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 recen 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 and the drift
of their general conversation that 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. W. Whyte, of Mellow
ell county; Reese Blizzard, of Park
ersburg; Geo. G. 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 1t 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
l. 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 will
soon be ready for business. ANY cit
izen 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 it 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 one 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 fnan.
cial advantages derived by their
shareholders there is undoubtedly a
large measur 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 a 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.

Mimic fights with tops are common.
Two players wind and throw their tops
so that they will come into collision, and
he whose top is damaged or stopped
from spinning is the loser. The tops for
these fights are made of very hard wood,
and are iron-clad with a heavy metal
ring. Some Of the more ordinary spin
ming tops are of light make. A singular
kind of top is made of one-valve she'll
filled with wax. Musical tops, made to
produce notes in different keys, are
general favorites, and the whipping top
also is known.-Ida Tigner Hodnett, in
