CAPT. Wy. H. KEARFoTT, division
commander of the West Virginia Di-
vision Of the United Sons of Confeder-
ate Veterans, is being doomed by his
=" lends for the position of Department
Commander of the Army of Northern
Virginia, embracing the States of Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Maryland and Ken
lucky, and his name will be placed
before the convention at Dallas, Tex
as, in April, Captain Kearfott is well
qualified for the position, and he is
certainly entitled to the promotion if
effective work and indefatigable SER
vice count for anything. As division
commander for this division he has
made a fine record, and no man in
the South has been more Jealous than
he in promoting the interests of the
cause. He has been highly COM
mended by General John B. Gordon
Judge R. B. Haughton, Capt. John
Lamb, and many other prominent
workers among the Confederate Vet
Grams and the allied societies. We
hope that the honor may come to
Captain Kearfott with no opposition.

We are authoritatively informed
that Hon. John J. Cornwell, of Hamp-
shire county, will bea candidate for
the State Senate from the district
composed of the counties Of Jefferson,
Berkeley, Morgan and Hampshire.
1t gives us pleasure to speak good
word for Mr.. Coruwell, who is 30 well
fitted for the position. He is a gen.
tleman of sound common sense, of
unusual ability aud force Of character,
of strictest integrity, incorruptible,
and straight as string He has
proven his fitness as State Senator
by his excellent record in the body Of
which he has been an honored men,

Democratic nominee for president. His
Democracy is genuine, and he can al
waysb be relied upon. Hewas chairman
of the Democratic county committee of

paign, and while almost every other
county went to pieces, Hampshire

Owing to the gerrymander by the Re

we will want our strongest men there

To sell or not to sell the Western
Maryland Railroad is the question
that is agitating the people of Balti-
more and of certain sections of Mary
land. 1t seems to be conceded that
the offer of the West Virginia Central
syndicate for the road at $685. 3d.
II is the most desirable, for this gives
large sum in cash and promises I'M
portant new railroad business for Bal
timore. There is a strong public SEN
timent in favor of accepting this Offer
but Mayor Hays is averse to selling
the road to any Of the present bidders.
He thinks it is worth more money,
The people of HagerstOwn and Wash
ington county want the road sold to
the West Virginia Central, for the
county would get $434,000 cash out
of and Hagerstown would get a new
trunk line.
We confess to a selfish desire that
the West Virginia Central may not
get the Western Maryland. The new
owners of the former road have pub
licly announced that they mean to at
once begin to develop their purchase.
The vast coal fields that they own will
be opened up more fully, and necessa-
rily they will have to get their prod
uct to tidewater. If they cannot buy
road they will build one, and they
say that if they have to build they
will construct a line along the south
bank of the Potomac from Cumber-
land to a point near Washington,
thence crossing the river and passing
through Maryland to deep water on
the Patapsco river or the Chesapeake
bay. A bill is now before the Mary
land Legislature giving the necessary
permission and it is practically GER
tain to pass. Shepherdstown would
unquestionably be vastly benefited if
this line should be constructed. The
West Virginia Central will eventually
be link in a great trunk line con-
Meeting important western systems
with eastern terminals, and its bust
ness will be heavy. Shepherdstown
would be the one important place along
the line between Cumberland and
Washington where there would be op-
portunity for obtaining the facilities
necessary to make the end Of divis-
ion, and this fact may mean much to
our future prosperity.
The railroad situation !. one big
with interest to the people of this Sec
ton, and they eagerly await fur
Their developments.
