Do You Have
Rheumatism ?

If you are one of those who suffer
from this terrible malady, you will
be interested in the following letter
written by Louisa Beaver, 4SO
Homeview Ave-, Springfield, Ohio.
Here's what she said. "For years
| suffered horrible pains from rheu--
matism in my shoulder, elbows and
knees, also my hands. My finger
joints wer ebadly swollen, and along
with this came Indigestion and other
stomach troubles which would cause
me to belch up sour matter. 1t SEEM
ed that / couldn't find anything to
give me relief so that / could do my
Homework. Finally / got Nerv--
Worth and took it as directed, and
all these rheumatic pains and other
troubles have left me. | can't full
ly express my gratitude for the mer-
its of Nerv- Worth and it's prompt
action" That ought to convince
you that Wentworth is something
more than ordinary medicine. Here s
an offer for you. Go to your drug
gist and buy a bottle of Wentworth
and if, after you have taken it, you
don't feel that this first bottle has
helped you, you druggist is authoriz-
ed to refund your money. Nerv-
Worth is sold by Miller's Pharmacy
and all leading druggists everywhere,

SHALL THE NAME OF CHARLES
TOWN BE STRICKEN FROM
THE MAP.

AS will be seen in another column
is is proposed to strike the old his
toric name of Charles Town from
the map and substitute for it name
that as yet no one knows. There
may be some inconvenience and de-
lay now, but if such movement
should succeed we predict that it will
lead to endless confusion, and it will
be after the present generation have
been laid beside their fathers in
Edge Hill Cemetery before such a
mixup would end. We cannot believe
and we don't believe that anything
like a majority of the citizens of
Charles Town would be in favor of
celebrating the name of the old
town.
Charles Town was historic and
noted place when the deer and wild
turkey roamed at will up and down
the banks of the Kanawha and the
spot where Charleston now stands
was bowling wilderness. So why
should we change our name. Ii
there is any changing of name to be
done let Charleston do 1t.
Just start a movement to change
the name of Charleston or Winches-
ter or Martinsburg and see how
quick it is turned down. And yet
the people of Charles Town are ask
ed to forget all the traditions of the
past, to ignore the historic value of
the town name, and to change to one
that is not given as yet.
We hope everyone that is asked
to sign the petition for such change
of name will give it serious thought
before doing so.

/ WANT THE NAME OF CHARLES
TOWN CHANGED.

At a meeting of number of citi-
zens of Charles Town held last Tues
day evening movement was started
to change the name of Charles Town.
1t is claimed that loses and incon-
venience to shippers and business
correspondence on account of the
similarly of the name of Charleston
necessitates the change.
1t is proposed that a selection of
another name for the town will be
made by the people themselves.
They will be asked to suggest names.
A committee of three to be appoint
ed by the Mayor will choose the
name from among those sent in, and
prize of $50 will be paid to the first
person Offering the acceptable one.
The petition with the signatures
OF the business men taking the ini-
tlatlve In the movement is appended.
At meeting of number of bust
ness men on September 18th, in dis
cusslng the lack of progress made by
our town it was the general opinion
that the fundamental cause was the
unfortunate similarity existing be-
tween the names of Charles Town
and Charleston.
Investigation shows that the popu-
lation of Charles Town has decreased
slowly but steadily and that a num-
Der of manufacturing plants who
have been impressed with the locality
have turned it down on account of
this condition which has lost to our
town thousands of dollars. At this
time there is large concern which
considers the locality favorable but
who cannot locate here on account
of this condition, which will mean
still further loss.
1t was therefore decided that we
would circulate this petition with the
view of getting the sentiment of the
public on the question of the advisa-
bility of changing the name to one
which will relieve us of the handicap
under which we have been struggling.
The name Charlesboro has been
suggested, but this also bears too
strong a resemblance in name to 9TH
er cities and is not good writable
word. The Committee therefore
concluded that an open competition
be held offering as a prize the sum
of $4,000 to the first person present
ing the name which would be accep-
ted by a Committee of three to be
appointed by the Mayor of Charles
Town, one of which committee is to
be woman. In order to change the
name it is necessary to present bill
to the State Legislature requesting
the privilege of amending the Char
ter sanctioning this change.
We therefore present to you this
petition for signature which sigma
ture will indicate your approval Of
the suggested change.
Respectfully yours,
S. w. Washington, Chairman

FOR THE SAKE OF TRADITIONS,

Dear Charles Town:
4 We are informed that the citizens of
your community are, -or at least Al or-
ton of them, L contemplating changing
the name of Charles Town because of
certain confusion which exists as re-
suit of the similarity between Charles
Town" and Charleston" both in this
state. We are ready to admit that it is
a matter which concerns your citizens
primarily, and that we can speak only as
one who is interested only as citizen of
the section. but the news that such a
move was being considered struck US
Immediately as unwise and we dare en-
ter protest.
About Charles Town hangs history
in which walk military heroes. leaders
in national life and thought, traditional
hospitality which is unsurpassed in sbon
taneity and genuineness, an atmosphere
of southern spirit which has persisted in
spite of all efforts to make the progress
ivism of the North dominant. These
things are eloquent testimonials to the
fine quality of your life, and we submit
that those people who know your com
munity, and those people may be found
in every corner of the nation and are in
number probably greater than for any
community in the United States of equal
size, know of it as "Charles Town"
and know of this famous hospitality and
fine type of citizenship as of Charles
Town" We should be extremely sorry
and we suspect that the host of your
friends would also be very sorry if you
were to give up your name-not that
the change would alter your spirit or
your Unborn fine qualities but only that
it is a concession to commercialism.
Your correspondents who mistake
Charleston for Charles Tow" might
be asked to be a bit more careful in for
warding their consignments in order to
eliminate the reported Losses through
confusion of names. Other cities have
the same trouble to more or less the
same degree. "Martinsburg," for in
stance. is the name for more than 3
dozen cities and towns in the United
States. some of them as close as Penn
sylvania. In addition she completes in
name with "Martinsville" and New
Martinsville. Your difficulty, you see,
is not strange one.
But we do not want to be deprived Of
the privilege of saying to our friends
that we in Martinsburg live near Charles
Town" and thereby see arise in these
friends who have not heard of the fame
of Martinsburg the recognition of a
name that is long in history and con-
spicuous in its production of great men
and preservation of fine traditions.
So our vote, you see, is against the
change.
Yours in a spirit of friendliness.
vOX POPULI.
The above is taken from Mondays E.
dition of the Martinsburg World which
expressed the sentiment of our neigh
Dor on the question of the proposed
change of name of Charles Town.
