OFF TO SCHOOL.

Nevada County will be well represented iii the different col leges of the state this scholastic year. On last Monday the fol- lowing left this county for school: Floyd Denman, Arthur Sykes, Chas. Tcmpkins, Adam Guthrie, and Misses Irma Hamby and Der tha Hesterly, for the State Uni versity, from Prescott. Dave Martin and Sydney Duke, from Laneburg, Sam Hamilton, from Sutton; Edgar Fruit, from Bluff City.
 For Ouachita College, Arka- delphia, Misses Stella Hirst, of Morris, and Pearl Moore, of Pres colt; Pete Almond, of Hutts.
 For Hendrix, Conway, Gallo way Harrison, of Prescott and Ruell James, of Wallaceburg. Miss Clara Brooks left several days ago for Hardin College, at Mexico, Mo.
 We are truly glad to note that the number of students from this county attending the differ ent institutions of learning is on the increase. The will and pluck of one young man is certainly worthy of mention in this con- nection, that of Edgar Pruitt, a boy of poor parentage, but re- marked as he left that he was determined to have an education if he could secure any kind of manual labor while there. That boy is of the right stuff. Watch him.
 In addition to the above we learned later that the following young people are in school: Lynr Harrell, University, young MT Cotton from near here in the Vi. lonia Holiness College, and Miss Ruby Mendenhall, Henderson College at Philadelphia.

SOW BESIDE ALL WATERS.

The time to make the best and most lasting impression upon the individual is in early childhood. No union is doing it's most affec- tive work unless it has an active loyal temperance legion.
 The w. C. T. U. originated the idea of the scientific temperance instruction in the public schools, and it has secured mandatory laws in every state in the union and federal laws governing the district of Columbia, the terri tories and all Indian and military schools supported by the govern ment. Under these laws fully Is, 900, 900 children in the public schools receive instruction as to the nature and effect of alcohol and other narcotics on the human system.
 The w, C. T. U. secured the insertion of the quarterly tenn perance lesson in the interna- tional Sunday school lesson series and it is estimated that sixteen million children study these and half are pledged to total absti- hence. Through the SC h ool savings bank system, adopted Tn 27 different states and territories since 1889, the school children have deposited as their savings, about $3, 100000. The crusade of the non-alcoholic department against concealed alcohol in pro- prietary and patent medicines resulted in legislation along that line. Progressive physical train ing, as a part of the public school system, has been inaugurated by the department of physical edu- cation.
 The department of literature is one of the most important, as it embraces every other depart ment setting forth the aim anC object of the work attempted and from time to time, giving ; statement of what has been ac. complished, with plans and sug gestions. Millions of leaheti are printed and circulated yearly the printed message being a tell ing one, if ten leaflets only out O | one hundred given out are read | Put your money in good litera ture and give 1t out judieiously | it will bring a good return.

ONWARD MARCH OF PROHIBITION.

The beginning of the year 1907 found the whole world in revolt against the liquor traffic, for the first time in history. America IS more than half free from the saloon, with 30.000,000 people living under prohibitory law. In Canada, England, Scotland, Nor way, Sweden and Australia vast and rapidly increasing territory has driven out the dram shop. From Asia, Australia, Africa and South America comes news of a growing agitation against the liquor traffic.
 There is not a state in the United States that has not laws in some way limiting or restrict ing the liquor business. Not a legislature meets that does not pass laws in some way eurtailing it's privileges; and drawing the lines closer around the liquor business. Four states, Maine, Kansas, North Dakota and Geo. gia have straight prohibitory laws. Oregon, California, Colo rado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois and almost every other state have rapidly increasing prohibitory territory. Oklahoma is to vote soon on state prohibit ton. Prohibition sentiment in the South is growing more rapidly than in any other section of the country.
 Tennessee has only three cities and one small town where liquor can be sold. Georgia only re- gently went dry; and it is almost certain that Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee will follow at the next meeting of their legislatures. Texas is almost ready for a simi- lar step. North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Vir- ginia and Kentucky will not be far behind. Missouri is follow ing rapidly; and it is only a question now of very few years when all the South will be prohibitory territory.
 The liquor men are alarmed as never before. A hundred weekly, fortnightly and monthly news papers and magazines, published in the interest of the liquor busi- ness, join unitedly in one chorus of alarm over the situation.
 Many forces have united to bring about these magnificent results. But in all the land there has been no more efficient force, none that has brought about

Scarcely any patron under stands the regulations regarding the carryinging of packages by rural carriers. There are some things. the very nature of which are not proper subjects for the mail. hence, the carrier may handle such objects as are calcu- lated to iniure the mail, explo- sives, liquids, when not properly cartooned, or bulky articles that weigh more than four pounds, for which the carrier must make charge, but in as much as most of the carriers, out of Prescott especially, have families, they will take most anything you raise on a farm, that's to eat, Tn payment for the service, but don't ask your carrier to bring you out a paper of pins, writing tablet or like articles that are mailable matter, unless you are prepared to pay postage on 1t, because the regulations require the postage to be paid, and are not subject to be handled by the carrier, only as mail matter, and don't get mad at the carrier, be- cause he tells you that you must pay postage, because 1t is thelr duty.

PRESIDENT MURRAY BACK
WENT THROUGH MARTINSBURG
TUESDAY MORNING.
Rumor of His Illness on inspection
Trip Denied Found the System
In Splendid Condition.

President Oscar c. Murray, OF the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad returned
Monday from a two weeks inspection
of the road, including the Baltimore
& Ohio southwestern. He went
through Martinsburg in the morning
Mr.. Murray expressed qualification at
the condition in which he found the
property and was pleased at the bright
prospects for continued heavy ton
mage.
Those in the party returning with
Mr.. Murray were: Messrs. George f.
Randolph, first vice-president; George
l.. Potter, third vice-president; Thorn
as Fitzgerald, general manager; A.
W. Thompson, chief engineer mainte-
nance-of-way; ]. e. Muhlford, general
superintendent Of motive power; ]. D.
McCubbin, jr., real estate agent; D.
d. Carothers, chief engineer; A. NJ.
kinsman, engineer of construction E.
A. Walton, secretary to Mr. Murray ;
George H. Harlan, secretary to Mr..
Randolph; John T. Broderick, secreta-
ry to Mr.. Potter; Richard A. Enman,
secretary to Mr.. Fitzgerald, and E. r..
Sparks, secretary to Mr.. Carothers.
The rumor that President Murray
was taken i'll on the line while on this
trip and compelled to stop at New Cas-
tie, Pa, was denied at his office. A
member Of the party said that the pos
sible occasion of the rumor was the
cutting off of the presidents heavy
car at the junction point, while the
branch line to Fairport was being in
spected.
When seen at his Office Mr., Murray
stated that his two weeks on the road
had been most interesting. He had
covered large part of the system,
he said, including the Baltimore &
Ohio. Southwestern from Parkersburg
to ST. Louis and the northwestern
lines and branches between Chicago
and Pittsburg.
He was we'll pleased with the condi-
ton of the property and also with
the evidences on every side of con-
tinued demand for all available trans
portation facilities.
He was not sick at any time on
the trip, and never had occasion for
a physicians services.

From many parts of the state hear
good reports from the School i'm

forts hope that not only will school
grounds be improved and school rooms
adorned, but that its influence will
reach the homes of our people and
show itself in nice yards, painted
houses, good fences, and in general,
more of the best things of life for
Ithe country home. The teacher can do
much towards improving these physi-
|cal surroundings and when these con-
|ditions are reached we will have not
'only material prosperity, but an intel
|ligent, progressive citizenship, to Gre
Iate, which is the object OF the pub
lie school system.

revealed by investigation,

revealed by investigation, Il may
cases persons have suffered decrease
in their earnings, making their bur-
dens doubly hard to bear. With u.s.
cending prices in the markets for inc
necessities of life, hundreds have
been unable to meet conditions, fore
ing them to unaccustomed hariships
in order to prevent them from SINK
ing under the burden of inflated,
prices.
This condition is unnatural ami m
tolerable, and the inevitable reac!:,n
is as sure to come as that day viii
succeed the night. The recent tinar-
cial difficulties in the money centers
was simply a reflex of the conditions
which have prevailed throughout the
country for some time past, where a
spirit of unrest and anxiety has been
plainly evident. Money is exceedingly
hard to get, and even the Martinsburg
banks, sound as the dollars they han
die, are growing cautious and ultra
conservative.
With money scarce, wages either at
standstill or decreasing, workmen
being laid off from their employment
and other sources OF supply stifled by
stringent conditions, It is but ques-
ton of a short time when a break in
the other direction will come. A les
SEEMING demand for the commodities of
existence will be inevitably followed
by lower prices, while the inability
of wage earners to pay inflated rem
tails for their roofs will force the
landlords to meet the changed condi-
tions.
Thus the situation will be equalized
and the problem of existence for the
people of Martinsburg made easier by
more equitable conditions

WAS LIVELY TILT IN COURT
SENSATIONAL SCENE REPORTED
FROM CHARLESTON.
Spirited Controversy Between Con-
gresham Gaines and Judge Black
Over the Hutson Case.

Congressman Joseph Holt Gaines
Monday asserted his personality as
lawyer in the case of the state Of
West Virginia against Col. A. S. Hut
son, at Charleston, and while threat
ened with election for contempt of
court, retired without injury to himself
or case.
Colonel Hutson, accused of misap-
preparation of the funds of the state,
gets continuance until January %.
The introduction of the title of the
case gave rise to some interesting de-
velopments when Mr.. Gaines asserted
himself, and Judge Henry X. Black,
on the bench, also made remarks
which savored of satire. However, the
state, on the strength Of the illness of
the son OF Hon G. w. Dillon, assist
ant to Prosecutor Avis, asked for a
continuance, and it was granted.
The controversy between Mr.. Gaines
and the Judge was due to the formers
effort to get Col. Illusions bond reduc-
ed from SIS 900, the congressman max
ing number of caustic remarks rel
alive to its alleged excessiveness.

The Problem of Existence.

The problem OF existence in Mar
tinsburg has reached that stage where
many workingmen and others who
labor for fixed salary are facing a
condition that holds many elements
Of concern and anxiety.
During the past year OF two prac-
ticaIly everything that enters lto
their daily lives has increased in
price very appreciable. Meats, yege-
tables, breadstuffs and other table ne
cessities have stiffened in price; coal
and wood, oil and gas have advanced
materially, while rents have scared 10
that point where the poor man fi'lds
himself hard pushed to meet the month
ly visits of his landlord. In the mat
ter Of rents especially have conditions
reached and inflated and exaggerated
degree. Houses that couple Of years
back went begging for desirlnle ten
ants at from So to s12 per month now
command from $40 to $40, while places
that have even a modicum of modern
advantages bring higher figures.
During this entire perloi of inaa-
ton wages have practically been n
a standstill. AS a matter of fact
