AGAINST STAR
ROUTE SYSTEM
Rural Free Delivery News Says Far.
mers Do Not Want This Bust
ness Let Under Contract.

The farmers of the country are thor.
oughly aroused over the proposed
plan of Congress and the Post office
Department to place all OF the routes
of the rural free delivery service
under the contract system, oe what
is known as the star route mail ser.
vice. Those enjoying the conven-
fences and fruits of rural free de.
livery are alive in their efforts to
thwart, If possible. any action thai
may be proposed in this respect. They
will not give up their present first
class mail service for a poor and I'M
reliable one without a hard fight, and
in this the farmers are already show.
ing marked evidence
While there has been no official an
nouncement made as yet by the Post
office Department or the postal com
mittee of Congress that such a pro
gram is being contemplated IN the
near future, there have been open
statements made by leaders in bota
parties in Congress that the change
is bound to come at time not far
off, for the sake of economy 1t is
estimated that saving of something
over $6.000,000 could be affected an
nually by putting rural free delivery
under the contract system.
Members of Congress who have dis
cussed the subject are OF the belief
that if public sentiment is aroused
against abolishing rural free delivery
efforts toward that direction may be
postponed until the following year, or
possibly longer
Well knowing the great popularity
OF rural free delivery, Congressman
freely declare that the admlnistra
ton could not afford to disregard an
earnest appeal OF the 20.O00,ooo OF
more people who would be materially
affected by any Interference with tbs
rural mail service.
In the various Congressional cam
paigns now under way the proposed
adjustment of rural free delivery is
being made one of the principal is
sues. Farmers are working up to
high pitch of feeling in the matter
and candidates for Congress are be
ing compelled to give their faithful
promise, if elected, that they will use
their personal influence and vote tc
defeat any interference with the pres
ent rural dilivery service. They de
clare their intention 10 keep close
watch on Congressman as to theil
attitude on this proposed legislation
and all pledges unfaithfully kept ars
to be dealt with at the polls.
Those Congressional candidates
who are disposed to treat the subjec
lightly and who will not pledge sup
port this campaign may look for
slump of votes in every rural votinl
precinct this fall The farmers arr
in earnest about this matter. They
feel that their personal interests are
in jeopardy, and will not rest quietly
until the question is positively set
tied. In many sections of the coun
try preparations are being made tt
petition Congress and President Tai
next winter. 1t is expected that these
protests will far exceed in number

brakes, and generally disabled the
locomotive.
Ailiss was brought TO the Pullman
where Wayne was prisoner. First
two Hinto, colored fellows were
brought into the car and in each case
Ailiss was positive it was the wrong
man
He Had Headache.
Then Wayne, scared and trembling
was ushered il. Ailiss complained Of
a headache and said he could not
stand the strain longer. "My head,
my head" he said as he put his
hands to his forehead, and he would
not look at the negro before him.
1t is believed in Hinton that he
knew 1t was the man; that he identi-
fed him, and that at the request of
the authorities. to prevent lynching
he refused to make the Identification.
Mob Was Tricked.
1t was an hour before the moo knew
that it had been tricked and then
the rage of many knew no bounds, but
Infatuated though disorganized rioters
have been walking the streets until
midnight though their quest has been
safe for hours.
Wayne was spirited to safety
shortly before nine o'clock, but at
eleven there were many on the street
who believed he was either IN the
car or hiding some place in Hinton.
Searching parties were kept working.
The mob has been somewhat quieted
at midnight and the only need of the
troops today will be to help bring
back organization and to repair the
work done by the marauders
With troops encamped here, how
ever, the prisoner will be brought
back from his hiding place and taken
either to Fayetteville or Charleston.

WILD ANIMALS ARE
BECOMING EXTINCT
Deer, Bears, Wolves and pantheraS
Used to be Plentiful in West
Virginia.

With the unsettled regions OF West
Virginia becoming rapidly populated
by thousands OF people who are deveI
opng It's riches from the giant forests
OF the mountains to the rich coal that
nnderlays the valleys Of the eastern
portion of the state, the creatures or
the Wild who in years gone by roamed
the wllds of this state are fast hecom-
ing extinct When the tepees of the
Black Hawk Indians were nestled in
the valleys OF this country before the
white men became SO thick, wild ami
mails OF many species were found In
the valleys and mountains. which the
Indians hunted. During recent years
when the animals domain In this state
became very limited they were killed
off and driven to other states, until at
present West Virginia has very few.

Hunters Come.

In the early days of this state
wolves. deer. panthers. bears and
eagles were found and we're hunted by
the early settlers. With the exception
of very few deer in the eastern
mountains these animals have vanish
ed Occasionally an eagle VIII soar
from the mountains of Virginia across
the border, but these occasions are
very few. The Cheat river in former
years was the watering place for these
animals of the wild and they we're
easily hunted by the early settlers I'M
til they were thinned out.
The last wolf was killed few years
ago near what is now Princeton. The
fox rabbit, squirrel and other animals
wore passing rapidly before the mer-
Iciless instinct for shooting Of the
West Virginia hunter until state laws
were passed protecting the game. Had
not these laws been enforced these
animals would have followed the lost
trail of the other animals. Tho eagle
was the only bird OF prey that ever
built its nests among crags OF the
mountains OF this state. They were
hunted by the indian. who decked his
headgear with their beautiful plumes.

Game Breeds Fast.

State Game Warden Viquesney, has
stated that game in this state would
be more plentiful this fall than during
the past ten or twelve years Despite
the long dreary winter, during which
the mercury for week and weeks play
ed around the zero mark, the fox, rab-
bit, squirrel, quail and pheasant win
tered we'll. Mr.. Viquesney announces
that his deputies have enforced the
game laws and that the game has bred
fast this summer Farmers announce
that rabbits have increased by thous-
ands. Hunting will be very plentiful
In this state during the fall and the
nimrods will find plenty OF sport. The
state law specifies that huntere from
other states cannot come to this state
and kill game and then take II out OF
this state. This protects the game
from being slaughtered by the outsid-
err and for this reason the game which
was fast becoming extinct, Is now at
a point where II was half century
ago.

That the mob leaders and the citi-
zens and officers distrusted each other
was evidenced by developments. The
car in which Wayne was placed was
attached to an engine and it was in

FASHIONS

Lighter laces are being used much
more than the Irish this summer.
Most popular in little girls millin-
cry are the mushroom and baby shapes
in straw and linen.
Simple afternoon frocks in blue
check foulard and pink shantung have
dainty lawn collars and cuffs.
Long, close.ftting wristlets Of lace
are worn with costumes for dressy
affairs. ........
Beaded and spangled effects in black
and white and silver and white are
much seen.
Over-draperies of black wolfe and
marqUiset over foundations OF green,
purple, amethyst and bright blue satin
and silk are in high favor.
Many smart hats are made of black
straw, which Is more important and
fashionable than the natural color A
charming novelty is a black straw hat
with immense loops OF black tulle
wired to stand out like a confused
mass of petals at the back.
Buckles made of tiny rosebuds, for
or other flowers are
among the Frenchiest Of the spring
millinery accessories.
Present fashion demands that the
figure be kept in slender lines about
the hips.
Spede, natural kid and patent
leather belts are good with silk, wool
and linen costumes.
Coat lengths vary some, though most
of them are below the hip depth, and
a number have novel vest effects.

Taste ls Localized.

Taste is curiously localized in the
mouth. Put a lump OF sugar on the
tip o. your tongue and you will find IL
distinctly sweet. Then try II halfway
hack on the tongue and you will find
1t tasteless. All sweet or aromatic
substances. such as wine, sugar and
coffee. can be properly appreciated
by the front half OF the tongue,
piece of knowledge that every true
connoissehr applies when he sips In
stead of taking a mouthful. With
most other substances however, the
reverse is true. In these cases the
tip of the tongue serves only for
-toaehiRg--it is the back part that
tastes. The sides of the mouth too
are quite insensible to certain sub
stances not tasteless. Put some salt
or vinegar between the teeth, and the
cheek and you will find them abso-
lutely fiavorless.-From the London
Chronicle.

Slowly said Old Sleepy Eye.
Come on, Drouse-now is our chance!

Round they danced in merry glee--
All as happy as could be.
'Twasn't very long before
Tousel Head was heard to snore,
Then upon the Wings of Night,
He was soon in rapid fight.

And will be there very soon"

Just then Tousel caught Cloud

For ought to make some snowF
Then at last they came TO where
Were great Castles of thin air;
Round and round and round they flew,
Seeing many things quite new;
Lightning Bugs they saw that night,
Chasing round with lamps so bright.
Here we'll see small blades of Grass
Cut up capers as we pass,
Book Worms making great big Books
Hook Worms making little Hooks"
Said Sweet Slumber; twill be fun,
So get busy now and run"
Tousel Head enjoyed the sight
OF the things he saw that night.
