TWO DISTRICTS
IS lATESTPLAN
MISUNDERSTANDING Customs
Merger to Follow Consolida-
ton of Eastern Districts.
PUT HEADQUARTERS HERE
CONGRESSMAN Lamb to Take
Matter Up With Treasury
Department To-day.

The Treasury Department. accord
ing to new reports from Washington
has revised its tentative plan OF merg-
ing the four Virginia customs districts
into one. and Will authorize the crea-
ton of two districts. One district VIII
embrace Newport News. Portsmout h
and Norfolk. and the other Will be
composed Of Richmond and Peters
burg.
Representative Holland. of the Sec
ond Congressional District, announced
Saturday, after an interview with
Assistant Secretary of Treasury Cur
it's that the Customs Bureau VIII re
commend to Secretary MacNcagh the
merging of the Norfolk. Portsmouth
and Newport News customs districts
into a new collection division 70 be
known officially as the Norfolk port
News District.
The collector Of this district, ac-
cording to the plan just outlined, Is
to be given his own choice of residence.
He will bc required, however, to spend
The first half of the business day In
Norfolk and the last half in Newport
News The plan is a compromise be
tween Norfolk and Newport News,
each of which put in strong claim
for the collectorship of the united dis
trict.
Means ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Merger.
With the eastern ports thus con
solidated, the merger of the customs
districts of Richmond and Petersburg
will be practically assured. Acting
upon the request of the Chamber or
Commerce. Congressman John Lamp.
of the Third District. Will to-day take
up the matter with the Treasury DC
partmcnt. and will request an oppor-
tunity 10 bring Richmond delegation
to Washington to appear before Sccrc-
tary MacNeagh.
The latest merger plan avoids IN
large part the keen rivalry for the cot
lectorship. which would have followed
tho merging of all four Virginia DIS
tricts into one. While the plan for a
hybrid collectorship of the eastern
ports seems to be far from perfect
from Norfolk 5 point of Wow, that city
will probably accept in the fear that
If it didn't. the collector would be Of

may not. The principle Is that they

the capitol. The big business men are
going to have their representatives

81 think the great principle Of the
present lobby investigation Of the
senate committee is to clear the air
and prove that 1t is not necessary to
to depend on congress for business
prosperity.
Il am not commenting on any men
involved in the probe. 1t would not be
fitting. But will say that the spend.
ing Of money about the capitol by the
men who stand for big business, is
only the natural outgrowth OF the bust
ness mems attitude.

men will spend big sums wnen they
think their interests are so closely

The Local Newspaper.

Governor Francis, nearly quarter
of a century ago, paid the following
tribute to local newspapers: Each
year the local newspaper gives from
$500 to 81, 900 in free lines to the
community in which it is located.
The editor in proportion does more
for his town than any other ten men
and in all fairness with men, he ought
to be supported not because you like
him or admire his writing. but be-
cause the local paper is the best in
vestment a town can make. 1t may
not be brilliantly edited or crowded
with thoughts, but financially it is Of
more benefit to the community than
a teacher or preacher. Understand
me, | do not mean morally or intel
lectually, but financially and yet, on
moral questions you will find that
most of the local papers are on the
right side of the question. Today
the editors Of home papers do the
most for the least money of any peo-
pie on earth"

A County Fair
To Be Held at

Sept. II, II and Is, 1913
Wake Up!
Sept. II, II and 13, 1913
Wake Up!

The enterprising citizens OF Slower
got together Monday night of last
week, and organized County Fair.
This is move in the right direction,
and we are glad to know that Morgan
County has the enterprising kind of
men who do things. The dire ctors
elected were: II. p. Fajen, II. l..
Frisch, DR.. Newton, l.. p. Rapp, H.
X. Welpman, l.. &. Seigel, F. A.
Gerlt, B. T. Vickery, Geo. Warnke,
H. A. Harrell, Chas. Goodman and
]. o. Scrivner. AT meeting Wednes-
day night following the following Of
ficers were elected: II. X. Welpman,
Pres; H. P. Fajen, Vice-Pres. l..
P. Kapp, Secy., and B. I. Vickery,
Treas. 1t was named Slower Live
Morgan County republican., 1913-05-29

Stock and Agricultural Society.
With the men in charge the Fair will
be big success, for they are the get
up and get there sort.
Now, the proper thing is for the
balance OF the county to pitch in and
help make it success. Being in
Morgan county, just big family, we
should all be interested and help
push along the good work. Every
merchant and business man OF Ver-
sailles should have an exhibit there,
also Barnett, and every other trading
point in the county. When the
premium list is out everybody get
busy and go after some of the prizes.
Will try and keep our readers posted
as the plans develop.

Opportunity Knocked
But There We're No Tomato Plants.

They say opportunity knocks at
every PERSONS door some time in a
life time, and it seems that Mrs. Kim
loch's came last week a-knocking,
knocking, knocking, when she got an
order from Billings for 100, 900 to-
mato plants. The big hail storm of
Saturday week ago had entirely
destroyed the plant beds for the can
ming factory folks who had contracts
for 80 acres of tomatoes, and the sec
retary, Mr.. J. b. Berghaus, had
heard that Mrs. X. was advertising
plants for sale, hence the order, 1t
goes to prove that advertising does
pay, and without it there is nothing

Morgan County republican., 1913-05-29
Election of Officers.

At the regular communication of
Friend Lodge, No. III A. F. & A.
NJ, to be held Friday night, May
9th, will be the regular time for the
annual election of officers for the en-
suing Masonic year. The life OF a
Lodge does not depend entirely on
its officers, but the peace, prosperity
and brotherly good feeling does, to a
large extent, so the best is none too
good.
