The Menu and Gooent Reasons Whu tile Movement to Nominate Hon. A. G. Scherr lor Governor Will Be Successful. West Virginia is a state where they do things worth while—a •late where is grown on the sur* and mined beneath, fortune yielding products of oolossal mag nitude—a slate where mammoth development forces are at work and a state whose chief executive will take his rightful plaee among the governors of the foremost common wealths that go to make up our nation. The eyes of capitalists, promoters and investors are on West Virginia as the coming state of the Union. She is solving just now great problems of vital impor tance, and her reoeni rejuvenation gives to the gubernatorial contest today a significance it has not been vested with in some years. Having been in West Virginia some three or four weeks, your correspondent has watobed with intense interest the development of the political situation here. VVe have been hearing much, at all points of the state we have visited, concerning Auditor Scherr, and after carefully covering the ground] His Qualifications fpr the Position and Wiimlno Chances as viewed From an Unoreludiced Standpoint. insurance department. Hit re commendations to various legisla tures show a wise and comprehen sive grasp of many »tate needs. He has deservedly borne the oonti deuce and support of the publio with a steal fastness l hit no condi tions or situations oould sluke and as a man of the people he holds the entire confidence of the constitu ents. Auditor Scherr is a consistent and life-long Republican, working for principle always rather than for hope of reward. Ilis past deeds have proved the sincerity of hts devotion, and his conceded ability, personal worth, legislative experi ence, long public service and sound Republicanism make him the na tural and powerful rallying point for all those who desire to go for ward instead of backward, who are weary of factionism, who stand lor pure, clean, straightforward, wholesome politics and government. The following figures, evidencing the superior winn ng chances of Auditor ISoherr, are as nearly cor _ HON. A. C. SC HERR. from an absolutely unprejudiced viewpoint of the outsider, we are in position to state advisedly that there is no shadow of a doubt taat the next Republican candidate— which means practically the next governor of West Virginia—will be the Houorable Arnold C. Scherr, auditor ef the stato, and th't in all this section there could not be found a man better qualified in every particular for this honorable position, whose sterling worth and ability have been more thoroughly tried out, or who is so pre-eminent ly the man for the place. He has served his state well. Twice has he been honored by his party and the people of West Vir ginia. He is now serving his second term as auditor, in which capacity he has proven himself probably the most efficient the state has ever had, carefully and conscientiously guarding the inter ests of the people, and doing par tibularly commendable work in- the j*JV' ^ ' Aiv rect as can possibly be compiled at I tbe present writing: The total vote of West Virginia is 885, which means that 443 are necessary for | nomination. Thirty-three ootinties j have held conventions to date, 808 j are for Mr. Scherr and 240 for the opposing candidate, Mr. Swisher. Cabell county has 25 delegates which are contested and your cor* ' respondent happening to be in 1 Huntington on the day of the ©on- ' vention, would say that Mr. Scherr 1 will obtain better than ooe-half of tbe votes from that county. There 1 are 387 delegates yet to be select ed, and as only 135 more votes are needed to insure Auditor Hcherr’s nomination, all apparent chances of defeat are swept away. Successful and brainy men are found in every community but it is seldom that we are able to ohronicle facts of one who individually has done so much for bis state or who is so entirely worthy of public re ward. At the very prime of big I power and activity he holda a posi tion that oannot be disputed. There is nothing apeotaoular about this mtn of enooeea. In every line of hi* face he bears the impress of a life given over to furthering the highest ideals of duty and it would be hard, inde»I, to find * better type of the quiet, forceful, able aud successful leader of men than Arnold C. tt.iberr, candidate for governor. With the intuitive knowledge and keen observation of human nature and peoutiar mental equipment, he would have reached the top in whatever profession or enterprise he was engaged in by virtue of ceaseless energy, an indi vidual sense of duty and a very marked ability. We know we are voicing publio sentiment when we say that with Mr. Schorr as governor, the Moun tain Slate could have no better ohief executive. If party devotion, loyalty to friends, personal worth and statesmanlike qualifications are to be regarded and recognized, then no man in tbe state oan lay more logical claim to a four years tenuro in the executive mansion than the Honorable Arnold C. 8uberr.—Charleston Correspondent Commercial and Financial World. K. ot P. Lodoe Mau Meet In Hunt Inoton. Huntington, in all probability, will entertain the Grand Lodge and uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias at their conclave to be field in Ootober. Huntington last year had this honor, and it wan iecided this year to meet in'Hin ton, that place winning out after a fiard fight. It has now been discovered that Hinton cannot take care of the immense throng of visitors that yearly attend these state meetings. I’lio hotel accomodations of Hinton ire not large enough to provide for ill who would be there, and the Hinton lodge, that would have uharge of all the arrangements, after looking the situation over, reported to die Grand Chancellor Lhe condition that confronts them, recommending that some city in the state, better equipped with hotels, he selected. At the last meeting of the Hunt ington Knights of Pythias, a letter was read from Grand Chan cellor, N. C. 1'rickett, of Ravens wood, telling the likelihood of iome place, other than Hinton, being selected for the conclave, and further stating that he had received i number of letters from different lodges asking that the Grand Lodge he held in Huntington. The . matter will he decided within the next two weeks, and as be Huntington Pythiansare deter nined to do all they oan to get ffnntington selected as the place, md as a great majority of the odges throughout the State are in ravor of going there, there seems ittle donht hut that Huntington will be selected.

Hen«e Iiby.who vu well known to almost every one in thia section, wm run down by a B. A O. engine at Central City on Wednesday °l|jht, May 27, and the lower portion ot hia body ont almost to shreda. A companion, Howard Strait, who al- • so resided at Central City, waa as riously injured, his body being bad ly bruised and one arm mashed to suoh an extent that only a few. liga ments hold it to the ohonlder. From what we oan learn of the accident it seems that the two meo were sitting on the railroad track drinking a* bucket of beer and did not notioe the approaching engine. It is stated the engine was running baokwards and was en route from * Kenjva to Huntington. This being the case no doubt the tender ob scured them from the engineer. At any rate alter mangling the two men the engineer did nof stop but con tinued on I i< way to Huntington. The orics and groans of the in jured aroused nearby residents who summoned Dr. C. L Hopkins and other augeon*. The medical men bound the mangled, bleeding limba and did all they oould toward aa suaging the pain. A hurry oall was sent in for an ambulance ‘wagon so that the wounded might beoonveyed to a hospital where they oould re* ceive better attention by being placed on operating tables Irby died on the way to the hospital and was immediately taken to an under* taking establishment. Strait's con dition was such that at first it wm thought he oould not survive but ft few hours. However, late reports state that the obanoes are now in his favor and that in all likelihood bs will recover. The remains of Irby were taken to the Watts cemetery near Shoala, this county, last Friday and inter red. For Over 8ixty Yearn. ' MKH.
