TlII. BONE. MILL.

Entering upon the main floor of the
building the first thing that claims our
attention is the bone mill, Il heavy piece
of machinery. by which the bones are
broken and ground to proper consist
ency. Next is the mixer. a circular re-
voIvinw pan, about six feet i'll diameter,
into which is thrown a proner proportion,
by weight, of the different ingredients
that compose the fertilizer, and upon
this mixture is turned stream of sui
phuric acid. This acid is for the pur-
pose of ,liSSolving the insolublc phoS-
phate and rendering it active when put
upon land. From the mixer the phos-
phatc passes into the lower room. where
in a short time it dries sufficiently to be
shoveled into an elevator. by which it is
carried to the third floor and passed
through line screens that remove any
large PARTICLES of bone and sends them
back IT, the mill to he re-xrouni. The
finished phosphate is then passed down
Il wooden spout into the bags. These
are sewcd up by mmblc fingers. and the
fertilizer is ready for shipment. The
men ba"ged tifty-nine tons Of phosphate
on Tuesday last but even this is not their
full capacity. The rapidity with which
the bags are Sewcd is wonderful. one man
being able to sew three hundred, con-
tanning thirty tons. in y day. The Com
pany is putting in a set of hnrrs in this
room, with their attendant machinery.

THE HONEST MASSES WILL NOT FOL-
Low THEIR O FFIcE-sEEKING LEADERS.
1T seems evident that whilst the lea
ders of the Malone party are going into
the Republican party. as they cannot
get the offices they want from the Dem
ocratic party, that the masses of that
party, who are not disappointed office
seekers, will feel it their duty to act
with the Democratic party in opposition
to the hybrid ticket nominated by the
Malone party. 1t is difficult to make
Republicans of honest Democrats who
are not office.seekers. The leaders may
go to the Republican party but the mas
ses will not follow them. They will be
true to their principles and consistent
with their past record, and will vote for
the nominees of the Democratic Con-
vention. This is the account we receive
from all portions of the State. The
masses of the Democratic readjusters re-
fuse to be led into the Republican
party, and they spurn with indignation
the hybrid ticket nominated by the
Malone Convention. They see the use
that is proposed to be made of them,
and they will not suffer themselves to
be make mere catspaws to draw ches-
nuts from the fire to be munched by the

A PROMINENT READJUSTER REPU-
DATES THE MALONE TICKET.-A cor
of the State, writing from
Bristol, says "that DR.. r. G. Craig, the
elector for Washington
county, Va, in 1879, and the conceded
candidate for the Legislature by the Re-
adjuster party, has written lengthy
letter and sent copies of the same to
several papers in Southwest Viz
ginia in which he declines to run as
Re-adjuster candidate for the Legisia-
ture, and he declines. also, to support
the neutrality-suspicious. Cameron tick
ct. He declares that the ticket does not
contain single clement embodying
the Re-adjuster principles that Came
ron was too much of debt-payer, want
ing to pay the debt of West Virginia as
well as Virginia proper; that Lewis
was Republican that Blair was a
Repudiator, not only of the State
debt, but wanted to apply the same
principle to the United States debt ;
that he could not and would not support
such mongrel ticket. He was going
to support the Democratic ticket, and
that all good Democratic Re-adjusters
would do as he was going to do. He
regards the Cameron-Lewis ticket as 8
movement of Mahone's to drag Read
justers into the Republican party"

BUT TWO T1CKETs.-The Woodstock

BUT TWO TICKETs.-The Woodstock
Tirginian, edited by Harry Ridddleber-
ger, in its issue of Friday last, says =
"Wickham, Yost d Co., have incu.
bated and brought forth resolution to
hold a convention on the Oath day OF
August, to nominate an assistant Funder
ticket. Let no one be disturbed
about this. There will be but two
tickets before the people of Virginia
this fall. Put this in your hat and keep
it.n
It will be observed that Riddleberger
says that there will be "but two tickets
before the people of Virginia this Fall, "
but he does not say whether that result
will be brought about by the failure OF
the Republican Convention to nominate
ticket, or by the withdrawal of the
Malone ticket in the event that the
Republican Convention shall nominate
ticket. Which party will "cave," he
does not say, but it is evident that he
thinks one of them will. if he is sincere
in the statement that there will be but
too tickets.
Some think that the Malone hybrid
ticket will be withdrawn, if the Repub-
lican Convention shall nominate q
ticket, as in that event, it will be SO ri
diculously small as to excite derision.

It is not Gen. Mahone's action in the
State of Virginia in the past that un.
settled his Democracy. The legislation
of his party was suspicious, his promises
to negroes more so, still he was claim
ing, and his friends claimed for him
and themselves, to be Independent of
the Conservative party in Virginia but
loyal to the National Democratic party,
faithful to the candidates and platform
of the Cincinnati Conveniently fact,
they. claimed to be more in accord with
both candidate and platform than the
Democrats who attended the Conven-
ton from Virginia. General Malone
passed the Rubicon when he voted SO as
to tie the Senate and give the Vice Presi-
dent the casting vote-then he aided the
Republican party directly, then he
he struck the National Democratic par
ty blow, and then he openly severed
his connection with it. He will not
come back. He has not only given aid
and comfort to Radicalism but he has
directly won victory for the Republl-
can party by his vote.-LynchburQ Ad.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHARLOTTEs-

Vile, whilst Mr.. Lafayette Robertson,
an operative at the Charlottesville
Wooden. Mills, was walking on the rail-
road track he stepped off Of one track
on to another to avoid an approaching

proach on that track of some detached

ran over him, and killed him instantly.
The Jefersoni0s says =
1.-THE deceased was spinner at the
Mills, and a steady and Industrious
young man. He was about thirty. five
years of age, and leaves widow and
one child.
The funeral services were held at the

The South has been solid, but solid
only against Radicdlisna. To break the
solid South is to turn over one or more
of these States to the Radical party
that much is plain. The Readjuster
leaders openly profess their intention to
break it by the coming campaign In
Virginia. That means that Virginia is
to be withdrawn from the States OPP
posed to Radicalism. That means Vir-
ginia is to be made Radical. Escape
from the logic who can! Then let us
have no more sneaking. Let those who
are going with Malone into this fight

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT THE TICKET.
The Spirit of the Valley. the organ OF
the Mahoneites in Rockingham, says
that 1.-The Republicans are overwhelm-
ingly in favor of supporting Cameron,
Lewis, and Blair" and yet it expects
Democratic Readjusters to vote for that
ticket. Well may a Democratic read
juster say: "Is thy servant dog that
he would do that thing ?"
That paper says that Of $50 who voted
the Republican ticket in Harrisonbure
at the Presidential election, there are
but three who are opposed to the Ma
hone ticket. If SO acceptable to the Re-
publicans, how can it be expected that
Democrats will support it. Do Demo
Gratis become Republicans when they
become readjusters. Not many.
