The new regulations for the
manufacture of depatured alcohol
will go into effect in September.
They are intended to so modify
the regulation for licensed distill.
ing as to make it possible for farm
ers to 20 into business. The raw
material of manufacture-grain,
fruit and vegetable matter-can be
assembled at comparatively small
cost in farm neighborhoods. Alco-
hol might be turned out as butter
is now turned out from country
creameries within certain areas
where the cost of transportation
would not be prohibitive. That
this is practicable is demonstrated
by the successful experience of
German farmers. 1t will take time
to install the industry; but the
demand for safer liquid fuel than
that obtained from petroleum Is
insistent.

APPLES FOR EXPORT

"a II A6O II ORA LA OAN
The State Crop Pest Commission
at Blackburg has issued a circular
lie. ter to the fruit growers of Vir-
ginia calling attention TO the i'm
portance of getting rid of the San
Jose scale and other pests that in
fest apple orchards. The commits
sion quotes a letter received from
a firm IN Hamburg, Germany, who
are the largest dealers in export
apples in the world, asking for in
formation as to the counties in
Virginia where apples are entirely
from scale and other pests. 1t is
to the interest of fruit growers to
see that their orchards produce
only the best fruit. This is the
kind that brings the best returns.
The movement in Virginia
against the San Jose scale has had
far-reaching effect. With the
heavy force of local inspectors
scattered Throughout the State,
the Crop Pest Commission re-
ceives a detailed report upon every
orchard within each inspectors
territory which is infested with
the scale, Upon the receipt OF
such reports, official recommends
ton for treatment with full and
explicit information as to uee,
etc., is sent out fer the benefit of
the fruit growers. BY properly
using this information the pests
may be gotten rid of and the trees
rendered profitable and VARIABLE.
The presence of the scale in our
Virginia orchards lie known by
dealers abroad, and if not gotten
rid of will have a deteriorating
effect upon our market for export
ed apples In England and the Con-
tinental countries of Europe.

Plans to Divide Presbytery of
Lexington

Plans to Divide Presbytery OF
Lexington
Our Presbyterian brethren are
discussing the question of di'
vision of the old ''Presbytery OF
Lexington, land the matter is now
being considered by the sessions OF
the numerous churches In Rock.
bridge, and adjoining counties.
This Presbytery consists of City
or sixty ministers, and about sixty
churches. 1t embraces fourteen
counties: Augusta, Rockbridge,
Rockingham, Bath and Highland
in Virginia, with nine CIR ten
counties in the State Of West
Virginia. There are 1851 COM
lubricants belonging to these
churches.
The Synod Of Virginia, to which
this Presbytery belongs, consists
of twelve Presbyteries situated in
parts of three States, ard is by
far the largest Synod in the South,
ern Presby terian church. 1t con,
tains 302 ministers and AZ, loo
commandments. The division Of
the Synod has been considered re-
peatedly, but all movements in
that direction have failed hereto
fore.
The Presbvtery next to LeXing-
tor, IN the number of communicate
is East Hanover with 6.196, but
Montgomery is the next largest in
the number of its ministers having
thirty tao ministers and $3.50
communicates.
The reasons advanced by those
who favor the division Of the
Presbytery, are the large and in
convenient territory covered the
inability Of the smaller churches
to have the Presbytery meet with
them the difficulty experienced in
obtaining full lay representation;
and the fact that its large member
ship is not proportionally repre-
sented in the highest court Of the
church. Under the law no Presoy-
terry being entitled to more than
two ministers and two lay dele
gates. Some Presbyteries if not
one half the mem bership, having
the same representation.
1t is proposed by some to ask |
the Synod to add to the Presbytery |
of which Lexington will form
part, the churches of Falling
Spring, High Bridge and Glasgow
in this county, and the churches
in Allegheny county and parts of
Botetourt. If this is done, the 7
new FresDytery OF Lexington VIII
have a compact territory, with
quite large number of infuert tel
minis tiers and churches.
But our Presbyterian brethren
move slowly, and it will take some
time for them to make up their
minds.
We suppose the cther Presbytery
will have to be called the Presby-
cry of StauntOn but Harrison
burg or Elkins may want the ne me.
Augusta would carry off the honor,
tut for the fact there is another
aresbytery Of that name.
Wo understand that tho oessisn
# the Lexington church is unaml
nously in favor Of the division
nd have go informed the commit
ee having the matter in charge.

Another Virginia Day Planned

Announcer virginia Day Flanne0
A second Virginia week Is sug
gested for the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. With reference to this the
following dispatch is sent out
from Norfolk:
'gThere is TO be another Virgirie
Week and another Virginia Day
in that week at the Jamestown
Exposition should present plans
of President Tucker, Director-Gen-
eral Barr and others in authority
materialize, aud it is belle we'd
they will urge making another
Virginia Week and another Vir
ginia Day as desirable from the
fact that the exposition was not
completed when Virginia cele-
broted In June, Then it would
never do to let the tercen tennial
cloee with the celebration of North
Carolina Day far ahead of the day
observed especially by Virginia in
point of numbers in attendance
and enthusiasm displayed.
"That is the way it will be con-
strued should Virginia not have
another try at it, bu: even then
Moth Carolina might be asking
another day. President Tucker
thinks that the first week in Oct
ober should be set aside for Vir-
GINA and Director-General Barr, it
lie thought, agrees with him. The
movement for a new Virginia week
and day was laun ,hed by John R.
a local newspaper man,
and it'received rapid support"

Health Restoring Waters at the.

Wilson's Springs

and enjoying tie conditions and
results, it is in place to say
something In praise Of the manage.
rent as we'll as the efficacy of the
water, which was never better than
now in producing so many favora-
bic results. Some Of which seem
almost miraculous. | will mention
a few.
An old and much esteemed lady
of the county went there in such
feeble condition as not to be able
to walk without the aid Of her
staff at one side and the help Of
someone at the other. After u.s.
ing the water for two weeks she
was able to walk at n fairly brisk
and elastic gait without staff or
helping hand.
A lady from Illinois who was
former resident of our county,
when she arrived at Wilon's Was
not able to go from her vehicle TO
tie Motel without assistance but,
after remaining there for three
weeks was walking to the spring
daily and showing no evidence of
having been feeble. She will return
to her home a living monument 10
the virtue of the water of this long
reputed health resort.
Another, a middle-aged Indy,
went there in very much broken
down state Of health aud almost
despairing of the hope of recovery.
Yet after a three weeks use of the
water went to her home. and soon
after, started on trip to the
jamestown Exposition. Anoth er,
young lady, completely broken
down in health by work and
close confinement i: the school.
room, returned to her home after
a three weeks stay completely re-
stored-a picture of good health.
Many other instances of recuper-
alton could be cited if space would
permit. | allude to these as
the 10 ost noted.
All told, l feel justified in say
ing that this season has proven to
be ali all-rOund success. The host
and hostess may feel satisfied
with their effort and its results,
while all who enjoyed their hcspi
tality will think the time too Icing |
to wait for another season at Will
sons.
Leaving the virtue OF the
water cut of the question, it is
more than wise to have such
, place with its favorable sur
oundings where all formaIities
are laid aside and all vie with each
,ther in making it good tine for
