stanton and the Democratic State
Convention.
(Staunton Vindicator.)


We see that Lynchburg and Roanoke.
both good cities, are actively competing
for the State Democratic Convention.
Surely the Democrats of those cities
cannot be serious about getting IL away
from Stanton, whose City Council Is
already making preparations for its pro-
per and fitting reception Forty years
have elapsed since this city had Demo-
cratic State convention; and since that
time 1t has had one Republican State
convention and IL on the eve Of having
another. Surely our Democratic breth-
rem OF the State must feel that they
are under some obligation at least TO
give this section something like the
same consideration the Republicans show
it. stanton asks for the State con-
vention purely on party considerations,
and for the benefit OF the party. She
has no thought OF profit by IL, for all
of us know In advance that a State
convention OF Democrats in Virginia this
year will not be OF Overwhelming pro-
portions. or stay very long. 1t Is an Off
year In that respect. We do not think
we will be far wrong in urging the State
committeeman from Lynchburg and Roa-
ncke to favor Stanton, after giving
their own towns the compliment OF a good
word. They are good Democrats. and
must recognize the fact that IL Is time
a State convention was held in this Val
lev The committeeman from the Tenth
District will present our case. and we
trust largely to the wisdom and generosi-
ty Of their brother-Democrats on the
committee to recognize II.

What Is Appendicitiss

To the Editor or the Dispatch:
Please pronounce the word appendicitis.
and tell me Is It true that it is a dis
ease caused by eating fruits with small
seed. such as figs. strawberries. apples.

what Is the popular opinion. and describe

ESSEX.
Appendicitis observation-disclosures on
the next TO the last syllable) means in
fammation of the appendix. The appen-
dix vermiformis is blind tube about the
size of a goose-quill, and from four to
six inches long. 1t opens into the intesti-
nal canal near the junction of the larger
and small bowel. In man-i has no func-
tion--in some Of the tower animals It
serves a useful purpose-and Darwin, in
his theory OF evolution. bases one Of his
strongest arguments on this fact.
The causes of appendicitis have never
been satisfactorily determined. At first
entrance OF some foreign body into the
cavity. but further investigation showed
that this explanation was true In but few
instances. A prominent surgeon OF this
city. in a recent article on the subject.
states that he has never found seed
In the appendix In any OF the many cases
upon which he has operated.
The symptoms OF appendicitis consist in
sudden pain In the abdomen. great tender
