CONFESSED.

That VIII Shut Your Mouth.
Here Is a Confession Over Your Own sigma

lLaDOrte Argus
We have spoken from records and care
fully avoided exsggeration and constantly
kept well within the lines of the most ex-
plicit truth. but notwithstanding this tenn
perate and honorable action, we have been
accused from one end Of the State to the
other of lying and slandering the Republi-
can candidate for Governor. All the
time we have had within easy
reach positive evidence in Major
Calkins' own writing that he owed theschool
fund debt. Owing to the private nature of
the evidence, we determined, however, not
to use it, unless Major Calkins personally
denounced our statements as false and slan-
derous. This we are informed on the most
from the stump in all parts of the State, and
it is for this reason that we publish his own
words TO refute his denial that he owes the
debt to the school fund. The reason the
debt was not paid as requested in the letters
was because no purchaser could be found for
the swamp st the price of 500. The follow
ing is copy of the letters:
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, House,
OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Washington, ID. c., February 20, 1884.
DEAR Will appeal to you to fix up that
school fund matter. No matter how you do
il, please fix it. You know / feel like could
not allow it to hang over me, as a handle
will be made of it in the coming campaign,
and if our positions were reversed 1 would
act promptly for you. Don't ask me how,
but fix it and write me what will have to
pay. 1 leave the whole matter to you.

The SCOTT LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
The Supreme Court of Ohio Tuesday de-
cided the act known as the Scott liquor law
void, on the ground that it was in conflict
with the provisions Of the Ohio constitu-
ton, which declares that stno license to
be granted this State" The same consti-
tutional provision authorized the General
Assembly to provide by law against the
evils resulting frem the liquor traffic. and
the act of 1882, known as the Pond law,
was passed under this authority. The
Pond law required every person engaged
in the liquor traffic to pay specified sum
of money annually and execute bond
| The Supreme Court of Ohio decided the
| Pond law unconstitutional, because it vir-
| tually amounted to license The Scott
law was framed to avoid the legal flaws
found by the court in its predecessor. 1t
provided that there should be an annual
asse ssment of 5000 on the traffic in liquors
where the traffic was general, and 500
| where the traffic was confined to malt and
vinous liquors, and that this assessment
should be a lien upon the property in which
the traffic was carried on. 1t further re-
CURED the dealer to obtain the WI itten con-
sent of the owner Of the property to carry
on the tariflc. The Supreme Court in its
decision Tuesday, re-affirms its decision of
June last that the Scott law, so far as it
provides for a lien on real estate occupied
by tenant who is dealer in liquor, is in
effect license law and unconstitutional.
1t now goes further, and decides that the
act, so far as it provides for an assessment
and tax, is unconstitutional and void The
effect of this decision will be to re open the
liquor question in Ohio politics. The con-
stitutional provision has been found to
work in anything but the interest of pro-
hibition, and legislation having proved in
effectual, the temperance party may per-
haps make the next issue a change in the
constitution that will moro satisfactorily
carry out their visws.

DEATH OF JUDGE LEA.-LeXington sus-
tains loss in the death of Judge James N.
Lea, who died at Wilkesbarre, Pa, on the
Goth of October, at the residence of the
Hon. Charles P. Hunt. He had been in
feeble health for some months and about
six weeks ago went North in search of re-
lief The deceased was one of the fore
most lawyers of IL G New Orleans bar be-
fore the war, and was presiding judge of
the Superior Court Of Louisiana. He re-
manned in the active practice of his profess
sion until the Summer of 1875, when he re-
tired and took up his residence at Lexirg-
ton, Va. He was sixty-nine years of age.
The body was inferred in Baltimore on the
2Sth ult.
Selecting Lexington as his future home,
he purchased ''Col Alto" the former resi-
dence of the late Ex-Governor Mcdowell,
and added largely by his fine taste and lib
eral expenditure to that noted seat, in beau,
tifying its grounds and adornment of the
mansion. He was liberal patron of Wash
ington and Lee University, as the many
noble requests in its libraries will attest

DEATH OF Mrs. SUSAN PEYToN RAN
DoLPH.-Mrs. Susan Peyton Randolph dice
at her home, "Woodside," in Loudour
county, Va, yesterday morning, in the
seventy fourth year of her age. She had
been i'll fer some time, but remarkable
constitution enabled her to bear up under
her sickness until a few days ago, when she
was stricken with paralysis. Most of her
children were with her to the last. Mrs.
Randolph was born in Winchester, Va,
and was the daughter of Colonel Addison
Armistead, who received wounds in the de-
fence of Charleston in the war of 1912, from
which he AFTERWARDS died. She was niece
of Col. George Armistead, of Fort McHen-
ry fame, and of Gen. Walker Armistead, oil
Ben Lomond. Her mother was Miss
Peyton. She was married at an early age
to Col. James lines Randolph, a son OF
Peyton Randolph, of Prince Edward coun-
tys on the James river. She had fourteen
children, ten of whom are now living, and
two of whom-R-ajor lines Randolph and
Miss Sue Randolph-live in Baltimore. She
sent six sons to serve in the Confederate
army, and remained in Richmand herself
during the war with her daughters. Since
the war she has lived in Louioun county,
and was at the head of the Wilton branch
of the Randolph family. Maj. Peyton Ran
dolph, her eldest SOD, lives in Richmond,
Robert Randolph is physician in Chicago,
Wilton Randolph has been in New York,
and Marion Randolph lives in Albany
One of her daughters married DR.. Francis

CAPTIVE OF ABB's VALLEY.-A Taze-
we'll county correspondent of the Lynchburg
Ne'cs writes that journal, under date of %
tober goth, as follows:
"An interesting incident of local history
was the dedication yesterday of memorial
church ON the spot made famous by the
massacre, in 1856, of the Moore family in
Abb's Valley. The new church is on the
original Moore farm and near where James
Moore lies buried
VIM. I. Moore, Esq, who is a grand son
of the first settler and martyr, has, through
his own exertions chiefly, raised the funds
to build the handsome church that was con-
secrated yesterday to the honor of God. and
the memory of His servants who worship-
ped in the groves His first temples"
An immense concour+e of people Witness
ed the solemn rites of dedication, but when
in 1886 the centenary celebration of the
massacre and the rededication of the
church takes place it is expected that many
will attend far from beyond our borders
who have read the history of the sCaptiye
of Abs Valley" and been thrilled by the
tragic events of that remote time.

If the Investigation of industries now

If the Investigation of industries now
going on in the South continues year or
two longer at the present rate there
will be much less need of shipping pig iron
to the northern iron markets at from 81 to
SIS expense. The real prosperity of the
South will come from the growth of small
er industries, and not from supplying
northern markets with raw materials. This
ha', been demonstrated in the success Of
cotton manufacturing .-R0anoke Leader.
Let small industries be encouraged in
every possible manner. Commencing on
small and safe basis, is the really true
plan for our interior sections of Virginia.
The hard woods, in the many forms and
branches of manufacturing they are capa-
BILE of being turned to good account by our
own people, offer superior inducements to
those who are experienced or skilled in
working them up. We can point to several
large establishments in Virginia now,
which had unpretending commandments.
The increased product, and consequently
increasing income and active capital, in
sures genuine and expanding prosperity
One OF the most successful enterprises in
Southwest Virginia, in manufacturing
wagons and turning out plow- handles and
beams, now conducted on large scale,
commenced in very small way. 1t is still
in first hands, and promoting its energetic
owners to deserved prominence in that
rich section of the State. One article
alone, that of handles, brings large
income, the yield being eight hundred
handles per day. The management, too,
has somewhat reversed the order of trade,
as Connecticut largely supplied from that
factory, manufacturers of plows there, tax
ing them by the carload.
The manufacturers of goods from leather
particularly shoes, in the North, are find
ing growing demands for their trade il
Mexico, South America, and the West In
dia Islands, and are turning their attention
more than ever before towards those field
in which new wants are springing up fo
their fabrics.
Staunton is most favorably located t.
conduct thriving enterprises in man,
branches of industry, for which there i
not only large home market, but distan
likewise.
Virginia is sending to-, and has been TO
years, by all the lines of our interior trans
portation, and furnishing the North with i'm
mense quantities of raw material for wag
ons and carriages, which does not make re
turns in general benefits in proportion t.
its real worth. Staunton and August
county are large purchasers of the fabric
into which this raw material is converted
If a balance sheet could be struck it woul,
astonish all who would investigate the sub
feet If the profits derived therefrom wer
to go into the business here, where it cal
be conducted just as well as anywhere else
new elements of prosperity would be S
manifest, that the question of theory Ell
tirely satisfactory to every observer, woul
become one of settled and local practice
bility.
