Vann undertook to take the "Offlce Cat" and both the County and Road Com missioners of our county to task for what the cat said and the action of the two Boards in restricting their Chair men to one Vote should they wish to vote on any motion coming up before their board. Mr. Vann says he is no parlimentarian and bears mostly on what has "been a custom for so far back, and seems to put stress on the point that confines a chairman to one vote would disfranchise him and that his (the chairman's) constituents, would not hav^ any representative, that one vote as the rest of the mem bers were allowed would only tend to tie him. As Mr. Vann says, I don't claim to be any parliroentarian and neither a Methuselah but I do know that his idea as a chairman having two votes on any motion coming up is entirely foreign to what "Robert's Revised Rules of Order" governing all parli mentary and common sense says Now as to what has been a custom, that he also puts stress on, will say that I am not, as stated, an old man, but am 59 years old; have served eight years of my life as county commis sioner of our county and the last two years of my service were spent as chairman of the board, and not during ray stay in office and touching on both my prior knowledge and observa tion of our county government, I have not known the chairman of the board of county commissioners to be allowed the privilege to cast two votes on any one motion. In 1919 the matter was sprung be fore our board as to the chairman having two votes and we obtained "Robert Revised Rules of Order" and wrote to the attorney-general and I wrote to one of our congressmen for advice along that line and the follow ing is the exact light we found on the subject viz: On page 238 of the revised book of parlimdhtary laws you will find thebe words, "if the chairman is a member of the assembly or body he is entitled to vote on any motion, thus in case where a two thirds vote >s necessary and his vote thrown with the minority would de feat the two-thirds vote, he can so cast it and prevent the adoption of the motion; so also, he can vote with the minority when it will produce a tie vote and thus cause the motion to fail; but he cannot vote twice, first to make the tie and then give the de ciding vote." The attorney-general in giving his opinion said that in a few cases he had known the chair to exercise the power of voting twice but from what he had gathered from it, he would not advise it in small bodies. I re ceived the following letter from one of our representatives in congress oh the subject. His name I shall omit. "My Dear Mr. Eley?I guess you have despaired of receiving any answer to your letter of 14th inst I was away at the time your letter came which caused a delay in my making immed iate investigation of the question you propose. I am now prepared to ad rise you as I think correctly. A chair man of any deliberative body has the right to cast his vote upon any pend ing question, if his vote creates a tie he thereby defeats the motion but he cannot vote again and break his tie and carry the motion. The above is in accordance with the general paiii mentary law and the rules that pre vail in the House of Representatives. Hoping I have made the matter clear to you, I am most sincerely, " Now in view of the facts as shown in the authorities I* have cited I do not see how any one can think that the chairman of any email county hpard should vote twice on any mo tion that was before the board. To clothe the chairman with th?r right to vote twice on any motion would be to give him double the ruling power, or perhaps mora tthan that of any other member of the body. Unlike Mr. Vann, I claim that when a chair man is allowed one vote he is clothed with all the power that any other member of board has and in the way he can handle such a vote it may be that he has more power than any other member, a^least he Is far from being disfranchised as is claimed by my friend Mr. Vann. In the way of an illustration, sup pose an important question was to come tip before our board of county commissioners and the three out of the five before the chairman excusing the chair at present were to vote for a measure that was very much for the good of the county and two, through some wrong impression made on them, were to vote against the measure and cast one vote with the minority and make a tie and then cast the second vote and untie it and carry the mo tion. Would that be fair to the other members of the board or would H be for the best county government? j Can't you see in such that the chair! could at any time he saw fit defeat the wishes of his board unless the board could succeed in getting four out of the five leaving the chair out to vote as he saw fit twice or including the chairman with two votes they would have to get four out of the six to keep the chairman from ruling at any time he might see fit In view of such facta, I certainly commend both our county and sroad commissioners for their action in con fining the .chair to one vote. Such an action as I see it, is the only way by which they can hold up the standard of our county and guarantee equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Respectfully, J. M. ELEY.

DR. ANDERSON'S LETTER NOEL, VA., February, 1922. On October 30, 1912, went to the Kellam Hospital, Richmond, Va., suffering with a cancer of the right cheek, which was successfully treated. I was under treatment five weeks. At this writing it has been nine years and four months since I was treated and not the lightest indication of return has been felt or seen. I have sent the following persons to the Hospital who Aere all success fully treatd and rturnd home: ' Mrs. James A. Holmes, cancer of the hose (1010). She was then 66 years old and is still living and well. Mr. John P. Montgomery, cancer of the lower lip (1912). He is 66 years old; is living and well. Mrs. Richard Moore, cancer of the breast (1920). She is entirely well; 46 years of age. . Mr. Elisha Jackson, cancer from right ear more than half around the back of head. He was entirely healed; 69 years of age. Mrs. Harry Duke, cancer on right temple, which involved the temple bone. The temple bone was also removed without the use of the knife. She has been healed (1922).) There are many others from my county who I know have been success fully treated. I have visited the Kellam Hospital frequently since I was , treated there, visiting the dressing rooms, and seen all kinds of cancers of the face, neck, breast, back, body and womb. I saw many cases treated while and since, of the gravest nature; the whole breast was taken off, leaving a clean surface of at least ten inches diameter, and the flesh and skin was grown back, with hardly a scar visible. Some had the superior maxillary bones taken out, and many other unbelievable things unless you were to see them. I am glad I know the Kellams and whaC they are doing for mankind in treating cancers. I consider Kellam treatment the only one worth using in cancerous troubles. ? K S Yours very truly, H. B. ANDERSON, Health Officer of Hanover County, Va. 1 ? ? . .. r .
