STARTING THINGS.

The Times may possibly start an
evening edition. We have heard
many independent Democrats sa,
that they needed a newspaper that
was not completely subservient to the
Corporate and Special Interests.
Charleston has twice the popula-
ton of Fairmont and the third paper
was started there some months ago.
It went into the hands OF a receiver a
few days ago and suspended publ
cation yesterday with over $2.UUo
