A NOTABLE DEFEoTIcN.-Maj. S. P.
Bayly, of Fauquier county, heretofore a
leading Virginia republican, and the candi-
date of his party for Congress in the eighth
district, in 1880, announces his purpose
to support Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for Govern
or. He is quoted by the Washington Post
IS saying he will vote for Lee "because he
likes him, and does not like his opponent"
and further, because he sis against Malone
and his party" Maj. Bayly added: "Gen.
Lee is a good, patriotic citizen of Virginia,
honestly interested in his own State, and
he can be trusted. Besides, he is in accord
with Cleveland's administration, which de-
serves the support of every good American
citizen, for Cleveland is trying hard to deal
fairly with ALL" Maj. Bayly predicts that
the democratic candidate will get more col.
ored votes than ever before since the war.
He says ''the colored people are beginning
to learn chat the Democratic party has no
desire to treat them unfairly, and the re-
publicans will no longer mouopolize the
colored vote

IHE DEMAGOGUEs AND THE Schools
The Leesburg Washingtonian says that,
"a stranger to read the Malone organs, and
hear his speakers, would believe the Demo
Gratis were the persistent and unrelenting
opponents of the school system, although
they put the schools in operation, and have
been their constant upholders and support
ers, at all times, and under all circum-
stances, ever since. When, under the opera
ton of the Funding Bill, there was not suf-
ficient money from our rate of taxation, to
support the schools, Democrat offered the
Henkel Billiard Democrats voted for it,
by which the school funds were kept in the
counties, and applied to the schools. There
has not been a law passed to advance the
interest of this system, that was not sus-
tanned, supported and enacted by Demo-
cratic votes. With this State Democratic
by handsome majoIities at the last two cleo
tions, it is not strange that in a state so
largely Democratic, a system of schools
should improve and strengthen in the con-
fdence of the people, when the Democrats
according to Malone testimony-are Bit
.terly opposed to. it? Surely, the naked
|falsity of these charges are seen by the peo-
ple-their ordinary good sense cannot fail
to discern the wanton demsgoguism which
prompts them, and the meanness of the mo-
tives which would drag the schools in to polit-
les, and destroy their usefulness, in the vain
hope of getting votes. All the true men of
the State, of both parties, are opposed to
this low order of campaigning, and must
denouncc it''

Speaking Monday.

General Lee, as announced, spoke at Lex
ington Monday to a large crowd. He oc-
cupied the stand nearly two hours. He
made a fine impression and warmed his
hearers up to high degree of enthusiasm.
Messrs. Tucker, Anderson, Graham and
DR.. Arnold, one of the candidates for the
House Of Delegates, followed in stirring ap-
peals for the Democracy.
At Charlottesville Judge Staples filed his
appointment in a characteristic spec Oh. 1t
is pronounced one of the grandest efforts
which was ever listened to by an Albemarle
audience-and that is saying great deal.
The grand rally announced to come of
at Wytheville, occurred under the most ia
vorable circumstances. Ayers, Massey and
Daniel were there, and gave the ball-roll-
ing over the Southwest an impetus which
sends it in its course accommodating for tie
final day a sweeping majority in that cleo
ton of the State.
Stuart, of Alexandria, and Whitehead, Of
Lynchburg, spoke to a great turnout of the
people at Rocky Mount, Franklin county,
and Mr.. Beirne, editor of the State aroused
the party in Spottsylvania in one of his best
efforts. So it goes all along the lines. The
skies are bright and Frightening!

A BR1DEeRooM ARRESTED FOR B1eAMY

A BRIDEGROOM ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.
James B. Staples, a freight conductor on
the Virginia Midland Railroad, was mar
ried at Culpeper G. H., last Thursday, to
Miss Rose Colvin, daughter Of Mr.. Frank
Colvin, prominent citizen, and soon after
was arrested upon the charge of bigamy.
1t was claimed by George E. Fortune, of
Amherst county, who arrived there upon
the o'clock train, that Staples had mar
ried his sister some nineteen years ago in
Amherst county, and Fortune swore out a
warrant and had Staples arrested upon the
charge of bigamy about fifteen minutes
after he was married Staples, who had
had his baggage checked and at the depot,
did not attempt to escape. The result of
Fortunes evidence was to place Staples in
jail until Saturday, the magistrate refusing
to bail him.

Democratic Candidates in ROckbridge.

Saturday last, the Democrats of Rock
bridge nominated for the House of Dele
gates DR.. J. W. Arnold and Captain Chas
F. Jordan. The nominating convention
was one of the fullest and most harmonious
which has ever assembled in the county
No other names were presented. DR.. Ar
mold has been an active and influential
Democrat through all the contests of the
party, and is very popular. Capt. Jordan
entered the military serve when quite a
young man, and commanded the Rock
bridge Cavalry, which belonged to the
First Regiment. The wounds he bears in
dictate what manner of man he is. He is a
farmer and iron MASTER and popular with
the people. He carried his district last May
for Supervisor, defeating Col. John A. Glib
son, the incumbent, who had allied himself
with the Republican party. This is pop
ular ticket, and such as "Jim Frazier" can
not defeat by any candidates he may pit
against them, particularly if he be one of
them.
The Democrats of that county are going
to work in the right spirit, and expect to
elect their candidates by majority between
two and three hundred. They are setting
patriotic example which Democrats in all
counties should follow.

HE WILL SPEAK HERE NEXT SAT.
URDAY.

Those who wish to see and hear the next
Governor of Virginia-the gallant and pop
ular Fitz Lee-should not fail to come to
Staunton next Saturday. He is making a
splendid canvass, and his progress through
the State has been continued ovation.
The people turn out in great numbers to
greet him, and such should be the case
especially in this good old country, that
was, through its press, among the first to
recommend his nomination, and that cast
a solid vote for his nomination in the State
Convention, and will cast large majority
in favor Of his election on the 3rd Of No
vember. Some of his friends fear and all
of his enemies hope, that not great ma
ny will be here on Saturday, as many will
be called away from their homes on Thurs
day to attend the county convention, and
many will lose Friday in attending the
circus, but the Democrats should show
that, in spite of these things, they will
come on Saturday to see and hear their
gallant and noble standard-bearer 1t will
be an occasion of unusual interest, and we
can promise them feast of enjoyment.

CATTLE SALEs-The cattle business

past week several lots have been sold.
Mr.. G. W. Hevener sold his lot numbering
122 head, Mr.. John Trimble bunch of 60

gress. Her life extended through and COW
cred the administration of every President
of the United States, she having been born
in Albemarle county in 1899, during
Washington's first administration, and she
had seen all the Presidents down to Grant.
She was personally acquainted with Jeffer-
son, Madison, and Monroe, and spent a
great deal of time during her girlhood and
earlier married life at Monticello, of which
"reminiscences to tell. She was thoroughly
versed in the public affairs, and knew
something of the history, career, and con-
nection of nearly every distinguished per-
son and family of ante-bellum Virginia
Her mental faculties were unimpased up to
the day Of her death, and her memory was
something wonderful. Her children were

VIM. Prince died at his residence in Raleigh
CO., W. Va, last week after protracted i'll
ness, and was buried at Gen. Alfred Beck
ley's burying ground at Wildwood. The
Mountain Herald says:
''Mr. Prince was aman of very high char
acter and exalted worth, as was attested by
the high esteem in which he was held by
the people among whom he lived and was
best known.
He held number of public offices, and
was many times elected to serve his people
in the Legislature of both Virginia and
West Virginia. Indeed his popularity was
so great that he never suffered defeat for any
office within the gift of the people of Raleigh
county''

AS the Winchester Times says, ''now is
the time to put in the effective work which
will tell upon election day. Those that
have not yet registered should be looked af-
ter and urged at once to attend to the mat
ter. Those that have removed should be
noted and their transfers, if necessary, for
warded to them. In fact all the prelimina-
ry work'of the campaign should now be
gotten through with, in order that in the
closing days of the campaign the whole en-
ergies of the party may be devoted to max
ing votes.

JUDGE FORAKER STILL TELLING THE
SAME FALsEHooD.-Those who heard
Judge Foraker's speech IN the Opera
House in this city during the last Presi-
Dental campaign will not fail to remember
the statement he made in reference to the
defalcations of the different administra-
lions from the time of Washington to the
present, in which it was claimed that the
proportion was greater in Washington's
administration than in the corrupt Repub-
lican administrations of the past a years.
He quoted from what is known as the Nc
Pherson- Coon circular, which was thor
oughly exposed as soon as it appeared by
congressman Post in his statement from
books Of the Treasury in which he showed
that the record of defalcations from Wash
ington down to 1861, period of seventy
two years, was only $24, AL 1929, while
from 1861 to 1888 the total loss was $780,
527, 625, or nearly twice as much under
consecutive Republican Administrations as
in al that preceded them.
Notwithstanding this exposure of the
falsity OF the statement made in the Nc
Pherson-C Coon circular, Judge Foraker is
repeating it in his present canvass in Ohio
for Governor. Judge Foraker is good
speaker, but not a truthful one. He de-
serves to be defeated again.

A WISE SUGGESTION TO SAVE LIZ

"A WISE SUGGESTION TO SAVE LIFE.
In view of the facts that druggists some
times give poison through mistake,-as
morphine for quinine, for instance, as was
done in Hoboken, N. j., a,week ago, result
ing in the death of two young ladies,-the
Norfolk Landmark makes the wise sugges-
ton that druggists be required by law to
keep morphine, oxalic acid, arsenic and the
like in triangular bottles or jars. The
moment man lays his hands on such a
vessel he is on his guard. 1t appeals at
once to his sense of sight and his sense of
touch, and hoists the danger signal the
moment he sees or touches it.

A TRAGEDY AT CANONCHET.-A few
weeks ago Mr.. J. F. Weed, of West Virgin
ia, arrived at Canonehet, r. l., on visit to
his sisters, the wives of ex-Gov. William
Sprague and his son, William Sprague, Jr.
He was suffering from dyspepsia, and on
Friday it was found that he had taken an
overdose of morphine. Medical assistance
was summoned, but he died Friday even
ing. His family strenuously deny that it
was case of suicide. Mr.. Weed is said
to have been clever and intelligent young
man, with fine business prospects.

Don't Eat in a Hurry.

A health journal says that people ought
to take three-quarters of an hour for dinner:
This is well if there is enough dinner to
hold out so long. The penalty for hurry
ing meals, as most people do, is greivous
attack of dyspepsia. In such case you
will have to resort to Browns Iron Bitters
for cure, as did Mr.. J.R. Pinkston, Shorter
Depot, Ala. who writes, 81 found relief
in Browns Iron Bitters after years of suffer-
ing from dyspepsia.

Republican Conventions.

The Republican conventions to nominate
candidates for the Senate and House of
Delegates to oppose the Democratic candi-
dates, Jones and Hobbs, will meet at Mill
boro' next Thursday, the 10th. The meet
ings of these conventions have been post
poned several times, and they might as
well be postponed Indefinitely, for Jones
and Hobbs will be elected in spite Of all the
Republicans can do. They had just as well
do like Scott's coon, and come down at once,
without waiting to be shot, for come down
they must, and they might come down more
gracefully if they would do so, before the
fatal shot is fired.
