COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
Discuss Bond Election, Bonding OF
County and Baseball.

The regular meeting of the Wenat-
chez Commercial club was held at
the club quarters last night. A large
number of the members were pres
ent.
The coming water bond election
was discussed, and not a dissenting g
voice was heard against the proposed
issue. The plan as outlined by the
city council seems to meet with gen.
eral approval, and there seems to
be no reason why the bonds should
not carry.
County Bonds.
The question of re-bonding the
county was also discussed. At the
present time the Indebtedness of the
county is about $4,000, a consider
able part of which is drawing inter
est at the rate of per cent. By
bonding the county this Indebtedness
could be taken over and much money
saved on interest, as bonds can be
sold at 4 or per cent. BY bonding
for $125,000 there would still be
$45 900 left for road building, and
for other needed expenditure in the
county.
Lemon Talks.
Prof. Lemon of the high school
made an interesting talk in which he
stated that the high school had made
move toward the introduction of
a short course in horticulture in the
schools next year
Athletics Discussed.
The question of athletics received
no small amount of discussion. But
this question, the same as all the 9TH
ers, was discussed at length, and yet
no definite action was taken on any
one thing.
1t seems appropriate that in meet
ings of this kind that resolutions
should be drafted voicing the senti-
ment of the meeting. In this man
ner the whole community may re-
ceive the benefit of the discussion.

Representative Charles c. Carlin. of the
Eighth Congressional district Of Virginia.
last night. at Falls Church. wound up a
week of whirlwind campaigning for re-
nomination to Congress. The primary of
the Eighth will be held on Tuesday. and
II is claimed by the Carlin men that the
present incumbent will be renOminated
by larger majority than before
Mr.. Carlin devoted his address 10 re-
pudiating the charges made against him
by his opponent, r. Lindsay Gordon. Of
Louisa County He said Gordon's prin-
cipal charge was that he (Mr. Carlin)
used money and whisky lavishly in the
last campaign, and that in one precinct
in the district he had purchased 100 votes
out Of a possible 200
Denies All Charges.
Representative Carlin denied every
charge Gordon made, and introduced af-
fidavits to show that statements made
by his opponent were false.
Editor Wampler. Of the Culpeper En-
terprise. stated in an editorial that in the
Catalpa precinct. CUlpeper County, Rep
resentative CaTiin had Illegally procured
100 votes. A special grand jury, con
sisting Of eight men. investigated the
charge. and when Wampler took the
stand, Mr. Carlin contended he admit
ted he did not know OF a single vote
that was purchased. Mr.. Carlin produced
an affidavit signed by five Of the eight
jurymen
He reviewed his whole career as a
member of Congress. and emphasized
what he had accomplished, especially
that which affected the people of the
Eighth district

House bill acknowledging the claim of
Virginia for $4,000 for money loaned
