SCHOOL MONEY IS
GIVEN TO COUNTIES
IN ENABLING ACT
This Seems to be the Most Serious Defect so
Far Discovered in the Plan Devised
by the Legislature.

dollars, FOR THE SUPPORT OF
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, shall be
paid by every male inhabitant of this
Territory between the, ages of twenty
and sixty years, unless exempted by
law
The money collected under this sec
ton is fund used to support the
public schools of the Territory, and
the public schools are explicitly taken
outside the jurisdiction of the coun-
ties. There is no authority anywhere
to use the money for any other pur-
pose. Accordingly, under the provi-
sions of Section 1 of Act SO. money
that is collected explicitly to maintain
different use It is not probable that
the most enthusiastic county govern
ment man would want to secure it at
the expense of the public schools.
A second defect in Act SO was that
which was revealed when Treasurer
Campbell refused to honor warrant
drawn by superintendent of Public
Works Holloway upon the road board
fund. These warrants have always
been drawn by the Superintendent of
Public Works heretofore, and have al
ways been honored.

AVOID C0NTAClON
and INFECTION


Contagious and infectious diseases are
prevalent. The use of a reliable disinfectant
protects the household. Dusty or damp cor
ners and cracks-nooks behind plumbing
and all spots that can't be reached by the
scrubbing brush. should be freely sprinkled
with a mixture of one 0) part Platt's Chic
rides and ten Q0) parts of water. THIS
diluti0n costs less than 3 cents q quart.
Use it freely in the waste-pipes, sinks and
closets and do not neglect a liberal sprink-
ling of the cellar. To remove Objectionable
odors where sprinkling is inadvisable a
CLOTH wrung out of the dilution mentioned,
should be placed over or near the article.
A little extra care just now may prevent
much sickness and expense. Platt's Chic
rides is an odorless, colorless liquid which
instantly destroys foul odors and disease
breeding matter. 1t has been freely sub
mitted to Physicians, Sanitarians and Boards
of Health for 25 years, and over 10000
written endorsements have been received
from them. It is sold everywhere in full
quarts bottles, and is prepared only by

NEW RAILWAYS FOR VIRGINIA.
Big Corporations Seek Entrance to Goal
Fields.

i 1t appears from what is heard here
in Washington that there are several
deals going on, looking to the construc-
tion of new railroads. which will ma
terialIy effect Virginia.
or course the one that just at this
time is possessed Of the most interest
is the Tidewater Road Whatever may
have been the doubts in the past as
to the intentions of the people behind
it. there is no longer any doubt that it
will be built. Over a hundred miles of
the West Virginia end of it has been
completed, and work has been begun
on a hundred mile section of it in ViT-
ginia.
The road will cross both the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the Norfolk and
| Western. and will break up the control
OF the West Virginia coal fields by
Pennsylvania interests. Last session
OF Congress there was move to have
this monopoly broken up by Congress
| siOnal action, and the entire West
Virginia delegation was behind it.
Bnt the matter went to sleep In a
pigeon hole and is still there. Best des
H. H. Rogers. the Mortons. the Paynes
aud Whltneys are back of the Tide
water, and that is about as great an
aggregation of capital as usually gets
behind railroad enterprise. There is
said to be a probability that bnis new
Virginia, Missouri and Western project.
which is said to have for its end the
construction of a trans continental
road, through Virginia, West Virgin
ia, Kentucky, and on to the Pacific is
connected with the Tidewater enter
prise.
TERMINUS AT QUANTICO.
Another item of interest is that
Henry q. Davis has just completed his
new road, the Coal and Coke, from
Charleston to Elkins. He has now ac-
quired the charter rights of the Burn
vile and Eastern. and is going to build |
from Parkersburg to Burnvine, and |
thence to EIkins. He and the syndi-
cate be represents have acquired over !
400 900 acres of coal lands in that Sec |
tion and propose to develop it. AS |
soon as this work is completed it is said |
that Mr.. Davis will then proceed to |
carry out his pet project of building |
from Elkins east, striking deep water
at Quantico or at Gloucester Point.
1t is said that Quantico is fifty miles
nearer to Elkins than any other point |
on deep water. Statistics show that
it costs 40 of cent mile per ton to
move freight. Computed on this basis
there would be a saving of over $3.50 on
every train carrying $50 tons of freight
if the road were built to Quantico in-
stead of any other point.
Oh D. TO SOUTHEAST
The third matter Of interest is the re-
port that the Cincinnati, Hs milton
and Dayton road is behind the Carter
syndicate, which is engaged in build
ing some new work out in Southw st
Virginia. The information Island it
comes from man who enjoys the con-
fidence of railroad men throughout
the G. Fl. and D. wants
to get into Southeastern territory, and
that it is behind the Virginia and Ken
lucky work in Wise county and ad-
joining territory.
