Apologies to Mayor Martin.

Mayor U. S. Martin, if we are to be-
lieve the statement OF his official organ
the Independent, is aggrieved at the pub
LEGATION in the Register last week that the
recent town election was disgraced by
the action of drunken negroes who carried
whiskey about the streets in a suitcase.
He takes il that it spreads broadcast an
opinion that he lacked official activity and
condoned unlawful practices. In offering
our apologies TO the mayor we can truth
fully say that we meant no reflection upon
him. Recognizing,aS we do his ubiqui-
tous vigilance, and believing that ne even
sleeps with one eye open, we neverthe-
less do not pretend TO hold him reSpon-
sble for all violations OF law in Shep-
herdstown. II being election day when
the colored brethren were bearing the
booze around in the suitcase, and May
or Martin being but mortal, he is the last
person that we should suspect OF seeing
such things. We don't blame him for
having failed to observe the travelling bar,
but at the same time we do not think that
he should blame us because we saw it.
AT least five persons in the Register OF
flee saw the performance just as we sta
ted it in our paper Many Others could
have seen it, for "the thing was not done
in a corner" We admit that we declined
to comply with the mayors demand that
we swear out warrant for the arrest OF
the malefactors. The town having Off
GERS who for emolument and in return for
the honors bestowed upon them are in
duty bound to watch for infractions OF
the law, we being merely an humble pri-
vate citizen do not regard it our duty to
act as prosecutor The mayor himself,
we are Informed, declined, a week ortwo
before election, to accede to the request
of member of the Anti-Saioon League
to issue warrant for the arrest Of a col
ored voter who was strongly suspected
of peddling whiskey around in suitcase.
Nobody rushed into print because he re-
fused to do this.
We deeply regret that the editor OF the
Independent intimates that our statement
is not borne out by the facts, or is one
that we do not care to daddy. We can
assure him that the statement is absolute
ly true, even if he didn't see it for him
self. Lots of things happen here that he
doesn't see or hear of. Further, we are
ready to stand sponsor for the facts
though we resolutely decline TO serve as
wet nurse for Mayor Martins cases.

Mr.. Barnhart Was Murdered.

Mr.. Barnhart Was Murdered.
The Register last week announced the
death at Lewisburg, Alabama, OF George
w. Barnhart, native of Shepherdstown.
Later information indicates that Mr.. Barn.
hart was foully murdered, in order that
some life insurance might be collected.
The details are somewhat meagre, but in
a letter written to his sister, Miss Bette
Barnhart, Geo. R. Barnhart, of lndianap-
oils, states that the crime occurred We'd
nesday night week ago. 1t is said that
a man by the name of Charles L. Smith
held policy for 5000 on Mr.. Barnhart's
life. In plot to secure this money,
Smith gave negro SIS to kill Mr.. Barn
hart, who lived alone. The negro called
him to the door of his home at night and
cut his throat from ear to ear. When the
crime was discovered an investigation
was made and three men were arrested
for completely in the deed. The de-
ceased, who was SO years old, has not
been in Shepherdstown for thirty years.
He wrote to his sister here occasionally,
and in letter written last December he
told her that he had had his life insured
in her favor, also telling her to preserve
the letter. He was unmarried. He was
an Odd Fellow, and members OF this or
der buried him near Birmingham. H. L.
Wintermoyer, secretary OF the local lodge,
has written to Mr.. Barnhart's lodge in
Alabama for further information concern
ing the affair.

Business Change.

VIM. p. Licklider, who has been in the
merchandise business in Shepherdstown
for many years. sold his store on Tuesday
to L. w. Thompson and r. H. NJ. Bill
myer, who under the firm name OF
Thompson & BiIlmyer will continue the
business at the old stand along the lines
that have made this one of Shepherds
towns most popular and substantial bus
mess establishments. Mr.. Thompson,
the senior member of the new firm, has
successfully conducted store at Moler's
Cross Roads for several years past, and
Mr. Billmyer is an energetic young man
who was formerly connected with the
Register office. The new firm is worthy
the confidence of the people in every re-
spect and we are sure will do everything
possible to accommodate the trade and
please its customers. They hope to not
only maintain the standard of the store,
but to make Improvements from time to
time.
Mr.. Licklider. who retires from active
business, has been at this store, as clerk
and proprietor, Tor "a years. He has
conducted il on his own account for "a
years. The late @. T. Licklider erected
fhe large building for business and res
idence purposes in 1874. The store was
first conducted by the late Oliver Sherman
with L. E. Etchison as manager. In 1876
Mr.. Sherman failed, and 6. 7. Licklider
continued the store, w. p. Licklider be-
ginning his business career as clerk in his
fathers store. The late g. I. Hodges
bought out Mr.. Licklider in 1880, and in a
year or two moved TO his own building
down town. Mr.. Licklider again started
a store, and in 1888 sold out to B. S.
Pendieton and w. p Licklider. This
firm dissolved partnership in 1886, and
during the "a years since that time Mr.
Licklider has conducted the business on
his own account.
Mr.. Llckllder retlreS rom Inc mercan-
tile business to take well-earned rest
from the combining duties OF his store, and
will give most OF his time to his farm and
orchards. His old friends and customers
will be sorry to see him retire from bus
mess here, for he has been merchant OF
the highest integrity and has kept first
class store in Shepherdstown. His con-
sentative business methods and high
standing as a merchant and citizen have
always been an influence for good in the
community, andhe will be greatly missed
by those who have traded with him for
so long and who have been associated
with him as fellow Storekeepers. We
join with many friends in hoping that he
may enjoy his rest and that the new firm
will fill his place acceptably.

Omaha Man Tells
of Bleached Flour
Baker Saws Trade Wants White Bread
and that Unbleached Article
is Impractical.

KANSAS CITY, June 22.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, In the federal court drew the
line when miller today tried to testify
as to how bakers like bleached flour.
Pierce Butler, chief counsel for the gov
eminent made objection to such testimony
by Albert Edgecomb an Omaha miller. The
judge sustained the objection.
Judge Mcpherson said a miller could not
testify as to how bakers liked the flour
because 1t may have been bleached to hide
inferiority and in that case deception would
exist whether the flour were satisfactory
or not
Shortly after the afternoon session began
w. E. Vodrie, an Omaha baker, testified
that his trade wanted white bread and
that he used unbleached flour some time
ago and had lost money by it. Frank Il.
Roth, a miller of Lincoln, Neb., said his
company had been using a bleaching
machine because there is a demand for
white bread and In order that the flour
might be put on the market shortly after
1t is milled, thus avoiding the long storage
that the natural bleaching process neces-
states.
