FARMVILLE GIVEN AID

BY dint of three hours of the hard
est and most tiresomc work of the
session, the Senate yesterday finished
with the first year of the general ap-
propriations bill. One amendment that
does not affect any figures will be
taken up at noon today, after which
tho Senate, without stopping for
breath. will delve into a maze of fig
ures In the second years budget.
With the bill considered and out
of the way there will be an open road
for work ahead. In putting the bill
before the Senate yesterday. Mr..
Echols, chairman OF the Finance Com
mittee. said members had spent the
best part OF a month getting II In
shape, and that 1t repr vented their
best efforts. They had considered re-
quests for appropriations, he said,
from every angle, and had apportion-
ed the ST., 100000 for the two years
as they thought 1t needed. They had
tried to make economy the rule
throughout the work.
Few Changes Made.
The committees work was accepted
almost without question. A few
amendments were added, the largest
of which carries an expenditure of
only S6,VVV. Inc Dill was fRsTFa SEQ
by total OF s7,7Io.
There was no objection to amend
ments adding $500 to the contingent
fund OF the Secretary of the Com
monweaith and $50 to the salary OF
the night elevator man at the Capitol.
An amendment, ruled out Of order.
offered by Mr.. Foxes. provided that
$4,000 be set aside for expenditures
at the Executive Mansion. AT pres
ent $4,000 Is given. which Is taken
from the contingent fund. Mr.. Holt.
in tho chair, ruled that the amend
ment should have been offered earlier.
Increase Farmyille.
Mr.. Walker added an amendment
by a vote OF 81 to Is increasing the
annuity fund of the State Normal
School at Farmville from $4,000 to
$4,000. He was supported by Mr..
Brock. Objection came from the
chairman of the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Echols. who declared the COM
mittee had given every cent it could
to the normal schools. Mr.. Walker
replied with the statement that other
normal schools had been given more
in the past few years than has the
Farmville school since It was estab-
lished twenty-seven years ago. He
did not think Mr.. Echols' plan to take
$4,000 from the building fund and
place 1t on the annuity fund a wise
one.
Amendments adopted increase the
salary Of the superintendent of the
State epileptic colony by $3.50 and the
salary Of the State Dairy Commission
er by $500.

got together. and Murphy had Attell on
the run for fully two minutes. Attell
then began to fight back and he GER
tainly put in some good licks. Attell
pinned Murphy against the ropes and
kept him there by srasping the upper
rope with his left hand. Murphy was
as helpless as though locked in a vice,
and meanwhile Abe rammed blows into
the midsection.
The fighters were entangled In such a
way that the referee did not see the
actual condition of things. When Grit.

Attell had his opponent anchored. he
