Bad Case of Swelled Head.

The regents Of the University are
holding special session. Everybody
in Morgantown Is taking a hand in
affairs. IL Is well known that for
some time there has been bad blood
working between President Raymond
and portion Of the faculty. Both
sides have friends and the regents are
besicged on all sides. Judging from
the many reports about President
Raymond's introducing fads into the
institution, one is easily led to believe
that the young president has bad
case of swelled head. The President
has black listed five members OF the
faculty for dismissal upon charges of
incompetency and disloyalty to his
excellency. -Moundsville Echo.

Waiting with Patience.

The Beard Of Regents Of the Uni
versity is In session at Morgantown.
The citizens OF Morgantown, the fac
ulty, students and the State at large
are greatly interested In what the
Board will do says the Index. So far
the time has been uaken up in listen
ing to the reading of long report by
the President and no important ac-
tion will likely be had for day or two.
The University is rightly the pride Of
the State. There are more people di-
rectly interested in it than Ia all Of
the other public institutions combin-
ed, and 1t Ii but natural that they
watch most closely its management
and on account Of their love for the
old school, they are apt to resist any
thing which is done which they fear
will be against its advancement. We
will await with patience the action Of
the Board.

APPLES. PEACHES, CREAM.
West Virginia Coming to The Front as
Fruit Growing State.


This State is not only fine for min
erals, timber and stock, but the soil
is remarkably productive and In spite
Of the roughness OF the country n
some localities, agricultural pursuits
are certain and profitable. Fruit
growing is beginning to attract atten-
tion. Already some growers are reap
ing fortunes by raising peaches and
apples while plums and other smaller
fruits are profitable. In fact the
farmers of West Virginia are deyot-
ing much attention now and have
been doing so for several years TO fruit
growing. Apples and peaches as in
timated above occupy the greater
part Of their attention among the
largest fruits. Among the smaller
fruits extensively cultivated by them
are grapes, strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries and eurrants.
In round numbers, the state now
has about 5000, 900 bearing apples
trees, producing annually about s.
600, 600 bushels; 470, 900 bearing
peach trees, producing annually about
400, 900 bushels: 1870, 600 bearing
cherry trees, producing annually about
60, 600 bushels; %, 600 bearing pear
trees, producing annually about 90,
900 bushels; 1900 bearing apricot
trees, producing annually about 600
bushels; 5000 bearing plum and
prune trees, producing annually 1000
bushels.
There are in the state 80 or more
commercial nurseries, covering about
500 acres of land. This represents
alone an invested capital of $l35, 900.
Large numbers Of men aud women and
children are employed in them.
There are ia addition 25 or more COM
mercial florists, whose establishments
represents about $50, 900.
The value OF all this fruit aggre-
gates 81, 404, 600 To it may be added
5000, 600 for garden crops and s270, 600
for miscellaneous crops, making a
total of nearly 81, 600, 900 as the value
of the annual fruit production Of the
state,
The culture of fruit and related
crops has not, however, as yet reach
ed so extensive a stage as to admit of
large expectations. This is indicated
by the fact that the people of the
state consume more than they pro-
duce.
The growing OF apples is the most
extensively carried on OF all the fruit
industries enumerated. In the
amount of shipments of this fruit
West Virginia taxes rank with Ohio
and Missouri, heing excelled by New
York and New England. The apple
is popular on account Of its variety Of
uses, and its adaptability for use as
good, both raw and cooked. A few
species ripen early in the summer and
in the early fall months, but the ma
jority of the crops reach maturity dur
ing the months Of October and No
vember.
Next in extensiyencss to apple rails
ing comes peach culture. The peach
can be grown in almost every section
of the United States and West Vir-
ginia is no exception. The states In
which the peach is most largely grown
at present are New Jersey, Delaware,
Georgia, Maryland, New York, Con-
necticut, Missouri, Michigan, Califor-
MIA and Colorado.

A JOINT CONFERENCE
OF Republicans. Democrats aud Repre-
sentatiyes of the Bar Association,
Looking to Securing Good Men for
Judges.

PARKERsBuRa, w. Va, April q.
Committees representing the Demo-
cratic and Republican State Executive
Committees and the State Bar Asso-
citation met here this afternoon Ia
consider the proposition for the cleo
tion of a non partisan Supreme Court.
Andrew Edmiston and Col John II.
McGraw representing the Democratic
Committee, District Attorney Gaines
and w. n. Miller, of this city, repre-
sentipg the Republican Committee,
w. p. Hubbard, of Wheeling, and +.
j. Crogan, of Kingwood, representing
the Bar Association, met at the Jack
son Hotel.
Mr.. Edmlston proposed that each
party nominate one candidate, but
this was not acceptable.
After several other propositions had
been discussed it was decided TO give
up efforts to that end and agree to
nominate the best men In each party.
Fhe plan adopted was To induce both
State conventions To refuse to nomin-
ate candidates for the Supreme Court
judgeship and for both parties to
hold at the same time aud place, later
conventions ts select candidates for
judge, or, II this did not prevail, To
induce both parties to change the
order Of business at the conventions
so that the judges might be nominate
ed before candidates for other offices.
All parties recognized the necessity
for greater care in nominating judges
and 1t is believed the conference Will
result in good.

CANT WE HAVE Irs
Another Train From The S0nth That
Would Be a Great Convenience


Under the present arrangements on
the railroad here there is no train un-
til 1889 going to Fairmont or any
point East in that direction. There
has been much inconvenience here for
that reason and a considerable loss to
the railroad. As it is now one can go
to Fairmont arriving there a 12:40
and have an hour and half to lunch
and transact business. There are few
instances in which this is time enough
to do anything so people do not at
tempt it. The matter might be rem
edied by running train No. that
comes from Clarksburg to Fairmont
at p. m. to Morgantown returning
at 6:15 a. m. next morning thus not
interfering with its present run be-
tween Fairmont and Clarksburg. 1t
would simply be to have the train lily
at Morgantown over night instead Of
at Fairmont and thus do great deal
Of business that is never done for the
simple reason that there is no way to
do it. The facilities for going in that
direction are far less now than when
the terminus of the road was here.
With this train running to Morgan
town each day people could get to all
points East by way of Grafton and
could reach Wheeling about 10 a. m.
Very little travelling is done in either
way for the simple reason that it is
impossible to go without remaining
away over night. 1t is to be hoped
the B. & O. authorities will look into
this matter and give US the change.
1t is so simple that 1t could go into
effect any day without interfering
with any other trains.
