Wesleyan Female Institute.

The Wesleyan Female Institute,
at Staunton, which has had large
debt hanging over it for several
years is likely to be sold. The mat
ter came up at this session Of the
Southern Methodist annual confer
ence at Roanoke, and the follow
ing, which appeared in Mondays
Baltimore Sun. was agreed upon:
1T now looks as if the " esley-
an Female Institute, at Stanton,
one of the best known girls schools
in Virginia, will be permanently
closed at the end ot this scholastic
year. in June, and the property
will be sold at auction. The con-
ference board of education made a
report on Saturday declaring that
no practical plan had been devised
by which the school could be con-
tinued next session, AS the prop
erty is now in the hands of a re-
ceiyer, il will probably be sold UNI
der the hammer to satisfy the claims
against it, which amount to about
$4,000.
At IA forced sale it is said that the
property which occupies about
three acres in the heart Of Staun-
ton. would not bring much more
than half the amount of the claims
upon it. Many of the members OF
the conference say that while there
would be no legal claim upon the
conference for the balance due the
creditors above the amount for
which the property might sell, yet
there is a moral obligation to be
considered, and the question would
arise whether the conference would
not consider itself morally bound
to make up the difference by a Sc
ries of assessments upon the charg-
es. This wolld be a serious mat
ter, and some of the lay delegates
are discussing the edvisabilitv of

70 the United Confederate Veter-
ans Ecerymhere::
Your sixth annual reunion will
be held at Richmond, Virginia, on
the both June, LIST and I'd days of
july next.
Widely scattered since the war by
the ties Of family and old-time fire
sides, by the demands of business.
oy your natural energies, and by
the necessities Of life, YOU are COM
ing hOme-home to the city which
is yours by the supreme tests of
the rain of fire through which you
went, and of the sea of blood thro
which you passed, on the mission
Of her and the common defense.
You have been no prodigal sons,
for you inherited only the rem
nants of rapacious ravage that
was rampant everywhere IN yoar
land, because you had nothing left
but the manhood from which you
were insepdrable. But the fatted
calf shall be killed for you, and we
shall be merry together, not be-
cause of pity for your sins. but be-
cause pride in your fame demands
You shall traverse again the
streets which thrilled to the tread
of your legions while they were
passing to the ranks of the best
army that the world ever knew.
You shall be confronted by the
Virginians who were the comrades
Of your immortal glory and who
are your bIothers forever.
You shall see again the women
who nursed you back to ygor from
the fpeblene5s of wounds and want,
from the wretched woe Of your
losses, and who pointed the dying
gaze Of your fellows to the heaven
which stopped to enfold them.
Your eyes shall behold for them
selves the city which proudly wrap
ped herself in your patriotic flames,
from which she has emerged a
thing of beauty and JOY for al
ways. You shall revisit the battle
neldS which have been consecrated
by your blood, and where, if you
lost your country, you found a
fame that fills the world. Heartily
helped by our city and her citizens,
we are building for you place of
reunion in which ten thousand of
you may make the welkin ring to
the music Of Dixie and to the cho
rus Of the Rebel yell. On some ap
propriats day of the Reunion You
shall be part and parcel of the
rearing Of that monument which
shall be to Jefferson Davis, not
merely because he was your Presi-
dent and dwelt as such in the cap
ital of your Confederacy, but be-
cause he was the unspeakable type
of that ineffable manhood which
made the armies of the South.
During your stay here there will
be many bivouc. where, not i'll
bravadO or disloyalty, but for sweet
memory's sake, will be sung over
again the cd songs, told over again
the old tales, fought over the old
fights, yelled again the old yell, and
raised again the old flag.
Come, then. Come to our hearts
and homes and to these bivoucs.
Before we pass to the great beyond
we ought to have one more bout
and toast together. The toast shall
be to our own memories and to our
Confederate comrades wherever
they may be; but it shall carry
along with it a brave blessing for
our fellow-citizens everywhere, d
determined devotion to the safety,
honor and welfare of the entire
country. PEYTON W ioE,
Chairman.

Democrats IN Congress are deep
ly interested in the series of joint
an lncial debates between Secretary
Hoke Smith and ex-Speaker Crisp,
which begins at Augusta, Ga, this
week, and which will, it is believed
play al important part in deciding
not only who will be the successor
OF Senator Gordon whose term ex-
pires next March, but the financial
status of the Georgia delegation to
the Chicago convention. The per-
sonal relations of the two gentle
men are entirely pleasant so their
discussion will be limited to fnan-
cial matters. The majority OF the
democrats in Congress hold the
opinion that Mr.. Crisp will win the
senatorship and that the Georgia
delegation to the National Conven-
Mon will be for silver.

The County Roads.

Editor RECORDER:
think it time that some one
ought to call the attention of the
taxpayers to the way their money
has been spent on the roads. There
is surely enough money paid, if
spent with more economy, to give
us better roads. Let us see how
much it costs to nave bad roads.
In the first year under the present
law, for all the roads north II the
S. and P. pike, there was expended
FIVE dollars per mile and the hands
which numb ered one hundred.
The second year it cost $50 Cor AL
of said roads, with considerable" vol
unteer labor. The third year it
cost SCAT per mile, and the road
has been going down all the time.
which is patent to any casual OBJ
server. Such beirg the case, it
surely demands a remedy. My plan
is for the Board IF Supervisors to
compel the contractors to put their
roads up to the specifications, or
pay them nothing. am sure the
public monev should be handled
with as much care as private money
is. and just so long as contractors
are not held to their contracts, just
so long we will have no roads. The
management of the S. & p. road is
enough to open the eyes of the
public and make them look after
their interest.

Photographing the Sun.

One of the most interesting Sci
entitfc activities at the great lick
Observatory in California is solar
photography. The picture is tax
en- by d camera so arranged that
upon it's lens is reflected the great
ly enlarged view of the sun given
by the telescope. The results which
present the most inter est, perhaps,
are the photographs of the suns
spots. Many Of these, it has been
ascertained, are much larger than
the earth. Instead of remaining
stationary they move across the
disk of the sun, making IL rotation
in twenty-five days. A popularity
of the spots is that they have regu-
lar periods of growing and decreas-
ing in size and number, the inter-
val between two periods OF maxi
mum abundance and size averaging
about eleven years. Midway be-
tween these times, when the mini
mum period is reached, there are
DAYS and weeks in which not a
spot is visible. Photography has
already been useful in solar prob.
lens, and it is not unlikely that it
NAV be of material aid in solving
some of the questions which are
now perplexing astronomers.
Among the great obstacles in the
way of the solution of these prob
lens are the rapid changes which
the suns surface is constantly I'M
dergolng.- DemOreStS.

FOUND THEM GUILTY.

The trial of Walter Goode and
Robert Smith, for stealing wheat
from Greer. was concluded Tuesday
evening about 6 o'clock, and the
case given to the jury, which de-
cided in about three minutes that
the accused we're guilty as charged.
After the jury was polled, Justice
Moore discharged it and announced
that at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing he would pronounce sentence
upon them, and at the time set he
imposed q fine of $3.50 upon each,
and imprisonment in the county
Jail for three months. Goode an
nounced his intention of taking an
appeal.
The trial of the case brought out
the facts in so strong a light that
guilt was established beyond a
reasonable doubt. An attempt was
made to convince the jury that the
wheat was hauled upon Goodies
premises by his enemies for the
purpose of making him trouble, but
there was no evidence to sustain
this claim, and it was really too
silly for serious consideration. The
verdict is considered a just one,
and while the penalty fixed by the
court is only half the limit Of the
law, it is probably severe enough
considering that it is the first of
Tense of which Goode and Smith
have been convicted.
The second case against Goode
and Smith for stealing wheat has
been dismissed, as they gave up the
wheat and the prosecution was
