County Official Paper.
HOME MARKET RESULTS.

Will some member of the Mckinley
party pleose explain how it is that
labore5s in industries benefited by
"protection" usually vote against the
system that, according to Mckinley
logic, provides them with bread and
butter, while the votes that sustain
"protection" come largely from rural
districts in no way benefited, but in
many ways cursed by "protection" to
manufactured articles they have to
buyP
For instance, the large manufactur-
ing cities of New York are Democratic,
while the rural counties are oftener
Republican or have been SO. Admit
ting that protection has built all the
mills that have been erected in New
York for the last thirty years, where
is the farmer benefited by the sup
posed "home market" accompani-
ments? He has lost half the value of
his farm during this time, and often
has had to mortgage the other half
for all its worth. 1t is a remarkable
fact that farm values have declined
most near these home markets. AL
bany, Schenectady and Amsterdam
have double their populations during
the last fifteen years. In this same
time farm values, even within q few
miles Of corporation lines, have de-
clined so per cent. while abandoned
farms are numerous within twenty or
thirty miles from any of these flour-
ishing, protected cities. Surely, if
this sort of "home market" has any
virtues, for the farmer it's good effects
ought to be manifest in such plain
cases as these.
But the truth is that "protection"
has not built the vast majority of
these mills, that it does not provide
any appreciable home market for farm
products and that the benefits from
protection go neither to farmers nor
wage-workers but to manufacturers
and trust corporations. The wage
earners have found this out and refuse
to support system that taxes them
for the benefit Of manufacturers.
That the farmer may yet see and vote
for his own interests is the wish Of all
honest, intelligent citizens.-[E n.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Butcher Sale Arrested on the
Charge OF Insulting a Lady.

w. N. Sale, butcher at the city
market. was arrested Yesterday morning
on warrant sworn out by G. Winter,
charging Sale with making indecent
and improper proposals to Winters wife.
1t seems that about the first of April
Mrs. Winter won't to Bales stall at the
market house to make some purchases.
1t is alleged in the warrant that while
there Sale grossly insulted her by max
ing indecent proposals.
Mrs. Winter left the market house
greatly worried, and that evening was
Frustrated by an attack from which she
never fully recovered till within few
days. She then laid the matter be-
fore her hus band, who threatened to kill
Sale, and seemed determined in his pur-
pose.
Winter laid the matter before his
lawyer, Rush U. Derr, who Immediately
prepared a warrant and the same was
issued by Mayor Evans.
Sale was taken before the chief of
police, who allowed him to go back to
his business and report this evening at
4 o'clock, when the trial will be heard
before Mayor Evans.
Sale said when he was arrested that
he know nothing of the charge what
ever. lie was seen by TIMES re-
porter yesterday evening and said the
charge was utterly false. He remem-
bored that Mrs. Winter came to his
stall on che occasion and he presented
his bill. She disputed the bill and he
told her that if it was not right he
would make her present Of it and give
her clear profit. That is all that he
knew Of Offering her an insult He also
produced certificates from number of
ladies who deal with him stating that
Sale was polite and courteous on all oc-
casions. Capt. berkeley will defend him.

A serious wreck occurred at Postum
Hollow, near Rileysville, on the Wash
ington and Maryland division of the
Norfolk and Western railroad. Sunday
morning at 1880 o'clock. A north bound
freight train while passing over the
trestle at that point was overtaken by
the second section, which, while going
down the heavy grade, got beyond con-
troll of the crew.
The engineer saw that collision was
imminent and he and the fireman
sprang off.
The trestle is 60 feet high and about
40 feet long.
The front train consisted of several
cars of merchandise and cattle. The
owner OF the cattle was riding in tho
cabin car attached to the rear Of tho
train. His name was Stricklef. lie
saw tho impending danger, but could
not escape
The runaway train, unbridlcd and
running at tho rate of forty miles an
hour, dashed into the rear of the front
section.
There was terrific crash. The trestlo
trembled, and then the frail cars topplcd
Oil. The heavy engine went down. 1t
carried GO or 70 feet of the trestle with
1t. In moment the hollow was filled
with wreck and ruin. Twenty cars filed
in the abyss, and wero totally demolish-
ed. The engine which pulled tho sec
ond section was total wreck.
The engineer Of tho front train held
up, and the crews of the two trains
gathered around the scene None OF
them were hurt save receiving few
bruises and getting q general shaking
up.
The stock dealer, Stricklcr, was
found later under the debris crushed to
death.
wrecl1ing train went at once to the
scene and began the work of rebuilding
the trestlc. Passengers were trans
ferred around the hollow in carriages, a
distance of four or five miles.
The work of clearing tho track was
completed last night and trains will be
running to-day as usual.

a VALUABLE PAMPHLET
To be Distributed In the Interest of Wool
Growing In Virginia.


Growing In Virginia.
"Sheep-breeding and Wool. growing in
Virginia" is the title of q neat PAM
phlet which the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company has published, and
yesterday began to distribute generally
In various portions of the State. AS the
title indicates, the book is designed to
promote the wool industry in this section
OF the country, and contains some valu-
able suggestions to farmers and those
engaged or about to engage in raising
sheep
at the instance of Col. Charles G..
Eddy, vlce-president of the Norfolk
and western, the American Wool and
Financial Reporter collected all stats.
tics to be had concerning the present
condition of The wool industry in Vir-
gina. and these. together with num-
OF sheep for wool-growing. constitute
the pamphlets contents. Full chapters
are devoted to the characteristics of
Mer'nos, Shropshires, Leicesters, Ok
iords, Llncolns, Hampshires, and South
downs In their turn. and attention is
then PAID to the claims of Virginia as a
pastural State, with reference to the
climate, soil, and adap,ability to sheep
husbandry.
The opinions of Secretary Rusk, ex-
pressed during his recent visit through
Southwest Virginia, are quoted, and the
comment of the publishers is that from
Hagerstown, Md, to Roanoke, a dis
lance of 239 miles, and from Roanoke to
Bristol, Isl miles further, exists some
OF the finest sheep-raising country in the
United States. The limestone soil and
the climate of the section are particu-
larry held up as necessary qualities
Farmers are advised to start fiocks
by securing few choice ewes or as the
next, best plan, purchase native sheep
from the mountainous sections of West
Virginia, North Carolina or Tennessee.
This course the publishers think would
involve a comparatively small outlay
and give beside a compendium of profit
on sheep-raising amounting to about
I9O per cent. per annum.
In conclusion tho Reporter announces
list of prizes to be competed for by
wool-growcrs of the country and invites
Virginia husbandmen to become inter-
ested in the contest.
