Infantile Paralysis.

1t is with much regret that we state
that there is a case of infantile par
alysis in town. For several days past
George T. Hodges, the 2l-months- old
son of Samuel !. Hodges, had been
sick, and DR. Burwell. the attending
physician, was anxious concerning Q
the symptoms. Tuesday he called into
consultation DR.. Albin, of Charles
Town, and after further observation
they yesterday diagnosed the case as
the dread poliomyelitis. Ii is the on
ly case in town, and as the child has
not been away from home, there is no
knowledge as to how it was infected.
There are perhaps ten or twelve cases
in Hagerstown and Washington county
Md, and it may have come from that
section. When the disease prevailed
throughout the country several years
ago our community was spared, not a
single case having occurred here. The
little boy now i'll is reported to be
paralyzed on one side, and has the
Characteristic symptoms of the disease,
The house has been auarantined, and
every effort will b. made, Of course. to
prevent a spread Of the infection.

mems hall Tuesday night to hear
hrmer Senator c. J. Faulkner speak
on the issues OF the present campaign,
and those who were present were we'll

Apple Season Ending.

Pretty nearly all of tffe apples in this
section have been picked, the crop hav-
ing been gathered without q drop of
rain having fallen while the work was
going. on. A good many of the apples
nave been sold, though the prices have
been Tar from satisfactory, while large
quantities have been put in cold stor-
age to await rise. There Is but little
demand for culls or cider stuff, and the
price offered Is only about enough to
pay for the handling of such stock
so to 40 cents hundred pounds.
Though prices rule so low to the pro-
ducer, the consumers in the city have
to pay plenty for apples, the price be-
ing more than doubled by the time the
retailer sells the fruit.

Have YOU yet placed your name

Have you yet placed your name on
the Democratic rolls? If not, do so
at once. Next Tuesday is the last
day on which you can enroll. Write
your name in full, and don't fail to
do the writing yourself. It has come
to our attention that many folks are
in the habit of telling the clerk to
ego ahead and write it, it is all right"
Thus it is registered that you can't
write your name, and this is redec-
ton on yourself and your county and
state. No matter how poorly you
write, do your own writing. There
are not a great many good penmen
in the country, and you are not by
yourself if you can't write good. But
don't forget to enroll, whether you
can write or not. You are part OF
the Democratic party, and as such
1T is your duty to enroll and to vote.

That fellow, Franklin Roosevelt
is a man we admire. His type OF
man means something to this coun-
try. Much as we disliked some of the
things about President Roosevelt, he
hod many qualities that. appealed to
the full-blooded American, and his
kinsman, Franklin, possesses many
of the same characteristics, without
the bombast of his greater cousin.
If Franklin D. Roosevelt is not the
president of the United States some
day we miss our guess.

It is not credit to Bamberg that
only 63 voters of the town were sufh-
ciently interested to vote in the bond
election Thursday. There are sew
eral hundred voters in Bamberg, and
only 63 thought enough about spend
ing $4,000 to even go to the court
house and express themselves about
it. If there had been some hot poll
tics the voters would have swarmed
to the polls, but when it is matter
of home affairs, there is no interest.
In matters that mean moth
ing to the town, but in which
there is much talk, the people have
laid aside their duties for day to
take a part in politics, but in this
matter, wherein town improvements
and taxation are involved, the people
have not the time nor the inclination
to take a few minutes of their time
to even express themselves.

TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.

Some of the suffrage leaders of the
country are making quite a spectacle
of themselves in their efforts to in
duce the willy thirty-sixth state to
come across with ratification of Wo'
man suffrage. The women must have
one more state, and they must have
it quick, if they are to vote in the
November elections. But when the
thirty-fifth state was reached and Sc
cured, a snag projected, and the snag
persists. It appears that some hne
political work will have to be done
to get that one state that is now need
ed so badly.
The women-the suffrage women
we mean-have about exhausted thell
resources in the effort to get the thir-
ty-sixth state to ratify. They have
threatened, cajoled, argued with and
practically offers to bribe the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties. The
two great parties, their eyes hungrl-
" viewing the 100000 women
voters in the country, are doing their
"darndest" to cop the credit for the
women voting next fall. But the mat
ter hangs. Republican Vermont re-
fuses to be made tool of, and Dem
ocratic Tennessee hangs back.
In the display that is. being made
by the women who are waging the
fight, the vote of the women is cheap
ened in the eyes of right thinking
folks, They openly offer the vote OF
the women to the party that can get
that thirty-sixth state Issues and
men count for nothing. The prlV1-
lege to vote-secured in any manner
is all that is wanted. If the efforts
of the suffrage leaders are success
full in cajoling one or the other of the
big parties in railroading the ratlf1ca-
ton, it certainly appears that it will
have been by the abrogation of prln-
ciple and for the sole purpose of OBJ
tanning votes.
We do not think these women rep
resent the sentiment of the women
of this country. We would hate tc
think so. The proposition as repre-
sented is that the 100000 votes Of
the women of America are to go tc
the highest bidder. Naturally, being
a Democrat, we would like to see
the Democratic candidates get these
votes, if they can be had honoraDly
but the price is too high. There are
some things of more value to the
Democratic party even than electlng
it's ticket. We admire the stand o1
the governor of Vermont IN refusing
to surrender himself, his state ano
his principles, and we would ike &c
see the governor Of Tennessee 90 the
same thing. ....

Would Raise Needed Sum by
Concessions to Foreigners.

LONDON, Dec "a wireless despatch
received from Moscow says that Nikolai
Lenine. the Bolshevik Premier, address
ing the All Russian Congress Soviets.
dealt in detail with measures for the
economic restoration of the country He
declared that the restoration of trans
portation and of agricultural and in
dustrial production was only possible If
the Governments programme for cleo
trification was realized.
IAN electrification plan," said Lenine,
has been elaborated. the financial cost
of which is estimated at 100000. 600
gold rubles. We cannot cover this with
the gold at our disposal, and we have
no great stocks Of provisions for sale.
Therefore we must provide the cost of
electrification by concessions to foreign
capital and exports of timber"
The despatch quotes the Moscow news
papers as saying the Soviet Government
has resolved to abolish the right to pri-
vate ownership of books. All existing
libraries will be appropriated by jthe
State. and in the future It will be illtgal
for private individuals to acquire or
continue to own a book.
