FOR FIFTY YEARS
No Saloon Has Been Allowed to
Exist

No Saloon Has Been Allowed to
Exist.
The destruction by fire, evident
ly incendiary, of the epeakeasy at
Chester. Hancock county W. Va,
brings out rather peculiar situa-
ton in that county. There is pro-
badly no other county in West Vir-
ginia, says the Wheeling News. in
which prohibition sentiment is go
strong. Since 1856 no saloon has
even been allowed there and for a
long time but one drug store could
exist in the county.
Shortly after the close of the war
another drug store was started in
the county, but it ran only short
time until several women raided it
early one Sunday morning and
poured out all the wines and liquors
as well as smashing up things gen.
orally. Although the affair occur.
red in broad daylight and the
names of all the women were we'll
known, the grand jury refused to
indict them; but on the contrary
found nearly two hundred indict.
'ments against the proprietor of the
drug store. 1t is evident from this
that the original Carrie Nation was
born and brought up in Hancock
county, where she has lived and
fourished for nearly half a century.
Among the acts of the legislature
of the early seventies may be found
a law providing that whatever laws
may be made regarding the liquor
traffic of other counties in the
state they should not be ap-
plicable to Hancock county which
reserved the right of local option.
The speakeasy proprietor whose
place at Chester was burned out,
mad been convicted in the Han
cock county Circuit Court, and had
appealed to the State Supreme
Court. In the meanwhile he fiaunt-
ed his defiance to the public by re-

sis very proud of the fact that he

Judge John j. jackson, of this

Lincoln in August 1861 and has
served longer than any other Judge
ever served in the United States.
He is still vigorous and well and
will probably be still upon the

The Amendments to the school
Law.

A great many inquiries having
come to us regarding the amend
ments made to the school law by
the last Legislature, We answer
them here, giving the main pro-
visions of each bill, briefly:
Senate Bill q, passed, provides
that the Boards of Education may.
out of the building funds of their
respective districts, purchase the
necessary prescribed text books to
be used by the pupils in the
schools of their respective districts
and furnish them free. The teach-
ers, when such books are furnished
are required to take charge of the
books and any pupil destroying
any of the books so furnished is
required to replace the same.
House Bill 1873. passed. amends
the Compulsory law. It requires
all children between the ages of
eight and fourteen years to attend
school twenty weeks, yearly, un-
less in case of sickness or death in
the pupils family or private in
struction. The Board of Educa-
tiCn NAV appoint a truant officer,
to enforce the provisions of this
act and allow them 81 per day for
each day actually employed in the
discharge of their duty.
Senate Bill No. %, passed.
authorizes the Board of Educa-.
ton, on a petition of twenty vo-
tiers, to hold special election in
their district as the question of
having more than five months
school.
Senate Bill No. 20, passed, pro-
vides that every person employed
as teacher in the free schools Of
the State who has attended a
county institute shall receive pay
for the same at the rate of one dol
far and fifty cents per day for a
period not to exceed five days in
any one year, the amount of such
compensation to be paid with the
salary of the last month term of
the building fund of the district"
Also that every teacher enroll
ing in the institute shall pay a
fee of $500, 81 rs of which goes to
the general school fund and %
cents to go to bear the incidental
expenses of the institute. The in
stitute shall be held in each
county during the week preceding
that school term in each county
which majority of the teachers
may. by petition or by a vote in
the preceding institute direct.
House Bill, ia, passed, provides
that examinations of teachers
shall be held simultaneously in all
the counties in the State, to be
designated by the State Superin-
tendent. The State Superin-
tendent prepares the questions,
which shall be uniform, and sends
them to the Board of Examiners.
The questions are to be opened
in the presence of the teachers,
the examination held and the
papers Immediately forW arded to
the State Superintendent, who,
with his assistants provided for,
examines. grades them and issues
the certificates. The certificates
are good in any county in the
State. Each teacher is required
to pay fee of 81 instead of 81, as
at present. First grade certifi-
Gates shall be valid for five years,
second grade three years and third
grade on year.
The above are the salient points
in each of the five acts passed
amending the School law.

There is another big scandal in
voIving the chief law officer of the
Post Office Department. A few
fraudulent get rich quick CON-
Germs, have from time to time been
put on the fraud list when they
are unable to nab the gullible mil
lions through the mails. But the
large majority of these concerns
are untouched although the atten-
ton of the Post Office Depart
ment has been called to them
again and again. They are known
to everybody except the astute de-
tectives of the P. o. D whose duty
is to find and prosecute them Now
it appears that a brother.iu-law of
the Officer of the department whose
duty it is to bring these concerns
to justice has been connected with
one of the largest of these fraudu.
lent concerns.
Washington city is unable to
enforce an anti-spitting regulation
because only one of the three Com
missioners, Mr.. Mcfarland, ia
vors it. In this respect Washing
ton is behind New York, Philadel.
phia and other Eastern office,
where expectoration h forbidden.
If in Europe man spits on the
street or any where except in his
handkerchief, ne marks himself as
an American or barbarian.
