Points for the Lawyers.

About three weeks ago three col
ored men were hanged on one
scaffold in Mississippi. They hang
ed until they were all pronounced
dead, and the sheriff certified to the
execution of the sentence. Now
one of the three is as much alive as
anybody. He regained conscious.
ness while he was being taken
home in his coffin, attracted the at
tention of the driver, and in a few
hours was himself again except that
he had lost the power of speech.
In law the man is as dead as a
door nail, and cannot be hanged any
more for the same offensc. Suppose,
however, that he were to commit
another murder, what then? Upon
being arraigned for trial he would
have no trouble to prove himself
that Grant Wilson convicted, SEN
fenced, hanged and duly certified,
dead. Would the law permit a
dead man to be tried for his life?
Can the law hang a dead man? On
the other hand, would the law per-
nit dead man to go about murder
ing and saving his neck by a fiction?
Wilson's case opens up fruitful
field of speculation which should be
very attractive to the lawyers.

fyou have made up your mind
to live in a town then stand up for
it, say all the good things you can
about it, aud if you know positively
no good, then silence in regard to
its merits is considered golden. Do
what you can to help along every
man who is engaged in legitimate
business Don't send away for
everything nice you want and then
expect the homo men to keep a
stock to suit the within of one or two
possible customers. The success of
your fellow townsmen will be your
success. No man liveth TO himself,
no man dieth to himsef, and no man
does business Independent of his
fellow business men. Take your
home paper. Don't imagine that
big dailies fill up all the space; there
are many little crevices of good
cheer, social sunshine, personal men
ton in home paper that the big
dailies do not care for and do not
print. Don't abuse your neighbor;
the main difference in the number
of his faults and your own is that
you see his through a magnifying
glass as criticism and yours in a
glass darkly. The ill-omened bird,
the crOaker, can do town more harm
in minute than two good citizens
can repair in month.

The vast labor organizations of
Ohio, the thousands of men in that
State who are interested in not being
controlled by monopolies and con-
solidated wealth, will certainly rally
to the support of Campbell. From
all the reports there is one thing
certain that the last Legislature
of Ohio, which was Republican in
majority, was disgrace to that
great State, just as the last Legis,
lature of West Virginia, which was
also Republican in majority, was a
reproach upon and laughing stock
for our people.

Victims Of n Rather.

William Morehead and Thomas
Broomfeld, farmers on Buffalo creek
Nicholas county, this State, were
working in an old brush grown
field recently when both were bit
ten by a tremendous rattlesnake.
Morehead was struck on the leg and
Broomfeld on one of his toes.
Morehead's leg swelled in a few
minutes to almost the size of his
body. He lived in fearful agony
several hours, dying from the effects
of the bite on Saturday morning.
Bloomfield, was a man of intelli-
gence and quick of action, as soon
as he was bitten took out his knife
and deliberately severed the injur-
ed toe. His action was SO quick
that the poison, rapidly as it infuses
itself into the blood, did not have
time to penetrate to any great
depth and he felt no ill effects
from its action. In the same
neighborhood only a few days be-
fore, two boys, about Is or 16 years
old, were passing through an old
field near Broomfeld's house when
one of the boys was struck in the
calf of the leg by a rattlesnake
They quickly killed the reptile and
then the boy who had escaped its
fangs scarifed his friends wound
with his knife and deliberately put
his lips to the wound and sucked
out the poison with the blood. The
injured boys leg panied him for
several hours, but the poison had
been entirely withdrawn and he is
now as sound as ever.-Shepherds-

Doctors and lawyers, as a rule,
live on the calamities of others;
many preachers get their pay only
in the next world; merchants must
depend on the honesty or dishon-
esty of their customers; day labor
is a hand-t to mouth living, of max
ing a dollar day when the
demands are a dollar and half.
Young man, old man, if you have a
farm to stay on you'd better stay
there. Every business has Its dark
side. You are not moving toward
heaven by moving into the average
city. If your neighborhood is dull
help to boom it.

The false and the low
prices and vague decept-
ions of merchants are the
chief characteristics of the
advertisements printed in
Point Pleasant newspapers
nowadays.
The honest merchant
who really has the except
ional low values to offer is
at a loss to know how to
advertise the facts, so that
the oft-bitten public will
believe him.
Remember we can and
do sell better goods at all
times for less money than
any store in town, but new
er have we sold goods so
cheaply as now.
Not only do we want to
sell what we've got, but
what you like and want
So that after you have
bought and paid for any
article you are under no
obligation to keep it, unless
it pleases you and meets
your requirements exactly;
otherwise bring it back
and get your money.

Earnings Of the SUGAR Trnst.

Boston Standard: The earnings
of the American Sugar Refinery
Company for the first six months
of this year shows that the output
was 100000 tons, with an average
margin between the centrifugals
and granulated at e8c. per 100
pounds. A careful estimate places
the cost of refining 100 pounds of
sugar at Soc, with the commission,
cooperage and salaries making
another Zoe. per 100 pounds. This
gives Coo. as the cost of pro
ducing 100 pounds of sugar, not
including the outly for repairs,
renewals, etc. This leaves net
profit of 25c. per 100 pounds, or So
a ton to the American Sugar Re-
finery Company on 62O,4lO tons
for the first six months of 1895.
This is equal in net profit of SO, 1922
$50; the dividend on the preferred
ard common stocks for the same
period called for s3,562, 500. This
is important, as it shows the result
of the operations of the company
for the first six months of the
year, under the new tariff, aud it
is asserted that for the same six
months it is the poorest showing
in the history of the company.
Furthermore, this is the period
when the greater part of the entire
dividends on the capital stock OF
the whole year are expected to be
made.

Cincinnati, Aug, 22.-At New
Richmond, O., % miles up the Ohio
river from Cincinnati, at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, mob took
Noah Anderson, colored from the
Jail, and hanged him for he murder
yesterday of Franklin Friedman,
nearly so, and president of the
First National Bank of that place.
If the negro that was lynched at
New Richmond, o had been lynch
ed anywhere in the South, the fact
would have been heralded all
through the North as a Southern
outrage. But occurring in the Re-
publican State of Ohio, where some
twenty five to one hundred thous-
and negro voters are called upon to
boost the Republican party in power,
very little, if anything, is said about
