Fatal Shooting Accident.

A sad accident of which Travers
hedges, young telephone operator in
the employ of the jefferson County
Telephone Company, was the victim.
occurred at the company exchange in
Charles Town, Thursday hight. Young
Hedges with companion. William
Hesser, were at the telephone exchange
just before midnight, the latter ,bay-
ing dropped in to keep the operator
company for short while. The two
young men as pastime began to shoot
at mark, with revolver, on the rear
wall of the building. One or two SHOTS
were fired, after which the revolver. a
~ calibre weapon, failed to discharge.
Young Hedges tried the revolver a
number of times, and apparently be-
ing convinced that all of the cartridges
had been exploded, turned the weapon
towards his head and pulled the trio.
ger again, at the same time testing
with his companion about the un GER
tainty OF its firing To the horror of
both, the weapon went off; the bullet
entered young Hedges brain, and he
fell unconscious to the floor. His death
followed in about SIX hours after the
accident. Travers, who was a son OF
the late VIM. Hedges, was about "A
years Of age, and was popular young
man.-Charlesto~n Advocate.

Hon. Henry G. Dauis made speech
in Charleston the other evening before
the senate and house committees on
railroads, in the hall of the latter
branch of the legislature. The Senator
was very conservative in his remarks,
but at the same time made strong
plea TO the legislature to be lenient to-
ward the railroads in their legislation.
He presented figures to show the rapid
development that has been made in
this state the last few years. The eX-
hibit showed that railroad building in
this state in the past fifteen years had
increased 96 per cent as against four
teen in Ohio in the same time, and p
per cent in Pennsylvania. While these
gratifying statistics are doubtless true,
it is true also that all this railroad
b.iIding would not have taken place
| had it not been q certainty that there
was a demand for the expenditure OF
so much capital in railroads. West
| Virginia has the weslth and the rail-
roads were con structed to carry the
states general mineral products to the
markets. The men who put their
money in railroad construction did so
because they saw big returns from such
an investment. The business being
profitable W by should not the railroads
bear their share of taxation in exact
| proportion TO the profits in the bust
ness they are engaged in as well as the
farmer CT the manufacturer pay on the
property IN which their have their
money Invested? The railroads are en-
titled to fair treatment. 1t is good pub
lie policy that they should be given
that. But they should not expect to
be favored alb, We other industrial en-
terprises that require capital to run
them. Mr.. Davis expressed fear that
railroad building might be discouraged
if the state exacted too much tribute
from them in the way of taxes. Mr..
Davis,s party, he should remember,
has INDUCED in a great deal of crti-
cism of the Republican party Tor It's al
legei fa3oritism of railroads and other
corporations. And now when the Re
publican state administration shows a
disposition to require the railroads
to pay what would seem to be fair and
lust proportion or the burdens of gov
ernment, the ex-senator lifts up a spec
ial plea for the railroads. This is an
uDdisputed proposition. But from the
returns showing their net earnings
their owners are making money enough
out of their business to pay an equal
share of the taxes and thus help to con,
tinue the prosperity of the state OF
which they are certainly getting their
portion, especially those that own part
of the coal mines out of which they
are reaping millions of protits.-Cen-
trail Republican.

Does i, Pay TO Raise n nox.

Som ebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for livelihood until the
age Of p costs them $1,000. On this
basis of calculation brood, for in
stance of six boys would represent au
outlay of $24, 900 by the time they get
away from the home roost.
The question arises. Does it pay to
raise boys, and are there no other crops
that would prove more profitable? If
boy turns out to be cigarette tiend,
with a breath like a turkey buzzard
and laugh that would make the I'M
tutored donkey feel perfectly at home
IN his society, with an untarnished
and unconquerable desire to avoid
work, it is safe to say that his parents,
might have invested their $4,000 to
he ter advantage.
But If the boy grows up to manhood
with the lesson well learned that
wealth and success grow only on bush
es watered by the sweat of ones brow
the pa-cnts need not begrudge what
ever they have spent on him, for he
will be source of increasing pride and
JOY to their hearts, and when they
grow old and their step is slow and
faltering they will have two stroRg
arms to lean upon and help them over
all the rough places that lie in theil
twilight path.-EXchange.
