TICK INSPECTOR SHOT
Charles Jeffery of Independence Coun-
 ty Dies Soon After Attack.

Batesville. March 20.-An unknown assassin, firing at close range from a clump of bushes with shotgun load ed with buckshot, killed Charles Jeff cry, aged about 45, tick inspector for lEreenbrier township and slightly wounded Lee Harper, aged about 40, as the two men were travelling along a lonely road two miles west of James town about o'clock this morning.
 Most of the charge entered Jeffery's S right side, several of the shot penetrat- ing the lung. He died about an hour later. Harper was wounded in the right arm by stray shot.
 The killing is believed to be the re- suit of opposition to the tick eradica- tion law Jeffery is said to have re- ceived several anonymous letters warning him to resign if he valued his life. He and Harper were enroute to a dipping vat near Jamestown where cattle were to be dipped, when the shooting occurred.
 A large posse from here went to the scene this afternoon and will await the arrival of bloodhlounds from Little Rock tonight. Tracks have been found near the clump of bushes behind which the assassin hid it is said, and deputy sheriffs have formed a guard around the place to prevent anyone coming near the scene before the dogs arrive.
 w. H. Lendreth, federal supervisor for Independence county, is with the posse assisting in the search for the murderer.

Urges Continuation of Vir
ginia War History Com
mission

The American Legion in Virginia,
through it's share in the work of the
Virginia War History Commission
and having definite knowledge of the
character and results of this work,
and believing that the continuance OF
the Commission is essential to the
successful recording of the history
of the state, is taking steps to recon-
mend to the Legislature, about to
convene, that the Virginia War His
tory Commission, as it now stands,
be continued for two years.
The Legion has decided upon this
course after a careful survey of. the
accomplishments of the Commission
as shown in the titles of source ma
terial and the calendars of military
histories published as supplements to
the four issues of the Virginia Mag
azine of History for the year 1921.
The Legion has also learned that ma
terial for two additional supplements
has been prepared one copy Of which
is now in the hands of the printer.
Two of the supplements deal with
source material from the cities and
counties of Virginia and two of them
contain short calendars of some two
hundred military histories. narratives
and reports, many of which were
prepared and contributed by mem
bers of the American Legion. The
Fifth supplement will consist of lists
of source material and short histories
of the two Virginia Councils of De-
tense and the Sixth Supplement will
show the scope of a "clipoing his.
tory" compiled from thousands of
clippings from the leading papers of
the State during the war period.
The results of the work of the
Commission, as shown in these publ
cations. prove conclusively to the
Legionnaires of Virginia that this

body of about one thousand patriotic
men and women, not one of whom
is receiving or has received COM
pensation for this work, should be
authorized to continue their work for
another two years. Furthermore, the
Legion believes that the incoming
Legislature will do we'll to consider
carefully the matter of an appropria-
ton for this work. The work of the
past three years has cost the State
S25 900. The cities and countries
have reported local appropriations
that will probably bring their total
to an equal amount. For the coming
biennium, the Budget Committee has
been asked by the executive commit
tee of the Commission for $4,000
to complete the work in two years.
This amount is estimated to cover
the cost of collecting and collating
adequate source material and of pre-
pairing the manuscript for he four
volume history. An alternative plan
has been submitted, however, in case
this amount is not available. An
appropriation of $4,000 will serve
to carry on the work as at present,
but will hardly complete the task.
The American Legion in Virginia
believes that the complete records of
the fighting men and the civilian
war workers of Virginia in the
World War can best be secured
through the Virginia War History
Commission as it now exists, with a
central office in Richmond and a
working unit in every city and county
in the state. Moreover the Legion
feels that this work should be COM
pletd in two years. 1t is because
of this belief that the American
Legion in Virginia will recommend
to the Governor and to the Legisla-
ture that the recommendation of the
