GRANTS TO BE GIVEN HEARING
At Westminster, Before Magistrate G
billiard on Friday of This Week.

Last FridRy afternoon Solicitor l..
W. Harris announced that prelimi-
nary hearing in the case of James
Grant and his son, Otto, who were
arrested shortly after the disinter-
ring Of the body of Mrs. Jane Grant,
Of Fair Play, and who have since
that time been held in the Jail here
at Walhalla, charged with the mur-
der OF Mrs. Grant, will be held before
Magistrate billiard at Westminster
on Friday Of this week, the 14th.
Mrs. Grant came to her death, it
was supposed, as a result of having
jumped from her husbands automo-
bile while running at considerable
speed, the tragedy occurring on Oct.
%, 1920. An exhuming Of the body
for post mortem examination was or
dered by Solicitor Harris, and this
took place on Dec. 28 Of last year,
the examination being made by Drs.
B. f. Sloan and J. w. Wickliffe, Of
Walhalla and West Union, respect
lively. Their report showed that Mrs
Grant came to her death from frac-
ture of the base Of the skull, about
six inches from the entry Of the spi-
nal cord into the brain. The physci-
ans made the statement that the
wound which caused the death Of
Mrs. Grant could have been caused
by an occupant Of the car in which
she was riding if specially prepared
instrument had been used. However.
they corroborated the statement Of
the coroner's jury that Mrs. Grant
came to her death as the result Of
having jumped from the moving au-
tomobile, which caused fracture Of
the skull.
Statements at the inquest were to
the effect that Mrs. Grant and her
husband and two children were in
the car on the afternoon Of the 23d
of October, which was the day OF
the lady's death; that a quarrel be-
tween Mrs. Grant and her husband
started while they were in the car on
their way to Fair Play, and as a re-
suit OF this quarrel Mrs. Grant jump
ed over the door Of the car and fell
to the ground while the car was in
motion and at considerable speed
Z The coroner's jury found verdict
to the effect that Mrs. Grant came to
her death from jumping from the
moving car with suicidal intent.

Thursday afternoon last. Mrs. w. ].
Lunney was the hostess. After roll
call, the reading of the minutes and
the business Of the day were dis
posed of, Mrs. Hines, president Of the
club, introduced Rev. J. W.AWi!!!s,
who had been invited to address the
club on the subject, 1.-THE States
Greatest Needs" Our greatest need,
he said, is for q civic association that
makes for graeter respect for the
law, and that respect for the law
should and must begin in the homes.
The influence of the parents and pro-
per training in the home demand or
the children obedience. AS they grow
up to manhood and womanhood they
will then respect the municipal, >thS
conn ntys and thss tat ttes ssB
Ht'hese laws violated daily, he said,
! yet the Christian people tolerate the
,dition. Our cities are often bet
| ter governed than our homes, but we
| should train the children in the
| homes to have proper respect for au-
| thority and inculcate in them princi-
| pies Of obedience. Then will follow
respect for law and order in. NUM-
cipal and State government. The
| only regret felt by the members OF
the club was that every citizen of
Seneca did not hear this splendid ad-
dress. and all be governed by the
suggestion he made where our State
as we'll as all other States could be
made better. During the social hour
the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Dendy,
served salad course, with coffee,
followed by sweets.
Mrs. J. p. Coates gave q number
OF the junior social set happy time
when she entertained her Sunday
school class and a dozen or two Of
their friends at her home Friday

were played and good time in gem
eral was had. Later in the evening
refreshments were served. The hos
tess was assisted by Miss Margie Hol-

PHONE SUBSCRIBERS
PROTEST AGAINST Big
RAISE PROPOSED
More Than One Hundred Subscribers
Of Maysllck Exchange Sign Strong
Protest against Promised In
crease In Rental Rates.

Only few days ago the Maysville
Telephone Company notified their
country subscribers that there would
be an increase in rentals of from $1S
to $50 per year. The announcement Of
the increase has brought loud pro-
test from the users Of the telephones
on this exchange and during the past
few days those who are strongly op-
posed to the proposed increase have
been active in canvassing the phone
subscribers.
Today a petition bearing the sigma
lures Of more than one hundred sub
scribers was presented to the Tele-
phone Company at their offices here in
which the subscribing patrons inform
ed the telephone company that If they
persisted in the proposed increase in
rate. they would discontinue the serv-
ice. This would mean cutting the sub
scription list of the Mayslick exchange
more than half and it is more than
likely that the telephone company
will hearken to the petition and take
up the matter with an idea to some
agreeable adjustment.
The telephone company contends
that they are compelled to receive a
higher rental charge if they are en-
abled to maintain the service but the
subscribers on the Mayslick exchange
and the subscribers on the Maysville
rural lines are loudly protesting that
they should be made to bear the bruH'
by paying such great increases ovel
the present rate they are paying.
