Ex-senator Camden,s Views.

Elk Senator Johnson N Camden
of West Virginia, who has, perhaps,
done more for the development OF
that State than any other man, is
now in New York, and to an inter
viewer expressed himself hopefully
in regard to the business and finan-
cial outlook, particularly in his own
State With the exception ofthe Elk
horn region, he says wages are adj
vancing and q friendliness pervades
the intercourse of miners and COM
panies. The iron and steel manu-
facturers, he says, are beginning to
feel the effects of the universal
business improvement. Generally,
wages have been voluntarily ad-
vaneed, and the laboring population
of the State is more fully employed
than it has been for the past two
years. Long delayed orders from
railroads and builders have been
rushed in upon the manufacturers,
with the result that many of them
are working overtime in order to
fill these orders. The iron and steel
mills of West Virginia are doing an
enormous business, and some of the
companies are having 4 hard tim
to find cars enough to transport
their product. 81 see no reason to
believe" continued Mr.. Camden,
"that this improvement in business
of all kinds will not keep on. We
are reaping the first financial fruits
of the Wilson bill. In my opinion
that measure is we'll calculated to
give this country the greatest pros
perity. The main difficulty with it
is that it has not been a law long
enough for the people to see for
themselves how beneficial it will be,
and how much better off the eoun-
try will be because of it. 1 take no
stock in the criticisms of our politi-
cal enemies that the new law will not
yield enough revenue to meet the
running expenses of the govern
ment." Mr.. Camden expresses the
confident belief that the Demo
cratic party will win next year on
an honest money platform.-Balti.

July 20, 1895.-The ladies of the
NJ. E Church, South, gave a dinner
and festival on Saturday, in the
grove adjoining the church yard.
There was a large crowd on the
grounds and the proceeds amounted
to about s35. By special request
Mrs. G. W. M. Hooff, of Point
Pleasant, gave them an address on
her trip to the great international
Epworth League convention at
Chattanooga, Tenn, which was
highly appreciated by very atten-
tive audience.

Government reports this year es-
innate that the wheat crop will
amount to 4O8,OOO,OOO bushels. 1t
is estimated that the corn crop will
reach the enormous total of 1853
100000 bushels, or nearly 55O,OOO,-
600 more than the largest crop ever
raised in the United States. As
government crop estimates are no.
toriOusly less than the actual truth,
there is reason to believe that these
figures will be shown to be approx
imately correct. A general advance
in wages is a mighty good thing,
but for sure enough good times
give us millions of bushels of wheat
and corn for foreign export.

Shoes rec
from shoddy, but with lots
of fit, style, and wear in
them, are the best sellers,
because the best wearers.
Such are
Little Giant Shoes,

The false and the low
prices and vague decept-
ions of merchants are the
chief characteristics of the
advertisements printed in
Point Pleasant newspapers
nowadays.
The honest merchant
who really has the except
ional low values to offer is
at a loss to know how to
advertise the facts, so that
the oft-bitten public will
believe him.
Remember we can and
do sell better goods at all
times for less money than
any store in town, but new
er have we sold goods so
cheaply as now.
Not only do we want to
sell what we've got, but
what you like and want
So that after you have
bought and paid for any
article you are under no
obligation to keep it, unless
it pleases you and meets
your requirements exactly;
otherwise bring it back
and get your money.

can find man who is willing to be
used as a tool to assist these sharks
in getting the people into adopting

The people have not the money
to put in the fight, but they have

Behold Another Dreamer COmetll.

Behold Another Dreamer COmeth.
For the Daily Register.
This dreamer in his vision did not
go to heaven, but he went to hell.
When he looked around to take in
the strange situation in which he
had been SO mysteriously plunged,
be saw an old friend, cIasped his
hand and remarked. L am surpris-
ed to see so many preachers here.
Oh, the old friend replied, too much
politics, too much politics.
This satanic majesty Cthe deviD
soon called a counsel of his angels to
determine the best means to recruit
their already large army. One big
corpulent fellow, who evidently had
drank a good deal of beer and bad
whiskey, said: 1 will go TO earth
for your business, and what will you
tell them. 1 will tell them there is
no he'll. Oh, nonsense, there bible
tells them there is a lake that burns
with fire and birthstone. You can't
go. Another poor, lean, lank fell
low, the victim oftobacco said will
go, and what will you tell them. 1
will tell them they cannot go to
heaven only through certain po-
litical party. Don't you know there
is neither marriage nor given in
marriage in heaven, and of course
there is no politics. You can't go.
The third one that offered his scr
vice was little fellow with a
voice piped in. will go
up to earth, and tell them not get.
Just wait u little before becoming
religious. The two old parties are
hair hung and reed shaken over
and will soon be numbered
with the things of the past, and
one will be erected upon the ruins
thereof. that is righteous and holy.
Then His satanic majesty standing
erect and assuming all the dignity
he was capable of and waving his
arm that was blackened with SCOT
and smoke from long contamina
ton with damned souls said 90, 90,
for that is a wise saying and will
bring m many new recruits for my

"The constitutional standard of

among other things to say:
Ifthis report be correct, and ] Judge
Goff's opinion be sustained as law, it
destroys all license taxes imposed
upon any business that represents
an article made in any other place
than the State where sold. Under
COTS opinion licenses for the sale
of beer, whiskey or tobacco are un-
constitutional provided the dealer
handles the product in the original
package. That is, if the whiskey
be put in one quarter pint bottles at
the distillerY and the same bottles
sold here no license tax can be col.
lected from the seller. If beer be
bottled outside the State and sold
here in the original bottles the
seller cannot be interfered with.

Some "gOld bug" papers which
we know are saying, ooh, times are
improving; the people are gaining
confidence and the silver craze is
dying out" It's true that times
are better, and it is also true that the
people are gaining confidence in the
old silver dollar. This is what is
doing it. We should like to know
where the creditof this government
and nation would be today were it
not for the inherent confidence
which the people have in the fact
that a dollar in silver is a dollar in
money. If the day should unfortu-
nateIy come when the cry of fifty
cent dollar will be believed by the
people, on that day this govern
ment will have neither credit at
home nor reputation abroad; for it
will not be able to carry out it's

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.-At King
George Court last Thursday the. Free
Lance had very pleasant interview
with Mr.. VIM. Rollins, which we pub
lish for the benefit of out readers. MIR.
Rollins conducts farming on a larger
scale than any other citizen OF King
George county, and he is perhaps the
largest farmer in the Northern Neck.
Mr.. Rollins is manEof means, and he.
made his money since the war at farm
ing. He owns the grand old estates
known SIS "Dogue," "Grantswood,"
"Clover Dale" and "Nanzatico," all in
King George county, and representing
more than 1000 acres, nearly all of
which is cleared and in high state of
cultivation. This has been hard year
OF the farmers. Mr.. Rollins says the
drought has cut his crops short at least
one third, yet he has made 1000 bush
els of corn, 1890 bushels of wheat, and
5000 bushels of oats. Mr.. Rollins also
raises stock and keeps forty head Of
horses and mules for use on his farms.
He expects to plant his usual acreage of
wheat this fall. Who can beat this in
Tidewater fredericksburg Lance.
