NOTES CAUGHT ON THE FLY
While Making Circuit OF Busy Towns
In Nearby Counties.

BY Member Of The Argus staff.
Ten days ago your correspondent set out
out on circular tour and like the squealer
that crawlcd through crooked log, he
came out where he started in.
Philippi, the county seat of Barbour, was
seen under the disadvantage of cold, drizzIy
weather and muddy streets. The fire last
November which burned out block in the
heart OF the town also Injuries its appearance
temporarily. But Philippi is a fine town
and has people whom it is pleasure to
meet. The burnt section will be rebuilt
better than before. Unfortunately, another
fire broke out the night we lett, but not
soon enough TO have ii laid to our charge.
Belington IS quite place and has fine
situation. II may expand into city with.
out having to climb any steep hills. The
town IS becoming a railroad center. Our
former townsman, Grant Graham, has a
we'll supplied drug store and is doing a good
business. That he stands we'll in the esteem
OF the people is evident from the fact that
ne was elected mayor without dissenting
vote. Among others whom we had the
pleasure Of meeting was the genial Fred
Moore, graduate of the State University
and lately principal Of the Reform School.

was when the writer saw it nine years ago.

STATE HOUSE NEWS.

From the Charleston Gazette.
Attorney General Freer has given
another opinion that will be of much
interest to the bar of this State, in
that it will affect their revenue in
cases tried by them for INDECENT
criminals. The opinion was given
In answer to a query from the Audi
tor. The query submitted is, "Can
Judges of the Criminal and Circuit
Courts fix the amount of fees for
services of attorneys rendered in
their court under appointment for
INDECENT persons, indicted and tried
for felony, and are such fees payable
out of the State Treasury ?" The
Attorney Generals opinion is as
follows
Under the common law, which is
in force In this State, "it is part
of the general duties of the mem
bers of the bar to act as counsel
(when appointed by the Court) for
indigentpersons charged with felony;
and they must look alone to the
future ability of the accused for
compensation for their services,
where no provision is made for
compensation by statute"
find no statute authorizing said
courts to fix the amounts, or any
fees for such service, nor do find
any provision authorizing payment
out of the State Treasury for such
services. 1t is true that Judge Dent,
In concurring opinion written in
the case of Yates ct al. VS.. Taylor
County Court, IS S. f. "a, con
strues section 7, chapter I6I of the
Code, as authorizing said courts to
INK the amount of fees for such
services; and that the same should
be paid out of the State Treasury.
But as this question did not arise
in that case, said opinion is not
binding authority and until the
question is settled by the Supreme
Court, or there is additional lepisla.
ton on the subject, we respectfully
decline to follow Judge Dents
construction of said statute, and
hold that the same does not include
services of members of the bar
rendered under appointment for
INDECENT persons charged with felony
in the Criminal or Circuit Courts of
the State.
No doubt this opinion will cause
considerable discussion, as the
attorneys of the State will he COM
PEELED to look elsewhere for their
compensation, and will have the
matter settled at the first opportun-
ity.

A FEW POINTERS.

I. The author is already known to many
people In the county either personally or
| by reputation.
2. The favor which Under the Cotton
woods is meeting everywhere should be a
guaranty that the new book will not come
below the standard
3. A book-story OF Preston county Is
something entirely new. Even book. story
OF West Virginia inyseneral at the present
day is quite novelty.
4. In size. style of type. and general APP
pearance. II will be the same as Cotton
woods. yet IL will be a handsomer volume.
S. The edition will be small. The book Is
sold by subscription. The ground will be
gone over but once. and no assurance of
any future opportunity to get the book can
be promised.
6. A personal canvass OF the county takes
good deal OF time. especially when one
person has II nearly all to do. People are
not always found at home or even close to
home.
2. The work will be given to the printer
as soon as enough subscriptions come In.
and IL will then be put through the press
at once and with all possible speed.
3. The personal delivery of books in
wolves quite as much trouble as the can
vass itself.
g. The less work it takes TO sell an arti-
Gle. the cheaper IL can be sold
10. Winning or Losing 2" sells at sr.oo
This is the lowest living price that can be
made, and il is put this low in the belief
that the book will have liberal patronage.
Then in view of the points just named
will you not sign an enclosed subscription
blank and forward II at your earliest CD
portunity1 When the book is ready. each
subscription will be notified by mail. He
or she is then to call on some designated
merchant or other party within convenient
reach and receive the book through him.
But when subscriber is solitary. no Others
being near by, he will kindly remit to the
publishers and receive his book by mail
BY this plan you will aid the success of
the book by making It possible for II to
come out all the sooner. And besides this
all subscribers may receive their books
promptly and at very nearly the same time
Respectfully.

including what can be seen on the broad
road to Davis, has dreary look. Ii is
thickly strewn with scorched, rotting LOGS

the effects of fire. But Davis itself is a
pleasant town and must have fine summer
climate owing to the high elevation. A
visit to the the town school was much en-
joyed. The principal and his ten
associates were very courteous and obliging.
The next day was snowy, but while the
old snow was almost wholly gone from
south OF Backbone mountains, there were
old drifts on the north side, which were
eight feet deep in places and hard enough
to bear mans weight.
AT all points along the route there was a
noticeable feeling of confidence in the now
rapid growth and development of our State.
If Preston did not grow faster during the
last ten years this is not to be wondered at
when one meets so often with Prestonians
in other counties.

Senator Depew Is known as a
smiling conciliator rather than a

be depended upon he is likely to
figure as fighter il the announced

Assistant Secretary of War, in spite

ing of threats of what the admins
tration would do if he opposed the
confirmation of the nomination of
Col. Sanger, which have been heard

said eff fight is to be declared
against me in this matter / will be
prepared for it, and / will fight it to
the bitter end. l do not intend to
sacrifice my constitutional right or
responsibility through fear of losing

There are reasons for the belief

merely making big bluff for the
purpose of landing some appoint

Here is some political news from
the Charleston Gazette
Ex-State Senator w. G.. Worley.
OF Preston county, was in the city
this morning and was a caller at
the State House. He was the Presi-
dent Of the Senate in the Leeisla-
ture of 1895, and was the first
Republican to hold that place for a
period of twenty-five years previous
to that time. He was on his way
home from a trip to Cincinnati and
stopped off to shake hands with the
boys. For the past two years he
has not taken much hand in politics.
but it is said he will be a candidate
to succeed Senator Davis, who has
been appointed collector Of internal
revenue. His nomination will not
be made, however, as Senator Ian.
ham is from the same county, and
other counties would like the honor.
