VII. LAKE L dI n W Eihlhos
A trip to Elkins last Monday by
way Of Thomas returning by way OF
Philippi and Grafton, well repaid the
drive of one hundred and siXty-odd
miles.
Killing frosts seemed not to have
.dimmed the beauty of the foliage. At
some points on the loWlands flowers,
here and there, were in bloom. The
pines and rhodedendrons still retained
the bright green of late summer. But
while all this, together with the Won
derful scenic beauty of the trip APP
pealed to our finer senses and renew
ed our belief in a God eternal, there
was yet another incident Of the trip
which made lasting impression. 1t
was a small thing, yet big in its con-
ception and object. Simply boxes Of
what had been blooming flowers on
the tops of the walls of the concrete
bridges leading to Elkins.
Some may depreciate this effort to
beautify the roadside as having no
practical value. Some may say that it
was simply the work of woman's
club or organization. We rather sur
mise that this is true Perhaps the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton or Daughters of the Confederacy
fostered the idea. But whoever or
whatever it was, did more than sim
ply appeal to the artistic side of the
traveller They or it advertised the
fact that there was group of Ell
kins people who had enough civic pride

the murder of Josiah Harden near
EIkins (now Germany, May Is, last,
The day was about as cold and bleak
as could be imagined. Snow to the
depth of nearly an inch fell during the
night. A cutting wind prevailed.
John Smith, aged 40, was a colored
boss on the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburgh Railway. Harden, the
murdered man, was a white shoe
maker. Smith had been drinking and
making threats and after visiting at
the house where Harden stayed in the
afternoon he left and did not return
until late in the evening, when the
shooting occurred.
He was captured at Winchester,
Va, on May 10. The trial of Smith
was heard at the September Term and
the prisoner was defended by Messrs.
Thomas j. Peddicord and H. Wheeler
Combs. States Attorney Veitch con-
Quoted the prosecution. He was found
guilty and was sentenced to death on

Escaped from Jail
Smith escaped from jail in October
after a fight with Jailer j. Crop, who
wounded him in the abdomen with a
knife. After spending the night in
Harness barn, located near the GEM
etery, Smith returned to the Jail and
surrendered as the wound inflicted by
the jailer had made him weak from
the loss of blood.
"He confessed to Rev. Benz. Ison,
Methodist Episcopal pastor, the morn

crowd estimated at three hundred and
fifty, gathered, but all they got was a
sight Of Smith as he was taken from
the Jail to the entrance leading
INTO the yard. The fence about the
jail yard was sixteen feet high. The
scatfold was erected by P. A. Chisholm
who had never seen a similar struc
ture.
LAS Smith walked to his execution
he smoked a cigar and assembled the
scafold without tremor. Beside

Comparisons Are Made.
Studying the situation microscopically
economists everywhere are asking them
selves whether the symptoms Of the
present general economic crisis are like
those of the critical periods in 1908,
1907 and 1920.
1t is true that crises are never alike
Precedin crises lasted at least nine
months. ending in drops Of 40 and IS
per cent in the rate of exchange. Thus
the present crisis In America Is one OF
the shortest duration.
Today one cannot repeat too often
that symptoms of world economic
crisis are far from being in evidence,
despite serious difficulties in Japan,
Great Britain and Germany. 1t seems
evident that the most dangerous point
Of the Bourse crisis has passed since
the recovery of Wall Street and since
London has passed through the Cape
financial embarrasSments ard the i'll
effects of the Hairy crash.
Some GrievouS Results.
Considerable financial losses In all
these countries undoubtedly will have
certain grievous results. especially on the
purchasing power of a certain part of
the population, more or less widespread,
according to the nature of the country's
financial woes. But the resumption of
industrial activities resulting therefrom
will soon make up for what seems really
only lack of earnings in the total Of
national fortunes.
One could, almost say the hardest part
Of the crisis already has been passed,
for it was considered abnormal and
immoral that part Of these populations
should live from what was called un-

healthy speculation. In most cases
money rates have fallen to moderate
levels, while capitalization and corpora
ton output rates increased to a con
siderable extent in consequence of the
falling of prices.
Redistribution of credit undoubtedly
is necessary. and it has become possible
since Wall Street is no longer attract
ing the whole worlds speculative capi-
tai. 1t ought to work out nationally, be-
cause people will try to place their
money where it will bring the best
profits. In 1880, when the Young plan
will be in force in Germany, Central
European nations will be enabled to OBJ
tan fresh credits. of which these coun-
tries have urgent need.
Installations Going On.
Finally, in all parts of the globe vast
installations are going on in ports, on
railways and in electric plants, and this
will demand capital, which is still super
abundant in the United States and IN
France, in order to exploit fields already
known or yet to be discovered. In the
infinite progression of the worlds de-
velopment the present crisis is simply
like case of children's growing pains.
Great steps forward, perhaps a little
too rapid, have been accomplished since
the World War, but in a few years
these will appear quite small in COM
pariSon with the great progress realiz-
lble within the next decade.

The above as taken from the state
ment of Mr.. j. H. Mooney. IL Vir-
pinia avenue, Clarendon, Va, con-
tinuing with his statement Mr..
Mooney, who is widely known in this
section, said: II saw so many state
ments in the papers about this
medicine that made up my mind
a few weeks ago to try 1t out myself,
as other medicines I used did not
help me at all. My stomach was in
a bad shape, food would not digest,
but instead lay in the stomach to
sour and ferment; gas formed,
seemed like lump in the pit of the
stomach and I suffered almost con-
slant pain from one meal to another.
I was very nervous and at night
would roll and toss for hours, unable
to sleep or rest. Then, too, was
always constipated. in fact the
bowels would not move unless used
a strong laxative. I always felt tired,
sluggish, worn out and some days
my stomach hurt so could hardly
work. When I started with this
Herb Extract I noticed that the first
few doses had soothing effect on
the stomach; also caused a natural
action of the bowels and before I had
used all of the first bottle felt bet
ter in every way. The continued
use of this medicine has completely
relieved me Of all my former health
troubles and I must admit 1t is the
greatest ever; food now agrees with
me, no more stomach disorders. I
sleep sound at night, get up feeling
rested and ready for a hard days
work. Miller's Herb Extract (for-
merly called Herb Juice. brings
quick relief, where other medicines
fail and I do not hesitate in recon-
mending it to every one for the above
trouble"
This great medicine is a herbal
preparation formerly called Herb
Juice), and Is the largest selling
medicine on the market where IL Is
known. Owing to the great demand
for MiIIer's Herb Extract in Washing
ton IL was necessary to place two
representatives here. These men are

Ry the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 30.-For IL
years members of the Cloth Examiners
and ShrinkerS Union have been giving
their president, Joseph MezZacapo, eX-
pensive presents, at his request. They
gave him $40, 900 to buy house when
he was married and $4,000 more a
year later to pay of. the mortgage.
They gave his mother $4,000. Christ
mas gifts cost $500. A few months
ago they bought him an $500 radio and
all the time they paid him 5000 week
as salary.
The union men did not seem to mind
the gifts. but when Mezzacapo ordered
an assessment to pay'income tax on Ihe
presents that had been given him dur
ing the past five years, his followers
baked. Today Mezzacapo was arrested
on a charge of extortion. The COM
plainant was Benjamin Trivis, who said
he gave $40 to help pay the income tax
under fear Of losing mis- job if he didn't
Other members have joined Trivis
and the complaints are piling UP
against Mezzacapo. He operated the
union under a State charter, because he
had been expelled twice from the Amer
