John ". Davis May be Solicitor
General

Washington, July 3.-It is
learned on high authority that
the President is seriously consid-
ering the offer of the appoint
ment of Solicitor General of the
United States to Congressman
John w. Davis, of the FIRST West
Virginia district. According to
information, the President has
two men in mind, Mr.. Davis and
Congressman Swagar, Of Ken
lucky. The President has been
most favorobly impressed with
the reports on Mr.. Davis legal
attainments. The West Virgin
ian came near landing the Fourth
Federal judgeship, and it is be-
lieved that had not the President
desired to honor his friend.
Judge Woods, of South Carolina.
Mr.. Davis would have been the
man selected for Senator COTS

Mr.. Bullitt resigned last April.

have been some events and hap
penings in this immediate vicini.
ty in which our people were
deeply concerned naturally anC
spiritually which events will no.
only be recorded in our failing
earthly memory but correctly
and everlastingly recorded BY
the recording angel in the great
beyond when the books shall be
opened which record will have
great bearing on our future and
eternal destiny. Some of the
events we were impressed with
briefly stated are as follows: -
At the Rush Run Baptist church
on the 18th and 10Th days of
June was held the Ministers,
Deacons and Members meeting.
There being present people from
a distance around, old and young
and notably only a few of the
older remaining ministers and
soldiers of our Lord and Master
who still give out the true silver
trumpet sounds Of warning in all
the subjects discussed to which
we the younger ministers men,
bers and all will do we'll to give
More earnest heed without cast
ing them aside as too old, plain
and unpopular for the supposed
modern latter day advancement
ruled by money, pride, great
names and honor to be heard and
seen of men following every
wind of doctrine for popularity
etc. And in the midst of this
meeting was an event and voice
which impressed US most, even
a solemn warning from the tomb
itself, when on Sunday our old
brother, Uncle Ward Stalnaker,
a member of our church, who
had been but a few months ago
buried with Christ in baptism in
a helpless condition bodily, was
now wheeled into this meeting
by the undertaken, our old pas
tor who had baptised him holding
his funeral service and stated
that upon that occasion while he
was being carried to the water
he said to him that he was fol-
lowing the foot steps of Christ.
The pastor further stated as is
well known, our deceased brother
had no certain abiding place here
on earth but now hath an abid-
ing place in the paradise of God.
The circumstances surrounding
this old brothers life and death
speaks with a voice that cannot
be uttered with tongue or pen
and an admonitIon for our veal
or woe. And according to
brother Stalnaker's desire he was
laid to rest in the N. M. Bennett
burying ground near the church
the program of the meeting be-
ing resumed in the afternoon
there were two able sermons
closing with parting hand in
which the holy spirit was evil
dent. Oh for more faith and
hope instead of distrust and
backbiting, for the praise of his
blessed name is our feeble peti-
ton.

British War Office Victim of

Subsequent inquiries which I have
made show how he obtained the money.
and that brings me to his alleged inven-
ton. He first got in touch with two
young men who lent him $4,000 on the
strength OF the story Of his wonderful
wireless device and of his wish to make
further experiments He was also
promised $4,000 for one-third share Of
his invention when it was perfected.
Shortly after this Gray got In touch
with the War Office, and finally. in re-

ised demonstrations without further
