ApPTICATIONs FOR OFuIcE

APPLICATIONS FOR OFFICE.
The lucky, Or unlucky, gentlemen who
have been elected have been besieged by
applicants for Office. One, worn and weary
one, after listening to an hours impor-
tuning of one candidate. followed by one
or two of his friends expected to bring
influence" to bear, said he wished "the
applicant, the Office, and the whole city
government was in -" it is no use say
ing where. A proposition has been urged
to have caucus so as to make the thing
more binding" but as many members
have already committed themselves abso-
lutely, and as some of the Anti-Primary
Democrats. it is stated, will not agree to
enter into caucus under any circum-
stances, it seems most likely that the
applicants for position will have to 60 on
their own merits before the whole council
without the aid of combinations.

the powers of the Council in filling the vacan
cy now existing in the Office of Commissioner
of the Revenue for the city, and as to when
the present unexpired term will terminate
have examined the question and report as
follows:
The forty-second section of the City char
ter prescribes that the Commissioner of the
Revenue shall be elected by the qualified
voters of the city, and ''shall hold his office
for the period of two years, and until his
successor shall be elected and qualify" In
case vacancy occurs ''the city council shall
elect qualified person to fill said Office until
the next general election. when the vacancy
may be filled, by election, forsthe unexpired
term"
BY section 1 of chapter 2O6ssof Session Acts
1915, the term of Office of Commissioner of
the Revenue is made to continue for four
was elected for four years under the impress
sion that this provision governed. and that
the four years would have expired July LIST,
1885,
1t, in my opinion, makes no. difference in
the present case which law applies.
If the charter of the city governs, the office
should have been filled at the recent May cleo
ton, but as it was not the incumbent held
over until the election of his successor, which
could not take place until the next general
election, which occurs May, 1888.
If the State law applies the next election for
this Office will also be May, 1888.
So in either case The Council who alone
can fill the vacancy which has occurred, must
elect for the unexpired term or until the May,
1888, election.
Respectfully, &C.,

VERY MUCH THE FATTEsT,
and that thea had made at least 100 pounds
more gain during the aointer than o1ay other
cattle mpon the farm that acere fed upon dry
feed and the same quantity of grain. Esti-
mating this extra grain at five cents per
pound on 100 steers it shows profit of
$500 over dry feed in the condition of the
cattle alone, and to say nothing of the
saving in land; and much more than paid
the cost of his silo the first winter.
From our own experience and that of
many other practical farmers and stock
raisers, l sum up the following
CONCLUSIONS:
LIST. That ensilage is an economical
stock food, and that no stockraiser in
Virginia can afford to be without silo of
sufficient capacity to winter his entire
stock of cattle.
End. That it will keep cattle in a
healthier and thriftier condition than any
other forage, and is especially valuable fer
mich cows in that it
INCREASES BOTH QUANTITY AND QUAIL
TY OF THE MILK,
and that it is as far superior to dry food,
as is canned fruit to ordinary dried fruit.
5rd. That Indian corn will yield more
ensilage per acre than anything else, and
that one acre of good land planted in en-
silage corn. will ordinarily winter four
COWS.
4th. That the corn should be planted
as ear in the spring as convenient, in
drills three feet apart and thinned out, so
as not to leave mere than one stalk to
every six inches of space in the rows and
should be cultivated just as any other corn

A Bitter Fight.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 1.-THE
Louisville K Nashville and Queen &
Crescent systems have been involved
in bitter fight, which threatens the
destruction of the Southern Freight
Fool. There are about 200 car loads
OF iron shipped from Birmingham to
the furnaces of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company, on the line of the
Nashville u Chattanooga Road. The
Louisville q Nashville secured control
OF the shipment recently and by haul
ing the ore over a roundabout route
deprived their competitors of the bus
mess. BY some means the Queen &
Crescent again got hold of the busi-
ness last week, and with it a lively
fight.
They brought the ore to Chattanooga,
but the Nashville road would not re-
ceive the cars and deliver them to
their destination. An injunction was
obtained to force them to receive the
freight, but even that has not had the
desired effect. Two hundred car loads
OF ore cave been turned over to the
Nashville Railroad; they in turn
switched it out of their yard. The
fight is very bitter and the Louisville
& Nashville will withdraw from the
pool in order to engage in a rate wal
which may wreck the freight pool
In the meantime the officials OF the
road here will be arrested for con
tempt of court. Four furnaces will be
compelled to shut down for want 0
ore.

going to do on the 9Th of August
about being cheated cut of their del
egates to the Jonesboro convention?

nipulators of that Convention such a
rebuke, by voting for ST. John and
Burow, that they will not be willing
to undertake a job of that kind again
very soon.
VIII all the delegates that went to
JonesbOoo, vote the straight ticket
put out there?
Answer. No. They are not will
ling to be party to such a put up
Job.

voted for Hacker and Fain, with two
or three expectations, and they after

vote of Hawkins in the convention.

of the vote of Hawkins County and
gave IL to Brown and Campbell?
Answer Personal enemies Of Hack
