The immense service ot wireless teleg
raphy as a life saving instrument was
strikingly illustrated last Saturday.
Way off the coast of New England, in
an early morning fog, the big White
Star transatlantic liner Republic was
rammed by the Florida, of the Lloyd -
Itaiiano Line, and found to be in a sink
ing condition, with her 761 souls aboard
in grave peril. The signal of distress
was at once sent forth by “wireless,” and
quickly two Atlantic liners and two rev
enue cutters,each unknown to the others
were speeding for the relief of the sink
ing vessel, and every passenger and
member of the crew was saved. Mrs.
John Thomas Davis, sister-in-law or
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, and
her two children, Henry Gassaway Davis
3d, 8 yeurs old, and Hallie Elkins Davis.
10 years old, were aboard the Republic.
Mrs. Davis was accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. H. H. Armistead, of Sea

Saturday evening, January 30th, which
promises to be a most interesting and
enjoyable event. They will give an
“Evening with Shakespeare,” which
will be largely made up of recitations
from the great author by Mr. MacLean
and will also include a tabloid version
of “The Taming of the Shrew” by Mr.
MacLean and Miss Tyler, in costume.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, it will be re
called. several years ago made a tour
of this country giving Shakesperean
plays and they have an extensive re
pertoire from which to give selections.
Mr. MacLean has long been an enthusi
astic student and admirer of the great
English writer, and the people may be
assured of an instructive and pleasing
entertainment. The admission will be
fifty cents. The proceeds are for the
benefit of the Episcopal Church.
The Register wishes to sav just a word
concerning the retirement of Hon. James
M Mason, Jr., as prosecuting attorney
of Jefferson county, and we express the
opinion of many persons when we say
that he is entitled to the approbation of
all ihe people for the manner in which
he conducted this important <ffiice during
Ins two terms Mr. Mason wisely and
properly used his influence to discourage
contentions litigation and to settle
amicably quarrels and disputes that might
readi y have become b tter feuds and
sources of neverending trouble. He per
mitted no man to use the prosecuting at
torney’s office as a vehicle for private or
personal revenge. He himself persecuted
no man, and while 1 e prosecuted the
cnmiual. at the same time he was ever
ready to give a helping hand to the
tempted or the fallen. His view of his
office was an exalted one. and he mu -t
have great satisfaction in the knowledge
that while his duties were fearlessly ar.d
honestly performed, no man, howev. r
humble, can rightly charge him wuh
being unfair or unjust. Mr. Mason is
worthy the highest approbate m of the
people of this county,—Shepherdstown
Register.
We with pleasure transfer the alxjve
to our columns, and take the liberty of
^ ' adding that Mr. Clias. N. Campbell, As
sistant Prosecuting Attorney under Mr.
Mason, also proved himself faithful an 1
| efficient official.

State’s Largest Fruit Orchard.
The Hampshire Orchard - company
owns the largest orchard in the state of
West Virginia. It owes thirteen hundred
acres of the best fruit land in- the state,
tne soil being the famous "cheat” forma
tion, noted for its fertility. The orchard
is the largest in West Virginia, having
thirty-eight thousand peach, and five
thousand apple trees. Some will come
into bearing this year, and the largest
proportion next year. Few realize what
an important industry fruit growing is
rapidly becoming in the eastern section
of the state. From the South Branch
valley along over a million dollars worth
of peaches were shipped last year and
the business is yet in its infancy. A solid
fruit express train is run out of Romney
every evening, delivering the fruit gath
ered 24 hours earlier, ou the New York
market stalls by breakfast time. A large
proportion of the crop is exported by the
fast Trans-Atlantic Ocean Greyhounds
to London aud Paris. It is significant that
the West Virginia fruit is rapidly dis
placing the famous English hot house
peach in the world famous Coven Garden
market. A peculiar branch of the South
Branch valley section is that, owing to
its elevation, the fruit ripens in time to
catch a bare market after the glut of the
Georgia and other crops is passed. It
is also immune from the danger of the
last frosts. Some idea of the size of the
Hampshire Orchard company’s property
may be derived from the fact that the
company is now preparing to build a
narrow gauge railroad extending for
seven or eight miles over the orchard,
and is ins'alling a complete system of
waterworks. Hon John J, Cornwell, of
Hampshire, and Hon Wm Campbell, of
this place, are largely interested in this
enterprise, and are among its governing
body.

William Watts Camp, Confederate
Veterans, held an enthusiastic meeting
last night and transacted important busi
ness. The veterans heard an interesting
address from Major J Ogden Murray,
on the "Immortal 600.” These were all
prisoners, Coufederace officers, who were
placed on Morris Island, South Carolina,
from August 1864, to March 1865. His
talk was on the subject of erecting a
monument to the memory of these men.
Major Murray complimented the camp
on its splendid showing, aud exhorted
the officers to be diligent in the discharge
of their duties. In concluding Ins splen
did address he paid a tribute to the
memory of those who had answered
"taps” and to those who are stiU linger

Returns Confederate Battle Flag.
Mr E P Dooley sends us a copy of the
Columbus (Ohio) Citizen which contains
the following.
Among the last acts of Andrew L
Harris who will perhaps be the last of
the civil war veteran governors of Ohio,
was to return to a Confederate organiza
tion its battle fi ig, which had been cap
ture! by an Ohio regiment and has been
in the Ohio relic room since the civil war,
A year ago the governor of Maryland
requested Governor Harris to return the
captured colors of the First Maryland
Battery, r >ptur«d by the One Hundred
i and Twenty-third O. V, I , in April, 1865,
| at Hatcher’s Run. Governor Harris had
' the legislature adopt a resolution author
izing the return of the trophy from those
who esteem it as a prize ot war to those
who love it for having fought under it.
and Friday, by order ot Governor Har
ris. the flag was shipped by Adjutant
General A C. Critchfield to the governor
of Maryland, to be placsd l>y him in the
possession ot those who f.night under it
and to be preserved bv the state for the
eyes of the generations to come.

Cleveland, O, Jan i, 1909 —The W H
Mullins Co, of Salem, O, manufacturers <
of pressed steel boats, has just closed the
largest order on record for engines This
order goes to The Ferro Machine & ,
Foundry Co. of Cleveland, and includes
700 eugines to be delivered in the next
60 days Mr Mullins said in response to
a question that he was confident of a
splendid volume of business and would
no doubt duplicate this order before the
first of May. These engines go into boats
of various sizes and show the marvelous
growth of the power boat business.
The advent of the gasoline motor has
wrought the most ex'raordinary develop
ment in general boating, not only for
pleasure launches, but aiso for small and
large utility boats. Ten years ago,motor
driven boats were as little thought of, aud
even less, than the flying machine is
today. Where the sailboat and rowboat
sports were indulged in very limitedly
only in localities where the best of boat
ing facilities were afforded years ago,
today will find every inland lake and
river that is at all navagable, as well as
the coast waters, floating its quota of
powerboats of all descriptions. Even
rowboats have been made con vertable by
the development of the small gasoline
motor, weighing less than the average
human being. Sailing, a most exhilara
ting sport, has largely given way to mo
tor boating and the percentage of sail
boats Deing used today without a gasoline
engine in them for auxiliary power is
surprisingly small.
[Conklyn Bros are agents for the above
engines. See their adv in this issue,]

Ins long service and experience won for
him the confidence of the cit-'zens of this
county, and especially of the members of

January 16, 1909.
Dear Friend ClaytorAfter five hours
of hot debate, and after all tactics known
to parliamentary law had been brought
into play to defeat the bill or to postpone
action, the House of Representatives on
last Wednesday afternoon voted on the
Holladay' bill prohibiting the sale of m
tox cants iu the State of Tennessee, and
passed it by a substantial majority of
twenty-six votes. The vote was 62 to 36.
It was a scene long to be remembered,
and one I shall never forget. The oppo
nents fought gamely to the finish, but
their cause was lost. The audience
1 greeted the final vote with prolonged
1 cheers, and after the excitement had
1 somewhat died down, the peop’e iu the
galleries commenced singhig the long
meter dox ilogy. It won d make anv
congregation feel ashamed of themselves
the way the peop'e did sing. It was a
songdiiect from the heart. After the
audience dispersed about five hundred
people gathered on the way to town and
marched to the place where Senator Car
mack had been killed, Here they held
an informal service of prayer and thanks
giving. Our old colored cook in Wesley
Hall gave vent to her feelings and shout
ed over the good news until she had
made the kitchen look like a cyclone had
struck it. The cook was not the only
one who shouted that night. All over
the State men and women were rejoic
ing. As I happened to attend a W C T
U meeting that night, it seemed to me
more like an old time camp meetieg —
The state-wide bill goes into effect July

It Is Just a Question
If you want to save from 2 to 10 Dollars. During the sumiu.; a ml
fall of 1908. wholesalers were anxious to do business, and wer*
quoting low prices. We took advantage of the inducement*
offered, and purchased quite an abundant
Stock of Watches,
storing them iu our vault. While our holiday trade was good, we
did not sell all of our surplus stock, and fiud we have too mud.
money invested and tied up in Watches Therefore we h*v*
decided to uuload and do it quickly.
For the Next 10 Days
we will offer you special inducements to purchase a Good W»tc!
at a Saving of from Two to Ten Dollars,removing the best portion
of our profit We do this to make room for Spring Goods, and
our seasonable staple line. It will pay you to investigate,ns these
prices will ouly prevail 10 Days.
