END OF PINE CASE.

In Circuit court dI hiouio
bourne late Saturday afternoon
Former City Clerk James ii. Pine
pleaded guilty to an indictment
for forgery and was sentenced by
Judge Willis to serve three years
in the penitentiary. He has been
confined in the county jail for
over a year pending the decision
of the Supreme court on the appll-
cation of his attorneys for writ
of error and supersedeas. Capt.
Pine was formerly convicted un-
der the same indictment that ne
pleaded guilty to Saturday, and
was given a six-year term. His
attorneys obtained a new trial
and the sentence Saturday was
something in the nature OF a COM
promise. Pines shortage during
his three years as clerk OF this
cityowas over $4,000.
At the previous trial of Pine
for forgery, to which he has con-
fessed. is known as the Bently
& Gerwig order. Clerk Pine pur-
chased 1926 worth of office fur
niture from Bently & Gerwig, OF
Parkersburg. for which he pre-
scented a bill to the City Council
and it was ordered paid. Clerk
Pine then issued an order for So. %
payable to Bently & Gerwig, and
presented it to Mayor Charles
Grier, who signed it. The order
was then taken to the First Ma
tional bank in this city and a New
York draft was given to Capt.
Pine. but made payable to the Or
der of Bently & Gerwig, but the
amount had been changed or
raised, so when it was presented
to the bank it called for the sum
of 1925. Capt. Pine took this New
York draft to Bently & Gerwig,
paid the bill due the firm from the
city, and got the rest of the draft
in cash. The draft in due time re-
turned to the bank here all prop
erly endorsed by Bently & Ger
wig, and the bill for 1925 all paid
and apparently, everything was
correct. The records show this Or
der was issued to Bently & Gerwig
on account of street work. Mayor
Grier swore he did not sign the Or
der mutilated as it is or for that
sum; John Mckay issued the New
York draft and gave it to Capt.
Pine. Bently & Gerwig and
clerk all explained how they re-
ceived it and paid the Captain the
difference in cash to him. He
did not 60 upon the witness stand
and no evidence was given on his
behalf. He has always claimed
when the proper time came he
would and could explain every
thing in satisfactory way, and
until he had an opportunity, asked
his friends to withhold their judg-
ment on the charges made. He
had splendid opportunity on
Saturday to explain how the Or
der was changed, what became of
the money and all about it, but the
only satisfaction and consolation
the taxpayers of Sistersville have
is that Pine confessed through his
attorneys to forgery. The exact
amount of the city's funds he ap-
propriated to his own use is not,
nor never will be known. In the
compromise of the attorneys there
is to be no further prosecutions
of Pine by the City of Sistersville.
At the expiration of his term it

paying his doctor bills while con-
fined in the county Jail, has cost
the taxpayers of this city and
county hundreds of dollars. 1t
will be good news to the citizens
in general that the case has at last
been disposed of. Capt. Pine had
the confidence of most every citi-
zen in Sistersville just previous
to his arrest in March, 1903. How
ever, it has clearly developed by
his own confession that he is pol
ished traitor and an educated
rogue of the most dangerous type.

No Politics IN Masonry.

While Masonry has grown to vast
proportions, and extends all over the
world, it can never be used to exert
any combined influence in political or
eccleeisstica affairs. It is built upon
too broad lines to be diverted from
its proper aims. It receives as mem
bers men of all nations, creeds and
beliefs. Its supporters come from
every rank and class in society. 1t
gathers to its counsels and about it's
alter men whose birth, early environ
ment, training and experiences have
been widely different, and unites
them for pure and blameless pur-
poses. I; recognizes 10 sect and has
no politics.
Freenasonry is the handmaid of
all seeking truth, light and right. 1t
is generous to fault in dealing with
the frailties of men. Its mission is
peaca and goodwill on earth.
It inculcates the mutual obligations
of man to man in every walk of life.
It enforces the practice of every duty
man may owe to his Creator, to his
peighbor and to himself 1t brings
together upon common level the
prince and the peasant, the artist
and the artisan, the rich and the
poor, uniting all in a universal
brotherhood.

Letter frcm Arkansas.

Mr.. Il. III. HarmaD, E1ltor OF the
Dispatch:
If you will give me little space
in the columns of your much esteem
ed paper I will try to write you a
few items from this part Of the moral
vineyard. The farmers are done
stacking away fodder. Most all
have put away all abundance of it.
Most all are done sowing wheat;
some is coming up. Quite a novel
way here of sowing whea:; they SOW
in corn land before they gather the
corn out; plow in between the rows
OF corn, ,hsn gather the corn out.
They Craze the stock all winter in
the fields. No "Stock Law" here.
Good range in woods here 9 months
in the year.
Crops are fair average Of corn.
Sweet potatoes are fine, also Irish
potatoes are very fine. They can
raise 100 bushels or more to. the
acre without apy fertilizer. They
are busy now housing both kinds of
potatoes. Irish potatoes keep here
all the year round. The writer ia
feastipg on fat "possums and tatres"
also coons and squirrels, OF which
there is an abundant crop of them
raised. Wish you and many OF my
old friends could enjoy some of them:
Everybody has plenty of white head
cabbage and red spples now.
There is great many new settlers
coming in this part of the country,
buying land and bomesteads from
Uncle Sam" It will soon be Set
tied up thickly. A good many are
attracted here by the fine fruit and
vegetables which are produced here
in such abupdances also, the cheap
lands and fine hardwood timber
which is here in large quantities. All
kinds of oak, sweet ana black gum,
scaleybark, hickory, ash, some walnut
aud short leaf pine-no long leaf
pine as there is in South Carolina. A
rich harvest awaits the saw mill man.
There is more new railroads to be
built in this county in the near fu.
ture.
The north part of this county is a
rich mining section. Z,nk, copper
and lead are found in large quanti-
ties. Some people have become i'm
mensely rich.
New settlers are coming in here
from North Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana,
Texas, Indisn Territory and one
from South Dakota in this neighbor-
hood.
Apples raised in north Arkansas
took the premium at the Worlds
Fair, 1904, in st. Louis.
This part of the State is destined
to be the richest part of the State Of
Arkansas in no distant day. There
is as fine q marble in this county in
two miles of the county seat as any
one would wish to see. They take a
fine polish sure. The writer has
been to the quarry, also, has seen
tombstones finished up.
Fare the well, me lovely Arkansas

But I'll never come back to you. !
