The Republican primaries in this
county warmed up at the last moment
and there was a very hot finish. The
contest for sheriff was the hottest one
and there was considerable betting. on
it after the returns had begun to come
in The full vote has not yet been
received but it is nearly complete and
Barrackman has won by majority Of
about fifty over Barker who was his
nearest competitor.
From the start it was seen that the
fight was between these two men and
the latter seemed to be the winner
until Mooresville came in. This gave
Barrackman a lead which was never
beaded and he won out closely follow
ed by Barker. The other candidates
were never in the race.
Barrickman is regarded as the
weakest man of the five and will de-
tract from the strength of the county
ticket.
After sheriff the interest centered in
the fight for prosecuting attorney
! Charles A. Goodwin was successful
lover Edgar B. Stewart receiving from
two to three hundred majority. Bat
tel district is not all in and Goodwin
will get more votes added TO his total
Hon. e. M. Grant was nominated
for the house Of delegates without OPP
position and George w. Johnson was
named for county surveyor without
any one opposing him.
Beth Jennewine swept things for
county commissioner receiving from
three to four hundred majority. Had
I the Cheat river bridge not been con-
tracted for before the election his
majority would have been even great
er. This gives us two commissioners
on this side of the river and this will
be the first time for long time that
this has been true.
George M. Vangilder received the
highest majority of any candidate in
his race for assessor on this side. He
got over six hundred more votes
than his nearest competitor. He was
defeated four years ago by the West
Side but they evened it up this time.
David f. Morris was elected assessor
on the West Side by about two hun
dred. All of these majorities given
above are approximate. The full re-
= turns are not in and several OF the
precincts are missing but they are in
the main correct. All of the parties
named are conceded to be elected.

Tan do Nothing but Let Hin TO-
How Little the Man is-~liis Acts
Shown up in Their True Light.
1t is announced on good authority
that DIR. Jerome Hall Raymond
would withdraw his resignation from
the hands of the Board Of Regents
il the matter were now left TO him
says the Martinshurg statesman
We believe that the Board of Re.
gents, composed as it should be OF
good. solid men of business tact and
ability, will not allow this. We feel
confident that now that the matter
was SO nicely settled at the meeting
OF the board in April that they will
not open the healing sores at the
June meeting any further than to
accept the resignation rendered.
We cannot understand the posi-
ton OF Hon. George 6. Stnrgiss III
employing Raymond for the summer
term, as it is automatically announc.
ed that be has. Certainly the West
Virginia University IS not to become
as bad an eye sore to the people OF
the State as the Insane Asylum at
Weston. We feel assured that Col
onel Sturgies would not let it go
headlong into such position.
10 prove the littleness and mar
row mindedness of Raymond is but
to go over his official and unofficial
conduct since the April meeting of
the board and it will convince any
fair and open minded citizen that he
should go, At every chance he has
knitted every student who signed the
petition asking for his dismissal and
bubbles over those whose names are
affixed thereto.
DR. Raymond has not been con-
spired against. 1t has been his acts
that have capped the climax be
tween himself and the faculty.

him are the Chicagoans aud those
who are waiting but chance to
Jump into the shoes of the other
professors.
The people are not blinded to all
this, 'all true friends of the Univer
sity deplere it. But in deploring it
they demand that the wrong be
righted; that the men OF the fti-
ture generation who are in training
there shall not see the be, and most
level headed of their instructors go
To appease the anger and crafty
the wrath of one small. wee Yves,
terner.
1t the Board OF Regents made
mistake when he was elected presi-
dent, they have good chance now
to rectify it aud still stand in the
good graces of the people. Raymond
must go; If the board sees fit to al
low him to remain they must an
swer for it before the tribunal under
whose graces they hold their office.
1t is true, as was advanced by the
Fairmont Index, that the position Of
regent is not one Of roses, but the
individual members OF the board
will certainly not act so blindly to-
wards the interests of the people OF
the state as to allow Raymond to re-
main. We are confident OF this.
So far as Diminishing any Of the
professors at the request of Ray
mond for INSTRUMENTATION and in
competency, we laugh at the idea.
The board will not be 50 blindly led
to do such an act as this by man
who acts like naughty school boy
in short trousers.

The base bali team is back at home
after playing two games one OF which
was tie with Waynesburg and the
other was lost TO w. s. j. by a score
of s to ,. The last game was lost by
the ragged playing of the outfield who
made many errors.
Bowman struck out eleven men and
gave but seven hits which were some
what scattering. Long drives into
the field were missed by the flelders
who seemed unable 10 judge them
and the runners made several bases
in each instance before the balls were
fielded.
Duffy umpired for w. & J. and he
gave the boys raw dose. He called
two balls strikes on Peck and then as
the third one was thrown before it
had gotten half way to the batter he
called ''batter out" Peck was desper-
ate by this time and hit the ball max
ing safe single.
Two runs were made ia the last in
ming and the game ended by Miller
being called out at home after he had
been safe fully a minute. He slid in
home and was getting UP when the
catcher caught the ball and touched
him. w. & j. would have probably
won the game with fair deal and it
made the boys feel mad over being
cheated.
The season has now closed. Fiji
teen games were played including the
one with Wheeling or fourteen
games without that. Eleven were
won, two were lost and one tied. The

English Guns and Buttons Dug in The
Savannah River,

Two old carronades were fished I'D
from the Savannah River by the
dredge Babcock while the deepening
process for the Hutchinsons Island
terminals was in progress. After the
old guns were dug up months ago,
there was some correspondence with
the Smithsonian Institution in regard
to them, but tue Smithsonian Will not
get the relics, and it seems probable
that they will grace some spot in
Savannah. Properly mounted and in
scribed with their history, and the
manner and date of their recovery
the guns would prove objects of no
little interest.
1t is believed the hulk from which
the guns were recovered was the
wreck Of the British man-of-war Rose,
which was sunk by the continentals
and the French. The exact location of
the wreck could not be ascertained
from the historical accounts, but it is
presumed that the hulk demolished by
the dredging force was all that was
left Of the British war vessel This
belief is siren gthened by the fact that
the carronades are Of the type that
prevailed about that period.
Among the relics that were recov-
cred by the dredge were bottoms that
bear the number of British regiments
known to have been posted here dur
ing the revolution. W. W. Hegeman,
who was awarded the contract for the
dredging and the wharf work, has

numbers 16, Il, and Sc, and heraldic

PADDING 5000 Miles,

Somewhere down along the Atlantic
coast is a big birch bark canoe. 1t is
occupied and padded by two Indian
chiefs. The leader is old Big Thunder
head chief Of the Penobscot tribe, who
owns Old Town Island in Maine Big
Thunder is nearly 80 years old, but he
is still a giant in stature and in
strength. Early this srping the old
chief made up his mind that before he
died he would like to visit the Great
White Father at his big wigwam in
Washington. Accordingly, huge
birch canoe was built for the trip, and
several weeks ago Big Thunder, whose
other name is Frank Loring, and
minor chief, Peter Nicola, started down
the Penobscot river to the sea. From
the mouth Of the river they intend to
paddle down the coast to the Potomac
and thence up to Washington. The
trip they have undertaken is trife
over 5000 miles long, and they intend
to take their time about it. The canoe
has already been sold to a man in

ing $1,000 for a thousand cigars
There is nothing peculiar about these
high-priced cigars except, perhaps, i'll
the fancy packing and the extremely
careful selection. To the taste of the
ordinary smoker they are no better

Terrell, the sugar magnate, has paid as
high as 1000 for thousand cigars.
The importers who make a specially
