MANUFACTURING GROWS
FASTER ~ This STATE
y. s. Census Director Says state Has
Splendid Future In Production of
Coal and Gas for Chean Fuel

Washington. June More com
ment has been made from official
source on the fact that West Virginia
is not taking proper advantage Of its
opportunities and advantages to be-
come a great manufacturing State.
Frequent comment has been made on
this condition in reports OF the Geolog-
ical survey, the latest annual report OF
the production Of coal in the United
States commenting freely upon the
fact that so large a part of the natnr.
al wealth OF West Virginia is shipped
out Of the state to enrich manufaetur.
ing communities in other states.
The Census Bureau comments mild
ly on the situation in ne state, in a
bulletin issued today on manufactures
in West Virginia. Tho substance OF
the bulletin has already been printed
so that its figures on the number OF
industries in the State, the number OF
their employees and the value Of their
products are not of special interest
at this time, all having been read in
the state some time ago. However.
this comment seems pertinent. The
official bulletin from the Census Blu
reau says: West Virginia is in gener.
al more mining than a manufactur.
ing State. II is especially wen adapt
ed, however, to the development OF
manufactures"
While the fact that West Virginia
is especially adapted for manufaciur.
ing but that it is not so much of a
manufacturing State as ii is a min
ing State, is brought out in the bulle.
tin, substantial growth of the manu-.
featuring is growing in the State II
is also shown that while in 1869 the
proportion of West Virginia's manu-
features to those of the entire coun-
was but one sixth OF one per cent,
in 1909 it had increased to one eighth
of one per cent
Rapid growth in manufacturing in
the State is Indicated in the last ten
years, the number of manufacturing
enterprises increasing between 1899
and 1909 from 1924 to 2,5S6. The mum
Der of wage earners increased in the
same time from 33,0S0 to 63,s93, The
value of the products Of the manufac-
turing enterprises increased from $67,-
G06, S22 in 1899 TO $161, 949,526 in 1909.
Figures for the manufacturing in
the several cities have been given be-
a.
growth in the period from 1899 to
1904 as compared with the period be-
tween 1904 and 1909 are given In the
latest bulletin, The percentages of
increase in value of products for Hunt
ington and Parkersburg were much
greater from 1904 to 1903 than from
1899 to 1904, while those for Wheeling
and Charleston were greater during
the earlier period.

LARGEST CHECK
FOR INHERITANCE
is Received by the State from Execu-
tors of Col. T. e. Davis
Estate

Charleston, June 5.--The largest in
heritance tax check ever received by
the state of West Virginia is now in
the hands of Fred 0. Blue state tax
commissioner, and is from the estate
of Colonel Thomas e. Davis who died
at Keyser about year ago. The es-
tate after the payment of all indebt-
edness and cost of administration had
a net value of $1,064,973.s5. This was
distributed among nephews and nieces
the states share amounting to $751;
32960. Colonel Davis eatate was re-
puted to be worth many millions, but
it is believed he distributed a large
amount of it during the last few years
previous to his death.
The amount coming to the state has
been expected for some time but be-
fore the payment could be made the
three xecutors, Henry G. Davis, r. b.
Davis, jr,, and w. e. Iieskitt, had to
sign the check.
With the Davis estate check in hand
the present fiscal year for the tax de-
partment which ends August 81, al
ready exceeds any previous year in
the amount Of inheritance taxes col
lected. The amount for the present
year is now above S150,000, with three
months more to go on. The high wat
er mark in revenue from inheritance
taxes up osthe present year was about
$4,000.
Another large check viii come from
Senator Elkins' estate some time dur
ing the present year. although 1t may
not be during the present fiscal year.
The amount of the inheritance and
forfeiture is expected to exceed the
amount received from the Davis es-
tate.
Under the state constitution, Article
IL, Sec. 4, IL is provided that the es-
tates of all persons who die intestate
and without leaving a will. go to the
State of West Virginia. According TO
the officials in the tax commissioners

Thus they become judges of the law

plans in assuming to determine for
themselves the future. In that they
were accustomed to say: To-day or
