1920 In 1894 the total value of real

CoRDELE. Ca, July 27.-Secretary of

Guided his brief tour of the State in the
interest Of sound money by addressing
crowd of several thousand people
fgathered here from all over southern
Georgia. Trains from Americas, Alb

during the morning, and they fairly
overlooked the little city.
Extraordinary preparations had been
made by the committees OF the Cordele
sound money league, however, and the
visiting thousands were promptly
handled and we'll entertained. mon
ster barbecue and several hundred
watermelons were provided wherewith to
feed the multitude, and during the
morning hours the scene WAS one of
tesivity.

On yesterday the telephone company
rendered the use OF their telephone at
Chas. d. Fox's drug store to TIMES
representative, who was shortly in con-
versation with representative of tho
LYnchburg News and Danville Register.
Every word spoken from either point
was as clear as could possibly be wished
for. Several news items were exchanged
and among other things the Lynchburg
man said that on account Of the excel
lent showing of the Roanoke baseball
club in the game with Lynchburg on
Thursday they won great many ad-
mirers, who thought their chance 30
good to win Fridays game that they
were willing "to make 1t interesting"
So strong were the convictions of one
young man from the Hill City that he
bet $3.50 on Roanoke. The News man
also added that Roanoke had the fastest
team seen on their grounds this season.

Its patrons and the public in general the

SOUTHERN California is indeed q
favored land. Apart fran Its beauty
and prolifcness in sub-tropical fruit. it
bids fair to enter the field as an OIL
producing country in a short time. A
dispatch from Los Angeles states that
one OF the deepest wells in the city has
suddenly started to gush out oil at such o
rate that 1t cannot be kept under con-
troll. 1t has overrun the neighborhood
and is still sending out oil at the rate
of eight hundred barrels day. This
may be bad for the orange groves in the
vicinity, but there is more money in
oil at any rate.

poRrsMoUTH,s GROWTH.

The Portsmouth Star in recent issu es
has given some gratifying figures of
the wonderful improvements made In
that city since 1880, OF which the fol-
lowing extracts are made.
Since 1880 the city has paved abou.
twenty miles of hor Streets sidewalks
with brick, roadwsys with Belgian
blocks and shells. Thus far about
100000 has been expended on this i'm.
proVement and the work is still
going on.
Since 1880 an extensive system of
water works has been completed, a
system designed to cover the require
ments OF city OF metropolitan proper
.ions. This improv ement involved she
expenditure of over 100000 and is a
private enterprise.
Since 1880 two electric light coma
panies have started up in GU. midst,
which, together with the gas company
previously in the field, furnish an
abundance OF illuminant and power st q
minimum cost.
Since 1880 Portsmouth has erected
three large and modern schoolhouses,
two for white and one for colored chill
dren, the cost, inclusive OF ground, be-
ing about $500 900.
Since 1880 Portsmouth has built
one OF tho handsomest market-armory
buildings In the South at cost of $500,
600.
Since 1880 Portsmouth has erected a
modern jail building costing, with land,
$4,000.
Since 1880 the banking capital and
surplus has more than quadrupled. In.
stead OF one bank. with capital of
$4,000. we now have three banks with
com bined capital and surplus OF $500, :
OOO
Besides these and other works of @
public character private enterprise has
done wonders for the growth and pros
perity OF Portsmouth, among the indus-
tries mentioned by the Star being the
Portsmouth Basket Works, with $50
hands; North Portsmouth Furniture
Factory, with 100 hands; the Virginia
Chemical Company and Haynor Manu-
featuring Company, both manufacturers
OF yeast powders, extracts and kindred
articles, and employing together about
$50 people; the Portsmouth Lumber
Manufacturing Company and Hitch
Lumber Company, together employing
500 men and with an annual output of
100000 feet of lumber; The Ameri-
can Fertilizer Company and the Norfolk
and Carolina Chemical Company, to-
gether representing capital Of 81 ,0oO.-

QOu6b.
THE VERDICT IN THE MAssEx CASE.
The celebrated libel suit of Hon. John
E. Massey. State superintendent of
schools, against the managers of the
Norfolk Pilot and others, came to a
close yesterday by che jury rendering q
verdict for plaintiff OF $1,000 damages
against Sam w. Small. the former
editor of the Pilot; R, e. Byrd an attor.
ney OF Winchester, Va, and the Pilot
Publishing Company. The suit was for
$4,000 damages and grew out of pubs
LEGATION in the Norfolk Pilot of an article
charging Superintendent Massey with
bribery in connection with his dealings
as an officer OF the State with the
American Book Company in the con-
tract for furnishing school books for
the children Of Virgins.
While the sum awarded ia not near as
large as the amount sued for, the verdict
Is nevertheless victory for the plsin-
tiff, who has been subjected to a great
deal OF unnecessary annoyance in the
course Of the trial by the latitude which
the court allowed the attorneys for the
defence in their examination:
While the press has certain privi-
leges which ought to be sacredly
guarded. when these privileges are
abused it should be amenable for any
derelictions or shortcomings. In the
publication against Mr.. Massey. the
then editor of the Pilot and business
managers assumed q grave RESPONSE
bllity, and that wrong was commit ed
in 80 doing, the verdict Of the jury
proves
position as an officer OF the State that
is concerned In this controversy as the
dangerous use made of a power, which
when properly directed Is one of the
safeguards of society and theisupports
OF honest government. The journalist
in the discharge of the duties of his
profession Is entrusted with many priv
ileges and in his use or abuse of
these privileges he demonstrates his
fitness for the position he holds. a
