dislIked. On Thursday the two brothers
met and quarrelled. David ttrsatene d
to call again and make 1t hot for the man
who did not like distilers.
Last night Mark. WHO was asleep in the
house OF Mr.. Guest, was awakened and

Weather Orop Bulletin.

CENTRAL OFFICE, LYNcHBURG, VA
May 8, 1893. Daring the past seven
lays, the temperature has averaged
slightly below the normal temperature
for the season. and the nights have gen.
orally been cool. There has been less
than the normal amount Of sunshine.
There has been a decided excess of rain
fall during the past seven days; the rain
fall has averaged abeut three inches for
the entire State, ranging from one and
half to two aud half inches over the
Tidewatcr section, and from three to five
inches to the westward. The greater por-
ton ef this occurred on Wednesday, the
3rd inst, and caused flood waters in all
the rivers and small streams. The low
lands were oveIh0wed in the southern,
central and northorn sections, and this
will nScessitate replOughIng and replant-
ing of corn on the lands thus flooded, and
much of the ground already prepared for
tobacco will have to be refallOwed, and on
this account the setting ont of tobacco
plants will be retarded beyond previous
expectations. In the eastern sections,
where the rainfall was not so excessive,
planting has been retarded but tie ground
has been thoroughly mostened so that the
effect will be entirely beneficial, and
growing crops have been benefited. Re
ports from the following points where the
correspondents have ralngauges will more
clearly show the rainfall during the past
seven days Marion reports 4.l0 inches

Monterey state that N Highland county
the apple crop has been only slightly
damaged, cherries are some what damaged
and that peaches have not been hurt.
The corn crop is generally planted il
the eastern sections and is coming uT
well, and the peanut crop is being rapidly
planted. Warm and comparatively DIR!
weather is now needed and then every
thing can be said to be favorable to th'
agricultural interests.

A Warning to Bachelors.

The following is an inscription copied
from a tombstone On the land of William
II. Harding, deceased, now owned by
Falcon Basye, in WestmOreland conntr,
Va. resident of that county, thinking
it might serve as a warning to young
men, has copied the inscription and sent
it to the Baltimore Sun, from which We
copy:
"Here lies the body of Izltes Anderson,
late of this coanty, Northumberland
who was born on the 9TH day of February
1919, and died the l4th day of August,
1898, aged forty-fOur years, six months
and seven days. He was a worthy and
estimable man, kind neighbor and
faithful friend and good citizen, In Other
relations of life he might lave been
equally praiseworthy, but he died a bach
elOr, having never experienced the COM
fort OF being a husband or father. This
situation he found so cOmfOrtless that IN
his last will he directed this stone to be
placed over his remains with an lnscrip
tion warning all young men from initial
ing an example of celibacy which has
yielded to himself to no other eYentful
fruits but disappointment and remorse

Tzlerites Becoming Active.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Iader appeal says: Those
Richmond democrats who advocate the |
nomination of Major j. Hoge Tyler for
the governorship propose to contest with
the O'Ferrallites every inch of ground in
Richmond. Tyler is developing more
strength in Richmond than was expected.
Col. John d. Purcell, expresidcnt OF the
chamber of commerce, will lead the move
ment here in the interest of the leuten-
ant governor and already he has several
influential lieutenants. 1t is announced
that an organization in behalf of Tyler
will be effected shortly. No one would
now be surprised to see the contest in
Richmond become as interesting as the
one last year between the Cleveland and
Hill men.
The same correspondent, under date of
May 9th, says: That Colonel O'Ferran
will not have a walk-over, all levei-head-
cd politicians now admit. At the same
time his chances appear to be much
better than that of Ty Ter. Bat in looking
at the situation one must remember that
between now and the assembling of the
convention hundreds If not thousands of
office seekers will be turned down and
naturally they will not be enthusiastic
O'Ferrall men, when each one has got it
into his head that the Congressman has
pull with Cleveland. The patronage
business is matter that is no doubt
somewhat embarrassing to the colonel at
this time Men, and politicians especially
are unreasonable, and the disappointed
aspirants will each think he has been
wronged and it will come very handy to
take revenge on O'Ferrall. . The Indcr-
Appeal correspondent is assured that
southwest Virginia will have but one can
didate for the three positions on the state
ticket and that will be Tyler. Two gen.
tlemen who had thought of running for
attorney general have decided not to do
so in order to improve the chances OF the
acknowledgement. attorney, General
Scott wants to be renominated, and il
O'Ferrall heads the ticket he will be ruled
out on geographical grounds. Now will
not Mao Scott and his powerful follow
ing in the slh district use their influence
against O'Ferralli If so, the colonel will
lose many delegates in that district
Besides, there are three candidates for the
supreme bench and two for United States
senator in O'Ferrall's own district, and
for reasons apparent this will not belT
} him. 1t can, therefore, be seen that at
present Tyler has the best position Oh
the board while O'Ferrall has the most
mer. The question is, can Tyler by a
series of lucky moves capture enough Of
the men now against him to via the
game

Much Impure Coffee.

The experts of the Agricultural De.
partment, says Washington special, re-
Gently had their attention turned to the
subject of artificial and adulterated coffee.
A scientific investigation has been made
nuder the direction OF Prof. Il. w.
WILEY. chief chemist of the department,
with astonishing results. Thirty samples
from as many stores. were obtained of
what the dealers declare to he pure coffee.
Of these, % samples, or S63 per cent,
we're adnlterated OF If there is included a
sample containing no coffee at all. this
percentage is increased to 80. In fifteen
SAMPLES the purchaser obtained half or
less than half the coffee he paid for ! be
retail price ot.this bogus C flee was equal to
that asked for the pure article. A sample
purchased from a leading grocer as pure
Rio contained no coffee at all. Another
nurchased as MocLer and Java at %
cents q nonnd was adulterated 10 per
cent. The worst adulteration was shown
in ground coffee. but three samples of
roasted whole coffee purchased by them
proved to be mixed with imitation
coiiees.
Alex. J. Wcdderman, special agent OF
the Department of Agriculture, reports
that the artificial coffee bean is identical
in appearance with the genuine green
or roasted coffee. It is almost impossible
TO detect the frand with the eye. 1t is
nodded by machinery in the same manner
as druggists pills Having little or no
taste or odor, its only mission is to in
crease the bulk and weight OF the gen.
uins article. It was originally of German
manufacture, but has lately been made in
big quantities in New York, Philadelphia
Jersey City and elsewhere. The sale OF
the bean has been tremendous.
