AT a county farmers’ institute re- cently held in Iowa, a free-for-all de- bate was had on the country merchant, the farmer and the catalogue houses. The discussion that took place was fall of ginger, the farmer ably presenting his side of the case. It seemed to be the concensus of opinion when the de- bate was finished, that good towns in- crease the value of all farm lands trib- utary to them, that good towns cannot be maintained without the patronage of the farmer, that the local merchants are by every right entitled to a fair chance to at least compete for the trade. It was brought out that the strong point with the catalogue houses lay in the quoting eof prices, coupled with the illustration and detailed de- scriptions of all articles they offer for sale, and the point was made, and well made, that if country merchants would, by judicious advertising, present their goods and prices in the same way, much of the trade would be kept at bome which now goes to the big stores in the cities.

Jennings and Others—Franchises Grant- ed and Charters Applied for. On Tuesday evening the Salisbury Town Council met in special session to confer with.C. H. Jennings, John M. Wright and H. H. Maust, the object being to discuss the granting of a fran- chise for the much talked-of electric road. : The Council and the gentlemen aforesaid had no trouble whatever in coming to terms, and the franchise was officially granted the next evening. The members of ths Council are greatly pleased with the manner in which Mr. Jennings presented the matter, and they agree that all his propositions and suggestions were most fair and rea- sonable. We shall not discuss the terms of the franchise now, for we expect to print the entire ordinance about next week, and then our readers will have every- thing from an official source. However, we will say that we have not the least doubt about the road be- ing built and in operation by Sept. 1st or sooner, as Mr. Jennings is not in the habit of talking through his hat, and he has associated with him several gentlemen from Towanda, Pa., who have built and now have in operation electric roads in other parts of this country and Canada. Either Mr. Jennings or =sny of his Towanda partners in this matter cdn build and equip the Meyersdale & Sal- isbury road with their individual capi- tal, and they are not going to float any bonds or offer any stock for sale in or- der to carry the project through. They expect to just go ahead, build the road, pay for it and operate it—that’s all. Notice has been given that on March 5th the Governor will be applied to for a charter for the Somerset County Railway Company, by C. H. Jennings, John M. Wright, H. H. Maust, G. W. Kipp, E, Floyd Kizer and their associ- ates. It is understood that the object is not only to build and operate the Meyersdale & Salisbury road, but to extend the system eventually to Johns- town, Pa., and Cumberland, Md. Now, just keep your eye -on C. H. Jennings, one of the finest men that ever struck this loeality, and see if he does not have the dirt flying by April 1st, and the cars rolling into town by Sept. 1st. rrr mer. Meyersdale Beer is Pure. It is a well-known fact to all brewers and those engaged in the manufaciure of beer, that good water is necessary to the production of good beer. In this respect the water used by the Meyers- dale Brewing Company is unsurpassed, on account of its purity and its freedom from mineral and vegetable matter. It comes from a never-failing spring, cool, clear and sparkling, filtered through the sand rock, and bright as distilled water. With this as a basis, and the choicest selection of malt and hops, this company is producing an ex- ceptionally pure and wholesome beer. These are some of the reasons why the Meyersdale Brewing Co. maintains, and the public is justified in believing that Meyersdale Beer is Good Beer. 2-22 A VIPER DRIVEN OUT. Organizer Wardjohn Fails to Bluff the Lonaconing Star, and Also Fails to Appear Against its Editor in Court. A Valuable Lesson for the Miners of the George’s Creek Region. In adesperate effort to organize the miners of the George’s Creek coal re- gion, the U. M. W. of A. sent one Wil- liam Wardjohn into that field a year or more ago. Wardjohn appears to have been prominent in the Colorado min- ing troubles, and if all reports are true, he should have been hanged by the neck until dead long before he ever reached the state of Maryland. Like the average labor grafter from abroad, he promptly began to sow the seeds of lawlessness, crime and desola- tion, and while he was belching out rot that invariably brings disaster and want upon all who are foolish enough to be influenced by such unprincipled fakirs, the editor of the Lonaconing Star was busy tracing his career, both in Wales, where Wardjohn came from, and also in this country. The picture Editor Robinson painted of the organizer contained all the colors but white, and accused him of having served a term in a Welch prison for the horrible crime of rape upon the person of a nine-year-old child. He was also accused of attempted rape at the Gladstone Hotel, in Frostburg, no later than last spring. Many other black erimes were also Injd at Ward- jobn’s door by Editor Robinson, whe defied the organizer week after week - to bring suit against Lis: accuser, that he might have a chance to prove his awful and fearless assertions in court. For a long time windy Wardjobhn would not sue, on account of which the miners finally began to lose confidence in the slimy reptile, and then he brought both a civil and a criminal suit against the fearless editor. Bat. just as Editor Robinson predicted, the wily Wardjohn failed to appear at the trial, recently, and the most diligent search could not reveal his wherea- bouts. The suit is now off, and it was an easy victory for the editor, who, however, would have preferred to stand trial. The Creek region is now rid of Ward- | john, and to the Lanaconing Star be- longs the credit for ridding the region of the venomous viper. Everybody down there should give thanks that the foul fakir has folded his tent and . sneaked away, especially the ‘miners. Even the George's Creek Press, the flimsy sheet that is recognized as the official organ of the U. M. W. of A. seems to have enough of ‘Wardjohn, : and following ie WHAT THE ORGANIZATION PAPER SAYS of him in its issue of last week: “The cases of Wardjohn against J. J. Robinson, editor of the Star, for libel, appear to have been allowed to fall to the ground. To the mind of most men, this will appear a confession of ‘guilt, and an acknowledgment of the truth of Robinson’s charges. It is very unfortunate indeed that the United Mine Workers has been misrepresented in this, the hardest field to organize in the whole United States, by men without character ’ without judgement and without honor. ~ It is a great pity that it cannot get rid of its miserable camp-followers, the low fellows who cling to its power and use it for their own sneaking benefit. The organization has done wonderful good to the miners at large; it is a shame that men unfit to be trusted either in public or private should get into office in it. For twenty-four years we have fol- lowed one forlorn hope after another into swamps and sorrow, and for the past few years almost every ‘leader’ who has come into the region, when weighed in the balanee, has been found wanting.” A LESSON FOR OUR OWN MINERS. The Wardjohn incident should even be a lesson for the miners here in this, the Elk Lick and Meyegsdale region, where so much poverty and suffering has resulted to many of their number by being misrepresented by such dirty skunks as E. 8. McCulloh and others. Even Francis J. Drum is a. menace to the best interests of the miners of this. region, and we are glad to note that so many of our miners are refusing to be led any longer against their own bet- ter judgment by the trash from abroad that held the men of this field out in: a useless and senseless strike that lasted sixteen long, dreary months, ruining many homes, causing loss of labor, de- bauching manhood, making fools of men and doing general harm to the region and its people to such an extent that many of them will never recover from the blighting effect thereof. The George's Creek Press frequently lets enough truth crop out between the lines to show that its editor is com- pletely disgusted with the miners’ or- ganization as it is’ generally managed, and the editor of that paper knows that the greatest deadbeats on his subscription list are loud-mouthed union miners who are not honest with their employers, not honest with each other, and not honest with their official paper. ’ To Harness Swallow Falls. We understand that a proposition is on foot to harness Swallow Falls, ons of the most beautiful and picturesque scenes of the “Yough” river, about nine miles from Oakland. The purpose, as we have the rumor, is to furnish power for electric light plants and other mar- ufacturies that may be established along the line of the Oakland & Con- fluence railroad in this county. It is said that the matter is being consider- ed in certain quarters, and that we may see the accomplishment of the projeet within a year or two.—Oakland Jour- nal. FRIGHTFULLY BURNED. Chas. W.
