HERO AND HEROINE.

The motive for Corporal Hazel
ions Supcrhluman fight for life,
which began in the New River Hos
pital ut Montgomery, rs hours after
he had fallen into the jaws Of Mich
olas county wilderness. has Just
tecn disclosed. Information in this
connection was brought TO Charles
ton this week by Eivin A. Hamilton.
rl9ht-of-way superintendent Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company who returned from Wash
inStOn, where he visited the injured
corporal ut Walter Reid Hospital,
and TO whom Hazelion told his first
inside" story.
do YOU think l could give up and
quit after what she (mcaning Mrs.
Hazelton) had displayed in the way
of grit?" Corporal Hazclton asked
of MIR. Hamilton. NO" The gritty
soldier continued, ''lhat wasn't a
time to lay down and die; it was Il
tune to take a new lease OH life"
Mrs. HaZclton'S first word of her
husbands accident was Il press re-
port reaching her ut the hospital
when their second child had been
born, containing the discouragirs
news that HaZelion had suffered a
broken back and would probably
die. She, whose life only few
hours since had hung OH Il slender
thread. also decided it was no time
to give up and, like her husband,
she fought with added vigor. Her
advent into that land, where over
hanging shadows cast it with the
black Of might, "wherc death steal
eth" had been successful, but the re-
action from the shock of learning CT
dying husband miles and miles
away. might have cXacted its fatal
toll. And so. with that spirit that
characterized Il life of love and hap
piness neither gave up the battle,
but, Oh the contrary, both fought
only the harder.
Hazelton is improving and it is
thought he will be able to be out by
April 1st.

COURT DECISION.

The Government On The 10Th won
its suit to compel members OF the
American Hardwood Manufacturers
Association to terminate co-opcra-
tive selling methods and agreements
alleged 10 nave been adopted for the
purpose Of eliminating competition
among themselves and to maintain
and increase prices.
The Government in carrying its
case 10 the Supreme Court charged
that the association, consisting OF
COB persons and corporations en-
gagged in the production and sale of
hardwood lumber, combined and
conspired to eliminate competition
among themselves and to enhance
their selling prices in restraint OF
trade, and that they did this by
comparing and exchanging under an
"open competition plan" the reports
and bulletins concerning prices,
stocks and productions.
Justice Clark in delivering the de-
cision said it was clear from the
evidence that the plan was a COM
bination to restrict production and
to increase prices. The calling OF
The organization an "opcn competi-
ton plan" was merely putting an
old evil in a new dress.
The above combination is what
forced the price Of lumber to thc
tremendous high price it has been
selling.

NEW CAPITOL SITE SELECTED.
The State Capitol Commission

The State Capitol Commission on
last Tuesday selected the Duffy
Street Site for the new State Capt.
tol. This is more than mile up the
ia-ivcr from ihe present location and
lit is said 10 be much higher ground
'and on land that has not yet been
covered with water as in the case
with the old location. This is said
to have been Il large argument that
entered into the change from the
present location. This new site is
in the resident section of Charles
ion. The land is bounded by Duly,
California and Kan
awha Streets and includes the land
|bctweeEsKanawha street and the
river. In fact the property fronts
the iianawha River fer a distance
of .0eO feet and contains approNi-
1ltatcly sixteen acres. On tho Duffy
Street side it is adjacent 10 the land
secured for the new Executive
Mansion. There arc now about sixty
residences OH this property and it
Yis said that the sale Of the old capi-
|tol site will more than pay for this
properly. The sentiment Of the
citizens outside of the city OF Char
cston apparently were solid for the
old location. The selection of the
Duffy Street site is practically a
compromise between the old site
and the South Ruilncr Site, farther
up and on the opposite side of the
fTivcr.
