PLANS TO REBUILD
 CITY OF HOPEWELL
 NOW UNDER WAY
Mass Meeting of Business Men Dis cuss Plans for Replacing Ruins
 With New Buildings

Hopewell, Va, December 11.--Plans for rebuilding this town which was destroyed by fire yesterday, were made today at a mass meeting of business men and others here. Permits for the erection of tenn porary buildings to replace those burned will be issued, but it was agreed that these must give way as soon as prac- ticable to permanent structures of brick or stone.
 Resolutions adopted at the meeting re- quested Governor Stuart to continue the military guard until a charter for the municipality can be secured from the state legislature which meets in January, 1916 In the meantime it is proposed, with the governors approval to have the affairs of the town handled by a commits sion, which was selected today.
 A committee of Petersburg residents today took up the work of releaving suf- fering here. Several carloads of food stuffs were received and distributed. Some 500 persons are being cared for in Petersburg and others in need of aid are going to that city. The Petersburg city council last night appropriated $7500

'Is this policy to be continued? Will the next four years show similar waste ful, shameful disbursements of public funds?
 Would good business have surrendered the interests of the state in the railroad litigation? Again on December 21, 1914, the state had contracts running until September 30 1915, for the hiring of con victs. Among others, the Henderson Lumber company, 250 convicts; the Hen- derson Turpentine company, 100, at $39 Ter man per month. Times got hard, panic came on. By a stroke of the pen, Governor ONeal, just as he was ready to drop his mantle on the shoulders of Governor Henderson cancelled these contra cts, and as convicts could not be fred out fer scarcely anything in the stress of the time, they were thrown back upon the state to feed without re- turn Three hundred and fifty men at S3s per month is s1S650, and for nine months, December 31, 1914, to September SC, 1915, is $122,s50.

Guntersville, Decemb CT 1.--(Special.) ) State Senator John A. Lusk opened the campaign against the proposed $1,5O0 GOO house here today

cannon are long and narrow and al
most horizontal when firing. The
howitzers, which fire at angles OF
more than so degrees, and the mortar
pieces, which at even greater angles
fire heavy projectiles loaded with
enormous explosives intended to crush
such things as cupolas of forts, are
short and massive and stand almost
vertically.
Why Some Guns Are Short.
by the way, do you know the rea-

had never tried to find the reason
of this difference.
And yet it is very simple" the
lieutenant said. 1.-THE marine gun is
designed to IRE the shell at it's maxi
mum speed, so the combustion of the
powder must be complete before the
projectile leaves the barrel. This re-
quires a fraction Of second, during
which the shell covers exactly II
yards-the length of the piece. This
will give you an idea of how difficult
it is TO make the exact calculations
necessary in the operating of these de-
structive machines. Thus, when the
combustion is complete, the pressure
developed by the gases is also maxi
mum AS long trajectory is not re-
quired of the howitzer and mortar
piece, it is not necessary to have a
barrel of this length, which is incon-
venient
Surprise Ahead for Germans.

And / may tell you, we have no
longer any reason to envy the Ger
