season; the ground is kept clear of
weeds. and in about six weeks, with
favorable weather, I begin to get

For the madn crop I prefer pieces Of
vines to draws or sets. EARLY planted

can be repeatedly cut, and after the
other ground lis all set out, late in the

satisfaction to- be got of AN expected

this is done; the vines will not do any
thing if allowed to remain ATTACHED to

notched end across the root, if "a draw,

down into the ground. Place fhe plants

MORGANTOWN. w. Va, September
Hon. George C. Sturgiss has gone
to Grafton to attend meeting of the
stockholders of the Central Railroad of
West Virginia. The company will be or
-anized and other business transacted.
The road is to run from a point on the
new Morgantown and Kingwood road
to Charleston, this State.
Waitman Barbe has gone to Clarks-
burg to attend the meeting of the
Board of Regents of the Normal
schools, which takes place there to-
day.
George Hartman had his arms badly
burned by the explosion of gallon of
gasoline at his new residence last night.
He was filing a lantern when it caught
fire. He saw that his house, which is
Just being completed, would be burned
if he did not get the burning stuff out
and he carried it out despite the pain.
Mr.. Sturgiss, president Of the Board
of Regents Of the University, was seen
and asked about the criticism of the
University in the Register He stated
that he had not time to enter into all
Of the criticisms made at this time, but
would do it later. However he stated
stated that the only thing charged with
any degree of truth was in regard to
the pipe oran.
The contracts for the buildings had
not yet been let. The plans even had
not been adopted in the case of one
building. Hence it could not be told
what they would cost and the criticism
in this respect would have to fail.
The private reception was denounced
as fake. There was no private recep-
ton. The only reception held was a
public one and there were no expenses
connected with it whatever.
The trip to the west was ordered by
the Board of Regents and the order
was made long ago. DR. Raymond did
not go on his own hook. The State
derived benefit from this trip and the
taxpayers lost nothing by it. Presi-
dents of all of the agricultural colleges
were there and the meeting productive
of much good.
The University is in splendid shape
and criticisms of this kind are calculate
ed to hurt rather than help its useful
ness.
The other items contained in the
article in question viii be answered
when there is more time at his dis
posal.
