SHENANDOAH HERALD 18 PUBLISHED Wa.iK.LY BY JOHN H. GiUBILL WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1910. DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING. The Hon. James Hay will ad? dress the voters at Central School House, Thursday night, Oct. 27, and at Kerlin's School House, Friday night, Oct. 28tb. Let everybody turn out to hear the issues discussed by our dis? tinguished Congressman. THE CONTITUTIONAL AMEND? MENTS. Every voter will have the op? portunity of voting for or against the constitutional amendments. The first amendment extends the time of the Legislature from 60 to 90 days. If you think 60 days is long enough, scratch out the word "Fordon vour ticket. The second proposed amend? ment provides for reading a bill in each house by title. We have plenty of ill advised legislation when * the legislators hear the whole bill read; what will it be when only the title is read? We would advise our readers to vote against it. The third amendment allows treasurers to suceeed themselves after two terms, and Com mi vwinnpr nf Revenue to be elect* ed by the people. In the opinion of many roten two terms are encugh for a man to hold a good, fat office. The fourth amendment applies to cities only, while weare not in? terested in it, it would be well to vote against it, and let the con? stitution stand as it was framed and proclaimed. Rather than have a patchwork constitution, let it all stand until it has been thoroughly tested. If it is then found to be faulty let the people have the opportunity of framing one to suit themselves. All that is necessary is to scratch the words. "For." or "Against."_ MM TO MARK TICKET. The names of candidates for Con? gress and other information to be placed on the official ballot for the November election have just been sent out from the office of the secre? tary of the commonwealth to the district secretaries of the electoral boards. In addition to the congressmen that are to be voted for at the coming elec? tion there ai s several amendments to the constitution on which the people will cast their ballots. Many questions are daily asked re? lating" to these amendments. The fol? lowing law on tbe subject explains the matter in detail: "For the amendment to section forty-six of article four of the con? stitution o' Virginia, extending the session of the general assembly to ninety days. ?'Against the amendment to sec? tion forty-six of article four of the constitution of Virginia, extend? ing thc session of the general as? sembly to nicety days. '?For the amendment of section fifty ofjarticle four of the constitu? tion of Virginia, simplifying leg? islative procedure. "Against tbe amendment to sec* tion fifty of article four of the con? stitution of Virginia, simplifying legislative procedure. '?For the amendment to section one hundred and ten of the con? stitution of Virginia, with refer? ence for the election of treasurers and commissioners of the revenne in the counties. "Against the amendment to sec? tion one hundred and ten of the constitution of Virginia, with ref? erence to the election of the treas? urers and commissioners of the revenue in the counties. "For tbe amendment to sections ons hun Ired and nineteen and one hundred and twenty of tho consti? tution of Virgie ia, with reference to the election of treasurers and commissioners of the revenue in fie cities. "Against the amendments to sec? tions one hundred and nineteen and one hundred and twenty of the constitution of Virginia, with ref? erence to the election of treasurers and commissioners of the revenue In the cities. ?'Which said ballots shall he printed aid furnished by the electoral boards as other ballots are required by law to be printed and furnished, and the said election shall be held and con? ducted as pro\ided by the general election law of the state. "The marking out of tbe wor.is 'for1 or 'against' shall be sufficient to indi? cate tbe wishes of the voters, and it shall not be necessary to mark out the entire paragraph to indicate such wish." '_ CH I ld ron Cry ttl FUTCIEI'S CASTORIA RLWARDSFOR WHOLE MOS Lynchburg, Va., oct AA. -TN ft ? son county authorities are determined that roth ng shall be left undone to apprehend John Moore, the condemn? ed snnrderer of Frank Howl, and to bring to justice the members of the mob which freed him from the Loving-, ?ton j iii early Friday norning. An additional reward ol 1100 was offered today by tho County Sup'i riaors for Moor's apprehension, wit-fa a further rewind ?>f 160 each for the arrest and conviction of the members of the mob. Late today three warrants weft is? sued for persons suspected of being in the mob, and these will be followed by additional warrants Monday. Five dep ities were sworn in to go into the mountains from whence the mob came in the hope of throwing more light tm the delivery and locating Moore. The authorises, however, believe that he will be secreted and cared for by friends in some of the gorges or caves in the fastness of the mountains until he can be safely gotten out of the State. Two deputies, who went yesterday into the county where Moore cann from, returned to Lovingston'after 12 hours, with the **eport that nothing could be learned about thc personnel of the mob. The men of the region are silent and others who could talk are int'midated by fear of vengeance, which would certainly follow the giv? ing of information to the authorities. While there was a division of opinion Friday as to the purpose of Moore's liberation, it is accedted In the county today that he was takes from jail to be set free because of the failure to convict the wife cf the mur? dered man. INTENSE DRAMA IN LOW LIFE. The history of the Howl-lfooft murder case in Nelson county. which culminated early yesterday morning in the rescue of John Moore, who was under death sentence for the murder of Frank Howl in that county Inst May, is one of the most dramatic episodes of recent Virginia criminal history. Since the beginning of tbs case it has teemed with thrilling sen* sations which read like a lurid dime novel None of the 2-*> or more homi? cides of the past two decades in that county, including the famous Loving ."it.. fm*n'tt)iurl an manv ftlintSLSAfl All the Howl-Moore case needed t< give it world-wide celebrity wa prominent charao'ers. As it is all (j those who have figured in it are fron tbt lower walks of life, from the activ "moonshiner" up to woodsmen, team sters and others. SHAVED DEAD MAN. Intense situations developed soor after the poisoning of Howl at hi: home od the night of May 14, wher Moore was a visitor there, for aftei Howl died in convulsions from th< drugged "moonshine'' liquor it be came necessary tor the man convicted of his murder, and who admitted un der oath undue relations with the wife Mrs. Roxie Howl, to shave the kemi man and prepare him for interment Moore counseled an early burial, bul his actions aroused the suspicions ol the neighbors who dropped in to lend a kindly hand. After the boral ffOSSt] Wearne rife and three days later cami an order to exhume the body. Dr. Mallet, of the University of Virginia, found three-fourths ol a grain of strychnine in the corpse. Then Moore disappeared. A liberal reward was offered lo? his arrest, and and in several weeks he returned from Ohio and surrendered. The grand jury next Indicted Moore and the widow for the mulder. Jn the mean? time Moore stated in the county jail that the "moonshiners" of the moun? tain section had poisoned the whisky he gave Howl to make way with him. This is alleged to hu ve incensed the alleged "moonshiners." and the county authorities deemed it necessary to secrete Moore in the mountains parts of two days and then take him to the Charlottesville jail for fearor.mob violence. 1)1.MED ALL KNOWLEDGE OF CHIME Then came Moore's trial. He de? nied all knowledge of the crime. Mrs. Howl and her children threw little light on it, but after a week's pro? ceedings the jury retured a verdict of first-degree murder. Sentence was suspended, as it was desired to use Moore as a witness in the trial of the widow, his alleged accomplice. Mrs. Howl at her trial gave sub? stantially the same testimony, but Moore came with a new story, in which he testified that Howl was "put out of the way" at the behest of the "moonshiner*" of the vicinity be? cause thev believed him to be an in? former for the Government revenue officers. Moore also admitted im? proper relations with the prisoner and ?leted on the witness stand that he was the lasher of Mrs. Howl's youngest child, 13 months old, then in c >urt. As to ibis charge Mrs. Howl was not questioned, ar-d >>he did not deny Moore's assertions. INSANITY PUBS KEir.f TKO. A *^eek ago today Judge (Jordon heard the mottion of Moore's counsel f >r a new trial, the application Icing made upon the groand that the con? victed mao was insane. The applica? tion was refused, and Moore was sentenced to electrocution in Rich? mond November lb. On leaving the court house in charge of the jailer Moore made a bieak for 'liberty, get? ting a good start before he was recap tured. The death watch was set and the prisoner was ceosely watched to prevent possible sucide, when be was rescued from the county jail by a frienafy mob and carried back te the vicinity, in which the crime occurred. The people of Nelson are wondering what is to happen in the county next. In the 7th Congressional District it requires two republicans to make one candidate, we suppose when the party reaches that stage that four republi? cans are required to make a candi? date, our friends, the Sheriff, County Treasurer, Member of House of Dele? gates and Ex-Commonwealths At? torney, can be prevailed upon to run for Congress. But until that time f-omes, let the people continue to vote for Jim Hey, who has established by ale useful service, that he don't need iv sasjajr aids, %?

James Hay. Harrisonburg, V \.. October Is. IMO. Mr. B. f. Myers, IMinbvirg-, Va. Dear Sir:? In response to letter directed to mi under date of (Ictobcr 11th. asking m* attitude in regard to a bill introduce* in Congress known as H. R. L\'lf>41 anc S. 7628, I understand the purpose 0 this bill to be, in effect, to prohibi the shipment of liquor from "wet" territory into a "dry" State, or int( any part of tbe State that may bf "dry." That is. in brief terms, thi meaning of the bill. I belters that this bill should be en? acted into law. Por I believe thal when the people of any community, have, by their vote, decreed that liq? uor shall not be sold in their State or county, that eve-y means should be taken to make their wish effective. II a majority of the voters desire prohibition, then the law should not nullify their decision by allowing liquor to be shipped In from another State. In other words, if the people declare for prohibition, they are en? titled to have it made effective. For this reason, 1 would support the bill you mention. Very truly vours, John Paul Hon. H. S. Lupton ihe regular nomi? nee of the republican party, is a high 'mun representative in evtry partic? ular. In addition to this he is a pro? gressive farmer, thus giving to the , farmers of thi*? Congressional District i (the same being an agricultural dis* trict) an opportunity te vote for one of their number, and te be represerted in Congress by a farmer. Paul the independent, but who claims to l*e a republican, is a lawyer with about thirty minutes standing, knows noth? ing about the actual needs ot the dis? trict. This alone should determine the question as to whom you shou'd vote for in this Countv. Let the farm? ers turn out and vote for Lupton. 1. Flection, November Hth. Let the democrats of this county turn out and support the Hon. James Hay for Con? gress. Mr. Hay has been tried and not found wanting, why make a charge for a party that has te rus two men in order to get one candidate, at this ratio what would it take' to make a Congressman? %# Children Cry FOR FLETCHERS CA3TOBIA NOVEL USE OF BILLBOARD. I | Bank Tries to Stop a Run With It Next Door Merchant Benefits. During a recent run on a Western banX a billboard was set up in the street where the line of depositors were gathered and its frank statement of the bank's condition did much to restore confidence. Mnny people dropped out of the line after reading the sign, which bore this legend: "This bank can pay every dollar on deposit. It is one of the strongest banks on the Pacific coast. It has been your friend. Jeal? ous competitors have worked to bring you hero. Every person In this line should show their loyalty by leaving at once. Your money is safe. Why then remain here doing an unkind and foolish thing? Break ranks." ' The run lasted thirty-six hours, but the bank stood the strain and re* I mained solvent. An enterprising merchant took ad- i vantage of the incident to secure a novel adrertlsement for his store. It happened, says the Bookkeeper, that he was prepared to move Into the ad- j joining building, and the picture of | the crowd before the bank had the i appearance of heading for his new | quarters. A cut of this picture was used for his announcement, the legend reading, "Your money is safe if you follow the crowd to?" giving the name of his own establishment. Power of Music. A hardheaded business man went a year* or so ago to hear Paderewskl play. The man is not a musician. He spends his days trying to buy cot? ton when lt is low and sell it when it is high. This le bow he described his experience at the plano recital: "You know. I'm not easily stirred up. and I don't know anything) about music. I wouldn't know whether a j man was playing the piano extremely | well, or just fairly well. But I do | know that Paderewski played one j thing that afternoon that stirred me up as I never WSS stirred in my life. I don't remember what it was. I couldn't have told whether he waa playing an hour or five minutes. AU I know is that it stirred up feelings within me I had never felt before. Great wave-; of emotion swept over me. I wanted to shoot and I wanted to cry, and when the last chord was struck I found myself on my feet, waving my umbrella and shouting like a wild Indian. I went out of that hall as weak SS a rag and hapjsler than I'd been in years. I can't account for it. I've tried, but I can't explain it. Can you?"- A. E. Thomas lc Success Magazine. Hon. H. S.
