VIRGINIA NOTES.

Mr.. George r. Easton. late of Eng

ter of Capt. j. Archer Harris, promi.
nent English man of this county, were
married Friday at Charlottesville.
At o'clock Friday morning. Mr.. n.
B. Lillienfield, prominent merchant
of Charlottesville, was Mortified to find
his wife lying dead by his side. She
had died, apparently, without strug-
gle-it is supposed from heart disease
and had been dead several hours. A
coincidence connected with her death is
that she died on her birthday.
Two cows recently went astray at
Newport News, Va. One belonged to a

since. The bereaved men heard of the
purchase and each claimed the animal
and presented proof equally convincing
The case came up before Judge and
the jury heard the evidence, bu. as the
witnesses for each party described the
same COW, they were unable to give 8
decision. Then the judge said he would
turn the COW out on the green. II she

81 can tell story of man who was
lucky" said business man to a group
of story tellers. "In the early days of
the gold excitement in California there
came to San Diego man who was sick
almost to death. He was taken in hand
and fed and fixed mp. He told a story
of n wonderful find Of gold he had made
1t was only few days off, he said, and
he would take party to the place if
they would outfit.
Several men who heard the story of
the great gold in the mountains that was
theirs to go after got up party Of 90.
The start was made with that man as
leader. After few days travel it be-
came evident that the man had forgotten
the way. They travelled on, trusting to
luck, however. Indians were hostile at
the time, and they started in to NOW the
gold hunters. They picked off one after
another with their bullets. A score were
thus taken off. Then fever struck the
party, and II more went the way Of death.
"By this time the 10 survivors were
crazy with rage. They had been ID days
out and were travelling in the most arid
country. Food was growing less and
less, and death faced everybody. On the
afternoon of the fourteenth day the lead
er, who had caused so much misery, was
given three days more to find his gold
find If he wac not successful by that
time, he was to hang.
"Well, the three days had almost
passed, and still there was no sign of the
find. The last hour was almost up. 1t
seemed that the man must hang. There
were only five minutes more, now two
minutes, now one minute, now half q
minute-then came his luck. Just rs the
time was up for hanging that man drop
ped dead"
II don't see how he was lucky"
why" said the business man, "he was
lucky because if he hadn't died he would
have been hanged."- Tacoma Neyvs.

WAY TO ADVERTISE THE SOUTH.
The Manufacturers Record has tho
following able suggestion of way in
which this section OF the country may
be known to the outside world:
An excellent opportunity to display
and advertise the resources and attrac-
tions of the South is now offered by the
presence OF so many representatives of
foreign governments at the Columb ian
Exposition. Over 100 people from every
part of the globe are in Chicago acting
as commissioners for the countries from
which they come. Besides these thou.
sands of Europeans are also visiting the
fair unofficially.
These commissioners are from such
countries as the South American repub.
lies, Denmark, France, Germany, Great
Britain, the West Indies, Central
America, Canada, Australia, China,
Japan, Persia, Russia, Sweden, Spain,
Italy and Africa. They are here not
only to represent their governments,
but to study the United States and its
people, politically, socially and com.
mercially. When they return to their
homes they will report on what they
have seen in the country they have
passed through. These reports will, so
to speak, be IS so many advertisements
for the States noted in them.
Here is the point Why should not
some effort be made to have them visit
the South before they leave the United
States? The boards OF trade and other
bodies in the several cities could easily
cooperate in arranging a tour from
Maryland to Texas by special train
under the guidance Of a committee FROM
each State. Stops could be made in the
principal cities and in localities where
the mining and manufacturing indus
tries are so strikingly shown, in the
agricultural and other sections which
offer special inducements Tor immigra-
ton, at phosphate beds, in the cotton
and tobacco sections, in the trucking
and fruit-growing regions; in short at
hundred points OF interest where tho
resources, advantages and development
of the South would create an impression
in the minds of the visitors which they
would carry with them to their native
countries.
We need not dwell on the benefit this
visit Of the foreign commissioners would
be to every State through which they
pass. Every business man, every man
ufacturer and every farmer can appre-
ciate its Importance. Let the cham Der
of commerce or board of trade In Balti-
more, Richmond, Charleston, Atlanta,
New Orleans or Galveston take the in
itiative in calling a meeting for the pur-
pose N entioned and the other business
bodies would speedily follow up the
matter. The railroad lines would
doubtless do all in their power to help
the project. The city Of St. Louis has
already secured visit from them. Have
them see what the South offers to set
tiers and home. seekers.

THE Central Democratic Club, in
whose hands now rests the work of
waging the campaign fight, have begun
in manner which bespeaks of good
results. 1t is only three weeks hence
to election time and work now must
be made to count. The Tammany
Hall organization in New York, how
ever black an eye it may have received
on account of its policygra bling pro-
pensities, is a model of successful party
organization. 1t extends its work to
the districts, the wards and the
polling precincts. and in the
latter division holds pre-. eminently
its strongest power. Work in the dis
tricts of the wards will meet with sue
cess here in the city of Roanoke, and
although general meetings will be in
strumental in awakening enthusiasm.
the organized efforts in the districts
will be found more profitable in the
end.

FREE SILVER is NOT FREE MONEY.

FREE SILVER is NOT FREE MONEY.
The Populists are evidently trying TO
convey the idea among the people who
DO not understand their wiles that free
silver means free to you, to me, TO all Of
us-or If not absolutely gratis'it can be
obtained with little more effort than
would be necessary to turn stone over
and pick up the white metal dollars
beneath il.
But free coinage in the usual parlance
OF the term is quite another thing, SO
different in fact as to cause authorities
to differ as to just what impression they
wish TO convey or just what conception
they have of it themselves. 1t either
means that the mine owners can have
their bullion coined by the Government
at no expense whatever, or they can
have all they wish coined with a reason
able seignorage in payment for tho
work of stamping on the eagle and
medallion OF the fair representative of
liberty.
But the absence Of free coinage at the
present time is not responsible for the
recent stringency in the monetary at
fairs and it cannot reasonably be con.
cluded that it will be the elixir to rem
edy the condition in which the country
now finds itself. 1t is not the lack
OF money in the country that
has been responsible for this crisis. but
the absence OF it from circulation that
has caused it all. England or other
countries OF the world have not secured
our wealth by some gigantic deal in
the monetary circles. She has sent
back and will send back mere than she
has received.
No, the money is here locked up,

sitiOn.

CINCINNATI, July ga dispatch from
Portsmouth says that in Rome the action of
the pension department in dropping from the
rolls an old soldier resulted in the burning in
effigy tonight of SECRETARY HOKE SMITH.
The man is j. L. REED, and he is eighty three
years OF age. His pension was his only means
OF support. Losing it affected his mind so
that he is now a maniac and will have to be
taken in an asylum. He was a member of
COLONEL ROBERT G I~NGERsOLLs Eleventh
Illinois Calvery. His pension has lot been
cancelled, but discontinued pending investi-
CATION.
The above Cavorting around the coun-
try in double leads in some of the re-
publican newspapers, is a fair sample of
the sentimental rot sent out by the gasp
ing and expiring 6. o. p. When a man
is eighty three years of age and his pen
sion is cut off, the probabilities are that
he fears that he will be unprecedented in
his past career of getting money under
false pretenses. If he had received a
pension for honorable service performed,
he would not go crazy when he was
suspended. Age does not act that way.
Even imbecility wants to fight and wants
to argue. The old man at eighty-three,
conscious that he was right, would be
pleased to engage in a controversy and
prove his claim as just. 1t is human
nature, and those who know the child
ishness and weakness of age, know that
it would rather contend than admit, anv
day in the week
Butthe OLD man who has been unsaddled
simply knows that he has been receiving
a bogus pension, we take it, and having
been detected, with his feet about in the
grave, loses his reason. He perhaps had
lost his reason before, and years before,
and some ~scoundrelly pension agent
convinced him that he had been a soldier,
when perhaps the facts will show that
he was never in the army.

twaddle. 1t is all bosh and its moon.
