NEW POOL RIVALLING ELK FORK IS AMQMO THE PROBABILITIES FOL LOWINcTtIIE STIUKB?THE WELL WAS DOING 100 BARRELS AN HOUR SUNDAY MORNING-AN IMPORT ANT WELL DUE THIS WEEK IN THE ELK FORK FIELD?REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK IN TIIE OIL, FIELDS. One of the largest well# completed in i the West Virginia oil field for some i tlmo was that of the South Penn Oil' Company on the Plerpolnt farm at "the I Jug," In the vicinity of Centervllle, Ty ler county, which woj drilled In Satur day evening. A report was received froitv the well Sunday which stated that It started off at the rate of better than 150 "barrels an hour and that it was making a little over 1Q0 barrels Sunday morning. The well Is located about four miles from Mlddlebourne, In the terri tory which was opened up about a year ago by the South Penn drilling in a well on the Meredith farm. Since that time a number of wells have been completed, some of which have been good pro ducers, but dry holes have predominated. As a result of the dry wells very little was done during the winter. The South Penn people have a large block of leases on property in that sec tion and going just beyond the line of dry holes drilled some time ago, they drilled the well which "has just come in. The well is only a short distance from a number of large gas wells and as has been the history of all gas fields In the state, there Is shown to be a large pool of oil in the Immediate vicinity. The company drilled the well, though every Indication for getting a. good producer was against them. This well opens up a large amount of new territory which has not been tested heretofore, and there Is a possibility that a pool rivaling Elk Fork may be openedi up in the vicinity of "the Jug." Nearly all the large operators have leases In the territory and there will probably be a great deal of new work stearted in a very short time. A very important well due in the sand the coming week in the southwest ex tentlon of the Elk Fork field is that of the Sun Oil Company on the Chaplin farm. This well is located about a mile ahead of developments and is one of the most important wild cait wells drilling in the state at the present time. Barnsdall & Co., should be in the sand at their No. 4. on theT. G. Hawkins,the early part of the week. The casing was put in Saturday and last evening the well^was reported in the big lime on top of the sand.

AN OftNlHTti-H|p To the Republicans of Ohio County: At the solicitation of a number of friends I have decided to stand for the nomination for superintendent of tree schools of this count?, subject to the ruling of the Republican primary. My duties In preparing for tho com ing Institute will not ndmlt of thy mak ing a canvass of the county before the primary, hence I take this mothod of Placing before voters the following statements for their consideration: It has foeen my aim during my pres ent incumbency to enforce the require ments of law regarding Institute at tendance; to visit all schools once each year; and to ralae tho professional standard of teachers In Ohio county by making examinations more rigid? always having In this the hearty co-op eration of those-tfho have been assocl ated with me on the board of exam iners. Tho examinations have benefit ed -both the Intelligent, progressive teacher and the tax-payer. The teach er, because he Is given a chance to prove his superiority Irt scholarship, and gain a higher certificate than his poorly informed neighbor. This ho could not do were examinations so "easy" that oven the drone could pass with a re spectable average. The grade of certificate determines the teacher's wages. Tho first grade draws the highest rate and tho third grade the lowest rate. Under a low standard In examination nearly every applicant can make a good certificate and draw a high rate of wages?and the tax-payer foots the bill; but he doesn't often get what he pays for?a first grade teacher. Under n higher standard only pro gressive teachers can mnko the higher grades of certificates; henie when trus tees hire a teacher of a certain grade they get what they bargain'for, the tax-payer gets what he pays "for, and the teacher ranks according to his scholarship, which Is fair to all con cerned. Firmly believing In educational pro gress, and that the patrons of our schools desire and have a right to teachers well qualified for their work, I have stood during the past three years for the higher standard in teach ers' examinations. And such will still be my policy should you again entrust the office of county superintendent to my keeping. On these grounds I re spectfully ask for your support at the coming primaries. JAMES C.
