Mr. Mansfield Makes Mistakes In Both
Places How He Saw Things In this
Section.

StCtfoUs
Brother Mansfield of the Charleston
Gazette was ia town recently. He
came here to take in the Knights OF
| Pyshias grand lodge. OF course the
people Of the town laid themselves
open TO entertain him and he has u
hazy idea OF the architecture prevail
ing in the city. His ideas in regard
10 prevailing conditions at FaiImont
are clouded. Often times however an
over ripe Jag will leave the victim
with thirst that makes any thing
short of bonded ware house as dry
as the desert of Sahara. His impress
sions are given in a late issue OF his
esteemed publication as follows. Any
body In this end Of the state can read-
lily see how much he is mistaken:
The "speak- easy is more particularly
indigenous TO the upper end of the
State. Any and all towns north of
the center OF the State where licenses
are not granted, have the speak
easy The chief difference between
a saloon and s'speak- easy is that
one has license and the other does not.
In every other respect they are similar
If not identical both In appearance
and modus operandi Sistersville and
Clarksburg were infested with "speak-
easies" until each Of these towns got
a new charter granting To the city
council the authority To issue license.
At Morgantown, the seat OF the Unit
versity. there Is speak al
most every cellar. The officers cannot
be ignorant Of their existence for a
blind man could not avoid falling into
them as he walks the streets. hut
there is method In the Morgantewn
''speak easy" The town will not
grant license because it would mater.
tally injure the University. And
while they thus hold out the preten-
sion of being dry town the speak
easiesa are a hundred fold worse for
the University than licensed saloons.
Scores Of young men will quietly slip
into the "speakeasies" who would not
boldly enter a saloon. One of the few
towns which have not procured new
charters comforting the right on the
council TO grant license, Is Fairmont.
As the county court OF Marion refuses
TO give license Fairmont Is necessarily
s.dry town. +" But a new charter
will be proposed at the coming session
Of the legislature and II it goes
through, as it probably will, Fairmont
can laugh 10 the face of an anti-license
county court. Fairmont got such a
charter in 1897, but the act was
vetoed by Governor MacCorkle on ac-
count Of defects.

Methodist Episcopal Revival Services.

Last evening Rey. F. w. Gee
preached to an excellent audience
from the words ''Thou fool. This
night shall thy soul be required of
thee" He manifested the folly of
men who live entirely for selfish ac-
cumulations of property and then
go into eternity without any person
al salvation. He showed that null
titudes of people live exclusively for
the attainment of fortune, honor and
the sensual enjovments of this life
and then die suddenly and their
souls are lost in perdltion. He dem
onstrated impressively, that the
wisest thing the people Of Morgan
town can do is to become happy,
pure and useful disciples of Jesus
Christ. That will make splendid
success Of this life and insure eter-
nal felicity beyond the grave. In
the devotional meeting that sue
ceeded the interesting sermon
earnest prayers were offered by Pro-
fessors Stewart, Hodges, Douthat
and Jones. Mr.. Gee is preaching
each day at 3 p. m. in the Sunday
School room and every night in the
church auditorium. A large choir
with pipe organ accompaniment,
furnish leadership in the vocal mu-
sic. New revival hymn books are in
all of the pews and the meetings
constantly increase in interest.
