There ia a boy, eight years old,
whose parents live in White county,
Ark. They are highly esteemed citi-
zens and people of decided culture
and refinement. The boy has never
been heard, nor can he be induced
by any means, to utter his fathers
name, or address him even indirectly.
His strategy is more than equal to
both his parents and the other mem
bers of the family, who have laid all
manner of plans to force him into a
single utterance Of his fathers name.
Upon one occasion they planned net
to get him any boots until he asked
for them like the others, but this was
a failure also, for he went on through
the snow with his bare feet just as
though he were in calfskins to his
knees. lie has profound respect
for his father, and will follow him
about the farm for whole day at a
time.

The Virginia % bt.

The following interview by a repor-
ter Of the Wheeling Iatsiligeneer with
with Hon. J. NJ. Mason of Jefferson
county, will throw some light upon a
subject of deep interest to West Vir-
ginians;
Il hear that q movement Is on 1901
to collect from this State portion Of
the debt which was contracted before
the war by old Virginia. VIII you
give the LlteHigencer the facts?"
.'The press is welcome to all the
facts, said Mr.. Mason. "Many OF
the public improvements we are now
using we're constructed with the
bonds issued by Virginia. We have
the roads, bridges, etc, while the
creditors have the bonds. For ex-
ample, the turnpike running through
Charlestown is more travelled taan
any road in Jefferson county, and l
am well acquainted with the man
who lent to Virginia the money
which built it.
oIn 1871 the Virginia Legislature
declared that West Virginia ought to
shoulder one-third Of the entire debt
Of the old State, because she contain
ed one third Of the territory and the
bulk If the anti-wag bogds were
funded on the Assumption that cur
share was sb,ut SIS, O0O,OOO But
the report Of Gea. jackson, Mr.
Campbell and Mr.. Bennett demon
strated that our proportion ought not
to be determined by the size Of our
territory. EVERYBODY admits that we
owe something, and every body de-
MES that we owe as much as fifteen
millions.
"Under her funding bill Virginia.
issued certificates for this one third,
whereby she promised to settle with
West Virginia aud to pay the pro-
ceeds over to the holders Of these
certificates. The creditors want Viz
ginia to carry out this contract"
odd Virginia promise to settle
with West Virginia."
Certainly. The certificates carry
the promise on their face, and be-
sides this the Legislature expressly
declared that the State Of Virginia
viii aid the holders Of such certif-
Gates in negotiating a settlement with
West Virginia.
"Why has not Virginia moved in
this matter"
because it is well known that our
share is very much less than,s15, OOO,-
600. and she is afraid of being called
on for the deficit. Hence, the cred
itors came together andauthOrhed an
agent to agree to accept in full salts
faction whatever is ascertained TO be
the fair and equitable share Of this
State. Virginia will not move IN
less released from It's deficit, whereas
West Virginia viii never admit that
these certificates are in any wise obi
gatory upon her. The extent ofour
liability can only be determined by
stating an account between the two
States and the circumstance that
Virgins has issued fifteen millions Of
securities cannot measure the size OF
cur debt. Our liability Is the same
whether she issued one million OF
twenty million of certificates.
'Who is to state this account"
'''The question is, what amount is
toe equitable share OfWest Virginia.
This being the controversy between
two States, the Federal Supreme
Court has exclusive jurisdiction and
