A very important meeting of the Of
Gals of the Western railroads that en-
ter Norfolk will be held ut Richmond,
Va, Tomorrow to adjust rates on grain
to North Carolina and Virginia points
Norfolk dealers have built up an i'm
mense and constantly expanding busl-
ness in handling Western grain, partic-
ularlyi that which comes South from
Illinois and Indiana For some time
they have been seriously hampered by
inimical rates on direct shipments
South from the States mentioned. Much
of this grain has gone first to Louis
vile, KY, where 1t went into elevators
and thence came South to the ultimate
points direct.
Many purchasers desire their grain TO
come via Norfolk, and in supplying
these the Norfolk dealers have been
badly handicapped, as the total charges
from the North to Norfolk and from
Norfolk to the various points in North
Carolina and Virginia were greater
than those on direct shipments. 1t Is
for the purpose of correcting this inc
quality that the railroad officials will
meet tomorrow. 1t is understood that
they have fully decided to enualize the
rates, and thus the existing handicap
under which Norfolk and all other Vir-
gnia cities now labor will be removed,
and the result will be OF great benefit
to all grain dealers in the State
Nnrfnlli.s- commanding points In and

For taxes which accrued during the es-
tate of the tenant for life and assessed
against him, the lien Isl I think, only
upon the life estate, and does not >ex-

conclusion. therefore, Is that the lien
for taxes and levies assessed on real es-

NO CONFEDERATION YET.

The Dayton rally in the Court
House here Tuesday night was a
tame affair. There was fairly
good crowd in attendance and the
Cornet Band livened things up a
little. Capt. J. M. Goodwin presid-
ed over the meeting and introduced
the speakers. The first was A. w.
Mcdowell an eS-congressman from
Pennsylvania who failed to start any
confagration and made some ludi-
crous and ridiculous statements
about how President Mckinley sent
for Dayton at all hours of the day
and night to consult with him about
the weighty affairs of the nation
and that A. G.. was so well known
in Congress that any man or boy
you met down there could point
him out and show you his seat.
The fact of it is as everybody knows,
that Dayton is Every small potatoes
and few in the hill" and has several
times been mistaken for a page in
Congress. Col. Mcdowell also
declared that we had more gold in
the country now than we had gold
and silver both in 1896 and were
loaning hundreds of millions of
gold abroad besides. Now does
anybody believe that2 If these
spellbinders think our people are so
ignorant that any kind of an old
statement will go, they are badly
mistaken. AS for Dayton's speech,
it was the same old harangue about
"why he was a Republican, and
the whine in his voice did not agree
with his bold declaration that he
would be elected this time by 5000
majority and carry Preston county
by $500. He plead pathetically
all through his speech for re-elect-
ion, and there were tears in his
voice as big as your fist. AS a
story teller he would make a splen-
did advance agent for Ayers Sarsa-
parilla, which is said to be good
for that "tired feeling" AS Day
ton failed to set anything afre here,
it is not necessary to waste any
more space on the meeting.

business.
The Convention was called to
order by ]. Slidell Brown, Chair
man of the Senatorial Committee
and Hon. John +. McGraw was
elected Chairman and X. T.. l..
Allen, OF Morgantown, Secretary.
Preston was entitled to fourteen
votes, Taylor, thirteen and Monon-
gala, fifteen in the Convention.
But two candidates were placed
in nomination, both from Monon-
gala county, as the candidate was
opnceded to that county this time.
They were Press. T. Ray and
William Ralphsnyder. The vote
was very close between them, stand
ing aoH for Ray and aI1l for
Ralphsnyder. The latter was de.
clared the nominee and will make a
good race, considering all the odds
against him.
He is a prominent farmer and
stock raiser living over on Indian
creek, Monongalia county and
must stand well at home, as he was
elected a member of the Board of
Education over there, where the
Republicans are almost as strong as
in Preston.
A new Senatorial Committee was
elected with Hon. I. c. Ralphsnyder
as the member from Preston county.
Col. Nat Ward FITZGERALD was
present and made red-hot speech,
arousing great enthusiasm.
