Mr.. Charles T. Mitchell, promi-
nent citizen of this place. died sud
denly at his residence Wednesday
night, after n short illness from pneu-
monia. MIR. Mitchell was born in
Charleston, s. c., and was about sew
entY years of age. He was for many
years n leading cotton merchant of
Charleston and amassed cOnsidera-
BILE fortune, but met with subsequent
rcYerses and lost most of his wealth.
He was prominent in many business
enterprises in his native State, and
as president of the largest railroad
corporation in the State cxerted much
influence in financial circles. He al
so took an active interest in politics,
and under president CIeveland's first
term held the office of chief of divis-
ion in the first auditors office in the
Treasury Department. He removed
to this place about fifteen years ago
and purchased the old homestead of
the late Judge Isaac r. Douglass.
Mr.. Mitchell married Fannie Bassett,
daughter of George Washington Bas-
sett, a well known and prominent
citizen of Hanover county, Va. Mrs.
Mitchell is related 10 General WASH
ingten, her Observation-Disclosures
being a sister to general Washing
ton. A widow. four daughters and
two sons survive the deceased. His
body was taken to Richmond, Va,
for interment.

LetLer from Mr. WHson.

NEW YORK. Dec. s.-The Dry
Goods Economist, to be issued to-
morrow, will have the following let
ter from Congressman Wilson. 1t
was sent in answer TO a telegram di-
recting attention to efferts being
made to change the date when the
tariff bill, if passed, will take effect
House OF REPRESENTATIVES. WAsH-
INGToN, d. c., Dec. 6. 1893
Dear sir: 1t. is NOT possible for
me to answer your telegram
just received. The dates OBJ
jected TO were fixed by the full DEM
ocratic membership of the committee,
and have no authority individually,
to promise n change. may add that
the dates were chosen after much de-
liberation and with the counsel and
approval of some of the largest mer-
chants and manufacturers of the
country. Certainly, may say as tr
two of them, that they are, each in
their line, unequalIed as to the mag
Ditude of their interests involved.
Any date is convenient to many. and
there has been a hopeless confusion
of tongues among them. The com.
mittee has no other desire than tc
speed legislation and 10 smooth the
transition as much as possible. Thirty
odd years of protection has (perhap:
naturally taught few hundred
thousand people that tariff laws are
made for their sole benefit, and that
the other seventy millions have nc
rights which lawmakers should re.
spect. A tax upon the latter OF
S25. $50, $40 or even $50 on 500
worth of goods seems n matter toe
trivial to complain of if it helps the
business of the few.
Sincerely yours, v
w l.. WILSON.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1893-12-12

Governor MacCorkle has addressed
a letter to Mr.. M. V. Richards, land
and immigrant agent of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, in which he
says: "Your letter of November 10
at hand, incIosing statement that
SwissCon sui Schomberg had reported
that good land titles could not be OBJ
tanned in West Virginia and that the
whole State was under q cloud, etc.
This statement is utterly unjust 1
wish to state in my professional ca
pacity as lawyer. technically famil-
lar with West Virginia land titles, as
well as in my public position as gov
ernor Of the State, that land titles are
as good here as in any State in the
Union. The States marvellous in
crease in commercial product and
prosperity and the great and growing
increase in the prices of its coal and
timber lands, is a sufficient answer
to the statement that there is cloud
upon the State" The governor
says there is no doubt about some
people having purchased bad titles in
West Virginia, but he says this was
because they did not exercise ordi-
nary business precautions. 81 have
vet to find," says the governor, "and
challenge single instance of any
purchaser getting bad title in this
State when he had exercised reason
able prudence, purchased from rep
utable persons, and had his title ex-
amined by a competent person."

The Virginia Debt.


Governor MacCorkIe, of thisState,
has written letter on the subject of
the Virginia debt question. The
Governor holds that according to the
original agreement and apportion-
ment of the debt of Virginia when the
State Was divided and when West
Virginia was made separate State,
the latter to-day is not debtor but a
creditor of Virginia to the extent of
over I.alf a million of dollars. West
Virginia, the Governor argues, has
no Just share of the debt prior to 1861.
Yirginia's debt was then in round
numbers s31, 200, 900. The counties
which now compose West Virginia
had previously contributed, clear.
nearly 81, 900, 900 and the expendi-
lures within them by Virginia from
1922, the date of the first issue of
Virginia bonds, was over half mil
lion of dollars less. leaving not West
Virginia in Virginia's debt, but really
Virginia in West vfrginia's debt to
that amount. Governor MacCorkIe
quotes the original agreement to
show that his position cannot be con-
troverted in law, that West Virginia,
according to the original agreement,
owes no portion of the Virginia debt,
but, on the contrary. that the mother
State owes West virginias525. O7O II.
He says the West Virginia certificates
issued by Virginia arc not worth the
paper upon which they were written
so far as any liability of West vir-
ginia is concerned.

Charles Broadway Rouss, million
aire, philanthropist, soldier and pa
triot, has erected in our cemetery to
the memory of his beloved dead a
noble monument of granite, designed
after the unsurpassed model of Cleo
patra's Needle, the perfect and sub
lime expression of human sorrow for
the loved and lost. Beneath that
worthy tribute repose the ashes of the
excellent parents who fostered his
infancy and planted in his youthful
breast the hcaven-born virtues of
industry, self denial, fidelity and in
tegrity, and of his fine boy, the heir
of thosevirtues, whom he had educated
to be the representative of his great
business and TO be the generous dis
tributor of his numberless charities.
