One Thousand Millions.
One thousand million dollars !!

One thousand million dollars
Imagine, if possible, the enormity
Of the sum.
Aye, enormity is the right word. 1t
stands for IAN exceeding onense
against right or decency; atrocious
crime; flagitious villainy; atrocity."
And what milder terms will the peo-
pie of this country use when they
learn that $1,000, 900, 900 have been
added to the burdens that already
grind and Cypress them?
One thousand million dollars in new

1t has gone, said that gentleman,

Farmers SwindIed.

Nine prominent farmers living near
Charlotte n. c., have been swindled
in the past few days out Of S125 apiece
by a man named Fletcher, represent
ing Fletcher & Co., manufacturers
and patentees for combination wire
and slat-fence. Fletcher, they claim,
went round and persuaded them into
taking the agency for his fence, they
giving what ne said were notes or
surety to the amount of S125 apiece.
As soon as each agent had sold 1000
rods of the fence, Fletcher was to re-
turn the note. The farmers took the
agency and signed the notes, which
it turns out are negotiable. Fletcher
went to Danville, Va, and, sold them
to a Mr.. Cohn, who is looking into
the matter The banks declined to
honor the notes, and the Danville
purchaser found there was something
wrong. He left to catch up with
Fletcher. In the meantime the notes
he holds are good, and can be col
lected. The farmers contracts turned
out to be negotiable and the farmers
are wiser and sadder men.

legislative Proceedings.

Advices from Charleston Indicate
that the Legislature will adjourn this
Friday evening. Since our last re-
port the Australian ballot bill has
been passed by both Houses, having
been adopted by strict party vote.
The bill did not meet the entire ap-
probation of all the Democrats, but
they said as the people demanded
such law they were willing to let
| them have it. The new. apportion-
msnt bill, described in last week
REGISTER, has also passed both
Houses, though several Democrats
voted against it. Judge Ferguson
said he thought the law violated the
constitution, and besides he was op-
posed to gerrymandering.
The Senate, after discussion OF
several hours, decided to appropriate
$4,000 for a State exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. 1t is thought the
House may cut the appropriation
down still more. Some Farmers AL
liances of the State sent in protests
against any appropriation whatever.
Senator Knott's stock law bill was
dtfeatsd in the House by a vote OF
IS to IS.
There has teen a protracted and
hotly-contested fight in the Legisla-
ture over the list OF school books to
be adopted. The Committee on Edu-
cation invited all the firms Of promi-
hence in the country to come before
it, and there have been about dozen
agents there all the time. The fight
eliminated few days ago in the
Senate when the list now used in this
State was readopted, and a school
book commission created to look
up the subject and report two years
hence. The House, under the leader
ship Of a secret caucus agreement OF
some of its members, amended the
Senate list by small majority, strik-
ing out Rays Arithmetics and Har-
vey's Grammars and inserting Went
worth's Arithmetics and Hyde's Ian
guage Series. Monday the House
plan, which also leaves out the COM
mission feature, came up in the Sen
ate and was knocked out by decided
majority, so it is not likely any change
will occur.
Delegate Morgan's bill to make per-
sons confined in county jails on cdp,as
profne work on roads to pay fine and
costs were passed. The law is also APP
pIicable to municipal corporations.
The Senate passed a joint resolu-
ton authorizing the Governor to as
certain what statuary other States
have placed in statuary hall in the
National Capitol, and see what the
rights OF West Virginia are in the
premises and report to the next Leg
islature.
Senate Bill No. 1e2, concerning the
listing of property, providing for as
sessing bonds, notes, etc, was indeti
nitely postponed. The Senate re-
fused to pass the bill relating to the
salaries OF county officers.

It's sometimes said patent medicines
are for the ignorant. The doctors
foster this idea. THE people" we're
told, ARE mostly ignorant when it
comes to medical science" Suppose
they are what a sick man needs is
not knowledge. but a cure, and the
medicine that cures is the medicine
for the sick. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures the do be-
lieves" and the don't believes"
There's no hesitance about it, no 'if'
nor possibly 1t says-"I can cure
you, only do as direct" Perhaps it
fails occasionally. The makers hear
of it when it does, because they never
keep the money when the medicine
fails to do good. Suppose the doctors
went on that principle. eve beg the
doctors pardon. 1t wouldn't do)

form of catarrh i'm the head, is radi-

Honeymoon in a Hospital.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Dulany, a bridal
party from Fauquier county, Va,
will i'm a few days be dismissed from
the West Pennsylvania Hospital,
Pittsburg, says a dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Press, where they have
passed a sixteen weeks honeymoon
strange and unparalleled. On No
vember IA last they were almost fatal
ly injured in collision on the Penn
svlvania Railroad, near New Flor
ence. On last Tuesday, for the first
time, Mr.. Dulany was permitted to
walk alone. Mrs. Dulaney as yet is
scarcely able to move about on
crutches. So interested has the
whole West Pennsylvania Hospital
been in the young patient that the
day, two weeks ago, when MIR. and Mrs.
Dulany were placed, for the first time,
in their invalid chairs was an occa-
sion OF general rejoicing. Though
perfect strangers, the young couple
have made an enviable list of friends
since their detention in Pittsburg,
and are the objects of much social at
tention.
"a strange honeymoon, truly" said
the groom in a chat with a reporter,
but laying aside the fret few days
of pain and suffering, augmented by
the anxiety of each one for the other,
we claim as ours the happiest honey
moon i'm America. We have cheered
each other, consoled each other, and
have kept each other from growing
impatient over the enforced delay,
which has stretched its length along
for sixteen weeks.
INV sweetheart, Anne Carter, and
we're married on the evening OF No
yember 10. at the home Of the bride s
family. A costly furnished home in
Duluth awaited us, and we started of
on our trip in great glee. We were
in high spirits the day we sped on our
journey toward the West. Then
came the crash, the means, the un-
consciousness. We were brought ln'
to the West Pennsylvania Hospital
where my wife lay unconscious for a
long time, and | in agony, both OF
mind and body, unable to move. My
wife was cut severely about the head
and her ankles were crushed, while
my injuries were all in the back.
TT will be weeks before either OF us
10 well, but as soon as we are able 10
travel we shall go back TO the old Vir-
ginia home until it is prudent to make
another start West. The great thank
fulness that we still have each other
has overbalanced any tendency to re-
pining, and besides, my wife has
shown such patience and womanly
nobility and resignation that | do
not dare grumble. But if anybody
had limited beforehand that | should
be obliged to spend honeymoon Of
three or four months in q hospital,
am afraid there would have been q
wrathful objection.

THE West Virginia Legislature has
finally passed the new apportionment
bill, which increases the number Of
delegates from 65 to II and insures a
Democratic majoity for some time to
come. It's no use denying that it is
a political gerrymander, pure and
simple, and we are not able to swal-
low it without an effort. We do not
exactly like the way the districts are
arranged, for we do not think it is
altogether just. Some counties are
deprived Of representation entirely
without good grounds, while in many
cases political necessities alone have
guided the managers OF the new plan.
AS remarked before, we cannot fully
endorse the measure; and yet, when
we consider how unjustly the Repub-
licans gerrymandered New York, how
shamelessly they cut up Ohio when
they had chance, and how bare
faced and corrupt they have been in
their political management in Con-
necticut and other New England
States-when we reflect on this, it is
no easy thing to condemn the Demo-
Gratis for giving them dose Of their
own medicine
