Hon. w. L. MANSFIELD, of Wayne
county, this State, was an efficient
member of the last West Virginia
Legislature. Here is what he says in
the Wayne Neecs concerning a certain
candidate who has been put up In this
district:
In the thirteenth senatorial district,
and the seventh delegate district, each
composed of the counties of Berkeley,
jefferson and Morgan, the Republicans
have nominated gold Democrats. The
candidate for Senator is r. Hunter, who
as a gold Democrat represented the
seventh delegate district in the last Leg
islature and voted with the Republicans
on all questions. He paid but little at
ton to legislative duties, and though a
member of the committee on taxation
and finance, the most important COM
mittee in the House, never met the com
mittee during the session.
This ought to have some effect upon
the sensible voters Of this district. Mr..
Mansfield is man who is not likely
to make a false assertion.

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From Benjamin Fanklin.

when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason ii. e., Theory says
is best is to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get DR.. inclination, DR..
Experience and DR.. Reason to hold a
consultation together, they will give
you the best advice that can be taken. "
When you have bad cold DR.. In
clination would recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant and safe to take. DR.. Ex-
perience would recommend it because
it never fails to effect a speedy and
permanent cure. DR.. Reason would
recommend it because it is prepared
on scientific principles, and acts on
natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions, restoring the
system to natural and healthy con-
dition. For sale at Remnants Phar-

The transport OLDHAM arrived in
New York Tuesday from Porto Rico
and Santiago with $50 sick and con-
valescent soldiers aboard. Colonel
Gibson, who had the men in charge,
said he had been the means Of saving
many of the men from starvation, and
he told the Governor Of Pennsylvania
that he had story to tell that would
startle the country. Many Of the SOL
diers told narrowing stories Of the
treatment they received in Porto Rico.
Randolph Harwick, Of the Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, related some pain
full episodes. He said that the regu
lars were well looked for, but the vol
unteers were starved. When finally
the men were forced to .succumb to
the fever and were sent to the hospi-
tails they were treated shamefully,
Although delirious, we were forced to
get out of our cots to watch some
poor brave fellow dying. Some Of the
men went mad under this strain. On
ly think of it-delirious men nursing
the dying. Harwick's story was but
a sample Of the complaints which
were recited by the men to Governor
Hastings, who was so moved with pity
that he had the Pennsylvania soldiers
all sent to a good hotel instead of to
camD.

THE Board of Public Works of West
Virginia has made reduction Of over
a million dollars in the assessed val
uation of the railroads in the State, re-
ducing them from $22,7O9,573 last
year to 81, 625, 1924 this year, And
this reduction is made in the face of
the well-known fact that at least
couple of the roads have really in
creased the value of their property by
the expenditure of enormous sums in
improvements and increase in rolling
stock. What an injustice it is that the
railroads are so favored while not
farmer in the State can have one cent
taken off the valuation of his land, no
matter how great the depreciation.
And we want further to point out the
fact that what has been taken from the
railroads by this Republican board
will be transferred to the individual
taxpayers of the State.

in forcing the Pullman Palace Car
Company to pay taxes in West Vir-

shows that there is not so much to
brag over, after all. The company has
been assessed on fourteen cars at
$4,000 each, when they run forty or
fifty through the State, the value of
which is from $l2, 900 to $4,000 each.
1t is stated, likewise, that an agent Of
the Pullman Company fixed the assess
ment to suit himself, the object in
agreeing to pay even this small tax
being to prevent the Legislature from
passing law requiring them to pay
what they ought.

Best Part of n Cemetery,

Probably few people know that there
is a choice side to every cemetery.
Thus, in some parts of the world, the
eastern portion, without regard to its
situation, is always deemed the most
desirable. This preference arises from
the old tradition that our Lord will APP
pear from the east. It is also believed
that the desd in the eastern portion
will be the first to rise; then those in
the southern, western and northern, in
order. In England it was once the Gus
tom TO bury felons and other bad char
acters on the north side of the church.

certain direction is responsible for the

of the land. Eisenlohr finds not only
