" SANCTITIES.

The republicans who support
Blaine lash themselves into Il posi-
tive fury when his record is pro-
dueed "the sanctity of private life
should not be violated" Yet they
all are anxious to tell how fond he is
of each and every member of his
family, and how often he has been
Gin the family pew" during the last
decade
So of Pope's followers. They
glory in his record, but they dislike
to be confined to particulars they
tell themselves how certain things
happened, but they squirm when
other versions from witnesses of the
same fact are given F.!
We hold it true that character is
often best shown by the citation of
incidents and remarks when the
would-be-great man was off the
stage and beyond the glory of the
footlights; that since these are ne
cessary to a clear understanding
of his character, the people are en-
titled TO such knowledge as may be
drawn from truthful discussion in
such important connection, and that
these principles are accepted and
acted upon in every campaign.
Therefore, we are anxious that the
light of history should shine upon
Mr.. Pope's early life, his career in
the West, his methods as a demo
cratic leader in Madison, and his
"deals" with republicans as well as
his votes at Tallahassee which were
seen by all in the fierce light (which
beats upon a throne"

COUNTY POLITICS.

Most of the precincts in Putnam
held primaries on yesterday, and
elected delegates to the county con-
yention, which is called to meet on
the 9th at PaIatka. Upon this con-
vention will devolve the selection of
candidate for the state senate, two
for the lower house, and also the
choice of the county executive com
mittee. Upon the nominations then
made will depend the question of
our success in the county; upon our
victory or defeat in Putnam may de-
pend the political complexion of our
next member for the national
senate.
General Perry's election is almost
certain, but the executive will be
nearly powerIess for good if he is to
be hampered with hostile senate.
The reforms for which we struggle
can only be secured by majority
in the two houses of our legislature,
because if these are opposed to the
governor, he will find himself pow
erful for good only in the negative
weapon of the veto. Let no supine-
ness blast our hopes; let no individ-
ual jealousy distract our thoughts;
let us act together heartily and the
goal of our efforts will be attained.
Haste is dangerous; careful judg-
ment will win.

In accordance with the statute in such casp

" THAT DREW CONFERENCE. y

The News has refused to believe
that any conference was held at Pa
latka on the 1st of July "for the
purpose of urging Mr.. George f.
Drew to become an Independent
candidate provided Hon. Frank
W. Pope would retire IN his favor;;"
or, that any number of respectable
democrats joined in rendering Mr..
Pope the position of U. S. Senator.
The Gainesville Bee cites the
name of Dr. w. r. Dewitt in proof
Of his statement. The gentleman is
not in Putnam at present, but this
will reach his eye, and to him, the
authority preferred by the Bee, we
are perfectly willing to leave the
matter. We make the issue square
ly on our editorial of denial; we hold
there was no such conference in
which the gentlemen indicated by
the Bee assisted we deny that
such democrats, either directly or
indirectly, offered to support Mr..
Pope for the senate, or that Gov.
Drew offered in person or by his
friends to supply the place left va
cant by Pope's withdrawal. And
these questions we are willing to let
DR.. Dewitt decide. And we hope
the Bee is satisfied herewith.
For the editorial in question, there
can be no possibility of misappre-
hension as to facts, as is shown by
this quotation, from the Gainesville
Advocate:
" We are fully prepared to sub
stantiate the above facts, which are
known to us to be just as they are
stated by Brother Harrison. The
whole affair was a sensational moth
ing.'

TAXATION AND MIR. LYLE

We print to-day another letter
from the Hon. G. w. Lyle in reIa-
zion to the county assessment. We
are sincerely grieved that either
gentleman concerned should indulge
in the personalities drawn forth, but
the matter has come upon us so
gradually and the question of verac-
ity has been SO intimately associated
with issues of great Importance to
the people that we were doubtful as
to the point where the halt should
be called. But that point which
leaves such D matter to be discussed
beyond the hearing of the public,
has certainly been reached now.
Mr.. Lyle asserted that some re-
publicans had been taxed too high,
and that this unjust discrimination
was due to party prejudice enter
tanned by democratic board. We
offered to balance his republican in
stances ~ the citation of democrats
who were equally ill-treatod. This
Was tacitly admitted, and the mat
ter was then left to Messrs. Lyle
and Marshall, with the people at
large in the jury box. To them
THE News leaves the decision.

Cotton Mills to Shut Down.

Boston Special.
The cotton goods manufacturers of New
England have begun a spontaneous shut
ting down movement for August and Sep
TENDER which promises to be of large di-
mentions. There are 5000, 900 sDindles
in New England engaged in the manufac-
ture of cotton goods, and the Awkwright
Club some time ago started a movement
for restriction in production, to begin
when three-fourths of the manufacturing
forces should assent to the plan. This
failed, the managers of not more than
$500, 900 spindles agreeing to the plan.
though some mills individually restricted
their output, The situation of late has
been good retail trade, but iobbers are
buying only in piecemeal. There are nu-
merous buyers in the market, but they
are awaiting lower prices or future devel-
opments, while the supply of cotton goods
on hand throughout the country is light
not above two or three months pro-
duction. Within the past two or three
days several mill treasurers and selling
agents resolved on individual shut-downs.
and probably One-half of the cotton mills
of New England will be closed for thirty
days, divided between August and Sep
TENDER. The Amoskeag will not shut
down, for the WOODEN mills, but the out
look is for one of the largest closing
ments ever started in New England. The
selling agents say that it is the heroic
remedy for the present state IF affairs.

Railroads and Farms.

In value the railroads are next to the
farms in the United States. By the cen
sus of 1880, we learn that the value of
farms, farm, machinery and stock, was
81, 104, 0S1 ,440. The appraised value of
all railroads was 81 100000, 900. The gross
value of all farm products for the year 1879
as given by the occupants of farms to the
census takers, was $2,513402, 1858. The
gross income of all the railroads for that
year was $40, 0OO, 900, which is only little
over one-third of the products of the farms.
But the product of the manufactures
exceeds that of all the farms. 1t is S.
1863, $40, 191. The value of the precious
metals mined for the year ending May.
1880, was: Gold, $33, $40. 1858: silver, $751;
lilo, 27-total, 1914, AGO. $40. The mining
value of non-precious metals, coal, iron,
lead, copper, zinc and minor metals, was
$$364,9O9, 1924.
These figures will give the reader some
idea OF the relative Importance of the va
rious industries in the United States.

A Town Sinking into the Earth

Intense excitement was created at Sa-
lineyille, Ohio, Saturday afternoon by the
discovery that large section of the town
was slowly sinking into the earth. For
many years, Salineville has been a great
coal mining centre. The town stands on
an immense hill which is undermined by
several large coal banks. The ground i'm
mediately over Kinks mines was observed
to crack and break in several places and
persons living in that section of the town
were startled to find their yards and houses
sinking into the ground and also discoy-
cred that the wells had no bottoms Many
people moved to safer quarters. There
are no new developments. 1t is feared
the new schoolhouse, a three story struct-
ure, will be destroyed and parents say they
will not allow their children to attend
school. Great anxiety exists.

The Iron Industry in Allegheny
County, Va. 49,
[Alleghany Sentinel. virginia.


Allegheny county is destined to become
the iron centre of Virginia All we need
IS the manufacturing capital, and that will
not be slow IN coming when the advantages
to be found here are fully understood.
LoW-Moor furnace is turning out 800 tons
OF pig metal per week, Longdale furnace
but little less, yet the supply of ore is I'M
diminished. In fact, the further investi-
cation and development go the more
abundant seems to be the supply. I'M
mense quantities of ore are daily being un-
earthed and shipped by mining companies
in the county. The Stack mines have
agents out employing more labor to meet
the demand. The same can be said of the
Allegheny Iron Mountain Mining Com
pany. With the facilities for a Constant
supply the demand for manufacturing
power is urgent. There is nothing lacking
in the way of situation. We should think
that site near the junction of the Iron
Mountain and Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
ways would be most desirable for the
erection OF furnace. The location is ex-
lent In the way of convenience to ore and
to railway lines connecting direct with all
points north and south. There can be no
question of competition while surrounded
with such exhaustless beds of ore. We
hope yet to see these improvements, and
as county organ consider them paramount
to any other question of finance or politics.
and shall use our best efforts for their ulti-
mate contamination.
