THE declaration OF war by Great
Britain against the Beers, instead
of submitting their claims for GER
tain reforms to arbitration, must be
characterized as the "crime of the
century," President Kruger and
his people should certainly have the
sympathy and moral support Of
every civilized nation, and in the
end the British may find that the
"battle is not always won by the
strong or the race by the swift. :"
Kruger taught them lesson at Ma
tuba Hill in 1880 and it is to be hop
ed he will be able to repeat it again
should the British persevere in their
unjust demands in this unequal
contest for dominion and lust for
gold. We still hope for compro-
mise-that one or the other power
may vield-but at present there
seems to be every indication of war
and the result must be left with the
God Of battles.

Virgins, W. Va, Sept rs.
Yestereen in blasting to continue
the double track of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway, a blasting of
rocks near White Sulphur Springs,
brought down SO vast quantity as
to stop trains for two days and
therefore transfers will have to be
made with passenger trains. This
road is in a prosperous condition.
The gross earning of the Company
for the past year just ended are the
largest in its history. During the
year it purchased 1000 box cars and
1000 coal cars. On the first day of
July it had no bills pay able and had
1868. 440.U9 in bank.
The company is engaged in
building a road 10 miles along and
across New River and up Piney
Creek in this State. 1t has also de-
cided to build various sections of
double track over the mountains
and through the coal districts, ag-
gregating 30 miles which will prac-
tically make a double track from
Richmond to the New River coal
fields, the company having two lines
from Clifton Forge to Richmond. 1t
will also build an elevated road
through the city Of Richmond and
erect there a passenger station.

riding boots which belonged to
Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
the whole of the Shenandoah valley
and founded the town of Winches-
ter. The boots have been in the
possession of the Holiday family

SONS and were considered the hand
soonest boots in the country.
One more relic. The State of
West Virginia is now in possession
of the table on which the Declara-
ton of Independence was signed.
Its identity is fully established.
The wonderful table was the prop
erty of John Beckley, the first clerk
of the first Continental Congress OF
the United States, which is fact
borne out by there cords Of the gov
eminent. Mr.. John Beckley had
this table in his possession until his
death; his widow kept it until her
death. leaving it to her son, Gen.
Alfred Beckley, of Philadelphia.
The General has had the immediate
possession of this table since the
death OF his mother. Since the death
OF Gen. Beckley, the table has been
in possession of Mrs. Gen. Alfred
Beckley. until loaned TO the State
of West Virginia on the l4th of
September, 1899. Mrs. Beckley re-
quired the State to give heavy
bond for its safe return to her and
required a special guard to watch
and protect It. 1t has only passed
through two generations of the
Beckley family.

The Army Canteen Attacked.
Mrs. Matlack told of how Jesse Acker-
man, one of the organizers Of the W. @.
7. o., related at Ocean Grove her ex-
perience Of finding her brother who had
enlisted in the late var. dealing out
whiskey at the company's canteen. The
young soldier said he had been detailed
to do that daily and had to do it or
desert. Miss Ackerman told him he
ought to desert as q government which
would compel man to do anything that
would offend his moral sentiments did
not deserve his service in it's behalf.
William s. Prickett delivered an in
teresting address on the army canteen
and told Of the efforts made to have it
abolished and the partial success at
tanned. A law was passed by Congress
but defeated in its effect by an opinion
Of the United States Attorney General.
A new bill called the Grout bill will be
presented at the next session OF Con-
gress.
Petitions favoring its passage to be
presented to both the Senate and House
will be presented Of today's session OF
the convention.
The following resolution was presented
at last nights meeting by Mr.. Prickett
and passed:
RESOLVED, That we appeal to the Presi.
dent TO carry the anti-canteen law into
full force and effect in accordance with
its natural meaning and the intent Of
Congress, by issuing an oLder as COM
mander-in-chief OF the army for the total
suppression OF army saloons, at least
until the Attorney Generals opinion has
been finally tested in the courts"

TIE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.

1t is evident that the proposition to
build new school house in the north
end will fail to receive the requisite
three.fiflhs majority. The finances OF
the district do not justify so great an
outlay at this time. A proposition, If
submitted. TO add to the Columbia school
would probably carry. The assessed
valuation Of school district No. Z is a
million and two hundred thousand dol
lars. This at 5 per cent, the legal rate,
brings the constitutional limit Of indebt.
edness up TO sixty thousand dollars.
The bonded Indebtedness is thirty-four
and the floating Indebtedness ten thou
sand dollars. Here is grand total of
forty-four thousand dollars, to which
must be added 10y the erection of new
building fifteen thousand dollars, max.
ing in ali nearly the full legal limit.
There are on hand two thousand dollars
in the general fund and the mandatory
expense collectable from the state of
seven thousand, tive hundred dollars,
which s an off set against the sixty
thousand dollar limit of Indebtedness.
What would become of the district
school facilities if disaster should befall
e,ther of the present school houses? 1t
IS certainly the wisest course to move
slowly rather than bankrupt the school
treasury by eXhau>tng the fund.
THE HERALD. in common with large
number of citizens. believes it Ia he in
the interests of economy To- provide the
necessary room for the increase of the
scho astic population hv building an
addition to the Columbia school. Inc

So that they may not unduly obstruct
the street crossings. Moreover, the city
FIR time could well afford to allow the
high school the use Of the second floor

Two nights month, when the council
meets, and such uses would not interfere
