A GREAT YEAR FOR WEST VA.
New Enterprises Coming Thick and
Fast-A Difficulty as to
Glass Wages.

~"Ntt~'N~~'
"This is going to be great year
for West Virginia. said Hon. b. L.
Butcher yesterday to a reporter.
more capital will be spent in the
State than ever before, in any period
of twelve months. and the result will
be most beneficial. The State will
take long step ahead, and her flu
ture will be more than ever assured.
The people seem to be thoroughly
alive, wherever l have been, and at
last have a proper estimate Of the
great wealth with which their State
has been endowed. Strangers are
coming among us in increased num-
bers every week, and they are find
ing that reports sent out as to the
advantages afforded here are more
than confirmed. Timber men are
particularly active. The demand
for good poplar and other timber is
simply unprecedented, and prices
are higher than for long time. As
consequence good timber lands
command high prices, when compar-
ed with what they were sold at a few
years ago, and their possessors will
make large sums out of the sale of
eligible tracts"
"What do you think Of the outlook
as regards railroads.
Il fully agree with what Major
Broun has said in this particular.
The proposed new line to Braxton
county will be especially valuable.
/ think the people of the county are
going to vote the subscription of
$50, 900 asked for Senator Camden,
/ understand, has promised the road
shall be built if the money is voted,
and the people are fayorably i'm
pressed with the opportunity. The
extension of the Davis road also
means great deal to the State, as
does the extension of the Norfolk
and Western
aWhat are the prospects of the
Black Diamond'?"
"My best information is that it
will not be built at present. In fact,
think it has been sold, or if not,
the rights, etc, are for sale. The
matter has become tangled up with
the Huntington interest, and it will
have to be all Strengthened out again.
OF course, the road will be built
eventually, as it will be a most valu-
able line, both for the State and its
owners"
Mr.. Butcher will remain in the
city for few days on business con
nected with the Immigration Asso-
citation.

DON'T GO TO SEED.


One of the saddest things that can
come to business man is to go e.
seed" We have sympathy for the
man who meets with misfortune il
his business ventures; We pity the
store keeper that an unexpected
turn in the market forces into bank
ruptcy, but we have no conmisern-
ton for the fellow who allows HE
business to die Of dry rot; who sits
sluggishly in his store year after
year without making an effort to lift
himself out of the slough in which
his whole concern is sinking.
He thinks because he was first On
the ground and built up good trado
in the surrounding territory that he
can hold his custom without further
effort. He has such an exalted idea
of his own Importance that he Les
lieves customers will contibue 70
come to him without amy particular
inducement, and so he sits and goes
to seed" Young competitors over
the way establish themselves, and
by liberal and judicious advertising
and the modern spirit of push and en-
ergy they make their stores attrAc<
tive, they carry lines of fresh, fash 4
ionablc and desirable goods, thcy
offer special inducements to patrons
and one by one the customers of thez
old fogy merchant desert him.
The flies roost upon his ceilings
undisturbed and spiders weave their
webs among his wares and across
the dingy window-panes Of his store
front. He never adyertises, he re.
CARDS it as needless expense; he
will not buy fresh stock Of goods
until he disposes of the old stun on
hand, which, as the years 60 by,
grows more and more undesirable.
By and by his expenses exceed his
income He does not go rccklcsslv
into debs, he and his family must
live somehow and the business must
go on.
II there il a deficit at the end 0f
the year he horrows little and the
interest accumulates, and vt last he
wakes up from quiet snooze some
morning to find that the sheriff has
quietly taken possession Of his chat
tells and that he has "gone TO seed
from lack of energy and Legitimate
business enterprise. There are few
towns even in the wide awake West
whore tore-keepers are not going
to seed.n Younger and more active
business men are taking their places
and arc crowding them ont Of exist
ence. The spirit Of the new genera
tion is alert, active and eager 70
please. and this is what wins and
holds the popular favor
Do not Ego to seed" II you find
thai you are running behind, and
feel that you have not the requisite
vim and energy to keep up the rep
ntation OF your establishment, close
il out. sell Off the old stuff that has
accumulated upon your hands. get
rid of it somehow. and give way to q
more energetic person; do net die OF
dry rot, do not go to seed. - Gro
cers' Criterion.

Must Prefer Sufficient Charges.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.--The
Postmaster General has thus far re-
fused to say anything for publica-
tion on the subject of offensive par
tisanship as cause for the removal
of postmasters. But the Star to-
night says: "On Saturday Mr.. Wan
amakef made the positive announce
ment to an unknown member of Con
gress, who had very offensive par
tisan postmaster he was working to
have removed, that the charge of
fensive craftsmanship would not be
regarded as sufficient cause for re-
movals. Some other good reason
wo,;ld have to begiven, and it did
not matter whether or not that
charge was attached

But childish troubles will soon pass by,

Undeservedly Laughed At.

The unthinking are prone to make
game of nervousness. Yet this is a
very real and serious affection, the
harassing symptoms of which are
rendered all the more poignant by
ridicule. The stomach is usually
responsible for these symptoms-its
weakness and disorder find reflex
in the brain, which is the headquar-
tiers of the nervous system. As a
nerve tonic and tranquillizer, we be-
licve that not one can be pointed out
so effective as Hostetters Stomach
Bitters. In renewing vigorous di-
gestion, it strikes the key note of re-
covery of strength and quietudc by
the nerves. Headaches, tremors in
quietude by the abnormal sensitive
ness to unexpected noises-all these
modify and ultimately disappear as
the system gains strength from the
great tonic Dyspepsia, bilousness,
rheumatism, constipation and kid
ncy complaints are subdued by the

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A good
deal Of pressure is being brought to
bear by naval officers to secure as
signments to the new gunboat York
town, which is soon to go into com
mission. While this is generally the
case upon the completion of new
vessel the Yorktown holds out su-
perior inducements because of her
fine officers quarters and generally
good qualities. 1t is the present
understanding that she will be com

Farmers in Conference.
Petersburg Journal Marchl13 3,

A very important meeting of the
farmers and others of this section
interested in agricultural pursuits,
was held, at two o'clock, at the Court
House. The object of the meeting
was to hear Prof. John A. Myers,
director of the West Virginia Elk
pertinent Station at Morgantown,
explain the objects and workings Of
that gift of Uncle Sam to the farmers
of West Virginia, The attendance
was good, and lively interest was
manifested.
5. S. Stone was made chairman
and A. d. Hopkins secretary of the
meeting.
Director Myers then addressed the
practical, sensible men before him
in practical, sensible manner. He
explained The object of the Expert
ment Station and showed some of
the ways in which it can be of adj
vantage to the farmers of West Vir-
ginia without any cost whatever to
them for suggestions, information
and advice from the Station.
He advised the farmers to give
their attention to the establishment
of creameries, and explained how
more money can be made in that way
than in any other way at present
apo.s the West Virginia farms.
The use of ensilage and the man
ner of its preservation in silos were
explained to the farmers,
A great many questions were ask
ed the director and satisfactorily
answered by him. The seed sown
to-day will be fruitful in results if
the farmers of Wood county will do
as Prof. Myers asks, Wig; Meet the
Station half way, take an interest in
what is being done for them, adopt
the suggestions made and show that
they have an intelligent appreciation
of what is for their own best inter
ests.
Prof. Myers is certainly the best
man for the position he holds that
could have been secured. Heis both
scholarly and practical, and knows
the teachings of the soil as well as of
the books.
Speeches were made by COL Dan
d. johnson and others, Col. johnson
making a strong address and closing
with ringing eulogy on the State
University, of which the Station is
part.
Steps were taken looking towards
the organization of Farmers Club
for Wood county.

The government is simply an
agency of the people for the execu-
ton OF certain purposes. 1t has no
sources Of revenue of its own, and
can only use the money belonging to
the people, taking from them by the
taxing power which they have lodg-
ed with their representatives. 1t
can have surplus in the Treasury
only h. drawing it out of the sub
stance of the people. 1t belongs to
Them, but the government takes it
away and puts it beyond their con-
troll. The "vast aggregate of indi-
viduals' constituting the public
may have use for that money. Per-
haps they have private debts that
they find it hard to pay, and posi-
bly, many of them as individuals
have no surplus above their daily
wants. If the government did not
take from them money which it does
not need, and pile it up in the
Treasury or pay debts with it that
are not due, and that it would have
TO pay high premium for the priv
ilege of liquidating, or squander it
upon improvements" the people
might find use for it in their "pri-
vate business and get direct ben
eft from retaining it. 1t seems to
us that common sense dictates that
the people should be allowed to re-
tain what fairly belongs to them, and
that the government should exact
no more revenue than it actually
needs for m economical administra-
tion Of public affairs. Common
sense teaches that there should be
no surplus to dispose OF" and that
taxes should be RENTED and the
revenue reduced whenever It appears
that the government Is drawing from
the people more than it needs N.
y. Times.

ELM GROVE, W. Va, March 2S.-
There has been a good deal of ex-
citement in this community during
the last few days, growing out of
horrible and business like White
Cap" warning received by two well
known citizens of the town. A week
ago last Friday Fred. Hartlieb, pro-
prietor Of the Stonehouso Hotel, re-
ceived box by express, which had
been shipped from some station on
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, be-
tween Wheeling and Baltimore
Hartlieb opened the box and was
paralyzed at its contents. There
was horrible odor of decayed hui
man flesh. Inside was a pair Of hu
man ears, two big toes. finger of
man and piece of human cuticlc
about four inches square, on which
was scrawled a warning to leave the
place at once. Hartlieb said moth
ing to his friends, but he and his
wife were about frightened to death,
and since then, up to Saturday, he
has been standing guard over his
premises with a rifle while his wife
slept. Matters drifted along until
Saturday night, when a bundle Of
hickory switches were hung on the
Hartlieb doorknob, and a paper
posted up again warning him to
leave. A like warning and bunch of
switches were also left at the home
of Anthony Smith. The facts have
just come out and the excitement
has been growing ever since.

representative of the Register sue
ceeded in securing copies of them
to-day. They show, in brief, that
Governor Wilson has been advised
to refuse to convene the Legislature

Coz. Wiison.
DEAR SIR:-You are Governor of
the State by decision of the Court.
Success is never criticised but APP
plauded. Now / have looked the
ground over, and if you want to do
an act that will be remembered
gratefully by the people of the State,
don't call an extra session of the
Legislature Of West Virginia. The
people are now oppressed by taxes.
An extra session will cost forty
thousand dollars. Why impose this
on the people? The people don't
care who IL Governor now that the
excitement Of the election is over.
The situation is not one of your
making. 1t has happened, and my
advice is to hold it until it goes from
you in due course of events, il that
is four years hence. But will you
not do wrong to saddle the people
with the coats of an extra session,
for what? ANY necessity No. But
to see whether GoG or Fleming shall
have the emoluments Of the Office of
Governor of West Virginia. If Golf
and Fleming would pay the expenses
that is another thing. The people
took one turn at it. The Legislature
spent one term at it. Both left it
where 1t sas, now in the name of my
country, don't afilict us with onoth-
er extra session. You have been
there four years, and the Courts say
you are rightfully still there-stay
two or four years more until your
successor is legally elected. Let us
have peace, for Gods sake--don't
let us be further oppressed by unnec-
essary tax.
| am Yours Respectfully,
+. IL. PIERPoINT.

In view of the fact that Speaker
Fremont Cole, of the New York AS
sembly, has confessed that he re-
ceiyed money from the Republican
State Committee to bride voters in
Schuyler county, it is in order for
the free ballot advocates Of the grand
old party to begin movement for
an amendment to their petition for
Southern policy. Dudley bought
voters in "blocks of five' in Indiana,
