Teachers Amounted.

AT meeting OF the board of education
Of Shepherdstown district Tuesday the
teachers for the graded school for the en-
suing year were appointed. Floyd B.
Matthias, of Hardy county, who has been
principal of the public schools OF Moore
field the past year, was appointed princi-
pal. Mr.. Matthias was formerly student
at Shepherd College, and is bright and
progressive young teacher who will, we
have no doubt, give satisfaction in his
new position. He comes highly recon-
mended. The other teachers appointed
are Miss Sarah Folk, seventh grade; Miss
Ella Kelsey, sixth grade; Miss Julia Hill,
fifth grade Miss Louise Rightstine, fourth
grade; Miss Alice Banks, third grade;
Miss Bessie Lickllder, second grade ;
Miss Ruth Taylor, primary grade. The
salaries of the teachers who hold No. !
certificates, underline new law, were fixed
at $50 per month.
The board appointed S. o. Bond, OF
Chenille, w. Va, as district supervisor,
who will fill this position and at the same
time give part of his service as a teacher
in Shepherd College. The board has
been DESTROYS for some years OF having a
district supervisor, and we think that it
has acted with much wisdom in consum-
mating the present arrangement with the
cooperation of the college. 1t will I'M
doubleday result in a decided betterment
of school conditions, and the help OF a
school expert means progressiveness in
Our educational affairs. The board aD-
pointed no,school trustees at its recent
meeting. These officers will be dispensed
with, and the appointment OF teachers in
the SUBJ districts will, after this year, be
vested in the board OF education, who will
act in conjunction with the district super

For WaterwOrkS.

w dLCI WOIhos
A public meeting will be held on Friday
evening OF this week in the old college
hall on Main street, in the interest OF the
proposed system OF waterworks for Shep-
herdstown. AS has been stated hereto
fore in the Register. the plans for the con-
struction and operation and financing OF
the system have been worked out and
all needful data secured. 1t is the desire
OF the promoters to present these plans
to the people OF this community, and for
this purpose the meeting has been called.
A large part of the funds for the project
has been subscribed for by foreign CAPT.
talists, but it is necessary that our home
people shall give moral and financial
support TO the enterprise. II our own
citizens will show an interest in the mat
ter and subscribe for fair proportion OF
the bonds the project will undoubtedly
be a success, and our town will in very
short time have the indispensable luxury
of an excellent water system. That we
need water above everything else is
agreed, and we think the opportunity 10
secure il has never been so near as al
present. The plans seem feasible and
safe, and everybody should help with The
enterprise. We hope that every bust
ness man and every householder in the
community will be at the meeting, Fri
day night at half-past seven o'clock. All
the people are cordially invited TO attend
and discuss the matter.

Notes of the Churches.

The open-air service last Sunday even
ing was attended by the usual large con-
gregation, and the sermon was preached
by Rev. William Rogers, of the M. E.
Church. II was an earnest, thoughtful
address, particularly appropriate to in
dependence day. Mr.. Rogers spoke Of
the privileges and blessings OF living
under a government such as ours, and
traced The good influences back to the
character of the men who came here in
the beginning and established republic
that has become in reality the land OF the
free and the home of the brave. The
sermon was instructive and inspiring, and
the people were edited by it. The music
included an anthem and well-rendered
solo by Mrs. ]. P. Rush. The service
will be held as usual next Sunday even
ing, and the sermon will be by Rev. Guy
P. Bready, of the Reformed Churcfl-his
last sermon prior TO leaving Shepherds
town.
Rev. Guy p. Bready, pastor OF the Re-
formed Church OF this place, who recent
ly resigned to accept call from fancy
town, Md, will conduct his last service
here and at Kearneysvile on Sunday, as
he expects to leave for his new home on
July 18th. Rev. Mr.. Bready is an able
preacher and energetic pastor, and there
is considerable regret here that he is leav-
ing our town. We hope that he and his
wife may find their new home congenial
and pleasant and that he may prosper in
his work at Taneytown.

al church Sunday night in the firemen's

Dangerous Automobile Accident.

A thrilling automobile accident occur
red on the steep and dangerous river bill
opposite Shepherdstown shortly before
midnight last Monday night. Norval
Carter, of Berryville, driving his Chew
rolet touring car, in company with Chas.
E. Whitescarver, OF the same place, and
two young ladies from that section, had
been to Hagerstown to attend the 4th OF
July celebration. Returning late at night,
they had a lively race between Sharps-
burg and Shepherdstown with another
car, passing the other car about a halt
mile from this place. As they came.
swiftly along they began the descent OF
the long and steep river hill without
knowing just where they were, and when
about half way down, travelling at thirty
five or forty miles an hour, the car struck
bumper at turn in the road, jumped
to one side, skidded through the grass
and bushes, and smashed through fence
above w. H. Knode's brick house. 1t
broke down three panels of fence before
it was stopped by small tree and the
stump of a.large tree, turning partly over
at the edge of a steep declivity. All OF
the occupants were thrown out of the
car, and if was exceedingly fortunate that
none of them was killed. Whitescarver
was hurt pretty badly, but the three others
escaped with slight cuts and contusions.
The car following stopped aud gave
assistance, bringing Whitescarver here
to the office of DR.. John L. Meyers, who
rendered first aid. The injured man had
broken collarbone and several fractured
ribs, and was suffering a good deal from
the shock OF the accident. The National
Highway Garage was called on, and took
charge Of the party, leaving Whitescarver
in the hospital at Charles Town and TAX
ing the young women to their home near
Summit Point.
The car, which was badly wrecked,
was hauled to the garage Tuesday morn
ing. The chassis was considerably dam
aged, wheel was demolished, tenders
and running boards were twisted and
broken, lamps were smashed, an axle
was bent and the top greatly damaged.
The accident was a very bad one and
should serve as warning against reck-
less driving.

served with great bravery as member

agement of the county alms-house, and
his gentleness and kindness and his I'M
selfish service TO the unfortunate ones
who came under his care showed the
genuine Christian spirit of the man. His

kingdom of Heaven. He has been in

kindly interest in the work that made her
services invaluable. The county sustains
a genuine loss in her death, and the in
mates lose devoted friend who was al

fare. Many friends will deeply regret her

Baseball.

Baseball.
There was an interesting game OF base
ball here last Thursday between the
Shepherdstown and Martinsburg teams,
which the visitors won by a score of 10
to s. Errors were numerous and had
much to do with the score. Shepherd
and Myers pitched for Shepherdstown,
Shipley caught. Rulings and Hyde and
Creque composed the battery for Mar
tinsburg. There were several iustifiable
attempts to murder the visiting umpire,
Henry Harrison, but he was so fat and
good-natured that wrathiurned TO adUira-
ton and he was allowed to live Bob
Crowps batting was the most pleasant
feature of the game from local view
point.
An interesting game OF base ball is an
nounced for this Thursday afternoon
