Usually the stump burns down to

the burning, and it is on pine lands
that the method is in use.
The holes are usually bored by an
ordinary auger, according to Popular
Mechanics, but the work is so slow
thai especially constructed augers OF
the type shown in the illustration
have made their appearance in many
parts of the country. particularly in
Alabama. The outfit shown weighs
about sixty pounds and consists Of a
IL inch ship auger about six feet
long. mounted on a truck and stand

ism. With this machine it is possible
to bore holes five feet deep in a very
short time. and it is said that two
men can bore and burn as many as
100 pine stumps a day.

LET THE WHOLE TRUTH BE KNOWN.

In the course of HIS speech Friday night at
the Academy of Music Hon. W. A. Jones made
the statement that Richmond member of the
Legislature introduced a bill ct the last session
which aTected great industry in Virginia.
When asked Why he had introduced the mea-
sure the legislator stated that he had done so
at the request OF certain machine politician
and lobbyist in order that rne lobbyist might
go to the people who would be affected and
have himself employed TO defeat it. Mr.. Jones
declined 10 name the men involved.
We think Virginia in general and the city Of
Richmond in particular are entitled to all the
facts When man of the character and
standing of William A. Jones is willing to give
currency to such statement, the public must
take eognizance of It. Until the legislator who
is charged with lending the influence of his
position to advance the interests of corpora
ton batter" is named, Richmond's entire dele
cation in the Legislature is under suspicion.
This Is unjust to the members not involved in
the act alleged and we do not believe Mr.. Jones
I capable of such an injustice. Richmond's del
egation In the last General Assembly was as
