The Memorial Entertainment at
Cape Charles, on Thursday, was a
uccess in most respects. An i'm
mense crowd was in attendance,
beautiful and spacious grounds were
comfortably fitted up to receive them,
the tables were abundantly filed not
only with the necessaries but the
luxuries of life, we'll prepared and
temptingly served, excellent music
enlivened the exercises of the day
Daniel and Lee were there and de-
lighted the audience with their elo
quent and patriotic addresses. 1t
lacked one thing-effor at the proper
time to secure contributions from the
people to the monument fund. Had
it been made before the people were
tired out with the exercises of the
day and the most of them had left
the speakers stand, it is believed, that
thousand dollars or more could
have been raised. One fact was
demonstrated to our satisfaction that
the hearts of the people were in the
movement-they went there to give
and only failed to do it because they
were not asked. In every other re .
spect the entertainment was a sue
cess and without being advised as to
the receipts from the dinner and
otherwise, can say we believe, that
they were large. To remedy the mis-
take which was made, we suggest TO
the Camp, that papers asking con.
tributions be circulated in every part
of the Eastern Shore at once.

Money for Working Roads Pays Better.

We have very little apprehension
that the people of Virginia will vote
for the constitutional amendment
(Which, if the coming Legislature SO
order it, will be submitted to them in
1897 for going back to the old system
of compulsory labor on the public
roads. 1t is thing of the past, and
too expensive system to be repeated.
1t means paying out money year
after year for roads, and getting no
roads. The United States Office OF
Road Inquiry sent out to twenty .1lve
townships in New York that had
abandoned the compulsory system
and adopted the paid system, official
inquiries as to how the system they
had adopted worked. In that State
each towship has right to adopt
either system, paid or compulsory,
that it prefers.
OF the twenty five townships, all
but one reported that the change had
worked we'll. From the reports which
the government prints, we get many
expressions of the value OF the pald
over the old system, such as: Under
the old system in some cases 1t Is
simply a question Of putting in the
allotted time, without any view OF
improving the road; we have better
roads because they are worked up IN
proper season. lit is far the bestmethod;
under the new system we can get
better roads properly manased; We
receive more for the money raised In
this way; not only do we have better
roads, but / think it is a much cheaper
way: the money system is by far the
very best system; we have very much
better roads than under the old sys-
TEN of working them; the tax is so
low no one feels it; the roads are
much better in every way
And that is the tenor of the answers
more work, better roads and less
money expended. In one township
vote was taken on returning to the
old, compulsory labor system, and
the return was defeated by a large
majority. The same feeling, we be
lieve, will be found to exist in Vir-
gina. And, as proof of it, we see
that in Goochland, which, like other
Virginia counties, has had experience
of both systems, the Democratic
nominating convention last week
inserted in its platform opposition to
the adoption of the proposed amend
ment, (which would again inaugurate
the unjust and inefficient method OF
working the roads by involuntary
labor -Staunton indicator.

The State Democracy, led by
Charles S. Fairchild, left the New

city. After the departure of the
State men full ticket was nomina-
ted. Mr. Fairchild said his organiza-
ton would nominate local ticket.

The progress of the political cam
paign in Maryland is being watched
with increasing interest outside OF
that State and there could be but
one sentiment among the Democrats
Virginia as to the merits of the
contest and as to the interest all Of
rs should feel in the result. The
success of Mahoneism and the curses
which fell to the old State in being
handed over to Republicanism by
such a victory is too fresh in the
memory of her people, for us not to
sympathise with our Democratic
brethren in Maryland and to pray for
their deliverance from the false
friends, who claiming to be Demo
Gratis, run with the Republicans and
are now their most subservient
henchmen and allies. The people of
Virginia are not deceived By the false

Int q, Us or s sof re- Demo

Gratis of Maryland, nor can they con-
vince, We believe, the Democrats of
Maryland who love Democracy for
the principle it contains and not for
the spoils that there is in it, that it is
to their interest to vote against Mr..
Hurst for a man who like Mr..
Lowndes has openly proclaimed that
success is the Republican party in
Maryland now, means success in the
next Presidential campaign, and who
is charged, and is is believed, with
having served notice upon the people
of Maryland, that if he is elected, that
the offices shall be equally divided
between the two races. Mr.. Hurst's
Democracy no one doubts, that if
elected Governor, he will be unin
fiuenced by bosses and untrammelled
by cliques everybody believes and no
Democrat can vote against him un-
ess he has some private grievance he
wishes TO avenge or is deceived by
the false cry of those who claiming
to be Democrats, are fighting him.

If. as is stated, the corn production
of the Southern States will this year
reach 10000, 900 bushels, there will
be slight if any necessity for the
Southern planters to purchase corn
from the West. Indeed, they will
have surplus of that article to sell,
which, added to their cotton and
other crops, will cause them to occupy
a comfortable position during the
coming year.
