REVENUE RAIDS.
Pretended They Would Play Allen
Trick on Officers.

Roanoke, Va, Jan. 29.-Repor5s
have been received here OF additional!
revenue raids in Carroll county, which
have been made since the arrest of
Byrd Marion, who is suspected Of hav
ing aided in operating 4 moonsnlne
distillery near his home no; far from
Hillsville.
Revenue officers are reported to have
raided the plant Of Talbert Brothers
in the Fancy Gap section last week.
They destroyed 1000 gallons Of beer
and arrested Noah and Flody Talbert,
who were taken to Hillsvilie, where
they each released on $500 bond for
their appearance at the next term oi
the federal court in Abingdon.
1t is reported that the Talbert dis
ti!lery was in full operation when the
revenue men swooped down upon the
plant and destroyed it, "Mat." Talbert
being one of the alleged moonshiners
"Ilp eSSdpSu
Willis Talbert, another brother, at
tempted the Floyd Allen act, when ne
approached the officers and said: 81
viii be-if l will let MY brothers go
10 jail with revenue officers"
J. P. Hurt, deputy revenue collec-
tor, warned Willis that the officers
were well armed and that it would not
be we'll for him to interfere with chem
ir the performance of their duties. 1t
is believed there would have been blood
shed if Mr.. Hurt had rot acted quickly
il assuring Willis that It would be a
| fight to the finish in case he attempted
to rescue the two brothers under ar
rest from the revenue officers.
1t was several minutes before Willis
could be persuaded to allow his bro
theirs to go with the revenue men. 1t
is noj known whether any charge will
be brought against him when his
brothers are placed on trial in Abing-
don.
Numerous other places were visited
an dthe revenue men only found signs
of operations the stills having been
removed. Deputy Hurt is in Big
Stone Gay today where a number Of
cases will be considered.

"WHAT IS THE BIBLE"
Richmond School Boards Order Raises
Religious Controversy.

Richmond, Jan. 29.-Protests are
being made against resolutions passed
by the City School Board Monday
night directing the principals and tea
cheers to open the daily sessions of the
city schools with readings from the
Old or New Testament.
Yesterday parents of school children
were asking: "What is the Bible?"
Protestants give one answer, Roman
Catholics another and Jews still an
other. 1t has been suggested that the
teachers be directed to read only from
the Psalms, as they are acceptable to
persons of all faiths and beliefs.

Judge Henry Hrannon 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 a 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 APP
pointed to fill out 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 court
started out in 1863 with three mem
bers. In 1872 the membership was in
creased to four, and in 1902 it was i'll
creased to the present number, FIVE.
Seventeen of the judges that havs
been elected to the supreme bench
since 1853 have died and eleven are
living. OF the present judges on the
bench Williams was 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 a Republican for his
second term.
In 1907 there We're 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.

FIFTY Elk FOR This State.

State Game and Fish Warden ]. A.
Viquesney, of West Virginia, who has
an ambition as big as a city hotel to
propagate large game in this state,
and who in March of last year super
intended the purchase and shipment of
a herd of fifteen elk to the lands of
the Allegheny Sportsmens association,
located in Pocahontas county, West
Virginia, and Bath and Highland coun.
ties, Virginia, has just received infor-
nation from the department of the
interior at Washington that his appli-
cation for the capturing of fifty elk
from among the herds owned by the
government and roaming wild in Vel
lowstone National Park, has been
granted, and that the herd will be-
captured and shipped to their destina-
ton in this state on or about January
10th. The information just received
by Warden Viquesney, and which has
had the effect of bringing considerable
qualification to the progressive and
able overseer of the game and fish of
the state, came in letter from the
department of the interior to United
States Senator William e. Chiffon.

NEW VOGUE IN CANDLESTlCKS
Those of Glass or Delicate chinaware
Have Replaced the More Elaborate
Silver Ones.

The newest candlesticks are of iri-
descent glass, and their effect is
charmingly festive, though they are
not so dignified as the handsome, we'll
cared-for silver ones of tradition.
Sometimes these glass candlesticks
have shades of deeper tinted glass
also. Dresden candlesticks that have
long been treasured for their dainty
beauty alone are also being brought
out into action by some smart hos
tesses. Now that we no longer crowd
our tables with flowers these precious
things have chance of being seen to
advantage. They are most effective
when no large tablecloth but only
lace and linen mats are used on a
beautifully polished table. White
candles, unshaded or with white or
pale pink shades, should be used with
them.
The fortunate chatelaine who pos
sesses Canton china is now searching
for candlesticks Of the same ware
and shades painted in water color
with designs to match the china.
The prospective bride, instead of
having set after set of silver candle
sticks, will be delighted to receive
carved ivory ones instead This hint
OF course, is only for wealthy friends
for ivory candlesticks are not cheap.
Shades should be made for them of
thin Oriental silk.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kinesley, Mich-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started In four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched it caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child.
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on SO that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine chance to help her, but
after I washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura ONT
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return Of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely
be SCARED, but 1t Is not" (Signed)

". VA. LAWMAKERS
CONVENED IN REGULAR SESSION
WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK.
Coin Nothing to SoIons Who Failed to
Accomplish Organization at Special
Session--Deadlock Unbroken.

Charleston, w. Va.-Scant encour-
agement is offered, following the adj
journment of the West Virginia legis-
lature, that an organization will be
perfected Immediately, and the first
special session called by Gov. Glass
cock will pass into history with a rec
ord of having failed to accomplish
legal organization.
Even the question of compensation
for the members of the lawmaking
body for the week they have remained
idle does not seem to be of sufficient
Importance to perfect a working agree
ment in the state senate, although the
conference committee are in session.
Following the converting of the two
branches Of the legislature at noon,
when a hurried adjournment was Ia
ken, the conference committees re-
ported back to the respective Demo
crat and Republican halves of the SEN
ate that they were unable to reach
an agreement owing to the demand
made by each party for the president
of the senate,
Speculation is rife over what will
be done at the regular session of the
legislature, which convened on We'd
nesday. The belief is becoming more
prevalent that the deadlock in the
state senate will not be broken until
the arrival of Gov.-elect H. d. Hatfield,
who has been detained at home owing
IN ha nrin of tor
Two years ago, when a deadlock oc-
Cured in the senate, Senator Hatfield
was chosen by the Democratic mem
bers of the upper branch as their
choice for presiding officer. His uni
form fairness in welding the gavel
made him popular among the Demo
cratic senator's, and it is generally be-
lieyed that his influence with the con-
tending senators would materially as
sist in breaking the deadlock.
Candidates for the Watson seat in
the United States senate are seem
ingly undisturbed by the failure of the
legislature to organize, and they con-
tinue to formulate plans for the sena-
toriaI free for all and allow members
of the state senate to continue their
negotiations for a pacific adjustment
of the trouble in the upper body.
The failure of the senate to choose
a president may result in a postpone
ment of senatorial caucus. While
Senator Davis Elkins and Isaac T.
Mann both have declared for an early
caucus, the Progressive forces, led by
Gov. VIM. o. Dawson and William Sey-
mour Edwards, have hesitated about
giving caucus their official sanction
The Democratic members of the
senate are DESTROYS of having the Re-
publican senatorial nominee as quick
ly as possible. When this is accom-
plished they believe the candidate for
senator will use his influence to end
the deadlock even if the presidency
of the senate has to be conceded to
the minority party.

HAVE WIDE CHOICE in COATS
Such a Large and Excellent Variety
from Which to Select.

Certain short drsped coats of sup
pie fur rounding away in the front are
launched by extremists, who are push
ing the pegtop silhouette, but they are
by no means graceful even for the
slender woman, and are not likely to
be taken seriously by the women in
this country
Some Russian coats of half length
or longer button up the left front,
close on the left shoulder, and have
high, close collars finished at the top
by narrow band of contrasting fur.
A model of this type usually is loosely
belted or girdled across the back, if
not all around, and the model, while
good-looking If well worn, Is becoming
only to the exceptional woman.
Many of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater convenience
In the wearing of separate neck furs.
Innings are often of the handsome
1rocades, and in some of the most
luxurious garments these Innings are
SO rich In themselves that they add
greatly to the cost of the coat.

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last. Experience at
Millinery Store, Was Alto
pethes Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss of In
diana did not care much for a hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs Moss admitted that it was plain.
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought hat.
Il can certainly pick out better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not a word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tifui bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one OF
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock Mrs. Moss looked well in
it. She was pleased.
'I'll take that" said the Hoosier
congressman. How much is it?"
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even blink
Mr.. Moss saw blue stars, but luck
lily had just come from the bank
and was able to produce that much
in cash. Now he lets Mrs. Moss buy
her own hats and he does not COM
plain about their being plain.-Judge>

kniohts of the Bath.

The revival at the abbey of the
ceremonies in connection with the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath re-
minds US that until the reign of
Charles II. the creation of the Knight
of the Bath was a somewhat trying
ordeal. He was conducted to a cham
Der at the Tower OK London, where
a bath was prepared, into which he
was plunged. He then resumed his
clothes, with hermit's hood of russell
cloth, and thus attired kept his vigil
until daybreak, when he snatched
brief rest. And in the morning, hab-
tied in costly robes, he rode to the
court, where he received the sword and
spurs and was dubbed a Knight of
the Bath by the king. For he had
taken bath--a courageous act in the
fifteenth century.-London Chronicle.
