A bill j strengthening the public service comi mission was practically killed yesterI day. A bill practically abolishing the' defense by corporations of "Cdntri-' butory negligence" passed the House . and was sent to the Senate. The fer- : i tilizer bill, mentioned in my last letter, was passed and sent to the Sen-. ate. A nine hour day bill applying to I textile industries passed and went to j *L CI? ? this newspaper up to and including the issue of March 10th, at which iine the votes will he counted and announcements *of the winner made.

Bills on sec, ond reading include a bill to require *a license to operate a tobacco ware-, house when selling or handling to. baeco ungraded or untied. If this bill I passes it will probably have an amend; inent mating it unoperative for one ! year. Other bills are the inheritance j j ta:: bill, a bill to require the transfer . ' or assignment of mortgages to be rej corded to constitute notice to third persons, a bill to raise the age of consent of girls from fourteen to sixteen years. Mr. Sellers' bill to abolish scholarships, and a jont resolution to provide for the calling of a constitutional convention. The inheritance tax bill seems to :ne to be one of the most important bills before us to this date, and while . a hard fight will be made against it, I 1 think the chances are excellent for it's passage through the House. Many favor the calling of a constitutional convention, but every time I ask a man what he is going to change which couldn't be as casilv changed by amendment, the answer dooa not come. The cost of this convention would run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, so, while our Judiciary Committee was sharply divided on the issue, I think we can defeat the resolution on the floor of the House. > The matter of tax paying time extension is in conference between the Senate and House. Our Delegation fought for the Senate bill, which was one per cerrt. until April lat, but we were fn a minority in the ttouse. j Next February I expect to introduce a bill for the care and preserva.ion of the records of soldiers and sailors of Chesterfield County in the World War. I Our Delegation has had numerous requests from all parts of the county for the establishment of a Rural Police System for the county. The presc-nt cost of Peace Officers is four chouFand dollars for Constables. The Magistrates get over two thousand dollars in addition to their costs in each civil case. The income to the county from fines is over two thou- ; sand dollars. Our Delegation will de- ( cide on the matter in a conference next Tuesday at Columbia. i Thrtnl'inr* \rr\\% Ttf? * r, juu, mi, umiur, jor your kindness in publishing these com-' munications to the people, I am, Cordially yours, L, C.

In the role of Austin Bevans. hc inherits a young ladies' tchool from his aunt. He wants to change the institution into a "charm" school, wherein all the pupils will be taught how to make themselves , charming, instead of qualifying for ^ the business world, but to put over the 'new idea, he needs ten thousand dol- [ utrs. ne gets tne money and from the tightest man in town.

TO THE OWNERS OF HOME OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS It is very necessary for those who I own orchards to prune and spray them before the trees bloom. My experi ence in working among the different orchards this spring, find that the San Jose Scale and the peach tree boarer are worae than I have ever known them to be, and unless there is something done to check those insects there will be no trees left in a year or so. These insect;-, can be controlled with but very little work and expense. Prune, Spray and worm. Cut the growth of peaches bnck and thin the surplus growth out. Spray vith lime sulphur solutions.
