ulation during Governor MacCorkle's
term is 1875 greater than during Gov
ernor Fleming's term. 239 greater than
during Governor Wilson's term, and
80 greater than during Governor Jack
sons term. Then in the face of this
most conservative showing, low can
the press make such statements as
above?
Il do not in anywise mean to crit
icise the action of Governor MacCor-
kle's predecessors in granting pardons,
because they were always considered
conservative and within the '<ual limit
allowed TO the Chief Executive, b'S
simply wish to call attention to the
cnormity of this statement concerning
Governor MacCOrkle's lavish exercise
of the pardoning power when these hg-
ures are shown, and when it is well
known by the criminal lawyers OF the
State that Governor MacCorkle is the
most careful and the hardest Chief En-
ecutive we have ever had from whom
to obtain a pardon

THE WHEELING GAS co.

The Wheeling Natural Gas Company,
the one that supplied this city while
it had gas, is in luck and will soon have
another supply of gas here. A pipe
line is being laid from the great Cam
eron we'll and will be connected with
their lines at Benwood. This will give
a greater supply to this city and on
Saturday representatives of that com
pany were in this city talking to man
ufacturers about resuming the use of
gas in their plants. They were encour-
aged this far: If gas can be supplied at
about the cost of coal, counting every
thing in connection with the handling
of it. they will resume its use. But
there will be increased use of the gas
in private houses as soon as the supply
is made more certain, and that pays
best.-Bellaire Independent
