to those who may not have heretofore

Thousands VIII Sign.
1t is thought that thousands of sigma
lures can be obtained for this petition in
the county and every effort will be made
to make as imposing a showing as pos
sible in order to make the farmers COM
mittee realize that they are decidedly in
the minority and that if they persist in
the stand they have taken they will be
blamed for any damage which may be
done to the commercial prosperity of the
valley. The situation is realized on all
sides to be serious one. and deserving
of much more attention from the people
than it has received. In speaking of the
matter yesterday L. c. Miller of Murray
said;
1--WE do not wish to deny the farmers
the right to secure damages for their
damaged crops and neither do we wish
to make them feel that we side entirely
with the smelter people. We realize fully
that the farmers have rights which must
be protected but we think that il is GO
ing too far to ask that the smelters move
out of the county in order to benefit a
few citizens. The smelterS are the prin-
cipal industry we have and the farmers
should realize that il would be better to
adjust the controversy in an amicable
way than to deprive the county and state
of one of its most productive industries"

Of sorrow and mourning, and 1t was IN

of Memorial Day.

as now observed Is n dissertation, since
the spirit OF old has departed from the

is not to be expected that the young gem

The School AS a Necessitv.

Senator George =. Keezell, Of Rock
inghnm, appeared before the State Board
OF Education on Monday last and made
county for high schools.
lie said, that It had como to the point
that his people who were ambitious for
the advancement Of their children wero
obliged either to send them to boarding
school or to move their families to q
town or city, unless they could have rural
high schools"
Senator Keezcll does no texnggcratc. He
is very practical man and very careful
In his statements. IIo meant to impress
upon the Board Of Education that better
rural schools were necessity. Parents
who nre ambitious for their children are
not going to let them grow up in igno-,
rance or with scnnt training. If they can
not get good schools In the country they
will move to town.
Many such parents have already done
SO and that Is why there nre so many
Virginia farms for sale.
We are taking a great deal about build
ing UP our agricultural interests In Vir-
ginia, but we cannot hopo to do SO until
we have better country schools and bet
ter country roads. With good schools and
good roads. country life in Virginia will
become more and more attractive. With
out them there will continue to be q
growing disposition, especially on the part
of the young folks to leave the farms
and cast their lot in the city.
This is question (which especially
concerns the farmers OF the state. AS
the case now stands. the city children
