New Telephone Regulations.

The Jefferson County Telephone Com
pany has put into effect new regulation,
requiring persons to call telephone hold
ers by number instead of by name. Ever
since the telephone has been in use in
this section we have had the free aud
easy way of calling up persons on the
phone by name-a plan that was quite
friendly and sociable, but which was
bit hard on the operators, who were re-
quired to remember the number OF every
subscriber in the exchange. The Shep-
herdstown exchange has about 225 sub
scribers, so il may be seen that this plan
was bit wearing on the operators. The
new rule was put into effect last Thurs
day, and though there is more or less
grumbling at its enforcement, most per-
sons cannot but see how reasonable it is
and how necessary. The telephone peo-
pie say that the change will result in
better service, though we don't see how
there can be much improvement in the
altogether satisfactory service we have
with our ShepherdStown exchange.

Apple News.

Apple News.
Apple buyers are beginning to stir
ar, und bit in this section, but they are
not numerous and seem to be maneuver-
ing for bargains. a representative in
this vicinity the past week offered to ia
cob S. Osbourn and one or two other
growers 1925 barrel for their Ben Da-
Wis and Winesap apples-almost as much
as the prevailing price last year. They
did not sell at this figure, holding out for
$3.50 a barrel. Other orchardists have
had offers of $500 to $2.l0 barrel. 1t is
said that the Bellevue Orchard Company,
near Charles Town, has sold its apples to
Maurice Levin, representing the A. M.
Traviss Company of Pittsburg. The
Fairview Orchard Company and Robert
H. Stewart, having large orchards near
Keaneysville, have arranged to store
their apples with Rothwell & Company,
Martinsburg, and Kimball & Company,
New York. Apples are now being pick
ed in the Stewart orchards for export to
Cuba.
The York Imperial apples are a prac-
tical failure this year. The cedar rust
that took sudden possession of the or
chards was particularly harmful to the
Yorks, stunning the growth OF the fruit
and rendering most OF ii unfit for market.
The Ben Davis, Winesap and Black Twig
varieties were hurt very little by the rust.

An Afflicted Family.

The Hollida family, OF Scrabble, arc
having more than their share of afflictlon
these days. A week or two ago Miss
Villa Hollida was taken with typhoid
fever and was removed TO a hospital in
Martinsburg for treatment. Tuesday Miss
Marks HoIlida, a sister, became very i'll
from appendicitis, and her condition was
such that DR.. g. w. Banks, her physi-
clan, decided that an immediate operation
was necessary. She was taken to one
# the Martinsburg hospitals, and the
same evening the operation was per-
formed, DR.. Banks assisting. She stood
the ordeal as well as could be expected,
and now seems to be on the road to re-
covery. Mrs. James H. Staley, sister
of the Misses Hollida, is but now recov-
ering from spell of typhoid fever, and a
few days ago Mr.. Staley was taken down
with the same complaint. A young son
of Lester Hollida has also been i'll with
typhoid, and son of Carl Miller has had
the disease. II is said that the cases OF
typhoid were traced TO the use of ice that
had teen gathered from an infected pond
last winter,

B. & o. passenger train No. 3 was
wrecked about 4 o'clock Monday MORN
ing near Paw Paw. A freight train had
buckled, throwing big steel coal car
across the track. The engineer OF the
passenger train disregarded the warning
signals and plunged at full speed into the
coal car. His engine was overturned and
several cars were thrown from the tracks,
but fortunately no passenger was injured
beyond shaking up. Engineer Walter
Grimm, of Cumberland, was terribly in
jured, both legs being so badly crushed
that they had TO be amputated, and Fire
man James Orem, of Martinsburg, was
hurt severely, though not fatally.

The Good Roads Question.

There seems to be an impression among
the people of this section at least, thai
our County Court will do well to make a
change in the method of managing our
county turnpikes. While the roads that
are managed according tothe old methods,
with supervisor in charge OF each dis
trict and an assistant for each sub-dis-
trict, are steadily improving and many
permanent Improvements are being made,
the turnpikes, Under the supervision OF
the county roads engineer, seem to De
in much worse condition than they were
last year. SO far as we have been able
to observe, no work has been done upon
the turnpikes on the north side OF the
B. & o. Railroad during the past year,
save the placing of two drains, and in
both instances conditions are worse than
they were before the repairs were made.
The splendid Shepherd Turnpike, per-
feet road some four miles in length, has
been entirely neglected and has been
damaged so greatly the past summer that
good deal of money will now be re-
quired to put it in condition. A few dol
lars spent in keeping the drains open
would have saved most of the trouble,
but not lick of work has been done
upon it since this time last year. There
is much indignation that so fine road
is being allowed to 60 to the bad. The
Shepherdstown and Middleway pike and
The Shepherds.own and Halltown pike
have also been almost entirely neglected.
II has been suggested that the office OF
county roads engineer be abandoned,
save that a nominal appointment be made
in order to comply with the letter of the
law, and that the road supervisor for
each of the five districts be placed in
charge of all the roads in his territory,
turnpikes as we'll as "dirt" roads. We
very heartily commend this plan. We
are quite sure that if it were adopted for
this district our roads would be in much
better condition and at less expense.
The capable road men of this district are
thoroughly qualified TO manage the six
teen or eighteen miles of turnpike in their
territory, and if they were given charge
OF the pixies as well as the ether roads
there would be saving OF money and
marked improvement to the roads. We
have no doubt that the same thing is true
Of the other districts of the county.
Our people appreciate and enjoy the
fine roads of this section and are proud
of the reputation that Jefferson county
enjoys in this respect. Our County Court
and the road men have worked so har-
moniously and efficiently that bad roads
are practically thing of the past, but
vigilance and care are necessary if they
are to be maintained, to say nothing OF
the continued Improvements that every
body wishes TO see pushed along. We
look to the court for such action as will
maintain Jefferson county's reputation OF
having the best roads in West Virginia.

Big Fire At Martinsburg.

The most destructive and spectacular
fire that has ever visited Martinsburg
occurred last Sunday evening, when the
entire plant OF the Stewart Vehicle COM
panY was destroyed by fire. The blaze
was discovered about half-pastsix o clock,
and in short time the immense brick
building was hopelessly doomed. The
firemen were soon on hand, but were
unable TO cope with the flames. They
tried to confine the fire to that part OF the
main building in which it started, but it
finally got into the paint and vanishing
department, and after that there was
nothing to be done butuse every endeavor
to save the property near by. The main
building was l40 feet long and 40 feet
wide three stories high, with an addition
so by 40 feet and wing 70 by 60 feet.
This whole structure was destroyed, with
all the contents, including about TOO COM
pleted sleighs, great number OF finish
ed buggies and many unfinished vehi-
cles and thousands of dollars hworth OF
material. The contents of the building
were very inflammable, and the fire was
an exceedingly fierce one. The flames
shot high in the air and sparks flew in
myriads. There was much danger to
other valuable property in the neighbor-
hood, but rain that had fallen short
time before was protection and favor
able wind prevailed. The fire was plain
ly seen from Shepherdstown and the re-
Election was visible for forty or fifty miles
in every direction. 1t is said that 5000
persons watched the fire at Martinsburg,
and there was great excitement among
the people. The loss is estimated at
from 100000 to $4,000, with an insur-
ance of Sl07, 900.
The Stewart Vehicle Company is joint
stock company, of which r. N. Stewart
is president; c. w. Stewart vice-presi-
dent and general manager; c. H. Harris
secretary and treasurer; additional direct
ors, Lee M. Bender, w. w. Downey,
]. c. Byron and George Goetz. The
company will at once rebuild and will re-
sumo operations as soon as possible. The
buildings destroyed were comparatively
new, having been built since 1908, when
the former plant was burned.
The origin of the fire is mystery, and
no one is able to say what cauSedit. The
blaze started in an upper floor and had
gained considerable Roadway when it
was first seen. About thirty men were
thrown out of employment by the de-
struction of the plant.
On Tuesday, on application of several
of the stockholders, Special Judge Woods
appointed w. w. Downey as receiver for
the company, which will be reorganized
in order to facilitate its business.
