JUR OF TWELVE
Must be Granted by Circuit Courts in
Appeal Cases.

The State Court of Appeals has, in
an opinion handed down in case de-
cided during the present term, held
unconstitutional the law which per-
nits circuit court to require trial by
jury of six in cases appealed from
justices courts. The opinion holds
that wherever the appellant demands
trial by jury Of twelve, the circuit
court shall SO grant. The decision IS
very important, as it affects nearly
every case of the kind. 1t was rem
dered in the case of Lovings against
the Norfolk & Western Railroad, re-
ferred to several days ago, in which
Lovings sued the road for the recovery
Of damages alleged to have been sus-
tanned on account of his ejectment by
the conductor on an N. & W. train.
Lovings had paid his fare and receiv-
ed slip from the conductor. The
conductor who relieved this conductor
refused to accept the slip as fare and
forced Lovings to get off the train.

To Change Sixth Street.

move Is on foot to change the
ronte of Sixth street which runs TO
the river near the Morgantown Glass
Works. 1t is proposed to change
from the present route which is down
very steep grade to another with a
different angle allowing an easy de-
scent TO the river. A wharf is pro-
posed to be built at the foot OF this
street and this will be great conven-
fence to all the people In that section
of town. The town council Of Seneca
has the matter under consideration.
1t will probably be carried out as

BEAUTIFUL POEM.
Considered the Finest Thing Ever
Written by West Virginian---
Product OF Pen Of DIR, Purinton.

The following poem written by
Dir. Purinton is thought by many
competent judges to be the finest
thing ever written by native West
Virginian. inappropriate to pub
lish il when he is being considered
for the presidency of the University,
West Virginia land of mountains,
Peaceful Wales and sunny sky
Land OF ripping streams and fountains.
Making joyous melody
On their journey to the sea;
Strength OF soul and peace unhroken,
Let thy bounteous gifts betol1en,
Through the years that are to be.
West Virginia land OF beauty,
Smiling fields and fragrant flowers
Gods own thoughts OF love and duty
Written ON the passing hours
Let thy beauty never die;
Breathe its spirit DER thy daughters,
Purer than the purest waters,
Fairer than the fairest sky.
West Virginia land OF treasure
Buried in the silent earth
Natures gift in boundleas measure,
Waiting him who calls IL forth.
Be that wealth no longer lost,
Let thy sons with regal spirit,
Claim the kingdom they inherit.
Whatsoever that claim may cost,
West Virginia stand thou ever
On the hills OF truth and right,
Let thy sons and daughters never
Compromise in virtues fight.
Be their years Of age or youth,
Crowned with diadems Of beauty,
Sanctitied to God and duty.
At the holy shrine of truth.
