JUDGE GoFF has pronounced the
West Virginia cigarette law unconsti-
tutional. We DO not know anything
Of the merits Of the case from legal
standpoint, but it does seem to us that
most of these decisions where "uncon-
stutionahty" is the plea are against
the best interests of the people. The
Legislature of West Virginia, presume
bly, made up Of representative citizens,
passes a law directly in the interest of
good morals. a federal Judge with
stroke of his pen nullifes the law and
thwarts the will Of the people on tech
nicahties that have comparatively
little to do with the case. 1t appears
to US that if Judge Colts decision
holds good in this case a great many
more of our State laws may be over
turned.

LIFE,s JOURNEY ENDED.
Death of Rev. DR.. Jacob Hawkins-Walter r..
Staley Suddenly Expres-Other Deaths.

| Death of Rev. DR.. Jacob Hawkins-Walter r..
Staley Suddenly Expires-Other Deaths.
The announcement from the pulpit
of the Lutheran Church by Rev. c. H.
Rocky last Sunday of the death of
Rev. Jacob Hawkins, D. D., brought
sorrow to many in that large congre-
CATION. DR.. Hawkins was pastor of
the Lutheran Church of Shepherds
town from 1869 to 1874, and was re-
garded as an able minister and an
earnest Christian pastor. The death
of DR.. Hawkins occurred at the par
sonage of St. Luke's Church, Newber-
ry county, S. c., on July 10th, within
one mile from the place of his birth,
September 4, 1923. thus making his
age &c years, 10 months and y days.
His health had been failing for more
than two years, but the critical period
came on during the past few months.
His disease was organic heart
trouble, with other complications of
the nervous system, which caused in
tense and excruciating suffering to-
ward the end; but his last hours were
calm and peaceful. 1t was his desire,
as expressed to one of his elders, that
it should be known that he died in
the faith Of that Saviour whom he had
preached. Said he: "If do not live
to preach again, l want it told as
my dying testimony that the Gospel
of Jesus Christ is the hope and refuge
for sinful men. He was buried at
Prosperity July 18th. His wife and
several sons and daughters survive
him.
While DR.. Hawkins was pastor here
he endeared himself to the hearts Of
many of our people, and his twenty
years service as editor Of the Lmher-
an Visitor has kept our people in
touch with him. A memorial service
will be held in the Lutheran Church
here Sunday night at s o'clock, to
which all the friends of the deceased
are invited.
Mr.. Walter II. Staley, eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. R. Staley, died sud
denly at the home Of his father 1917
Guilford Avenue, Baltimore, last Sun
day. Mr. StaIey, who was SO years of
age, was born in Shepherdstown, the
old home Of his parents, but has lived
in Baltimore nearly all his life. He
had been feeling badly for a couple Of
weeks prior to his death, but not so
much so as to cause fear of a serious
result. Sunday morning he suddenly
expired, his death being attributed to
apoplexy. Mr.. Staley was twice mar
ried. His first wife was Miss Denni-
son. of Salem, Va, by whom he had
two children, who survive him. His
second wife was Miss Parker, of Bal
timore.
The remains were brought to Shep-
herdstown Tuesday morning on the
eight o'clock train, accompanied by
his parents, his widow and his two
children and his brother Clifton. The
remains were Inferred in Elmwood
Cemetery, the service being conducted
by Rev. C. II. Rockey and Rev. Chas
GhiseIin.

that independence for which they are
so heroically fighting.

COTTON SEED.
Should the Farmer Dispose Of the
Seed Mt Ten Cents?

Seed at Ten Cents?
This newspaper would not pretend to advise
anybody, but we fear that the holding Of the
seed for better prices Is mistake.
If the ginning Is done at any gin where the
seed can be left without hauling itseems bet
ter TO dispose of them. II the seed can be ex-
changed for fertilizer on the same terms as
the exchange was madc last year, we fail to
see wherein the money value should affect
the trade at all.
If seed are taken home the probability Is,
that large per cent. OF them Will be wasted.
Even If better price should prevail after
awhile the loss in waste or weight. and the
cost OF hauling second time will more than
counterbalance the increase of price.
Just now the outlook is not favorable for an
increase In the price OF oil, and the lack OF
experience in grinding dry seed curtails the
profits from three TO six gallons ton. Or
course everybody knows that the seed were
never finer than they are this year, and the
amount of oil in the seed is presumed 10 be
greater than in an ordinary year, but the mill
men have not been accustomed TO seed as we
have them this year. Being dry, or almost
without water in them, the process OF cook
ing the meal In an ordinary year does not an
swer for this year. Failing then to adapt the
machinery to the extraction OF all the oil, II
Is impossible for the mill to pay as much as
they otherwise could.
There being little or no profit TO the mill
men In the seed at the present price IL is not
likely that they will be enabled 10 give more,
though of this each man Is better able to
Judge for himself than we are to say what Ia
best. If we had seed we would sell them. II
Is unfortunate the price is so low, but the pro-
ducer will generally find II better TO sell In
season.

HE PROTECTED HIS FOSTER MOTHER.
That Was How Joel Freeman Got
Cut Last Night.
William Axtell Abused His Wife, Sc
Freeman Says, and He
Iuterfered.

What came near being fatal cutting
affair took place on Whitney avenue, be-
tween @ and r, Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, shortly before IL O'Clock last
night.
a young man named Joel Freeman
and William Axtell, also known as Bill
Neal, who is the husband of Freeman s
foster-mother, got into an alteration and
Axtell slashed Freeman back of the left
ear and across the back of the neck with
a large pocket-knife. Freeman was
taken to the Receiving Hospital, where
his wounds were dressed by Assistant
City Physician Ogden.
He said that Axtell had on numb er of
occasions abused Mrs. AXtell. He was
carrying on in similar manner last
night. when the latter interfered. Axtell
struck him in the eye, but before he could
strike again Freeman threw him down
and gave him severe beating.
Axtell left the premises. but returned
shortly afterward. having apparently
cooled down. But this was not the case
for. according to Freeman's story, Axtell
suddenly whipped out his knife and cut
the latter as stated.
After his wounds were dressed Free
man left the Receiving Hospital. He
said he would not prosecute Axsell.
