If there is any office within the
gift of the people that needs truly
qualified man it is that Of County
Surveyor. And unlike most other
offices, the longer one man stays on
the job the better he is prepared to
do good work in the experience he
gains on each and every trip. When
surveyor makes a survey of 40
or 80 acre tract many section he
knows just where to go to start and
how to proceed if he is ever called
back into that locality again.
The office of County Surveyor is
unlike all other offices also, with re-
CARDS to pay; there being no salary,
other than a nominal sum of $4,000
per month, so that it is not pie"
job, but just a good hard job that
few can qualify for. with lots of hard
work attached. And if the voters OF
Bryan County vote for l.. Warner
Stinson for County Surveyor on next
Tuesday at the Democratic primary
they will make no mistake. (ady)

LIVE STOCK MARKET

The big reduction in cattle receipts
in two days this week, of 10000
head, restored the market to some
extent although there is still a lack
of keenness in the demand. Stockers

to 40 higher than the close of last
week and il is in this branch of the
trade that sellers will get most COM
fort this fall.

Stockcrs and Feeders
Demand is above the supply this
week. and the outlook is fine for a
continued good demand. Illinois,
Indiana. Ohio, and Iowa all have
fine corn prospects, and are low on
cattle, and the cattlemen are be

stock cows and heifers $500 to
.$6.75.

a higher market for a time. Order
buyers bought hogs at strong prices
early, paying up to $3.50, but pack
ers continued their fight on prices,
and paid no better than steady; the
bulk OF sales $3.50 to 1915, light
weights 1856. Pork chops are two
cents lower this week, but the retail

1t is strongly urged that farmers

TAKES PART in
CAPITAL NEWS

II Governor Hatfield had remained
in the background and effaced him
self, the candidacy Of the Taylor
county man would have been i'm
measurably stronger. AS matter
of plain truth, l think he would
have had clear weather and easy
sailing. AS it is now, and has been
in the case in the past several cam
paigns, the governor has taken the
center of the stage, grabbed the spot
light and is making himself the is
sue. If he keeps up. as 1t has start
ed, Judge Robinson and his other
friends will have to work night and
day, to keep the judge from not get
ting lost in the shadows.
I'm view of this it begins to look
and | heard the opinion exprJjsed
many times by men Of sound Judg-
ment, that Former Governor A. B.
White will have no opposition for
the senatorial nomination. The emf
nent fitness and numerous superior
qualifications for this high place it
is universally conceded by Republic
cans Governor White possesses
in "a high degree. 1t would be a
very good thing for our part If we
could have the senatorial question
settled without bitter factional
fight. The party is having enough
with the other Offices, and it would
be of some advantage to it in the
general campaign II it could be saw
ed from internecine strife on this
particular issue.
1T is my opinion that in the First
district, and l was in several coun-
ties In that district, that Col. Thos.
w. Fleming has the nomination won,
and the count of the votes at the
primary will prove 1t. Col. Flem-
ing started early, has made an ag-
gressive and winning campaign. He
has taken well with the public and
has had the advantage of being left
alone to organize his campaign with
out hindrance or the presence in the
district Of his opponent, Hon. Julian
H. Hearne. Mr.. Hearne has been
in California for several months, and

No man or woman who eats meat

Events Of Washington, D. c.,
Are Reported by Telegram's
Correspondent There.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12-
, Joe MacLain has come to Wash
ington from trip through some of
the counties of northern West Vir-
GINA. Mr.. MacLain is widely
known to the politicians of the state,
as he is credited by them as having
been the real punch behind Davis
Elkins's candidacy for the United
States Senate. Recently, he supplied
the political writer's with some live
copy ,by-figuratively speaking
walking out OF the Elkins political
household. and slamming the door
behind him. In other words, there
was a violation OF the treaty rela-
tions, and it was Belgiumized as
merely scrap Of paper" Some
think that 1t is more of scrap than
that, and Senator Elkins is one OF
them. He is leaving light burn
in the window to welcome the prod
igal when he returns. Mr.. Mac
Lain's friends say there is no come
back. o.
Be that as 1t may be, Mr.. Mac
Lain announced some personal
opinions on the political situation in
West Virginia, confning himself to
the Republican side of it, as 1t films
itself before his penetrating eye. His
announcements indicate TO a large
degree his new associations. II
found on my trip" said MacLain,
that the party leaders, no matter
how or over whom they may differ
otherwise, are very well satisfied to
have Virgil L. Highland on the ma
tional committee and are very con-
tent to have him continue a mem
Der Of that body. He may or may
not have opposition to succeed him
self, but from the number and in
fiuence Of those who are favorable
to his holding on, think that 1t is
pretty safe to predict that Highland
will continue to hold the commits
sion"
"The contest between Attorney
General Lilly and Judge Robinson
is warm one. 1t has reached the
affidavit stage already, which is
breaking the record for an early
start. The prominence of Governor
Hatfield as a protagonist of Judge
Robinson has hindered rather than
helped the Judge. 1t is that which
has caused the candidacy of the
Taylor county man his only trouble.

today expressed himself as favoring
the suggestive selection of sixteen
dlegates to represent the Republican
party of the state at the national con-
vention at Chicago, at a delegate
state convention to be called by the
state executive committee, the action
of the convention to be in the nature
OF recommendation to the party
voters participating in the primary.
II am opposed to any action in the
matter that would have the appear
ance of being leg representative ana
interpretative OF the sentiments OF
the rank and file OF the party as
whole. / resent the suggestion that
has been made by some that the state
committee should select d delegation
Of sixteen and place the stamp of its
official approval upon Its own work.
l most earnestly condemn that sug-.
gestion as decidedly unwise, and one
that should 1t be attempted to be
carried out would pile up additional
troubles for the party.
"But state convention, composed
OF properly chosen delegates from
every county, is quite another thing,
and most satisfactory way, l think,
out Of the dilemma. 1t is the best
plan that has yet been suggested.
At the same convention, see no rea-
son why the supreme court candt-
dates Of the party could not be NOM
mated. With attractions Of this kind
and prospects Of spirited and good
natured contest. cannot but believe
that the gathering OF the representa-
tives OF the party would be a large
one and thoroughly representative
in personnel. It should prove. to
have a very Statutory effect on the
morale of the party in the vigorous
campaign against the common enemy
