FRANCHISE REJECTED.
Kingwood City Fathers Look
with Disfavor on Proposition

Which Had Been Submitted to Them
by some Morgantown People They
Feared for Their Electric Light
Plant which is Owned by the Town
New Franchise to be Drafted and
Submitted TO the two Parties.
The Kingwood city council at a
special meeting held Saturday
night refused application tor a
water works franchise which had
been made by number of Morgan
town people. The action was
unanimous.
The reason for the rejection was a
clause in the franchise which pro-
vided that the company might fur
nish gas lights for the town. The
town owns the electric light
plant and they were afraid that the
competition of gas would ruin their
business and destroy the income
from this source.
A new franchise will be drawn by
the council and will be submitted
to the applicants for action. In this
the Objectionable features will be
eliminated.
1t is stated by the company that
they will make proposition to the
town tor the electric light plant and
will purchase it If need be in order to
remove this objection. At any rate
they are willing to get together with
the Kingwood people and come to
terms with them on basis which
will be mutually satisfactory.
They did not expect that such an
objection would be made to what
they had to offer and were very
much surprised that it was made as
there was no ulteilor design con
cealed in the franchise which they
asked to be passed.
Col. Frazer and John j.. Hatfield
who had heen over there looking
after the matter have returned
home They came back on Sunday
Later the council and the pro
motors will meet again and new
franchise will be presented.
1t is stated that the franchise
rejected was satisfactory to the old
council but since it was framed q
new council has been elected and
they were opposed to the ordinance
as drawn.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LINDEN.
New Court House, New Hotel and
 Other Buildings.

Linden, Aug. A.-(Special. 1.-The new Court House. over which we have had so much litigation. is nearing completion. It Is said that the most bitter opponents of the building are becoming reconciled. It is a lovely building, and every part of it has been put up in a workmanlike manner under the supervision of James Purvis. The county is receiving a model building.
 Nearly all the lumber for the two-story twenty room hotel to be erected for E. c. Coats Is on the ground. MT. Purvis has the contract for this and will put building in front of the Court House that will be an ornament to the town.
 Other Improvements are being constant ly made and the demand for lumber can not be supplied and some are hauling from other places.
 The candidates for Probate Judge are visiting the people, Among the visitors to Linden this week was George W. Barkley. He is one of our best citizens. On Monday he will celebrate his fifty fourth marriage anniversary. He rides his horse like a soldier yet. Mir. and Mrs. Barkley were married in Shiloh, Ma rengo County, and live near the place yet.
 The corn prospect is bright. and with a little more fair weather we will have a fine cotton crop. Grass and weeds have made good headway during the rainy weather.
