West Virginia Items.

Capt. John S. Burdett, one Of the
most prominent citizens of Charleston,
this State, died on Monday.
The West Virginia School Journal
has changed hands, Superintendent
Thomas G. Miller having sold it to
Professors Waitman Barbe and r. a.
Armstrong. The Journal formerly
has been published in Charleston, but
beginning with the May issue it will
be sent from the Morgantown post
Office. The form of the paper is to be
changed.
At the city election in Parkers-
burg on Tuesday the Democrats
elected their entire city ticket
and carried every ward in the city
but one, electing seven out of eight
councilmen. 1t is the greatest Demo-
cratic victory ever achieved in Park
ersburg. The riotOus Republican
convention of last Saturday disguised
many Republicans, who refused 10
vote on Tuesday.
A short time ago circular letter
was sent out from the University to
the various county superintendent
of public schools in West Virginia,
proposing a plan tor the improvement
of at least one country school lot IN
every county, the work to be done
under the direction of the Expert
ment Station, and to be wholly free
of charge to the schools benefited.
Quite a number of county superln-
tendents have already taken an active
interest in this work, and are select
ing the schools in their various coun-
ties which they will designate for I'M
provement. So far three schools
have been chosen, and the dates fixed
for the planting OF the trees and
shrubs and the laying out of grounds.
On April l6 the school grounds at
Metz, in Marion county, will be put
in order by Professor 7. c. johnson,
University Horticulturist. On April
10 Mr. Fred Brooks, of the Expert
ment Station, will fix up the grounds
about the Central School in Green
brier county, aud on April 80 at the
Sinks Grove school in Monroe county.
At each place in the evening after the
trees and shrubs are planted, there
will be an educational meeting. The
school grounds in one or two more
counties in the State will probably be
improved this spring, and next fall
quite number OF them. The whole
purpose Of the movement is to arouse
an interest in the identifying of rural
schoo! grounds by making one model
school ground in each county, and by
getting as many prominent school
people as possible interested in this
work. Most of the public school
grounds in West Virginia are barren
aud unattractive, and some Of them
are dirty and repulsive. 1t Is hoped
that everybody will encourage this
movement to bring about better
condition of things in West Virginia.

The Republicans of Jefferson coun-
ty will hold a mass convention at
Charles Town on Saturday of this
week, when delegates to the State
convention will be chosen. The lead
ers ard Office holders have been
Boosting that they will choose a solid
Teter delegation from this county,
but among those Republicans who
are alive to the real interests of the
party and seek to promote the well
fare of the people there is a strong
desire to endorse Dawson and his
stand for tax reform. Whether they
will make stand on Saturday for
these principles remains to be seen,
but they onght to do it. Mr.. Daw-
son is pledged to take up the tax re-
form movement where Governor
White leaves it. He favors the re-
moval of the State tax on real estate
and personal property and placing it
on the railroads, coal operators, oil
and gas interests and similar corpor-
ations. Mr.. Teter as a signer of the
protest against tax reform has al
lied himself directly with the
monopolists and with those interests
that are distinctly against an agricul,
tural community such as ours. He
ought not to have the Jefferson county
delegation, and it is up to the think
ing Republicans to prevent it on Sat.
urday.

IF the Republicans Of West Vir-

Mr.. DAWSON is pledged to take up
tax reform where Governor White
leaves it. This is why the Repub-

WORDS Of wisdom have fallen from
the lips Of John L. Sullivan. In one
terse sentence he says: mo man can
whip whiskey." There has probably
never been better specimen of phys
icsl strength in this country than
Sullivan. Possibly no man has ever
put down whiskey oftener. Now that
he is prematurely old from intemper-
ance and excess, broken down, poor
and feeble, he is in a position to speak
from bitter experience and is himself
an object lesson OF the truth Of his
aphorism. His brutal life shall not
have been lived in vain if his words
shall burn themselves into the brains
of men generally and they shall realize
that he speaks truly when he says
"NO man can whip whiskeY."
