New York. April 25.-The New York
Yacht Club is in a quandary today as how
to gracefully handle the seemingly nom
aignerable second challenge for a yacht
race sent them by Sir Thomas Upton,
the English sportsman.
Liptons def, which is unrestricted. was
discussed by the club as a whole last
night. If they should refuse the chal-
lenge it would look as though they were
afraid to accept.
After a certain amount of dignified dis
cussion the club decided to turn the
challenge over to a special committee

County Court.

The last session of the County Court
for the year 1912 was held on Monday.
One of the important orders that was
passed provided for a session ofthe court
on the second and fourth Saturdays OF
each month, to examine and pass road
bills, to appoint administrators and exc
cutors and for the transaction OF any
other business that may properly come
before the court on such days. This ar
rangement will enable the court to keep
the county's business better in hand, and
will at the same time reduce the work
that will need attention at the regular
terms.
The retirement of Mr.. ]. William Rider,
whose term as county commissioner ex-
PRED with the old year, was made the
subject OF resolutions adopted by the
court, eulogistc of his services TO the
county. All who know Mr.. Rider and
his public record will applaud the Senti-
ment of these resolutions, which are ap-
pended:
|. That in the voluntary relinquish-
ment of political office by John William
Rider and in his retirement to private
life, this court, county and State are los
ing the services OF a most efficient, ex
perienced and trusted official.
2. Born and reared within Jefferson
county, living the life of a country gentle
man, eschewing the turmoil of public
strife, and the glamour of civic honorS,
yet ever willing TO respond to his duties
as citizen, he has shared the hardshipS
of our war, served his State as legiSla-
tor, and as member and president OF
this court with credit to his manhood and
honor to his fellow citizens. All his acts
have carried the weight of sterling hon
esty.
3. Resolved, that as slight expression
OF the esteem OF this court, copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the
order book of this court and an engraved
copy thereof be rendered Mr.. Rider-Ad-
VOCQte.
At the first meeting of the court for
1913, on Monday last, Commissioner
Nelson r. Roberts was elected president
for the ensuing year.

Parcels Post Established.

The parcels post went into operation
last Wednesday and is now popular and
successful feature of the postal service,
many packages being received and sent
at the Shepherdstown postoffice daily.
The first package to go from Shepherds
town was pair OF shoes sent TO Wash
ington by NJ. B. Baker, one OF our local
merchants, at cost OF ten cents. Shep-
herdstown is in the same zone with
Washington, and the rate is 5 cents for
the first pound and cents for each ad-
ditional pound. We are in the second
zone with relation to Baltimore and Phil
adeIphia, and the rate is cents for the
first pound and cents for each additional
pound. New York is in the third zone,
and the rate is 7 and 5 cents.
The weight limit of packages is II
pounds, and the size limit is II inches in
length and girth combined. Parcels post
stamps must be used for packages-ordi-
nary postage stamps will not do. The
name and address OF the sender must be
placed upon the package, as well as the
name of and address of the person TO
whom it is consigned. Butter, eggs,
poultry and merchandise in general may
be sent by parcels post. For fee OF 10
cents packages may be insured for as
much as $50.

NEW MEMBER OF THE FIRM.

Beginning with this issue, William Bald
win Snyder, son of the editor, takes a
place as a member of the Registers staff,
and will serve as local editor and bust
ness manager. He is not unfamiliar with
the newspaper business, having been as
sisting on the Register for some time past.
We hope that our friends will give him
their most favorable consideration and
encourage him in his hope that he can
help to make the Register better and
more prosperous than ever before.
The senior editor has been running the
Register for more than thirty years now,
and feels the need OF help-realizes that
younger blood and youthful energy will
be an advantage to the paper as well as
a relief to the senior. There may be
some changes that will be announced
later

THERE is no indication vet as to who
will be elected Senator by the West Viz
ginia Republicans. Of course the delay
is solely because the legislators want to
be certain that they are picking out the
ablest man for the place - perish the
thought that money plays any part in the
matter

to this position, and would give dignity

be honored with it. He made fine rec

AFTER fifty years OF agitation, the Uni
ted States has finally gotten a parcels
post system. Although in operation only
a week, its benefits are already moStpro
nounced, and when the rates shall have
been reduced, as they must be. the peo-
pie will find the cost of living greatly re-
duced.
the express companies, which have
extorioned from the people for so many
years, will cut down their prices also,
but the government is now committed to
the parcels post, and it will probably re-
duce rates to point that will eliminate
express competition in many cases. In
deed, there are some persons who favor
the government taking over the express
business entirely-which we think would
be good thing.
