william II Wilson For Congress.

We have been authorized to announce
Mr. William Huntington Wilson. of
Charles Town. AS a candidate for Con-
gress in this district. MIR Wilson is a
well-knowu attorney of the Jefferson
bar, and the eldest son of the late Post
master General William L Wilson. The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS was fromthe
center of the district. the last nominee
from the southern end of the district. and
the present Congressman IS from fhe
western section-so that if there is any
thing in geographical location in this
matter we in the Eastern Panhandle
might be entitled TO 1t. But we advo-
cate the nomination of Mr. Wilson on a
much higher plane than this. He is not
only one of the brainiest young men in
the State, thoroughly indoctnated with
the true Jeffersonian principles of De
mocracy, but in addition to his mental
powers he is also possessed of the physi-
cal ability to make a stir ng campaign,
and the Republican nominee, whoever
he may be, would find in him a foeman
worthy of his steel. In the name of the
sturdy Democracy of old Jefferson. who
have never tagged in the fight, we pre-
sent the name of William Huntington
Wilson, and urge his nomination at the
coming Moorefeld Convention. assuring
the Democrats OF the Second West Vir.
ginia District that in HIM they will find
an able and courageous standard bearer
of whom they need not be ashamed, and
who will roll mp IN November next &
majority that will entltle him to a seat in
the next House of Representatives. where
he will represent them with fidelity and
ability.

What Boy Ecer Lived That Wouldn't go an
See the Circus Unload, an Essentially
Children's Ehop.


There is nothing that recalls a
mans boyhood days more wildly than
the circus. 1t is trite saying that many
fathers are mighty glad that the taking
of their children gives an excuse to at
tend al the ciTeuses that come to the
city, but there are lot of the men who
are not ashamed of the fact that they are
merely boys grown up. and go to the
circuses because they enjoy them. The
odor of the animals and sawdust brings
back The days when, knowing the circus
was coming. they would get up before
daylight. not TO see the big vans unload
ed from the trains, for circuses did not
travel by railway those days, but TO walk
out in the country few miles to meet
the caravans which travelled overland
from town to town. TO walk into town
besideth elephant was the greatest fun
imaginable There was not as much to
the average circus then as there is today.
but there was plenty for all to see. and
the boy who was not permitted to at least
hang around the show grounds was in
deed in bad luck"
The children will be delighted with
the miniature menagerie, with boy train
ers, drivers and caretakers.

The Kanawha bar is again stirring up
the old proposition about doing away
with the Wheeling and Charles Town
terms of the Supreme Court of Appeals
and to have Charleston as the sole place
of meeting. This comes to Charles
Town at very inopportune time. JEFF
ferson county has spent hundreds of dol
lars to establish and keep up law IL
brary in this county, and is just now
erecting large addition to the court
house here. in which will be a hand
somely fitted up and commodious law
library room. We have no doubt the
one place arrangement would be very
convenient TO the Charleston lawyers
and those south of that city; but how
about the rest of the State2 If it is pro-
posed to be made more convenient for
some. we propose that it be made more
Central for all. and that the State capital
be moved to the thriving city of Elkins
in-the county of Randolph.

We regret to note that our good friend
Musser, of the Shepherdstown Indepen-
dent, allows the use of his paper-both
outside and nside-pesumaby editorial,
to attack the proposition of establishing
a public hltching yard IN Charles Town
This city has a valuable lot which it
might, if our county people who attend
conrt, sit on jnries, etc. desire it, be
willing TO have utilized for a hitching
yard. But If the bitter writer of the In
dependent articles should be one of those
who walks ten miles to town to court
to save horse feed. comes barefooted to
save sole leather. and carries his smack"
in his coat pocket to keep from spending
a dime with the restaurant man: then OF
course he don't want a hitching yard by
any means.

Our Boys In Gray.

BY W. H. W.
Up the village street.
To the measured beat
OF drum.
They come.
Cheers and Murray! for the boys in gray,
Who laughed in the face of the flercest fray,
And won fame that shall live for aye
Cheers and murray.
Oh, the battles they fought and the battles
they won,
In winters cold and in summers sun,
With lips that jested and lips that sung.
For their blood was warm and their hearts
were young.
Up and away.
Cheer and hurrayl
For the bright-eyed. dark haired boys in
gray.
That was long ago;
Now the step is slow
And the eyes are dimmed by the passing
years,
And heads as gray
AS the coats that they
Wore in the pride of their yesterday.
Cheer them! Hurray!
Cheer them and pray
God bless you. God keep you! our Boys
in Gray.
Never before in the old worlds history.
Never again in the futures mystery,
Shall men be men as you wrote their story
In deeds of matchless and deathless glory,
Triumph and pain.
Hats off and cheer

Circuit Court.

The Jefferson County Circuit Court
convened in Charles Town on Tuesday
with prospects for very short term.
Judge Faulkner in rendering his charge
to the grand jury, called their special
attention to violations of the liquor law,
and also to the law against carrying
concealed weapons. The following
composed the grand jury: J. H. Dut-
terer, foreman, Geo. W. NARROW, Geo.
ohull, A. o. Davis, L. M. Porter, John
Foley, William Engle, w. E. Osbourn,
W. 7. McQuilkin, Chas. b. Vanmetre,
Chas. H. johnson, C. W. Henshaw,
John L. Burns, VIM. Wilt, George D.
Baumgardner, Jos. L. Walper.
Only two indictments were reported.
One of these was on felony charge
against Howard Newman, colored, who
assaulted N. & W. Railway freight
conductor last summer at the Charles
Town station, and the other, against
JOS. BARLEY, white, who was charged
with theft at MilIville. The latter in
dictment was also tor felony. Both of
the indicted men were out of the juris-
diction of the court almost all the time
since the alleged crimes were commit
ted.
The first jury trial was the case of
L. R. Moore, Chairman of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of this
county. against Sheriff C. D. Wysong,
for the alleged non-payment of bal
ance of $50 on an assessment placed
upon him by the Executive Committee
of the county when he was a nominee
for Sheriff in 1908. Payment of the
full amount assessed was refused on
the ground that 1t was excessive in the
judgement of the defendant After the
evidence was adduced, counsel agreed
to take verdict for $87.45, the amount
claimed with interest, subject to the
decision of the Court on the law COW
ering the case.
An old indictment against w. H. Mil
Ter, with technical defect, was nollied,
another having been substituted in its
stead
Three suits brought by theShenandoah
Valley Bank of Winchester, one each
against Ben Brady, Logan Magaha and
Edmonia Coins, and growing out of
transactions leading up to the Miller
indictment, were dismissed from the
docket, the claims on which they were
based having been satisfied.
Thirty days after the adjournment
of Court were allowed the defendant
in the case of N. w. Busey VS.. c. E.
Bushong, to prepare special pleas to
the declaration the of plaintiff.
A verdict for $IS.oI was gwen George
E. Athey in an action against Mrs. Nary
c. Licklider whose tenant the plaintiff
was for year or two until April l. 1908.
The case grew out of contract about
a division of the profits of a flock of
sheep owned by Mrs. Licklider. and
which were cared for by the plaintiff
during his tenantcy.
Judge Faulkner ruled on the demurrer
to the evidence in the case of Jenkins
versus the Standard Lime
and Stone Company. sustaining the
demurrer 1t will be recalled that this
was an action tor damages against the
Standard Company as the result OF an
explosion of dynamite at the Millv;lle
luarries, by which Jenkins lost his life.
A jury at previous term of the court
lad awarded his administrator verdict
or $4,000. The effect of the courts ruling
5 to nullify the verdict of the jury.
Court adjourned on Saturday to lune s. |
