The trial Of Charles Il. Durbin, in
ulcted in connection with the closing
OF the Grafton bank. came up on Wed
nesday OF this week. In addition TO
Prosecuting Attorney Ford OF Taylor
county the administration at Charles
ton has secured the services of Hon.
,. D. Avis Of Charleston, and Senator
Gregory OF Parkersburg. to assist I'm
the prosecution. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Ford is a good lawyer and ordi-
narily would need no help, and the
presence OF this mighty array OF legal
talent might suggest a persecution
rather than a prosecution.

The management Of the new Court
theatre very generously donated the
use Of the theatre on Monday night to
the people Of Kingwood district I'm or
der to illustrate to them by motion
pictures the necessity and value Of
good roads. The pictures we're very
interesting and entertaining. During
the evening a life-like picture of one
Of the "uncrowned kings" was flashed
upon the screen, which for some rea-
son or other probably on account Of
his quiet and retiring disposition
seemed TO bring forth much merri-
ment from the crowd. Short snappy
speeches for good roads we're made by
r. q. Hanger. VIM g. Brown. p. j.
Crogan, }. r Daley. Vester y Dunn.
a. g Hughes. Julius X Monroe. Capt
-. F. Cole and Geo. A. Lyon. Imme-
diately after the good roads meeting
the management showed three pic
lures free OF charge, which on It's part
was very generous and thoroughly ap-
preciated by the full house IN attend
ance.

Good roads won. The bond issue
carried by a pronounced majority. 1t
was not fight of one section against
another or the country against the
towns but it was settled on business
lines and business principles. Every
body knew where the roads were to
be built and how much they were 90
ing to cost and the only question to
be settled was whether the road would
be worth the money to the people of
the district. The fight was earnest
and intense, but not bitter. Never in
any presidential election were SO
many people gathered in front of the
court house, and never in any politi-
cal election was there such interest
displayed. The advocates of good
roads were careful to make no mis-
statements or do anything to mislead
the people, and the result of Tues
days election was obtained from an
expression Of the deliberate judgment
OF our people. Many of those who
fought the bond issue expressed them
selves as satisfied after the election
was over and declared that they were
ready to assume their full share of re-
sponsibility and work just as hard
Tor the success OF the good roads as
II they had voted for the bond Issue
The Argus wants to commend those
who opposed this question for the
splendid fight they made and the fair
and honorable manner in which the
arguments for the good roads we're
met by them. Let us now all Join
hands and see that the money is wise
ly and honestly expended.

SideIlghts on the Election

Several amusing incidents occurred
at the good roads election on Tues
day. A young man, who has a broth
er living in Kingwood and to whom he
bears a strong resemblance, came to
Squire Werlich and asked the Squire
to direct him how to get registered
In order that he might vote. The
Squire, mistaking the young man for
his brother, who he knew was going
to vote for good roads, cheerfully &C
companied him. The proper papers
were made out and the Squire was
called upon to be a witness as to the
Identity OF this young man, and, after
signing the papers, some one said 10
cularly to the young man, "Of course
you are for good roads," and to the
astonishment of all he replied, mo,
I'll be burned If am, intend to vote
against the bond issue" The Squire
looked at the young man for a min
ute, and recognizing his mistake
grabbed the registration certificate
and tore 1t up, saying, you amt the
man l thought you were; 1 don't know
you' it's your brother l know"

guing for good roads. The old gem
tleman blandly and with a pleasant
smile agreed to everything Mr.. Hau-
ger said. He assured the old gentle
man that he regretted that he had to
walk four miles to town I'm order to
vote and kindly offered to send him
nome in a carriage and taking the
old man by the arm, kindly and eau
tiously helped him up the stairs TO
the voting booth, where he turned him
over to the tender mercies of Hubert
Crogan and waited for him TO come
out so that he could help him down
the stairs and arrange for his trans
portation back home. The old gentle
man was somewhat hard Of hearing
and Mr.. Crogan had to ask him I'm a
loud voice how he wanted to vote
Inc old gentleman, thinking Mr.. Gro
gan was as deaf as he, shouted to
him, Il want to vote against them

out accordingly. Mr.. Hanger helped
the old gentleman down the stairs but
forgot about his promise to see that
he was driven home in a carriage, and
later the old man was seen vending
MS Feeble way back to his home four
miles from the county seat and broth
er Hanger was nowhere to be seen.
