Mrs. Dandrldge's Books.

Mrs. Danske cambridge has but one
COPY left of her first historical book,
George Michael Bedinger," published
in 1909. Of "Historic Shepherdstown,"
published last September, she still has a
few copies which are sold at ST so.
Her new book, American Prisoners
of the Revolution" is selling well. II
contains 504 pages, and retails at $3.50.
This book has been extensively and ia
vorably reviewed by such periodicals as
the Boston Transcript, the Brooklyn Ea-
gle, the New York Times and the Balti-
more Sun. 1t contains much information
and names of over 5000 prisoners. Ii
also follows the fortunes OF Captain Shep-
herd and his Company OF Riflemen,
raised in this county in the summer OF
l776, nearly all OF whom persisted in
prison.
Mrs. cambridge is now engaged on
book TO be called est. Glars Campaign
of 179l," which should be of great in
terest to residents of this county. 1t
describes the gallant conduct of the Viz
ginia Battalion, many of them from Shep-
herdstown and its neighborhood, and
gives sketches of Colonel William Darke,
Captain VanSwearingen, Lieutenant Raj
eigh Morgan, Ensign Glenn, and many
other officers from old Berkeley. 1t de-
scribes the charge of the brave three hum
bred, "mostly Vlrginians," under Darke,
who fought against overwhelming num-
bers of Savages until only thirty were left
standing, when, at the command OF their
leader, this little remnant charged again.
This book will be published early in the
winter OF l9ll-l2. In the preparation Of
this book Mrs. cambridge solicits the
help OF all who may have materials bear
ing on the subject.

In their stead, we have literary SocietleS

BALTIMORE has had real sensation
this week in the uncovering of the raS-
cality practiced at the recent Democratic
primary election. Tom McNulty, can
didate for sheriff who was apparently de-
feated by his opponent, found out that he
had been double-croSSed, and he carried
the matter into court. A count OF the
ballots showed the most astounding fraud.
In one precinct where not one vote was
counted for McNulty, forty ballots had
been cast for him, and other candidates
had been similarly cheated out OF votes
by the gang that controls Baltimore poll
tics. A recount of the whole city will be
made, and Jail doors are yawning.

Progressive Shepherdstown.

II has been the habit of some of the
complaisant citizens of the county seat to
refer good naturally to Our neighboring
municipality Sleepy ShepherdStown,"
and in like terms to put it down as 3 "fin-
iShed town"
Let us-introspectively-see if such
implied criticisms are quite just.
ShepherdStoWn is moving for an abun-
dant supply of pure water, and the dread
OF typhoid no longer menaceS its citizens.
II is now preparing TO install sewer
age system, great advance in sanitation.
Ii has an excellent lighting system.
Thanks TO the good women of the town
and neighborhood, il has civic better
ment organization, which provides la
dies resting place for out-of-town shop
perS, and which has done much other
wise to awaken a spirit OF town pride, as
evidenced by the care OF front yards as
well as back, the identifying OF the town
by encouraging flower planting and the
care of trees.
II has already had homecoming, a
success from social as well as buSi-
ness standpoint.
t has in the Morgan's Grove fair the
county event OF the year, TO bring the
good people of Jefferson together and in
touch with theirneighbors, and incidentally
TO draw trade to the town and to adver-
tiSe it TO the world.
1t has for years had modern, well
equipped public school building, and so
well ndIconveniently located that parents
do not live in dread of their children
being MANNED or killed by the railroad on
their daily journey TO school.
Its citizens are agitating the question
OF holding an apple carnival to draw at
tention TO one of the county'S great and
most promising industries.
Her streets and the roads in the vicin-
age are models of what good roads should
be.
But, enough has been said to acquit
our good neighbor of the charge of being
behind the times. Let us see to ii that
Charles Town does not lag behind in the
march OF civic rogreSS.-ChGrLeS Town
Free Press.
We appreciate this complimentary ref
erence to Shepherdstown from our
neighbor, the Free Press. We have
other good things that might have been
referred to, which, while not enterprises
OF the people themselves, are OF great
advantage to the community-Shepherd
College State Normal School, with its
excellent courses of study and beautiful
surroundings; the handsome and conven-
lent new railroad station so well located.
Our fine system of sidewalks, too, is re-
garded as one of the best of any of the
towns OF the valley, and we have other
advantages that make Shepherdstown an
unusually charming country town.

WHILE the newspapers give glowing
accounts of the Presidents trip through
the West, inside information is to tile eff
feet that he is not making much Of hit,
outside of the natural and proper respect
that is due the President and the ordinary
curiosity that causes people to wish to see
fhe chief ruler of the land. Politically he
is not gaining any of the ground that he
has lost. The people believe that his We
toes OF the tariff bills were in direct OPP
position TO their welfare, and even the
voters Of his own party have no enthu-
siasm for the man whose speeches are
chiefly apologies for those vetoes instead
OF aggressive, constructive policies and
propositions.

THE President in one of his speeches
the other day expressed strong opposi-
lion TO the recall OF judges. In the same
breath he admitted the necessity OF
changes in the judiciary, and suggested
that the remedy should be in impeach-
ment proceedings. His suggestion does
not meet the necessities OF present con-
ditionS-what is needed is swift and cer-
tain action for relief from intolerable in
justice and not infrequent corruption on
the bench. The President commendS
the jury system-why not, then, apply
tn. same rule in the case of judges under
suspicion, with all the people as jury
men?

AFTER all Of President Taft's work and
worry to get the reciprocity bill through
