tree in a secluded spot near the

ter would blow up his home. The
money was placed at the tree
and Sheriff Wertenbaker and
Deputy Sheriff Klipp stationed
themselves near by to await the
coming of the blackhand writer.
No one approached that night.
Subsequently Holmes D. Baker
received another letter, saying
that the money must be placed
at another spot, near the first
one named, on the following
night. That letter said unless
the money was placed there the
writer intended to kill Mr.. Bakers
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph D. Baker.
Last Wednesday Joseph D.. !
Baker received letter ad vis,ng
him to place money under the
tree, and he was told that he
would be killed unless he COM

berculosis eradication under the

Virginia is the leading State in

larger percentage of accredited
herds than any other State in
the Union. The only State that
has larger number of accredit-

The credit for Virginia. $

HIGH TAXES.

The farmers of Rockingh am
are protesting against an in
crease of taxation. They have
called the attention of their
Board of Supervisors to this sub
ject. They complain that while
manufacturers and middlemen
are getting large profits, the
owners of farms get only starva-
ton wages for their labor and
management, not to consider in
tereSt on their investment. The
larger the income of the State
from taxation, the more persls-
tent is the demand made upon
the Treasurer.
The people having voted down
the wise provision in the Consti.
tuition denying prohibiting the
Legislature the authority to is
sue bonds, the i'll effects of such
action is already apparent. As
the Legislature can now issue al
unlimited amount of bonds, the
first is a demand from the Sup
erintendent of roads for $40, 0OO,.
900 to be added to the debt O.
$4,000, 900 with which the Stat,
has been struggling for nearl,
one hundred years. This is onl,
a beginning. 1t is not at all sur
prising that the farmers Of Rock
ingham protest against an in
crease of taxation.
