BI-COUNTY w. C. T. u. CONYEN-
TION.

On the 9th and 10th of February,
the W. C. T. U. workers Of TaZewcll
and Russell counties joined i'm an in
stitutc, being entertained by the Ho-
maker union. Extreme cold weather
prevented Il large attendance, but this
did not dertact from the interest of
the occasion.
The Institute opened Friday even
ing with Il good program. The main
feature of which was gold medal
contest by the Matron's class Of Ho-
maker. Happy words of welcome were
extended by Mrs. Brown, of Putnam.
Mrs. Geo. r. Mccall, of Raven, told
in an interesting paper. "Why have
medal contests" Mrs. w. G. O'Brien,
of Tazewell, president of the Taze-
well County w. C. IT. u, read Il
strong paper on "The Prohibition Sit
uation in Virginia and Results of the
Mapr Law" The medal, which was
won by Mrs. Wade Crawford, was
awarded in pleasing manner by
Mrs. w. b. Steele, of Pounding Mill.
Saturdsay's session continued from
10 to 4:30. with only one hour inter
mission, mt which time delightful
lunch was served in the church.
Some of the subjects discussed were
Meeting of the Local Union, The
Model w. G. T. u. meeting, How to
Teach every one with literature, Sun
day School Work. Press Work, Peace
and Arbitration, Flower Mission work
and Red Letter Days.
Mrs. M. M. White, State Secretary
of the Loyal Temperance Legion, pre-
sented that branch of the work in a
quite convincing manner. Mrs. w. G.
O'Brien gave IN address Echoes of
the National w. G.. r. u. convention"
Mrs. O'Bricn was Virginia's delegate
at large to the national convention at
Indianapolis, and when she had fin
ished her graphic report, her hearers
felt as if they had been there too.
Mrs. Isabelle Hurt, President of
the Gardner Union, gave one of the
most stirring talks of the day on
How We Have a w. G. T. u. in the
Country"
One of the best features was an
address by Rev. A. II. Towe, pastor
of the Honaker Methodist church. His
| subject was "Why Are Not Right
I eous Laws Enforced?"
Several of the appointed speakers
were absent, but there were many
impromptu speeches and lively dis
cussions which added to the interest.
The beautiful solos and some temper
ance choruses varied the program at
| intervals.
This report would be incomplete if
we failed to mention the white ribbon
I recruits. After fine paper on the
Mothers meetings and White Ribbon
Recruits by Mrs. G. A. Wallace, four
little ones came forward and the white
ribbons were tide on their arms.
The institute was closed in the Gus
tomary manner. The white ribbon cir
Gle sang, Good BE With You Till We
Meet Aagain," and were dismissed
with the Aarohic benedction.
Many said, "This is the best insti-
tute we ever had; let's have another
one soon"

FUTURE OF MARION COLLEGE

Like all church and private schools,
Marion College has had struggle
for existance. AT times it has seemed
that this struggle was against insu-
perable odds. But at each crisis. faith
adm courage have prevailed and Ma
rion College has lived to bless tho
community.
Five are six etaoi ctaoietao ctaoic
Five or six years ago, it was re-
allied that provision Of modern bull
dings and equipment and general dev
vclopmcnt of the school along mo-
dern lines was essential. Men of big
minds and hearts, who knew the re-
cord or Marion College for service,
got behind the proposition and pro-
vided the splendid new buildings now
occupied by the College. Since that
time there has been constant deve-
lopment along all lines, until today
no school in Southwest Virginia can
boast of better equipment, more tho
rough organization, more able tea
cheers, or more efficient work.
Forty-three years of service has
proven beyond question the value of
Marion College to the Community, the
Church and the State. The older citi-
zens of Marion and surrounding ter
ritory unitedly bear testimony to the
uplifting influence which the College
has exerted in the community through
out the years. They point enthusiasts
tically to the numbers Of consecreted
Christian women who have gone out
from the College to be blessings in
homes, schools and churches. 1t is in
spring to realize that this current
of influence is increasing and shall
increase in geometrical ratio. Only an
hold the beginning and the end of
things, can weigh and award the SER
ices of Marion College and similar
schools.
But Marion College is burdened
with heay indebtedness has created
in the construction of the new bull
ding. This indebtedness has been car
ried for seeral years by friends of the

MIR. BRYAN SPEAKS

II am glad" chat the President
sent his note to the belligerent
powers before this new situation
arose. If we can ask tho nations nj
war to stop in their slaughter, who
will say that this nation should rush
into the war Mt the first opportun-
ity? What spectacle we would pre-
sent, asking them to be patient and
forbcaring and then not willing to In
patien and forbearig ourselves! These
nations are in n death grapple We
must never forget that there has not
been an injury that has come to us
that has ben intended against us:
every injury that has como to us has
been Incidental to an attempt on the
part OF the nation inflicting the in
jury to injure n nation with which II
is NJ war.
God forbid that we would ever
compel II nation to go to war with us
when Is not our enemy and which
does not want to go to war. This ia
the greatest neutral country. 1t is the
one to which the world is looking
TO act as mediator. If we 20 into
TINS war. we must step down from
the high position and turn over to
some other nation the greatest on
pcrtunity the world ever ha, known,
some nation must lift the world
out OF the black night of war, and
ours is inc nation to perform the
task ! believe that Providence hns

works which the government may con-
struct. There are other provisions 9of
the contract that need not he noted
here.
The terms of the contract as to
payment of the cost of construction
are:
The said Salt River Valley Water
Users association agrees that it Will
promptly collect or require prompt
payment in such manner as the sec
rotary of the interior may direct, and
hereby guarantees the payments for
that part of the cost Of the irrigation
works, which shall be apportioned by
the secretary of the interior to its
shareholders. and promptly pay the
sums collected by it to the receiver
Of the local land office for the dis
trict in which said lands are stu
ated that it will promptly employ
the means provided and authorized
oy the said articles of incorporation
for the enforcement of such collec-
tons
Some question has been made as
to the validity OF this contract. either
in whole or in part.
At the time of its execution it was,
in the opinion of the secretary of the
interior. a valid contract wholly with
in the powers of the contracting par
ties.
If it violates any Of the provisions
of the reclamation act, 1t is wholly
| invalid. No one connected with the
Water Users association has ever
! suggested its invalidity, in whole or In
| part But we do contend that it is
wholly valid or wholly invalid We
! had up TO this time and do now pre-
fer to insist upon its complete valid =
| ity. If its validity is to be impeached,
! that must be done by the government
itself
There has arisen between the recla :
nation service and the association a
! disagreement as to the amount OF
! the cost of the project to be charged
to the water users The difference in
the aggregate, amounts approximately
| to 100000.
There is also a difference Of opin
ion as to what constitutes the project
and consequently a difference Of opin-
ion as to the fact of it's completion

project is not completed until Their,
