Healthy Old Age

is the result of care
full living. Keeping
the blood pure and
the body free from
even minor ailments
adds years of enjoy
ment TO ones life.
The trouble with
most of us nova
days is, that we live
too rapidly. We are
in such a hurry to
go some place, or do
some thing, that the
care of our bodily
health is wofully
neglected. Nature
never pardons neg
lect. Her laws must
be respected, or pun
ishment ensues.
A man may abuse
his stomach for a
time, but after awhile
dyspepsia comes and
liver complaints and
kidney troubles.

What is said of the Verdict.

Massey is reported as saying that SC
far as his ability to collect from the de-
PENDANTS is concerned, a verdict fol
81, 600 is as good as one for $50, 1000.
In answer to a query for an expires.
sion of opinion on the verdict, Gov.
ernor O'Ferrall wired:
ALLLGHANY SPRINGS, Va, July 81.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch, Rich
mopd Va:
Replying to your telegram, l will say
that the verdict convicts the writers
and publishers as libellers, and thor
oughly vindicates Mr.. Massey; but the
damages awarded are too small to deter
libellous journalism for gain and sensa-
tional purposes in Virginia.

To the Editor at the Dispatch:

John 5. Wise on John E. Wise.

A special to the Richmond State
dated Norfolk, July 25th, says
Yesterday was Johnnie Wise's day
in the Massey Pilot suit, and Mr.. Wise
found the opportunity which he has
doubtless longed for to get in one more
lick at his old enemy. And it was an
opportunity which he did not neglect.
OF its kind it was a great speech and
may be fifty characterized as the elo-
quence of vituperation. Never, per-
haps, in the history of Virginia has one
man sat within the same room and
heard such a merciless denunciation of
himself as that which Mr.. Massey heard
yesterday afternoon from the lips of
Mr.. Wise. He called him mean, he
called him dishonest. he called him a
rascal, sneak, hypocrite, a devil in
the livery of God, liar, money-lover.
a tEief who robbed the State and his
creditors, a heartless miser who con-
signed his grandchild to charitable
institution. and who palmed off on his
wife the worthless stock of a boom-town
company. He was not content with
this. He tried to make the jury be-
Iieve that all that he said of Mr. Massey
was true, and that he had no character
to lose. That if Massey was not bribed,
as the Pilot accused him, he was hid
ing his money away for rascally pur-
pose, and that there was no difference
between bribery and rascality. In con
clusion. he asked the jury to send Mas
sey home with the verdict of their con-
tempt and the mark of the scorn upon
him and doom him for the few years
that remain to him to a life of shame
and disgrace.
1t was an awful thing, this last ap-
peal of Mr.. Wise to the jury, to put the
brand of disgrace upon an old man. l
never heard its like before; l hope l
shall never hear it again. 1t seemed
to me to hiss with the hatred of hell. 1
may do Mr.. Wise an injustice. 1t may
be that l have mistaken contempt for
hatred. Lssimply give my impressions
and give him the benefit of the doubt.
And what of Mr.. Massey? He sat
and listened with the countenance of a
stole and kept his eye on Mr.. Wise.
When the speech was done asked Mr..
Massey how he felt. II don't know"
he replied. 81 hardly have grace suf-
ficient to endure what l have had to
pass through this afternoon"
Much to the regret of his many adj
mirers, Judge Wake, of Mr.. Massey's
counsel, was taken sick and was not
able to make the closing speech for tn e
plaintiff this morning."

DAMAGES 1000.

Verdict in the Massey-Pilot Libel Suit.
The argument in the Massey Pilot
libel suit was concluded on Friday,
when the case was submitted to the
Jury. The verdict was not rendered
till 2.20 p. IN. Saturday when they rem
dered the following verdict
I'VE the jury find for the plaintiff
against the Pilot Publishing Compa-
ny, Samuel w. Small and R. E. Byrd,
and assess his damages at 81, 800, (fif-
teen hundred of which we estimate as
punitive damages and one hundred as
actual damages). And as to the other
defendants (the directors) we find them
not guilty.
A special to the Richmond State
says
'"There was never any disagreement
as to verdict for plaintiff. but jurors
were wide apart as to amount of dam
ages; some contending for full amount
claimed; but some of the jurors held
out that the plaintiff had not been
materially damaged, and the verdict
was a compromise. In other words,
the verdict as it stands is more in the
nature of a rebuke to the Pilot than a
vindication of the plaintiff. Such is
the inevitable conclusion. Mr.. Massey
sat in court all the morning reading.
The verdict is a stunning blow to
him, but he showed no emotion. When
asked if he had anything to say, he re-
piled: mo; the verdict so astounds
me cannot understand its meaning"
The Counsel for the defense made a
motion to set aside the. verdict, but
the court overruled that motion.
"a prominent juror says there was
not doubt in the minds of the jury of
Mr.. Massey's innocence of charge of
bribery and the verdict is complete
of that charge, but Mr..
Massey's testimony as to money in the
secret drawer was much against him
with some jurors, and but for this the
verdict would have been very differ
ent.
The majority yielded to the minority
for a small verdict, because they knew
that hung jury would indicate that
Mr.. Massey was guilty, and they could
not permit such an impression to go
abroad"
