Mrs. Annie Smith, the lady who Pc
titioned the Virginia Legislature to allow
women to practice law, Thursday armed
herself with pistol and went to the

Governor Mckinney has appointed
twelve delegates from this State to the
Georgia Road Congress which meets at
Atlanta, October 80. Nearly all of the

stance that delegates were appointed for
this State.
Virginia, at her best, is always easily
in the front rank. The coal used in the
steamship Teutonic in her recent passage
in which she beat the eastward record,
was from the PocahOntas mines, in Taze-
we'll county. Certainly, aud there isl
enough coal in Virginia to run all the
steamers of the world at their highest
rate of speed for an indefinite time. And
protection is opening the mines and bring
ing out the Goals and metals, and starting
manufactures here, there and everywhere
IN the South.-Inder- appeal. Dem.

steals their earnings, it gives them bad
habits, 1t clothes them and their children
in rags, and robs them of their daily
bread. Yes, and at last il robs them of
their souls.
There is decided improvement in the
methods OF the tln-plate liars. Last
Wednesday two of these liars. belonging
respectively to the Democratic and the
Republican parties, met in an interior
town of OHIO, and from words proceeded
TO blows to prove their respective asser-
tions thst tin-plate is or is not made ID
this country. 1t is to be hoped that the
liar who was in sympathy with the Welsh
manufacturers and against the American
product got the worst of it.-Inder- appeal,
Dem.
Mr.. E. T. Broyles having resigned the
Craftsmanship of the Republican County
Committee of Page county, Judge J. q.
Newman has been appointed to that
position. His committee consists OF three
members from each voting precint, max
ing thirty in ell. Judge Newman's ap-
po:ntment, though reluctantly accepted
by him, gives general satisfaction to the
party. He Is conservative and careful,
fslr-minded and just, and we doubt not
will fill the place be takes with credit to
himself and profit to his party.-P0ge
Courier.
Formerly the n plate Ear said tim
plate could not be made in thus country.
Now that it Is actually made, he shifts
his position, and says that il cannot be
made proftsbly. Ten years hence, when
We shall be leading the world in the
cheap and profitable production of tin
plate. he Will find refuge in the absurdity
that the duty on tin-plate imports is de-
stroying our export trade in tin-plate.
This has been the free-traders record on
every attempt to establish new manu-
featuring industry in this country.-IR-
dsr-AppeaI, Dem.
1t was the most natural thing in the
world for Senator Daniel to practically
declare against Cleveland for President.
in bis speech In Stanton last Monday.
Maj. Daniel fayors the unlimited coinage
of fraudulent dollar. Cleveland Is for
o sound dollar worth 100 cents. Maj. |
Daniel is for the spoIls system. pure and
simple and in its full meaning. Cleve-
land 10 in theory, and at heart, for Civil !
Service Reform, and gave evidence, in in
stances, that he was for 1T in practice.
II was more consistent and appropriate
that Maj. Daniel should favor German
Of Maryland, a thorough going spoiis-
man, than that he should want the nom /
ination of Cleveland, upon the old maxim
that "birds Of feather flock together. -
