NOT A TRUE BILL
Was the Alleged Utterance of DIR.
Ward at the University.

MoRGANrowN. w. VA, Aug, 10.
TO the Editor of the Herald.
The last issue of the Berkeley DEM
ocrat contained a statement that one
of the lecturers at the University on
sociology in recent lecture on mar
rage had expressed a contempt for
the marital relation and had declared
the Bible to be an exploded myth.
The lecturer in question is DR.. Les
ter +. Ward. OF Washington, one Of
the most eminent sociologists in the
world. His position in the scientific
world could not possibly be affected
by such statements as that contained
in the Democrat, no matter in how
many papers of the State it should be
published but inasmuch as President
Raymond is beld responsible for the
lecturers he has secured for the sum-
mer course at the University, and in
asmuch as such a statement as the
above would, if permitted to go un-
corrected ipjure the University,
desire to sag that the statement is un-
true in every particular. 1t was fur
nished to the press of the State by
malicious mischief. makers whose aim
was to bring into disrepute the adj
ministration of President Raymond.
1t is known who these persons are
and it is a matter Of wonderment that
the press will publish such things as
the above mentioned upon their au-
thority.
A few months ago the Democrat
published another statement to the
effect that President Raymond was
running the University as feeder to
the Chicago University. ! believe the
editor was led into this mis.statement
by enemies of the institution. Since
President Raymond's election there
has not been single professor elected
who at the time of his election was
connected in any way with the Chica-
go University. Only one of them OBJ
tanned a degree from that institution
and he has also degrees from Harvard
and Columbia Universities.
Yours, very truly,
EDGAR STEWART.

The Democratic plan Of campaign
in this State this year, or more par
ticularly in this District is to make
an effort to elect John T. McGraw to
Congress in consideration of which
he is to cease his opposition to Sena-
tor Faulkner. To put it briefly, the
Senator and McGraw have made up;
the war which has been raging is at
an end

The talk OF nominating Ex-senator
Henry G. Davis for Congress in this
District was buncomb, pure and SIM
pie. No one seriously entertained
any such idea. The Pops are very
anxious to get him safely in the fold
for the purpose Of fleeing him, but
that is all the use they have for him.
He has been much too independent
to suit the Bourbon nation.

Local Board of Health Notice.

To the citizens of Martinsburg and
Berkeley county:
Whereas, The presence of typhoid
and malaria fevers in this city and
county, and remote possibility OF the
importation of yellow fever renders it
extremely important that every effort
should be made by our citizens to place
our city in the very best sanitary con-
dition. To do this effectively all rub
Dish, filth and decayed vegetable mat
ter should be removed from streets,
alleys and cellars. The latter if dam
should be liued and white washed, all
INSTRUCTED drains and cutters opened
and lined. The rank growth of weeds
in unfrequented corners pulled up or
mown and removed, hog pens, privy
vaults, hen coops, etc, kept well
cleaned, lined and disinfected.
The corporate authorities should
suffer no violation of the ordinances
relative to throwing impure and un-
wholesome matter into the streets and
cutters. Attention to the above by
the whole people will obviate the ne
cessity of a house infection and will
make it next to impossible for any
filth disease to get a foothold. 1t is
hoped that a prompt aud willing COM
pliance by our citizens will follow the
publication of this notice.

Teachers Certificates and Contracts
Need Not be Stamped.
CHARLESTON, Aug. s

CHARLESTON, Aug. 8, 1898.
To the Editor of the Herald:
In answer to my question, whether,
under the Revenue Act of June IS,
1893, teachers certificates must nave
an Internal Revenue stamp affixed,
Hon. A. b. White, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, has forwarded the fol-
lowing opinion, given by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue:
LAS a part of the regulations
adopted by the State in connection
with its public schools, these Ger,
tifcates are held to be for govern
mental purposes rather than for pri-
vate use; and, therefore, not subject
to stamp tax under the Revenue
Act Of June -. 1898.
| would add that iuasmuch as
teachers contracts are also "a part oil
the regulations adopted by the State
in connection with its public schools, -
it is evident that they are not subject
to a stamp tax.
Sincerely yours,
J. r. TRoTTER.

It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure hiu- self right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constips- tion, headache, fainting spells, sleep lessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, mild laxative, and re- stores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only soc bottle at II. c. Hitchcock's drug store.
