COY. LILLEY'S CAREER.
Governor Lillcy would have been so
wears old had he lived until August 2rd
Born in oxford, Mass, he worked on Il
farm in boYhood. struggling for an ordi-
nary education.
Governor l.illey entered politics after
long period of driving business life. in
which he accumulated Considerab ble
means. As businessman he attacked
governmental methods in use in his home
city in the late n'neties. and in 1900
brought about radical changes in the CIV
ing out of contracts for public work He
charged graft and dishonesty His fear
iessness attracted attention and won him
most of friends, who ever after stood
Loyalty by him

General Assembly. Shortly afterward
he was elected to Congress as Connect

tackled from a business standpoint Tn.

cultural department. the Southern pa

tion during which he bore the hrunt
of fierce attack. This undermined
his health and he came home last
May.

Sixteen years ago Daniel Shawn
was tried for the murder of Absalem
Izor at the town of Romney. The case
was prosecuted by Hon. w. b. Corn
well, who was at that time prosecut-
ing attorney and the Evidence shown
proved that the murder was one of the
coolest blooded in the history OF the
state. The jury found verdict of muir
der in the first degree and Shawn was
sentenced to hang but the governor
nterfered and committed the sentence
to life Imprisonment in the state peni-
Tertiary for life and since that time
shawn has been serving in that insti-
tuition. Recently the governor has
been importuned to grant pardon
and has declined to interfere and Daniel
will have to still attend to the grind of
prison life.

a match to the barn at the same time
he did. The story seem plausible tx-
cepting that he says tsat they slept in
the old house and set fire TO the barn
about seven o'clock tn, next morning
which is Lot true as the barn did not
burn until o'clock in the evening.
Deputy sheriff, d. o. Bartles, went
to Rileyville and brought the Henry
boy here on Tuesday. He is about %
years of age and denies having ever
been in this county.
While here the Fire Marshal went
over the mountain and brought in a
young man named Walter Young
with whom he charges with setting
fire to the Tedrick barn last week aud
also the school house at Tomahawk
last May.
This IS good work and as the mar
sNal gets convict'ons in these cases it
will greatly tend to put damper On
the fire bugs.

Last spring the people of Fairmort
oted their town dry and it has con-
tinued SO since but last week short
cut was token to grant license. The
vets took advantage of the absence OF
two of the dry councilmen and voted
license to the saloons OF the town OUT
the matter was brought before Judge
Mason, OF the Circuit court who Issued
an Injunction against the County court
restraining them from issuing the IL
cense applied for. The injunction was
issued on the grounds that the law
which requires that the application for
license shall be published for thirty
days in the newspapers had not been
coa piled with. Fairmont will be dry
for at least thirty Gays yet.

A writer in the Brooklyn Eagle

A writer in the Brooklyn Eagle
says:
"a bill passed by the lower house of
the Alabama legislature proposes to
legalize the arrest of any person tpos-
sessing United States license for the
sale of liquor, without the formality of
securing any other evidence or even of
alleging any specific set in violation
of state law An old issue is thus
formulated in a shape for logic to tao
kle it freely. We have no doubt that
If the bill becomes law, the logicians
On tie bench of the supreme court of
The United States Will do their duty.
Maine made the possession of federal
license certificates corroborative evil
lence of violation of her liquor law
AT one time she sought also to use the
records Of the United Seates internal
revenue department in her criminal
prosecutions. In the latter effort she
was thwarted. rhe federal courts,
however, did not interfere with the
'corroborative evidence clause of the
state law. Alabama's scheme is to
make the possession of United States
certificates primary and presumptlve,
not corrobarative evidence. This in
wolves an attack on the revenue rails
ing laws of the nation, an attack alb
solutely unmasked and vital. With
such statute on the books of every
state nearly 81 900, 900 ofrevenue would
be taken from the United States in
| special tax certificates alone, and the
collection of Sl56, 100000 altogether
from taxes on spirits would be serious
ly menaced. Whether such state
law constitutional or not will, be set
tied, not by Alabama but by the ma
TONS supreme court. That is the
really significant fact"

The County Court has, in pursuance
of the law named road surveyor and
the fortunate man is Mr.. NV. Wood, of
Hedgesville district and the salary has
been fixed at 800 per year. Mr.. Wood
is clever gentleman aud we presume
is well qualified for the position which
he has been appointed to. The salary
is hardly enough to tempt him away
from his orchard interests and yet he
will be expected to Inspect the county
roads and to do work that will be suf-
ficent to occupy all his time. If the
ONCE is to be of the importance which
the law makes it no man can afford
to accept it and to faithfully perform
the duties incumbent upon him az
such officer for any such salary as that
set for Mr.. Wood. If he is possessed of
the ability which the position requires
apd is willing to give his work and
time to the duties of the office his pay
ought to be more than twice 800 and
he would earn it TOO.

State Fire Marshal Elliott, of Charles

Wood, of near Rileyville, Page sounty
Virginia, on the charge of setting fire
to the barn of Mr.. c. o. Payne on the

that this boy, who is about II years OF
age came to Mr.. Payne's last spring

his mother was a poor widow with a

found out that they were not the right
stripe and shipped them back to where
they came from. The boy went with
