Again, this court falls on Thursday, and
there are no Others In the State that day,
so unless the candidates go to King
George they will lose the day, SO far as
speaking Is concerned.
The county has been strewn with hand-

speak. and Mr.. Martins coming is hardly

Tho Organization Committee, composed
of Messrs. William Todd, II. A. Glllix.
Clemens c. Jones, Egbert G. Leigh, Jr.,
Melville Branch and Jonathan Bryan,
had the plan we'll in hand. and 1t looked
as though Richmond would have a coun-
try club. OF which the whole community
would feel proud. 1t was determined by
the committee thatit would be necessary
to raise $500 In order to carry out the
scheme, and this amount had been se-
cured. Mrs. Young. through her
local representative, offered West-
brook and % acres OF land to the
committee for $500. and agreed 10
take $500 Of bonds secured By the
property. The committee made her
a cash offer OF $4,000 for West
brook" and 1872 acres of land adjoining
1t, which would have taken IN " acres
along the Brook Road behind West
brook. known as the Jefferson Garden.
ut was necessary to secure this addit-
ional land in order to lay out an Is hole
golf course. AS Mrs. Young had never
been offered more than $4,000 until
this time. there was no idea but that she
would accept the offer OF $4,000 made
by the committee.
Declines to Sell.
A letter was received yesterday, how-
ever, from Mrs. Young. stating that she
declined the offer made, and that she
had withdrawn the property from the
market.
1T is no longer for sale Why the
property has been so suddenly With
drawn. is "a question that no member Of
the committee could answer. They have
abandoned their plans. after carrying
them nearer success than any other conf
mittee working for this same object
It Is said that the electric railway line
to Ashland will pass through West
brook and that a portion OF the pros
perry will be condemned for the pur-
pose.
A member Of the.committee was asked
II a larger bid would be made. He said:

and we think we have offered all
