These Days.

Paw Paw, w. Va, August 12.-The
Allegheny Orchard Co. received its
first refrigerator Monday intending to
load it with fruit but the hail had
caused the fruit to become little
soft and the idea was abandoned.
they are holding it however and ex-
pect to send it out loaded tonight. The
hon beat the fruit badly punching
little loles in the fruit that was ready
for NJ rfat which became rotten. The
good rain that accompanied the hail
did an immense amount of good.
though, to the other varities. It set
them to growing ID the effect can
be seen on the trees already. Toe
fruit now is of a yey good quality
and of nice size. Fruit buyers are
flowing in from all sids aud seem to
be very anxious for consigunPats to
their houses. They claim that PEACHES
are scarce on the market and should
bring a good price. The Orchard co.
hopes their prophecy is true.
U. S. Marshals Brown and Coale
were here on business Monday. They
have a few suspicious men ON their
list, and although several arrests
have been made no one has been con-
vfctei. They took two parties to

THE DEBT QUESTION
IS NOT PLEASING
To the People Of West Virginia, says
Martin ). Morse, Of Charles Town,
In Interview.

WASHINGTON, Aug. West Vir-
ginia people who are familiar with
the Virginia debt question are not
well pleased with the situation, SAID
Martin J. Morse. Of Charles Town, at
the Raleigh. This is one Of the
most important political issues Ia the
state elections, but It should be re-
moved from politics and be managed
by nonpartisan and non-poIltical
commission of high-minded. honorable
and courageous men It should be a
body independent OF state officiais,
without motive except the states in
terest, and the public should be Civ.

should have the power to perform any
act TO protect the state. without COM

had clerks in Richmond since early
In March collecting data, and al
though these figure viii not be fur

after the election. the certificates
have been quoted on Wall street at

strangely ignorant OF the real situ3-
ton, and the idea has been created
that West Virginia is In no danger.
The very few facts that have come
to light are conclusive that the situ-
alton is alarming and that unless.
something is done shortly, the court
will bring the state into debit for
many millions more than the amount
Virginia spent for roads, etc, within
iner limits, and many millions more
than the convention which separated
West Virginia intended her to as
sumo.
THE secret joint session OF the
two houses, called by the governor
February 10, of this year, to consider
the debt, to my mind was a gross
violation Of the principles upon which
our political system depends. Our re-
publican government will not last IL

The couple came to town, procured
a marriage license and then hunted
up preacher but they were all out

knot. which he readily consented to
do.
The marriage ceremnny vas per
formed in the back part OF the store
in the presence Of numreous wit

Brief Description.

The home will cost in the nighbor-
hood OF $125,00 and the committee
has so planned that there will be no
debts against the institution When
completed. which will be about Sep
TENDER, 1909. The home will be in
the shape of a maltese cross and
will be two stories, an attic and base
ment. There will be four large lawns
in the recesses of the building prop
er, and on top of the structure will
be an observatory, from which Rich
Mountain can be plainly seen.
The purpose of the home will be
for the taking care OF worthy Odd
Fellows and their orphans, and later
the committee plans to have an edu-
cational system that will meet with
all requirements. The committee has
been busy since 1899 carving out the
plans, and up to this time they have
met with the entire satisfaction OF
the some $4,000 Odd Fellows in the
state.
Two years ago Hon. Septimius Hall
took the matter up in the state legis-
lature and bill was passed eliminat'
ing all taxation on the property OF
the state home Through this insti-
tuition the state will be relieved OF
taking care of many children in its
institutions. When the movement for
the state home was started the grand
lodge decided on raising the funds
through assessments of fifty cents and
dollar on each member very year
BY this means about $4,000 has been
raised TO date, and 1t Is likely that
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1908-08-15

the system will work out very salts
factorily as to the maintenance Of
the home for all time. The assess
ments being so meager for ZACH MEM
Der, the fund of the home is being
raised without any trouble from any
source.

so gather until the last ballot had
been cast. At times it looked as II
there would be a rough house.
There wos some good resulted from
the meeting and that was a greatly
increased sentiment for a primary
election law The day Of mass con
ventions and mob rule are close to an
end, and it is hoped that before an
other four years roll around a good
primary election law will have been
enacted. fTNN

GIVES ITS REASON
Board Of Church Extension Ex-
plains Failure to Obey Order
of Auoustana Synod.
ANNUAL MEETING IS HELD
Resolution Relative to Transfer of
Property is Adopted-O. p. Olson
Chosen as Delegate.

The annual meeting of the board of
the church extension society of the
Augustana synod was held this morn
ing at the Augustana Book concern
here. The members of the board are
Dr. Swenson of Duluth. Rev. August
Johnson of LaPorte. Ind. Rev. II. e.
FAINT of Iowa, and Rev. c. J. Beng
ston, Rev. E. X. Jonson, o. p. Olson
and Andrew Peterson of Rock Island.
The board selected o. P. Olson of this
city as its representative at the synod
ical meeting at Chicago, beginning
June IL.
Excuses Are Offered.
The board adopted a resolution ex-
planning its failure to comply with the
instructions of the last meeting of the
Augustana synod, which ordered that
the church extension board turn over
to the home mission board all of its
property. and that the latter organiZa
ton handle the work in the future
The synod. however. failed to ex
press it instructions relative to the
transfer of the property in clear
terms. and for this reason no action
+ has been taken to comply with the
instructions. 1t is hoped that at the
coming meeting of the synod the ac
ton ordering the transfer will be re
scinded, and that the church extern
sion work will continue 10 be carried
on by the separate board.
Authorized a Loan.
At this mornings session the
church extension committee was au
thorized to extend a loan of $1,000 tt
| the St. .Josephs church of Everett
| Wash. The session was largely de
voted to the disposition OF routin,
