NEW MARTINSvILLE. Aug. 10
Is New Martinsvine to be the ter
minal of the Fairmont and Manning
ton trolley line? According to the
report brought back to the city by a
well known business man, and who
is in a position to know, such is the
case.
The road is now in the course of
construction between Fairmont and
Warrington. AS soon as the road is
completed to Warrington 1t is to be
extended to smithaeld and eventual
ly to New MartInsville.
According to the information re-
ceived the men who are building the
road have looked with favorable
eyes upon the proposed extension OF
the trolley line to Smithfeld and or
to New Martinsville, giving them an
outlet to the Ohio river. smithfield
is the halfway place between New
Martinsville and Clarksburg, there
being but one-tenth of mile differ
ence between this city and clarks-
burg.
Such road would follow the Fish
ing Creek valley the entire way,
passing through Jacksonburg, Hast
ings, Pine Grove. Reader and a num-
ber of other small towns.

Dead

We are again called upon to
chronicel the death of another
one of our citizens, Mr.. M. F.
Ames, who departed this life
on Wednesday at about O'Clock
at his late home. One of our
best citizens and most familiar
forms has passed from US and it
So hard for US to realize the fact.
Mr.. Ames was a man Of many
noble traits Of character and a
consistant member Of the M, b.
Church. He was about II years
old having lived here every since
a youth of 5 or 6years. He was
the, last of the original Ames
family, whose days were spent
in this community. The funeral
was conducted at the Methodist
Church at 4:3O yesterday even
ing. Rev. r. HI. E. Gladney his
pastor officiating and the inter
ment at the Odd Fellows Gem
etery. Business of all kinds was
suspended out of respects for his
memory during the last sad rites.
He leaves a widow, sons and
daughters, a large circle OF rel
atives and friends to moarn his
untimely loss. We surely un lte
with friends in sympathy for the
stricken and bereft in this their
hour of anguish and sorrow.
Mr.. Ames was charter mem
of Pearl Lodge No. 226. K. & l..

to the Auditors office, / will so conduct
it as to merit the approval of the peo-
pie. The law limits the term of the
State Treasurer and the State Auditor
to four years and prohibits one from sue
ceeding the other. This is done on &C
count of the fact that one of these offi-
GERS handles vast sums of public money
and the other is the accountant and
must account with those who handle
the States funds. In the judgement OF
the makers of our new Constitution,
this law was deemed wise and for the
besJ interest of the people, and that
there might not be any trouble with the
States finances. This law, of course,
clearly contempiates that every TOUR
wears the people should elect some man
not connected with and one who has not
been a bookkeeper in the Auditors office
so that there would be real change
such a change as the law law demands
i'm that office There is no suggestion
that the records are incorrect or that
any of the incumbentS of these offices
are not honest. My opponent says on
his campaign card that he has filled po-
sjtions in the offices of State Treasurer
and State Auditor for the last seven
teen years, and that the largest part of
this time he was keeping books in the
Auditors office. Now, does not the
very spirit of the law and its very es-
sence require the election of man out
side of the office to investigate the
books and records If the Office? Would
not the election of the bookkeeper to
investigate his own books and records
of the office? Would not the election OF
| the book keeper to investigate his own
books be contrary to the plain meaning
| of the law and against all sound busl-
ness rules? My opponent says he seeks
promotion. So do /. He was candi-
date for State Auditor eight years ago,
| while according to his card, he was
| bookkeeper in the Auditors office
His claims for promotion were passed
on and he was defeated by a large ma
| iority, thus evdencing the fact that the
pc ople thought it improper to elect the
man who kept the books to investigate
his own books. The attention OF the
| people is called to the fact that book
keeper in the office might be appointed
| Deputy Auditor.
This deputy, if elected Auditor, might
appoint the out going Auditor his depu-
ty. and so on. Thus could the law be
Inullified and it's efficiency destroyed.
/ / make no suggestion that there is
any trade or understanding between the
/ present candidates. / am simply tring
to show what can be done in case the
law requiring the change in this Office is
not observed aud enforced. I submit
this question to the calm Judgment OF
the people who are tho jury to pass on
it."
