Why He Didn't Pay.

A preacher, at the close of one of
the his sermons said: LET all in the
house who are paying their debts
stand up" Presently every man, wo-
man and child, with one exception,
rose to their feet.
The preacher seated them and said:
"Now,every man not paying his debts
stand up" The exception, a care
worn, hungry looking individual
clothed in his last summers suit,
slowly assumed a perpendicular po-
sition.
How is it, my friend" asked the
minister, you are the only man not
able to meet his obligations"

Lost its West Virginia Subscriber.

The Roanoke Times: AS was pre-
dicted, direful results have followed
the Democratic victory of 1912. The
Tazewell Republican has lost its West
Virginia subscriber. She writes. ac-
cording to an editorial wall in that
newspaper-that she can no longer
subscribe after the time her 25c paws
for. The cynical might be tempted to
suggest that persons who can afford
to invest twenty-five cents for the
Republican for any period must be
possessed of the recklessness in mon
ey matters that proceeds from eyag-
gerated affluence; but we are told
this lady is poor. She attributes her
poverty and consequent inability to
cotinue the wild luxury of reading
the Republican to the Underwood tar
itfbill, which, she says, has caused
desperately hard times in the Tug
River mining section.
So far, so good. Now, we invite the
Republican to trace it out for us and
show us how the Underwood tariff is
responsible, directly or indirectly for
slack work on the Tug River and its
onwn deplorable loss.

court PUTS Trolley
SUIT UP TO JURY

Judge Boyce. in Superior Court to-
day. handed down a decision refus-
ing the prayers of Robert II. Rich
ards, counsel for the Peoples Rail J.
way Company. for binding instruo-
tions on the jury for a verdict for
the defendant company in the dam
age suit instituted by Salvatore Pa
cell.
The court held that the jury is the
judge of the facts of the case. The
court then charged the jury on the
law, holding that no obscene. profane
or vulgar language by a passenger on
a street railway car justifies an en-
ploye in committing an assault.
Pacell brought suit TO recover
damages for injuries received by be-
ing forcibly pushed from a Peoples
Railway Companys car by the motor
man. The defence claimed that Pa
cell, by using profane and vulgar
language, caused the motorman to
become angry and his election from
the car followed.
The jury in the case had not re-
turned at 230 o'clock.

SCHOOLS is URGED

Rural Schools, What They Need"
was the subject that was mainly dis
cussed at a meeting of the Delaware

the rural schools need better lighting
and ventilating arrangements. more
books and better pictures for tho

College of Delaware, was the principal
speaker. She suggested several means
If lettering conditions generally in
he country schools. The most of
them, she said, needed reflected light
ng arrangements and she pointed out
now the shades should go up from the
bottom instead of from the top; bet
ter ventilating arrangements also
should be effected with all windows
opening from the bottom and the top
as we'll She also said that all buckets
containing drinking water should be
carefully covered and that a travelling
library that would circulate through
out all the country schools should by
all means be a feature of every rural
district. She also urged the need Of
consolidation of the schools, adding
that much more efficient work could
be done in them.
However" said DR.. Rich. Della
ware is waking up and beginning to
see this fact for herself, with the re-
suit that the school commissioners
are now talking about it and are
working for it,"
Others who spoke at yesterdays

sioner of Richardson Park district
Miss Miriam Webb, Miss Mary R. de-
You and Miss Mary Malone During
the course of her talk, Mrs. Quigley
spoke particularly of the needs of
the school in Richardson Park, add
ing that it was now inadequate for its
purpose, as it has outgrown its pres
ent capacity, with the result that so
pupils occupy one room. Miss Mary
II. Askew Mather. president OF the
association, presided at the meeting.

ported that he had asked the Turkish
government to release Sir Edwin
Pears, a British subject. who has been
imprisoned in Constantinople. He did
not state the charges against Pears.
