Over at Rowlesburg last Satur.
day, Fairmont lost another game
by score of 2 to 4, in favor of
Rowlesburg. We have received no
other report of the game.
Rowles5urg comes to Kingwood
Saturday next, to play a big match
game with Kingwood. The rail.
road has granted reduced rates and
will run a special train from here at
5 p. m. to take the crowd back.
n Here is a good picture of Col.
- Bob Hollis, the manager Of
WAthe ROwlesburg Club.
~ The game will be called at
GN 2 p. m. sharp, and will be red
q hot from start to finish, and
closely contested. A big crowd is
expected and will likely be the last
big game we will have, so every
body should take IL in.
Here is a picture Of Capt. n
Pat Dawson, who umpires
for Rowlesburg. He vs. n
brother of Newt Dawson. the
Captain and Short Stop OF I'd
the Deltas, and one of the hH

the championship Of Preston coun-

they hold IL hereafter, as King

innings. We had agreed before

for the State Senate. There is not
much show for electIng Democrat,
with about 1000 majority to over
come and there is no stampede OF
candidates, but still we believe in
having a convention and naming q
complete ticket of the best men we
can get anyhow. The Senatorial
Committee for this district is com
posed as follows: For Preston coun
ty, Col. VIM. j. Lavelle; for Tay-
Tor, Hon. VIM. r. Dent, OF Graf
ton. and for Mouongalia. John
Alexander, Of Morgantown.
As Preston and Taylor are also
in this Judicial district, and Bar

ties composing the Third Judicial
Circuit, we suggest that the Sena-
torial and Judicial CONVENTIONS
should both be called to convene
on the same day, and at Grafton as
being the most accessible point, and
being located in both districts.
Then one set Of delegates could do
the whole business, and thus save
time and money. This convention
should be called some time IN Sep
tember and on most any day in the
week except Saturday, Sunday or
Monday. so that delegates from all
tho counties could get there in
time and get home Wy next day
anyhow, which they could not do if
tie meeting was called on any of
the above days. AS the Chairmen
OF the Executive Committees i'm the
counties composing both the Sena-
torial and Judicial districts, com
pose the Executive Committees for
said districts, they should get to.
gether or by correspondence agree
on this matter at once and issue

The history of the discovery of anRsthe
sia in this country is tragic one. OF the
three northern physicians who claimed the
chief merit, jackson died insane, Wells
committed suicide, and Morton died as the
result of painful accident. As to the re-
spective claims of these gentlemen, The
Record has in times past expressed its
views Southern physicians, however, have
always asserted prior claims for DIR. c. w.
Long, and lately DIR. Luther b. Grandy Of
Atlanta has brought forward fresh docu-
mentary evidence in favor of this gentle
man.
There is little doubt, judging from the
facts furnished by DIR. Grandy, that DIR.
Long first used ether for allaying pain in
surgery. He did not have opportunity,
however, to test it fully or to carry out full
anesthesia. Credit for this must be given
to his northern confreres. We are quite
sure, however, that DIR. Long deserves the
honor which the state of Georgia proposes
