What Constitutes A Subscriber

A court decIsion has lately been
rendered IN Massachusetts on wha,
constitutes a subscriber The Judge
firmly beliveved that the man who
received the paper. although he never
subscribed for it, is entitled to pay.
James Thompson moved and William
Robinson took immediate possession and
received and accepted weekly news
paper that was delivered to him through
the mails every week The good natured
editor sent accounts frequently. but DO
attention was paid to them by Mr. Robin.
son.
Finally there was day of reckoning.
Robinson had received the paper, for
some time, lie informed the collector.
but he said that he never subscribed and
declined to pay for IT. The Judge
personally questioned the defendant,
who said that he. had read and made use
of it and was receiving the accounts.
which were frequently enclosed in the
paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor of
the newspaper. The judge was severe
in his criticism of people who are
receiving papers and do not think it
worth while to pay for what they receive
and make use of. 1t is an act of dis
honesty. he said. One should acquaiut
the publisher and pay for whatever num-
bers he receives.

State Wants Berkeley Springs.

The celebrated case arising over the
lease of the noted baths at Berkeley
Springs, came up in Martinsburg last
Tuesday, when dispositions were taken
before Assistant Attorney General Lively
of Hinton. who examined a number of
prominent residents of Morgan county.
Prosecuting Attorney ii ID Allen repre-
scented Morgan county and Hon X 7
Barton. of Winchester. represented Mr.
c P Jack. one of the owners of the pre-
sent lease. Col. Forrest w Brown, of
Charles Town. who acquired the halt
interest 10 the lease of the late A r IN
ger. was also present. Messrs Jack and
Unger leased the springs from the State
about nine years ago for a term of so
years. at rental of $500 per annum.
The last few years their prefer of lease
money has been declined by the State
officials. who seek to set aside the lease.
Messrs Jack and Brown contend that the
lease given by the Board OF Public Works
aud trustees and the then governor of
the State cannot be abrogated. They
also say more than $4,000 has been
expended in improvements at the place.
The springs are widely known for their
medicinal value and curative qualities,
and are regarded as rich asset by the
state officials. They are now managed
| by Mr. Charles Hunter.

We wish to call attention to the an
nouncement of the candidacy of MI
William H Wilson, of Charles Town, fol
the nomination for Congress. in another
column of this paper Mr. Wilson is the
eldest son OF the late Hon William L
Wilson, who represented this district in
Congress for so many years with such
distinguished ability. Mr. Wilson is OF
middle age. married man and stands
high in the community in which he has
lived all his life. He inherits many OF
the traits of his distinguished father, is a
brilliant speaker and is well fitted fol-
campaigning. The question of the tar.
if will be the all important issue in the
campaign, and certainly there is not a
man in the district better qualified tc
discuss this great question than Mr. Viii
son, who had exceptional opportunities
for delving into the question under
his fathers instruction. Being from OIL
adjoining county we think Berkeley
county ought to act favorably ol the
candidacy of Mr. Wilson. Martinsbure

felt presentment" of Mr. William II, Will
son, of Jefferson county. who has entered
the lists as Democratic candidate for

trIct. He is the eldest son of the dis
tinguished Hon William L Wilson, who
enjoyed the honor of representing this
District with transcendental ability for
six consecutive terms, and afterwards
served as Postmaster General. This OF
itself would be sufficient recommendation
to the average voter of this District, but
when it transpires that this scion of such
distinguished parentage possesses the
ability of which statesman are composed

average. his candidacy assumes proper
