The Town Election.

The Town Election.
The annual corporation election fol
town officers was held in Shenherdstowr
on Monday, when the ticket headed BY
present Mayor U. S. Martin was elected
by large maiorities. The following are
the persons who will serve in the towr
council the ensuing year:
Mayor-U. S. Martin.
Recorder. L. Weltzheimer.
CounciImen-J. Harry Hill, J. L. We'll
shans, T. A. Carter, H. L. Wintermoyer,
H. M. Shell.
The victorious ticket had an easy vic
tory. its workers having little opposition
dt the polls. The Anti-Saloon League
took no part in the election, as the issue
of license or no license was not voted
upon and neither ticket was looked upon
as strictly dry.
Something Of sensation was created
by the arrest of sixteen persons, both
white and colored, upon the charge OF
illegal voting. The paying of the poll
tax of certain individuals by those who
wish to control their votes has gotten TO
be regular custom here, and though il
is said to be clearly against the law, il
has never before been rebuked. This
year, il is said, from fifty to hundred
persons had their taxes paid for them,
and were then furnished tickets on cleo
ton day by those who had shown this
extraordinary kindness. A couple OF
days before election the Citizens Ticket,
which was headed by R. @. Miller. with
]. D. Billmyer as recorder, issued a cir
cular, warning persons against attempt
ing to vote illegally, having in mind those
who had been qualified by the money Of
others. This warning having failed to
stop the steady flow OF votes, Messrs.
Miller and Billmyer swore out warrants
for the arrest of those who had been vol
ing illegally, as they viewed the matter.
No less than sixteen voters were haled
before Magistrate Rentch, who held them
each in 500 bail for further hearing on
Tuesday. Bond was given for their ap-
pearance by candidates on the Martin
ticket. Tuesday ]. M. Woods, of Mar
tinSburg, appeared here as counsel for
the prisoners, but because OF the absence
of Prosecuting Attorney Moore, who was
unable to be present, the hearing was
postponed until Friday morning at II
O'Clock.
The Register does not attempt to offer
any opinion as to the present controver-
sy, except to express the opinion that
the custom OF paying taxes of those who
will not pay for themselves, by whole
sale and retail, ought TO be broken up.
II is unquestionably form OF bribery,
and all good citizens will agree that il is
not right.

Obituary.

In loving remembrance OF my dear
husband, who died March 6, 1911
BLESSED are the dead who lie in the
Lord. They rest from their labors and
their works do follow" These words he
said the day before he died.
Lonely is the home and sad the house.
Since thy sweet smiles are gone.
But, Oh brighter home than ours
In heaven is now thine own.
When DER thy peaceful pillow
The bitter tears will fall
AT the thought OF our lost treasure.
The idol OF all
Our feet will ofttimes wander
Towards that sacred mound
Where sleeps the form we loved
In consecrated ground.
Yet he answers Let me co. may not tarry,
Wrestling thus with doubt and fear.
Angels wait my soul 10 carry,
When my risen Lord appears
Dearest wife and children weep not so.
II you love me let me 90.
While say farewell 10 you,
Answer one and all adeu.
WRITTEN BY HIS WIFE.
wish to thank the members OF the l..
o. o. F. for their prompt attention and
kindness towards me during the recent
illness and death of my husband. May
the Lord bless the order.
MRS. CORA SCHELL.
