Juda. Henry srannon Re,lre..

With the old year a CONSPICUOUS
figure passes In West Virginia court
circles. Henry Brannon, for twenty
four years Judge of the supreme court,
has served longer term than any
other judge OF that tribunal. He has
served two full terms of twelve years
each. He was elected in 1889. No
other Judge has served more than one
full term except Green, who was ap-
pointed TO fill out a vacancy of two
years and thus served fourteen years
on the bench. Johnson. English, Nc.
Whorter, Dent and Green served
twelve years each.
Judge Brannon, the retiring presi-
dent, presided over the court five
years-in 1894, 1898, 1901, 1905 and
1912. Judge McWhorter, Of Charles
ton, was president in 1900, 1903 and
1906. He was elected in 1892 and re
tired in 1908. The supreme cour,
started out in 1863 with three mem.
bers. In 1872 the membership was in
creased to four, and in 1902 it was in.
creased to the present number, five.
Seventeen of the judges that have
been elected to the supreme bench
since 1853 have died and eleven are
living. OF the present judges on the
bench Williams vas elected in 1909
and was president in 1911; Robinson
was elected in 1908 and president in
1910; Miller was elected in 1907 and
was president In 1909. Poffenbarger
enters upon his second term to-mor-
row, and will enter upon his third
term as president.
Other interesting facts about the
supreme court are these: There
have been fourteen Republicans and
fourteen Democrats on the bench,
Judge Brannon being first elected as
Democrat but changed his faith and
was selected as Republican for his
second term.
In 1907 there were three president,
an unprecedented situation. Judge
Cox resigned January %, after serv-
ing one month; Judge Sanders served
to October, then resigned, and Mil.
Ter served for the rest of the year.

Farming Has Been Neglected.

Farming in northern West Virginia
has been seriously interfered with by
the production of oil and gas and has,
to a large extent, been neglected be-
cause the production of oil and gas
and the sale of the coal beneath the
lands have proven more profitable
than farming. AT the same time there
are great opportunities awaiting the
farmers in that part of the state.
These facts and others have been
brought out in report of the soil sur
vey of the Morgantown area made by
the bureau of soils under the depart.
ment of agriculture. The area survey.
ed and included in the report includes
the counties of Marion, Taylor and
Monongalia and contains an area of
100000 acres.
The report deals extensively with
the agricultural conditions and pros

The total production in the state
was not affected more than three or

than made up by activity in other dis
