Ex-senator Davis, who is brother

mere mention of his name at ay per
iod OF the meeting created most pro-
fuse applause.
Last night the speakers, most of
them, went On late train TO Mounds
vile for the meeting today.
Every address had in il special in

The condition of the main thorough
fares and sidewalks yesterday pre-
scented anything but a Sunday appear
ance. If cleanliness is next to God
illness there was very little indication
that Martinsburg is a Cody city. Main
street presents dirtier appearance
On Sunday morning than any other
morning during the week. A little ex-
ira sweeping Saturday night and a
little more care in throwing refuse on
the streets would give a much better
impression TO the stranger and home
people would walk the streets with a
Attic less loathing.

MANY WANT HODGES JOB
Many Applicants Are After the Posi-
ton of Member Of State Board
OF Control.
Of Control.

Charleston, September 2s.--By the
election OF Mr.. Hodges to the pres
dency Of the West Virginia State Uni
versity, a vacancy will be created in
the state board Of control that has
been giving Governor Glasscock much
thought. The governor will have no
trouble to find applicants for NJ. Hod.
ges' place on the board. In fact. his
trouble will be to pick out man with
the ability to fill the place and be in
harmony with the other members OF
the board. If the original plan IS car
ried out--that of having an educator,
"a lawyer and a business man on The
board-Mr. Hodges successor Will be-
long 10 the educational class. and this
would at once eliminate manv OF the
applicants.
1t would be no surprise If thu gov
ernor would do This time as he did be-
fore. ask some one to take the place
who was not an applicant. That, in
most instances, means that the person
asked would be taking a position
worth less to him than his present
business. The successor TO Hodges
will be a Democrat
Charleston has several applicants,
among them John Baker White, a
member of the board of affairs: ]. A.
de Gruyter, former mayor of this
city, and one OF the big insurance men
in he state. and several others.
Byrne Hot, of Greenbrier county, a
successful banker and business man,
and brother of Hon. John H. Holt,
one time Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, is also being considered as a
strong candidate for the place. There
are at least twenty five candidates for
the position.
In the event the position should
seek the man John B. Finley, of Par
kersburg now member of the state
board of regents, might be rendered
the place, although it is doubtful if
Mr.. Finley would give up his extensive
business in his state and in the mid
de West to devote his entire time to
the position as member of the state
board of control. To many the salary
of $4,000 a year is no small sum and
would mean much to them in I. finan-
cial way. On the other hand the kind
or man the state must have is one
who is competent to earn more than
that amount in business.
Mr.. Hodges is expected to tender
his resignation at once as a member
of the state board of control. and be-
come effective as soon as the cover
nor will be able to decide upon the
man he wants to take the vacancy.
The legislature will be asked TO
amend the law to make possible Mr..
Hodges eligibility to take the presi-
dency before 1914, which is conceded
to be the case unless the law is
amended, which provided that no
member OF the state board of control
could accept any other appointive posi-
ton until one year had elapsed after
the time to which he was appointed
had expired. 1t is not likely that
either party will have any objections
to amending the law this winter, as
the minority party is the political
faith of Mr. Hodges, and the Republi-
cans have elected him to the position.

STRIKEBREAKERS
 LEAVE THE SHOPS
Thirty Nonunion Men Quit Barring Cross to Seek Employment on the Grand Trunk-Tracks
 Neglected.

Little Rock, Ark, July 21.-That the strike of trainmen on the Grand Trunk system is to have a far reaching effect in railroad circles was demonstrated yesterday when 30 strikebreakers at the Iron Noun tain shops i n Barring Cross took French leave" of the shops and boarded trains for the north. It is said that more will leave today and striking machinists last night were jubilant.
 Coincident with this devoldment at the shops, a well-defined rumor went the rounds of strikers yester- day that conference of engineers and trainmen with officials of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain at St. Louis tomorrow would result in pressure being brought to bear upon the railroad to grant the demands of the strikers. This conference has for purpose far different object, it is said, which employees are not will ing to divulge, but the strikers main tain that it cannot fail to result in anything but advantage to the strik- CTS.
 1t is said that the iron Mountain, partly as result of the machinists strike and partly because of litiga- tion, both state and national, effect ing its earning powers, has adopted a stringent policy of retrenchment and is withdrawing many working along this division of this road. Among those idle as the result of this policy, it is pointed out by the strikers, are section men and repair men. Thus the tracks of the road are not receiving the attention ord inariIy given them.
 Mot only that, said a striker last night, but the strikebreakers in the machine shops are not keeping the engines in proper shape. En- gincers and trainmen are getting restless. With scrap engines run ming over faulty tracks they are afraid of accidents and this matter will be entered into at the meeting in St. Louis Friday"

CANNING TOMATOES
Shipping. Canning and Manufacturing Association Started It's Plant Yes
 terday Afternoon.

Wednesday afternoon of last week Manager J. o. Gates of the Shipping Canning and Manufacturing Associa. ton started the plant on canning to- matoes. The crop is just beginning tc come in and the tomatoes are very fine.
 On the first run that day about SOC cans were packed and the plant was in operation all next day.
 Owing to the fact that the tomato plants were, in many cases, killed out by late frost the acreage to be canned is not nearly as large as was planned but it is expected that probably B, ,00C cans will be put up before the season closes.

Free Sample
 For Baby's Ills

Something can and must be done for the puny, crying baby, for the child that refuses to eat and is rest less in its sleep. And since the basis of all health is the proper working of the digestive organs, look first to the condition of the stomach and bowels.
 child should have two full and free movements of the bowels a day. This emptying of the bowels is very important. as with 1t comes clear head. Q light ness of step good appetite and sound sleep. But it is equally important to know what to give the child in the emergency of constipation and indiges- ton. Cathartics are too strong and salts and other purgatives are not only too strong, but the child refuses them be- cause of their bad taste. Have you ever tried pr. caldweis Syrup Pepsin? It is a liquid tonic that families have been using for a quarter of a century. It is mild. pleasant-tasting and promptly ef- tsctvs It is Ssra good for nosbn ygu as ,sa ws be found for children. They like It's taste you will not have to force them to take it

Later, when convinced of It's merits. you can get 1t of your druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. just as thousands of other families are doing. The family of MT. D. w Spangier of Strattonviiie Pa, as well as that of Mir. IA F. Johnson of Walnut Grove. Tenn. started with 1t in that way and now write that 1t is their one family necessity next to food itself. If you are unfortunate enough to have a sckly child. one given to constipation and indigestion. you should send for a free sample of this remedy.
