Curlea
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:

To the Editor or the Dispatch:
Mr.. Wallace. Jr.. has not answered my
query az TO the deri, stion OF the name
OF Curle's. whether from a person or a
th.rg?
But the records cited by him show
that there was ''Curies' patent" which
is fair proof that one Curles. or his repre-
sentative. had procured a patent OF land
situated in the peninsula known as
Curles's Nick. The list Of patentees In
the Registers office goes back no further
than the year 1886. and the marginal
notes Of that period 'allude frequently to
"Curles" mot Curless Neck) as though
the name was as well known to the peo-
pie OF that time as OF this. a patent
was issued only by the President and
Council OF Virginia upon an appllca-
ton OF one who made affidavit that he
was entitled TO the same. by reason OF
owning certain dividends" or head
rights" which he produced and which
were asceriained 90 be correct by the
Secretary OF the Colony. Curles must
have gotten his patent in this way prior
20 the year 1856
Whence he came. or who he was no.
body appears TO know. A thorough search
by some enthusiastic antiquary amongst
collateral archives might lead TO dis
covery. which should prove highly in
teresting to the present generations OF
Nircinians QUERIST.
our impression-derived, we think, long
ago from that learned and painstaking
scarcher after historical facts, Il. A.
Brock, Esq-is that Curle's Neck was
named after Thomas Curle, who settled
there in 1910. Furthermore. we believe
that Mr. Brock has written one or more
articles calculating the subject but we
cannot lay our hands on them at THIS
moment.

THE MISTAKE OF A LIFETIME.
Virginia Popuiists Losing Many 'ofes ior
Their Refusal TO Accept Prohibition

fstaunton Correspondence of the New
York Voice.
There is a growing feeling everywhere
in Virginia that the Populist leaders

fusing to ratify at Lynchburg their agree

and In further refusing to allow the RAM
and file Of the POpulist delegates 10 VIZ
upon the question. Leading ProhlD'lohS's
everywhere announce a growing discoh-
tent among the rank ana HE OF inc
Populists. and many accessions IN cohSe-
ouence 10 the Prohibition party. Inc ioi-
lowing expressions have come u H''

Colonel J. r. Miller, Pulaski City: Inc

and il VIII not only injure that party IN
this campaign, but will result In large
accesslons to the Prohibition party from
the Populists from now on.
Major d. Humphreys. Norfolk: u be-
lieve that a large majority OF the deie-
gates in attendance upon the IopulSt
convention. exclusive of the leaders OF

and that il required a great amount OK
manipulation on the part OF their leading
men TO prevent an outspoken demand
for the presentation Of that plank, Inc
suuuros sion Of which was barely ac-
compl.shed by the use of parliamentary
strategy on the part of the managers
The effect is seen in tn detection OF
large number o. their voters.
W h. Kelley, Wythevillc: TT VIII be
very difficult matter for the Populists TO
excuse to the large temperance element
In their ranks the action OF their con-
yortion IN suppr ssing the prohibition

this matter was political cowardice. anu

degree disastrous TO their prospects IN

tcgration are already beginning 10 mani
