Growers Will Call on Duke.

The Executive Committee of the
Burley Tobacco Society, and the repre-
sent9tives of the American Tobacco
Company, in session at the office of Gov.
Wilson at Frankfort Saturday, failed
TO agree on the price to be paid for
tobacco now in the pool, and upon sug-
gestion of Gov. Wilson, a conference
between a committee from the Society
and the President and Board of Direc-
tors of the American will be arranged.
Mr.. r. K. smith, representing the
American, will ask his company 10 set
date on which to receive the commit
tee. 1t will be remembered that on
Friday at Winchester, the committee
of the Burnley Tobacco Society refused
an offer of twelve cent pound for ten
million pounds, from the American
Tobacco Company. There is sixty
million pounds in the pool and the offer
of this mammoth trust is said to have
been but scheme to trap the growers.

Negro Acknowledgement plank of the
Democratic state platform, says:
And Way Should the issue not

mittee on resolutions were Henry G.

though enfeebled by years, took the

acy, as It were, to their party and the

Reed and Littlepagc.

The Charleston Mail makes the
following comments on two state can
didates seeking the same office:
The Republican candidate for sec
rotary OF state, Stuart F. Reed. Of
Clarksburg, is man OF great ability.
He is a successful business man and
has won fame as an editor. legislator
and speaker. He is recognized as the
most eloquent man in the state and
is in every way qualified for the Of
flee.
Mr.. Reed formerly represented his
district in the State Senate and was
one Of the leaders Of that body. 1t
was he who placed in nomination
Hon. Stephen b. Elkins the first time
the latter was elected TO the Senate
Of the United States. Mr.. Reed is
one of the few men who have been in
politics for more than a dozen years
and against whose character not an
adverse criticism has been offered.

n the government vaults. The first
objection is answered by pointing cut
5he fact that only two per cent. per
lnnum interest is allowed ON postal
savings bank deposits, while the or
binary savings bank allows four per
,ent. per annum. That will induce
The depositor to remove his money
from the postal banks as soon as ne
has ACCUMULATED sufficient amount
to justify any considerable interest
earning and place It in the private
savings bank.
The concentration OF money In the
governments vaults cannot occur ac-
cording to the present bill before the
Congress as under its provisions the
money accumulated in the postal
banks will be placed back into the
ordinary banks and so be put into cir
culation again. In times Of nervous
fright, this will prove to be a great
help to the general money markets.
In the last ten years, Mr.. Meyer
points out, seven millions of immi-
grants have come into this country
and most Of them from countries
where the postal savings bank is an
established institution. East year
$94,S92,716 was forwarded to for
eign countries by the mail order sys-
tenn by these foreigners, who, lgnor-
ant of our language and suspicious
OF private institutions, are more in
clined to trust the government with
their savings. Here would a large
amount of money be retained in this
country.
The establishment of the postal
savings bank in this country "for the
convenience OF the people and the
encouragement OF their thrift" is
favored by the Republican party, 1t
having plank to that effect in its
national platform. The Democratic
party in its national platform does
not favor the establishment of such
a beneficial institution, unless
Bryan's new tangled, lopsided scheme
OF new banking system is adopted,
and even then the System, as propos-
ed in the bill now before the Con-
gress, is condemned simply because
1t is Republican. measure.
Laboring men and others who are
interested in the postal savings banks.
and desire the advantages they will
afford, should remember the atti-
tudes of the political parties in the
present campaign, and at the polls
this Fall they should vote for the
party that will bring about the de-
sired results.

Of state many of the voters OF West
Virginia have learned to look upon
Adam B. Littlepage as man who

page is good lawyer but before his
defeat for the gubernatorial nominal
ton had not been thought of for any

Report answer Hnrplnes.

The state treasurer's report pub
lished elsewhere answers the harp
ings of some Democratic papers on
the condition OF the states finances.
The report OF rhe state treasurer
shows that the state has money on
hand and hat no check issued has
been turned down by the bank on
which 1t was drawn. The state is
now worth s1,949, 900, or a little
more than that amount. More than
100000 is included in the state
fnnd and more than $4,000 is in
the school funds.
That includes all current funds.
The figures are not exact. but the
initial numbers Indicate what is to
be relied on by the state and what it
has to its credit.
West Virginia is worth very nearly
$2,00O,0O0. In fact, the exact
amount of its wealth is s1.946,524.-
So. And within the next sixty days
State Treasurer Newton Ogdin will
likely have received from license tax
alton, between 100000 and $780,
900, says the Charleston Mail. bring
ing the amount up to a highly graft
flying figure.
There will be a big surplus at the
end of the fiscal year, nGtwithstand-
ing the statements which have been
enormously made by Democrats pol
ttiCians and platform orators, who
have made assertions which were en-
tirely without foundation.
This state pays its bills regularly,
and no one has an objection to make
for any delay in payment.
During the past month the re-
ceipts from the school fund were So
600, which, in addition to the $1,000
on hand and 1896, 1900 brings 1t up
to the $1.000,OO0 mark.
Some of the bonds which are held
by the school fund pay as high as 6
per cent. interest, fact that never
existed under Democratic rule. A
great many of the others bear per
cent, but some Of the old ones pro-
cured before the Republicans came
into power bear to 1-2 per cent.
One deposit in state repositories
amounts to $950,224.3S.

Louis Bennett.

The people of the state know but
little of Louis Bennett, OF Weston,
whom the Democrats have named as
their candidate for governor. About
all that is said of him is that he has
barrel and wants to be governor Of
West Virginia.
Mr.. Bennett is an aristocrat of arts.
tocrats, says the Charleston Mail. He
has been spoken OF as perhaps the
best representative in this state of
the old feudal lords though three
quarters of a century ago his father
was poor man living in what is now
the Walkersville neighborhood in
Lewis county. When he was auditor
of the state Of Virginia the elder Ben
nett acquired large holdings of real
estate in Lewis and adjoining coun-
ties so that his sons, one of whom
now asks TO be governor Of West Vir-
ginia. had little to do except hold on
to these lands and look after the
tenants. This has been done to per-
lection and little of the lands acquir-
GU ny JOlibliGAI LDIllhCIl mas BGNu ulo-
posed of by his son, Louis. Timber
sales and the sale OF gas rights have
made the candidate of the Democrats
independently rich so that OF late
years much OF his time has been
spent without the state in the enjoy
ment of his wealth rather than in the
solution of important questions OF
state.
True. Mr.. Bennett was formerly a
member of the legislature but that
was when West Virginia was little
known. Since then he has taken
rank as an oil magnate and has been
amply able to carry out his ideas of
class and caste with his class at the
top. AS governor, were he to have
his way, things would resemble those
of the time of Henry VIII. or prob
ably he like the good old times" in
Virginia many years ago. Mr.. Ben
nett cannot be classed as a man OF
the people, as is the case with his
opponent, and no sensible reason has
been advanced why he should be gov
ernor of West Virginia.
