DRAFTS WILL BE
LIGHT THIS YEAR
SUPPOSED DRAFTS WILL BE
FEWER THAN FOR S YEARS.
Big League Scouts Hsve Gone
Through Minors Taking Every
thing Promising.

When the minor league drafts by
the majors are announced in the near
future they will probably be lighter
than has been the case within the last
four or five years. According TO the
agreement formulated last winter the
price for players who are TO 20 up by
draft has been almost doubled and
clubs are leary about plunking down
a big roll of money for a recruit who
may fail fatty.
In recent years approximately TWEEN
ty-seven players have gone from the
Central or an average OF about three
TO each club in the league. Unless
present indications fail this number
will be cut in half and not because
there are not as many good ball play
ers in the league nov as was the case
in summers gone by. but simply be

Gilmore's Mills, Feb. 26.-Mr. w.
G. Hughes, popular merchant OF
this place, was married last We'd
nesday to Miss Clarkson of Clifton
Forge. Immediately after the mar
riage they left for Washington and
other points of interest. On their
arrival here Mrs. Hugh Shafer, sis
ter of the groom, gave reception
which was attended by a large
crowd OF invited guests. Those
from a distance were Mr.. Clarkson
and two sisters, brother and sisters
OF the bride, Mr.. La1dram, cousin
of the bride, Mr.. H. A. Ogden Of
Clifton Forge, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes of Bedford, father and
mother of the groom. Mr.. Hughes
aud his bride will reside al Gilmore' s
Mills. We gladly welcome them to
our community.
DR.. ID. G. BurkS met with a very
bad accident while returning home
from the reception at Mrs. Skaters.
The buggy raa upon q bank and
turned over. He had with him his
wife, sister and little son, and
friend, Miss Ruth Bowers, throw
ing all OF them out. The ladies we're
stunned but not much hurt, the lit
tie boy came out without a scratch,
while DR.. BuIks was rendered I'M
and was still delirious
evening, when last heard
from.
We we're visited last Wednesday
night by the worst wind storm in
years. 1t is said some people were
so scared they sat up all night. 1
think grounding weather is holding

The ladies of Gilmore's Mills had
an oyster supper and other refresh
ments last Wednesday night for the
benefit of the proposed chapel, real
izing about $50. in spite of the bad
weather. Ok EYE.

Woodrow Wilson Club Organized

The Woodrow Wilson Club Of
Rockbridge was organized in Lex
ington Friday afternoon, and the
club starts off with a membership
of about fifty.
The meeting was called to order
at 4 o'clock in the Courthouse by
DR.. John II. Latane, who stated its
objects. he said that Woodrow
Wilson was the most available man
for the Democrats TO nominate for
the presidency, because he could
attract the large body of indepen-
dent voters, who for some years
past have supported the Republican
nominees. Governor Wilson will
make the tariff live issue and IA
vors a progressive policy on the
great economic problems that con-
front the country. While we will
support any man whom the Demo-
Gratis may nominate, declared DR..
Latane, we believe that WOodI ow
Wilson represents the best progress
sive thought of the county.
Col. Hunter Pendleton was elect
ed president of the club and Mr.. T.
S. Burwell secretary and treasurer
The executive committee is COM
posed of these two officers and
Messrs. ]. Med. Adair. (. L. Crab
am. NJ. w. Paxton and E. S. Shields.
DR.. Pendleton also spoke briefly
in advocacy of the nomination OF
Woodrow Wilson as being the best
and most available man.

GOOD FOR THE HOUSE-NEXT
THE SENATE

The House of Delegates last
Thursday nobly met the temperance
situation by giving a two-to-one
majority in the passage Of the Enab-
ling Act. Good for the House.
Their action reflected the sentiment
prevailing in the State. True, some
of the Delegates disappointed their
friends back home" but the con-
clusion of the matter is satisfactory
to large majority of county people
throughout the State. When the
friends OF the "wets" among the
Delegates saw the handwriting on
the wall, it was amusing to observe
what strong local optionists some Of
them became.
Now for the Senate. Will the
Senators give the people what they
demand? or will they vote down the
enabling Act? 1t appears that the
latter will occur, although reports
from Richmond may be erroneous.
The vote is expected to be reached
Thursday. THE GAZETTE trusts the
Virginia Senate will go on record
for the measure.

The New Republican Organization
of Rockbridge

EDITOR GAZETTE:
Sir,-sf you will permit mo as a
Repu blican voter would like to say
a word about the New Republican
Organization. We have heard SO
much of the harm OF the Patton
Machine"-what about the New
MISUNDERSTANDING Machine?
We have traded the Witch for the
Devil' and the one object in the re-
organization in my opinion is still a
fight over the Lexington posteffice.
The Republican voters of Rock
bridge are tired of how things are
run by the 'old crowd" But why
will they still permit themselves to
be deceived by runners" for the
Lexington postoffice? The new
County Chairman has already cast
his lot with we'll known Office
seeker and never woald have been
named If it had not been by the tao
tics of this willy politician.
The way things were worked to
bring about this change of affairs in
this county all kind of trading were
evident. The primaries were crowd
ed by all color and kind. Democrats
in some places were allowed to vote
aud the County Committee is now
composed of some men who nave
been weaklings in all known parties
This class of men now have places
on the committee in the place of good.
reliable Republicans. They were
so placed so they could be tools Of
this New Machine"
as Republican voter wanted a
change, but why still linkithe office
seeker in point Of party interests?

Ex-President Roosevelt has come
out in favor of female suffrage. He
says where the women want it, it
should be given to them, but that
where they do not want it, it should
not be thrust upon them. In the
meantime it seems that the coming
woman is coming right along in the
matter of suffrage, notwithstanding
the solar plexus she recei we'd at the
