eyer the stars and stripes are raised in
victorious battle by our army or navy
on the American continent, they should
never come down. II our boys, by
their courage and gallantry, qnfurl the

message for me to the goGd people of
the Second District. Mr.. Brown be-
lieves in an adequate navy and voted
for the two battleship program. He
said he wanted them to be the best that
ever sailed the seas.
Mr.. Brown took time enough from
his duties at the capitol last week to
attend the meeting at Keyser Of the
Democratic Congressional Committee
which called convention for Charles
Town on June 18th to nominate a can
didate for Congress from the Second
District and to spend day in Charles
Town attending to business matters.
Mr.. Brown expressed himself as pleased
with the outlook as he found it after q
couple of days spent in his district.

Ugly Rurnors.

As we go to press we learn of
certain ugly rumors being afloat
to the effect that another slush
fund is to be dumped into the
County by long distance on
Saturday." that issues are being
po1led and certain poll workers
seen ITO put the frdme-up across. !"
We hope that these reports are
unfounded, but it might be we'll
for voters to keep their weather
eye open and mash any candidate
guilty of such skuldruggery, also
not to be in too big a hurry to
vote but let the scheme develop if
it exists, then act.

To jefferson County Farmers.

Due to the fact that farmers are
busy with spring crops, little atten-
ton has been given the hogs. There
are at least two herds in the county
suffering with cholera now. 1t is very
important that every farmer shou.G
observe the condition OF his herd
daily, keep plenty of air-s,acked lime
scattered about the pens and feed
ing places. If sick hog is found
take the well ones to another part OF
the farm at once. The Jefferson
County Farm Bureau can secure Hog
Cholera Serum free. In case OF an
out break, in your own herd or your
neighbors notify.

briefly reviewed, which recites a
claim Judge Beckwith will have
on the Democratic voters Of Ber-
kelley and Morgan. When Sena-
tor Kenna died, Governor Flem-
ing appointed Judge CE1as. J.
Faulkner to the vacancy and
named Beckwith to succeed
Faulkner on the Circuit Bench Of
this District. He filled the Office
with distinction, and was tue
unanimous choice of Jefferson to
succeed himself. Considering the
fact that up to that time Jeffer-
son had not had the JudgeshiP
since the war and yet-Morgan
and Berkeley being then both Re-
publican-had always to elect the
Democratic candidate for the
position, it was taken for granted
that Judge eBeckwith would be
rendered the nomination by ac-
clarnation. But, Berkeley and
Morgan combined against Jeffer-
son and nominated the late Judge
Duckwall.
The episode was not an alto
gether creditable one.
Our neig have now a
chance to wipe it off the Demo-
cratic record.
Between County nominees some
may insist that the party press
should not discriminate. but there
are other fundamental reasons why
Judge Beckwitl1 should, as we
believe, become the nominee of
his party.
It is to be hoped that the voters
will turn out in full strength on
Saturday and register their YER
dict freely yet without acrin1ony,
and then get ready for another
glorious Democratic victory in
November.

Rotten Politics.

If it is true that candidate
who has been treated with every
courtesy, magnimity and more
than fairness by his opponent, lis
showing his appreciation by
countenancing the circulation of
scurrilous literature about his
adversary among the voters, he
will find that the Democrats Of
Jefferson know how to present
polecat tactics in politics. !" We
prefer not to believe the report.
