The Extra Session a Success.

The State of West Virginia is to be
congratulated upon the assured pass
age OF practically all OF the tax bills.
which the Legislature was called into
extra session to consider. 1t goes
without saying that the work of the
Legislature will, as whole, meet
the approval of the executive. and be-
come the law OF the State. The sub
stantia1 reforms enacted are, first, the
large reduction Of the State tax on
land and personal property; second,
the imposition of largely increased
taxes on the liquor business, the in
heritance tax, new plan of assess
ment that VIII largely increase the
taxes of corporations generally, and
the creation OF a State tax commits
sion.
These things alone, while they are
by no means the full tax reform pro-
gram as advocated by the tax COM
mission and Governor White, repre-
sent a splendid victory for the tax
reform cause. No legislative session
the past twenty years has done more
for West Virginia than the present
extra misunderstanding News.

Our neig hbor seems to be getting a
great deal ofScomf fort out Of a CARRIED
editorial which it took from the West

many people in this vicinity, who are
1.-the Republicans had to contend with
in times past, and SO for their benefit,
and at the request OF one of our val
ued subscribers, we reproduce an edi-
torial which appeared in the FaiTmont
Index, the foster mother Of the Times,
in the fall Of 1892. The County Com
missioner referred to was S1r. 3. D.
Fleming, one of our most highly es-
teemed citizens:
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount of the votes cast for
the office of County Commissioner.
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the result for
every officer on the ticket except
Commissioner, and the result is stated
III our tabulated statement found in
another column. We have tried to
make this table correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit
ton ticket gives him a. majority Of
ten on the face Of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is 50 SMALL
THAT IT CAN EASILY BE OVER
COME BY A RECOUNT. The work
Of counting of the votes is very slow,
ard it viii require several days to
complete it. 1t is understood thattNir.
T. a. Fleming, who was defeated on
the face of the returns for the Office
of Justice of the Peace OF this dis
trict. viii demand a recount of the
votes for that Office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any
other Office, and doubtless there will
be none, for the .najcrities are SO
large that they could not be affected
by recount unless some gross irreg-
ularity was found and nothing of that
sort is charged and none exists. The.
recount for commissioner will take
at least all OF this week.-Fairmont
Index.
Of course. Mr.. B. D. Fleming was
counted out according to the Demo
cratic program, as other Republicans
had been before as we'll as afterwards.

Is the Sound.

Democrats from, this part of the
state and conservative Democrats
from ell parts of the state are glad
that the plank faYoring the disfran-
chisenent Q. the negro has been
thrown out OF the party platform. In
the first place it's bad politics, but
Infinitely more important than that,
IFS all wrong. And the advocates of
the measure see that it's wrong. Il
was not the belief that it was poor
politics that defeated this measure.
Democrats don't retreat for that rea-
scr. Those favcrina the measure
Simply realized that they were wrong.
And nos half those favored the lily
white plank that we're said to do so.
They were but few in number. There
was never any real danger of the
adoption OF the plank. The Demo-
cratic party, true to its beliefs and
principles, merely listened to opin-
ions of it's members. The measure
was defeated, because there were not
enough WHO favored Heterogeneous

The NEW LINE
WILL SOON
BE THROUGH

Thomas Fitzgerald, general super
intendent of the'B. & o., came in this
morning on No. 8, and with Superin-
tendent U. B. Williams went up$over
the G. & 3. division as far as Tyg-
art Junction, from which point they
will go over the new line that is soon
to connect Buckhannon with the Graf
ton and Belington lines. There re-
mains but only about one and a quar-
ter miles of track to lay to complete
the line OF railroad through from
Grafton to Buckhannon, and large
territory lying contingent to the lat
ter point. Mr.. Fitzgerald expressed
the opinion while here that the cars
could be running between Pickens
and Grafton by. the latter part OF Sep
TENDER. 1t is also understood that in
addition to the large amount of
freight that will be hauled over the
new road, which has heretofore gone
by way of Weston and Clarksburg,
there will be included in the passen-
ger service through train from
Pickens to Pittsburg, adily, by way
OF Grafton. The new road promises
to add very much to the business in
terests OF our city and bring to our
a nice line of new trade

WAKE Up,
Mr.. BROWN
FAiRMONT FANS WOULD LIKE
VERY MUCH TO SHOW THE
MORGANTOWN AGGREGA-
T!ON SOME BALL PLAY
ING.

Well, it seems that Manager Brown,
of the Morgantown's, can not be in
duced to come to town and meet
Slack's bunch It's blamed funny
why two towns in such close prox-
unity with good fast ball teams can
not get together. 1t isn't funny to
the local fans at that. But what is
funny is that man with such a
streak as Brown has would be al
lowed to manage the affairs Of a
club.
Slack calls him up by phone every
once in a while and asks him if he
won't please give him game. Brown
always has some excuse framed up.
and a baby one at that.
Why don't some OF the fair-ninded
Morgantown enthusiasts demand
Browns removal, or at least put a
little nerve in his carcass by telling
him that his team has a fighting
chance against Fairmont? We guar
antee that it won't be such an over
whelming defeat as Brown seems to
fear; in fact Fairmont fans seem to
have a better opinion of Morgan
towns team than their own man
ager has.
An effort is being made to sign
Tom Buckannon, the Benwood pitch
er and inflelder. Buck" is very
fast and people in his home town be-
lieve he is better than Eddie Nc
nichols, now in Boston. He is a Pc
culiar fellow and will play ball only
when the notion strikes him, all ef-
forts TO induce him to play being
fulfil. He has turned down several
good offers from minor league teams.
The Lawrenceville team, which
plays here tomorrow, will arrive
here tonight.

sion OF about fifteen working days,
will command the hearty approval
of the people of the State, in whose
There was no lilly-dallying. but on
the contrary its work has been char
acterized by zeal and industry and
a careful examination of the measures
acted upon. Nothing was hurried or
CLOSED over, as the bills were sub
jected to rigid scrutiny and vising
in committee, where they We're scan
ned line by line. With the good
work accomplished in behalf of the
taxpayers the members of the body
are to be commended, for in the pas
sage of the bills submitted to them
they have carried out the pledges Of
the Republican platform and fulfill
ed the promises made to those who
favored reform in the present sys-
TEN OF taxation.
The bills passed will have removed
SIS per cent. of direct State taxes by
the year 1907, and all OF the direct
tax would have been abolished but
for the obtuseness and obstinacy of
the minority in defeating the propos-
ed constitutional amendment. AS it
is but cents of the tax will remain in
1907.
We have heard a great deal about
the cost of the extra session, but it
does not begin to compare in cost and
character to the extra session under
a Democratic administration, which
had for its object the defeat of the
Will of the people for the sake of par
ty p-imacy. The present extra ses-
sion under an enlightened Republican
administration stands out for an eco
nomic reform that will benefit the
Democratic and Republican taxpayers
alike. However, the partisan charge
of cost does not hold, for the present
session has paid its own expenses, an
proNimately $4,000, by abolishing the
law which permitted the sheriffs of
counties to supply a guard for every
prisoner taken to the penitentiary.
extraordinary expense will be saved
to the State in one years time, and
the passage of this one bill, to say
nothing of many others of like char.
acter, will be an Offset against the
money paid out for the extra session.

way approaching such an achieve
