The prosecution of the wife of
Gov. Atkinson in the Gilmer coun
ty Court is not by any means q
political affair, as the case is before
Judge Reese Blizzard. u stauncE
Republican, and some of the Re-
publican papers have said more
about it than the Democratic pa
pers. For instance, the Journal,
OF this place, Published the fol
lowing:
What is the matter with letting
the Mrs. Atkinson forgery trial
drop? There can nothing come of
the effort to convict her, and the
public is tired of hearing of her
being dragged into such unenviable
prominence.
Then the Morgantown Post took
it up and reads the riot act to the
Journal in the following terms,
and the Herald, of MoundsvllIe,
publishes it and endorses what the
Post says. This looks like they
thought Mrs. Atkinson was guilty:
Oh yes, keep it up. You fellows
must be afraid West Virginia will
get too good name abroad. She
already has a bad reput ation for
lawlessness and lax enforcement OF
laws. OF course if we drop prose
cution because the public "is tired"
it will be big send off. Keep IT
up. Turn the murderers and other
criminals loose. Don't worry the
public with trials and court pro.
cecding. Cut loose and wboop 'cr
up. Sake old West Virginia Wild

throw open the penltentiary gates.

places. Send ont invitations 10 all
countries Of he world to send their
criminals to West Virginia. Burn
the court bOuses, send the Judges
into exile. Boom the old State.

emigrate In the journal bewails

RowLEsBuRG's OPPORTUNITY.
The big Pulp Mills at Duke. Nd

The big Pulp Mills at buke, Md,
inst across the river near Pied mont,
are locking for new location for
their plant, and several places are
bidding for II. The Cum berland
people "re fighting the plnnt and
succeeded in getting the managers
indicted and Iied aud fouud guilty
IF polluting the river IN which The
mill 10 located sud which runs by
Cum bertrand and have been prose
cutting the company so that they
are compelled 10 move their works.
What's the matter with locating the
plant at Row;esburg in this county.
Right on the "Winding River
Cheat" and tho b. & o. railroad F?
1t is lots better place than where
the mill now is at Luke and we will
guarantee that the enterprising
business men OF Rowlesburg will
offer every encouragement to such
magnificent industry. Besides this
we will guarantee that they will
never be prosecuted in this county.
In the first place no town or city
gets it's water supply from Cheat
River and In the second place, it's
waters are so swift that all refuse
and rubbish would he washed away
so rapidly that no accumulation of
filth could ensue from the plant or
anything else Of the kind. We
would like to invite the Plant to
hingwood, but our understa nding
is that it has to be located on some
stream or wafer course and besides
they would want to be on the main
line OF the railroad. Rowlcsburg
cont ines both these essential DUAL
Ifications for the position and we
have no doubt will offer other IN
ducements. We arc informed that
the plant employs 400 or 500 men
and would be big thing for any
town to secure. We understand
that Parsons is frying hard to get
1t located there and Rowles burg is
much better place, being nearly
thirty miles down. the same river
and on the main line of the great
Baltimore and OHIO road. We
hope the officials an6 business men
OF the River City will get together
and make an effort to secure this
big enterprise for their town and
Preston county in general. A pub
lie meeting should be held and the
matter discussed and resolutions
adopted in regard to it and invita-
tons issued to the Plant and
Ways and Means Committee APP
pointed to look after the matter
and see what inducements can be
offered and negotiate with the
Pulp Company.

WHAT 1T COSTS.
The Expense OF the state In the
Eastman Case.


Eastman Case.
The State Auditor has paid tho
costs IN tho celebrated case of tha
State against II. w. Eastman,
which was recently tried in Tucker
county. Eastman was indicted for
murder. His trial attracted wide
attention because Of the nuu Der
and the prominence of the attor.
neys on both sides, and the hard
fight they all made. Eastman was
convicted of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to two years in Jail. The
costs in the case will be revelation
to many persons who have no idea
OF the vast amount the State is
compelled to pay rs costs in GRIM
inal cases. The stenographer was
allowed 1926, the sheriff $l0S. 20,
the jury cost 1888, witness fees
were 1914. 80, a constable got $40.
and the cost of evidence before
justice was %. One witness, not
included in the amount given
above, travelled 100 miles in 90
ing to and returning from Court
and was paid s11. The total costs
foot up s2,796.55.
