OPPOSES PLUM PLAN.

Shortly after the appearance OF
the Plumb plan of railroad control,
Governor Cornwell of West Virginia
wrote to the governors Of other
States, calling attention to the loss
in tax receipts would the States
would suffer if the Plumb plan were
adopted. He estimated the yearly
loss for his own State at $3,000,00O.
His action was criticised by the ofh-
GERS of certain labor union at Hunt
ington, w. Va, to whom he thereup-
on wrote the following letter:
"Charleston, August II, 1919.
"Mr. E. Brennan, President,
"Mr. J. H. Williams, Secretary.
Federation of Railway Employees,
Huntington, ". Va.
Gentlemen: Of course I regret
that any of my fellow citizens should
disagree with, or feel aggrieved with
me because of my views upon any
public question, but that cannot de-
ter me from having and exercising
the same freedom Of opinion that
YOU have. When you asked for an
eip;bt-hour day I was with you, heart
and soul.
81 was then and am now, in favor
of your securing not only fair, but
a liberal wage, but when you ask the
farmers and the laborers in other
lines of work to go in debt $20,ooO,-
100000 through the medium Of the
federal government to buy the rail-
roads and give them to you to oper-
ate for your benefit and to use as you
please, you are making a proposition
that is neither sane nor fair.
"To me it is little short of amaz-
ing that men possessing the intelli-
pence of the train men meet should
be gulled into making such unreason-
able and outrageous demands.
"If the people bought the railroads
and gave them to you to run for your
benefit, telephone and telegraph en-
ployes would demand the same thing
of these properties. They have as
much right to it as you have. Then
the coal miners would demand that
the mines be purchased and given to
them, and they have as much right to
make that demand as you have.
'Then the farm laborers, with even
better right would say, We produced
the food you live on-buy the farms
and give them to u.s. Then we have,
not Socialism, but chaos. They are
trying to run things that way in Rus
sia and we know tho result

The Children's day service last Sun
day evening in the Methodist church
was a gratifying success due to the
faithfulness- Of the workers of the
primary division Of the Sunday school.
The Battle Brook school furnished
several numbers as an evidence of the
splendid work they are doing. The
floral decorations which covered the
chancel and the back of the pulpit re-
cess were distributed among the sick
at the close of the service, the hospital
receiving the largest assignment.

There was an alligator hunt in
town on Saturday-Mr A. Stein
bach's pet gator, Jimmie, which she
brought from Florida, started on a
jaunt without a chaperone, travelled
several blocks without being observed,
and was eventually discovered taking
a midday bath in the overflow from
the public drinking fountain. Jimmie,
although only about foot long, is a
sagacious little devil and evidently
smelled water from afar. Had he not
been discovered he would likely have
found the Rum river and ere this been
making his way to the bayous of
Louisiana.

f. L. Washburn, state entomologist,
advises farmers not to kill snakes
with the exception of course of rat

by devouring field mice and gophers,
as well as grasshoppers and other in

The more snakes the farmers have in
their fields the better for the crops.

Mushrooms of various varieties have
begun to make their appearance.
Most of the species are edible, but
there are some poisonous ones among
them. So be careful in picking
make sure when gathering that you
get none but the nonpoisonous kinds,
as some of the poisonous varieties re-

"a veil. Hence, a veil is not sure in

Elk River the other night and on their

they were compelled to pass the night

says our informant, the driver of a

tern hanging on a leg which pro-
truded from the dead car and found

other surreptitiously hung out the
