information that will enable me to as
certain the names of the three cowardly
poachers who ran off, leaving their
dogs where | saw them hunting on my
land last Thursday afternoon. They
deserted their dogs and the dogs re-
reived the punishment their masters
deserved. These so-calIed sportsmer
sneaked around and when they thought
| had ridden home they knowingly anc
wiIfully hunted on my land, and later,
when | tried to get close enough tC
identify them. they ran to the woods,
leaving their dogs to pay the penalty Of
their law-breaking. M. Il. Rowe.

VIRGlNIsNs MAY GET GOOD PLACES
Congressman Will Land Chairmanships
After Long Service.

In the organization of the House
OF Representatives in the Sixty-sec-
ond Congress, with its Democratic
majority, some rich committee as
signments should fall into the laps
of Virginia members. Some of these
have had long experience and have
consequently that prestige which
comes from seniority
II cannot be stated just what
chairmanships will be given to this
State, for in considering such mat
ters there. is always taken into con-
sideration a distribution as to geo
graphical location, so that too many
chairmanships will not go to one
State. But certain 1t is that the
Southern States will largely fare the
best. not only because OF the major
ity they furnish of the Democrats
in the House, but also because. its
members for the most part nave
longer service behind them.
