"Richard G. Kerens, Of st. Louis,
an extensive stockholders in the
West Virginia Central and Pitts
burg Railway. whose summer home
is at Elkins. w. Va, says the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg
Railway has not been sold, nor will
it be, but it Will become part of
| the trunk lire which will enable
the GouIds to reach the Atlantic
>eaboard. Mr.. Kerens says that
the deal will not be completed un-
til ex-senator Henry q. Davis re-
turns from the CITY Of Mexico. He
is expected home i'll few days,
having already left Mexico, the
pending negotiations having has
tened his return. MIR. KererS adds
ct is not sale which we have
been making. The road has not
been sold, but it has gone into IL
deal whereby we are to get to the
ocean. We are baiIGimg to the
Little Kanawna railroad, and the
Wabash is putting II bridge across
the Ohio river. We are going to
Lake Erie. Our relations with the
Wabash are very friendly
Upon being asked whether the
Western Maryland was i" the deal
Mr.. Kerrns said. No, that road
runs into the PENNSYLVANIA terHh-
nails at Baltimore; that would Lard
" be profitable place to 90
"Upon being asked whether the
Coal and lrrn Railroad extension
of tie West Virginia Central from
ElkinS to the Chesapeake and ONO
meant that It's tracks would be
used to the Atlantic Mr.. kerenS
said: We'll, we're building to the
Chesapeake and Ohio, but there has
been talk Of our building clear to
the ocean on our own account. The
deal involves bond issue of $50
G0O.VO0. There are many details
vet to unfold. and when Senator
Davis returns there will be much
done.

Cabinets and Cabinet Making

The gradual reconstruction OF
MIR. Ro1seyelt's Cabinet leads il
direct and timely interest to an
article which the Hon. Charles
Emor, Smith has just written for
The Saturday Evening Post, OF
Philadelphia.
Cabinets and Cabinet Making
tells how Presidents choose their
official advisers; how nice political
considerations influence their choice
and reduce to lowest terms the
number of available candidates.
One Of The most important con
illusions reached by MIR. Smith is
taat most Presidents have follow
I'd one of two methods in forming
their official families: that of MIR
Lincoln and his predecessors. who
surrounded themselves with part,
leaders and former Presidentli'
candidates, and that of MIR, Me
kinley, who appointed strong
broad gauged men, regardless G
previous political prominence.
This article will appear in a
early issue Of The Saturday Even
ing Post.

ThacIseray as a Snowman.

Ia Thackeray's case the justification
of artificial names, if it be right to
speak OF Justification. lies in this that
with al the solid reality Of the life por-
trayed we are never allowed to lose
sight of the author and his art in por-
traiture. He is'ever at hand to under
line the snobbery or laugh off the pa
thos. There is a strong strain of the
satirist in him, and satire is akin to 81
legory. There is even IA strain of the
caricaturist ready to emerge in the
midst of his noblest art.
lie is especially fond of putting on
the airs and graces of the Snowman.
His preface to VANITY Fair" is headed
Before the Curtain" and this great
novel Of real life concludes with "Come,

THE MAJORITY HAS SPOKEN,

BY popular vote on Thursday,
August 21st, 1902, it was decreed that
1t would be lawful to license the sale
of liquor in Sumter county and the city
of Americas, and it is hardly probable
that there will be any protest against
this mandate of the people. II is one
of the fixed principles of the law and
order of the American people to abide
by the verdict of the majority, and the
Times Recorder trusts that all good

fully and that factional differences will
nor be settled and all will pull for the

zTHE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

The farmers are no longer the IN
sophisticated class they formerly were,
but are now right up to date" and |
capable of doing some quick thinking |
During the races at Saratoga num-
Der of gamblers opened pool room
at Sharon Springs for the benefit of the
farmers IN that part of New York who
were sportively inclined, but it proved
to be disastrous venture for the
chevaliers d'industrle. The latter ar
ranged for the telegraphing of the re-
suit of the races to Sharon Springs
from Albany before closing the
/ pools aud for few days the
spondulicks Of the farmers in large
rolls changed hands. The gamblers
were enjoying financial feast and also
living on the fat of the land, but the
farmers put their heads together, hav-
ing smelled large sized rodent, and
sent one of their number to Albany to
telephone the outcome of the races
twenty minutes before the gamblers
could get the news by wire. Inside OF
three days the pockets Of the farmers
were bulging with the money of the
gamblers aud the latter realizing that
the hayseeds had played it''low down"
on them turned their backs on Sharon
Springs forever
The newspapers, the telegraph and

obscure hooks and corners of the coun.

Queer stories are being told about
the new battleship Maine, now lying at
the Brooklyn navy yard, One of them
is that the armor of her after turret
shows numerous longitudinal cracks,
some as mush as a quarter of an inch
deep. One section of the armor, it is
said, is so criss-crossed with cracks
that one cannot lay his hand on 1t
without covering two or more cracks.
These cracks, it was explained, will be
filed over with cement and then
smoothsd and painted, then the arm
or will look better 1t is further ex-
planned that the cracking is natural
consequence, due to the manner IN
which the plates are bent. 1t will
take some strong arguments to make
people believe that first-class armor
ought to show cracks like that
