CoRNWELL is RIGHT.

Governor Cornwell has been very
felicitous in his proclamations and
suggestions to the people concerning
the war His statements have been
filed with good common sense. 1t
augurs well for the situation of the
day in West Virginia that we have a
governor as levelheaded and sensible
as the present executive. He has been
forehanded and farreaching in all OF
the affairs touching the peculiar ext
gencies of the day, and we especial
ly agree with his action in writing
to the courts of the state.
lie has written a personal letter
to all of the courts of the state ask
ing that they dismiss their jurors and
not summon witnesses during these
unprecedented times. This action is
very wise and the governor is to be
commended. The farmers are behind
with their crops, the unprecedented
season has compelled the replanting
of the corn and the enlarged acreage
has been the condition everywhere
in West Virginia. Labor is almost
impossible to obtain today and the
demands for men needed to carry out
the ordinary plan of livelihood have
increased to an extraordinary de-
gree.
1t is almost impossible. with the
help in hand to plant the crops or
do the work which is set to us. We
are in a condition of war, and in this
condition we must do our part. 1t
is hardship to drag witnesses and
jurors from their farms. workshops,
manufactures and stores at this time.
Litigants should withhold their hand
and allow the patriotic principles of
the people to have full sway. 1t
the people to have full sway. II
dition of war, but while we do not see
the blood and carnage of the battle
field, this country is engaged in the
most stupendous undertaking it has
ever attempted. 1t is necessary that
every man do his part, which is inn
possible when witnesses are in many
instances summoned to an unimpor
tant litigation away from their work.
The governor is very wise in asking
the courts to cease their proceedings
in these unprecedented conditions of
the day.
1t is the duty of every patriotic
Judge to shut off all possible litiga-
ton that men may put their hand t
the pillow and do the work which the
unprecedented conditions of the day
are crowding upon the American citi-
zen AS the governor says, let the
courts arrange their matters so ev-
cry able-bodied citizen may hold his
hand to the great work which the
conditions of the day impose upon
him. Charleston Gazette.

Therefore if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim, vigor and vitality,
to ripe old age, you must supply
the deficiency of Phosphates lacking

the form of Phosphates most easily as

NOTICE: Phosphate which
is recommended and prescribed by
physicians in all enemic cases, is not
secret or patent medicine, but one
that is sold and recommended by well
known druggists everywhere, and ply
sicians are daily subscribing the con
stituents contained in it, Being en-
tirely unlike many other Phosphates,
it is easily assimilated and will be
found effective in the treatment of in
digestion and stomach troubles, as
well as for care worn, nervous condi-
tions The manufacturers Of Argo-
Phosphate will forfeit to any charita-
BILE institution $4,000 If they cannot
treat any man or woman under IS
who lacks Phosphates, and increase
their strength and endurance from
100 per cent to 300 per cent or more
in one months time, if they are free
from organic trouble. 1t is dispensed
by all reliable druggists.
If your druggist will not supply you.

will send you a two weeks treatment

that Phosphates are just as essential

ton of badges, following closely as
possible, the recommendation of the

After having carefully examined

of the sections thereof, relative to

The public roads of this state shall
be divided into two classes, to be
known, respectively, as Glass A and
Glass B. The term "main county
road" federal aid road or state
aid road" when used in this. or any
other section of this act unless other
wise stated as clearly intended shall
mean any road constructed and main
tanned in whole or in part by funds
derived from the county road levy
supplemented by federal aid, or the
state road fund, and which is estab

the state road commission.
All such main county roads, and al
roads receiving federal or state aid
shall be included in, and constitute

want to say right here that this
new law gives the county court
