by the Capitol police, and inspected
daily to see that no damage was done
Colonel RansdelI today pointed out
things about the Capitol closely enough
to make sure there would be no vandal-
ism. With the utmost vigilance, it is
possible for vandals, souvenir hunters,
and others to make way with objects
and escape detection.
Exam!nation of the Senate records to-
day disclosed that the resolution au-

was passed March 2, 1866. It was six
wears later, however, before the paint

before the finishing touches had been
put on it.. 1t represents years of hard
effort on the part Of the artist.

Il is rellahly reported here that
the Toano truckers have not yet
given up all hopes of getting po-
tato crop from the early planting
which has been reported TO be a to-
tai failure. Il IS now said the crop
will be fairly good but about two
weeks late. This is good news ana
viii encourage the planters TO wait
awhile before giving up All nope.
The good rains thatc came all but. too
late have started the crop growing
and where there are any potatoes at
all il is believed they will mature and
yield well.
The prices ara away up. and II
only a half crop is gotten. that Will
be enough TO bring the truckers out
in good shape. and revive theirdroo
ing spirits. Let us hope the report
OF a half crop viii be realized.

PLAN TO COLLECT

of the city council, which met last
night. The old moss-grown system
Of the collector who, without uuiv-
er of relenting, threatens to stop the
bow of the vital fluid if the cash is
not produced is to be done away
with. The club is to be replaced
with the more powerful stimulant
OF an appeal to the pride.
The great glare of the calcium of
publicity is to be turned on all de-
linquent water users in the future
and it is predicted that no other
scheme under the sun could could
have been devised which will bring
as good results
Posted in conspicuous places in
the official paper of the city will be
the names of those who have failed
to pay a call at the water office
with the necessary cash in hand IT
will be an assault upon the pride
that should spur the most unre-
sponsive citizen to strenuous activi-
ties in order to pay his bill.
The idea was first advanced by
Mayor Mark Graves and Councilman
S. w. Greenwood and met hearty re-
sponses with the other members of
the council and the measure was
passed unanimously.
