the charges had been brought to his
attention. turned a deaf ear toward
taking any action.
The Alexandria political ring"
headed by former Congressman
Charles Carlin, probably will rally to
the support Of Moncure in such emer.
gency, because, while he is not a cog
in the State machine, he is regarded
as a protege Of the city ring.
THE purpose of my demanding an
Investigation was not primarily to
prevent the election Of Moncure to
succeed himself, and his unenviable
record as divorce Judge of the Little
Reno of the East" but was to clean
up the disgraceful situation that he
has permitted to 81 up" declared
Attorney Frank Stuart, one of Vir-
ginia's sons Of the old school.
Those Who Oppose.
when the fight started, there
were but two or three lawyers In
Alexandria who opposed the ring,
with thirty against u.s." Stuart said,
in relating the opposition made
against the Moncure probe. To-day
the ratio in the lawyers is about the
same, and 1t is easy to understand
the attitude Of the lawyers opposing
the cleanup"

q judge who winks at the law with
one eye and keeps his other eye on
the political horizon for the first
sign Of an approaching storm"
Nobody in Alexandria, nor the
State, is better acquainted with the
fact that the divorce evil in Virginia
is q menace, than is Moncure," Stuart
charges, because the Judge himself,
prior to his appointment to the bench
was one Of our biggest divorce
lawyers, being a member of the firm
Of Budwesky and Davis, who are to-
day the undisputed divorce kings Of
Virginia, plying their trade, under
cover, while the Judge gets writer's
cramps signing their DEGREES"

Outside interference is necessary II

declares. Gliding the people of Alex

the matter.
Despite the fact that Moncure is
an alien, coming here from Stafford,
Virginia, he has sent out the edtct
that the, best people of Alexandria are
satisfied with his action on the bench
and that II is nobody's BUSINESS out

Staurt states. 49,.

Telephone 1s3-w-1.
CLARENDON, Va, jan. 2s.-North-
ern Virginia was today buried under
: the worst fall Of snow since hte me.
morable three-day blizzard in 1898.
More than three rect of snow ex'
tended through the entire section,
: while slanting drifts running up to ten
feet were recorded In unprotected
places.
With the exception Of meager auto
mobile schedules. all transportation
systems were tied up tight.
Practically the, entire 5000 Govern
ment employees residing In Clarendon,
East and West Falls church and Fair
fax were unable to reach their places.
Automobile buses worke theoretically
to get employees to their work, but
with only six Of these running but a
few hundred had reached Washington
1t was ESQ before cars of the
Washington and Virginia Railway
broke through the huge drifts piled
up in Arlington county. Two de-
tied up the entire system. One Of
< these occurred near Ballston and
the other at Arlington junction. I'M
less the snowfall stopped Immediately
railway officials were doubtful II car
service would be maintained from
Washington to Bluemont for several
days.
The redeeming feature Of the heavy
fall was the fairly mild temperature
and the light quality OF the snow,
which enable 'dautomobiles to keep TO
the roads once they had been broken
open.
The county supervisors in various
sections as well as the railroads, were
practically helpless in giving assistance
to road breakers, having no equipment
with which to combat the piled-up
drifts.
Several autos were overturned on
Wilson boulevard while attempting
the trip to Washington. but no one
was injured. ...
The Southern Railway kept steam
trains running from Richmond, but
for the most part these were an
hour or two late. Officials were
jubiliant, however. at being able to
even keep the road open.
Washington and Virginia Railway
officials declared that as soon as de-
railments were cleared away that
traffic would be uninterrupted. They
had expected to resume all schedules
by noon. ~
MIX and produce dealers were un-
able to reach customers In outlying
districts, and unless the roads are
e.. broken open soon the food shortage
will become serious.
People who were able to reach
GEORGETOWN this morning were fur
Their delayed by break in the cleo
trio cable OF the Capital Traction
Company on Pennsylvania avenue.
Cars were run as far as Twenty
sixth street, where they were de-
toured at r street. From there the
cars were looped to Seventeenth
street and thence. up the Avenue. AT
Sixteenth street Washington bus
became snowbound at the intersec-
ton Of Seventeenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue about $40 and held
up traffic for a half hour. -
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. 2S.-Alex-
andria is snowbound today. The
street car service between Alexandra
and Washington has been badly Grip
pied and the bus lines between the
two cities have been hampered. The
snow made walking extremely Dill
ficult.

they must diversity their crops;
second, they must cultivate inten~
sively the cotton they do plant; and,
third, they must market this crop
intelligently, SO as to get the best
possible price for it..
II am convinced, after a study of
the matter, that the solution of the
marketing end Of our problem lies in
cooperative marketing. 1t is our
only hope for a stabilized market.
"A campaign Is now being con-

4 ANDEKSON TO AGAIN FEATURE
Dollnr-Day-Great Bargain Day will
Be on Thursday, Feb. 9th.

Anderson, Jan. 31.-Special: The
generosity Of the business men Of
Anderson In throwing open the doors
Of the theatres Of this city to the
crowds expected here on Dollar Day
FEB. 9th-is exceeded only by tho
extraordinary bargains that will be
offered on that day, which the mer-
chants Of Anderson agree will sur
pass the Dollar-Day Of last July, when
the largest crowd Of people in the
history Of Anderson came here to
partake of the wonderful values Of
fered for the day.
In making preparations for this
big event nothing has been over
looked In insuring the thrifty shop
per against disappointment. Be it
a baby carriage or load of lumber,
In Anderson the prices will be less
on Dollar-Day. and entertainment OF
the worthwhile sort will be avail
able without cost. This is made pos
sible by the thorough cooperation
Of the Anderson merchants, every
one Of whom has planned to offer
even bigger values than were found
here last July.
There are many people from all
sections OF Anderson, Oconee, Pick
ems. Greenville. Abbeville, McCor-
mick. Elbert. Hart and Greenwood
counties who will recall with pleas
ure the last Dollar-Day here, when
local dealers brought extra sales
people here by the score to wait on
the large crowds. During the day 1t
Is estimated that $225,Q00 worth OF
business was done, and behind every
sale was the iron-clad guarantee Of
Anderson merchants that the pur-
chaser must be satisfied. The result:
There were few exchanges made fol-
lowing that event, and every man,
woman and child went home salts
fed. Since then numerous inquiries
have been received, asking when an
other Dollar-Day would be observed
again.
Anderson merchants are co-Operat-
ing for the benefit of every thrifty
shopper--and thrift and co-opera-
ton 20 hand in hand. Dollar-Day
comes on Thursday, Feb. 9th. A cor
dii' invitation Is extended 10 you to
