northeast of Harlem. a large area of
range land is covered with ice and
crusted snow which renders the grass
inaccessible to stock of all kinds. The
situation Is growing serious and several

chinook is said to have caused the sur
plus of water which is now frozen.

EAST RADFORD, VA, September ID
(Special)-The campaign will be opened In

voters from Judge William +. Rhea, OF
Bristol, and from that time the fight Will
be on. The Republicans. I'm their conven-

the country is TO be congratulated on the
evidences of a return of prosperity. ana
praise the Republicans for framing Con-
stitution Incorporating a provision for free
schools The resolutions claim that IL was
due TO the influence OF . Republican IN
the Legislature. Hon. David Riner, that
the experimental station was established

hoping that IL will counteract the in1u-
ence OF the fact nat II was due 10 Sehe-
raj G.. c. Wharton. Democratic nominee
for the Legislature, that Blacksours |o'-
lege was placed at Backsburg, by act
approved March 10, 1872, and also an act
approved March q. 1874. providing Tor the
erection of additional buildings for the
Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical COL
lere. This last act carried with il an APP
preparation OF $4,000 per year for three
years. The claims that IL was due to- Mr.
Riner that the station was established at
Blacksburg IS Just a little far-fetched, Tor
the measure was fought out In Demo-
cratic caucus, and carried, and MT. hlher,
who belonged TO The minority, did what
most any representative would nave done
under like circumStances-he voted for IL.
General Wharton was In the Legislature
from 1871 to 1874, while Mr.. Riner was
there in 1887.
In your last Sundays issue you SAID
that General Wharton was nominated TOT
the Senate, when i-should have been LOT
