In the oyer and terminer court at
Chambersburg yesterday Judge Gillian
held up three hotel liquor licenses.
They were the Central and Werner
in Waynesbcro and the Mclaughlin
in Greenoastle, whose proprietors are
charged with openly violating certain
laws governing hotels. Ii is likely,
however that the liquor licenses will
be granted in few days after the
applicants have good sweat,

Charles Brooks Smith, a newspaper
correspondent of state wide reputa-
ton among his many sketches of
members Of he Legislature has the
following:
Senator Gray Silver, who has the
honor Of getting the first bill through
the legislature, the Martinsburg char
ter, is man of parts. lie has large
interests In Berkeley county, raises
sheep, grows apples and does other
things that add to the sum of human
wealth. Mr.. Silver is very proud of
the city OF Martingburg, claiming 1t is
the only genuine smokeless industrial
city of any considerable size in the
United States.
Everything in Martinsburg is done
by electricity" says he Electricity
is so cheap there the people don't
have to burn coal or gas. It is cheap
because there is abundant water
power from the Maryland canal. The
wooden mills and other large estab-
lishnents there discontinued their
expensive steam power plants and
substituted electric dynamos. Every
thing Is done by electricity down to
the pressing of trousers. The result
Is you see no smoke in Martinsburg
That is a good reputation to have,
Pittsburg you know is called the
smoky city. and well it deserves the
name Why should we not have
smokeless city. Few, IL any have
stopped to consider the great advan-
tages of Martinsburg, particularly
along smokeless lines.
OF course there is a great deal OF
smoking done here, but it is among
the men and boys. To look at the
smokeless chimleys of our large mills
one would think that they are idle,
for smoking chimney is always
Sign of industry, but just the opposite
is the case, our mills are all work
ing on full time. yet there is no
smoke issuing from the tall stacks.
II is cheaper to use electricity than
to buy coal and keep the boilers go
ing. Then, too, there ere other adj
vantages of electricity over the steam
power mills.
1t will not be long until Greater
Martinsburg" is here and the new
city will be a smokeIess one.
The power company is now able
to Furnish power for almost any in
dustry that wishes to apply it. A
third plant is nearing completion and
this will be ready about the time
application is made for further power.
If the facilities prove inadequate the
company has further opportunity and
will no doubt prepare to take care OF
any demands that may be made upon
II.
This cheap and plentiful power
should prove a big inducement for
manufacturing industries to locate in
Greater Martinsburg,' and we hope
that It will not be long until we win
have a greater city which will still
be a smokeless city.

GOVERNOR APPROVES.

Governor Dawson has signed the
bin creating a Greater Martinsburg.
It Is now up to the citizens to make
a reality OF Greater Martlnsburg. Z"
The conditions are such that in very
short time our growth and influence

Is wide in its scope and should prove
sufficient for our needs for many
years. On June / Mayor Cushwa will
