This bewildering announcement
was made today by the Century The

will present Mr.. Gable In his only
personal appearance In the East

So great has been the interest in
Washington about Mr.. Gables visit

the young and old been at the
thought that they are only so min

We shall be bitterly disappointed
with our local females if they do not
take up this sensational offer. Think
Of the women who spend hundreds of
dollars to go all the way to Hollywood
to see Mr.. Gable. Now you may do
practically the same thing for only

Here is something both unusual

trains that would cart over hero

front door. We had been prepared to
have a woman or two faint at sight
of Mr., Gable in the flesh. Rumor
had it that Mr.. Gable might even
jump over here for a single visit on

NoCOOkingl NOWorkl Real savingl

You'll never know how quickly Q
stubborn cough can be conquered, un-
til you try this famous recipe. It is
used in more homes than any other
cough remedy, because it gives more
prompt, positive relief. It's no trouble
at all to mix and costs but a trife.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2115 ounces
Of Pinex; then add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. Syrup is
easily made with cups Of sugar and
one cup of water, stirred a few mo-
ments until dissolved. No cooking
needed. This gives you four times as
much cough medicine for your money,
and it's a purer, better remedy. It
never spoils, and tastes fine.
Instantly you feel its penetrating eff
feet. It loosens the germ-laden phlegm,
clears the air passages, and soothes
and heals the in11amed membranes. This
three-fold action explains why it brings
such quick relief in severe coughs.

Cost of 4 Selected Counties In
1892 Put At Ten Times
More Than ACcomac
BY JOHN e. TAYLOR
Times staff Correspondent


RICHMOND, Feb. 12.-Foliowine
months of study, the Virginia Com
mission on County Government to
day made its report. in which ii
declared consolidation Is an in
escapable conclusion" for two
groups of small counties.
The studies are being continued
and other suggestions Of conSon'
dation will be made.
Amelia, Nottoway and Prince
Edward counties, lying together,
have a total area Of 1887 square
miles, a total population Of 38,365
and taxable wealth valued at $40,'
655,714. These counties were com.
pared with Halifax, with 814
square miles, 41,283 population,
and taxable wealth valued at $23,.
854,934.
Total Costs Compared
The total operating costs for
1881 in the three coun ties
amounted to $464.56l, and in Hall
fax to only $348,209, a difference
Of $118,352. In 1882, the operating
costs Of the three counties were
$444,066 and in Halifax 1927, ,OO6,
q difference Of $117,06O.
Investigation developed a sim
liar situation when the four pen
insula counties of Elizabeth City,
James City, Warwick and York,
with a total area Of AIT square
miles, a total population Of 40, ,158
and taxable wealth valued at
$50,562, 1873, were compared with
Accomac on the Eastern Shore,
with it's 502 square miles in area,
population Of 35,854 and locally
taxable wealth valued at $32,-
5O9,971.
Greater Expenses Noted
It cost these four counties
$435.59 more per square mile to
operate their governments in 1881
and $400.09 more per square mile
in 1882 than it cost the single
county Of Accomac. The costs
per capita were $1.64 more in
1881 in the counties and $3.50
more in 1882.
The report declared:
County administration, which
covers the expenses of the
Board Of Supervisors, cost in
the four counties in 1881 nearly
four times more than it did in
AccOmac, and in 1882 nearly
10 times more.
Each individual county for
the twO-year period spent more
for county administration than
did AccOmac. These figures
represent the compensation and
expenses Of the board members.

Virginia's ''Iron Man" Sees
9TH Assailant Jailed

No. Z of the past 10 months go off
to prison.
No. z was Clayton Morris, of
Crozet, who was found guilty by a
jury in Albemarle Circuit Court Of
felonious assault on Shiflett and
sentenced to two years in the peni-
tentiary.
ShifIett, friend and brother.in-
law Of Morris, appeared reluctant
to see the latter blamed. Looking
at the jury out Of the one good eye
left him after an ambuScade over
in Fox Hollow last March, he ex-
planned that Morris had been stay
ing at his house at intervals over
a year and that he was intoxicated
when the shooting took place.
It happened in Suites barn two
days before last Christmas. They
were disputing over some money
when Suite laid hold Of Morris.
The latter pulled a gun, fired
twice between Shiflett's feet be-
fore the gun was knocked upward
and the third bullet entered Shif-
lett's opened mouth and lodged in
his jaWbone. He went to the Uni
verSity Hospital and left the next
day. The bullet has not been re-
moved, he said.
Morris was with Shiflett last
March when a charge of buckshot
fired from roadside underbrush
laid the big mountaineer low.
Riddled with buckShot, he came
out Of the hospital with missing
eye to see six men go to prison for
the crime.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 12.-
Abolition Of the twenty ninth

It will be the first step to cut

Judge Bennett T. Gordon, of
the twenty-ninth circuit, died

plan they would be distributed
among other circuits.
Senator Smith also has a bill
which would stop the Governor

away with it if such a procedure
Is found to be in the interest Of

Farmers who want loans are
urged to see Mr.. Roberts when
he visits each Of the southern

day each week to receive appli-

While land banks will continue

Mystery Monument Found,
Honoring Heroes of South

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Feb. a.
A monument to an unsung hero
Of the Battle of Antietam has been
discovered on the field by CWA
workers, who are collecting his.
torical data concerning, the bat
tie and the campaign, which
forms an important part Of the
history Of the Civil War.
Mystery surrounds the donor
Of the monument and efforts are
being made to learn his identity.
The handsome granite marker
commentaries a daring artillery
exploit on the part of a small
group Of members of the 9Th Vir-
ginia Infantry. The monument is
a half mile north Of Sharpsburg.
The CWA workers learned from
a resident Of Sharpsburg that q
stranger came to. the town about
10 years age and hired a team
to haul a stone to the battlefield.
Later the unidentified granite
marker was found. The marker,
which is about 21a feet high and
nearly as wide, bears the follow
ing inscription:
'Near this spot an abandoned
Confederate gun, manned by q
second lieutenant of the 9Th
Virginia Infantry, McHeath's
Brigade, and two infantry vol
unteers from AnderSOn'S GeOr-
gia Brigade, was placed In &C
ton here September IL, 1862"
The inference is, the history
seeking workers believe, that the
ConfederateS found the gun aban-
doned and manned it themselves.
