How Philippi
Got BrOaddus
Institute
STORY OF THE REMOVAL OF eAP-
list SCHOOL FROM cLARks.
BURG TO BARBOUR
COUNTY.

From the Barbour Democrat.)
Philippi people are rejoicing over
obtaining Broaddus college.
For several months-in fact, since
last Spring, the idea of moving the
college from its present location, has
been agreed upon. In the beginning
bridgeport, Harrison county, was the
only applicant for the Institution, but
later a number Of other places, includ-
ing Phi1ippi. were talked OF, but no
ether place made tangible offers ex-
ccpt Bridgeport and Philippi, conse-
quently the contest narrowed down to
these two places.
The former place had the advantage
of site given by Mrs. Otto Barnes
and sister, while Philippi purchased
hers.
There was quite lively contest
waged. but so far as we know no Ill
feeling exists between the people of
the rival towns.
Recently one OF the eleven trustees.
u E. Coon, of shlnnston, died, and the
vacancy was filled by the appointment
Of r. e. Talbot, of this place, the first
trustee we have known to be on the
board from Barbour county.
At the first meeting after the ap-
pointment of Mr. Talbot, it was de-
clded to hold meeting on the goth
inst. to settle between the two offers
of Bridgeport and Phllippi as to which
should have the Institution. When that
date came both places were on the
ground, the former represented by a
large delegation the latter by Messrs.
G. F. Teter, NJ. Peck, and the editor OF
this paper.
Bridgeport standing first alphabet
calIy. made her proposition, which was
20 acres by Mrs. Jessie Barnes, five
acres by Miss Chattie Johnson, and
an additional 20 acres to be given to
the school at some future time. Sew
eral reservations were made on these
lands. Beside the land, $4,000 in cash
was offered.
When 1T came Philipprs time her
representatives offered 40 acres Of
land in fee simple and $4,000 in cash
subscriptions, other offers accom-
panied this in the way Of cheap brick.
cheap gas and water rates.
Upon consideration of the offers
Philippi received the nine votes pres
emit and was declared the possessor of
the prize.

was apparent yesterday afternoon that
Walter j. Barnes could not make the

Very prominent among the members
of the convention who kept close to
the chairman and watched every move
was F. w. Garrett, the second hand
furniture man. 1t was whispered
about the room that he had designs
on the ticket and was figuring out
what 1t could be bought for.
