Faith, Hone and Courage

Hope awakens courage. He who
can implant courage in the human soul
is the best physician
We have ever been hopeful of the
future of Henderson and have always
so written and talked. Faith in our
selves, confidence in each other, cour-
age of thought and auction and hope in
the future is what we all need to exer-
else. And this sort of spirit we have
endeavored to inspire in others-to
make them look Oh the bright side of
things and encourage them to greater
efforts and more united action in be-
half of the upbuilding of the town and
community. And now it begins to
look as if our hopes Ito see this popu-
lous and prosperous railroad centre and
manufacturing town. are to be realized
in the not distant future.

Rev. DIR. IL. F. Dixon.

The general impression seems to be
that Greensboro Female College has
been fortunate in securing the services
of DR.. Dixon, of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum, as its president. He stands
high and is vigorous and capable man,
and the probability is that he will be
| eminently successful in his new posi-
ton. But what will Oxford do for a
successor to DR.. Dixon? The man
will be hard to find.-Greensboro Work
man.
This is the way it strikes us. DR..
Dixon is fitted as few men are for the
position he now occupies at the head of
this great State charity. We do not
blame him for accepting the presidency
of Greensboro Female College, but we
sincerely regret to lose him from the
Superintendency Of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum.

Advertising means something more
than to sell goods. 1t helps to buy
them also. A New York paper says:
ga wholesale grocer of this city, who
has become rich in the business, says
his rule is that when he sells bill of
goods on credit, to Immediately sub
scribe for the local paper of his debtor.
So long as his customer advertised lib
orally, he rested, but as soon as he
began to contract his advertising space
he took the fact as evidence that there
was trouble ahead and invariably went
for the debtor.' He says: "Thc man
who is too poor to make his business
known is too poor to do business
The withdrawal of an advertisement is
evidence of weakness that business
men are not slow to act upon.

What One Man Wants.
IT, y, r,,;,or o,he D;snntch.

10 fp fNnCT OF UW DtsVustes
I know of no better way for one OF tho
Sovereign people" 10 convey. his wishes
as 10 what he considers some of the needs
of our State IN regard 20 legislation than
TO write an open letter to the Richmond
Dispn'ch. which is read by all the members
of our Senate and House of Delegates.
Not that | would instruct or dictate 10
them, but simply to express the preferences
of one voter as to what will contribute to
the welfare of our beloved State.
|. We need a ballot-reform bill to secure
the purity of the election, as well as TO
give to each citizen the opportunity 10
vote for the man of his choice.
2. We need good road-law, not better
than the present. but a rOad-law positively
good. The present law is humbug, a
burlesoue. farce. II never did make and
keen rood roads Except when John Tyler
was rOad-master). We want no patched
M law. which will answer for the present
emergency. but permanent enactment,
such as some of the other States have had
for a generation, and are satisfied with
their passable roads. We want the road
master elected by each district. with
money collected by taxation to repair the
roads and required to report each year an
itemized bill for all expenses and per deIn
allowance. Such a law, established ana IN
force. so that our farmers Will be 'aOle 10
haul a decent load to market without
damage 10 their horses and Virginia Will
no longer be a by-word as having the mean
est roads in the Union.
8. We want q sheep-protectlon law that
shall tax every dog i'll the State. 80 that
there will not be canine whose owner
shall not consider worth at least fifty cents
a year--a law requiring the assessor TO
make and post three lists of every dog IN
his district, for which he shall receive a
specified fee. This tax-money to be PAD
into the county treasury. and every sheep
that is killed by dogs to be paid for alta
fair valuation, and as a further inducement
to sheep-husbandry every landowner OF
occupant be allowed TO keep ten sheep on
his premises free of tax.
4. | believe the expenses of the farmer
would be reduced and the prosperity OF
the state advanced by requiring the own;
ors of all stock to take care of them, and
not allowing the privilege of the, range, OF
the roads and country. | do not know mat
the proper time for that has yet come but
| feel sure that it is not in the distant iu-
ture. One step has been made in the right
direction. The hog has been declared an
outlaw and not allowed to run at large.
BY what course of reasoning has my neigh
Dor any better right TO turn his horses,
COWS, or sheep loose TO pasture on my
fields OF grass or grain ~ the question
asked by One VOTER.

What the Legislature Ought to Do.

ROCKY ~, AOSo'
To The Editor Of the Dispatch:
notice from the Dispdtcl, that the Legis-
lature is about TO adjourn for want OF busi-
ness. 4 recess is contemplated. Bei0re
adiOurning il is to be wished that the Lee
gislature will act on Mr.. Halls bill to pre-
vent insovent creditors from making
deeds of assignments TO preferred credl-
tors that IT will consider the resumption
of the whipping post and pass other laws
which will tend to expedite economic
criminal prosecutions and avoid foolish
and ridiculous pleas for continuances III
same.
Several months ago six negroes were
arrested and incaTcerated in the Rocky
Mount Jail for burning large portion OF
the town of Rocky Mount Four OF the
negroes have been fairly tried and sem
fenced by the Court to be hanged on the
3lst of the present month. We have Just
heard that the Court of Appeals has grant
ed a stay of proceedings III their cases, and
has set the 18th of July next, at Wythe-
vile, TO decide whether new trial snail
be granted or not. Franklin happens TO oe
in this judicial district. The court is now
sitting III Richmond. A law should be
passed requiring the Court of Appeals TO
act Immediately on all criminal cases, no
matter where il is being held. There Is no
doubt of the full guilt of all these parties,
and a more diabolical, unprovoked crime
was never committed upon helpless
community. These cases have already
cost the Commonwealth about $4,000.
Delays are calculated TO eXaspcrate any
community. especially a community That
has suffered so severely on account OF
fiendish acts. There are several yet I'M
phcated who are to stand trial for the same
offence, and before the final Is reached the
State Will probably be at Il cost OF $4,000.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:


In your THURSDAYS announcement OF the
Typothete banquet one of the set toasts
calls the press 1.-THE Phd-odhs of the nine
teentb century" This seemed TO be mere
ly a hypothetical error, but Its repetition
in this mornings account of the banquet
leads me to suspect that the error. If error
it be, was typographical (made. in the
writing), rather than hypothetical (made
in the setting). and emboldens me to ask a
question.
1t is well known that tho ancient rulers
of Egypt were called Pharaohs. 1t is al

Uorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
OSANcocK, January II. 1890.
A farmhouse belonging to lT. William
s. Horsey. aud occupied by a cOlOred man,
and situated in the northern part of Acco-
mac, was accidentally burned several
nights ago. The occupants were aroused
by the roaring Of the flames and had bare
" time TO escape with their hives. The
house was worth about $500 and was not
insured.
MATRIMONIAL.
There has been considerable activity in
the matrimonial market around here since
Christmas. Among those recently married
are Miss Roberta Pennewcll, of Onancock,
aud Sir. Tankard Kellam, of louisville,
and Miss Mamie Kellam, of Louisville,
and MIR. George b. Hoffman, of Pungo-
league.
POLITICAL.
Tho Republican office-seekers on the
Eastern Shore are carrying on a lively
warfare with one another for the various
untitled Federal offices in these parts.
There are three deputy collectors places
that are the chief bones of contention
among them-one here, one at cape
. Charles, and one on Chincoteague. The
Malone and anti-Mahone factions are each
bent ON capturing these offices. and dele
cations are constantly going 10 Washing
their respective claims before the Republi-
can magnates.
WILL THEY COMPROMISE.
II is the prevailing opinion here that the
President will not make any changes IN
these offices till the warning factions shall
make peace with each other or come 10
some compromise. This they have not
vet done and those who ought to know
say that the prospect of q peaceable solu-
ton of the factional disputes IN the Re
publican party on the Eastern Shore is
very slender.
NOTES.
The United States engineers who recent
~ surveyed Onancock inlet and harbor
have sent in their report to Congress, re-
commencing that an appropriation OF ST.
900 be made for dredging ont the harbor
and improving the channel leading into
Chesapeake bay. =.
During the recent remarkable spell OF
warm weather many persons IN this sec
ton lost all their hog meat
Reports from the various parts OF the
Eastern Shore indicate that an immense
quantity Of wly-slaughtered pork has
been spoiled. Had the warm weather con-
tinued for several weeks longer many per-
sous could have sent strawberries to mar
ket from this county.

there was such pronounced opposition to
