from tho same 1.-THE seeohffy dsstsct.
ARE candidates for this new job. Suth.
crland was last in the race. There Is
an old adage that 1.-The last shah be

days ago ~. L..
For Congressman In this ,(the
Third) district Capt. s. B. Avis has
already belm accorded the nominal
ton. He had no opposition, so his
name will not be found on the pfi1n-
airy election ticket. The Capt has
had an, easy campaign of it, of which
he was eminen1ly des erving, and viii
be in better shape to- get into, the
arena against the Hon Adam %. Lit
depage, for that the present Demo-
cratic congressman from this district
will be nominated for another term
goes without saying.
For Senator from the Eighth dis
-1ANH SoAipooSu VI LHo counties or
Boone, hogan and Fayette, Senator
e. Il. England and Mr.. T. l.. Foster
are contending, with Senator England
apparently far in ;thsslsad, The Sen
ator has rendered his, district and the
State at large most excellent service,
and that he will. be re-nominated and
reelected is plainly apparent. The
senator has staten ent elsewhere In
today's Mail that every voter should
read.
For State Committeeman, from this
senatorial district the candidates are
Messrs. j. w. Dawson and. Seigel
Workman. Two are 10 be elected, so
neither Of these gentlemen find it nec-
essary to make fight. Mr.. Dawson
was at first opposed by Sheriff Press
Smith of Kanawha county, who with
drew in the interest of harmony in
hanaWha county, thus leaving a clear
held for Mr.. Dawson. And then,
when the State convention at Hunt
ngtcn decided to- enlarge the, conf
mlttee, and Mr.. Workman was an
pointed for this district, he too de-
clded to go into the primary,.. cleo
ton.
The six candidates for Committees
men at Large are all colored brethren,
lhree' are to be elected Of these
six John S. Noel, DR.. B. II. Stillyard
and Jas. p. Gardener appear to be
the favoritcs in Kanawha county. II

Important change in the head of the

So there you are. 49,,
For County COmn:-.'sfu der Dr.. M.
Z. Malcolm and e. A. Woodal arc
out beating the brush. DR.. Malcolms
many friends say that he is an easy
winner. He has proven a very good
servant for the county and has large
ly aided in making the county the
splendid business institution it is to-
day, and the voters are saying that
they believe it good thing to keep
him where he is.
For Assessor, Henry A. Walker Will
walk off with the trophy. He has no
opposition, and chances are that he
would be nominated if he had

dozen mighty good men have offered
themselves. Five will be nominated
and seven will be selected to keep
right on at the occupations they have
been following heretofore. AS their
names appear on the ticket thew are:
