Mr.. GrRe Willing to Take Free
Silver Dollars" in Exchange
For Lime.

In the Sun on Wednesday last, ap-
peared communication from the Car
son Lime Company, Of Riverton, War
rem County, Virginia, IS follows:
"Our chief lime works, are the Hoff-
man kins, capacity 1000 bushels per
day, which was stopped by the recent
flood, are now being prepared to re-
start on November 4, 1896. unless that
Bryan be elected. If he wins We
should not continue to run that kiln
in addition to our other kilDs making
lime, each barrel worth, say. 100 cents,
liable to be paid for in silver dollars,
which wou yield US for each barrel
but SO cents, ipstt ad OF 100 cents"
This palpapIe piece Of Inconsistency
al once caught the eye of Mr.. Wni. }.
Grove, secretary of he NJ. j. Grove,
Lime Company. of Lime Kiln, this
county, and he at once penned the fol-
lowing, which the Sun, much to the
surprise of all, published. 1t is as fol-
IOAs, My the italics did not appear in
the Sun:
Messrs. Editors: Under your head
ing AQOtD6T 6ct-LesSOh, you
quote what The Carson Lime Cumpa-
ny, at RivertOn, Warren County, Vir-
ginia, say in their letter to you Of the
4tb inst We feel sure the Messrs. Car
con are too good business men to stop
running their kilns, " whether Bryan or
Mckinley is elected, and we know
that they are still better business men
than to stop on account of the fear of
II Giving 53-cent dollar for a barrel
OF lime. We are willing TO obligate
ourselves TO continue business after
Bryan's election aud TO furnish the
Messrs. Carson or any of their Gust OH
ers Ill he lime they want and will ac-
cept in payment the Scent dollar of
which they speak, aud we haven't
any fear of not being able to pass this
| same SO cent dollar, as we are now
doing at 100 cents. We are sure the
MessTs. Carson " ould not take 80 cents
for what they term a SO cent dollar
now or when we have free coinage of
gold and silver at the ratio of Is to J..
| II the Messrs. Carson contemplate clos
ing their aOOrks in the event of Bryan s
election, they might haze deferred their
repairs until after the election.

ceived telegram from the Department
of Justice at Washington to-day, an
nouncing that pardon papers for Will

sons were convicted with Howard, one
of whom. DdGar Smith, recently died.
They always cfaimed that they were
duped into the work by Howard and
the Government evidently believed the
story. Howard's scheme was, to de-
fraud persons to whom he represented
that there were large fortunes waiting
for them in England. Twenty-one in
dictments were found against him.
His conviction Is said to have cost the
Government $4,000. The pardons are
granted upon the condition that these
persons shall report their place of resi-
dence to the United States District At
