The following from the Fairnont
Sentinel shows that other papers take
the same view as the ADVANCE about
the recent effort Of Attorney General
Hahn TO vacate the charters of several
(so. called) railroad companies:
We have but little faith in Attorney
General Hahn, and fear he has brought
the suits chiefly for buncombe, but
there is no doubt that there is merit in
them, and if properly conducted will
he won. The lauds in question have
gone untaxed for years and their title
hid behind an organization that has had
no existence in fact. We hope that the
supreme court will come to the rescue
Of the people aud decree that these
lands shall I've placed upon the tax rolls.
In the meantime if the attorney general
resists the influences of the willy Drake
and other interested parties and makes
strong honest fight to win these cases
we shall only be too happy to take back
what We have said about him. Let us
wait and watch.
