What the Committee Expects

ct The democratic state committee
meeting at Petersburg a few weeks ago
had no success in arriving at definite
line OF campaign doctrine. and got out
OF the trouble by instructing a publicity
committee to distribute for campaign con-
sumption the speeches delivered III Con-
gress by democratic and republican in
surgent members.
1t is quite likely that the state sena-
torial muddIe in the Huntington district
will be settled by declaring c. G.. He'd

dry faction when dual conventions
were held and two nominations made.
Charles Wesley Swisher, accepted as
the official republican fixer. has been try
ing his hand at adjusting the troubles
of his party in Marion, his former home
county, and hopes to get results. Marion
has two republican county committees
and two separate tickets. The county Is
conceded to the democrats in any event.
There are two committees also claim

turned down by the state committee a
month ago Is dying a lingering death.
However, the trouble melted there will
not end so easily.

cans do not consider him so strong as
Miller, and have little doubt of electing
Hearne. a Scott leader, for the district Is
normally republican.

Conservation Not an Issue.

West Virginia has no interest in con-
servation, which at the present seems to
be the political question of the moment
The republicans are dumfounded by the
attempt to eliminate the old guard, be-
cause Senators Elkins and Scott are of
that element. All West Virginia's repre-
sentatives supported Cannon. and Gaines
won his denomination because of his
championship of Uncle Joe, or in spite
of ii. less than two months ago. The
change in popular sentiment has been as
sudden as surprising. And the bumpings
administered TO Burrows. Aldrich, Can
non, ct al, have relevantly thrown cold
water on the high tariff cry, which re-
publicans intended to make and confident
ly hoped would be a winning argument
this fall. With Roosevelt and President
Taft committed to an early revision. or so
understood to be. and with the rapid de-
organizations in the states beyond, the

received general Endorsement, but with

county teachers Institutes are going on
record for a natural gas tax, specifying,
however, that half OF the proceeds so
derived shall go into the general school
fund.

Elkins Skaters Prejudice.

Social reasons, perhaps, should have no
place in politics but IL is of some inter-
est to contemplate that Senator Elkins'
desire to succeed himself in the Senate
would be seriously hampered In the event
of a union of his family with the Italian
nobility There has been considerable
gossip in West Virginia on this topic,
WITH that conclusion. The senator's ener-
getic denial of the rumored marriage of
his daughter to I he Duke of Abruzzi
made from his home a few days ago
shattered a prejudice that was being built
up against him.
Friends of Senator Scott say that soon
after his return from Europe he will an
nounce that he will not be a candidate to
succeed himself as republican national
committeeman for West Virginia. With
the way things are shaping themselves
for 1912 there Is going to be lively
struggle for the states delegation to the
national convention. Unless his admin
istration Is more popqlsrized In the mean
time Taft will have much trouble In
duplicating his former comparatively easy
road in this state.

Special CORRESPONDENCE OF The Star
WINCHESTER, Va, September 10. 1910.
Something of a sensation developed at
Harrisonburg yesterday, when the board
of supervisors of Rockingham county
decided to employ an expert accountant
to examine the books of County Treas
urer Z. w. Carpenter. 1t is said that
Mr.. Carpenter is financially embarrassed
to some extent. due, principally, to his
leniency and the fact that he has paid
the taxes of some people who have not
reimbursed him. About a week ago
the state auditor called for a settlement
| so far as the state was concerned, and
Mr.. Carpenter forwarded the necessary
amount, executing a deed of trust on his
property to the extent of $4,000.
| If the accountant finds that Mr.. Car
penter owes the county money II is
generally believed that he will succeed
in making a satisfactory settlement. He
| is bonded in the sum of 100000, and
| the American Bonding Company has
been notified of the action taken by the
| supervisors. Mr. Carpenter is one of
| the most prominent residents of the
| Shenandoah valley, and has been a lead
/ ing rSure in democratic politics in this
section of the state for a number of
years. being a member of the state CEN
| trail committee from the seventh con-
| gressional district. Many of his friends
are said to be rallying to his support.
Deadlocked Over Apples.
A deadlock between the apple buyers
| and growers continues in this section
of the state. and SO far there has been
no sale of the red apples by the BARREL
although a few small orchards have been
sold in bulk. At this time last year
practically every orchard in the county
had been sold, and northern, western
and eastern buyers were making ar
rangementS to ship the fruit to the
large commercial centers in this country
and Europe. 1t was stated this after
noon that unless the growers and in
tending purchasers come to terms very
and pack the fruit and place it In cold
storage. The buyers claim they lost
money by paying high prices last year,
and wish to make up their losses by
buying the apples cheaper.
A large meeting of the fruit growers
of Frederick, Clarke, Berkeley, Jeffer-
son and Morgan counties, composing the
Virginias Fruit Exchange, met at Mar
tinsburg this afternoon and took steps
toward laying a formal complaint with
the interstate commerce commission at
Washington, alleging that the railroads
are discriminating in the matter of
commercial centers. Attention was called
to the fact that the railroads are giving
New York state apple growers a cheaper
rate as far south as Memphis, Tenn,
than the fruit men Of this section are
called upon to pay.

WHEELING, w. Va,
September 10, 1910
For the purpose of getting a line on
things and Strengthening out family
troubles as far as possible the republican
state committee has been called to meet
next Friday evening" at Parkersburg.
That the committee may have the benefit
of all the light available an invitation
has been extended to the republican edi-
tors of the state, to the various party
candidates and to republicans of high and
low degree.
In the first place, the committee is Of
the opinion that it Is time a start should
be mace in the campaign and that there
should be a starting point. As a mat
ter of fact. the leaders are up in the
air. The same condition is applicable to
the democratic party. but is qualified by
the optimism OF that organization. Hope
and prospect of the offices act as sufficient
incentive for the members of the minority
party. Hence. they are not pining for a
slogan or issue. being content to simply
get on the firing line and shoot ahead.
Nevertheless, the democrats are some
what confused because the republicans
are confused, since the democrats want
to be divided from them by clear align
ment.

Of the Preparatory Trade School, No. S05

we are opposed TO trade schools" said
Mr Mitchell, for the reason that your un-
finished workmen tahe our places in time
Of strife They hold these jobs short time
and then leave them. Give American boys
the benefit OF technical training by all
means Il would make them better work
men. but beyond this il would break down
the artificial barrier between the children
of the rich and the children of the poor.

RESCUED IN STORM.
Crezc of Schooner So0ed after
AH-Night Tigd.

While coming up the coast, about seventy
miles east of the North Carolina shore, the
sailing vessel Rhine came by the water
logged three-nasted schooner j. 8. Hos
kins which had taken cargo OF fertilizer
from Baltimore for Wilmington, n {. The
Hoskins had met with had weather; her
sails had been ripped to shTeds. and heavy
seas pounded into her hold and soaked her
cargo.
The Rhine came within hailins distance
at $50 D. m on February s, and Captain
Bergman signaled the Hoskins to know If
she wanted help. Captain Griffin replied
that he was sinking rapidly and asked to
be taken off at once. He signalled that his
own lifeboat had been smashed by the
storm and asked that the Rhine send out
hoat for him and his six men.
Instantly the mate of the Rhine and four
men put out boat. but it was slapped up
against the sides of the vessel and badly
battered The mate. believing that he could
get to the Hoskins anyhow, started out. but
when he got half way the small boat filed,
and he got back TO the Rhine just before
the small boat went to pieces
It was too dark to take off the men from
the Hoskins that night, but Captain Berg
man stood by, and at midnight got close
enough to tell the skipper that he had
better patch up his own boat and get away
in the morning. Then men on the Hoskns
covered up the cracks with canvas and at
daylight got clear of the wreck. They were
brought here yesterday morning.
