Germany Faces Problem.

The prices for meat have been advanced
again, and the butchers and meat con-
sumers are asking the government TO
pass relief measures by allowing foreign
cattle. sheep. and pigs 10 come in. The
consumers also would like to see foreign
fresh and conserved meats (corned beef,
smoked and picked tongues, &c.) enter
as freely as was the case some years ago.
During the second quarter of this year
81 900 heads of calves and beef cattle less
than in the corresponding period of 1909
were slaughtered. although Germany
population has in the meantime increased
at the rate of 1l5 per cent per annum.
Last year Germany imported feed stuffs
valued at more than $780, 600, 900. The DO
nestle crop of feed stuffs is not very good
and augurs a consequential shrinkage in
the raising OF meat stock cattle, swine.
sheep, and poultry,

Before reaching the room, the
grandmother smelled smoke and as
she entered the door she saw that the
crib where the baby was sleeping was
on FIRE. With a few steps. the grand
mother was beside the crib and she
quickly carried the child away from
the fire. The bed clothing which was
wrapped about the child was ablaze

Williams had her hands badly burn

In the meantime. the mother, who

out the fire while other members
were dispatched for physicians. DR..

passing by in his automobile and was
hurriedly summoned DIR. w. u.
Knight also was called by phone.

fatally burned and that time was pre-
cious. Dr. Corss took the little patient
to the st. Francis hospital in his au-
tomobile. Everything possible was
done 10 alleviate the suffering of the
infant and to save its life.
No Explanation Of Blaze.
Mystery surrounds the origin of the
fire and no explanation of ii can be
given. The crib was standing in a
far corner of the room from the stove
and the stove did not become over
heated enough TO have set FIRE 10 the
bed clothing across the intervening
distance. The fire caught on the end

County Fairs

The Suffolk Herald urges the re
vival OF the "old-time' county fair
in the county, and we wish our es-
teemed contemporary much success
in the effort.
In an article a short time ago we
earnestly advocated the holding of
county fairs throughout the State.
Their utility is obvious. Not only
do they excite a healthy emulation
and develop a spirit of enterprise in
the county, but, as our Suffolk
friend points out, they bring to-
gether neighbors and county men.
They will in some measure sup
ply the loss of the old county courts
and conventions that have been
abolished.
Whatever can bring the people Of
the county to become better &C
quainted to exchange ideas and
views, discuss county affairs and
county interests, works for the ad-
vantage of the county.
For this reason, if none other, the
old courts were of much value. But
since they are gone, let the county
fair be revived so that at least once
a year the people of the county can
have me induce ment to meet to
gether. -Ric hmond Ne Leader.

improve the streets OF the town,

CONFEDERATES DEARRED FROM
LONGEVITY PAY

A dispatch from Washington a
few DAYS ago in the daily press con-
viewed the information that the
Comptroller of the Treasury has
decided that a man who has
served as an officer in the Conted-
crate Army cannot draw longevity
paw from the government of the
United States.
The auditor of the War Depart
ment recently allowed the admins
traitor of former officers estate the
sum Of $500, on account of longevity
pay accrulng in various periods
from July. 1913, to December, 1884.
After the settlement it was learned
that the officer had served as a
major-general in the Confederate
Army from 1861 to 50, and the mat
ter was called to the attention Of
the Comptroller of the Treasury.
In noting the above matter OF
news, we will say the reason for
this ruling of the Comptroller OF the
Treasury is becauseof the existence
of Section $3.50 of the revised United
Statutes, which prohibits the pay
ment of any claim or account whic'
accrued or existed prior to Apr
ID, 1861. in favor OF any person VIII
in any manner promoted, encoul
aged or sustained the late rebellion
This statute was enacted c
March ,. 1867, in the darkest day
of reconstruction. Forty years q
forwards, to the day, bill that ha
been prepared by the late Senat
John W. Daniel was introduced
the Senate by Senator Pettus of A
ALBANIA, and was adopted without
dissenting voice by the Sena
Congress adjourned that day, ar
there was was no chance for I'll
House to act on the Daniel bill. II

House, of which Mr.. Jenkins
Wisconsin was chairman, and aft

LOUISA, VA, July IL, lJlV. r
Mr.. EDITOR: To an old ConGeder .
ate. a member of the Liberty Hall .
Volunteers, it seems that some APP
preciative acknowledgement should
be made, through your valuable
columns, of the obligations thai the
old soldiers feel to the good people
of Lexington, for their genuine kind
ness, and many delicate attentions,
during our attendance at the un-
yelling of the Tablet in honor of the
old College Company.
The conception of a reunion Of
the Soldier Boys of 1861, was u
happy one. Very few of them would
have ever seen each other in this
life but for the kind heart and in
defatigable efforts of MIR. W. G. Nc
Dowell. who in a large measure de
vised and executed the plan of a
Memorial Tablet
The kind reception accorded us.
the bounteous hospitality. the glad
hand with which we were greeted
on all sides. warmed the hearts OF
the boys, and threw bright ray
of sunshine across their pathways.
Mr. Editor, we are grateful. deep
ly grateful.
There was in one respect a tingc
of sadness when we first reached
Lexington. We naturally looked TO-
the familiar faces of those with
whom we had been associated in
our College days; with one eXcep-
ton (the venerable Professor Mel
SOM the older set were all gone.
The Younger ones. our cOntempOra-
ries of the long ago had outgrown
our recollection.
Now, it was hard to realize how
even in forty-nine years. the ole
landmarks could be so changed
how the landscape artist, the archi
tect and the engineer. could so trans
form, beautify and adorn.
