The accident would not have been so
serious in itself, but there were at
tending circumstances that got the men
in trouble. All of the curtains Of
their car were on. and travelling at 4
high speed the Charles Town travellers
excited the suspicion of some people in
a car travelling in the same direction,
the latter car being on the way from
Woodstock to Strasburg. lust before
the Bailey car went over
the bank they had passed the Strasburg
car. The latter followed CLOSELY and
when the accident happened the Stras-

Refuse TO Change Name

BY vote OF $50 to l2e the people OF
Charles Town At the municipal election
last Thursday refused to give their con-
sent to change the name Of that bail
iwick from Charles Town to Charles
City. The confusion caused BY having
a Charles Town and a Charleston ir
the same State has been source O.
much loss and annoyance to the busi-
ness interests of both places. and SC
the attempt was made to change the
name of Charles Town TO Charles CITY
The very suggestion caused the old
timers to raise their hands in holy hor-
ror-and the fight was on The wo-
men were especially opposed to tho
change. and so they went to the polls
last Thursday in solid ranks and voted
against the change Some estimahle
-suffragists who had sworn that
nothing would ever induce them to en-
ter polling place changed their con-
servative minds and straightwav voted
The progressives were thoroughly rout-
ed, but while thev accept their defeat
philosophically, the business disadvan.
tages continue as before and annoy.
ances and losses pile up.
Some wise person has since made
the happy suggestion thai the name bo
changed to Old Charles Town, and this
seems to meet the approval Of the con-
servatives. Maybe the people can
agree on this name. which would ap-
parently suit those who are firmest in
their affection for the old name.

A Mysterious Grave

AntiQuarianS have something to
puzzle over when the facts concerning
a mystery grave discovered a few days
ago are presented. In digging the
grave for the late Miss Matte Coyle,
whose burial took place on Monday af-
ternoon in the Coyle family burial lot
on the Leetown road, the grave dig
gers discovered metal casket at a
depth underground as deep as bodies
are usually buried. The diggers al
once abandoned this grave and pro-
ceeded TO excavate for another one.
Then a curious bystander examined
the old metal case, finding slide near
one END that opened on hinge. This
slide was moved around, disclosing the
remains of human body. Some of
the skin of the face was intact, dis
heveled hair Of the head covering a
portion of it, The slide was then
moved back in place and the old grave
again reflled.
Whose grave is it? No one now
living hereabouts knows. There is no
stone to mark the last resting place
of the mysterious stranger. 1t is rea-
sonably certain that the BODY has
been there q long time. Ii is likewise
reasonably certain that the occupant
of the grave was a person of means.
as a metal casket at the time the
burial took place must have cost a
tidy sum of money.-Advocate
