The POcahontas Road Trouble.
POcahontas Va, April l3.

Editor of the News:
The much discussed matter of the
Big Vein PocahontaS Coal Company
obstructing the county road just west
of PocahontaS when they built thelf
power house tipplc over the same and
built instead n rugged steep road
where it crossed the railroad track
twice and had Il reverse turn on 20
per cent grade and increased the dis
lance twice will likely be brought to
the attention of the Hon. Henry S.
Bowen and the other members of the
county road board in such way as
to cause some action. The citizens
Of the town and the farmers in Abs
Valley are commenting on the matter,
and the probable action of the COM
missioners is looked forward to with
much interest. AS the road now runs
there is hazard of accident besides
the inconvenience of reducing the size
of load to make the trip possible for
light teams. There are now many au
tOmobiles in town and when the road
is wet it is not possible to make the
trip. Whereas, the old road before
these people built their plant in it was
on not more than one per cent grade
and did not cross the railroad track. A
road could easily be made around the
power house and under the Triple,
but Mr.. Geo. B. Smith, Superintendent
in conversation with n friend offered
to bet that the road would never be
put under the tipple, from which it
was construed that they defied the
county authorities, and certainly there
could be very little if any, inconven-
fence to the coal company, and still
they are willing to gamble on being
able to destroy the road and get away
with it. Possibly Mr.. Smith figure.
that the power house and tipple were
there first. but old citizens have dis
tinct recollection of more favorable
route than ut present.
The mattcr is at this time being
brought to the attention of the prop.
er parties and concentrated action
may result. and which the citizens
would appreciate.

OSERICHLANDS RESOLUTIONS

The Republicans of the county met
at Richards few days ago, and went
through the usual performance when
candidates are OF be nominated for
Office, namely, among other things, of
passing set Of resolutions. These
stereotyped resolutions have been dish
ed out so often that they have become
quite familiar to the people of this
county. We have read and rc-rcad
this batch of dope during twenty
years, as often as Republican CON
vention has been held. We could al
most guarantee to write them before
hand, so familiar have they become
in sameness and tameness. Men,
claiming to he patriotic and loyal
Vlrginians and Americans, meeting in
political convention at such Il time as
this, would naturally be expected to
put forth at least some few declara-
tons of loyalty to the government
under which they live. and sympathy
for the rulers of the nation in its ri
gantic struggles with untold Difficult
ties and unexpected complications at
home and abroad. But not so. Their
eyes were focused on the pie-counter
from first to last. Their entire utter
ances were i'll the form of anarchistic
criticisms and denunciations of the
party in power. These resolutions are
published elsewhere in this paper in
order that all the people may see and
know the real temper and feeling of
the domination party in this county.
And at the same time these candi-
dates are soliciting the votes and sup
port of the Democrats in this county
at the November election. We are
not In position to say just what the
Democrats will do i'm November. The
party may not have candidates in the
held IN opposition, rs they should have
but If they do not have. it remains to
be seen whether or not the Democrats
Will give their support to a party
whose cvey utterance is i'm denuncia-
ton and abuse of their Office holders
and their policies, as question. AS
between voting approval of such set
of resolutions as those put out at the
love feastp Mt Richards and not vot-
ing at all. there would seem to he but
one course to chooSe-not vote mt all.
Read these wonderful resolutions, if
you care to, as published elsewhere i'm
tins paper. They are wonderful in
their literary sweep and patriotic con-
ception. We suggest that Mr.. Rovall
and Mr.. Witten take copy Of these
resolutions with them to Richmond
should these gentleman be elected
and exhibit them to their co-laborcrs
IN the General Assembly, along with
their credentials of election. These
resolutions will prove to be a great
help to these lawmakers and repre-
sentativcs of this great section.

Major Walton Remembered Graham
Man

Lee }. Barbee, ST., Graham man is
one of the principle beneficiaries to
snare IN the division of tie three huns
dred thousand dollars estate of the
late MOTOR Samuel Walton. The last
will and testemant of Major Walton,
revised by Mr.. Walton personally and
written by him on the 18th day of
November, 1914, was probated at
Princeton, Mercer county w. Va. on
Thursday. The fortune will approx.
innate three hundred thousand dollars

the figures fixed by the Major Walton
himself are evidenctly conservative
The estate consists of railroad con-
struction equipment, bank stocks and
bonds and mining stock, trotting
horses and personal property and life
insurance.
The Falls Mills estate was bequeath
ed to Walton Sudduth. Mrs Walton
was given a lump sum of twenty
thousand dollars, all of Major Wal
toms life insurance and was provid
ed for in, other annuities ranging
from six hundred to one thousand
dollars a year. Major Walton was a
Union soldier and a government pen
sion of twelve dollars per month re-
verts to his widow, mention of which
is made in the will. Warren w.
Cline receives $4,000 in cash and was
otherwise taken care of. Major Wal
ton did not forget his faithful old
coachman, Robert Anderson, to whom
he willed the sum of $500. Others
connected with Mr.. Walton one way
or another were remembered, after
which Lee j. Barbee became the ben,
eficiary of the residue of the estate.
Prior to Mr.. Walton's death, the
Walton Construction Company incor-
porated was organized with Lee J,
Barbee, president. Walton Sudduth
and Taylor Rogers, vice presidents,
and Warren Cline, secretary and
treasure. A number of the contract
ing firms bearing Mr.. Walton's name
were merged into this concern. The
company was organized by Mr.. Wal
ton in person, soon after his return
from Johns-Hopkins hospital few
weeks prior to his death. Mr.. Bar
bee had been with Mr.. Walton since
the year 1882, Mr.. Cline about ten
years and Mr.. Sudduth since a bow

AN APPRECIATION.

1t was no mistake that made Wood
row Wilson, college President and
Governor of New Jersey, the Demo
crtalc candidate for the Presidency of
the United States; and there are few
of any party who do not accord to
him the fullest credit for the dignity
and faithfulness, the independence
and the general prudence and wisdom
with which he has performed it's du-
ties in Il most critical period in the
history of our own country and the
world
The burden resting on his shoulders
has been extraordinarily heavy, heav-
Ter, says Speaker Clark, than any
other President has had to carry
since Abraham Lincoln; and he has
borne 1T with sturdy strength and not
with needless ease. He has had to
suffer the greatest personal loss that
befalls a good man, but the country
has observed TO relaxation of that un,
tagging care which in such a posi-,
ton requires one to forget himself
in his duty to his country. For his
country he has had unusual anxiety.
We refer not to our domestic politics,
Tor that is normal, and he has carried
no more such burdens than fall to any
President in time of peace; and we
are glao TO say that the party in OPP
position mas treated him with critical
respect. 1t IS the international condi-
.ioh mat might burden and almost
