What wnl Judge Crump Do with
the Matter?

Says an editorial article In the Rich
inond Journal The minority report
Of the joint committee investigating the
affairs OF the Corp Grafton Commissi on
that was actually adopted by the
Legislature, says, in part:
That notwithstanding there was no
Intentional wrongdoins and no corrupt
thought or purpose, the subscribing to
the one share OF stock 10 said COM
pany" (there were only twenty shares
issusd) by Judge Crump, and the
sanction given by him to the sharehold-
ing In and work performed for said
company after Office hours by Major
Lanier, was q grave error OF Judgment
and an act Of iRdiscretion."
lie this the vindication that Judge
Crump souRhtf Apparently 1t is, for
he has not yet resigned, and has given
no Indication of his intention to do
so. The Constitution requires one
occupying Judge Crump's position to
possess the same qualifications as a
Judge OF the Supreme Court OF Appeals.
Wonlr any one OF the judges on this
bench remain after such action on his
conduct by the LEGISLATURE We think
not.
Lanier was dismissed because OF his
connection with the Virginia Corpora
tion Company, Incorporated.
Tyler Was dismissed because he,
slerk in tine Commission, had served
the Corporation Company for pay
Newly was dismissed because he. =
stenogrApher, in the service Of the
Commission. had done some typewrit-
ing for the Cooperation Company for
pay.
Immediately on the Legislature
adopting the minority report, the
Commission removes Chief Clerk Up
shur who reported the Irregularities
aud proved them before the investi--
eating committee, and W. w. Barrow,
who eorroborated his evidence.
These two we're the only clerks who
reirained from participating 10 the
affairs OF the Corporation Company.
The three who erred have gone, and
the two who failed to thus err are
gone.

FORIMPROvED SCHOOLS IN
ROCKBRIDGE

Ihe results Oh bno VuuO"VAOn"
campaign that has been w0ged fc'
the past several years in Virgins
are now being seen. The desire
for better schools, which means
more thoroughly prepared teach
ers and longer terms, IL shown oy
the demand for improved school
conditions. This spirit has Actual
ed the County School Board OF
Rockbridgs to ask for increased
appropriation by the Board OF
Supervisors for abe schools OF the
county. In their zeal for the vel
fare of the children of Rockbridge
the School Board hss asked for a
Considerable advance over last
years levies. The Board OF Su-
psrvisors did not take up the
question at their meeting Monday,
but the matter was deferred for q
later meeting, possibly for the
purpose of sscertsining the wishes
of their constituents on the sub
ject. If tho property holders OF
Roekbridge desire to increase
their taxes for the benefit OF the
public schools, then the Board OF
Supervisors would feel free to In
crease the levy; otherwise, az the
custodians Of the public funds, TO
this extent at least, they would
hesitate before laying additional
burdens on the taxpayers OF Rock
bridge. Last year there was
very material increase in the coun-
ty and district lsvies, which gave
TO each district IS cents on the
800 of real and personal property.
1t is our Judgment that the
School Board took a step back
ward when resolution was adopt
ed giving to the District Boards
the privilege of fixing the salaries
for teachers. OF course tie Dis
triet Board should fix the amounts
to be paid, but salaries should be
uniform. Heretofore, until with
in the last year or two, the several
districts have paid different salar.
les to teachers holding uniform
certificates. 1t would seem the
best interests Of the schools de.
manded an increase for all gra des.
It would not be out of keeping
with the requirements of the situs-
ton to fix the salaries of princi"
pals OF graded schools at $50 per
month; first grade teachers at $40
per month; second grade, $50 per
month third grade, $25 FER month.
Another improvement iSno less
important than better salaries,and
that 10 loEger school terms. 1t
seems that six months should GER
tainly be the minimum length Of
the term, and porsibly seven or
evea eight mOnthn could be main
tanned in some sections. If length
ening toe term is dependent on re
ducing the number of schools, then
the reduction should be made. In
msny instances schools are too
Gloss together anyway.
Now,if the increase in teachers
salaries and the lengthening of the
school term should require an in
crease of taxation, we think that
persons not patrons of the schools
would not object to the increase,
and surely the patrons would not.

Report on San lose Scale

The report of State Entomologist

sented to the BOar4 of Supervisors
at their meeting Monday, aud is
as follows:
BLACKsBURG, Fob. 8, 1905.
To the Board OF Supervisors of Rock.
bridge County;
GENTLEMEN We submitted to you
on December 20, 1904, a report on the
inspection work In Rockbrldge county
for the San Jose scale. Work has been
pushed since that date In reinspect-
ing orchards that have been found TO
be infested with san Jose scale. and
enforcing the law for treatment against
this insect pest The relnspection of
these orchards indicates that large
number VI them have been well treated
for this insect. Some few OF the
growers did not succeed In treating
their orchards to the best advantage,
out we hope to push this work in such
a way that practically all OF them will
treat their orchards satisfactorily this
winter. We think, on the whole, the
work has proved very successful and is
preventing the spread OF the San Jose
scale to large extent.
Very respectfully
j. l.. PHILLIPS
State Entomologist.

 There is a widespread feeling of dissatisfaction among the business men and tax payers of town re- garding the action taken, and an agitation may be started at any time to make another change, but at present the town is. closed tightly enough to satisfy the'mos particu- lar.

Fire On Reservation.

The first fire of any consequence in the reservation district occurred last night when the residence owned by George Rorcr, a short distance beyond the brewery was completely gutted. The alarm was not sent in until the whole build ing was in flames and the fire de- partment reached the scene barely in time to prevent the adjoining houses from catching. Fortunately water was obtained in the creek near by and within a few seconds after the engine was put to work the flames were under control.
 The house was occupied by Mrs. B. B Lockhart, who lost practi- cally everything, the few things that were saved being damaged l y fire and water. The fire is sup posed to have started from the stove while the occupants of the honse were away, and was not seen until too fate to save any thing.

Attention is greatly attracted to the magnificent specimen of chal- copyrite ore now on exhibition in the office of the Alaska Copper Mining Exchange.

 From the face of a drift of some 200 feet, leading from the main tunnel at 400 feet and at a depth of 400 feet from the surface, was shot out this sample and larger one which has been sent to the Home office of the Company in Boston.
