ResoIutIOns Of Prince Edmard Farmers.

The farmers of Prince Edward IN
their Tobacco Protective Association at
Il recent meeting held in Famyille,
adopted the following resolutions,
which, if carried out, Will bring about
a great change Of conditions in the
country:
We, the Advisory Board Of the To-
bacco Growers Protective Association
of Prince Edward county, Va most
earnestly recommend,
lst That in the present depressed
condition of farmers they make a
thorough change In their manner Of
farming, and IN the future, work on
the more intensive plan, concentrating
labor, fertilizers, &c, on fewer acres,
and endeavor TO produce from these
few what We have heretofore produced
from the many. We are at present
confronted by situation unparalleled
In our history and are forced 10 change
our modes of farming IN order to meet
our changed surroundings
2nd. Your committee earnestly urges
the diyersifying of crops; first, besure
TO make bread, meat and forage enough
at home, and If possible some to spare,
for We can no longer buy these things

possible 10 do strictly cash business
and In every way use the strictest econ

selves a degree of independence, which

There is more Cattarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by + j. Cheney x Co,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. Ii is taken intern
ally in doses from 10 drops to a teas
poOnful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucuous surfaces Of the system.

case il fails to cure. Send for circulars

WANT ROOM
COUNTY OFFICIALS KICKING
ON cRAMPED QUARTERS.
Commissioners Are Up Against
Serious Problem of Taking
Care of Increased Bust
ness in Offices.

There Is the most crying need for
more room in the court house, II
county ofiicials can ever be said to be
crying for anything. There Is not
an ONCE In the whole building that
does not need more room, unless 1t
be the janitor's and ne has no par
ticular place that he calls bis own,
but goes about the entire building,
sort Of living Oh the charity OF Others
In the matter Of space to put himself.
The need is perhaps the greatest
in the county judges room, which
as has already been mentioned here.
consists OF only one small room for
all purposes. The sheriff's office
next to the county judges Office also
consists Of one small room, and it is
seldom thai those who have business
with the sheriff which often requires
privacy, can have this. The county
clerk Is little better situated fct
space, but even there twice the room
could be used to good ADVANTAGE.
The commissioners are not in their
room continuously, so that they are
fairly we'll liked.
In the treasuIer's office there are
always tf7cee peIsOns at work and
sometimes four. The passages be-
tween desks there are so narrow that
it Is almost necessary to go out into
the hallway to turn around. They
tlave two rooms there now, q small
Foon IN the southeast corner OF the
building having been pressed into
service Tor the bookkeepex, In order
that he may have little quiet.
The only Office IN the basement is
that OF the assessor, who has two
small rooms in the northwest corner.
Mos, Of the time there are three
men working there, and while they
could use more room to good advan-
tage do not fnd themselves crowded
as are some other offices In the build
ing.
On the second floor is the district
court room- This seems to be the
only room in The building in which
space vas not economized. OF course,
there are many occasions when this
room is flied, as it is the only public
hall where people Can meet without
paying hall rent, SO that 1t would
not be just fair to the people to cut
down this room any The judges are
asking for private room where they
Can holds chamber sessions IL neces
sary There is no such space avail
able now, however. The Jury room
which adioins the court room and Is
about the only place that could be
used, cannot be spared from it's pres
ent purpose, The county engineers S
office could perhaps be moped into
the basement and that room used for
something else But If any change
occurs here, the room will probably
be used for toilet room. The
connty superintendent of schools has
no room to spare, if indeed he has
enough. 1ae district court clerk is
in no better shape.
Taking everything into considera-
tion, the county commissioners, who
are the trouble bureau OF the county
are properly up against it, and while
they are figuring upon improvements
it is d lhicut to see how this is going
to be dcne. unless they add another
story to the building and put in an
elevator for convenience or sell the
property and put up an entirely new
building.
