Real Estate Transfers.

Monday was sales-day and a
lot-or rather several lots-of
Williamsburg dirt changed
hands at what some say were
fancy prices. That depends
however, altogether on the
point of view and the plane
of vision of buyer and seller
are as a rule quite wide apart.
Howbeit, the real estate was
transferred and if any one of
these buyers is a sadder man
the public is none the wiser.
As auctioneer, a new Rich
mond appeared IN the person
of Mr. Walter r Bryan, and
when he overcame the prelimi'
nary embarrassment due to the
innate modesty of beginner
Mr. Bryan, in the vernacular
OF the boys, proved to be
cracker Jack. As an admirine
by-stander remarked he had al
last found his calling.
There We're two classes OF
sales, those OF the Sheriff under
foreclosure and nine tracts ad,
vcrtised by the executors OF the
estate of d Il Martin. The Sher
ifs sales came first and were
disposed Of as follows:
Two tracts, containing lGt
and 100 acres, respectively, tc
Cooper Bros the mortgages, for
$500 each. Two acres at Trio
to NJ Z Mcdonald for S245. One
tract near Cedar Swamp, con
tanning 500 acres, to S Brown tor
$1,000. One tract, containing
rs acres near Potato ferry, was
bid in by F Rhen i Son, the
mortgages, for $3.50.
Tue nine tracts advertised for
sale by the executors Of the Mar
tin estate, aggregating 966
acres, brought $3.50.

A Pertinent Sug gestion.

We commend to every on" OF
our Subscribers who is in arrears
foy the paper the suggestion con,
tanned il "E.o's" letter, which :
published this Week. There .rc
hundreds of people who are read
ing the paper every week and
have paid lis nothing for more
thar . Year, ana there are hun
dreds who "oeat" the paper out
of Us oa credit us long as posi-
bic until We had TO cut them OFT
our list in self-defense. If any
thing will appeal to these "slow-
coaches surely "Egos' suggestion
will. The price of subscription
is small-so small indeed that
many Of our friends forget that
they owe it 70: at least they say
they doy; but think what five
hundred of these little accounts
mean to us.
If our friend "Ego's" suggestion
were carried ont what a grand
Christmas this would be, not only
to the editor, but to the Mrs
Editor and the "Second Edition as
well. And how much better pa
per We would be able to give
you in 1910.
We hope that many who have
neglected US for these many months
past vii, act on our friends sug-
gestion and make glad the holl-
DAYS for the editor and those
who are dependent upon his
labors.

Now, will tell ysu what was said to

ed, last year, was speaking to gen.
tIefnas in the hall or in the corridor in
the capitol near the entrance to the

who was well known here in the anti
prohibition lobby, and we were talking
about business matter in which we
had both been interested some weeks
before, and which had fallen through
because the people that he was repre-.
senting didn't care about putting up
any money In view OF the fact that

the amount Of money necessary to be
raised in that day was $50, 600, and in
Ioidentally he mentioned to me that 1t
cost great deal mere than $40, 600 to
defeat the prohibition am sndment here
before the Legislature. He further
said that when he came here there
we're saly fsur Senators that were re-
liabIy opposed to the prohibition
amendment that they could count on.
@. Did he give you the names Of
the Senators who were agai INST it?
As near AZ / can rscolleot, he named
the two Whites and Johnson, and
think he mentioned Miller, but bsker /
in with the name of Silver, because
knew that Silver was originally OPP
posed to the amendment. think we
must have agreed on five; he said
four.

ALL TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION DE-

| ALL TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION DE-
FEATED.
The two measures proposed by the
| temperance forces of West Virginia
namely, the submission of an amend
ment TO the Constitution prohibiting
the manufacture and sale ofintoxicat-
ing liquors, and county local option
bill, were both defeated in the Senate at
the session Of the Legislature which
has just adjourned
The large and vicious liquor lobby
/ was in evidence throughout the entire
session and was able to carry its point
regardless Of the fact that both polti-
cal parties had agreed in their plat
| forms to submit the prohibition
amendment to the people. The battle
was fierce one. The friends of the
measure con tested every step in the Sen
ate. 10th measures passed the House
of Delegates with about sixty votes
for and thirteen against.
PARTY PROMISES EPUDlAIED
The Republican party had plan k
in its platform pleding to submit the
| amendment. OF the thirty members
of Inc Senate twenty-three are Repuo-
leans, nlne Of whom voted against
theamendment. The Democratic party
also had plaak in its platform Wiz
tually piedging it for the amendment.
OF the seven democrats in the Sen
ate only two voted for it.
The vote in the Senate was rs FOL
lows: For the amendment, Santee,
Grimes, Craig, Shinn, Carroll, smith
lof CabelD, Baker, England Ashbuln,
Cofi'mau, Blue, Rutherland, Forman,
Flynn, all Republicans and Fisher

AND MANY OTHERS GIVE TESTIMONY
OF IMPORTANCE.
Senators Hill aud Montgonser cry both
testified to conversation had between
them during the session of 1908, of
which they were members, ia which
the fact was discussed that Senators
were being bought up, and number
Of witnesses testified to the fact-which
is matter Of common know ledge
that liquor dealers and saloonists over
the state have been regularly assessed
to swell the funds with which to fight
temperance legislation.
The committee examined 35 or 40
witnesses.
