South to Study Negro

The negro problem" is TO be
studied by a committee of Southern
ers. The Commission on Southern
Race Questions, composed of eleven
college professors, chosen from the
faculties OF eleven State Universe
ties. will meet in Georgia on Decem-
Der 10 to begin the first thoroughly
{, ganized and sympathetic and in
telligent effort to help the negro that
has been undertaken in the South
by the South since the colored man
became a citizen.
Northerners have hitherto been
almost alone in sociological efforts in
this direction. This commission is
composed OF Southerners who have
lived in the States where the negro
citizenship is large. and who, there
fore, should know something first
hand OF the conditions which they
seek to investigate and improve.

OF 81, 78l 900. and yet in the last
cam paign the tran mission of p0liti
cal documents by mail because Of
the franklng privilege cost the coun-
try So $50. 700. Had this ranked
mail been paid for at the ordinary
rates OF postage, the government
won id have been more than "a million
dollars to the good.
The figures SHOW that during the
last fiscal year the postal service
handled franked mail weighing 81,

NOTED EDUCATOR DEAD
DR.. w. w. Smith Chancellor of Ran
dolph-Macon System

DIR. w. w. Smith, president OIL
Randolph Macon Woman's College,
Lynchburg, and chancellor OF the
Randolph Macon System of Colleges
and Academies, prominen educa-
tor and a distinguished scholar OF
the Southern Methodist Church,
died Friday morning, at his resi-
dence in Lynchburg. DR.. Smith
had been in falling health for more
than a year, suffering from Bright's
disease.
During the early part Of the year
he spent three months in Southern
California, taking several coastwise
trips, but returned to,Virginia, very
t,te improved in health. For the
past month he had been losing
ground rapidly and his death was
not unexpected.

ard Nj. Smith. His mothers maid
en name was Ellen Blackwell. Dr.

cd in battle.
After the war he went to Ran

1871. From 1871 to 1873 he was as
Sociate principal and principal OF

ton be held until he became chan

pills. Today the enrolment is SIC;
the college property is valued at
$500, 900 and the school is known as
the "Vassar Of the South" nearly
all of which has been accomplished
through DR.. Smith S effor is.
DR.. Smith was one OF the best
known educators of the South, of

once said he had done more for edu-
cation in the South than any one
other man in her borders.

or in theVirginia Anti-Saloon League
and served one term of four years
in the Lynchburg City Council.

HIGH PRICES CAUSED
BY COST OF SELLING
Farmers Have to Pay Too Much
To Middlemen
MARKETING EXCEEDS RAISING
Costs Seven Billions to Sell Six
Billions Worth

Billions worth
When you pay 81 in the city for
what the farmer gets 46 cents for at
The railroad station you are support
ing the most wasteful system OF dis
tribution ever tolerated in any civil
lied country-and you do it every
day. That 81 cents difference be-
tween what the farmer gets and
what you pay represents the high
cost Of living.
That is the situation in a nutshell.
There is way to remedy IL, too, not
a cure all kind OF a panacea, but 8
real way out Perhaps the best
state ment OF the whole situation is
one by Mr.. B. f. Yoakum, the EN-.
pire builder OF the Southwest.
Writing in the December Worlds
Work, he says:
Last year the products OF all the
farms OF the United States we're
worth more tuan eight billion dol
lars. This government figure is
based on values at the farm. 1t is
safe to assume that less than. one.
third OF this product stayed on the
farm and was consumed there. The
farmers, therefore, marketed pro.
ducts for which they received six
billion dollars.
When those products finally went
into consumption, the public paid
for them more than thirteen billion
dollars. 1t cost seven billion dol
lars to distribute six billion dollars
worth of products from the farm to
the consumer.
The time is approaching when
very large part of the seven billion
dollars is going to be diverted into
the pockets Of the producer and the
consumer. The whole tendency of
our civilization has been to widen
the big gap between these two, the
man who grows und the man who
eats the products OF the soil. We
have allowed to grow up elaborate
and expensive methods to make the
cost of selling as high as it possibly
can be so that as many non pro
ducers as possible may feed at the
public expense. Today the tendency
is swinging in the opposite direc-
ton; and every man who lives by
the gathering Of profits from the
handlisg OF the necessities OF life is
called upon to show cause why be
should not be.
No man in his senses proposes 10
abolish entirely the merchandising
and selling machinery of the coun-
try. The new system of handling
farm products will not interfere with
the Legitimate commission business
of the country. Commission men
will always be necessary. They are
an established commercial organiza-
ton. An arrangement can be made
for the use of their machinery to
better ad vantage than other distri-
buting agencies. 1t is against the
and unnecessary ma
that our plans must be d.
rected."

Rats That Like Pork

Mr.. t. M. Hawkins reports costly
experience with wharf rats. A few
evenings ago fine SOW which he
owns, found nine fine little pigs. Mr..
Hawkins took special pains to fix
warm place for the SOW and pigs,
and, to his astonishment, the other
morning when he went to feed them,
he found that tho large rats had be-
gun inroads on his pigs, .and up To
yesterday, the rats had killed and
eaten four of the incest ones, and the
SOW had mashed two. The large rats
trimmed up one of the pigs as we'll
as could be done with sharp knife.
The feet were eaten off close with
the body, and there were prints of
the rats teeth just above the heart
where the rats had apparently killed
the pig before starting to eat it. The
people of the community have had
many costly experiences with the
large rodents. which are believed to
come here in grain cars, and some
systematic means of determination
will have to be adopted before young
chickens begin to hatch.

New Lease on Life

John A. Vernon came to town on
Tuesday, and drifted naturally into
the News office. He paid his wife's
subscription to this paper for another
year. and incidentally stated that his
wife's health is greatly improved.
Some of US recall that few years
ago Mrs. Vernon's health was very
poor, and that her eight children were
likely to be left motherless. Mr.. Ver-
non, after many failures finally Sc
cured the aid of DIR. Gross, the big
county physician, of Maxwell, and
Sam Bowen, who was here then fresh
from college, with his head full of
new things, and this combination of
the old practitioner and the new, sup
plementing the one the other, did his
wife great good, and she has a new
lease on life. So, there you are. Some
people believe in doctors, some be-
lieve in prayer, some believe in nei-
ther. Others still believe in both
combined. Ask Vernon which conibi.
nation. he believes in.
