dressed the meeting. He stated that
effort was made to hold meetfngs al
Morgantown in the past. but matters
fell so thick and fast. that he was
obliged to spend goodly portion Of
his time in Washington. He trusted
that in the future more meetings
would be held In Morgantown.
Mr.. Jenkins praised the work OF
The Weekly Digest" the former Off
cial organ Of the National Coal asso-
citation, which acquainted the coal
operators with much valuable infor-
nation during the period when such
information was very essential. Mr..
Jenkins pointed out the value OF or
ganization and how all lines OF in
dustry were solidly organized. He
pal da tribute to Vice President Nor
row in saying that he was in a posi-
ton to confer with the President or
any official or department in govern
ment, because the National Coal asso-
citation has established such a reputa-
ton for being able to furnish accurate
information on the industry.
Mr.. Bell Speaks.
George T. Bell. Fairmont. executive
vice president of the Northern West

said he had some good news for the

Although the United States holds
to the credit of Virginia sum of
S5,458, 1927. ready for disbursement
in the construction of State roads,
since 1916, only approximately $780,
600 has been taken up by the Com
monwealth, according to statements
made by officials of the Federal Road
Bureau here today. This sum stands
at the credit Of the State for use Mt
any time an equal amount is put up

According to careful compilation
of figures the State Highway Depart
ment has agreed to take up $2,275,-
494.17 Of the total and has simili-
ar sum at hand for road construc-
ton work. However, so far no ar
rangement has been made by tho
State to take up the more than $S,-
100000 additional appropriated.
This is not all that Uncle Sam is
offering Virginia. A total of 466 au-
tomobiles and trucks for road con-
struction work have been allotted
the department. according to the
United States Bueau of Public Roads.
Four hundred and six trucks and
sixty automobiles have been turned

WHICH ROUTE
SHALL ROAD GO?
Proposed Route of State High
way Through County May BE
Changed and Pass Through
North Taze%ell.

Considerable discussion of the new
road to be built through the county
by the State has been indulgcd in
within the past few weeks by those
interested directly in the change of
route, and others who take general
interest in road matters.
a proposal has been made that
the State highway route be changed
to pass through North .Tazcwcll, and
also the town of Tazcwcll, instead
of the Fincastlc pike east of town.
1t is urgucd by those who favor the
change that the new route would save
the expense of building three bridges.
and would serve the town of North
Tazewell, rs well as Tazcwell and
would benefit both towns in busi-
ness way. Some objections to the
road going the river route is the
heavy hill that would be necessary
near the Lincolnshire branch and the
added distance of one mile over the
old route. These matters will be
taken up by the Board of Supervis-
ors and road commissioners and
thrashed out.
In this connection on the subjoincd
article, taken from Richmond pa
per, will be of interest:

COUNTY AGENT RESIGNS.

Tazcwcll, Va, Dec. ii, 1920.
Board and Supervisors and People
of Tazewell County.
Gentlemen:
My term of employment ns Coun-
ty Agent for Tazewell expires Jan.
l, 1921. l have advised Director
Hutcheson, of Extension work in
Virginia that will accept appoint
mcnt as District Agent for South
west Va, and will therefore not be
an applicant for my present posi-
tion another year. 1t is with great
reluctance that leave my work with
the loyal farmers of Tazewell, and
! am doing it solely because | be-
lievc | can save more money on the
other job. can not express in words
my great appreciation of the loyal
Support | have received at all times
during the four years have been
here. With the heavy expense of
furnishing car for travel out Of
my. salary have saved very little,
and but for this hearty cooperation
on the part of the farmers would
have quit long ago. Many of those
who at first opposed the work have
come to sympathize with it, and il
takes big man to admit he is
wrong.
1t is pleasure to me to be able
to say there is not person in the
county against whom | have any
hard feeling. shall always rcmem-
Der with pleasure the hospitality,
loyalty, cooperation and dependable
ty of Tazewell people. While / ad-
nit have been far from perfect and
mnde mistakes in my work l can say
l have always done my best and have
been true to the farmers cause. The
farmers who could not be organiz-
ed' have combined in powerful or
ganization of six hundred, strong, to
promote and protect better farming
and since prosperous agriculture is
the basis of n prosperous nation all
other classes of the public will ul-
timately benefit.
/ hope that the new County Agent
you get for another year will prove
better agent than l have been and
with the cooperation of of the people
accomplish a far greater success.
Mr.. Moore assistant director for Vir-
ginia, requests me to say to you that
he has several good men under con-
sideration for Tazewcll, that he will
do the best possible for you, and
that he would urge an even larger
appropriation than you have been
making for the work so that he may
send to you the very best man to be
had. He rquesets that you advise
him at once Of your action in the
matter so that he may send the new
agent here Immediately to get fami-
liar with the work before my time
expires.
While shall no longer be you,
agent ! shall always be deeply in
terested in the success of your work
and shall at all times be glad to dc
anything possible to promote the in
terests of the loyal farmers of Taze
we'll. Again thanking you for pour
kindness, cooperation and wishing
you great success with the County
