: Number Of Personal Items About the Re-
cent Nectiug-The Slab TO the Memory Of
Elder W6aiherrord.
Correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch
DANvILLE, August II, 1885.
Rev. l.. Z. Spencer, in the Roanoke
Association, presented the report on
State missions, and followed it with a
forcible speech. Rev. F. II. Jones, re-
Gently from North Carolina, alp made
an able and strong speech. A humber
Of short speeches were made about
churches at Shiloh and Pleasant
Grove by Rev. NJ. W. Read,
Rev. II. Petty, Rev. P. II. Fontaine,
Rev. Alexander Eubank, the MEM
bership Of those churches having pass
ed over to Lynch's, and Lynch's, by
deaths and removals, having become a
church that required help.
Rev. DR.. Dickinson closed the discus
sion by taking a collection for the COM
pletion of church-building at Holly
wood. The idea commonly expressed
was that it was good policy to build up
and not neglect L" the waste places"
In 1873 Rev. j. S. Glass, Rev. DR..
Brown, and Mr.. j. S. Hubbard were
appointed committee to have marble
slabs erected over the graves Of Elders
John Weatherford and John jenkins.
Mr.. Hubbard died several years ago.
The slab over the grave of Elder Jen-
kins was erected six years ago. On the
last day Of the session a number of the
members Of the Association attend
ed the erection of the slab over
Elder Weatherlord's grave, which was
superintendent by Rev. Mr.. Glass, and
report was made that the duty of the
committee had been discharged.
Speeches were made on the report by
Rev. DR.. Brown, Mr.. c. L. Sutherln,
Mr.. j. II. Power, and Rev. w. r. l..
Smith. The work Of raising the money
for these slabs was done mostly by the
late Rev. Elias Dodson. On the slab
over Elder Weatherlord is this inscrip-
ton " Elder John WeatherfOrd. de-
voted Baptist minister. Born in 1740;
began to preach in l7Gl; lay in Ches-
terfeld Jail in 1913 five months for
preaching. He moved to Halifax in
1913, and died January %, 1888"
Mr.. Weatherford was born in Char
lotte county.
Mr.. George W. Boyd, one Of the old
est of the Roanoke Association men, is
now in feeble health, suffering at inter-
walls from inability to speak, caused by |
paralysis about the throat and from a
general loss Of strength. But he came
out from his home, near Spring Gar
den, and was generally saluted.

In the neighborhood Of Kentuck
there are about ten wells made by
boring, and Of depth of from twenty
to forty feet. The augers are turned
by lever, to which a horse is hitched:

A negro woman named Bette Ed
mondson was cut in several places very
severely here Saturday night by negro
named William Eggleston because she
refused to fill an engagement to marry
him. One cut was at the throat on the
right side, one on the left, one down
the breast, and two in the back. The
wounds in the back will, the physician
says, prove fatal. The woman had \
child IN her arms, and that was also
wounded. The man escaped.

They Ru,lded Well.

The Virginia Democrats builded well
in their platform. Had we entertained
doubt on that point, such doubt
would have been dissipated by the tone
Of the Virginia Democratic press. Suf-
ficient time has elapsed since the meet
Ing Of the Convention for a thorough
discussion Of the platform by our con-
temporaries, and the verdict is, "well
DONE" 1t isgenerally recognized that no
man of ordinary intelligence can fail to
understand its spirit and its letter tho
roughly. 1t is generally recognized
that there is not q sentence in it that
does not stand for definite idea, and
that no man Of ordinary intelligence
can fail to grasp the issues it sets
forth. And having grasped these
issues, can any Virginian hesitate
as to what constitutes his duty? The
principles for which the platform con-
tends are the principles through which
alone is the road to safety-through
which alone Virginia can hope to estab
lish firmly good government. The fight
is fight of broad principles--s fight of
the people-against WILLIAM Ma
HONE. The Virginia Democrats, as
proved by their platform, are champion
ing the cause of Virginia, and, in one
aspect, the cause of every State in the
Union-are championing the cause Of
the Constitution, and are leading in the
struggle to make the United States
Senate Democratic. The Virginia Re-
publicans are champiOning the cause Of
one man-WILLIAM MALONE. If
there is a question in the mind Of any
one regarding this aforementioned fact
let him read the proceedings of
the Rockingham Republican Conven-
ton, in which body a resolution |
was adopted pledging the nominees for
the Legislature to vote for MALONE for !
senator. AT the very outset Of the
canvass MALONE has shown that the
leading issue with him is his own re-
election. This early in the fight he has
justified our warning that he will make
the assault on the weak counties,
which assault, if successful, will |
place Virginia in line with the
malignants and result in legislation that
will encourage the northern allies of
the Virginia Republicans to attempt to
get another President out Of the bloody |
shirt. We hope that our papers and
cur canvassers will continue 10 bring
the Democratic platform and Ma
HOMES programme to the attention Of |
the people until every voter knows
them by heart. If they will do this
there need be no fear Of the result in
November.

Take II To Heart.

The Baltimore american Republi-
CAM says in an article on Virginia poll
tics:
" The campaign in Virginia is one Of
the centres Of political interest, and
every event which sheds light upon
tho drift Of opinion there is eagerly
scanned"
The AmeriedH's declaration is signi-
ficant, and the Virginia Democrats can
not do better than take it to heart. BY
none will the Virginia canvass be watch
ed with more interest than by the Re-
publicans of the North. The result of
the election in Virginia next fall will
determine in great measure the policy
of the national Republican party to-
wards the South for some years to come.
A MALONE victory and the reelection
Of MALONE 20 She United States Senate
would encourage the national Republi-
can party to make vigorous efforts, not
only to carry Virginia, bat other
southern States, in future elections.
A Democratic victory will have a
most dissouraging effect upon the
northern allies, while at the same time
it will strengthen the hands of the ma
uonal Democratioparty. The American,
we think, sustains the position Of the
Dispatch, that the Eight in Virginia 10 not
merely "a State fight, with nothing at
issue other than State and local ques-
tions." Its language indicates clearly
that its party considers the canvass one
ofnatonalimportance. Letthe Virginia
Democrats profit by the Americaa's
view and look TO the far-reaching re-
suits of the election. Let them re-
member that they are not only fighting |
their own battle, but the. battle of the
national Democratic party. Every
point gained by the Virginia Democrats
will be q point gained by the national
Democratic party, and a point scored,
not only against the Virginia Republi-
cans, but against the national Repub-
lican party.

Chosen.
fCo,respondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch. ]
CHARLOTTESVILLE, August 18th.
At the last meeting Of the Fruit
Growers Association Mr.. Holiday pre-
sided in the absence Of the chairman,
Mr.. Lyman. The following gentlemen
were elected members Of the Associa-
ton: W. L. Heuser, F. II. Syers, +.
Money, William Mann, J. o. II. PEN
dleton, w. X. Campbell, Thomas W.
Elsom, X. II. Fife, j. j. Given. George
Randolph, f. G.. Mead, DIR. Il. II. STRAIT
ton, and the Rev. 7. \. Ware. Messrs.
j. NJ. Blair and John OFT, OF Rich
mond, were elected honorary mem
bers.
The chairman Of the Committee on
Exhibition and Premiums reported that
the committee ought to have more time
to prepare for the proposed exhibition;
and Captain Bryan thereupOn offered
resolution, which was adopted, post
poning the exhibition until 1886.
The Committee on Theft, Of which
Oscar Reierson, Esq, is chairman, re-
ported verbally. No thefts had been
committed, and no demand had been
made upon the committee to prosecute
petty thieves. The committee desired
more particular instruction as to their
duties, and during the discussion Cap
tain Bryan related his experiences on a
plantation in Louisiana, where the plant
ers formed a committee like this and
furnished it money with which to prose-
cute the thieves who stole their fences
and crops.
Mr.. Robertson, chairman of the Com
mittee on New Varieties, made an in
teresting report of a visit to an expert
mental vineyard, where he saw thirty
three new varieties. His observations
led him to believe that Of these the FL
vira and Noah were the best, while he
thought favorably Of the Highland,
Wyoming, and Brighton. The Elvira
and Noah he found free from rot, while
the Brighton was subject to it.
Among the communications was one
from the American Pathological Soci-
ETY., giving notice of the next meeting
of that Society and requesting the at
tendance Of a delegate from the Abe
marie Association. A motion request
ing Mr.. Lyman to attend was unani-
mously adopted.
A detailed account Of Mr.. Lyman's
recent visit to the cities Of New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Cape Charles,
and Newport's News, with a view to
facilitate the shipment OF all kinds Of
fruits to the northern markets, has been
published. Mr.. Lyman had learned
from the commission merchants that the
Climax baskets were the best for the
market, and the still more gratifying
fact that Albemarle fruit is the best
that reaches New York city. Mr.. Ly-
man succeeded in reducing the charges
of the express company, with fair pros
poets Of cheaper rates in the future.
The subject Of srape-rot was dis
cussed, and Mr. Lyman explained the
method Of bagging.
1t was reported to the Association
hat the Midland railroad had promised |
hat rates should be reduced and that
everything should be done to further
he interests Of the fruit-growers of |
his Association. QUIP.

FARMvILLE, August Il, 1885.
To-day was our County Court. and
Mr.. Craig, the Mahone-Radical e1-
internal-rsyenue collector, put in an ap-
pesrance. Though Captain Phil. Nc
Kinney was busily engaged in sending
some Of the rank and file of that party
to the penitentiary, the sight Of this
iugleman Of the Boss aroused his
wonted fire, and the court having taken
recess for two hours, a joint discussion
was arranged.
Craig led Off in speech of half an
hour. Captain Mckinney followed in
an hours speech, and Craig closed with
half hours harangue.
Captain Mckinney we'll redeemed the
promise made in the Convention that
his ardor would know no abatement
and his zeal for the Democracy would
never flag. His excoriation of this sore
head, who boosted that he had fully ac-
counted for all the many thousand
dollars which passed through his
hands, and bitterly complained Of his
removal, was fearful and thoroughly
enjoyed by our people, and the party
may rest assured that no Radical will
show his face within the sweep of Nc
kinney's blade during this canvass
without danger Of losing his head. Our
people are already aroused. and the
discussion Of to-day did much to show
them the Importance and necessity of
being every man at his post, and you

The German papers announce that
the test Of the friendly relations now
existing between England and Germany
will come when England acts upon the
German demands touching the east
African coast. This announcement,
coupled with the rather high-handed
proceeding Of the German admiral who
settled the controversy with the Sultan
Of Zanzibar, would seem to point to
trouble for SALISBURY. 1t justifes
the suspicion that prevails in England
that BISMARCK will take every advan-
tsge Of the AnglO-RusSian complication
to force concessions from England and
push his colonial policy.

BUCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. :
August Is, 1855.

August IS, 1855.
To the Editor Qfh Dispatch:
Ny attention has been called to the
following extract from letter in the
Wing Of the 18th instant from this
county:
1.-The Bourbons will probably nom
mate Dir. McKenns, of New Canton. a
former Plug Ugly Of Baltimore, at least
50 report had it some years ago. lie is
now dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon; has
some money, made out Of the colored
people of this county principally. 1t
makes no difference who will be noni-
mated by the Republicans, he VIII be
elected" Sc.
1t is not necessary for me to say to
my friends in Richmond and Bucking-
ham how untruthful and uncaled-for is
the above attack, and what ignorance
it displays. They VOL know that |
have resided among them since child
hood, having never resided in Balti-
more. ! have never been candidate
for office Of any kind, and never wish
to be. After doing my duty for four
years as Confederate soldier | re-
turned to my home, in Richmond, from
Appomattox Courthouse, with nothing
but my old gray uniform and parole.
Since then, with the help Of kind friends
and close attention to my business.
have been able to support my family
and furnish honest labor to hundreds of
the men, women, and children oc Buck
ingham, who. | know, appreciate what
| have done for them.
The writer Of the article referred to
displays As great ignorance of the status
of his own party as he does of mine
when he slludes to the Republican
nomination yet to be made. The fact
is, his party nominated more than two
months ago Dir. John L. Moss. If the
author resides in this county, he must
know that he has in no way benefited
his party or helped to increase its pres
ent large majority by such an uncalled-
for attack on me.
JOHN 7. McKENNA.
