History" by j. a. c. Chandler and Q.
p. Chitwood, have already been widely
adopted for use In public schools. They
are most attractive histories of Virginia
and of the United States. presented IN tho
form of biographical sketches. These
books seem to have much to do with
Dr. Chandlers present action. They were
prepared for Silver, Burdett &; CO., and
ever since their publication, ]. this we'll
known firm has been urging the brilliant
young author to relinquish his profess
sorship and to accept the chief position In

When asked for statement about the

that he had received 1t with profound re-

one OF the strongest men in our faculty

Gators in Virginia. Ills work at the Wo-

fessor and dean, at tho Richmond Acad-
envy, in the Virginia Schools of Methods,
in the Virginia Historical Society, on the
State Library Board, and as lecturer and
author, as we'll as his work at Richmond
College, have made him we'll known in
Virginia and the South. The vacancy
he leaves in college and academy will
be hard to fill and the loss to the gene
raj educational interests Of the State Will
hardly be less than to these institutions.
I shall miss him exceedingly, for DR..
Chandler has ever proved a wise coun-
sellor and joyous burden bearer In
every forward movement at Richmond
College. We shall also miss his family,
for he and his charming wife have made
their home q center of social interest III
the college community"
The trustees of Richmond College meet
juno 14th, and at that time DR.. Chand-
tlers resignation will be presented. 1t
will, OF necessity, be accepted and steps
will be taken at once to supply the va
cancy. AS President Boatwright says.
his departure from Richmond Will every
where be felt as a great loss.

sTAUNTON, VA, May 1.-THE big
cooking main, which took place last Sat
urday at Burketown. this county, has
created considerable stir In the county
and city, and it Is rumored that spe-
cial grand jury will be summoned for the
purpose Of indcting those participating
in tho fight. The latest information Is
to the effect that the fight was pulled
off in large barn owned by Presby-
terrain deacon, who after the fight, fur
nished luncheon to the assembled multi

Harrisonburg and Richmond chickens.
and the largest gathering Of sports that
ever witnessed cooking main in this
neighborhood was present.
1t Is said that over a thousand dollars
changed hands on the fight, and that a
considerable amount Is now tied up In the
hands of the shareholders who are hold
ing the money because of the protest.
against the decision in the last fight,
wherein a dead bird was declared the
