A Bit of Light for the Business Man.

In advertising the resources of town
the mistake should not be made of raising
all the money town has to expend in
advertising and elbow it in" on single
squirt and then rest; for the first adver-
tisement of thing rarely attracts more
than casual notice. It is persistency
that wins. Advertising should be done
in cool-headed, business-like way, at an
expense easily borne and kept up con-
tinuously until results follow--they will
not come in month, perhaps not in three
months. But comprehensive and truth
full advertising will finally reach the
man whom it interests, if kept up.-Eddy

Talks Of Something He Knows Moth
ing About.

At last the Reavis-Peralta claim to
about 10000 square miles of the best
agricultural and mining region of New
Mexico and Arizona, including many
f1ourishing towns, is in court at Santa Fe.
1t is safe to assume that it will never get
beyond the courts. These great land
claims sometimes worry many persons,
and occasionally makea light demand for
quit-claim deeds, but they usually cost
the claimants more than any one else,
and leave them nothing to show for their
expenditure.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Counties May issue Currency.

In Floyd county, Ga, 1t has been pro-
posed To issue county-bonds Of as low
denominations az one and two dollars, TO
be used as d local currency. secretary
Carlisle was written to on the subject lie
referred the question TO Hon. Z. A.
Reeve. Solicitor of the Treasury, whose
opinion Is substantially embraced In the
following extract from that opinion.
After quoting the United States statute,
taxing the issues Of State banks. he adds:
1T will he seen that the word county
IL not enumerated among the corporations
banking associations, etc, mentioned in
the statute Nor can the word notes be
held to include county bonds. AMI | am.

proposed issue would not be taxable I'M

Under this ruling every county In Geor-
gia (or Virginia. may proceed to issue one
and two-dollar bonds TO be passed as cur
rency. We must add that as IL Is the
omission Of the word county" from the
Federal law that leaves everys county
free to issue such bonds. Congress would
probably soon incorporate that word into
the law If the Georgia scheme should be
carried out.

Action Of the People Of Appomattox


"a petition, signed by the county Judge
Of Appomattox and all the officers OF MS
court and other county officials, and many
OF the people. has been sent TO the POST
Office Department asking them to change
the name of the pOst-oilice at old Apo
mattox Courthouse back to Appomattox.
The people are very indignant over the
matter. and every man, woman. and chlld
able to write in the county. and. Indeed.
in the State. would gladly sign petit
ton asking that the Office at old Apo
mattox Courthouse be changed from sur
render back to Appomattox."
So writes our Appomattox county corre-
spondent. The fact that the petition re-
ferred to Is headed by the name Of the
Hon ID. \. Christian. judge of the county.
convinces us that 1t is in good form. and
that Il presents the case az 1t should be
presented to the post-onice authorities at
Washington.
That the petition will be denied we
have no fear. The post-ofiice authorities
will only be too glad to have the way
made smooth for them TO obey the voice
OF this country. All that they have been
waiting for has been formal application
such as they now have. for a change from
Surrender" to "Appomattox.
1t will be observed that the petition
headed by our distinguished friend. Judge
Christian. distinctly asks not only that
Surrender" be dropped. but that Apo

name at the locality where Lee and Grant
had their o-be-remembered meeting
on the 9Th OF April, 1865.
We assume that the petition will be
granted. That done, the new county-seat
can adopt any other name than "Appo>
mattox" that 1t pleases, but we should
like to see one agreed upon for use both
by the post-office officials and those Of
the railroad company.
About the time that the Southside Rail-
road Company was being built through
the county Of Appomattox Nebraska wac
admitted to the Union. Nebraska was
away out in the woods, and so was this
water-staton. Hence, 1t was thought that
Nebraska" would be a suitable name for
the railroad station and post-ofce. and
II was accordingly so called. Nebraska
has been the post-ofilce name from the
ante-bellum period; but of late the rail-
road station there has been called "Ap-
pomattox station" because II is the point
of departure from the Norfolk and West
ern road for passengers going 10 Apo

But back 10 our point: 1t rejoices us to
be able to say that the people Of Apo,

Union are at one in the opinion that Ap,
pomattox should have its old name back.

Our Currency.

In view OF the currency plank Of the
Democrats of Massachusetts. which de-
clares for gold and silver coins as "the
only legal tender" It will be interesting
to recur once more to the utterance OF the
Democratic National Convention OF 1897
on the currency question. We have had
occasion heretofore to maintain that no.
body knows just when the declaration OF
principles made by a national convention
ceases 10 be binding upon the members
OF the party whose convention put It
forth; and We are not going to assume
any new position on that question. we
accord TO our Democratic allies In Massa-
chusetts the right to erect their own plat
form. and TO "stand on the old ways"
to their hearts content. 1t is, neverthe-
less, as we said yesterday, a noteworthy
fact that so intelligent a body OF men as
the members Of the Democratic State Con-
yention of Massachusetts should be far
enough behind the times to Indulge IN
the Wild hope that silver and gold Will
ever hereafter constitute the sole legal
tender In this country. The bare sugges-
ton is redolent of doctrnaires. or mere
theorists. Yet, as we have said. the I'M
mistakable demand of the Massachusetts
Democrats is that nothing but coined
money shall be legal tender" These
same Massachusetts Democrats would. no
doubt, declare In favor OF silver dollars
containing bullion enough to make them
equal In value TO the gold dollars These
would be "cart-wheel dollars indeed,
and would soon become nuisance. Now
read the currency plank OF the Chicago
platform. 1t is as follows:
I'VE hold to the use OF both gold ana
silver as the standard money of the coun-
try. and TO the coinage OF both gold and
silver without discrimination against
either metal, or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit of coinage of both metals
must be of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value or be adjusted through
international agreement, or by sucn safe
guards Of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance Of the parity Of the two
metals and the equal power OF every dol
lar at all times in the markets and IN
payment OF debts; and we demand that
all paper currency shall be kept at par
with and redeemable in such coin. We
insist upon this policy as especially neces-
sary for the protection OF the farmers
and laboring classes, the first and most
defenceless victims Of unstable money
and fuctuating currency"
This plank says nothing as to what
ought TO be legal-tender currency. In
fact. 1t is so worded that both factions
Of the Democratic party claim that 1t is
on their side. But surely there is nothing
here In favor OF making gold and silver
coins the only legal-tender.

How to Raise Money for Road Taking.

How to Raise Money for Road Making.
Nothing that the Governor said in his
cxceuent address at the Exposition day
before yesterday was more timely IMAM
his appeal TO our people TO Improve theH
roads.
The highways OF this State. with few
executions. are not credtable to our peo-
,,e and our counties can never hope TO
nresent a thrifty appearance until they
have made a change in this respect h"'
road building means money-spendinS Ana
70 have money 70 spend the counties must
,ax their farmers and businessmen
There is no other way known TO ms
generation OF public functionaries where
by an empty treasury can be hlled iof
road-maling or any other purpose.
How. then. can we obtain what
we seek? Many people think that they
have found safe solution OF the prop
lem IN the proposition TO put. the peni-
tcntiarv convicis to work on the ROADS
I'M, in the first place there are not many
convicts VINO can be trusted. or halt way
trusted. when beyond the pr:son-wailS'
In the scc0ll place, unless worked III
very large gangs conyicts are not cheap
labor. In the third place, eight or nine
hundred OF the conyicts have been hired
70 contractors within the prison-walls for
long terms of service.
4 few Of our counties are at this time
using conyi,ts II some advantage; but
If we Virginians are really in earnest as
70 providing ourselves with good roads
the whole state over, We may as wei
make up our minds that the money there
for will have to come out OF the pockets
Of the taxpayers
I'm, IN. road-taxes need not be laid
eo as to make the burden a heavy one.
Let US first agree upon good system
n which the state shall give what help
fl is able to give, and work 1t up graau-
ally.
England, France ana Germany have
good roads. Some Of these were bullt
as military roads. and nearly all OF the
others are The products Of centuries OF
labor. The work has been done on them
little by little piece by piece, but always
50 that it would wear and last well.
We must adopt some such system as
that. We can't afford to make large
outlay at one time The work must be
done plcce-meal, but always 50 that
what is done one season Will not b.
washed away or worn away in the course
of the next yesr or two. Let US build
our roads to stay, and in the course OF
q decade or two We shall be surprised to
find how mich We have accomplished.
on the 18th instant convention VIII
be held in this city In the interest OF
good roads. and we earnestly trust that
its proceedings will lead to wise legisla-
ton and harmonious action on this very
important subject. The State should help
our country friends by providing for sur
yeys and estimates, but the main cost OF
road building will undoubtedly fall upon
the counties. But, a. we have said, we
consider 1t quite possible for us TO devise
a system which will be both economical
and reliable-a system which will lead to
gradual and permanent Improvement
Of all our county roads.
