Apple Time.

J. n. Lewis in the Houston Post.
Along about this time o. ysar.
About thousand miles from here.
There is q place where all around
Are apples layin' on the ground;
And any man can drive from town
Most any day and can get down
And load his wagon to the seat
With apples that king would eat:
And the farmer would tell him then:
"No; not a pennyl Call again "
That memory appeals to me-,
A load of dead-ripe apples freel
The farmers busy with his crops
And don't care for the fruit that drops;
| used to love to tramp out far
To where those rosy apples are.
And tuck those rosy apples in
Till cider drippsd off of my chin,
Aud mother would be scared at night
For fear I'd lost my appetite.
Them was the days of long ago
When apple blossoms used to blow
Across my path, and l would be
Acquainted with each apple tree.
And figure up the seasons eats;
And watch the tree of golden sweets
That every farmer has and sigh
For the days comm by and by, 4
When he would let me. load up at
Most every tree exceptin' that.
Them was the apples that we hookedl
Whenever that there farmer looked
The other way. then we would fill
Our shirts with golden sweets until
We was as round as balloon!
Talk not to me of days of June!
Twas when the suns of August days
Shone bright and warm across our ways
That used to mean the most to me
OF all the days that used to be.

Good Gubernatorial Timber.

Every Democrat and half the
Republicans of the State, like
Doc" Clark, of Mcdowell, and
would improve the opportunity,
If given the chance, to vote for
the big, brairiy, 1oveable Aescu-
lapius from the Flat Top country
for Governor of West Virginia.
There are no better Democrats
on earth than those who come
from that neck of the woods.
For years men like Lawrence
Tierney, Wyndham Stokes and
L. H. Clark, have been devoting
their time and substance to the
unfolding of Democratic ideals
in a section where they can hard
ly hope to elect constable.
Isn't it about time that South
Eastern West Virginia was con-
sidered in casting ABOUND for,
winning gubernatorial timber.?

''Womans Honor" in Georgia

The mayor of Atlanta, the editor of
a Marietta paper, and all the other en-
dorsrs of the mob that murdered Leo
Frank, in making their excuses for
that act invariably places emphasis on
the South's reverence for women.
They point to the lynching of Frank as
proof of the distance they will go to
protect woman, or to avenge any
crime against her. This chivalric at
titude toward the weaker sex, highly
commemorate as it is, does not appear
to have extended to legislative halls,
however, as Georgia is far down the
list of states having laws for the pro-
lection of girls and young women.
If girl is an orphan, or the daugh-
ter of dependent parents. she may 90
to work in factory in Georgia when
she Is eight years of age, Otherwise
she must be fourteen to enjoy the
privilege of laboring in factory, but
as there are no inspectors to see that
the girls really are fourteen, it
is said that one third of all the
factory children in Georgia are
under that age. The age of consent in
Georgia is ten years. It is not lower,
if as low. in any state of the union.
Granting all that Georgians say about
the South's protection of women, they
could boast of it more becomingly if
they surrounded the girls-th future
women-with more safeguards. Wheel

Here's a Toast to The Horse

don't know who wrote this toast to
the horse. but I'd rather read it than
Vests dog speech:
Here's to that bundle of septient

eye of gazelle, the courage of a.
gladiator the docility of slave, the
proud carriage of a king and the blind
obedience Of a soldier; the companion
of the desert plain, that turns the moist
burrows in the spring in orderthat all
the world may have abundant harvest:
that furnishes the sport Of kings, that
with blazing eye and distended nostril
fearlessly leads our greatest generals
through carnage and renown, whose
blood forms one of the ingredients that
go to make the ink in which all history
ia written, and who finally in black
trappings. pulls the humblest of us to

The German Diplomatic
Notes.
(Communicated)
Charles Town, W. Va.
Sept. 1st, 1915.


i. Sept. 1st, 1915.
Editor Free P4ess:-
In the Advocate
next Friday | expect to reply to the
article written by Mr.. T. c. Green
which recently appeared insyour paper
and the Advocate also. In the Ed torial
in the Free Press on the 10Th of Aug
ust. in your criticism of my letter, you
stated that you desired to confne your
self to comment on but two propositions
advanced by the writer and you pro
ceeded to do so.
l did say that the second U. 5. note
to Berlin was "brusque'', and. in SUBJ
stance, that it was lacking in sufficient
ly polite terms of diplomatic expires
sion. But you suppressed my further
thought, namely, that amid the man
-ifold perplexities, distress, miseries
and calamilies of war-cdrsed Europe,
that any communication to any Of the
European powers should be highly dis
tinguished by that generous and polite
diplomatic EXPRESSION which not only
does never weaken, but does always
powerfully strengthen the arguments
of just and courageous people, and
that we who dwell apart and in peace
can well afford to deal with our war
torn kindred across the sea with wise
and nobly generous forbearance
You seem to think that felony had
been. committed by Germany in the
sinking of the Lusitania and the Arabic;
that raises question of law. Most
earnestly do maintain that the action
of the German. Government cannot be
classed as felonious. It brought about
diplomatic situation, an international
law suit, so to speak; and we are now
only too thankful that the president
has SO far come out victorious in the
controversy. This international law
suit with Germany was to be settled
either by diplomacy. arbitration or
war. It looked at one time as though
it could not be settled by diplomacy
and many thought that the signs point
ed toward war. You seem to have
favored a severance of diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany; I did not. II
favored arbitration.
Whenever the head of nationseems
to be drifting toward war; it is not
only the right, but the duty of every
citizen, high and low, to protest if he
believes the national leader is pursuing
the wrong course, If the masses had
expressed themselves in Europe before
the controversy began, it is probable
the awful catastrophy would not have
resulted.

formed that the open season for
squirrels begins September Is This is
wrong and the correct open season is
from September 10th until December

Dubious Economy.
From the Boston Transcript.

An old couple who used to buy quart
of ale every night were persuaded by a
friend to purchase q keg of the bever-
age on economical grounds. The evening
that the keg was preached and the
first quart consumed the old wife said:
well George, we've saved five cents
on our ale tonight. and FIVE cents saved
is FIVE cents earned.
That's So" replied her husband.
Lets have another quart and save
ten cents. -

Neither will adults unaccompanied nv
children be permitted to occupy the
