R. A. Davis Leases it and Buys
Fixtures-Swager Opens
in Lynch Building.

At II O'Clock Monday morning the
deal between j. T. swager and r. A.
Davis for the Swager hotel was con-
summated and ,Swager will give full
possession by Thursday.
Davis acquired the hotel, dining
room and kitchen fixtures and furni-
ture and a lease on the building. 1t
is his intention to run the hotel with
a bar attached and the same will be
opened as soon Mr.. Swager yacates.
Mr.. Swager will occupy one OF the
spacious store rooms in the Lynch
Willtams-Alexander building on Pike
street opposite the postoffice and will
continue in the ice cream and confec-
tionery business on an extensive scale
where all his numerous patrons will
be waited upon and served attentive
ly.
Mr.. swager has been engaged in
the business seventeen years in the
building he is vacating and during all
that time it was a popular and sue
cessful place. He knows the ice
cream and confectionery business per-
fectly and his services as a caterer
at social functions are sought ON
every hand.
The long experience and success
Mr.. Swager had at the Swager hotel
and store will be greatly to his ad-
vantage in his new place, where he
is well located and the large patron
age he has enjoyed all these years by
his faithfnlness, efficiency and eager
ness to serve the public In the latest
and best manner. the Telegram pre-
diets, will become even more exten-
sive, as his entire time and attention
will be given to these specialties and
nothing will be left undone to treat
the public right and to give them
something far in advance of any
thing in these lines Clarksburg has
yet enjoyed.
Mr. Davis has also acquired an ele-
giant place for the hotel and bar busi-
ness and has every opportunity to
make decided success there, which
he will doubtless do.

A REPRlMAMD
Is Due from the Council, for Action
Concerning Police Officers.

A lot of Democratic politicians are
tittering over the arbitrary action OF
the chief of police in eliminating the
colored police officers from the
parade Saturday and the Democratic
newspaper is finding some delight in
1t, too There is no good reason why
the colofed people should be insult
ed in such manner and far less for
seeing pleasure in the act. None
but the prejudiced can find any glory
in the act. The colored police Are
regularly appointed officers OF the
city and the council should make a
full investigation of the affair and
give such reprimand as is deserved.

FARE RATE
IS HIGHER
THAN LEGAL
Baltimore & Ohio Can Not
Charge Four Cents on
Short Line.
SAYS THE WETzEL COURT
Suit by Grant Against Com
pany to Recover Money
is Won.
SAYS THE WETzEL COURT

NEW MARTINSILLE, w. Va,
June 1-Thc Baltimore & ohis Rail-
road Company must pay to Arthur
Grant the amount of the Judgment
rendered against the railroad com
pany at the last term OF the circuit
court. Judge Willis refused to en-
tertain the motion to set aside the
Judgment and grant new trial and
confirmed the decision.
The case was in the nature of a
test case brought by Grant and
number of other residents residing
along the Short Line railroad, and
attracted wide attention throughout
the state. Grant resides In Grant
district and claimed that the railroad
company charged him four cents a
mile, which is more than the legal
rate allowed to be charged, for a
ticket from Smithfiefd. He brought
suit against the railroad under the
provisions of the statute pertaining
to the charging of excessive fares, and
secured judgment.
There are seven other cases pend
ing against the railroad company, and
II was agreed by the attorneys on
both sides that che cases would be
held up until the result OF the Grant
case. As Grant secured favorable de-
cision 1t is believed that all of the
other plaintiffs will now proceed with
their cases. In all probability the
railroad company will appeal the case
to the supreme court OF appeals, lsit
as yet 1t has not given notice of an
appeal.

"Honesty the Best Policy

ed deposits and paid interest upon
them, negotiated and placed loans
and was the general financial man
in the small town. He disappeared
suddenly and investigation showed
that he had been confronted with
evidence that a mortgage which he
had sold was forgery. Farther
examination proved that he had been
following that line for wears, using
the money from the sale OF one
forged instrument to take up another
and thus protect himself from de-
lection.
The inevitable result came and
Rambusch fled. Long after his
corpse was found in a cemetery at
Fredericksburg, va, a bullet wound
In the head and the revolver still

the penalty Of his transgressions
Unable to earn an honest living else

of his Maker with his own blood OF

moral courage than his prototype
and will expatiate his crime in pris

veys should not be without its fruits
II shows that sooner or later there

world or in the next 1t is usually
In this world, however, and the man
inclined to go wrong should keep
that fact in mind,
Nobody but the forger can tell
what was the primary cause OF his
entry into such course of crime
The first forgery was probably a
make-shift to meet an emergency
and It was TO be redeemed and de.
stroyed. Such is generally the be,
ginning OF financial turpitude, but
one crime leads to another until
the only temporary safety from ex.
posture is reckless continuance TO end
in inevitable detection and ruin.
Surely honesty is the best policy
Most men are honest from princi.
pie, but those who have not that
protection should be honest from
fear or the consequences.

Sulphur Springs News: We regret
to- say that Texas legislatures have
done their part in destroying conf
dence of investors, impairing credit,
obstructing business and STAYING off
the building OF railroads through
parts Of Texas needing transportation
facilities, One member Of tho legis-
lature where we have five and that
one TO have five times the ability and
pay, is an urgent need at the present
times.
Fort Worth Record: Such sweep
ing denunciation OF Texas legislators
and Texas laws does more harm to
the state than an occasional mistake
by the legislature. The laws of Tex
as. relating to investments and the
protection OF property compare fav-
orably with those of any state and
in many respects are much better
than those of many states The Sui
phur Springs News would do less
damage to the reputation Of the state
II 1t would point out the laws that
should be repealed and give reason
for their repeal instead of denounclng
the entire system. Such denupcia-
ton is not only unpatriotlc, but is
not warranted by fact More capital
is seeking investment in Texas today
than ever before, while the stream
OF immigration is breaking all past
records and the ouly thing that is at
all libely to check this settlement and
development Of the state is the wide
circulation outside the state of such
unjust attacks as this one by the
sulphur Springs News
