THE Westminster AdUocate character
/ ICES the course of the Baltimore Sur
toward the Legislative lobby as "dis
reputable journalism"
Really, the Adcocate, a. paper the
JOURNAL admires, does not do itself
justice in it's criticism. Its extrav'
agance of statement is wholly unwar,
ranted by anything the San has pub,
lished concerning the suspicious haste
of the lobby to run through the Legis'
lature a bill known to be a steal
since Judge Alvey's decision motor
iously understood to be a deliberate
scheme to rob the owners of the canal
of their valuable property.
The Adoocate, however, resents at
tacks upon gentlemen above sus-
picion," an old, worn-out mask for
fraud.
But this will not answer.
When gentlemen above suspicion
and suspected gentlemen are found
working smoothly together to the
same questionable purpose, it is just
possible that time has come when
the immaculate will be spotless no
longer. Men are found out as well by
the mastery they obey as the company
they keep-some early, some later in
life.
Hence, the time may soon come when
even the indignant Adrocate will be
"keenly alive to self-interest."
UNDER the caption of "A Wise
Thing" the Keyser CIV. Va.) Echo says ::
The new proprietor of the Berkeley Springs
Ncws has raised the price of his paper from
81 to $50 per year. 1t is a wise thing to do.
No seven column country paper can be sus-
tanned at less price When we can get two
thousand subscribers we will reduce the price
Of our paper or enlarge it to nine column
The JOURNAL agrees with the Echo IN
toto except as to any necessity for en-
largement at any price or circulation.
But we mostly desired to call atten-
ton to the antiquated fad OF 81 IN ad-
vance, $1.25 within six months, and
$1.50 at the end of a year, lately re-
vived hereabouts, much to the amuse-
ment of old and settled publishers.
1t was always funny system for
the reason that a newspaper that Is
actually worth any one of the three
prices is novelty.
According to the rules of legal in
terest newspaper that is worth only
81 at the beginning of the year cannot
possibly be worth over $l.O3 at the
end of six months, or 81 .O6 at the close
of the year.
Even then the system makes the
dead horse worth more than the live
one.

TOWN HAPPENINGS

Brerites.--An increase of pension
was last week granted to Joseph T..
Hensell, of thus place.
The Sultan of Turkey has sent three
hairs from the Beard of the Prophet ta
the city of Aleppo. Nobody knows ex-
actly where he got them, but it is
believed at these headquarters that
they were found in Frostburg in roll
of fresh butter made from keg of
last summer's vintage. Where the
Sultan resides is of no consequence,
but the Prophet doubtless lives in
Garrett county.
AT great toll and expense big sign
board raised oyer Leolger Office Tues
day. Thus are we sowing the seed for
the traditions of the future:
The boxes of garden seed exposed for
sale by Lloyd F. Taylor are II credit to
his taste and enterprise, and also to
the town. His parcels, boxes and MIN
ING JOURNAL printing can not be beaten
for neatness and elegance, while his
seed, indigenous to the soil and ac-
climated to our temperature, are inst
what our people should buy. From
the character of the man we will guar
antce them to be honest seed.
Again it is reported that the Georges
Creek and Cumberland railroad will
run into Frostburg this spring. That
March wind has famed us before.
Somebody called Titus A. Brick
"uncie Tite" the other day, and il
nearly broke the old fellows heart. A
great man is good deal more likely
to be weak on little points Of etiquette
like that than AZ ordinary plug.
Fred and John Schofield put the elee;

day. AS practical machinists they are
by heredity and experience hard tc
beat.
Editorial matter left over for next

CHtttCetD Dedm'-IhlS community
was panied last Sunday by the sad in
telligence of the death of Miss Lavinia
Anthony, third daughter of Reuben
Anthony, of this vicinity. The young
lady had contracted typhoid fever in
Cumberland and came home few
weeks ago. She grew steadily worse
until death ended life that promised
TO be useful and exemplary. Miss
Anthony distinguished herself in 1888
when, as visitor to Decatur, Ala,
she declined to fee from the approach
of yellow fever. She remained and
nursed a stricken family whose men,
bers had shown her hospitality aud at
tention. Her heroism on that occasion
won and obtained the admiration of
her numerous friends. The funeral
took place Wednesday, at the Presby-
terian church, Rev. A. C. Thompson,
pastor, officiating. The pallbearers
were Messrs. J. j. Derr and Robert
Young, of Cumberland j. B. and
Thomas Dixon, of Homecoming, and
George T. Smith, Edward l.. Betz,
George B. Percy and George j. Con-
ner, of this place. The remains, in
tered in Allegany cemetery, were fol-
lowed to their final rest by large
concourse.
The Editor ,Uas ".4dmired. THE
Ledger reports the following piece of
neooS.:
A letter received by Frostburg lady con-
tains passage very complimentary to the
Ledger. The writer speaks of the Ledger's
failure to notice the "sneers and ridicule'' of
jealous newspapers and says:
The absence of any notice of them in the
Ledger was dignified and so selfrespecting
that / could not fail to admire the editor for
it, and for this reason | wish the new paper
success.
AS an apologist this speaking writer
is not success.
He. she, or it is likewise failure as
a grammarian.
1t ought to keep still as a mink, and
mute as a henchman of the West Vir-
ginia Central railroad company.

ANY House in North Carolina !

Now, all we ask is little investi-
cation on your part to see if what
we say is not the truth. If it is,
are we not entitled to your con-
fdence? If not the truth, you owe
it to yourselves and your neighbors
to expose our fallacies. We claim
that we brought down the prices Of
dealers in other brands of Fertilizers
this is fact which is evident to-
most of you. Again, we claim that
we sold Fertilizers at a much less
profit than any dealer here; and in
proof of this, we will refer you to
the Bulletin issued by the State
Board of Agriculture, giving the
analyses of the different brands of
Fertilizers sold in the State, and
their worth; and, and according to
this, we sold our goods at from $500
to $500 per ton less than other
goods sold here, having an analysis
lower than ours-thereby proving
conclusively that we sold at a much
less profit than other dealers. Well,
says one, there is no truth in the fig
ures given by the State Chemist.
That being the case, why do you
keep him employed at a large salary?
But, we claim that his tests are a
true basis upon which to judge of
the merits of the different Fertilizers,
and if it was not for him the State
would be flooded with worthless stuff
| at eXhOrbitant prices,

Mr.. Oldham's Mistake,


Mr. E. A. Oldham, who once lived
in Winston, but who lately conduct
ed the Durham Daily Globe, has sue
ceeded in drawing down upon himself
the burning wrath of the people of
Durham.
A few days ago he wrote letter
from Norfolk, Va, to the Atlanta
Constitution, but dated his letter at
Raleigh. In that letter he stated, in
effect, that Durham was a dead
town and that negroes were occupy
ing nice houses that were formerly
tenanted by whites.
The Durham people telegraphed to
the Constitution and secured the
name of the writer, and since then
Mr.. Oldham has been the worst cuss-
ed man that ever trod Durham dirt.
The Constitution sent it's correspon-
dent. Mr.. c. F. King, to Durham to
ascertain the facts and his letter to
that paper doesn't state anything
which Mr.. Oldham would like to add
to his autobiography.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Oldham
did gross injustice to Durham and it's
people and there is no doubt that his
article was inspired by a bitterness
born of failure to sustain a paper
whose success was clearly seen to be
impossible from the start.

About a Public Building.


Col. J. W. Alspaugh, of this city,
was in Washington a few days ago,
and while there interviewed Congress
men Henderson and Brewer and SEN
ator Ransom on the subject of the
proposed public building for Wins
ton. Mr.. Brewer was very sanguine.
He thought that if our claims were
properly presented that Winston had
a very good chance. Mr.. Henderson
and Senator Ransom We're snot SO
hopeful. They have both been in
public life ID long time and possibly
underStand the situation better than
Mr.. Brewer. They thought it ex-
tremely unlikely that any North Car
DINA town could secure an appro-
priation from this administration.
However, Notwithstanding this, it
is improbable that our people will let
the matter rest. A committee, which
was appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce, is at work devising ways
and means of presenting Winston's
claims to Congress in the strongest
light and several of our most prom
inent citizens have expressed their
willingness to contribute toward the
expense of sending delegation to
Washington city.

Phosphate. For Grain, &c.

These three brands we have sold,
and we confidently claim for them a
record second to none. We have
made strict inquiry of those who
bought of us as to their merits, and
the testimonials in every instance are
very fattering. We haven't had a
single complaint. Many farmers
say they used it, side by side with
other and higher cost grades, and
that it is as good as any and in many
instances better. We want no bet
ter record for it than it has been
made wherever used. Now ABOUT
PRICES: Our position is this: IF
the farmer can increase the yield and
enhance the value of his products
by using Fertilizers, then the more
he uses the better it is for HIM and
for the merchant. Consequently
your interests and our interests
are identical, and anything we
can do to help you will behelping
ourselves, and it stands to reason
that the cheaper we sell to you
the more you can buy, hence the in
creased benefit to both of us is evil

honest contradiction, land we believe

STILL ANOTHER RAILROAD!
Il is Probable that the K. & D. r. r. Co.
will Run their M Ain Line II -,agi
WinStOn-Salem

Winston-Salem
The chances are fair that Winston
will ere long be on two main lines
from the North to the South Be
sides the Roanoke & Southern (which
is IL certainty it now appears that
the Richmond and Danville r. r. Co.
| are beginning to prepare to build
their main line through this place,
along the line of the n. c. Midland
survey.
The r. & D. own the franchise of
| the N. G. Midland. A good part of
| the grading has been done and the
R. & D. will only have to build Il part
of the way from Danville to Winston,
and from Mocksville to Statesville in
order to put their main line through
| this city, making it the shortest line
to Atlanta.
If they do this las is probable) the
r. & D. will then own the whole line
and will be independent Of the North
Carolina from Greensboro to Char
lotte).
The following facts on this interest
Register: In conversation yester-
day with an engineer of the Rich
mond and Danville corps, the Regis
ter learned that the object of the sur
vey which is now making from this
city is to get a direct line of road to
the South. In yesterdays paper
mention was made of the fact that
the Richmond and Danville leases the
North Carolina road from Green's
borO to Charlotte as part of it's
main line, and as the lease will soon
expire, it is now the object of the
company to get line of its own. 1t
is said that the Richmond and Dan
vile is compelled to have a double
track from Danville to the South to
accommodate its business, and the
new road will be built in order to
give the company second track, as
well as to make it independent of the
North Cnrolina Railroad. The pro-
posed road will go from Danville to
Madison, thence to Winston and
from that point to Gastonia, just be-
yond Charlotte. The present survey
is from Danville to Winston and an
other party of engineers from Wins
ton is working this way. 1t is said
that the work of construction will be-
yin dS SOOIl iS Uiie Iillt 10 lOCtCtu otHu
when completed, the new road will be
used for the fast trains, it being the
most direct line, while the old road
(around by Greensboro) will be used
for heavy freights. a.
The people of Winston will he inter
ested to hear what Col. A. B. An
drews says about the proposed new
line from Danville. A News and OBJ
server reporter interviewed him this
week. Col Andrews stated that the
only thing which could be said at
prestnt was that the survey is now
being made, and had not yet been
completed. Till this is done nothing
definite can be stated as to what the
final result will be. -
