From Saturdays Daily.


Il never saw nicer behaved
crowd of young people" declared
Mayor Meyer today than was at
the public dance in Richards hall
last night stayed there until
about midnight and then went back
again little while later. There
we're about two hundred young
people there and II was a pleasure
to watch them" The mayor said
sfhat most Of the dancers seemed
to be between the ages Of eighteen
and twenty-five. but he saw several
girls who appeared TO be less than
eighteen years old. lie had an OF
fcer ask them II they were of age
and all OF them declared that they
were.
There was nothing out of the
way about the dancing" said the
mayor. He admitted that perhaps
his presence had caused the dancers
to be a little more careful than they
might otherwisehave been. but said that
there was absolutely no boisterous-
ness either In the hall itself nor
in the anterooms. He said also
that there were no signs of drink.
ine.
The "Sweiis" Came In.
One thing which Mr.. Meyer did
notice, however, was that at about
twelve o'clock several young men
whom he described as 'the swells'
came In. but did not dance. The
police, so Mr.. Meyer said. believed
that they came to the dances To
accompany the young ladies home
from the hall.
He also noticed that a number oil
girls came In at about 1880 p. m.
and upon inquiry found that they
were nearly all girls who worked in
restaurants and were not able &c
get away earlier. For that reason
Mr.. Meyer says be thinks there
would be some question about the
advisability OF closing the dances
at midnight. as has been suggested
The dances new come to a close al
one o'clock.
Commissioner Lack also spent q
fhort time at the dance and today
said that he saw nothing out Of
the way about the dancing or the
general conduct of the people who
were there.
Several ladies attended the dance
end remained during most of the
evening.

Public Improvement.

The covering over the Main street
crossing OF the town run having gotten
weak and holes having appeared that
threatened TO become dangerous. the
town council at special meeting last
week decided to have concrete bridge
constructed and thus do away with future
trouble at this point. The several con-
crete workers OF the town were invited
to submit bids, and q. w. Enter having
made the lowest bid, the contract was
awarded to him at Sl62. Bright and
early Monday morning work was COM
menced, and the street at this point was
closed to traffic. The removal Of the
tightly packed macadam, which was al
most like concrete from the several coats
of oil applied the past year or two, was
no easy job, hut it was finally accom-
plshed The street has for hundred
years or more been carried over the run
by bridge of locust logs, over which
macadam was spread, and the water was
completely hidden from sight. From
time TO time the logs would rot and break
and allow the roadway TO drop, causing
trouble OF an expensive sort. The con-
struction of a concrete bridge is expected
10 be a permanent improvement tn It will
in the long run save money for the town.

IMPORTANT TOALL WOMEN READ
Frs OF THIS PAPER.

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result OF kidney or bladder disease.
Ii the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
TO become diseased.
You may suffer great deal with pain
in the back, bearing-down feelings, head
ache and loss OF ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, lrrIta-
bic and may be respondent; il makes
any one so.
But hundreds OF women claim that Dr..
Klmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing TO thousands OF nervous,
over worked women.
Many send for sample bottle TO see
what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy will do Tor
them. Every reader of this paper, who
has not already tried if, by enclosing ten
cents to DR.. KImer & Co., Binghamton,

Graham wilson Must Serve His Term.

Graham Wilson Must Serve His Term.
The West Virginia Supreme Court Of
Appeals in Charleston on Tuesday last
refused new trial for E. Graham VIII
son, convicted in TIE Jefferson Circuit
Court last year of criminal assault upon
Miss Kate Turner, ar estiriable lady OF
Charles Town. The history OF the case
is well known. The assault, as alleged,
was committed Jure 6, 1913, and Wilson
was arrested June 10th. After indictment
for his crime at the October term Of court,
Wilson was put on trial November Is,
1918 Although he had The most emf
nent counsel to defend him, ne was con-
victed by the jury, the verdict being rem
dered November 10Th. aud Judge Woods
sentenced him to fourteen years IN the
State Penitentiary at Moundsville. An
application for new trial having been
refused by Judge Woods, counsel Tor
Wilson too an appeal TO the Supreme
Court of Appeals, which at first refused
to grant a writ or error, but afterward re-
versed itself and allowed writ OF error.
The Supreme Court at its session in
Charles Town few weeks ago heard
argument for and against new trial, and
Tuesday a decision was rendered affirm
ing the judgment of the lower court.
This decision OF the highest court in
the State means that Wilson must now
serve his term, his only hope being that
he may receive pardon from the Gov
ernor.
1t is possible that the court may re-
open the case and grant a rehearing, but
such action is extremely improbable. If
Wilson's counsel should determine 10 ap-
ply for such a rehearing, they have thirty
days in which TO do so, but it is likely that
the prisoner will be taken TO the peniten-
tiary within a few days. 1t is the opinion
OF Prosecuting Attorney Moore that his
term begins on Tuesday-the date on
which his application for new trial was
refused by the Supreme Court.
The famous case has been ably fought
from the beginning. The defense was
conducted by c. n. Campbell, of Charles
Town, c. E. Martin, of Martinsburg, Hon.
Marshall Mccormick, of Berryville, and
Col. Jack Lee, OF Lynchburg, Va. The
prosecution was conducted by States
Attorney Geo. ID. Moore, assisted by Col.
Forrest w. Brown.

The Apple Situation.


There is little change in the apple Sit
uation since our last report. The buyers
who are in the ombination refuse to give
an advance over the prices offered last
week, namely $l.25 a barrel for Ben
Davis, $3.50 Tor Works, and Sl.75 to 81 90
tor Black Twigs and WinesapS, and in
quirieS made OF dealers and commission
men in the eastern and northern cities
have elected replies TO the effect that
there is comparatively little demand for
the fruit in wholesale lots. 1t is likely
that a considerable part OF the crop in
this section will be sold at the above tig-
ures, while other growers will put their
apples in cold storage to await better
prices.
Some OF the big orchards OF Berkeley
county have been sold at prices ranging
from 81 80 TO g a barrel. VIM Stewart
had a representative travelling in the
South, and it is said that he has disposed
OF about sixty carloads OF apples at g a
barrel. John Miller, the apple king OF
Berkeley county, will store his entire
crop. Among the crops that are reported
as having been sold in the Winchester
neighborhood are the following: VIM. S.
Hlett, $1,000 barrels at Sl.75; Albert An
derson, 10000 barrels at 81; Mr.. Weems,
1900 barrels at $175.
Apple picking has commenced in this
section, though there is no particular
hurry about it, as the apples are still gain
ing in size and color.
