A FAULT.


One of the unpleasant incidents
aof college athletics is the impruden,
newspaper. Too often there is at
tempt to play the game in the press
instead of on the field. Unkind
things are said by one paper about
a neighboring team, and there fol-
lows elimination and re-crimination,
bi1lingsgate and mud-throwing un-
til animosities are aroused. In the
beginning, in most instances, the
sentiment expressed is not that of
the players, but the other side al
ways so accepts it. and thus antag-
onisms are aroused between the men
who must face each other on the
field. Neither team is in any way
responsible for the dislike for it that
has been engendered in the other,
but each is the innocent victim of
ill-advised newspaper talk. The
part the newspapers thus allow
themselves to play, makes dirty
rather than clean ball; it makes of
what ought to be pleasurable sport,
disagreeable and aggravating con-
tests; it makes of the scene on the
field a bad humoured and angry
struggle, rather than good hum
CURED display of science and
strength; it arrays community
against community. and inspires
each to say things about the other
that cannot be forgotten; it arouses
the gambling spirit, for the first re-
sort of most men in hot temper is to
propose to back their judgment with
money. It's whole effect is to en-
barrass and humiliate true sport,
without accomplishing an iota of
good Were the effort spent in the
practice turned toward promotion
of good fellowship and amiability,
the end attained would be heavily
fruited with benefit and vast i'm
petus be given the pleasure of college
games by removal of their most un-
pleasant feature.

Owing to the fact that labor is
so scarce in some counties of this
State that recourse is being advised
to state law which permits the
employment of connvicts on the
county roads, and this suggestion is
being advocated by parties residing
in the northern part of the State.
The law governing the state peni-
tentary stipulates that the state
board of public works is authorized
to furnish to any county in this state
to work on the public roads, free of
hire, as many able bodied male con-
victs from the penitentiary as may
be spared, providing that the coun-
ties sustain the expense of guarding
boarding and medical attendance
on the convicts.
To care for the convicts so EN-.
ployed tents would be necessary
for their shelter and accommoda-
ton at night, and as the regulation
prison fare is not expensive a county
would be under compartivly little
expense in getting splendid roads
built.
The good roads movement is Of
fered golden opportunity through
this channel which many counties
arc considering the advantage of.
The demand for laborers in the oil
fields and on railroad construction
and other work has caused a great
scarcity of labor for the road hire
not to speak of insufficient county
funds under prevailing tax systems
and the prejudice against convict
hire does not obtain in this class of
work.

NEwBURG's LOT SALE.

Last Thursday was big day for New
burg and the FIRST lot sale in the history OF
the town II was managed BY ], Ami Mar
tin. Col. Jim Frazer and Bryan Gordon all
oil Morgantown. They had purchased the
Shaw land some time since and laid il OF
into lots and streets. Big posters were
sent far and near, and special train was
run from Grafton to bring up Vincent
Band and about hundred people and
hundreds of others came in from the sur.
rounding country so that the sale was a
big success, and Col. Frazer informs us
that 1t amounted to 1880. fifteen hundred
more than they expected. The time for
advertising IL was short and Col Cum.
mings, the auctioneer. rushed about 1873
lots through so fast that il made the far
mers' heads swim. An average OF a lot a
minute was too swift for them, and the lots
were knocked of before they could get a
bid on them.
The promoters of the enterprise made
some money and they deserve to. I. Ami

State, and has done much to develop this
section of the country, and will continue in

DO YOU Ksowi

DO you know that this question of
the right of women to self.goyern-
ment is one which is commanding
the attention of the whole civilized
world1 The women of England,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales may
vote upon the same terms as men in
|. all elections except that of members
OF Parliament.
10 you know that in Englsnd the
House of Commons has three times
recorded itself in favor of full
suffrage for women and that il
would now be established but for
the hereditary and unprogressive
House of Lords1
Do you know that the women of
Australia, numbering 500, 900, the
women of the Isle of Man, and of
New Zealand, enjoy full suffrage
upon the same terms as men and
the women of Sweden and Norway,
with a slight property qualification
may vote IN all elections except
members of Parliament
Do you know that the women of
Wyoming have voted upon the same
terms as men since 1860; the
women of Colorado since 1909; the
women of Utah and Idaho since
1896 and that the universal testi-
mony is that it has resulted in great
good TO both the women and The
State1
Do you know that the movement
for woman suffrage is only one
phase of the eternal warfare of all
the centuries for human liberty
Do you know that, while women
are ruled out, the highest intelli-
gence and morality will never be
full represented in any community
in its law, since intelligence and
morality must always be averaged
at the ballot-box with ignorance
and immortality 1t is plain that
wherever intelligence and morality
predominant over ignorance aud
immortality, the trend of civilization
must be upward, and since women
can offer higher per cent, of
morality, and certainly an equal
amount of intelligence with men, it
requires no demonstration to show
that women will help to make the
world better.

Morgantown is certainly going to
have the greatest day OF her history,
May 3oth, Memorial Day. Gen. S.
b. NJ. Young, U. S. A., and staff,
and all their families will be present;
also Ex-Governor O'Ferrall, of
Virginia and Hobson of Merrmac
fame, as well as many of the Sena-
tors and Congressman of the State.
The parade will assuredly be one Of
the greatest ever seen in the county
If not the State, consisting of all the
members of the G.. A. r., as we'll
as the veterans OF the Gray of the
county, the cadets of w. Va. u,
headed by the Varsity band, all
the civic societies and several COM
panies of State Guards, trades un-
ions and school childrens will be in
line, with brass and martial bands
galore. In the way OF amusements
there will be plenty to please all.
The Senca b. b. Club plays the St.
Louis, All Star Ladies' club, and
the Dennision Club plays the w.
Va. U. on the college grounds. In
the evening there will be various
entertainments at the opera house
and the University. In fact the
good people of the college town are
getting up program that will send
all of their visitors home tired and
happy, but will remember the day
for many moons as a red letter one.

JESSIE G.. MANLEy.

The Grafton Sentinel sets good
example to other papers in giving
the exact facts in regard to the small
pox situation in that city. Some
papers try to cover it up and deny
it or say nothing about it for fear it
will hurt the town and keep people
and trade away etc. But this is a
wrong view of the matter and not
true, for If there is any smallpox it
will be found out and the news
spread far and near in spite of all
attempts to cover it up and all
kinds of exaggerated rumors and
distorted reports will be spread
abroad and even right at home and
it is much better to tell the truth
and give the people the facts. In
fact this is the main mission of a
newspaper and the people who take
it and pay for it have right to get
some return for their money. The
Morgantown Dominion pursued the
same policy as the Sentinel when
they had smallpox over there and
both papers did exactly right and
the public should give them credit
for il.

From The Grafton sentinel

From the Grafton Sentinel
Carpenters engaged in tearing away the
old William Iiamilion property a, Evansville
during The pas, week, found stored away in
the walls the sam Of Eve hundred dollars IN
gold pieces Of all denominati atoms used BY the
United States. This historic old building.
which has been standing for many long
years, wea,heriug the storms OF severe
winters and hot summers, has at las, been
forced to give way TO the march Of progress,
and in Us place will be erected a fine. mod.
ern dwelling house It was land MARI
that will be clearly remembered by many Of
the older citizens of this aud adjoining
counties who travelled the stage route and
who have stopped on many occasions at tho
old building, used for a number Of years as
hoteI. Just how The money came 10 be
placed IN the walls of the old build,ne will
doubtless ever remain a mystery. The
general superstition, however, is tina, Mr..
Hamilton, now deceased. during the war
and upon the approach of antagonistie
forces, placed the money there for safe
Keeping, either forgetting where he had
put II or desiring it to remain there as a
possible contingent fund for then future
years, eventually forgetting all abou, ii with
the flight of time. The laborcrs engaged in
tearing down the building were honest, aud
the gold was therefore delivered 10 the man
who has the greatest right to it-Mr. Link
Dennison, who married a daughter of the
house OF Hamilton. Just what disposition
will be made of this five hundred in gold
coin has not been stated, but our idea Of The
ahair would be 10 contribute it to charity,
church, fund 10 partially endow good
school; or better yet, TO give it to some good
newspaper of Preston county that is at once
deserving and appreeiatve. We have
never heard of a newspaper being endowed.

this matter that will read his title clear to

So much of this strike business
makes us tired and the Labor
Unions will keep on with it till the
country will rise up and smite them
hip and thigh and drive the whole
business out of existence. In fact
we will have to have some legisla-
ton on the subject. Every paper
you take up now days is full Of
strikes and boycotts all over the
country. No difference how pros
porous the workingmen are and how
good wages they are getting or how
well satisfied they are, some walk
ing delegate or set of high salaried
labor officials, will come and order
a strike on some fool pretex or
other, in order to hold their job
and give some semblance of earning
their salary or pretext for collecting
dues from the man who makes the
elbow grease.
