Messy CREEK PAPER Mills BURNED.

Messy CREEK PAPER MILLS BURNED
We regret exceedingly to learn that the Mos
sy Greek Paper Mills, located near Mt. So
Ion, in this coulty, and owned by Felix T.
Sheets & Co., we're consumed by fire on last
Saturday night The work, it is believed,
was that Of an incendiary, and it was effectu.
al, as the buildings and machinery were en-
tirely consumed, together with all the stock,
except about $1,000 worth of paper. The
mills were valued at $4,000, and we learn
we're insured for $4,000, but Of this we are
not certain. The dwelling Of Mr.. Sheets was
saved by the greatest difficulty. The mills
furnished the papers Of the city, and other
portions Of the Valley, also, to part Of Eastern
Virginia, and Western Virginia. They also
supplied wrapping paper to our merchants
We hope the proprictors will be able to speed
lily rebuild them on larger scale and regain
their losses.
Since writing the above we learn from Mr..
Sheets that the insurance ON this particular
building was 1850, in the West Rocking
ham Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Of
which Capt John H. Ralston is President.
HoNoRs CONFERRED AT the recent COM
mencement of Roanoke College the degree of

Tho Old Commonwealth, Harrisonburg, sug
gests the Importance Of Convention, in view
softhe multiplicity Of candidates in the field
and likely to be, and the certainty Of the Dis
trict being represented by Republican, if
enc is not held. ,a
Conventions are sometimes regarded as es.
sential features of party machinery, but the
idea involves contravention of the will OF
the people. Since the war, especially, there
has been growing aversion to them. AS
the field now stands, we do not believe Re-
publican could be elected. The danger is
Shat convention would bring about the We
ry result it was called to forestall. The de-
Ssated candidates and their friends would re-
, gard themselves as aggrieved and independent
aspirants would certainly be announced. We
had that demonstrated in the last congress
sfonal contest. Even if independently did
hot come out, it would have the effect to alb
sent from the polls many who do not regard
party as essential to the salvation Of the coun
try.
We may have further remarks upon thi
. subject hereafter. In the meantime, it j
not our purpose to be cautiously inclined.
=, Since writing the above, we observe tina
r. T. Daniel, Chairman of the Conservativ,
State Committee, has issued an order, in &C
-cordance with a previous resolution of the
Committee, to the effect, that Convention
shaN be held for every elective ofice-fron
Governor down to town ship Offices, including
II course, members of Congress. 1t pre-.
scfibes the mode and amer of procedure il
calling the conventions and appointing the
delegates. If it had named the candidates il
would have been complete. Our mind in
stinctively revolts against such arbitrariness
1t may be necessary to preserve the best in
: terests Of the State and the supremacy of par
ty. But we can't see it. We believe that
Just such assumptions of power, will drive of
from the nominees of convention more good
conservatives, than any other agency Men
do not recognize the necessity of military rig
or in times Of peace. They will not 60 into
Il . conventions, nor will they be bound by
them. They will support the nominees il
they please them, and not otherwise. This
applies to a certain class. Another class, o.
coursey will view the matter in differen
light, and recognize the binding force of par.
y organization, let the nominee be whom hi
may.
