The vacancy in the senate committee
ON appropriations caused by the death
of Senator Allison of Iowa will be
filled by Senator Hale of Maine, whose
retirement as chairman of the commit

motion of Senator Perkins of Cali

of Senator Hemenway OF Indiana anC
Senator Teller of Colorado will make
vacancies on the committee on appro-
priations. Mr.. Wetmore of Rhode Is
land is a candidate to succeed Mr..
Hemenway, but probably a westerner

IN POLITICS

Judges, lawyers and those interested
in political affairs have taken more
than usual interest in the proposition
to advance the pay of United States
circuit and district judges. All agree
that the salary of these United States
judges should be advanced, but con-
siderable difficulty is to be experienced,
it is said, in arriving at a just solu-
ton of the problem.

Somebody in tn Tribune
office, burning with the desire to
hold sweet communion with the
office towel, tried 10 use the efice
.hvdrant some time Thursday
afternoon and when the water
wouldn't run, left the hydrant
open. The waste pipe in { h e
in the office does not work
right and when the city water
came on at about 7:30 that night
Of course the building was food

about 500 o'clock Friday morn

janitor Of the Office, when he

AmeS' Bazaar, which is located
on The FIRST floor Of this building
received q severe soaking in the
north end-directly under the
hydrant. Several hundred dol
lars damage was done to shoes,
underwear, shades and millinery
goods The goods aside from
the millinery will be sold as
damaged goods, and the millinery
will be destroyed and new goods
have been put in their place.
Fortunately the trimmed hats
were IN display in the front of
the store and were not damag-
ed.
Word comes TO us that q
OF hydrants in different
parts Of the city were left open
the other night but either had
good drain pipes or were placed
where they could do no do dam

in four or FIVE years that Ames'

INTERESTING LETTERS.
WELL WORTH THE READING.
Sent By Our Farmers to the Industrial
Quarterly Of the Norfolk and
Western.

Mr.. r. II. LaBaume, Roanoke, Va
Dear Sir:-Eight years ago ! began
a dairy business on a poor farm IN
Prince Edward county, near Rice De
not. Va. At that time there were only
Two dairymen anywhere in this whole
section of the country. began Win
six cows Of ordinary breed. got a
cream separator and from the SIX cows
| sold butter or cream amounting To
$4,000, an average of 5000 per COW
wear, leaving the skinned milk for
The pigs. In my herd ] bad some
full-blood Jerseys. A record was kept
of each cow, which showed al the
end of the year that the most pr0nt
was i'm the full-bloOd Jersey, and
naturally selected this breed. then
secured several of the best pure-bred
Jersey cows / could find. | also got 8
high-bred, registered Jersey bull,
"King of Evergreens" No. 6!CI2, to
head my herd. | soon found that |
had beautiful lot Of heifers that have
developed into fine, profitable cows,
all pure-blood Jerseys and solid color.
Last year | had fifteen mixers, in
Guiding five heifers with first calf,
from which / sold in cream and butter
alone 81 ,9S2. 81, 81 average Of Sl32 lt
per COW. This does not include calves
and the skinned milk fed to calves
and pigs. My herd pow pun'eLs
thirty, bulls, heifers, an,1 e"iNs' H.
cluded
There is one thing about dairy "ls "
which | wish to call special alten. 'o-
As | have stated, | began the buslne. -
on poor farm. Today / am not
ashamed to compare soil and crops Of
corn and hay with any in my state,
and the manure from my cattle did It
with the aid of thorough cultivation
and lime.
Dairying IN Virginia today is only
in its infancy. | believe the day will
soon come when she will be number
ed among the dairy ing states.

RETAIL MERCHANTS ORGANIZE.
A Well Attended Meeting Of Represent
iatIYe RelaII Merchants.

Tie retail merchants of Faruyille
met in the Courthouse on last Wednes-
day afternoon TO form an association
10 be known as the Retail Merchants
Association of Farmville. A tempo
rary organization was effected with
y. 3 Davidson as president. and Mr..
F. ". Bugg as Secretary.
The objects of the association were
fully explained by the State organizer
who was present emphasis being laid
upon the value OF union as a protec-
ton against the sharper, and to the
securing OF legislation in the interest
of the retail dealers. Reference was
made to the good work of the as
ISOLATION the country over, in most Of
the states of the union, and in many
of the cities and towns of Virginia.
When this had been done, a perma-
nent organization was effected, with
j. A. Davidson as President, 5. D.
Walton, Vice President and X. B.
Cralle, Secretary and Treasurer.
The merchants present gave in their
names, and paid the membership fee
of $3.50. A regular charter will be
obtained, and the local Association adj
mitted to membership of the State or
ganization with all the rights and privi-
leges attaching thereto. The State
Association will meet in Petersburg
on the Ord Of the present month, and
no doubt the local association will be
represented by at least two members.
And now that the merchants are
touching elbows. let them keep in
close touch, commune one with the
another, give the benefit Of individual
experiences, pull together practice
the principles of the Golden Rule
in business, and better and brighter
day will dawn, not only on the bust
ness men Of Farmyille, but upon all
of Farmville
The machinery is now here but
machinery without live men behind it,
in charge of it, is inert and worthless
thing. Organization is desirable, is
essential, but into the body OF organi-
cation, the breath of living men must
be breathed or it will languish and
die
Young men of enterprise and bust
ness dash have been honored with the
position Of leaders of this new organi-
zation, and let them so lead as to in
spire enthusiastic and loyal following
Farmville has the right to expect
great things from her Retail Merchants
Association.

Editor Herald


] was interested in a communication
which appeared in your last issue,
and in which an anxious citizen want
ed to know why the Council was will
ing to spend two dollars a day of tax
payers money to employ a watcher
over an honest contractor, and as
read the query | was reminded Of the
wall of a Washington woman who
gave the above figures to show how
the authorities spend money at the
capital city of the nation
It seems that the good lady had
neglected the care Of her premises
when the matter was taken i'm hand by
the Council, and by referring to the
figures above it viii be seen that
watching is a costly process there rs
well as here. It may be best bu. We
laymen in the ranks can't see it just
that way. If confidence leaves the
human family we will have a chronic
panic and eventually pandemonium.
