Naturally his Withdrawal has occa-
stoned deep regret among his many
friends throughout the district who
had confidently expected his nomi-
nation.
But the determination of Mr..
Montague to become a candidate ha:
softened The disappointment Of the
friends of Col. Harwood TO see the
metropolitan district represented bs
a younger and more active man
There Is to be no personal fight OF
Capt. Lamb, who IS personally
most excellent gentleman.
Strong pressure had to brought q
Montague to induce him to enter In
race against Capt. Lamb. both 0
whom belong TO the anh-machin
wing of the party. It's understood
that the Organization" VIII kee

TO Capt. Lambs credit. he has keT
his hands off of local affairs, inte
ing himself only in those things re

mitted 70 be one Of the foremost Q
ators of the state and is one
the brilliant men of the country.

Col. William Thompson, of
Hampton. the solicitor employed by
the Peninsula Good Roads Associa-
ton, arrived here Monday and began
hrs work. That is. he began talking
the beauties of good roads and sing
ing the praises Of the Peninsula Good
Roads Association in particular.
Judging from the splendid work al
ready done by this organization
and the Peninsula counties, one
would have thought the people would
fall over themselves joining and
paying up the dollar or two fee.
But he found the wcrk a real
task. One man said. show me a
singlegood road. and I'll contribute. -
Brainy man, that. Yes, let the
other fellow spend the money and
build the roads and men Of this ilk

That's the kind or men you viii
occasionally find here. as well as else
where. But Col. Tompson has me
with some encouragement. Such
men as Messrs. Philips, Person
Warburton. Spencer. and a few
others who are interesting themselves
in doing good for the town and stat'
in which they live. lent the agen
every assistance. and a number o

VALLEYS CROP OF
CANTAL0UPES WILL
Be TWO WEEKS LATE
Indications Now Are That Shipments
Will Be Fully TWO Weeks Be-
hind Those of Last Season

Owing to the continued cool nights
cold winds and the depredatiOns of lin
nets and blackbirds, it is estimated
that probably two-thrds of the val
leys cantalOupe crop has had to be
replanted this season.
This means that the season will be
probably two weeks later than that OF
last year. The first carload lots of
cantaloupes last season were moved
June 4.
In the north end of the valley the
depredations of blackbirds and linnets
have been particularly aggravating. In
many places great flocks of these birds
have created havoc with the young
plants.
The watermelon situation is also a
rather discouraging one Much of the
seed planted rotted in the ground be-
fore termination and the acreage will
be much less than al first ipdicated.
This crop will also be later than usual.
