ment having consented, the democratic

A very heavy rain, wind and hail
storm passed over a section of Pittsyl-
yania county Wednesday evening,
causing great damage to the growing
crops.
Some of the Orange farmers were
somewhat disappointed in their wheat
crop when they cut it, as they find the
yield will not be as abundant as was
thought.
The Richmond bankers last night
had q conference and decided that
hereafter deposits of drafts and other
paper will not be credited to customers
until the collections have been made.
There is a rumor that Gen. Dabney
H. Maury has been rendered Il salary

not been made him.
The final commencement exercises Of

That splendid farm about one mile
west of Fredericksburg, known as
"Snowden," the residence of the late
John L. Stansbury, was sold at public
auction Thursday for the sum of
S15,75O. 1t was purchased by Mr.. Jno.
A. Chapman, a wealthy gentleman of

handsome roadway and lay water pipe
from the extensive springs on the farm.
The State alliance meeting will be
held in Lynchburg early in August and
the session promises to be decidedly in
teresting. To all appearances the al
lance in Virginia is not even so strong
as it was @ year ago. 1t lisa well-known
fact that many good men, who opposed
the officers taking the active part they
did in politics last year, have with
drawn and others are giving a very
lukewarm support. 1t is said that Maj.
Mann Page will decline to serve as
president for another term.

\ AS THE law provides that the Secre-
tarv of the Treasury may pay the debts
of the government with gold or silver
dollars at his pleasure, and as the sill
verite congressman continue to assert
that a silver, is worth as much as a gold
dollar, though they know that the val
ne of the silver it contains is really
worth only half a dollar, Mr.. Carlisle
should bring them to a realizing sense OF
their absurdity by paying them their
salaries with the sort of money of which
they profess to be enamOred, They
would then appreciate the facts that
there is and can be but n standard OF
value, and that the United States, puts
SAINT as some of their people suppose
they are. cannot make a double stand
a,d against the opposition OF all the
rest of the world.

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 80 1898.

THE anti 'Ferrall delegates to the
State convention from the Berryvllle
district, in Clarke county, have declin-
ed TO resign and submit to a new pri-
mary. Upon the grounds thatthey were
fairly elected and that they a not
afford to resign now, as it has been
charged that they were elected by I'M
proper methods. To outsiders tneir
action doesn't seem wise, and 1t Is
hoped they will reconsider it. There
is ample time, a month off if deemed
necessary, for them to hold another prl-
mary, and all such matters should De
settled before the convention meets
According to the testimony of reliable
witnesses they had a majority at the
first election, aud if that be so, with
proper cxertions they would doubtless
retain at a second one.

Lukens showed her $500 which he said

THE Michigan liquor law, compelling
drunkards to submit to the gold cure
treatment, is as absurd as that of South
Carolina, by which that State has be-
come a liquor dealer. The only specif-
ic temperance measure is the grace OF
God: next to that come a high license
tax and the arrest and punishment of
every nan under the influence of liquor
seen in public.

AND NOW Mr.. Lyon, the republican
surveyor of the port of New York, de-
fies Secretary Carlisle, and says he will
not obey his order, nor furnish infor-
NATION to customs house investigators,
and he bases his reason for so doing
upon the provisions of the civil service
law. Well, the democrats now have
control of Congress and of the Presl-
dency. and if they don't repeal the I'M
American, undemocratic and hypo-
critical law referred to, it will be their
own fault.

Execution of Pinkney and Barber.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, June 80
William Pinkney and Daniel Barber,
both colored, were hanged here to-day
at 1921 o'clock for the murder, on the
evening of March Goth, of Mr.. Francis
NJ. Bowie, a wealthy farmer, who re-
sided near this place. Farmers from
the surrounding country, cyclers from
Washington and others of the morbid
and curious were here in great numbers
to witness the double execution.
The story of the crime is as follows :
Pinkney met Bowie and en-
gagged him in a controversy and
knocked him from his horse with
q bludgeon and with several more
blows despatched the unfortunate man.
Pinkney then hurried after Barber and
the two carried the corpse to an old
we'll where they dropped it into water
about eight feet deep. They kept the
victims watch and this afterward led to
their detection and conviction. On the
18th of May last Pinkney escaped from
Jail but at length firing of being hunted,
aud hoping to divert some of the re,
ward for his capture to his family, he
surrendered. Barber protested he had
nothing to do with the actual murder
and he was corroborated by Pinkney
but it was shown that he had planned
such a tragedy and that he had venge.
full feelings toward Mr.. Bowie, who had
him indicted for stealing meat, and he
was adjudged equally guilty.

The article in Wednesdays issue of

relics recalls to mind the fact that not
long ago Miss Stuart Mosby, daughter
of Col. Johu S. Mosby, called on Mr.. l..
A. Marsteller, of this place, for thepur-
pose of trying to purchase the Wash
ington pistols. They are large flint
lock ones with brass barrels n with
silver name plates on which is engrav-
ed &c. Washington" Your CORE,
spondent, who has many hundred
times reposed under the same roof with
these venerable old warriors OF the
days of long ago, has also seen, in the
Virginia room at Mt. Vernon, the COM
panions of sheir more youthful days,
their s.lpty holsters, from which they
nave long been separated. These relics
of the past, carrying us back in the
shirt to revolutionary times, fill us
with wonder at beholding the kind OF
implements used by Il %forefathers in
severing the political ties between thu
and the mother country.

But the man worth while is the one who viii

When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test Of the heart is trouble.
And it always comes with ths years,
And the smile that is worth the praise et

LIZ the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice of sin
Is turing your soul away.
But it's only negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that Is worth the honor OF earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength tor the strife,
The worlds highway Is numbered to-day;

But the virtue that conquers passion.
And The sorrow that hides in u smile.

For we find them but once in II while.
