ROANOKE COLLEGE WINS
The Honor in the intercollegiate Orator
icaI Contest.

HAMpDEN- SIDNEY, Va, May I0-The
intercollegiate oratorical contest for the
State of Virginia was held in memorial
chapel Thursday night, with eclat.
Representatives from all the associations
were present, except from the University
of Virginia. Mr. S. NJ Mason, of Hamp-
den-Sidney, president of the association,
presided with dignity and grace. Rev. DR.
w. w. Moore, and Rev T. G. Johnston,
d. D., Of Union Theological Seminary,
and Dr. Peter Winston, NJ. D., of Farm
vile, constituted the committee of award.
The speakers and subjects, given in the
order in which they came on the program,
were as follows: c. w Crawford, Emory
and Henry, "The Spirit of OPTIMISM
T. R. Hill, Randolph-Macon, "The
Present-Its Demands" w. G. Shenk,

Warren, William and Mary, Life
Crowned;" L. II. Burr, Washington and
Lee, "Has Every Man His Price?"; o.

''Poe, Byron and Burns"
al the speakers we're received with
hearty applause, and their speeches listened
to with respectful and marked attention,
as they deserved to be. All the addresses
showed careful preparation, and were well
delivered. None were prolix or tedious,
but all were enjoyed, and the audience was
very much divided as to whom the prize
should be awarded. When the judges
much speculation was INDUCED in
as to whom the successful man would be,
and if the decision had been left to the
whole number Of the auditors, the vote
would have been very much divided, but
when the award was announced and the
prize bestowed on Mr.. w. G. Shenk, Of
Roanoke College, there was hearty applause
accompanied by cheerful congratulations.
The association will meet next year at
Richmond College, when permanent
and general secretary will be appointed and
a more thorough organization will be made.
The officers for the present year are:
\. j. Hall; vice-president,
j. w. I. Mcneil, and secretary j. w.
Cauthron-all of Richmond College.

A Fine Sermon.

On last Sunday night Rev. l. P. Martin
preached very fine sermon in the Metho-
dist church to large and interested con-
gregation. His text was: "And the Lord
God formed man of the dust Of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrlls
the breath of life; and man became a
living SOUL" When the text was read
we thought the subject of the preacher
would be the creation Of man; but he usei
the text in quite another way, making his
subject the physical, intellectual, moral
and spiritual forces as found in man. The
subject was discussed with much force and
in way that showed the Rev. gentleman
had given much thought and research in
the preparation Of the sermon.

While the general tone of reports
received from all parts of the country
indicates genuine returning of pros
perity, some few sections appear TO be
in as hard lines as at any time during
the past four years ofDemocracy. This
is the case in some of the poorer farm
ing districts where the farmer makes
little more than living at best. and
where now his last wears crops have
all been sold long ago, and he is una
BILE to realize on the increase in prices
of farm products, and where a large
portion of his present and prospective
crop must go to pay his springs fer
tiliZer bill; also where he does not
live near enough manufacturing CEN
tiers to feel the effect of the increased
wage money now being paid to factory
labOrerS. These sections will be the
last to feel the wave of prosperity and
good times which is surely covering
the land, but they will eventually see
an improved condition.

Another indication of the sound
financial Judgment of the average far
mer comes to the surface in the series
of reports produced by the New York
SIM (Democratic) in which it shows
that the farmers in all parts of the
country, especially those of the West.
are paying on their mortgages with
the increased prices which they have
received from their farm products.
and there is reason to believe that the
good prices for the crops which are
now being gathered which are promis-
ed by the condition of light crops
abroad will go far toward relieving
the agricultural element of the bur-
den of Indebtedness about which the
politicians have been so much
troubled.

Mr.. Bryan's silk night shirts are
still nightmare to the average edi-

in it lack of harmony with Mr. Bry-

Mr.. BRYAN has quite changed his
habits since last fall. 1t will be re-
membered that he went about the
country shortly after the nomination
assiduously assisting the baggage
master in putting his trunk aboard
the trains. appearing upon the car
platforms in his shirt sleeves, and
during his speech-making tours in
S3 alpaca coat. All these things have
changed, however, since Mr. Bryan
has come to the front as moneyed
man, reclining in the lap of luxury
and favoring a silk and ruff1ed night
shirt.

over the malicious publications about
his mental capabilities, which have
been going the rounds since his selec-

single blow, with his splendid and
forceful letter to Ambassador Hay on
the fur-seal question, put an end to
the miserable attacks upon him which,
of course, have been prompted by hos
Utility to the Mckinley administration

vigorous document had emanated

The free traders are seeking to
evade the fact that the reduction of
the tariff duties by the Wilson law
caused the reduction in coal miners
wages, by asserting that there was no
increase in the importations of coal
under the Wilson law and hence it
could not have reduced prices. They
assume apparently that the public
does not understand that the reduc-
tion in tariff enabled the low-priced
Nova Scotia coal to come into compe-
tition with that dug by the miners of
the United States. and by reason of
its low prices drove the West Virginia
coal out of the eastern markets. This
was the fact and no befogging of the
situation will prevent anybody under
standing that it was the reduction in
the price at which Nova Scotia Goals
were laid down in eastern ports that
drove eastern Goals our of the east
and into the west. producing the war
which resulted in the reduction of
coal miners wages

The tariff bill as finally agreed to by
the House and Senate conferees is eX-
tremely satisfactory to everybody ex-
cept the Democrats. They are I'M
happy because the agreement deprives
them of their last opportunity to
charge that the bill is favorable to
the sugar trust and also because it
gives to the wool producers the full
protection which they had expected
from the House bill and depriyes their
importing friends of the opportunity
of bringing in wool at the lowest rates
named by the Senate amendment.

Prompt action and satisfactory re-
suits characterize the new tariff law,
its completion being earlier than that
of any tariff bill since the one enacted
by the first thinkers, and its provisions
being more thoroughly satisfactory to
the people than any which this gener-
alton has seen.
