Dozen Republicans Discuss White Sui.
phur Organization Extension.
Some Gaines Talk.

PARKERSUBRG w. ", Aug. IL
About a dozen Republicans met here
yesterday afternoon at the office of
District Attorney Reese Blizzard. 1t
is understood this was a continuation
OF the recent White Sulphur Springs
meeting, and while no information
was given out concerning what trans.
PRED, 1t is evident from the person
mel of the conference INT the drift
of their general conversation thai the
conference showed no friendship for
Senator Elkins.
One of the newest aspirants for the
Senatorship against Senator Elkins is
said to be Congressman ]. H. Gaines.
Many friendly words were spoken for
him by persons attending this con.
ference. 1t is believed an effort will
be made by the southern element of
the anti-Elkins Republicans to con-
centrate the anti-Elkins strength on
Gaines.
Among those here were C. F. Teter,
OF Philippi; Sam B. Montgomery, of
Tunnelton; ". W. Whyte, Of Mellow
ell county: Reese Blizzard, of Park
ersburg; Geo. c. Mcintosh, of Fayette-
vile; Grant p. Hall, of Charleston;
]. W. Burchinal, of Moundsville; Rob-
ert r. Smith and w. G. Bernheim, of
Mcdowell county; w. B. Hawley, of
Bluefield.
Some of those declared that Elkins'
name was not mentioned. In certain
other circles it is believed an effort
will be made to strengthen the White
Sulphur movement to impress Elkins
so he will recognize the outs in pat
ronage distribution.

EMPIRE B. And
|. ASSOCIATION
HAS RECEIVED ITS CERTIFICATE
OF AUTHORITY AND WILL
SOON OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

A certificate of authority has been
issued to the Empire Building and
Loan Association, of this city. by Sam
uel v. Matthews, Commissioner of
Banking for West Virginia, and It viii
soon be ready for business. ANY cit.
lien OF Fairmont may become a stock
holder in this association. The value
OF each share Is one hundred and thir.
ty dollars, to be paid in weekly install
ments of rs cents per share. The
place and time of payment will be an
nounced later. Subscriptions may be
made through the secretary, Chas. w.
Evans, the attorneys. Showalter and
White, or the treasurer, ]. R. Linn.
The capital stock Of the association
consists Of 1900 shares, and 1t is be.
lieved that the entire amount will be
subscribed in a very short time.
The object of the association is to
encourage industry, frugality and sys.
tematic savings of small sums, and
the loaning Of money to members for
the purpose of building or buying
homes. Perhaps no n class of provi-
dent institutions in this country has
contributed more largely to the ma
terial welfare Of that portion Of our
citizens dependent on a daily wage for
support than have building and loan
associations. Aside from the finan.
cial advantages derived by their
shareholders there is undoubtedly a
large measure Of what have been apt
ly termed the invisible assets" which
may be placed to their credit. First
among the advantages conferred is
that of providing a means whereby
the working man may save for home
building. 1t is almost q truism to say
that the community or State count.
ing among its inhabitants the great
est portion of home owners contains
also the greatest proportion of pros.
porous, contented and conservative
citizens. The home owner acquires
a real and tangible interest in the
community and its welfare, as well as
an increased self-respect and more ele-
waited moral standard. He rises as
well in the esteem of the community,
and to a degree at least, attains eco
nomic independence. Thousands of
homes have been acquired through
these associations by the working
men OF the various occupations, and
their owners have become fixed parts
of their communities, thus making
themselves important factors in the
development of their surroundings.
Let us give our aid to this new indus
try in our midst, and make it not only
a benefit to the individual member or
stakeholder, but a factor for the i'm
provement of the city.

Another feature, which will go on

decorations were emblematic Of the
order and its qualities could only be
described by tasting it.

aAMoNG OUR BEST CITIZENS"
Mr., II. L.. Goodwin Explains That
Messrs. Holland and Skinner
Have Been Placed in
False Light.

To the Editor:-In reference to the
article Of news that was printed IN
our paper on the morning or the
9th inst, from Dunn. in which
Messrs. J. r. Holland and +. p. J..
5kinner of the Skinner-Holland Drug
Co. were implicated in the blind tiger
ing, | beg to say that both the above
FAMED gentlemen are among our best
itizens. They represent high stand
ing families of this place and are now
,peratingt the most nicely arranged
md attractive drug store in the town.
The article published was not sent
by your regular correspondent
lere, and l am persuaded to believe
hat some one troubled himself to
send in this piece of news hoping that
[ would either inf'lre their drug bust
less or Mr. Hollands chances to be
appointed postmaster at Dunn, as he
IS q very prominent candidate.
/ am informed that the anti-saloon
eague here raised funds to prosecute
md drive out the blind tigers. but for
some unknown reason the Skinner
holland drug people became the first
.ictims, being indicted for the sale of
lept in stock as a tonic and for medi-
cal purposes.
The witnesses examined by the
State said that the malt had no in
oxicating effect and the court dis
missed the case heard by him. and
upon the trial of the next case the
curt said that there was no evidence
70 convict produced by the witnesses
md announced that he would ask the
state chemist to analyze the contents
If the bottle of malt, and the case was
continued. These gentlemen were the
only people indicted before the JUS
