CHARLESTON, w. Va. March e.
That the forces supporting Attorney
General Lilly for the Republican nom
ination for governor are entirely sat
islied with the situation in Kanawha
county, where the committee split in
halves Saturday, was the statement
given that night at Lilly's hcadquar-
ters by Or. S. S. Sutphiu.
we have every reason to be salts
fled with the situation in Kanawha
county" said DR.. Sutphin. In fact
the situation could look but little bet
ter in Kanawha county. The candi-
dacy Of General Lilly has united the
Republican party Tor the first time
since 1904.
I'VE have Sheriff Bonner Hill, Coun,
A. p. S. Hudson, Judge Grant Cop
enhaver and other county officers
lighting side by side with such lead
ers as Grant p. Hall, O. A. Petty,
Frank j. Hudson, u. G. Young and
others behind the general These men
are typical of sentiment throughout
the county, and all are assured that
General Lilly will carry the county by
a vote of to l.
THAT half of the committee which
met Saturday and endorsed Judge Rob
iuson did not represent Kanawha
county sentiment. The leaders at the
kanawha court house could have CON
trolled the committee, but knew that
they could win without it. General
Lilly does not expect to win this nom
ination by the committee route He
will win it because the Republican
voters are behind him and the Repuh-
lican leaders in Kanawha county are
with him because they know the SEN
timent of the voters. They are try
ing to follow sentiment when they
give their support to General Lilly.
I'VE have known for some time
that five of the members of the COM
mittee are controlled by state house
influences. These five members who
gave their endorsement to Judge Rob
inson are either in possession of state
jobs themselves or have relatives de-
pendent on the will and pleasure of
the state house. General Lilly has
always opposed political machines,

submitted to the commissioners OF the
particular district by County Judge
Joe Asher
On behalf OF Pulaski County, Judge
Asher proposes that half the cost OF
the road work, estimated TO mean an
outlay of perhaps 100000, will be as
sumed by the county. the other half
to be paid for by the improyeme
district in which the unimproved roa
is located.
In addition to half the cost OF the
road, Pulaski County will build all
bridges and culverts that are longer
than 10 feet. This will mean con-
struction OF a bridge about l20 feet
long another some 60 feet long and
four or FIVE averaging 20 feet which
will cost close TO $4,000.

drawled:
"Now, loOky here, judge, let me tell
you all the way this here thing hap

Then began an actual flow Of speech.
Nothing could stop her. Justice Kiefer
pounded and the deputies shouted, but
to no avail. On and on she talked
about eyerything-pausing only to en-
phasize her remarks In more forci-
BILE manner. AT the end Of 10 min

hausted. In the doorway was ar

United States Senator Robert l..

luncheon given by the Pine Bluff
Chamber of Commerce stated that tie
present great wave OF prosperity in
the United States is due primarily to
the federal reserve bank law, and not
TO high prices Of farm products, man
ufacture of war munitions or other
such causes, although he admitted
that the European war has aided ma
terially in giving the United States
such great quantity Of gold. AS
soon as the people learned that the
government was behind the reserve
bank, and that there could never be
another panic in this country, mil
lions of dollars heretofore boarded
reached the banks. Banks loaned
money more freely, which they could
do because they could rediscount COM
mercial bills without difficulty, and
the borrowed money at once went in
to circulation. There has been S3,-
500, 100000 invested in new manufac-
turing enterprises in this country, he
said, as a result of the reserve act,
and bank deposits have shown an in

we may have to face and that will

more manufactured articles than it

find markets for our surplus, and there
again the federal reserve act will be
our aid, because the act provides for
the establishment of branch banks in
foreign countries which trade with
us, thus giving American manufactur-

BRIEF NEWS AND NOTES.

An unusual theft took place near
Walnut Ridge recently when thieves
went to the home Of Chester Du-
laney while he and his family were
attending a circus, hitched pair of
Mr.. Dulaney's mules to his new wag-
on, rolled two bales of cotton on to
the wagon, drove into Walnut Ridge,
sold the cotton for 10 cents per pound
cash, and departed, leaving the wag-
on and team hitched in the town.
When the theft was discovered the
cotton was traced and the man who had
innocently bought it paid Mr.. Dulaney
the amount of it's value. The thief
has not been caught.

prisoner for a chew of tobacco. When
he told the negro he had none, the ne
gro cursed him vilely. For this infrac-
tion of the Jail rules the negro was
soundly whipped. After being whip
ped the negro said he had long had
a desire to "cuss out" white man
and thought because he was in jail
it would be safe for him to enjoy such
a rare treat.
