FALSE ISSUES.
Mr.. EDITOR The Record Of Saturday
in long editorial. undertakes 70 set forth
what II considers the principal Issue In
our coming county elections. Accord
ing 10 the Record this issue II Shall the
Intelligence OF the county govern Il or
not What the editor means by this Is
whether we shall have white mans or
q negro government We are sorry TO say
that we talnk the Record here raises =
false issue. Snch thing would be very
well In Virginia, South Carolina or his
slss!ppi, but no person of intelligence
will believe that the republicans intend
tn foist of on Us 8 negro government.
The present county government Il repub-
lican ard has been an excellent admins
tration-th best Ia fact, that we have
had for twenty years, and we have no
doubt that, IL reelected. the commission
ers will continue their good work of re-
ducing taxation. The only issue. then,
as it seems, which concerns us as good
citizens Is, whether we shall re-elect set
OF excellent officials who have endeavor.
ed 10 represent the true SRterests Of tie
people, or shall we put In their places
another set of men. who, considering the
past and the Influences by which they
would be beset. are likely TO go back 70
the old methods which consisted chiefly
In squanderiDg the peoples money Ia the
interests of party or self-seeking iDdivId-
uals2 As TO the statement Of the Record
that our county roads are worse than
usual, we deny emphatically The truth
Of It's assertion. We have talked with
numerous persons from various parts OF
the county and they say that, barring 3
few bad washes, land every one knows
what a season Il has been). our roads are
as good as ever. II q negro supervisor
has been appointed here and there, he
has done his work as well as his prede-
cessors.
10 this connection 1t is proper to say
that while the roads are equally good as
formally, only about one half OF the
money has been spent on them, and this
fact should be strong recommendation
to our tax payers TO re elect the present
board This Is the issue, and not negro
domination, as 1t seems to US.

THR WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL
Did Contest Settled BY Judge Armstrong,
ElkipaRna Davis Decided Against

Old Contest Settled by Judge ArmStI0pg'
EikinA mi Davis Decided Against
Baltimore Special,
An old contest between the Baltimore
& Ohio and the West Virginia Central
Railroad has been decided by Judge
Armstrong, at Keyser, W. Va, The case
attracted much attention because Of the
prominent political lights interested.
When the West Virginia was first or
ganized, ex-senator Henry g, Davis and
Mr., John Shaw, Of Shaw Bros, In this
city, held all the stock, Stephen B,
Elkins was not slow In finding out how
profitable the venture was and be i'm:
poTtuned his father-in-law for some Of
the stock, promising that he would take
an active interest in the road The ex;;
Senator agreedto give Elkins a share and
sold him stock at o nominal plice, Then
Ar, Elkins went TO Shaw and made .
similar request, The coal man said he
had no objection but he would not think
OF selling at the same price Davis had
asked. 6You know" said Shaw, "he -
your iather-iu,law," Mr., ElkIns bought
The stock but always after that felt hurt
and waited for an opportunity TO pay
back Shaw. It came q short time axe,
DAVIS and Elkins formed combination
for tie purpose OF deposipg their former
ally, who, by the way, owns three
seventies OF the stock, aud proceeded TO
knock Mr.. Shaw out OF the directory.
The latter soon got wind OF this, and on
the day Of the election he, after consult
ing with Irving Gross, OF the Baltimore
& Ohio, conceived the idea OF making
the lawyer q director,
Gross, who Is a good lawyer, at once
took up the claim that according TO the
Constitution Of West Virginia, Shaw had
the right to vote his stock cumulatiVely
and proceeded to carry out his purpose,
Ex-senator Davis saw trouble ahead,
and to avoid the question OF cumulative
stocks going Into the courts, he struck
or the name Of W. II. Barnum, OF Con-
neCticut, who was to have taken Shave
place aud ~re'eleCting the latter to the
directory,
This didn't settle the matter, how
ever, and Shaw voted his stock Cumula'
lively, aud commended Cross was elected,
The case was taken TO court, and Judge
Armstrong decided that Shaw had a
right tn vote his stock cumulatiyely, but
Gross WIS not eligible because the stock
had not been transferred.
The decision is looked upon as q vic
tory for the Shaw people, who by cumu'
Iatfve voting can always hold q place in
the directory.
