Ihis County is bounded on three sides by the
waters OF the GreIt lakes, which maintain an
even temperature unaffected by the sudden
changes which occur hundreds OF miles further

pies, pears, plums, and cherries find here their
naive home, and the trees are prolific beyond

CnINrY EXPENSES.

Tho Richmond Dispatch recently gave
. fabulated list OF all the expenses ioi
c,otc nurnoses. This article has been
renroduced by many Of the papers mat
onnose calling convention. But tne
pisrotch did not touch on the facts OF
the heavy and expensive system OF the
county governments; against these inc
cry OF the oppressed taxpayers mas
been raised more loudly than In other
cases. The state tax Is only 40 cents on
the 500. while that for county pur'
poses ranges from 30 cents TO 81 we
would now like TO see the opposition pro-
duce the figures regarding the last
Eastern Shore Herald.
So far as we know, the figures in
question have never been gathered and
compiled.
But county taxation is largely in
the hands of the taxpayers themselves
Where excessive taxes prevail, the
people should rise up and demand re-
trenchment and reform What Rich
mond and other cities are doing for
themselves. the counties should do for
themselves. Ii will be time enough
10 talk about calling a constitutional
convention in the interests Of economy
after the people have helped themselves
and have exacted from the Legislature
AL the aid that that branch of our
government is capable of giving.
Doubtless. the time will come when
a constitutional convention will be de-
sirable. if not Indispensable; but that
time is not yet.

Hard Times In 1912.
Culpeper, March %, 1881

Culpeper March &c, 1897.
TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your issue of the oath your cores
pendent M crticises and also doubts
the correctness Of my statements of the
low prices of stock, crops, &c. in 1872 and
1913
In the first place. my letter I'm the Free
Lance did not say under the Van Buren,
Administration of 1872 and 1913. but said
under the low tariff of the Van Buren
Administration. &c Any school-boy
would know that Van Buren, was not
President at that time.
Now. as to low prices everything that
wrote was literally true, and if your scep-
teal correspondent will come TO Culpeper
1 will show him records to prove the cor
rectness Of what / wrote. The fact Of his
living near the city of Richmond might
have enabled him TO get better prices but
as a general thing, prices were lower then
than now.
l never write anything that ] have not
the evidence 10 prove, and never refer
any one TO newspapers for the correct
ness of my statements. The prices given
by me were those realized at public sales,
made by administrators, and that upon L.
months time.
If you will refer 10 my letter in the Free
Lance you will find that you misquoted
that portion of it relating TO the Van
Buren, Administration, &c. FELIX.

nis.TH OF PEYTON WISE.

General Peyton Wise, whose death we
announce this morning, first became
known TO the Richmond public as an
officer in Wises Brigade, of which the
Pines formed a part. and which was for
more than year stationed at Chaihn's
farm. on James river. lie started in as
q lieutenant, and rose 70 the rank OF
Northumberland. The title OF general
came TO him in 1870. with q commission
in the militia from Governor Gilbert c.
Walker.
he WAS dauntless soldier. His
courage ana enthusiasm always carried
him TO Tie forefront, and ne YVES not
only wounded. but was captured aud
suffered a long Imprisonment IN the
army. he was popular with officers and
men alike. There was no dvtJ' that he
shirked: no hardship that bis command
suffered that he lid not share.
Upon the close Of the war be made his
home In Richmond and FIRST held po-
sition IN a national bank. Later be en-
tered the tobacco commission business
and when the Office OF inspector Of the
Tobacco Trade Of Richmond was Gre
ated ne was chosen 10 fil H. There ne
remained many ysrs. Ills last great
work was a work of love for Richmond
and his cold Confederate comrades--as
chairman of the Committee of Arrange
ments for the Confederate reunion.
This duty absorbed his attention for
several months, and left him exhausted
in strength. but happy in the assurance
that his services. rendered with SO much
personal sacrifice. had contributed vastly
TO the success of tho reunion, and that
they were highly appreciated by the peo-
pie His labors during the reunion, we
cannot but believe. shortened his life.
But ne could have wished 10 die in no
noler cause than in serving his old
commandments.
Peyton Wise was one Of the most pub
Iic-spirited citizens that Richmond ever
had. His enthusiasm, cnce awakened,
not only possessed him, but spread TO

an open hand. And he liked TO think and

ed no cost too great when he could serve
those who had won his friendship. His
was an affectionate, manly, and helpful
spirit
Would that we could pronounce over
him such a eulogy az might have fallen
from his lips with such a subject, and
upon such an occasion.

agricultural schedule of protective
tariff II a fine piece or humor, and CHAIR
man Dingley is not surpassed by pre-
vious humorists. 1t Is framed on the
theory that the farmer who raises our
export crops. the prices OF which are
fived for him in the foreign raarkets'
where his products meet the surplus OF
all other nations, can be helped by
duty against Experimentation made
whose competition in the home market
would affect prices 10 no greater degree
than that competition does in the uit-
mate market. In other words" declares
Mr.. Wilson. "such a farmer is inVited

ton where he furnishes the means 10

ceives himself a non-dividend paying GER
tidcate Of membership only"
We feel sure Mr.. Wilson VIII not take
unbrage at our saying that the propo-
sition we have quoted is stated more
in the language OF professor than that
Of a politician.

Ex-Governor Mckinney.
norfolk I.andmarkD


All Virginia is grieved at the news Of
Ex-Governor McKinney's serious IL
ness. The affection and esteem which
the people feel for him are of the sin
cerest and deepest kind. and when they
honored him with the highest Office in
their gift they felt that they were pay
ing tribute primarily to an upright
life and noble character. The great
ability which Captain Mckinney exhibit
ted as the Chieft Executive of Virginia
is a matter of record, but the faithful
ness and fairness which have been so
conspicuous in his execution Of all the
public duties entrusted to him are his
chief distinction. No man ever reached
so high a position i'm public life with
n more untarnished name. The eX-
Governors friends hope and earnestly
trust that he will rally from his present
sickness. and that he will yet be
among his people for many a year.

"News comes from Aiken, s. c., that

The Press, which is fond Of making
fun of the South, is mistaken in the
present instance, as it usually is. The
women of the North have been going
to unwomanly extremes for generations
without imitation on the part of the
women of the South, and we may well
judge the future by the past in the mat
ter. since the South remains the most
conservative part of the country.

The Georgia papers are printing some
hitherto unpublished letters written home
by General Thomas r. Cobb while he
was in the Confederate military service
near Richmond. They give accounts Of
chickering's among Davis and the othc
leaders of the South, generals included.
Lee and Davis are sharply criticised. OBJ
lection is made that Fitz Lee was pro-
NOTED to brigadier-ge neralship over
Cobb. Cobb was free in the expression
Of his opinion that Davis and Lee both
showed undue favoritism 10 the officers
and commands from Virginia. OF
StonewaI Jackson, however, Cobb seems
TO have had an exalted opinion.
The writer of these letters was the
commander Of Cobb's Legion, which was
well known in the Virginia campaigns.
Not a few Georgiars regret that the
letters were ever published; it being i'm
probable they can give satisfaction to
any but enemies of the South.
