EASTERN CAPITAL
WILLING TO COME
COLONEL PAUL NAPLES FINDS THAT
FlNkNCIERS ARE LOOKING
THIS WAY.
Want the Square Deal-New York Investors
Ask Only For Fair Treatment and
No. For Fayoritism.

That New York capital is anX-
ious for Texas investments and
that New York capitalists want
protection, not favoritism, under
the Texas laws, is announced by
Col. Paul NAPLES, prominent
business man and city builder of
Fort Worth, who has just re-
turned from a trip to the North
and East.
Col. NAPLES says furthermore
that money conditions have final
ly righted themselves gain.
Wealth, which was boarded up
during the panic, is once more
looking for reasonable invest
ments over the land. Confidence,
bordering on extreme optimism,
has returned in money centers,
states Col. NAPLES.
Almost as a unit the capital
lists are watching Texas above
every other section of the coun-
try, discovered the Fort Worth
man on his trip. This state to
them is apparently the best field
for investments in all the world.
What is the present financial
tone in New York;" Col. NAPLES
was asked yesterday.

until then and in that case it has
to be taken each year when the
taxes are assessed.
Randall county lands are rem
dered at a reasonable price when
the value of them is considered,
but Randall county citizens want
Justice in the matter. 1t seems
to this writer that the state and
county taxes should be separated
and the matter could be justly
dealt with under such circum-
stances. Contributed.

deed. About eighteen months
ago it was that the first rum
blings of the recent panic were
heard in New York. But not
until six or eight months had
elapsed did the storm reach its
climax in the financial market.
From New York the panic
spread over the entire country,
reaching the Southwest and the
Northwest last and doing less
damage here than elsewhere.
But all of the paniclSy sympt-
oms have disappeared so | noted
on my trip. Everything is on
the upgrade again; prosperity is
returning and capital is begin
ming to loosen up and seek suit
able investments. The capital
lists have money, are willing to
investit and it's only a question
of fields with them. "
What do the New Workers
think of TeXas?"
The Texan who stays athome
all the time would be surprised
to know how interested the
northerners and fasteners are
in this state. In New York, par
ticularly, | observed this univer-
sal interest in Texas among the
men of means, that is to say,
among the men who are in a po-
sition to help develop Texas. |
can't even estimate the number
of questions | was asked about
my state. Every fellow with a
little money to invest was inter-
ested. He wanted to know about
the climate the various cities,
the resources and especially
about the laws. Everything
with the earmarks Of Texas
about it Immediately attracts at
tention. The Legislators might
be SURPRISE to know how much
they are watched abroad, too.
Texas is regarded in New
York very highly. New Workers
want to see Texas grow and are
ready to help Texas grow. |
think | am right when l say the
eastern and northern capitalists
see better opportunities here for
everybody than anywhere else.
In fact, they told me Texas looks
better than any of the fields.
And with all this interest in
Texas and with all this optimism
about Texas eastern capital is
not looking for favor here. 1t
wants protection. Protective
laws upon the statute books Of
the state will be the only condi-
ton upon which these capitalists
will turn their money loose
here.
1.-The fewer and better laws
slogan has reached the ears of
the New Workers, and they say
that it has true ring to it. This
movement, which is becoming so
strong over the state, is doing
more to advertise Texas, where
| Texas needs advertising than
anything else,
There is enough money seek
| ing investment now to make
| Texas the empire state of the
union. The capitalists are not
exclusively railroad builders, and
they are not exclusively factory
builders. They have money to
put into anything that makes a
country grow and that makes a
country prosperous. / saw men

Senator Scott Gets a ThraShing.

An interesting and sensational
episode occurred in Wheeling, W.
Va, on Monday last, when United
States Senator Scott and former State
Senator S. G. Smith had fist fight in
the Dollar Savings Bank. The fight
was the result of statement made by
Mr.. Smith in an address at Parkers.
burg about month ago, in which he
ssid the United States Senatorship in
West Virginia had been bought at
public auction for many years. The
Senator was in the bank when Mr..
Smith entered Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Smith spoke in friendly manner
to him, and in reply the Senator de-
manded to know why he had said that
UNITED States Senators had been
bought for years.
Mr.. Smith replied 81 didn't say
United States Senator's from West
Virginia had been bought. l said
the senatorship had been purchased at
public auction"
"You are liar" said Scott.
"You are d liar" retorted
Smith.
Then they went at it, hammer and
tongs. 1t is said that about forty
blows were exchanged, some thirty OF
which were landed on Scott to about
ten received by Smith. There were
only few persons in the bank at
the time, and by the time the two
combatants were parted the Senator
was knocked out, his face showing a
dozen or 80 bruises and black eye
and a bunged nose bearing witness to
Mr.. Smiths pugilistic proves. Smith
escaped with a few scratches.
The trouble originated in the fac
tional fight among the Republicans in
this State. Scott espouses the Swish
er side and DULLES all those who diff
fer with him, while Smith is a warm
advocate of the Scherr ticket. The
two men have not been friendly for
some years, and IF late their feeling
against each other has become very
bitter.
The affair created a great sensation
in Wheeling, which is the home of
both men, and will still further widen
the breach in the party.
Since the fight Senator Scott has
been in strict seclusion and under a
physicians care at his home near
Wheeling, and it is said he is very
badly used up. Indeed, his friends
fear that the shock of the encounter
may seriously affect his health.

WEST VIRGINIA ITEMS.

Col. Thomas Gilmore, widely known
as a contractor, died at Morgantown,
aged 60 years. he served with dis
tinction in the Confederate army.
The Hon. Wm.J Bryan will spend
one day in West Virginia during the
cam neutrality-suspicious. 18th. The
place or places where he will speak
have not yet been named.
A. G. Scherr and his campaign man
ager, E. NJ. Grant, and Geo. @. Nc
Intosh, his chief press agent, left for
New York the fret of the week, where
they are in conference with members
of the National Republican Committee
in regard to the West Virginia situa-
ton.
G. P. Miller, Of Hampshire county,
who was nominated by the Republic
cans for State Senator from this dis
trict, states that he will not accept
the nomination. The Republican
leaders, however, sre not willing to
let him off, and say that they will put
his name on the ticket anyhow.
The splendid new passenger sta
ton just completed at Wheeling by
the B. & o. Railroad was thrown
open to the public yesterday, and to-
day trains will go in and out for the
first time. The construction Of the
station and its approaches, together
with other terminal improvements,
has coat the railroad company about
100000.
Rev. J. s. Robinson, presiding
elder of the Morgantown district OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, is
outspoken for VIM. ]. Bryan for Pres
ident, and is actively enlisted for the
Bryan cause. Rev. Mr.. Robinson is
brother of Judge Ira E. Robinson,
of the Supreme Court, and of Charles
Robinson, of Fairmont, national bank
examiner. All of the Robinson fam.
lily have been strenuous Republicans.
Mound Day, previously appointed
for October s, has been postponed un'
til one month later, the date on which
it will be held having been set for
Thursday, November 5, by State Su-
perintendent Thomas @. Miller. Mr..
Miller assigns as the reason for chang
ing the date that at the date previous
lY set many of the country schools
will not have opened, and moreover
the earliness of the previous date does
not give time to get out the circulars
to be used in connection with the
proper observance of the day, nor
does it give time to make adequate
preparations for the day. The object
of Mound Day is to take steps to pre-.
serve the historic mound at Mounds
Vile and to effect this through the
efforts of the school children of the
State and their friends.

DURING the past week or two sew
eral of our friends have sent us copies
of papers contsining articles relating
to a INDUSTRIOUS condition of affairs In
Mcdowell county, this State. This Is
in the coal region, where many thou
sands of negro coal miners are en-
ployed. In order to retain the votes
of these negroes for the Republican
ticket, the county officials not only
permit, but actually participate Ia,
a corrupt state Of affairs that would
put Sodom and Gomorrah to shame.

seen no contradiction, that vile dens

ity. Gambling, drinking and un-
speakable offenses are winked at, and
officials who are sworn to enforce the
laws are running the places and
pocketing the graft.
Conditions have become 30 intoler-
able that the people of responsibility,
who have long been used to the free
and easy methods Of that section, are
becoming disguised, and there is a
move to purge the county of its evil
doings. The political bosses are OPP
posing the proposed reform. and ap.
parently will not stop short of murder
to continue the depravity that gives
them power and fills their pockets
with filthy money. Indeed, murder
has already been attempted. for Hen

Daily Leader, who has been calling
attention to the,revolting conditions,

the typical politicians of that section.
Mr.. Kits was in Welch on business,
when DR.. Hatfield murderously at

Grading New skin on Boys Back.

Much interest was manifested last
week in Hagerstown in the case OF
skin grating at the Washington COun'
ty Hospital. The patient, says the
Herald, was Paul Paden, young son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Paden, who
was badly burned by falling into a
bucket of boiling water nearly two
months ago. The boys back, which
refused to heal, was covered with
grated skin from his shoulders to his
hips. The skin was taken in strips,
varying from a half to four inches,
from the legs of his father and uncle,
Joseph Padsn, who were under the
influence of an anaesthetic for about
two hours. About % pieces of skin
were cut from the child's father and
uncle and placed upon those por-
tiors of the boys back that refused to
heal. The boz, with his father and
uncle, were taken to their homes in
the afternoon. The operation was
performed by Drs. Cullen and Davis,
Baltimore; Drs. W. Preston and Vic
tor D. Miller, Jr., and DR.. @. R. Schel-
Ter, Hagerstown. A number of local
physicians witnessed the operation.
The Globe. in its account of the
case, says: Skin.grafting is an inter-
esting operation. DR.. Cullen and his
assistants, in the case of the Padsn lad,
used long surgical knife and sliced
off the skin from the legs of the father
and uncle and placed the strips on
those portions OF the child's back and
shoulders that refused to heal. The
legs of the father and uncle were first
washed with antiseptics and then
shaved. The slices of skin taken off
were as thin as tissue paper-the thin
per the better, the surgeons say. The
akin on the legs of the father and IN
Gle was stretched very tight before the
knife was applied. The surface to be
covered by The skin was first prepared,
all proud flesh cut away, deep enough
to expose the blood vessels, which
nourish the transplanted skin. After
the skin was all transplanted it was
bound on by gauze. In day or two
the bandsges will be removed and
then it will be ascertsined if the skin
will adhere and grow. The trans
planted skin, lift does not grow, looks
dead in day or two after being put
on. In such cases it has to be re-
moved.
