BEHOLD HIS AERoPLANE IN FLIGHT
Still making progress with the times,
a dandy with cane,
Tall hat, tight waist and ruffed shirt,
He made his bowsagain.
Twas only one short year ago
We heard rush and jar.
In dust and smoke before US stopped
A scarlet motor car.
Forth stepped chauffeur clad in furs
And, mid the mingled din
OF horns and bel !, invited US
To take a tive. vemonth's spin.
But now above the chimes, behold,
We listen in the night
To hear the whirina fans that bear
His aeroplane in flight!

NAVAL RANK IN DANGER THE GOVERNORS VETO
Japan and Germany Are Now Dawson Has Vetoed the License
Forging Ahead Measure.
P KILLS HOUSE BILL NO. 20
Thinks the interests OF the State
Were Not Protected-Ptaces the
State at Mercy Of Cities.

Charleston, March 1o--Governor
Dawson has vetoed house bill No. 90
the general License law. The main
feature of this bin was that it requir-
ed city retail liquor licenses to be not
less than $500. Originally the bill
was an administration measure and
required that the state should charge
the same as the CITY. For instance. IN
Bluefeld the local license is $4,000
In such case the states would be the
same amount In the house the bill
was amended so that the local retail
license should be not less than that
charged by the state. In the senate,
however. the provision making the
state license the same as the city
when the latter was higher. was strick-
en- out but the house amendment was
LEFT in. In conference the bill was
made to read that cities should charge
not less than $500 and that the state
should charge uniform fiat rate or
$500. In that shape the bill parsed
1t was on account of this provision
that the governor vetoed the bill. In
that form he declared in his veto mes
sage that the law would seriously i'm.
pair the revenues of the state and at
this time the state is in no position
to have Its revenues reduced 1t plac.
ed the state completely at the mercy
of the cities, he said. BY holding the
state down to $500 and boy allowing
cities to charge as much license as
they pleased and making the minimum
at least $500, the city's revenues might
be increased but the tendency would
be to bring about such reduction in
the number of saloons that the states
revenue would be cut If the provis-
ion protecting the state. that is, al.
lowing the state to charge as much as
city. had been retained the governor
woud have approved the bill. The
governor says he warned the finance
committee on this point but no atten-
ton was paid to his warning, appar-
emily.

COUNTY COURT TAKES ACTION
Railroad Moves Tracks Over ON he
Charles Town Rcad-c auseway
Must BE Repaired.

For encioachment on public road
two corporations are forced to am
swer to the Berkeley county court.

AT session OF the county court
last Friday an order was passed di-
recting County Clerk Bender TO SUM
mon before the court the two above
named corporations on the following
Monday.
Yesterday the two corporations APP
peared, by counsel, before the county
court and asked that the case be con
tinued till today, which was granted.
On Monday a petition was filed In
the county court signed by r. Yer
non Aier and other taxpayers of the
Arden district, complaining against
the r. and O. railroad and the Stand.
ard Lime and Stone Co. for encoacil-
ing on the Charles Town road near
the stone quarry.
Some time ago the railroad tracks
We're moved some distance west at
the point indicated, laying them for a
short distance on the Charles Town
road without permission from the
county court.
Another thing complained OF is the
bad condition of the .causewav near
the stone quarry which Is now or will
soon be menace to travel on that
section of the Charles Town road
At the time or going to press no
decision had been reached with regard
to the above matter at this after

NEW CONCRETE SEWER
Dyewater Run to be Severed
Whole Length,
WORK TO BEGIN TN so DAYS
New Sewer viii Ee 1850 Feet Lona
and Four Feet in nismeter--5al-
tirAore Engineers Here.

III accordance with the action taken
at the meeting Of the city council
last Thursday night authorizing the
street committee Is have a concrete
sewer constructed on Dyewater run.
from College street to Spring street,
a distance of about geo fest. 1t can
now be announced that shat much
needed public Improvement win ere
long be an accomplished fact
But this is only a part Of the extern
sive plan that the city council has in
mind It is proposed to construct a
four-foot concrete and cement sewer
all the way from College street down
to the Tuscarora creek at the old
water works. distance Of about 1850
feet. At present there Is a s6>inch
terra Gotta sewer from near the wool
en- mills to College street. which 81
considered large enough at that point.
Inasmuch as the ST. Joseph's Cath
ollie church want to erect $4,000
school building this summer near the
South Queen street bridge, and quite
near TO the present offensive open
sewer, the first part of the new con.
cretesewer to be built VIII be from
the South Queen street bridge to
Spring street, about $50 feet 1t Is
expected that work on this section of
the sewer will be commenced In the
next thirty days and finished In thir-
tv more This will enable the Catho-
Hes to go ahead with their building
operations without needless delay.
Baltimore Contractors Here.
Monday two gentlemen arrived here
from Baltimore. both OF whom are
well known in large concrete opera
tions. ThAy were Contractor D. "
Ault and Engineer J. r. Kern and
who spent much time with the street
committee.
In the afternoon the committee and
visitors walked the entire length Of
the proposed sewer along Dyewater
run. AT night they held long ses-
sion together which proved to be most
agreeable and satisfactory
The object of the meeting was not
to get bids for the work proposed. so
much as to get advice and estimates.
These the Baltimore men cheerfully
gave and. though the figures are not
given out for the entire sewer, yet
the estimates furnished are said to
be altogether reasonable, the probable
cost not being nearly as high as might
be expected.
In this connection il may be stated
that Mr.. Ault is about finishing a half
million dollar sewer contract in BATH
more.
The street committee will now ask
for bids for the construction of the
sewer and work will be commenced
this spring.

naval power But, unfortunately
our government unlike all the Eu
ropean naval powers. has no definite
program. Each succeeding congress
appropriates without reference to any
fixed policy of the future. and ii is
clear to see that this haphazard meth
cd must eventually reduce the United
States to the third place, or possibly
even lower. for France and Italy are
each year strengthening their navy.
Last year France completed four bat
tleships of 1866 tons and continued
work on six of $4,000 tons, besides
completing two armored cruisers Of
1850 tons and continuing the work
on three Of 1879 tons. Italy COM
pleted two battleships of 12,425 tons
and continued the work on two more
OF the same size, besides authorizing
enc of 1000 tons and planning one
of 10000 tons and working on five ar
mored cruisers of $3.50 tons each.
Mr.. Roosevelt will lay these and
many other important facts before
congress and upon congress then will
rest the responsibility OF refusing his
urgent request for four battleships In
stead of two, as is now the plal.
