A WORD TO MY FELLOW CAN
DIDATES

was panied to read in last weeks
issue of The Philippi Republican that
some one Of the candidates had been
throwing a little mud". Boys let US
not indulge in any such proftless
"passtime". If we engage in politics,
we may expect to "dine on crow
occasional. | have eaten several
messes of that noisy bird; and know
what it tastes like.
Of course / would have appreciat-
ed very highly to have received the
nomination without contest from the
Republicans of Barbour, but at the
same time l recognize the right of
any one to aspire to any office-even
to the presidency of this great nation.
There has been some talk of a
get-together" meeting of candidates
and committeeman. l spoke to our
County chairman about it recently
and he thinks that all of the an
nounced candidates are true Repub-
licans and will abide by the decision
of the Republican voters of the
the County. There is one thing sure
the candidate who is defeated and in
the general election play Brutus with
his opponent will commit political
suicide. I have been defeated sever
al times, but on election day you
have found me ION the firing line.
If | am defeated in this primary, ON
November 4th you will find your
uncle William, doing business at
same old stand.
Yours truly,

but jist raw country boy, but we're
both from the same little town out

The woman still eyed him closely,
though her look seemed gradually to
become more curious than distrustful,
until at last she appeared to throw uff
all suspicion,
"Well. Mr.-Country Boy" she said,
with an air of frankness and a twist

she flared up straight in her chair.
"What do you mean?'

The woman sprang up.

That's what I'm amin t do" the
woodsman went ca evenly, rising and

The woman caught small cord that
dangled behind the door in reach of
her hand and gave it vicious jerk. 1t

Natural gas has brought more tax
able wealth into West Virginia than
any other factor, according to Edwin
Robinson, Secretary Of the West Vir-
GINA Oil and Natural Gas Associa-
ton, in an article in the current is
sue of Natural Cas-, magazine
published by the Nature Gas Assoc
iation of America. Natural Gas
"addod taxable wealth that has
been potent factor in the onward
march of the states development"
according to this authority.
The article recites how little at
tention was paid to the first discovery
and early uses of natural gas in West
| Virginia. at was little dreamed
then" he says chat natural gas
would be an important factor in the
growth and development of the state
contributing prosperity not only to
the producer, but to the entire COM
munities that were supplied with this
luel anu Tile COuHIlco III WulCH IL was
produced"
Mr.. Robertson cites the cities Of
| West Virginia which have been de-
veloped by natural gas as:
Clarksburg Parkersburg
Charleston Huntington
Fairmont Warrington
Weston Grafton
! Morgantown Salem
Moundsville Cameron
New Martinsville Sistersville
when you consider" the article
continues, that the tax value of ma
tural gas and pipe line companies in
1905 was only $9,1O0,0O0 and that it
had grown to 1928, 506,191 in 1923,
it can be readily seen the importau1
place it holds in the states prosper
ity."
Mr.. Robinson cites other figures.
The tax valuation on all property
in West Virginia in 1904 was $278,-
829,659 and in 1923 it had reached
$3,1OS, 400 ,453.
Real estate in West Virginia was
valued at $168,4SO,150 in 1904 and
in 1923 the valuation was 1922, 1884,
an increase of 5000.
Personal property in West Vir-
! Gina was valued at $30,306,20 in
1904 and in 1923 it carried a valua-
tion of $433, 013, 426, or an increase
of 4279S.
Public utility property in West
Virginia was valued at $30,043, 300
in 1904 and in 1923 the valuation was
$453, 1872, 407, or an increase of 14O0ac.
Natural gas and pipeline compan-
les for this same period show an in
crease in valuation of 10000.
The taxable value of oil aind gas
producers not assessed by the board
of public works is included in the
real estate valuation and this is an
item Of considerable Importance in
the grand total Of tbis classification.
Mr.. Robinson points with pride"
to the fact that oil and gas producers
have paid very large part of the
tax bill of the State and thus have
made possible the social and edu-
cational developments of which all
West Virginians are justly proud"

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS
OPEN HERESY TRIAL
Affidavit Answers Few of 400 De-
fense Questions Designed to
Show Brown Right.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. May 29.-An
affidavit setting forth expected an
swers to few of the 40G-odd queries
at the start Of today's proceedings
in the trial Of Rt. Rev. William Nj.
Brown, former Protestant Episcopal
Bishop of Arkansas. 1t was in sup
port of the motion for continuance,
filed yesterday, which sought deposl-
tions from practically all bishops OF
the church, domestic and foreign.
The selected questions dealt with
generalities on the doctrine OF the
church. They brought out that the
defense, relying upon public utter
anceS and writings OF cIurch letters,
expected to show that many changes
had occurred in doctrine by changes
in the opinions of clergy, especially
in the last twenty-five years.
The lack Of any fixed authority to
make or change was discussed in the
fcnSe expected to prove by the bish-
ta king such things as the virgin
birth, bodily resurrection and ascen-
sion of Christ in a symbolic rather
than literal sense.
The defense said it expected church
leaders to reply negatively to queS-
tion as to whether God was an OBJ
jective reality. All of the 327 ques-
tons relating to fundamental inter
pretation of the Bible We're Jumped by
the affidavit into a general belief that
the consensus of opinion among edu-
Gated men rejected that method Of
explaining scripture.
