By WALTER HARPER

c. w. Ashcraft, mayor of Florence and one of the large manufacturers of north Alabama, was born and reared in Clay county, this state.
 He came up in the days when Clay county had no railroad and when that was considered one of the lockwood coun- ties of the state. Among his neighbors were Sister Freshous, Sister Green and the other wholesome characters of Betsy Hamilton's vivid imagination.
 Those who have read Betsys rolicking and true-to-nature sketches of early-day life in Clay and Talladega counties can have some idea of the neighborhood at mosphere in which young Ashcraft was reared.

Don't Represent the Farmers.

Three men, comprising the leg
islative committee of the Nation
al Grange, and assuming to speak
for that organization, have is
sued a protest against the ratifi-
cation of the reciprocity treaty
with { anada. Stating that every
member of the grange will be
asked TO uphold the committee
Two of these men, N. J. Bache-
Tor of Concord, N. H., and Aaron
Jones, of Indiana, are rank
standpatters. Their policies and
leadership have been repudiated
by five progressive grange states
that contain more than twothirds
of the total membership Of the
organization, which is probably
half a million. The extent of
the protest against their leader
ship, and the real feelings Of the
farmers throughout the country,
is indicated by the fact that the
membership of the grange has
declined nearly half during their
regime. Thew are either actual
ly under the control of the in
terests" or woefully ignorant of
the demands of the times and
the necessities of the people they
assume to represent. They hold
to the repudiated standpat high
protective tariff.
The excuse they offer for de-
feat of the treaty is that while
admitting some foodstufs free
and greatly reducing the duties
on other, manufactured goods
remains at the same old rites.
This is a flimsy preteXt which
will not deceive the farmer.
The treaty is but an entering
wedge that will be followed By
a radical revision downward by
the coming Democratic congress.
Men like Bachelor and Jones,
and the trusts and combines and
protected monopolies they stand
for, dread the breach that the
treaty is bound to make in the
high protection wall. They know
that it presages the demolition OF
the structure, behind which the

By taking Gilmer and BraXton
counties from this congressional
district, and adding on Putnam
and Mason, as proposed in the
new re- districting bill, would kill
all chances Of a Democrat ever
being elected in this district, as
the proposed bill is now, there
would only be a fighting chance
for the election of two Democrat

Legislature Will Adjourn Friday.

LSSiSidtulC WIN AuJUuIu rIludf.
Friday will end the 1911
session of the ". Va. Legis-
lature and il is not likely
that there will be an extra
session.
The appropriation bill in
troduced in the Senate last
Friday is a fair one, and a
redemption of a Democratic
pledge the pledge of econ
omy. While not niggardly
the bill gives a foretasCe of
Democratic financing and
Democratic economy. 1t
will mean a total saving of
over a third of a million
dollars to the taxpayers of
West Virginia, compared
with the appropriations of
the last Republican admins
tration.
A law was enacted in
creasing the pay of teachers
as follows, No. 1, $50 No. 2,
$40 and NO. 3, $50 per
month.
The Jim crow law was
defeated in the House but
an effort is now being made
to reconsider it.
The income tax amend
ment to the federal constitu-
ton was defeated in the
Senate, II to Is.
Two proposed redistrict-
ing bills are before the
House, the judicial and con-
gressional. Under the judi
cial bill Calhoun, Richie
and Gilmer will form a dis
trict. The Congressional
bill cuts Gilmer and Braxton
off and puts Mason and
Putnam on the fourth dis
trict, changing it's number to
the second. 1t is our opin-
ion however, that the latter
bill will notpass. The Dem
ocrats of this county are
strongly opposed to this ger
rymandering, and we are
glad to learn that our repre-
sentative isfghting it. Sen
ator Kidd was called on the
long distance phone Monday
morning, and he stated that
he believed the bill would be
killed in the House, but if it
was not it would be when it
reached the senate.
The tuberculosis bill pass
ed and will become a law.
The state road fund has
been abolished, returning
the money accrued to the
several counties.
