ENTITLED TO SECOND TERM An Old Soldier Thinks Major Beale Is Not Given Square Deal Bejamin Hinigh, an old soldier of Winslow township, requested us to pub lish tbo following statement for him concerning tbe congressional contest: "I think, in all fairness, Major Ji s. G. Beafo, present congressman from this district, is entitled to the nomina tion for a second term. I understand that some of the candidates "-ho are now his opponents for the nomination, agreed on a second term for bim, and made promises that they are not keeping. I think a man who aspires to a seat in the congressional hallBof this great gov ernment, should be honorable enough, even though a new law does change tbe way of selecting a congressional nomi nee, to stand fair on an agreement en-, tered into. So far as I can learn Major Beale is representing this district as faithfully and ably as it has been represented for some years, and that being the case, why not give him the nomination for a second term, as has been the custom in this district for a number of years? Again I say, that i if given a square deal Major Beale should have tbe nomination for con gress this time without opposition." Looks at it Right Way.

O. money order for three dollars In pay ment of my subscription for The Star. I guess I owe you an apology in con nection with the three dollars. It was an Inexcusable piece of negligence or rather several pieces that made me keep you waiting so long. I knew that you were good natured and would not Btop my paper, but when I found "U. S. Postal Laws and Regulations" had taken a hand and wero likely to shut off our supply of news from "up home," thought I bad better get busy; for we must have The Star If "Uncle Sam" will not allow us to piy for It with Btniles when we meet ye editor, then I suppose we must pay caBh. Thanking you for your kind Indulgence I am yours, etc. Scheafnocker Encouraged.
