DIR. o. w. Holmes on Heart Love
II never saw garment too fine for
a man or maid; there never was a
chair too good for a cobbler or a
cooper or king 10 sit in; never a
house too fine TO shelter the human
head. These elements about us-the
glorious sun, the imperial moon-are
not too good for the human race.
Elegance fits man; but do we not
value these tools a little more than
they are worth, and sometimes mort
gage a house for the mahogany we
bring into it? I would rather eat my
dinner off the head of a barrel, or
dress after the fashion of John the
Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on a
block all my life, than consume all
on myself before got home, and
take 80 much pains with the outside
when the inside was as hollow as an
empty nut. Beauty is a great thing;
but beauty of garment, house and
furniture are tawdry ornaments COM
pared with domestic love. All the
elegance in the world will not make
a home; and 1 would give more for a
spoonful of real heart-love than for
whole ship-loads of furniture and all
the gorgeousness all the upholsterers
In the world can gather."-N. Y.

A WORD ABOUT ECONOMY.

Mr.. EDITORIALS economy seems
to be the watchword of the farmers
now, will you kindly tell them about
this piece of economy? A short time
ago the State Attorney General was
assisted by two lawyers, before the
U. S. Supreme Court, in Wilmington,
in a matter of considerable impor-
lance. The fees of these two lawyers
were $4,000 each. At the "Investi-
eating Committee appointed by the
Legislature, two other attorneys
acted as assistants, whose fees we're
$1,000 each. Here are two items of
$4,000 for attorneys to assist the At
torney-G General, and l believe if a close
examination was made it would in the
course of each year foot up a "nice
little sum-" If assistants are absolute
Ly necessary for the Attorney General,
would it not be more economical to
elect one at a stated salary than leave
it open for such VIII olesale imposition
as this would indicate?
A friend to the farmers,
II CHAS. M. SENDERWOOD.
" Wilmington, N. G.
Tour correspondent is incorrect in
at least one statement. When the
Investigating Committee " agreed to
compromise with the Raleigh & Gas.
ton Company in the matter of taxes
due the State, that company not only
paid the taxes due for several years
past, but also paid the attorney fees.
We think his suggestion as to an as
sistant attorney for the State a good
one, Several States have assistants.
Our State Attorney General has not
been able to attend to all the business
and the assistants have cost more than
a regularly appointed attorney would
have cost annually. AS a matter of
economy a regular assistant would be
the proper thing.-EDIToR.

ACTION OF THE JAMES RIVER
DISTRICT ALLIANCE
ON THE Sd.

LYNcHBURG, VA, June 3, 1890.
To the State Board of Education, Rtch-
mond, Va:
GENTLEMEN We as a body OF
Alliance men and representatives OF
the people, assembled in Lynchourg,
do hereby enter our most earnest and
serious protest against any change OF
books from the list named four years
ago by DR.. Buchanan, an able and
experienced educator. We see no
necessity for putting the farmers and
Iaboring people of this Common wealth
to such an extraordinary expense.
We further protest against encourag-
ing a combination calling themselves
the American Book Company, which
is but a trust and the meanest OF all
trusts of which we have any knoWl-
edge or conception. You, as our
representative, are urged and re-
quested to carry out our wishes IN
this most important of all questions,
and, of all, dearest to the liberties OF
a free and intelligent people.
D. JAS. EVANS,
Secretary Farmers Alliance.
MI. w. W. Evans, of Amherst and
Major Arnold, of Bedford were ap-
pointed a committee to 60 to Rich
mond and protest in person against
the proposed change of books.
This Alliance will be known as the
James River District Alliance for the
present and its permanent officers are
the following:
President-N. D. Hawkins, of Bed
ford.
Vice Presidential. C. Joyner, of
Amherst.
Secretary-D. J. Evans, of Camp

Treasurer-Thomas S. West, of Bed

bell.
Door, keeper-C. A. Wright, of
Amherst.
Assistant oor-keeper-R. H. Ran

Steward-T. J. Stratton, of Apo.
mattox.
The committee on the establishment
of a central produce exchange in
Lynchbarg was at work on the scheme
last night and will probably be ready
to report to the Alliance today. This
exchange will be run in the interest
of the Alliance exclusively.
The comm ttee having in charge
the matter securing concessions from
the tobacco commission merchants,
met with no encouragement in that
direction. 1t reported scheme, which
it is thought will be adopted, for
the promotion of a joint stock com-
pany to either rent or build a tobacco
warehouse here to be run somewhat
on the same plan as the Alliance
warehouse in Danville is.
