VIRGINIA MAY GET
LARGE CAMP SITE
Government Expects to Establish
Near Washington

Establishment OF a great national
camp ground in Virginia, not far
from Washington, d. c., is now be-
ing planned by the War Depart
ment. A tract of not less than TO-
600 acres, and as much more as can
be secured, is wanted.
General Evans, chief of the Bureau
of Militia Affairs, has already COM
municated with Adjutant-General
w. W. Sale on the subject. He said
that he had no authority to proceed
with securing such a site, but he
was evidently making inquiries I'M
der authority. He minated that
perhaps the land needed would be
donated to the government for the
purpose.
The reason for this would, Of
course, be the revenue derived by
the roads from hauling the troops.
For example, General Evans said
that a camp ground in the North
west had resulted in the payment
OF $500, 900 to the roads carrying the
men to that point. He said further
that he was mentioning this matter
elsewhere, presumably extending
the same opportunity in Maryland,
Delaware and Pennsylvania.
1t has been suggested more than
once that many thousands Of acres
lie between fredericksburg and
: Alexandria, on the line of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac.
which is practically reproductive,
and which should be purchasable at

it would be well worth it to this

: with it to buy from 10000 to 20, 600
: acres OF land and present it to the
: government.
Such tract would in effect con-

OF large appropriations for that pur-
pose. 1t would, it is anticipated, be

point for such mobilization of troops
= as has just been accomplished at

Carnegie Is Foe of Christianity

Bulletin Issued on the Cure of Cancel

Calling attention to the apparent
ly rapid increase OF cancer in the
country and urging the Importance
of early diagnosis and prompt treat
ment, the State Health Department
has in press a special bulletin on
cancer which will be distributed
during the coming week.
Statistics are cited in the bulletin
which indicate that cancer is rapid
ly becoming a serious menace TO the
country, and it is freely predicted
that unless the mortality from this
disease is reduced, cancer will ere
long claim as many victims as all
forms of tuberculosis combined.
That cancer can only be cured by
removing all the diseased cells, and
that this can best be done by prompt
and complete operations, is the chief
point urged by the Department edi-
tors. Other forms of treatment are
discussed but the benefits to be de-
rived from an operation, in most
forms of cancers, are declared to be
the best hopes of recovery.
The one cheering note In the bulle-
tin is the declaration that perhaps
, every cancer, in its early stages,
can be cured by prompt treatment.
Delay" declares the Department
+ editors, can only mean death ::
, prompt and thorough treatment in
the beginning of the trouble, will
frequently remove all evidences of
the trou BILE before cancer develops. -
A large edition of this bulletin
has been prepared and will be dis
; tributed, as are all the bulletins OF
the Department free upon request.

HONOR MOTHERHOOD OF
THE UNITED STATES
Mothers Day To Be Observed Next
Sunday

The second Sunday in May is set
apart by the Mothers Day Fedora
ton to be observed throughout the
world as Mothers Day. The special
aim of this observance is to honor
motherhood in general and particu-
larly to encourage each man and
woman and boy and girl to give APP
propriat~ expression to his respect
and reverence for his own mother.
The Federation suggests the fol-
lowing as the manner of the obser-
vance:
Loving remembrance Of your
mother (or her memory through
some distinct act of kindness, tri-
butte, visit, or letter.
Live this day as your mother
would have you.
IF you can, have her as your
guest OF honor.
Or, go back home and give her
pleasure.
''Or, write her a letter of praise
and gratitude; send gift with it,
or at least memory flower. No
one is too poor or busy to send a
letter home.
IF she be not living, perhaps you
can place on her grave the white
flowers of love and fidelity, not as a
morbid sentiment, but in glad recog-
milton that she was the best moth
err that ever lived.
"On Mothers Day wear a white
flower, or your mothers fOvorite.
Give one to some one else to wear,
and remember sick or unfortunate
in hospitals, homes, or prisons.
Thus you may set the blood to ting
ling in the veins Of those you think
have no heart, and who may think
you have none.
while any flower may be worn,
the white carnation is the special
Mothers Day flower. Its white.
ness stands for purity; it's form,
beauty; it's fragrance, love; its wide
field of growth, charity; its lasting
qualities, faithfulness.

The Pamunkeys Claim Exemption


The Pamunkey Indians are the
direct descendants of Pow hatan and
Opecancanough and this remnant
of once numerous and proud race

reservation, most of it swampy
land, lying within the county OF
King William. 1t is chiefly fit fer

pursuits, added 10 the cultivation
Ct small farms, the remaining Pa
munkeys live together and keep up
their tribal relations.
For many, many years they have
= been the wards OF the State, paying
no tribute except the yearly gift OF
game to the Governor, making an
annual pilgrimage with deer. wild
ducks and turkeys to the Executive
Mansion.
Now a State inspector has levied
a tax of 81 80 on-three fish sci 7es
belonging to the Indians.
Chief Cook, of the Pamunkeys, has
called on the Governor to protest,
and the Governor has referred the
matter to the Attorney General to
know if their claim of exemption
from all taxation since colonial times
is valid.
BY sentiment, if not by fact, the
Pamunkeys should be continued in
the exemption from taxation. They
have no voice in State or county af

been, wards of the Old Dominion.

REPUBLICANS BARRED
FROM THE PRIMARY
Democratic Executive Committee
So Decides In Richmond
CANDIDATES ASSESSED $4,000
Largest Assessment in History of
Virginia Politics


The largest amount ever charged
up to political aspirant for Office
in Virginia for primary election ex-
penses was agreed upon last Wed
nesday night at the special MEETING
of the State Democratic Committee,
held in Murphy's Hotel, Richmond,
when the assessment OF the four
candidates for the United States
sepatorship was fixed at s.. 900 each.
The large assessment is caused by
the fact that there are so few candi-
dates to be voted for in the general
primary.
On the question OF assessment,
Chairman Ellyson reported that a
number of counties had not replied
to his request for Information as to
the amount Of money needed Civ
ing these the same amounts they
had at the last primary, the total
cost would be $l2, 1853. As, counting
5000 for headquarters expenses,
such as printing, postage, station
cry, stenOgraphers and poll books.
A complete plan was adopted for
the conduct Of the primary election,
which carries the usual party pledge.
Candidates for the two different
terms in the United States Senate
are to be voted on separately, and,
in fact, no suggestion was even
made that all four names should be
placed together, and that the voter
should be permitted to vote for any
two.
In accol dance with the party plan
| the dates OF September for the pri
| mary, and OF June for the fling O
, notices of candidacy, were adopted
Resolutions coming from the Vir
ginia Democratic League were quick
ly disposed of. One OF these was
intended to define under what cir.
( Gums tances and with what qualifi.
cations Republicans might partici-
pate in Democratic primaries. and
was voted down with practical
unanimity. Another would have
allowed any two candidates for the
; United States Senate to name one oil
| the judges of election at each pre-
} cinct. The latter was ruled out or
a point of order.
I On the subject of Republicans
voting in Democratic primaries, i
3 was the sense of the committee tina
the body had no right to add to o.
0 modify the party law as adopted il

. to merely emphasize upon the Judge

tions and united with the church OF
his fathers. He soon after wards
became DESTROYS of entering upon
the Gospel ministry and to qualify
himself for that calling by obtaining
such an education as was required
by the standards prescribed by the
Presbyterian Church.
1t is more than a coincidence
that, in the Providence which direct
their destinies, William Graham,
the founder of Liberty Hall Acad-
envy, should have had for his class
mate and admiring and trusting
friend at Princeton. him who is. and
will be, illustrious as Light Horse
Harry Lee" and as the father Of
him whose labors, and the heritage
of whose influence and immortal
name have made possible, under
God, the existence. and wise leader
ship. the greatness ind splendid
usefulness of Washington and Lee
University.
While he was at Princeton the at
tention of the Reverend Stanhope
Smith, then at the head of the Semi
nary recently established at Hamp-
den Sidney, Virginia, was attracted
to William Graham by reason OF his
genius, industry and piety." Mr..
Smith afterwards urged young Ora
ham to come to Virginia and take
charge of, or aid in the conduct OF
q Classical School at Mount Pleas
ant, less than mile north OF toe
village of Fairfield. in Rock
bridge county, then in charge of
Reverend John Brown. This school
had first been conducted by Robert
Alexander in and after 1749, being
then located near Greenville, in Au-
gusta county, under the name OF
Augusta Academy. 1t was after
wards taught by Reverend John
Brown as it's principal, being re
moved first to point near
Old Providence church in Auguste
county, and again removed to Mount
Pleasant, in RookEridge county.
Hither upon the advice and rec
ommendation of Reverend Stanhope
Smith young Graham came in the
Fall of 1774 as assistant to Mr.
Brown.
Mr.. Brown having resigned tn,
headship of this school. Mr.. Graham
was chosen its principal in 1915, IN
: der the title of Rector, John Mont
gCmery as his assistant. The Acad
envy was then, as it had been TO
years, conducted under the auspice
and control OF Hanover Presbytery
the Jurisdiction OF which embrac Q,
the whole colony. On the 9th c
May. 1776, the Presbytery deter
mined to exercise its control Of th
:, school through body of twenty
