not more of an incentive for pitching
winning ball. For every game that

GRAFTON Is LUCKY.

Grafton is going to get new sta

their Board of Trade has gotten from
the management of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. Well they need it, much
more than we do, but they got it by
going after it. and that IS what We will
have TO do if we want one, You do
not get things these days without ask
ing for hem. We congratulate Graf
ton and hope that hey win soon have
a station that VII be a credit not only
to the city but to the railroad.
II is our turn next. A new station
is one of the recommendations that
has been going up from Martinsburg
for some time when recommendations
were in order. Once a year these re
Communications are made that plans
may be made for the betterment OF
the service OF he railroad during the
coming year. Again tins fall a new
station was recommended for Martins

Never in the history of the Balti-

station been as great as it has been
during the past two months. On good
authority il is said that there is no
station along the read between Balti-
more and the Ohio river thai produces
as much revenue for he company as
does Martinsburg. A months income
from this point would pat up hand

road determine to build q station they

people of Martinsourg could desire.
The road here is cramped for facili-
ties. They are in need of better ac-
cancellations They are friendly to the
place, as they have not been for years.
Much energy is being spent to make
this one of the leading points along
the road An increased output OF
freight here will compel them to en-
large their facilities. Now Is the time
to 90 after the station.

MAKE 1T AN ANNUAL EVENT.

The first annual apple show and
carnival of the Berkeley County Hor-
ticultural Society came to an end last
night with the annual apple ball.
Every one feels that the whole affair
has been successful beyond expecta-
ton. The event has attracted atten-
ton all over the United States and
visitors were here from Marty every
apple growing section of the country.
The society is to be congratulated on
the success of this first attempt at an
exhibition. The people Of the county
should realize what this will mean to
them if it is continued as an annual
event.
Plans should be made at once for a
repetition of the show next fall. 1t is
the best means of advertising the
rut products OF the county that
could possibly be exploited. There
were many this year who held back
from participating in the event, but
we believe now that these same peo-
pie are sorry that they did not have
part in one of the most successful ven-
lures ever attempted in this commun-
ity.
We believe that next year there will
be an enthusiasm for the event that
will mean greater success and more
publicity than was had this year. A
similar exhib ton next year will place
it on a footing with other periodic
shows and when we look tor a large
crop two years hence the annual fruit
show will have such reputation that
it will attract fruit growers from all
parts of the States. Let everybody
work in harmony and see to what eX-
tent the Annual Apple Show and Car
nival Of the Berkeley County Hort
cultural Society will grow.

ThE APPLE SHOW.

We hear so much Of coal. oil, gas
and timber in West Virginia that
some may be inclined 10 forget other
good things. like our apple crop for in
stance, which is said on good authori-
ty, TO bring more money into the
State than our coal mines. While we
raise good apples in Hancock and
ether counties, the great center Of the
apple industry is Berkeley, and in or
der 10 impress the State with the
crops importance as n producer Of
wealth and health and further attract
new trade and new capital, the Berke-
ley County Horticultural Society OF
which our old friend, Alex. Clohan is
president, will give an apple show and
Carnival al Martinsburg on November
4th and 5th, and the event promises
TO be a most interesting and profitable
one. There will be a display OF the
splendid product of that section and a
program OF entertainment which can
not fail 70 please. The Society wants
every citizen who can come to Mar
tinsburg next Thursday and Friday
to see what great industry has been
built up and what fine prospect
there is for investment. The Society
is dong a good work and deserves
public support and commentator. We
are all proud OF the Berkeley apple
crop and we are glad it is growing
ton contributes to the welfare Of all
others and the whole State is benefit
ed by the advancement of this great
industry. We extend our best wishes
to the Society and hope the affair
may prove such success that it may
become an annual eyent.-Board OF

A GOOD GOVERNOR.

The respect and gratitude of all cit
liens of West Virginia are due to Gov.
Glasseock. His promptness, courage,
and high fidelity to duty have for the
time at least saved the state from the
disgrace and Generalization Of mob
law.
All the circumstances we're such as
TO make the enforcement of law and
order excessively difficult. The two
negroes in fact were accused OF a
dastardly crime and prma iacie evil
dence was strong against them. An
alleged companion in the crime had al
ready been shot while trying to es-
cape, and the lawless had had a taste
of blood. The sheriff mad not sufii-
cient force to protect his prisoners, the
deputies were not to be relied on the
local militia had formally resolved
and announced that they would not
fire on a mob of their own ne'ghbors
IL ordered to do so. The presence OF
the governor and some OF his staff and
his decisive action in ordering militia
from Wheeling seem to have held the
disorderly in check until he had the
opportunity in the early morning to
remove the prisoners and put them
abroad a special train for another Jail.
This movement was executed under
his immediate supervision, and was
amply guarded There may still be
disturbance at Sutton. whittier the
prisoners were taken, but it is not
likely to be met with less success than
the threatening situation in CASA
way
1T requires unusual qualities to
adopt such policy, under The condi-
lions existing, and to carry it out with
resolutions, calmness ana efficiency.
The service is very great 1t is not
service to the negroes alone or chiefly.
For them it secures only an orderly
trial, with absolute certainty of pun
ishment if their guilt can be even
plausibly shown. The real service is
to be the state and to the race whose
members were on the point OF defying
and violating the law. Every such
manly and brave defense of the impair
TALLY and authority of The law raises
the level of civilization in the COM
munity exposed to lawlessness and
makes the vital rights and interests
of all members of society safer. 1t
tends, however to strengthen the m
fluence of peaceful and right minded
men of each race in checking and sup
pressing the passions that give rise
in such cases as the present one to
occasions of lawlessness. There is no
question as to the real spirit of intelli-
gent and law abiding men in the south
OF that they are in the majority. All
they need is such determined and
magnanimous leader as Gov. Glass
cock has supplied to control the con
duct Of the minority York
