Road Amendment Carried.

According to figures sent out from
Charleston, the amendment authoriz-
ing the West Virginia Legislature to is
sue bonds 70 the amount Of $4,000, 900
for the construction of good roads was
carried ~ 4 majority Of lO2 ,956. Cal
county gave it majority of 1880
while Jefferson voted against the
amendment by a majority of 2,574. The
figures, as unofficially reported. were
ll0,377 in favor of the amendment and
only 7,42l against it, Many persons
in Jefferson county voted against the
issue because they feared that our Sec
tion would not receive its fair share of
the benefits to be derived. or course
there was no real ground for such a
belief, for a State commission. such
as is proposed, will deal Justly with
all parts Of the State. Now that the
bond issue is a reality and a compre-
hensive system of road construction
is assured, let us fall in heartily with
the project and interest ourselves to
such an extent that our county will
receive full benefit when the plans are
adopted.

Town Hall Changes Hands.

The papers have all finally been
signed and recorded by which the hand
some building at the corner OF King
and New streets, erected and owned
until this time by the Shepherdstown
fire Department, passes into the pos
session OF the corporation Of Shep-
herdstown. II costs the town about
$3.50, and il is conceded to be worth
three or four times tflis amount. The
council has appointed as a board of
managers for the building Samuel !.
Hodges, II. M. Turner and r. c. Miller.
VINO will have charge Of it and make
rules and regulations regarding its
use. IL is understood that it is 10 bo
devoted to public uses. and Shepherds
town interests are to have the privilege
OF using the hall for just about the ex-
pense OF keeping ii in order. The
town fire apparatus will still be kept
there and the fremen will retain their
quarters. The town council will also
have its meeting place in the room il
has occupied for the past year or two.
All Of the bonds issued 10 pay for the
hall were taken by persons in this
community, who paid par value for
them
Now that the town owns this fine
building, we suggest that our people
interest themselves to fit il up COM
fortably and adorn il as il ought to be
IN order TO make il a popular and pleas
ant place We are sure that the ladies
will help in this good work. and we
shall hope to see il. transformed into a
place that everybody may enjoy.

SANDY HOOK, y. j., July 22.-
The American defender Resolute yes
terday won her first race Of the 1920
series for the Americas cup. She
must take two more straight victories
to prevent Shamrock IV lifting the
trophy.
Taking the lead after the start the
American sloop held first place on
most of the first leg. l5-mle beat
to windward. turned the mark first
and held almost TO the finish line in
a stiff sailing breeze. Within a mile
of the finish, Shamrock drew along
side. but Resolute, granted time
allowance of Z minutes and second
was safe.
Had il not been for the time al
lowance which the challenger had to
give she would perhaps have won, be-
cause she finished 10 seconds ahead
of the defender. She crossed the
starting line, however, 10 seconds
ahead Of Resoute, and 50, boat for
boat, by unofficial time, lost the race
by minutes and | second she had TO
give the defender.
The elapsed time Of the two sloops
was exactly equal after their struggle
over 30-mile windward and lccward
course. Indeed. to the novice, the
result was i'm the nature Of paradox,
for whereas Shamrock was first to
cross the finish line and took exactly
