The policy announced recently by
the Pennsylvania Lines in regard to
causing the officials who occupy hous-
es Owned by the railroad to pay rent,
does not affect any of the officials in
this city, as only one, Supt. Neff, lives
in company house, and he pays
rent
In several cities, the high officials
occupy houses belonging to the rail-
road company and pay no rent. They
frequently receive free light and
water and railroad employees to at
tend to the house and grounds. This
practice is not followed in this city.
1t is the policy of the company to
enable the officials to live in homes
BETTING their station, and where
these homes cannot be secured by the
official, they are usually bought by
the railroad and then rented, oftime
at nominal rate, to the railroad
men. In this city, the Pennsylva-
mia Lines owns the house formerly oc-
cupied by James A. Carr, in the West
colt Block.

MIR. MOODY'S JOB.

Attorney-G General Moody has been
conscripted to- make tariff plank for
the republican platform I'm Massa-
chusetts. and although the conven-
tion is not to be held until October
5 he has already begun the work
The time is probably not too long
This used to be but fve-mlnute
job In Massachusetts, but since the
revisionists became clamorous It
hasn't ben advisable In Massachu-
sets to hew out tariff planks with a
broadax
1t used to be that that party had
only to make a bold and boastfuI
declaration OF its adherance to the
principle OF trade exclusion. Now II
has become otherwise; to write a
republican tariff plank which will be
prudent in Massachusetts calls for
a feat Of words that would extort
AN exclamation OF delight from even
Talleyrand
There is wisdom I'm the selection
OF Mr.. Moody for the task Mr.. Moo
dy labored many days last winter
to draw up a "court review amend.
ment which would satisfy all fac
tions Of the rate-bill controversy.

bly, got such practice 40 makes II

A CHANCE TO
BEAT SLEMP.

IL is believed by the party leaders
throughout the State that Hon. Rob
ert p. Bruce. the Democratic candi-
date for congress in the Ninth dis
trict, stands an excellent chance of
defeating his opponent. Colonel
Slemp. although the battle will be
waged unrelentingly to the bitter
end.
The district has been Republican
for years. but Colonel Slemp OF late
has been losing popularity. More
over there are things in his life
which forcibly demonstrates the fact
that he is Indifferent TO the respect
of the temperance people The Dem
ocrats have been quick to seize upon
this point, and they Will undoubted.
ly make it serve good purpose.
Mr.. Bruce has another thing in
his favor-all the press OF his dis
trict, save one little campaign pa
per, is fighting for his election.
Before the battle is over the Dem.
ocrats will send their best orators
to the Ninth. and. In addition to
this. a steady knocking is being kept
up by the district chairman. Hon.
j. F. Wyson. one of the best OF
workers and organizers.
In the Fifth district nobody is
seriously apprehensive as to the
chances OF the Democratic nominee
Judge f.. w. Saunders, but all the
same the district will be carefully

NEGRO 1000
YEARS BEHIND
THOMAS DIXON SAYS THAT THE
SITUATION DEMANDS
COLONIZATION


The Atlanta riots are the most se-
rious events i'm the relation OF the
races since the period OF reconstruc-
tion. For the first time Southern
men have slain the negro In blind
fury because OF crimes committed by
representatives of the race.
IL is the beginning OF an irrepres-
sible conflict, which can only end
when the negro race is removed by
colonization.
The Southern people do not see
this as yet. but they will soon.
The negro is one thousand years
behind the white man i'm the evolu-
lion of humanity.

that two such races cannot live to-

THE OUTLOOK

EARNEST DEMOCRATS CONFER
IN CHARLESTON.

A large number OF earnest and de-
termined democrats. representing
practically every portion of West
Virginia, assembled In the parlors of
the Hotel Runner. in Charleston, ON
Wednesday, for the purpose of con
ferring with each other, and for
hearing reports from the different
sections of the state as to the poll
tical conditions In each of the sever
al counties
without single exception. the
gentlemen who attended the confer.
euce stated that the great masses
of the voters, without rebard To
political Affections, are not only tired
OF, but absolutely disgusted with the
Elkins-Dawson machine now RUM
ing this state. and i'm no section are
voters found who are giving any real
support to the candidates nominal
ed by the republican rings, except
those who are holding fat jobs un-
der the present national and state
administrations
From what could be gathered
from those who participated i'm the
conference yesterday, and last night,
the outlook for democratic success
looks exceedingly favorable. and II
appeared TO be the concensus OF
opinion that democratic legislature

The earthquakes at San Francisco
and Valparaiso not only seem to have
wrought tremendous damage on
land, but to have moved the very
foundation of the deep. A bran new
island is reported to have risen,
fsmoking and steaming Srom the
waters of Behring sea. The recent

that familiar ocean currents have
ben detected from their wonNd
courses. presumably by earthquake
movements of the ocean bed. Those
who go down to this sea In ships

THE HATFIELD
AFFAIR

the famous Cap" Hatfield and his
brother, DR.. T. r. Hatfield. at Whar-

That the trouble came about over
"a business matter, and bad feeling
had existed for some time. On We'd
nesday morning they met near
Wharncliffe and after some words.

tol and Cap" with winchester.
The Doctor was the better marksman
and Cap" fell mortally wounded
~fhen followed a long discourse of
the Hatfield-McCoy feud. and the
direful deeds OF Cap" The whole
account purports to be dispatch
from Williamson.
The facts in the case are these
There has been trouble between the
Hatfield brothers lately, and shots
We're exchanged, but neither of them
were hurt. Other members OF the
family from Logan county passed
through here Saturday on their way
20 Wharncliffe. and it is expected
that the matter will be amicably set

The detailed account of the old
feud, as related in these papers, is
nearly all the product Of some ones

here who are thoroughly familiar
With the whole Hatfad-Mc
trouble. This matter has always
been exaggerated. and people gen

these mountains are full of fierce

talk has done a great injustice to
the people Of the mountains and f.
an injury to the business develop-
ment of the region as well. Our
people as rule. are. and always
have been, as peaceable as those OF
any other section of the country.
