LOYAL CITIZEN.

For the Charles Town newspapers:
Editors am a Charles Townian
by birth, and my Father and Mother
natives of Charles Town from child
hood. / am a lover and loyal cit
izen of Charles Town. Last spring
/ was appointed to see. number OF
the residents of Charles Town and
had the names of between two and
three hundred of our own influential
people who gladly signed their names
protesting against changing the name
of Charles Town. The majority of
these people were born in Charles
Town and also their parents before
them. / have been again informed
this year and know that our own peo-
pie have a pride and sentiment con-
corning the name of our own Town
that a new people cannot appreciate,
and We are extremely Loyal to its
Honored Name, that We have called
our Home from infancy. So now
do emphatically state and am urged
by our own people to say, that we
have never taken an initial step to
change the name of Charles Town
and no other city or town or party in
the whole United States have the
right to kill the name of Charles
Town and impose or force one on US
in opposition to our will and protest
Then here's to Baby Ransom
So youthful in the game,
Don't you propose to Charles Town
Or try to change her name.

A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is good plan to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They are strongly rec
commended by Charles Town people
Ask your neighbor!
Mrs. Lawrence Allen, PA w
Washington St., Charles Town, saws
Some years ago my kidneys were
causing me lots of trouble. 1t first
came on with sharp pain stabbinp
me through the small of my back.
For days l could not bend one way or
the other and could not sit down.
My back ached steadily and / suffer
ed everything. My kidneys acted
irregularly and caused me a great
deal of annoyance. AS another
member of my family had used
Doan's Kidney Pills with such good
results, / got two boxes at Brown &
Hooff's Drug Store. Doan's cured
me of this attack. recently had
another attack and again used Doan's
Kidney Pills with the same good re-
suits statement given December
ID, 1850
On February ID, 1921 Mrs. Allen
said: II have not had any sign of kid
ney complaint since / first recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. They
cured me and the cure has been a
lasting one. can not say too much
for Doan's."
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Allen had. Foster-Milburn

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which Is
an infamed condition Of the mucous
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

WAR wHooPs FROM TAMMANY

1t seems as if one good whipping is
not sufficient to quiet the fghtlng
propensities of Shenandoah tribe OF
Tammany as it warriors have broken
out of the Reservation and taken to
the war path, fully armed and hunt
ing for trouble. Our Scouts report
great confusion and disorder in the
Camp of the enemy and advise an i'm
mediate attack all along the front
line: as Tammany always attacks in
front.
The Campaign therefore j s on,
scalp dances are being held, and shots
will be fired and scalps taken when
ever possible.
Two things are wholly compre-
hensible to the average Tammany
mind: the impossibility of our Nation
trying to function as the leading
member of the Association of
Nations" in its efforts to prevent
War and preserve peace, without sur
rending a portion of our National
Sovereignty; and the utter futility of
our Nation trying to function as the
Worlds Model in service and sacri-
fee, without being entangled in
foreign alliances.
Our Medicine Man has been study
ing the pedigree of the administra-
ton, and he finds the Cabinet to be a
Mongral Combination, a cross be-
tween Covenanter and lrrecconcil-
able with chaos as the progeny.
Certainly they are incapable of any
constructive legislation unless a
separate peace with Germany, or an
emergency tariff law is constructive.
One of our chiefs, who has been
making laws and taking scalps, will
soon return to the Wigwam, with a
number of scalps to his belt and one
on his head, we trust.
The rumor that has been in circu-
lation that the Junction wishes to
charge its name is not true; as we
never permit a few stragglers from
hostile tribes to run our Wigwam.
We make our own fires and drink our
own home brew.
There may be however, some truth
in the report that a number of our
braves and possibly a few of our
squaws are already training for the
Congressional, legislative and con-
stable nominations.
Our Wigwam extends a welcome
always to the Spirit of Jefferson, as
no Democratic meeting can function
successfully without the presence of
the Spirit of Jefferson; our doors
and hearts are also open to the Advo-
cate of good morals, wise legislation
and healthful enterprises.

LEGISLATURE MEETS IN EXTRA
SESSION TO COMPLETE
BUSINESS.
Appropriations, Primary Law And
Asxexsraerts Subject.

Appropriations, Primary Law And
Assessments Subject.
Charleston, May 2.-The West
Virginia legislature, having adjourn
ed it's regular 1921 session shortly
before o'clock Saturday morning
last, after passing compromise
gross sales tax bill, convened again
at noon Saturday in extra session to
take up subjects recommended by
Governor Morgan in his proclama-
ton. The session lasted for only
two hours, adjournment until Mon
day following.
The governors message came at
the close of the most strenuous leg
islative day of the session and in
Guided five subjects for the consid-
Grafton Of the members.
These subjects are: Appropria-
tions, provisions for which were not
touched on at the regular session; the
primary law, which would change
the methods of nominating candi-
dates for public Offices; assessment OF
taxes, relating to the duties and
mowers of the state tax commissioner,
his salary, and to the duties and
powers of county assessors; the char
ter of Parkersburg, and the fifth sub
ject to consider appropriations to pay
for the extra session.
In view of the fact that Governor
Morgan singles out assessment tax
alton" as one of the subjects before
the special session, it is believed that
he intends to veto the bill bearing
that title already passed by the leg
islature.
When the regular sessions came to
an end the joint committee on enroll
ed bills reported that 204 bills had
passed both branches. These meas
urs included the bills. reorganizing
the road commission, recodifying the
road laws, authorizing the issuance
of S15,0OO,000 in bonds for good
roads purposes, providing for the re-
organization of the national guard, a
measure increasing the state police
force from two to four companies,
creating a water power commission,
and creating commissions to recodify
the state laws, on negro welfare, on
the game and fish industry, and on
vital statistics, and measure repeal
ing the so-called ripper" law, re-
storing to the governor the power to
remove at his pleasure any state ap-
pointive officer.

ANOTHER PROTEST AGAINST
CHANGE OF NAME.

To the Editor of the Spirit of JEFF
ferson:-To many of the residents of
Charles Town, the thought of chang
ing the name of the town is most I'M
welcome. Besides being unwise and
unnecessary, for it will cause con-
fusion and inconvenience for years to
come, it will destroy many historical
associations and lower a respectable
well known place to the level of the
newest water station or mining camp
In Mcdowell or Fayette County in
West Virginia. The substitution of
city for town is ridiculous for a place
OF this size, and the fact that there is
Charles City in Maryland, and one
in Virginia which have been well
known for years, makes it improbable
that our mail will ever reach here I'M
til it has sojourned for week or two
In one or the other of these metro
polises or Charles Cities. Chrleston
OF course, wishes the change, but the
Idea that State Legislature, with
out the knowledge of the parties most
interested should decide to take awav
towns good name is something new
IN legislation, even in West Virginia,
VINO steals my purse steals trash
tbs something nothing:
Twas mine tits his and has bean
slave to thousand;
But he that fishes from me nv good
name,
Robs me of that which not enriches
him,
And makes me poor indeed"
AS true of towns this is as of in
dividuals. Many years ago | was in
London and dined with Lady Carmi-
chael, widow of a celebrated English
Admiral. She asked me where I lived
In THE States" said a "place Won
nave never heard of,--Charles Town"
Some one said-"Why that is where
john Brown was hung" After din
ner large atlas was brought into
the room and our hostess looked nm

ed, knowing the inadequacy of ENG
hsh maps where this country is con-
cerned, but to my joy and pride. the
only TWO places deemed worthy of
note In West Virginia were Wheeling
and tucked down in it's little eastern
corner, Charles Town. Wbere ever
you go you find someone who has
known and liked us. Let Charleston
add romantic Kanawha to its i'll got.

erlsm, and let us keep our own and
