GOOD WORK TO COME.

The establishment OF three new agricultural
department of agriculture is important more
for what 1t portends than for the good that
will Immediately follow These stations will
be used principally to educate the farmers of
the counties in which located in the use of
proper fertilizers and the results accomplished
by the other stations in the State give warrant
that good Will result, but the best work will
not be accomplished until the Idea of the de-
partment to establish one of these stations in
every county In the State comes to fruition.
/. With permanent stations already established
in Norfolk and Augusta counties with station
at V. p. /. cooperating with the State and
with national department headquarters at
Burkeville IT would appear that much good has
is more to be done and the hands OF the de-
partment OF agriculture should be upheld In
tie work. Commissioner Koiner expresses the
hope that this work will be completed before
many years have passed. The stations already
established have demonstrated their value to
the communities and there is reason why
other sectionsI OF the State should not have
similar advantages 1t is to be hoped that his
prophecy that that day IL not distant when
Virginia will lead every State in the Union in
It come true is to continue the good work OF
the department In establishing these expert
ment stations.

GRAND JURY NOW PROBING
NINTH DISTRICT ELECTION
Working the Theory Of General Conspiracy to Violate
Barksdale Law, Witnesses Are Summoned
From Many Counties

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
NORTON, VA, Nov, 22.---~ .lat
may prove a veritable drag net for
the whole Ninth district will be
started tomorrow when witnesses will
be summoned from the counties of
Scott. Lee, Dickinson. Russell and
the city of bristol, to testify before
the Wise county grand jury. which
is now In session investigating viola
tons in the recent election. 1t Is
said that under the Barksdale pure
election law witnesses can be sum
moned from any part Of the state and
made to testify on the ground OF a
general conspiracy to Violate the law.
The present investigation will go
forward on the theory that II there
were violations of the law in any
county. a general or partial under
standing to such effect was had be-
tween party managers throughout
the district. 1t il planned to ex-
anime the witnesses from the coun-
ties named above and the city OF
Bristol at this term of the court and
II revelations seem to warrant a con-
tinuance OF the investigation, that
witnesses from other counties VIII be
summoned to appear before the next
term of the court.
The present grand jury has exam
ined a large number of witnesses in
this county. but 1t Is learned that
SO far very little has been done In
gathering evidence sufficient to war
rant the return OF indictments. The
grand Jury will continue in session
the balance OF this week and Will
probably bold a session or two next
week.

in Constantinople. Once a Christian church.

Christ will bow In worship where for long
the Mohammedan has knelt and turned his face

church or will be destoyed forever there seems
ito be little doubt now.

TURKEY REJECTS ARnsTICE.

Turkeys rejection OF the Bulgarian terms
for an armistice and the order TO resume hos
filities may mean much little. 1t may
mean: continuation OF the war for weeks
ara possibly months and 1t may mean only
i short delay in bringing about peace.
Turkeys prompt action In the matter came
- a surprise to the diplomats OF Europe who
are now puzzling over It's probable meaning,
but your Turk yields nothing to Bret Harte's
Chjnaman In ways that are dark and tricks
lEat are vain. AS diplomat his reputation
Ii equal to what 1t once was a fighter and
unless he has lost his cunning as completely
as he seems to have lost his fighting qualities
he will make the Balkan allies and the Euro
pean lookers-on spend some sleepless nights
before the dove of peace Is again allowed a
Resting place In The near East. @9- -
Two explanations of Turkeys attitude are
made. either of which may be true, while, on
tbe other hand. 1t is just possible that the
real reason is to be found elsewhere. The
1.oslems may be seeking to prolong the war
4eF such length OF time that the European
nations will be compelled to step in to stop
the slaughter and cholera ravages in the name

paper q request to Mr.. F. r. Cook, who delivered
a discourse last Sunday afternoon.
We understand he will again deliver dis
course at the Lubin next Sunday afternoon.
His discourse then was entitled 'Untangling
the Tangles" and he, in the estimation OF very
many. handled his subject most intelIgently,
answering questions and giving light on sub
jects which seemed full of mystery TIL he un-
folded them by the light of Gods word. He
agreed to answer any question concerning our
future life he 1t In the Bible. The
questions concern everyone and the subject be-
ing important to all We trust you Will give space
requested.
Question 1. II. as he said, there are esti-
mated twenty billions of humanity sleeping in
the graves and they are all to come forth ana
live on this earth again, where Is the food to
come from to feed that very large number?
With the small number on the earth
many are living in discomfort through scarcity
of food and high prices charged.
Question 2. In the revised version OF the
new Baptist Bible among other changes He'll
(torment) Is changed to read the underworld.
The world he understands is round, revolving
in space kept in its place by gravitation WIN
you tell where it is possible this underworld
can be-the old he'll?
Question g. The writer heard two discourses
from learned minister: his subject
Where Are the Dead?" He said at death the
wicked were sent to torment. the good went to
heaven. remaining there till the Judgment day
when those in heaven and those In hell will be
called back to the possession OF their old bodies
and be Judged. Those worthy of heaven VIII
go back the unworthy will be sent back to tor
ment with the rest of the wicked. John D..
xxviii-xxix reads that all coming out of their
graves and live. Are these separate from the
heaven and torment classes?
Question 4. The place OF torment must be a
very large place as Christ said: Narrow Is the
way that leads to eternal lie and few there
be that find II, but broad is the way that leads
to destruction and many there be that And It.
SO out of the twenty billion, many, very many.
will be in torment. Revelations 90. II reads
that the devil will bound thousand years
who will succeed him to everyone gets a

The inability or refusal of the good women
striving to make the home OF Thomas JeneF-

property to see fully both sides of the ques-

the State of Virginia or a society similar to

sentiment creditable to it's possessors. Patrio-
tic Americans, whatever they think of the

with approval the passage of Monticello from

visitors are extended every courtesy and
allowed every possible privilege and it is Inn
probabie that from this standpoint conditions
would be improved by public ownership The
right of domain is the side of Mr.. Levy
a9though Mrs Lttieton and her friends do not
seem to realize the fact: sentiment is on the
side of those who would have the United
States acquire the property, though Mr.. Levy
seeks to show that sentimental reasons alone
arfuate him In fighting to hold the property.
The situation at this time seems to be this:
The Jefferson M onticello-M Memorial Association
u determined to secure the property for the
United States government, and Mr. Levy, antag-
onized by the associations attitude. is deter
mined not to dispose OF 1t as the association
There is right on both sides, but neither cares
d give into the other The basis of the COM
promise was suggested by Mr.. Levy himself
when he intimated that he might give the prop
erty to the Daughters of the Confederacy. 1t
would be better, however, should he turn 1t
over to the State of Virginia or to Month
cello association. yet to be formed. By so
drIng he would give an exhibition OF more
worthy sentiment than that which ne claims
makes him wish to hold his possession, would
dispose of the property to those who have a
greater claim upon il than the federal govern
rrent and he would not be yielding to those
whom he does not regard with the most
kindly feelings.
