Railroads are Not Enemies.

The old feeling that anything you
can get out Of a railroad company is
so much GAIN" is dying out and peo-
Pile are learning that the railroads are
the best friends any community can
have. In years gone by it has been
the custom to bring suit against the
railroad company on every occasion
where suit would stand, no matter
how trivial the amount involved, and
it is a old saying that 'sno jury ever
returned verdict in favor OF the
company" 1t is hard to convince the
average jury that there is any merit
in any defense corporation may pre-
sent, and because of this well-known
and well grounded feeling, it has been
the policy of the railroads to compro-
mise every action possible.
1t is not our purpose to take up
the cause of the railroads as against
the people, only so far as justice and
mutual interest goes, but The News
believes that the change Of sentiment
which is rapidly coming, giving the
railroads the same consideration and
the same chance that is accorded
private individuals will be beneficial
to the people and to the country, as
well as to the corporations.
No community can thrive without
railroad facilities, and the greater these
facilities, the better the opportunities
for thrift. Every town may be ben
Gifted by cultivating the acquaintance
of the railroad people, and getting
them interested in the local progress.
This is not difficult matter, for
the railroad men know that whatever
goes to build up the towns on their
lines, helps their company also, and
in nearly every instance are ready and
willing to do more than their share
in cooperation with the people. They
should be known personally by the
business men of the different towns,
for personal acquaintance has much
to do with fostering good feeling.
The ambition of the towns in the
way of public Improvements should
be made known to them, and in nine
cases out OF ten the railroads will aid
and encourage the people.
In short, the railroads and the
communities should get closer togeth-
er, and work for mutual good, rather
than along the old lines of antagon-
ism.

MRS. JOHNSON HURT.
Fell Fourteen Feet and was Badly
Injured.

FAIRMoNT, Aug. 30.-The report
published in regard to Rev. n. B.
Johnson being injured was incorrect
inasmuch as it was Mrs. Johnson and
not the pastor of the Methodist
church who was injured.
They were visiting about three
miles from Philippi and were sleeping
in an upstairs room with their daugh-
ter Miss Mary just across the hall.
The young lady was taken i'll dur
ing the night and called for Mrs.
Johnson who got up when only half
awake and instead of the door of her
daughters bed room she opened d
door connecting with the open air.
There was no porch and she fell Ia
feet, bruising her side and, it is feared
causing internal injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson will remain
there several days and will return
some time next week if she is able.

Leg Broken.

Little Will Smith son OF Painter
George Smith had his leg broken
yesterday in a peculiar manner. He
is seven years old and was carrying
water for some horses. The bucket
was very heavy one and while the
boy was standing on some plowed
land the weight of it caused him to
fall. In falling he twisted around
and the fall broke his leg near the
hip.
Drs Wade and Kelly were called
and set the limb. The accident was
a painful one and it was necessary
to give the little fellow morphine
before the limb could be set.

chine has Triumphed- What Pitxer
Thinks Of the Outlook In the District.
Morgantown People who will be
There.
A number of the Republican faith
full left here to day for Keyser where
they will meet with the district con-
yention which assemblies there to-
morrow. Among those who went
from here were Dr. Fitch, K. M.
Grant, Fuller Glasscock, /. G. Lag
zelle, Judge Berkshire, John Gregg,
George Breakiron, Altha Warman
and +. b. Stewart
Everything points to the nomina-
ton OF Dayton on the first ballot al
though the name of Pitzer will go
before the convention and perhaps
there are others who will be sprung
at the last minute. Dayton's friends
claim that he has more than enough
votes pledged TO nominate him and
his opponents can not show very
good evidence that the claim il d
bad one.
Mr. Sturgiss has withdrawn his
name from the canvass and it will
not be presented to the convention.
However had it gone in he would
have had a very respectable follow
ing which came to him in spite Of
the fact that he had made no effort
to attract it and the other candi-
dates were out beating the bushes
energetically in order to get votes.
Had he been the choice of the
party they would have had much
palmer sailing than the results will
show that they will have. He Is the
strongest man with the voters in his
party in the district but he did not
have the machine at his beck and
call and consequently the voice
of the people who will have to carry
the election was not hear as it
should have been heard.
Pitzer does not publicly admit
that he is defeated but he is still of
the same opinion that he was here
several months ago when he said
that no one who did not have the
support of the machines in the var
ious counties had the slightest show.
He also stated that though Dayton
had smooth Shedding to the nominal
ton he would have a very hard time
in landing the election and the par
ty would run great risk of defeat
this fall. He still thinks this is
true. And he is not alone in his be-
lief.

WAYNESBURG FIRE.
Funk's planning Mill Destroyed on Sat-
urday Morning.

WAYNEsBuRG, Aug. 80. The large
planning mill OF J. ~ Funk was
burned early Saturday morning. The
building and much of the machinery
and lumber were totally destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000,
which is not covered By any insur,
anee
The mill was filled with wood
working machinery, and in the ware
room was stored large quantity of
finished work. The flames were pre-
vented from spreading to the lamber
yards and adjacent property by the
heroic work of the volunteer comra-
ny. The mill hands lost all of their
tool cases. This is the third time
this mill has been destroyed by fire
in 20 years. There was no insurance
carried either on the bull ding or

Looking after ..the Farmers Interests

Director Stewart. of the Experiment
Station, is taking more care to carry
out the provisions of the fertilizer law
to the letter than ever before. A
special agent of the Station has just
started out to make tour wherever
fertilizer is sold From every lot
samples will be taken and they will
be analysed by the Station Chemist
and il not found up to the standard
sheir sale will be prohibited. The
sale of fertilizers to West Virginia
farmers amounts to about 40, 900 tons
per annum and costs about $500, 1000.
In addition to this it is estimated
that 5000, 900 is sold from the manu-
facturers direct to the farmer and
does not come under the Jurisdiction
OF the station. 1t will thus be seen
what an important item this is and
how necessary that every precaution
be taken.

WHY IS THIS THUS?
A Big Kick Over the Street
Paving is Brewing.

People do not Know Who is to Blame
in the Face of the Contradictory
Claims that are Being made-What
They do Know is That the Work is
Going on Entirely too Slow-Council
has Wrestle With the Problem but
DO not Decide Anything Engineer
Says that Everything is all Right IL
the Obstacles that Have been Over
come are taken into Account-An In
yestigation May be In Order.
Council held meeting last night
and the matter of the delay in the
street paving was taken up. There
has been a great deal of complaint
about the lack of progress that has
been made in getting the brick in its
place. People see that the work is
not going on as fast as it should.
They are told that there has been a
great deal of trouble met by the
contractors and that they have done
all that could be done The coun=
ell knows that the work is not going
on as it should and they are getting
restless.
They have from the start done ev-
erything that they could to hustle it
up and have met every demand of
the contractors on them and have
supplied every want. At the same
time they do not know what is the
matter and the meeting last night
was devoted to a discussion of the
affair.
Nothing definite was done. The
council was assured by the engi-
neer that the contractor was doing
all that could be done and that in
a few days the work would be in such
shape that it could be rushed. The
council has accepted this statement
and the contractor has been given
further time.
The people are very RESTLESS and
all over town there is mutterings
and discomfort. It may be on ac-
count of the discomfort in not know
ing how fast the work should go in
the face of the opposition that has
been met. But they don't know that
unless there is radical change made
at once that we will have mud again
next winter And we have put up
all our money to prevent such a ca
tastrophe.
Somebody is to blame. Who that
is should be discovered and RENE
dy applied. We can't afford to have
our streets in the condition that
they were last winter. Every con-
sideration urges punching up pro-
cess and that at once.

Fairmont will have free delivery on

The office has been running up rap
idly and has not checked its progress.
The people are doing more business
here all the time and the business to
be done grows greater and greater
every month. This being true the
office has increased it's receipts right
along for some years. Few offices in
the country have shown more rapid
or substantial growth than this. All
these things being true we know that
before very long we too shall havs
