ADOPTED
FOR COORDINATION
The Report Will Be Made to
the Association in Stdun-
ton Next Month.

After a session extending through about
four hours the committee appointed BY
the Education Commission OF the Bap-
fist General Association of Virginia yes
terday completed the work of drafting
scheme for tho coordination Of the Bap-
fist schools and colleges of the State.
1t was decided by the committee to
make no publication of its results until
an official statement can be printed next
week in the Religious Herald, the organ
of the denomination. 1t Is gathered, how
ever, that this report will be practically
as predicted. 1t will by no means DO
elaborate, but will merely suggest and
recommend simple plan by means Of
which the schools may be brought int"
closer relation as under same alliance.
From this basis there will be gradual
movement to the coordination Of the
schools into a system Of which Richmond
College and the Womans College in this
city will be the head.
The committee will report to the COM
mission which will meet with the asso-
citation in Staunton next month. 1t was
composed of DR.. r. II. Pitt, Dr. w. r..
l.. Smith, DR.. w. Z. Hatcher DR.. F.

CONFORM, VA, Oct. THE agreement
entered into last Thursday by the Demo-
cratic candidates of King George to hold
n primary next Saturday has caused a
stir in some quarters, and 1t looks as II
matters are no less complicated than they
were before the primary was agreed
upon.
The Democrats held mass meeting
early In August and voted against noml-
nations and primaries, and decided IN
favor of free for-all" fight. Soon
afterwards there were three Democratic
candidates in the field for the office of
treasurer and two for the office Of COM
missioner of the revenue, against one
Republican candidate for each of these
offices.
Many believed that this state Of affairs
would result in easy victory for the Re
publicans, and urged a primary as the
only means of reducing the number OF
Democratic candidates to one for each
opposed nominations and primaries are
office. Hence the candidates 'fgot to-
gether' last Thursday and agreed to sub
NIT their claims to a primary.
Some Of the Democrats who originally
now indignant because their favorites
agreed to a primary at this late day.
They argue this way: That the Repun-
lican candidates in the field are not
regular nominees. and therefore could
not poll the Republican vote; that a
great many Republicans had signified
their intention of supporting certain of
the Democratic candidates. but since Re-
publicans will not be allowed to vote In
the primary, they will feel aggrieved
.;lt, fnr tS oft the
regular election in November.
These dissatisfied Democrats contend
that a free for-all fight, as first agreed
upon, would have resulted in bringing
many Republicans to the Democratic side
this fall and that the primary, wnlch
will exclude them now. will go a long
way towards again uniting the Repuh-
lcans and towards the building up OF a
white Republican party in the county.

GOVERNOR
In CRAYSON.
Makes an Address at Open

(SpcClal 10 Line
INDEPENDENCE. VA, Oct. 1.-Gray-
son County Fair was opened here yes
terday at II A. NJ. by Governor Monta-
que. The Governor was introduced by
Judge j. c. Padgett. Between three
and four thousand people greeted him as
he advanced to the front Of the stand.
He was In fine trim. and after compli-
menting the people of Grayson, discussed
internal improvements In general way,
dwelling especially upon education as the
pillar of free government and the high
est hope of our people.
Flo would have the system of public
education so perfected as to meet the
varied needs OF our population and Sc
cure the greatest moral, intellectual and
spiritual growth of Virginia and tho
country at large. He showed clearly that
the intelligence and virtue Of the masses
Is due to education, and that the first
duty of the State is the teaching of Its
citizens.
GOOD ROADS.
He discussed the necessity Of good roads
and showed that transportation IS the
greatest question Of commerce, and that
our people pay an enormous tag by
way Of eNInnse in transporting products
to the nearest market and that good
roads would greatly reduce this burden.
EIe advocated permanent improvements
rather than temporary improvements "
public roads.
That part of his address to the old
soldiers was most pathetic and touching,
as was plainly evident by the tears which
filled the eyes of many. He referred
TO the marvellous achievements of Vir-
gnla's past and the possibility OF her
future and expressed himself as highly
pleased with tho splendid exhibits OF the
farmers and stock growers of the county,
as we'll as the handiwork OF the ladies.
All in all, his speech was mastery and
thoroughly educative. 1t would not be
saying too much to rank 1t as one of
the ablest speeches that has ever been
heard in the county of Grayson
The fair IS fully up to the standard,
and it is thought that five thousand
people passed through the gates to-day,
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather.
