Aorgantown Dominion
A Preston county man writing OF the
resources of hiscounty, theexcellent finan-
cial condition, the natural resources of
the county, and the thrift and industry
of its people, mentions that new court
house is to be built at Kingwood to cost
$3.50, 900.
Casually he mentions the fact that the
present structure has stood and been in
steady use since the former building was
burned by Elihu Gregg in 1869. The
story Of Gregg, who was one of the most
notorious men in Preston forty years ago,
IS well worth the telling.
Shortly after the burning Of the court
house in Kingwood in 80 he was charged
with the crime, arrested, and placed on
trial. The evidence was Overwhelmingly
against him and ne was convicted. The
fact that there were two persons residing
IN the building at that time, both of whom
luckily escaped, however, caused the
charge to be made capital offense. and
after conviction he was sentenced To be
hanged. a stormy scene took place in
court following the announcement of the
penalty, and Gregg openly abused the
judge and asserted that he would never
be hung. He was placed in jail pending
execution, and some few months later ef.
iected his escape, being lost completely 10
the people Of Preston county for the period
Of twelve years.
At the expiration Of that length Of time
he was discovered in Washington. Pa. bv

Taxation under the benevolent Dawson
tax reform" is higher than any time in
the history of the state. And it was the
apostle Of ''tax reform" who argued that
the Democratic party should be turned
out of power because it appropriated $2,-
699, $50. But when "Tax-reform" Daw-
son got in he ran the state appropriations
up TO $6,30l, ITO, or So, COG, $50 MORE
than the Democrats. Now, you Repub-
leans who glory in ''voting the ticket
straight" ponder over that and see if
you can figure out that you have been

The same wall is going up from every

planning bitterly of the increase in the as
sessment for 1909. They point to the
promises of the Republican party to re-
duce taxation, but instead of reduction
they are getting salty increase.
