They Say

The United States will cry out
before the Spaniards.
The people in this country are
suffering.
The United States mas no more
right to interfere with Spain than
any other country has to interfere
with any State that may rebel
against the United States.
Meddling people generally get
hurt.
Be honest when you deal with
people.
What will the United States do
with Spain?
Our American Counsel has been
insulted.
1t takes England to resent an in
suit.
She will do it or destroy the ma
tion.
If YOU want reputation apply
o the marked Congress"
Tho senator from nowhere made
speech some time ago and declared
that he was privileged character.
It makes no difference what you
do, or what your character as repu-
tation may be, you can have certl.
ficate from the marked Congress.
Major Fleetwood gave them all to
understand that he wanted no
"marked Congress" in his fair.
1t is not the man who talks is
the best citizen.
If you want your deeds to shine
you must show your manhood.
Why are some shyster lawyers
like a flee ?
Because they have not brain
enough to stay in one place.
They will also sell out their
brother attorney for a piece OF
''filthy lucre"
If one-third of these shysters
were weeded out, the profession
would be dignifed.
1t is impossible for some negroes
to have dec mt club.
A great number of them make
gambling their object and not the
incident to its success.
A lawyer who is not competent to
draw up a simple act of incorpora-
ton has no business to practice be-
fore the bar.
Making noise and showing your
ignorance is not practlcing law.
There are two colored attorneys
who never have cases in the upper
court.
The last case one had the judge
asked him to define latin phrase
he used, which is as follows ::
"Domuant quod non Intelligent. ="
In reply, this negro attorney said
it meant that dog could under
stand.
The court got disgusted and this
regro attorney has never shown his
head there since. except when he
was summoned there.
The people viii support the regu-
lars.
Boilers should not have any
quarters.
Some of the colored attorneys are
making mark.
Town Talk died last week with a
tongue thrashing from The BEE.
Cuba may be free if Spain will
permit it.
If the United States 60 to war
the Afro ro-Amcricans, of course will
not be good enough to fight.
Perhaps Town Talk will take the
musket.
The Paily Post has taken a rest
on the color line.
Howard Brooks of the Star, who
reports the Police Court news ought
to attend to his paper and not
meddle with other peoples business.
Some people get too smart some
times.
What has become of the days

4 MATTER OF OIL.
Review Of the West Virginia Fields
for September.
NOT SO MUCH WORK STARTED
As was Hoped, hut The Outlook Is fright
at Ons or TNU New Points OF De-
.vriopmcnt 50 sisiersviiie District Leads
III New Work Under Wny-Faith In the
Prospect ofa Higher prIce-t Dry Hole
l%ir0nght In Ia the iIenw0od District.

The oil fields Of this state have not
Shown the activity during The past
month that they DID during August and
there were not nearly 10 many wells
drilled In nor the new work started. The
only reason that can be given for thls Ii
the TACT that the recent advance In the
price or petroleum did not come early
enough In the month to ullOw the new
work started to be Included In the re-
port which has Just been Issued,
Perhaps, another reason why the fields
OF the state do not show mp as well as
they usually do Is because there has
been very little available new territory
that the operators and producers
thought well enough OF 10 put their
money into. The old pools have about
all passed their zenith and the new ones
had no effect on the work Of last month.
II IL confidently expected that during
the present month there will be a nota-
bic Increase In the number OF wells com.
plcted and also Ia the amount Of new
work started for the double reason that
the market Is up high enough to make
the drilling OF wildcat territory Il pny-
Ing venture and alsu because there have
been Il couple OF new pools opened up
that Will likely have considerable bear
Ing IN the matter.
One rrason, and perhaps the most po-
tent one, why there waB n decrease In
the amount " work done In all sections
Of the state during the past month, was
the fact that the price ot oil was down
10 bed rock. When oil gets down TO
Within n few cents OF a dollar the opcru-
tors are OF the opinion that they Will
let well enough alone and not send good
cash after what might be bad by drill
Ing In territory that has not been tested.
During tn" greater part nf September
the price Of crude oil was down to 81 OF
and 81 06. and no oil man will so after
anything outside OF defined limits with
the oleaginous Iluld Mt such a figure. II
Is better u rest on your oars and allow
Il llttl- money to accumulate from the
wells that are producing.
Following Is Il table showing the NUM-
her OF wells completed. the dry holes.

A DRY HOLE DRILLED
by Shay q McNnlisn In the Heuwood
Field In Monroe Comfy.

Field In Monroe County.
Special Dispatch to the ,~IntelIIgencer.
SISTERSvTLL.E W. Va. Oct. 5.-The
well being drilled by Shay & McMulien.
in the territory IN the Vicinity OF the two
good wells recently drilled In by the
Henry and Fisher on Companies near
RcnwoOd postnfice, in Monroe county.
Ohio, has been completed and Is virtual
~ dry, or at lcIst L; looks that way now.
The we'll was completed yesterday and
while Il had q small showing of oil Il did
not come up to expectations IN any way
and the general opinion Is that It will be
a dry hole. The well IS located but n
short distance from n well drilled in
some time ago which vas only making
about four barrels n day. and Il was not
expected TO amount to n grra. deal. al
though there was a chance or Il being n
good producer.
The Indications now are that there
will be considerable work done this fall
ana winter on q line between this city
and the old pool out ON Middle Island
creek. 4 short time ago the Carter OF
Company drilled in a well on the Cavault
farm, a little to the southeast OF this
N''S Nv AH'' t'' ~ lIohut'l tlINl 10 NOW
making about ATTY barrels n day. This
taken in connection with the fact that
several other very fair wells have been
drilled In out In that section has got thu
operators int" the notion that there Is n
continuous streak Of good producing
territory out In that section.
The Fisher OH Company Is also mnk-
Ing mn EFFORT to get some good wells
down in that section and have recently
acquired quite II lot OF what looks to be-
very good territory IN which they will
drill several wells In the near future. lr
Il producing streak Is found down in
that section Will open up II lot OF terri
tory that has been condemned.

OF two audiences was nearly exhausted. and an
already husky and hoarse voice was almost

an effort Of his life. Having his Madison Square

OF manuscripts in his speech. except 10 read alb

his audiences until the end Of his speeches
and kept their attention throughout, except once
twice. when he read from his favorite authori-
ties. Lincoln and Tilden.
Mr. Bryan showed plainly that he has been
working hard since he left New-York City in
August He appeared to be at least ten years
older than the portrait which hung over his
head would indicate. He had great 'iilculty in
keeping his throat clear and his hearers had no
opportunity TO listen to the charms Of voice for
which he has a reputation. The Popocratic can

double bill for the evening His long speech
gave the impression that he was attempting to
atone for his failure al Madison Square by show
