Late Precincts for Johnson

The belated precincts are mcreas-
ing Jchnson's majority.
johnson was the candidate regu-
larly endorsed by the Farmer-LabOr
Association in March and Davis ran
as a Nonpartisan Lacquer with an
endorsement Of a rump League con-
vention which he had financed and
brought together for the purpose of
endorsing himself. Davis is an at
torney while Johnson is a farmer.
Johnson had no funds, W is is
reported to have had fn-
600. Johnson's victory in the r.
day primaries clears the deck Tor a
magnificent victory at the General
Election this autumn.
All candidates endorsed by Farmer
Labor Association won places on the
State ticket.
Farmer-LabOr Vote Light
The Farmer-Labor vote in Mime
sofa appears to be light and viii to-
tai not more than one-half of the re-
publican vote. The farmers did not
take much interest in the Primaries,
and feeling that Johnson had a walk
away, did not bother to go to the
polls, on the other hand there was
spirited contest in the republican
party between Christianscn and
Leach.
The nomination of johnson and
Christianson prepares for clean-cut
fight between Coolidgeism and pro-
gress in Minnesota with every indi-
cation at present that Johnson and
the entire Farmer-LabOr ticket will
win in Minnesota this fall.

LIBRARIAN IN MARTINSBURG
FOR REGULAR WORK

The books are being prepared now
at the Norman Remington Company.
Baltimore, Nd. A total of 1850 new
volumes has been ordered from this
firm, under terms which Miss Batch
elder considers unusually generous.
The agreement is briefly this: Nor
man Remington Company, specialists
in equipping libraries, offered to
submit list of books likely to be
needed. The list could be scratched
as much as wished by the book COM
mittee, and others substituted as de-
sired. The company would collect
them at their Baltimore store, cata-
'logue, card, classify and arrange
them so that they are ready to put
on the shelves here: deliver the books
to the library. and still allow the as
ISOLATION fiat ten percent discount
from the list price of the books. IN
der this arrangement, the book COM
mittee of the association was able
to select the 1850 volumes.
The foregoing account of the frui-
ton of the hopes of Berkeley Coun-
ty book-lovers, will be an Inspiration
to those of our own county and
community who have like aspirations.
Charles Town used to be known
throughout the State as "the Athens
of West Virginia" 1t IS not likely
to much longer remain one of the
few county seats in West Virginia
that has not that public necessity
a free library, accessible to all.

ROYCE STATE BANK HELD UP:
ROBBERS LATER ARE CAUGHT
About $500 Taken from Cash Drawer
As Cashier Faces a Pistol.

Three Hagerstown negroes, James
Lee. VIM. Carter and Max Watkins,
armed with pistols. walked into the
Bovce State Bank of Boyee, Clarke
Ca. Va, about 1915 o'clock Monday,
rornered Cashier Cornelius Van De-
venter, who was alone at the time,
and escaped with about $500 which
they scooped from the cash drawer
at the teller's window. A fourth
member waited outside in their au-
tomobile.
Three hours later. two of the BAN
dts were captured. Officer Grubbs
shot Lee in the left thigh, as the flee
ing bandit climbed fence near the
residence of DR.. Holt, in Berkeley
County. Carter, the other negro, was
CAPTURED on the Williamsport bridge
bv Maryland officers. They search
ed him several times without finding
any money. Finally dollar bill
huttered from paper bag he was
holding The bag contained S469,
almost the amount of the robbery.
When the three armed negroes ap-
preached him and commanded
Hands Up" Mr.. Van DeVenter ad-
ded there was nothing for me to do,
but back away and let them help
themselves to the contents of the
cash drawer"
The robbers had every detail we'll
planned in advance-with the excep-
ton of the route to take after leav-
ing Winchester and consequently
were bottled up" by Virginia, West
Virginia, and Maryland officers.
The negroes waited until Mr.. Van
DeVenter's two assistants left the
bank building for lunch. The trio
entered together. One remained, at
the front door of the bank, standing
guard. A second backed the cashier
into the corner with a gun. while the
third vaulted over the railing around
the cashiers cage and scooped up the
currency in the drawer. The bandits
then ran to the automobile, which
was parked less than a block away
with the motor running, and sped
away with the waiting member of
the party at the wheel.
Discovery of the robbery was made
a few minutes after the departure of
the negroes when William Ashby, a
patron, attempted to enter the bank.
He found the door locked. When
released, Mr.. Van Deventer told the
story of the robbery and the news
was spread to Winchester. Martins
burg, Charles Town and all sur
rounding points to be on the lookout
for the machine occupied by the four
negroes.
The Boyce State Bank is capitaliz-
ed at $4,000 and is thriving insti-
tuition in the rich agricultural Sec
ton of Clarke county. The robbery
was the first in its history, and the
loss of only ten dollars of the loot is
considered remarkable.
