Memorial Day in charIestown.

dead buried at Edge-Hill Cemetery
and elsewhere at Charlestown. The
people flocked rapidly into town from
every direction, and the number ir
attendance was perhaps greater thar
for several years past. AT 3 p M
a procession was formed in front o.
the Courthouse, consisting of Drum
Corps; Citizens Fire Company, under
command of Capt. Russell, with rec
handsomely decorated and members
bearing flowers; Independent Fire
Company, Under command of Lieut.
Stump, with reel and steamer adorned
with floral decorations (steamer drawn
by a handsome pair Of horses) and
members bearing fowers---all under
command of Fire Marshal Hough.-
The procession moved in order to the
Methodist and Episcopal graveyards,
where graves were decorated, and
from there to Edge-Hill Cemetery,
where the following programme was
carried out.
Prayer by Rev. Webster Eichel-
berger.
Singing by Choir.
Reading of Roll Of Honor and Adj
dress by Rev. DR.. A. c. Hopkins.
Singing by Choir.
Benediction by Rev. Webster
Eichelberger.
Floral decoration of graves.
The address of Rev. DIR. Hopkins
(although only an impromptu one,
delivered on account of failure to Sc
cure another expected speaker) was
able and eminentIy-appropriate, and
was listened to with close attention
by those within good hearing dis
lance. The music by the choir, COM
posed of ladies and gentlemen of the
various churches, was we'll rendered
and their services highly appreciated.

have controlled them, there will be quite a
different state of things for the farmers OF
Augusta county, as well as all other grow
ers of wheat.
The discussion now going on in relation
to Strengthening the agricultural interests
giving them proper influence in the ad-
ministration of government, will accom-
plish good. As great and strong as the
country is, the foundation of its power can
not remain firm when combinations seeking
to undermine it are.allowed to grow up and
multiply. This country cannot allow Its
agricultural interests to decay. More
thought on its growth upon progressive
and remunerating basis, rather than to be
considered safely advancing by its own
force, is required. The public mind needs
direction in this matter. The agitation has
been commenced, and the Government will
in time arrive at just sense of it's obliga.
tions to the neglected interests of agricul-
ture. When that is accomplished, the pro.
ducts of the soil will go into the markets as
tbev should-under the rules of fair deal
ing and the controlling influences of de.
mand and supply.

money has been invested in Virginia in the
last six months in railroad extensions and
manufacturing plants than in any year OF
her previous history. With Democratic
President in his seat and Democratic
House of Representatives in Congress. with
but slight prospect Of a change, this has
been done. What comment is that upon
the apprehensions which the Republican
politicians alleged were felt about the DEM
ocratic party coming into power! Through
out the whole South the investment in new
plants of industry in the last two years has
been the wonder of the world. The South
once poor, Frustrated, dead and still, has
become prosperous, erect, alive and active,
lust in proportion that the Democratic par
ty in the South has demonstrated its ability
in those States by wise, honest State govern
ment, to guarantee freedom, safety and
protection. Texas with her 100, 600 Demo
cratic majority and Georgia with her 70, 900
Democratic majority can be pointed to by
every Democrat as the unanswerable first
examples of vigorous, progressive and pros,
porous Commonwealth under Democratic
government. Can the Republican States
Of the Union produce their superior in

THOMAS B. HALL, A WEALTHY FARMER,
KILLED BY PIERCE CRocKETT-HALL' s
DYING -Christiansburg, Va.,
August 2S.-Thomas B. Hall, wealthy
farmer of this county, was shot and almost
instantly killed about 1 o'clock to-day at
Central depot by Pierce Crockett, of Wythe
county. Mr. was the father of David Hall,
who IS IS hS3W in the penitentlhafy, serving
term of eleven years for killing Charles A.
Bowyer. Mr.. Hall, being at Central depot
on business, twas approached by Crockett,
who inquired if that was Tom Hall. Hall
replied, eyes" Crockett then inquired if
he was the father of Dave Hall, and. being
answered afhrmatively, replied. "Then 1
am going to kill you" Crockett at once
drew pistol and fired four shots, three of
which took effect. Hall lived about forty
minutes, and the above is substantially his
dying declaration. Crockett endeavored
to escape by jumping into his buggy and
driving off, but was captured two miles
from Central. The sheriff has now gone
for him. Much indignation is expressed.

In his opening speech in the Maine cam
paign, Mr.. Blaine was quite as demagogic
as usual. After an indirect assault upon
the administration, on purely economic is
sues, Mr.. Blaine touched upon the southern
problem. With the infinitely tender regard
which the northern man always entertains
for the negro at an impossible distance, Mr.
Blaine dwelt also deliberately upon the
southern labor problem. This time he did
not have much to say about the suppression
of the negro vote in the south. On the
contrary he was discreetly quiet upon the
subject. What touched his Blainiac heart
most deeply was the assumed fact that there
are colorsd men in the south who are aftl-
sans and mechanics and are working for
smaller wages than the white northern
mechanic gets. On this postulated theory
Mr.. Blaine warns into the most touching
indignation.
Now this Indignation may be very beauti-
full in the arctic cline of Maine, where the
colored man would not be able to live in the
winter months 1t is quite after Mr.. Blaine's
style, for it is not based upon anything
more worthy of attention-politically or
economically, than mere partizan pre-
judice. 1t is very true that the negro in
Augusta (Ga.) is a mechanic, and does aid
in building cotton factories in that thriving
city. 1t is also very true that he does not
receive as much money per diem as the
white mechanic in New York Or Phi]adel-
phia. Yet the fact remains that an indus
trious negro mechanic in the south, work.
ing upon such wages as are paid him, sable
to provide not only for himself and family.
but is also able to keep bank account. and
to lay aside something for rainy day. If
Mr.. Blaine wants proof of this assertion, we
can point him to authority in this city.
The fact is, that Mr.. Blaine has over
leaped himself. He is politician and, con-
sequently, he has to resort to a politicians
methods. But the business is wholly dis
creditable. Mr.. Blaine is very accomplish
ed man. and just in proportion to his ability
is also the depth of disgraceful partisanism
to which. as the politician, he sometimes
descends. The northern mechanic, who is
member of labor association-a misguid-
ed member, we may say-will possibly be
influenced by Mr.. Blaine's demagogical ap-
peal-because Mr.. Blaine aimed in his OPEN
ing speech to array northern republicans
against the south, and northern labor
associations, as well, on purely socialistie
principles. But Mr.. Blaine reckoned alto
gether without his host or his facts, and his
speech, when reduced to its final analysis,
was simply direct menace against the
southern negro. 1t was not patriotic and it
was purely political and sectional.-Inde1-
