LawIessne,s In Charles Town.

There was quite stir in town last week
when on complaint OF the Law and Order
Committee seven arrests were made on
the charge of "bootlegging. Five OF
them were colored and two were white
men. Tuesday on trial before Justice
Gallaher the following were held for the
grand jury: James Newman. Hugh Ball,
Ambrose Bailey, Frank Patterson, Albert
Thornton, colored, and Juhal Young.
Prosecuting Attorney George D. Moore
vigorously presented the case IN behalf
of the State. II appearing that number
of cases Of violation of the liquor laws
were likely TO arise, Judge Frank Beck
with and F. l. Bushong, Esq, were en-
ployed by the Law and Order Committee
to assist the Prosecuting Attorney in these
matters. and they rendered efficient aid
when the cases were heard in the magis-
trate's court.
AS an aftermath of these arrests, Philip
Ridout. colored, who was instrumental IN
securing evidence against those accused,
was beaten up on Main street in front OF
the Bank of Charles Town at about III
o'clock on Tuesday morning by some
colored men. So far the following arrests
have been made in THIS case: Pink
Strange, Archie Thomas, Pleas Scott,
Patsy Robinson and Brasey Johnson, all
colofed, and who are all in jail except
Brasey Johnson, who has been oalled
out.
That the no-license laws have been
flagrantly violated here recently is patent
to every one, and as result OF its efforts
i'm the enforcement of law and order, all
w-abidlng citizens are rallying TO the
support of the committee.
The Law and Order Committee con-
sists of all those who signed the petition
against license, on which the County
Court acted favorably. Its membership
is therefore county wide.
As we go to press. we are ADVISED
that several members OF the Law and Or
der Committee have received black-hand
letters threatening their lives and proper
~ on account Of their activity In prose-
cutting law breakers.-CharleS Town Free
Press.
The above statement from the Free
Press reveals a lawless condition that
should be met quickly and firmly. AS in
Maninsburg, the men who have been
debauched by the selling and drinking OF
liquor seem to have no regard whatever
for law and decency. and unless checked
there is no telling to what lengths they
will 90. We are glad to know that the
Law and Order Committee of Jefferson
county is active. II is doing its duty, and
if il shall be backed up by the people and
Justice sternIy measured out by the courts.
the scandalouS violations of the law will
be effectually stopped.
What curse liquor is, anyhow How
il degrades men and how defiant il makes
them of law and propnety.

about 500 perches of stone will be put on

along the railroad just east Of Martinsburg
is to be regarded and in another year this
will also be macadamized. We are glad
that our Berkeley county neighbors are
waking up on the subject Of good roads,
and hope that soon there will be fine

road is being constructed through the

SIX TEAMS IN PENNANT
RACE SAYS CONNIE MACK

ANY one of six teams-Boston, Chi
cago. Washington, Philadelphia. De-
troit or Cleveland--is a serious PEN
nant contender. according to the fig
ures of one Connie Mack, say the De-
troit Journal.
Mack has stood by his early-season
Statements that the 1912 American
league race would be the most exciting
since the leagues organization Chi
cago's great squirt at the beginning OF
the season did not discourage Mack
He figured that the white Sox would
fall-then the other teams would pun
up.
Mack never has been considered in
the light of gosslper In fact he
is strong i'm his reputation as being
one of the most taciturn OF men. And
on his trip OF the Athletics he is even
less responsive.
Pugilistic history tells, that Jim JET
fries greatest speech was a grunt.
Mack hardly grunts.
"what team do you thing will win
the pennant?" he was asked.
ANY one Of six?'
"The six?"
They're leading now"
How are the Athletics%
"All right
Going to VIM"
"Mebbe"
Had a little hard iuck2
"Nopc-that's in the game
"Got a poor start then?"
"Yep."
Then Mr. Mack went TO his room.

WASHINGTON team has SET
A new WORLDS RECORD

Even If the washington team fails
to keep up it's present record of not
losing a game in the west, it has al
alreacy established a worlds record by
v'.f y sixteen consecutive games on
eu elsa grounds. No other team since
tie days of modern baseball has ever
accomplished this feat. In 1905 Chi
cago won eighteen straight and lost
it's first game in Washington. but more
than nalf of these were won at home,
whereas every one of the present
stretch of victories has been scored
on foreign grounds by the Nationals.
There is a chance for the team 10
make clean sweep of its invasion of
the west. one of the most remarkable
performances i'm the history of the
game. Cleveland may prove tougher
proposition than is anticipated, but
the fact that the Athletics cleaned up
the series is, To say the least. encour-
aging, for when team starts on
slump it is no easy matter TO check
il any more than II is easy to make a
team which Is winning lose.

Griffith expresses. 1t is true mat he
