Fires Built Under
1910 Political Pot

Senator Harry F. Byrd will
have no organized opposition in
the Ninth District next year. The
Byrd Democrats will clay of"
John Flanagan and give him a
clear field for Congress in 1910.
Furthermore, the Fighting Ninth"
will back E. R. Combs for Cover
nor in 1941 about as solidly as it
ever went for one candidate.
These flat statements can be
made with certainty, for the Dem
ocrats of the district have been
Jared to the toe nails by Repub-
lican victories in the recent cleo
lions. Before the Resolutions Com
mittee Of the Ninth District Con-
vention in 1888, young Howard
Gilmer of Pulaski warned of loss
es to the common enemy if Demo-
Gratis persisted in fighting each
other. Roughly speaking, Demo-
Gratis in Virginia, and in the Ninth
District especially, began pushing
each other around in 1884 and
have since either knitted one an
other in the back or smacked faces
openly. The 1889 elections brought
them the whirlwinds they had
sowed in the winds of the last
five years. Now, those Demo-
Gratis who place Party first are
agreed on standing shoulder to
shoulder in the face Of a flushed
and triumphant enemy.
Congressman John w. Flanna-
gan was comforting with Demo-
Gratis of Dickinson County early

they should be turned three or more
times day from the third to the
eighteenth day. Be sure the hands
are clean and free from oil or grease
when the eggs are turned. If
Matched under hen, this handling

The navy department says that

Gladiator, a British vessel, by the
Liverpool Salvage association, un-
der Capt. Fred w. Young, in 1908.
In salvaging this vessel large steel
cylinders were fastened to the sub
merged portion of the cruiser in
such a way as to increase her
buoyancy. The cylinders were built
of steel plates and bars and were IL
feet in diameter. They varied in
length. from 40 feet to rs feet. The
cylinders were tested to Is pounds
per square inch. The outer skin
was sheathed with wood and the
ends were protected by collision
mating. These steel cylinders had
special valves to admit water for
the purpose of sinking them and
separate valves for the admission of
air to drive out the water when it
was desired to refoat them.
