RICHMOND, Va, Oct. lin con.
sequence of questions which have
been raised by the presence here OF

views on the subject. After as.
Stunning responsibility in great part

IN selecting oolored man to intro.

says: "In acknowledging Mr.. Far.

We occasionally hear of a man
who says he wants to have nothing
TO do with politics and never con-
Germs himself about elections. Such
a man is one of the most dangerous
enemies the country has. The gov
eminent Of this country is of the
people, by the people and for the
pie. That man who does not care
enough about his government to
assist in securing for it good hon
est and capable officers, is by his
indifference contributing to the
downfall of popular government
Should all honest citizens follow
his example public officers would
be selected by those who could use
them TO feather their own base de.
signs, and the country would soon
go to the dogs. Fortunately this
class is not large, but it is larger
than it ought to be. II is your
duty, reader, to take an interest in
all elections, to help guard the puri.
ty Of the ballot box and 10 assist
the men and measures best calcu-
lated to benefit and honor the PEG.
pie, to obtain supremacy. To do
less is to fail in your duty as a citi-
zen of this great state.

to probate as to personal estate in

Tuesday. IL is written in pencil
upon both sides of small sheet of
soft paper, apparently the fly.leaf

witnesses to the signature. The

and made affidavit that it is in the
handwriting of Mr.. Neal, with
which he was very familiar, and
that he found it in a bureau drawer
in the room in which Mr.. Neal died,
among his private papers. The
will will not pass real property, be-

Brother Bob kissing The Girls.

A special from Trenton, Tenn.
dated Saturday, says: "BObp and
calf" Taylor, both candidates fol-
governor of Tennessee, came from
Union City today on the same
train. They sat fraternally on one
seat. The platform of the depot
was crowded with people anxious
to look at the faces of the distin.
guished brothers. When the train
rolled into Trenton the whole SQUARE
was packed with people. AS the
crowd was largely democratic Bob
was the favorite. He pushed his
way to the platform, and standing
upon a bale of cotton was intro.
duced TO the crowd as the "pride,

racy" in Tennessee. CALF" the re.
publican brother, also addressed a

\ small boy with a match last
Monday compelled the temporary
shutting down of all the mills and
factories in Wheeling and vicinity,
and a consequent enforced idleness
of several thousand men. The boy
discovered leak on the line of the
Wheeling Natural Gas COmpany's
mains, and ignited the escaping
gas with a match. The resulting
small flame gradually melted off
the lead sleeve of the joint. The
pipe broke, and the gas escaping
under heavy pressure formed a
roaring column of flame seventy.
five feet high. The gas was shut
of at the mills, and a large gang of
men put to work on repairs.

to the Presidents Having sent you
several invitations to come to Bun.
combe County, believing you to be
wise and just man, and having found
out that you are neither, all the invita-
tions arc withdrawn" This was not
only cruel on the part of the Colonel,
but it makes 1t uncertain as to where
the President will spend his summer
vacation. AS long as Colonel Atkin-
sons invitation to Buncombe was open,
there was, of course, no doubt about
where the Executive vacation would
be spent but now all is different. The
hasty action Of Colonel Atkinson has,
we think, entirely upset the Presidents
plans for the season.
