a New History of Virginia.

We have before us "A History
of Vlrginia and Virginians," writ
ten by Dabncy IL. Maury, and
published by b. +. johnson, of
Richmond, Va. Ii is well arrang.
cd for text book work, and is so
attractivcly illustrated and so
popularity paraphrascd rs to very
naturally win a place into the
homes of patriotic Virginians.
The author nicely introduces
Virginia history by making brief
and pertinent mention Of contcm.
poraneOus expeditions to different
parts Of America. His treatment
of the Indian-his life and nature.
his relation to the early settlers
is fair, classical and interesting.
Like John Estcn Cooke, the
writer expresses a keen and cor
rect appreciation for the patriot
ism that kindlcd in the hearts of
Vlrginians and spread like flame
throughout the Colonies to fire
the souls Of their citizens for the
expression and endorsement of
such a document as the Declara.
ton Of Independence.
Like Miss McGill, the author
has so simplilled the story of Vir.
ginia's history as to render his
book well adopted to public
school use.
The pardonable jealous regard
for the lofty spirit of true patriot.
ism, which has ever dominated
Virginians in their deliberate de-
cisions for peace or war, permeates
the entire book and idcalizes it's
characters in such manner as to
make it pleasing and appealing
to the most practical Virginiane.

Bryan in the West.

The reception OF Mr.. Bryan during
his recent journey through the West
should be enough to convince those
too hopeful Republicans or cowardly
Democrats in the East who think
that tho silver question has been set
tied and remains without living int.
crest, that they are wrong. AT Rapid
City, SD, for example, Mr.. Bryan
spoke for two hours on"Bimetalism",
by which he means silver monometal
ism. The subject has been discussed
unfortunately, aud many persons
would not care to be talked TO about
1T for two mortal hours, but GOOO
people from Rapid City and the sur.
rounding towns were on hand to hear
his address. When he arrived 'tho
entire nssemblage rose, and, waving
umbrellas, hats and handkercheifs,
cheered frantically.' BY means of
phonograph and telephone hundreds
OF persons in other towns heard his
remarks, at the close of which he
had TO shake hands for two hours

Editor of the News; Uynchburg)
The able reply of Senator Daniel,
in recent Issue of your paper, to
the splcnetic uttorances of Colonel
OFerrall was read with more than
ordinary interest by myself.
would like to call the special at.
tention of your readers to tie asscr
ton OF Senator Daniel that o O'F'errall
claimed all during tho campaign of
1913 to be one of the best friends of
silver in Congress; voting not only
for tho bills of its free and unlimited
coinage, but for all tho substitutes
from II to to 20 to1.
As the representative of several
newspapers, l went to Eastville, the
connty seat of Northampton, Sept.
2, 1898, where O'Ferrall opened the
canvass for gubornatorial honors.
After the speaking, which occurred
in the courthouse, he sent for me to
come to his room ut the hotel. stat.

tho campaign, and would be closely

voted for tho free coinage of silver

Truly OFcrrall is tho last man in
the world to accuse Major Daniel or
any one else of Inconsistency. Dur.
ing his long term of service in Con.
gress, he was n strong advocate of
free silver, and he waits until lie
becomes Governor to "study the
financial question:"
The people of Virginia wonder
why he waits until his vote counts
no more IN Federal Legislation than
that OF the humblost sulleragist to
study finance" His duties as Con

New orleans, Sept. :22.-The largest
BUMPER OF cases reported on any day
SINCE the yellow fever first made it's
appearance IN New Orleans two weeks
ago was recorded on the books of the
Doard OF health yesterday evening at
O'Clock, although at that hour not a
single case had proven fatal during
the Gay. There were eighteen cases
in all, including nifse kY DIR. joseph
Holt, all of the latter having been
orly tagged and been put under quar-
antine regulations.
1ne Most sensational incident of the
day was the announcement from DR..
Holt, expressed to the board of health.
that he had discovered mime cases
among his practice, the first of which
had come under his observation on
Friday. Immediately upon the re-
celpt OF the letter the machinery Of
the board was placed in motion and
inspectors We're sent to the various
houses Where DR.. Holt reported sick
ness to exist. The places were all dis
infected and guards placed in front of
them, but the board said it had very
little hope of the effectiveness of these
measures since all those who desired
were given an opportunity to escape
from the infected houses.
The brightest feature of the day
was that there was no deaths. All
the patients in the city are reported
as doing we'll. The board of health
has decided to send an appeal to Gov.
Foster, asking him to supply the
board with $4,000 from the surplus
fund of the state to assist in prosecut-
ing it's fight against fever. The gov
ernor was also asked to issue orders
for tents and other camp supplies to
be used at the camp of detention.
The board Of health has decided to
send list Of infected houses daily to
manufactures in order to enable the
proprietors to discriminate in the en-
ployment of aid and lay Off any OF
the employees who may live in neigh
borhooGs where infection exists.
Fifty-eight people slept at Fontain-
bleau. the. federal detention camp,
last night. To-day additional refu-
gees arrived there from Mobile. To-
morrow the camp will be prepared to
receive $50 additional guests, and by
Thursday the surgeons in charge say
they will have room and accommodate
tons for 500 people besides those al
ready quartered there The Louisville
& Nashville railroad is providing free
transportation TO: all who wish to 20
to the camp.
There were no new cases at Ocean
Springs and several of the old pa
tlents were discharged. Miss May
Chinn died at Biloxi to-day. All mails
are how being sent from the infected
districts with as much regularity as
possible with the reduced railroad ia
cilities.
The public circulating library has
been closed at the suggestion of the
board of health. Two private schools
that have refused to close in accord

A committee of the British parlia-
ment appointed to inquire into the
methods of money-lenders, listened to
one witness who confessed that he car.
ried on his business in several places
and under eight different names. If
he traded everywhere under the same
name, people, he frankly remarked,
would not be likely to enter the trap"
This worthy declared that he had
sometimes made loans at three thou

members of parliament for example,
he had no dealings. Women owning
annuities and tradesmen were the
chief victims of the eightfold sharper.
The usurer owned that there were peo-

better need to be protected against
themselves, and such protection is one
of the obligations of discerning and
discreet citizens.

Some Severe Fighting With the
NOhmunds in India.
Camp Anayat, Sept. Is. - Severe
fighting has taken place between the
Second brigade of Gen. Sir Bindon
Blood's division and the Mohmunds.
The British loss was 40 killed and
wounded. The brigade has moved
out to attack the Mohmunds in the
valley north of the camp to punish
them for the assault Tuesday night
upon the force Of Gen. Jeffreys at the
Lancers found the enemy entrenched
on the hills about eight miles distant.
The Thirty-ffth Silhs was ordered to
make the attack. The regiment was
supported by four guns of a mountain
battery and by six companies of Bluffs.
The SilAhs drove the enemy into the
hills, but eventually fell back upon the
bluffs before superior numbers. The
enemy then advanced against the left
flank, drove back the cavalry and sur
rounded company Of SikhS. The
cavalry charged brilliantly and re-
lieved the Silks, ard the guides COM
ing up, swept the enemy back. The
force halted for some time, destroying
the ene1sy's towers and then retired.
A company of SikhS on the hills to the
extreme right was hard pressed and
was running short Of ammunition
when the general officer commanding
moved the guides forward to their re-
lief, which was gallantly accomplished
The guides carried the wounded SlkhS
back and executed the withdrawal in
good order, though the enemy pressed
them hard. Darkness came On before
the force reached camp and the guides
with Ge1. Jeffreys and his escort of
Bluffs became separated from, the col
umn, which passed them in the gloom.
Gen. Jeffreys remained with the, guEs
and took up position in a village.

Panic Follows the Dreaded Alarm Of

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 22.-About
two hours after the men went to work
IN mine No. 2, Of the Bessemer Land
and Improvement conpany's coal
mine at Belle Ellen, near Blocton.
Blbb county, fire was discovered far
down in the main slope. About 100
men are employed in the mine and at
once an alarm was given. A panic
Followed among the workers, and in
the little town of Belle Ellen hundreds
OF men and women and children gath
cred at the main entrance of the
smoking mine while rescue parties
were at once formed to relieve the
miners. More than fifty were gotten
out from the various entrances with
out harm. Others were overcome by
smoke and fell by the wayside. The
brave searchers found and dragged
out While those waiting at the en-
trance restored life to their uncOn-
sclous friends. A scene of wild ex-
cltement prevailed at the mines
mouth, women and children were
screaming and shouting for help and
hre brigade was at work endeavor-
ing to overcome the flames. Five men
who were working about the slope be-
yond where the fire originated, could
not be REACHED, and it is regarded as
certain that they are dead. It is pos
sible that two OF three others may be
in the mines. There was no POSSIBLE
ity of their escape and the fire brig
ade battled with the flames all day in
a vain attempt to reach the entomed
men, but the fire is still burning fierce
~ and efforts have been abandoned
and the men given up for dead.
