CONFORM, KING GEORGE CO., VA.
March 1S.-The Legislators who voted to.
double the pay OF law-makers are doomed
to meet a frowning and angry constitu-3
ency when they mingle with the dear
people," The passage of the bill to thus
Increase the pay OF members Of the
General Assembly has actually "en-
ranged" voters and Taxpayer s as no
other measure has. and they arc by no
means mealy-mouthed In expressing their.
Edisapproval and Indignation.
They say that candidates last fall de-
clared that they were not act,lated by
the pay; their sulary was not considered
at all; but genuine patriotism and u
burning desire to serve the people We're
the motive powers. Leading party work
ers said, when they read about the
passage of the act. that they would make
n list of those who voted for the increase
and would see to Vt that not one Of them
should be elected again to any Office
One of the leading Democrats OF this
a list and inaugurating n fight, SO deter
mined are they that tho extravaganza
folks shall not hold office again.
Captain Charles p. Davis has given no.
&tice that his cannery nj Dido Will be
operated this season, and that he will pay;
20 cents per bushel for tomatoes, an
advance of five Giants per bushel over
previous years Other canning establish
ments, which were not operated last year,
will be run full time this season. nnd a
number of the farmers nro arranging to.
resume the raising of tomatoes and other
vegetables for canning purposes.
