price will be fixed on the farmers

matter be left in the hands of the
cotton handling committee and that
when necessary or thought expedient
the latter should give it out. Selec-

Upon our arrival at the Office this
morning what was our very glad sur
prise to find on our desk a photo
graph of our old time friend, Mr..
Michael Dolan, commonly known as
the giant of West Virginia. and when
We say giant we do not mean in
stature only, but one of West Vir-
ginla's giant-hearted sons, pre-
possessing, charitable, whole-souled
fellow of enviable character and a
man loved by all who know him. Mr..
Dolan stands six feet. ten inches in
his stocking feet, weighs $50 pounds
and not one inch less could contain
so much upright manhood. Wolf
Summit, very enterprising city OF
some 1000 inhabitants and having
boiler works employing some fifty
men, and other small Industries
which employ quite large number
of laborers, owes all OF its advance
ment to this energetic man, who
himself, owning greater part of
the city, gives most of his time to
the helping of the needy. The sub
jeet of this sketch has never been
known to turn his back in the time
of need"

'TH0RN'S RECORD
In the State Senate is Praised
by a Wheeling
Newspaper.

WHEELING, Mar. IA Wheel
ing newspaper today published good
picture of Senator A. K. Thorn, of
Clarksburg, and said Of him:
During the session OF the legisla-
ture Just past there was perhaps no
more active, Woodworking member
of the state senate than Hon. Arthur
Is. Thorn, from the Twelfth district,
whose home is in Clarksburg. Sen
ator Thorn was one of the hold-o over
senators and his experience in the
two regular sessions of the legisla:
ture fitted him for the excellent work
he did at the extra session. He was
to the front and active on all the
most important matters before the
extra session and did good work. He
was an ardent supporter of the tax
levy bill and he also worked and sup
ported the county. salaries bill, the
bill regulating the expectation Of gas
and oil, the liquor license bill, the
I'LL "-''b 49,
Montgomery corrupt practices bill,
the prohibition amendment and
many of the others that were i'm
portant.
Senator Thorn has an attractive
personality and became well ac-
quainted with the people while at
the session. He is good con-
scientious hard worker, who does
what he believes to be for the best
interests of his constituents and for
the betterment of the state, and is
such a man as the Twelfth district
needs in the state senate. The peo-
pie of the district and especially of
olarksburg have great deal to give
him credit for, both at the regular
and extra session, since he has been
representing them in the highest law
making body in the state.
