A Fatal Mistake.

4 most distressing affair is reported
from Pleasant Valley, a small village
near Wheeling. Two men named
Ball shot and killed their brother-in-
law, George Hess, by installing him
for burglar. Mrs. Hess had been
in delicate health, and her husband,
fearing the Hood, received permission
from her physician 10 take his family
TO the residence OF his motherin-law,
at Pleasant Valley. The hack con

the Ball residence until after mid
night, and Mr.. Hess tried TO arouse
the sleeping family "a easily as posi-

County Roads.

County Roads.
The Norfolk Virginian makes the
following sensible and timely remarks,
which We cordially endorse, and COM
mend to the perusal of our country
friends:
A matter OF ridicule OF the South
has been the conversancy of its PEG
pie with national politics and utter
neglect of domestic interests. That
distinguished citizen of Massachu-
settles, Caleb Cushing, once said to
the writer that the boys OF Virginia
knew the constitution from a to z,
but were utterly ignorant Of home
economies 1t was n just criticism.
The Virginian has directed attention
to some OF these failures as to home
affairs, and there is health and pros
perity in attention to the simple mat
ter of the county roads.
Fifty years ago there was some eI-
cuse for bad roads, for our country
was poor. Now that it is rich, there
is no excuse.
A good road is always to be desired,
and a source of comfort and conven-
fence to every traveller.
Good roads attract population, as
well as good schools and churches.
Good roads improve property, so that
it is said farm lying five miles from
market, connected by a bad road, is
OF less value than an equally good
farm lying ten miles away from mar
ket connected by good road.
A larger load can be drawn by one
horse over a good road, than by two
over a bad one.
Good roads encourage the greater
exchange OF products and commodi-
ties between one section and another.
Good roads are of great value to
railroads as feeders.

From Way Back.


Prof. Joseph McMurran showed us
some interesting old newspapers this
week published many years ago in
Shepherdstown. Among them were
the American Eagle Of Decembe
II, 1918, published by Robinson and
Harper; the Virginia Monitor" pub
lished May 10, 1921, by Edward Bell;
and the Journal" of May II, 1926
by John Alburtis. In them we notice
many familiar names and some very
interesting incidents. Richard Bay
Tor offers 40 or so negroes for hire in
front of Walpert's Tavern; Selby 4
Wysong advertise some superior cut
ting knives, duftail and keyhole saws,
and other hardware, besides fine
cloths and dress goods; James s. Lane
& Towner, who kept general lner-
chandise, appear to have been lib
eral advertisers; James Bell offers to
carry -four to Georgetown, in either
Of his four good boats, if the water is
at the proper stage, for a dollar
barrel. In the Monitor" Aaron
Jewett offers his services as a lawyer,
and also has for hire negro woman
and girl; DR.. s. b Foster says he
will practice physic;" Jacob Byers
announces that he is prepared to do
coverlet weaving and similar work.
These papers seem to have made no
attempt to record local news of airy
kind except brief notices Of weddings
and deaths, but all have full accounts
OF the foreign news and the state OF
affairs in the Old World.

A COMPLETE Canal Kc.ory.


The Court of Appeal of Maryland
has unanimously affirmed the decree
of Judge Alvey in all of the Chesa-
peake Il Ohio Canal cases This
places the canal in the hands of the
trustees Of the bondholders Of 1874,
and there is now no reason why the
work of restoration shall not be speed
lily completed. Mr.. H. H. Keedy, one
of the trustees of the canal, saws of
the decision This virtually means
the restoration of the canal, as the
enemies of the work can carry the
case to no higher court. The work
upon the canal, which has been tenn
porarily suspended, pending the de-
cision Of the court Of appeals, will at
once be resumed and will be pushed
to an early completion. We conf
IDENTIFY expect to have boats running
OIL the canal in few months"
We understand that a few weeks
work will make the canal navigable
from Cumberland to Williamsport.
Then the only important damage be-
tween Williamsport and Shepherds
town is at Dam No. 4, where the work
of repair is already almost completed.
1t is not within the improba bilities
that the canal shall be opened up
from Cumberland to Shepherdstown
by the 18th of April, and coal fur
nished to the industries here as for
merly.
The citizens Of Sharpsburg will hold
a Jubilee meeting to night and the
Williamsporters Saturday night to
celebrate the victory for the canal.

A Painful Experience.

Miss Clara Schley, Of misplace, who
is visiting in Philadelphia, had most
disagreeable experience the other
evening. While she was with par
" OF friends watching a great fire in
that city, sudden rush of the crowd
separated them and knocked Miss
Clara down. She was trampled on
and became unconscious. She was
carried into a house near by, where
she remained for several days before
she was well enough to be taken
home. Her face was very badly
bruised and she sustained great
shock, but we are glad 10 say that
she has completely recovered now.

Salt for the Throat.

An exchange says: In these days
when diseases of the throat prevail,
and particularly dry hacking
cough, which is not only distressing
to ourselves but to those with whom
we are brought into business contact,
those thus afflicted may be benefited
by trying the following remedy
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt We
commenced by using it three times n
day-morning, noon and night. We
dissolved n large tablespoonful Of
common salt in about tumblerful
Of cold water, and with this we gar
gled the throat most effectually, just
before meal time. The result has
been that during the winter we were
not ONLY free from tie usual coughs
and colds to which, as far as our
memory extends, we have always
been subject, but the dry, hacking
cough has entirely disappeared. We
attribute it entirely to the salt gar
gle, and do most cordially recon-
mend it to those Of our readers who
are subject to disease of the throat.

Maxine Progress.

Making Progress.
We have to report this week that
the boom is making favorable pro-
gress. The incorporators, or promo
tiers, have been busy since our last
report in the work OF furthering
their purposes and communicating
plans, and we hope in the next issue
Of the REGISTER to announce the or
ganization and some Of the details Of
the Shepherdstown Mining, Manufac-
turing and Improvement Company.
While to the public the movements
may appear slow, we can assure our
readers that substantial progress is
being made, and sure. The impor-
tant thing is to have the foundation
solid, and we are confident that our
people will approve when the various
plans of the concern are made public.

The Railroads.


The Washington and Cumberland
Railroad is by no means dead, even
though the decisions in the canal
cases prevent it from building along
the towpath. Capt. James Parsons,
chief engineer Of the West Virginia
Central Railroad, was in Hancock
last week examining what is known
as the old Taylor survey. 1t is the
opinion of many persons that the
road will be built along an independ-
ent route.
1t is said that a demand will be
made in few days upon the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad by the OPP
orators and station agent on the
third. fourth and fifth divisions for an
increase of twenty per cent in salaries
and one Sunday off each month. The
petition for the increase has been In
circulation among the men for the
past month.
Last ear during the local election
campaign report was circulated that
certain railroad employees who were
working for the temperance cause
were likely to lose their places for
their zeal. or course the report was
absurd and untruthful, for it is we'll
known fact that all railroads encour-
age every effort for temperance and
sobriety This fact is again proved
by the following dispatch from Scran-
ton, Pa, which says The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company
has created a sensation in this county
by taking a hand against the saloons
in the prevailing fight for liquor IL
censes. A number of trainmen in the
employ of the company who signed
the petitions of the liquor men were
astonished by immediate discharge.
When they asked for the reason for
this they were informed that they
would be reinstated as soon as they
withdrew their names from the liquor
petitions. The names were with
drawn and the men reinstated. The
company's representative explained
that the lives of the Thousands who
trust themselves upon their trains de-
pend upon the sobriety OF the EN-
ployees, and when men are found who
give active and moral support to sa-
looms near their own homes, the COM
pany does not think that they are
competent to care for the safety OF
others. This rule is to be enforced
from Hoboken to Buffalo"
There will be another b. 81 o. ex-
cursion to Washington and Balti-
timore on the 18th of March.
A report is going the rounds OF the
newspapers that in the future all
Pullman cars are to be painted
white.
While Calvert F. Wolford, of Mar
tinsburg, 3. & 0. brakeman, was
trying to couple some cars at Cum
berland Monday morning he was
knocked down and terribly injured.
His back and thigh were broken and
his left leg crushed. He died in afew
hours, and his remains were sent to
Martinsburg the same afternoon.
A Royal Blue train made the run
between Philadelphia and Baltimore
last Friday in 1OS minutes. The dis
lance is 90 miles.
The Norfolk & Western pay car
made its monthly visit to this place
on Tuesday.
The n. g. w. R. r. is just now en-
gagged in tremendous shipments of
coke. The coke starts in Bramwell
and Pocahontas, Va, and then comes
up the n. g. w. to the G. V. K. r. on
to Robisonia and Cornwall, Pa, lying
on the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad, where there.are great num-
bers of furnaces.
