"sowing the Wind.v

Those who went TO the Academy last
night were well repaid in seeing a splen-
did performance of Sydney Grundys most
pronounced success. Sowing the Wind"
The company We're competent in every
particular. and fully met the requirements
of the play. The Rosamond OF Miss Hollo-
way was an artistic portrayal, as was
also the Brabazon of Mr.. Herbert Sears,
and In the Sex Against Sex" scenes their
work received great applause, which was
well merited. Mr.. Turner, as the meddle-
some old bachelor Bob Watkin, was
highly amusing; and, I'm fact, all the
characters were well played. The cos
tunes. of the period of 1880. were rich,
and added much TO the charm and success
of the performance. A matinee will be
given this afternoon, and the engagement
will terminate this evening.

SCOTT COUNTY.
Political Rally BOoked-Candidate
for the House.

GATE CITY, VA, September 10.-(Spe-
| that Judge Samuel w. Williams, OF
Wytheyille, and Mr.. j. A. Faw, editor
OF the Bristol Times, will address the
citizens of Scott county here next Mon
day (court-da). A large crowd is ex-
pected TO be in town, and IL is conf
IDENTIFY believed that much will be ac-
complished for the Democracy. Both
the speakers are very popular in this
county. and the delay OF Republican
prosperity has especially prepared the
people for the reception OF political
truth.
Those most prominently spoken OF In
connection with the Democratic nomina-
ton for the House OF Delegates from
this county at present are Mr. A. l..
Henderson and Professor f. NJ. Carter.
Mr.. Henderson is one Of the wealthlest
citizens OF the county and has been a
conspicuous figure in Democratic coun-
ellis ever since the war He Is a gem
tleman OF broad views, wide information,
and Is a most earnest and convincing
speaker. Professor Carter Is a young
man, but has established quite an envia-
BILE reputation throughout the county
His speeches during the campaign last
year did much good for the party. He
is recognized as one Of the foremost
orators OF the extreme Southwest.
Either OF the above gentlemen would
make the county most worthy and
capable representative. A call will be
made Monday for district meetings to
elect delegates to the county conven-
ton. which will be held late I'm this
month.
The Republicans here seem to be very
much detected and discouraged on ac-
count OF their party troubles in the
State, and are manifesting little ac-
tivity. SO far only one candidate for
the House nomination has announced
himself and he came out before the
deposition OF Chairman Lamb. A ma

Weni Wenl Richmond is now in third
place. BY taking two games from the
Athletics yesterday. and with the assist
ance of the Lancasterians, who admin
istered a defeat to Hartford the Giants
vacated fourth place and ensconced them
selves in the much coveted three hole.
This was expected OF them. and now
all that the cranks desire is for them
TO stay where they have gotten. 1t is a
great victory for Richmond. a new conner
In the Atlantic League. TO be able to
claim third place in the race, and it will
be a stiI greater thing If she can con-
tlnue there to the close of the season.
The Giants are amply strong to hold
their position, IL fair play is accorded
them, but they go away after to-day's
game to close the season up North, ana
it is question whether they will not be
defrauded of their own. But one more
week will intervene, however. before
the end comes. and there is a chance for
second place being secured by this city's
representatives. Here's success TO the
effort.

letics put up good, strong games. the

four runs and taken the lead. The John
MES couldn't stand any such treatment
as this, however and they soon got to-
gcther and pounded Cain vigorously, as
d result Of which they forged rapidly
10 the front, and walked off the diamond
