They are With the South.

'"There is a newspaper story afoat
that Miss Winnie Davis, being IN
favor of woman suffrage, has said
she would vote the Republican
ticket if she had right to do so.
1--WE have it from the best author
ity that this statement is false in all
of it's particulars. Indeed, such a
monstrous proposition from one Of
Mr.. DAVIS family would be impossl-
BILE.
Davis is opposed to woman suffrage,
but were She in favor of it she could
never contemplate joining party
which has so bitterly reviled her
father, to say nothing of its hostility
to our people.
THE hearts and lot OF Mrs. Davis
and her children are with the South,
and the temerity Of the person who
attempts to put them in any other
position is inexplicable. Richmond

What is in the Skrl

DIR. Z. L. Adams, smoke inspector
of Chicago, was seen by Il Post re-
porter last night and asked to ac-
count for the baze that has been
hanging over this city FOR the last
few days. Mr. Adams said that the
prevalent idea was that the haze was
caused by the forest fires now raging
ia the Northwest, but this could
hardly be possible in the face of the
fact that the atmosphere is clOuded
as far west as the Pacific Slope and
as for south as Memphis, Tenn, con
vering distance of at least a million
square miles, and it is hardly posi-
bic that fires covering no more than
300 squares miles could affect the
whole country in this manner. If
fires were raging all over the country
it might account for the general
haziness Of the atmosphere, but there
must be some other cause, some ma
tural phenomenon that produces the
murky appearance Of the sky.
Some years ago the same pheno-
menon wss noted, but that was
caused by the earth passing through
the tail of comet. The present haze
may be caused by the same state Of
things, or by some equally strange
action of nature.
Mr.. Adams said that at Chicago
and all over the great lakes the haze
was so dense that navigation was
almost impossible, and that the lake
boats were running aground even al
the entrances of the ports. Scien
lists may in time be able to account
for the strange haze, but at present
1t is matter of pure conjecture

AccoMAc COURTHOUSE, Va.
SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER s, 1894.
Entered at the Postoflice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

A business revival is reported al
ready throughout the country as the
result of the new tariff bill which re-
Gently went into effect. Industries,
it is stated, that languished during
the late money stringency, are re-
gaining their old time health and
vigor and those that have been idle
for months are resuming operations
all through the country. An era OF
great prosperity is predicted every
where In our land and no where great
err than in the Southland the evil
dences are not wanting that it has
already begun, notably in New York
The good results of the settlement OF
the tariff question is shown in that
city by the rush of buyers from all
over the West and South. According
to the New York papers the hotels OF
that city are crowded with visitors,
the most OF them merchants, the dry
goods district is daily crowded with
buyers. long line OF trucks are kepr
constantly busy removing goods from
bonded to private warehouses and to
the depots, express and transporta-
ton companies are crowded with
freight-on every hand in fact, are
evidences that the long period OF
business depression is at an end.
The press in other cities also confirm
their statements of revival OF bust
ness activity and in the workshops
and mills as well as in the mercantile
houses The change for the better
first felt in the cities will gradually
expand, it is believed, until every
section will feel its Quiekening effect
and be benefited thereby. Republi-
can Journals even are sadly forced to
admit that business is improving
rapidly. The evidence in their news
columns to that effect is too strong
for them to attempt to blind the PEG
pie by comments to the contrary in
their editorial columns. They do
not attempt to reconcile their past
prophesies of disaster, when the Nc
Kinley Act WIS wiped off the statute
books, with the improved condition
of things.
That genuine business boom has
started in New York, since the new
tariff bill went into effect, seems to
admit Of no doubt, when the Times,
staunch Republican paper, at the
risk of interfering materially with
the Republican tidal wave" so con
fidently predicted because OF the
new tariff bill, submits proof like
the following;
~. asia are sSsisna5sd De now
In New York over 1900 buyers from
all parts of the country. They rep
resent every class of trade, and
nine tenths of their number have
come here within the past week,
since the tariff question became set
tied. The presence OF so many buy
ers in New York at once has had the
effect of creating what may almost
be called a boom. There were few
local merchants who expected a
boom in trade. but within the last
few days many of the business men
have changed their minds on this
point, and they now look for even
more of revival than was antici,
pated by them when the Tarlf Dill
was under consideration.

An article, in recent number OF
the Washington Post, on the ap-
preaching Congressional campaign,
has the following notice of the Dem
ocratic nominee in the First district;
Another active and earnest mem
Der of the committee and of the ex-
ecutive committee is Representative
William A, Jones, of Virginia. He
is one of the most watchful men the
Democratic party has on the floor OF
the House, and the morning hour
always finds him on guard. The
committees place great reliance on
MIR. Jones' judgment, and his opinion
carries great weight with it,
And the above is in keeping with
all reports received of him. He is
always to be found not only at his
post of duty, but by his ability COM
mands that recognition which en-
ables him to serve more efficiently
the people he represents-an oppor-
tunity which he never neglects. he
is considered one Of the rising young
men OF Virginia, and the prophesies
are not infrequent that he will be al
a period not very remote, the Gov
ernor of the State.
He opened the campaign at Spott-
sylvania Court House, last Monday
and was given a rousing reception
the Populists present joining in the
applause. Mr.. Mcdonald, the Re
publican nominee, did not put in al
appearance and will probably be
actuated by THAT discretion which
is the better part of valor'' by keep
ing as far away from him as possible
during the canvass.
