with linseed oil.
If an iron is not at hand when mark
! ing clothes with indelible ink nold the
writing against a lighted lamp Chin
ney or gas globe. N
Garments that are to be hung out to
mir can be put on hangers rather taan
pinned to the line. This prevents sag
ging or marking with clothespins.
Bric.n-brnc containing mother.of
pcarl should never be cleaned with
soap anil water. Instead, Il should be
rubbed with clotn dipped into whit

If when using lemon for tlavoring
you need only half a one, put the 9th
or half on 4 plate and cover with a
glass tumbler. This excludes the air
and prevents It from drying up or get
