Interesting developments took
Tlace before the board OF supervisors
en- Thursday last. when Major r. A.
Mcintyre, who has been acting a.
Mrs. Carter's secretary, introduced to
The board, Captain Boyd Smith,. q
distinguished member OF "Mosby's
Command" He referred to the fact
that Captain Smith had camped In
Warrenton as Mrs. Carter's aide, and
would attend the meeting OF tho
command TO be held in Frederfcks-
burg, and reminded the board that,
although Warrenton stood out In his
try as the most distinguished small
town in the South, not a single public
rfonument had been erected to her
Feroes, and that II was a most fitting
time TO build high a monument to the
famous soldier whose achievements
won for our section of Virginia the
proud title OF "Mosby's Confederacy."
Captain Boyd Smith, still vigorous
and active. both physically and n1en-
tally. addressed the board In a most
effective manner. and the fact was
disclosed that about 81 900 is IN hand
to erect monument, that a design
has been selected, and that a place

Although Mr.. Dashiell's resigna-
ton had not reached Colonel Kelley
yesterday afternoon. the chairman had
made known his intentions in a con-
versation earlier in the day and Colo
mel Kelley Immediately communicated
with Mr.. Morton. The new chairman
called a meeting for o'clock Thurs
cay afternoon, to which Richmond
representatives of large meat packers
have been invited,
The temporary chairman invited the
PACKERS to the conference for the pur-
pose of securing vital information con-
corning the prices paid for meat by
retailers and TO answer any other
questions in regard to the industry
which they feel disposed to.
Mr. Dashiells resignation was in no
sense a surprise 10 any member of the
committee. He had taken issue with
Colonel Kelley on several important
points and seemed to view the prob
ability of lower prices as a result Of
the committees endeavor with de-
cided pessimism.
Although he had not read Mr. Da-
shells statement on his resignation,
Colonel Kelley is known to entertain
entirely different views on the powers
IT the local committee and others of
The same kind. In regard to Mr.. Da-
shells statement that the federal law
ould be enforced by committees
working under the department of jus
tice rather than under the councils of
defense. Colonel Kelley stated that in
a majority of the twelve states in
which prices have been lowered from
Z! 0 to l [, per cent the committees work
under the state councils.
Shortly before leaving the city yes
tcrday Colonel Kelley dispatched the
following letter to each member of
the local committee:

formal resignation of r Graysen Da-
