IS III BEsT2

We have heretofore referred to the
bill now before the Legislature
amending the charter OF this city and
providing for taking vote on the
question of issuing bonds for the pur-
pose Of erecting or purchasing an
electric light plant. We have also in
timated that the Herald is opposed to
the city engaging in the electric light
business. 1t was hoped some of our
contemporaries had opinions on the
subject and that they would expires s
themselves. but it appears they are
utterly ignorant of the whole pro-
ceeding, therefore the task devolves
upon us, and as usual, when matters
OF moment are presented, we are able
to state the reasons for the faith that
is in us.
This city now has good and suf-
ficient plant, owned and operated by
our own people. 1t is not mine Of
wealth, but the proprietors hope, with
the growth Of the city, to make some
money out Of it. They have not done
so as yet. To establish anotherplan
in part with the money Of these men
and thus divide the business means
financial failure Of one or the other
Another and more important mat
ter is the expense to the city, provided
the project should win. At present
the city is paying about $500 per
month for electric lights. 1t isclaim-
ed there are too few arc lights, that
there should be at least 90 toproperly
light the city. The company is will
ing to put in that number for S42o
per month.
Now let us take note Of the cost of
operating the proposed plant. 1t is
estimated that it will cost about $2o,
600. At per cent the interest ac-
count would be 500 per month an
engineer and electrician, one man
filling both positions, will be at least
$500 per month lineman, $50; trim
mer, $40; fireman, $25 ineidentals,
$40, and fuel, $50; total, $5o5 per
month--$85 per month or 5000 a
year more than the company asks for
the proposed service. In the above
estimate there is nothing included for
contingencies or wear and tear OF
plant. 1t seems to us that the old
adage, 'I.et we'll enough alone, ]"
should find lodgmentin the craniums
of the city council.

prof. BIakemore Resigns.

There was considerable excitement
in educational circles the first Of this
week when it became known that
Prof. +. v. Blakemore had resigned
his position as teacher of the second
room Of the High School. Thereasons
given by him in his written commun-
ication to the Board of Education were
that the Board had not given him the
salary he expected, or rather, as he
expressed it, the salary the Board
promised him; also that certain Of his
pupils had circulated false reports af-
fecting his conduct in the school
room.
In the matter of salary the Board
pleads not guilty, and on the con-
trary AYERS that he was paid SIS. 90
per month more than his predecessor
more than he had right to expect
as he was cognizant OF the salary paid
when he became an applicant.
The second count appears to have
grown from two causes: The read
ing OF certain passages from the Bi-
BILE which some think should have
been omitted, for example, the ac-
count given of the conversation be-
tween Jesus and Nicodemus. The
other as to his manner of teaching
physiology, it being claimed that he
was too explicit.
In his letter to the Board he states
that he Intercepted his pupils and
that they all, with the exception of
two, who were not called upon, ex-
pressed their willingness to testify on
honor or under oath that he had not
said or done anything improper.
Whatever the cause of his sudden
departure, Mr.. Blakemore left the
city Saturday and there is now a va
cancy which must be filled. The
Board held special meeting Tuesday
evening but arrived at no conclusion.
An executive session will be held this
evening at which time teacher will
be appointed, Miss Wilson agreeing
in the meantime to take charge of
the pupils of that room for the week
1t was thought by the Board that it
might be possible to so arrange af-
fairs as to dispense with a teacher
during the remainder OF the term, but
it was found to be impracticable.
1t may not be amiss to state that
Mr. Blakemore did not this year teach
physiology, also that the Board is Of
opinion that they were not treated
with proper courtesy. He left with
out notifying them of his intention to
resign, dlscommoding other teachers
and all of his pupils.

STAND FIRM.

lust now is the one time when every
citizen OF Martinsburg and vicinity
should keep cool. The failure of the
Auburn Wagon Company need not
frighten anyone. If losses are in
Cured they will be SO distributed as
to do but slight injury. Our banks
are all right. The Improvement, Loan
and Building Association will be all
right provided shareholders do not get
frightened. The Association is amply
secured. There can be no loss on
that account. Other manufacturing
establishments are prospecting. Our
little setback should not dismay any
one. OF course croakers will be heard,
as it is now about frog time, but they
are absolutely harmless. Stand firm
for your city and county and all they
contain and all will be we'll.

Important to Farmers.

The following letter from Hon. AL
ston G. Dayton explains itself:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. S.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 10, 1897.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Will you kindly say that l have
sent to the Agricultural Department
about all the names and addresses
that knew or could get hold of in
your county for garden seeds to be
sent to. / still have a number of
packages left to my credit and some
who would be glad to receive such
seeds may not receive the same be-
cause of my not remembering their
name and address. The seeds will
doubtless be sent out in two or three
weeks time, and if any who do not in
that time receive them will write me,
l will be glad to supply them as long
as my quota holds out.
Very truly yours,
ALsTON G.. DAYTON.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.

There was not much surprise when
it became known this week that the
Auburn Wagon Company had failed.
When the removal was made to this
city from Greencastle, Pa, it was
understood they were embarrassed,
but it was hoped with additional
facilities for manufacture and ship
ment they would be able to recuper-
ate. Unfortunately these hopes were
not realized and this week, on the
motion of the Improvement, Loan
and Building Association Judge
Daley appointed a receiver in the
person of Mr.. P. r. Harrison.
Just what the outcome will be is as
yet unknown. The company has
good trade and stands we'll through
out the South where the bulk of its
product is sold. Report is that liabil-
tiles are $I2o, 600, while the assets
are estimated at 500, 900 to $7o, 900.
1t is possible that the assets may be
considerably increased as there is a
large amount of unfinished work on
hand which can soon be placed upon
the market, AS numerous inquiries
and orders are being received daily,
it is hoped sales may be readily made.

In another column is an editorial

in its criticism of the unwarranted

that the moral tone of Congress was
never SO high as now AS proof of
that fact the sale of intoxicants with

been put under ban, which we Ven
