we're afterwards destined to make
him leader of men. became mani

among the pupils OF the school ''Btll"
Glasscock, as he was endearinglyi call
ed, was always chosen as arbIter.
Here also it was that he first acquir-
ed a desire for knowledge beyond the
province of the public schools. His
father being unable to furnish the
means necessary to give all his child
rem a higher education, this boy de-
termined to make his own way and
earn for himself the means of secur-
ing a liberal education. In addition
to attending the public schools, he ap-
Piled himself at nights and mornings
to an Independent course OF study
with a view of preparing himself to
teach, This he did thoroughly, and
at the very early age of eighteen
years became very successful school
teacher. So progressive and popular
was he as a teacher that in 1887 he
was elected county superintendent Of
free schools OF Monongal!a county
and reelected In 1889. This ONCE is
one ofs considerable Importance In
that county owing to the fact that the
chief educational institution of the
state is located there. During his
terms as superintendent of schools he
was married to Mary Alice Miller. the
accom- lished daughter OF neiEhbor-
ing village merchant. To this union
three children were born. one Of
whom, bright boy OF twelve years,
is still living. Mr.. Glasscock's con-
duct of the Office OF county superin-
tendent, and his larger acquaintance
with the people OF the county, greatly
Increased the public confidence in
him. Consequently, when he offered
himself at the next election as eau
1idate for clerk of the circuit court,
he was overwhelmingly nominated In
the primary OF his party and after
wards overwhelmingly elected at the
general election. The performance
Of his duties In this once was 50 In

OTHER LEGISLATION
AInsnincent Record OF LegisIntivt
achievements NInGIe by the Re
publican Party.

In ADDITION to the magnificent rec
ord which it has made in the crea-
tion and uDbujldinE of many State
/ institutions. in the enlargement of all
the Republican activities that make
i for the general welfare and common
good, and in the complete reorgan-
ization of our tax system along scion
tfGc, Just and equitable lines, Repub-
Hcan administration in West Virginia
has been fruitful of general legisla-
tion of the greatest public good. Il
is necessary only to refer to some
of the measures that have been put
on the statute books by Republican
governors.
FNirst-we have referred to the
legislation that took from the auditor
and secretary of state the enormous
fees OF those offices. and turned these
sums into the state treasury.
Second-Legislation has been en-
acted that requires a portion of all
the fees OF the various county offices
TO be turned into the various county
treasures, and also requires an ac-
curate accounting of those fees.
Heretofore It has been impossible to
ascertain the exact amount of these
fees. Under the new law these
amounts will be known, and 1t VIII
be possible in the light of the knowl-
edge to make such further enact
ments as Will insure respectable com
pensatIon to all county offices, with
out allowing extravaganza.
Third-A general two cont railroad
fare law has been enacted and Is
now in force. This puts West Virgin
n in line with the most progressive
states in the Union in railroad leEis-
lation Every passenger on every
railroad in the state, every day IN the
year experiences the benefit of this
wise and reasonable limitation OF
railroad fares It is significant that
the largest and most important rail-
roads in this state have submitted to
the law without a contest. thus tes-
tifying to it's fairness and equity
Fourth-Laws have been passed
forbidding railroads to condemn
property on both banks of navigahle
streams The intent and effect OF
this act Is to prevent one railroad
company from lnonopollzing all the
available lines of construction IN
certain territory, and thus keeping
out reasonable competition.
Fifth-An act known as the unl-
form accounting law has been pass
! cd. This provides for the inspec-
ton and supervision of all county
land district offices and establishes
uniform system OF public accounting.
| It's object Is to secure full and de-
tailed statement of the expenditure
of every cent OF public money, ana
n viii ensure that many lax and
wastefuI methods that have hereto
| fore prevailed, will be abolished
siXth.-A Sunday closing law OF
| tho most rigid character has been

| sense of the people of West Virginia

Under Republican control the state

The cry of exravagance made by
the Democracy will be found to b

how much money we nave spent but
how wisely 1t has been expended.

Iican party, she has been no less for
