Who's Responsible?

A reader of The ARGUS, who evil
IDENTITY has a keen sense Of the ludi-
crous, writes and asks: "Is the
White gubernatorial boom which
was started in Kingwood by Bill
Dawson and the Jim committee re-
sponsible for the cloudburst and the
devastationswhich has overwhelmed
us poor people1 III it is | want no
no more spontaneous movements
in Preston county until / can cross
the line and get out of the reach Of
such evil spontaneity."
We are not sufficiently versed il
Spontaneous movements" to ven
ture an opinion as to whether the
White gubernatorial boom so an
gered the elements that they let
open the food gates. There is one
thing certain, however, and that is
that the downpour exceeded the out
pouring.
We have observed by the tone of
the press that the White boom has
caused considerable discussion that
you do not meet with In the usual
places OF worship. 1t has also been
the means of renewing old acquaint-
ances amongst the newspaper fra
ternitY who are in nowise stint in
throwing boquets at each other il
the boon" struck them favorably.
If i: did not they omit the formality
of an introduction and proceed to
hunt past records.
Bro. Reed, of the Republican,
who is reckoned as an historian,
makes the editorial statement that
"the White boom is making history"
as it travels leisurely along the by.
paths and bywsys. Whether it will
gather in sufficient volume and cause
another cloudburst in some other
part of TIE state remains to be seen.
If it does not we are inclined to
think that the roar and thunder of
the White gubernstorial boom was
of too short a duration to reach the
clouds.

Four to One.

Preston county has four Repub
lican newspapers well patronized aud
prospecting we hope. THE ARGUS is
the only Democratic newspaper in
the county and we hope that our
Democratic brethren will give il
that support which a minority paper
must have to keep its head above
water and keep the wolf from the
door.
III -four Republican papers can
flourish in Preston we see no good
reason why one Democratic paper
cannot.
We feel more than encoura xed by
the many kind words and the sub.
stantial patronage which we are re.
ceiving. II we have been little
SLOW IN getting into ths political
harness our excuse is that we were
not sufficiently familiar with the
Preston soil to begin stalking off a
claim. We have at last staked our
claim and from this out we propose
to do considerable grubbing.
We are making a special effort to
give the people a local paper which
records the doings in the different
towns and localities each week. We
have an excellent corps of CORE
spondents who are covering their re-
spectIve localities admirably.

We have no Photographic rec
ord of what Senator Scott said
when he read about the "spon.
taneous movement" in Kingwood,
but it is fair to presume that Scott
was not impressed with the genu.
ineness of the spontaneity when
he learned that Dawson had an
eye on his senatorial toga. How
these Republicans do hate to part
with their offices.
