Micajah Woods Of Albemarle.
Editors Tind,cator

EU1tOTS FtUutCUtOT.
The Democratic party in this Congress
sional District can select no candidate as
it's Standard Bearer, who can rally about
him as many enthusiastic supporters east
of the Blue Ridge, and especially in Albe-
marie county, as Capt. Micajah Woods
1t is time for this part of the District to
be represented IN the selection of Con-
gresham, and it can, fortunately for the
whole district, supply, in Capt. Woods, a
candidate every way worthy to represent
it in Congress.
He was, when but youth. faithful
soldier, and held the office of Lieutenant
of artillery at the close of the late wall
He entered the University of Virginia as
student in 1866, and DISTINGUISHED him
self as diligent and faithful one. Al
ter graduating in the School of Law, he
settled in Charlottesville. in his native
county, and very soon was elected to the
Office of Attorney for the Common wealth,
an office to which he has been successfully
reelected ever since and which he now
holds. He is an attractive and fOrcible
speaker, man OF fine appearance, of
pleasant address and of steady habits, and
every way worthy, intellectually and NOR
ally. to represent our District in Congress.
Ii is estimated by those who have the
best means of knowing. that he will carry
Albemarle county by a majority larger. by
500. than any other candidate who can be
selected in the District, east or west OF
the RIDGE. ALBEMARLE.

Although this beautiful, this delightful,
this most attractive place is sixteen miles
south Of Lake Erie. it is only about day
and half from Staunton via Pittsburg.
by the lightning express trains of the
Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad. You leave
Staunton at Z A. M, and the next after
noon, after comfortable nights rest in
Pittsburg, you are sailing in a. well ap-
pointed steamer over the sparkling and
placid waters of this jewel of lake, set
like pearl in tie midst of the most gor-
geous scenery that ever eye Of man fell
upon. The entrance to the lake from
Jamestown, where the rail cars land you.
IS narrow, deep channel of running wa
ter. the outlet of the lake. The plash of
the steamers paddles overflows the banks
on either side and the great green trees on
the banks, almost meet above Bhe pilot
house of the steamer. Once out fairly on
the bosom of the little inland sea, which
is not more than twenty miles long and
five wide, you take in the. fair. prospect
and drink in the pure, cool atmosphere,
100 feet higher than Lake Erie and feel
that you are in new world.

Intere sting "reminiscences of DR.. Plumel

Intere sting "reminiscences Of DR.. Plumer.
A venerable citizen of Lewisburg, w.
Va, has been contributing series OF inter-
esting personal recollections of the old
time pupils of the famous preacher, DR..
McElhenuey. there, to the columns of the
Greenbrier "Independent." In the last
number of that paper he gives the follow
ing sketch Of the great and revered DR..
Plumer:
William Swan Plumer was born In
Greersburg, (now Darlington.) Penns, Iva
MIA, July Goth, 1902. Leaving home he
came to the Kanawha Valley and worked
at the salt wells awhile, and then walked
to Lewlsburg and started to school to DE.
McElhenney at tie Lewisburg Academy
He boarded at the Long Ordinary" and
when his means grew scant Col. Samuel Nc
Chung who had taken a great fancy to the
boy, invited him TO come and stay at his
house Col. McClung then lived in the Weth-
cred house, and was always friend to the
friendleSs. Willie Plumer made himself
very useful about the house. and the Col
onel. when he went to Richmond as a
member of the Virginia legislature, left
him in charge of his family. He Was 10
years old wheu he began with DIR. NIGEL
henney. The boy was hard student
He was always among the first on the play
ground and among the first to books
What he did he did with his whole soul.
| Having prepared himself for college, Col.
McClung fitted him cut with clothes and
books and pocket change and sent him to
| Washington College, at Lexington. Va,
| where. he graduated. Col. Meetings. kind
ness was IN after years amply repaid by
Plumer in every respect except one-he
felt that he could never discharge his debt
of gratitude. He spent about three years
in Lewlsburg fitting himself for college.
In almost every instance the people with
whom he was connected were atnqratefut to
him. This truth can't be concealed-it is
useless to attempt it. His last two con-
considered him too old to serve them. June
3rd. 1880, lin his S0th year, the ingrati-
tude OF his people forced DR.. Plumer to
say. "FOr the fourteenth time in my life
am thrown af1oat to look for a new home
aud new friends" The Lewisburg church
spurned the very idea of such treatment
in the case of DR.. Nc Elhenney, and the ad-
vocacy of such course ruined promi-
nent merchant of Lewisbnrg, and drove
him from the community.
DR.. Plumer married Virgil ia lady, and
left two daughters-Mrs. r. Douglass
Plumer, of Richmond, Va, and Mrs. Kate
P. Bryan, of Allegheny, Pennsylvania.
He loved to come to Lewlsburg, and took
special pains to inquire after his old
schoolmates. He and DR.. John II. Linn
were the only two men who could draw all
the people Of Lewisburg, irrespective Of
denomination, to hear them preach. It
was my privilege to meet him personally
but once. The interview will never be
forgotten.

The proceedings Of the meeting in High

The proceedings Of the meeting in High
land county, as well as the names OF the
gentlemen which appear therein, which
we print in another column, are well
worthy Of note by those who have an I'M
affected desire to know the real thought
of the Democratic mind in the State. You
have heard their names before, Adam
Stephenson, VIM. Hevener, Ambrose Will
son-than whom there have been no more
influential Readjusters in any locality in
Virginia. You may be sure these gentle
men voted for Cameron. They took the
Readjuster side of the debt question to
settle the debt. And that being settled. in
national matters they are again in the
Democratic line.
Is this move but local matter? Well
you may be sure that it will not remain
local. The influence of such men as we
have named, and others whose names will
be found in the official proceedings, is not
confined to neighborho eds. And besides.
they have merely spoken in advance OF
other Democratic Readjusters; they have
given action to thought that widely pre-
walls in the Democratic ranks in Virginia.
In very truth the Democratic Readjusters
OF Virginia have ever been ready to vote
with the National Democracy. They show
ed that in 1880 when they left Gen. Ma.
hone at the tail end of three tickets. No
support given by Arthur to Gen. Malone
can induce Democratic Readjusters to
support him. That is the platform pre-
sented to Democratic Readjusters now
you vote for national representatives,
pledged to support Republican President
and the Republican President will in re-
turn support who?-Virginia2 Oh no, he
will veto bill giving Virginia s400. 900
of appropriations! What then-Virginia 3
interests? Oh no, Arthur's friends in the
Senate will vote down bill to lower the
tax on Virginia's Staple-tobacco. What
then auiN Arthur give in return? Why be
will give Gen. Malone the power to give
an office here and there to some selected
members Of his party. That is the inter-
est of the great State of Virginia which
asks the votes of Democratic Readjusters
in aid of Republican President
On this new issue we expect to see many
more meetings of the same kind with that
in Highland.

Woods Against Paul.
Editors Yindicatsr:

Editors Tindicater:
We want to win in this fight and we
must. More than that, there is no reason
why we shall not. provided, We have the
proper man in the field to oppose Captain
Paul. In my opinion. and am supported
in it by many better judges than myself,
Capt. Micajah Woods, Of Albemarle, IS
the man for the place. lie can not only
poll the entire Democratic strength of his
own county, but he can draw largely from
the Readjuster and Republican ranks
He is known and is strong in other coun-
ties of the District. indeed, wherever
known, he is popular, and have heard no
man suggested, nor do believe there is
one 10 the District who has as many ele-
ments of success in this contest as meet
in Capt. Woods. Even if this were not
80. and there was some gentleman in the
Valley of equal strength, (which do not
concede, because l do not believe it) ought
not the East to have candidate this timer
I think SO, assuredly. The Convention
meets on the 18th inst. Let it see that
Capt. Woods is chosen.
