STRUCK BY A TRAIN.

John Clouch, married man from
Mason county, says the Charleston
Gazettee, an employee an the Kama
wha Mine Car Co., was severely in
jured Saturday morning by being
struck by X. & NJ. train. Clouch
was standing on the railroad track
near the compa Us plant and seeing
a train approaching, stepped out of
the way, but directly in front of one
coming from an opposite direction.
He was struck by the pilot of the
engine and thrown some distance
from the track. A large cash was
cut in his head and he received a
number of other bruises about the

not prove fatal.

FINEST PIECE OF WORK EVER DONE IN
THE OHIO VALLEY.

MeSsrs. James A. Stocker and Jno.
R. Montgomery, of Columbus, Ohio,
who have been in charge of the civil
engineering work on the construct
ion of the new Kanawha & Michigan
Railway bridge across the Ohio river
at this place and changing the K. &
NJ. track from the river bottoms to
the hill and raising the grade have
about completed the finest job of en-
cheering work of this class ever done
in the Ohio Valley. They have made
hosts of friends during their stay in
Point Pleasant who will miss them.
Mr.. Stocker goes to Columbus to do
some construction work and Mr..
Montgomery to California to join his
father and family who have recently
moved there. Ohio will loose gen

WOULD MARX SCEllE
OF FIRST BATTLE.
MAI. BENNETT SUGGESTS APPROPRIATE
MONUMENT SHOULD Be ERECTED
HERE.

Major E. A. Bennett, of Hunt
ington, who was. stationed for some
time in philippi in 1868, and who
was Auditor of the State, was an at
tendant on the United States Dis
trict Court this week, and expressed
his qualification at the growth and
signs of substantial improvement
here shown. He had a conference
with Major Randolph Stalnaker while
in town and they discussed plans for
suitably marking the field of the first
engagement of the civil war with an
appropriate, monument or marker,
which should be inaugurated by
meeting of the participants in that
memorable struggle and by the adj
herents of both armies.
1t seems that the situation deserves
this sort of memorial and the event
appeals to all our people for concur
renee in this method and the means
proposed, 50 that great celebration
ought to be held with this view.
The idea is advanced in the hope
that the general public may consider
and, if approved, act upon it.-PhA-
ippi Republican, July ee.

Local officials of the National Tele-
phone company when asked last night
regarding the relationship of the local
company with the newly formed cor
poration, stated that they had nothing
to say about the matter. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the new
merger will take in most of the in
dependent lines in the country and
that the local lines will be part of
the new system.
For some time past, movement
has been on towards this end, and
Independent companies all over the
United States are included in the
scheme. Hon. John A. Howard,
president of the local National Tele-
phone company, is one of the officers
of the new combine.
Only recently the Independent
lines in and around Parkersburg,
were taken into the merger, and most
of the independent lines in West Vir-
ginia will be part of the new sys-
TEN. When the plans are fully COM
pleted the new company will con-
struct trunk lines and will engage in
close competition with the Bell COM
pany. The promoters of the merger
have been working for about a year
upon the plans.

WORK TO BEGIN SOON.
ON LINE TO ROANE COUNTY OIL FIELDS
FROM CHARLESTON.

Charleston, July es.-J. NJ. Payne
of this city, attorney for the Char
lesion and Northern railroad, recent
ly incorporated, announced today
that the road would be built between
Clendenin, in Kanawha county, to
Walton, in Roane county, as soon as
the rights of way were secured.
The line will connect with the
Coal and Coke at clendenin, and ex-
tend into the Roane county oil
fields. The parties back of the
movement are from the east.
The construction of this line would
make Charleston the outlet and the
financial center of the big oil fields
in that section, now not tapped by a
railroad. No less than three compa-
MES have taken out charters during
the past few months for the purpose
of building into this territory, but
the Charleston and Northeastern is
the first to make visible showing.
The plans are to have at least part
of the line built before winter sets in
so that freight may be gotten into
the territory during the winter
months, now an almost imposs-
Utility, owing to the bad condition
of the coanty roads.

FOREST AREA OF THE SOUTH

The South, with seventy-fve per
cent of the total acres of the United
States, contains about forty-two per
cent of the total forest area of the
country. The forest area by states
is as 70 flows: Alabama. 90, 900, 900
acres; Arkansas, "a, 200, 900; Flori-
da, 90, 900, 900 Georgia, 90 800, 900 !:
Kentucky, 10000, 900; Louisiana,
$500, 900; Maryland, 5000, 900:
Mississippi, 1850, 900; North Caro-
lima, $4,000, 900: South Carolina,
$4,000, 900; Tennessee, 5000, 900;
Texas, so, 900, 900; Virginia, A.
900, 900; West Virginia, 9,1OO, 900.
The South, it will be seen, has
still much of the virgin forest of the
country. This forest must be used,
of course, in order to meet the stead
lily expanding wants of this section.
1t must be used in such manner,
however, that the very most must be
made from its annual cut, while ut
the same time this cut is being re-
placed by new growth. In this way
its timber will remain source of
perpetual wealth.
The Importance of forest conserva-
ton to southern interests is clearly
understood by the people of the
South. The future of the South is
more nearly bound up in the plan of
forest preservation, with its accom-
panying protection to watersheds,
power-StreamS and woodworking
industries, than anything now be-
fore the people of this part of the
country. Not only is the protection
of the watersheds, which will some
day furnish the power to run all
manufacturing establishments in the
entire South, but the industries de-
pending upon the forest products
will also be benefited by the produc-
ton thrown about the remaining
timber area.

SWARM OF BEES MAKE HOME IN WALL

To have colony of bees ensconced
in ones home, and to awake in fear
and trembling lest the ire of bee
roosting on the end of ones nose
might be aroused, if not desirable.
In fact one is very likely to remark
'stung." Such, nevertheless, has
been the condition under which the
family of Mr.. George T. Digby, of
No. Ca Ohio avenue, have been liv-
ing for some time. Led by their
queen a swarm of bees some time
ago took up their home between the
Notwithstanding and the plaStering,
on the second floor front of the Dig
by home. 1t was not an uncommon
thing to see bees crawling down the
window ledge, while from their
activity 1t soon became evident that
store of honey was being accumu-
lated. True to their reputation the
busy bees refused to be discouraged,
evicted or cease activity. With the
advent of warm weather there was

for time there was all kinds of ex-

quite a romantic affair, but Alas the
deserted queen in the walls of the
house had still to be. reckoned with.
Now it is hoped the bees will turn
upon her, sting her to death and then
steal their own honey out of the
house for the new queen. Should
these hopes be not carried out the
problem still will be how to get rid
of the honey without tearing down
down the house.
