AQUATIC PLANTS
How They May Be successfulIy cuiti-
waited In Tubs.


Tie crlt'vation Of aquatic plants In
tubs makes 1t possible for any one to
try his skill with them. OF course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts Of nymphaea, but he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
Of water lily and other plants Of that
class. A half barrel is not very at
tractiye In itself, but its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or 1t
may be sunk its depth in the earth.
When II contains a fine specimen OF
some aquatic plant we win forget all
about its lack of grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from the bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth Of a foot:
then pIant your roots in 1t and I'LL with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub 4
sunny place in the yard or garden. IL
Won want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, 1t is good
plan TO take four, FIVE, six, or as many
as you may decide on, and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which a large tank
would give. A better plan, though a
more expensive one to carry out, Is
TO have q tank constructed Of heavy
blanks. These should be securely bolt
ed at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves.

The word "ironmonger" has as curl
Gus an origin as any other word In the
English language. 1t means literally
an eater Of iron and came to its present
use in this way. There was once a law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkers. who still carried
on their trade in spite of this law, were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fsh-
'mongers, for, to evade the law, their
large purchases Of fish were said to De

the term monger was applied to other

Great Work for Public Schools
by Legislature


"Three measures alone should
make the General Assembly of
1905 a memorable one" said State
Superintendent Of Schools T. Z.
Eggleston, Jr.
81 name them in the order of
their enactment into law" he said.
nIf l named them in the order of
their Importance, / should put all
three first. The fret 10 the in
creased appropriation Of 100000
from tire State treasury
for the primary and grammar
schools. Every cent CT this will
20 to the pay of teachers. AS ls
known. the amount given from the
State treasury since 1891 has been
5000, 600 a year. This is now IN
creased to 100000. This will add
34.5 cents to the appropriation for
each child OF school age, and with
the $50, given annually to high
schools. will give each child OF
school age, a little over 4S cents
additional from the State treasury
each year.
"The second measure is the high
school tiIl and it carries $50, 900
year to supplement local funds
for high schools. 1t permits any
district or districts Of any county
or counties, to establish Eigh
schools, and under certain restric-
tions and stan dards to receive from
the State not lees than $3.50 and
not exceeding 800 to duplicate
such amounts or more raised by
the district or districts, or contri-
buted by private subscription.
Properly managed, this measure
will be of inestimable dtahtaRe
to our country, village and town
schools.
"The third measure is the one
which enables district school
boards to borrow money from the
Literary Fund to build good
schcolhouses, 1t is one of the
most far-reaching measures for
good ever enacted in the State In
behalf of the country, village and
town schools. Under this meas
ure a district may borrow net lees
than 1926 and not exceeding
$4,000 on any one school, which
amount is to be enc half OF tine
cost of the school. Four per cent
interest is charged, and ten years
time is given in which to repay
the loan in annual payments. The
plans and specifications and To-
cation of the building must be APP
proved by the State supe-lnten'
dent before the State Board viii
make the loan. II desired, thu

CITY,s UNIQUE POSITION

Stanton occupies the unique
position OF fighting against the
proposition of advancing from a
city of the second class to one OF
the first class.
Last May the town extended its
corporate limits and a census fol-
lowed which gave it 1926 in
habitants, which, according to the
Constitution, places it among the
cities of the first class with two
branches TO its Council.
But those in Office in Staunton
do not want the two branches;
indeed, they want to keep their
positions ia the gle-barrelled
body They complain that inmates
of the Western State Hospital and
and those OF the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Institute should not have
been included in the census.
Whereas, those desiring = first
class organization say even the
United ST. ties census includes these
institutions.
The case was carried TO the
Supreme CouIt through mandamus
and prohibition proceedings. 1t
was argued orail, last Saturday
in Richmond by Captain R.S.Kerr
and S. D. Tin berlake for the
defendants those citizens who
want a city of the first class, and
by Patrick Is Gordon and j. M.
Perry for the petitioners.
The court then took the case,
with the printed briefs, and is ex-
pscted to render q decision next
Thursday, as the court evidently
regards an early decision desirable,
having put the case on the privileg.
ed docket, and, something it has
net Done before at this term, held
che hearing on Saturday,

pARKER,s STRONG APPEAL
TO SOUTHERNERS

Judge Alton B. Parker OF Ne"
York. former Democratic nominee
for the Presidency, in recent ad-
dress at Charlotte, N. c., urged
the Southern Democrats to take
the leadership Of the party. he
gave q number Of reasons why
such a movement should be In
augurated, and among other things
he said that the people of the
South. without variablensss or
shadow of turning, have been the
mainstay of tie Democratic party
for many years, and the time has
now come when new duties and
responsibilities must be under
taken by the Democrats OF tne
South. He called attention to the
fact that from the earliest history
of our country the South had sent
her best men into public life, aud
they have invariably proven them
selves modest, able, devoted, pat
rio,ic and honest. No jail or peni-
Tertiary, said he, has opened Its
hOspitable doors to admit Southern
Senators, Representatives or Gov
ernors, nor have the officers OF the
law, from detectives to Attorney
General, been compelled to hale
them into the criminal courts.
In the course of his admirable
address Judge Parker used these
words: ''In the face of this rec
ord you have not only permitted
us of the North to present to you
candidates for President and Vice
President, but you have insisted
upon our doing so, and have then
voted for them, and that, TOO,
when sometimes no other State
did so. In 1895 you tried Me-
braska, and since that day no old
Democratic Northern State has &C.
credited one of our party to tRS
United States Senate, and In none
has there been friendly Cover
nor. All the Democratic training
schools OF the Notwithstanding,
intermediate and higher-were
closed and have remained so. The
party paralysis was complete and
almost fatal. In 1904, hoping tc
cure or palliate it, you advised re-
turning again to New York FOL
your candidate, only to meet the
worst defeat in our party history
When such conditions confron
you, why should you hesitate any
longer9"
Not alone from Judge Parker
but from other prominent men O
the North como assurances or sup
port to a Southern nominee 10
the Presidency. The signs OF tn
times steadily point to the Demo
Gratis of the South to assert them
selves as LADDERS of their party
And tho time may not be far dis
tant when Southern statesmen vii
occupy their rightful places in tn
councils of the nation.
