AccoMAc COURT HOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1928.
Entered at the Postoflice at Accomae
C. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The question, whether or not there
will be war between this country and
Spain, is no longer in doubt. \ step
in that direction, in fact, has been
made which makes it a question OF
only few hours. A resolution
adopted by the House of Represents
tives by vote of S99 to 10, on We'd
nesNay, directing the President to
undertake immediate armed inter
vention with the view of establishing
an independent government in Cuba,
was virtually a declaration of war
with Spain. The action of the House,
supported by similar resolution in
troduced into the Senate and which
before this time has passed that body,
gives the President no choice in the
matter, as he is directed and en-
powered" in the one case, directed
and authorized" in the other, but to
use armed intervention which means
war. That its beginning is almost in
sight there is no doubt, but when
will it end is another question which
must be asked with solicitude by
everyone who has counted its cost
and the horrors that will attend it.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Strongly Opposes Recognition Of Bel
IigerencY or Of independence
of Cuba.

Washington, April 1.-THE Presi
dent sent his message to Congress
shortly after noon to-day. In points
the message is as follows:
The message strongly opposes the
recognition of belligerency as eNpe,
dent, and is also opposed to the
recognition of the independence OF
Cuba at this time, but fayors the
granting of authority for such uses
of the armed forces of the United
States as he may deem necessary TO
put an end to hostilities and secure
stable government In Cuba.
Also asks for an appropriation to
be used for the relief of such people
as are still in need. The message
shows that Spain herself first suS-
gested to this government the de
stability of an armistic, and slgnl
fled evidence of her assent, and asked
the United States to use its good
offices to secure a keassent from the
insurgents. This request was denied.
The Maine incident figures quite
prominently in the message. The
President argues that the wreck OF
our battleship in Havana harbof
shows conclusively that Spain is not
able to guarantee to us and other na
tions that security to their vessels
which they have the right to demand
The message asks Congress to au-
thorize and empower him to take
measures to secure a full and ina
termination of hostilities between the
government of Spain and the people
of Cuba, and to secure the estaollsn
ment of stable government capable
of maintaining order and observing
its international obligations, insurne
peace and tranquility and the security
of it's citizens as we'll as our own, anc
to use the military and naval force:
of the United States as may be neces
sary for these purposes.
After recommending that the dis
tribution of supplies be continued
the President closes: 1.-The issue j:
now with Congress. 1t is a solemn
responsibility. / have exhausted
every effort to relieve the intolerablt
condition of affairs at our doors.
am prepared to execute every obliga
ton imposed on me by the Constitu'
ton and the law. await YOU
acton
The President acknowledges the
receipt of information of the procla.
nation of the suspension of hostili-
ties OH the part of Spain, and SAYS
IF this measure attains a successful
result, then our aspirations as 6
Christian, peace-loving people vii
be realized; if it fails it will be only
another justification of our conten
plated action.

An Anecdote of General Early.

A student of the University of Vir-
einia, writing to the Petersburg In
dex-Appeal, says: "An editorial in the
Index on the fighting qualities, or
rather the lack of fighting qualities,
of the fire eaters in the late war puts
me in mind of a conversation | had
with one Of our professors some time
ago. He said that he would be glad
to have war with Spain on one con-
dition, namely, that only the jingoes
and yellow journalists would COM
pose the army. He then told me an
anecdote of General Early, who
signed the secession papers with
tears in his eyes. Near him was al
old fellow from Charlottesville, who
was just bowling for secession.
Turning+to him Early said. You'll
never spill drop OF blood for the
cause and sure enough about six
months later General Early came
upon this fire eater driving a
wagon loaded with shoes which he
was selling "Help yourselves, boysn
said the general to his troops, and
they did it..

Virginia Troops In Case Of War.

Richmond, Va, April 10.-It is not
likely that the number of organized
companies in the State authorized
by the Code will be increased should
war be declared and Virginia asked
for troops. Eighty companies are
now authorized by law, and with
these recruited to the full strength
of 100 men each, it is not believed
that more organizations would be
necessary. Governor Tyler desires
to avoid all expense possible.
1t is this desire to be as economical
as possible that has caused the Gov
ernor to decide that he will not call
any extra session of the Legislature,
should he have to order the Virginia
troops into the field. The cost of
such extra session would probably
amount to $50 600, at least a sum be-
lieved to be sufficient to defray the
cost of sending in all the troops that
will be required of the State.

Fitz Lee is beyond question the
most popular man in the country to-
day. The people of every section
and men of every shade of political
opinion unite in their songs of praise
to him. In the history of this coun-
try there has never been, perhaps.
any heartier exhibition of love and
respect for any man by the whole
people. 1t looks now as if the people
would give him any office to which he
might aspire, and there is no doubt
that he will have the opportunity to
add still greater lustre to his fame by
his services to his country.
As presidential candidate he
would be hard to beat at this time,
ard the following from the New
York Times, expresses the opinion of
the republican Press generally, that
in the event of a war that Fitz Lee
is the man to be among the foremost
in the fight:
When man so kindly as General
Lee shows a deep hostility to the
Spanish Government in Cuba, il
spite OF the pleasant relations he has
sustained with the Spanish Governor,
the presumption that it deserves his
hostility is overwhelming. His hui
manity has been shocked by the con-
slant contemplation of Spanish inhu-
mainly. When such a man says that
1.-The time for action has come" his
countrymen are ready to believe him.
When he says, as General Lee is re-
ported to have said yesterday, that
he was ready to turn back for Hava-
na,n there is no doubt that he could
find enough of eager volunteers to
follow him The President could
make no wiser use of the powers of
the commandments than TO
offer generals commission to Fitz-
hugh Lee.

National Association OF Democratic

night, to celebrate the 155th ami
versary of the birthday of Thomas
Jefferson. In the course of his re-
marks, in responding to the toast of

Cuban situation, declaring that if the
United States assumed the response

and b&rbarities Of. the warfare Oh

in Europe could protest without de-
Tending the things which we con-
demned. In addition to our right to
the war on humanitarian grounds, he
declared, that we had the right to in

doors, should be of such character

The Supreme Court of Appeals
has decided that the Legislature did
not abolish the Office of register of
the land Office. This retains Col.
John w. Richardson in Office until
the Legislature reassembles two years
hence. The case came up on petit
ton of the secretary of the Commons
wealth for a writ of mandamus to
compel Colonel Richardson to surren-
der the office. The two Houses failed
to pass a concurrent act abolishing
the office, but eliminated the salary
provided for in the appropriation OF
the bill The court held that the
defendant was duly elected to the
position and that there was no act
abolishing the office. The whole de-
feet was in relying upon the failure
to appropriate the salary of the in
cumbent to abolish the office.

Commodore Schley's flying squad
ron left Hampton Roads under sealed
orders last Wednesday. 1t is claimed
that it only went to sea on a practice
cruise, but little credence is placed
in the statement as the departure
was made in face of gale. Many
incidents in connection with the
leaving of the squadron did not indi-
cate that the officers thought, that
they would be off on pleasure trip
for few days.
