Tn making public his statement MT Gwln said the attitude of his friends Il the entire matter had been very gratifying. Those who know me, ne said "assure me that they put nc faith in the charges, while those who are well informed on county conditions tell me they know politics is behind 1t all. All of the people do not know conditions and it is for that reason that have been more than eager for an opportunity to clear up the entire situation.
 "i have just returned from Mont Somery, where have been on bus mess for the county, and have read 'he report of the grand jury. It is very clear to my mind that the grand JuTy's report was instignted, IT not actually written. by one who has seiffshiy sought to destroy me ever since, I opposed his plan to control road construction in this county, which plan, if carried out, would have resulted in great fi- nanc1al loss to the-county, and con- sequenfly great gain to him. to the foreign corporation he repre- sents.

Virginia girl who finds it necessary
to assume the role Of a cook, but
while her accomplishments in this
line are nil. she manages to win the
love of a rich Northerner, which,
after all, proved the best thing she
could have done.
