He VIII be Heard From.

Representative Jones. of Virginia,
is member who has made g study
of the silver question as it affects his
constituency, and it will be remem-
bered that several interesting inter
views with him on the subject were
published by'the Dispatch last win
ter. These interviews attracted gen
eral attention in the State. 1t is
safe to predict that when the discus
sions are commenced in the House
during the extra session Mr.. Jones
will be heard from. He is clear
and forcible speaker. and has-made
a record here. that will command the
attention of his fellow-members if
he decides to so into this matter.
The chances are that he will prepare
an elaborate speech. Mr.. Jones has
maintained for some time that it is
rather g peculiar state of affairs that
in the last campaign so much was
heard of reforming, the tariff, but
after the battle was won certain in
terests in the East seemed disposed
to shelve the tariff issue and take up
as the sole issue the repeal of the
Sherman act, and have said not
word about what is best TO put IN
the place of that measure.-Wash.

Hay Sf9 a Ton in France.

Under date of July . the special
correspondent OF the Spirit of the
Times at Paris writes: Every little
rain, torrid heat, the second as well
as the first crop of hay is a perfect
failure; hay at SAP ton and straw at
$26, such is the agricultural balance
sheet for the present in France. I'm
portation becomes necessarv.44>The
French Agricultural Society has just
sent over an address to the farmers
of Canada. inviting them to send over
all the hay and straw they may not
require. assuring them
that not only will they find here q
good market for the same, but that
they will by So doing render a great
service to French breeders. Indeed,
the outlook is so bad that some far
mers predict that before winter time
hay will reach $50 IL ton and straw in

Over Five Thousand Pensions Suspend

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The total
number of pensioners under the act
of June 81. 1890, who have been Motif
ed since the incoming of the present
administration that the payment of
their pensions has been suspended, is
approximately $3.50.
The whole number of pensions
granted under this act is ascertained
to be $40, OGo. OF this number 10000
were to widows, minors and Deepen
dant relatives. leaving 100000 to be
investigated. Up 10 this time about
81 per cent, OF the number being paid
to the soldiers themselves are being
suspended, pendin. the receipt OF
satisfactory proof of inability to per
form manual labor.
If the same ratio is maintained
throughout the entire list about 10
600 will have been suspended 1t is
stated at the pension Office that in
none of these cases is fraud charged,
the suspensions being based upon an
error OF the pension Office in miscon-
STRUNG the law.

O,Ferrali In Battle

A correspondent of the Roanoke
Times writes:
Colonel O'Ferrall was one of the
bravest men ever saw, and as q lead
er of charge had few equals and no
superiors. remember him best as
the leader of the first squadron of the
old Twelfth Cavalry and it was in
that capacity that be won his first
spurs and became famous as leader.
Young, handsome, well mounted and
q superb horseman, he was always a
central and noted. figure. He was
a man Of wonderful magnetism, and
when he placed himself at the head
of his squadron and told them ITO
come on, not to go on, it had to be
well trained body of men and su-
perior numbers that could repel the
charge. The men were devoted to
him and he was at all times approach
able. He looked carefully into their
wants and mingled with them to such
an extent that every man OF them
called him "Trip O. nickname that
has stuck to him from boyhood. His
favorite horse was 'sTom Tough" a
noted thoroughbred, and it was an

His locks are silvered, but will al

with q bullet through his body, raise
himself upon his elbows and wave

A copy of the Hand Book of Virgin
la, prepared by Hon. Thomas White
head, Commissioner of Agriculture,
and published by direction of the
State Board of Agriculture, has been
received at this office. 1t contains
much valuable information of the
climate and mineral wealth of Vir-
ginia, as we'll as its agricultural, edu-
cational and industrial advantages
and gives brief description of every
city and county in the State. The
following extracts are taken from it
in the notice given therein of this
county:
No county of the State has i'm
proved more rapidly than this with
in the last few years. The building
of the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad is quietly but rap
idly and surely working out its desti-
ny, which is to be the vegetable,
fruit, fish and shell-fish supplying
section for the great cities of the
country.
Transportation co III IN u n C ion
with market is by steamboat and
sailing vessels. A fine line of steam.
ers plies regularly between this coun.
ty and Baltimore. In this way the
staple crops, the sweet and Irish po-
tatoes, the onions, peas, cabbaSes
and other vegetables, and tho small
fruits are sent to the markets of Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York,
bringing an annual return TO the
producers of million and a half of
dollars.
The soil OF this section is light
sandy loan, warm and easily TILED:
the sub-soil is red clay. Corn and
oats were long the staple crops of the
passed facilities for marketing small
fruits and vegetables, the Litter in
dustry has come TO be the principal
one. This region is one of the prin-
cipal market gardens for the great
cities of the North The climate is
pleasant and salubrious, the salt air
being waited over the Peninsula
from almost every point of the COM
pass.
Game. especially water fowl, is
plentiful, and all the birds of Tide
water Virginia found in the forest.
fields and swamps are to be found in
Accomac.
Number of public schools: White,
70; colored, 90; total, 101. There are
several fine private schools of high

Commenting upon the statement Of
4 Spotsylvania correspondent, of the
Richmond Times. that in that county
injury might come to the cause of
Col. O'Ferrall should it be true that
he was Catholic, the Norfolk Vir-
ginian says; Col. O'Ferrall is not a
Catholic, but a Presbyterian, in his
religious profession, yet. were he a
Catholic, that fact should be no bar
to his political aspirations. He is a
citizen of this old Commonwealth.
whose people in 1855. under the
leadership of Henry y. Wise, smote
know-nothingisln and religious in
tolerance a death blow in the United
States.

In reply to the petition sent by the
Summer School Of Methods to the
board of visitors of the University of
Virginia asking that the doors of that
institution be thrown open to women.
Hiss Corrinne Harrison has received
q letter stating that the board has
referred the subject to the faculty,
which will report to the board at its
meeting in June 1894. It is under
stood that there is only q small
minority of the professors who do
not seem to consider it wise, and
most of the faculty and board of
visitors are anxious to promote the
higher education of women, but are
deferred from opening the doors by
the very considerable expense atten-
dant on doing so.

AoTIYIlY IN THN SOUTH.

A Marked Increase In tho Number OF New
Manufacturing Establishments.
MaRufaettirtrs' Record,
The industrial record Of the south for
the first three months Of 1893 shows q
very marked revival OF activity in the
establishment Of new industries and
the extension and Improvement OF old
ones. since January l there have been
established in the southern states us
new industrial enterprises, as compar.
ed with 69l during the last quarter Of
1892, an increase OF ninety-seven, or
over 10 per cent. During the third
quarter OF last year the number OF new
enterprises was 66l, 10 that the in
crease in six months has been nearly
2S per cent,
These figures illustrate in a striking
manner the recuperative power OF the
South and tho rapidity with which that
section is regaining tsnormal condition,
The depressing influences OF the past
two years have well nigh disappeared,
and conditions are conducive to growth
in every direction. The growth as
shown by these figures represents sub
stantial progress along those lines OF in
dustry that impart the most stability
and permanency to the South,
The most marked increase has taken
place in the establishment OF industries
dependent upon cotton. Forty new
textile manufacturing companies (chief-
ly cotton) have been organized during
the past three months, ms compared
with twenty in the preceding quarter
Under the stimulus Of high prices for
cottonseed products tho number OF new
cotton.oil mills has increased from ak
during the last three months OF 1892 to
twenty-nine during the past quarter.
The fruit and notwithstanding indus
try also has been undergoing rapid de.
velopment, as indicated by the organi'
2ation OF twenty-six new concerns in
the last three months. Lumber and
woodworking industries, always active
" progressing, also SHOW large in
crease, tho now plants in the last quar-
ter being 2tS in number, against III
for the preceding three months.
Business conditions in the south un-
questionably arc better now than at
any time during the past two years, and
the improvement is particularly notice
able in all industrial lines.

INTERESTING PROOFs.

A Young society lady, after round Of

She writes: "My record is to me, at least,
satisfactory, No headache, constantly IN
crossing appetite, and consequent gain in
weight Of two and half pounds in just one
week"
Six weeks later she writes; "Haye read
and sewed immoderately of late, but my
headaches do not return"
Mrs. John Il. Nliller,o of Valparaiso, Ind,
was attacked three years ago with turn of life
in It's worst form. 1t finally went to her
head. and all indications were that il would
result either in insanity or softening of the
brain. Her husband thus writes; "ltwould
