BEVERLY, w. VA. November 10
There was universal rejoicing at Bever-
ly. Randolph county, on, Saturday over
the acouittal Of six of the most promi-
nent cil.ssn OF that section on charge

ardy were J. L. Wamsley, the prosecut-
ing ATTORNEY of Randolph County; Nell

Court; S. A. Brown, eX-deputy clerk
and the editor Of the Randolph Enter
Prise; Leslie Harding, acting deputy
clerk OF the County Court, and r. B.
Coolinger and E. d. Wamsley, two

The men were specifically charged with
having murdered an old man named
PAM RainShild. He was hurt on the
night of March last, and died on
March % at the home of his son, Louis
Rainshild. The counsel for the
prisoners decided not to offer any testi-

been made against their clients. The
case was submitted to the jury without
argument. They were out but short
while. wien they returned verdict Of
scouittal, and the West Virgians were
discharged from custody. They reach
ed their homes on Saturday when they

tions and rejoicing in the community.

There's a pile in the yard now waiting for the ash man to carry off If while it is there any old bum wants to be shod. we send him out and let him take his pick. But l know one shoe store that keeps all its castoffs for collector. In fact. I'm not sure that he doesn't pay little some thing for them.

Cold Poultry.

There is no difficulty in making very nice friCIsSee of the remains of q cold roast fowl. Cut the fowl into joints. re- moving all skin and sinew. melt together with n teaspoonful of flour and a bare half ounce of butter. stirring it well till thoroughly amalgamated; then add to it about three-quarters of a pint of white stock (made from the trimmings of the fowl if none other is handy) and let it boil for few minutes with a strip or two of lemon peel and morsel of mace; then strain it, pour it to the fowl and let it all heat gently together. When hot, arrange the fowl neatly on a dish. thick en the gravy with the yolk of an egg beaten in wineglassful of cream, but do not let the sauce boil after this is add ed, and pour it over the fowl. garnishing the latter with tiny rolls of fried bacon and sliced lemon. This of course makes a fricassee, but by usiLg any stock and letting the flour and butter brown you can have the sauce brown, but then il should be favored with little lemon juice and mushroom Catchup.

l have often seen illustrations of such conservatism in a spot where an engi- neer carried a wagon road half mile or more along one side of a high spur of mountain and farther back along the other side. An easy and even grade was thus secured. but the distance around the point is twice as great as that from the place where the old trail leaves the road to go zigzagging up over that rough and rocky spur and down again to the spot where that ancient trail joins again the modern way. Sometimes an arriero so far forgets to protest against this violation of the traditions of his fa- thers as to permit his mules to go around by the road. but a caballero in the sad dle never!
 Not that any time can be saved by clambering up 400 feet to scramble 460 feet down again. One could go around the bend in less time and with less e1- penditure of energy than is used in toil- ing over the ridge, but why should one save time and the strength of his mule in that land of manana, that happy flu | ture 10 which are relegated all duties we can shirk today.
 One whose brain is moved by slow | northern blood can conceive of only one cause for so following a tedious, difficult and costly way when an easy and less expensive one offers, and that cause is | identical with that which leads millions | of people in the United States to continue year after year, generation after genera B ton. to use as roads the rough, dusty and muddy lanes that are in place of the highways they can easily have-and that cause Is conservatism.
 Once in their chosen field, the advance guards of our nation were busy in mak. ing secure their holdings. Years passed
 before the pioneers had much to haul tc \ or from their homes; therefore they
 need care httle for roads. Time enough
 for making good roads when they would
 be needed. They had got along witt
 the roads they had or with none. | others wanted better, let others make
 them. If their children could not bt
 content with the ways and means ths
 had answered all purposes of the fs
 thers, the children would be able to pay
 for better. The labors the fathers haC done would help the young generation
 to do that
 The makeshift ways of those days be
 came the habits of the new generations
 What was good enough yesterday vii
 do well enough until tomorrow. w
 laugh at the manana of the children O
 tropical America and put of to our owI
 tomorrow our own greater need anC

HISTORIC FORT HILL.
Calhoun's Old Homo Now the Site of an
 Agricultural College.

Calhoun's Old Homo Now the Site of an
 Agricultural College.
 John Caldwell Calhoun is still a DOW CT in South Carolina, though 43 years have passed since his death. and the proposition to utilize his old home for educational purposes excited all the poli- ticians in the state. Fort Hill. as the highland estate was named. is in the loveliest foothill region of South Caro- lina-that is. on a terrace of the Blue Ridge and on the northwestern border of the state. It is about two miles from the Richmond and Danville railroad. The summer climate is remarkably cool for that latitude. and the district is among the most healthful in the world.
 Calhoun was born in Abbeville dis trict March IS. l7S2. and died in Wash ington city March S1. 1850, but his home during his working life was at Fort Hill and there were written nearly all- his philosophical and well considered works. Thomas G. Clemson became owner oi the place by marriage with Calhoun's daughter. He was at one time charge d'affaires at Brussels and a man of DO
