Editor of The Nirginian:
Sir.--Many of the leading farmers
of Henry county are greatly interest
ed in the bill now before the Legis-
Iature. having for its object the
operation by the State of limestone
quarries to supply crushed limestone
to the farmers at cost. our farmers
think that crushed limestone applied
TO the land, while not quite 30 good
as burnt lime, is for all purposes for
which agricultural lime is used.
practical substitute. and offers a
solution of grave problem in the
agriculture of the State The present
prices for agricultural lime are looked
upon as prohibitive and rich lime
stone properly crushed can be sold
at prices that will enable the farmers
TO buy 1t at far less than they now
haze to pay for agricultural lime.
Wide awake farmers here regard the
bill as the most important measure.
affecting the interests of the farmers
of Eastern and Piedmont Virginia.
now before the Legislature They
think that should the bill become
law, and its provisions be properly
carried out, that 1T will result in more
benefit TO the farmers of the State
than any legislation enacted for twen-
ty years.
In Henry county the lime Is needed
to correct the aGidity In the soil and
70 enable the farmers To raise such
land improving crops as clover and
cow peas. The farmers Of the State
should urge the Importance of the
pending legislation upon their senators
and representatives.

Editor of The Virginian:
Sir: Following the statistics you
published recently on the improved
conditions in Lynchburg since the sa
looms were closed out, below you viii
ind an interesting comparison be-
tween Roanoke with saloons and
Lynchburg without saloons for the
fiscal year ending February !, 1910.
Lynchburg does not exult over her
neighboring sister. but sympathiZes
with her In that the apparent will OF
the people there has been for the
present frustrated by certain methods
which look peculiar to an outsider.
The population of the two cities Is
nearly the same. The Police Court
records of the two cities show as fol-
lows from February /, 1909, 10 Feb
ruary !, 1910:
Arrests for disorderly conduct
Roanoke. 1871: Lynchburg 1856, Diff

for drunkenness--Rea

Arrests for all causes Roanoke,

II would seem that when Roanoke
and other cities still in the saloon bus
iness realize the weight OF such facts
they will decide that the saloon Is too
costly possession in morals and good

of their councilmen to o3 in the upper braDch and

the minimum were reduced to six-four in the one
branch and two in the other; this would enable a
city to reduce its wards to two with counciimen
and one alderman from each ward. Such body
would conform To the constitutional requirement
and yet would be so small that the city could afford
to pay each member living salary.

The Natchez Drug Co., who are
agents for the celebrated mineral
well water known as Gray" is
enjoying an unusually good run
for this celebrated invigorant and
in consequence is receiving daily
shipments direct from the wells,
which insure preservation of all
medicinal properties. 1t may be
interesting to know just how this
famous water got its name. Here
is the story:
In the year 1880 well was dug
in what is now Mineral Wells,
Texas.
The peculiar properties of the
water attracted attention, and
many began its use. Among the
number were two ladies who were
sufferers to the extent that their
minds were seriously affected.
To the surprise of all, the ladies
were restored to health, and their
minds became normal, and from
this circumstance this well was
called the Crazy WELL"
Both ladies are living, and these
facts csn be verified by many who
know these circumstances.
"Crazy" Water has great thera-
peutic value and is recommended
for indigestion, constipation, stom-
ach troubles and rheumatism. The
water is put up in bottles of con-
venient size, and the Drug Com
pany will buy the bottles back
when empty, which makes the
cost of the water very moderate q.

TOYS 4.ooo Years Old Found.

Pictures of pieces Of crude sculpture
which archaeologists have assigned to
5000 to 5000 B. c., were shown at the
Royal Institution, London, by Rev. G.
H. w. Johns, who gave an address on
"Assyriology.' One OF the fragments
discovered represented, he said, the
heraldic device IF town called La
cash, which showed two eagles tear
ing an animal.
Describing big find at Susa in
1904, Mr.. Johns said that the objects
constituted a deposit of the founda-
tons of great temple. They included
hundreds of gold, silver, lead and
bronze objects, statuettes, jewelry and
autonomous quantity Of stone and
Cay objects, as we'll as precious
stones. Their beauty and variety were
enormous and all apparently belonged
to one period, 1900 B. C.
Among the articles discovered were
children's toys, which the youngsters
had evidently been permitted to put
with the deposit as votive Offering.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Impairment Stranger
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Avery Southern had ju3t had an
other streak of luck. That day he
had sold cotton just in time and
cleared $4,000.
Wealth was not an old story to him
as it was to the majority of the hard
ened money mongers of the street. 1t
was still enough of a novelty for him
TO wonder what he would do with 1t
all. But then he had no wife to help
him spend it.
He stopped at Angeles fruit stand
on his way home. He had no motor
car. There was plenty of time to get
one when he wanted it.
He rustled some crisp bills in his
pockets as Angelo picked over the
oranges to get him the finest. While
he stood there a girl stepped up be-
side him and waited for the little 1tal-
ian to finish with his customer.
Avery seldom noticed girls, but the
beauty of this one caught his eye.
She was young and her shabby clothes
did not conceal her grace.
1t had started to snow and she
shivered as she stood there, glanclng
impatiently at the clock on the wall
of the little shop as if jealous of ev-
cry second. Then Avery saw, too,
that her shoes were low and thin, that
her black suit was of summer weight
and the black hat of straw. Winter
came too soon for her, poor child" he
thought
Then his eyes wandered back to the
beautiful face She was pale, a trif1e
too white, perhaps, but her head was
high and her eyes as they met his
were those Of a queen. Then, as he
continued to gaze, she blushed and
turned away. Avery himself looked
anything but polished after strenu-
Gus day, and he needed a shave.
He got his oranges, took the change
for a dollar bill-to the establishment
and chagrin of Angelo, who expected
as usual to be told to keep it-tired
