TARIFF REVISION

Representative Williams, the
Democratic floor leader in the
House of Representatives, a few
days ago formally accepted the
challenge Of the Republicans to
make the tariff the chief issue in
the coming congressional cam
paign, The statement of Speaker
Cannon that if the people of the
country want tariff revision they
should vote the Democratic ticket,
and the speech of Representative
Hepburn of Iowa, advocating the
continuance of the stand-pat
policy, were made the foundations
for an elaborate and forceful
speech by Mr.. Williams, in which
he declared that if the Republicans
refuse to change existing tariff
schedules, then the Democrats will
be placed in a position where they
will change them. There was in
Mr.. Williems's speech and manner
a note of confidence that tariff re-
vision is rapidly looming up as an
issue that aroused the
enthusiasm of the Democrats and
held the attention of the Republi-
cans.

Financing San Francisco will
make an interesting chapter when
the full history of the great catas-
trophe shall come to be written.
In nine days following the earth
quake there was transferred from
New York to the stricken city over
$4,000, 600, two-thirds Of which
war RENTED through tho Sub
Treasury and one-third was sent
by express. To replace this sum
nearly $3n.OOO,OOO of gold has
been imported, the importation
being expedited by Secretary
Shaw's plan of advancing GOLD to
banks that have ordered it from
Europe. Over 100000 of gold
has already been replaced in the
Sub Treasury by the bants.

We publish in today's issue a
report of the closing of the Lex
ingtcn public schools. 1t will be
observed that the graded schools
run for only eight months, while
the high school continues one
month longer. The school board
and patrons Of the school feel that
the graded schools should also
have a nine months term. This
additional month can be made pos
sible by the additional appropria-
tion of $1,000 by the town coun-
Gil. This appropriation will also
make possible some needed i'm.
provements in the buildings. The
schools are efficient, but they
should be made more efficient. 1t
is said there has been no increase
in the appropriation from the
town for the past ten years or
more. 1t would be fitting for the
town council to make provision for
this increase for the benefit of the
schools for next year.

Another Valuable Enterprise In
Lexington

EDIToR GAZETTE In fulfllment
of a promise made to you when l
wrote an account Of the operations
Of the Point Mills CT this place, /
now take up another industry, the
value and extent of which are not
generally known. l refer to the
Rockbridge Lime Works, west Of
the town. Few people have any
idea of the magnitude of these
works in our very midst. Their
daily capacity iP three hundred
barrels of lime. They have run
the kilns to their full ca paoity for
the last twelve months and have
made cvar one hundred thousand
barrels of lime. They shipped
seventy-five thousand barrels
abroad and the balance was taken
from the kilns. The demand for
prepared agricultural lime is fully
up to the capacity of the works in
the spring and fail seasons. This
product is shipped to the lowlands
of Eastern Virginia where the soil
requires this ingredient as a
fertilizer. The results of the ex-
pertinent have been highly salts
factory, and thus the demand has
been annually increased.
They have a stave and barrel
factory Of their own for the manu-
facture of barrels for the shipment
of their products, although a vast
quantity of their lime is shipped
loose in car loads. They supply
all the lime uaed at Bristol and
Buena Vista in their paper mills, as
we'll as all the building lime used |
in this section of the country.
The company is supplied with
its own water works OF pure
mountain water pumped in a
a reservoir on their own land from
a we'll which supplies all the water
for its kilns as we'll as for its
numerous tenants. They have
erected row of nine neat new
tenant houses built on their own
land, besides perhaps as many more
owned by the occupants. Employ
ment is given to about fifty skilled
wOrkmen.
They have now on hand 1900
cords of wood, thus atfOrding
home market for surplus tin Der.
They haul their OWE lime to the
depot, and for this purpose and
other hauling they keep eighteen
head of horses. The company
started q store about eight months
ago, and they keep general stock
of merchandise and supplies. Mr..
H. G. Lacy is manager.
The works are situated about
one-half mile west of Lexington on
the land of Mr.. A. T. Barclay, to
whom they pay royalty. Mr..
E. L. Embree of Buena Vista is
president of the company, and Mr..
Lawrence Embree is secretary and
treasurer. The stock is owned by
parties in Lynchburg, Buena Vista,
Bristol and Lexington.

THIS Is LOCUST YEAR

According to the bureau of ento.
mology of the department CT agri-
culture in Washington this section
of Virginia is to be visited next
month by the II year and 13 year
locusts. This department has sent
ous for distribution in localities
that will be visited by locusts a
circular which contains map in
dicating the various points where
lccusts will appear.
The exact date of the emergency
of the adults from the ground will
very somewhat in season. The
experience of many years indicates
that most of the individuals will
come out during the last weeA
in May. Very frequently holes
through which they emerge will
appear in the soil some weeks be-
fore the insects actually come out.
These holes are a little larger
around than lead pencil and are
frequently no numerous as to al.
most cover the surface of the
ground.
