BY Med Burton.
Port Royal. Va. Jan. 10th. 1911.
To The Free Lance:

Port Royal. Va, Jan. 10th. 1911.
To The Free Lance:
Christmas is over and business has
begun such az threading corn, hauling
and saving wood, hauling lumber and
ties. loading vessels, repairing farm
implements, shooting of horses and
mules, which Indicate coming activity
among the farmers.
Among the fisherman the nets are
being spread for repairs preparatory 10
getting the shad entangled IN their
moshes. Then there are indications
Of another kind Of net being spread
TO catch something very different from
shad. There is marked activity in the
affairs of Port Royal in certain direc-
iio1s. The steamboats, playing between
Port Royal and fredericksburg are
doing an increased passenger business.
Some are coming to look over the
beautiful RappabannOck Valley with
view to becoming permanent parisho-
ners of our ever esteemed rector and
townsman, Rev. S. S. Ware. Others
are going up the river, but we expect
them back with boat load of mules
and may be a nice riding horse with
side saddle on it. Oh yes, coming events
cast their shadows in the direction OF
a distant county.
Our public school is being opened
after being closed for some time under
the management of the efficient teacher,
Mr.. Harry Amos, Of Wayland. We
welcome him.
Our very able State Senator DR.. c.
u. Gravatt, is at home. He has no
selfish motive in telling US how to raise
corn. He is a grand man, a Democrat in
politics, the senator is all right.
The representative in the House of
Delegates, Hon. ID. b. Powers, is right
here among US with his genial smile and
persuasive, winning ways. that are
far-reaching not only among the voters
but among the ladies, regardless OF age.
He embodies an element Of activity and
energy hardly equaled in the valley of
the Rappahannock.
Among our towns people many have
been absent for some time visiting rel
atives and friends. Among them, Mrs.
J. Taylor Thornton and two daughters,
visiting her father in Washington.
Miss Lille Askins has returned from
Baltimore, where she visited relatives.
Mrs. w. H. Carter is visiting her
mother at Quincy, but Ham has been
right here on the job all the time.
Messrs. w. b. Parish and Lev. Hicks.
have returned from Alexandria, where
they attended U. S. Court as jurors.
Among the students that have return
ed to school are Messrs. Marshall Grav-
AFT IN fInivpraifv of Virginia MAYNARD
and Aubrey Gibbs to V. 2. l., and
Morris Hicks TO William e. Mary Col
lege
Among the sick are MIR. j. Taylor
Thornton, his daughter, Miss Elizabeth;
Messrs. c. F. Hicks and c. Askins. II
is hoped the gentlemen will soon be
well again, giving evidence of their abili
ty to raise corn, make lumber, and de-
liver express packages.

COMMISSIONER KOINER'S GOOD
WORK.

We are just in receipt OF the bulIe-
tin of the State Department OF Agri-
culture and immigration, containing
the annual report Of the commits
sioner and the State Board and IN
like ordinary department reports we
find it most interesting and we are
sure it will prove even more so 10
the farmers in this State. On the
cover of the book under the head OF
"What the Virginia Farmers are
Doing" we find that in the year lsVO
the land products Of Virginia on
4.OSO. 300 acres of land amounted ID
dollars and cents to Sl29,OOO.OOO,
while in 1910 on S,S5O,OOO acres the
values of these products had IN
creased to S2S6,OOO,OOO; in other
words. on a much smaller area IN
1910 was raised, thanks to improved
methods and increased industry
crops far exceeding the value OF
those grown in 1900. The report Is
filed with the most valuable infor-
nation for the farmer, apple grower
cattle men, tobacconists, ard in fact
for every class of persons who make
their living on Virginia lands, and Is
made attractive as we'll as interest
ing by a free use of Photographic IL
lustrations, including a splendid PIC
ture of a four hundred acre field o.
alfalfa on the farm of Capt. Jack at
Port Conway in King George county.
Commissioner Koiner seems to be {
real live official and he is undoubted-
ly doing much, not only to advance
the interests of the Virginia farm
ers. but also to attract desirable set
tiers to this State. The work is an
important one, and the department
should be encouraged by the people,
especially the farmers. and upheld
by the Commonwealth.

UNCLE JOE COMES BACH

Uncle Joe Cannon has shown that
he can come back little bit and fol
q little time, at least. On Monday
the Speaker was sustained in ruling
upon the rules of the House, by an
overwhelming majority and his rul-
ing was identical with a decision he
made in March last in which he was
overwhelmingly defeated by a COM
bination Of Democrats and insur-
gent Republicans. On Monday last
the Democrats and regular Repub-
licans sustained him. This looks like
inconsistency on the part Of the
Democrats, but Representative Fitz-
gerald: Of New York. about sizes up
the Democratic attitude when he
announced in the House that the
Democratic attitude in March was
necessary at that time because Of the
conditions then prevailing, but that
those conditions had ceased to exist.
Whatever the merits or dement's
Of this attitude may be it is well for
the party that the occasion arose
when it did for reversing the position
taken in March. Had the Democrats
waited until next Congress, and then
voted as they have voted now, and
the occasion would undoubtedly have
been presented to them, there would
have been such partisan flavor to
their action as could not have been
consistently explained at all.
The Democrats have avoided
future embarrassment, and Uucle
Joe has earned the right to smile.
