Hon. c, Wood Daily.

The subject of this sketch quietly
passed away at bis home at Elkins,
West Virginia on Wednesday night of
last week from the effects of severe
stroke of paralysis which he sustained
about a week before.
Mr.. Daily was a prominent lawyer and
brother of Judge w. II. Daily, of Rom
ney, Hampshire county. For years he
has been counsel for the Davis and e.
kins interests in West Virginia and
enjoyed a large and lucrative general
practice.
No man in West Virginia stood
higher in public esteem than Mr.. Daily.
He was an examplar type of the chris
tian man in business ana had long
been prominent in the church as we'll
as his profession. In politics he was an
answering democrat and welded a
potent inf1u.nc in the councils of his
party. He was a learned man and an
eloquent speaker and was always in
demand upon the hustings where he
was heard III every political contest.
He was frequently urged to accept
honorable and responsible offices, such
as Congress and Governor, but he al
ways declined preferriny rather ito fol-
low his profession and remain in a pc
sition where he might lend his sup
port to his friends. He will be greatly
missed in his profession, in business
and in politics.

The editor of the Statesm
crat made most enjoyable visit to
Charlestown, Jefferson county, last
week and while there had an oppor-
tunity to look over the town to some ex-
tent. We were very egreebly surpris-
ed at the vast improvements in the
town. Charlestown is no country vii
laae but hustling, thriving little city
with handsome business and public
buildings, and large, co'nmodious and
beautiful residences in which hospital
ity, a la old Virginia, abounds. We
know of no town of its size which
has larger or more beautiful residen-
tial section than Charlestown. There
are large NUM- ers of fine, large resi-
dences, surrounded with large shaded
lawns and with all the improvements
and colveniences of the larger cities.
Among the most imposing business
bulldogs are two handsome new ban k
buildings, the Farmers and Merchants
Deposit Company and the Bank OF
Oharlestown, both of which wonld be
a credit to cities of three times the size
of Charlestown. Everyone can see the
air of progress and thrift making
Charlestown most desirable place
either for business or residence.
When the people of Charlestown go
into anything they go at it in earnest.
Just now they are in politics and Il e
very air is frighted with politics. A Wis
itor, who may is ths sli shrest degree
Susceptible to the disease, will be very
apt to catch the contsgioa before he is
there many hours.

"The apple and peach districts Of
West Virginia are, in some respects,
not unlike those OF the Ozark fruit re-
gion, but with two important excep-
tions-nsarnsss to market and facili-
ties for transportation, !" says Prof. w.
w. Munson Of the State Experiment
Station at horgartown. "With Bslti-
more, Washington, Philadelphia,
New York, fittsburg and the hundreds
Of mining and factory towns At her
very door, this State IL usually favored

that Dame Nature has been specially
mindful of the welfare Of the millions
who are doomed to spend their lives
within the confines Of mine and fac
tory, ceunting-hsuse and Office, by
placing within easily accessible dis
tances thousands of acres of some
OF the best fruit lands in Amer
lea. The hills of Mineral, Morgan
and Han pshire counties, many of
them not valuable for other agf icu ltur-
al purposes, are already famous as the
home of some OF the best peach or
ehards in the country, and the fame of
these orchards, as well as very small
quantity of the luscious fruit pro-
duced, has extended far beyond the
con fines of our our own State or of the
Atlantic ssaboard. West Virginia
peaches are factor Ia thefruit markets
of the world.
The elder sisters lin fruit-growing
of the counties named, Berkeley and
Jefferson, together with Brooke and
Hancock, and numerous widely scat
tered districts in other sections of the
State, speak loudly Of the merits Of
West Virginia as an apple State. If,
after seeing orchard after orchard OF
500 to 400 acres in extent, with the
trees bending under the weight Of
some Of the finest apples it has ever
been my fortune to examine, | were
still skeptical as to the possibilities in
the direction of apple orcharding in
West Virginia, all doubt would vanish
when the news leaks ouG that one OF
the justly famous Miller Brothers has
sold his crop and received check for
more than $4,000 last year, and that
in the past 20 years tract of 30 acres
las brought returns Of more thanl$ $3.50, !
600. Il believe, hsweyer, that a por-
ton of this income is to be credited TO
peaches grown during the early years
ofthe apple trees.) Without doubt,
West Virginia can grow apples and
peaches of the very last type and and
of the very best our llty.'

Tuberculosis is much less common
among coal miners than among other
classes of people. According TO the
United States census statitics, miners
and quarrymen ocsupy third place in
the scale of tuberculosis mortality,
only bankers and farmers being more
immune. Coal dust antagonizes tu-
bereulosis when already present, and
many physicians have treated the dis
ease by inhalation of coal dust.

Rise up, ye thinkinging men ofnight,
And matter not your station;
Come with us, for our cause Is right
The saloon must leaye the nation.
The day is dawning. dawning fast,
But few the nights of siumber,
Ere we shall wake to End at last
We've banished every number.
And then the drunkard of today,
Reformed. shall be respected;
Sobriety will lead the way.
Our children be protected.
No more of rum, and few the tears;
Away. the drunkards horrors!
Few the sad and blighting years,
And Few the signs and serrowi.
The "grog men, with the brewers
aid,
To stay us now endeavor;
But Christ is leading this crusade,
And they can stay us, Never!
For wrong must ultimately die,
With all its blight Internal;
The day of triumph draweth nigh,
When right shall rule eternal.
They say well loose the revenues,
Closed prisons need no money;
Bars cleared from every avenue
Leaves manhood bright and sunny.
To care for paupers wrecked by rum

1t takes just twice the blood-stained
sum
Received from liquor traffic
When loud they cry of losing jobs,
In memory deep be carving,
The drunkards home, the mothers
sobs,
And wives and children starving.
They'll find positions when we win;
Think not of their privation;
AS long as drunkards drink their gin
1here'll ever be starvation.
Then come true manhood, with as
stand,
And aid our cause supernal;
Well drive the 'srum-shop" from ctr
land,
And right shall rule eternal.
Then shall fsOld Glory" floating
high,
Proclaim to all creation:
