The Standard is Noiseless.

1t makes either the tWo-thread lock-stitch or
single thread chain stitch the same machine.
1t runs far more quietly, decidedly easier and
faster than possible with any other style shuttle.
1t is the fastest sewer, making rs stitches
while others make 100; one third less foot work
and saving of three hours in every seven
1t does not break the thread when run back

1t makes the prettiest and most elastic stitch.
The tension is released automatically when
the presser foot is raised.
The shortest needle used in loCk-stitch ma
chimes, therefore will not bend and skip stitches.

SENATOR Chiffon EXPLAINS.
In Long Speech at Pineyille in
Wyoming County.


OF course his explanation as to his
election to the U. s. Senate will be
received by those who oppose him as
worthless, but to the average think
ing man it will receive due considera-
ton. The Senator takes up the.
leading issues of the day and dis
cusses them squarely and frankly.
There are number Of the leading
citizens of this portion of the State
who are outspoFen in their censure
OF Mr.. Chiffon, but at this time no
one can predict to what extent this
feeling will extend among the masses.
OF course the Republican machine of
the State will continue in their IT,
rade Of abuse and SANDER, but we
presume this will have. but little
weight with the people when It
comes to the real worth of public
servant. Mingo county has the
greatest cause for censure of the
Senator, but still she may forgive
and forget. Mingo county will have
an honest election next time and 1t
will be democratic and that ought to
be glory enough to hamOnize every
thing.

WILLIAMSON SLEEPS.
Only On Occasions Is This Cit

| Our heart smote us, and the brin,
tears of hot remorse coursed adowI
our cheeks, and slashed in large wei
drops on the pea-green stationery We
held in our hands tfour sheets oil
| it,, and caused the purple type-writ.
ten words of vindication to run and
smear and-oh, It was real sad
All these unhappy symptoms were
attendant upon our receipt OF a let
ter-a sure enough righteous-indig-
nation letter, from one OF the brave
and honorable members of the Will
hanson Fire Department The
cause OF this letter was our frivolous
assertion of last week that William
son had all the records when it came
to regular, persistent and thorough
sleeping.
We can only say that we thought
they were sleeping. We now know
that the fire department was wide
awake and right on the job. II our
friend, the night agent at the Nor
folk 4 Western station had only fired
pis pistol five or six times, instead of
twice, all would have been differ
ent, and we would have had the en-
tire Fire Department, new appara-
tus, new uniforms and all, right on
hand. inside of five minutes. AS we
learn now, however, after accom-
pishing two shots, the night agent
fastened to the scene OF the disturb
ance, and began making a noise like
a fire department himself Owing to
efforts OF this practical man and a
few other sturdy souls, the necessity
for the services OF the Fire Depart
ment soon vanished, and SO 1t is Just
as we'll that they did return peace
fully to their sweet slumber.
Our mentor closes his jeremiade
with a few suggestions as to appro-
pirate channels for our activities in
the future. If he will look further
down on the same page on which
appeared the offending article last
week, he will find that we have AL
ready begun two of the causes he
mentions. We will look into the COW
question at an early date.
Seriously, we meant no reflection
upon those who sleep in our city.
Our officials are generally wide-a-
wake and on time when there is any
thing doing. Especially would we
mention the railroad official at the
y. & w. depot, who did such valu-
able service in the instance of the
negress and her little babe, who have
since died, both of them

tries.
West Virginia has an advantage In
the superior quality of coal, but this
is largely discounted by the lack of
local markets and the necessity. un-
der present conditions, at least. or
shipping the product to distant
points. Although beautifully sup
piled by nature with some of the
highest quality OF bituminous coal
and now ranking second among the
coal-producing States (producing
more coal than any country outside
of the United States except Great
Britain and Germany, West Virgin
la ranks twenty-ninth in the value Of
Its manufactures. Probably the larg-
er part of the West Virginia coal con-
sumed within the State is that burn
ed in the locomotives hauling it
away. Moreover, the high quality
coal of West Virginia is the lowest
priced coal in the United States IL
the small mines are left out of con-
sideration there We're only three
counties in the State in which the
average price In 1910 exceeded 81
per ton, and the aggregate output of
these three counties was only little
over 1000, 900 tons-less than per
cent Of the total production. The
general average for the State was 90
cents In 1909 1t was So cents.

EXPLANATION EXPLAINS
AND GRACEFULLY ACCEPTED
We Shall Be More Guarded in the
Future As to Hwo We Refer
to Those Who Sleep.

Not on your life did we intend to
reflect on the good Qualities OF any
body in the city of Williamson--4we
know them all too well. The facts
in the case referred to were so
quickly over that there is no reason
to attach blame to any of the depart
| ments In the city. Really they could
have done no good hal they been
us letter. which we publish. He Is
alright and SO is the fire department
and when we get that new alarm
there can be no more mishaps in
Williamson we hope:
Seriously, the article was wrong
in spiri. because 1t knocked one of
our institutions without cause 1t
says the Fire Department slept.
This is base libel. How does the
writer know that the Fire Depart
ment slept The Fire Alarm signal
has from the early history of the
town been the hiring of five or six
shots in rapid succession. IL you
have not fire arm, you raise your
window and '-holler" FIRE and your
neighbors usually have enough artil-
lery stored away for just such emer-
gencies to begin a fusilade.
Now ! am a member of the Fire
Department and when the first shot
was fired | was right up, with the
second | was starting for my fire
fighting uniform, but there were no
more shots, and no self-respecting
member of the Williamson Fire De-
partment would turn out on two
shots. So | went back to bed.
understand the other members of the
Department acted as ! did.
Now don't jump on our Fire De-
partment. We were only organized
a few months ago. We have never
had blaze" to test our efficiency.
Don't get on us until we do. And
above everything don't get the err
roneous idea that we object to being
called out. Let me whisper you Sc
cert, I'VE are so proud OF our new
outfit that we are almost tempted TO
start fire just to try It out"
Never mind, we will soon have a
new and modern electric Fire Alarm
Signal, and then we can stow the ar
tillery away A FIRE LADDIE.

The city authorities realizing the
urgent need of adequate sewerage
for the property abutting the alley
between Second and Third Avenues
and being without the necessary
funds at the present time, has ar
ranged with John Stroslider, Dave
Brown. Ed. and Ernest Juhling and
Alex Bishop to advance the neces-
sary amount to pomplete this sewer.
These parties hold considerable prop

need of sewerage and they do this
