Further hearing before the Senate

At the session OF the committee YES

BELIlcNE THAT SENATE WILL.
NOT FAVOR INVESTIGATION
The opinion prevailed yesterday that
the Senate will not adopt the reso-
luton for n legislative inquiry. Those
urging the investigation charge that
certain publishing houses have COM
bined to boost prices charged for text
books used by children in the public
schools Of the State. and that the same
books used In Virginia are sold 10
other States at lower figure. Those
opposing lengthy legislative invcstiga-
tion contend that the State Board Of
Education has right under the law
TO annul any contract made with n pub
Usher who fails to comply with tho
terms of the agreement.
When the committee again considers
the matter on Monday It is expected
that several new phases of the ques-

TURK REGIMENT DESTROYED
Russian Troops Wipe Out Entire Unit
Of Ottoman Troops in Region Of
karaurgan.

Petrograd, Jan. 1S.-The destruction
of an entire Turkish regiment is an
nounced in an official report from Rus.
sian headquarters at Tihis received
here. 1t says:
in the region Of Karaugan the bat.
tie is developing to our advantage.
The Fifty-third Turkish regiment was
annihiliated by our troops in a bayo-
net charge. Its commander, several
officers and many men were captured
IN one district where we are pur.
suing the Turks, we captured more
than five thousand men. fourteen guns
an enormous quantity of supplies and
nearly ten thousand cattle"
The admiralty announced that the
activity of the Russian fleet in the
Black sea had prevented large re-en
forcements reaching the Turks in ASH
Minor. 1t stated that Russian war
ships had captured or sunk eight Tur
kish troop transports within the las
two weeks.

~ Two Terms Enough.
Dingus, Morgan Co., XIV.

Dingus, Morgan Co., Ky.
l am a travelling salesman,
which takes me all over Law
renee and Morgan counties. I
am a Democrat and somewhat
interested in the outcome of the
selection of a democratic candi-
date for Commemorative Attor-
ney, and naturally make inquiries
everywhere l 60 as to who the
people are for. There is a uni
versal feeling that Mr.. Waugh
has had this Office long enough.
1t seems to be the opinion of all
that to give it to him for eighteen
years is out of all question, and
the asking of it by him is presum-
ing upon the credulity of the
voters. The people are beginning
to feel that one term of such a
lucrative Office as the Common
wealth's Attorney should satisfy
any man, and two terms should
be the limit.
The people realize that this
office belongs to them and there
is a strong feeling that they in
tended to give the place to a new
man. A man whose ability, hon.
esty and industry no one ques-
tions. That man is Hon. G. W.
Castle of, Lawrence County. My
investigation in Lawrence County
convinces me that he will carry
the county by a very large ma
jority. The factno one can ques-
tion who has made an investiga-
ton of the sentiment of the peo-
pie. If the same sentiment that
exists in Lawrence and Morgan
holds good throughout the district
Mr.. Castle is sure winner. The
people cannot afford to set a pre-
cedent in this race by their votes
that will keep one man in Office
for a life time, and from my in.
vestigation do not believe they
are going to do it.
