THE END OF -DA VID.

And its came to pass that the people
sent up loud shout, and David sendeth
his cup bearer out to know of them for
what they lifted up their voices, and he
returned unto his master and saith unto
him, ''My Lord the children of Ham are
slain as sheep. Even in the land of Sandy
Hollow are they destroyed, and unto Boil
var the city of the great captain John Har-
man hath the Amalekite Kemper smitten
them.'' And David looketh from his tent
and saith s'Lo, it is even true for my peo
pie flee as the deer" And he saith unto
his servant Come hither.' And his SER
want sayeth ''Here am Lord. The Lord
forbid that thou shouldst slay me, for this
days work. seeing that am but poor in
spector of Government tod" And David
sayeth "Peace Give me atod of the wine
called Bumgardner, and put me in my lit
tie bed, for verify this Amalekite hath
smote me hip and thigh, and am sore dis
tressed. Bring hither again my spectacles
of gold, and my hat of the skin of the beaver,
and l will get me up into the Temple, and

''Even as thousayeth." And David sayeth.
E'And see thou that no scribe of newspa-
per seeketh to speak unto me, for in the
day that he doeth so, in that day he dieth."
And there was great lamentation among
the Hamites throughout the land for, said
they, the good David is gone up, and the
wicked AmalelSite Daniel reigneth in his

Railroad which is largely indebted to the

peake and Ohio Railroad Company has is
sued circular to bondholders, in which he
says the only way to re-establish the credit
of the company is to fund its entire float
ing debt in income bonds to be paid out of
the net earnings of the road. The compa
ny has authorized the issue of seven per
cent. twenty-year income bonds to the
amount of $12, 100000 to be used in retir-
ing the floating debt and in funding the in
terest that may. accrue on its six per cent.

THE STATE ELECTION.

The people Of Virginia decided on Tues
day last by 10000 majority to retain the
government of their State in the hands of
the intelligent class, and repeated with
greater emphasis than they did four years
ago, that ignorance, banded solidly togeth-
Ell, led by no matter whom, shall never
have control Of this Commonwealth
Looking back calmly at the great danger
we have escaped, it appears even more WV
id than when viewed in the excitement of
an approaching conflict. Virginia would
have been hardly inhabitable if the Radi-
cal programme had been carried out. 1t
was announced by their organ in Rich
mond that, if they carried the State their
legislature would put new judges into the
county courts, which would have been the
signal forbloodshedi in all the eighty coun-
ties in this State. This would have been
the opening of Radical rule. No people on
earth have greater cause to-day for graft
tude to the Almighty than the people Of
Virginia. Let us remember it in reverent
thankfulness. We have now secured Peace
for a Life time, that great promoter of pros
perity, and in which alone all the citizens
Of the State can enjoy all their rights
peace with the colored people, peace with
the national administration, peace with
the North. Now immigration from the
North can come in safely with its capital,
with thejfull assurance that Virginia is
to have a stable government for years to
come, and we can only repeat to it the as
surrance given by the people and press OF
Virginia, so often in the campaign, that 1t
is always welcome.
And now just one word to our fellow
citizens who are in the full flush Of victo-
~. The very meanest feeling in the hui
man heart, to be found only in the very
dregs and drainage of it, is revenge. 1t is
9 a passion that belongs to brutes alone, and
hasn't a particle Of true nobility about it
a passion only fitted for the lowest class OF
humanity. DON'T let's have any OF it i'll
Virginia. No threats of prescription and
all that sort of thing. 1t would be a poor
Republic indeed, if every man couldn t act
in the politics of the country just as he saw
fit. The negroes hate and prescribe those
of their color who vote against them, and
this may be all very well for them, they are
Ignorant and untitled for any sort OF gov
ernment but. DON'T ,let'sihaye white men
hating and prescribing each other. Let
every one of us now work Tor Virginia,
work to make every citizen, of whatever
color, feer assured that his rights are safe
under. the government, and work to
strengthen that bond of goodfeeling among
all Virginia's citizens, without which all
other work; is in vain.

TIE STATE ELECTION

The election all over Virginia Tuesday,
passed off quietly, the only trouble of the
time having occurred in Petersburg the
night before, occasioned by some negroes
stoning white peoples houses. The mill.
tary were put under arms there, a colored
company volunteering to join the white
soldiers in keeping order. In Richmond
there seems to have been some apprehen-
sion of riot, and the LIST regiment was
kept in readiness, but none occurred. All
the Valley counties did well. In Shenan-
doah Moore and Riddlebarger were elected
to the House, and Gollardy is. believed to
be elected County Treasurer. In Rock
ingham Dr. Moffett is elected to the Sen
ate. The vote in Richmond resulted in the
election of the Conservative ticket by 1916
majority, Mr.. VIM. S. Gilman leading the
ticket handsomely. We give below a
statement of the majorities reported so
far:

suited disastrously for the Republicans
In New York the democratic and liberal

jority, while the Republican strength in

In Massachusetts, no substantial change is
noticed, the State being Republican as
usual. In New Jersey the Republicans
ose in the Assembly they lose also on
the general vote in Michigan. In Wiscon-
sin the long standing political situation is
reversed, a democratic candidate being
elected Governor, after Il republican SUI
premacy of many years. In Mississippi the
issue was between two republican candi-
dates for Governor-Alcorn and Ames-
the democrats supporting the latter and
the chances at last accounts seemed to be
in his favor.
