ports from all the border counties Of

damage done 10 crops by the long spell
of wet weather.
All crops in the low grounds are
drowned out, and upland crops have
suffered greatly.
Tobacco has been injured very seri-
ously. In many fields the continued
wet weather has caused the plants to
rot and break off an inch above the
ground. and it Is no uncommon thing
to see from an eighth TO fourth Of
field lying on the ground from this
cause.
A well posted farmer Informs the
TINES correspondent that the rainy
spell will. in his opinion. curtail the
crop at least One-fOurth. However. If
the rains hold up and August IS a dry
month, the crop will be a very fair one.
Dphtheria among children Is causing
a great deal Of uneasiness 70 parents IN
and around Dlnviile. There are more
than thirty cases IN ard near the city.
and in the Ringgold section the dread d
disease has visited nearly every house
hold. Two deaths have been reported
from that ueighbJrhood.

FLUvANNA. August 5.-The dwelling
of Mr.. Howell Duncan. who lives about
half a mile from the village of Fork
Union in this county, was burned down
last Saturday evening the Sd inst.
When the fire was discovered only some
women and children were at the house.
who were pOwerless TO stay the progress
Of the flames. and when Mr. Duncan
and some Of his neighbors arrived the
fire was hop-lessly beyond control. 50
their whole effort was directed towards
saving the furniture. most of which on
the lower floors was saved. | under
stand there is an insurance of 500 IN
the Virginia Fire and Marine Company
which will be great help, though Il

Republican gold tries 10 rule VI
through the very worst elements OF
our population; through negroes who
are not only bought by Wholesale and
retail for election purposes, but whose
churches are desecrated, and whose
ministers are degraded for political pur-
poses. Republican effort through
out the South has been
hitherto identified with white
slavery to blacks. with tho subjugation
Of the best to the worst. The common
ancestry and common dangers and
hardsniDs and labors in establishing
this great country, a common interest
IN great heritage of the Anglo-SaxOn
race, have all been ignored, while black
and snvenomed malice has deliberately
and persstently. and in the name Of
liberty and religion, striven to degrade
our race, and make as nation OF
half-breeds and heather. Thi.
is no rhetoric. but the
familiar teaching Of Northern pu
pits ard rostra. Thank Haven, theI G
is no more slavery Of any sort here.
Thank Heaven, there can be no more
slavery, to royalty to race. to church.

England; no more worthless negroes 10

And throughout the land sane and un-
biased and patriotic people have but
one thought-the great destiny Of this
great Anglo Saxon country.
The same party that cares for nopoc E
man but the negro voter: that know IS
no religion but Republican rule: al d
that is prepared for any method or in
strumentality that viii win, stands
ready now to misrepresent and falsiiy
and beguie.
We have but one issue: the prtservd-
tion Of white supremacy, and TO keep
the heritage of our fathers.
The tariff is not now the question.
Every section has its own views on that
subject. Hardly any two men are ex-
actly together upon it. We only know
that our mechanics must not be the
slaves Of capitalists; that our people
shall not be taxed from their caps TO
their shoes, from their salt and their
bread and moat to their hymn-books
and ships Of war to fatten Carnegits
and Wanamakers. This is a nation of
freemen. and the land is theirs. Time
enough tocure snobbery and settle with
monopolists. But the issue now is, the
white people Of Virginia shall rule Viz
ginis, not negroes and scalawags and
those who have lost their social posi-
ton by misdoings and bad company.
