Senator C. W. Swisher hastened p
home from the State Capital on the p
adjournment cf the legislature, ar- e
riving this morning. He is looking t(
tip-top and in the best of spirits. He tj
is proud of the work done at the spe- n
cial session, knowing that the people a
will be greatly benefited thereby. He n;
thinks that more, good was accom- y
plished during the fifteen days they y
were at Charleston than was ever ac- w
complished at any regular session of n
forty-five days... The legislation was
on line of economy throughout, and B
the wholesale effects of it, he says,
.will soon he apparent and add
strength to the party which brought n'
it about. th
V P'
Some farmers think there isn't any w
thing in polities. There is a great d<
deal, however, in dollar wheat, twen- pi
ty-five cent wool, five cent lambs, s<
and a good market for everything pro- P
duced on the farm. There is some- fr
thi-ne- of the same relationsbin be- h;
tween Republican policies and pros- ki
........ perity that there is between sunshine ti

together as 'antecedent and li;

AS TO ELECTION MACHINE RY.
Our neighbor, seems to be getting a
great deal of comfort out of a garbled
editorial -which it took from the West
Virginian some weeks ago. A great
many people in this vicinity, who are
recent comers, do not realize what
the Republicans had to contend with
in times past, arid so for their beneSt,
and at the request of one of our valued
subscribers, we reproduce an editorial
which appeared in the Fairmont
Index, the foster mother of the Times,
in the fall of 1S?)2. The County Commissioner
referred to was Mr, B. D.
Fleming, one of our most highly esolfl'oOTia
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount of the votes cast for
the office of County Commissioner.
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the restilt for
every officer on the ticket except
Commissioner, and the result is stated
in our tabulated statement found in
another column. We have tried to
make this fable correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibition
ticket gives him a- majority of
ten on the face of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY 13 SO SMALL
THAT IT CAN EASIi-Y BE OVERCOME
BY A RECOUNT. The work
of counting of the votes is very slow,
and it will require several days to
complete it. It is understood that-Mr.
T. A. Fleming, who was defeated on
the face of the returns for .the office
of Justice of the Peace of this district.
will demand a recount of the
votes for that office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any
other office, and doubtless there will
be none, for the majorities are so
large that they could not be affected
by a recount unless some gross irregrlarity
was found ahd nothing of that
sort is charged and none exists. The
-ecount for commissioner will take
it least, all of this week.?Fairmont
Index.
Of course, Mr. B. D. Fleming was
tounted out according to the Demo;ratic
program, as other Republicans
lad been before as well as afterwards.
Work Well Done.
The adjournment of the West Vir- '
;inia Legislature. after an extra sesion
of about fifteen working days, (
rill command the hearty approval
if the people of the State, in whose J
nterests it has so diligently labored,
["here was no dilly-dallying, but on '
he contrary its work has been char- '
icterized by zeal and industry and '
. careful examination of the measures *
.cted upon. Nothing was hurried or
llossed over, as the hills were subected
to a rigid scrutiny and vising
a committee, where they were scanied
line by line. With the, good ^
."orlt accomplished in behalf of the
axpayers the members of the body
re to be commended, for in the pasage
of the bills submitted to them
bey have carried out the pledges of f
be Republican platform and fulfilld
the promises made to those who
ivored a reform in the present sys2m
of taxation.
The bills passed will have removed
5 per cent, of direct State taxes by
be year 3907, and all of the direct
tx would have been abolished but (tr
the obtuseness and obstinacy of c
be minority in defeating the propos- T
d constitutional amendment. As it j
s but 5 cents of the tax will remain in r
907. t
We have heard a great deal about ?
he cost of the extra session, but it g
oes not begin to compare in cost and j,
haracter to the extra session under c
Democratic administVation, which
ad for its obiect the defeat of the _
- -- c
'ill of the people for the sake of par- v
y primacy. The present extra ses- s
ion tinder an enlightened Republican a
dministration stands out for an ecoomic
reform that will benefit the y
lemocratic and Republican taxpayers p
like. However, the partisan charge p
f cost does not hold, for the present p
ession has paid its own expenses, ap- c
roximately $15,000, by abolishing the a
tw which permitted the sheriffs of v
ounties to supply a guard for every f,
risoner taken to the penitentiary, p
y the operation of the new law this T
xtraordinary expense will be saved a
o the State in one year's time, and
re passage of this one bill, to say ]
othing of many others of like char- e
cter, will be an offset against the f
toney paid out for the extra session, i
."here can the Democracy of West n
irginia point to a record in any c
ay approaching such an achieve- v
tent??Wheeling Intelligencer. f

The West Virginia Democratic
State convention is deadlocked on the
question of negro disfranchisement.
From 2 o'clock till ten to-night it was
held up by the committee on resolutions.
and at that hour adjournment
was taken till ten o'clock to-morrow
morning. Under the rules adopted
nothing else can be done till the platform
is adopted. The entire southern
end of the State is solid for a declaration
of the platform in favor of white
supremacy and the disfranchisement
of the negro. Their representatives
are demanding it and Senator Henry
G. Davis is opposing it lest the adoption
of such a platform by his State"
should lose votes for the national
ticket in the northern States. SENATOR

The New York Sun, an independent |

years has been dissatisfied with Pres- j
ident Roosevelt and tried its utmost
to defeat his nomination, has been :

House. The Sun makes its position
known at length, the following being'
me of its many strong utterances: !
"We have more faith in the dis- j

INGt ,
Well, it seems that Manager Brown, ]
if the Morgantown's, can not be inluced
to come to town and meet
Slack's bunch. It's blamed funny
vhy two towns in such close proxmity
with good fast hail teams can c
lot get together. It isn't funny to E
he local fans at that. But what is
unny is that a man with such a 6
treak as Brown has would he al- '
owed to manage the affairs of a 1
dub. '
Slack calls him up by 'phone every c
mce in a while and asks him if he s
fon't please give him a game. Brown !
lways has some excuse framed up, '
,nd a baby one at that.
"Why don't some of the fair-minded 1
lorgantown enthusiasts demand '
Irown's removal, or at least put a 1
ittle nerve in his carcass by telling x
im that his team has a fighting 1
hance against Fairmont? We guar- s
ntee that it won't be such an overwhelming
defeat as Brown seems to j *
ear; in fact Fairmont fans seem to j =
ave a better opinion of Morgan- r
own's team than their own man- s
ger has. r
An effort is being made to sign x
"om Buckannon, the Benwood pitch- *

ast and people in his home town beieve
he is better than Eddie 11clichols,
now in "Boston. He is a peuliar
fellow and will play ball only ^
when the notion strikes him, all eforts
to induce him to play being
util. He has turned down several

Democrats from this part of the
State arid conservative Democrats j
from ail parts of the State are glad
that the plank favoring the' disfran-?
chisement of the negro has been
thrown out of the party platform. In
the first place it's bad politics, but
infinitely more important than that,
il s ail wrong. And the advocates of
the measure see that it's wrong, it
was not the belief that it was poor
politics that defeated this measure.
Democrats don't retreat for that reason.
Those favoring the measure
simply realized that they were wrong.
And not half those favored the lily
white plank that were said to do so.
They were but few in number. There
v/as never any real danger of the
adoption of the plank. The Democratic
party, true to its beliefs and
principles, merely listened to opinions
of its members. The measure
v/as defeated because there were not
enough who favored it.?Worgantcwn

SURPRISE TO FRIENDS.
Marriage of Professor Truscott and
Miss Craig Announced.
News has been received here by
the friends of Professor Fred Truscott
and Miss Georgia Craig telling of
their approaching marriage, which it
is understood -will talte place some
time in September, before the opening
of the fall term at the university.
The news, although not wholly unexpected.
came as a surprise, says
the Morgantown Chronicle. Pro- .
fessor Truscott has been a member of
the faculty of the university for sev- .
eral years, teaching Germanic lan- .
guages and literatures, and is very
popular with both the students and
townspeople. The summer vacation
is being spent by him at hishome at ,
New Harmony, Indiana..
Miss Craig is a member of last (
year's graduating class, -and is a very .
attractive young lady. Pier home Is t
at Shippenshurg, Pennsylvania, where ,
the wedding is to take place. She <

Surprise Party.
The Sunday School class of Mrs. t
E. S. Amos completely surprised her
last night by going to her home on
Locust avenue to spend the evening
in fun and amusement. Mr. Amos
fad heard the class' was coming, and
be and his daughter, Mrs. C. L. Hoi- C
and, had arranged things for the S
svent, but Mrs. Amos knew nothing <
whatever of it until the young folks t
tiegan to arrive. They had a most t
deasant evening. i
The Extra Session a Success.
The State of West Virginia is to be '
ongratulated upon the assured passi
rra n v nroptiftilK* oil nf r o v.- Killc c
vhich the Legislature was called into 1
xxtra session to consider. It goes r
vithout saying that the work of the e
legislature will, as a whole, meet
he approval of the executive, and be ome
the law of the State. The sub- ^
;tantial reforms enacted are. first, the t
arge reduction of the State tax on \
and and personal property: second, c
he imposition of largely increased a
axes on the liquor business, the in- a
leritance tax, a new plan of assess- t
nent that will largely increase the t
axes, of corporations generally, and
he creation of a State tax commis- s
ion. n
These things alone, while they are r
iy no means the full tax reform pro;ram
as advocated by the tax com- ~
aission and Governor White, repre- _
ent a splendid victory for the tax
eform cause. Mo legislative session
he past twenty years has done more
or West Virginia than the present
xtra session.?Wheeling Mews.

Thomas Fitzgerald, general super- J intendent
of the'B. & O., came in this
morning on No. 3. and with Superintendent
U. B. Williams went up,"over
the G. & B. division as far as Tyg- *art
Junction, from which point they
will go over the new line that is soon
to connect Buckhannon with the Grafton
and Belington lines. There remains
but only about one and a quar- ter
miles of track to lay to complete
the line of railroad through from
Grafton to Buckhannon. and a large
territory lying contingent to the lat- f
ter point. Mr. Fitzgerald, expressed
the opinion while here that the,cars ~
could be running between Pickens
and Grafton by the latter part of September.
It is also understood that in
addition to the large amount of _
freight that, will be hauled over the
new road, which has heretofore gone I
by way of Weston and Clarksburg,
there will be included in the passenger
service a through train from
Pickens to Pittsburg, adily, by way ~~
