PROMISE IS GIVEN

Prior to Receiving Virginia
Delegation.
CAUSE OF CHILLY TREATMENT

for Bristol
CAUSE OF CHILLY TREATMENT
Especial to The Times-Dispatch ]

Washington, July 25.--It developed
here to-day that the probable reason
for the chilly attitude shown the Nom
bers OF the Bristol. Va. delegation
yesterday when they appeared before
Postmaster-Ge Burleson. appeal
Ing from an order which had been is
sued abolishins the post-ofice AT that
place, Is due to the fact that. as re-
ported. Mr.. Burleson recently conmu-
ntcated with Senator Shields, OF Ten
ncsSee, advising him that the order
would stand. When the fact became
known here il was stated tnat Il prob
ably would have been better had the
Postmaster-Gcneral stated to the Nir-
ginians at once that HIS mind was
made up in tho matter than to have
listened TO their pleas In half
hearted manner
The question has not been settled
yet and to-day Senator Martin issued
statement on the subject II will
be seen that his reference TO the way
the Nirginians were treated refers to
what took place at the White House
and not at the Post Office Department
"Of course" said Senator Martin,
there is n great deal OF sentiment
against striking down Il post-ofIice in
ginia law. but there is something more
than sentiment and state pride, as
sufficient as those considerations would
be. 1t must be remembered that this
Virginia city has n population OF more
than 1000. and without post-o Office at
Bristol, Va, the business interests
there would be terribly handicapped

Creek Damned Up to Furnish
Mill, and Not Enough Left
for Horses and Mules.

Winchester, Va, July o5.-WhiIc the
camp OF cavalry instruction. partici-
pated in hy the Tenth. Eleventh and
Fifteenth Regiments OF United States
Cavalry. just east Of Winchester is
adhering strictly to the program of
manocuvres mapped out by the Gen
eral Cavalry Board. with Colonel G. II
Murray. of the Tewlfth Cavalry, in
command. there are q number of prob
lens which are causing the officers
much concern.
one OF the most serious OF these is
the matter Of obtaining a sufficient
quantity OF water for tho horses and
mules at the usual watering time.
When the grounds were leased by the
government from Noah w. Solenberger.
OF Winchester. IL was taken for granted
that the horses and mules could easily
be watered at Opequon Creek. half
mile from the camp grounds, but IL now
develops that a mill owner at Barton
willie. Frederick County. has been dam
ming up the water at certain periods
during the day so that he can operate
his mill. and there is not sufficient
water In tho creek for the horses and
mules when the proper time comes for
watering the same. The mill owner
it is declared. has no legal right TO
dam up the water. and he is not in
clined to be selfish, but claims that
years of usage has developed into an
"unwritten law" The officers in charge
Of the camp do not wish to deprive the
mill owner of his livelihood. but they
find II quite impossible to change the
instruction program and water the
horses and mules to suit the convent
ence Of the mill man. II is expected
however. that by tomorrow an ar
rangement will be made whereby there
will be ample water in the large creek
when It is time to water the animals.

CAMP WATER SUPPLY

Another problem to be overcome Is
that OF putting the Front Royal Road
from point near the Berrys Ferry
Turnpike TO the camp grounds. dis
lance OF about three and half miles
into better condition. Little rain has
fallen since the instruction camp was
begun, and the dust is from three to
four inches thick. Practically every
thing between the Berrys Ferry Turn
pike and the camp along the Front
Royal Road is covered with dust
which has become general nuisance
The Frederick County Board OF Super
Visors recently declined to improve
the road, on the ground that there was
not sufficient levy in the treasury for
the purpose All toll gates were or

plain to-day that the road must be i'm

entitled, "Flaying T'other Side" He

He had accused him Of "rattling

always ready to laugh, was convulsed
with laughter. Representative Hardy,
of Texas, during q momentary pause,
touched the orator on the sleeve and
whispered earnestly to him. Thomas
nodded, reached in his hip pocket and
pulled out a plug of "chawin, F" which
he passed over. Hardy took a generous
bite and passed it back. Thomas took
long, doleful slant at the piece which
remained, slipped it .deftly into his

sumed, "Now, Mr.. Chairman, take the
