Virginia free press. (Charlestown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1832-1916, 1895-10-16

The year 1854 was the year OF the big
drought. instead of 1855. IL begins to look
as 1t we would have repetition OF 1t. We
are inclined 90 believe il is a special judg
ment sent ON us for sowing a crop of wheat.
-Evmers' 4dr0cate.
The brookle,s and the rivers are almost
dry and all men in this section are more or
less affected by the drought. Does the edi
tor of the Advocate really believe that these
things have come 20 pass because he did this
year what he should have done last Fail
When the rain does come it will fall on the
just and the unjust alike, and we hope our
friend Morrow will have presence Of mind
enough 70 get in out of the rain"

who Paid 1t Should Have it Back From
the State.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, W. Va, May 14.-D.
r. Neal, one Of the csdest and wealth.
lest residents OF this State, residing
! here. replies as follows to newspapers
and others on the Governor MacCor-
llle letter in regard to the refunded
tax:
During the late war Congress
passed an act requiring to be PAID an
internal tax. under which act officers
were appointed by the government to
ascertain the amount of gains in the
business OF individuals, upon which
tax Of 3 per cent. was required TO be
paid. This was done without the
agency Of the States. The otncers ap-
pointed, collected and paid the money
to the general government. TO show
how little the State of West Virginia
had to do in the matter-there was no
such State at the beginning OF such
levies or payments, nor until near the
close of the war did West Virginia be-
come a State, there being only about
$50 900 paid after her admission, When
The collection of the tax ceased, put
ting an end to the collections under
said act OF Congress. Therefore you
will see that this was Virginia, the
greater part Of the time 1t existed. 1t
is contended by some as an excuse Tor
the Withholding the money from the
contributors that the general govern
ment was indebted to the state or West
Virginia. that the money refunded by
act Of Congress to contributors, was
applied to the payment of that debt.
/ am unable to see by what mode Of
reasoning the officers Of the State OF
West Virginia can apply the money re-
funded 10 the payment OF a DEBT que
West Virginia by the general govern
ment. If the claim OF West Virginia
is due from the government, II should
be paid direct from the treasury-and
not paid by Withholding from contrib
utors under the Internal tax, who are
entitled to the money.
l desire to correct an error as to the
refundation Of the internal tax to the
counties OF Jefferson and Berkeley.
The payments made those counties
was for necessities and mon furnished
the government during the war and
nc, contributors under tte internal
tax act. The amount paid by inGiyid-
uals is still due from the money paid
by the government to the State Of West
Virginia. and if the contributors or
their heirs are as sharp rs llimagine
they are, they will insist on having
their proper share Of the money re
funded to the State Of West Virginia.
Did not the refundation to the con-
tributors admit the unconstitutional
ity of the act imposing the tax? and
therefore the interest not being in
cluded. it is not a full restitution but
governments have no conscience and
therefore it is not expected.

Excessive Originality.

SER him, Mr.. Gagslnith said the
wealthy manufacturer of Puckersham' 8
PelIucid Panacea For Peculiar People,
turning around in his revolving chair as
his testimonial writer entered the room,
81 have sent for you for the purpose of
calling your attention to the fact that the
bona fde testimonials which you have
been turning out Of late are not exactly
suited to our purpose"
''But, Mr.. Puckersham, - replied the
talented young man mildly, 81 have en-
deavored to carry out the instructions you
gave me a short time ago, to infuse origi-
nality, vim and sparkle into them, to
make them entertaining as well as instruct
i've, and''-
cit is true that so directed you, Mr..
Gagsnith, - interrupted his employer,
''but it seems to me that you have carried
out my instructions trife too literally.
There is such thing as being excessively
original. For instance
The manufacturer of Pellucid Panacea
picked up couple of specimens of the tai
ented young mans handiwork and read
aloud, as follows: 'Dear doctor, was a
constant sufferer from nervous exhaustion
for three years. After using a few bottles
of your valuable remedy my mother-in-law
died, and I am now entirely cured.
"Dear doctor, 1 was cursed with wart
on my neck, which I used for collar but
ton. After taking two bottles of your ex-
cellent remedy can now button my trou-
sers on it,
81 grant you that this style of literature
sparkles with originality, but it is a trifie
too fin de steele for our use. In future, Mr..
Gagsmith, you will please bear constantly
in mind that we are not publishing the
London Punch, but running manufac-
tory for the production of Puckersham' s
PelIucid Panacea For Peculiar People
That is all, Mr. Gagsmith. Good dayl''-

attractive natural features.
