A wonderful woman.

Physically and mentally, the late
Dowager Grand Duchess OF AIecklen-
burg Schwerin was, in truth, the most
remarkable woman In the century.
Born on February %, 1903, 1t was not
until 1888 that she had any serious ill-
ness. Imagine eighty-flve years of un-
broken health! Her life was idyllic in
its peaceful beauty and goodness It is
true that the late grand duchess had to
endure the loss of her husband and
half a century of widowhood, and that
one by one she mourned tho death Of all
her children, but that is one of natures
penalties for the privilege, if it be one,
of attaining extreme old age. The
tender affection which existed for
SO many years between the grand
duchess and her brother, tho late EN-
pcIor William, was the great happiness
of her long life, and its countless acts
of unassuming bcnevolencc made it q
blessing to herself and others That
there must have been much that was
remarkable about the duchess in her
young days may DO judged by the en-
thnsiastic admiration which the sight
OF her superb figure and lovely face
aroused in the cynical philosopher poet
Ilcinc, who confessed that to gaze upon
"Our AlcXandrina's" pure and serene
features made him feel better man.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Rural Dummy Lines.

huTaI dummy Aiues.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
1t has been suggested by Col. l.. j.
DuPre, we'll known Southern journal
list, that one of tho needs OF tho country
is steam or electric dummy line sys-
tenn connecting the capitals of all the
counties. He intimates that the system
would cost 81, 500 mile, and believes
that it would solve our transportation
problems.
The point is made that when four
dummy lines go out from every county
capital to every other, there will bo
only short country roads leading to the
nearest dummy station, and roai-work
ing will be at an end, because short
roads are always good roads. The
dummy lines will increase the value of
land. Every farmer will be able to get
to market, and his products will crowd
the dummy lines on their way
to the great railroads leading to
the cities and ports.
Colonel DuPre predicts that this sys-
tenn will save the South on cotton alone
from thirty to fifty million dollars a
year in freights.
1t is big project, but we may live to
see it carried out. We have seen what
has been accomplished in the way OF
suburban transportation. Why not OK,
tend the system.

Willy Sir Charles.
From the New York Truth
If Gladstone is the picturesque figure
of the hour in England, 1T is certain that
Dixie is in some sense his rival as far as
attracting public notice is concerned.
1t is impossible to consider the case Of
Dixie without recalling Parnell and
marvellng at the singular attitude of the
British public concerning such trans
gressions as the names of these two men
are associated with. Parnell was driven
into disgrace and literally bounded to
death, though according to all moral
standards his otfense was not half so
rank as Dilkes.
The great Irish leader made every
reparation that man could make, mar
ried the woman whose name had been
associated with his own, and, though
suffering from i'll health brought on by
his devotion to his country went out and
fought with undaunted courage to re-
establish himself before the people, His
course was manly and without parallel
in the history of politics. He never
pleaded for mercy, but he faced the
storm until he drew his last breath
But Dixie was crafty. He had ruined a
frivolous woman and he did not marry
her after his divorce.
The intrigue was not an instance Of
overwhelming love on both sides, as in
the case of Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea, but
was degraded and willful thing-in
every aspect was revolving. Dixie did
not even go on the witness stand and
make the conventional effort to save the
woman's repu tation.- He was wiser than
Parneil. He understood the torgetful-
ness Of the public in these things and
he bided his time. Hence his return to
power and position.

GRAHAM. va.
An Excellent Location For Wholesale
Grocery and Feed Stores.
Special Correspondence of THE TIM,

Urocery anu Feed stores.
Special Correspondence OF TIE TIMES.
Graham, which is located at the juno
ton of the clinoh Valley division with
the Ohio extension OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad. has been styled the
grand distributing point, both for the
Pocahontas Flat Top coalfields and
Clinch Valley coal6elds. The already
large population of the fields will double
within tho next fifteen months.
Wholesale grocery and feed stores, To-
Gated here, can draw the trade of thirty
two coal operations to advantage from
this point on horseback. Over two
thirds of the supplies used by these
mines comes from the West, and it is
not necessary to transport these COM
moditios by this town further east to
any town in order to furnish the best
accommodation for this great popula-
ton. The Norfolk and Western rail E.
road officials have stated that there
shall be no discrimination in freights
against Graham. Lots, eligibly loca ted
for shipping purposes to both fields, are
now offered only too cheap. Ample side
track facilities have already been ar
ranged.
A ) many as four different firms are
now considering the feasibility of locat-
ing their wholesale houses here and the
parties who locate first will reap the
most benefit from this desirable trade
Collections are better in this section
than elsewhere. In fact it is the rule
here to pay all bills each thirty days.
Commerce knows no sentiment.
Therefore il this is the place from
which our people can DO served The best,
then the trade will come to them and it
will come in rush. Our operators need
and desire nearby supplies for their
men and many mules. and will have
them. ''SCREwDRIvER"

THE present session of Congress is
dragging slowly to a close. The Demo.
cratic majority which is responsible for
the conduct of the House is not deriving
much benefit from its closing days.
There is great waste of time and words,
q serious delay in passing necessary
Legislation and as much extravaganza
in appropriations as the famous billion
dollar Congress.

ROANOKE. VA, AUGUST 4. 1892.
A SOLID SOUTH.

The Third party being appropriately
buried in Alabama, has now concluded
to carry Georgia. Georgia is the State
that they are sure of this time. They
have organized the State and have a
string of ifs a yard long upon which
success is predicated.
There should be largo and very
trenchant pin put in at this place, to
emphasize the prediction that every
State in the South will cast it's electoral
vote for Cleveland and Stevenson This
assertion is not made from a partisan
tial survey of the field.
Southern States as we'll as Northern
want to manage their own domestic af.
fairs free from Federal interference.
They know from bitter experience that
Federal interference was only less ex-
pensive than the war itself. Northern
interests, which are now of enormous
Importance in the South, realize that
their investments would be jeopardized
by the same blow which struck South
ern interests. The Force bill is the
main issue in the South. without re-
gard to the grounds on which the battle
is fought elsewhere.
There is another thought which is
coming to the front with us. 1t is not
clothed in rhetoric and is merely the
surface OF o deeper idea. Men are saw
ing: We had under Clevelands admin
stration four years of the greatest pros
perity and development the South has
ever known; Mr.. Harrison's administra-
ton witnessed check in that upward
tide and for two years the South has
been struggling through period of low
prices in two Of her greatest staples,
cotton and iron. Cleveland may not
have caused one and Harrison may not
have caused the other. but the plain
people will couple the facts and vote
accordingly.

The Reotory OF Christ Church,

Rev.J. Cleveland Hall has moved into
the rectory of Christ Church, at 316
Church avenue. After he gets his house
in order he will be glad to NEE. the
members of his congregation and all
Others interested; but, as his time for
the present will be almost entirely
taken up with pressing parcchial work,
he feels it best to name the time when
he will be sure to be at home, which
will be between the hours of 1 and 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, and ordinarily
after o'clock in the evening. The Sc.
lection of this residence for rectory is
by no means permanent one, as it is
possible that more suitable house will
be obtained after awhile, and at a future
period the congregation will build q
rectory of their own.

Blazed the Way.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
Alabama has blazed tho way for the
rest Of the South. The result of the
State election there Monday was a
sweeping victory for the straight Demo
Gratis over the combination of boilers,
Republicans and Third partyites. A
supreme effort was made to break the
solid South, but it proved futile, and
Alabama will stand in November In tho

Her work on Monday should prove an
inspiratio to the Democrats of all the
other Southern States.
