Mr.. Tucker in New York

Hon. H. st. George Tucker was a
visitor in New York last week. A
dispatch from that city under date
of January 25th says:
Henry st. George Tucker, who
was president of the jamestown Ex-
position and who was in the race for
the governorship of Virginia before
the last election, is at the Waldorf.
He says Vi-giniaps are not at all
disturbed by the action of Senator
Hepburn, of Idaho, in raising a
rumpus over the acceptance by
Congress of the statue of Gen. Robert
e. Lee,
OF course, when Congress, by
law, asked each State to present two
of its greatest men in bronze or mar
BILE to be placed in the Capitol there
could be no doubt as to what Vir-
ginia would do"

The morning session will begin at

o'clock.
Mr.. Adair has received about So
applications for positions ofenumer-
ators in the district. 1t is hardly
to be supposed that all will be pres

school education will be able to
pass.

grapher, Miss Annie Lewis Black

President Denny Defends School
Examiners

Richmond Journal: This talk
about abolishing the office of exam
iners and inspectors OF schools is
all wrong in my Judgment, SAID
DR.. George H. Denny, president Of
Washington and Lee University,
today. DR.. Denny continued:
The examiners have done and
are doing a splendid work, and they
should be continued. Within the
last few years the public schools
OF the State of Virginia have risen
in rank so rapidly that no one but
an experienced educator can ap-
preciate their value. We talk
about improving our schools, and
the best methods of doing it, and
the very things that tend to do
what we all claim and aim at are
being attacked. The gentlemen do
not understand the situation as it is.
or they would not, / am sure, raise
the objections that have been made
to their continuance.

Mr.. Robert Riggs of Westmore-

week in Rockbridge as the guest Of
his friend, Mr.. ]. r. Crist near
town. Mr.. Riggs is district high
way inspector under the State High
way Commission of Pennsylvania,
and is practical and experien ced
road builder. Some of the roads
now being constructed under his
supervision will cost $40, 900 mile.
The methods used in Pennsylvan-
ia are to prepare thoroughly a
foundation for the macadam by
grading the dirt bed we'll and then
placing stones on this edgewise so
as to insure solid foundation. Then
dirt and crushed rock are placed
and evenly rolled. Lastly the fine
crushed stone is spread. thoroughly
sprinkled and carefully rolled,
which forms a cement and the road
then is hard and ready for use.

feature of the celebration.
The Confederate Veterans arrange
ments committee also met yesterday
afternoon to consider arrangements
for the first two days of the celebra-
ton, the dates being the same for
the state reunion of veterans, and dis
cussed the matter. The Commercial
Club proposes to conform entirely
with the wishes of the veterans on
these two days, and will cooperate
with them in every way possible.
The Hattiesburg camp will meet to-
morrow at the court house, when the
program will be outlined.
The entertainment of the veterans
during their stay in Hattiesburg is
now being considered, and all citizens
will be expected to assist in this par
ticular, so that all the old soldiers may
be made comfortable. 1t is expected
that the attendance will be large, and
for this reason each citizen will be
expected to do his full part.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-09-02

100000 bales of actual cotton, then
bought future contracts and forced
the short sellers at severe loss to
buy I'D from the farmer ana the mer-
chant that amount of cotton and de-
liver it to them in order that they
might ship it to the spinner who need
ed it. 1t goes without saying that the
farmer and the merchant who sold
the cotton to the speculative shorts
obtained very high prices for it.
The fact that some New Orleans
actual cotton merchants possessed the
nerve and the means to have taken
up 100000 actual bales on contract
has completely subdued those New
Workers who have made a practice OF
beating down the price of cotton. In
the past, the spinner has depended
on these bears to put prices down
whenever the spinner needed cotton.
Henceforth the New York bear will
fear to attempt a repetition of his
old time programme, consequently the
spinner will pay the value of cotton
to secure it.
The 1909 crop brought the south
ern farmer somewhere about $780,
600, 900 in cash. There is now every
reason to hope that the 1919 crop will
bring the producer even more than
that The bull leaders say prices will
continue high, and should a sharp de-
cline occur at anytime they will prob
ably step in and repeat their success
full tactics of recent months. Under
such circumstances the southern far
mer will not be apt to sacrifice his
1910 yield. =
