| GEoRGETowN, Sept. 21.-Since our last
report at least one item worthy OF notice,
has slid in, in our place.
1t now transpires that our merchant
| III. Clay Miller and H. n NJ Chips
will exchange property on Nov. LIST. This
| is quite surprise to many of our people
as negotiations had been kept rather
quiet.
The only other real estate transfer we
| know of is that OF j. t. Camp and wife
of Lewis county, of their Stewards Run
property, "a q acres of land, to Vim. A.
| Thorn for $500. We learn Mr.. Thorn
will locate on the land.
Harry, son of Capt. L. E. Arnett, Of
this place, is still suffering from typhoid
fever, with which he has been suffering
for four weeks, and while his friends are
hopeful for his recovery, as yet there is
not much improvement in his condition.
We regret also to note that Col. d.
Hawkins, of near Hagans, Clay district,
is seriously i'll, and his friends and phys
icians consider his case very critical
one.
The people OF our immediate neigh
borhood Clay district, had basket pic
mic Sunday School celebration Saturday
at Point Pleasant. A good crowd was
present and good time reported. VIM.
E Glasscock of your place and Capt. A.
Garrison OF Pedlar's Run, were the
speakers.
We learn that the Sugar Grove people
will also have Sunday School enter
tainment next Saturday.
Rev. Buchanan conducted very in
teresting service at Sugar Grove on Sun
day, and the afternoon attendance was
very large.
j. w. Teter, of Arnettsville, with his
estimable wife are visiting his people in
Virginia at present.
Elias. j. Eddy, OF Battelle district, was
down in Grant and purchased some fine
Southdown and Shropshire sheep last
week. Success to enterprise.

A Counfx Fmir.

An annual agricultural Fair would
be of immense benefit to this county.
1t was an unlucky day for Monon
gala when the old Fair company
threw up the sponge, and disposed Of
the prettiest fair grounds in the
State.
1t is true that there we're good rea-
sons for dissolving that company at
that time. The people were not pa
tronizing the fair to an extent ojus-
tify it's continuance. That was part
ly the fault of the Fair company and
partly of the people. What was
needed was reorganization and a
little more life and enterprise infus-
ed into it. At one time our old
county fair was as good one as the
State could boast.
There is more to warrant a Fair at
this time than there was then. There
is more to show and more money in
the stock and other things which go
to make Fair now than then. This
has become almost exclusively a
stock county. We could make almost
as good an exhibit as Harrison coun-
ty, and after a few years the Fair
itself would bring up the stock of
the county equal to that of any 9th
er in the State.
A county Fair, like a circus, is
one of the things that don't wear out.
The people will always turn out to
a Fair if it is respectable. They are
more literally patronized to- day than
twenty five years ago, and they grow
in popularity. The Harrison county
Fair is said to have sold $4,000 tick
cts on one day this season. The
Wheeling Fair did better than that.
The whole surrounding country pour
ed into it.
A good Fair in this comfy would
draw just as well. Moreover it
would pay the stockholders and pay
the whole people ifproperly managed.
1t is good thing to bring all the
people together every year to exam
inc the products of the county, com
pare notes, and renew acquaintance.
1t stirs up healthy competition
and helps every kind of business
To have successful Fair, it ought
to be in the hands of few enter
prising business men and managed
on business principles. 1t won't
amount to much if the stock is dis
tributed around in small dribs, so
that it becomes eyerybody's business
and nobody gives it adequate atten-
ton. 1t ought to be organized on a
purely business basis and CON
Quoted on business principles. The
stockholders and managers ought to
have a fair chance to make some
money out of it, and they ought to
have enough money in it to keep
up healthy interest and activity
in making it go.
Let us organize first class Fair
procure convenient and handsome
grounds and have an annual exhi-
bition that will not only pay its way,
but be credit and an advantage to
the county.

Our vivacious western correspond
ent NJ. A. Y. has lately been affilia-
ting with the Montana Press Asso-
citation and received much attention
from the members. At the banquet

by her masterful use of English and
her brilliant wit she had captured
the assemblage. She is much adj
mired and sought after in Montana.
Before returning east she will visit
the Pacific Coast and our readers
will be treated to some graphic de-
scriptions of that region. 1t is very
probable that she will become a Globe

Henry s. Walker.

The name of Henry S. Walker was
one of the most familiar to the peo-
pie Of West Virginia among the list
of her prominent men.
He was recognized as a man of re-
markable talent in some directions.
As an orator he had few superiors.
In the prime of his career there were
few who dared to battle with him on
the platform or the hustings. Some
(. of the most brilliant achievements of
his life were Of this character.
As politician he was somewhat
cratic in his course, and but for
this fact might have occupied the
highest official positions in the gift
Of the people Of this State He was
singularly unsuccessful as politi-
clan yet every body recognized his
political sagacity and skill in deal
ling with men. But he was general
" IN advance Of the popular trend,
and too early to reap the result Of
movements which he had anticipat-
ed. Had be succeeded in getting
into either house of congress he
would have undoubtedly made a
national reputation.
Like many other brilliant men, he
burnt the candle at both ends, and
thus at an age when he ought to
ave been in his prime his life went
rrt. He will be missed in West
tfginia, but the memory Of bis
5er will live after him.

NIeKinIeyism i'm Germany.
st. Louis Republic.

Germany has a Mckinley tariff
levied to protect it's labor against
"the pauper labor" of Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and other western
farming States which produce bread
stuffs for sale to the German people.
The most favored class in Germany
are the noble landlords, for whose
protection against our farmers the
German Government levies the same
high taxes we levy in this country
to protect our trusts. AS the land
holders of Germany are thus pro-
tected exactly as are our holders of
manufacturing machinery, it is in
teresting to see how much of this
protection reaches the German work
err. The Massachusetts, official re-
ports on manufactures show that in
the cotton factories OF that single
State there are 10000 persons work
ing for "under SIS week." In the
consular reports for June, Consul
General Edwards, of Berlin, gives a
table of the wages paid the highly
protected agricultural laborers of
Germany in all the townships of the
Empire. These wages run from 5
to go cents day, according to age
and sex, and Consul Edwards saws:
When it is taken into considera-
ton that the laborers 'find them
selves" from such wages, it seems
reasonable to conclude that such
food as beef and pork at their pres
ent prices is beyond their reach.
1t appears from these tables that
the average days wages. for a full
grown, able bodied male farm work
err is about 80 cents day under a
Mckinley system of high protective
taxes for the landlords. Drawing
such wages and finding themselves"
while protected" on Mckinley prin-
ciples against our food supplies, it is
hardly likely that these poor people
will be able to afford our beef and
pork. All they can afford is to draw
their belts tighter around their emp
ty stomachs and throw up their hats
for the Kaiser exactly as the far
mers of Ohio are being called on to
throw up their hats for Mckinley.
How much longer will people to
whom God gives brains enough to
fill their stomachs and cover their
backs in comfort be guilty of this
folly.

HENRY s. WALKER DEAD.
The News Great Shock to his Friends.
He expires, in Philadelphia, Of Heart
Trouble.

CHARLESTON, W. VA. Sept. 49,
Hon. Henry S. Walker died at
O'Clock this afternoon at the Colon
made hotel, Philadelphia, of heart
disease. He had been i'll but for two
days. and was not considered dan
gerously sick. Mr.. Walker has been
for years subject to sudden attacks
of heart trouble, and on previous oc-
casions his condition has been such
as to alarm his family. He left
Charleston about nine weeks ago on
a business trip in the East, and was
taken i'll in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Mrs. Walker telegraphed her son at
Philadelphia, who was then on his
way to Princeton College, to stop at
Philadelphia and see him. Phillip
wired this morning to his mother
that his father was quite ill, but not
thought to be dangerous. Mrs.
Walker felt great anxiety for him,
though, and left this afternoon at
four O'Clock for Philadelphia, 1t was
the same hour that he died.
The remains will be sent from
Philadelphia o-morrow morning, but
the funeral arrangements have not
yet been perfected. The news of his
death, which was received here about
seven o'clock spread rapidly, and
caused universal sorrow throughout
the city.

the leading cities of the East, and
will be one of the many attractions

A professional electrician was in
town the other day, and expressed
surprise that town which seemed
to be SO well up in public enterprise
es should not have electric light.
"The smallest and most unpreten-
tious towns in the State" said he,
"are being lighted by electricity, and
it will not be five years till town
without it will be regarded as some
what eccentric"
1t was suggested that we have an
abundance of natural gas and do not
need electric light.
"You ought to have BOTH" said he.
zone does not take the place of the
other. They are not rival lights nor
does gas supply the place of electric
ity. There is as much demand for
electric light in natural gas towns as
in any other. So also where there is
an abundance Of cheap artificial gas,
the demand for electric light is not
lessened. There is place for gas
and a place for electricity in every
town. All our large cities have gas
in abundance but they have electric
| ity too, all the same"
1t was suggested that in view OF
the supply Of gas, there would not
probably be enough patrons of cleo
tricity to justify the establishment
of plant; but, said he, "you were
never more mistaken in your life
That same idea prevailed at Fair
mont. They thought the population
too small to support it. Some of its
advocates went about to canvass fol
subscribers to the light in advance
to see whether il was practicable
They could not get half dozen pa
irons in the whole town. But com
pany was organized that knew whai
they we're doing. They did not ask
anybody to take it, but they put in
the plant and the first year, declared
a dividend of s per cent. on their in
vestment.
"Now," said he, sif / were goine
to put in an electric plant in Nor
gantown / would not ask q man tt
take it before | was ready to furnish
it. There are more people in Nor
gantown who will take electricity
than there are in Fairmont. YOU
people live nicer, have nicer homes
and like to have the comforts about
them. If an electric plant was sci
up here, you could not get it in fast
enough to supply the demand. Nc
man who has lived in house lighted
by electricity will have anything else
if he can get it, 1t is luxury-a
clean, bright, convenient and incom-
parable light, that is ready at youi
touch to illuminate your house at
any instant in the night, or may be
left burning all night without the
possibility of danger
These are the views of profes
sional electrician, and they are sound.
An electric plant in Morgantown
would be good paying investment.
Its stock would rate above par in
thirty days. Moreover we will have
to get it in order to keep up with the
procession. With mountain water,
natural gas and electricity we would
be set up.

Aid For West virginia Colleges.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, September
Estate Treasurer Thompson to-
day received from the United States
a check for $4,000, for the use OF
the State colleges for instruction in
agricultural and the mechanical arts,
This is the third check received on
this account, each one being 81 ,00O
larger than the previous one. They
increase a thousand dollars each
year till they reach $4,000, which
is then made permanent appropria'
ton. The amount is to be equitably
divided between the West Virginia
University and the West Virgins
colored Institute.

evidently to be in large degree con
test of Clubs. In this Chairman
Clarkson and Chairman Brice agree
and both of them have sounded, loud
and long, the notes of warning to
their parties. What is perhaps
more to the purpose among Demo
Gratis is the practical activity Of
Senator German, whose opinions Of
the nature of political conflict are
not likely to be erroneous.
Mr.. Clarkson is losing no time
He is now in the chair of the National
Committee, as we'll as President OF
the National Republican League,
and he does not hesitate to say that
the latter is the more important OF
the two. Under his direction the
Clubs are the long right arm of the
party organization. His exhorta-
tions to this kind of work are plen-
tiful and urgent, his organizers APP
pear to be numerous, his mission
aries are everywhere and his money
chest is apparently well supplied by
the monopolies most interested.
On the other hand, the Tribune
comforts itself with the reflection
that the National Association of
Democratic Societies is ga paper or
ganization," because it is purely
popular, because it does not under
take to run regular party conven-
tions and nominate candidates, be-
cause it encourages State and local
associations, and proposes that they
shall support Democratic candidates
in their own localities without need
less interference from National of
ficIals
We predict that when the Tribune
and its monopoly allies come to
reckon up the reslts next year they
will discover that a paper organiza-
tion of this sort-that is to say, one
which leaves to the States what be-
longs to the States and to the regular
party organization what belongs to
the regular party organization-is
more effective than they now imagine
Democratic Societies are instituting
themselves throughout the country
without the aid of salaried organi-
zers or hireling spellbinders. They
are formed by the people and for the
people, and they profess the faith
and the hope of Thomas Jefferson
nothing more and nothing less.
The spontaneity of the organiza-
ton West and South is the most
promising sign of the times. The
Societies do not ask for subsidies.
They do not wait for an impulse
from headquarters. On the con-
trary, the people associated in the
Democratic Societies send on their
own agents to the National associa-
ton asking that leading Democrats
be sent out to them as their guests
for. an interchange of views and
consultation upon common interests.
The expedition of prominent Demo
cratic speakers which will start for
the Northwest to-day will find Dem
ocratic Societies everywhere in the
various States and Territories. In
Utah, for instance, there is said to be
one in every precinct, and Utah, as
natural consequence, has gone
overwhelmingly Democratic.---N. Y.
