months off-and that it will prove
totally inadequate is a foregone con-
clusion.
Only yesterday DR.. Klopsch in be-
half of The Christian Herald cabled
another hundred thousand dollars,
which means life to just that many
people-for another month. Think ct
it, hundred thousand men, women
and children in India saved from star
walton for whole month, through a
single remittance from the country of
the Stars and Stripes Was there
ever so unselfish a charity as this for
people we shall never see and whose
very thanks in language strange to
us shall never reach our ears? Truly
this is Christlike charity and unless
every word of the Bible be untrue ths
good people OF our own country will
not 60 without the blessings promised
those who consider the poor.
But famine's deplorable work still
continues. Only last month man at
Thana, g relief station 25 miles from
Bombay, was arrested for having bur-
led alive his two children. His story
was pitifully sad. He and his wife and
two children went to the Relief works.
There his wife died. He himself
caught the fever. He could not shake
it off. At last driven to despair he
took his two children one night
and left the station. His sufferinge
were fearfully Intensified by thoee OF
his little ones. They finally reached
point where they could walk nc
longer. Death was staring him in the
face. If he did not get where help
could be found, they must all perish
Hia children helpless, unable to con.
tinue the journey, blocked his progress
He dug grave, threw them in and
filled it up. The fever had made him
irresponsible and the Government viii
probably act len1ently in his case, but
the incident demonstrates the fearfu
depths which the helpless famine
victims have reached during this ter
rible dispensation of Providence.
In recent interview DR.. Klopscl
said that he was under an everlasting
obligation to the press of this countr,
for their hearty cooperation in this
great work !; and that India could new
or repay the debt she owes to Ameri
can journalists. During his stay il

Just now one of the questions upper
most in the minds of the farmers is
whether they shall sell cotton or hold
for higlsr prices.
As is always the case there are diff.
ferences OF opinion about what is best
One man says the prospects are so fire
for better prices he believes it will be
wise in farmers to hold. Another says
prices are too good to take chances and
he thinks it wise to sell.
We heard a man say to Judge Eure
of Norfolk On the train few days age
that he has always made 1t rule tc
sell cotton as soon as he can get it
baled. Judge Eure replied that TAX
ing ten years together the man vi "
always sells as soon
rcsssr, will come CIT ahead CT the :nca
who sometimes sells early and some
times holds. This year, it would seem
to be a question for each man to settle
according to his necessities or conveil-
fences. It does really look like there
is a chance for still better prices.

While there is no smallpox of any
consequence in Halifax county, or in
North Carolina anywhere, still The
COMMONWEALTH prints the following
item from the Bulletin of Virginia
State Board Of Health, to show the
soundness OF our position on the sub
iect of vaccination, which we advocated
last winter. The item says:
"We regret to record the death of DR..
Lynch Kersey, OF Floyd county, from
smallpox of malignant type, at bis
homa near Macs Mountain, about
twenty miles from the county seat:
Smallpox had been prevailing in this
section of the country for some weeks,
DR.. Kersey having some OF these pa
tients in charge, and 1t was while a.
tending them that he was stricken
down with this loathsone disease.
"In a letter to US announcing DR..
Kersey's death it is said that he had NO
faith in vaccination, was opposed to it,
and had never allowed himself or any
member Of his family to be given
this protection. In the same letter, des'
cr,b,ne the condition of affairs in Floyd
county and DIR. Kersey's case particu,
larly, the writer says that just short
time prior to his death, and before his
reason was clouded, he turned to the
physicians standing at bis bedside and
left as dying request that his family
he yaccinated. It is sad to relate that
hjs opinion on this vital subject
changed too late, and had he taken the
protection offered by vaccination, he
might be living to-day and filling use
fn] and honorable position in the cir
Gle in which he moved. Alas! he
changed his mind too late procrastlna-
ton cost him his life. This should %

tion. and the profession should picture

DELEGATION IS SOLID.
BUETNER SAYS THEY WILL SUP
PORT LACEY BILL.

All the Minnesota congressman and
both senators have written Executive
Agent Beutner their assurances of sup-
port for the Lacey bill now pending be-
fore congress. The measure seeks to
supplement state laws in the matter of
game protection, putting the matter III
the hands of the secretary of agriculture,
and will give a uniform law that will
be applicable all over the country
The Minnesota delegation has given Mr..
Reutner and the members of the state
game and fish commission promise of
their cordial support of the measure
Heretofore state authorities have found
difficulty in enforcing laws regarding the
shipping of game in and out Of the states
and in many cases the laws covering
netghboring states have not been uniform
and sportsmen would merelse have to go
over the state line to be within the
bounds of the law during the closed
season in one state.
Mr.. Beutner said yesterday:
Early during the session Judge Lacey
introduced the bill and ii has been favor,
ably reported upon by the committee
upon interstate and foreign commerce.
The bill ds quite wide in its scope and
not only protects game from wanton
destruction, but provides for the restora-
ton of game and song birds In parts of
hunted out. The bill gives the secretary
power TO prevent the unwise Introduction
of foreign birds and animals. The bill
includes uniform set of laws and will
greatly assist US here in Minnesota as
well as Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, North
and South Dakota. Heretofore game
killed in other states has given the COM
mission a great deal of trouble, owing to
the fact that game killed in another state
h.a
sion man is able to ship game from Min
nesota to New York without having it
seized, it is comparatively safe from
seizure there, as it was killed in another
state and local laws do not apply.
Every true sportsman will approve OF
the bill as it contains nothing that would
harm legitimate sports, and the only op-
position, If there is any, would come
from the people who carry on a traffic
in game killed out of season. The cons
mission favors the bill and if it becomes
a federal law it Will do perhaps as much
for tho future protection of game in the
Northwest as any one measure that
could be passed.
I'm substance, the bill will prohibit in>
terstate commerce in game and gives us
a law which will supplement our state
laws. l think sportsmen all over the
country are taking an interest in the bill
and great many petitions are being sent
to Washington, urging its passage. l
have no doubt that the New York Game
Protective association, as we'll as sports
mems organizations in other states Will
urge their members in congress to help
make the bill law.
IF We can stop the shipment Of game
we have the whole problem solved As
soon as we have a federal law which
prohibits an interstate commerce in game,
we will have the pot-hunting business
pretty well broken up"

NHEN 70 CLOSE SCHOOLS
TEACHERS WILL ASK SCHOOL
BOARD TO DECIDE
TODAY
CURIOUS ABOUT SALARIES
They Do Not Favor the Plan of
Teaching without Receiv-
ing Salary Therefor
at All.

"A committee from the Teachers fed
Grafton will wait upon the school board
at its meeting this afternoon with refer
ence to the matter of salaries and keep
ing the schools open for the full term
of forty weeks or ten months They will
put a number of questions to the board
of interest and Importance to every
teacher in the city schools and will ask
that the board tell them just where their
salaries are to come from after the cur
rent appropriation is exhausted It Is
estimated that with the exception Of two
weeks the funds now at the disposal of
the school board will run the schools for
the full term. 1t has been suggested by
the board that the teachers go ahead and
teach the two weeks to fill out the full
school year and then sue the city for
the balance due.
1t was stated by prominent member
of the federation yesterday that the
teachers are weary of suing the city, and
further stated that without exception the
teachers were decidedly opposed to going
into the courts again.
The committee will ask the board
whether the schools will close May q,
June l, or June 10, that all may know
just what to expect. Teachers have sued
the city twice for back salary, and on
account of the arbitrary position taken
by Comptroller McCardy Just before
Christmas the federation was compelled
to appeal to the courts before they could
receive their past due salary
The situation which confronts both the
school board and teachers at this time is
brought about by the comptroller's refusal
to transfer the $4,000 insurance fund to
the general fund The city council direct
ed Mr.. McCardy to make this transfer,
and he has refused to comply, taking the
ground that the money can only be used
for buildings.

SUMMONED WRONG AHERN
FORMER POLICE COURT CLERK
HAS LAUGH ON SOMERBY.

AS the result of ridiculous mistake,
James j. Ahern will doubtless not be
compelled to answer the charge of the
state dairy commissioner of appropriating
$55 collected in fines while he was clerk
of the municipal court.
Assistant Attorney General Somerby
had a summons served on J. ]. Ahern,
living at 1872 Iglehart street and when
Mr.. Ahern appeared in court the mis-
take was discovered. The state was sur
prised, and motion was made by Attor-
ney Hickey to have the case dismissed,
which Justice Mills will decide.
In the event that this suit is dismissed
then no suit against the original Ahern
can obtain, for the reason that the stat
ute OF limitations began to run March
26 Of this year, six years having elapsed
since the acts complained Of were COM
mitted. Any summons after that date
would be of no avail. This is the con-
tention of the defense.
