HARRY RIDDLEBERGER.
Born, 1914 DIED, 1890.

There were in Virginia, at the close oil
the war 1s6l-'65, a minority who did nQt
understand the meaning of the new
banner under which the force of circnm-
stances had marshaled them.
To the paragraph or article. the hand
of this editor impaired an airy graceful
touch which charmed his friends, and
swift strokes which confused and terrified
his opponents.
In casual meetings on the streets and in
the Office with the people, few men knew
so we'll how to ply the arts of the sue
cessfnl politician. He was large, hand
some, symmetrical man.
His intuitive grasp Of policies and
principles was remarkable and he seldom
failed to successfully apply his original
views and studies Of subjects, either when
addressing the jury, the Va. and U. s.
Senates, or the popular assembly.
TIE leaders of men and nations do not
always measure their drink, or weigh their
food, or lay up treasures on earth.
From 1880 to 1890, he was the most IL
lustrlOus reliable American revolutionlst.
He knew that English liberty, in ad-
dition to free thought and free utterance
of thought, means twelve men to ascer
tain the truth of conflicting facts and by
their verdIcts shield the weak.
He welcomed the light which the tele-
graph and printing press flash over the
land.
The education of the common people
in public schools found friend and pro-
moter ia Harry Riddleberger.
Faction, calumny and misrepresentation
are ready to quote backneyed maxims
about greatness.
Is this mans life not rounded In by the
moral systems of his tlmef
Such men not only create laws needed
by their own age: their words and their
example are battle cry taken up By
posterlty in hours of victory and defeat
when moral and political systems are
waiting to be born amid the noise OF in
tellectual conflicts. l.. B.

Political Row in South Carolina

CoLUMBIi, s. c., Oct 3O.-A special to
the Daily Register from Tumninsville,
this state, says: While Edmund II. Deas,
colored, who is running on the republican
ticket for congress from this district, was
addressing a crowd of negroes in the in
terest of the Haskell cause, exception was
taken to his remarks by certain Tillman-
ties, among whom was j. Gully jackson.
Jackson's temper was excited to the point
of belligerency and he drew his knife on
Deas and split his mouth open on one
side, nearly to the ear, and wonld have
killed him but for Colonel II. I. Morris,
who pressed up to make piece. In the
praise worthy endeavor of Colonel Morris,
however, Jackson, who was highly
wrought up, turned upon Colonel Morris
and slashed him severe cut in his left
cheek and slashed him across his
left side, cutting through his clothing and
ripping the skin though not to q serious
depth. Deas bled profusely and it was
believed he would die from the wounds.
jackson was arrested but was released on
500 bail for his appearance before the
town council next Thursday.

The Louisville COarier-Journal treats of
an interesting question os follows; "Tbe
South having demonstrated its ability to
make iron cheaper than any other section
Of the Union, has now to prove that it has
the resources demanded for the manHtact-
ure of steel. The pig-iron of the South
is not suitable for the manufacture of
Bessemer steel. If steel is made in the
Southern States in any large quantity,
it must be done by the basic process, or
by some new method. The visit of the
British and German engineers was i'm
portant, because they represented not only
the knowledge and experience of other
nations, but because millions of capital,
foreign capital, will accept as conclusive
any statement made by such men as Sir
Lowtbian Bell and his associates. The
introduction of foreign capital has work
ed wonders already in the South, and If
those Investments prove profitable more
will follow. There are new cities to be
founded new mines to open; new fur
naces to construct ; new railroads to be
built, before the full effect OF the indus
tries of the New South can be made sp-
parent to every one, and these great I'M
dertakings will require abundant capital,
the greater part Of which must come from
abroad. What these capitalists now ask
is, can steel be made in the South The
conclusion reached by most of the gentle
men who have carefully investigated the
subject IS that 10y the basic process steel
OF high quality can be made in the South
at go q ton ard under. This steel will
be of a higher quality than that made by
the Bessener process, and will command
a higher price"

A Hard Winter Coming.

Horace johnson, of Middle Haddam,
Conn.,, who predicted the great blizzard,
says we are gong to have hard winter.
He bases his prediction on the phenom-
enally large hay crop and the hard, thick
shells of crabs. He finds further yerifi-
cation in the two-story muskrat houses -
Then be examines the corn husks and
finds fleecy sort of wool on the inside.
A friend brought him a squirrel the other
day, and he says the fur is triple extra
thick and very fine. 'Coons are fatter
than usual, and this is sign that they
are preparing for long siege. Mr.. John
son paid a man fifty cents to dig ont a
woodchuck, aud more signs were found
in the bottom Of the burrow. Pumpkin
rinds are of the thickest this fall. He
has not yet had goose's bone itO study
but he is willing to stake his reputation
as the Virgins of Connecticut that 1t VII
endorse all be claims for the winter.

The November Election !
The Democrats Sweep the Country,
and Carry Congress by so
Majority.
VIRGINIA SoLIDLY DEMOCRATIC

The election passed off very quietly in
this place, there being but little interest
manifested on either side, and the degrad-
ed persons who stand around to wait the
highest bidder were sadly disappointed
when they found no one willing to buy
their vote. Reports from the county
show only about half the vote out, OFFER
rail- getting 1409 and Underwood $50, and
few scattering.
Below we give the latest returns from
the elections. They are from the special
correspondent of the Valley Virginidn
and are doubtless as near correct as car
be gotten at this time. They show that
it is the Democrats time for rejoicing, as
they have probably made pretty clean
sweep.

That not one bundredth part of the
natural wealth of Virginia has as yet
been developed is fact that is palpable
to any one who makes a careful examioa-
ton of the resources Of the State, not
only IN the Southwest, but also in every
other division of the Common wealth. In
spite of the progress which is now being
made in the shadow Of the Blue Ridge
and the Alleghanies from Hsrpers Ferry
10 Bristol, it is doubtful whether quar-
ter of century will not elspse before it
can be said that the resources even Of
that extensive region OF country are be-
ing fully utilized, so vast. 30 lnexhsusti-

Operations Suspended.

The sugar mill near MorrisvIlle, Eau
quier county, has suspended. It's pay
roll was 5000 per month, which was a
great help to that community. The sus-
pension grew out of the managers not
having the money to tide oyer the period
necessary to convert the cane into mo-
lasses and sugar. Some important facts
were demonstrated, among them that
more sugar con be made ont OF a given
amount of sorghum grown here than in
Kansas. that after taking this sugar from
Il cane as much grain, almost as valu-
able as corn, was made per acre as could
be grown of any other crop. 1t would
seem that sugar making may be made

Malaria

Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs
arising from low, msrshy land, or from
decaylng vegetable matter, are breathed
into the Lungs, taken up by the blood. and
unless the vital fluid is purified by the
use of good medicine like Hoods Sarsa-
parila, the unfortunate victim is SCOT
oyerpowered. Even in the more advanced
cases, where the terrible fever prevails
this successful medicine has effected re
markable cures. Those who are exposed
to malarial or other pOisons should KEEP

So it appears that while according to
the free-trade theory he paid Sc more
than he should have done for his goods
more than he would if there had been no

he received $40 more tor his oats because
of the tariff. Therefore, he was Just 81

bushels. For the he received $27. The
tariff on oats is 10 cents per bushel, so he
received according to the free-trade

would have done if there had been no
tariff. He bought $27 worth of goods on
which the cost and tariff were as follows
