A FEW SUGGESTIONS
From an Old Timer that Deserve At.
tention.

To the Editor Of the NEW DOMINION:
As the time for organization is draw
ing near we beg leave to make few
suggestions;
In this county il we win we must have
men to lead US who can draw from the
opposition, and this thing OF downing
every man who has friends in She enc
my's ranks is certainly very bad policy.
Our safe men are always our conserva-
tive element.
To hayseed from the past periods,
the plan OF present organization seems
very different from what was the origi-
nal idea. We were taught that Democ-
racy meant a representative form of gov
ment, with no bosses in it-and while it
was representative, it was the winning
card. We then selected our best men
and trusted them, and they represented
us, and there was no money required
by our representatives, for all we're will
ling to pay their own way, and our APP
pointees were men who had qualifica-
tons and tried to earn the salary.
The people are noticing the drift and
we think the people should be taken
into consideration rather than the boss
es, for the people hTye the votes.
iNcScut eNciitS pFONt our tESOt1s tuat
change is not always progress. The
patriots Of 1876 seemed to have some
ideas that were doubtless new and nov
ell then but they should be respected
now. They wanted the senate as bal
ance OF power, not fresh from the peo-
pie as the result OF heated politics. II
was wise then, it is wise now. Yet many
of our newspapers are advocating cleo
ton OF senators by the people, which to
our mind would be a very hazardous ex-
pertinent.
Recent events in West Virginia show
the tendency of the plan. Far better
favor law that would make any man
ineligible who even limited that he was
good senatorial timber. Weagree with
the book, THE old is better"
In conclusion; we honestly say that
many OF our new ideas have a damaging
tendency and having proved all things
we should bold fast to the better, but
"the parrot said sit down" we sub
NIT.

New School In MOrgantOWn,

The Misses Fordyce will open a
school in Morgantown on Monday
Sept. 10, where, in addition to the
kindergarten, full course will be
given in English, Matthew atics, Mu-
sic and French.
This will afford an excellent op-
portunity for any who desire instruc-
ton in these branches, as both ladies
in charge have had the best educa-
tional advantages and are teachers
of wide experience.
Miss Ella spent several years away
from home in special preparation
for her work, studying music with
DR.. Fasolt graduate and teacher
from Berlin Conservatory and French
with Mile Calame, a foreigner and
fine linguist.
Miss Emma has had equal advan-
tages in her line of work for which
she has also made special prepare
ton. The most approved and pro-
gressive methods only will be used,
the special needs of each pupil being
carefully studied.
The Natural Method will be used
in French, pupils being taught to
speak the language from the first.
A class will be formed for children
to which pupils as young as seven
years will be admitted.
1t will be to the advantage of pu-
pills to enter promptly, as tuition
will be charged from the beginning
of the term and it will also save con
fusion in arranging classes.

U. s. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.


General Summary: One of the
warmest weeks of the season, the
temperature on every day being
above the normal but followed to-
day by somewhat cooler conditions.
Very smoky and hazy during fore
part of week. Local showers occur
red on the 7th, Sth and 9th but were
not heavy enough to hardly lay the
dust. The drouth over this section
was s,@aacti"ally broken today by a
good soaking rain and it is expected
that same is general and that all
parts of the State will experience
the long wishedfor relief Water
has become extremely scarce and in
a number of counties the situation
is said to be very serious. Wells
and springs have given out that have
never been known to fail before and
streams are very low. In some places
water is being hauled from a consid-
cradle distance. The drouth is gen
orally conceded to be the worst in a
great many years and farmers are
justly discouraged.
Cereals and Grasses: Corn on the
ridges dry, on creek bottoms still
green enough to be benefited by a
good rain. Very little corn on hill
land, crop almost burned up. Corn
on bottom land also suffered greatly
but is in pretty fair shape YETI the
crop generally is ripening and
farmers are busy cutting fodder.
Under the influence of the dry
weather during the past two weeks
buckwheat has deteriorated greatly
and is not filling well; some ripen-
ing. Pastures dry and about done
for but may be revived slightly by
the rain that is falling to-day. Some
fall wheat being sowed.
Vegetables: Turnips that early
in the season were very promising
suffered much injury by reason of
the drouth. Cabbage variable; in
Raleigh county said to be excellent,
in Roane county light and worm
eaten. Where ON low land cabbage,
potatoes and tomatoes are still do
ing fairly we'll. Potatoes are gen
orally a light crop. Gardens fair
where the drouth has not been too
severe.
Fruits: In Doddridge county the
''f1at head borer' is injuring young
orchards by drilling the trees at the
surface. Very few apples. In this
locality-meaning the immediate vi
cinity of Parkersburg-there is ar
immense and excellent crop of wat
ermelcns and canteloupes. Grapes
ripening and are generally-a good
crop with but few exceptions, il
some counties the season is wei
along.
| Miscellaneous: Heavy yield 0
chestnuts, also good crop of mast
I Sorghum crop light. Very it'll

and work in this connection has beef

past two weeks, ground is as rul

A FATAL RUNAWAY.
Down the Mountain Side Near Fair.
chancellor lRogers Instantly
Killed.

An accident occurred near VOLTS
Rock above FMrchance on Wednes-
day evening in which John Rogers
was instantly killed and Bayard
Abel was seriously injured. The
two men, who were brothers-in-l law,
went over the mountain Wednesday
to prospect for fire clay. After they
had started, Rogers came back home
after some powder they had forgot
ten. Mrs. Rogers tried to dissuade
him from going after he had turned
back, fearing some i'll luck would
happen him. The men went on over
the mountain and succeeded in find
ing a good bed of fire clay, sack
full Of which they were bringing
home with them in the buggy.
Coming down this side the noun
tain, when near VOLTS Rock, the
horse, which Yves livery animal,
and had been known to run off be-
fore, began to kick and run. Abel
was knocked out of the buggy and
rendered unconscious, while Rogers
held to the lines. When Abel re-
covered sufficiently to walk, he came
on down the mountain and soon
round Rogers lying dead in the road.
His skull was crushed aud his body
badly bruised. Rogers was 4 miner

The Real Old Stuff.

The boys had all heard of the real
old "stuff' that was thick as oil but
never struck it until the other day.
The Uniontown Standard says.
Steward Speer of the county home
set 'em up to some Morgantown
sports Thursday night but it was
not his intention to do so. The bev-
erage used was castor oil Mr.Speer
purchased quart of castor oil at
one of the drug stores and had it put
up in square quart bottle.
While standing in the crowd Nor
gantown man thinking it contained
set 'em up stuff took it unto himself.
He had swallowed a large sized drink
of it before he discovered the mis-
take. He had lots of fun calling his
comrades into the dark alleys and
giving them drink. He fooled lots
of them.

More Water for Morgantown,

Manager Grant will arrange TO add
to the water supply of Morgantown
to meet any contingency that may
arise. The new supply will come
from a number of wells that are to
be bored about two miles south of
town that will supply great guam
tity of water of splendid quality.
That with the supply of mountain
water will certainly be enough to
meet all legitimate demands and
make liberal allowance for waste.

WON BY PROXY.
THE GAME OF BALL AT UNI0NT0WN
A Gambling Scheme Engineered by Sports

Who Recalled the Money They Had
Staked With so Much Bluster Leav-
ing Only the Forfeit to be Contest
ed fora Babyish Matter Through
out.
The men who were hired to play
the game of ball for the Fairmont
team at Uniontown won the game.
1t was a sell out clear and plain.
for weeks the sports of that town
carried on great game of bluff and
wanted to bet sums from $4,000 to
any amount on the result, and put
up forfeit of 20 per cent When
time was called the big hacker of
Fairmont squealed. He objected to
the players because they were not
from Morgantown, it never occur
ring to him that not a single man
playing for Fairmont was from that
place. The team was made up of
the flower of Oil City and other
cities of Pennsylvania. In it's re-
port of the game the News Standard
says:
The kick continued nearly an hour.
The matter was finally compromised
Swisher agreed to let the Oil City
men play on condition that the 81 600
bet be withdrawn. The Morgan
town people accepted these terms
and the game was played without
any stake. A few minutes before
three o'clock Umpire John D. Carr,
Jr.. called the game and Fairmont
went to the bat. Fitzsimmons, the
first man up, smashed out home
run. F. Barr, McGill, Hagan and
W. Barr also cracked out hits which
netted them three more runs. Fair
mont added one more in the second.
They did not make any more runs
until the fifth when they piled up
four more. This performance was
repeated in the seventh and ninth.
They were hlanked in the sixth and
and eighth. Morgantown didn't
score until the third inning, when
they pushed four men over the home
plate. Two more in the fourth in
ming gave them a lead of one, then
there was pandemonium for few
minutes. Up to that time the Fair
mont people had followed themselves
horse, but when Morgantown forged
ahead and got lead of one score
the Fairmont sports grew sad aud
sullen and began to feel in their
pockets for their return tickets.
Morgantown people are loyal to the
core, and when their team got ahead
they made the welkin ring. Hats,
canes and umbrellas were thrown
into the air. The tune was changed
in the next inning wnen Fairmont
again took the lead. Morgantown
never got in sight of them again.
The game abcunded in some heavy
hitting and at shines brilliant field
ing.

Cass District Democrats Attention.

Wien the meeting was held to ap-
point delegates to the several CON
ventions it seemed to be understood
in Cass district that the county con-
vention was to be mass conven-
ton and no delegates were appointed
from that district. 1t will be mass
convention in II certain sense mas
much as all democrats who attend
are authorized to act as delegates.
so every democrat in Cass district
should attend and take his neighbor
with him. 1t will be representa-
tive gathering of the democracy of
the county, and should be a mem
orable one.
