(Written For The Pioneer Press) Mrs. Maddox, who was from the "sacred soil"—Virginia was, as are all Virginia ladles who amount to anything, a splendid cook. She had a Smithfield Ham which she had cooked the day before over which she had poured just before it was done, some white wine, into which it lay soaking all night. Mr. Thomas's appetite was so voracious and the chicken was disappearing with such celerity that she bethought to ask him if he would like a bit of Smithfield Ham. Mr. Thomas was agreeable. Being a typical New Yorker, native to the soil—he was true to the characteristics of his tribe—he was a large and generous feeder and his conversational powers were AI, and embraced many subjects from theology to politics, but he was not an illuminating conversationalist. As Bert Williams used to say, it was "des talk." Mrs. Maddox gave him a large slice of her Smithfield Ham, and his eye glistened with gratification and his tongue grew a trifle more limber and like the band which "played on," Mr. Thomas talked on until the Sweet Potato pie, flavored with a strong solution of cooking Brandy was produced, and a liberal slice of this yellow "joy forever" was placed before him. "Madam," he said, I am unable to find language in my limited vocabulary to express my feelings and sentiments regarding this splendid dinner you have given me. It is a feast fit for the gods. I have never tasted such fine broiled chicken, nor such biscuits in my life and this pie madam, this pie is simply magnificent! Have another slice Mr. Thomas. Ma give Mr. Thomas some more pie please said Miss Susie. Why certainly said Mrs. Maddox I am glad the young man enjoys it so much and she duplicated the first slice, and Mr. Thomas promptly hid it under his vest. When the party arose from the table the young man had a distressed look on his face, and an appearance of tightening below the belt line. He had dined well and he seemed to be trying to lay in enough to last at least two days. Susie belped her mother to clear away the dishes and Mr. Maddox and Mr. Thomas went out on the front porch for a smoke. Susie brought a pitcher of sweet cider and each had a glass. This seemed to assimilate with the food which Mr. Thomas had tucked away under his gement, on the cooling bracing air appeared to help him to feel natural. The two chatted until the ladies were ready to go to the station house to see the other Mr. Maddox. Mr. Thomas and Miss Susie led the way followed by her parents. After a walk of about three quarters of an hour they reached the dingy leaden colored building facetiously called the City Hotel. Mr. Thomas and Miss Susie were the first to enter. The Sergeant with a pen behind his ear was seated at an old desk which had seen better days, with a newspaper in his hands which he was not reading. Good evening Sergeant said Mr. Thomas. Good evening he responded gruffly. "We are come continued HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W. Mr. Thomas, to identify the body of the colored man who was killed today by a horse." Oh yes, said the Sergeant "aint you the fellow that went up town with an officer to notify the widow of this man of her husband's death?" This is the young gentleman spoke up Miss Susie with emphasis on gentleman, who came to notify us, but we fear there is some mistake. By this time Susie's father and mother had arrived. The Sergeant looked up at Mr. Maddox and the moment their eyes met he let out a yell "what are you doing in here? How did you get out of that room?" My dear man said Mr. Maddox are you mad—crazy? What do you mean by yelling at me in that manner? I have just come in here from the street. I haven't been locked up in a room at all, as you imagine. Calm yourself sir and let us try to understand the mystery whatever it is. Is your name Maddox, asked the Sergeant recovering somewhat from his excitement. My name is Maddox sir, I am a Boss Carpenter. I live at the upper end of Cuyler street diagonally opposite the Holcomb Shoe Factory. I just reached town at 9:35 tonight to hear that I was killed by a horse about 340 today, and my wife and daughter, and this young gentleman came here to try to find out how a man in one place can be killed in another when he isn't in the other place. You say your name is Maddox again asked the Sergeant, "my name is certainly Maddox sir. "Well By Georgel said the Sergeant this case stumps me. Come here! Lieutenant he called to an officer in another room. When that officer approached the desk and saw standing there Mr. Maddox, he looked his surprise and said to him, w-b-y you are the man that was kicked to death today by a horse, on Main street." I don't think I am said Mr. Maddox, I think you have that man locked up here somewhere for disturbing the peace. The two police officers eyed Mr. Maddox closely and then the Sergeant asked the Lieutenant to relieve him for a few minutes until he showed the body to these people. Leading the way he took them down one flight of stairs in the rear of the building to a room used as a morgue, in which there was a dim light burning. In the centre of the room stretched upon a long table was the other Maddox covered with what had at one time been a white sheet. The Sergeant approached the body and lifted the covering, exposing the face of the unfortunate man. Mrs. Maddox and Miss Susie looked first at the husband and father and then at his double. Sergeant O'Meura could not keep his eyes off the living Maddox. Do you know this man he asked Mr. Maddox. I do not, I have never to my knowledge seen him before he said promptly. He must be a stranger here. Queer said the Sergeant, and the same name as yours. How do you know that that is his name? We found a card in his pocket with that name on it. May I see that card Sergeant asked Mr. Maddox. Yes I'll show it to you when you go up stairs. Husband said Mrs. Maddox, if you had not come home tonight I would have sworn on seeing this man that he was my husband. And Father said Miss Susie, I never have seen two men --- more alike than this man and yourself. It is really wonderful how you so closely resemble each other even to the mole on your faces and the way your moustache is trimmed. I wonder who the poor fellow is and where he came from? I have never seen anything to equal this, said Mr. Thomas, and it has taught me a lesson I will never forget. I am lost in wonder and surprise over the turn this affair has taken. Well officer, said Mr. Maddox, you see I am not that man and I am glad of it, and sorry for him; let us return to the office if you please. The Sergeant replaced the sheet over the body and lowered the light and led the party upstairs. "They do be sayin' that all colored man look aloike, said the Sergeant, an' now I believes it, for I have niver sane two min more exactly aloike, Bedad it bates me." They had now reached the office and the Sergeant produced the card found on the dead man, when he was searched in the station. Mr. Maddox took it and scanned it closely for a second or so; then he said: This is an old card, belonging to me, which I used when I was a member of the Monumental Aid Society, which is no longer in existence. I carried it in my pocket with some old letters and papers and I must have pulled it out when I was on my way to work yesterday or today, when I was taking my small time book out to make an entry which I had forgotten to put down. This man's name is not Maddox. This evidence is simply circumstantial. I would like to know what is his name and where he comes from. He is certainly a stranger around here. A searching investigation disclosed the fact that the unfortunate man was as Mr. Maddox had surmised, a stranger in the town, who had come there only recently from a small place in Virginia, in quest of work on the public highway. His name was Solomon Hazlitt. Some days after his death, his wife and old mother claimed and were given the body and he now sleeps the sleep of the just in the sacred soil of his native state. Mr. Maddox is still alive and his wife thanks God daily that she isn't a widow. (THE END.) THE SUGAR SITUATION Sugar is going up, and the prediction is made by dealers that there will be a continued advance before it drops again. The principal reason assigned for this fluctuation is the shortage of the Cuban supply. But there is good authority for the statement that there is no shortage whatever in the United States, but that on the contrary the sugar trust has an abundant supply, which was purchased when the cost was low, and that it is taking advantage of a pretext for advancing prices. Legislation will hardly reach this evil. The only effectual remedy is that which several newspapers are advocating—economizing in the use of sugar. We can get along with much less than we are using, and be healthier for it. If the people should decide to dispense with cakes and pies and sweetmeats of all kinds, in order to teach the sugar trust a lesson, they would not only force down the price, but they would also gain so much in physical strength that they might conclude to get along with less of it in their permanent diet.—Wheeling Register. NEW SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE NEW SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE Not a College of Agriculture; Not a High School; Not a Preparatory School. Under the above heading the Twice-Week Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, Wash., has the following to say of the new School of Agriculture to be started at the State University at Morgantown next month: will be well attended," says the Rural New Yorker. The colleges of agriculture have their place, and are learning to till it well, but there has always been a need for agricultural schools which shall touch forming with "The West Virginia University is to start a School of Agriculture this fall. Domestic science will also be taught. The design of this school is to fit young men for practical farm work and to give young women a practical knowledge of domestic or houskeeping science. It is therefore intended to develop farm makers and home makers. This school is distinct from the college of agriculture. It is not a preparatory school or a competitor of high schools. It will simply give farm boys and girls a chance to study advanced farming —for anyone who has passed the eighth grade may enter. "This is a good move, and we believe the school" Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. RESTITUTION. Some years ago a gentleman received an anonymous letter from a stranger, inviting him to meet the party at a certain time and place to receive a communication to his advantage. The gentleman kept the appointment, and met a respectable looking man, who proposed that they go to an inn and ask for a private room. When seated the stranger presented him with six hundred dollars. The gentleman refused to take it without an explanation, and the stranger said: Twenty years ago your uncle owned the property you now possess. My sister was his housekeeper. After his death she found three hundred dollars folded in a trunk. She put it in my hands with the request to restore it to you as the lawful heir. I promised to do so, but being financially embarrassed, I made use of it. Being now in better circumstances, and moved by my conscience, I restore the money with interest; and a heavy load is taken from my mind." O * * In a written examination on Astronomy, one question was, "What happens when there is an eclipse of the moon?" A student, with rather a good knack of getting out of a difficulty, wrote: "A great many people come out to look at it." HARD KNOCK FOR GIRLS There are as many worthless girls as there are worthless boys says Bert Walker in his Osborn (Kansas) Farmer. Just as many girls lie around the house and refuse to help mother as boys loaf the streets and let father do the work. The lazy girls sleep just as late in the morning as the lazy boy. The worthless boy puts his defects on parade more than a VOL. 30. NO.29 will be well attended,' says the Rural New Yorker. The colleges of agriculture have their place, and are learning to fill it well, but there has always been a need for agricultural schools which shall teach farming rather than agriculture as we are coming to understand that word. Many farm boys are discouraged or frightened at the requirements for college entrance. They are fitted to enter a school, and would do so if they had the chance. That the Spokesman-Review, published in Washington, copied the favorable comments of the Rural New Yorker shows that the plan of this new school is one which appeals to those interested in practical agricultural education throughout the country. This is also evidenced by the fact that inquiries concerning the school have been received by the College of Agriculture from prospective students in many states. worthless girl, for he will be found bushing around lunch counters, the barber shops and ballard hall. The worthless girls have a way of hiding their meanness. But when it comes to fishing in the matrimonial pool, you will notice the worthless boy lands about as many fish as the worthless girl. And as result lots of men would be rich and happy if it were not for their wives; while other men would be in the poorhouse or starve to death if they can't have jewels for wives. A FRIEND OF THE FARMER. Representative Lever, of South Carolina, proves himself a friend of the farmer in the admirable bill he introduced in the House to establish agricultural extension departments In connection with the agricultural schools and experiment stations in the various states. The plan contemplates a national appropriation of $15,000 to be met by a similar state appropriation, for the purpose of disseminating such information concerning scientific agriculture as the government and private experts may have gathered in their experiments and experience. The recent progress along agricultural lines has led to the recognition of the fact that the individual farmer may find large success and the aggregate of the farmer's business may reach undreamed of proportions by the adoption of intensive farming and the application of scientific principles and methods. It is with the view of arousing the farmer, improving his condition, and increasing the general prosperity that this bill is offered. Mr. Lever, believing that the sources of scientific agriculture should be accessible to every farmer, and that with the gradual introduction of scientific principles and modern methods will come a gradual improvement of the farmer's condition and a great increase in general prosperity, proposes that the nation and each state shall unite in carrying to every farmer the knowledge he needs. We most cordially commend this proposition, holding that the government can do nothing better to insure general prosperity than to encourage and promote the intelligent and successful cultivation of the soil and the large production of the necessities of life. The Richmond Virginian. Coffee to Relieve Fatigue. The question is sometimes asked: What will relieve fatigue more quickly than anything else? Clerks in stores and men generally as well as women shopper become at times very tired. Fortunately the British army has thrashed the question out, and tried every kind of decoction that could be thought of, and we may profit by their experience. They award the palm to coffee, and declare it has neither superior nor equal for this purpose.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1911 A report comes from Maine that that State remains dry, another that it has gone wet, and still another that it remains in the dry column. President Tatt is just now beginning to realize that it takes two to make a bargain, and that it will take a majority of the American people to elect the next president. When the Wild West Show comes here take our advice and stay away from it, and save your money for the nearby coming wild west winds. Needn't look for it, for it will find you, and the more 50 cent pieces you have in your pocket, the bolder you can look him(?) in the face. The whole of it is a mammoth fake. When a man sits in Court and looks at Judge Dayton, then goes back to his obscurity as a country lawyer, my! my!! the possibilities of an American citizen. Think of it! From that obscurity to Congress, then the boss of fleets of the seas; a great statesman, and now occupying a great place of a great Judge. Let it encourage every boy living and girl too, to look up. Why summon jurors from all over this county at 10 cents per mile, empanel and swear them to hear evidence and decide upon it, and then allow a judge to take it from them on what is called law, and set their verdict aside?, Recent and wise conclusions relative to this mode is against it, and call it "a dangerous and obsolete practice," and we concur. Our neighbor, of the Charleston, West Virginia Advocate used a line of black face type to impress his impression as he saw it, that we had made "some speech." "Yes, sir, so it is, and its length and breadth covers all of your constitutional rights, providing you have the proper independent political manhood to fall in line, and contend for them. Will you? or will you saw wood for deceptive thanks? Peter Stolypin, Premier of Russia, who was shot by an assassin named Bogroff, at the Municipal Theater in Kief, Russia, on last Thursday evening, died on Monday, following a period of the most intense pain from the time he was shot until death ensued. Premier Stolypin was a man of determined men, and it is possible that the repressive measures which he used against the Czar's subjects was an indirect cause of his death. Reciprocity gone and its big Presidential advocate goes with it, including his democratic allies. He is the only one since the election of General George Washington that has ever been without a party. Mr. Taft is a shrewd politician, but as regarded reciprocity with Canada he was over sanguine. The experience of our astute President is in line with happenings of the kind from time immemorial, and what is true of him, will likewise be true of others, unless they ponder well and long before voting. Wanted-An Elevator. It's in doubt if there's another place in the United States as large as Martinsburg, and as progressive, with a government building as fine, minus an elevator. It was a foolish oversight in the construction and building that it was not made a part of the structure, and that foolishness has changed to a shame that a rousing demand is not on tiptoe for an elevator. It must be done, and if the people of Martinsburg, and Judge Dayton are too timid or economical to have it done, then a few who throw both to the winds will have a brief chat with the man who gave it birth—Ex-Senator Charles J. Fanlkner, and have it done. If Judge Dayton thinks it will "cost too much" we want to make a suggestion how to do it. Has there been or will be a United States Court held but what more than two thousand dollars have been spent carrying white and black pimps over the state for hundreds of miles at 10 cents a mile, and many witnesses at the expense of the government, with the Marshal going to and fro from place to place with his prisoner, who know—and don't care if he does—that he will get "thirty days and a hundred dollars fine." The Marshal takes charge of the poor alleged "boot-legger," too often lied on by pimps and sots, takes him back to his home jail, getting paid for all the trips he makes at the rate of ten cents per mile. What use holding U. S. Court here, and taking persons from here who have given bond, or who are in jail to Clarksburg, Parkersburg, Wheeling or Philippi or vice versa? Put a stop to so flairant a graft, and the work of one court, held where and as it ought to be, and the elevator can be put in this fine building and several thousand dollars be saved. We simply want to say for the gratification of our astute friend, whose eagle eye assumes to even see a differentialism in the innocent substitution of Mr. for Rev., that no fuss is on hand in the League, and also that Dr. Booker T. Washington had no finger in the pie of our election as President of the National Independent Political League. And for the satisfaction of this Richmond, Virginia, blind(?) man, who seen and wants to know so much we will give the names of our friends who urged us to stand for reelection. They were Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, Rev. Dr. Churchman, Rev. Dr., Waldron; Rev. Dr. Wiley and Rev. Dr. Smith, of Providence, Rhode Island, and that extra fine citizen, soldier and emrade, Mr. I. D. Barnett, of Boston. If any one of them are Bookerites, and had hisism up their sleeves, and this newspaper seer can prove it, we shall resign at once; otherwise we shall stay at the holm, and begin to prune the tree of the grafters who would, like Judas, sell the whole race for 30 pieces of silver. Who is who and which is which? Put your think tanks to work, and see if you can see things as,or different from our vision. After minutely looking over and into matters, we have reached the conclusion, that after all, there is not much in the intrinsic worth of an American citizen under our republican form of government. Sifted down, it thickens into this, a few people—say less than a hundred, rule and run this country in everything—and more especially in politics. Of course the common voter will not see it as we do, but in truth he is nothing more than a tool. These few—less than a hundred cause laws to be made, make high prices; select and settle on who is to be nominated for President of the United States, and often for congress, so when we fools go to the big conventions and make our speeches, crying ourselves hoarse screaming for our choice, we have only been made happy by Barnum's correct version of the American people—hence the war on socialism. There is no question of doubt but what Judge Dayton never would have been on the bench but for colored voters. You grin at the above, but grin at what follows. We know as well as you do that Negro voters did not put him on the bench direct, but they did put him in Congress and make it possible for him to lift himself up and out of the mist that would forever have kept him out of prominence. Hence it is plainly seen that they caused him to get where he is. Judge Jackson—a democrat at that, seldom held a court without having some colored jurors. Has any one ever seen one on a jury since Mr. Dayton has been Judge? Nay, nay Pauline. Messera, N. G. Robinson, and James A. Savoy, two well known and popular attaches in the United States Capitol, at Washington, have been spending the past two weeks in Martinburg and Berkeley Springs, and unless signs are misleading, theirs has been a most pleasant vacation. They are such companionable and well informed gentleman, and so polished in their manners, that once met, you hanker to be with them again. WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY NEWS Dr. Charles Edward Bishop, professor of the Greek Language and Literature of William and Mary College, has just been elected to the same position in West Virginia M. H. DR. CHARLES ESWARD BISHOP Elected Professor of Greek at West Virginia University. University. Prof. Bishop brings to the university a splendid equipment for the work that will be required of him. He is a a graduate of the University of Virginia and of the University of Leipsic, Germany, and has the degree of Ph. D. He is one of the foremost Greek scholars of the country and the university considers itself fortunate in securing his services. The vacancy in the College of Engineering caused by the recent resignation of Prof. Boughton has been filled by the election of Prof. Roland P. Davis of Cornell University. Prof. Davis took his first degree, that of S.B., in Civil Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He later received the degree of Master of Civil Engineering from Cornell University, at which institution he has been teaching subjects in the Department of Structural Engineering for several years. He comes to the university very highly recommended and will prove a valuable addition to the faculty. The regents of the university have taken an advanced step in the complete organization of the College of Engineering. Heretofore the several departments, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mining Engineering have been independent of each other. They are now all co-ordinated into departments of the college under a single head—the Dean of the College of Engineering. Prof. Clement Ross Jones, B. S. C. E., M. E. E., who has served so efficiently for the past ten years as head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been elected dean of the college. He is thoroughly equipped for this added responsibility, and his appointment will be a matter of gratification to hundreds of students, alumni and friends of the College of Engineering.
