immense that the seats were not sufti.
cient, and the people sat on the grass
AT II A. M. the meeting was called to
order by Robert L Pennington. and
after the band had rendered few
pieces of music Mr.. Stuart was intro
duced, and as he arose he received a
great ovation.
In general way he followed his
same line of argument made in his
other speeches. He took up the record
of slemp and the party and the stand
patters with whom he had allied him
self, proving conclusively that Slemp
was not the friend Of the people of the
Ninth District Of Virginia, but man
who, by his own words and acts, had
declared that the perpetuation of the
Republican party in Office was to him
OF greater Importance than the interest
of people of his district. Mr. Stuart
showed that the boasted Endorsement
Slemp expected to get from Roosevelt
In his Bristol speech did not material
lie, and that the only thing that Roose-
welt could say of Slemp was that dur
Ing his administration Slemp had stood
by him and his policies straight as
string.
Mr.. Stuart held the immense throng
for two hours. AT the close OF his
speech a splendid dinner prepared by
the local committee was served, long
tables having been prepared and wired
off from this. The committee handed
the people their lunches, and notwith-
standing $500 people came for
luncheon. everybody had all they de-
sired.
After dinner was over the people re-
assembled to hear the closing address
by Mr. Glass He examined Slemp's
record on the tariff question. and found
him wanting, and showed that he had
always voted in the interest of the
trusts and combines. Slemp has
claimed that he was for white mans
man. yet when he came to vote in
Congress on law requiring the sep
aration of the races in the street cars
of Washington city he voted to allow
the negroes to occupy seats side by
side with the whites. When the bill
came up to reinstate the negro soldiers
who shot up the town of Brownsville,

Ruling on School Licenses.

Robert J. Alley. state superintendent
of public instruction has made a ruling
conccrnisg the issuance of sixty month
licenses for school teachers, which is
expected TO simplify the license ques-
ton considerably. Under former
ruling an applicant for a sixty-month
license was required to take two exam
nations. the first in the common school
branches and the second In designated
high school branches. Unless he sue
cessfully passed both examinations. no
license was issued on either examina-
ton. no matter how good grade was
made on the examination in the com
mon school branches.
Under the new rule the applicant
will be compelled TO have a thirty-six-
month common school license before
he may take the examination In the
high school subjects to entitle him TO
sixty-month license. and any person
holding such license may be examined
for sixty-month license at any time
during the license year in which the
thirty -six-month license was granted.
In all applications for sixty-month IL
censes. the examinations in the com
mon school and high school subjects
must be taken in the same examina-
