The producers of eggs are not re-
ceiving as much for their eggs as they
should, considering the ultimate prices
paid by the consumers of these eggs.
This is not the result of any combina-
ton on the part of buyers to keep down
prices, for competition is usually sharp
enough to cause as much to be paid as
the buyers can afford. The real reason
lies in the fact that the system of mar
keting and buying eggs in this section
is faulty and causes good deal of pre-
ventabie loss and deterioration. This
is mainly because no incentive is of
fered for care and expeditions handling
of the product. In other words, the
careful farmer who markets good eggs
as a rule gets no more for them than
his careful neighbor who markets poor
ones. AS a result of this loss prices
paid to producers must be depressed to
cover it, and this accounts for the differ
ence between the prices paid for these
eggs and the prices charged the con-
sumers.
At first glance it might be thought
that this loss and deterioration was
slight and of minor importance. quite
the contrary, however, is the case. From
a careful study made of the situation, 1t
appears that the annual loss resulting
from these sources in the egg trade of
the country totals about Is per cent Of
the value of the product, or $4,000 600.
In the state Of Kansas alone the annual
loss is estimated at more than $1,000,
600.
Eggs Poorly Marketed.
To explain the reason for this loss
and deterioration it is necessary to out
line briefly the usual method of market
ing eggs in this section.
The eggs, as previously stated, are
produced on the general farm. The
income from these is considerable and
very welcome, but is, after ALL Incl

A sample Of the manner in which
the money paid into the state treas
ury by the tax payers is taken care
of by the State Board of Public Works
is afforded in the case of the Fidelity
Banking and Trust Company at Blue
field, and the loss of a large part of
the States deposits in that bank. 1t
appears from this case that the public
monies of the State have been used,
with apparently litt'- attempt to
safeguard them, for the purpose of as
sisting financial institution in
which at least one member of the
State administration was a stock
holder and which apparently was
badly in need of al the assistance
it could get
On September Is, 1911, the Fidelity
Banking and Trust Company of Blue
field closed its doors and was placed
in the hands Of receiver. At that
time the state of West Virginia was
a depostor in tn bank to the extent
of about $50 600. After more than a
year has elapsed small portion of
tn amount on deposit at the time of
the failure has been repaid to the
State, but more than two-thirds of
the amount on deposit when the bank
failed remain unpaid, and it is be-
lieved that not one cent of this un-
paid amount will ever be realized by
the State
State Treasurer a Stakeholder.
State Treasurer L. l.. Long was a
stakeholder in this bank, owning five
thousand dollars worth of the stock
The actual head of the bank and a
large stockholder in it was S. NJ
Smith, colonel on the Governor
staff, and very close friend of the
present state administration.
The last examination of this bank
prior to its failure was on April 10
1911, and it was made by S. V. Mat
thews, who was then state chairman
of the Republican party for West Vir.
ginia
The law requires that at intervals
of not more than three months the
security given to secure state de-
posts in any bank shall be examined
by the State Board of Public Works
and the sufficiency of the security
shall be passed upon. 1t was evi-
IDENTIFY the intention of the law that
this examination of the security
should be made frequently on account
of the changing values of the bonds

The Board of Public Works at the
time of the banks failure, consisted
OF Governor Glasscock, Auditor Darst,
Treasurer Long, Superintendent of
Schools Shawkey and Attorney Gen
eral Conley. 1t is the duty of this
Board to examine the security for the
deposits in all banks in which the
States money is placed X Every
member of this Board, with the ex
ception of Governor Glasscock, who is
not eligible under the law to succeed
himself, and Attorney General Conley
who is running for another Office, is
a candidate for reelection. If these

Report on DR.. Hatfield

The testimony ulscloses that at the
precinct Of Matewan there was a
total Of 327 votes, of which 237 were
cast by colored men, despite the fact
that the testimony taken on the part
Of the contestant disclosed that there
were but 10 colored voters in the pre-.
cjnct. Conditions had in recent
years become so outrageous at this
precinct that a number of women be-
longing TO the Women's Christian
Union determined to put
a stop TO fraudulent elections there,
and with the finest spirit of Ameri-
can Womanhood repaired TO the poll
ing place at daybreakk and begged
the election officials to see to it that
a fair election was held that day.
Fed From Tubs, Like Hogs.
The evidence further disclosed
that colored men were modified in
several vacant buildings in the pre-
cinCt of Matewan for two or three
days before the election and that
food was carried to them in tubs.
Despite the protest OF the women,
these negroes were shamelessly voted
under the direction of Greenway Hat
field, above referred to. Hatfield
was not a voter in the precinct, and
1t is not apparent, except for the
position which he holds, why he was
directing the election at that place.
The negroes/were given names at the
gate. They then repaired to the
polling place, and in many instances
forgot their names, and to remedy
this defect in the system they were

that Mr.. G. r. Buskirk, a Democratic
