ID KEEP PRISONERS IN THE COUNTY JAIL Walker County Commission CTS Take Up the Matter
 With Governor

Jasper, December 1T.--(Special) )-The board of county commissioners of Wal ker county has taken up the question of moving prisoners with Governor o'Neal. pr. w. H. Oates ordered the sheriff to have the negro prisoners moved to the jail at Florence by the goth of this month This, in the opin- ion of the county commissioners, would necessitate a great expense as many of the prisoners are in jail for minor of lenses and will have to be tried in the court before long. In case they are . moved to Florence. which is 90 miles away, 1t would make transportation eX- penses rather heavy for the county.

 In discharging Dowd. Judge Ander- son said:
  so much better and so much more to his credit. I think I may believe him. He was asked questions and he an- swered them frankly. It was not nac- essary to use tongs, pinchers and ham, mer to compel him to obey the orders of the court. The letters Dowd wrote, which, it has been charged, brought him into the conspiracy, are all sus- ceptible of an innocent interpretation. Concerning motions for the dismissal of other defendants, Judge Anderson ] stated that before the defense began its case he felt inclined. to discharge certain defendants. but that through "the attitude of the defense's witnesses on the stand' he had changed his mind. Four days on each side was fixed for the argument which will begin to- morrow. The defendants who did not testify in their own behalf were:

Report of Secretary for Year Gives Details
 of Work

In the annual report of the score tary of the charity committee of the board Of trade, there is much food for thought Only by a study of the annual resume of the work accom- plished by this body can the result obtained through it by the community be appreciated With a minimum of publicity given only when help was needed of its patrons, the committee shows a creditable record for the year of 1911, and those who have aid ed in making this good work possi- ble will be interested in the report
 What are the ordinary causes or poverty, is question that one might answer from the report, for it shows that of l29 new cases, one half Of the cases of distress were caused by lack of employment. d class most worthy of aid Forty of the cases in volved Illness and accident. while the others were followed Ey misfor- tune in the guise of bad manage ment and dissipation.
 Year Proves Busy

Eleven hundred articles of clothing and 145 pairs of shoes were disbursed to worthy applicants. and $1,437.05 in cash was disbursed An encouraging feature of the work was the fact that S200 was refunded to the committee by those who had been helped to their feet, so that this amount of money did double duty in relieving distress.

road Is bad the horse has a distinct
advantage over the power-driven We
hicle. OF course all roads should be
made good and kept good. and very
important result of the general use
OF tho power-driven vehicles will be
the great Improvement in building and
maintaining permanent roads
So the old fogy fellows who stick
to the horse WILL. of course, derive
material benefit from the fact that SO
many power vehicles are coming into
use. But the number OF machine
vehicles Is going to increase all the
time. and some sort OF plan Is going
to be worked out that will enable
power-driven vehicles and nipple
ments also, to become far more gen.
eral.
There are, without question, come
strong inducements to use power
vehicles wherever they can be used
and 1t may be that in time methods
of cultivation may be modified In
such way that almost all work done
by horse power can be done by the
machine. But will 1t be economical?
The Progressive West Virginian. [volume] (Williamson, W. Va.) 1911-1913, 1912-09-26

VIII 1t cost less to run a machin,
than to feed horses? Will the machin
stand as much work as the horse?
Is there any collateral gain In
value, as Is the case when mares ar
used and bred and raise colts? l once
had neighbor who had an old mare
for his own personal use that he had
gotten fifteen colts from, and
though they were only good farm
stock and not Of very high quality,
they averaged in selling price at four
years hundred and fifty dollars
each. 1t is doubtful II machine
costing many times the value of the
mare could have been Of as much
real worth TO the owner as the old
mare was. and | doubt very much
whether the auto could have rendered
services so long.
But the question of replacing horse
drawn vehicles and implements by
power implements involves more than
the mere utility OF the method. SO
| long as crops have to be grown to
! feed mankind we shall be obliged to
do something to maintain the produc-
tiveness OF the soil. Can we do that as
well when there is no live stock on
/ the farm to produce manure?
| Or can we possibly maintain the
soil when year after year crops are
taken off II we do not have live stock
to consume the surplus and make ma.
nure? And, can we possibly devise
any implements that will be adapted
to use for all sorts of farm crops? We
may use level land on power tractor
with gang of plowg, and also do the
narrowing the same way; but can we
cultivate crops Of corn, tobacco and
all the other hand crops II we have
no power that can follow the ups and
| downs OF the fields, and follow the
curves of the burrows that conform to
/ the lay OF the land on rolling
ground?
suspect that under the most favor
able conditions tho tractor used on
the farm can only servo to pillow and
harrow land that lies suitably for the
purpose; but that the planting and
cultivating will have to be done with
horse power as heretofore. So II
seems on the face of it that there are
many limitations upon power tract
ors as farm implements.
In this view OF the case It is safe to
conclude that under any circum-
stances there must be good many
horses raised both for farmer use and
the personal use Of people who like
the horse as riding and driving ami.
NAL
i OF course. where roads are fairly
level, and kept in good condition,
power vehicles surpass the horse In

comotion; but we who have owned
and lived among horses always and
who like living things better than ma.
chimes will always have personal
preference for the living animal. And
II there continues a demand Tor
horses, OF course the raising will con.
tinue to be profitable branch OF
farming.

MY type of new woman has a high
sense OF honor, a manly sense of hon
or. She isn't Nike certain old-fash-

honorable things without the least mo-

"A woman OF this type was play

make to her. and she made it dia-
rnonds; but >her hand, on being put
down, was found to contain only two
diamonds, both very low cards.
