A Citizen Of Rome.

Rome, January 81. The Tribuna pro-
poses that Roman citizenship be con-
ferred upon President Roosevelt as a
manifestation of gratitude for the help
given by the United States on the oc-
casion of the earthquake. The Tribuna
says:
1--WE cannot give anything else, but it
is impossible to give more. This gigan-
tic foreigner deserves to be a Roman
citizen, while such an act, truly Ro-
man, coming from the immortal capital,
would be the seal of renewed friend
ship between the great ancient and
modern peoples"

A Disastrous Fire,

The most disastrous fire in the history
of Roanoke, Va, visited that thriving
city Friday morning of last week, COM
pletely wiping out the large milling
plant of Gambill & Davis, entailing a
loss of 100000, on which there was
about $40, 900 insurance.
When the fire was first discovered it
had gained considerable headway, and
although the entire fire department was
quickly on the scene, they were not able
to extinguish the blaze, and turned
their efforts toward preventing spread
of the confagration. The buildings sur
rounding the mill property are all frame
structures, land only the heroic efforts of
the firemen kept that entire section of
the city from being wiped out.

May Consolidate Revenue Ofices

1t is reported that the two internal
revenue offices in Virginia may be con-
solidated, and Collector L. P. Summers,
of Abingdon, placed in charge of the
revenue work in the entire State, with
headquarters either at Richmond,
Lynchburg or some convenient place.
This report follows the inroads made
in Virginia by the Prohibition cause, as
it is said that there is now hardly bust.
ness enough in Virginia to justify two
collectors, and that one can handle al
of the business.
Congressman Slemp would probably
name the new collector, and it is be-
lieved that Collector Summers would be
given the position. However, this
would probably entail moving the offices
from Abingdon to another section OF
the State.-Bristol Herald Courier.

The Bluegrass of Southwest Virginia

The claim is often made by the farm
ers of Southwest Virginia that this is
the best bluegrass grazing section of
the country, not only on account of the
luxuriant growth of bluegrass, but also
because the grass is more nutritious
than that grown elsewhere. This sec
tion is the only place in the country,
with the exception of the Genesee Val
ley of New York, and Greenbriar and
Monroe counties of West Virginia,
where export beef cattle can be finished
on grass. alone. In all other localities
some grain must also be fed to put the
animals in prime condition. 1t looks
reasonable, therefore, to suppose that
the bluegrass of this favored grazing
section has peculiar ano unique rich
ness.
We have just received bulletin No.
$50, by w. B. Elicit, from the State
Experiment Station at Blacksburg.
The Station secured samples of blue
grass from all parts of the country,
and all parts of Virginia, and analysed
them. The results show that the South
west probably has a slight advantage
over other sections in the richness of
its bluegrass. The great advantage of
the Southwest as a grazing country
over other sections, however, is proba-
bly, due chiefly to the fact that the soil
and climate are so favorable to the
growth of bluegrass that it makes a
luxuriant growth throughout the entire
season, instead of only in the spring, as
in most sections.
Young bluegrass from the Southwest
contained an average of 18 per cent of
protein. 1t is twice as nutritious as
timothy, and fully as nutritious as red
clover, nearly as nutritious as alfalfa.
1t is more nutritious than corn meal,
and nearly as nutritious as wheat bran.
No wonder the Southwest pastures
make fat cattlel

To Issue Bonds.

At meeting of the Town Council, of
Norton, Va, last week, a resolution
was passed calling for a bond issue for
the improvement of that progressive
town. The amount named in the reso-
luton is $50, and will be used to
construct sewerage system, to build
streets and sidewalks and to make other
public improvements. 1t was intended
to have the Circuit Court order the elec-
ton at once, but it has been decided to
delay the matter until decision is rem
dered on the constitutionaiity of the
Ward law by the Supreme Court.

Site for Federal Building.

The Government has purchased from
James W. Fox, of New York, lots 7, 8,
9 and 10 of block 19, fronting on Wood
Avenue, Big Stone Gap, Va, upon
which to erect the new 500, 900 Federal
court house and post Office building.
Work on the building will begin in the
early spring. This large building is
made necessary by reason of the great
amount of business transacted in the
Federal court at the Gap, it being said
that there are more cases tried at that
place in which the Government is inter-
ested than at any other district court in
Virginia.

HOONSHINERS ARE ON THE INCREASE
Illicit DiStillinS is Said to Be Flourish
iDS in Mountains Of Tennessee
and Virginia.

Illicit distilling of spirits, or moon
shining" is said to be fourishing in the
mountains of the States of Tennessee,
Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina,
which center in this section, despite the
activities of the revenue agents, the
number of illicit stills is believed to be
increasing.
25 STILLS IN ONE COUNTY.
A travelling man who was in Bristol
a few days ago stated that the revenue
agents had recently made some very
successful raids in East Tennessee. He
said, however, that it was estimated
that there were twenty-five illicit stills
IN one county in Tennessee.
The practice of moonshining is said
to be becoming more frequent, espec-
tally since the Prohibition laws have be-
come so general.
SIX ALLEGED DISTILLERS HELD.
In Dickenson county, Va, the reve-
nue. officers recently made raids into
the moonshine territory, and as a result
a half dozen alleged illicit distillers are
in Jail awaiting trial
The revenue men are practically pow
erless to completely stamp out the
crime, on account of the fact that it is
not supported by public sentiment in
the districts. Bristol Herald Courier.

Juan Estrada, who, with General
Chamorro, organized the uprising. is
one Of three brothers whom President
Zelayas has always regarded as his
stanchest political friends.
There are conflicting reports regard
ing the origin of the trouble. One n
port is that it was due TO a suspicion
that Zelayas intended to depose Estra
da from his office in the army. An
other version is that Zelaya secretly in
stigated the trouble, hoping thereby to
be able to get ont of the country and
live peacefully abroad. The Americans
at Bluefields are reported to be jubilant
over the turn Of affairs.
