was the principal speaker at las
nights session of the fourth annua
meeting of the West Virginia Boar,
Of Trade. He gave in detail TIL
progress of the State along lines of de
yelopment and especially as to tn

Legislation to further the objects o
the State Board of Trade among which
was that the State itself make annud
appropriations to carry on the work 0
the board.
Mr.. Davis insisted that the agrlcul
tural interests of the State shout
give more care and attention to raising

people and State and federal Officials
toward corporations, that there may
he a clear understanding OF the dii
ference between corporations ami

tions 1t requires Of them the better TO-
the public interests.
