CONGRESSMAN JONES SPEAKS

The court room of Warwick county
courthouse atLee Hall was overlooking
Tuesday afternoon with enthusiastic
Democrats from all parts of York coun-
ty and many from adjoining counties
to listen to an able address by Con
gresham w. A. Jones, who is candi-
date for reelection. Mr.. Jones was in
troduced by Mayor Jones, of Newport
News.
Congressman Jones predicted an un-
precedented success in November all
over the country, and said that he felt
quite sure the Democratic majority in
the next house of Representatives would
be upwards of 100, for it was being
generally conceded by prominent Re-
publicans that the Democratic majority
would be at least thirty.
An interesting and lucid treatment
of the tariff bill was made by Mr..
Jones, and severe arraignment of the
Republican party for the prevailing
high cost of the necessities of life called
forth much applause. Through the en-
tire address the large audience listened
with marked attention.

LaFollette was operated upon for gall
stones. Eight stones were removed
from the gall bladder. Prospects for
his recovery are good. All the gall
stones were small.
The inflammation of the gall blad-

the greatest danger at present lies in
the possibility of the inhammatory
area increasing the danger from septic
infection.
The appendix is not affected, and
in general there is positively no occa'
