In Market Letter %, published July
10, attention was called to Erie and as
high price as rs was predicted for it
eventually. In Market Letter 81, pub.
Iished August %, was stated: "Ths
showing which Erie will make during
the next few months will surprise
even it's English stockholders. Tho
advance in the price of common stock
will also be surprise to them"
The recent strength and activity Of
Erie is only the beginning Of the move.
The stock is recognized today as
Hartman issue and under the same
speculative influences which control
the price movements in Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific, the stock
should be one of the most attractive
for trading on the New York list.
Erie has the advantage of being low
enough in price to admit of its being
carried on relatively small margins
with safety and for this reason alone,
it should be inviting to the small
trader.
Before the present move is over, tho
stock ought to sell at least as high as
$50 per. share, and if the bull market
which we expect, develops during tho
winter, the price predicted six weeks
ago would not look high for it.
Buy on every recession.

WOMAN
WELL KNOWN HERE
And in Valley Of Virginia Dies
at Her Late Home in
Charleston.

The Rev. G. w. w. jenkins, color
ed, went to Charleston this week to
bury his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ellen
e. Dixon, who was born Jan. is,
1918.
She was highly respected by all
the people of that community, by
white and black, The funeral cor
tege was led by the Rev. Dir. Abner
Hopkins. the pastor Of the old Pres
byterian churchi and the Rev. w. H.
Murrs OF the Nj .. church of Char
lesion. Her funeral was attended by
a number of the leading white citi-
cent OF the community. Her house
was the birthplace of Methodism
among tn negroes in the valley
from Harper's Ferry to Staunton.
The Freewill Baptist church was al
SO organized in her home. Her
home was also the birthplace of the
government schools in the valley and
especially Storer college. This is
what Prof. n. Bracket says of her:
In the early days of the school at
the close of the war she rendered
great service to the teachers, her
keen insight into human nature, her
knowledge of people OF both races
were always at the services of the
president and teachers"
DR.. Hopkins says: "She was one
of the most important women OF her
race in the community and her high
self-respect had won the hearts of
all classes in the town. and thus the
family which she had raised afforded
the people an example that should
be emulated by all the race"
A number of white friends are liv-
ing in Clarksburg who knew her and
among them few childrJl whom
she nursed.

ASUeC1tu 10 IAle leLtBT1tHis
CHARLESTON, Jan. S1-senator
Sam B. Montgomery has introduced
bill known as Senate Bill No. 90
which is expected to pass.
Senator Montgomery says he intro
duced the bill at the request of prom
inent business men of Parkersburg.
Wheeling and Clarksburg and stated
that he was confident It would pass
both houses. The bill is as follows:
"An Act to amend and re-enact
section "a of chapter sc, acts of 1906,
in relation to the abatement as COM
mon and public nuisances of all
places where Intoxicating liquors are
sold contrary to law and prescribing
penalties therefor.
BE it enacted by the Legislature
of West Virginia:
THAT section "a OF chapter SO,
acts OF 1907, be amended and re-
enacted as follows:
Sec. "a. All houses, buildings,
boat houses, club rooms, and places
of all descriptions. where intoxicat-
ing liquors are stored, sold or vended.

such nuisance, upon bill filed by any
citizen, or by the prosecuting attor-
ney of any county, or by any State
officer in the name OF the State of
West Virginia. 1t shall not be neces-
sary for the court to find that the
premises involved were being unlaw-
fully used as aforesaid at the time
of the hearing, but upon finding that
the material allegations of the bill
are true the decree shall order that
no intoxicating liquors shall be sold,
bartered, given away, distributed,

other place now in any part thereof,
for a period of not less than one
year nor more than three years from
and after such finding, in case license
had heretofore been issued for such
sale in said premises in accordance
with the law; otherwise the decree
shall be perpetual. And in addition
to the above the license, II any, there
tofore granted for the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors on the premises shall
be revoked by the court or Judge
rendering the decree"
1t viii be noticed that this bill pro
vides that the club room shall be de-
clared a public nuisance unless 1t
comes under the head OF saloons ana
pays the same license as a bar.
The introduction OF this bill, and
a sister bill. which prohibits the sale
OF intoxicants on Sunday, is proof
that the prohibition craze now so
strong in the South has reached
West Virginia.

RECKLESS BANKING.

To use the words of one OF long
experience in the financial world,
the rewards of conservative bank
ing and the restraint on reckless
ness would be removed under the
system OF bank guaranty. Reckless
or incompetent people who are now
either excluded from the banking
business or held in check by public
distrust would make the pace to
which all other bankers would have
e. conform to get business. Now the
banker who by offering larger inter.
est than the customary rate or by
other inducements seeks to bring de-
pcsits to his bank. is likely to arouse
the suspicion of depositors.
The guaranty Of deposits practi-
ca1ly eliminates character as a neces-
sary factor in the banking business.
Under present conditions OF NEST
ments the personal habits and the
general character of the banker are
subjects Of public interest and are
constantly under the scutiny OF the
community. With federal guaranty
the incentive for depositors to use
care and discrimination in placing
their accounts would be removed
Thew would rely on the insurance
fund. and the conservative banker
who now has his reward in the pre-
ference which discriminating pub.
lie shows for him would have as his
competitor the unknown flnanciel
whose only strength would rest II
the guaranty fund that others hat
created.
