THE STAMP ACT.
What the People Think of it.

What the People Think Of it.
In all sorts of ways the people
are speaking ont in reference to
the Daniel Stamp Act published in
our last issue. 1t has called firth
the strongest condemnation. at
length the people begin to see what
the Funders mean to do, and what,
if the Funders succeed, the people
will have to bear. This stamp tax
is an instance. AS specimen of
public opinion on it, we publish the
following letter, written by an en-
terprising and active citizen of this
county. We omit his name, as the
writer even goes so far as to say he
does not wish the letter printed,
but merely writes it to strengthen
our hands. Here is the letter.
MR., l. G. FOWLER, Bristol, Tenn.
Dear SRI am glad to see that you
are exposing to view that abominable,
not TO say infamous stamp Tax
Bill" fathered 10y the honorab gen.
tleman from Lynchburg, John w.
Daniel who is now prominent amongst
the candidates. for the Chair of this
Commonwealth. Whilst | am willing
TO he taxed to pay just and equitable
proportion of the State debt, nay. all
of it If it he right aud in accordance
with justice and fair dealing, but may
the Lord deliver me from ever casting
a vote in favor of any m II, for any
public office, who are seeking to bur-
den an over-taXed peol lie with the ad-
diIional nu | S ance of universal
Stamp TaXn-the very thoughts of ii
is loathsOme. Every tax payer would
| infinitely prefer to pay twice or even
| three times the present al valOrum
tax than to be everlastingly annoyed
with the horrid stamps on everything
he handles. Jno. w. Daniel may he a
great orator and soldier, but he will
never do for a statesman so long as he
entertains and advocates such schemes
for raising taxes, which he will learn
before the canvass is ended.

COMMUNICATED |
To tie Editor Of the NewS :

DEAR SIR-Iu your last issue Of the
NC6cS you represent Maj. Daniel as the
friend and supporter of the Funding
Bill. This is IA mistake. Maj. Daniel
not only spoke tut also rOtCd against
that abOmlnable measure. The Major
is no fundcr, and never was. On this
veXPd question Of the public debt lie
will be found not one whit behind any
of the candidates in demanding a just
and equitable compromise.
1t the same paper you also ascrihe
to him the authorship of the STAMP
Bill. He proposed no stamp tax. He
added an amendment to the stamp
Bill to tax II II. tickets, tax that
would have fallen upon the Railroads );
n fact that accounts for the opposition
of Railroad men to his election.
| have no idea, MI. Editor, that there
was any Intentional misrepresentation
of the views of Major Daniel on these
questions, and know have only to
mention the matter and you will take
pleasure in correcting the errors COM
planned of.
We all have our preferences among
the candidates for the high Office of
Governor of Virginia, but none of us,
| am sure, would Intentionally do any
thing to place any of the distinguished
aspirants in false position before the
people. Yours, most truly,
j. Ii. WINSTON.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Gen. NKahOnc's Views on the
Subject.
PETERSBURG Va,
June ~ 1917,
NV Dear Sir:


You rightly conjcctured that l am
the friend of the public school system
of Virginia. AID my matured convic-
ton is that 1t should be clectually
nurtured. The experience of other
communities combines with the pecu-
liarly appealing condition Oi certain
elements of our population to cons
vince me that wisdom and humanity
require that free education should be
a leading and favored feature Of our
domestic policy. The children Of
those who gave their lives, and Of
those who sacrificed their fortunes,
to the defence Of the Commonwealth
have rightful claim upon popular
guardianship. and there is no condi>
ton of affairs which could Justify a
denial of evasion of that obligation.
Again | consider that the best inter
est of the State demand that large
class of persons recently admitted Ia
the privilege OF citizenship should
receive careful aud ample instruction
in every branch Of learning that may
ft them Tor proper discharge Of IL

son, the leading Fundcr of all
Virginia, voted side by side for it,
and Mr.. Daniel moved to make
Mr.. Smiths bill great deal worse
than it was by his amendment taxi
ing railway passengers.
Prof. Winston says this tax
would have fallen upon the rail,
roads, but our italics in Mr.. Dan.
ieIs amendment show EXACTLY
OTHERWISE, and Prof. Winston will
see that he is very badly mistaken
in this matter. The railroads are
directed to make this tax just so
much additional on each passenger,
and the outrage of the bill is made
apparent beyond all possible con
troversy by Mr.. Daniels own
amendment, which says that the
railroad company shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemcanor and fined
5000 to $500 if IT FAILS TO charge
each passenger just SO much more
than it would otherwise have done.
Here is the language of Mr.. Dams
iel's amendment again
"Sixth-Any company, or agent
thereof who shall, after the first day
of June, 1876, issue any ticket to a
passenger whom it requires to pay q
fare without first stamping the same,
according to the terms of this act, or
,OhO ehdN .fuH to require such pdSSen-
ger to pay the fine or ten cents ADDI-
TIoNAL to his fare, as required by this
act, shall be deemed guilty OF q mis-
denlednOr, DC"
Here you have it then, plain enough.
Mr.. Daniel even put the roads under
heavy penalties which required them
to make the people pay it, The idea
of Prof. Winston that it would have
fallen upon the railroads." falls to the
ground. OF course, his conclusion
that this is "a fact that accounts for
| the opposition of Railroad men to his
election" is absolutely, wholly and
irrevocably Overthrown. Our friend
| Winston is not often mistaken, but he
doubtless spoke from data furnished
him ly Mr. Daniel and he must see
that in this case Mr.. Daniel won't dc
to rely on.
Now. about that Funding Bill. II
! is doubtless true that Mr. Daniel 70,
ted against it in 1871. But many OF
the worst Funders in the State say the
bill ought never to have been passed
but having been passed is irrevocnble
and we must submit to its eXaCtions
or the fact that lie is and has been IL
favor of increasing taxation in ordel
10 meet the terms of the Funding
this STAMP Act. Witness the fac
that he is being championed by Gen
Bradley johnson, of Richmond
VIII any man say that Gen. johnson
| IL IOI ltuulilB TuuutI vi lllS Oldtc
Witness the fact that, though callet
upon by the state and other papers t.
define his position on the debt ques
ton, he answers not. The call is,
90 Daniel Where art thou ?'
and echo answers where !" Genera
Terry and Gen, Malone speak out
We know where they stand.
Did Mr.. Daniel ever attend any o
the anti funder meetings of the Wiz
ginia Legislature A? Never, we think
Certainly not those of 1856.
We hope Prof. Winston will help u
take the near and staight cut acros
all this by voting for a man whom
we knolO to he in faver of re-adjust
ment of the public debt, Let us rul
no more risks. make no more expert
ments. We take pleasure in laying
his letter before our readers.

seemed no hope of rescue. But the

now got nearly all Of them between
the upper and neither millstones. The
colored surety of ex-Treasurer Cardoza
has surrendered him to prison; ex-
Governor Moses has turned States

The PHILADELPHIA PREss.-Col
John W. FOrney has sold his entire
interest in the Press, of Philadelphia.
to Capt. W. w. Nevin, and retired
from the editorial chair Of that paper.
Col. FOrney has been proprietor of the
Press since the first of August. 1857,
and in his valedictory he reviews his
course from that date to the present,
and says that he has done his best to
make good, honest, readable paper.
In this he succeeded, for the Press has
for years been regarded as one Of the
leading and best papers Of Philadel-
phia. The new proprietor oficiated
as editor-in-chief of the paper in which
he now assumes control during Col.
Forney's absence in Europe as Cen
tennial Commissioner in 18745-6, and
consequently is thoroughly posted in
regard to his new purchase and the
method Of conducting it.

siderably damaged, and several vessels blown
ashore,
Alexander b. Wilson, aged 43 years, was
recently discovered sitting BY the roadside near
HuntingReId, Kent county, with his clothing

lighted pipe which be had put in his panta-
looms pocket.
Mrs. VIM, Carey, Of Talbot county, went to
store last week for some shopping, and on
her return she was attacked by negro man,
and, becoming very much alarmed, she ran
