of depression swept over the stock

cancelled the larger part of the losses
among the active issues. Quotations
were borne down close to the low level
touched on "Wednesday, and in a few
instances below that point. During
the afternoon the tone was heavy, I'M

The "Original" Wilson People.

A friend who knows the facts
has drawn our attention to a
recent issue of the Grafton Leader.
in which in a display advertisement
it makes the claim to being the
first paper in the State to firmly
advocate the nomination and
election of Woodrow Wilson.
Our friend suggests that our
natural modesty should not
prevent our challenging this
statement, since the Free Press
was by far the earliest paper in the
State to espouse the cause of
Woodrow Wilson.
OF courserit is fact that away
back in the early summer of the
year before last we placed the
name Of the now President Elect
at the head of our columns and
were derided at the time for adj
vocating the election of a school
teacher etc and for not getting
ON the Clark band wagon, which
went to smash at Baltimore.
But there is glory enough for
Al. The Leader came out all

The Dark Future.

When Woodrow, statesman good and
great, takes up the round Of White
House chores, he'll long for former low
estate, for book and birch and school
house floors. The White House lawn
will then be filled with men who in the
recent race put up line of talk that
thrilled, and who'll demand a good fat
place. They will not leave the chief
alone, they'll raise eternal howdydo;
they'll cali him up by telephone and
below down the kitchen fue. When
he steps out to smoke a torch some
grilny omce-seeking chap will crawl for
underneath the porch and clamor for a
public snap. And when at night he
Laws his head, worn out, upon the
FELLOWSHIP, he'll hear a voice, from
meath the bed. demanding post
mastership- And every man he sees
betwixtthe White House and the rivers
shore cen though the Is already fixed,
will hold his talons out for more. And
he oft will long to be a pedagogue, as he
was planned, a kid inverted ON his knee,
a good elm sappling in his hand! With
Yearning oft his heart will swell, when
Office hunters block his way. to hear
again the schoolhouse bell that calls the
students from their play. And some
day, when his stout heart cracks. and
he is wearied of his job, doubt not he
will take an ok, and NOV a pathway
through the mob. WALT MASON.

The Next Move.

The County Court having dis
regarded the responsiveness of a
majority of the voters of the
County by granting saloon Ii
censes, it now becomes necessary
to appeal from their decision to
the representatives of the whole
people, now in legislative session
at Charleston.
Pending the enactment of the
laws making the Prohibition

those others who are willing to
cater to any interest, however
base if by so doing they can adj
