If, WI making paste or glue, q

it will keep sweet and free from often

of carbolic acid is added to each ounce
of wash, it will also prevent mold and
the disagreeable taints often perceived

the use of carbolic acid in paste for wall

He offered, also, House Bill lS7, entitled;
ga bill providing for the ventilation OF coas
mines, and for the protection and safety OF
those therein"
This was the beginning Of legislation
UPON this subject, since which time mncn
has been done by the passage OF laws oy
Democratic Legislatures.
During the session OF the Legislature
of Iss3,ofwhirh he was a member, and while
Sneaker of the House, Mr.. Wilson exhibited
u~ndisguised pa TALLY for the measures In
troduced looking to better protection OF the
lives and health Of miners, for the abolition
of competitive prison labor, and in tact all
questions which ~pertained to the advance
ment of the working people. On the resolu-
ton to employ ~convicts upon such industries
as would least conflict with the free labor OF
the State, Mr.. Wilson made a forcible argu-
ment favoring its adoption. =.
He introduced a bill to prohibit discrimi-
nation in railroad freight charges. Also a
bill to prohibit the issuing ofrailroad Pesses,
&C., to public officers, and is the author OF
sections I and s OF chapter l39 of the Acts
OF 1882, pages 1918.
After the expiration of the legislative
term, Mr.. Wilson resumed the practice OF
his profession in Kanawhs and neighboring
counties, being engaged on very important
cases coming before the courts.
On July 24th last he was put in nomina-
ton before the Democratic State convention
which assembled i this city as a candidate
for Governor, and after a contest unparal.
leled in the history Of the State, carried Oft
the prize, his competitors being Hon; (.
Boyd Faulkner, of Berkeley, Joseph Van
Meter, of Hardy and Judge A. I. Hay
mond, of Marion. Immediately after the
adjournment of that convention, Mr.. Wilson
entered upon his campaign, the details OF
which are too fresh in the minds OF our
readers to need rehearsal, and in October
he was elected by the handsome majority
of 1889.
