@HS hN-Dbl-h HkeICn Ia
The funeral Of the Rev. Telfair Hodg-
son will take place from St. Johns Church
at II o'clock this morning, the change
having been necessitated by the Interrupt
ton Of railroad connections due to the
heavy rains. DR.. Hodgson was born In
Columbia, Va, In 1910. lie received his
early education in Philadelphia, and from
there went to Princeton where he gradu-
ated. At Princeton he met the youngest
daughter Of Mr.. James Potter, whom he
afterwards married in Macon, Ga. He
spent one year at the General Theoogi-
cal Seminary In New York. When the
war broke out he answered the call Of his
native State, entered the Richmond Zou-
aves as a corporal and rose TO the rank
Of major. Subsequently he resigned his
commission and served as chaplain. He
was also a war correspondent OF the Dis
patch.
DR.. Hodgson served parishes In New
port, y. j., Baltimore, and HobOken. at
time filled the Chair OF Logic and Rheto-
rlc in the University of Alabama, and in
1878 went to Sewannee, Tenn, as dean Of
the theological department OF the Univer-
sity of the South. In short time he was
elected vice-chancellor OF the university.
and his administrative ability and tai
ents proved invaluable factors in building
up the institution. Owing to i'll health
he resigned the Nce-chancelorship In
1890 retaining the Office OF dean, but
he had made the way easy for the con-
tinued prosperity Of the university. He

pected back in a few days, and with
him will come fair weather and good
times.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to it's presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs
and being we'll informed, you will noa

No ClOture.

The Republicans in the United States
Senate are opposed TO the bill to repeal
all laws of Congress empowering Federal
officers 10 supervise the elections in the
several States. Therefore, the Republi-
cans in that body will not vote for a clo-
ture rule, even to force through the bill to
repeal the SHERMAN silver law. The Dem
ocrats would use it to get rid of Repubh-
can election laws.
And this being the case, it may at least
DO said that the SsEBMAS silver law will
possibly not be repealed at all during the
current session Of Congress.
This is q new condition Of things at
Washington. We are not certain that 1t
exists. but there are many good reasons
for believing that il does.

have to be appealed TO to stop their diia-

Mr.. Henry l.. Lyman, the representa-,

Thomas Whitehead. Commissioner OF
Agriculture, as follows:
THE apple-growers of our State should
know that there are no apples local to
the Chicago, Indianapolis Cincinnati or
Cleveland markets. and that they are in
great demand in all those places. IL they
will hold good fruit they can get good
prices this fall and winter. What little
fruit there Is up through the entire section
referred to is wormy and generally defec-
tive.
Sweet potatoes are also in great de-
mand In this section and are being quoted
at $500 per barrel 1t would be well for
all growers TO look closely into the re-
quirements of this market"

Civil-Service Reform.

We say 10 the author of the follow
ing communication that our contention Is
that the civil-service reformers advocate
law that will keep IN Office all officials,
good and bad.
We also contend that civil-penslon
list would be the unavoidable outcome
of civil-service reform. Railroad compa-
MES. telegraph companies, ald great busi-
ness concerns all keep in their hands the
right TO dismiss any employee at any time,
and none of them provide pensions for
their employees. Our experience with
MALONE, who kept all his friends In office,
is one of the things that lead US to oppose
civil-service reform. But enough:
ASHLAND, Va, September II, 1s93
To the Editor of The dispatch:
Has not the DISPATCH been misinformed
as TO the objects of the civil-service re-
formersl You say they advocate laws
providing for the retention in office of all
officials, good and BAD!"
The refo!mers wish TO apply to the gov
eminent service the same common-sense
rule that is found to work well by business
men: get good men, and keep them as long
az they do their work well. Does the
DISPATCH turn off its employees every four
years aud appoint others at the request of
influential friends? DO the great railroad
and telegraph companies Do any busl-
ness concerns? If il would be unwise IN
private business, why is it less SO in gov
eminent business
You ask: Does anybody ever hear that
the governments business suffers for want
of competent and trained officials"
When we remember how the post office
service suffered under Mahone's bosship,
and what many of US have to endure now
under the "spoils SYSTEM" the question
sounds ironical.
Will the DISPATCH explain to its readers
why England, that once had the "spoils
SYSTEM" adopted the merit system >"
Will it tell us also which system has
worked the bestl X. L. b.
