Seud Your Apples.

Mr.. s. w. Moore, who is ia charge
of the West Virginia exhibits at the
jamestown Exposition, has written to
Mr.. Alex Clohan saying that fruit is
coming in very slowly. Mr.. Clohan
urges that all fruit growers in the coun-
ty send him at least one box of apples.
The boxes, tags and instructions can
be secured by calling at Mr.. Cloban Is
residence. No. 200 South Raleigh street
The senders should put their names on
the boxes, so that they will get credit
for it, and wrap each apple in news
paper.
The fruit will have fine display at
the exposition. Mr.. Clohan again urged
that all fruit growers cooperate 10
help Mr.. and Mrs. Moore make this
show a grand success, and one that
will do credit to the county.

Stop Drinkiug on Cars.

Conductors on B. d o. trains have
been notified that they must immedi-
ately arrest any passenger caught in
the act of drinking liquor on the cars.
This is in compliance with recent act
which went into effect short time
since.
The travelling public-that is the
better class of those who spend money
with the railroad ompanies-will not
relish the law, for drinking on trains
has become among those who use the
stuff a rather favorite stunt. Many of
the regular travellers ca''t sleep at
nightIwithout small drink from their
vial and others never feel well when
they arise on the sleepers without the
same remedy.
The object of the law il to prevent
rowdyism on trains, which endange
the lives, especially of the lady passen
gers. In some sections it is hardly safe
for women to travel alone on account
of the actiJus of the drunken men who
are always to be found in the cars.

Will Have No Options.

Mr.. Aler requests US to en-
phatically state that neither his eli
ents or himself are interested in any
way and do not intend to be, With any
options. The same plan will be adopted
and carried out for the trolley project
as was done for the bridge PROPOSE
ton, and Mr. Aler insists that mas
much as his prediction and work have
been substantially demonstrated with
the bridge project, that this should
substantially satisfy the people as to
the trolley project.
Mr.. Aler also suggests one telling
point, in effect that it will be impos-
sible to establish two trolley lines, and
that the right thing for every man il
Berkeley county to do, who is inter-
ested in the welfare of the county, is
to unite and cooperate. By so doing
outside capital will accomplish what
they might otherwise be unable to do.

The new sixteen hour law for rail-
roads it seems is to be great benefit to
the town of Martinsburg in that it will
compel the B. & o. railroad to let
their men lay over here at the expira-
ton of sixteen hours, 1t requires that
all railroad men shall takd ten hours
rest after working sixteen hours and
all railroad men say with confidence
born of positive knowledge that there
can he no arrangements made with
out giving gthe men lay over here.
This will practically make Martins
burg the end of the division again and
Will bring many men to make their
homes here who now live,i Brunswick
OF Cumberland.
In the light of this information it
seems that there must be considerable
truth III the statement that there is
big thing in store for Martinsburg from
the b & o.
i the men lay over here they will
Undoubtedly, in pursuance of the pol
icy Of the road, provide a place for the
nleD to rest and at the same place pro-
vide a school Of instruction for the men
to learn the technicalities of railroad
ing and the present station would be
admirably suited, after thorough rem
ovation and remodeling, for such a
place. In that event the long needed
new station. will be necessity and
will likely come.

Beer Saves Ohio Crops.

Harvest hands are so scarce in Ma.
rion, o., and surrounding country that
farmers are forced to pay 81 a day and
furnish cool beer instead of water to
drink. Scores of harvesters have de-
manded the amber fluid, and to get
their threshing done as quickly as pos
sible, many farmers have met the de-
mand.
Farm hands practically are pro-
hibitive quantity in the Marion Sec
ton of Ohio and the only class the
farmers can draw from Is the tramps.
These refuse to work simply for the
money, but when the farmers offered
cool beer, as an additional inducements
the hoboes fiocked to work.

MR. ALER ON THE TROLLEY
His Synidate is Ready to Meet
the Property Owners.
WILL NOT SECURE OPTIONS

the owners and No Speculation

Relative to the trolley road which it
is proposed to build between Martins
burg and Williamsport, a representa-
tive of The Statesman called on Mr., f q.
Vernon Aler, the attorney for the syn
dicate. and had a lengthy interview
with him. Mr.. Aler is frank and open
in making his statements, and there is
no doubt but that the trolley line will
eventually be built. Mr.. Aler assured
the reporter that the bridge project at
Williamsport is virtually settled, and
that in less than six weeks work will
be commenced on the construction of
the bridge.
Mr.. Aler states that conference
with his clients several days ago, and
who are determined to commence OPP
erations on the trolley, they decided to
take the entire public into their conf
dence with view of interesting any
and all who were in favor of the troll
ley line; and that they simply intend
to put the proposition up to the PEG
pie generally. 1t is their purpose to
give due notice to all land owners and
business men that they do not intend
to deal in the way of options; that
their plan will be to make the survey,
and as quickly as the route is decided
upon, they will endeavor to buy the

Meeting of Land Owners.

AS soon as the survey has been
they will call a meeting to
be held in Martinsburg, of all the land
owners and get them to determine
upon a fair price. If this can be done,
the deeds will be Immediately execut-
! ed and the money paid over. This
will bring all the land owners togeth-
er and aid in fixing equitable prices
for their respective lands. If this can
not be done, that will settle the troll
ley proposition.
Mr.. Aler says that they wish it dis
timely understood that they are not in
|terested with any one who may be en-
gagged in procuring options, and that
he would warn the land owners
against executing the same, as there
|can be but one conclusion name
|ly that some third party is at
tempting speculation and they will
|ether succeed or defer the building
|of the trolley, probably one or more
years, in which event not only the
land owners, but the city of Martins
|Durg is bound to suffer. He says that
|there can be no other conclusion, and
|no other trolley, from the fact that the
Potomac bridge will serve as the con
meeting link and will only accommo-
I1ate one line

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE ?

A gentleman came in from the
country on Sunday, got under the
influence Of whiskey and next
day.his body was lifeless. From
what bar-room was this intoxicant
dispensed ? Somebody is respon-
sible. Have our officials made an
attempt to locate the law offending
saloons e? Officials are answerable
to the people who elected them
and should they fail to use every
means to locate the offenders they
should be turned down. A good
business man has been killed and
the wife and child must suffer.

the other candidates on that ticket,
was presided over by eX-Gov. W.

the State when the rectliiers
soughtsto have the Courts declare
unconstitutional the act of the
Democratic..G eneral Assembly
placing tax of 1t cents on each
gallon of their product.
Another conspicuous leader of
their party, who was only detain-

from his sick bed, had much to do
with the conduct of the cOnven-
ton, was Hon. John W. Yerkes,

NOT ON MERIT.

To us an honest Republican said.
our hopes of election is through
isms within Democratic ranks.
Such a statement is an admission
that the Republican party does not
hope to elect their candidates by
any merit of their own.
Whatever wrongs may come to
pass, through any acts of Demo
Gratis will be corrected by that
party. They have never failed to
do this and that without help of
Republicans.
