REGARDING CHILD MARRIAGES

Contrary TO popular beliefs that
early marriages are particularly con-
duclye to morality. c. l.. Redfeld. OF
Chicago. addressing the international
Purity Congress. declared that they
were more conducive TO immortality
II say to you. positively" he said.
that these child marriages are lay
ing the foundations for new sources
OF vice and crime. A campaign Of
education on the question OF early mar
riages is urgently needed
Perhaps some OF you think that to
thus delay marriages would be to
largely increase the immortality among
the unmarried. Heretofore you have
based your judgment in such mat
tiers on common sense. but am telling
you now that there Is a sound scien-
tific reason, heretofore overlooked why
such mari iages are an injury 10 the
race. The injury is not TO those who
marry. but to those who come after
them. The product of those early mar
riages is the first step in the produc-
ton of those forms of vice which we
have upon our shoulders to eradicate.
Il am not asking that all marriages
be delayed to the age OF 25 or S5 years.
That may or may not come in the
future when we know more than we do
now, but at present I am asking that
we put a stop to the marriage of child
ren-a stop to that kind of reproduc-
ton which breeds the mentally and
morally unfit"

skill and make the game more inter
esting than the Gymnasium game. In
the various games teams representing
the different tents will compete against
each other. All games won whether
individual or team games will be scor-
ed for the tent winning. AT the close
of the camp the tent having the best

II is probable that the average citi-
zen would break the game laws with
less computations OF conscience,
should the opportunity AFFORD, than
any other Law on the statute books.
Many citizen who is law abiding
in every other way. will catch under
sized FISH or shoot partridge out of
season IL he is convinced that there Is
no game warden lurking in his vicin-
ity. M
There is no reason why the game
laws should not be respected as much
as any other laws on the statute books
Breaking one law, breeds disregard
for all law, and is the first step to-
wards a criminal career.

Afro-American War.


The colored folks OF the community
gave Halloween entertainment in Hart
zell's hall last Saturday night, to which
were invited various members OF society
from Martinsburg and other neighboring
villages. The party began peaceably
enough, but by the time midnight had
arrived very spirited engagement was
on. The Senegambian troops from Mar
tinsburg attempted charge on the Afro
Americans from ShepherdstoWn, but they
were quickly outflanked and forced 10
cover in their trenches. AT this critical
moment someone turned out all the cleo
trio lights, and there was dell OF con-
fusion. There was no way OF telling
friend from foe, and the screams OF the
women and the yellS OF the men alarmed
the entire neighborhood. The very strin-
gent law against toting pistols and the
universal use OF safety raZorS in place OF
the old reliable blades formerly so use
full in scrimmage Of this sort proved a
very serious handicap TO the belllgerents,
who had only fists and feet with which to
fight AT the height OF the engagement
Sergeant Crowl and his deputized assist
ant, Willis Skinner, arrived on the scene
and caught some OF the most active OF the
warriors, and the arrest Of the ringleaders
finally caused a cessation OF hostilities
and the breaking up OF the soiree. Mon
day the offenders were hailed before
Mayor Martin, who assessed them for
fines and costs as follows Walter Jack
son, $7.60; Pete Woods, $l205, Peter
paying bit more than the others because
of his growing reputation as disturber
OF the peace; Raymond Devonshire,
$7.05; Buster Devonshire, S. o.. 1t is a
cause for regret that all OF those found
guilty are of home talent, none OF the
MartinSburg gents being proved guilty.

Brother Moody Caught At Last.

Rev. B. T. Moody, the discredited
Southern Methodist preacher and Odd
Fellow who sWindled several persons in
Shepherdstown a few weeks ago, has
come to grief, just as was TO be expected.
He was arrested in Kenova, w. Va, on
Monday, and Tuesday was taken to Bris-
toll, Va, where he will await trial for
many infractionS Of the law. There are
some twenty charges against him for
giving bogus checks and for forgery, and
il is said that he will also be prosecuted
under the white slave law. Moody was
in Shepherdstown from October 7th to
llth, stopping at the Hotel Rumsey with
a woman who was represented as Ills
wife, but who was in reality Mrs. Effie
Thomas, wife of farmer living at Lodi,
Va. When they left here Moody paid
his bill with bogus check and also sue
ceeded in swinding kindly disposed
acquaintance in the same way. A day
or Two after they efthere circular giving
an account Of his msdeeds was received
together with reward for his arrest, but
he had disappeared from this section. A
short time ago Mrs. Thomas left him and
returned TO her home, where she gave
information that led to his arrest. There
are enough charges against him TO keep
him in Jail the balance OF his life If he
should be convicted on them all.

For Better Road Work.

The County Court of Jefferson county
on Monday last purchased an auto-truck
with capacity of ton and a-half for
use in the bodybuilding operations ofthe
county The machine selected is the
Little Giant" manufactured in Chicago.
and it was purchased from the National
Highway Garage, of Shepherdstown,
represented by W. B. Snyder. The price
is 81 ,450 II will have specially built
body, constructed both for hauling pas
sengers and crushed stone. The object
in purchasing the truck is to speedily haul
prisoners in the county Jail to and from
the points where road work is going on.
This service alone has been costing four
dollars day. With the truck the men
can be rapidly carried to and from work,
and the balance OF the day the truck will
be used in hauling crushed stone. Ii is
believed that its use will give greatly in
creased service at reduced cost. Under
the present law prisoners oil a certain class
sentenced TO the county jail must be made
TO work on the public roads, and il has
been problem how to get efficient ser
vice from them.
Supervisor Charles w. Carter has a
force OF men at work improving the public
road between Shepherdstown and Duf-
fields, and the Improvement is notable.
The road is being ditched and graded
where needed, and the stone is crushed
tine enough TO bed itself in very short
time. The run at the Lucas place has
been carried under the road by means Of
pipe, and bad hole has thus been elimi-
mated. AT the OSbourn farm, formerly
the J. B. Lucas place, ditch across the
road that has been nuisance for great
many years has at last been done away
with, an underground pipe having been
laid. Rocky places in the road have been
made smooth and easy. Mr.. Carter is
doing good work on this road.
The turnpike between Charles Town
and Harper's Ferry is getting in bad con-
dition. Owing to the lack OF ditching the
road has been washed in number OF
places, and unless attentions soon given
it the repairs will be costly.

you must reach the cause.-The kidneys.
Ii you have pain through the small ofyour

For Benefit of The Hospital.

Mrs. E. E. Cooke and Miss Murphy, OF
Charles Town. were in Shepherdstown
on Tuesday, where they were in CONSUL
tation with number OF ladies OF this
place in project to aid the hospital in
Charles Town. II is earnestly desired to
raise a fund OF 5000 by thanksgiving
day in order to pay off part of the in
debtedness, and if each OF the 10 900 peo-
pie in the county will pay from fifty cents
10 dollar this could readily be done.
The people here agreed TO help this pro-
iect, and it was further agreed TO form an
organization to raise fund for the pur-
pose of helping to pay the expenses OF
persons in Shepherdstown district who
cannot themselves afford hospital treat
ment. This hospital is very beneficial
institution, and we hope that all the peo-
pie of the county will cheerfully help it.
Membership in the proposed organization
will be dollar year, but lesser sums
will be accepted from those who may not
be able to pay dollar. We shall have
more to say on this subject next week.

WEAK, AILING CHILD

UdUO DV1VIt6 ~ |o11o1o1- -
Lakeport, N. H. Our little girl 8
years of age was in debilitated, run
down condition and had stubborn
cough so she was weak and ailing all
the time. Nothing helped her until
we tried Vinol. Then her appetite
increased and she is strong and well, and
I wish other parents of weak, delicate
children would try Vinol. GEO. A.

This is because Vinol contains the
tissue building, strengthening cod liver
elements and the tonic iron which weak
and rundown system needs.
