CONGRESS ADJ0URNS
EXTRA SESSION CALLED

Washington, March 4.-Marked
by scenes of the widest disorder,
with Senator Owen of Oklahoma
refusing to meet President Taft,
Senator Baily of Texas handing in
his resignation and Representative
Johnson of Kentucky threatening
Speaker Cannon with a brick, the
sixty-frst congress adjourned today.
Within an hour after adjourn
ment President Taft called the six
ty-second congress to convene in
extraordinary session April 4.
Not in the memory of the oldest
veteran in either body have such
scenes been enacted around the
Capitol. 1t was necessary at one
point to threaten the entire demo-
cratic side of the house with arrest
under the mace" This did no
good. The minority, individually
and collectively, showed little re-
spect for the sacred symbol of au-
thority of the body. The violent
scenes continued.
Finally, when it was apparent
that the democratic flibuster against
the tariff board bill had progressed
to point where the postofice ap-
preparation bill was about to fail Of
passage, rendering an extra session
necessary, Canadian reciprocity or
no Canadian reciprocity, the repub-
-lican leaders yielded, and the ad-
ninistration's pet measure was
thrown overheard to save the day.
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee asked unanimous
concent that it might be with drawn,
and, amid deafening cheers from
the victorious democrats a n d
gloomy silence from the republican
side, the bill was consigned to the
legislative ash heap.
Then the postoffice appropriation
bill was finally passed and the
house, with one of thosequick tran
sitions of mood for which that body
is famous, proceeded, by unani-
nous consent, to pass resolution
thanking Speaker Cannon for the
manner in which he had presided
over the house. With a kindly
speech by Speaker-to-be Champ
Clark, a rising salute to Speaker
Cannon and round of cheers the
house adjourned.

LOCAL HISTORY MENTION,

Every old settled region is GER
tain to have lost many family
names that it once had. Below
we give list of names we have
come upon, every one of which ap-
pears to have been once in High
land. Some of these names have
been gone a very long while. In
some instances, our information is
tolerably full. In others, it is very
deficient. There are still other names
which should 60 into the list.
1t will be of much service to us
if any citizen will tell us more about
these families, especially those
whose names are not followed by a
star. What we especially need to
know is the exact farm or spot
where the family lived, the names
and marriages of such members OF
the family as are recollected, and
where the family went and when.
Also, we need other names which
do not appear in the list. But it is
not worth while to include families
whose stay in the county was for
only few years.
Let no one wait for another to
speak first. Address, O. F. Nor
ton, Monterey, Va.

LAWYERS OFFICE ROBBED.

Missing fr3msthe law office of
Hugh H. Kerr is typewriter which
rlghtfully belongs there. The loss
was discovered on Sunday after
noon and the supposition is that
the machine was stolen some time
between dark on Saturday and
dawn the next day. With it went
a box of blank legal paper and in
their stead was left an empty whis-
key byttle. Although a hot search
was in progress all day not a single
clue had turned up last night (Mon-
day. that would shed any light on
the robery.-Staunton Dispatch.

SERMON ON ADVERTISING.

Advertising is the motor of bust
ness. It's the power behind the
wheels. Good advertising is the
force that keeps business going and
growing. Business and advertising
can be likened to a train and loco
motive.
With a good fire and plenty of
steam in the boiler and the engi-
neer's guiding hand on the throttle,
the train rolls swiftly, steadily and
safely to its destination.
On the level stretches it takes a
steady, constant, even pull; on the
down grades the train gathers mo-
mentum from it's own weight. The
engine is hardly necessary then,
but
It's on the up grades that every
ounce of energy and power the cyl
inders can exert are necessary to
keep the train on its onward sweep.
Momentum will carry it along
for little way. If the incline is
short it may even 60 over the crest,
but
As the grades increase so must
the power behind the wheels in
crease, or the train will come to a
standstill long before the crest of
hill is reached.
It's then that the fireman rakes
his fire, throws on fresh coal, opens
his drafts and hampers, and keeps
watchful eye on the pressure
gauge.
Now, when the business train
reaches the steep grade of dull sea-
son does the business engineer In
crease the pressure? Does he Or
der additional fuel added to the fire
and open the throttle few more
notches? Does he keep his train
rolling onward, steadily, irresistibly.
without the loss of a fraction of the
momentum gained on the last down
grade? Does he increase the force
that keeps business going till ii
tops the credit? Does he redouble
his advertising efforts?
Strange as it may seem, 90 pei
cent. of the retail merchants lose
sight of what advertising really is
They seem to forget that advertis'
ing is the power that can change
their empty stores to a scene OF
bustling activity, make the dull
season as profitable as the busiest
months of the year.
If the advertising is good, if the
goods back up the advertising, the
results will follow that will keep the
business up to the normal condi,
ton, just as certainly as cutting of
the advertising will cut off business
at the same time.
ArrangeEyour advertising expend-
itures in advance, and set aside a
good proportion for dull seasons
and see your business going and
growing.

In an opinion embracing more
than 5000 words, Judge Christian
in the Corporation Court Monday
morning decided the contest of the
local option election in favor of the
"wets" and against the contesting
"drys." This means that the sa-
looms will resume operation in
Lynchburg after having been clos
ed since March 5, 1908. 1t is not
probable that the saloons will re-
open before May l, that being the
beginning of the new license year.
