ADVANCE ON THE OPENING

New York, October 12.-Today the cotton market was an cratic affair Throughout,
 with the bull and bear faction in control
 by turns. On the opening of the call buy
 ing orders held over from yesterday and a
 small movement at the ports brought an
 advance of points on the near months,
 while the distant months developed weak
 ness and dropped 1qS points. Reports or
 weakness in Liverpool during the first hour
 brought in a much lower level of prices, active liquidation of investment and pro- fessional holdings being feature.
 Shortly after midday there was a sudden
 uphft on a rush to cover by shorts, started
 by predictions that tomorrow's receipts
 would be exceedingly light; but the better feeling soon petered out and once more
 prices turned downward, dropping 8 points in about as many minutes. Wall street, New Orleans and Europe sold freely. American spinners were the buyers. Early in the session a well-known Philadelphia firm purchased several large lots of Au- gust delivery.
 The market closed steady at about the lowest point of the day at a net loss of 10 to 13 points,

WASHINGTON COUNTY MANS LOSS.
Z. Il. Carothers Well Known Dairy
man Loses Valuable Herd Of Hol-
stein Cows.

Mr.. c. D. Carothers is dairyman
of Washington county, Pa, who has
been shiL ping vast quantities of
milk to the Pittsburg market and
who owned valuable herd of reg
istered Holstein cattle. A few days
ago under the direction of the state
veterinarian, DIR. Waugh, Of Pitts
burg made an examination of the
herd and found As of them affected
with tuberculosis. DR.. Waugh made
an exhaustive report to the state
board closing it with the following
paragraphs which we clip from the
Canonsburg Notes:
"This herd Of cattle for several
years has averaged about so head,
nearly all of which are registered
Holsteins and are fine bred lot of
cattle and in good condition.
From Mr. Carothers we learn that
the production of milk from this
herd of cattle has been enormous
For the last five years they have
produced 100000 gallons of milk, or
an average of 10000 gallons per year
from this one dairy alone. Some
idea may be derived of this industry
in this valley and the revenue dc
rived from it by the railroad com
pany, this one farm paying nearly
$500 per year freight or baggage on
milk.
We join with the friends of Ed in
this vicinity and in the ceunly over
his loss financially and the annoy
ance connected with this develop
ment of tuberculosis among his
dairy herd.
The condemned cattle will be ship
ped to Herr's Island near Pittsburg,
and killed for fertilizer purposes.
Mr. Carothers will obtain about hall
price for the animals. Doctors gay
the milk from these cattle is not nee
essarily disease breeding

A NEW POSITION.
Major James M. Lee Will Take
Charge of a New School.
viii be Head Of The Military Depart
ment Of The Pittsburg Academy
Makes Vacancy In the Board Of
Regests win Serve Through
June Term-Work OF The Academy

June Teamwork OF The Academy.
The following interesting article is
taken from the Pittsburg Dispatch OF
Sunday. Major Lee has been here in
attendance on the meeting OF the
board OF regents of the University and
went from here to Plttshurg. The
result of his trip there will be vacan-
on the board which will have to he
filled before long. 1t is not known
when his resignation will be rendered
the governor. The article in question
is as follows:
The Pittsburg Academy is another
leading educational Institution. J..
Warren Lytle, the President, said to
The Dispatch representative yesterday
that new feature is about To be
added to the academy work. A mill
tary department is to be introduced,
and work will positively be started
next fall. President Lytle has engag
ed Major James NJ. Lee, me of the
leading military instructors of the
country, to take charge of this depart
ment. Major Lee has been for some
time conducting a military school OF
| his own.
He has been in Pittsburg the past
week comforting with President Lyle,
and the two reached an agreement as
to the system to be introduced. The
male students OF the academy are
greatly enthused over the outlook,
and it is believed that fully 200 will
enter this new department.
President Lytle believes in discip-
line in everything, and the academy
is conducted strictly on that basis.
For this reason he is particularly anx-
ious to introduce military discipline.
II like soldierly bearing said he,
sand we want our boys to be manly
and graceful in department., and we
propose that they shall have the best
advantages offered
This will be the first school in Pitts
burg to adopt military department.
UNIFORM AND ARMS.
President Lyle has under consider
alton the adoption of a uniform and
arms. He said yesterday that in all
probability the West Point uniform
and arms would be selected. Mr..
Lytle is as much enthused over the
new project as are the students. He
said the faculty members were all in
hearty favor of it and were anxious tC
get it started as early as possible.
The new instructor will be here Sep
TENDER 1st to begin his work. Presi-
dent Lytle is DESTROYS Of making the
academy the leading institution in
military training as it is ip everything
else. There are now nearly SOC
students in school, and big increase
is expected next year.

A POET LAUREATE.
Learning by Doing pays High
Tribute to Mr.. Barbe.

Western Paper pays him Several well
Meriied Compliments-re Of His
first Work Speaks very Well Of the
Lasting Quality of his Verses and
Gives Number of Selections from his
Writings.
| In the last issue of Learning qy
| Doing" there appeared very compli-
mentary article written about Mr..
Watman Barbe Of Morgantown. He
is hailed as the poet laureate of the
| state. The article in question Is as
! follows:
! West Virginia is happy in beiLg
the home of a poet whose genius is
too evident for his fame to be bound
ed by state lines. 1t was in 1913 that
the Lippincotts brought out modest
little book of poems, called "Ashes
and Incense" by Waitman Barbe, an
unknown young newspaper man OF
Parkersburg, West Virginia. This
work at once drew the attention and
favor of those who know the qualities
Of lasting poetry. Such high author
titles as the London (Eng) Saturday
Review, Edmund Clarence Stedman,
the New York Independent, the st.
Louis Republic the Boston Home
Journal, Lippincott's Magazine, the
Boston Congregationalist, the New
York Christian Advocate, and many
Others, praised it with enthusiasm,
and complimentary letters came to the
young poet from eminent authors
everywhere.
Like James Whtcomb Riley, Mr..
Barbe got his initiatory literary train
ing in newspaper Office. A univer-
sity education Che is a graduate of the
University of West Virginia) supplied
that quality of scholarship that is
evident in all his work, and his poets
equipment is completed by an intense
love for and appreciation of the finer
poetic aspects of nature and human
life. His verse has that brave virile
swing, that marks the poetry of Low
ell, and the never failing nature-love
that belongs pre-eminently to Bryant.
A fine quality of Mr.. Barbe's verse is
its simple directness. There is none
of that subtle legerdemain of phrasing
that SO often makes poetry reading a
serious task Mr. Barbe never indul-
ges 10 poetical puzzles. "He who
runs may read" and enjoy as well.
Our West Virginia laureate, like
Madison Cawein, is yet a young man,
and full of literary promise. Thus
far he has produced but little but
that little is good Mr. Barbc is ex-
ceptionally conscientious as to the
quality of what he gives to the world
as poetry. He is no prolific maker of
rhymes that deserve the waste basket.
He is his own most censorous critic.
The teacher readers of LEARNING
BY DOING will be interested to know
that Mr. Barbe is an educator as well
as poet; he has been for several
years member of the faculty of the
West Virginia University, and now
| fills the responsible position Of assist
ant to the president. Besides his
poetical work he has made marked
hit with book of short stories en-
titled '1n the Virginias. He is at
present engaged upon an educational
work to be called s'Going to College, !"
and which will be brought out in a
short time.
The poet was married in 1894 to
| Miss Clara Louise Gould, of Parkers-
burg They reside at MorgantOwn,
where Mr.. Barbe deyotes himself
chiefly to the interests of the Univer-
sity.

ODDS AND ENDS.
Some Comments on What the
Regents did Last Week.

The Price to be Paid for the Meeks
Farm Nearly Sixty Dollars an Acre
Several acres Reserged-- Promo
lions ip the Faculty and Salaries In
creased-AIsjor James NJ. Lee and
his Position Other Notes.
Mr.. Sturgiss, President OF the
board of regents was seen on Mon
day morning and asked about the
odds and ends of the work done by
the board at their recent meeting.
He stated that about all that had
been done had been published as far
as he could remember.
In reply to a question regarding
the price paid for the Meeks farm
he stated that the price for the
whole farm Of one hundred and ten
acres was six thousand dollars. II
was proposed at first to reserve nine
acres and later this amount was in
creased to nineteen acres. This will
be computed at the rate paid per
acre for the whole farm and the
amount deducted from the total price
paid.
This part of the farm is the east
ern end and it will be surveyed as
soon as Director Stewart returns
from the southern end of the state
where he is at present on business
The coal is reserved The surveys
will be made by the engineer of the
| University.
The resignation Of Regent Lee is
not expected until after the june
meeting. He will lie here and take
part in that meeting and will not take
charge of his new position in Pitts
burg until the first of October. An
other appointment will likely be
made then by the governor to fill the
vacancy
DR.. Sanders viii! embark" for his
new position in New Mexico about
the first of October He will become
full professor on Jul, first without
extra compensation This promo
ton was given him by the board in
accordance with the regular rules in
regard to promotions.
OF the other assistants promoted
to full profess rships, Fast is the
only one to begin to draw salary be
fore the first OF July. His increase
began on the first of the present
month This was done for several
reasons. He is now com nandant Of
cadets and has great deal OF work
| to do.

Heavy Fines BY Judge Farr.

The Tyler County grand jury has
returned 300 indictments, of which
90 per cent are against Sistersville
people.
Judge FAIR has caused much un-
easiness among liquor sellers by stat
ing that their fines would not be less
than $50 in each case. James Nc
Farland was fined $50 in each of
twelve cases.
Numerous witnesses have written
to Judge Farr that they have been
prevented from testifying before the
grand jury by threats of violence to
themselves or their property. The
judge proposes to probe these charges
to the bottom.

A GOOD MOVE.
Old Experiment Farm is Unsuited and
the New Farm is the Better one in
Every Respect.


the New Farm is the Better one IL
Every Respect.
One of the most important or.
ders of the board of regents at this
session was the sale OF the old ex
pertinent station farm which was
never suited for experimental pur
poses to Cal. r. }. Gilmore at q
price of $4,000. This is in the
neighborhood of one thousand dol
lars in advance of the price at which
it was purchased by the board some
few years ago.
The increased price is largely
due to the improved condition Of
the farm brought about by Director
Stewards care and oversight.
The purchase of the land owned
by Messrs Meeks and Chadwick on
the Morgantown and Ices Ferry
turn pike was made at very salts
factory price and conditions. The
new Experiment Station farm is in
ever, respect superior to the old
one for experimental purposes and
is so much better located that il
will always be source of pride tc
the station and constant evidence
of the diligence and capacity Of the
present Director Of the station wht
is ever careful OF the best interests
of the station and the agricultural
interests of the state
