lFmm the Enterprises new Democratic pRleI
Just started At Fayetteville W. Va
In addressing the Enterprise to our
readers, We beg VI the critic to BE- lenienI
and Of the concise, patience. AtthiS day
and time it requires no little pains, ener'
gy and ability to conduct newspaper,
The progress Of science and learning
have been such as to necessitate call for
the best material to lead moral and pO'
,litical sentiment. In times that appear
to US only in history, when the education
al interest Of our country was in its do.
tagc, when science and literature were
disclosed by the want Of culture and hui
man understanding, it was then u lighter
task to serve as target for public senti-
ment. However, we hope that our labor
may not be lost, though our experience
Is short in the position OF an editor.
Tho necessity Of u newspaper in this
vicinity is well known by the entire peO.
pie, AMI TO meet this necessity is our chief
object, Whatever ability we possess or
energy we may command shall be ex'
hausted in the effort to unite the local In.
teresS OF Fayette and surrounding Coun.
ties. With the endorsement Of our press
associates and the patronage Of the peO-
pie, We commence our work in the hope
Of making another exhibit Of the peces,
sity oil newspapers.
, In politics the Eateprisc will be Dem.
OcratiC, With an unmistakable know,
ledge Of the history Of Democracy, and
coming from u State that politically
knows nothing but DemOcl acy, the Enter
prise will cling to It's principles so long as
its lamp Of glory continues to burn, and
its light of Immortality continues to
stream,
All questions of local interest as well
US national will be arrested by us, and an
unbending effort will be made for the
good Of our common country.

STUDYING ABOUT THE COUNT.
The Treasurer was in consultation with
Secretary BristOw and Assistant Cowen
to-day on the subject OF counting the
money in the Treasury,
AQUEsTloN OF ALLEGIANCE DECIDED.
The Attorney.G General has decided the
question Of naturalization submitted him
by the Department OF State. The facts
briefly are that Mr.. A. steinkoauler, a
Prussian subject by birth, immigrated to
the United States In 1913 aud was natu-
rallied in 81. Louis in 1854. When he
returned to Germany he took with him
his son, then aged 4 years born in the
United States, The son Is now 90 years
old, The question at issue rose as to the
son owing military service to Germany,
The Attorney-General comes to the
conclusion that the boy has two
natiOnalities, one natural and the
other acquired. The father return-
ing to Germany and resuming his
allegiance, the son partakes Of the status
Of the father. Being minor, and hav-
ing enjoyed the protection Of the German
Government, he for the time being, or
until Of age, owes military duty, the OBJ
legations being reciprocal but when the
boy becomes Of age he can return to the
United States as an American, with all
tho rights and privileges as such, and
would even be eligible to the Presidency
OF the United States,
RECOGNIZED.

CUTTING GRAS EARLY.-l have been
watching grass field since last July
$50, part u which was cut early with
0 mower, aud the rest left three weeks
later. The square block Of two or three
acres in the center Of the field, which was
cut last, seemed almost killed all the fall.
The glass was timothy, and very little
aftermath appeared, while the outside Of
the field, cut first, was bright and green.
The same result appeared again this
spring, and / Judge ilc middle Of the
field will not yield half ton Of hay per
acre, while the outside may go up to n
ton and half. Add to this that the
early OlL grass was best for hay, and II
makes u strong case for early cutting. II
Is equally important for clover, and, in.
deed, unless clover is kept very closely

to prevent iLs seeding, it Is rarely worth
keeping for grass the third yGar.-C0rre.
