Fellsmere Charter Bill Passed
House &.
Although the Fellsmere charter
bill passed unanimously in the Sen
ate, when that bill was up for dis
cussion in the house last night there
were many questions asked con-
cerning its possible effect in setting
a precedent that would put the
, House on record as favoring woman
suffrage. When the bill passed the
Senate the claim was made by
friends of the equal suffrage move
ment that it's passage showed a SEN
timent for the woman's vote being
granted. This position several men,
bers of the House did not want to
endorse, not realizing that the char
ter bill for Fellsmere, although
granting woman's suffrage, was en-
tirely local bill and had no bear
ing on State wide affairs. The bill
passed by a vote of &c to 16 in the
= House.

ment Board
Unemployment, as everyone
knows, is much less serious than

demands on the fund for the as
sistance Of cases of distress among

Objections FILED
TO ADMINISTRATION
OF RELIEF FUND
(By Associated Prem. }

London, May Widespread crit
icism is heard in England over the
administration of the Prince of
Wales National Relief Fund, which
now amounts to $4,000, 900. About
third of this has been expended
thus far.
The criticism comes from two
sides. The Workers National Com
mittee complains that $1,000, 900
has been spent in relieving depend
ants of soldiers and sailors, and only
100000 for the relief of civil
distress, which the Committee de-
clares was the principal object of the
fund. On the other hand, families
OF soldiers and sailors complain that
there are unreasonable delays in
making allowances and payments,
and that the administrators of the
fund have taken no notice of many
cases of genuine distress.
The Workers National Committee
which is understood to have the
backing of the Trades Unions, has
asked The Executive Committee Of
the fund for "a full statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures, together
with an explanation of the policy
which has been pursued in the ad-
ministration of the fund"
In Glasgow, a serious situation has
arisen through notice circulated
few days ago by the local branch
of the Relief Fund Executive Com
mittee, stating that the fund would
not continue to pay the weekly rent
of 5000 dependants. The Glasgow
secretary at the same time stated
that this action was taken against
the wish Of the local committee,
which had in good faith made prom
ises to the soldiers relatives which
1t was not unable to fulfill.
The defense of the General Exc
cutive Committee is thus given In
the Times: THE committee admits
that the local administrative ma
chinery for payment Of allotments
and allowances Is not yet working
smoothly. But this work was un-
dertaken only to relieve the unpre-
cedented strain which the war had
imposed upon the army Pay Depart
ment, and the Committee hopes that
before long the fund will be entirely
relieved Of this charg upon it.
cat the beginning of the war, the
army pay Office had on it's books
only 1,500 soldiers wives. The
number entitled to separation al
lowances is now close to 100000,
and they are paid weekly. The
number of households granted re-
lief by the fund has been over 5o0.-
900. So far as practicable the mon
ey thus expended is being recover
ed from the War Office.
Substantial sums have been grant
ed for the temporary relief OF
wounded soldiers and sailors, and
for the provision Of employment and
training for the partially disabled

RUSSELL BREEDING
PURE-BRED STOCK
Farmers Form Company and I'M
port Good Breed Demon
strator Suggests Way of I'M
proving Conditions Here.

MIR. w. II. Moore. of the Bedford
district, superintendent of the farm
demonstration work, was in Tazewell
tuesday and made an address in the
courC mouse To small number of
farmers
MIR. James l.. Montague, county
| demonstrator, preceding The talk OF
Mr. Moore, outlined the work he had
undertaken in the county. lie cm-
phasized the fact that he was at the
service OF the people, and requested
that they call upon him when any
question arose that needed his attcn-
ton.
Mr.. Moore was introduced, and,
among other things, spoke of the WORK
oil organizing farmers stock COM
pany III Russell county, which was
promoted by farm demonstrator Wv
Sor, OF Russell. a number of the
farmers and grazicrs of Russell got
together and formed II company, which
mad Tor its object the breeding of
pure-bred stock. The company sent
To Missouri and bought fifty head of
pure-brcd bulls, and scattered them
over the county to the various mem
bers OF the company, each member
OF which had subscribed certain
amount of stock. The service of the
bulls is free to the stockholders, II fee
OF Sl.5O being charged those outside
the company. The bulls are exchanged
from place to place in the county to
prevent inbreeding. Russell county
farmers have also formed II fertilizer
club, saving 20 per cent by buying in
ear lots.
MIR. Moore lamentcd the fact that
IN certain counties in Southwest Vir-
ginia nearly all the fruit trees were
effected by scale. He said that unless
there was concerted action among the
farmers and fruit raiscrs to eradicate
this evil, in II few years all the fruit
bearing trees would die. He sug
gcsted as IL remedy II systematic
spraying that II number of
farmers could get together and buy
IL spraying outht if each farmer did
not care To buy one for himself.
In speaking of seed corn MIR. Moore
referred to the Lee county corn plant
ed east of town by the editor Of this
paper and others. lie said that the
corn helds inspected were the best
he had seen and the prospect for n
large yield was bright.
If there was objection to the tallncss
of the corn, he advised that seed for
the next planting be taken from the
short stalks, and then, in the course
OF year or two the stalks would be
of average height and yet prolific in
yield. Tom Brown, of Adrin. wanted
to know if the moon had anything to
do with the tallness of the corn. Mr..
Browns question provoked laught-
er Mr.. Moore stated that he believed
any kind of corn would mature in
Iazcwell county after acclmated. Ac-
climation should not take over three
years.

Tazewell Horses for Cannon Food
And Bullet Meat.


Last Saturday something like 35
horses were bought here for service
in the great war. The horses were
shipped to Richmond, and from there
they will go to Europe for the army
of the Allies. The prices paid averag-
ed around $125.00, the lowest prices
known here for many years. Some
special good horses went at $4,000.
and one or two for perhaps a little
more.
A large number of horses were here
"a larger number than it was thought
were in the county for sale. 1t is
said that there are hundreds of
horses in this county idle nearly all
the time that should be disposed Of.
They are "eating their heads off"
every year. 1t is understood that
these buyers will be here again soon
for another lot of horses to be used
for bullet meat and cannon food for
the big guns of the European armies.
The horse raisers of the county are
now offered an opportunity to estab-
lish good paying business with the
Richmond horse dealers, who are buy
ers for the army. The business of
furnishing horses for the army is a
lucrative business and Tazewell now
has the opportunity of making this
q permanent point for the horse buy
ers.
