WEST VIRGINIA BAR ASSOCIATION.

The twenty-third annual meeting was held at New Martinsville, December 31, 1907, and January 1, 1908.

The President, J. Hop Woods, of Philippi, delivered an address on "The Evolution of the Law of Options," dealing with the rights of respective parties in West Virginia to offers to purchase before and after acceptance, and more especially with reference to coal options.

The Association adopted, after debate, resolutions favoring laws: That lienors should be made parties to partition suits; for salary instead of fee system for county officers; and for a direct primary election law.
