u will be remembered that the
Manufacturers Light & Heat
Company filed a notification with
the commission Of an arbitrary
advance in the price Of gas. The
consumers formed an orsanIza-
tion and employed ex-Judae
Frank W. Nesbltt, and Senator
J. B. sommerViIIe, Of Wheeling,
to start proceedings to prevent
the price Of gas from being raised.
The several hearings In this
connection held at Charleston
and In Wheeling, were conducted
by Commissioner Ogden and
Bronson. AZ . result Of these
hearings, a decision was render
ed by the full commission at
which the Manufacturer Liqht q
Heat Company were restrained
not only from advancing the price
Of gas. but an order for reduction
was made from the present price.
In certain sections now supplied
by the company.
u is alleged that the order OF
the commission has saved the oas
consumers Of the state 100000
per month.
During the proceedings AZ
Charleston prior to the final de-
eislon Of the commission Mr..
We'll created sensation BY
charging Governor Hatfield with
having attempted 20 brlna pres
sure 70 bear upon the commission
TO decide against the gas comp.
any.
This charge was resented BY
every member Of the commission,
and after an exciting scene Mr..
We'll was strongly reprinanded
and he withdrew from the case.
The Manufaeturers' Llaht q
Heat Company, following the &C.
ton of the commission. took an
appeal 20 the Federal Court, and
that body handed down decision
sustaining the commission.
In the meanwhile the advanced
price is not being paid BY the
consumers, the difference between
the present price and the redue-
ton ordered BY the commission

event that the case is finally de.

Quit

Some of the delinquent
subscribers have been coming in
or sending the money, which is
just as well, so far as beefsteak
and other commodities are con-
cefned.1' One fellow wrote as
that when we. found out that he
did not respond to our invitation
to pay, which issued about two
weeks ago, he thought we would
stop his paper, and, very indig-
nantly tells US to stop sending
his paper but the fellow forgot
to say anything about paying
for the paper for which the
books show he owes since 1911.
This is the kind that always
gets indignant, the one that has
ignored many, many former in
vitations to pay. Now, let the
next 'piker" that wants to get
indignant, come on. A fellow
who gets fussy over US sending
him his paper that he has not
paid for for three or four years
after, getting and reading it
weekly is a "piker" Of the worst
sort. If you don't want the
paper, pay for it and we viii.
gladly stop it. Don't be d
"piker", act like a man.

Nothing New In War.

rights that China may have to

it is not prepared to defend it.

NO TAX DODGERS HERE?
Fine Indicted Sc times for Boot
Logging Three are
Arrested.

The grand jury met with the
circuit court and and proceeded
to rattle the wet bones of illegal
sales of liquor. The rafting
was not so pronounced as many
expected but a few of the aIleg-
legged sellers of liquor inviolation
of the local option law were cor
rallied. In addition the jury
took up the matter of taxdodg-
ing, but, contrary to the findings
in Carroll and other counties,
the jury here was unable to find
any dodgers of taxes.
No true bills were returned
for tax lodging but Sc were re-
turned in the cases of five men
accused of illegal liquor sales.
Of these, three have been ap-
pretended and put under $500
bond for each count of the in
dictment. Tom Karcher of Sal
isbury was indicted on AZ counts.
James Pearman and Jack ed
wards of this place were also in
dicted. The other two indicted
have not been apprehended as it
is said they got into the cellar
when they heard the storm COM
ing and escaped arrest for the
present.
1t is reported however that the
court and the prosecuting attor-
ney is not done with the job of
Investigating the ltax-dodgers
and perhaps, the alleged liquor
sellers as we'll. If reports are
true there are many of both
kinds here who have neither
been indicted or apprehended. A
little later on the prosecutor may
get some evidence that will
cinch the deal and land some Of
the alleged violators of the law

DIED FROM HIS WOUNDS
George Williams Killed by Ne
Three Others
Implicated.

George Williams, a fisherman
at Brunswick, died Monday from
a blow on the head inflicted for
the purpose of robbery about
two weeks ago.
1t appears that two negros,
Murphy Wilson and Theo Ander-
son and two white men, Geo.
Williams and A. Davis were
shooting craps near the black
smith shop on the railroad. Some
time after the game Williams
was found a short distance up
the track unconscious and with a
wound on his head. Davis was
also slugged but managed to
wander home, tho remembering
nothing of what had happened
to him.
The two negroes above named
were arrested and given AS days
in Jail for assault. About $40
was found on the negroes which
it now appears had been taken
from Williams and Davis when
they were slugged.
A coroners inquest was held
Wednesday after an autopsy
on Williams which disclosed that
Williams had died from the
wound received the night of the
slugging, the jury finding that
deceased had died from the
wound received the night Of the
slugging, the jury finding that
deceased had died from the
wound inflicted by some one un-
known.

Judge Coll was one Of the
prominent farmers of the county
as well as a financier of known
ability. He was one Of the pro-

and a director to his death.
1906 Mr.. Coll was elected
member of the county court as
Judge for the Eastern district,
and he enjoyed the distinction
with the other members of that
body at the time of progressive
ness such as had been exceeded
by no court. He declined to
consider longer service for the
public and retired at the end of
his second term.
Denominationally considered,
Judge Coll was a Lutheran, but
more broadly considering
his character, he was of the
Christian world generally. Un-
obtrusive, honest, broad.gauged
and charitable, he was of that
make up which is the foundation
for solidity in all things.
He had by long industry and
good Judgment, surrounded him
