The citizens of the District take a much
keener interest in the Commissioners es-
Inmates this year than they have for
long time past. Under new act of Con-
gress the estimates themselves cannot be
made public until they have been submit
ted to Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and therefore there is at pres
ent only a general understanding that
they call for an appropriation of about
$12, 500, 900, approximately twice the
amount of the estimated District reve-
nues This would be some $4,000 less
than the estimates submitted year ago,
when the Commissioners asked for S12,-
ST. $3.50. The bill as it was reported
to the House by committee provided for
an appropriation of $11, 49S, 81 so, which
figure was cut to S11, lis. 491 80 when the
bill passed the House. The Senate COM
mittee reported it to carry $12.21S, 1850,
and when it passed the Senate it had
been increased to S12.4SS, 1926 80. AS it
became a law it carried $12,O5I ,231.JO, as
against an appropriation for the fiscal
year 191O-1911 totaling $1O,6OS, O45.O9.
Thus the Commissioners estimates, as
they are at present understood, run to
something like $4,000 in excess of the
current law. If they should be reduced
in the same proportion as a year ago
the appropriation will be approximately
S11, 100000, leaving an unusually large
sum of District tax money to be applied
to the liquidation of the floating debt Of
the District.
1t will be matter of great interest
to the District people to know whether
the Commissioners have in their estimates
made allowances for net reductions in
current maintenance provisions. as sug-
gested by recent statements issuing from
the District building. The understanding
appears to prevail that smaller sums have
been asked for such departments as the
cleaning, lighting and surfacing of the
streets, perhaps in order to make
showing of ECONOMY" and possibly to
swell the allowance, for large projects.
The average citizen will not welcome such
proposed division of the funds, mas
much as the streets Of the capital are
by no means ideally surfaced, lighted
and cleaned, much being required to bring
them up to the standard which dwellers
in this community have good reason to
expect.

DR.. John E. jackson returned Sunday

attend meeting of the State Board of
Pharmacy, which adjourned Saturday
morning to meet next on the third Tues
day in July at Richmond. The session
was one of the busiest in the history of
the board, and the largest class that
ever applied for license to practice phar-
macy was examined.
All the old officers were re- elected. ss
follows: H. S. Arlington, Norfolk.
president; 7. A. Miller, secretary-treas,
urer, and E. L. Brands, field secretary.
The board unanimously adopted a res
olution looking to the uniformity of ex-
aminations for license to practice phar-
macy by all the States in the Union.
The plan is called pharmaceutical syI-
labus, and was prepared by the Nation
al Association of Boards of Pharmacy
and the American Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation. AS result. those who pass
examinations in one State will be re-
ceived in others.
Hereafter the meetings of the board
will be held on the third Tuesday in jan
usry, April. July and October Exami-

School Building Question Settled.

The solution of the school building
question in Graham is at last in sight.
On Monday the owners of the Graham
College property made a proposition to
the town council and Clear Fork district
school board that will, in all probability,
be accepted.
For some time they have been asking
$12, 600 for the property, and while all
citizens of Graham were agreed that
the old college property was the ideal
location, it Was also thought that the
property was held too high.
The school committee had ahout
agreed that the only solution of the
vexed question was to erect a new
school building in the bottom, despite
the disadvantage of the location, but
before the final steps were taken the
owners of the college property submit
ted modified proposition, and agreed
to exchange land with the town, foot
for foot, and give the town land on col
lege hill for a like amount of land owned
by the town in the bottom.
There seems to be no question but
that the school committee will accept
this latest proposition of the owners of
the college property, and that soon Gra-
ham will have school building in keep
ing with the rest of that progressive
little town.

Fatal Shooting Affray.

Thomas Harman was shot and killed
at Burnleytown, just outside the iucor-
porated limits of Pocahontas, on last
Saturday night by w. H. Barnett, who
is night watchman and policeman at the
coal operation of the Big Vein Pocahon-
tas Coal Company, which was formerly
the Browning mines.
1t appears that Harman was at q
Hungarian dance which was being given
after a wedding, and some trouble was
started, and Harman and Barnett got
into difficulty which resulted in Har-
man shooting at Barnett and Barnett
returning the fire, killing Harman inst
antly.
Barnett had hearing before ESQUIRE
A. w. Landon, of Pocahontas, on Tues
day, and was bound over to await the
action of the grand jury for manning
John Harman, cousin to the man he
killed. He arrived here yesterday in
charge of an officer, and is now confined
in Jail. He will also be indicted for the
killing of Thomas Harman
Another and later account of the af-
fair says that Barnett went to the dance
to arrest John Hartman, who resisted.
and the officer called on Thomas Har-
man, the man who was killed, to assist
him. Thomas Harman did not like the
treatment his cousin was receiving from
, the officer, and attempted to assist his
kinsman when Barnett fired at him.
killing him instantly.
Thomas Harman was once a police
man at Bramwell, w. Va.
Barnett had made application for a
commission as deputy sheriff of this
county. but his bond not being satisfac-
tory he was refused the commission.
