West Virginia, and next served
as state senator.
West Virginia sent him to the
United tSatcs senate as its first
Democratic representative in
1871. He served two terms
with distinction. He ceaselessly
urged congress to help the farm
ers by establishing an agricultu-
al department. His own hills
failed in passing but he lived to
see the day when his far-sight-
edness was recognized.
A familiar figure in presiden-
tial conventions, Senator Davis
led his delegates from West Vir-
GINA to the nomination hall on
seven occasions probably a rec
ord for such service.
A year after he had retired
voluntarily from the senate, he
was urged to become candidate
for vice president on the ticket
with Grover Cleveland. He de
clined. He accepted the nomi-
nation, however, as running
mate with Alton B. Parker, and
thus became the oldest candi-
dtte, aged 81, ever selected for
the Office.
The great wealth of Senator
Davis estimated at over $10,-
100000, was acquired by his
far-sightedness and his ability
to take advantage Of opportuni-
ties.
Two towns in West Virginia
owe their existence and pros
perity to the multi-millionaire
statesman. One bears his
name, Davis, and t h e
other the name is h Vi S
son-in-law and political oppo-
nent, Senator Elkins. In the
latter city stand many memor-
ials, hospitals, schools, children's
homes and churches, commence
ratiye Of his generosity.

William Gay Brown, Congress-
man from the Second Congress
sional District died at his WASH
irgton residence. Thursday Mar.
Oh, shortly. AFTERNOON from par

have not been imagined like this,
which has befallcn the people of
his county and district.
Junior" Brown, as he is known
in this county, was born in King
wood, Va, now West Virginia,
April z, 1856, and was, there
fore at the time of his death,
Wearing his sixtieth birthday. He
was the ony son OF William Gay
Brown, Sr., member of the
Virginia convention which as
sembled at Richmond in 1861,
when the majority Of that con-
yention declared theid allegiance
TO the Southern Confederacy but
which course he stoutly opposed
and with difficulty made his es-
cape from the Virginia city.
He was d member of several
societies, and q member
Of the Presbyterian Church.

Washington, March IL
Henry Gassaway Davis, former
United States senator from
West Virginia and vice-preside"-
tial candidate on the Democratic
ticket in 1904, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Stephen
B. Elkins, here early this morn
ing after a brief illness. Mr..
Davis, who was known as the
Grand Old Man of West Vir-
ginia," was aged SO years.
A few weeks ago he was affiict-
ed with a severe cold and since
that time physicians were in
constant attendance OH account
of is advanced age, among them
being his intimate friend, DR..
Golden, of Elkins.
Senator Davis witnessed and
participated in the great politi-
cal epochs of American prog
ress for more than three quar-
ters of a century. He was the
"old-fashioned gentleman of
the senate. His utterances
were those Of the Jeffersonian
days.
1t is significant that he was
born in the same year, 1923, at
Woodstock, Nd, that the Monroe
Doctrine became a fundamental
principle in Americao politics.
During his distinguished career
he fought to MAINTAIN it. He
later represented the United
States Of two Pan-American
conference at which his person
atty and speeches he strove to
strengthen the bonds Of friend
ship between North and South
America.
Senator Davis active political
career began the year after the
Civil war. He was elected a
member Of the house Of repre-
sentatives Of the now state of

valuation Of the taxable proper
ty in Barker District will remain
unchanged for the whole term
Of twenty years, but one i'm
provement brings another. This
district is underlaid with coal
practically all over and it is quite
sure to be opened in number
Of places in the near future.
which will mean the building Of
more railroads, all of which will
bring more property to the Dis
trict thereby increasing the as
sessed valuation of property,
which will reduce the rate Of
levy Droportionately.
In another paragraph the
writer states that he or the far
mers do not come to town more
than once or twice during the
winter, / don't blame him for
under the present condition Of
the roads, think ! would abso-
lntely refuse to come until the
roads dried up la TIE summer
As to the cost of building roads,
win admit that some brick Or
paved roads do cost $f7,Q00.0a
per mile and some Of them cost
more than $50 o00.00 ger mile,
but most econemical and BEST
road that we en- build for this
district and especially for the
farmers horses IRE Limestone
Maeadam and engineers and
contractors q Considerable ex-
perience sly that $1,000 90 is
a very liberal figure and that
they should be built for less
money.
AS to horses falling and hurt
ing themselves onmacadam road
would say that | have driven
over many hundreds DC miles of
macadam End II properly con
structed it is ais safe for d horse
as a dry dirt road, and | must
say much safer than the mud
the poor horse has to pull thru
in Barker District.
In the last paragraph the wri-
ter brings up the old story of
the farmers working out their
taxes by hauling stone off their
farms and macadamizing the
roads, which has been tried for
the last hundred years and the
roads are getting worse all the
time. so we do not consider it
worth discussing at this time.
Mr.. Taxpayer we would be
glad to hear from Won again with
more questions. This is the way
we all learn.

CONCERNING THE
IMPROVED ROADS

Some voters of Barker have
rotten the impression that the
main pike is to be improved
first, and that if any money is
left it is to be put on the roas;
10 the Sugar Greek Bridge at
Glade District line, and the road
from Relington to Junior This
is erroneous impression as bids
for all TIE work are to be re-
ceivad DIT one time, but which
would nc doubt be in a number
If sections, and the several con-
tractors viii be at. work or the
different sections Of the road at
The same time.
In preparing the call for the
special election it was necessary
5o name the several roads to be
improved, and in specifying
these roads it has happened that
4he two sections Of the pike were
FAMED first and second. but with
rs intention of putting the
nonev On these roads to the ex-
clusion Of the others. In fact
he petition, subject to ratiEica-
lion by the voters, constitutes
HE contract between the County
Court and the citizens, that all
Nthe specified roads are to be I'M
proved proportionately. HoWev~
er. no shortage of funds is antic-
mated or likely to occur.
There is a bill pending in Con-
gress now to give national aid to
improved roads. Those roads
already improved and those to
be improved viii share in the
distribution. Barker District
should be first to receive this aid.
Voters do your part and be
proud of the fact that you are
taking an advanced step in the
right direction.
