Col w. H. Chapman, of the United
States revenue service, with head
quarters In Richmond, has requested
inspector Charles M. Sifford. of the
Roanoke Office, to fully investigate the
death OF F. Peters, who was shot from
ambush by moonshiners in what ia
known as the Runnet Bag district in
Franklin county.
The shooting was caused bv the fact
that Peters, who is a resident of tho
district, was believed by neighbors to
nave given information to the officers
regarding illicit stills.
hunnet Bag district has long been a
source OF terror to the revenue officers
Lying nearley on the border between
Franklin and Floyd counties, and bound
by the high Blue Ridge mountains. the
position of the moonshiners Is nearly
lmpregnable. Several officers of the
law have lost their lives while maxine,
raids and many bitter feuds have
originated from the thought that neigh
Dor had informed against neighbor.
Inc last feud of any note is known as
the Dodson,Shelton tragedy. This re-

mark, owned by ]. W. Moss. There
were fifteen colts in the exhibit, and
they were all fine specimens of Young
horsehesh. The first prize was awarded
by the judges to colt owned by ]. W.

home here from trip to Carroll county.
Near Galax and not far from the North

thereto. A large quantity of mash was
also destroyed.

"A Real Revolutionary Daughter.

Boston Transcript real daughter of the rev.
oution and one of the early movers in the womens
suffrage movement in this country, observed the
ninety fourth anniversary of her birth in a quiet
manner at Atlantic today. She is Mrs. Emily P.
Collins and she is staying with her granddaughter,
Mrs. Seth E. Pope, 60 Newbury avenue, where nu-
friends from Atlantic and elsewhere called on
her to express good wishes
Mrs Collins was born in Bristol, N. Y, Aug. II,
1912 She is the daughter of the late James and
Lydia Harmley of that place and her father was a
soldier of the revolutionary war, having served with
General Washington throughout the memorable Val

Mrs Collins was educated in the Genesee Wes-

graduation from that institution she taught school
for several years In 1884 she was married to

Baltimore News: Girls forming human chain"
saved youth from drowning; a young at
Atlantic City locked thief in her room and caused
his arrest; another young drove burglar
from the house at the point of her revolver These
are items of the news in the last few days.
1t looks if the old-fashion timdity of the weak
er sex were gone The capture of burglars and the
saving of drowning men not the work of cow
ards. And from this we may draw the conclusion
that women, like men, are growing stronger,
drawer, more sef-reliant and more elf-sacrhcing,
without apparently being any the less womanly.
This is the real new woman and she's worth many
of the pale, slppered, frightened damsels of past
days.

Women for Defense.

Almost one out of every two who offer them
selves for enlistment in England proves unfit for
military service says the New York Tribune. 1t is
officially stated that of $4,000 applicants, more
than 10000 had to be refused for this reason. This
leaves out of the question, of course all men who
knew themselves to be too old puny to serve This
fact causes "The Illustrated London News" to dis
cuss the subject of in the army as II 1t were
a possible thing Any one can see, says "The News"
as he goes about the street, how many understood,
feeble young fellows there are ",The average man
has grown smaller and weaker within the last few
years as visibly and noticeaby the average wo-
man has increased in height and improved in ply
sidue" "The News" can offer explanation, unless
it be excessive juvenile smoking among boys, and
saws do1efu1lv "The last thing be desired is to
see the sexes equalized by the degeneracy OF men.
And if men are failing us for the national defense,
must women look forward to taking their places!
1t is by no means an impossible, wild idea. Ladies
rifle ranges are springng up all over the coun-
try and men encourage the notion The ultra fash
ionable Bath club has just established range for
women and some women have actually been shoot
ing in mems teams at Bisley."
Miss Ethel Everest it seems, has proposed to the
War Department to raise fund to privately de-
monstrate the capacity of women to discharge du-
ties in defense of their homes and countries" II
the secretary OF war will only say that SUCH corps
would be accepted if satisfactory Thus far the war
secretary has gone further than to ask for large
body of volunteer army nurses for his new territorial
forces. Many soldiers are recalled. Swiss
women have fought in battaons for national free
dom. In the famous 'ive days" of Milan, which
lit the flame of rebellion against Australia all
Italy, women fought shoulder to shoulder with the
men behind the street barrcades. There are records
of women soldiers in the American civil war and
English history is full of heroines who held castles
against enemies and performed other martial
ploits. The young of Finland drill regularly
now in the state militia, and American Red Cross
nurses went on the firing line in the Philippines.
STILL says the London paper ought not to allow
the mothers of the to be subject to military
demands They ought never to be called to take life,
IF the of one country were drawn in, all
others would follow suit and the relative military
strength of no nation would be increased"
