An Excellent Entertainment.

In the rush and hurry OF last
week the NEWS neglected to no
tice one OF best entertainments of
the kind ever presented by the Sun
day school of the Louisa Baptist
church. 1t was the annual obesr-
yation OF Children's Day, and from
Invocation to dismissal 1t was de-
ligghtful occasion. 1t was a chill
dren's affair, with but little If any,
aid from their elders, and the var
led programme was successfully de-
signed to present them to the aud
ience IN way which represented the
day and what 1t was intended for.
The participants in the unusually
interesting exercises showed the re-
suit OF careful and intelligent train
ing, saying and doing in very
pleasing way what they had been
taught to do and say. The NEWS
rerrains from making any indivi-
dual mention OF the children. AL
did well. and to. make comparisons
would be unfair to those not men
toned by name.
The final number was panto'
mimic presentation by several girls
of Nearer, My God, To Thee" and
was a most beautiful and effective
rendering of that litany of the
soul. The words Of the hymn were
sweetly sung by Mrs. w. d. Pierce
Of this city.

TWO-CENT Fare.
United States Supreme Court Uph0Ids
I West Virginia Law.

The decision in the two-cent rate
case has been awaited with great
interest throughout the section of
West Virginia traversed by the lines
Of the Chesapeake & Ohios and other
lines which have been charging fare
in excess of two cents per mile un-
der the protection of temporary in
functions since the law went into
effect in 1911. Under the original
court ruling, that of Judge Burdette
OF the circuit court of Kanawha
county, the railroad was ordered to
issue coupons providing for hte re-
payment Of the excess charge in
case the two cent law be sustain
ed. Thousands of dollars worth of
these coupons are held by travellers,
| speculators and others.
What preparation has been made
for the meeting of the situation by
the Chesapeake & Ohio is not known
but it is not considered likely that,
under the circumstances. the COM
pany will be seriously embarrassed.
The Chesapeake & Ohio, through
its attorneys, started the fight on
the two cent law after it had been
| in effect only few months. An
| injunction order was issued prohib-
iting the attorney general Of West
