EVERY THINE L0yEii.
According 10 an Open Letter sent ont
BY President of University aud May
or of the City.

The following open letter has been
sent ont by the gentlemen whose
names are signed to it:
OPEN LETTER TO THE puHLIc:-
Inasmueh as false and damaging
fumors concerning the health OF
Morgantown have become somewhat
current, the undersigned deem it but
right iii the interests OF truth and
Justice, to make candid statement
of the facts in the case During the
past year there have been some cases
of typhoid fever. and a very few of
smallpox in Morgantown. Recently
the smallpox has disappeared, and
the cases of fever have increased
There are now about fifty fever pa
tients in Morgantown and It's sub
utbs. This number is not now in
creasIng but it is certainly larger
than it should be. And yet when
we remember that it eomprehends
far less than one per cent. Of our
population, that the cases are mostly
Of mild form, and that but very
few deaths have occurred, there is
no occasion for alarm. The Mayor
and City Council have taken prompt
measures to improve the sanitary
conditions, where, at u few places in
the city, they have been found de
feetive. I he University authorities
are operating for the correction of
any faulty conditions. The city
water supply has been analysed and
found fairly good. Any needed IN
proYement will be speedily made.
The University will supply distilled
water to such students as may pre-
fer to use it. Those contemplating
attendance at the Summer School
need not hesitate on account of the
hygienic situation in Morgantown

! snEPnERDsTowN, June 10.-This
town has been the scene Of the great
est excitement for the past week, and
at present Ii is hard TO tell where it
will end. Forty-theusand railroads
could not disturb the city's quiet SO
much.
The trouble all began over certain
charges OF very grave nature made
/ by the principal Prof. E. f. Goodwin,
against the music teacher, Miss Sa.
/ lone Wingate The sensational ma
/ ture of the accusations caused the cal
| ling together Of the Board OF Regents
with all haste. The father and broJher
Of Miss Wingate also appeared on the
scene.
The charges made by Professor
Goodwin were not sustained by the
evidence and no action was taken.
The people of the town took sides one
waY or the other, and thu students in
/ the Normal School wera also divided.
This stirred up all kinds of trouble,
Saturday afternoon during the Con-
fedeIate Memorial exercises at Elm
wood cemetery, the news came
! that two prominent married women
bad met ia the square and fight en-
sued,
During the fight one of the women
| had her clothing torn from her person
and received the worst Of the fight
throughout When the word was re-
ceiyed at the cemetery, the exercises
came to sudden end and the crowd
gathere dat the scene.
Sheriff Billmyer WAS on hand with
deputy Sheriff Conrad and quieted the
trouble in a way. The trouble is far
from being at an end and something
serious is expected TO take place
at any time. 1t is reported
that the husband of the women
that had the better of the fight has
notified Prof. Goodwin that be must
leave town or he will shoot him. For
the past week the professor has been
accompanied by guard consisting of
] boys Of the senior class Of the school,
! to protect him from any harm. The
work Of guarding the professor is
strictly matter between the boys Of
the school, they having declared that
no harm shall come TO him II they
can prevent it.
All seem to think that the trouble
has Just begun and for this reason the
Sheriff wired Coy. a. B. White and
he received instructions to order out
the Shepherd College cadets to stop
any trouble that might take place
There were about 10 extra officers
on duty Saturday night to prevent
any trouble during the night
Vague rumors Of this trouble have
been afioat in Morgantown for week
or more. No definite information has
been given, however, except that from
State Superintendent Miller to the
effect that the Regents bad failed to
sustain the charges made against the
music teacher.
1t is reported here that Prof. e. Z.
Goodwin has left Shepherstown and is
now at his home at Grafton. He is d
graduate of the University and has
been quite successful in his profession.

TOWN KILLERS.

Town killers says an Oracle,
are classified into seven different
branches, as follows; First,
those who go out of it to do their
shopping; second, those who are
opposed to Improvements; third;
who prefer quiet town to one
of push and business; fourth,
those who imagine they own the
whole town; fifth; those who de-
ride public-spirited men; sixth,
those who seek to injure the
credit or reputation of individ-
uals; seventh, those who take
the town paper and do not pay
for it: There are always a few
town killers in every town, but
fortunately everybody knows
who they are and how to handle
them. .-Ex.

TIE UNvARNIsHED TRUTH.

Com missioner Ware has re-
ceived from veteran of the civil
war an application for a pension
on account of disabilities incur
red in the line of duty, but the
applicant does not hesitate to tell
the truth about the claims he
has on the nations gratitude,
and his right to be placed on the
pension roll. When requested
by the Pension Bureau to specify
the circumstances under which
he incurred physical disabilities,
he forwarded to Washington the
following explanation:
The way I got my war ingery
was ketchn of hog. The Hog
war sow hog and ur captain
wanted her for forege. We was
chasin the SOW, and she craw1ed
threw a hoa1 in a rale fence. 1t
war big hoa1, and l thot I war
about the sis of the hog, and tried
to crawl threw, but I stuk and
trim to wig1e out I throde the
rales off and one hit me on my
he'd and nocked me sense1ess. I
do not think the SOW pig had
nothing to do with my line of
duty, for did not kech the hog.
Wich she never war caut."
An exchange says Commits
sioner Ware should grant the
applicant pension if for no 9TH
er reason than that he is a
truthful man, and scorned to
write hair-raising story rep
resenting himself as hero who,
despite many wounds, carried
the flag over the enemy's works
and in the mouths of flaming
cannon.

Augusta is experiencing a
reaction after a season of corrup-
ton at the polls.
From one extreme to another
is the veriest human nature.
In Augusta for some years the
most corrupt and open 1awless-
ness has characterized every
election. But the reaction has
come. 81
In making it's presentment the
Richmond county grand jury
had some pertinent things to say
anent vote buying and selling,
and made recommendations re-
garding the purification of cleo
tons.
One of these recommendations
was that a mass meeting be held
for the purpose of taking action
looking to to future elections.
The meeting has been called for
July %.
At that time action will be TAX
en- regarding the idea of
having the registration lists
close four months before the e1e-
ction and that all candidates be
required to make oath that they
will not spend money illegally to
secure their election.
After the election it is propos-
ed to have each candidate file a
written schedule of all expendi-
lures.
Incidentally the grand jury
urged the strict enforcement of
laws concerning the carrying of
concealed weapons. Other i'm
portant recommendations were
made in the presentments.

To avoid the harm that might
arise from vague rumors and to
pacify over sensitive people, twas
deemed advisable to remove the
negro that had the case of small
pox (it was of the Han1on Itch
Variety to some isolated house,
and a special policeman was sent
with DR.. Bucher to select a house
that was so isolated as not to
menace anybody's health, and
one that the owner would be will
ing to have used for that pur-
pose, (Which is no small under
taking.) After suitable house
had been found the people of
that neighborhood very natural
ly protested against moving the
patient even in that direction.
Come to think of it the aver
age man would resent the idea of
having a case of small pox 1ocat-
ed within a mile of him, or any
distance that is nearer than the
place of it's origin.
We do not blame the people
who made the protest but we in
sist that we are not responsible
for the selection of the site.

That school commissioner bill
should be promptly killed by the
senate. This is one office that
should be kept out of the hands
OF the politicians.-Darien Ga
zette.
One of the arguments used for
the bill now, Bro. Grub, is that
the Office is in the hands of
the grand jury politicians-but
Weare with you and think
your position correct. We be-
lieve the day is rapidly coming
when bossism in the grand jur-
les of our country will be a thing
of the past-because as the indi-
vldual becomes more educated
and more appreciative of his own
rights, the job of the boss will
disappear. God speed the day
when this shall become true
Telfair Enterprise.
Bossism is a good term. Boss
ed or manipulated grand juries
have disgraced many counties in
Georgia.
The editor of the Enterprise
has tussled with that trouble
some question for several years
and expects to stay in the field
It'll the war is ended.
In too many counties there are
a few professional grand jurors,
men who manage to get on the
jury. Whether drawn or caught,
they are there all too often, pre-
pared to put thro' an endorse
ment or recommendation ,or ,pos-
sib1y, true bill, all under con-
tract or according to a pre-ar-
rangement or agreement with
the manipulators.
A grand jury is one of the
highest tribunals in the Ameri-
can system and should represent
the embodiment of dignity and
honor, but a manipulated grand
jury, like a prostituted woman,
sinks to the other extreme of hui
man esteem.
Jury commissioners should be
carefully selected and Impress
ed with the Importance of their
high Office.
Judges should carefully ex-
clude ineligibles, and strictly re-
quire the service of every man
drawn who has not a legal ex-
cuse, for, as a rule, it is the best
man who, on account of i'm
portant private business seeks
relief from duty and leaves his
place to be filled with some man
who has more time than anything
else or to some professional who
stands in the very path of the
sheriff when he starts to find
jurors to fill the panel, or, pos
sibly, the sheriff himself knows
just where to find one or more
jurors if he is such an officer as
can be relied on by the manipu-
lators.
Give us a strict administration
of the laws governing the se1ec-
ton of grand juries and leave to
them such matters as the Sc
lection of county school com mis-
sioners and many other impor-
tant officers.
