TO THE DEMOCRATS.

sit is the duty of every Democrat to
vote in the approaching election. Like
every other important duty it cannot be
delegated. Each voter must perform
that service to the State for himself
1t is of the most vital Importance that
we should have absolute control of the
general assembly as we'll as of the
Office OF governor. 1t is strictly State
affair and a question Of local self-gov-
ernment The next general assembly
will have to elect judges OF the circuit
court for the city of Richmond, the
Hastings Court and the chancery court
and United States Senator to fill the
unexpired term of the late John S.
Barbour, and the regular term, all the
circuit court judges for the whole
commonwealth, and the five judges for
the supreme court OF appeals. The
approaching legislature will have more
power than any general assembly ever
elected in the history of Virginia

HARD TIMES.

Realizing the exigencies arising from
depression in the money world around
us, which necessitates the practice of
rigid economy in all particulars, THE
TIMES has made such arrangements as
will give to its readers an opportunity
of saving no less than $3.50 upon pur.
chases of almost the absolute necessi-
ties of life at the regular prices, and at
the same time the privilege of reading
the best paper in Southwest Virginia
for one year.
THE TIMES has just made contract
with the Economy Company of this city,
whereby this wonderful plan is made
possible for the benefit of it's readers.
The scheme will be fully explained in
The TINES columns on Tuesday morn
ing when every arrangement will have
been perfected and it's agents will be
prepared to place the opportunity which
we offer within the grasp of those whom
we trust will be anxious to receive this
chance to save money.

THE EFFECT OF REPEAL.

The effect which the passage of the
repeal bill will have upon the finances
Of the country is commented upon in
q telegr ram received on Friday by Sena-
tor Voorhees,, and of which the chair
man OF the committee on finance has
expressed his cordial Endorsement.
Mr. Clews, who is one of the foremost
bankers and brokers OF the metropolis,
wired as follows: "The great national
banks Of Europe now hold $3.50, 900, COO
in gold, and other banks $3.50, 600, 900
more, making $1,000, 900. 900. Most of
this belongs to depositors and is now
absolutely idle. When our money is
put in solid shape, as it will be by the
repeal of the silver clause of the Sher-
man bill. this country will act as
powerful magnet to draw an important
part of that hoard of metal to this
country, as this county is really the
only place that holds out the promise
to make good and profitable investments.

POLITICAL NEWS AND NOTES.

Local and General Itoms of Interest to the
Politicians.
The Democrats held big meeting at
Richmond Friday night and Judge
Waller R. Staples and Attorney General
Scott discussed the issues of the cam
paign. Judge Staples, who has just re-
turned from the Southwest gives an
encouraging report OF the prospects OF
the party in that section. There is, he
said, complaint among the prominent
Democratic managers OF apathy in parts
of the State. In some of the counties
it has been difficult to arouse as much
interest as in past campaigns. Chair
man Ellyson and other leaders feel no
sort of doubt of Colonel O'Ferrall's cleo
ton by a good majority. The indica-
tions are that the total vote this year
will not come up to that in past State
contests.
The grandest barbecue that has been
given in Southside Virginia for some
years was that at Dinwiddie Court House
Thursday under the auspices of the
Democrats of that county. Colonel
O'Ferrall addressed large audience.
A special to the Richmond Times
lrOm Ot6uuEOn QaGeu OCGODer ~ Says.
Waynesboro, the little Tammany of Au.
gusta, turned out about FIVE hundred
voters 10 hear Tucker, Marshall and
O'Ferrall. The Prohibitionists had the
Rev. Sam Jones, Sam Small and George
Stewart on the ground, but refeused to
divide time with the Democratic speak
ers. A written challenge was sent to the
Prohibition com mittee by the Democrats
to discuss on any terms, but it was de-
clined. About four hundred meD,
women and children heard the Prohibi
ton orators. Hon. Absalom Koiner
presided over the Democratic meeting,
and introduced in his usually happy
way as the first speaker Edward Echols.
Mr.. Echols made ringing speech
"Cyclone Jim" Marshall is native of
Augusta county, and aroused great en-
thusiasm by his speech. OF course
O'Ferrall was received with great ap-
plause. Many Repu blicans were heard to
remark that they had never heard such
flow of language and such convincing
argument as was furnished by O'Ferrall.
He completely captured the crowd.
Tucker followed in brief, but convinc-
ing speech.

"CLEANLINESS
is next to
GOODNESS"


Were your eyes ever shocked
was your nose ever offended
by anything you ever saw or
smelled In our store?
We think not.
Our constant aim Is to give
to our establishment an ap.
pearance and atmosphere In
dicative of our goods-pure,
fresh and wholesome. Scrupu-
lous cleanliness Is, with us, a
necessity, and our clerks and
statesmen are so instructed.
We think that this care on
our part convinces customers
of our desire to please, but 1t
is not done for show-it Is a
veritable part Of our business
system.
Everything you may pur.
chase from us can be relied on
for Its perfect purity and whole
someness.

so astouuded the savages that they made
no attack The cannon was dragged
through under water. The party halted
after crossing, put the gun in position on IA

The explorers Travelled for weeks in the
unknown regions of the Columbia and went
50 far north as to catch sight of the snow
covered peaks of Washington. Late in No
yember they set ont on the return, expect
