The commanding general of the
army has handed down an Important
decision in reference to married men

intervening. AS neither the soldier or
his wife are entitled to claim or privi-

proper administration, no detriment
to the service need result. This decis-

THE soUTH's OPPORTUNITY.

Our industrial supremacy is slowly hut
surely receiving substantial recognition,
says the Atlanta Constitution:
a recent dispatch from Australia states
that the government of New South''Wales
has decided, after carefully Investigating
the steel products of Great Britain, Ger
many and the United States, to make its
purchases in this market, and that, nc.
cordingly, an order for 1000 tons of the
best American steel rails will shortly be
placed with one of our leading indus
trial establishments.
At the present time most of the steel
products exported from this country are
manufactured in the northeast: but why
should any other section of the country
outstrip the South in athe smanufacture
Of steel products when mature has Law
ishly. endowed our soil with iron ore and
made it possible for, us to produce the
finest quality of steel in existence?
This statement Is made in no provincial
or narrow-minded spirit, but in sober re-
gard for the undisputed truth. Our soil
is literally encountered with granite,
marble, iron, coal and other minerals, and
nothing is needed to develop these re-
sources but capital. Steel ..of better
quality can be made at less cost in the
South than in the North, and why should
capital hesitate for any greater length of
time than is absolutely needed to estab-
lish this facti

LAMB NOT RECOGNIZED.
Park Agnew Says Any One Can Call a
Convention and Name Candidates.

L al <hSuSM odys ANY One Gan Gall n
Convention and Name Candidates.
Lynchburg, Va, Oct. S.-Park Agnew,
chairman o. the antiLamb faction of the
Republican party of the State, returned
to-day from visit to Washington and to
his home in Alexandria. Mr. Agnew was
out of the city when the Lamb conven-
ton was held, having left here on last
Saturday, and states that he has been
very busily engaged ever since that time.
In response to a question by your cor
respondent Mr.. Agnew said that ..he and
his friends did not think that the Lam b
convention would be given serious con-
sdera ton, "The convention" he de-
clared. twas held without any authority
whatever, and could have no more weight
than any ordinary mass meeting
Why" continued Mr.. Agnew, "any-
body in any party could call meeting
and make nominations, but the fact that
this Is done does not by any means give
it the necessary weight OF authority.
The Lamb convention was something en-
tirely outside of the regular Republican
party organization Of the State, and it
not only has not been recognized, but
do not think that it ever will be"
"liave you any idea as TO the possible
strength of the Lamb faction in the
State" Mr.. Agnew was asked.
That is purely matter of specula-
ton. have no accurate information on
the subject and would not like 10 venture

MAJOR TYLER'S LUCK.

Some men contend that there is no
such thing as luck in the final trend of
events Cover ming individual affairs OF the
destinies of nations, but that the chain
of circumstances set in motion at the
beginning is so connected as to lead to
success, disaster or that middle course
which may emoody a fair proportion Of
both. III other words, Gas we SOW, so
shall we reap" not only in the affairs of
life, hut in the world to come. This
theory, however, is denied by many and
Solomon, the wisest Of men, after thor
oughly sitting all knowledge available 10
him, came to the conclusion that time
and chance govern everything, and that
all the prizes and pleasures of the world
brought only vanity and vexation of
spirit.
Now, as Solomon. notwithstanding his
great wisdom, followed strange gods in
the latter part of his life, it would net be
perhaps well to take him as shining ex-
ample of the knowledge which leads men
to that better life beyond the grave but
his success in accommodating the wealth
of this world certainly entities his
opinion in material affairs to much
weight. He undoubtedly drank deep of
the draughts of human wisdom; but in
doing so he wandered from the source of
all knowledge, the God of the Israelites
and of his father David. The latter,
though his mistakes were many, trusted
implicitly in that Providence who raised
him from an humble shepherd to power
full king and allowed him to transmit his
kingdom 10 his son and successor.
While Solomon was wise enough to hold
on 70 what he had received and add
thereto, when he was dead the kingdom
was divided and so renal ned for many
years.
In the lives of these two men is fur
nished an illustration of the two
branches of philosophy upon which man.
kind is divided to-day. nDavid's kingdom
was promised to be an eternal but a

GENERAL ..DE.dAND FOR POSTAL
BANKS

No proposition that has come before
the people of late years has received such
general and hearty approval from the
press of the entire country as the plan for
the establishments of postal savings banks
Not only do the big dailies of the cities as
Il rule approve of the agitation, but the
newspapers in the smaller towns almost
without exception commend the move
ment.
While the comments in the news
papers of the North and West are most
numerous, the press of the East and
South is by no means backward lin sup
porting the agitation. Occasionally AN
oid-ti"c Democratic paper of the South
opposes the plan on the ground that it is
not the function of the government to do
anything more than collect the revenues
and protect life and property. hese are
the extreme representatives of the school
which holds that the government is best
which governs itself. But for the most
part the papers of the South support the
movement for POSTAL banks, and call at
tention to the especial need of them in
that section OF the country, where banks
OF all Kinds are scarce and where places
Of safe deposit for small savings are very
far apart.
In examining the many hundreds cf ex-
changes that come into city newspaper
office from all parts of the country one
cannot but be impressed with the atten-
ton given to the subject of postal banks
and the generally favorable comment
This discussion of the subject in the
press OF the whole country must have
the effect of preparing the minds Of Con-
gressmen' for speedy action AS soon as
they shall meet again in Washington.
The unanimity of the.press is sure indi-
cation that the people desire the estab
lishment of postal savings banks Chi

great knowledge which it was claimed he
possessed has been lost forever to the
world. So. as far as the material affairs
of this world are concerned, the natural
inference to be drawn from past records
and the general current of events is that
while wisdom may do much towards
shaping human affairs, circumstances
plans fail to accomplish what their orig
inators proposed.
This happens in all worldly pursuits
with such .persistency that many men,
with the best intentions and the
strongest eXertions, fail so uniformly In
whatever they attempt as to be denomin-
a,ed unlucky by their fellows, while
others seem alw, Us to be SO favored by
time and circumstances that they are
classed as lucky. While fortune is thus
tickle to individuals, 1t sometimes
happens, especially in politics, that luck
turns, leaving one who had hitherto
basked in the smiles of success stranded
upon the shoals of defeat and tlisappoint-
ment and going to him who had long
courted in vain the tickle goddess of for
tune, who now gives him n veritable sur.
felt of her favors.
A striking example of the last men
toned feature OF luck is furnished in the
case of Hon. j. Hoge Tyler, who, though
for years thwarted in n worthy ambition
to be governor Of the great State of Vir-
ginia, Mt last found in all the preliminary
steps towards securing the Democratic
nomination everything happening just
as he desired until when the convention
met in this city the honor which he had
hitherto sought in vain was accorded him
unanimously amid the plaudits of thou
sands of admiring friends. Nor has the
good fortune which made him the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor ceased to
shower her benefits upon him and the
ticket of which he Is the head AS time
goes on all chances Of opposition have
been frittered away, until now as if in Gull
animation of Major Tyler's luck, as far as
the gu International Office is concerned the
Republicans instead of presenting solid
iioHO " Tue DemOCraLlC pnRIAnX are
hopelessly divided into two factions.
One of these factions has, it is true,
recently nominated ticket; Tut as the
elements of cohesion are wholly lacking
among the Republicans OF this State as a
whole, anu as the ticket nominated by the
Democrats will receive practically the
unanimous vote of the party, its MAORI
ty may reach $4,000.
The effect of the nominations made
by the Republicans at Lynchburg will be
to Increase the activity of the Democrats
while the serious division In the ranks of
the former will most certainly tend to
lessen the interest of the rank and file of
the Republican voters in the result.
Whether Major Tyler's extraordinary
"run of luck" may open up the way for
him to the United States Senate as Mr..
Martins successor remains to be seen ;
but in view OF what has already happened,
and the large majority he is sure to re-
ceive in the vote for governor, it ia not at
all imprc bable that he may be the first
governor of Virginia SO honored for
years.
