STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

Luther Springer of Hancock, has an
aged horse which has been so infirm that
Mi. Springer hired a man named Bridges
to kill the animal. Bridges started to
lead the horse to the woods, when the
animal attacked and trampled upon him
and so injured him that it is feared that
he may not recover. At last accounts
the horses prospects of living were
much better than Mr.. Bridgess were.

Gardiner against the estate of the late
Peter Broadstreet of that city to secure
to him the payment of an annuity of
$1,000 which he claims is due him. AL
though not in the will he sues for it on
the ground that Peter told the executor
to pay him this sum annually, and it is
said that nurse overheard the talk. 1t
is said by the lawyers that there is a law
which makes such declarations binding
upon the executor of will even if there
is nothing in the will to that effect.

There is only one way to cure Deaf

infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamcd you have a
sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Gov. Jones of Alabama.

Gov. Thos. g. Jones, who was last
week reelected Governor OF Alabama,
is of Virginia descent, his father, the
late Samuel g. Jones, being a citizen
of Virginia.
Gov. Jones was educated at the Va.
Military Institute at Lexington, where
he was student when the war COM
menced.
Soon after the war he made speech
of reconciliation that gave him a ma
tional reputation. He was one of the
best of boys and has made a gallant,
honorable, and useful man.

The Right Sort Of a Man.

When the Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson
the democratic nominee for Vice-Presi
dent, was Assistant Postmaster-Gen
eral under Cleveland, proposition
was made to him for the removal OF
the postoffice at Bloomington, Ill. The
folio wing was his reply
''In reply to your inquiry whether
the removal of the Bloomington post
office at the expiration of the present
lease to Stevenson block is contem-
plated by the department, l answer it
is not. 1nasmuch as number of
gentlemen for whom maintain a high
regard have written me suggesting the
removal, shall be glad to have them
know my views upon the subject
Stevenson block is owned by members
of my own family, which fact, while 1
sustain my present position, wholly ex-
cludes it from consideration as a loca-
ton for a postof1ice. The exercise of
official power to promote the pecuniary
interest of ones self or friends cannot,
in my Judgment, under any possible
be justified"

Close study and observation, he says,

A Large Mortgage deed by Buena Vista
COmDanY

There was entered of record in the
clerks office of Rockbridge county on
Tuesday, a deed of trust or mortgage
from the Buena Vista company to the
Providence Life and Trust company OF
Philadelphia, as trustees, to secure
$3.50, 900 of 6 per cent. gold mortgage
bonds to be issued by the Buena Vista
company. These bonds are to be is
sued in accordance with a resolution
passed at the meeting of the stoekhold-
ers of the Buena Vista in February.
The deed provides that they shall be
secured by the real property of the
company, and in it are cited specifical-
ly the lots and houses of it owned in
the city of Buena Vista, and the min
eral and other lands owned in Rock
bridge county. The deed is quite a
long document and comprises forty-two
printed pages. 1t is a necessary pre-
liminary to the placing of the loan de-
sired. The officers of the Buena Vista
company have been giving the matter
no little attention for some time.
Whether the recordation of the mort
gage signifies that purchasers of the
bonds have been secured we have not
learned. -Rockbridge NeaOS.

Democratic Farmers Will Not BE
Cauebt

Democratic Farmers Will Not BE
Caught.
The farmers of Virginia who have
been voting the Democratic ticket are
liberty-loving, patriotic men.
Few indeed of these farmers intend
to help the Republican party this year
by voting the Third party ticket
Colonel J. D. Brady, of Petersburg,
one of the leading Republican poll
ticians in Virginia, says -
"The strength of the Third party is
derived altogether from the Demo
cratic party, and just in proportion as
they are able to draw from the Demo
Gratis the Republican organization is
strengthened. | should say that the
Republican party had everything to
gain by the Third party movement
We expect to beat you this time, and
with the small margin the Democrats
had in 1888, you must see that we have
more than reasonable show"
Colonel Brady is right in saying that
the Republican party has everything to
gain and nothing to lose by the Third
party movement. But he will miss it
badly in thinking that the Republicans
will carry Virginia. His remarks, how
ever, ought to have the effect of arous-
ing the Democracy in the agricultural
sections of Virginia. The farmer is as
much interested in politics as the city
merchant and the mechanic. He has
just as much at stake. If Virginia
should go Republican the farmer would
be great loser. If Harrison should be
elected next November values in every
part of the South would shrink steadi-
ly. Men of good judgment and bust
ness experience take this view of the
situation
Surely no intelligent farmer will al
low himself to be led off into the Third
party movement, when in SO doing he
would only be helping the Force bill
y.-RichnOnd State.

When such men as Col. Mosby, Gen.
Chalmers, ] ohm S. Wise and many 9th.
ers like them, begin to get sick of Re
publicanisn, or Harrisonism, because
of it's sectionalism and force bill record,
it is hard to understand how the good
old Democratic farmers of Virginia, or
any number of them, can get the con
sent of their minds to aid the Republi-
cans by organizing third party in this
State. Every vote cast for third party
candidates, helps the Republicans to

For the SPECTATOR.
SUMPTUARY LAWS.

During the present campaign there
will be much said about sumptuary
laws. 1t may well be doubted however
whether such laws in any case benefit
the class for whom they are intended,
or rather the class whom the political
demagOgue proclaims they were in
tended to benefit.
1t is doubtful whether the tariff laws
benefit the laboring classes in any in
stance, and more especially may it be
doubted whether in any particular
they benefit the farmer, though their
professed object is to protect labor and
bring a market to the farmer so close
indeed that he must not seek the mar
ket but the market must come to him
Homestead exemptions are of the
same nature, whilst the laws which
constitute the wife the sole owner of
the entire estate in the family, tend
generally to cheat creditors, make dis
honest people, and belittle the husband
and family.
In our State there has been good
, deal of blast and Juror created over
what is known as the" Mechanics Lien
and Supply Law"
This law has been luaded to the skies
by many politicians, as next to holy
writ the greatest blessing that has ever
been given to humanity.
The law or that portion of it, to
which we will refer is found in sec.
2485 of the code of 1887, and amended
in Acts of 1912
The effect of this law is that scarcely
single manufacturing plant in Vir-
ginia can borrow a dollar upon its
buildings, lands or franchises.
This is not because the plants are
| valueless, or badly located, but ON ac-
count of this law which blights bust
ness as simeon.
When manufacturing establish
ment undertakes to borrow money, as
they must do generally, they are met
with positive No.
'Do you think, says the capitalist,
that any body is fool enough to lend
any money to manufacturing plant
in Virginia 2"
| The disappointed applicant admits
that he has been unable to find such q
| fool
| Why is this? 1t is because the labor
er and supply men can in the event the
company becomes indebted to then
hoist the whole concern up and sell il
under lien the law gives them super
ior to the lien of the man who has the
first and only mortgage on the proper
ty. and who lent it the money with
which to start.
1t is easy to see that under such law
no money can be borrowed, hence oul
factories are standing idle and rottine
down. 1t is not hard times, that has
thrown the gloom over our land, fol
there is plenty of money, but this mi
quitous law which, under the pretenct
of protecting the laborer and supply
man, has deprived the former of any
opportunity to work, and the latter Of
an opportunity to sell-has in fact kill
ed the goose that would have laid the
golden egg, by legally drowning the
| fires in every manufacturing industry
in the land which was unable to con
tinue business without borrowing
money. SEX.

No Longer "Herald Of Progress.

The Hercld Of Progress, published at
Shenandoah, Page county, that, a year
ago, was singing peans of praise of
that place as sweetly as an eolian harp,
when the night breathing zephyr
softly signs on the strings" combined
with the stirring notes of a trumpet,
is now croaking with the hoarse voice
of the ominous raven. We never ex-
pected our optemistic friend, the editor
OF that paper, to become SO pessimis-
tic. He that has so often and SO vigor-
ously rebuked crOakers, seems to have
become the chief of that class. The
picture he now draws of the town,
whose bright prospects he has SO often
heretofore painted in brilliant colors,
is dark and doleful in the extreme. 1t
suggests owls and bats, and the dron-
ish flight of the sharded beetle. We
fear our friend is suffering with an at
tack of dyspepsia, and is making the
Herald Of Progress, a herald of stag
nation. He concludes his article with
a faint CLEAN of future hope as fol-
