ticket the name of Hon. Eelllott North
colt, of Huntington is fayorably
mentioned. There are number Of
others who are mentioned, but no
formal announcement made by any Of
them. There are many reasons why
Mr.. Northcott would be an admirable
standard bearer for our ticket next
year. These reasons are very essential
for a good leader. Mr.. Northcott is
a campaign orator and would take the
stump and fail the Democrats to death.
He is an attractive orator and could
defend the cause for which he is
fighting admirably, probably as no
other man whose name is mentioned.
We have no word of criticism for any
other man whose name has been men
toned for the leadership Of our State
ticket, but 1t does occur to us that
Mr.. Northcott would be the candidate
upon whom all could happily unite.
He is aggressive and would be an ex-
ecutiye which would lend the proper
dignity to the high position. His large
acquaintance with the people of the
southern section of the State would
also be much in his favor. His name
is a household word, in the southern
counties Of West Virginia, and the
people throughout the State know Of
him. Heis a well equipped, clean man
and would make good candidate and
a good governor, = Preston County

Odd Occurrence In the Hunting Field
On the afternoon of Feb. 8, 1904, the
hounds Of his grace the Duke of Beau
fort were In full cry. The run had been
a long one, and they knew that the fox
was almost spent. Suddenly the scent
turned abruptly from the open. leading
straight into the garden Of cottage in
the little village of Castle Coombe
Those who were following wondered
what had happened and were more as
tonished still to see the entire pack.
without checking for an instant, dash
through the open door into the little
room. A shrin scream was heard, and
when the whipper In threw himself
from his horse and gained the thresh-
old he saw a sight which probably NO
fox hunter has ever met before or
since. A white faced woman stood
clasping & child In her arms, and right
there in the cradle, from which the in
FAINT had just been snatched, eighteen
couple OF fierce hounds were struggling
to devour their fox.

DECISION REGARDING TIE
HARBOR POLICE OF PORT

necessary to detect any violation with
in their jurisdiction of the laws for
the protection of ports, harbors, bays
and rivers, and requires the county
commissioners to audit and pay the
expenses so incurred by the board of
pilot commissioners, as other charges
against the county are audited and
paid, is valid enactment for the pur
poses therein stated.
10. The constitution does not re-
quire that the legislature shall I'M
pose a limitation upon expenditures
incurred for county purposes. and in
the absence of such a limitation the
legislature has plenary power within
proper county purposes.
II. Under Section $50 of the Re-
vised Statutes Of 1892, section 1902 OF
the General Statutes of 1906, the ne
cessity for mourning expenses in de-
tecting any violations Of the law for
the protection Of ports, harbors, bays
and rivers is to be determined by
the board Of pilot commissioners and
no duty with reference thereto is
imposed upon the county commission
ers except that of auditing and paying
for such expenses
L. The fact that the greater part
Of a port or harbor is within the cor
porate limits of city and is under
the protection of the police depart
ment Of the city, does not relieve the
county OF its powers and duties with
reference to the protection of the port
or bay or harbor within its territory.
13. Even if a harbor lies within
the corporate limits of more than one
county and is under the police pro
lection of both counties, the state is
not thereby precluded from providing
for the protection OF the portion of the
harbor, in one of such counties at tho
expense of the county.
IA. When an expenditure by 4
county is authorized by valid law
and the correctness of the amount due
by the county is ascertained and ap
proved as the law directs, there being
no question as to bona trdes, it is the
duty of the county commissioners tC
audit, approve and pay the same. and
such payment may be enforced by
mandamus.
Judgement affirmed.

That is why from one district and
from one firm so many varieties OF
wine come. These varieties don't mean
that each is made from a different
kind Of grape. They mean. az q rule.
that they are made from different
squeezes of the same grape The first
squeeze of course makes the best and
dearest wine. When you buy this
grade you win always find on the label
the words Premier Cru first squeeze"

GraceviIIe Messenger:

In the late contest for the judge
ship of the First Judicial circuit of
Florida, Hon. J. Emmett Wolfe has
won out over Hon. w. H. Watson of
Mariana Mr.. Watson, however,
should feel proud of his popularity
and the high esteem in which he is
held by those who are fully compe-
tent TO judge of mans fitness and
ability to fill a position of so much
trust and honor. No doubt Gov. Brow
ard made the appointment, not SO
much as a choice between the fitness
and ability of the man, but as a matter
of choice when and where all things
were equal. The Pensacola Journal,
speaking of Mr.. Watson, very aptly
and, in our judgment prophetically,
suggests that the future holds many
things in store for one whose ability
and character have already won such
general public recognition. Judge
Wolfe'S record in the several
positions which he has formerly held
inspires confidence in the public mind
that he will continue his record for
efficient service on the judicial bench.
