landholders. The history of manufactures
shows that where they take root, the lands
adjacent soon break up into small farms
greater attention Is drawn to the locality,
and where one manufacture succeeds
others will follow.
We trust our friends in Augusta will
appreciate this opportunity for joining in
the effort to make Staunton a manufac-

they will need no information on the SUBJ

A KENTUCKY TRAG Hon. Philip
b. Thompson, Congressman from the Har-
rodsburg (Ky.) district, on Friday last Oh
a railroad train near that city shot and
killed Walter II. Davis, a society man of
Harrodsburg and a cousin of his wife. 1t
seems that Thompson, when quite young,
married girl who inherited a strong pas
sion for drink. but up to his going to
Washington city last December her hus-
band had bsen able to curb it within
bounds. On his way to Washington IN De-
cember he left his wife at the st. Glare
Hotel Cincinnati. with his relative, Miss
Buckner, she occupying the same room
with that lady. Davis came to the hotel,
took her out driving, and bringing her
back in state of lntOxicttiOn carried her
into his own room where he detained her
over an hour. When she came out she was
so drunk that the hotel night Waterman
found her wandering in the hall and took
her to Miss Buckner's room. These dis
graceful facts did not get to the ears of
Thompson until few days ago. He first
met Davis on the cars FRIDAY, and as he
approached to shake hands with him.
Thompson drew pistol. Davis turned and
fed and Thompson shot him dead. When
the cars arrived at HarroGsburg, Thomp
son went to the court, which was in ses-
sion. and surrendered himself. He was
bailed in SIS. 600 to answer. Mr.. Thompson
is native of Harrodsburg. and is 80 years
of age. He is by profession lawyer. He
was elected to the Forty sixth Congress,
and was reelected to the Forty-seventh
Congress as Democrat, receiving IA 49
votes, against II, 1904 votes for FRY, Repub-
lican, Davis was grocer. but had sold
bis stock, and was about to go to Chicago.

A GOOD BEGINNING FOR
STANTON.

Over one-half of the 1000 capital stock
pany has been subscribed by our citizens
withoah solicitation-a most hopeful begin
ming to the new project. Next week, the
gentlemen who have charge of the sub
scriptiOn lists will for the first time carry
them around to our people and they will
also be circulated among our fellow-citi
Gems of the county.
Without question this is the best news
that Stanton, as city, has heard since
the civil war. We have just laid down
paper III which we read with interest OF
the growth of an immense manufacturing
establishment from beginning made
with only four workmen in little shop
making machine tools. 1t now gives en-
ployment to seven hundred men. In the
same paper is the annual report of tw,
cotton mills at Augusta, Ga, that have just
each declared twenty-one per cent divi-
dend for the year. notwithstanding tina
during the year large quantity of the
machinery OF the two mills was bought.

has struck the Southern States. The time
aud the times are opportune.
But we do not desire to see all of the
stock of the new company held in Staun-

OF the county shall not only share IN the
In the credit of the enterprise, but in the
profit; for it will be profitable. On the
subscription list of this journal alone, we
see hundreds of names Of gentlemen in
Augusta who have capital lying idle. We
suppose if we made financial poll of the
list we could pick out men enough and
With means enough to start ten such COM
panies as this new one. with capital stocks
OF $500 each. And yet, not one of these
gentlemen, to Cur knowledge, is share
holder in any manufacturing concern.
This is not the way in that portion of our
country where States have been made
great by their citizens drawing to their
0wn Golfers the. earnings of the people of
other States in exchange for the products
of manufacture. No one supposes that the
little villages of Waynesboro, Pa, Lam

Locks, Ct, Meriden, Ct, and like small
places, that have become noted manufac-
turing centres, ever furnished the whole

Those Democratic newspapers that the
Coalition press can draw into campaign
ing about this time, are unwittingly per-
hitting themselves to be made use of by
the enemy. There is absolutely no public
question at issue in Virginia that can be
settled until next FALL Then the question
will be whether legislature shall be elect
ed that will gerrymander the COMPRESSION
al districts so as to send eight me mbers
from Virginia to oppose the National
Democratic party, and but two to support
it; or whether legislature shall be
chosen which will refuse to do this. This
question will doubtless get its full discus.
sion before the people on the hustings and
in the press at the proper time. There is
but one thing for Democrat to do be
tween now and November, and this is to
see that where his party has made nomina-
tons for county officers, such nominees
receive not only his vote but his active
efforts to secure their election.

If the Spring straws of tile year show
how the Democratic congressional wind
will blow next Winter, we begin to think
we have heard the last of Democratic
mistakes. A very popular idea with all
the prominent Democrats who have lately
given public utterance to their views, is
that no change of the tariff must be made
simr.y as party move. and that in any
event the great interests of the country
must not be disturbed by restless legisla.
ton. If the present tariff bill, adopted by
the last Republican congress, works well
for the interests of all classes, then it
must not be tempered with if it does not,
then gradual changes must be made and
the business Of the country not be disturb
ed by sudden and radical legislation. In
short, the tariff is business question, as
we have long contended that it was, and
must not be made foot ball for politics
Carter Harrison, of Illinois, and in all
probability the next Democratic Governor
of that State, Samuel Randall, of Penn
sylvania, Abraham Hewitt, of New York
W. H. Barnum, Of Connecticut, are not
bad spokesman for the Democratic party
on any subject affecting the business in-
terests of the country.
