Honor the Dead Hero.
| TEXAS CONGRESSMAN
Will Be the Orator of the Occasion.
Committee of Veterans Issue an
Address--Ladies to Serve Dinner
in the Camp Room.

AS already mentioned, the anniver
sary on Friday, the 10Th inst. of Gen
kobert E. Lees birthday is to be ap
propriately celebrated in this city un
der the auspices of Stonewall jackson
Camp, Confederate Veterans. At the
public exercises in the Opera House
beginning at 1920 a. m., the annual
address will be delivered by Congress
man Samuel w. T. Lanham, of Texas
The usual charge for admission hal
been dispensed with, but the object
for which it has been made is not lost
sight Of, and it is expected to meet the
necessary expenses of the speaker and
the hall, and also to raise some funds
to enable the relief committee of the
camp to extend assistance to need '
comrades by such voluntary contribu :
tions as may be made at the time, and
by the proceeds of dinner to be serv-
ed in the camp hall at the close of the
exercises at the price of 25 cents for
the dinner or for oysters.
The object should appeal to all, as
the camp does not help its members
only. Pensions of a few dollars an
nually are confined by the state law
to soldiers who were wounded, maim-
ed or disabled in the service. There
are many old Confederates. tried and
true, advanced in years, broken, in
health, wanting food, clothing and fuel
in these severe winter months, and too
proud to seek charity. Friendly assist
ance is debt we owe them. It is pro-
posed that the dinner shall be a good
thing in itself, and committees have
been appointed to secure contribu-
tions of provisions for the occasion, es
pecially cooked meats, butter, pickles,
etc, to be delivered at the camp hall
on the evening OF the 18th or early On
the 10Th instant.

Favorable to the Fertilizer Bill.

EDITOR THE SPECTAToR:-Believ
ing there is some misapprehension as
to the results of the recently enacted
fertilizer law, increasing the price of
fertilizer to the farmer. wish to state
few facts in regard to it. In the first
place, when the fertilizer manufactur-
er makes up his prices for his goods
he adds in as items of cost everything
that enters Into the manufacture of
the particular brand, and to this be adds
the highest tax he has to pay In any
State in which the goods are to be sold.
Now, North Carolina has had for some
years tonnage tax Of 25 cents. The
majority Of manufacturers who sell in
North Carolina also sell in Virginia,
and as one or more manufacturers tes-
titled before the legislative committee
that they sold the same brand at the
same price in both States, therefore it
follows that the Virginia farmer has
already been paying this 25 cents per
ton tax for some years. The fertilizer
manufacturers fought this bill very
hard because it will require them to
pay back to the Department of Agri-
culture Is of the 25 cents they have
been getting as clear profit, since the
North Carolina tax was levied. This
law should not increase the price of
fertilizer to the Virginia farmer, be-
cause he is already paying 25 cents per
ton and has been doing so for some
years, by reason of the North Carolina
tax.
No doubt the manufacturers will say
they had to increase the price, because
of the tax imposed, but it is well
known they increased the price of fer
tilizer several dollars per ton month
before the tonnage tax bill was present.
ed in the Legislature, and such an in
crease is hardly necessary to cover a
small tax of Is cents per ton. Every
Southern State has tonnage tax law,
and so long as our sister States keep
up their tax we may expect to pay
about the same in Virginia, whether
we have a tonnage tax or not. There.
fore we had as well get some of it back
for the maintenance of our Agricultu-
raj Department., which should now by
reason of sufficient support. become of
useful Importance to the farmers of
the State.
There is also move on foot to take
the appointment of the Commissi oner
out of the hands of the Governor and
electing by the Legislature. This
would make the Office more OF less a
political one, and if any change is
made, it should devolve upon the
Board of Agriculture to appoint the
Commissioner. This Board is nom
political and composed of practical
farmers from every section of the
State. who would certainly known the
duties re- 4uired OF the Commissioner
and elect one suited to the work.
Respectfully,
JAMES r. KEMPER.

INDIANAPOLIS SOUTHERN
A STRONG LINE Is EXTENDING AS
sIsTANCE TO THE ENTERPRISE.
Union station Train Sheds Inadequate
Ticket scalpers In Earnest.

There Is no longer any question as to
Indianapolis having within the next eight
cen months a new and important road, the
indianapolis Southern. While securing the
right OF way from the Union tracks to the
city limits and having secured a large por-
ton Of the right of way 10 the Ohio river,
IL now has backing that settles all doubt
as to the road being built. The same syndi-
cate that is interested in the aggressive
methods Of the Illinois Central has taken
az interest, so far as financial aid Is
needed. in the indianapolis Southern. This
is considered a master stroke for the ILL
rois Central, enabling that road to reach
Indianapolis over so direct a line. con-
Meeting with many roads that will be val
liable feeders to the Illinois Central for it's
Southern lines, and in turn being valuable
outlet for the business OF the Illinois Cen
trail to Northern markets which can be
directly reached via Indianapolis. While
the road will be built more to give railroad
facilities 10 portions of southern Indiana
which have now none passing through fine
farm and timber lands, stone quarries and
coal mines. 1t will, in connection with the
Illinois Central, become an important part
OF great north-and-south through line.
The fact that strong a syndicate Will
aid local business men interested in the en-
terprise assures its success.

SANTRY KNOCKED OUT.
Oscar Gardner Did the Trick with a
Blow I'm the stomach.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May eddie San
try. of Chicago, was knocked out by Oscar
Gardner before the Nonpareil Athletic
Club tonight in the presence of crowd
that packed Music Hall. Sporting men
from all parts of the country, who are
here in attendance at the races, saw the
bout. George Sier, of Chicago, refereed
the fight. The fight was a fast one, and,
while the honors were not materially in
Santry's favor. he had somewhat the bet
ter of the argument up to the time Gard
ner landed the knockout. His superior
reach and height enabled him to use both
right and left with effect on the Omaha
kids face and body. and he would have
kept out of harms way but for Gardeners
rushes. which he began early in the game.
Santry landed frequently with both right
and left, and Gardeners face gave evidence
of the Chicago boys jabs.
In the fifth round Gardner took on addi-
tional steam. and from the tap of the gong
he kept at Santry, using both hands on
the latter's body. When the round was
about half over they came together and
Gardeners right shot with full force into
Santry's stomach. The hands of the latter
went up and he fell over in heap on the
floor. He was carried to his corner, and IL
was several minutes before he had revived
sufficiently to be taken from the ring.
Santry was unscratched. He said il was
chance knockout and that II was landed
when he felt that he had the fight In hand.
