Craig-y-nos castle, situated at the
base Of THE Rock of Night" one Of
the many high hills which stretch
away from the Drocon Beacons to-
ward Swansea bay, from which the
diva's homo takes its name, appears
to the weary and f0otSore traveller
Ito whom q hearty meal and ample
rest is never doniell to be as an oasis
amid the desert plains. Built in the
center of q wildly romantic cXpanse
of scenery and traycrscd by tho
Tawe, a bright little river which
hurlics scaward, babbling and rip
ping as it flows, the castle stands re.
splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view OF
the broad valley and its picturesque
surroundings.
To the left Of tho chateau are sit
uated the conservatol'ies, vineries
peachhouses, etc, and last, but not
least, the magnificent winter garden,
which has lately been erected and
stocked with rarc palms and Australi-
an ferns. Here the diva takes her daily
walk when fierce gales and drench.
ing showers deter her from Drawing

garden arc brilliantly illuminated by
electric light, SO that the effect of the
cattle at night, when viewed from
the sombcr valley, is that of an en-
chanted palace situated in Fairyland.

COLLECTING UE11S IN FRANCE.
Points Of Difference Ertween tho System
There and In THIS Country.

There and In This Country.
The matter ITacticCd in the collec-
ton Of debts in Franco and in the
United States Goes not differ nlateri-
ally gave in the collection and the
mode Of procedure. The first step
which is necessary for q creditor in
France to take before he cGn use le-
Gal means to collect o debt due h1m
Is to obtain Judgment against the
debtor, which IS rendered by a JUS
tice of tho peace, provided the
amount does not exceed $40. The de-
fendant is required toappear in court
on certain day and arrange for
settlement Of tho account and pay q
part OF the whole Of it on show cause
why.
If this arrangement is net made,
the defendant is Il second time sum-
moned to appear, and should he
then fatty refuse payment judgment
is rendered against him. The cost
of judgment, together with that Of
the summons, is betrayed by the
plaintiff and q copy Of the former
sent to the debtor He then has
three months grace to appeal beforoa
civil court from the judgment already
handed down. Failing to exercise
this privilege, the matter is put in
the hands Of 'huissier," whose
functions partalse OF those of both
the bailifr and process server, but his
methods as wcll as his perOgatives
resemble neither one nor the other.
The hui5sier upon request OF the
creditor makes an abstract state
ment Of the condition Of the debt,
the foo for preparing and serving the
samo varying according to tho
length of the instrument and not ac-
cording to the Importance Of tho
debt. It's average cost, however, may
be placed at $3.50
In case the debtor ignores the doc
umcnt an "assignatiOn' is served
upon him, and eight days thereafter
his furniture is seized and placed in
the hands Of tho huiSsier. The cX-
pensc entailel il the preparation of
these notices is betrayed by the cred
itor, but if at any moment the debt
OF agrees to liQUiIatc in full he is not
only required by law to discharge
his original obligation, bat to add to
it the costs Of the Judgment and fees
of the huisSicr. Whether this sys-
tenn is better than tho plan pursued
in tho United States is q matter OF
opinion. --pitts!urg Dispatch

4 MUCH NEEDED Law.

1t was simply the good fortune Of Staun-
ton, that the Spiller crime was committed
during the term of the county court, and
that there was determined Judge to for
ward the proceedings. If it had not been
term time with his court, Judge ChallSley
would have been powerless. All that could
have been done would have been to spirit
off the murderer to some neighboring city
If that could have been done-or to have
kept the military here for several weeks at
great expense. There should be a law
passed by the legislature empowering the
Judge to open his court out Of term time
for such emergencies.
We hope the press of the State which has
been unanimous in expressing its approval
of the way the Spiller matter has been
managed, will be as unanimous in advoca-
ting the passage of such a law by the legis-
lature. And we trust that one Of the rep
resentatives from Augusta, who have such
excellent reasons to adduce for it, will in
| troduce and urge the passage of such law.

AUGUSTUS SHARE.

Our State contemporaries are, we are afraid,
praising Staunton too much at the ex-
pense of the county. The Sheriff who called
out the troops was Watts, the county Sher-
iff; the Judge who so vigorously speeded
the legal proceedings was Chalkley, the
county Judge; the Commonwealth At
torney who pushed the prosecution was
White, the county Attorney, and the Dep
uty Sheriff who went out to make the az
rest accompanied by two officers was Daw-
son, the county deputy.
Staunton did her share; her Mayor,
Fultz, saw to preserving order with the
police, and closing the saloons: her officers
Simpson and Hamilton, made the arrest
jointly with the Deputy Sheriff her
Commonwealth s Attorney, Bumgardner,
worked up the best evidence the prosecu-
ton put in, and she promptly furnished her
quota of the troops. She was not behind
hand in anything, but she wants the coun-
ty to have it's share of praise for an affair
that was without doubt admirably managed
ON all sides.

POLITICAL NOTES.

General Malone was at the Capitol III
Washington last week, dressed as he usually
is-light felt hat, black cloth frock coat
buttoned at the waist, trousers pleated at
the waistband and small at bottom, low
quartered shoes, and shirt with ruffied
bosom and cuffs. He is still pointed out
to strangers as an object of interest.
The House Committee on Coinage gave
a hearing last week to W. w. Hubbell Of
Virginia, upon bill which he had prepar-
ed, and which had been introduced by Rep
resentative Tucker of Virginia, providing
for the coming, and maintaining>thep parity
Of both gold and silver.
Postmaster General Bissel has decided
not to appoint saloon keepers OF bar tenders
as postmasters. He says it is not a tenn
perance nor moral question with the De-
partment, but that observation and expe-
rience has convinced him that connection
with the liquor business interferes with
the full discharge of official duties in any
branch Of the postal service.
The Democrats of Shenandoah met at
Woodstock last Monday, and adopted reso-
lutions urging on the Senate the immediate
enactment of the Wilson tariff bill.
Senator Hill by being the only Democrat
ic Senator in the Senatorial caucus that re-
fused to vote for the tariff bill with the in
come tax in it, proved that Il am a Demo
crat" and no other Democratic Senator is.
At this date 1t seems certain that if a
Democratic ticket Of a thoroughly reliable
class of men, and in whom the people OF
Norfolk have confidence, is not nominated
at the primary there, the Prohibition tick
ct will be elected.
The Richmond Democratic primary was
the largest ever had in that city and
brought out 1919 voters. Richard M.
Taylor. wholesale grocer and liquor deal
Ell, was nominated-for Mayor.
The chairman of the Congressional Com
mittee for the Ashland, KY, district, just

suppose it is not generally known BY our
citizens that the Father of our Country, :,

alignment of Lord Fairfax, George Washing
ton surveyed a line from Chesapeake Bay to
the Ohio River. The line to this day can be
seen. 1t is the dividing line in many cases
between farms. 1t passes Newport, and was
once the county line between Augusta and
Shenandoah counties; after that the county
line between Shenandoah and Rockingham,

Cleveland is the same yesterday and to-
day. He is the same Democrat who wrote
that Tariff Reform letter in 1883; the same
Democrat who wrote his anti-free silver
letter in 1892. The people always know
where to find him, which is more than can
be said of spurious Democratic tariff re-
formers, OF nervous demagogues who are
skipping back and forth on the silver ues-
ton in holy terror of supposed populistic
element in the Democratic party.

Later, about 1882, Page, county was cut
put of Shenandoah and Rockingham,
and Page Tapped over, leaving the
the whole line running across Page county.
Above New Market it is still the county line
between Shenandoah and Rockingham. My
old friend. Noah W. Shuler, called my atten-
ton to it few days ago. Ought not the rail
road authorities mark the old line where their
road crosses the line?
