to a booth or compartment and pre-
pare the same for voting. A ballot
clerk may inform the voter as to the
proper manner of marking ballot
but he must not advise or indicate in
any manner whom to vote for.
A voter must mark his ballot by
making a cross in the square at the
right of the name of the candidate he
intends to vote for.
If the voter wishes to vote for a
person for certain office whose name
is not on the ballot, he must write the
name in the blank space under the
printed name of the candidate for the
office. The ballot should not be
marked in any other manner. If the
ballot be spoiled it must be returned
to the ballot clerk, who must issue
another in it's stead, but not more than
three in all to any one voter.
Five minutes time is allowed in the
booth to mark ballot. Unofficial bal
lots or memorandum to assist the
voter in marking his ballot can be
taken in the booth, and may be used
to copy from. This ballot must not be

Have We a Ring or
Just First Families +?

The undercurrent along political
lines in Lancaster the last few weeks
resolves itself into statement that
Lancaster has been governed long
enough by political ring who are de-
termined to run us. Let US bust that
ring"
The implication of a ring has been
made here quite often 1t is interest
ing and bears analysis.
The Herald does not share the view
that ring prevails in the city in the
sense as rings" are generally under
stood. Like most small or large towns
we are blessed or cursed with fac
tons. There is an out-and-out wet
faction here. 1t is very small. There
is a mildly wet and somewhat sport
ion here, fairly numerous. There is a
strong dry and church faction. Any
one of these might be termed rings
Each faction thinks it has the dope"
on how to run the city.
Our observation is that instead of
rings Lancaster is governed by the F.
F. V. "F. f. "" means First Families
of Virginia" We paraphrase and use
it locally to carry out the meaning.
The F. F. V. here as everywhere
else, stick together. They look upon,
perhaps naturally, resident of TWEEN
ty years as being mere newcomer.
Forty years-well, let him in. Admin
istrationS may come and administra-
lions may go but the F. F. VS. gener-
ally run things as a look at the vari-
Gus committees, boards and councils
will convince one. The control stays

RICHLAND CENTER. Dick Gas
sen, of Ash Creek, received a severe
cash in his head while chopping in the
woods. He was in the act of swing
ing his AK, when it caught an over
hanging limb causing it to go contrary
to Dicks intentions and he received
part of the force of the blow of the bit
in his head. DR. Ross was called to
dress the wound, which was closed by
the stitches. The same doctor was
called to attend another injured man,
Eugene BaTnhart, who had his fore
head laid open by the back kick of
