A correspondent at Union City says
that Miss Susan Godsa, the somno-
lent wonder of Obian county, is not
dead, as heretofore reported, and gives
the following accountof visit which
he paid her few days ago,
The sleeper walked twice during
our visit, and seemed to be very con-
scious of everything going on around
her during her waking moments,
which only lasts from five to ten
minutes. She very willingly answers
such questions as are put to her. She
seems of a very mild, patient and
gentle disposition, and her ideas OF
ordinary things are very clear. When
asked what above all things she most
desired, replied that she wanted to
get well and wanted nothing else.
She is not awake long enough to
form any connected ideas ofanything,
and even when awake, she suffers 80
much that her mind seems incapable
of entering upon any thought other
than her actual necessities. Her
sleep Is by no means, AZ some think,
a calm repose, but, on the contrary,
she is every four or five minutes seiz-
ed with violent commissions, though
she Is unconscious of any pain during
her sleeping moments. II Is impos
sible to keep her awake longer than
her regular time, and when asked II
she would not like to keep awake,
replied that she would IL she did moi
suffer so much, thereby evidencinQ
the fact that her waking moments
are more to be dreaded than wished
| for. aliI - rfurf'li Efi4 tiA

SEVEN PINEs.--Two hundred years
ago or more party Of hunters from
jamestown encamped among the
bushes, about six miles from the pres
ent site Of Richmond, and during the
night they were invited to q "corh-
dance where their Indian neigfibors
celebrated the return of the harvest.
In order to guard against the danger
of losing their way while returning
without their dusky guide they
searched for landmarks. And, among
other things, they selected seven
pines which grew from the same
stump and chipping these trees with
their hatchets, they concluded they
could safely retrace their steps by the
way of the "seven pines" The spot
became afterward camping ground
for white hunters; and as they sepa-
rated in the morning, wherever they
might be, they usually arranged to
meet at noon under the "seven
pines" Thus 1t was named, which,
after the elapse of two centuries was
to be known throughout the civilized
world as the Battlefield of Seven
Pines.

Oppressive system Of Taxation.

The blight cast over commerce and
trade by legislative enactment,
whether under exhorbitant levies in
in taxation, extravaganza duties for
imports, or such kindred exactions,
or even the annoyances of an ill-ad-
vised detective saystem, is plainly ex-
hibited i'm our daily transactions.
Without ascribing our present Oppres-
sive regulations to the mistaken poll
tics of any creed or sect, whether in
power now or hungrily awaiting pre-
dominancy at our next election, We
must say there are evils I'm our present
system which should be remedied.--I
Certain branches of merchantile en-
terprise have been saddled with regu-
lations, provisOs, conditions, and tax
alton, which We're war-begotten and
and for whose continuance there Is
now no Use. To carry on the war,
extraordinary taxes We're levied, and
loud mouthed orators who, wishing
to court popular favor or crafty in
nate malice, prescribed certain COM
modities eagerly sought after by OPP
pressive duties. Disguise IL as you
will, many of ourprinceiy merchants

caption of "Compounders and Recti-

unheard of before our last war.
Ask to-day the detective living on
a salary liable to be augmented Mt
any time by paw-9redsing-for we
are all hnman-the difference be-
tween compounder and rectifier,
and blank, stolid countenance,
worthless mouth, and gaping stare Is
our answer. Why, then, hamper one
branch of trade with undue restric-
tons, clog with useless membranes
or annoy with petty regulations a
branch Of trade which so greatly aug

the battle-fe of Gettysburg had, In
the distant past, been the scene Of a
bloody struggle between the Indians

THE WHITE sULPHER SPRINGz
SIXTY YEARS AGO. If0i

A Visitor in the Season of 1911 Re-
lates some of Her Experience-Hts
tOrical and Romantic Incidents
blended. sre g.n.ft ! ?
AS the demand for news from this
place cannot always be gratified,
writes the Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch, July 81, since amid
all its delights the present sometimes
lacks incident, your correspondent
supposes few memories of the past
may not be without interest,"
He accordingly furnishes the follow
ing details, communicated to him by
q lady "a former habitue of the
springs, by whom he is permitted to
give them substantially in her own
words: ..,l -.
The first visit I remember making
to the White Sulpher was in the sum-
mer of 1911. My father resided in
Eastern Virginia, and, as was the
custom of many gentleman of that
day, visited the springs every season
with his family, in heavy travelling
carriage, with horses servants etc. The
journey, now so readily performed I'm a
day, then not unfrequently required
ten, and was rendered peculiarly irk-
some by the necessity of stopping at
night ut inns of the primitive des-
cription then common even on high
ways. I3f hI H.,lI'i
The wildness of the country about
the springs sixty years ago presented
considerable contrast to its present
condition Gentlemen returned often
in the evening with such tro-
phies as bears, deer and wild cat, and
the dismal barking of the wolves in
the neighboring forest made night
hideous and disturbed the slumbers OF
bellies after the ball scarcely less than
the civilized shrek Of the locomotive
that draw the early eastward-bound
train I'm our more favored time. The
buildings, generally, then were OF
logs, and, as L well remember, the
cabins were eleveated on blocks so
high as to furnish favorable shelter
| for the hogs that roamed atlarge, and
whose proximity was anything but
agreeable to the occupants. The
rudeness of the accommodations was
fully represented mot to say atoned
for) by the charges of that period
