POLITICS IN NORFOLK.
The Gubernatorial Contest 10 Waxing
Warm.

NORFOLK, VA. May Especial
The fight over the gubernatorial con-
test IS viking warm. Among the
strongest supporters of Mr.. Tyler is
Councilman J. G. Corbin, Of the First
ward. who says that when the time
comes to elect delegates he will be in
the "band-wagon."
Justice East. who at present is leading
the O'Ferrall forces. says that Council
man Corbin will be In the harness and
I1ast will be driving and If not he will
land a fine OFerrall delegation at the
convention. Both OF these gentlemen are
very sanguine. and both are liable TO
be disappointed. No man at this writing
can tell how Norfolk stands. The peo-
pie have not made up their minds on
the subject. The politicians are we'll di-
vided. and strong and experienced lead
ers are supporters Of both aspirants.
The announcement that Colonel Buford
viii be a candidate may change materially
the complexion of Norfolk's delegation.
The Democratic executive committee met
tonight and will make an effort to Sc
cure the State convention. There has
not been a State convention in Norfolk
for twelve years.

County Surveyor Gideon was up
from Waldport this week, doing
some surveying in the vicinity of
Toledo.
A. d. Perkins returned from the
valley in the vicinity Of Silverton,
where he has been stopping during
the summer, today:~
The continued wet weather has
about completely vestroyed all un-
threshed oats which are still in the
fields in this locality.
A. T. Peterson was an outward
bound passenger on last Mondays
train headed for Chicago and the
Worlds fair. He stopped over a
short time at Albany.
The Albany Democrat says: "Mr.
Ora Copeland, the seal fisher of
Toledo, was in the city yesterday,
and was giving his friends some in
teresting narrations of his trip along
Japan. At one time he was out in
the fog as far as as 80 miles from
his vessel, and about gave up as
being lost, when he was taken up
by strange vessel and again start
ed for his own ship in the morning.
Young Copeland was one of the
crack shots Of the party getting
extra pay for his superior skill.
The business is not only dangerous
but tiresome, the constant watching
of the water III boat ever rocking
being very wearying to the eyes
and body. Over 81 600 in three
months, though, explains how one
can forget the dangers and enter
into the spirit Of the enterprise re-
gardlcss of consequences"
We would again urge Upon the
people Of Toledo the absolute
necessity of getting Our school to
running. We should be alive to
our vital interests enough to not |
permit a much longer time to
elapse without school. 1t should
be IN progress now. One or two |
months of good school might be
held before the wet weather sets in.
There have been numerous plans
spoken of to carry on the school.
The best one to Our mind would be |
to call special meeting of the
electors of the district and vote
tax for the purpose of maintaining
a school this winter. The tax
could not be collected before spring
but we could employ teachers with
that understanding and issue war
rants to them which would be res
deemed when the tax is collected
in the spring. 1t surely is not pos
sible that the people of Toledo are
so dead to their own interests and
to the welfare Oft youth that no
provision will be made for public
school this winter. Let us act up
Oh some line at once.
Since writing the above the
school board has posted notices call
ing special election to net Upon
the matter on Saturday, October
9TH,
