SOME Progressive
BEE CULTURISTS
University Expert in Coun-
ty to Confer With
Them.

Prof. L. NJ Peairs, of the West vir-
ginia University, WAS in Fairmont yes
terday and went with County Agri.
cultural Agent w. E. McComas to vari-
GUS parts of the county comforting with
farmers relative to bee culture. While
in the county he visited C. William
Atha, ]. M. Downs and B. A. Am
mons, OF Lincoln district, all of whom
are interested in bees.
Prof. Peairs emphasized the need OF
winter protection. Year before lasl
eighty per cent. Of the bees of the
state died during the very severe
winter.
Mr.. Ammons had apout twenty five
colonies and but one colony died that
winter This is due to the fact that
Mr.. Ammons is caring for his bees In
an up-to-date manner. He packs each
of his hives in planer shavings and in
this way the bees are able to with
stand the cold weather. Mr.. Ammons
also has all modern hives and extracts
his honey.
At present the extention department
of the West Virginia University is
working on three important things es-
sential to successful bee culture,
namely: using modern hives, winter
protection and extracting honey. Mr..
Ammons Of Lincoln district is now
practicing all of these.

MOONSHINERS KILL
PROHIBITION OFFICER
Three Men Broke in Door at
His Home and Killed
Him in Bed.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Aug. 12-
VIII Farley, deputy state prohibition
officer was shot and instantly killed
late last night while in bed at his
home on Harts Creek, the shooting
being done by alleged moonshiners
according to information received at
noon today by w. s. Hallahanan, the
state prohibition commissioner. Far
ley's wife occupied the bed with him
at the time.
The attack on the prohibition Off
Ger followed a raid which he and dep
uties G. S. Johnson had conducted
earlier in the evening on Hoover
creek in which they seized still, dis
Snantled it and took 1t to Farley's
home. There wyere three men in
the attack and Farley was shot three
times.
Johnson, who was in another room
opened fire on the outlaws but they
got away. A posse was organized

Considerable Effort Being
NSsde to Get 1t Out
- Some Places.
TILL8OCLOCE
Not Believed That the So
cialist Candidates Will
Loom Large

Indications at 2 o'clock this after
noon were that the vote would be light
at the municipal election, which is be-
ing held today, the first in five years.
In some wards the vote was almost
normal for the same time OF the day
at other elections but as whole It
was short.
Both the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are endeavoring to get out the
vote and in many respects considera-
BILE effort is being made despite the
rainy and unfavorable weath9r.
The polls opened at 6:10 o'clock
this morning and shortly afterwards
there was promise of the approach OF
storm. Later heavy rain set in and
fell during the greater portion of the
day. Considering the inclement wealth
er there was a fair sized turnout OF
voters. The polls will close at 5
o'clock.
Quite little interest is centered in
the vote the Socialist party will re-
ceive. Rumors have been afloat that
the labor people and railroaders are
voting that way, but well-seasoned
politicians place the total Socialist
vote at from $50 to 200. The Social
lists carried their fight up until the
last. and on the court house steps last
evening G. H. Duthrie, a Clarksburg
attorney, addressed $50 people on the
issues of the campaign. He attacked
both Of the old line parties, and adyo-
Gated the doctrine of Socialism gen
orally.
Old line politicians say the Socialist
party lost prestige during the war and
point to its feeble showing in the
county at the last election.
AT 1880 o'clock this afternoon the
in Sixth ward there were 1853 votes
cast. Shortly before 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon there were 10 votes cast at
the Fifth ward polling place, which is
at the mayors office. At noon at the
Sixth ward there were 126 votes cast.
An analysis of some scattered
counts indicate probably that Justice
of the Peace w. w. Conaway will lead
the Democratic ticekt slightly over his
party mate, Clyde Morris. In some
wards, w. E. Arnett appears to be
running slight bit heavier over the
other Republican, q. F. Davis.
In the entire city there are 4,2Ss
voterseligible to cast vote according
to the books Of the registrars.

Upon Delligatti

Delligatti, man by the name Of b.
B. Mason, formerly traffic cop In
Fairmont, was before Mayor Bowen
this morning and fined $40. Thomas

When Mason made at Delligatt, the
latter picked UP rock, Mason being
much the larger man.
Seeing that Delligatti was protect
ing himself with the rock, Mason then
asked that Delligatti throw down the
weapon and talk the matter over
peaceably. Delligatti complied with
his request. and Immediately after he
threw down his rock. Mason went af-
ter him. Yesterday DellIgatti went
before Mayor Bowen and Bwore out a
warrant against Mason charging as
sault.
