| STATE NEWS [
Saturday a week ago, at the Pittsburgh
quarries near Martinsburg, the
men in charge of a battery of blasts
were not a little awed at a manifestation
of infiniteness in a play of lightning.
Quite a battery was to have been
fired. Everything was prepared and
the next step would have been the
man to touch the button tbat would set
off the blast. In the meantime the electrical
storm had become so Intense that
the foreman called the men away from
that spot. Whether It was premonition
on his part or not it was a fortunltous
circumstance for a bolt of
lightning set off the battery and a terrific
explosion ensued that would have
resulted in injury and perhaps the
death of some of the workmen. It can
now be said, Bays the Martinsburg Journal,
that the men are exceedingly careful
during a storm.
Plans are being made for an official
review of the Second West Virginia
Regiment of the National Guard at
Camp Kanawha by Governor Cornwell
and the other members of the
state board of public works, including
Auditor John S. Darst, Treasurer
W. S. Johnaon. Secretary of State
Houston Q. Young, Superintendent of
Schools M. P. Shawkey, Commissionei
of Agriculture James H. Stewart and
Attorney General E. T. England. The

Miss., probably the latter part of this |
week or the first of next, The exact ]
date for the review has not been set!
of ing to the absence for a day or two1
of one or two members of the state officials.
Miss Elizabeth Hoge, of Morgantown, j
now has the official knowledge that
she is a citijen of West Virginia, in
which she Has been a teacher for a
number of years. She was given this
information in a letter from Attorney
General E. T. England, to whom she
bad written In regard to the matter.
She said her parents have always lived
In Pennsylvania, from which state she
came to West Virginia first to attend
the state university at Morgantown
and later to teach in the schools o(
that city. She said she supported herself
and wanted to know what she
must do to become a full-fledged citizen
of the state. She was informed
that she already is such a citizen of
West Virginia.
The Kanawha river experienced the
largest day in the coal trade yesterday
that has occurred for many months,
A total of 578,000 bushels of coal went
down the river. Dams Nos. 0, 10 and
11 were maneuvered to float out the
large amount of coal. Five boats towed
the product which was all from Kanawha
valley mines. The steamer "D. T.
Lane" towed nine barges and one flat;
"Plymouth," four barges and four
flats; "Cruiser," one flat; "Smith,"
four barges and three flats; "Admiral
Dewey," five barges and one flat; and
the "R. P. GUlam, 15 barges and two
flats. On account of the water being
low, It was necessary to lower the wickets
to let the boats out. The vessels
all went through without any trouble.
It fs an unusual amount of coal to be
transported in any one day. It shows
the volume of coal business being done
In the vicinity, says the Charleston
Mail.
Palpable Hit.
"What was that fellow kicking
about?" Inquired the restaurant proprietor.
"He complained because I gave
htm a soiled bill In his change," said
the cashier. "I shut him up, though."
"What did you say?"
"I told him I noticed he wasn't so
particular about his collar."?Birmingham

HIS IDEA OF HIS FUNCTIONS
From the Baltimore Sun.
We commend the firm atiiude ol the 1
New York District Exemption Eoard.
of which Mr. Charles C. Hushes is
chairman, to the emulation and Imitation
of similar boards elsewhere. The
slackers who come before him can expect
no Quarter. His Idea of his duty
Is that he has been appointed to help
the country get an army, not to help
: cowards to escape. He is 100 per cent.
I American, and he Is determined, so iar J
! as he has Anything to do with it, that ..
we f-hall have 100 per cent, service
from Americans.
There are few loopholes in the .
Hughes board. Wo hope It may turn ,
out that all are built on the same pattern.
