The Huntington Advertiser inter-
viewed Theodore Aivord yesterday
at Huntington and he made some
sensational charges with ref renee
TO the state press and the liquor lob
by at Charleston. Among other
things the Judge IS quoted as cay
ing:
There are a few papers In the

the daily papers are dong all they
can to bel tile the work of the Anti

to make the pSople OF the state be-

BOARD OF TRADE

There is no gainsaying the fact
that business has been dull
here for some months and that
our merchants and business
men have not made proper
efforts to recover the loss
sustained by the destruction of
the large mill of Smith, Moore
& Company by fire last Febru-
airy. Snow Hill cannot stand
still, but must go forward, and
something must be done
toward securing for our town
factories to give employment
to the people rather than allow
them to leave and go to other
towns. If we sit down and
fold our hands expecting some
one else to take up this work it
will not be done at all; there
fore, il behooves every business
man of Snow Hill who desires
the advancement of the town
to be doing something toward
that advancement.
The MESSENGER believes that
a public meeting should be held
at an early date looking to the
formation of a board of trade,
the purpose of which should be
to advertise to the world that
Snow Hill offers rare oppor-
tunities for persons who desire
to engage in manufacturing;
where labor is plentiful and
reasonably cheap; where rail
road and river navigation rem
ders transportation easy where
the climate is good, the people
friendly and where business can
be run in an economical way.
What is everybody's business is
nobody's business; therefore, if
we want new factories we must
have a board of trade for Snow
Hill whose business it will be
to look after the interests of
the town as well as the interests
of prospective investors. Peo-
pie are often driven away from
a town because of the hoggish-
ness of lot owners and others
who are too near-sighted to
look for future benefits.
Let us organize.

NOT TO BE FRIGHTENED.


they are taking it very hard
and are endeavoring to impress
the people of Baltimore and
other sections of the State with
the idea that they were cheated
out of their just deserts, which
is all tommy rot. On their part
it is simply a case of being so
sore after their licking that
they can't sit down. A few
days after the election the news
was given out that quite a
number of counties which had
heretofore failed to take advan-
tage of the Wilson ballot law
now signified their intention of
asking that the law apply to
these counties. This so fright
ened the Republicans that they
Immediately inaugurated a
campaign which they say will
prevent any other counties from
becoming Wilson ballot law
counties. Their plan is to make
the law appear as odious as
possible. They claim that suits
will be instituted against super
visors in the Wilson counties
and that the elections will be
contested in these counties, and
all this is done without any
idea of making a successful
contest but rather to get into
their yellow journals great
array of falsehood, vituperation
and misrepresentation of Demo-
Gratis of the Eastern Shore.
Democrats, however, are not
to be frightened or deferred
from their object to make this
a white mans State, by any
threats or action upon the part
of Mr.. Hanna or his gang. The
people know how sanity the
Republican party is in this
State "When the devil was
sick the devil saint would be /;
when the devil was well, devil
of a saint was he"
The party can only be judged
by its past records and as the
Republican party has had such
small opportunity in this State
to do anything and did so much
harm in the short time that it
was in power, we can only say,
"Good Lord, deliver us" from a
more extended power. Talk
about Acknowledgement. We
do not know a thing about it in
comparison with the experience
of our fathers. 1t is very
pleasant for us to have to refer
so frequently to the attitude of
the Republican party of Mary
land toward the best citizenship
of our State when that party
was in power just after the
Civil War. but we are forced to
do this because the bowling,
insincere statements of the
leaders of the Republican party
in this State. They are always
talking what they would do if
they were in power and the
only reply we can make is what
they DID DO when they were
in power. and they did enough
to everlastingly gorge all self
respecting, white men who love
fairness and believe in the rule
of white men to forever set
them against the Republican
party as constituted in this
State. If the Republicans think
that the Democrats are going to
be frightened off and that the
Wilson ballot law will be re-
pealed they are sadly mistaken.
Instead of being repealed we
predict that it will be made
more liberal and that the Legis-
laiure of 1910 will ACT re-
garddless Of the threats of Re-
publican leaders and yellow
journals. Fact is the Wilson
Ballot law is a test of intelli-
gence for voters and should ap-
