THE KING LOG DRAG.
Used by City Of Greenwood-Does
Good W0rk-WOuld Do Good
Work in NeWberry.

The Herald and News has very fre-
ouently called attention of the King
road drag and urged it's use. 1t has
the endorsement Of government ofh-
cials in connection with the road de-
partment Of the government. 1t is
inexpensive In manufacture and cost
little to operate, and experience has
taught that it does more efficient
work than higher priced road ma
chinery. ~ :H~; !4s';'''' y tSsAs't
Sometime ago a representative OF
The Herald and News was in Green
wood and had the pleasure Of listen
ing to talk on the use OF this drag
by Mr.. Winfield Thorne, who also ex-
hibited a. model showing the con-
struction of the drag. & '!.>'' sAS
Mr.. Winslow, of the good roads de-
partment, was in Newberry some
time ago and stated that the log drag
was far superior to the steel drag
and Mr.. Winslow explained to MI.
Miller, who is in charge Of the coun- !
ty chaingang, the advantage of the
log drag over, a steel drag.
It is difficult sometimes to get reo-
pie to use anything that is so SIM
pie and so inexpensive as the log
drag, but experience Of other places
is that once this drag has been used
it's use is continued.
The road known as the steel bridge,
road from Prosperity has had the
drag used on it and it is now prob
ably one of the best roads in the
county. ~t~.
These drags are now also being u.s.
ed on the streets of some of our ci-
ties where those streets are not maca-
damized or laid in other street paw
ing. ." 49,.
Mr.. Winfield Thorne, mentioned
above, was in Newberry this week,
and in talking about this King road
drag he stated that in Greenwood on
ly recently they had two Of these
simple and inexpensive implements
for use on the dirt streets. Mr..
Thorne is an enthusiast on the sub
ject Of good roads as every good cit
izen ought to be. He says that these
drags were put on the streets immed-
lately after the heavy rains Of last
week and Notwithstanding the street
ruts caused by heavy teams, every
mire was put in good condition in
two days.
Mr.. Thorne added that after this
practical experience the city of
Greenwood is decidedly Of the opin-
ion that one team and the King drag
would do more work than three teams
and an expensive machine. Mr..
Thorne further stated that the next
day after these drags had been run
over the dirt streets in Greenwood
that you could travel over them with
out receiving a jolt as the streets
were left smooth and even.
It would be a good work if the
chamber of commerce would furnish
a drag to any community in the
county with the guarantee that it
would be used on the roads after
each rain. The beauty about that is
that the time to use the drag is when
the roads are wet and usually when
il is too wet to work on the farm
And how about putting them On the
dirt street of Newberry? It would =,
cost but little ond would do good
work.

THE MUNICIPAL CODE
Glasscock Nov Has Code Prepared BY
Municipal Code Commission For
His Inspection and Approval.

Charleston, April %. - Governor
William e. Glasscock now has in his
hands for inspection and approval,
the code prepared by the municipal
code commission, fixing a uniform
form of government for the cities and
towns OF West Virginia. The code
was submitted to the Governor Wed
nesday by Capt. E. E. Hood. who is
the secretary of the commission. and
the report of the commission is 10
fellow.
The new code is the result of
months of labor by the -nunicipal
code commission, consisting of e. r.
Kingsley. chairman, George 1. Neal
and T. H. Bishop, members, and Cant.
e. E. Hood, secretary. The commits
sion was authorized by a joint resolu-
ton passed at the 1909 session of the
Legislature.
Before the final draft of the code
was made the members of the com-
mission conferred with some of the
leading citizens of the State and net
in several of the principal cities and
received the opinions of the munich
pal authorities and others who have
been interested in municipal govern
ment. Valuable aid was also rend-
cred by the National League of Amer
lean municipalities.
AS the work of the commission
has progressed the sentiment for the
enactment of a uniform municipal
code for the government of West
Virginia cities, towns and villages
has become more manifest and it is
believed that the code will be gener-
ally satisfactory to the members Of
the next Legislature.
The municipal code is designed
with the intent of saving much time
to the Legislature. For years the
Legislature has consumed the greater
part of it's time in listening to dis
cussions i've charters for West Vir-
ginia towns and as a usual result,
there was little time left for general
legislation. The enactment of a
municipal code will put the cities in
the same class and thereby end the
frequent amendments made to char
tiers OF municipal corporations.
1t has been the purpose of the
commission to keep the Governor
advised of their plans and the
has been very thoroughly dis
Gus ed with the executive. AS soon
the code was completed the copy
was submitted to the Governor 20
that he may %acquaint himself with
the final draft and the commission
will soon complete their report to the
Governor and the Legislature.

Loss in Kentucky, Tennessee. the

so heavy, as the storms only devas.
tated portions of them. In the esti.
mates no account lis taken of the per-
nanent crippling of young trees and
the destruction partial or complete of
vines and plants.
Novel methods We're taken in many
districts to save the strawberry and
vegetable crops. People stripped their
beds of blankets, employed table
linen and everything else they could
find to cover the gardens and vines.
Damp straw, tar smudges and any
thing else that would create heavy
smoke were burned in the orchards
and gardens to check the frost.
Owing to the unusually warm
March and April, all fruit and vege-
table crops We're at least a month in
advance and in most places there is
no chance for a second crop.

Mistake?

The fire plug at the North Queen
street crossing that refused to work
at the box car fire there Friday night,
was examined today and the valve
removed to find out what was the
matter with it. The plug is alright
but it looks as though the firemen
had turned the cap to the left in
stead of the right and thus only made
it tighter. If such is the case 10
wonder they couldn't open the plug.

DRY SUNDAY IN NEW YORK.
But Men Who Knew The Ropes Could
Get a Drink.

New York. April 25.-This city was
"drier" yesterday than IN any Sunday
since Mayor Gaynor took office, but
any we'll informed citizen with a
thirst could satisfy it, if he went
about it the right way. All saloon
keepers were exceedingly cautious
and lived up to the letter of Mayor
Gaynor's order that all bars must be
exposed; but back rooms and in some
instances the owners apartments over
his saloon did a thriving business. No
GROWER trade was allowed and no
lettering. Customers were required
to leave as soon as they had drunk
their beverages, and nc strangers
were admitted.

Post Office Gets More Convictions.

James n. Huston and Harvey NJ.
Lewis of Cincinnati, and Everett Du
Four of Washington, on Tuesday were
convicted by a jury in the criminal
court of Washington, D. c., on indict-
ments charging them with using the
mails for fraudulent purposes in con-
nection with the operations of the Ma
tional Trust company and other con-
Germs.
The men were indicted on January
3 by the federal grand jury after a
raid on the offices of the National
Trust company, which was incorporat-
ed in Delaware with a capital of ST.
100000, and, it is alleged, guaranteed
the stock of other companies on a
commission basis. The inspectors de-
clared that they failed to find funds
to justify the promised-guarantees.
Huston was treasurer of the Unit
ed States from 1889 to 1891.
