The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-12-07

The several denominations of town
held a union Thanksgiving service
at the Presbyterian Church, and the
sermon was delivered by DR.. j. A.
Fullerton of the Methodist Church.
A larger congregation than usual
ly assemblies on Thanksgiving day
was present, and quite filled the
house. The music by the united
choirs was excellent. The theme of
the sermon was specially appropriate
to the occasion. 1t was an eloquent
summary of our causes for thankful
ness as a nation, a state and com
munity.
Beginning back with the early his
tory of our country DR.. Fullerton
outlined the events and the struggles
which gave us Republican form of
government and made us a free and
liberty loving people. His historical
resume was suggestive and forcible.
He then spoke of the progress and
prospects Of our own State. In a
verp eloquent manner he referred to
the reasons which induced him to
cast his lot, as an immigrant from u
foreign land, with the people of West
Virginia. He loved the State and he
loved its people, and he has faith in
its future. And although there were
other fields that were more enticing
to the minister in pecuniary sense,
he has never regretted his choice in
making his home here.
The Doctor referred somewhat in
detail to our local causes for thanks
giving. In most flattering terms
the past and the present of this COM
munity we're brought in contrast and
he declared that If there is any peo-
pie OF the State who have special
reasons in their surroundings, for a
thankful spirit, it is the people Of
Morgantown.
DIR. Fullerton's manner and method
OF treating a subject are very popu-
lar. He carries his audience with
him from the first sentence to the
last, His sermons are practical and
not doctrinal or metaphysical. He
interests all classes. He has a good
voice and good presence in the pull
pit. and altogether, promises to be :
very popular preacher in this com
munity.

The Legitimate Result of bad
Road.

The largest business In any sin
gle line that is now being done in
and about this town, is the transpor
tALion of freight from the depot te
the oil fields.
No man has any conception of the
magnitude of this business and the
amount of money being expended in
it unless he has been about the de.
pot, or has seen or heard something
about the amount of material re.
ceived and transported.
We do not think it is any exag-
geration to say that the money ex-
pended for the hire of teams since
the oil business opened in this coun-
ty would have built railroad from
Morgantown to Cassville. If any
one doubts this statement let him
go to the depot and observe the
amount of freight arriving and al
ways there for transportation to the
oil fields, and talk with the Agent
in regard to this matter.
Let him inquire into the prices
that are being paid teams for this
hauling. Let him observe that
every available team that is owned
hereabouts is employed, and that
they are earning almost fabulous
wages for the work, while the freight
continues to pile up beyond the ca
pacity of all the teams of all the
neighborhood to haul.
Now the one fact we desire tc
mention in this connection is this
to wit: that this immense transpor-
tation is all done over one of oul
public roadside road running dowr
the river toward Granville and Jim
town or Randall. The condition o.
that road is and has been such that
nothing but the most pressing neces
sity or the most exhorbitant pay
would induce a man to go over il
with team of horses, 1t Is stated
as a fact by the drivers, that al
some points on the road the mud
holes are SO deep that the mud &C
tually runs through the pipes with
which the wagons are loaded. 1t re-
quires six horses to haul two
horse load, and this is done at thu
risk of both horses and vehicles.
What do the men who are usins
this road think of this county any
how?
What do we think of ourselves2
And more important inquiry is,
what will be the probable effect OF
result of this one bad road upon this
business and the interest of Nor
gantOwn in the oil business?
Unquestionably these oil mer
would get to the oil fields by an
other route if they could. They
would abandon Morgantown if they
could. If they find they must hav'
better means of access to the field,
than they now have-and they viii
their first impulse will be to ge
in from some other point than Nor
gantown aad cut it off from all shar
in the profits of the business. 1
they determine that they must hav,
a railroad, and they will, it will
come from Waynesburg and no
from Morgantown.
In short this one bad road may
cost us all our interest in the OF
fields and oil business, and it will
serve us just right if it does.
We ought to be kicked for having
such a road.

just rebuke to the Democratic news
papers that are so freely INDUCING
in structures upon Governor Wilson
because he has failed to call the
legislature together. We join in
the protest of the Herald against
that course, and bid the Democratic
press to reflect little soberly upon
the subject before addressing them
selves to the task of belaboring and
belittling Governor Wilson. Under
the circumstances of the contest be.
tween Fleming and Golf, Governor
Wilson found himself in the most
trying position of his career. He
esteemed it to be his solemn duty
under his oath of office to continue
to discharge the duties of Governor
until it was determined under the
laws of the State who was elected tc
succeed him.
This position he was confirmed in
by the Supreme Court of Appeals in
proper case, and it was then decid
ed by that tribunal in effect that he
had no choice in the matter-that il
was his duty to hold over. So fal
as Governor Wilson's title to the Of
flee is concerned it dates back to the
4th day of March, 1885, when he
was duly installed as Governor te
hold the office until his successor
was elected and qualified. The Of
flee is one created by the law and
the highest exponent of that law
has declared that he lawfully holds
it this day.
All the trash and rot contained in
low toned Republican sheets in the
State, edited by irresponsible black
guards, cannot negative the estap.
lished law of the land, nor bring te
pass one whit sooner the perform
ance of any 81 Governor Wilson's Of
fetal acts.
The Contest Committee must first
announce its report ready before the
Governor can safely issue his cal
concerning the Legislature to try
the case on the report. The chic
object of that called session is to de-
termine that contest, and until that
report is ready there is no sense in
converting it. The Governor would
be a fool to call session of the leg
islature with that contest as the OBJ.
ject, and have it sitting here at q
vast expense with it's finger in its
mouth.
Let up on Governor Wilson, al
you grumbling Democrats, and turr
your attention towards getting rio
of Republicanism. Governor Wilson
deserves your praise, not your cen
sure. He has stood in the breach
manfully and honestly, where weak
er men would have deserted anG
given way. He is Democrat and &
good one. If you thirst for gore OF
scalps get what your appetite Graves

Oklahoma line. At that hour Captain
Woodson gave the command TO ad-

for the great free-for-all race over the
prairies. Captain Woodson addressed
the boomers. and in the name OF the
United States thanked them for their
good behavior.
At precisely IL o'clock and three
minutes the bugle sounded, and the
boomers commenced their march
across the prairie. A few yards from
the starting point a boomers
horse stnmbied and fell upon
