Staunt0n at the Prohibition State
E0uVeutlQn.

The State Convention of Prohlbitionists
met at Lynchburg Tuesday. About IS
members were present. MI. W. w. Gibbs
of Staunton, was elected Chairman. In
taking the chair Mr.. Gibbs said that when he
reflected chat the men before him had come
here after denunciations and protests they
had encountered, he regarded them as the
refined product of the political crucible. We
propose no longer, he said, to worship in
the temple OF Democracy, OF the temple OF
Repubicanism-if they can be called tenn
pies in their present faded condition. MI.
Gibbs condemned the press for publishing
all the most vicious news, and yet keeping
studiously silent on the work of the Pro-
hibitlonists. A Prohibition organ must be
had, he thought.
The delegates present from Staunton, be-
sides MI. Gibbs, were Maj. J. w. Newton
and Mr.. J. w. Bodley.
The convention adopted the usual Pro-
hibition platform and elected w. w. Gibbs
of Staunton, w. w. Brown Of Richmond,
Col. j. r. Miller of Pulaski, G. II. Grove
of Botetourt, Geo. b. Mason of Craddocks-
vile, and J. V. Perkins of Charlottesville,
as Delegates at large to the National Pro-
hlbition Convention. Among the District
delegates chosen were j. w. Bodily and j.
W. Newton from the 10th district. The
National Convention meets at Cincinnati

Among the Electors, w. 3. Boyd of Bot
etourt, was chosen for the 10th district.
Two colored delegates from Richmond
were in the convention-one is President
of the bank of the colored people there, and
the other was Prof. Vassar.
A State Central Committee was formed
with w. w. Gibbs of Staunton, Chairman,
and P. A. Ross Of Staunton, Secretary.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Exercises in The Christian
Church Friday Night.

The Christian church was crowded
with an appreciative audience Friday
night. the occasion being the celebr-
ton of the discovery of America by
Columbus.
The exercises opened by the pupil 5
of the high school chanting the Lords
prayer in verse after which the whole
audience, led by Rev. J. $. Myers,
repeated the Lords prayer.
A fine musical programme followed
in which chorus from the high school
took part. The chorus from Judas
Maccabees. Lead on and Hail Judea'
was excelIently rendered As were the
spirited singing of "Laus Colombo
and "America."
Miss Marian Lowell read Edna
Dean Proctor's famous poem, ''Ode
to Columbus" in clear tones which
rang through the church and brought
out applause as she repeated the stir
ing address to the stars and stripes.
Prof. Smiths lecture occupied the
greater part of the exercies and wa
listened to intently by all the vast audi
ence. 1t was full of strong thoughts
and eloquent passages. His theme was
Columbus our hero, no perfect man,
but Gods messenger to a darkened
world
The professor discredited many o
the facts concerning Columbus earl,
life. His first voyage was made Will
a spirit of religion but his later one
were governed by greed and avarice
But he who broke through
the bars of darkness. though
weak, is not unworthy of our admira
ton. He knew not what was to fol
low his voyages, but the same divin
power which watched over his littl
fleet. watched over another shi
which brought a band of pilgrims t
the shores who founded the nation W
so love.
The professor closed with an elc
quaint apostrophe to The flag OF "u
country.
