DEMOCRATIC TICKET
FOR THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
G. W. KOINER,
H. J. WILLIAMS.
Republican Rebellion.
WHOM WILL YOU FOLLOW?

WHOM WILL YOU FOLLON9
Malone is now the official head of one
division of the Republican party in Wiz
ginia and Ex-senator John F. Lewis the
other-the latter made 80 by the action OIL
the Roanoke Convention which made him
the Chairman of the State Committee Of
one hundred, composed Of ten from each
Congressional District. Malone represents
the former organization of the party, and
Lewis the rebellion against it. Those who
rebel and their sympathisers can now ap
preciate the fact that there is patriotism
and not treason in rebellion against thu
exercise of wrongful powers, and may be-
come more charitable in their views o.
those whom they have been in the habit O.
denouncing as rebels for simply wishing tt
withdraw or secede, as they believed they
had the right to do, under the expressed
reservation made by Virginia when sh'
agreed to become member of the union o
States, from the association Of those wit
wrongfully exercised powers in disregard
and in violation of their rights as citizen
of a free country. In the case of the con
federates, it was secession; in that of tn
Republicans, it is rebellion. There is moth
ing wrong in either secession or rebellion
if the circumstances are such as to justif
its exercise.

FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR BROADWAY. -
One day last week Mr.. John Shank, son
of thu Rev. Samuel Shank, who lives near
Cowans Station, was fatally injured by a
runaway team. The particulars, so far IS
we have been able to learn them, are as fol-
lows: Ths young man was seeding wheat
with drill on his fathers farm near Broad
way. Ee stopped to fill up the drill or
make some necessary adjustment, when his
team started to run. Springing forward
Mr.. Shank caught one of the horses, but
was thrown violently to the ground. and
was struck fairly on the chest by one of the
horses hoofs, aud the drill was drawn over
his PROSTATE body. His injuries we're of a
terrib nature, and death ensued in few
hours. The deceased was young man of
high standing in his community, and his
funeral at Zion Mennonite church, near
Cowans, last Friday, was one of the largest
ever seen there. His widow is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. M. ]. Zgler, of Broadway
Rockingham Register.

two days were the guests of the city. They
we're quartered at the Mount Vernon Hotel.
A public reception was given them BY
Mayor Latrobe at the City Hall, and they
occupied prominent seats on the grand
stand erected on the corner of Sharp and
Baltimore streets on the occasion of the
first "Oriole" parade. General Boulapger
was a very prominent figure and attracted
much attention. At the grand ball, which
was given at the Academy of Music in
honor of the French guests, the GoUeral
arrived late, having dined that evening
with large party at the home of ex-
Mayor Hodges, but when he entered the
ballroom bis handsome military appear
ance and splendid uniform made him the
central figure of the fete. He danced al.
most every set, and found no trouble in
getting as partners the fairest of the Balti-
more ladies. all of whom were much
pleased with the gallant French cavalry
officer"
THE WOMAN WHOM DOULANGER LOVED
MORE THAN HE DID HIS WIFE.
Mime. de Bonnemain has been known as
the lady with whom the dead General was
most intimate. She accompanied him to
England after his flight from France, and
early in July last she was dangerously ill in
Brussels, suffering from consumption. A
Paris physician went expressly in order to
treat Mime. de Bonnemain by new system
of treatment, consisting in inoculating the
person affected with the germs of phthisia
with gayacol, which is obtained from
creosote. However, in spite of the efforts
made 10 save her, Nine. de Bonnemain died
during the evening of July II.
Nine. de Bonnemain, at the height oil
General Bouianger's career, two or three
years ago, lived in the Rue de Bercy, Paris,
where she was continually visited by the
General. Spies kept track of their move
| ments and soon discovered that the, two
persons referred to were very intimate
Nine. Boulanger was informed of these
facts, but refused to apply for a DIVORCE
1t was greatly through Nine. de Bonnie
mains favor that General Boulanger wai
able to carry on his political intrigues, fol
Madame had inherited fortune of 81, 500,
600, all of which sum she devoted to The
cause of the then popular leader.
| To such an extent did General Bouangel
carry his infatuation for Nine. de Bonnie
main that when the French government
determined to arrest him he could not b.
persuaded to pose as a martyr before ths
French people by going to Jail, preferrins
to fly with her from France to England
and eventually to Brussels, where they
have both met their death.

The Macadam Road.

MANY kinds Of roads have been con-
structed, but the best for country roads is
the Macadam road properly made. 1t costs
a good deal of money, but in the end, all
things considered, it is the cheapest.
The macsdamized road takes its name
from John Louden Macadam, a sturdy
scotchman born in 1855, who devoted the
later years of his life to the perfection of
roads IN Great Britain.
The New York Journal of Commerce
saws that che travelled at his own expense
throughout the country first to see what
was wanted, then addressed a memorial
to Parliament and induced that body to
adopt his system. After this was done be
supervised the road-making in twenty eight
counties in England, asking no royalty
| whatever on his invention, refusing the
honor of knighthood and accepting no re-
| Enumeration beyond his personal expenses
Six to ten inches of broken stone piled OF
the roadway was the main feature of hl'
system. Granite or fin. was used, th'
pieces not over an inch in diameter. Tit
stones became consolidated by travel ant
the sharp angles prevented them from
rolling. The best thoroughfare is made b!
setting thin stones on their edges to tn
depth of eight or ten inches. Cover thes
with small broken stone (smooth cobble
will not do) two or three inches. Roll thi
until it is compact, and over the who'll
spread an inch or two of coarse gravel
All the repairs needed are little top dress
ing of broken stone and gravel to fill til
ruts worn by heavy traffic and the de
pressed places. The real estate in count
provided with roads of this character W
rise in market value in one year sufiicien
to cover many times the expense. Ther
must be line upon line scattered broadcat
among the people until they realize the i'm
portance of undertaking this good work fo
themselves. The country just now neee
good high ways more than it does addition
, railroads. The former will pay fat div
dsnd while the latter are likely to be il
| solvent"

The Object Of Col. H. C. Parsons and Fol
lowers.

As we have heretofore said, the object OF
Col. 81. G. Parsons and those VINO are act
ing with him in opposition to Malone, is
to secure Blaine delegates from this State
in the next National Republican Conven-
tion, knowing that Malone will send Anti.
Blaine delegates if he can, and in this &C.
ton of Col. Parsons, an intimate personal,
as well as political, friend Of Blaine, who
is no doubt advised OF his wishes and pur-
poses, we discover the strongest evidence
that, if his.health will permit, Blaine will
allow his name to go before the National
Republican Convention for nomination for
the Presidency. if he thinks that there is a
chance of the election of the nominee of
that Convention. It will be remembered
that he said, during the tendency of the
McKinley Bill, that, if that Bill should be
passed, no Republican would care to be
candidate on the Republican ticket. He
may think that the reciprocity feature
adopted at his suggestion may save it from
sufficient odium to give the candidate
chance.
The Petersburg Inder-Appeal takes the
same view we do of the chief purpose of
Parsons and followers. In speaking of the
Roanoke Convention that paper says
s'Though called for the avowed purpose
of repudiating Gen. Mahone's do-nothIng
policy in the coming state election, and in
augurating fight for the next legislature,
the obvious and unmistakable object of the
Roanoke convention is to organize the
elements of opposition to Malone in the re.
publican party of this state preliminary to
the next national republican convention.
Col Parsons and other friends of Mr. Blaine
understand very we'll the impossibility of
republican success in Virginia this fall, and
there is probably no desire for success on
their part if it should mean continuation
of Gen. Mahone's power. The strategy of
the moment is to make show of fight, and
to rely upon that as an argument for their
admittance into the national convention, in
preference to that faction which had
grounded arms in the face of the enemy.
If Mr.. Blaine should conclude to become a
candidate, or even if he should be the War.
wick Of the convention, this would be quite
a potent argument, especially in view of
the undisguised opposition to and repudia-
t;on of Malone By the republican press and
people of the north.
The selection Of delegates in Virginia to
the next national republican convention
promises to be highly interesting, and will
probably determine General Mahone's
political career, if, indeed, that is not al
ready at an end"
