AN INTERESTING DECISION

The Supreme Court of this State
has just handed down a decision in
regard to county seat removals that
is another black eye for the Repub-
lican Legislature of two years ago.
The now famous case is that of
Grover ct al. VS.. County Court of
Grant county, from Hampshire
county; opinion by Holt, judgment
Of Circuit Court affirmed. This
case grew out Of a contest for the
removal of the county seat of Grant
county from Petersburg to Mays
vile. the law requiring that at least
three fifths of the votes Of the citi-
zens Of the county should be OBJ
tanned before the county seat OF
any county should be removed. At
several elections in Grant county a
majority in favor of the removal
was obtained, but not three. fifths.
At the last session of the Legislature
a law was passed making it lawful
to remove the county seat of Grant
county on the assent of majority
Of the voters Of the county. The
matter being taken into Court, the
Circuit Court of Hampshire coun-
ty, in which the case was tried
held that the act passed at the last
session Of the Legislature in rela.
ton thereto was class legislation
and therefore unconstitutional
The Supreme Court sustains the
judgment of the lower Court, and
therefore leaves the county seat O.
Grant at Petersburg.

TO WHOM m MAY CONCERN.

Now that the County Court con-
venes next week to pass on the
bonds OF the newly elected county
and district officials. we desire to
call the spreinl attentlon Of the
Court to the necessity OF An inves.
tigation of the records of some of
the Justices of the Peace of the
county, in order to secure a settle
ment and require them to turn
over money in their hands belong
ing to the State and county and
individuals. We have heard lots
Of complaint by parties who pl ICED
accounts in their hands for collec-
ton and could never get any set
Element with the Justice, knowing
also that the said Justice had the
money in his hands. Then, again.
some OF them collect quite sum In
lines trying to maintain the peace
and dignity o: the State, and never
turn over or make any settlement
Of but u small part of the money
collected. ANYONE can see this by
examining the Financial Statement
as published every year in the
county pipers. These officials are
not only violating their oath, but
laying their bondsmen liable, and
it is the duty of the States Attor-
ney and the Court to look after
these things and require a settle
ment. The very officials we have
IN mind have been reelected for
another term and will be here neyt
week to give bond and swear in
again for four years more, and we
think it would be a good idea for
them to close up their old term and
make a settlement with the end of
the year. IL the Court or its At
torney wants to know who these
delinquent officers are and can't
find ont what everybody else knows
and talks about, we can give names,
and will do so if necessary.

CAMP FAIRFAX.
ION the Winding River Cheat.

Miss Sallie Fairfax returned last Sat.

mountain, where she went on a hunt.
ing expedition. she is the owner of
about four hundred acres OF bottom
aud timber land, running from Cheat
river up on the mountain side. and a
good many wild turkeys are found in
that section. This sum mer she mad a
good two-story camping house erected
on beautiful site along the river bank
and expects To spend some time there
every summer. with n party Of friends.
The river at that point Is 6ue for fish
ing. rowing and bathing. and the
hunting is good on the premises also
Her nephew, l. p. Martin. lives near
her property, and she was visiting him
this time
On Thanksgiving Dav. Miss Sallie
and Rupert ViclSery. of Kingwood. an
otner nephew, were out hunting and
the latter killed beautiful heron. a
very rare bird in this section. IL had
been about there all summer, and the
boys bad tried several times to catch
1t. This time they were looking for
wild turkeys, and when the heron few
up they thought it was a turkey. and
Vickery shot it. He sent IL to town To
Harry Potter. who is going to save it
oy mounting and stuffing it.. The bird
must have gotten lost from a flock
while passing through there. 1t has
very long legs and neck and bill. so as
To wade in the water and fish for n
living. It's body looks very much like
a pheasant. only larger.
Next day Rupert killed very fine
wild turkey and sent il up to his sister.
Mrs. Felix Elliott, Jr Miss Fairfax
and the boys started out before dav-
light OF a morning i'm order To find the
turkeys as they came off the roost
They had several adventures. There
is big wildcat holds forth over there.
and has been heard by several parties
of late. One night they heard It start
way up the mountain and come down
the river, uttering it's human-like cry
every little bit. The party was afraid
togo out after night after that One
morning they ran into den of pole
cats and had lively time for a little
while. The, boys banged away and
the skunks fought back. No record of
result.
Another time they were going past
an old deserted house that was said to
be haunted, and all at once they heard
terrible racket and hair-raisin0
screeches that scared them all nearlv
to death. till they found out that II
was two owls fighting.
Miss Sallie calls her place Camp
Fairfax" and it will likely be occupied
next summer during July and August.
III mas Tour rooms and large veranda
in front overlooking the winding
River Cheat" Several Kingwood peo-
people will go down and stay awhile
during the heated term.

had some experience in locomotive
riding, and he writes to General
Superintendent Fitzgerald that he
bad ridden on an English locomo-
tive GO miles in 60 minutes, but the
Royal Blue Flyer beat even that, as
he went one mile in 45 seconds and
several consecutive miles in so Sec
onds each. lie was astonished TO
see with what little steam the great
speed was made and the heavy train
drawn. In running, the engineer
bad his throttle scarcely one-third
