WASHINGTON PREPARES FOR THE
REUNION.

Although the Confederate reunion,
to be held in Washington, is more
than four months off-June 4th-
preparations are we'll under way.
This will probably be the last reunion,
but whether it is or not, it is safe to
assume that it will be the last big
one.
Not only is the Washington commit
tee of arrangements busy every day in
the week with details, but veteran
camps in every State of the South
are perfecting plans for moving on
to the national capital. Also the
railroads are giving great deal of
publicity to the forthcoming event.
The lines traversing this part of the
South with eastern connections that
is to say, practically all the lines
are making announcements which app
peal to the sentiment of the old sol
diers who fought for the lost cause.
One railroad company is stressing the
fact that it's trains run through his
toric battlefelds of Virginia, taking in
a view of the crater near Petersburg
and the Notifications around Rich
mond. Another company calls atten-
ton to the fact that the veterans who
trvel on its road will ride over one
stretch Of 48 miles which was built by
Confederate soldiers, "and which has
.renlained perhaps. the most permaS
nent monument of any work done by

~ lEIVENTH GRADE
BAD LITTLE HONEY BEE.

The best beloved and most loudly
applauded of all insects is now threat
ened with loss of reputation. From
the smost ancient times of which we
have record the bee has been the en-
blem of industry and frugality. He,
as well as the ant. has been an ex-
ample for the s1uggard. Poets and
statesmen and philosophers have con-
sidered his ways in admiration. Now
an Indictment has been found against
him. He has been accused of spread
ing fire blight, sometimes called
"pear blight" through the orchards
where he goes for honey. But for
tunately the bee has not been found
guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Let
us hope he finally comes clear of this
charge. He is known to spread Dollen
in the clover fields. and it is doubt
full if we could have clover, and per
haps some of our other plants would
perish. if it were not for the honey
bees unpaid work in cross-pollina-
ton. All mechanical methods of
pollination that have been suggested
and tested have proved to be failures.
So we cannot do without the honey
bee, the cupid of the fields, who car
ries love messages to the flowers in
exchange for their honey, and then
brings us the honey without charge.
If it is found that he really spreads
the blight as he makes his rounds, he
viii have to be forgiven for the great
er good he does.

the Confederacy." 1t is the line be-
tween Greensboro. N. c., and Dam
vile, Va.
When the war began there was no
railroad connecting the old Richmond
and Danville system of roads. A rail-
road official, in sketching the situa-
ton, says the Confederate authorities
saw the strategic value of such a line,
'an dwere able to bring to bear suffi-
Gent pressure to overcome the OBJ
stacles which had previously stood in
the Way of its construction, owing to
the rivalry of North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, each State seeking to protect it's
own railway interests"
The rail necessary for the construc-
ton of the Greensboro con-
nection was procured by tearing up
other lines. At the close of the war
the 48-mile stretch was confiscated by
the United States as one of the assets
of the Confederacy and there was pro-
longed litigation before the Richmond
and DanVille received it. az.
This section has been double-track-
ed but few changes were found neces-
sary in the location as determined by
the wartime engineers"

SENATE TO WORK DAY AND
NIGHT UNTIL END OF CONGRESS
Much Legislation Remains to be En-
= acted by March 4-Time is Less
Than Thirty Days.

Washington, Jan. 2S-With less than
80 working days remaining in the life
of the 9Th Congress, the Democratic
steering committee of the senate de-
Cided today to hold daily sessions of the
senate IL o'clock nthe morning
until 10 o'clock at night, beginning
Thursday February 1.
Overtime exertions were determined
upon as the first move in an effort to
solve the congested legislative situa-
ton, the decision being to drive away
as hard and fast as possible on essen
tial appropriations and the revenue
bill and to undertake the big general
administration measure one by one as
the time permits. Whether any of the
administration bills over which there
is so much dispute could be passed
none of the Democratic leaders would
predict.
The general understanding is that
the railroad labor bills will be consid-
cred as soon as the Indian appropria-
ton bill is out of the way, provided the
interstate commerce committee does
ultimately decide to await action on
this matter in the house. In view of
the fact that Representative Adam5on
is preparing to, rush a separate bill on
the subject through the house, the SEN
ate committee may beside to wait In
that case the corrupt practice bill or
the mineral land leasing measure may
be given tryout.
Owing to the unusual opposition
from one source Or another TO nearly
every pending administration meas
ure, some Of the leaders believe it
would be wise to call up the various
bills to see just what progress might
be made on them and to determine if
threatened opposition is so unyielding
as to make their passage before March.
impossible Many of the Democrats
do not see how, in water power meas
ures, the mineral lands bill or the
Webb bill to permit maintenance of
collective selling agencies for domes-
tic CORPORATIONS can, be passed If any
fattent1on at all is to be given to reye-
nue. and appropriation legislation. A
few measures such as the Porto Rican
citizenship Dill and railroad measures
they believe can be disposed of. More
over, there is doubt whether the rail
road bills to be submitted will satisfy
the President. In any event the word
| has been passed around that the Pres
ident does not want an extra session
and that he probably would not call
one even should much desired general
| legislation fail. -
/ Another obstruction to business
which Democratic leaders fear is the
urgent desire OF Republican senators
to force discussion of President Will
sons peace address as provided for in
Senator Cummins' resolution for de-
bate and the Borah resolution to re-
affirm the faith of the senate in the
Monroe doctrine and the principles OF
Washington and Jefferson advising
against entangling foreign alliances.
Several senators are known to be pre-
pairing addresses on these subjects and
they intend to discuss the issue re-
