The Tomato Gamers.

Fincastle, Va, Oct. 1.-THE tomato
Gamers Of this cOunty-and their name
Is legion-are about closing one of thell
most successful seasons. There are
about 125 plants in operation, and
they will averages 200 cases each, with
a net profit of at least fifty cents on

packer raises his own tomatoes. much
more than this. This shows up profit
to the Gamers of something like $780,
900 for this year.
Then the farmer who grows the
tomatoes; the women and children who
work in the factories, all make good
wages. 1t is valuable industry, and
a rapidly growing one.

Mr.. H. Clay Evans, former chief of
the Pension Burea, was roundly scored
last week by the nations wards when
the Grand Army met in Washington.
In closing their remarks on the Hon.
Il. Clay they said: ut cannot be ex-
pected that the pension laws will be
fairly construed and justly admins
tered in accordance with their spirit
and intent by those who treat every
applicant for a pension with distrust,
regard his attorney as a fraud, and
brand the examining surgeons as in

buncomb does not deceive anybody,

Hon. H. Clay Evans does, or did, not

honesty to express his convictions. |

them, their attorneys, nor the examin

NIB. MILES AND THE U. VA. PRESI-
DENCY.

There Is much pressure being brought
in favor OF Mr.. Geo. W. Miles to be
president of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, but as yet Mr.. Miles
has not been chosen, in fact his candi-
dacy has caused such a rumpus over
the State that many think it would
now be the worst possible act TO elect
him.
Mr. Miles is the head of what is
known as the st. Adams school located
at Radford, he is also accredited with
being the head of Ex-Governor Tyler,
also located at Radford. In many
respects Mr.. Miles lis said to be force
full man. He is said to be an orator Of
brilliancy, though oratory is not
counted 50 essential in these days of
prose and work. He is said to be a
scholarly man and fine instructor.
These would be very essential, espec-
tally the first. He has displayed re-
markable talent In the preparation OF
papers which Gov. Tyler has occasion.

was In regard to the shipment of an
thraclte coal from Wales. Whenever
there was talk of reducing the tariff on
coal hue and cry was raised by the

especially coal from Wales. Now 1t

output Of Wales for year would not
supply the United States for one
month. Yet even farmers and hard
coal users will vote a tariff on it.

Pittsburg diocese. Monsignor Conaty's
second term as rector of the university
is drawing to close. and 1t is said that
he would not be averse to such change
as the one which seems imminent.
The propaganda will have the two Of

the consultors and irremoyable rectors
and that of the bishops.
The first, with the exception of Rev.
William Kittell. is rot seriously enter
tanned, due TO the ages ard physical in

Fathers Tobin and Bush; the second. as
its weakness, paradoxical as IL may
seem. is IN its apparent strength. tine
consensus of the opinions OF the priests
is that the coadjutorship will come from
outside the diocese. This they say
means Mgr. Joseph F. Conaty. His
choice would allay all factioraiisin and
would be suitable to the bishops and
friends.

AMUSEMENT. NOTES.

The season at the National Theater
will be opened next Monday night with
'The Show Girl" one of the numerous
comedies that were presented in New
York during the spring. THE Show
Girl attained greater degree of pop
ularity. so it is claimed by the man
agement, than any of the other plays OF
a like character that appealed for the
patronage Of metropolitan theatergoers
for the three months 1t occupied the
stage of Wallack's Theater.
The original New York company will
be seen in the performance at the
National
