COLUMBIA MECCA
Of MULE BUYERS
DESPITE WEATHER
ENORMOUS CROWD AND HUN
DREDs OF MULES BRAVE
SNOW AND SlEET,
MUCH TRADING OF The ANIMALS
Prices Generally Good, Especially for
the Best Grades-candidates Have
Regular Field Day With the Dear
Sovereigns of the County.

In spite of one of the most inclem.
ent days of the winter Columbia to
day is the mecca of both mules and
people. There are mules here from
all sections of the county and the
foulks are here too. They came
through the country; over all of the
trains and by automobile, but they
are all here. Not a district or a
hamlet of the county failed to send
a large delegation. -..
1t seems that the people are fated
to have bad weather for the first
Monday in January. Two years ago
the first Monday of the year was the
coolest of the entire winter. Last
year on this day it rained steady
down pour. Today Is anything that
it ought not to be. .e .
From cold forbidding day, during
the night the weather changed to fine
snow and sleet and this morning
dawned just about as ,forbidding day
as one could well imagine. The
snow came down for several hours
but with little notable effect. It
melted on the soft ground almost as
fast as it fell. 49,
Mules began to come into the city
during Sunday and there was a
steady stream coming in all during
the morning from all sections of the
county and from the adjoining coun-
ties. Buyers are here from most ev-
srywhere, there being Q score or
more Of them standing all day In the
slset and slush buying the long cared
animals that proved the attraction Of
today.
There is an enormous crowd of
people in the city, one Of the largest
ever known here on 30 bad a day.
The merchants had a good day Of 1t,
especially those who deal in clothing
and wearing apparel. The hardware
men also had their inning, many good
sales being made to the farmers.
There have been first Mondays in
January that brought more mules to
Columbia than were here today. The
number on the streets was far from
the record but thriving business
was done and large number chang
ed hands at fine prices. Especially
was this true of the slick haired and
fat mules. The auction sales were
well attended.
Candidates for county Offices had a
regular field day Of it. They were
busy with the sovereigns. The wealth.
er did not deter them. There were
numerous political conferences and
several additional candidates got into
the field.
Among the buyers are the follow

THE independence OF the voters OF the
Western States is a good thing for the
country. They believe in party, but they
don't allow the party TO use them for the
benefit of selfish politicians. The East

election last week-bo:h parties declare
that they are quite well satisfied with the
result. The Democrats are entirely

they have some hopes for 1916. How

THE poor showing made by the Pro-

cause Colonel Roosevelt TO seek some
other issue that will keep him in the
limelight. If he wants to take up cause
that will give him plenty OF hard work
for the next few years. righteous cause
that will eventually WHINE suggest that
he throw himself into the anti-saloon
movement. We know Of no cause where
surplus energy can be better utilized.

Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1914-11-12

LATE figures show that four of the six
States that voted on prohibition last week
went dry-Arizona, Washington, Oregon
and Colorado, while California and Ohio
were carried by the liquor people. These
four victories bring the total number of
States that have declared against the
saloon up TO fourteen, more than one
fourth OF the whole country. Five States
have been added TO the dry list this year.
AT this rate if is not going TO take long to
get the whiskey people in corner, for
each victory encourages the temperance
people to renewed zeal.
With these four States now safely an
chored in the dry column, the Anti Sa-
Don League can concentrate it, efforts
in other saloon territory. and we look for
further progress along this lines.

AN analysis OF the vote in West Viz
ginia last week is mighty encouraging to
the Democrats, Notwithstanding the Ell
forts Of certain Republican newspapers
to get comfort out OF the situation. West
Virginia is about the only State in the
Union TO elect more Democrats TO Con-
gress this year than it did in l9l2-the
delegation will be three Democrats and
three Republicans in the next Congress,
whereas at present there are four Re-
publicans and two Democrats.
The actual figures give good ground
for Democratic rejoicing. In the first
and second districts Nicely and Brown
were reelected by much larger plurali-
ties than they had two years ago. In the
third district Adam Littepage is elected
by 600 plurality over Congressman Avis,
who won two years ago by ,447. In
the fourth district Congressman Moss
was reelected, but his plurality was less
than in 1912. And in the fifth district
George |. Neal reduced the Republican
plurality ny about $500. But the vote
for Congressman-at-large is the most
gratifying OF all, for Thos. E. Hodges cut
down Congressman Sutherland's plurality
of two years ago by 10000 votes, in spite
OF the fact that Mr.. Sutherland is unques-
tionably the strongest man that his party
could have put up.
II the Democrats make as much prog
ress the next two years as they have
since 1912, the whole State viii be ours
in 1916.
