SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER A. 1892.
A Growing EVIL.

A growing evil OF tho day and one tha,
cannot be too severely rebuked is the
tendency OF young southern romance
aud chsracter-sketch writers to carr.
cature their own people both in
the matter of dialect and in description
Of manners. customs, and sentiment
When we pick up a book by q
southern man In which this tendency
is manifested we are shut up to
the conclusion that cupidity rather than
love of letters has been tho inspiration
There can be but one object in such de.
parture from truth, such prostitution OF
talent, and such sacrifice of pride Of birth
and heritage. aud that is the despicablG
one Of making money by panderlng to q
northern greed for everything that places
the South and southern civilization Ia an
unepviable and false light.
Between the southern ltern,eur who for
o consideration misrepresents the South
and travestios her people and her institu-
tons and the southern politician who for
the sake of Office maligns his section
there is practically no difference. They
are both apostates. They follow parallel
lines and render themselves equally
responsible in respect Of the matter
Of fostering the pern;cious ideas
regarding the South which have
found Judgement in the preiudiced north
ern mind. The perversion through the
medium of novel of the character of our
people and the principles which have
actuated them IN the past and actuate
them nov calls for as severe cOndemna-
tion rs the perversion of historical facts
or the libels of the political traitor.
The South. with her history and her ira
ditions, her present and her memories,
her types OF noble men and beautiful and
refined women, her sufferngs and her
glories. her record of courage and Of for
titude. affords an inspiration for litera-
ture as grand as il would be fascinating
and as prolific as il would be ennobling.
Enyironing southern writers who aspire
TO the field of romance are the materials
for the upbuilding of distinctive south
ern school of literature. ana these writer's
have only to work such materials to-
gether in spirit of truth and
of loyalty 10 their own people In Or
Der 10 force, even from tne GLASS; Ol
northern readers we have referred to, a
recognition OF the beauty of the structure
they are engaged in erecting. just in pro-
portion as southern writers distort their
environment. and in grouping their ma
terials introduce that which is untrue to
the genius of our people and disloyal to
southern methods Of thought and
southern civilization. they not only
mar the symmetry of the edifce but
merit the contempt of the cultivated
classes at home and everywhere else.
The elder DIsRAEIL says, Literature
is an avenue to glory, ever open to
those ingenious men who are deprived OF
shonors or of wealth." and EMERSON de-
clares that "all literature writes the
character of the wise man." But both Of
these authors refer to true literature
the literature that is born of elevated in-
fuences and aims. The literature upon
which we have animadverted opens up
Just the opposite avenue, and writes the
character of men anything but wise.

ADVANCE OPENING
OF NEW FALL
Silks and Vel1ets,
Dress Goods,
Blankets, and
Cony0r7abAss.
Ladies' Ready-Made
Suits and Jackets.

The advance styles have arrived and
will be exhibited tomorrow in the
various departments. Many extreme
changes will be noticed in the new
goods-particularly among the SILKS
and DRESS GOODS. These show
many entirely new designs introduced
this season for the first time. That this
is going to be SILK season is already
established, and every lady must have
at least one silk dress.
In the DRESS GOODS we have
adopted a new plan for this season.
Instead of buying full pieces in fancy
weaves we arranged with the manufac.
turer to give us only one dress length Of
each pattern, thereby leaving no two
patterns alike, and enabling us to show
more than six times the variety. This
gives every purchaser much greater
selection to choose from besides the
satisfaction that no one else has one
like it.

The Trades Parade,

The T:ades Parade committees OF the
Chamber of Commerce and the Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical Society are
working zealously to insure that the parade
with which the coming Exposition will be
opened shall prove great success. And this
1t will prove if our merchants and manu-
facturers, in cooperating with these COM
mittees, display anything like the energy
and enterprise that usually cbaracterizes
their undertakings. 1t will prove asuccess
that will not only benefit vastly the mer-
chants and manufacturers themselves. but
will rebound greatly to the advantage
of the society. The first and only
trades parade ever had IN Rich
mond was most creditable and
attractive affair. but it is not to be
compared With what Richmond could now
do in that direction Taking as @ basis
the increase in the number Of our manu-
factories and the volume of our business
during the past ten years, il is safe to assert
that Richmond 10 prepared TO make this fail
an exhibit in a trades parade that would
not only sstonish visitors to the city.
but be revelation TO many of our own
people. II is to be hoped, therefore.
that thore will be participation in the
parade on the part of every citizen
Of Richmond who controls a bust
ness or mechanical industry that can be
illustrated IN such q demonstration !;
also, that our sister cities will ac-
cept the invitation of the commit
tees and be represented as fully as
possible. 1t is not going too far to say
that if ii becomes known that the parade
will be at all commensurate with what
Richmond and the other Virginia cities
are capable of getting up in the way of
q display OF that sort, it will prove more
potential factor in drawing strangers here
and increasing the receipts of the EIposi-
ton. The after results will be shown in
an increase Of trade for all who contribute
to the denomination.

TAsLEY, VA, September 3.-Alfred Scott
and John Budd, two white men residing
near Onancock, met in q disreputable
house near here last night, and both being
under the influence of liquor became in-
volved in a difficulty. Scott drew pistol
and shot Budd in the hip. the ball striking
the hip-joint and glancing around to the
back, where it Embedded itself IN the
flesh. Budd was carried home by his
friends and the ball was extracted this
morning by DIR. Leatherbury, who pro
nounces the wound dangerous, but not
likely to prove fatal. Both men are
farmers, Budd being about 80 years old
and unmarried, while Scott is a middle
aged man with a wife and large family of
children. A warrant is out for the arrest
of Scott, who has not been seen since the

PEOPLE ARE NOT CAPABLE

of selecting these commissioners?
Why, they selected the governor him
self, the man who under this law is to
sit clothed with arbitrary and irres-
ponsible power charged with the APP
pointment and removal Of the COM
missioners. For many years they have
selected the judges Of your highest
court, and who can say they
have made mistakes in this Sc
lection? This was popular
movements it was u response to the
cry of the people for relief; ii came
from the people themselves in re-
sponse to their demands uttered in
Overwhelming tones. How appropri'
ate it was then, that the people them
selves having demanded this agency,
should at least have voice in its Sc.
lection. And how peculiarly appro-
pirate it would have been TO have de-
volved upon the people themselves
the responsibilities, and all the re-
sponsibilities Of the law. And yet,
thew were deuied this poor privilege
by the will of the executive when they
we're clamoring for the right to elect
by direct vote their United States
senators, anu even Olo PlCoi"SHO VI
the United States. The time has come
when they intend to assert this right.
The day for beseeching the executive
for the privilege of exercising this con-
stitutional right has passed. He and
his friends were implored to give the
right to the people, and it was refused
It was conceded to him aud to his
friends that he should have the right
to name the first commission who
should hold the Office for two years
and the demand came in response that
he should have this right for foul
wears, and after that it should be made
elective, upon the assumption, sup
pose, that after the retirement Of hi

Whenever the general public fully be-
1ieves that every race will be decided on
its merits, that no Seeone-Tate horse will
be allowed to defeat horse Of the first
class, that no heats will be dropped for
paw, and that all bets would be made with
the layers expecting TO win and not try

grand stands will be filled to overflow

lege, season to begin Feb. II and end

Robert McGregor is forcing himself
TO the front through his get. He is
twenty years old, but most of his life
was spent in training and racing. 1t
was Just eight years ago last October
that he made his record of 2:1715 over
the uneven track at Fort Worth, Tex.
and the rapidity with which his get are
now entering the list at an early age
speaks volumes for his prepotency,
while his purity of gait is demonstrated
by the fact that no PAGERS are in it.
The United States supreme court has
recently rendered decision that will
be of interest to all drivers and owners.
The case referred to is one in which a
driver of one horse sued driver of an
other for damages caused by being
fouled by the former. The amount of
damages allowed was some $1,000 or
$4,000. By this it would seem that
where the trotting associations do not
protect the honest man, the courts will.
The speed-imparting power quality OF
the great brood mare Alma Mater is
demonstrated by the fact that three of
her sons, during the season just closed,
were credited with performers taking
records below 2:14. namely, Aloantab,
sire of Nightingale, 2:13M; Alcyone.
sire of Kinney. 2:1211z; Allandorf, sire of
Strong Boy, 2:I2. Two of the three are
four-year-olds.

Don't Attempt to Outwit a Clever
Newspaper Man = Be Candid
With Him.
Don't tell newspaper reporter, when
he calls on you on business, things
which you do not wish him to print. lie
does not call for information for the fun
of it, says the Portland Oregonian. He
is there on business. When you meet
a reporter socially. don't say to him
every time you 0peu your mouth, This
is not for publication"
If you really have information to give,
either give 1t cheerfully and frankly or
refuse with frankneSS. but don't try to
be clever and attempt any funny bust
ness" If you give the information
frankly you will. i'll ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred, be accurately re-
ported and respectfully treated. Ii you
refuse firmly and politely your reti-
cence will be respected. if you try to
outwit the reporter by an effort to mis-
lead him or by direct Misrepresentation
you are sure to make a mess of it and
wish that you had been better advised.
DisabuSe your mind of any foolish
impression that the newspaper reporters
are malignant persons, trying to stir p
trouble in the world. They are. as a
rule, the opposite OF this, and have as
high an idea as other men of the rela :
tive advantages of contentment and
strife
