Frequently a teacher will give much
special time to an Individual pupil
In order to aid him to make up back
work or strengthen himself to he
able to keep up with his class, and
when this Is about accomplished the
pupil is kept out of school or per-
United to stay out with the result

gives Of her time after the required
work Is done to the development of

Richmond, Va, Sept. 23.-The Off
cial count may be necessary to determ-
inc the nominee in the fourth congress

With four small precincts missing,
Judge Walter A Watson claimed to
have been nominated by majority OF
20. His opponent: Representative
Robert Turnbull, claims the nomina-
ton by majority of $50.
1t is likely that errors occurred in
the transmission of returns to news-
papers, many reports being sent iii
over the telephone from remote dis
tricts. In several instances conflicting
reports were received from the same
precinct.

Sailors and Negroes Fight.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. ga serious
race clash between 100 United States
sailors and negroes of South Norfolk
suburb, was averted last night by
the prompt arrival of a provost guard
IS strong, from the local naval train:
ing station.
The sailors went to South Norfolsi
to secure revenge for having one OF
their comrades struck by a stone
thrown by negro Saturday afternoon
when a column of bluejackets were re-
turning from baseball game.
The sailors first invaded the negro
tenement, extinguished the lights, ant
then threw the occupants of the house
into the street. They then chased the
negroes to the woods with a shower
of bricks and small paving stones.
In response to telephone message
the authorities of the naval training
station dispatched provost guard OF
sailors and marines with side arms.
The guard arrived before any one was
seriously injured, rounded up the dis
turbance makers, and sent them back
to quarters.

ALL DEMOCRATS FROM STATE
Solid Delegation in Congress is Way
Flood See it..

Congressman Hal D. Flood, of the
Tenth Virginia district, went to Wash
sington with the news that Virginia
will send solid Democratic delega-
ton to Congress next November. Only
one district in Virginia is Republican
and that is the Ninth, which IS now
represented by Bascom Slemp.
Representative Slemp had made up
his mind to retire from politics and
made the announcement to his friends.
This gave room for n uprising OF the
Bull Moose followers in the Ninth, who
tried to capture the nomination for one
of their number. The regular Repub-
licans, however, outwitted the Roose-
welt forces by placing the name OF
Slemp before the convention and NOM
mating him against his protest. MI.
Slemp later accepted.
4 Now the Bull Moose party has trot-
ted out candidate Of its own in Wal
ter Graham, of Tazewell county. He
will split Republican vote and make
the election of Judge Rufus A. Ayres
look almost certainty. Mr.. Slemp
while in Washington recently said he
thought he could straighten out the
tangle in the Republican ranks in his
own district. Mr.. Slemp's majority
over Henry c. Stuart two years ago
was only 200 out of a total vote Of
about $4,000.
Some interest is felt in Lynchburg,
especially on the part of Amherst coun
& ty eople who live in that county and
work in Lynchburg, over the political
situation in the Tenth congressional
district, and they will not feel salts
fled that Congressman Hal D. Flood
will not be opposed for reelection in
November by an independent candi-
date until the limit has expired which
a cndidate can have his name on the
official ballot for the November elec-
ton.
It is an open secret that disaffected
Democrats in the valley counties OF
the Tenth district are working like
beavers to get out candidate against
that up to this time they have not been
successful in their mission. Along
with this gossip comes the report that
a convention of the Progressives of
the district is to be held at Buchanan
next Thursday for the purpose of nam
ing candidate against Congressman
Flood.

Democrats of this county to the ma

the principles which it represents.
