lie was in no sense employed by or under
the direction OF either Of the societies,
but was employed by me for the purpose
OF obtaining data In relation to the guam
tity and quality OF milk from different
herds and from individual animals and
this office now has much valuable data
that will be published and Is entirely
new in its nature. MIR. Gowell or no
other state college official has ever got any
money directly or indirectly from the
board of agriculture except his actual
travelling expenses when emrIoyed in the

W. H. Moody to the Farmers National
Congress would say that MIR. Moody was
the president OF the board. that 10 had
been thought desirable to have a repre-
sentative or the state. pre- sent at this con-
gress and that Mr.. Moody agreed to go II
he should be appointed By the governor
and to use his best efforts to learn every
thing OF value and to give 1t to the
board at its annual meeting. His address
was one of the most interesting features
OF ths meeting OF that year. The sum
paid MIR. Moody was less than half his
actual expenses.
There has never bsen any account
charged up that was not incurred. and
no bill has been charged up for several
times more than the bill paid In refer
ence to MIR. Gllbert's statement that In
my report to the legislature two years
ago there are items charged to the state
that were never incurred, 1 will say at n
time has money been charged to tho
state for anything which did not carry an
obligation with it. Occasionally, when
ON the work of the Board, the secretary
and the members were entertained by
friends, and this entertainment they have
reciprocated at their own expense. They
occasionally go out OF their way to accept
this entertainment at tine earnest solicit
tation OF the parties rendering 1t, and
have been frequently told that this enter
tainment was for them and not for the
state. This view of the case has been
taken until within the past two years.

stopped from the fact that 1t was seen
that 1t might lead to unfavorabls criti-
oism.
''In the matter of the payment OF pre-
miums. 1 am free to say, and the records
In my office will show that there have
been small matters overlooked, but these

Conferences on The Subject in London
and Berlin.
Prolonged Occupancy
Threatened.
This United States Has Sought
To Avoid.

Washington, January 9.-The lengthy
conference held by Ambassador Choate
with Lord Landsdowns. British minister
OF foreign affairs ana Am bassador White
with Bacon Won Riohthofen, German
mini ster for foreign affairs as briefly re-
ported by cable, related to the proposition
made by the United States for the remov-
al OF the two subjects OF indemnity and
commercial treaties from Pekin 10
Washington or rome other foreign capital
for negotiation before an international
commission. 1t appears, however, that
the Berlin understanding that MIR. White
submitted proposal for the withdrawal
OF troops from China as soon as the CHI
ness government accepts all OF the ar.
ticles OF the joint note except thoEe reiat-
ing to indemnity and commercial treaties
is rather an inference from the proposal
and not part OF the proposal itself. The
United States has from the outEet sought
to avoid a.proIonged occupancy OF Chi
ma by the foreign forces This desire has
become emphasized OF late as the refusal
OF China 10 sign raised a direct issue
with the 'irrevooable'' terms of the pow
ers, threatening tn bring on prolonged
occupancy OF Pekin and other parts of
tine empire For this reason 1t is believed
that Mr.. White may have directed atten-
ton to the desirability of withdrawal,
but in any event this has BEEN more In
the nature of conversation on measures
of exuediency and not direct PROPOSE
ton.

Virginia's Good Credit.

Last Friday, for the first time
probably since the days CT recon
struction, Virginia security sold
on the open market at 100 cents or
the dollar. Virginia Century bonds
brought 100 in Richmond, as
against SO, cents on the dollar less
than ten years ago.
Speaking of this splendid rise
and of the consequent renewed
faith in the States credit, Mr.. John
L. Williams, Of the prominent bank
inc firm of Williams & Sons, Rich
mond, says:
"Citizens Of Virginia note with
great deal OF pride and satisfac-
ton the prices at which tie
State Of Virginia bonds are now
selling. The Virginia Century or
3 per cent. bonds, which five years
ago sold around 80, are today quot
ed at 1G0. United States Govern
ment 3's are only quoted at 8 points
above State Of Virginia 3 per cent.
bonds. This Of course, indicates
the highest credit for the State. 1t
is a well known fact that debt
held at home is the safest debt and
one surest to be paid that can he
held at all.
"Virginians have been steadily
investing in their own State bonds
from the date of their issue. until
now probably - to 80 per cent. Of
the entire issue Of Virginia Century
bonds aud Virginia Riddleberger
bonds have been returned to TINS
State from England, Holland, and
New Yori;, where formerly they
we're so largely held.
"Of course rise from 80 to lOO
in FIVE years means that the CON
servatiye investors OF 1856 nave
not only gotten 2 and 3 per cent;
interest on their money over all
taxes, but they have made a profit
of 100 on their Virginia bonds
which they have held from 1886 to
1861. -
The increase in the value o!
State bonds is a proof Of the fact
that the citizens of the State at
large have been enjoying their tuil
share Of The era Of prosperity Which
hns blessed the country III the past
four years and there is no portion
Of the United States which has
shown more healthy development
than the State Of Virginia.
