With rHE SOLONs.
Aususta County Bill is Now
Before the Legislature.

Big Lobby on the Ground for and
Against the Measure-Chances are
that it will fail Of Passage Gov.
White not Feeling Very Good Over
Tax Commission Fate,
News from Charleston today lie to
the effect that the Augusta county
bill has the center of the stage and
that there will be something doing
| in this direction until this matter is
settled. The opposition to the bill
is very much encouraged by the
showing which they have made and
| it is stated that they have weakened
the force Of the arguments being
made by those who are backing the
bill.
Another interesting rumor in this
connection is that in case the bills
for the division of number of other
counties will be intro luced- Among
these is one to divide Preston, an
other for Kanawha and still others
for Pocahontas, Greenbrier and Ran
dolph. All of these schemes will
attract attention and have hooters
who favor them as they will give a
chance for more Office holders
1t is thought that the Augusta
/ bill will be referred back to the
committee today and it may be that
it will stay in this hands Of the com
mittee during the rest OF the SEES
sion.
Gov. White is not at all pleased
with the fate which met the report
of the tax commission and he is ex-
pected to call an extra session of
the legislature in order to consider
the report and act upon it in some
manner. He hopes that the House
will do something for the various
bills but it is not likely that they
will do So
Following is the resolution adopt
ed which sidetracked the Tax bills
this year in the Senate:
Resolved, That il is the sense OF
the Senate that such of the bills
prepared by the Tax Commission
which provide for change in the
general scheme of our present sys-
ten of taxation should not be con-
sidered by the Senate at the present
session, for the reason that the peo-
pie of this State should be first af
forded an opportunity to acquaint
them selves with the recommends
lions of the Tax Commission as to
such change, and give expressions
of their views 10 the members Of the
Legislature upon this subject. it be
ing the opinion of to Senate that the
report of the Commission is sub
stanGially unknown to the people Of
the State at this time.
Judge Reynolds, the mighty Re-
publican leader of the House the
other day admitted the dangerous
tendencies of the Republican poll
cies In the LEGISLATURE when he
warned the Republican members
that if they did not proceed with |
more consideration, in diminishing
the sources of the States revenues,
the Democrats would at the next
session of the Legislature, occupy |
the seats now filed by the Republi
can majority. This wise and far
seeing Legislator from Mineral can
read the handwriting ON the wall.
The spectacle of the two great Re
publican leaders at daggers points
on the floor is significant comment
upon the unanimity or harmony in
the Republican ranks.

AFTER THIS
What can Residents Of Morgantown
Demand?

Rev. H. Fl. Right, pastor OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, residence
on Hampshire street, Piedmont, w.

when there Is added to it the pangs

friends and acquaintaDces advised !;
when he has been In the hands Of
physicians and more than one special

large cities, none Of whom were able
to render him anything but meagre
assistance, he naturally places very
high estimate upon any medicine
which briggs relief. To any one call
