an article, in which it gives the number
OF white population and of the voting

with the following comments added:
"It will be seen from the above figures
that the 90 counties comprising the STATE

tine population as appears 10y the actual
vote boiled at the Presidential election
in 1850, of 1929 A glance at the map
of the State will show to the unbiased
mind that Braxton county is the central
county Of the State; that immediately
on and South of the Staunton and Park
ersburg Turnpike there are p counties,
and immediately on and SCUM
of the North Western Turnpike,
there are 50 counties. Thus 1t
is shown. taking Braxton county as
centre. that we have "a counties around
it mainly south of the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road, rich in minerals, timber
and water power, with scarcely any
roads or internal improvements Indeed,
this great extent of country, rich as IL IS
by nature, is almost wholly undeveloped,
and upon it mainly rests the future OF the
State. No objection ought to be made
by any one baving the good OF the whole
State at heart, to the location of the cap.
ital off of the Baltimore and OHIO Kali
Road. If located on the Rail Road
,his great section of the State
south of the Rail Road must
remain undeveloped for years to come
whereas if it be located near the centre
of the State, that section will start upon
a new life, and increase rapidly in wealth
and population The facts and figures
above given for locating the capitol, at
or near the centre Of the State, are I'M.
answerable. If the Legislature would
act wisely, it should send out Commls-
sioners at an early day, to examine the
proposed localities. and let them report
upon that site which will best promote
the interest of the whole State, and OF
the whole people"
