AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT


After long. tedious argument, in
which dozen or more members en-
gagged, the Senate yesterday afternoon,
hy vote OF 81 TO 10, passed the bill
taking away from the State Board OF
Agriculture the right to collect and
dishurse the State fertilizer tax, and
placing the power in the hands of
Legislature. Senator Fletcher. Of Eau
quicr. and Senator Lesner OF Norfolk,
are patrons Of the measure, which is
heralded by some as n forerunner OF
similar action as TO other special
funds and sounder financial system for
the state.
stitutional, Senator Bowers. OF Gull
pepper. vigorously opposed It's passage.
He said ne had been informed that the
Attorncy-General had held the meas
ure unconstitutional. This was ques-
toned by Senator Fletcher and others,
ana when the AttorneyGeneral was
reached by telephone he informed the
Senate that he had given no opinion
on the bill. Senator Bowers told the
Senate that he had been misinformed
Senator Gravatt. OF Carolina, urged
the passage of the bill He said that
ever since he became a member of the
General Assembly he had insisted that
each state department should be sup
ported by definite appropriation from
the Legislature. He believed, he said,
that members opposing the passage Of
the bill did not clearly understand it's
provisions. II do not believe" said
senator Gravatt., that there Is n mem
Der OF the Legislature who Is any more
IN sympathy with, or who is willing
to do more for the advancement of aEri-
cultural interests of Virginia than nv
SELF The Senator explained that the
Dill was not designed to take away any
FUNDS which should accrue to the Agri-
cultural Department, but merely places

COMMISSIONERS PLAN TO
ERECT AUDITORIUM LATER

1t seems to be the sentiment of the
county commissioners court that later
the construction of the auditorium in
connection with the new courthouse viii

It viii not be authorized at this time.
J. F. Morgan, who has been awarded
the contract for the construction OF the
courthouse proper, has been asked
whether he would accept scrip in pay
ment for the building of the auditorium.
and he has the matter under advise
ment. There Is a possibility, of course,
that when the commissioners do decide
to build the auditorium, they viii call
for competitive bids
The auditorium, when built viii oc-
eupy the space on which the present
building stands As it viii be necessary
to retain the present building until the
new courthouse Is ready for occupancy.

 l This is Monday morning and the Chautauqua is over. This was the second one in Arlington and the management announced last night the full guarantee, $500. % had been paid the Red path-Hornen Co. and the same amount raised for next season S engagement.
 Texas bids fair now for good crop and business is beginning to get lively and farmers are looking happy and business men are not so long faced. People here have nearly quit talking about the war, and have turned their attention to home condi- tions, with a determination to make the most of the situation and be ready for any emergency that might raise. They have faith in the wisdom of our Presi- dent, and are out-spoken in their determination to stand by him in his actions.
 Well 1 have had a good rest and a most pleasant vacation and will leave here Thursday even- ing for home, arriving in Brink ley over the Cotton Belt Friday afternoon. l shall be glad to get back to dear old Brinkley" and be in my pulpit next Sunday morning and night. where 1 hope to meet all the members and friends of my church. 1 have a message for them.

"Eather of Modern Screw"

Jesse Ramsden, an English inven. tor. is credited with being the father of the modern screw. He began in 1775 to pay especial attention to the making of screws by machinery. and his invention may be regarded as the first example of the modern form of screw-cutting lathe, although 50 years before there had been made in France a machine for cutting the thread on the fusees of watches, and 200 years before. Jacobi Bessoni had designed a rude lathe for cutting wooden screws.
