Judge 0. W. Buchanan is beng
highly complimented for the able
manner in which he presided at
our recent term of court mere. His
rulings were prompt on all points
raised before him and showed a
judicial acumen seldom seen in
Que of his years. Besides being
one of the best judges on the bench
he made one of the ablest attorney
generals tie State ever had.
tits reported that he will be the
successor of Hon. w. H. Ellerbe
as governor. In fact many Refor-
mers insisted that he enter the re-

He did speak there as scheduled

has moved little too far and toe
fast and that it is time to call a

last night, by Grand Patron j. G.

yesterday and the sheriff kicked
him out of the saloon. When he

his friends would take him away

came back and stole some bottles
Of the wine from the back gallery.
The servants complained and the
boys began throwing rocks at the
house, one Of which struck Adolph
Krakauer. The mounted police
were summoned, but the assail.

Agricultural and Live Stock as
ISOLATION, after spending several
days in the city in the interest of
the fair left today for points west
on the "Sunset Route" He is
pleased over the success which
he has had while here and
expressed a belief that the best
and most profound thinkers among
his people will do all they
can in furtherance of the fair
project. "The encouragement"
says he," given by our white
friends to this laudable undertake
ing is of no little magnitude. The
large dailies of the several cities in
Texas publish gratuitously such
matter as is furnished them. They
have assured US that whatever can
be done OF subserve the best in
terest to the fair will be done.
Some of the best colored citizens of
San Antonio are members of the
local board. Mrs. NJ. d. Brown
has been appointed as chairman of
the local board of lady managers.
Any lady in the city having ex.
hibits for the fair should report to
her at 524 Nolan street."

FORT WORTH SHUT OUT.
The BronohOs Gave the Panthers Severe
Drubbing Yesterday.

| ln6 DIOuClOS UaVe ln6 IdnbneIS oeVer
| Drubbing Yesterday,
The Bronchos knocked the
Panthers into a trance yesterday
The team played fast ball behind
Tim Nevin, only two errors being
made, neither of which proved
costly. 1t Is undoubtedly Fort
Worth's hardest defeat OF the sea-
son, and it couldn't have happened
at better time or place.
The locals had no trouble in find
ing Keefe, and landed on him from
the start. But the bombardment
commenced in the seventh inning.
and the rooters were electrified
when the Bronchos Knocked the
ball to all corners of the lot, and
the Panthers fell over each other
chasing the balls, which left blue
streaks behind them. 1t was a
moment OF wild excitement when
Broncho after Broncho crossed the
plate and piled up runs. Every
body hit the ball where the field
ers couldn't get it.
Fort Worth had not yet scored
and the only hope was that it
would be clean shut.out. A shut
out it was and the mighty yell
that went up after the game was
deafening. When Tim Nevin came
in from the field, his face surround
ed with smile, a mum Der met him
and congratulated him on his vic
tory, which is his third from the
Panthers.
The home team put up splen-
did game in the field. The work
Of Mike Lawrence in centre is es-
pecially deserving of mention. He
made two catches after long runs,
both of which looked like safe hits,
and the rooters almost had fit
when Mike spoiled them.
McAllister relieved Keefe in the
eighth inning, but too late to head
of the Bronchos. He did not use
any speed and gave the locals a
chance to fatten their batting av.
erage.
In the eighth inning Nevin was
struck on the right leg by line
hit from Wolover's bat, which al
most knocked the big southpaw
down. His leg is badly bruised
where the ball hit, just above the
knee.
"Crip" worked his rabbits foot
to a finish and when Sham Myers,
Of the visiting team, wanted to
take it away from him he went
for the Fort Worth captain with a
bat.
The crowd was unusually large
for weekday, and the ladies' sec.
tion OF the grandstand was we'll
filed.

resulted as follows:
At San Antonio-San Antonio 10,
Fort Worth 0.

THE late Professor Huxley's def
milton of liberal education is so
good that it is worth committing to
memory. "That man." said he,
" has d liberal education who has
been so trained in youth that his
body is the ready servant of his will,
and does with ease and pleasure all
the work that, as a mechanism, it is
capable of; whose intellect is q clear,
cold logic engine, with all its parts of
equal strength and i'm smooth work
ing order, ready, like steam engine,
to he turned to any kind of work,
and spin the g0ssamers as we'll as
forge the anchors of the mind ;
whose mind is stored with knowl-
edge of the great and fundamental
truths of nature and Of the laws of
her operations; one who, no stunted
ascetic, is full of life and fire, but
whose passions are trained to come
to halt by a vigorous will, the ser.
want of tender conscience; who
has learned to love all beauty,
whether of nature or of art, to hate
all vileness, and to respect others as
himself. Such one, and no other,
has had liberal education"

In few minute sail the others had

were reposing peacefully on the floor

LEWIsBURG, VIRGINIA. THURSDAY

decrease in the volume of money
the price of commodities falls.
81. What proof is there that this
law is true?
The ablest writer's on econom-
les in Europe and America and the
experience of our own and other
countries teach this. In Australia
and California, for example, when
the gold mines were yielding bounti-
fully times were good but now that
the mines, especially those of Aus
tralia, have become nearly exhausted
the times are hard and prices exceed
ingly low.
32. Is it not true that the present
low price of commodities is mainly
due to improvements in machinery,
ETC.?
Some authorities are willing to
concede to this cause 6 or per cent.
of the fall in prices which has oc-
Cured during the last twenty-five
years; but other authorities contend
that the improvements III the meth
ods of mining gold and silver, which
have been great, will fully offset all
this decline.
33. Is it not true that the low price
OF commodities, especially manu-
featured articles, is due to overpro-
duction?
There has been an increase of pro.
duction in many articles, but in gen
eral not an over-production. The
benefits of an increase of production
should go to the producer and not to
the nom producer. Money should in.
crease with commodities and busi-
ness to such an extent that the gen.
eral average of prices may be pre-
served.
34. Have not the low prices of
wheat and cotton been caused by the
increased competition of India and
other counties?
The increased production of these
articles has not kept pace with the
worlds per capita of population, but
our wheat and cotton growers are
now only receiving the gold price of
silver for their products while those
in silver standard countries-their
main comprehensive receiving it's
mint or coin price for theirs. For
many years past the price of wheat
and cotton has followed very closely
the price of silver bullion. Hence
every advance in tho price of silver
is benefit to our wheat and cotton
growers, and this is the reason why
our Northern farmers and our South
ern planters are so universally favor
ing free coinage of silver.

lDLENESS, It's VARIETIES
ldleneSs plays many parts. There
are the cOnstitutionally indolent-
those who, like DR.. Johnson, are
never, physically, ready to get up
in the morning, but who, like him,
are possessed of a conscience which
compels them now and again to face
the reflection of what they have
compared with what they might
haVe-done, and to stand aghast at
the comparison.
There are those whom circum-
stances have made idle-riches, alb
sence of motive for exertion i'll
health, real or fanciful; indulgent
friends, and much more often by
Selt-indulgenCe. That idleness is one
of the seven deadly sins gives them
no sort Of concern; it is Of the es-
sence of their complaint to have no
feeling of their own infirmity.-
They are asleep; they cannot tell
their dreams, for they do not even
know they have been dreaming.
Giving up, nerveless relaxation,
has become a habit, and to them-as
to the immortal Mr.. Toots, though
from different motive-nothing is
or any consequence. But whereas
it was his own convenience, his own
feelings, his own comfort, that never
were of consequence to the unselfish
Toots, it is precisely your convent
ence, your feelings, your comfort
that are, to the idle man, of no con-
sequence. Floating idly about on
"the great Pacific Ocean of Indo-
lence," he makes first one compro-
mise, then another, with self.respect,
until he ends by sacrificing the es-
TEEN of his fellow-men on the pri-
vate altar of his own sloth. His af-
fairs get first muddled, then embar-
rassed, then decaying, then desper-
ate; and he feebly flatters himself
with an idea of repose, now that all
is gone.
