Editor County RECORD:
Your scribe has not been forgetful
of his promise to send you some
notes from the mountain country.
But since his mission was, tirst OF
all a quest of health, and any COM
mvnication must needs defer to
that, silence was imposed upon him
by the fact that he had no optimiS-
tie word given him till now Day
before yesterday, my doctor author
lied me to leave my bed in the Mis-
sion Hospital at .Asheville. Be pru-
dent, and, in a month from now
vou will be a sound man"-so he
dismissed me. Within an hour |
had dressed, packed my goods, and
was on my way to Morganton.
After leaving Kingstree, / soiourn-
ed first at Shelby a few days; then
at Morganton, a little over week;
then at Swannanoa, upwards OF two
weeks--from which points l made
excursions to Asheville and Mon
treat, ultimately returning to Ashe-
vile and the hospital for twelve
days.
On my first visit to Asheville, |
met Lille and Belle and Miss
Boyd, who failing to make connec-
ton AT Columbia, reached Asheyille,
early next morning. After they had
breakfasted, Miss Nettie Epps called
to see them, and Mr. Willie Nexsen,
having sought them out, took our
whole party 70 Overlook Park land

the din and dust Of the city they
calmly drinked and iawed' till time
for dinner and the train for Black
Mountain (Montreat). How pleas
ant, afar from home, to meet Il
welcome from familiar voices, and
share the cordial hospitality Of
friends also from the homeland.
And G miN refer to it AGAIN. how
hope-inSpiring amidst the long,
lonely, painful hours in hospital, to
receive calls of sympathy, leaving
behind literature and fruits, and
flowers; and the assurance that we
are not forgotten! Gilbert Epps
was there and his father and Mr.
NexSen and Mr. Bridgman and my
daughters and others by proxy.
My longest stay during summer
was Swannanoa; Il small station
twelve miles east of Asheville. A
smiling valley is there, with knolls
upon which comfortable homesteads
are set, with the greater everlasting
hills around about, but somewhat
withdrawn, the river, shaded by
overtowering trees, babbling swiftly

SOMETHING DOING
AROUND old TRIO.
COUNTY CANDIDATES SPEAK Al
PICNIC--CHAINGANG DOES GOOD
WORK-LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

Crops around here are pretty fair
as compared with some Of the Sec
tions which have visited.
: For once. since it has been estab-
s'fshed, the chaingang has paid US a
visit. We now have a very good
road from Blakeley's to Trio. the
road skirting the G and W from the
former place to this town; also a fair
one to Mr. Nv Graham's place, about
four miles west of here. The chain
gang has certainly done good for US
if it did not get here before. Better
late than never. They could not do
any more for US on account of so
much rain. Call again, Mr. Frierson,
we are glad to see you.
There was 8 picnic given last Fri
day;August 19, at Mr. Archie Gra-
hams place near here and of course
sll present enjoyed themselves. The
county candidates were present and
made speeches, which the people
seemed to enjoy Our county Treas
urer said it was no use to get new
Cook" when you had good one.
This was one of the old-fashioned
picnics for which Williamsburg
county is noted all over the State.
Sorry the editor was not present.
Among the visitors at the picnic, not
including the candidates, were: So
icitor Stoll, Mr. J w Coward, Sheriff
Graham and Mr. P A Al>brook Of
Kingstree; ] T, w E and D 7 Bryan
of Salters; Messrs B A Brown, -
Rose, Miss Rose and Miss Ballingber-
ger of Andrews.
Miss Flossie Weaver, of the Kings
tree section, is visiting the families
of Messrs Graham and Blakeley near
here.
Miss Ulma Crooks of Benson is
here on visit to her sister, Mrs w
T Evans.
Miss - Dennis, of the Csdes sec
tidn, is spending some time with the
fSmily of her uncle, Mr.. W E Gra-
ham.
Mr. j B McCants, of this place, has
= gone to Petersburg. Va, on visit
10 his sons, George and Charley, who
now make the Virginia city their
home.
Mr. Leroy Morris, formerly of
this place, but now of Waycross,
Ga, is at home for a few days on
visit to his parents, MIR and Mrs
Frank Morris. Glad to see you Roy
Mrs Frank Welch, now of Way
cross, Ga, has returned to her home
after a prolonged visit to her daugh-
ter here, Mrs A Gamble.
County Constable Bryan was here
last Friday looking after the blind
tigers, but methinks he failed to
find den.
Postmaster ] B Files has gone on
q visit to his former home at Jack
sonville, N c.
MrJW Register, our r F D driver,
is on a visit to his aged mother at
Rose Hill, N C. We surely miss his
smiling face.
Mr. and Mrs Waldron of Andrews
spent while here last Friday, visit
ing Mrs Waldron's brother and sis
ter, Mr. T G Mcdonald and Mrs w
E Graham.
Mr. Norwood Register of George
town is here on visit to his father,

Mr. and Mrs E L Powell have re-
turned from vacation of ten days
on Pawley's Island.
Messrs Bryan and Register are
having the sidewalk from the Gra-
ham bridge to the depot put in first

Retain a good Official.

]. A. McMorris has made
good with the taxpayers of
Gillian County.
Looking at things from a
business like standpoint in con-
nection with a business propo-
sition. there is no good reason
why a change should be made
in the County Treasurer's Office.
Mr.. McMorris has without ex-
ception given the county the
best service ever given by q
treasurer. He has given the
office his personal attention and
will continue to do so If again
elected. This alone means
more to the taxpayers than can
be estimated. He has savd the
county hundreds of dollars in in
terest by keeping all warrants
called in. He has never dis
counted a warrant. He has in
volved a system of bookkeeping
by which any person may on a
moments notice find out every
thing he desires to know con-
corning the county's finances.
He will, if elected, continue to
keep the affairs of the office in
the thorough, efficient and bus
iness-like way he has been do
ing. The business man will not
discharge a good man in his en-
ploy to experiment on q new
and untried man. So it should
be with the taxpayers who are
directly interested in the financ-
ial affairs of the county. Don't
experiment with a new man
when the old one has delivered
the goods and served you so
satisfactorily, and you know he
will continue to do so. A vote
for John McMorris means sn ap-
l-roval of through business
methods and conscientious ad-
ministration of the taxpayers
affairs.

DEMAND FOR NORMAL TRAINED
TEACHERS.

The report Of the Country Life
Commission awakened interest in the
rural schools.
1t is one of the most important rec.
concentrations Of that commission that
the country school be made a better
school. No longer can the boy or
girl who has managed to pass an ex-
animation in the fundamental" Sc
cure a teachers certificate and Sc.
cure a school for the asking. Today
the people in the country schools are
asking for the best teachers, teachers
well trained, and we'll and broadly

Tuesday next will decide
whether the people of Oregon
wish to retain the progressive
system of government they have
enjoyed or whether they have
tired of it and wish to go back
to the convention system with
all its graft, boss rule and serv-
ice of the special interests. We
believe that the people are alive
to their interests and will de-
cisively show the politicians who
fostered the assembly idea that
they are well satisfied with the
present system and do not care
to go back to conditions that ex-
listed before the primary law
came into effect. Oswald West
is a man who has shown during
his public career that he is a
champion of the peoples rights
and is the kind of a man who is
most capable of those running to
be elected to the office. We will
admit that he is not the public
speaker our esteemed contemp-
orary seems to want him to be,
but what he lacks in oratorical
ability, he more than makes up
by ability in the line of business,
honesty and a record that COM
mands the admiration and sup
port of all who put the welfare
OF their state before all other
questions in the exercise of their
suffrage. Gillian County voters
should put the good of the
State of Oregon above mere
sentiment of local pride.

MISREPRESENTATION con.
REcTED.

Misleading statements made to in
fuence public opinion, ought not to
go unanswered. Public welfare dc
mands truth and facts.
A statement has lately gained cur.
rency that Zone Normal School" of
Oregon graduated its seniors at q cost
Of $l2.500 each. It Is stated by some
who seek to excuse or apologize for
the statement that the ways and
means committee OF the Legislature
at the session OF 1903 30 reported
and that the late Normal school at
Drain is the one referred to. But
this statement was not true of Drain
and never could be true.
The year referred to Drain gradu-
ated three seniors and the entire
fund that year at the disposal OF the
institution was 1880. II Drain Nor.
NAL did nothing else than education
these three, the cost of each would
be $3.50.
The fact is President Dempster that
year planned to graduate no class at
all with a view to raising the course
OF study to conform with the course
OF other states. The graduates came
from some four-year high schools and
were graduated as q mere incident.
Succeeding years showed the good ei-
feet OF Mr.. Dempster's policy. The
$3.50 was used in developing a stu.
dent body of more than a hundred.
These three graduates cost no more
than 5000 each, and the average cost
OF each of the Oregon Normal Schools
has been $210.
It is unbelievable that men will
state that the average cost of gradu-
ates of Normal schools La S12,5OO,
when It has never been greater than
3216.

virtue of appointment by the
governor, is recognized all over
the state as a .young man who
has =" made good" in public
service. This recognition he
has attained by the aggressive
spirit he displays in taking up
any work that may be assigned
him. Where many others in
official position would have been
content to let affairs drift along
in well worn ruts and in accord
ance with out of da.e customs.
he has been prompt and persist
ent in effort to establish a better
order of things. Because he
found practices in force was not
the slightest reason why he
should continue them. If they
were good, very well: but if not
good, they must make way for
the better. Whether the desir-
able thing can be done he seldom,
if ever, stops to enquire. He
proceeds upon the theory that a
thing can't be done without
trying and he makes the effort.
Everybody told him he couldn't
secure convictions in the state
land fraud cases, and he didn't
but he made a try at it and at
least bought to light the facts
as to the manner in which the
state lands had been purchased.
The only reason he didn't secure
convictions was that the GRIM
inal laws did not cover the
violations of the land laws. His
aggresivness disclosed the laxity
of the criminal laws.
The Mail believes that Oregon
is entitled to a Republican ad-
if it can be had
without dishonor, but if it be
necessary to blacken the charac-
ter and belittle the achieve
ments of a man like Os. West to
bring this about, then pass it
up. The game is not worth the
"A mans q man for
a. that" and the magic of
party name is not what it once
was.
The electors in this day and
age are voting for the man, not
the party tag on his hat.

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
u 10 an Essential Part Of the Great
Game Of Baseball.

u 10 an Essential Part Of the Great
Game ei Baseball.
According to bleacher law, there are
three particularly justinable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killed-nrst. II he sees
nt TO adhere to the rules and make q
decision against the homo team at q
close point In the game; second, an
umpire may be killed II be sends q
member Of the home team TO the bench
when the player In question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names aud attempt to bite his ear OF
ian umpire hns no business 60 be
touchyl; third land this IL q perfect
defense against the charge OF murder,.
an umpire may be killed II he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That tho
balls 90 straight over the plats has
nothing to do with the case.
There Is ample proof at hand TO
show that killing the umpire ts q dis.
tinctlvely American sport. Other coun,
tries have tried baseball. but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That h
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball.
for baseball without umpire killing 10
like football without girls In the grand
stand. II simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king Of outdoor sports was indi
Gated forcibly when In the fall Of 1900
the Detroit team made q trip to Cuba
under the management Of 0utfelder
Mcintyre. 10 the entire series OF
twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares Mines not one single OBJ
lection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to a decision Of the umpirea The
Americans did not know what to think
OF it-until they counted up the gate
receipts at the end Of the serieA Then
they realized that In their own country

Condor, Ore: Oct. 81, 1910.
Editor of the Condor Globe

Condor, Ore: Oct. 81, 1910.
Editor of the Condor Globe
saw from the Condor Globe
and the Condor Times, an article
showing that Henry Thiessen is
a land owner in Gillian County,
and for that reason is not dis
qnalified to act as county judge.
In addition to this, /, as a voter
would like to add a few words.
In order for a man to make a
good county Judge and serve all
people alike he musthave certain
qualifications. First, he must
be what is today called a live
man. Second, he must have an
abundance of energy. Third,
he must be a thorough business
man. Fourth, he must be hon.
est, fair and impartial and as
an official not favor any clique
or clan.
Mr.. Theissen possesses these
qualifications. He'is young, full
of life and a hustler which is
observed by every man who
knows him. He is tireless and
full of energy and does not poss-
ess a lazy trait. Go to the office
of the B. & G. Company and
you are shown every courtesy by
Mr.. Thiessen and heis ready to
do business with you at a mom-
ents notice. This last nameb
trait in itself is indispensable to
the making of a good county
judge. He is honest, fair and
impartial in transactions where
he might be otherwise. AS !
have had occasion to do bus
mess with him in circumstances
in which he might have favored
a friend, but duty to right and
justice made him do the fair
thing. Factionalism could have
been considered by him but he
would not let business swerve
him from the path of duty. A.
mother consideration is that he
has never before held a public
Office, has been a good citizen
andis the father of a family.
For these reas5ns and many
others I think Henry Thiesson
will make an ideal county Judge
and one that the county should

Huttons.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole, two inven
tions which may fairly be regarded a.
important, since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but.
ton was wholly a product of needle
work, which was soon improved by the
use Of wooden mold. The brass but.
ton is said to have been introduced By
q Birmingham merchant In 1880. II
took 200 years to improve on the meth.
cd of sewing the cloth upon the cover
ed button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea of making the but.
ton in two parts and clamping them
together with the cloth between.

The following editorial from
the Stayton Mail expresses the
thoughts of the Globe Editor ex-
actly and voices an opinion re-
garding the mud throwing now
being indulged in by the assem-
bly, organs. In its feeble wey
The Mail has been trying to
support the Republican ticket.
However, this paper does not
endorse the dirty politics being
played by some politicians and
papers of the state, notably the
Oregonian. At a loss for sub
stantial material with which to
oppose Oswald West, the DEM
Oeratic candidate for Governor,
the Oregonian is seeking by in
uendo and covert insinuation to
convey the impression that West
has been friendly with the rail-
roads and would be a creature
Of the corpora tions if elected
chief executive of the state.
That West has not made good
as railroad commissioner will
not go down with the thousands
of farmers and small business
men over the state who are
benefiting from. the reduced
freight and express rates Sc
cured by Vests persistence and
courage The editor of The Mail
for three years was in close
touch with the work of the rail-
road commission and during
that time became intimately a.
quainted with Mr.. West. Dur
Ing that period he acquired a
wholesome respect and regard
for the commission and learned
to have the utmost confidence in
the integrity and ability of Mr..
West. By throwing mud, the
Oregonian admits the weakness
of its own case and the strength
of Mr.. West. Only two years
ago, before West was thought of
as a candidate for the governor
ship, the 0regonian discussed
Mr.. West in part in an editorial
which makes instructive reading
in the light of its present attit-
ude. Here is the Oregonjan
