WfSTNORflANO DAVIS
To OPEN FARMERS UNION

I.ynchburg, Va, Nor. j5,-The an
nual convention of the Fai mers' Union
of Virginia. which will lie held De-
cember 5, and z in the auditorium
of the Virginia hotel In this city, is
expected TO be largely attended as Gre
dentials are being received by every
mail Hon. WestmorelanI Davis will
make an address and the opening ses-
sion will be thrown open to the pub
lie. AS, the Legislature meets this win
ter, a strong legislative committee
WIFI be appointed and various meas
ures which will be brought before that
body will be discussed.
The organization has several plans
mapped out for legislation to stimu-
late the farming industry of the state
and particularly regarding appropria
tons for rural schools and education
The organization will make an effort
to secure an increased appropriation
for primary and grammar schools, and
will oppose coordinate college at the
University OF Virginia.
The board of directors OF the Farm
ers' union in the last convention went
on record as being opposed to the CO.
ordinate college and the union now
stands against the college. The Farm
ers' union wants better rural schools
and believe they will benefit the corr
monwealth more than a coordinate
college for women.

THOUSANDS Of PINE

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 15.---For
several DAYS large shipments OF
pine logs and poles have been passing
through Roanoke over the Norfolk

yesterday morning two or three trains
loaded with these poles passed

that the pine poles are being shipped

TEN ROANOKE
TEACHERS MAY OUT

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 15.-Ten Roa-
noke school teachers are taking the
clerk examination for departmental
service in various branches of the
United States government.
The ten teachers who are taking the
examinations are from the interme-
date school and various primary
schools throughout the city. Most of
them are women and several of them
stated this morning that the reason
they were taking the examination was
that they could not live on the mcagre
salary paid primary school teachers In
this city. 1t is said that most of these
women have dependents to support
and have gone to no little expense to
fit themselves for the pedagogue pro-
fession. Efforts to present the case
to the city officials have failed. and
the teachers are now taking the mat
ter in their own hands and are now
on the constant lookout for more lu-
crative positions, the emoluments
from which will at least afford a live
lihood. 1t is said that many teachers
h this city are now dependent upon
outside work for the maintenance OF
themselves and families.
