JAMES II. MILLER.
Sketch OF the Democratic Nominee for
Auditor.

The Hon. James IL. Miller, who
was nominated by the Democratic
Convention for State Auditor, was
born December 20, 1886, in that
portion of Greenbrier county, Vir-
ginia, which is now Summers county,
West Virginia. He is a son of the
late William Erkskine Miller, who
had been resident of this section
of the State throughout his long and
useful career, and who died in
February, 1900.
In his early youth Mr.. Miller,
was given the advantages of the
public schools OF his county and in
1877 entered the Concord Normal
School, from which he graduated
with honors in July, 1870, receiving,
in addition to other college honors,
the medal given in the oratorical
contest and for the best essayist in
the senior class.
After leaving school Mr.. Miller
devoted his attention for the two
ensuing years to teaching, during
which he was made a member of the
Board of Examiners of Summers
county, and was also elected county
superintendent of public schools, in
which position he acquitted himself
with great credit and honor, and
laid the foundation for the begin
ming of his political career in the
county, which has never met a
reverse, the county always having
given him what he desired
In making final choice for his
life work Mr.. Miller chose the law,
and entered upon the study of the
profession under the tutelage of the
Hon. w. w. Admas, with whom he
formed partnership after he had
completed tine law course at the
University of Virginia
About one year after Mr.. Miller
had entered the active practice of
law, the confidence of his country
men in his ability and integrity as a
public servant was again shown by
their electing him prosecuting
attorney of Summers county, which
office he has continuously held until
the'present. He was also a member
of the Board of Regents of the State
Normal Schools for six years, and
was captain of the Hinton Light
Infantry Guards, which was after
wards formed into Company d,
Second West Virginia Regiment, in
which he held the position Of
Lieutenant Colonel, but owing to
the pressure of business and other
duties he resigned.
In 1888 he was chosen chairman
of the Democratic Congressional
Executive Committee for the Third
West Virginia District, in which
position he developed such marked
ability as an organizer that he has
been unanimously chosen to the
position until the present time.
1t is but due to Mr.. Miller to say
that in his long service as a public
servant Of his county, in the
capacity of prosecuting attorney,
both friend and foe are united in
saying that he has served them faith
fully, diligently and impartially,
fearlessly obeying the behests Of
duty, hewing to the line, no matter
where the chips might fall
The highest esteem in which Mr.
Miller is held by the people of his
section Of the State, regardless Of
political affiliations. as a lawyer
Of ability, a scholar of rare attain
ments and a gentleman Of sterling
worth and stainless character. Is
enjoyed by him throughout the
State, and the placing of bis name
on the State ticket adds materially
to the strength Of his party. and in

The Justice Court.

Justice of the Peace Milligan had couple of busy days this week. NJ. T. Piper, u saloonist, had warrant issu- ed for the arrest of "Curley" Wallace, d retired cowboy who has bank roll. Piper charged Wallace with obtaining checks in poker game and refusing to pay for them after he lost, or in par lance of sport, ''welching." Wallace denied the charge and every part thereof. F. s. Clark appeared for plaintiff and J. F.. Jones for defendant. and the case was heard before a jury of six peers. Hearing the evidence and listening to the heated arguments of the attorneys occupied the best part o! two days, and the sporting fraternity evinced more than usual interest in the trial. as the result of the trial would establish precedent which
 might work for or against them in the future. Should the plaintiff win, checks given in payment of losses at the gaming table would have to be

paid: on the other hand. if check could be dishonOred the person who run the game would have to stand the loss. It took the jury several hours to decided the momentous question, and they finally found that a gambling debt could not be collected under civil process in this community. The de- cisiOn in this case will result in the indulger in the seductive game of poker being compelled to put up hard cash or pass out of the game.
 George Lovejoy, who while in tenn porary charge of the Temple Bar re- moved $SO in coin from the cash regis ter. 90 that he might jingle it until the next morning and then return it to the place whence he took it, was be- fore Justice of the Peace Milligan Wednesday. LovejOy might have made his intentions good but he fell among Philistines who had no regard for his feelings in the matter and they caused him to drink heavily and when in drunken stupOr removed the coin from his pockets. Justice Milligan held him to appear before the next grand jury.
