The Automobile Run.

The automobile run from Atlanta to
New York, scheduled to pass through
ShepherdStown last Friday, was not the
spirited and lively journey that went in
the opposite direction last fall. The rain
that the tourists encountered for couple
OF days previous had made some OF the
roads bad and travelling unpleasant, and
was the cause of much delly and NUM-
Der of accidents of minor character.
About half of the tourists reached Win
chester Thursday night, as scheduled,
the others being strung out along the road
south as far as Roanoke The cars be-
gan to pass through ShepherdStown
about three o'clock Friday afternoon.
They were muddy and weather. beaten,
The occupants we're in good spirits,
however-some Of them suSpiciously
hilarious-and they responded cheerfully
to the greetings as they passed the crowds
that watched along Princess street. F.
L. Weltzheimer had big red peony for
each car, and there was lively struggling
for the flowers. There were a number
of women in the cars and few children.
OF the seventy cars that were in the run,
about half went through on Friday, the
others struggling along on Saturday and
Sunday. One OF the cars broke down
near ShepherdStown and the occupants
were held up two days until repairs ar
rived Most of the cars had trouble on
Douglas hill, opposite town, where the
Maryland road-makers had put a fine
top-dressing of clay upon the road, which
the rain converted into sticky mass
through which the automobiles could
scarcely plow their way. About sixty OF
the cars finally gotto New York on Mon
day or Tuesday. Several became dis
couraged and turned back this side of
Gettysburg.

In the Circuit Court.

III tie SiTSuft Nouit'
In the Circuit Court on Tuesday Judge
E. Boyd Faulkner rendered his decision
in the case of Thos. r. Moore against
Charles D. Wysong, deciding in favor OF
Mr.. Wysong. Mr. Moore, who is chair
man of the Democratic executive commit
tee of this county, sued Mr., WySong for
campaign assessment that the committee
had levied upon the latter. Mr.. Wysong
was candidate for sheriff in 1908. He
paid the assessment levied by the COM
mittee upon all candidates before the pri-
mary election. Before the November
election the committee levied another as
sessment upon the candidates who had
been successful at the primaries. Mr..
Wysong refused tocpay this last assess
ment, on the ground that it was excessive,
a tender TO pay part OF the amount asked
being refused by Mr.. Moore. After the
election Mr.. Moore brought suit against
Mr.. Wysong before Magistrate Gallaher
in Charles Town to recover the amount
of the assessment. Mr.. Moore won, and
Mr.. Wysong appealed to the Circuit
Court. The case was tried in Judge
Faulkner'S court several weeks ago, but
was taken from the jury on demurrer to
the evidence. Tuesday Judge Faulkner
rendered his decision in favor of Mr.. Wy
song, in which he showed that the exec
utive committee had no power to levy an
arbitrary assessment of this sort and that
there was no law compelling Mr.. Wysong
to pay it.
Much interest has been manifested in
this case, as many persons have been
anxious to know just how far political
committees can 90 in making such assess
| mentS.
In the suit of Shipley'S administrator
against the County Court OF Jefferson, the
jury awarded verdict in favor OF the
plaintiff for $1,000 damages. Counsel for
the county court demured to the evidence
and Judge Faulkner has not yet rendered
a decision upon the demurrer. This suit
was brought to recover damages from the
county for the death of Melvin Shipley,
OF Shepherdstown, who was killed when
a traction engine went through a bridge
oyer public road near Kabletown sever
al years ago.
The trial OF J. W. Cornell, formerly OF
this place, for serious crime against two
girls, is set for today.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation Car
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ter
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

Doesn,t Like tine New system.


The Jefferson County Court it seems,
doesn't approve of the new system OF
bookkeeping recommended by the State
authorities. At session of the court last
week, in the matter OF the purchase OF
new books and the changing OF the pres
ent system OF keeping the sheriff's &C
counts with the county, to conform to the
new system as outlined on advance sheets
received by the court from the State Tax
Commissioner office at Charleston, the
court expressed serious doubt as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of making such change. The
present system with which the court, the
sheriff, the clerk, in fact each and every
county official, is familiar, is, in the opln-
ion OF the court, clear, practical, ample
and sufficient for all business purposes.
There was levied against the tax payers
OF this county last year 1909 an item OF
81 900, TO satisfy claims OF publishing
house located outside OF the county and
State for new books OF eXtraVagant flnlSh
and binding, required under the so-caIled
uniform system OF accounting. lnaS-
much as little, if any, Ase is now being
made of these books by those OF Our
county officers into, whose offices the
books were directed, on occount OF their
absolute unfitnesS as books OF re cord, the
court desired to place itself on record as
being opposed to any such further waste
of tine money OF the taxpayers OF this
county. The clerk was also directed not
to purchase any new books, or make any
change in the present system OF keeping
accounts, without the order OF court.

ANOTHER wonderful feat in aviation
was performed on Monday, when Charles
K. Hamilton flew from New York to Phil
adelphia, distance of Sc miles, in 10
minutes. He started from New York at
TAB a. M, and followed the line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, flying over towns
and cities, river and hills, keeping ahead
of one of the fastest trains on the railroad
and playing with it as he wished. He
landed safely in Philadelphia at half past
nine O'Clock amid the shouts OF $4,000
persons who were waiting to greet him.
In the afternoon Hamilton returned to
New York, but had little engine trou-
bic that delayed him for time, but he
made the round trip in ample time to win
the prize of $4,000 that had been offered
ior a successful flight from New York to
Philadelphia and return.
The airship seems to have come at last
and come to stay.

THE suggestion that Mr.. VIM. H. VIII
son be made the Democratic nominee for
Congress from this district has been very
favorably received. There is belief that
he would make the strongest antagonist
against Mr.. Sturgiss who could be put up.
He would have the united support of the
party and help from Democrats all over
the country. We know of no one who
would "take" better than Mr.. Wilson just
now, when the whole country is indig-
nant at the robbery of the people by the
Aldrich tariff law If the Democrats OF
this district are wise, they will realize that
the logical candidate for Congress this
year is Mr.. Wilson.
