important Fruiterowers' Meetings.

Meetings of much interest to
fruitgrowers are scheduled to be
held during the whole of next
week in Washington, under the
auspices of the American Pomo-
logical Society, in cooperation
with the Eastern Fruit Growers
Association, the Society for Hor-
ticultural Science and other CO.
operative organizations.
Most attractive programs have
been arranged with addresses by
the leading orchardists of North
America-from Manitoba to Flor
ida-as we'll as Government of
ficials and experts, including the
Secretary of Agriculture.
On the list, is Professor Sur
face of Pennsylvania, whose dis
coyery of a parasite which de-
stroyS the San Jose scale-re-
ferred to at length elsewhere ON
this page-is likely to revolution
lie orchard spraying and save
growers millions of dollars now
expended in an attempt to control
this pest.
The Committee on Freig hit
Tariff Discrimination will report
on the status of the suit now
pending to require the railroad
companies to abate the discrin1i-
nation now existing to the detri:
ment of the fruit growers of this
section.
This movement was inaugu-
rated by the Virginias Fruit Elk
change which with the Jefferson
County Horticultural Society has
contributed literally to the cause.
1t is conservatively estimated
that if the pending appeal is sue
cessful, as it is confidently ex-
pected it will be, a saving to the
orchardists of this fruit belt Of
not less than a hundred thousand
dollars annually will result, in re
duction of rates and consequent
enhancement of prices.
The Apple Judgi ing Contest
for the cup and medals offered by
the American Pathological So
ciety will bring together teams
from most of the Agricultural
Colleges of the country, and West
Virginia will be contender for
the honor,
This exhibition will be. held at
the National Museum and the
business meetings at the Hotel
Raleigh.
The occasion will be well
worth while to progressive or
chardists and a large attendance
is expected.

Charleston, W. Va.
My dear Governor:
/ desire to state to you my attitude
and position with reference to an ar
ticle published in the Cincinnati En-
quirer Of Oct 26, 1912, containing per-
sonal references to your character and
your political record. and which is the
basis Of damage suit brought by you
against Mr.. George W. Summers and
myself, now pending in the circuit
court Of Wood county.
/ want to give you earnest assurance
Of my disapproval of the publication of
this article. Idonot believe the charges
therein can be substantiated in fact,
and it necessarily follows that the
publication of untruthfut statements is
libelous. had no knowledge of the
preparation of this article, and was in
no wise responsible for its publication.
Had ! been in Parkersburg on the day
in which the article was published in
the Cincinnati Enquirer / would have
asked permission from you to appear
on the rostrum with you at your meet
ling an publicly -disclaim responsibility
for it and my disbelief of the charges.
/ have no doubt the article was pub
lished to~blacken your character and to
gain some political advantage; but l
disapprove of such campaign tactics,
and want you to feel that your efforts
to bring to an end such personal attacks
on candidates in the he 1t of campaign
when the charges are unfounded. should
have the hearty commentator of all
good citizens.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) S. w. WALKER.

The Penitentiary Investigation
A Statement By John cpinks;.

"A SthISmChk ny JONI Nplnk8.
Charles Town, WA, Nov. IL, 1913
| The undersigned YVES treated all
right at Moundsville, doing sentence Of
| five years, and was sent there from
Charles Town, w. Va, for stealing
Whiskey from Wager F'ritts' saloon in
Charles Town, and never denied my
guilt, and | did my time of three years,
eight months and six days.
During the first year was in Mounds.
vile the only man they had for Warder
was Mr. Matthews. he is the man who
fed the prisoners and passed among
them, and tried to help the prisoners
all he could
But when Warden Brown came he
never showed any one favor or tried
to help any one, but while MIR. Brown
was in the Chapel he was all piety.
can prove by 900 or 100 men that
after Warden Brown left the chapel he
was different man altogether
/ will make the statement that / was
trusty outside the prison and never
mailed letter for any inmate while l
was doing time there.
While working outside the prison for
Brown, to show that he Is not fit to be
Warden, there was another convict
working out with me who used to be
barber for the Warden and the Captain
To show that the Captain is the only
square man at the institution; hi called
me in and asked me if had been run
ming around after night and told him
| had not. He said for me to go to the
South Hall and stay all night. My ans
wer to him was, Captain, since / have
been made trusty and put out in the
front, l have done the square thing "
and then | asked Captain Boyd if had
been reported to him by one of the
guards, and he said I had not, but the
Warden mad told him to call me in and
talk with me about running abound the
barn at night. The Captain said, Il
don't believe word of it, john" He
sent me to the South Hall and kept me
there for two months. until 4 was dis
charged, and ] never worked lick.
With all due respect tos Warden
Brown, he is no fit man to have charge
of 1000 men and can say this for Joe
Bloyd that what he says he will do,
that he will do.
When prisoner enters this place he
is assigned to do task in the shop, and
lots of crippled men come there and
they are unable to do days work, and
il it was not for Captain Bloyd the
men would suffer more than they do
IT you don't do the task set for you,
you are hung on the gate or padded
And all you can do over the task. you
are paid for, but tits hard days work
fora man to do the task.
Captain Bloyd tries to reason with
all the men and is very kind to them.
Warden Brown stated in Martins
burg paper that what said to a Wheel
ing reporter was false, ! can prove
that the statement / made was true
and Warden Brown himself knows it is
true, and he. also knows that while
was aconvict / wasa- truthful boy to
him.
All l have said can prove.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SPINKS.

Call for Republican Mass
Meeting.

Whereas, under the primary law of
the state Of South Dakota adopted at
the last general election there is no
legal authorized organization of the
republican party in the state, and
Whereas, Many important constitu-
tional and legislative enactmentshave
been recently adopted demanding the
attention Of all, members OF the re-
publican partyS, in order that the
policy of the party concerning the
same in the future may be definitely
determined: and
Whereas, An urgent request has
been made by a large number OF re-
publicans throughout the state of
South Dakota for q mass meeting to
devise and adopt ways and means to
perpetnate the doctrines and princi-
Piles OF the republican party, and
Whereas, We believe Sthat the
good and future success of the repub-
lican party at this time demands that
such a meeting shall be held, and that
all republican voters who believe in
the continuation and doctrines Of the
republican party should attend such
meeting, and have a voice in plan
ming for the future of the party.
Now, therefore, we the undersigned,
hereby call a mass meeting Of the
republicans of the entire state, to be
held at Sioux Falls, 8. D., on the 18th
day of July, 1913, for the purpose of
outlining the future course and policy
Of the republican party OF this state,
and
We most respectfully urge that ev-
cry republican voter who believes in
the party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield
and Mckinley attend the said mass
meeting and participate in its deliber-
atoms.
