Traction Engines Cannot Use Roads.

Judge Henderson in the circuit court
of Allegany. in an opinion made per-
petual the injunction in the case of
Road Directors of Allegany county
versus Harry William Yonkers, the
State Road Commission, versus Harry
William Yorker. The court ordered
the costs in both cases to be borne by
the complainant. By agreement of
counsel the cases were tried together.
They involve the right to enjoin the
use of traction engine on the county
improved roads in the first case and on
State road in the other. The proof
showed that the engine and it's train
load as used produced more than an
ordinary amount of wear and tear on
the roads.
Judge Henderson directs attention
not only to traction engines, but the
heavy motor trucks, carrying from
five to ten tons seriously Injuries the
road, travelling at 20 to 35 miles an
hour. Also the touring car travelling
from 40 to 60 miles an hour along these
improved roads tears up the roads thai

oats will commence the last of this
week. both are above the average; hay
was fairly good crop, some corn is
very good and coming in tassels. Our
daughter Ada, from Lanark, Ill.,, and
our son Milton and family from Meyers

GARRETT COUNTY iGRI-
CULTURAL EXHIBIT.
Great Preparations Being Made for
the Fair OF 1914.

The Republican is pleased to announce
chat the management of the Garrett
county fair is busy planning for a sue
cessful 1914 fair. The large frame
building this year will be given en-
tirely to exhibits. The first floor will
be the poultry department, better
eqipped and with an enlarged and
splendid EXHIBIT of prize birds from all
over the county. The indication are
that this departments, will be one of
much interest.
The second floor will be the fruit,
grain and vegetable exhibit From all
over the county comes word that prep
arations are being made for a splen-
did display on this line. The compe-
ton will be great and the exhibits will
be large.
On the third floor will be found the
womens department. This depart
ment will be unusually interesting and
in advance of that of 1913. TIE ladies'
are at work preparing for a charming
exhibit
The booths will be on the second and
third floors. Already has space been
reserved. Several merchants will
have double the space they used last
year. These booths will be tastefully
and artistically decorated.
There will be music all through the
fair days, by one of the best bands in
the State. The contract has not been
closed, but it is hoped to secure a band
of go pieces.
The amusements this year will be
most enjoyable and interesting. Ba-
loon ascensions daily, with four-para-
chute droop, by an experinced perform
er, There will be big Ferris wheel.
Everybody can take ride. There will
be no end to merrymaking. Last year
was an experiment, this year is to be
a success, great big success.
The horse, cattle, sheep and hog ex-
hibit will be an exhibition of what
Garrett county is doing in the live
stock business. You may expect a
surprise in this department. Additional
buildings have been erected to shelter
the stock.
A member of THE REPUBLICAN staff
has been interviewing stockmen,
gardeners and farmers from all over the
county about exhibits for the fair and
finds general determination among
these gentlemen to be prize winners.
| They are enthusiastic over the pros
poets and are preparing to make good
exhibits. This leads US to believe that
the fair of 1914 is going to be magnif-
icient exhibition of the resources and
capabilities of this mountain county and
that it will attract the greatest num-
Der of people ever seen in Oakland.

What the Parcel Post Does.

A country store keeper in West
Virginia is also postmaster. The post
Office is worth about 500 dollars a year.
He sold four barrels of flour recently
to grocer at Berkley Springs, W. Va,
and shipped the flour in sacks, from his
store by parcel post to the purchaser,
at a cost of $l1.69 in stamps. The so
sacks were hauled eight miles by a R..
F. D. carrier and Is miles by train
Fourth class postmasters are allowed
the cancellations up to $50, so this
store keeper will have this Sll, SO post
age paid back to him, which will add
largely to his profits on that sale The
parcel post will be valuable asset to
the country storekeepers who are post
masters.

WHISKEY SHIPMENT IN COURT
Drastic Ruling On Shipments 70
Liquor Into West VIRGINIA.

Charleston, W. Va, Circuit Judge
Samuel Littlepage granted an injunc-
ton returnable at the August rules
against R. H. Clendennin, the. Adams
Express Company, its agents and rep
resentatives and Edward Beigel, from
delivering to Clendennin a barrel of
beer shipped by Edward Beigel. repre-
senting the Pabst Brewing Company
of Cincinnati. on the ground that it
was violation of prohibition laws of
West Virginia. Clendennln ordered
the beer on blanks mailed by Belgie
from Cincinnati. The Injunction was
asked for by Fred. o. Blue, commits
| sioner of prohibition. The Injunction
requires 1.-The consignee of any such
liquors to show to the satisfaction of
the express company, Its agents repre-
sentatives or employees, that he, with
out solicitation from said Reigel, or
any of his agents, representatives or
employees ordered the consignment of
liquors for his personal lawful use,
without having received from said
Beigel, or any of his employees, adver-
is ements or letters soliciting orders
for liquors" etc. The express com
pany is declared to be a common nui-
sance so far as it may undertake to
handle or deliver any liquors for
Beigel.
Commissioner Blue contends that the
decision of the Supreme Court of
Kentucky, of the United States Su-
preme Court in case coming up from
South Dakota and the Webb-Kenyon
law furnish ground and precedent for
the issuing OF the injunction.
1t is not contended that it is viola
ton to send advertisements through
the mails, but it is contended that if
such advertisements and order blanks
are result of orders being placed with
the soliciting company, and shipments
made that sale has been consummat-
ed when the liquors are delivered and
therefore a violation of the West Vir-
ginia law.
If the above Is correct, the shipment
ment of liquors from Oakland, on or
ders received from circulars mailed
from here, is violation of the law. We
are glad to see that the West Virginia
officials are on their job and are enforc-
ing the law. Success to them,
