Paying Court Members Backed To Inspect County Roads
The legislature passes a bill to pay county court members monthly salaries for inspecting county owned institutions. Mercer will pay each of its three members between 85 and 100 dollars monthly. The old 200 dollar road inspection pay is eliminated. The aim is to attract businessmen by tying compensation to county population. The constitution allows a 2 dollar per diem if the board meets. The new law seeks to provide more than the per diem for the court’s duties.

Opinions of Other Editors on Nat T Frame and Prohibition Debates
The Morgantown New Dominion argues Nat T Frame’s dismissal from the university extension division followed alleged irregularities and improper lobbying for private farm interests. It predicts the division will thrive without him and warns West Virginia farmers aren’t duped by the episode. The Charleston Mail notes The Fairmont Times supports prohibition repeal for economic reasons, while criticizing past coverage of similar campaigns. The Wheeling Intelligencer defends bottle industry campaigning as a legal issue tied to revived liquor consumption and societal impact.
