Brattleboro. Nov. 9.--Former Attor-
ney-general Herbert G.. Barber was
asked today why the state asked for a
continuance Of the case against for
mer Governor Horace +. Graham,
charged in the Washington County
court with misappropriating state
funds when the attorneys for the state
knew that the case was set for trial
next Tuesday. His reply was that while
he did not wish TO speak for Attorney
General Archibald and while he did
net know definitely that he was to as
sist in the case until last Thursday, he
had been given to understand that
the case would be disposed of on a
plea satisfactory to the state without
a trial.
For that reason, little preparation
for trial had been made by the
state and when Mr.. Graham's plea in
bar was filed which Mr. Barber says
does not answer the Indictment and
which he believes will avail nothing,
it was considered necessary to make
careful preparation for a trial which
could not be done without a coutinu-
ance.

THREE HOGS BROUGHT
THE NEAT SUM OF $146. 80

N. A. Smith of near Hayne mark
eted three hogs in Liberal the last
of the week which brought him the
neat sum of $146.30.

and two eighteen months old and
brought 19c per pound on the local
market, weighing ITO pounds.
Mr.. Smith says he has no trouble
in making money from hogs. He
feeds them maize and kafir soaked in
skim milk and put the weight on them
so he can sell them at profit.
Mr.. Smith mentioned reading the
story. of how E. Liniger compelled
the elevator man to buy his wheat,
and said that he has one its equal.
Something like thirty years ago he
says he was living near Sedalia, Mis-
souri,, and took six fine Plymouth
Rock hens to town to sell them. But
he didn't have much luck. No one
wanted them at any price, and after
hunting all over town to find "a buyer
he had to take them back home. He
remembered we'll selling wheat at 80
cents bushel, and remarked that in
spite of the high prices people were
better off now than they were at that
time.

REMAINS OF ROMAN SHELTER
Intensely Interesting Discovery Said
to Have Been Made in the
North of England. II

A lady member of the Cumberland
and Westmoreland Antiquarian so
ciety of England has had the good for
tune to discover what is believed to be
a Roman bloomery, or ancient smelt-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
to the place by the work of moles'
which recently exposed some of the
remains, and again later by the burn
ing of the whins formerly concealing
the hearth and other features of the
bloomery, near Forest How.
By some exploration with spade,
she traced the foundations of a large
hearth. twelve yards in diameter, and
a number of heaps of cinders, Stag
and ore; and she also turned up spec
linens of Roman tiles, with pottery
Stag and hematite. The size of the
hearth of the Forest How bloomery
marks 1t as quite different from the
ordinary north-country medieval iron
furnaces. which run from seven to
nine OF. ten feet in diameter. for the
one just found is twelve yards across
This appears to be worth further ex
ploration and probably money for thai
purpose will be found.

FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED
Dredging Operations in the Mersey
Disclose Remains OF Vessel That
Had Been Forgotten.

For some time past the Mersey
docks and harbor board has been con-
Quoting dredging operations in the
neighborhood of the Burbo bank. one
of the huge accumulations OF SAND
which impede the navigation of the
Mersey entrance. and these have re-
suited in a find" of remarkable In
terest.
1t is the remains of steamer which
have evidently been embedded for
generations. Her date is long ante
rior to that of iron shipbuilding. Or
sound English oak were her timbers
and framing. to which circumstances
doubtless is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape, and
have so wonderfully resisted the forces
of decay as to supply an abundant
! quantity of material for the souvenir
manufacturer. Her beams, In point
of fact, are described as being as
fhard as iron"
The machinery has practically per-
ished. but the engine bed-plates and
the funnel remain, and relics of pot
terry and other articles are plentiful.
The vessel. cleared of superabundant
sand, is not only visible, but accessible
at low water. and has been visited and
examined by many interested people
The prevailing opinion is that she
is the William Huskisson. paddle
steamer belonging to the City of Dub,
lin company And trading between Liv'
erpool and the Irish capital. which on
the 10Th of January, 1910. was wreck
ed on her passage to the Mersey. She
had 40 passengers on board. of whom
95 were rescued by the ship Hudders
field, and the remainder persisted

subsequently received handsome pres
entations from the citizens of Liver

CONTROL sHEEP-KILLING DOG
Secretary of Agriculture Asks Twenty
Governors to Urge Laws Pro-
tecting Sheep.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The enactment Of more adequate
state laws to control sheep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
letter just sent to the governors of
20 states. The secretary points out
that, although there has been graft
flying increase in the number of sheep
in the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion OF
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account of the dam
ger of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors of Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, 1ndi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
homa, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures are now in
session. Following is the letter:
81 understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter of
legislation to encourage the larger de
velopment of the sheep industry by re-
moving or controlling the dog menace.
During the past year. as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying in
crease in the number of sheep in the
United States. There is undoubtedly
room in many sections of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially in the settled farming areas
The field representatives of this de-
partment. however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ac'
count of the danger of damage by
dogs.
ssThe question seems to be primar
ily one for consideration and action by
