CAPITOL INSPIRES VERSE
Muse Of Belington Recites to House
TO Delegates

When the debate on the ques-
ton of rebuilding the capitol was
in progress in the house of dele
gates yesterday, the goddess of
poetry tickled the fancy of the
member from Barbour, who
burst forth into soul-stirring
verse, inspired perhaps by moth
ing stronger than crystal waters
that trickle from mountain
fastness and help to make Bel
lington what it is.
The verses recited by Dele
gate Fred. e. Thompson were as
follows:
The Old State House has van
ished, boys,
A she'll a corpse remains.
The Soul that once was housed
within
Has left its vast domains.
1t lived it's contract all these
years
No one disputes that fact,
But now another from the dust
We're to Great by an act.
Just when, just where, we'll
plant it down,
We can't decide right now,
So what's the use to bubble here
With the horse behind the
plow.-Charleston Mail.
