NOMINEES TALK
TO BIG CROWD
Monster Crowd Turns Out for
Political Rally. in. School,
house at SardiS.

SARDIS. Oct 10.-One Of the great
est crowds that ever turned out TO
hear political speaking here was
present Monday night at the Sardis
school house at a monster political
rally which was addressed by several
of the Republican county candidates.
II was regular old fashioned Repub-
llcan jamboree. The crowd was most
enthusiastic and every time a speaker
showed up the Democratic misrepre-
sensations In their true light the ap-
plause was loud and long.
The speakers who addressed the
meeting were R. NJ. Fisher, candidate
for house OF delegates; Will e. Morris,
candidate for prosecuting attorney;
Ira l.. Swiger. nominee for assessor;
Charles A. Sutton. candidate for Judge
Of the criminal court; Lloyd D. Griffin.
nominee for sheriff: and S. r. Harri-
son, Jr., candidate for the house of
delegates.
The meeting was called to order by
L. NJ. Hustead and the speeches fol.
lowed. Because OF the number OF
speakers. the speeches were necessar-
lily short, but every one bristled with
good old Republican doctrine-the
doctrine that has brought prosperity
to the American people without the
aid OF foreign war. the kind that has
upheld American rights at home and
abroad
Republicans of the district are unit
ed this year and even many Democrats
concede that the G. o. P. tickets will
carry the district by over 200 votes.

TESTIMONY
Is Taken in Federal Court in a
Suit over Valuable West
Virginia Lands.

Testimony was taken Tuesday in
United States district court here,
Judge A. G. Dayton sitting. in the
case Of Drusa Sturm and others. OF
Gllmer county. against the Rev. John
S. Stump, of Parkersburg; the
Baptist Home Mission So
ciety and the Latin-American I'm
provement Association, Inc, in which
the plaintiffs. seek to set aside deeds
of Daniel Huffman, an aged farmer
and Baptist preacher of Gilmer coun-
ty, which gave the major part OF
his estate to the defendants.
The estate consists mostly of
realty in Gilmer, Braxton and Cal
houn counties, which of late years
have accumulated greatly in value,
being now worth in excess OF $780,
900, perhaps as much as 500, 900.
1t is contended by the plaintiffs, who
are the heirs at law of Daniel Huff
man, that he was so feeble physical
ly and mentally at the time OF deed
ing the property that he was in
capable Of doing SO legally. Daniel
Huffman died in March. 1916. at the
age Of 90 years. The deeds transfer
ring his property to the Baptist or
CARNATIONS were made several yea1
before he died.

The man who pcnned those lines

SEARCH CONTINUES
FOR MISSING CREW
of the British Freight Steam
ship Blown Up by German
Submarine.

NEWPORT, II. l., Oct. 10.-The
crew o! the British freight steamship
Kingstonian, missing since Sunday
when its members abandoned the ship
at the order OF the German raiding
submarine in the waters of Nantuck-
ct shoals lightship, had not been
heard from Tuesday. Eleven torpedo
boat destroyers were despatched to
the vicinity of the lightshlp by Rear
Admiral Gleaves to continue the
search.
No further report of the submarine
or submarines which restroyed six
steamships Sunday on the trans-At-
lantic lane that rounds the lightship
same to hand Tuesday. There has
been no trace of the submersible since
its last victim went to the bottom
Sunday night.
Search for the missing crew said to
number more than fifty men was
halted Monday on receipt Of reports
that some of them had been found.
There was no confirmation from any
source by wireless and in fact the
report was officially denied. AS the
men had been afloat for more than
thirty-six hours in open boats and
probably without food or adequate
clothing the anxiety on the part Of the
destroyer feet to locate them became
more intense especially as the wealth
er Monday night became extremely
cold.
