Yosfs Ucekly, published at Stanton
tells of an old bill, dated February, 1917,
which has Just come under It's observation
and which is a reminder of the good
old tines that we have all heard so much
about. The bill is from Patrick Murray
TO Jacob Order, for "kaling" II barrels
of -four from Mt Meridian to Richmond,
at 1G shiilings and six pence per barrel
or about $3.50 for freight alone. Tie
same grade of flour, remarks the Ueokly,
can now be purchased tor 50 90 and the
barrel when emptied, will bring 20 cents,
making the net C Dst Of the -four the same
as the cost of Transporting it from Mt.
Meridian to Richmond in those days.
Railroads have cheapened transportation
10 such an extent that the figures do not
admit Of comparison, and yet there are
people who think it the height of wisdom
to be continually "f citing the railroads.
and there are political parties that act mp
on tRe same principle. Unquestionaby,
railroads should not b. permitted to be
unjust OF oppressive in their management,
but that they aie indispensable to the
grow til aud prosperity of the country
there cannot be the shIdow OF doubt,
and they should always be encouraged, IN
DER proper restrictions. The community
that is cut eff from railroad facilities is
fifty years behind the times.

Major Mann Page is jubilantly reported
by tGe Democratic press as positively
declining the use of his name as candi
date for Governor on the Populist ticket.
What Mai r Page did say was that as
long as be was President Of the Farmers
Alliance, a non-pGctisan organization, be
should under no circumstances be a car
didate for any political Office. Every
one must agree as to the soundness of the
Majors views, but his term of Office as
President of the State Alliance ends in
August, AMI it will then be time enough
to see whether he will not be the Popu-
list candidate for Governor.
In this connection it is proper to re-
mind the public of the difference between
the Popul,st and Democratic parties in
the matter of offices. With us it is
fundamental principle that the Office
shall seek the man. With them it is
fundamental principle that the man shall
seek the office. Major Page is not built
that way but If the Office of Governor
of Virginia seeks him 1t will doubtless
find him. Tir0inia Sun.

Virginia at the Fair.

The Virginia Worlds Fair board had a
meeting in Richmond last week at which
matters connected with the States ex-
hibit at Chicago were discussed. A CON-
mittee was appointed to make arrange
ments for removing Peeps oil portrait OF
George Washington from Mr. Carter
house, at Shirley, to the Mount Vernon
Building at Chicago. Another feature
which was discussed and which was
favorably received by tho board is the
suggestion to move a special exhibit of
Virgnia's sweet potato products. The idea
is for the Eastern Shore counties OF the
State to place the finest specimens Of the
vegetable on exhibition possible. The
potatoes are to be cooked in every con-
ceivable form known to the culinary art
and the products presented to visitors
The work of distribution ard Of cooking
the potatoes in the various ways it IS
pro posed to be entrusted to pretty girls
of the Eastern Shore. This feature, it is
believed. will be one Of the most unique
attempted by any of the States.
The board fixed August Q as Virginia
Day. This was named because 1t was
the day of assembling at jamestown OF
the first house Of burgesSes in this State
as indeed it was the first legislative body
that had met in North America.
Among the relies IN the Virginia ex-
hibit will be the original pipe of the
Indian chief POwhatan. This is the
property of Mrs. Sallie HARRISON Redd, OF
Henry county.

was blowing a, the time and, despite the
most strenuous efJrt3 of the citizens, the
fire spread rapidly from bnildlng to build

less Of all reports to the contrary, Major
Mann Page will certainly be the standard
bearer of the Peoples party aud will head
the State ticket in the election next fall.
1t has been generally conceded all long
that Major Page would be the Peoples
party candidate for Governor. The re-
port that the president of the Farmers
Alliance was not candidate for Guber-
Material honers grew out of the fact that
the Major said he was not candidate
for the nomination.
The fact is that while Maj. Page IS not
candidate for the nomination, it is well
known among the third partytes that il
the nomination IS rendered him lie will
accept 1t. Maj Page is the Only man q
far slated.
Mr.. r. ". Harris, secretary Of tie
Peoples party State committee, is au-
liberty for tho above statement. He
also told a correspondent that his parry
would certainly have full ticket in The
field next autumn, and would make
fight at every point.
be says his party will hold a conven-
ton either in Richmend or Lynchburg
lust as coon after the Democrats have
their convention as possible. They have
not decided whom to run for llenteuan
governor or attorney general.
Mr. Harris also affirmed that his party
would make TO fight for the county
Offices, but would let each county lOol
after its own election aud the State com
mittee would not interfere.
