As the time approaches for the democratic conventions, republicans are getting their differences and are making preparations for the opening of the campaign. Republican headquarters will be opened sometime next week, and gentlemen placed in charge who will welco ne all callers as well as tend to all party business.

It is probable that these headquarters will occupy the upper story of The Herald building, altho this has not been definitely decided upon. Republicans are falling in line and are confident of the election of all the. republican candidates by big majorities. The Herald has received letters from prominent men throughout the county voicing the same sentiment. The democratic district conventions pull off Saturday and the grand blowout.

It is thought that nitro glycerine was fused to blow the door of the safe off. It is likely that bloodhounds will be sint from Charleston to aid in the cap ture of the fugitives.

MURDERER KILLS TWO I Shoots Two Brothers Who Tiled To Arrest Him Fur Kentucky Murder. Bryson, small settlement on the edge of Raleigh and Wyoming was. the scene of a double murder, according to the Hinton News. The News says: After following A. L.

Herman for months in an effort to capture him for the murder of Jerry Davis at Martin, Ky', some months ago, Frank Finley, Herman's brother-in-law, and his broth er, Kenner Finley, were shot to death Saturday night at Herman's home al Bryson, in Raleigh county. The Finleys had followed Herman on a long trip by which he sought to evade arrest for the murder of Davis, and finally located him at Bryson, where he had settled down. Adopting disguises they went. to Herman's home and asked and were given board. They waited un til they thought everything was alright and then suddenly springing upon Herman attempted to secure him.

Herman was the more powerful and throwing the Finleys aside, pulled a revolver and shot Frank Finley through the heart and his brother, Kenner, thru the head, killing both men instantly. Herman immediately disappeared and no trace of him has since been found. He is a doubly desperate man and there is no question but what his capture will be hard to effect. SUNDAY MAIL -Can Be Had in Beckley If You Want It--Do You Want It? If you want a thing, go after it. If you would like to get your mail Sunday morning, you can get it, provided you want it.

The Postoffice Department is perfectly willing to put Sunday mail service in operation in Deckley. if the people desire such a service. It is the opinion of The Herald that they so desire. Beckley is too large a town by fart to be cut off from Sunday muil. Such mail lays in the Prince office all day Sunday, and we are led to belive that Reckley's folks had rather have it on Sunday than the Prince postmaster.

A petition will soon he gotten up for Sunday mail, and you will be asked to sign it. It is casy to get and we see no good reason why it should not be secured. -MOUNT HOPE NEWS. Mra. W.

HOT SHOT, THIS Replies to The Register. Shows Up the Democratic Rosses' OrOrgan -Shows a Disposition to Take Care of Himselt and Offers Some: Sound Advice to Joey.

Surely Brother Smith of The Register 18 beside himself in his rejoicing over what he terms the muddle in the republican party over the primary election of August 11, 1906. In bold print he comes out and asserts that some of the leaders of the republican party have the penitentiary of the state looming up before them; and again be says that certain leading publicans, including myself, are in the shadow of the penitentiary. Now I take this method of saying to the good people of our county Brother Smith does not know what he is talking about; he surely does not know what responsibilities he is ing upon himself in making such asser- tions. If you will go to the indictments against myself, which are as follows: "State of West Virginia, Raleigh CounLy. s9: "In the circuit court of said county: The grand jurors of the State of West Virginia in and for the body of the county of Raleigh, and now attending the said court, upon their oaths present that J.

N.

B. Scott cu.ing out in the leading papers of the state declaring that he intends to try to get the legislature al ils next session to pass a primary clection taw for our state, for we have none. Brother Smith talks very learn-: edly about Sam Dixon and the Fayette whiskey ring. What evidence has he got in the matter? I will give my brother a little peace of advice: You had better save your evidence, for when Sam Dixon and the layette. whiskey ring calls on you for proof of your assertions you will need your sworn evi dence, and I am satisfied you will wish you had not Cold the barefaced liea you have.

Brother Smith also uses in his issue: of August 23d the following wants opep saloons in order that he can pander to the depraved tastes of the lower element among hie miners." What is the meaning of the word de- praved? "Corrupt, wicked, destitute of good principles or do the good people, especially the miners, think of this? There are as many crat miners in the employ of Sam Dixon 83 there are republicans. And I ask why should The Register undertake to that the men who work for Sam Dixon are more depraved than those that work for any other company? Surely this is a slap in the laboring man's face all over thy; county, Brother Smi is just simply out of burnor because he has not got his hand: in the publi: crib, likeunto the lime; when he received from the taxpayers of this county his share for the windmill that floats so nicely at the jailabout $400, I understand.
