NAME WILL Be GHAK6ED.
Well Known Educational Institution in Bris-
t0l 10 Have New Name,

The name of Virginia Institute, the
well known Baptist College, located in
Bristol, on the Virginia side, is to be
changed to Virginia Intermont College.
The school was formerly known as
southwest Virginia Institute, but its
name was changed some eight or ten
years to Virginia Institute, In order to
get name that would Indicate a school
OF more extensive scope. 1t is now pro-
posed to call the school Virginia Inter
mont College, and it is said there is no
question but that this name will be
adopted.
The school is now widely known as
w. l." With the new name this will
not be changed, but the word ''insti-
tute' will be dropped and the word lin
termont" used as significant of the fact
that the school is located between the
mountains.
The new name will be adopted for
general use after this year, and will be
used In the literature for next session.
1t IS also likely that DR.. J.. T. Hen
derson, president of the college, will
next year devote part of his time to
missionary work for his church, as Josh
ia Levering, chairman of the Southern
Baptist General convention, and ]. Har-
ry Tyler, chairman of the layman's mis-
slonary movement of the convention,
both OF Baltimore, appeared before the
board of trustees of Virginia Institute at
a special meeting held in Bristol on last
thursday, and petitioned the trustees
20 make arrangements whereby DR..
Henderson could give part of his time
curing the coming year to his work as
secretary of the convention, in the mat
Ter OF attending conferences and look
ing after the laymen's movement in the
church.
DR.. Henderson has already obligated
himself to devote his whole time 10 the
school work, but the church very much
desires that arrangements be made
whereby he can give a part of his time
TO his work as secretary of the lay
mems movement. DR.. Henderson has
been IN the work some two some years
and has been so eminently successful
that strong pressure is being brought to
pear on the trustees of the college to
have 1t arranged for him to continue to
give portion of his time to the cause.
The matter of allow DR.. Henderson the
privileges asked will be determined at a
meeting of the trustees to be held in
Bristol this week.
Since above was written the board
met and refused the request of Messrs.
Levering and Tyler. DR.. Henderson
Will therefore devote his entire time to
the Virginia Intermont.

Southwest Virginia Game and Fish Club

A number of persona interested in
protecting game and fish held a meet
ing last week in the Office of j. f. Bull
lit at Big Stone Gap with a view of or
ganizing a game and fish CLUB, for the
protection of game and fish in Wise and
adjacent counties of the State The
purpose of the club is to get members
interested in the subject from every
county in the Southwestern part of the
State on the waters of the Holston,
Clinch, Powell's river and head waters
of Big Sandy river, who will pledge
themselves to do all they can to have
the laws enforced for the protection of
game and fish, The club proposes to
raise considerable fund through initia-
tion fees and subscriptions which will
be devoted to the prosecution of all who
may violate the law. They expect to
employ a lawyer in each county who
will give especial attention to the pros
ecution of all cases occurring in his
county.
1t is believed that if the law against
seining and dynamiting, particularly,
were enforced, this would be the finest
section of country for game fish, es-
pecially black bass, in the United States.
For years past, however, numerous
parties have been both seining and dy-
namiting to such an extent that it is a
rare thing for anyone to make a good
catch. All that is needed ia to have
someone to bring the matter to the at
tention of the courts and this, the Game
and Fish Club promises to do.
Especial attention will be given to
the enforcement of the law which pro-
hibits the taking of bass in any way be-
tween the 18th of March and the 18th
of June; the law which prohibits the
taking of bass in any way, except hook
and hne. at any time; the law which
prohibits seining for any kind of food
fish with a seine of less than a two inch
mesh, and the law which prohibits the
dynamiting of fish.
Anyone who desires further informa-
ton on the subject should address the
Southwest Virginia Game and Fish
Club, Big Stone Gap, Va.

Good Roads.

To show how former citizens of Taze-
well county feel in regard to the recent
bond issue election we quote from a let
ter received this week the following:
want to congratulate you on the
most excellent work your paper did dur
feel sure it is the wisest thing the coun-
ty ever did; and, Furthermore, believe
posterity will consider the privilege of
helping pay for the roads a precious
heritage, as compared with the roads
over which their forefathers had to
travel.
Although l will, perhaps, never
again have to travel the old roads, am
glad that Tazewell county will have
good roads and has so expressed itself
by SO large a majority, thus placing
itself where it rightly belongs, in the
van OF the great and progressive coun-
ties of the State"
