Judges. Jeeminy; when we have
alw avs had - battle royal for Judge
ship We can have the services of
such brainy, learned and honest men,
as George Linn and John Hamilton,
for the present salary, Dawson says
that the increase in living in the last
ten years is ffty-fve percent an III
crease in wages only fifteen percent
that is Democratic argument, and
when the laboring men fully realize
this, we will carry West Virginia.
This State is thoroughly Repub-
lican now by reason of the coal,
oil and gas men from the North and
East and Negroes fro m the South,
coming here, but our pc oplewill not
stand much more of thishigh handed
tyrannical use of power and need
Jess extravaganza.
The Governor writes several pages
pleading for high salaries for his
appointees, and only devotes short
paragraph of fourteen lines to the
Virginia debt question. We claim
there is conspiracy on this last
subject, against the State and we
will later furnish the evidence.
Good save the State"

III his message to the legislature
the governor appeals TO that body
for more revenue and declares that
they have not enough revenue now
to meet the needs of the state. At
the same time he urges q large in
crease in the number of salaried of
ficers and likewise an increase in the
salaries Our people can certainly
see after while into what they are
drifting, Increased salaries and
number of officers means increased
expenses, and increased expenses
means increased taxes. Isn't that
a plain proposition ? High valua-
ton is q strong lever to high taxa
ton. The future will reveal the
effects. -Ex.

Granville Rice. Sister Rice was a
daughter of Thomas aud Margaret
Marshall of Va. Her parents moved
to Chenille Lewis Co, which is now
Gilmer Co, VIVA, where she wos
born Aug. Sri 1S41. She was con
verted very early in life and united
with the M. E, Church South. She
lived a consistent christian life, and
was loyal to her church, She was
noble women, kind and gentle,
she was loved hy all who knew her
She was married to Granville Rice
March 1866, and lived in the Little
Kanawha valley about five miles
above Grantsvllle. This union was
blessed with three children all of
which preceded the mother to rest.
Sister Rice was seriously Ill only for
few days She died Of pneumonia
and heart failure Jan. 10, 1907.
She had had several attacks with
this foe but did not succumb until
over powered by intense suffering;
then she fell asleep" without ii
struggle. All was done that could
be done to restore her to hea th, bit
the master had called for her, and
she obeyed the summons and passed
quietly away from earth to her rest
beyond. She leaves three sisters,
loved companion and host of
! friends to mourn her loss. Her
death came as a shock to her great
number of friends, but none will
miss her so much as the afflicted
husband. She was the source of
his comfort which was her delight
Many utterances of profound sym
patty and sorrow are heard for the
bereft husband. May the Lord
bless him and comfort him by giving
! him rest i'm her God.
The funeral services were con
Quoted by the writer at her home
where there was gathered very
large crowd Of sorrowing and sym
pathising friends. The remains
were laid to rest in the family & rave
yard, but a few hundred yards from
her earthly residence. The interest
manifested at the funeral services
demonstrated the fact that she had
established q wide circle of friends
about her. She will indeed be mis-
sed and the scene would be dark
If there were uncertainties regard

January 20, 1907.
A G. Mathews and Others,
My Dear Sir and Friends:-I re-
ceived your petition asking me to
support bill for free text books.
L am glad to get this expression from
our people, but / was pioneer III
starting this movement here. L Oh
the 18th of January Offered two
resolutions, as you will see by House
Journal of that date, which 1 en-
close herewith. These resolutions
were as follows:
"Mr. Kenney offered the following
resolution:
RESOLVED, That the Commit
tee on Education be directed to re
port bill providing for the use OF
uniform school text books in the
free schools Of this State
Which under the rules, lies over
one day
And,
"RESOLYES, That the Committe
on Taxation and Finance be directed
to report bill providing for pur-
chasing school text books to be paid
for out of the state fund, and furn
ishing the same without cost to the
pupils of our free schools. Which
under the rules, lies over one day."
and both were adop ted. but the one
for free books only after fight in
which the wealthy counties objected
but we won. Since then several
bills on these subjects have been
introduced, and referred to comm
ittee on education. Most of them.
however, provide that the books lie
paid for out of county or district
funds. l am in favor of this if we
Can not do better. but much prefer
that they be paid for out Of the
State fund. think wo will get
some law on this subject that will
be better than the present. You
may be assured it will be pleasure
to me to follow your wishes, which
are also mine.
will be delighted to hear from
you on any subject before the Leg
islature, and especially on the road
and bridge question. 1 went before
the Tax Commissioner and made an
effort to have a provision inserted
in tax bill providing for especial levy
OF not to exceed twenty cents on
each one hundred dollars for the
purpose Of building new bridges. {"
L failed there, but when tho bill was
before our Judiciary Committee I
offered this amendment there, and
it was adopted. Don't know what
the House will do about it. I think
a wise provision would ho to submit
such a levy to vote of the people,
and majority to decide. would
be very much pleased TO have letters
from any of our citizens in this sub
ject. 1 think our people are in 70
vor of bridges if all sections Of our
county are treated fairly. We have
