WHAT II GETS.
The appropriation bill as passed
by the legislature.

copy has been received here-The
University and the yarious items II
gets-ifs total income will be very
much larger than it has ever been be-
fore-Large power to expand and be-
yond its present scepe-where the
money is to go.
A copy of the appropriation bill as
it passed has been received here and
some of the items are rather interest
ing because OF their local flavor. The
total appropriated by the state for its
various institutions and other con-
sumers Of money is more than two
million dollars. This is the largest
ever set aside for that purpose but
the state is growing aud its needs are
constantly becoming greater
The University is the only thing of
very great interest here. The appro-
priations for it are OF course known to
be much larger than they have ever
been before and the several items go
to m AXE up very comfortable aggre-
gate.
The different items are as follows:

which Mr.. Frank Cox has recently
built his handsome residence, re-
turned to Eastern Virginia, became
a Judge, frequently came out TO
Morgantown to hold court, and was
a judge of the Supreme Court of
Virginia for nearly forty years, dy-
ing aged about 80 years. John set

of his gallantry, Fort Frank
Brooke, in Taylor County, Florida,
was named which must not be con-
founded with s'Fort Frank Brooke"
at the head of Tampa Bay, which
was named in honor of General
George Mercer Brooke
YOU say that Tucker county was
named in honor of the Clerk of the
House of Delegates. Here again you
are wrong. Tucker county was named
in honor of Judge Henry st. George
Tucker, and not in honor of his son,
the Clerk of the House of Delegates.
The true account of the naming of
the county is as follows. A committee
Of the Legislature of 1867 reported
., hill FOR araotipr n xavu capnfu ont re
the territory of Randolph. st. George
Tucker, Clerk of the House, was read
ing the bill in front of the Speakers
chair, the name of the county had been
left blank, and also the name of the
county seat. Mr.. John Brannon (af-
forwards Judge Brannon) says that
probably the fact that Mr.. st. George
Tucker was reading the bill suggested
to him the idea OF filling in the blank
for the name Of the county with the
word Trucker" in honor Of that emf
nent jurist, Judge Henry st. George
Tucker, and the blank for the name
of the county seat with the name St.
George, in honor Of the Clerk of the
House. Accordingly, he made mo-
lions to that effect, and they were
carried. Judge Henry st. George
Tucker frequently came from Win
chester to Morgantown to hold court,
as his father before him, Judge st.
George Tucker had come for the same
purpose, (by horsefesh) from Williams
burg to Morgantown, round trip $50
miles. The signatures of all these
judges may be seen signed to the Or
ders in an old Common Law Order
Book" in the Clerks Office at Nor
gantown.
Very truly,
ST. GEORGE T. BROOKE.

by the w. G. T. U. to be presented
to the board praying that the child

In this they are backed by many
of the people who have given ths

at the next meeting OF the board
when the matter will be taken up.
The petition is as follows:
To the Board of Education of the
Morgantown School District:
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Morgantown, W. Va,
respectfully represents that it is in
formed that by an Act of the Legis-
lature passed at the session just
closed, Boards of Education are au-
thorized to establish kindergarten
instruction in connection with the
usual courses of instruction hereto
fore authorized by law, and the
members of this Union are profound
ly impressed with the wisdom and
Importance of creating such a de-
partment of instruction as part OF
the public Schools of Morgantown
at the earliest date, and that condi-
tions existing In this community
make it clear that such a depart
ment would be largely attended
from the very beginning and would
give much needed instruction to
children too young to appreciate the
studies of the usual classes and yet
old enough to be greatly profited by
the kindergarten method Of instruc.
ton; Therefore the members of this
Union respectfully ask that you will
cause Kindergarten schools or de-
partments of instruction to be es-
tablished and opened as part of
the public school of the District un-
der your control by the first of
April, 1899. when the new public
school building will be opened for
use by the schools Of the Morgan
town District.

We Worship Money.

Bishop Potter OF New York in a
lenten sermon the other evening said
"Greed for gain is the fault of our
nation. Our soldiers in camp, our
men in business, our very women are
ruled by cupidity. The national stan
dard is the dollar mark. In every
country but ours there are other
rewards than money for great deeds
of soldiers, inventors, scholars and
artists The inventor of great can
on was elevated from his position as
iron worker to barony. A man dis
covers star, facts about the deep sea,
an antiseptic dressing for wounds, and
he is made peer. In our country
the astronomer, the soldier, the in
ventor reaps dollars. Money is be-
coming our divinity"

The complaints about the difficulty
OF securing the textbooks adopted by
the legislature in 1895, in counties
where there are no repositories. have
become so frequent that deem it adj
visable TO say that the Attorney Gen.
eral has given it as his opinion that
inasmuch as that section of the Text
book law Of 1895 which relates to de-
pOsitories is inconsistent with the
same section of the Text book law Of
1897, it is repealed thereby. Conse-
quently all books contracted for by
the State Superintendent of Free
schools, under authority Of the Act
of 1895, may be sold by dealers. in
general. under the same conditions as
govern in the case of the books adopt
ed by the County school book boards
in 1897; and that dealers may add, as
profit, the per cent fixed by the Coun-
ty school book board, which profit,
according to law, shall noti exceed
twenty-five per cent on the net con-
tract price.
