The Harmon Stakes.

DR.. Hatfield of Mcdowell coun.
ty has hit pretty fair gait in the
harmony stakes. He has with
drawn his name from considera-
ton as candidate for governor,
and 90 far as he can do 30, pledges
the party in his county to send
urinstructed delegates to the state
conventions.
Uninstructed delegations should
be the rule. And not only should
the DELEGATIONS 60 uninstructed,
but they should carry with them
the solemn intention of voting
solely for the interest of the party
and the people.
The Republican party cannot
win the next state elections by
putting forth second rate candi.
dates. And it will matter not
whom the present machine might
favor, be thoy high or low toned,
such candidates with the machine
badge upon them can not and
ought not TO win.
The party must come clean in
it's nominations if it expects the
suffrage, the patience or the toler-
ance Of the people.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There IS only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by coustitu-
tonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
uamed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflaued
YOU have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear.
ing, aud when il is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, aud unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to il normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamcd condition o
the mucous surfaces.

AS TO whether the Republican
party will carry West Virginia at
the next general election depends i'll
a great measure on the action of the

If the Federal and State office

the committee do not uncondition-

to see what was going ON. One or
two of the bolder, perhaps friends
Wilmer Mclean the houseowner,
went upon the porch, and then en-
tered the hall and peeped into the
room which that day became histro-
ic. Charlie Phillips followed. He
saw small room crowded with Of
ficcTs; he saw Gen. Grant seated
at one table, at another Gen. Lee.
An officer to whom he he'd once
carried a message recognized him
and nodded. In his excitement the
boy scarcely saw him. 1t is one of
his poignant regrets that he could
never remember which officer spoke
to him. He dared take but one
hurried look about the room, then
tiptoed out into the yard again
and waited. After a long time
Gen. Lee and another gray-clad Of
ficer came out, followed by the Fed
erals. The boy watched them ride
away. 1t was over. He turned his
own horse toward Richmond and
rode, now sober, now exultant.

hand dainty piece of work which
made it indeed busy bee circle,
and the morning was spent in social
chat, in readings and music.
i, At 8 O'Clock a lovely course din
ner was served. The decorations of
the diningroom were perfect. Flow
ers, red white and blue were shower
ed on the dainty table linen.
The centre piece was white hya-
cinths. The drapery, ribbons sus-
pended from the walls were red,
white and blue. Upon the mantle
hung the picture of the Father of

to whom our hostess asked that Miss
Ellis give a toast. This she did in
her most charming and gracious
manner. Place cards with the verse
Supreme in war, in council, and in
peace" were attached to tiny George
Washington hatchets and near by a
bunch of tempting cherries remind
ing one of the long ago.
Our hostess here reminded us that
it is the birth month if not the day
of great many noted men.
Mrs. Sales was then called upon for
toast to Abraham Lincoln. This
to the rail, splitter" president was
so full of truth and wit that Mrs.
Sales received great applause. Had
Abraham been present, he would
have been complimented though he
had been toasted brown by this
charming woman Of our town. The
dinner was served beautifully: first
a soup course; then a regular turkey
dinner; salad course; delicious ice
cream and last hot coffee. After this
we fingered and listened to a valen-
tine, a sweet love story told by
Mrs. Leggat.
AS we arose, to our hostess is
given by Mrs. Forchee the crowning
toast of the day, SO beautifully, so
truthfully said. Each took away a
hatchet, souvenir of the George
Washington dinner party. The re-
mainder of the evening was spent
in listening to exquisite music by
Miss Ellis who is guest of her rela-

Good Roads Legislation.

The public roads of Edgefeld county
during the fall and winter have been in
better condition than ever before at
that season! The crops were market
ed, and large per cent of the guano
has been hauled at much less expense
to the farmers than heretofore. Having
appreciated the advantages of improv-
ed roads at season when most need
ed, we believe that people are willing
to incur the expense necessary to make
this improved condition permanent.
Looking to this end, Hon. M. P. Wells
has secured the passage of an act which
will ultimately prove to be a great
boon to our people.
This act first provides that the pay
ment of the Communication tax snall be
compulsory instead Of rendering a Ger;
tain number of days service upon the
public roads as under the old law. All
persons between the ages of q and SIS,
except such as are exempted, are re-
quired to make returns for road tax,
as in making returns for poll and other
taxes.
The law also provides for the levying
of two-mill property tax, half of
which is to be expended in the town
ship in which it is collected, and the
other half tobe paid to the general road.
working fund of the county. 1t au,
thorizes the supervisor to borrow S.,
OOOto be used this year, pledging the
special two-mill tax to secure the loan.
With this increased revenue at thei,
command the county authorities will
not only be able to do more effective
work, but will be able to give closer
attention to the roads in every section
of the county.
