ing that district from the Republi-
cans, but still with recommendation
made many months ago by the sena-
tors he remained inactive with no
reason appearing on the surface but
the fact that there were two politti-
cal factions in Virginia and he was
not sure whose recommendation he
would accept. And he probably is
not sure yet. Upon his awakening
he found with little difficulty that
the three men he has named were
the choice of the Senators Martin G.
Swanson, Governor Stuart and Con-
gresham Glass, and thcreupon sent
their names to the senate.
1t is now learned that Mr.. Burle-
son is trying to get the consentof
all factions to some definite plan of
procedure in regard to naming the
postmastcrs in the Ninth where va
cancics already or soon will exist.
In this list of Presidential offices are
Lebanon, st. Paul, Appalachia, Ora
ham and Pocahontas, where the terms
of Republicans have expired from
periods of one month to year and n
half. He has not gained the con-
sent of both factions to any plan he
has suggested so far but has hopes
of ultimate success.
Senators Martin and Swanson de-
clared emphatically today that there
would have been no delay in naming
the Ninth district postmasters had
Postmaster General Burleson accept
cd their recommendation for these
offices and listened to their urgings
for prompt action ever since the
Wilson administration went into the
power.
The two senator's have stood will
ingly at any time since March 4, 1913,
to make recommendation for ap-
pointments in the Ninth district, as
soon as Postmaster General Burle-
son would give assurances that these
recommendation would be treated
as are those of Democratic Con-
gresham in other districts.
The custom of the department is
to accept the recommendation of
the congressman of democratic dis
trict regarding appointment of post
mastres, and the recommendations of
Democratic senator in regard to
Republican districts in his state. In
Virginia, however, the plan has not
been followed regarding the Ninth
district because of the existing diff
culties between the two political fac
tions in the state.
About ten days ago Governor
Stuart came to Washington and had
long conference with Mr.. Burleson
IN an effort to hurry the Ninth dis
trict appointments.
Since the visit of Stuart, which APP

CIncl Valley Ins. Agency,

parently had the effect of stirring
Burleson to increased activity, the
postmaster general has sent for SEN
| ator Martin and Swanson and Con-
gresham Glass at different times,
and tried to arrange a plan which
would be satisfactory to all, so that
the postmasters would be named and
appointed quickly.
The three nominations made last
Thursday and Friday are not the out
growth of the adoption of any general
, plan for making appointments. All
three were recommended by Senators
Martin and Swanson, and no objec-
ton was made by either Congressman
Glass or Governor Stuart.
The term of Ernest j. Jameson.
whom Askew is to succeed at Pulas
XII, does not expire until June "a, 1914.
There are other republican postmas-
tiers in that district, however, whose
four-year term expired more than a
year ago; yet no practical progress
has been made toward naming their
successors.
Postmaster General Burleson lust
at present looks to the adoption of n
plan by which Senators Martin and
Swanson, Congressman Glass and
Governor Stuart shall act as a board
OF referees to name the postmasters.
IN the Ninth, as the most acceptable.
Whether the method and success in
appointing postmasters at Pulaski.
Gate City and Wise, is responsible
for this feeling on the part of Burle-
son, is not known, but it is a fact
nevertheless, that he proposed and
urged this plan upon one of the four
gentlemen concerned.
1t is extremely doubtful that this
will meet with favor from Senators
Martin and Swanson, who while will
ing to receive advice from Mr.. Glass
or Governor Stuart regarding the an
continents, are unwilling to share
their prerogatives as Senators from
Virginia with anyone. The Senator's
repeatedly have asked Burleson TO
allow them to name postmasters who
shall be efficient, and Democrats ac-
ceptable to the communities. Rut
Burleson has refused to accord them
this privilege, which is granted to
senator's of other states, but insists
that these recommendation must he
submitted and approved by the other
political factions in Virginia.
The Senators are understood to
feel that their recommendations re.
the Ninth district, which
they directly represent, should not
be interfered with by congressman
Of other districts, who do not in anv
way represent the people Of the |
Ninth.

WHAT ABOUT THE FAIR7

Inquiries are made in this Office
frequently, "What about the fair this
fall?" The secretary, Mr.. O'Brien,
has made no announcements as yet.
There is no doubt, however, that Taze-
Wells fair this year will be better
one than we have had for years. 1t
will be this year strictly anagricultur-
al fair, and an occasion of enjoyment
and profit. 1t is none too soon to he
gin to arrange for it. The catalog
should be out earlier this year than
heretofore.

PLEASANT WAY TO
. STOP CONSTIPATION

Doasohs Liver Tone Takes the Place
OF Disagreeable CalOmel and its
Often Dangerous After
Effects.
You probably know that calomel is
poison, form of mercury, very
dangerous to great many people and
sometimes causing disagreeable after
effects for nearly everyone who takes
it.
Dodson's Liver Tone is recon-
mended as perfectly safe and re-
liable remedy to take the place of
calomel. This is exactly what it is
made for and has been made for ever
since the first bottle was put up and
sold.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pretty wide
ly initiated. But be careful to Judge
between the loud boasts of the imi-
tators and the plain truth of the
original.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold and
guaranteed by John E. jackson and bv
hawkins Pharmacy, who will refund
purchase price (50c.) instantly with
smile if you are in any way dissat-
isfied.
Dodson's Liver Tone is palatable
vegetable liquid. It's action is easv
and natural, with no grippe, no pain
and the after-effects are pleasant in
stead of disagreeable. Dodson's
Liver Tone does not interfere with
your regular duties, habits and diet,
but builds and strengthens instead of
weakening you or knocking you all
out for days Try Dodson's and feel
better and brighter, as thousands
have. Il

Prehistoric Mine Tools.

London Dispatch to New York Times.
The excavations at the prehistoric
flint mines at Crimes Graves. near
Thetford. Norfolk. which were begun q
month ago by the Prehistoric Society OF
East Anglia. have already yielded many
interesting results.
Crimes Graves are $50 hollows in q
pine plantation, which have been found
to be openings of shafts sunk by pre-
historic Britons in order to obtain flint
from the chalk. One shaft about 80
feet deep, has been cleared out. 1t has
been found to be II feet in diameter at
he base, as compared with q fee at
he mouth. From the base seven tun-
nels diverge, two OF which are 30 feet
long, though their height Is only about
two and one-half feet.
The ancient miners used picks made
from the antlers Of the red dear, from
which all the tines. with the exception
OF the brow tine were removed. When
these broke or became blunted they
were thrown aside, and about 80 dis
carded specimens have been discovered.
Various occupation levels were discpv-
cred down the shaft, with q number OF
hearths and quantities OF charcoal. A
human skull was found IL feet from the
surface. imbeded in chalk rubble.
The other discoveries include bones Of
various animals which formed the food
OF the miners; large quantities Of mol.
luScs. Quart1ate hammerstOneS. and
thousands Of flint flakes and imple-
ments. including . fine az seven and
0ne-half inches In length.

Divorced by his wife, who stood 10y

Washington trials six years ago. when
his malady was first discovered.
Stunned by high and low alike and
isolated at his former quarters at Ana
costa, John Early, the leper, admits
that he is a social outcast and never
can be anything else. All he wants
now Is the realization Of his dream of
agitation for such an institution he
claims was the sole motive for his
escape from the public health station
at Port Townsend, Wash, and his re-
turn to the national capital.

pleasures. I believe there are 80 or
40 lepers walking the streets of New
York today. This should not be.

a leper to mingle in cities. I planned

Not the Man for Canada.

and with the support Of The whole do
minion at his back. His personal friends
are urging him to make his own with
drawal SO emphatic as to secure him
from the further embarrassment he
would inevitably suffer If he allowed
the matter to go further. As he has
a the slightest personal desire
to figure In government affairs, and
his wife Is likewise equally unambi-

Canada has, for many generations,
been regarded as the most important

Early's wish for a national home will
come true If a bill recently introduced
! n congress becomes a Law. The bill
provides for a national home for lepers
to be located on some island owned
by the United States, and was intro
duced by Representative johnson OF
Washington state The home is to be
located by the surgeon general of the
public health and to be under his direc-
ton. He is to approve designs for
necessary buildings. employ necessary
Officials, c~aretakers. attendants and

those sent to the island as patients. An
appropriation Of $3.50, 900 is made for

Lepers. after experts of the public
health service have definitely decided
on h nature Of their malady, are to
be transported by the government to
the home. Rules are to be established
by the public health service to pre-
vent those afflicted from coming into
contact with other persons. The John
son bill was prompted by the Early
case.
