wood to Joshua Counts. county and
circuit clerk, and will move to Wise.
There were several tracts of land
sold on judgments during this term of
couri. Several tracts were sold for less
than one dollar per acre, and the pur-
chasers would refuse fve dollars an
acre for these lands now. 1t seems to
be impossible for people to meet their
financial obligations, and hence these
forced sales.
Mac Austin, who killed Edward Cox
few days ago, is still at large and no
effort seems to be made to bring him to

without cause. Austin is about IS,

tiary, whittier he was cent from Wise
county. The murder was committed in

County court has just becn adjourned
here after being in session the greater
part of the past week. There was no
business of any importance transacted,
but there was general surprise when
two OF the county ofiicers rendered their
designations to tho court. 1t is so hard
matter here to secure an election to
Office that the people are not accus-
toned to thinking OF man surrendering
the honor and the salary of his own
volition, but yet such thing actually
occurred when l.. Fultop, the common
wealth's attorney. and James nj. Colley,
county treasurer. rendered their resigna-
tons this week. Fulton's resignation
was accepted and Russell S. McFall, a
young attorney of this place, appointed
to fill the vacancy. Colley says that,
owing to the hard times and the almost
utter impossibility to collect the taxes,
be is forced to take this step, but his
resignation has not yet been accepted,
though IL may be at the next term Of
court.

To THE EDITOR OF The TINES: Your
editorial this morning anent Colonel
Breckinridge and the PRESBYTERIAN
Church has just been read, and it will
be read with surprise by other Presby.
terians. The Presbytery OF Montgom.
cry has nothing to do with tho case of
Colonel Breckinridge. Colonel Brock
lnrldge had nothing whatever to do
with the case of Dr.. Briggs. DR.. Briggs
has not been expelled from the Presby-

Church. He never has been He has

been active in church assemblies and
work. Colonel Breckinridre, according
TO his own statement, united with the
church when young man. Like some
others he went astray, and held after
that only nominal connection with the
church. About the only occasion when
he appeared before an Assem- bly, OF the
church was when he delivered his ad-

THE TIMES has no desire 10 misrep
resent the position held by the Presby-
terian Church and Colonel Breckinridge.
The editorial comment in yesterdays
issue only briefly alluded to action
which it was presumed might appropri-
ately be taken by an organization of
this church Tho statement Colonel
Brecltinridge, as is generally under
stood, was closely identified with the
expulsion OF DR.. Briggs" was based
upon recent article in a leading daily
upon The TINES exchange list which
intima ted that prominent New York
lady and close friend of Dr. Briggs
had furnished money to Miss Pollard
for prosecuting Colonel Breckinridge;
and that she had been led to do this on
account Of his work in connection with
that famous ecclesiast ical trial. The
true position maintained by Colonel
breckenridge or any other person of
that name was not investigated and the
correction made by Or. Campbell serves
to straighten the matter out

ROANOKE, va, APRIL IS, 1894.

THE complicated status Of affairs in
the local political field renders the pri-
mary election to be held by the Demo-
cratic party in the several wards Of the
city to-day OF utmost Importance.
While it is apparent that the local
option controversy which for time
foreshadowed everything else is not to
be made an issue in the coming election,
the fact should not be lost sight of that
the nominees should be such men that
their candidacy will create no dissatis-
faction in the party from a wet" or
"dry" standpoint. The issue once
raised again may prove detrimental to
the party and the city's welfare. 1t is
necessary, also, now that strictly party
lines have been drawn in this election
for the Democracy of the city to place
in nomination their strongest and best
men, that the reputation Of the party +,
as being the party Of good government,
may be maintained. Men who can add
strength to the party and who can care
fully administer the affairs of the office
to which they are chosen are among the
candidates to BIO voted upon in to days
primary. 1t is to be hoped that no mis-
takes will be made in these selections
