Liquor Gets Another Victim.

The Charles Town Advocate says that
the dead body OF d. s. Barnes, manager
of the Green Hill Orchard Company, was
found in field on the farm Of Stanley
Dutterer, two miles north OF that town,
last Friday morning. Search had been
made for the man, who had been miss
ing from his home on the property OF the
Green Hill Orchard Company, for Ten
days, but without results. Barnes, who
was about 60 years OF age, is said to have
been drinking heavily, and on February
7th disappeared from his home So far
as is known he had not been seen by any
one from the time he LETT home until his
body was found II is likely that he died
from exposure. He came from Pennsyl-
vania about year ago 10 take charge OF
the Green Hill Orchard. owned by CAPT.
taliSts OF that State He lived alone in a
house at the orchard A Jury of inquest
was held by Justice II. Y. Sheetz, and after

Government Buys the County Jail.

The government has closed the con-
tract with the County Court for the pur-
chase of the county jail in Charles Town
as the site for the proposed new $4,000
postofiice building. The price, we are
informed, is $4,000. The court reserves
the building, which will be worth some
thing for the material in il or in the con-
struction OF new Jail. The court will
shortly let the contract for modern new
Jail. which will be built in the rear OF the
court house and adjoining that structure
spending approximately $4,000 for the
project, il is said. A modern jail is a
pressing neceSsity-not only because the
old building is out Of date and unsanitary,
but also because CT the fact that II IS too
small and is devoid ofthe facilities neces-
sary for humane and decent treatment Of
prisoners. The price paid by The gov
property is worth, but il was the limit OF
eminent Is not considered as much as The
the Postotfce Department and there were
other reasons that caused the court TO
reach the conclusion that il would be ad
visable TO make the deal. The jail is on
the site OF the old prison in which were
confined John Brown and other members
OF his band who made their famous raid
on Harper's Ferry in 1859. A tablet will
be placed on the new postoffice building
setting forth this historic TACT.

Protesting Against Mail Changes

A delegation OF leading cltlZenS from
Shenandoah Junction and vicinity went
to Washington in force last week and sp-
peared before officials OF the Postoifice
Department 10 protest against the prop
osiiion 10 do away with the rural delivery
mail carriers from that point and transfer
their work to carriers from Kearneysville
and Harper's Ferry. They showed that
practically no fast mail trains stop al
Kearneysville. while number OF such
trains on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
and all OF those on the Norfolk & Western
stop at Shenandoah Junction for the trans
fer of mail and passengers. Ii is said
that the postal officials gave the protesting
Junction delegation assurances that their
place would still be favored with rural
carrier service and that no curtailment OF
facilities would be put in effect. We
think that the people OF the enterprisins
towns and villages are entirely right in
their demands that they shall not be wiped
off the map by arbitrary rulings OF post
office officials sitting in Washington.
There is such thing as OVERRIDING ef-
fIciency, even.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE PARTY
COMING HERE TOMORROW.
Army of Women to be Present at
Opening Of Legislature

Along with the thTougs to come to
Annapolis right quickly after the con-
Yening of the General Assembly will be
a large delegation from the Woman
Suffrage party, which is setting out
the State Capital early for the purpose
OF securing someone to introduce the
Statewide suffrage bill drafted al the
last meeting of the party.
The legislative committee of the Suf-
frage party which will manage the suf-
frage campaign in Annapolis this year.
Is composed of the president of each OF
each of the five constituent suffrage
leagues and the chairman Of, each
leagues legislative committee.
Mrs. William Funck, president OF
the Woman's Suffrage party Mrs.
Charles Z. Elicott, president of the
Equal Suffrage League; Mrs. c. J.
Ogle, acting president of the Just Gov
ernment League, and Mrs. Robert Moss
of this city, will be the generalissimas
of the campaign.
Just who the suffragists viii be able
to secure to present their bill is very
uncertain. They are going to concen-
trate their efforts 10 persuade either
Senator ogden or Congressman Mudd.
both Of whom have always been very
friendly to the suffrage cause. to in
troduce the measure.
A number OF suffragists who will
come to Annapolis this year have had
experience in the November suffrage
campaigns in Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and New York. and though there
is a general belief that a suffrage
measure will be more Overwhelmingly
defeated in the new Legislature than
in the last one, they are preparing to
put up such fight for the cause as
has never been offered in Maryland
