W. e. Baker and R. D. Heironelmus,
well known lawyers of Beverly. while
here yesterday, said their section was
on a boom. and that Randolph and Bar
bour counties were fast becoming Lead
ing centers OF industry. They say the
new town OF Berryville, at the head
waters of Simpsons creek. between FL
kIns and PhilIppl, has sprung up like a
mushroom. Two-thirds OF the fifty
houses contracted fos have been COM
pleted and are being taken as fast as
finished. The new hotel has forty
rooms. Work on the coal tipple is be-
ing carried on at a rapid rate and a
tram road Is being graded. The saw
mills are running to their full capacity
to supply building material for the var
ious works. Tho Southern Coal and
transportation Company which is in
terested in the development, is pushing
the new mine openings vigorously. The
grading of the Hackers Valley branch
Of the Grafton &. Belington railroad,
which will terminate at Berryville. is
being pushed all along the line. The
road will be solidly constructed.
This smOkelesS Coal Company, in
which Baltimore capital is largely In
terested; has, within The past few days,
made enormous investments In proper
" along Roaring creek, in Randolph
county. They have purchased the Link
railroad, running from Relinston to
Monroe junction. The mines will. be
opened at once. The smokeless Coal
Company Is about to purchase the
United states Coal & Iron Manufaetur'
ing compony's property extending from
Wolnersdorf south to Mabie, on the
Upper Roaring creek. Monroe Junction
is in the center of 5000 acres of the
richest coal lands in the Roaring creek
pocket.
The Century Coal Company, near
Burnersviile, Is sinking a shaft 175 feet
deep and % by IS feet in size. Twenty
double and ten single company houses
are being built. This company is also
composed largely OF Baltimore capital
lists, Of whom Major Alexander Shaw is
at the head. DR.. Richard Gerstell, for
merry of Cumberland, Nd, is general
manager OF the company. and will erect
an 5000 residence ut Burnersyille. The
company expects to ship 100 car loads
Of coal daily over the Grafton g Beling-
ton branch Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad!
John F. Nydeggar, postmaster at
Bayard, and others, have purchased the
town Of Barrett, on the West Virginia
Central railway, few miles south of
German. The property embraces forty
acres, admirably adapted for cottage
sites. and summer resort will be es-
tablished.
The new lumber mill at Dobbin, under
the management Of S. C. sayidge, has
resumed work with $50 men. 1t is one
of the finest plants along the West Vir-
glnia Central railroad. There are l.
100000 feet of logs in the pond now to
be converted into lumber.
When asked about the county seat
trouble, Mr.. Baker expressed the opln-
ION that 1t was over. Some persons, he
said, were trying now to make Huttons-
Vile the county seat, but the movement
would not amount to anything,

Special Dispatch to the intelligence
FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Feb. 25.-Coal
operators are complaining Of the lack
Of railroad motive power and Of the
scarcity OF cars in this region. The de-
mand for coal and coke was as great
last week us the week previous, but the
shipments OF both fell of considerably,
which was due to the lack Of power to
move the freight. The car supply shows
a decrease, of over a hundred cars!
There Is now In this region ready for
shipment 1900 east bound loads. The
Nonongahela River railroad is practl-
cally blocked, and the Pittsburgh dlvi-
sion, as far as connellsvllle, is very
much crowded. No orders are being
accepted which give a specified time for
the coal to be delivered unless there is
q run Of cars for these particular
points.
The city council Is contemplating Inn
posing a tax on all city drays. The
Idea meets with the approval of the
duymen, as they believe 1t would have
the effect OF keeping out-of-town teams
from coming into town and working for
Gweek or two and then leaving. clarks-
burg draymen pay a tax Of SIS, which
has proved beneficial to them.

Up-to-Date War Maxims.

The history thus far of Great Brit

publics suggests to the New York
World 4 new version of war maxims;
Trust in God and get the best guns.
God is apt to be on the side of the
strongest positions.
Uniforms do not make soldiers, not
does gold lace make generals.
After raid prepare against an in
Va i'm.
Thrice is he armed who can shoot
straight at long range.
To underrate your enemy is even
more foolish.thau to Overrate yourself.
Men who prepare for battle by say
ing prayers and singing psalms must
not be despised because they seldom
take bath.
Fighting colored races who wear
only a breechcloth or pajamas is a
different proposition from lighting

ers and carry Mausers.

The Chicago Record. in discussing
editorially the telephone situation in
Rock Island saws: The problem
confronting the council and citizens of
Rock Island is typical. The same sit
uation exists in nearly every city in
the state. The legislature should take
the matter in hand with n view to
making possible Il better solution of
the problem than is afforded by the
alternatives presented TO the city of
Rock Island, which must either submit
to the prices of the old company or
invite the veNatiouS incident to the
maintenance of rival exchanges. 1t
ought to be accepted as fundamental
proposition that the telephone bust
ness should be monopoly. There
should be but one system in any city.
As matter of fact. there should he
unity of system over the entire state,
and even over the entire United States.
Grant the monopoly feature, however,
and the principle Of complete regula-
tion and control by the public must
follow As a natural consequence. 1t
should not be necessary TO grant a
franchise to a competing company in
order To secure a reduction in rates or
improvement in the service. The
