A Letter from James Fluharty.
Turley, Okla, 3-29-1912.

Turley, Okla, 3-29-1912.
To My Friends, and Readers of
the Chronicle, of Calhoun coun-
ty, West Va:
will write a short sketch of
my trip to the Western State of
Oklahoma. Left West Virginia
on the 10Th of March; arrived at
Turley on the 22nd. Had a very
pleasant trip. Coming through
Illinois l saw nearly SO miles of
land covered with water. 1t has
been raining quite a bit since
arrived here, but the sun is shin
ing bright and warm today, like
the good old summer time. l
like this country fine so far, al
though haven't been here long
enough to tell much about it.
There is quite a bit of work
going on here, mostly oil field
work. Wages are good. The
Barnesdale Oil Co. has most of
the country leased around where
| am situated.
l am shantying with my friend
Rufus Snider, from West Virgin
ia. We are having a jolly good
time. There are several boys
here from w. Va. We are situa-
ted 8 miles West of Turley, a
small town, and 6 miles North IF
Tulsa, which is a pretty large
town, the inhabitants numbering
forty some thousand.
The people here claim that the
winter just past was the coolest
ever known in this State.
Mr.. Charley Campbell has
charge of the lease here where l
am, for the Barnsdale Company.
He is we'll thought of by all his
men.
There are something like one
hundred and fifty producing wells
on the lease that Mr.. Campbell
has charge of, and they run on it
three strings of cleaning out
tools, and, at present, only two
strings of drilling tools. They
only drill from twelve to fourteen
hundred feet here.
If this don't reach the waste
basket l may come again. Wish
ing everybody success, | am,
A West Virginia boy,

Heart Helps and Beauty Hints.

Have you missed me girls
Well, Laura Jean and Lillian
were so jealous that they made
me quit until | joined the Help
er's Union. l am now a Union

and will stick along. Amt you
glad, girls?
Today | want to point cut the
dangers which we girls face
when we are not properly intro
duced to fellows. A man sued
his wife for divorce last week and
stated that he didn't know her
first name. Always make sure
that you know a fellow before
you accept his hand in marriage.
Heaven will protect US working
girls, but we should keep our
powder dry.
Mamie: Even if you did pick
your nose with your fingers he
should not have thrown you ov, r.
He was no gentleman.
Winnie: Try corn starch as a
powder. 1t may be the talcum
that enters your pores and max s
you thin.
Agnes: No; do not tell him
anything. If he loves you he
will not mind you wearing bust
forms. And after he marries
you what is he going to Go about
it?
Carrie: 1t all depends on
where you are. Six glasses of
beer are the limit at ball in the
Sinton, while 81 may De absorbed

ner.
Maggie: No; if he won't love
you with a rcd mead he won love
you If you turn it to spun gold.
Wear something over your hair
and if you CUFF him enough he
will fall.
Sunshine: Yes; we know that
US shop girls have to stand a lot.
If, as you say, he is a millionaire
his intentions are not honorable.
Spurn him next time he offers to
escort you to a nickelshow. 1t is
better to accompany an honorable
buttonhole maker than TO enter
tain a scheming millionaire. Re

Sister Slushslinger:
Girl works so hard to bland a guy,
And never stops to think
Is he on the level, or does he lie,
Or is he an honorable gink?"

Senator Bob Taylor is Dead.

Robert Love Taylor, Senior
Senator from Tennessee, died
Sunday of last week at
Washington, from the shock of
an operation for gall stones, per-
formed the previous Thursday.
Early in the morning the sena-
tor began to fail to respond to
stimulants. Mrs. Taylor worn
out by a day and nights vigil,
had gone to her apartments. At
3 o'clock in the morning the SEN
ator began to sink so rapidly
that she was sent for. She was
at his side when the end came at
$40 o'clock.
"Flddling Bob" Taylor, so
known because he played his
way into the hearts of his audi
ences carrying his violin wher-
ever he campaigned, was 81 years
old, born at Happy Valley in
Eastern Tennessee, but spent
most of his life at Nashville
practicing law.
He belonged to an ohice-hold-
ing family. His father was a
representative in congress and
active in Indian affairs ard an
uncle was in the Confederate
senate. Once pension agent al
Knoxville, three times governor
of Tennessee, Senator Taylor
forged his way to the nationa
house Of representatives from
the same congressional district
that had previously sent his faith
er to congress and later his
brother, Alfred A. Taylor, whom
he subsequently defeated fol
governor.
Senator Taylor was a CLEVELAND
Democrat. He had served il

The UniqneneSS Of West Virginia

West Virginia, with 1913 per
cent of its population born of
American parentage, heads the
list of states in this regard. A
West Virginian writing to the
New York Evening Post enumer-
ates many other points in which
this state is unique. 1t is the
youngest state east of the Ms
sissippi. 1t is the only state
with two "pan-handles." it is
the most Republican of the Dem
ocratic states and the most Dem
d. ocratic Of the Republican stf ties.
The writer continues
Financially it is by all odds
the richest of the poor states,
and the poorest Of the rich states.
That is to say West Virg MIA,
despite its literally enor1 nous
wealth in coal, coke, gas oil, and
so on, is taxing its people less
for the support of public ms titu.
tons than any other state il the
Union but one. Well, it doesn't
take much mental arithmetic t.
see where such things as the
State University are coming out
berhat being the case. And, geo

The Income Tax.

1t remains for the senate t,
decide whether the income tai
bill passed by the house shall be
come a law. The house passed
the bill by a large majority, al
of the democrats and seventy
nine republicans voting for it
and it is believed the measur,
will find similar favor in the sen
ate.
The income tax bill is design
ed to provide revenue to take
the place of that which will be
lost if the import duties are re-
moved from sugar and to shift
the burden Of taxation to some
extent from people Of small in.
comes to the well-to-do. If the
bill becomes a law it will levy 8
tax of one per cent on the sur
plus of all incomes over $4,000 a
year and is expected to produce
a revenue of approximately sixty
millions year, and to that ex-
tent operate as an equalizer of
taxation.
If all property paid it's due
proportion of taxes it would not
be necessary to resort to expedi-
ents of this sort to equalize the
burden of maintaining the gov
eminent in its various branches,
but the difficulty of locating tax
able property sequestered for
the purpose of avoiding asses
ments is so great that it has
been almost abandoned as hope
less.
So it is proposed to go about it
in another way by levying a tax
upon incomes in excess of So, 900
and means are provided by which
those enjoying such incomes may
be identified and the amount of
their liability ascertained. No
hardship will be entailed by a
law of this kind. An income of
So, 900 will be free of taxation,
but those receiving more than
that sum must pay one per cent
on the excess.
The tax will be required only
from those who can we'll afford to
pay it. If a man has an income
of Sc, 600 a year he will pay $40
income tax, if he receives 81, 5000
he must pay $25, if he receives
$40, 600 he must pay $50. Though
small individually, the large
number of persons in the United
States who enjoy incomes of
more than $4,000 will make the
aggregate large, as indicated by
the congressional estimate. -Ad-
VertiSer.

Married Il Years.

Many interesting and unusual
conditions exist in some Of the
interior counties of this state
says the Charleston Mail. For
instance, a local travelling man
while in Nicholas county the 9TH
er day had the pleasure of re-
naming over night at the home
of couple who have been mar
ried for IL years. The husband
is 81 years of age and the wife is
one year his senior. They are
Mr.. and Mrs. Hezekiah Daniels.
They live near Devils Den"
but their home is a happy one
and the venerable pair live hap
PLY just as they did when they
were welded in 1910. 1t was
only a few days ago that Mr..
Daniels walked to Clay, a dis
lance of "a miles. One of his
sons was there and went home
horseback. The father, on foot,
beat his offspring home by over
a half hour.

Sunday Establishes New Record.

While thousands waved hand
kerchiefs and thousands wept,
Billy Sunday, famous evangelist
and ex-baseball player, closed his
six week revival in Wheeling
Sunday night of last week and
established two new records
the one for number of CONVEX
sions and the other for the size
of the voluntary offering collect
ed.
The records of converts stood
at 8, 437, which by over a tEous-
and beat all previous records es-
tablished by Sunday himself in
evangelism. The previous high
record he made at Toledo, Ohio,
where approximately seven thou
sand were converted. Sunday
declared himself overwhelmed by
his Wheeling triumph, and stood
with handkerchief to his eyes
while his vast audience, thous-
ands of whom could not get into
the tabernacle, sobbed cor vul-
sively. The windows had been
taken out of the great taber-
nacle that the thousands who
could not gain admission might
hear and see as best they could.
The free will offering to Sun
day at the close of his six weeks
was the largest sum ever re-
ceived by him and without doubt
the largest sum ever similarly
received by any evangelist. 1t
was SIT, 900. Money poured in
from all sides; from purses made
up by outside communities as
well as from individuals and So
cieties and other organizations in
Wheeling. Bridgeport cont ibu-
ted, of this, a thousand, and
Martins Ferry and other nearby
towns gave large sums.
Declaring that the first open
date that he could find he would
come to Parkersburg for revi-
lyal Sunday in his closing adj
rress declared that he hoped he
.uould soon find an opportunity
visit that city and to conduct
a extended campaign. He said
Ut his dates for two years were
ZEN but that he would find
Wy of shifting the program in
o1er that he might convert both
arkersburg and Huntington.
ie will also visit Parkersburg
Z ext October or November when,
n special car he will tour the
tI2te in a campaign against
ieaooze."
WgOuring the last two weeks of
Sp prohibition fight next fall
1,1nday will campaign the state
IN chartered train and deliver
lectures in every city. He made
the announcement calmly and
unmoved.
The word had hardly fallen
from his lips until 10000 people
broke out in wild cheers. For
three minutes the roaring con-
tinued and thousands Of h; nd
kerchiefs were waved in chau-
hauqua salute.
