Mrs Ella Reeve. Bloor was an in.
terestiog speaker at the band stand in
the puddle square on Tuesday night
aud -ae had very good audience.
Her subject was the principles of the
Socialist party and she showed herself
capable Of the task before her. She is
a good speaker, as most Of the Socialist
speakers are and has convincing and
interesting story. She told the crowd
Of the many ills they are suffering
under the present form of government
how the trusts are laying tribute on all
the working people and how meIciIess-
ly the trusts are grinding the very life
out Of the people. she told them how
the trusts control the government at
Washington and Of great many other
evils from which the people are
suffering and which are making more
socialists every day, but right there
she fell down. Like IA ost Socialists
she is but an aggitaiors stirring the
people over these things but offering
no panacea for the evils "Plans, well
trust The people for the plan to remedy
the evils. Put Socialists on guard
and they will find a PLAN, was her re-
mark,
People ike to know what they are
voting for aud in the language of the
Bard of Avon, "rhey would rather
suffer the ills they now endure than
to fly to those they know not of"
There is unrest and dissatisfaction
among the people and there is cause
for it. The republican party has oeen
in power for more than sixteen years
and during that time they have givep
the trusts full license to plumber the
people in exchange for the campaign
contrlbutins to the party until they
have about bartered all the liberties of
the people away and sold them into
bondage by their desplicable policy of
corruption and fraud at The ballot box.
Yes, it is no wonder the Socialist vote
is growing al each succeeding election.

We have once or twice met former
governor Dawson and actually talked
with the monster and are still alive.
We did not discover that he had hoofs
or horns but there must be something
indescribably ferocious about the EEL
low from what we hear from most
of the members of the present Iegisla-
ture and some of the newspapers of the
state.
We sized up the man as sharp, cum
ming and perhaps not over burdened
with conscience when it comes TO
political fight but we never thought he
was possessed of the brains and the
political accumen ascribed to him by
so many of the members of the legis-
lature. 1t seems wonder to us that
they are not afraid to go to Charles
ton for fear that Bill Dawson will
catch them.
The truth is that all this hue and
cry about Bill Dawson getting some
kind of primary election bill through
in the interest of his candidacy for the
United States Senate is bat rot and
only an excuse for not doing some.
thing which they have promised the
people to do and which they are
afraid 10 do because somebody above
them tells them not to do it and To try
TO fool the people with any sort of ex
cuse which they can stuff down the
Threats Of the people. What do the
people care for Bill Dawson or what
do the membe Of the legislature care
for him? Not thing IN the world.
The members of the Legislature were
elected by the people on solemn
promise that they would give them a
general primary election law and this
was rot only by one party but both
parties and the people want what is
due them. The people will not scare at
this Dawson bugaboo. If the members
of the Legislature want to give the peo-
pie what they want, why on earth do
they not go at it. They do not have TO
even consult Dawson or his governor
about what kind of a bill! to pass and
the proposition to submit the matter
to commission is an admission of in
competency or of submission to boss.
If the Legislature adjourns without
passing primary election law they
practically say to the people, "you
elected us to position which we are
unable to fill and we ask that you ex.
cuse us and elect another set of men ia
do this work which we were to do.n

Golden Wcddlng.

On Tuesday, May 18th, our revered
townsman, DR.. A. c. Hopkins and his
estimable wife, had the unusual hap
piness OF celebrating the fiftieth ar
niversary of their wedding. Or. Hop
kns was married in 1861 to Miss Anne
Peasants Atkinson, daughter of Rev.
William Atkinson, of Winchester, and
niece of DIR, John a tkinson, of Hamp-
den-Sidney, with whom she was living
at the time of her marriage DR.. Hop
kins then had charge of Presby terrain
Church in Martinsburg, but soon left
to 90 INTO the Confederate Army-where
he was known as the "Fighting Chap
Lain" In 1866 be was called to the
Presbyterian Church in Charles Town
where he has been the beloved pastor
ever since
During the afternoon and evening a
large number of DR.. Hopkins cangre-
cation, and many other friends called
to offer their congratulations. Their
beautiful home was a,mass of lovely
fiowers, principally golden in color,
sent by friends, and the whole infor-
NAL reception was most delightful. DR..
and Mrs. Hopkins had with them
their three daughters, Miss Mary, Miss
Amelia and Miss Anne Peasants, and
their son, Rev, A. c. Hopkins, Jr of
Beuna Vista, with his wife and A. C..
hopkins, Bird. Mrs. Hopkins sister,
Mrs. Van Lear Perry, who had been
her bridesmaid, was also present.
May this venerable couple be spared
to this community for many years to
come.-Free Press.

The BRIDE. i.Inen.chest.

In an article OH "The Brides Linen

Compani are the following para
gr lphs on the table-cleths:
"The numb Of table cloths required

and also what rule is adopted for
Changing. In most households the
table-cioth is changed twice a week
for Wednesday ard Sunday dinner
and if there il maid to do the WORK,
it is wise to establish this rule and
stick to it Absolutely, fer 1t usually re-
suits in better-lookIng and better
cared for table. Ifthere is no maid,
one cloth NAV be used fos breakfast
aud another for dinner, with a small
square cloth OF doilies for luncheon, in
which case one of each would be need
ed for the week.
The smaller sized extension table,
with two leaves, now is considered the
most practical for the average DINING
where one cannot comfortably enter
tam more than eight persons at time
Ordinarily this table, in household
Of two, would he used without leaves
and, therefore, most OF the table-eloths
should be two yards wide and two and
one fourth yards long, to fit that size.
With the tabIe-c cloth changed twice a
week four would be sufficient, one of
them little better than the others in
quality, TO be used on the occasion of
the entertainment of one important
gnest. If economy is an important
factor, the cloths may be two yards
long, but the greater length is neces-
sary 10 the long corners which most
housekeepers consider essential to pro-
duce table of beauty.
"Besides these four table-ctoths there
should be one of good quality two and
a half yards long, to be used with one
leaf in the table, and one three yards
lorg, for use when the table is extend
eG to its full length"

and seemed of one mind in regard to
the unlawful employment OF children
under fourteen years at any tasks
except domestic service and farm Ia

forbidden TO work in saloons and girls
