world wide heroism of our Lee and
Jackson.
Resloved, That we as Daughters of
the Confederacy revere and honor the
name and memory of Captain C. A /.
Fudge as gallant soldier in time of
war and as patriot in time of peace
always true to his conviction. One
byone, the old veterans are passing

An Opportunity
for Busy Farmers.

The Virginia Polytechnic Institute
annou: ces n new course in Agriculture
The V. i. |, alrcady has four years
course io Agriculture for the training
of Agricultural specialists: II two
ycnrs course III Agriculture for the
trimming of young men who expect to
engage in farming, and several
couraes Of one month each, given in
the winter. for the instruction of
farmers and their CONS. The new
course last only four days, aud will
be given this year from December
3lst To January Bird. II is for practi-
cnl farmers who cannot spnrc a longer
time from their work, hence the
name Farmers Week. -
The preliminary announcements.
! just received, state that the four days
will be devoted to discussions of some
of the most important problems of
Virginia farmers. including methods
of maintaining soil fertility, the use
of fertilizers, corn. grass and potato
growing, crop rotations. dairying,
the farm orchard, the breeding and
feeding of live stock. These and other
subjects will be discussed in prncti-
cal way by the agricultural faculty
of the " +. /. and by number of
speakers from different pnrts of the
State and from other States. Two
hours each day will be devoted to
demonstrations of important farm
operations. The Virginia Growers
Association will meet at Blucksburg
during Fnrmrea' Week, and will have
a Competitive exhibit Of cora.
The expense of attending Farmers
Week will be small. 1t is probable
that the railroads will grant reduced
rates. and visit RS will be boarded by
the College at cost. No fee is charg-
ed. Since Farmers Week comes dur
ing the holiday season, when the
regular students are absent, the Col
legc will be able to take care of all
who come.
The idea that the Agricultural Col
lege has duty to the mature far
mers of the State. as well as to the
comparatively few young men who
matriculate as regular students, is
now generally recognized. Nearly
every agricultural College now offers
short winter courses, and at many
Farmers Week similar to that
established by V. p. /, has been a
profitable feature for several years.
We hope our farmers will go to
Blacksburg in large numbers. The
Agricultural College was established
to serve the farmers of the Stc.e,
and here is good opportunity for
them to get in touch with it.

Daughters of the Confederacy. From
the reports coming to this office the
ladies have been having the time of
their lives. 1t is said that in one of
the cities between here and washing
ton the ladies were mistaken for mill
tant suffragettes, and it was with
much difficulty they convinced the
curious that they were from Tazewel
and had no desire to vote as long a:
their husbands and brothers kept the
faith of pure democracy.

QUICLEY MILLS TO

Pennsylvania Capitalists look

MIR. Edwin II. Warner, who owned

Company at Asberry for several
years. but who has been living in

party of gentlemen from PENNSYLVANIA.
The party left Monday for Poor Val
ley. on an inspec zion tour of the
pn'g'ey properties and the timber
lands in Beart Town. which are owned
b. Pennsylvania capitalists.
Mr.. Warner stated to II represent
ative of this paper that If proper
railroad nr trowmay facilities could
be gotten the timber in Poor Valley
aud Bcnr Town would he cut and The
mills ut Asberry would resume opera-
tions. IL is probable that the owners
of the Bear Town land will take over
the Gu iglcy mills. II IN said that the
road trnmway may cross rich mountain
and pass near this town.
a few years ago it wns proposed to
establish furniture factury in this
town. using the timber nnm punr
Valley, which is of the rihgt kind to
make all kinds of Office furniture.
This maybe rnorher opportunity for
an enterprise for Tazcwcll. and the
attention of the Civic Improvement
League is herbey culled to the matter.

ing power of the government. What
will they do with them? Anwser

"This party has the confidence of
all classes and conditions of people.
This confidence was expressed at the
polls" Good Hold on to that con-
fidence.
"They had great conglomeration
of followers, representing the robbed
and the robber, now the question is
How can Governor Wilson please them
all. How can this be done?" An
swer: With apologies to Mr.. Roose-
welt, it might be done by taking the
vested interests into partnership with
himself, have them chartered by the
government as necessary permanent
institutions and then keep them cor
rallied by squad of "Rough Riders"
ready for fat frying on OCCASION.
That would dispose of one master.
The other, the common people, maybe
could be fooled, as in the past, fol-
four years more. But this is not our
answer.
The editorial further says: "It
Governor Wilson can harmonize these
conflicting interests and keep them
harmonized for four years he will
give this country the greatest ex-
ample of serving two masters the
world has ever seen!"
Brother, don't alarm yourself
don't lose sleep and appetite and gt
into spasms over imaginary difficulties
There are not two masters in tn,
case, not even one. Governor Wilson
is the representative of that grea
following that reached from the gul

and they have no master. Governo

RIGHT MAN FOR
FARMERS SCHOOL
v. P. l., A Most Important
State Institution, Should
Have Head of Ability.

Commendable effort is being made
to secure the tight man to succeed
DR.. 3arringer as President of the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Men
fitted for such position are not
readily available, it seems. The sup
ply is not equal to the demand. The
papers stated recently that two pro-
fessors for chairs in two great agri-
cultural schools had been secured,
after long search, at salaries of
$40, 600 per year. Such men are few
and far between. Men entirely COM
petent and fitted for the conduct of
other schools and colleges may be and
usually are, entirely unsuited for the
leaders of agricultural colleges. The
agricultural college at Blacksburg is
and permanent development of the
States great business-agricultu
than any other single institution in
the State, and we were about to say,
of all other institutions combined, so
far as agriculture is concerned. Not
that the other schools are not doing
good work and needed work but the
work proposed by Blacksburg is
unique, in that it is doing a great
work that no other school among us
is doing or can do. v. P. l. should
have a great President and a great
flculty.
The institution should grip the
State, make itself felt in the State.
This it. has done so far only to a pro-
vokingly limited extent. Too few
farmers in this State know anything
on earth about Blacksburg, and many
of those who do know care nothing
about it. Agriculture, in it's broadcast
sense, is the business of this State,
We chief business. All other occupa-
tions are incidental, and the Agri-
cultural school that does not take
hold, and firm hold of this great
interest is misnomer and super
fiuous institution. We don't know who
ought to be or will be, the new Presi-
dent, but we do know he ought to be
great scientific Agriculturist, as
well as broad, magnetic leader. We
all hope to live to see the day when
V. p. I. can be justly styled, "a
Great" Institution. Ed.
