much effort is TO be put forth TO get out
the vote at the regular election.

was said to have been unanimous. In
Wythe the vote was unusually large
The supporters of Mr. Cumming took
no part In the affair--no judges, no

FARMVILLE, VA, September 3O.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Democratic convention was
held to-day at Cumberland Courthouse to
nominate a candidate to represent jointly
Buckingham and Cumberland in the next
Legislature. There was no opposition TO
the nomination of Colonel b. w. l.. Blan-
ton. of Cumberland, and he was chosen
by reclamation. Colonel Blanton is an
old wheel-horse in Democratic harness.
He has never been anything but staunch
party man. He made a rafting good
speech of acceptance. pledging himself to
the best interests of his constituents and
of his State. The usual resolutions were
adopted, endorsing the Chicago platform
and Hon. John. w. Daniels course as
Senator. A very masterful speech was
made oy Mr.. Charles NJ. Wallace, of
Richmond. There was considerable dis
appointment expressed at the failure OF
Mr.. Echols to show up. as he had been
advertised to make an address there to-
day.

have not yet recovered fully from the
effects of their terrible experience with
the recent West Indian hurricane. The
Cannon was bound from Jacksonville TO
Baltimore with a cargo of shingles, and
on September 2lst while OF the Carolina
coast, she ran into the hurricane. She
was directly in its path, and caught the
full measure of it's violence. Tremendous
seas repeatedly swept her decks, and
everything movable was carried away.
One by one the boats were swept from
their davits. and soon the crew were
left without means of escape. The water
poured down the matches. and the entire
crew had to man the pumps repeatedly.
The first night the schooner's masts were
carried away, and every stitch of her
canvas was lost. The dismasted and
helpless hulk fioundered about in. the ter
rible storm. and for three days the seven
lives aboard her hung in the balance. Cap
