WAR ON TRUST Is A LAW
Full ONE SAYS:CANTRILL

Hopkinsville, Ky, July 6.-For-
mer State Senator J Campbell Can't
rill, Georgetown, president Of the
Kentucky organization Of the Amer
lean Society Of Equity, addressed an
immense audience at the courthouse
this afternoon and urged all farmers
to join the society and all citizens to
give it their support.
MIR. Cantrill stated that the war
on the trust as far a. the society was
concerned was lawful one, and that
a resort TO force was never desirable.
The farmers had won their fight
by peaceful means and were enjoying
now the fruits Of the victory. A
an instance Of their prosperity, due
entirely to organization, the farmer,
during the recent financial panic had
been easy, comfortable and happy.
while money kings we're on their
knees begging for currency.
Mr.. Cantrill was skeptical con-
corning the motives Of the law and
order leagues aud was opposed to tho
use Of soldiers in the tobacco districts
Resolutions we're passed by the meet
ing denoucing as detrimental to tn,
best interests o. the society all law

promising to use every effort to up
hold the laws and see that they ar,
enforced.

CARE OF SECOND
GROWTH FORESTS.
State Forester Besley Makes Some
Excellent Suggestions.

Mr.. F. W. Besley, the State Forester.
who is engaged in making a survey of
the forests of Garrett county, furnishes
the following suggestions concerning
the care of the cut-over or second
growth forests:
There is very little timberland lin the
county that has not been cut over at least
once, and under the present practice of
numbering cut-over lands are not regard
ed as much value for another timber
crop. Under this belief and practice
there have been added each year large
areas of land that are practically waste.
Fires are allowed to sweep over them
frequently and the grazing Of sheep and
cattle keep down the young growth
that may escape fires or that may spring
up afterward.
Just as steadily as the original stand
of timber is cut does the demand and
consequent price of stumpage advance
so that the situation is becoming alarm
ing from the economic standpoint.
There is more timber used than ever
before and the supply is every year be-
coming less. Not only is the area of
woodland decreasing due to clearing
land but after cutting over a timber
tract it is long time before second
crop can be forested under favorable
conditions. Where fires and grazing
d -stroy the Young growth often a sec
ond crop Is almost impossible and should
it survive the quality of the material
will be very inferior.
The State Forester is now examiniI @
conditions in the county and attempting
to devise some practical plans for has
tening the second growth and maki
it more valuable Tin Der ten, twenty,
or thirty years from now will be much
more valuable per board foot than it is
today, hence no one who owns cut-over
lands can afford to let them lie idle or
grow up without care when it is assured
that proper attention now will insure
good returns for the future.

DRILLING At OIL WELL
To Be RESUMED SHORTLY
Leases are Being Extended and Sub
sCriptiOns Being Taken.
OLD HOLE WILL Be REOPENED
Local People Have An Abiding Faith
That Gas and Oil Will Be Found
on the Harmed Farm When the
Old Well is Bored Deeper.

As a result Of the two or three meet
ings of the stockholders of the Yough
River Oil and Gas Company held within
the past three weeks at the court house
in Oakland, interest in the development
of our mineral resources has been re
newed and it has been detera ned by
those interested in the corporation to
prosecute the work of development un-
til it is definitely known whether or not
gas or oil or both exist within the terri
tory under lease by the home people.
At meeting of the stockholders of
the above company held recently the
books were reOpened for additional sub
scriptions to the capital stock of the
company and Mr.. E. j. Fringer, the
seer tary, was appointed to secure the
extension of leases upon the property
held by the corporation. In securing
the extension of the leases Mr.. Fringer
has been extremely fortunate, every
land owner approached with the propo-
sition giving ready consent to the ex-
tension.
In the financial end of the proposition
additional stock to the amount of several
hundred dollars has been subscribed,
the bulk Of the money being put in
by the original shareholders. As soon
as an amount deemed sufficient by the
directors has been subscribed, the work
f sinking the well on the Harnerd farm
to greater depth will be resumed. At
the time the hole was abandoned, or
rather, work ceased, it had reached
a depth Of more than thirty-fYe hundred
feet. The drillers. unfortunately,
dropped their sand pump into the hole
where it remains and this obstruction
must necessarily be removed before the
active work of drilling can be resumed.
TO remove the pump will be somewhat
Of an undertaking, but with m dern ap-
pliances at hand the undertaking viii

A Rock-Ribbed Democrat Hopes for
Bryan'S Defeat.

Cashier John o. Getty, Of the First
National Bank of Grantsvire, Md, was
a Salisbury visitor last Sunday, accom-
paoied by his wife and two young sons.
While engaged in conversation with
the editor, Mr.. Getty, who is a rock
ribbed Democrat of the old school, ex-
pressed the hope and belief that Bryan
would again be defeated for the presi-
dency of the United States. Follow
ing the election of Taft, >" said Mr.
lefty, there is good hope for the
prompt resumption of business and a
general loosening up of money matters
all over the country while in the event
of Bryan's election the panic would
likely become much more severe"
We may not have quoted his exact
words, but we have given the substance
of them, and as Mr.. Getty is a good,
practical business man. politician,
scholar and thinker, his opinion ought
to be worth something. One thing is
sure, his opinion is shared pretty gen
orally, all over the country, by business
men, regardless of their .politics. Sal

ROwdyism In District No. 4.

Squire M. NJ. Fazenbaker, of Dis
trict No. 4, Garrett county, was in
Homecoming yesterday, and looked up
the Times reporter. The Squire says
that he is determined to stop the law
lessness in his district. There are a
few crossroads desperadoes out there,
and the Squire is after them. He says
that the people of the district are
afraid of these toughs and will not
make information against them. About
three weeks ago one of these fellows
Wesley Custard by name tried to
kill Clyde Michaels, an aged farmer of
District No. 4. Custard was paying
attention to Michael's hired girl, and
was visiting her one night. Mr..
Michaels had occasion to leave the
house for few minutes and as he re-
turned Custard whipped out a revolver
ard fired at the old man. Fortunately
he missed him, but Michaels thought
he was shot and fell to the ground and
shouted murder
No one has had the courage to make
information against Custard, and the
Squire can do nothing till the grand
jury convenes, when he will go to Oak
land and ask for an indictment. Squire
Fazenbaker assures the Times thai he
W uld make short work of the gunner
and toughs in his district if the people
who are terrorized by them had the
courage to come to him and make in
formation against them. They fear
that t ey will b ambushed or that
their houses and barns will be burned.
Squire Fazenbaker is the father of
Dr.. c. J. Fazenbaker, of Westernport,
and Harrison Fazenbaker, of Lonacon-
ing, and several other brainy and stall
wart sons The Squire was doing
some business with the Georges Creek
Coal and Iron Company yesterday.

THREE DIED ON LAST SATURDAY
Water Supply, Which Comes From
Shallow Wells, Many of Which

The Illness of SO rlany.

The prosperous town of Kitzmiller-
vile, which is located on the north bank
of the Potomac River in the county.
and her sister town, Blame, on the oppo-
site side of the river in West Virginia,
are both in the grip of an epidemic of
typhoid fever, there being at present
no less than thirty-five cases under
treatment by the physicians of the two
towns
AS result Of the epidemic three
deaths have occurred, two of the victims,
Charles Cramer, aged 60 years, and
Floyd Arnold, aged %, dying last Sat

i'll of the disease.
The towns are the centre for coal
mining interests, no less than six large
mines being located almost within the
confines of the places and giving employ
ment to several hundred men when they
are working full time.
The water supply for both drinking
and cooking purposes is obtained from
very shallow dug wells, many of which
have become contaminated by surface
drainage. Sanitary conditions surround

The DEATH RECORD.
MRS. MARY ANN RAY-BYRNE.

MRS. MARY ANN RAY-BYRNE.
The kingwood Journal will contain
the following, relative to the death Of
Mrs. Mary Ann Ray Ryrae, maternal
grandma. her of Mrs. Benz H. Sincel,
Of Oakland with whom Mrs. Byrne
spent the last year Of her life:
Died at her residence in Kingwoo1,
West Va. on Saturday, August 18th.
1908, at II o'clock a. m, of an illness
incident to extreme age, Mrs. Mary
Ann Ray-Byrne, aged ninety years al d
twenty-five days, the deceased lacy
having been born at Wheeling. West
Va July Goth, 1878, being daughter
Of Patrick and Mary Ray, an English
couple who came to America from the
Isle Of Wight in the yeas succeeding
the War of the Revolution.
Thus has the church on earth lost an
other of her staunchest supporters and
friends another tried servant of God
has passed from the conflicts of earth
to eternal rest in heaven from the
Cross to the Crown. Few lived a more
blameless life-few left better record
behind them. Humble and self-distrust-
full, but strong in the ord courteous,
fOrgiving, noble she was shining ex-
ample of the true Christian. Since ear
ly womanhood Mrs Byrne was a men,
Der of the Kingwood PRESBYTERIAN
church, having been a charter member
Of the congregation. Her attendance
at all public services in the church was
as regular as that of the minister IN
til her last illness which forced her to

Message
Of Mrs. Byrne's wedding we read in
a newspaper clipping found among some
of her papers the following:
cat Pilgrims Cottage, Mount Car
mel pa, On Thursday morning, Dec.
9Th, 1899, by Rev. J. D. Ray, John P.
Byrne, Esq, of Kingwood, Va. to Miss
Mary Ann Ray, of Wheeling, Va. "
AS result of this happy union there
were born five children four daughters
and one son. Of the children but two
reached the age of maturity, namely:
Mary Eleanor, who became the wife of
Mr.. d. Y. Morris, and whose death &C.
Cured but few years ago, and Julia
Elizabeth, who survives.
Mr. Byrne died on July II, 1862,
while yet a comparatively young man,
at his summer home, Woodside, Va,
near Oakland, Nd. For more than
forty six years his widow cherished the
memory of one whose life was blame
less and who is remembered for his
many charities, faithfuIness and devo-
ton to friends and family.
Of Mrs. Byrne's life words are lack
ing in which to express its purity, it's
cheerfulness, it's beauty and charity.
Her interest in the welfare, prosperity
and happiness of others was one of her
chief characteristics. Her life-in a
-word-was devoted to seeing others
