Judoino Corn Seeds.

One of the first points a judge OF
corn should give attention to is the
seed condition Of samples. Is the
germ sound. and will 1t produce a
good plant? A termination test is the
best means Of settling these questions,
but unfortunately cannot be employed
while one is judging corn shows. The
farmer should test every eur he plants.
If the germ is Slender and small the
plant is likely to lack vitality. Thin
seeds tapering to their attachment pro-
duce weak germs, anG consequently
ears with such seeds must be discrim-

Cilissas' Party Csso,,s

One one of the most orderly
caucuses ever held in this section
was the caucus of the Citizens
Party last Saturday, a large num-
Der Of ladies and gentlemen filing
the Commercial Club rooms almost
to capacity.
Chairman Walton at promptly
8 o'clock called the meeting to
order, and while there was a num-
Der of other nominees left at the
post" the following ticket was
selected:
Mayor. s. McMurtry.
Trustees-L. M. Gee. j. B.
Harden. George J. Ikelman, Ed
Haberstroh.
The unanimity with which the
above ticket was nominated is a
substantial endorsement of the
past administration, and the ex-
tremely diligent efforts on their
part for satisfactory public i'm
provements has apparently merited
the appreciation of the rank and
file of the voters.
Mayor McMurtry is now serving
his fourth term as Mayor, while
Messrs. Harden, Gee. Haberstroh
and tkelman served the town in
similar capacities when Holly was
a mere flag station compared to
Ito present population. The ticket
will undoubtly meet with the in.
dorsement Of every voter having
the welfare of the town at heart.

SUPREME COURT
MUST DECIDE IT
Book Controversy Will Be Settled
Only Temporarily it is
Stated.
RULING STILL STANDS
Attorney General Occupies Strong
Position Which High Tribunal
is Expected to Sustain.

The school book controversy is
headed straight for the Supreme
Court. This information was receiv-
ed from a source of unduestioned au
thority Thursday afternoon after the
conference between the publishers, the
Attorney General ana representatives
of the state Board OF Education nad
adjourned.
This conference. attended BY nearly
a dozen publishers ana their represen-
tatives from New York, Boston and
other cities. resulted in practically no
AGREEMENT. 1T win be resumed later
in the day. however, when Ii is hoped
that temporary understanding will
be reached so mat the public 50 hoois
Throughout Virginia can get tneIr

II WAS the original intention or pur-
pose of the publishers To induce the
Attorney General IL Is UNDERSTOOD

Very little rewriting wiu ue done,
however, II is now declared, though
a temporary understanding IS not ett4y-
hopeu Tor. but Conndentay expected
before the conference nnaily aa1ourns.
Ruling Stands.
The publishers, uoWevr finding
that they canot break down the ruiz
ing OF General Williams, will as soon
as practicable. it is declared. take
the case through the lower courts TO
the supreme tribunal In their effort
TO gain ii decision allowing them TO
DO business in the State without a
foreign license.
Attorneys who have made a close
study OF the matter, however are OF
the opinion that the supreme court
cannot fail TO uphold the attorney
general in his decision. and point to
many presidents long established
which indicate very clearly that Gem
eraI Williams is right in his ruling,
and that the State is right in enforc-
ing it.
The contracts prepared some time
ago for the department Of education
provide that the publishers must sell
rhe books directly TO the school chill
dren. They cannot operate through
any intermediate agency or local
book store The business must he
done by their own representatives.
This makes necessary the payment
OF foreign license taxes to the State
corporation commission, and il is the
payment of this tax to which the
publishers object declaring that they
cannot afford to deliver the books at
the contract prices If they are forced
to pay for the privilege of selling to
Virginia children.
