Virginia is singularly behind
other states in some things. She
has, for instance, but one soldier
of the war of 1912, and Lynchburg
claims him. Every other state in
the Union has any number of those
veterans, who seem to die at the
rate of three a week without any
danger of eXhausting the supply.

THE BRUTAL BRUISERS.

Brutality ensconced under the eu-
phonious title of pugilism is sup
posed to have again exhibited itself
yesterday in the fight between Joe
Goss and Tom Allen. Last week one
man was permitted to pound another
to death under the belief that he
was performing wonders in the sci
ence Of what is sometimes called the
manly art. 1t should be stopped. 1t
is a shame that in this land of courts
and officials, churches and schools,
in the teeth of the law and public
opinion, such things are per-
mitted. When paid officials exhibit
the same promptness and energy in
enforcing the law that violators do
breaking it,then we presume there
Will be some hope of preventing, if
not that Of Furnishing such acts.

year. But this "tramp' matter has been
managed very loosely this year, and If the
bills are not larger than last year, it will be
due entirely to good luck, not 10 wise and
economical management.
Taking the overseer's own statement, and
we regret to say that we can find nothing
therein to change the popular impression
that the management of the Office has been
characterized by reckless extravaganza or
gross incompetency, if not in entire disre-
gard of law. This is shown in what we
have stated; by the fact that, in February,
there were only eighteen inmates of the
poor house, while in these warm summer
months there are forty and, as the overseer
says, NEW ones coming IN every week !"
by the fact that the overseer gives orders
for clothes and supplies unlimited in
amount that he is said to draw orders in
favor of himself, giving the town credit
therefor when the town has voted him no
salary or pay and, above all, because he
refuses to give the treasurer the aggregate
amount Of the orders drawn by him be-
cause it "would place him in a bad light

officer statement of the aggregate amount

IMPROVED COTTON.

We examined the splendid cotton now
growing at the residence of Mr. c. A. Reed,
in this town, on Tuesday evening last, and
it is simply wonderful to behold. Beyond
o doubt, it is the finest cotton ever grown in
Anderson County. There is nearly an acre
of it, and it will average five feet in height,
while the fruitage is most superb. The only
danger is that it will take on so much fruit
as to break down the stalk, and thereby pre-
vent o full crop being gathered. This is the
celebrated "Cheatham" variety, which Mr..
Reed has introduced among our farmers,
and his experiment will justify all that has
been claimed for the seed. He has another
variety known as the Central American"
or red rust-proof cotton, planted in the
small lot adjoining his carriage repository
on Main street, which attracts much atten-
ton from its novel appearance, and is said
to be superior to the "Cheatham" in some
respects. The color of the leaf is red, and q
short distance off it would appear. to be
taken by the rust. It is claimed that the
lint, of, this cotton is superior to oil other
varieties of upland cotton, and that it will
stand excessive heat and drouth, without
shedding scarcely any of its forms. Mr..
Reed certainly deserves great credit for the
introduction of these varieties; and any one
who will examine the patch near his resi-
dence will be astonished at the extraordi-
nary prospect of his crop.
