NUMBER 35
Committee MEETING.

Pursuant to Il call issued by
Chairman Jess l.. Hcrn the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee OF
Greenbricr county met mt the Court
House OH last Saturday, the 18th,
for the purpose Of selecting regis
trars to be certified to the County
Court. Prior to the meeting of the
Committee Hon. Vim. L. Chiffon
addressed a large audience of our
people. His speech was logical, eff
fectivc and we'll received. He was
introduced by s. p. Preston.
X. +. Dunlap. State Chairman
had been invited to be present but
was unable to be present. A letter
was read from him in which he
set forth his regrets that he could
not be present. Others to whom
invitations were sent were unable
to be present. The meeting was
we'll atteded and it was the begin
ming of real enthusiasm for an ell
ergetic campaign which Chairman
Hern and the other members of
the Committee will inaugurate i'm
mediately after the August primary
election. There was no purpose in
calling the committee together other
than the formal matter of getting
registrars certified and the speak
ers were invited for the purpose of
having thc issues Of the coming
campaign presented that the peo-
pie might be thinking and inform
ing themselves as to the conditions
OF the state and nation.
The Democracy of Grcenbrier
appreciates the visit of Senator
Chiffon as he willingly came on in
vitation TO aid in starting Il scnti-
nent for real Democratic prin-
clpleS and the policies OF Wood
row Wilson. 1t had no personal
significance whatever on his part
nor was the meeting for the benc-
lit of any local candidates, an
nounccd or who may hereafter an

When the nominees are named
then the committee comes in to CO.

Is why this paper has no primary

We have observed TO frequently

Senator Chilton's speech was a
strong one, in which he presented

The bloom season in the apple

Growers are inclined this wear to

most OF them missed the crop en-

reached by the growers as regards
their West Virginia holdings will
also hold true, they say.for orchards

are advanced somewhat beyond

cause they are farther south and
their yield is usually a week to ten
days in advance of the yield in the
Apple Pic Ridge section.
