MICHAEL DOLAN
ASSIGNED MONDAY
Michael ]. Francis, ofwtilsonburg.
Named as Trustee and
Given q Year to
Settle With
Creditors.
-
Assets $5O,O6O;DsbtS $4,000.
Assigns Farm. Store, Live Stock,
Household a n d Kitchen
Furniture; In Fact Ey-
erything=Estate will
Pay Out.

Michael Dolan, the Wolf Summit
merchant, made an assignment Mon
day afternoon for the benefit Of his
creditors.
Col. M. j. Francis, of Wilsonburg,
was named as trustee. and is given a
year in which to pay of Dolan's In
debetedness, either by public or pri-
vate sale of the property assigned:
Mr.. Dolan assigned everything he
had. The property consists Of BIZ
acres OF land, forty or more dwelling
and other houses. an $4,000 stock Of
general merchandise, accounts, debts,
and notes due him to the amount of
$1,000 or more, farm implements, live
stock, hay grain, household and kltch-
en- utensils. The estimated value Of
the properly assigned will reach at
least $4,000 and may largely exceed
that amount.
The liabilities, as reported in the
paper Of assignment, aggregate lit
tie less than $4,000. There are said
to be few debts not reported in the
assignment, but provision is made to
pay all, whether named in the deed Of
assignment or not. Debts are to be
paid according to their priorities.
The listsof creditors with amounts
due them, as stated In the deed, are as
fn11nxvc.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1902-01-17


Mr.. Dolan's wife joined with him in
the assignment. The surrender Of
everything they had is an indication
that they earnestly desire to treat
their ere iitors fairly. Besides the am
Pile provision made in the assignment
paper cannot help but be satisfactory
to all creditors.
The assignment was forced upon him
at this juncture by the Institution OF
several law suits in circuit court.
The failure is due to the fact that
Mr.. Dolan during the early oil develop
ment at Volt summit erected abont
forty houses at a cost of $4,000 or
more, borrowing the money to pay for
them. He also put in very large
stock of merchandise, which did not
meet as ready sale as he had antici-
pated. He could obtain money to
meet his obligations when they fell
due.
A jrdiciouS selection was made In
the trustee, and under his manage
ment the estate will be properly and
safely handled. Dolan's friends claim
that his property will pay Off all the
debts dollar for dollar and that he will
have comfortable estate left after
all debts have been paid.

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.

State politics are notably quiet THIS
wear. There is missing to very EVIL
dent extent the fuss and feathers
usually common in such a contest
and the campaign is proceeding
quietly. This does not mean that
the voters of the state are lfstless
and apathetic, but simply that they
are too busy with individual af-
fairs to mix up to any great extent
with the political struggle.
This is good. 1t doesn't do city,
county or state any good to be torn
wiki internal discussions. When the
proper time arrives the people will go
to the polls and in an orderly manner
declare their conscientious choice.
The purpose of an election can be
served without wild scramble, and
the sober, sensible people OF Georgia
are beginning to learn this fact.

Old-Fashioned and Red Hot.

From the Savannah News.
The selection of Representative
Griggs of Georgia as chairman OF the
democratic congressional campaign
committee is being very favorable com
mented on by the democratic press OF
the north. The Albany IN. "
Argus, discussing the matter, says:
Judging by all appearances this
years camUaign is to be an old-fash-
ion I'd, red hot fight all along the line
and old hands at the throttle, used to
the feel of the road are looking
ahead to democratic victory. 1t is a
time when wise leadership and saga
cious managementwil count for much;
and what is known of the man from
Georgia is in his favor" The Argus
further says that the democrats OF
the south will find that their brothers
of the north are Sin mood to receive,
in hearty good will and fellowship,
any and all suggestion looking to a
closer alliance and better organiza-
ton ofdemocrats everywhere, without
regard to section.

Time to Halt.

The EatontOn Messenger sounds the
following note of warning:
The people are paying more taxes
than they ought to pay. The state
tax rate is higher than it ought to be.
The tendency in state Legislation has
been toward public extravagance. APP
preparations have exceeded the public
incomes and the reserve fund has been
wiped out of existence. The tax rate
is increasing. but the ability to pay is
not. Such a system is false and unjust.
Ii would ruin any private business, and
it will ruin any state. The time ha-
come for halt. Corporations should
be made to pay their just part of taxes
A wise economy OF an old fashioned
frugality should prevail, and then the
tax should be limited by constitution
al amendment. The people are en-
titled TO it,.
These words were penned by mem
Der of the legislature. and every read
ing man knows they are true.

SAD SPECTACLE TO MEN AND ANGELS

A county wherein the best citizens
in every community are engaged in
selling liquor. Her county officers,
her farmers, her merchants, her law
yers, her doctors are all selling liquor.
Every church in it is composed OF
members who are daily selling liquor.
Every preacher living in the county,
though he may stand before his
church and congregation on Sunday
and treason of righteousness, temper
ance and JUDGMENT to come" at the
same time he is engaged through the
week in selling liquor.
This is certainly sad and alarming
state of things. Now what reason
have we for such conduct? Some say
it will be sold; and, therefore, we will
sell it. But that won't do, for there Is
not crime in the whole catalogue of
crimes that men have not committed
and will commit. But that fact does
not Justify crime. Others say there
is money in it, and we had just as we'll
get it as the saloon men. Well, there
may be money in stealing and gam
bling and many other wrong things,
but no man dare plead that fact to JUS
tify himself in participating in any of
these evil practices.
But so many plead that the dispen-
sary is so much better than barrooms.
Now, [ have never bought or tasted
dispensary liquor. l have never dark
ened the door of a dispensary, and
never expect to. Yet, no doubt, the
same kind of liqur is sold there as is
sold 10 barrooms; and it produces the
same effects. 1t is trne no drinking is
allowed there. but 1t is done some
where, and it strikes me that where
it is sold is the most suitable place for
drinking. This is what l want to say
10 my fellow citizens of this county,
that saloons, bar rooms and blind til
gers are run by individuals on their
own responsibility, but the dispeuoarv
drags us all into the UBIQUITOUS BUSH
ness of selling liquor. Without sim
gle good reason why we should con-
tinue in this business, insist that we
should abandon it. NJ. B. L. BINION.
