pied by General Ayers az Il
home since he moved from Big

II. j. Ayers, son of General
Ayers was in an upstairs room.

Be Appointed.

Richmond, Va, Dec. is
Following the withdrawal of
Peyton st. Clair, of Giles coun-
ty, as candidate for appoint.
ment at the hands o ( the presi-
dent for the Office of collector
of internal revenue for the
Western district of Virginia,
the two Virginia senators in
Washington have endorsed the
name Of General Rufus A.
Ayers, of Big Stone Gap, for
this office.
1t is understood that General
Ayers has also the backing of
Tate Irvine, an original w son
man in Virginia and a delegate
at large to the democratic ma
tional convention in Baltimore
last year.
The name of State Senator
John NJ. Hart, of Roanoke, is
being backed by Congressman
Carter Glass for the position of
collector Of internal revenue
for the Western district of W.
ginin. and it is Understood that
,here are yet other prospective
candidates for the appointment.
The Office is among the princi-
pal federal offices of the state,
particularly valuable by reason
of the amount of patronage
within it's gift.

From Dicken-
son County.

Freezing, Va, Dec. 1.-THE
public schools have ali closed
IN this county, after four
months session. The attend
ance has been fairly good, ex-
cept III n few instances. in
which the patrons were dissat-
isfied with the teachers.
Hogs are still dying of chole-
RI in this section. The epidem-
ic became prevalent last fall,
since which time there has been
great loss in hogs.
Most of the corn has been
gathered in this section, but
there is still a small percentage
of the crop outstanding in the
shock. 1t is thought that there
is sufficient corn for home con.
sumption here, if taken care of.
The teams will probably com
sumo enough to cause search
ty in the supply.
James Ct. McFall is erecting
n large barn on his farm near
here. There seems 60 be a gen
eral realization of the necessity
of protecting stock from the
severity of winter, throughout
this vicinity.
n p Vanover is charging
his tannery at this place, and
Will soon have an up to date
plant installed.
Samuel V.Cochran and lanes
a. Barley have sold their farms
near here, and have located in
Pulaski, Ky. Others have the
moving fever, and it looks as
if there will be an exodus to
that section.
1t is said that there are some
wild turkeys up in the CumDer-
lands, a few miles from here.
but they are so wild that it is
difficult to get a shot at them.

hearing here today of the com
plant of the coal operators of

with reference to shipments for

Nation To Buy
Telegraph
Lines
Postmaster General Burle-
son Recommends Govern
ment Ownership.

Washington, Dec. ls.-A
sweeping declaration in favor
of the principle of government
ownership of telephone aud tel
egraph lines and an assertion
that the postal service now is
self-supporting for the first time
since 1883, are features of the
annual report of Postmaster
General Burleson, transmitted
yesterday to Congress.
Concerning the acquisition of
telephone and telegraph lines,
Postmaster General Burleson
says that the government has
demonstrated it's capacity to
conduct public utilities, and
from his present information,
he is inclined clearly to the
taking over by the Postofiice
Department of the telegraph
lines, and, possibly, also, of the
telephone lines. Discussing
that, the Postmaster General
says:
"A study of the constitution
al purposes Of the postal estat
lishment leads to the convic-
ton that the Postoflice Depart.
ment should have control over
all means of the communica-
ton of intelligence. The first
telegraph line in this country
was maintained and operated
as a part of the postal service,
and it is to be regretted that
Congress saw fit to relinquisli
this facility to private enter
prise. The monopolistic ma.
ture of vital Importance to the
people that it be conducted by
unselfish interests, and this can
be accomplished only through
government ownership"

New Invention Will be Used
in Black Mountain Field.

a mechanical shovel that
promises TO revolutionize coal
mining, will be put into use at
once in the Black Mountain
fields of Southwest Virginia.
The United Galleries Company
Inc, which was recently form
ed in Bristol, is understood to
have purchased several of these
shovels, which will do the work
of thirty miners. The shovels
are operated by steam, air or
electric power and are used in
connection with a newly pat
ented machine for undertaking
the seams.
The use of the new machani-
cal shovel will not only greatly
reduce the cost of mining but
will protect the coal operators
from Scarcity of labor and
strikes. The new shovels cost
81 900 TO $4,000 each and are
said to be highly Efficient

Domestic Science In Mining

housewives. ms well as their
lords and masters. at Tams, w
Va, were astounded a few DAYS
ago when four miners, known
to have the biggest appetites of
anybody there, sat down to "A
meal, most atlractively cooked,
more than they could eat, that
cost only 43 cents.
Behind this lies a story of the
conversion of number of the
good women of Tams to mod
ern domestic science methods.
Mrs. VI h Scott, of Philadel.
phia, ON of the most famous
culinary experts in the country
Mt the solicitation of friend,
visited 'rams for two days.
The good women of that place
were invited to "A public demon
station by Mrs. Scott. The oili-
Ger of IA mining company, who
introduced her, explained that
she would show how any four
men in the camp could be given
"a dinner at a cost of less than
so cents. There were Il number
of men present, notorious for
their good appetites Openly
skeptical, the women Of the
mining camp chose four men
and rather sneeringly suggest
ed that Mrs Scott feed them
for so cents and give them
enough to eat. Their wives
hadn't been able to.
Mrs Scott promptly accepted
the challenge. She gave them
a beef stew, the meat of which
cost is cents. Because potatoes
are high Mrs Scott rejected
them and as a substitute made
a dumping at a cost of cents
including the parsley and other
seasoning A soup of stock
cost cents, and a can of peas
was had at the company store
for cents. For desert she
gave the men indian pudding
at a cost of cents, and the cot.
fee for the four men cost cents.
The woman of the mining
camp watched the preparation
Of this feast open-eyed. The
four men selected to eat it were
objects of envy of all the other
men in the room. On the sec
ond day of Mrs. Scott's stay a
larger building had TO be used
to accommodate the mining
women VINO wanted to learn
some of her methods. Mrs.
Scott has taken a young woman
from Tams to Philadelphia to
give her a thorough training in
domestic science economy, and
the young woman's expenses
will be borne by the operators

A Young Ital-
ian Kills Him
self
Was Seventeen Years of Age
and a Private Messenger
for Engineer Tinsley.

Z
Francisco Andreoni, n II
year Italian boy, committed
suicide at Miraflores Thursday
night by hanging himself with
a rope. The act was probably
due to hereditary insanity. The
body was found at Z O'Clock
yesterday morning hanging in
the cement shed on the center
wall at Miratlores locks, by
Richard III. Jackson.
Two notes were left in the
boys hat, both being written
in perfect English, which he
had picked up himself by dill
gent study. 1t appears from
them that he had no reason for
committing the rash act. One
of the letters, which was ad
dressed to the finder of the body
asked that the matter be re-
ported to Mr.. h. b. Tinsley and
stated the boys name and check
number.
Francisco, as he was known
all over Pedro Miguel and Mi
rafiores locks, was the personal
messenger of IL, b. Tinsley act
ing resident engineer f the
Pacific Division, and was "A
boy of unusually good qualities.
Although born in Italy, no
spoke aud wrote excellent Eng
fish and was known and liked
by nearly everybody on the
job.
Mr. Tinsley stated that he
was very bright and very ambi-
tious and probably became in
sane rs result of too much
study. Francisco had sent to
the United States for an Amer
lean arithmetic and every night
he solved a number Of problems,
which Mr. Tinsley corrected
for him the next day.
He had been living with his
family at Paraiso, but did not
come home Thursday night
His father, Francisco Andreoni
is laborer on the canal and
owns several houses in Parniso
1t is said the boy had accumu.
lated n considerable sum OF
money, which he had saved
from his wages. The father
states that both the grandfath.
er and great-grandfather died
in lunatic asvlums in Italy so it
is probable that insanity was
hereditary.
The coroner's inquest will be
held at Nlirafores today at p
m.-Panama Herald.
