July II. 1891.
Editors Dispatch We had the first dis
cussIon Of the canvass in our county yester-
day. Colonel Hansbrough, OF Salem, rep
resented the RCadiusters, and Colonel
Berkeley, q Farmville, represented the
Democrats. We were disappointed at
Colonel Hansbrough's speech we expected
one OF more force and power. He seemed
to us to be wanting in both. He talked
of the past and old forgotten things; the
living issues he ignored. Berkeley's reply
was sensible, earnest, and eloquent. III
he bad not been so limited in time Colo
mel Hansbrough would not have had a
feather i'm bis plume to carry back to the
mountains. BY the arrangement Berkeley
had only one hour, HanSbrough two and
the conclusion. Our people are IN earnest
in this fight. We do not intend 10 be sold
out to the Republicans. This party now
has shown itself to be Republican in all
things save one, and that is on The DEBT
question; and on that it Is worse than the
Republicans, for they profess to be in favor
of maintaining the public credit. our
negroes are divided; the majority OF them
are against fusion. They want straight
out ticket. hope they will fuse. We can
beat them easier. for the better class OF the
Republicans will desert them in that event.
know many who will. Cameron is not
strong here-not so strong a Massey wonld
have been. We mean to carry our county
this fall if you will give us good ticket
We have had fine rains and the crops are
good. There is great mineral excitement
here, and if our people will stop croaking
uphold The public credit, and cease decrying
the wealth Of the old State and preaching
her poverty, all Will soon be well with Us

At the meeting OF the Conservatives CT
Dale district held at the courthouse on Sat-
urday last Or. T. J. Cheatham was elected
as delegate to the GuDernatOrial COnven-
ton, MessrS. Lee Wells, b. j. Duval,
George Mason, Robert \. Winfree, and T..
G. Farmer, were elected delegates to the
County Convention, which will meet at the
court.hou,e on the 2Sh day OF July.
Messrs. Winfree and Farmer have hereto
tofore acted with the Readiusters, but be-
coming Disguised with the actions OF that
party they returned TO their first love.
The Republicans met here on Saturday
night TO elect delegates TO their county con-
yention, which will send delegates to the
Lynchburg Convention. The Readiuster
element prevailed, and succeeded in elect
ing their delegates. several prominent
white Rtadjustcr leaders were present and
succeeded in getting the meeting TO ratlfy
the election OF the chairman and district
committee elected by the ReadiuScrS at
their meeting some time ago. This was not
done without difficulty, however, for when
the motion was made Allen Hill, the
straighiOut chairman, refused TO recognize
the motion, and, together with bis followers,
left The room. But another chairman was
elected and the motion carried. During
the meeting speeches were made by Messrs.
Maddox, Morse, and others from Peters
burg in favor OF coalition, in which they
charged the Democrats as being thieves and
plundPrers. and claimed that the Readlusler
party is the way OF salvation for the colored
man. In reply to this colored Republican
said: I" II the Democrats have been stealing
for the last fifteen years the ReSdjusters
bad their share i'm IL; therefore 1t is not safe
for Us to take them with Us, because, you
know, a man never iorgets his trade"

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, A sNAKE'sTORY, And
CRIME,
[From the Lee Sentinel

From the Lee Sentinel
A terrible accident occurred at saw-mllI
al the mouth OF Four.Mile creek, near
Rose Hill. A, young man named Martin
called at the mill and was watching ITS
operations. lie was Standing directly In
front OF the circuIar.saw, and facing II,
when some piece OF the machinery struck
him and caused him to pitch forward. The
rapidly revolving saw struck bin directly
on the top OF the head, saving his head and
body open from the top TO the chest, pass
Ing almost through the centre, leaving the
nose a little to one side. The body was
then thrown across the saw, and one leg
was cut off at the hip. The body was then
thrown around aud the heels OF both ieet
were torn off. The sight was sickening In
the extreme. The sawyer ran to the lever
and attempted TO throw the machinery out
OF gear, but the revolving sight caused hlm
to flint, and be fell senseless at his post.
The mangled body continued to breathe Tor
fifteen minutes.

INToxICATIoN AND PROFANITY.
1T is no longer good form in
society to be seen intoxicated :; it
is as vulgar as profanity, and the
society Of gentlemen in England
is day by day freeing itself from
drunkenness as it is from profan-
ity. The taste for alcohol is, we
believe, dying out, in the refine
ment Of the age just as the indul.
gence i'll profane swearing it. 1t
is not so long ago that men used
to swear in the presence OF ladies,
nor is it an age that even ladies
could rip out & round oath on oc-
casions. We are getting more
decent Ill around. And de~~ncy
in the upper classes is sure, in
time. TO descend to the lower.
'Tipsyness" is already unspeak-
ably vulgar in mach of English
society, and in America as we'll.

We clip the following extract,
showing the way in which some
of our merchants have risen from
an humble, non-remunerative po-
sition to that Of wealth and prom
nence:
A few years ago g large drug
firm advertised for a boy. The
next day the store was thronged
with applicants, among them a
queer-looking little fellow, accom-
panied by a woman, who proved
TO be his aunt, in lieu of father
less parents, by whom he had
been abandoned. Looking at this
little waif, the merchant in the
store said. Cant take him !;
places all full; besides, ne is too
small i know he is small, said
the woman, 'but he is willing and
faithful There was twinkle in
the boys eye which made the
merchant think again. A partner
in the firm volunteered to remark
that 'he did not see that they
wanted such q boy-he wasn't
bigger than a pint Of cider But
after consultation the boy was
set to work A few days la
ter call was made on the
boys in the store for some one
to stay all night. The prompt
response of the little fellow con-
trasted we'll with the reluctance
of others. In the middle Of the
night the merchant looked in TO
see If all was right in the store:
and presently discovered his
youthful protege busy scissoring
labels. What are you doing ?
said be. 4 did no. tell you to
work nights I know you did not
tell me So. but | thought [ might
as well be doing somethiDg.' In
the morning the cashier got or
ders to double that hoys wages,
for be is wiling Only q few
weeks elapsed before a show Of
wild beasts passed through the
streets, and, very naturally, all
hands in the store rushed to wit
ness the spectacle. A thief saw
his opportunity, and entered the
rear door to seize something, but
in u twinkling found himself firm
ly cIutched by the diminutive
clerk aforesaid, and, after q strug-
gle, was captured. Not only
robbery was prevented, but valua-
bic articles taken from other stores
were recovered. When asked by
the merchant why be stayed be-
hind to watch when all others quit
their work, he replied: You told
me never to leave the store when
others were absent. and | thought
I'd say Orders were immedia-
tely given once .more-'Double
that boys wages; he is willing
and faithful To-day that boy is
getting $4,000, and next January
he will become a member of the
firm.
