WEST VIRGINIA IS
SEEKING EVIDENCE
In the Vireinia-West Virginia Debt
case-Every Courtesy Being
Extended.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. S.--Search
ing for new evidence in the long
long standing Virginia-West Virginia
debt case, E. A. Dover, accountant
for the latter state aided by two
assistants, has begun combing
books and records of Virginia,
searching on the question.
Exactly what evidence they are
looking for appears to be something
of a mystery, but it is said that they
will leave no stone unturned 10 as
certain what they desire. They ax-
pect to be at work on the books for
fully week and probably longer.
They began with those of 1860, and
from that point will work down to
more recent dates.
Every courtesy is being extended
them by Governor Mann and other
Virginia officials, including State Ac.
eountant Smith, who has been Iii.

way. -.
According to a decree of the Unit
ed States supreme court West Vii~
G mia has until June, 1914, to perfect
a plan for settlement of the debt. In
event any new evidence of sub
stantial character is discovered it is
presumed that it will be given due
consideration by the court Two or

perts went through the home books

Better Poultry.

The poultry show December "a to
u is one of the things that every
'artinsburg person should feel
proud of. 1t brings birds to our city
from the east, west, north and south
and makes Martinsburg known bet
er throughout the country than any
other business or carnival could pos
'ibly do. 1t also brings numerous
people to our city that would not
come any other way.
The people of Martinsburg should
feel proud of the coming show; they
should patronize it and do all they
can to make it a success. The
schools of our city should bring It
before their pupils as this industry
is one of the most important in the
country. 1t ranks higher than the
whole oat crop of the country over
s3OO000,OOO
The parents should take their chill
dren to the coming show. The young
men and girls should go and become
interested in this great industry
Every family should have their own
flock of layers. 1t is a great thing
to know that you are eating frest
eggs and not cold storage ones.
There is nothing healthier than
fresh eggs. We will not begin TO
say how unhealthy cold storage eggs
are.

reach a distance OF 316.445 miles--14
times the circumference of the earth
To box the entire crop would require
$4,000 packages. These would
require $4,000 freight cars which III
turn would occupy $50 miles of
track. According to the last census.
we have 100000 apple trees of
