South River Farmers and Farming

A Botetourt correspondent of the Clifton
F Forge Review. who has returned from a
visit to friends in South River District,
Augusta, thus writes about it:
| My friend G. w. G. Karnes, has five large
barns on his farm, three of them crowded
with hay. He is now threshing his wheat,
| which has yielded from 35 bushels sowing
nearly 900 bushels. You can hear in
almost every direction the whistle of the
thresher and hay baler. The crops of hay
in this section run to the farm from 40 to
| $50 tons: clover seed from few bushels up
to IS bushels, with some large crops of
wheat. 1t was my pleasure to visit few
of the neighbors. They were all on the Old
| Virginia gentlemen style-kind, hospitable
and very entertaining. The ladies Of this
! neighborhood are highly entertaining, a nd
| know how to get upa good dinner and serve
it. Farmers in this locality are more pro-
gressive than in some of their neighboring
| counties. There is telephone in almost
every farm house, which gives them COM
| munication with each other and also all
pOlIlUS w lUulu q lduluo VI llCCCu VI VWClVy
miles around to places where they have
business. They rarely ever fail after sup
per when the days work is over to have a
social chat through the phones. Sometimes
as many as half dozen, each at his house,
are engaged in conversation with each other
as though they were face to face. The
telephone has been used in this section less
than two years, and now there are hundreds
of miles Of wire up and a telephone in most
of the farm houses. This shows how it
has grown in popularity; it has only to lie
used short time to be appreciated. The
people here put up their own telephone
lines and own the phones, The cost, where
a neighborhood joins together is small, and
there is no other expense att ched. This
neighborhood is dotted over with school
houses and nice churches.

Life Insurance Case in the Court of
Appeals.

George W. Suryick VS.. Valley Mutual
Life Association, etc. From the Corpora
ton Court of the City of Staunton. Affir-
med. Opinion by J. A. Buchanan.
In this case the Court held that parties
have the right to agree that notice shall
he giveu for assessments, and if the agree
ment be that notice may be given by mail,
it is sufficient to prove the mailing, al
though the party may never receive the
notice, and failure to pay the assessment
within the time prescri bed gives the COM
pany the right to declare the policy forfeit
ed.
Where the company has declared the
policy forfeited for the non-payment of
such assessment, and there is nothing in
the practice of the company and it's course
OF dealing with the insured and others,
and known to him, such as to induce the
belief that SO much of his contract as pro-
vlded for the forfeiture, for the non-pay
ment OF such assessment would not be in
sisted upon. court of equity has no power
to set aside the forfeiture and reinstate the
policy.
Where the contract between the parties
provides that no question shall be raised as
to the right to make, OIL the necessity of
making any mortality assessment except
in the lifetime OF the member, OF within
six months from the time when the assess
ment was made, and not then, unless such
assessment Shall have been paid within
thirty days from the date of the notice in
person, OF from the date Of mailing the no
tice to the address of the member, no CUES
tioh can be raised as to the right of the
defendant company to make such assess
ment, Oh the necessity for making it., I'M
less it is raised within the time prescribed,
and the conditions upon which it can be
raised have been complied with.

A Chance for Another Trial.

The Court of Appeals on Monday grant
ed writ of error and supersedeas in til,
case of Solomon Marable convicted of tn,
murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Pollard Of Lu
nenburg, sentenced to death in the county
court of that county, and who is now un
der respite by Gov. O'Ferrall till October
18th. The argument for new trial will
be heard at the Richmond term Of the
Court of Appeals which begins November
18th.
Marable' s petition to the Court of APP
peals for new trial set out the same
grounds for new trial as those presented
by the women, but he made this addition
al point-that the call by the Common
wealth's Attorney, Judge, and Sheriff OF
Lunenburg county upon the Governor for
troops, the affidavits of Major Derbyshire
and Captain Cunningham, showing that
troops were necessary all through the trial
to save the prisoner from the fury OF the
of mob, and the order of the Judge that
they should be taken from Lunenburg
county as soon as they were convicted and
lodged in the Richmond Jail all these and
other facts seem to prove that the people
of Lunenburg were under such state of
excitement and intimidation that no fair
and impartial jury could be gotten to try
them in the county of Lunenburg.
THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.
The fourteenth amendment to the Con-
stjtution of the United States provides
that no State shall deprive any person OF
life, liberty, OF property without due pro
cess of law. These words, ''due process OF
law," have been very much discussed but it
isagreed by all that they mesa that the pro-
cess, whatever it may be, shall be such as
will securea fair and impartial trial. The
prohibition of the amendment is that mo
State SHALL, Sc.
The Supreme Court OF the United States
held, in ex parte Virginia, 100 U. S. r..
that the State is forbidden by the amend
ment to deprive person of life, liberty, OF
property without due process OF law
through the action of her courts as W ell as
through the action Of her Legislature.
ne pCllClOIlcI UllClClOIC3
when the County Court of Lunenburg tried
him before a jury, necessarily affected by
the general state of terror and intimidation
prevailing in the county, the State deprived
him of his liberty, and is about to deprive
him of his life, without due process Of law.
WHAT MARABLE SAYS,
When Marable as told Monday IN Jail
at Richmond by Richmond Times repor-
ter that the Court of Appeals had granted a
writ OF error in his case and that it was
thought likely that he would be given a
new trial, his face lighted up, but he did
not indulge in any manifestations of de-
light. In reply to questions, he said that if
the court should grant him a new trial,
and he were put upon the stand, his testi-
mony would be in keeping withhis confess
ion, which has been made public, stating
positively that the women, Mary Aber-
nathy and Pokey and Mary Barn es are
innocent.

Local Echoes from the L0uisburq
Reunion.
from the Greenbrier w. Va,
Independent.

from the GfeenDflef w. Va,
Independent.
AS we anticipated all were delighted with
the splendid speeches delivered here at our
Confederate Reunion last week by Capt.
James Bumgardner Jr., of Staunton, and
Capt. Micajah, Woods, of Charlottesville
Capt. Bnmgardner's speech was well pre-
pared, eloquent and splendid tribute to the
valor, fortitude and great achievements of
the Confederate soldier, was most impress
sively delivered, and in all respects worthy
of the great occasion. Some Of the instan-
ces of conspicuous bravery and heroic
achievement recounted by him wrought u p
his old comrades to the highest pitch of
enthusiasm.
Edgar's Battalion the largest infantry
command present, the same that thirty
three years ago saved Lewisburg from the
memorable night attack Of cavalry, and sent
them broken and defeated back to Charles
ton, had the post of honor. and with 100
men in line, under Capt. T. G. Morton, Of
Staunton. the senior officer present, led the
giment following it, as they marched be-
tween the double line of cheering citizens
on the sidewalks, were frequently reminded
of the summer day 1868, when they march
ed through the same streets returning from
their signal victory over Averill at the
White Sulphur. saluted and cheered by the
grateful citizens as their saviours and de-
tenders. There were no gay streamers OF
flag bedecked arches overhead then, but the
God bless yous" from the grey haired old
men and the wavings of hankerchiefs and
glad smiles of fair women made hearts feel
prouder then than ever before OF since
Our people will always feel grateful to
the gentlemen composing the Blackford
Concert Band OF Staunton, Va, for their
presence here at our great Reunion last
week. They charged us nothing for the
splendid music with which they enlivened
the occasion, only asking that their travel
ing expences be paid, which, of course,
was done. They were very accommodating.
and, though receiving nothing but kindness
and hospitality for their services, were al
ways ready to respond when music was call
ed for. During their brief stay here the
hills around the old town echoed almost
constantly with Dixie and other Southern
airs.-This band proposes to come to Lew.
isburg some time this winter to give
musical concert. We feel that we can as.
sure them of another cordial welcome.

Mr.. J. W. Patterson, miller and assis-

charged by Daniel Strickler-the forged
check passer-with having prepared the
checks for him, was examined before JUS
tices Kinney and Lupton, Saturday, and
discharged. Stricken, who has told SO
many different tales about the matter since
his arrest, giving the names of no less than
three men whom he declared gave him the
checks, was the only witness against Pat

he had skill enough to prepare the checks.
and that accomplish is expected to be
