Hon. ROBERT A. CoGH1LL.-An Amherst
correspondent of the Lynchburg Adcance
thus refers to Mr.. Coghill in connection
with his probable return to the Legislature:
''There is considerable talk in Amherst
regarding Our next representative in the
legislature. The issues involved in the next
election, the unsettled condition of our
State finances, the desperation of the con-
test next fall, call loudly for R. A. Coghill,
of Amherst, who will serve, 1 understand,
If elected. He should be our candidate, in
which event Amherst will have represen-
tative the peer of any man in the State
Yes, and the people who are striving to
take the State safely through all her trou-
bles, knowing his ability and long expert
ence in public affairs, will gladly welcome
him back to the arena of his distinguished
usefulness. II was only because of his
feeble health, that Amherst consented two
years since to allow him to retire from her
service in the Legislature, where, with the
exception of 186667 he was member and
leader in the Senate and House of Dele
gates from 1867 to 1888, having about an
equal member of years occupied seats in
both bodies.

DEATH OF DR.. URIEL TERRELL.-This
venerable patriot died at his late residence
in Orange county, ON the 3rd instant, in the
94th year of his age. He was warm per-
sonal and political friend Of Mr.. Clay and
the only survivor of the last class taught by
DIR. Benjamin Rush. He was member of
the National Wing Convention which nomi-
mated Mr.. Clay for the Presidency in 1914.
He attended all the recent Statec onventiors
of the Democratic party in Virginia, max
ing anaaddress to the one held last year. He
was frequently member of the Legislature
from Orange county, and during his last
service in that body a few years since pro-
cured an appropriation for repairs to the
statue erected to the great statesman which
stands in the capital grounds.

KILLED BY HIS Own Pistol Poca-
hontas, Tazewell county, Va, last Satur-
day, stranger, giving his name as H. H
Reynolds, and claiming to be govern
ment detective, became intoxicated and
committed a breach of the peace. Soon af-
terward he was approached by the town
sergeant, T. B. Brewer, who attempted to
arrest him. Reynolds resisted violently and
drew a revolver, which Sergeant Brewer
succeeded in taking from him. Reynolds
then made desperate attempt to regain
the weapon from the officer. A struggle
took place, during which the pistol was dis
charged, the contents lodging in Reynolds
and killing him almost instantly. A coro-
ner's jury returned verdict of accidental
shooting, generating the sergeant.

for all purposes, Highland can add fifty
thousand acres of finely wooded land for
lumber development, and then the same
land to crop cultivation and pasturage.-
Just think of that Here, in an average
distance of forty-fve miles of this city, Ian
gushing for the want of manufacturing in
dustries, in which wood forms the chief ell
ement for their growth, stands that wonder
full amount of raw material ready for i'm
mediate enterprise, whenever a little mar
rowgauge railroad, costing about $4,000
per mile, will open a way to it. And then
after the forest is cleared away, the products
of which in the meantime will have added
thousands upon thousands of dollars to
the aggregated wealth of this city, will
come the enlarged cereal and grazing fields
more than doubling the grain product, and
capable of exporting 10000 head of cattle,
and the like number of sheep, which, in the
improvement that will go on, will weld
100000 pounds of wool. We say, sincere
ly, this picture of the future is not over
drawn.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Findica-
tor, is doing valiant service in the cause.
When pointing Staunton to Lynchburg as
an example to follow when that city was
in condition that this city is now, it refers
to the liberality with which it stepped for
ward by subscribing 100000 to build the
railroad to Tennessee. 1t was, in trntb,
better than that. 1t gave $500, 900 for that
road. Coming on to later tim!s it gave
$500, 600 for the extension of the Midland
line to Danville, having previous contrib
uted largely for its construction from Char
lottesvile to that city. Lynchbu1g, also,

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Sept ID. d. Ste
phens, William NJ. Baines and William
Wallace, grass commissioners, have sent
in reports. The first reports from the
Panhandle. He fully yindicates and sus-
tains the position taken by THE GAZETTE
over two years ago, viz: That the Pan
handle and Northwest Texas is an agrl-
cultural country and as capable of pro-
ducing grain crops as any section of the
state, and that the lease of lands in large
bodies would greatly retard, II not abso-
lutely prevent, the settlement Of the
country. Speaking of the border
county, the report says 1t
is well watcred and all of It is good agri-
cultural lands and should be so classed.
There are very few settlements, however,
as four cattle companies have all the
country inclosed except a small block In
the northeast and few sections in the
southwest corner. OF the inclosed lands
all but thirty-one sections are leased
Martin county, he says, is beautifully
situated with lands all good for agricul-
ture. There is a prosperous German col
ony in the county which this year raised
splendid crops of wheat, oats and corn.
Other German settlers are DESTROYS of
locating within easy reach of the colony,
but are prevented from doing so by spec
ulators who have managed by hook and
crook to get control of all the available
school lands in the neighborhood. He
reports that the cattlemen generally rem
dered for taxation only about half their
cattle and cites an instance where the
owner of 10000 head listed for tax only
$4,000. In Scurry and the adjoining
counties some four or five thousand head
OF cattle are being grazed on free
grass. One firm in Denison
county is grazing ten thousand
head on free grass, and from the report
there must be some forty or fifty thou
sand head in the county, while the tax
roll for this year shows there are none at
all.
Mr.. Baines reports from Preside
county, and calls attention to numerous
cases where the owners of large herds of
cattle and sheep are using grass free.
He also reports two sections of land sold
by the board as dry grazing land, on
which there are numerous magnificent
grazing springs, furnishing water for
thousands of cattle and sheep, and all
arabic land. The purchaser sold the
land to another party for $4,000 cash.
Altogether the reports indicate that the
land board in dealing with the children's
land is being badly left and the children's
school fund is suffering in consequence.
Mr.. Wallace sent in his report from
East Texas, and says the timbered school
lands are not being molested. lie reports
some of it in Angelina county as being
very fine, having at least 80, 900 feet to the
acre, the general average being about
1000 feet.
The university opened to-day with
about 100 students in attendance.
