Klncwood, October 12, 1
The Journal's wool and tin plate
mill is running at a high rate ot
speed trying to get away from the
tax laws.
Won’t some kind friend take the
editor of the Journal back to the
sod before the Rev. Tittle beAts him
in the contest for the postoffice ?
We should feel that life is no
thing but an empty dream, if it were
not for the amount of fun we get
out of tickling the editor of the
Journal and the gang behind him.
The Journal might give us a few
chapters on the Mercer, McDowell
and Fayette counties bucking on
the Dawson assessment. This
would be an eye opener for its
readers.
Elkins and Dawson say the tax
issue “should not be a party issue.”
The Journal and the “Fridays” say
it must be purely a Republican
party issue in which all other poli*
tical parties must be fought. That
is the difference between brains and
buikwheat batter.
Bro. Whetsell, of the Journal,
and Bro. Reed of the Republican,
remind us very much of the “two
Johns.” They are playing to the
gallery gods applause and approval
of their advocacy of the notorious
tax laws, but they are waiting in
vain for the approval and applause.
The Arcus makes a personal re
quest of its subscribers to read care
fully the letter of “Only A Farmer"
published in this issue. The Ar
gus hopes that the Reno faimer
will favor us with many more such
letters. They are the kind that set
the people to thinking and studying.
The Tucker Demoorat published
at Parsons, is very greatly improved.
Has a new man at the helm, George
A. Dean being editor and publisher
and a new dress of ten point type
for the home print, making a hand
some appearance for the inside
pages and they are full of good live
reading matter well printed.
There is talk of another peniten
tiary in West Virginia. Is even the
Democratic minority in this State to
be wiped out?—State Journal.
Yes, and become the majority in
the State if we can get enough Peni
tentiaries to hold the repeaters,
boodlers, grafters and ignorant and
vicious negroes and foreigners who
placed the Republican party in
power and keep it there.
In this issue will be found part
of the real estate assessment for
Lyon district. We will complete
that district next week. We have
a copy from the records of the
whole county and will give it as
fast as we can find room for it. We
will publish the incorporated towns
separated same as the districts.
We also have a summary of lots,
farms, districts, corporations etc.,
publish that will be a valuable
document.
We have a red hot roast this week
for some of our dead beat sub
scribers, but have decided to let it
go over till next week, as several
of them have written us begging off
for a few days longer and promising
to pay up. If they don’t do so by
next week we will make it so warm
for them they will pray for a hard
winter to set in at once. Our chap
ter on their pedigrees will positively
appear next week, and they will
think a whole nest of yellow jackets
are after them.
The AkGUs leads- -the Journal
mutt follow. It is the laugh and
talk of the connty that the Journal
has not an original idea above a
bumblebee. It is a base imitator.
The only original thing about it is
its dense ignorance and stupidity in
politics. The immense Republican
vote in Preston county is the thing
that has kept its head above the
water mark. It has not attained
its standing in the journalistic field
on its merits. It depends upon the
Machine and the Ring for its pro
motion. _
We want to call special attention
to The Rambler’s letter this week.
For genuine wit, humor, satire and
ridicule it has no equal. The Ram
bler is a unique being, as he is per
fectly original in all his writings.
His letters are read by the most
prominent rnen of the State who
write us that they thoroughly enjoy
them. Those who predicted The
Rambler had exhausted his mine of
fun have another prediction coming
to them. His admiration for the
tax laws and “pie” is too great to
quit.

5*or pure unadulterated cusscdness
and despisable downright meanness
the Journal leads the procession,
but as this is the only way it can
lead, it may think that it is better
to have led and lost than never to
have led at all. Here are some
samples of its superlative meanness.
It quotes from The Arcus of last
fall when we were telling the people
about the taxes they would have to
pay this year under the true and
actual value—increased—three-fold
personal property assessment which
was to take effect this year under the
law which had just been passed by
the Republican Legislature and
which we accepted as the law in
good faith and wrote accordingly.
We also made our calculations
on a 34 cent state levy for this year,
which was in accordance with the
same law which had been passed by
the Republican Machine of which
the Journal is a small, dirty and
greasy cog. Months after that, in
fact during the present year, this
same uncertain and unreliable ma
chine changed the law, postponing
its taking effect till next year and
cutting the State Levy down from
24 to 20 cents. This of course
makes our statements of last year
incorrect now and the Tournal has
the despisable littleness to impose
on its readers by quoting from The
Argus of last year in regard to these
matters and saying to them that
“you see the Argus lied to you."
“The Argus told you so and so and
you see now that it is all a lie, as
nothing of the kind has happened
and you can not believe anything it
tells you," etc.
We submit to the people of this
county and the honest and fair-mind
ed readers of both the Journal and
the Argus if a paper is not desper
ately hard up and badly driven to the
wall when it seeks to impose on its
patrons and defame an honest op
ponent by such dirty dealing as we
have called attention to above.
The good old Greenbrier Indepen
dent has this to say of a well known
newspaper man:
What think ye of George Byrne,
of Charleston, as the Democratic
candidate for Congress from this
district next year? We saw much
of Mr. Byrne at Webster Springs
last week where he made a number
of excellent speeches. He is a eo
gent writer, a ready debator, a strong
and persuasive speaker, and the man
who tackles him with pen or tongue
will fine a foeman worthy of his
steel. Mr. Byrne won much well
deserved reputation in the state last
year by the speech delivered by him
in the State Convention on the negro
suffrage question and his excellent
work on the stump buring the sub
sequent campaign. Byrne is bald
headed and looks like Rockefeller
but unlike the Oil King, he is poor
and not wearing his life away in the
effort to improve his condition in
this regard. He is honest, earnest
and able on the stump, as a candi
cate for Congress, would make a
fight against the boodlers and graf
ters that would not soon be for
gotten.
We rise to second the above nom
ination. Let the Democrats run
him next year for Congress down
in that district and then in 1908 we
will make him Governor.
The Journal is now very much
worried about The Rambler articles
in The Argus and charges Col. W.
J. Lavelle with being the writer.
Thf. Argus has many special con
tributors and we are very proud of
them. We have always made a spe
cialty of original matter and in this
we greatly excel the Journal. The
Argus has quite a reputation l»oth
at home and abroad for its very able
articles and strong corps of contri
butors and among the very best and
ablest of them all is Col. Lavelle,
who has been writing for The Argus
for the past twenty years. In fact
was one of the editors of The Argus
before we took charge sixteen years
*k°- :_
Last fall during the big campaign
we were away for a week or ten
days driving through some of the
interior counties and while we were
away we left Col. Lavelle in charge
of the paper and the campaign in
this county and he made things so
red hot for the Journal and the Re
publican Jim Jam Committee, that
they have never gotten over it yet
and are still belly aching about it.
We announced at the time that
Col. Lavelle was in charge and we
have no apologies to make for it.
In fact we could not have gotten
another man in the State to fill the
bill as well as the Colonel did, and
that’s what “ails Manner.”
If the Argus is the mouthpiece of
the people as it now says it is, why
is it nothing but those who are close
ly connected with certain corpora
tions need apply for space in that
paper?—Journal.
We dare the Journal to name a
•ingle contributor who ever applied
for space in this paper or a single
article ever refuted publication so
long as the ordinary and general
rales of newspapers were complied
with, and we mean that no respec
table paper publishes anonymous
communications and that it tlte only
kind ever turned down by this
paper. Now make good or admit
you lied again.
KICKED 0> ASNKSSMKS T.
Fayette, Mercer and McDowell
counties were three of the large Re
publican counties of the State that
stood loyally by Dawson and hia
tax laws. They rolted up their usual
Republican majorities for Dawson
and tax reform! They responded
to the slogan of “stand by the par
ty/’ give the old party another
chance," “you can trust the old
party," and “vote the ticket straight
from President to Constable," which
was the stereotyped argument of the
Journal during the entire oatnpaign.
As loyal and patriotic Republicans
they felt it was their duty to stand
by the party, on the principle that
“The King can do no wrong.” They
believe the fairy tales that the Daw
son tax laws would cure all the ills
that taxation is heir to.
All went as merry as a marriage
bell until the Administration Asses
sors got through assessing their
lands. Then it was “Presto
change!” They awoke from their
trance. They made a bee line for
the County Court. They declared
in language more emphatic than ele
gant that the “stand pat” spellbind
ers had lied to them and they would
not stand for such assessment. As
loyal and patriotic Republicans it
would ruin them. The Administra
tion Assessors had assessed their
lands from five to ten times higher
than the old law. They had voted
for Dawson and tax reform because
they told them it would reduce their
taxes! They demanded of the Coun
ty Court to cut them down. Mercer
county responded to the demand
and cut it down 45 per cent. Not
to be outdone the McDowell County
Court went Mercer twenty better
and cut it 65 per cent. By this time
the excitement was great and the
news had spread into Fayette coun
ty, the home of State Tax Commis
sioner Charles Wesley Dillon. The
Fayette County Court took a far off
look. The farmers were coming like
Father Abraham's forty thousand
strong. The Fayette County Court
was facing a fact and not a theory.
The Court would have to act and
act quick. Mercer and McDowell
had slid down the greasy pole. The
Fayette County Court resolved that
Mercer and McDowell could not
whack the Dawson assessment of
“true and actual value” any harder
than they could and get away with
the goods. So the Fayette County
Court proceeded to go into execu
tive session and wife the entire
Dawson assessment off the books and
made the assessment of Fayette coun
ty as it formerly was under the old
law / And the band played, “Wil
lie Dawson we don't want any of
your tax law? 1”
But seriously speaking, farmers of
Preston, what do you think of such
infernal tax laws? Talk about “true
and actual value” of assessment.
Roar about uniformity of taxation!
Shout about just an equitable tax
law! Why, if this State of affairs
continues in other counties the State
will go bankrupt for want of funds
to meet the expenditures. The
counties that have been assessed at
the “true and actual value,” like
Preston has been assessed, will have
,to pay the burden of the taxes.
As “Only A Farmer” has well
said, Gov. White said the reason
wo needed the new tax laws’ was to
“raise more revenue.” If the old
tax laws would raise enough revenue
to meet the extravagant expendi
tures of the State governmen under
Machine rule, how are we to “raise
more revenue” with such damnable
tax laws?
Farmers of Preston, can you re
member when this State was cursed
by such tax laws? The fact is that
the Machine has lost its head. It
started out by promising the people
that the new tax laws would reduce
their taxes. When the assessment
was fairly completed at the “true
and actual value" they discovered
that it would largely increase the
taxes. The people were up in arms.
The Machine had deceived them.
They were thirsting for revenge.
The Machine saw its doom The
result is that the different County
Courts are cutting and slashing the
new assessment in order to calm
the anger of the people.
Yes, in seme counties the taxes
will be less. In other counties they
will be much higher, and in the
wind-up there will not be enough
revenue raised to pay the running
expenses of our public institutions.
Then we can close our public insti*
tutions and thank the Ix>rd that we
live in a state that is controlled by
a Machine which makes a specialty
of “Tax Reform!"
'taxpayers of Preston, what do
you think of it anyway? Can you
realize that the counties that are
making a midnight raid on the
Dawson tax laws will pay much less
taxes than Preston?

One of the encouraging signs is
the fact that the Ring and its hench
men are growing desperate as they
see the best element of the party
joining hands with all classes of
honest taxpayers to “turn the ras
cals out.” The Ring has had such
absolute control of the organization
that it simply dictated the nomina
tions of the Republican party in
Preston county to suit the interest
of the Ring.
1 he Journal, which has always
been the pliant organ of the Ring,
has lost its prestige with the rank
and file of the party. It is true that
under the editorial management of
the man from the sod it has not
been able to render the service to
the Ring that it did under its former
editors owing to the magnitude of
the load of hay seed which it has to
carry, but it must not be blamed for
its inability to sustain the Ring for
it is not ungrateful for the kindly
consideration of the Ring in placing
the editor in the postoffioe.
The editor-sodsinan has gathered
around him his faithful “Fridays”
who are likewise enjoying the pie
furnished them by the Ring, who
have no higher conception of journ
alism than they have of the provis
ions of the infamous tax laws.
In their blissful ignorance they im
agine they have only to indulge in
personal abuse and villification of
those whom they can neither brow
l>eat or hoodwink. They were
taught this by the organizers of the
Machine and the Ring and they pre
sume upon the condition of the rank
and file of their party to believe that
personal abuse and villification is
argument. The rank and file, how
ever, have taken their measure and
they are doomed to everlasting
disappointment.
Will the Journal inform its read
ers that the original tax laws as
passed by a Republican Legislature
at the extra session during the sum
mer of 1904, provided for the
assessment of all personal property
at its true and actual value for the
year of 1905, and that it take effect
for taxation this year which would
have increased the valuation at least
three times what it has been hereto
fore and the taxes accordingly? Will
it also explain that ihis part of the
law was changed during the present
year of 1905, so as not to take effect
till next year, same as on the real
estate? No it will not be half that
fair and decent, but will keep on
publishing squibs like the following
from its last issue:
“The year 1905 is the year that
will try the souls of farmers and
laboring men to pay their taxes.”_
Argus of October 20, 1904,
The above item from The Akgus
last fall was absolutely correct and
true at thau time. How could we
know then that the Republicans
would get so badly scared over their
new tax laws, that they would
change the law and put off the evil
hour of their undoing as long as
possible. We still stand by the
above statement of The Argus of
Oct. 20, 1904 and as republished in
the Journal Oct. 5, 1905, only the
Republicans have postponed the
consumation of it for a year.

TURNIN') THE TAIILES
The Journal keeps on lying about
this paper being influenced or con
trolled or subsidized in some way
by the B. & O. railroad or some
one connected with it. It is hardly
necessary for us to say that the
Journal is a liar and the truth is not
in it for everybody knows that with
out us repeating it. Simply because
an employ of the B. & O. road
contributes to the oolumns of this
paper as does people in almost
every vocation of life, because The
Argus is the peoples paper and its
columns open to any one and every
one who writes an article of any
kind fit for publication. This pa
per is not the pliant tool of any
ring, boss, or Jim Jam Committee,
who have to be consulted about its
policy or the articles published in
it. Will the Journal dare deny that
the special agents of at least one
railroad and other corporate interest
in the county as great as that of the
B. & O. contribute to its o dumns ?
Will the Journal dare deny that
some very high officials contribute
to its editorial columns and shape
its policy ? Will the Journal dare
deny that the officials of a National
Bank contribute to its columns ?
Much more of this could be rub
bed in on the poor old rudderless,
headless and degenerate Journal but
what's the use. Still it has the
brazen effrontry to criticise The Ar
gus aoout mercenary correspond
ents and corporation contributors
with no reason whatever for doing
so except that an employ for the
B. & O., who used to edit this pa
per a number of years ago and was
chairman of the Democratic Com
mittee in this county for years and
naturally still takes in interest in
the paper and his party as he has a
perfect right to do.

New York City now nave direct
ferry connection with 23rd Street
Terminal in addition to Liberty
Street; the South Ferry Terminal
having been discontinued.
Twenty third Street is the most
popular terminal of the great metro
polis because of its convenience to
the hotel, theatre and shopping dis

the terminal building a glass roofed
canopy was constructed fifty feet
wide, under which the crosstown
cars of 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th

are protected from the weather
leaving the ferry house, and also
avoid the annoyance of street traffic.
All baggage destined to New York

A complete electric cab service
has also been established for the

Death mid liuriat or .Ur*. Felix
Elliott. Hr.
Mary Startzman Elliott was born
near Aurora, this county, October
2d, 1828, and departed this life
October 7th, 1905, aged 77 years
and 5 days.
She was the eldest daughter of
Jacob and Elizabeth Startzman.
Her school days were spent at
Carmel school, and in 1847 she
attended the Kingwood Academy,
then under the preceptorship of the
Rev. John Howell. She was an
apt scholar and possessed a good
education for those days.
She was married to I)r. Felix
Elliott on the 28th of November,
1850, To this union there were
born ten children, of whom five
are still living. The deceased are:
Olivia C., who died in her fifth
year; William A., who died in
infancy; Wellington, who died when
four years of age; Clay, who died in
his fifth year, and Marv, who died
in her twelfth year. The living are:
Flora, now Mrs. Hughes of Ruck
hannon, W. Va.; Miss Lillie of
Kingwood; Edward, who practices
law in Chicago; Felix, following
the merclmntile pursuit in King
wood, and Emma, now Mrs.
Werner of Morgantown.
The deceased was confirmed in
the Lutheran Church in 1848, and
in 1857 joined the Raptist church.
She was of a pleasant and gentle
disposition, leading a good and con
sistent Christian life for these past
00 years. Her husband, the Rev.
Dr. Felix Elliott, preceded her to
the Spiritland hut 48 days.
The funeral services, conducted
hv Rev. R. M. Ramsey, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, took place
Sunday evening at 3:30 o’clock,
and were attended hy a large num
ber of sympathizing friends and
neighbors of the bereaved family,
after which the remains were laid
to rest in the Kingwood cemetery.
The following relatives from a
distance attended the funeral of
Mrs. Elliott:
Thomas Startzman, of Carmel;
Edward Elliott and wife of Chicago;
Draper Hughes and wife of Buck
hannon; Arnold Werner, wife and
son, Hubert, of Morgantown, and
Wilson S. Martin of Fairmont.
In the death of I)r. and Mrs.
Elliott, Kingwood has lost two of
her venerable and most respected
citizens. They bctli enjoyed the
distinction of having done much
toward the upbuilding of Christianity
in our midst, and while they were
not blest with wealth in this world’s
goods, they were blest with endow
ments that proved to be of far
greater value to them than gold
and silver. The fact that they
educated nnd raised a model family
of children that have not only been
their solace and comfort in their
declining years, but havo also been
a blessing and inspiration to all
who know them is the greatest
compliment that could be paid to
them. We might add that they
have been rewarded in this world
for their faithful stewardship with
long life and connubial bliss, and
have l)cen called to their future
reward, n3 it were, almost band in
band. Peace to their ashes.
