the last, for the one, and IN the West
for the other, which, now offered and
neglected, may never be presented
again in the widening commerce OF
the worlds future.
Burke's prophecy OF Americas future
may in our generation be fulfilled,
"Young man, there is America, which,
at this present day, serves for little
more than to amuse you with stories OF
savage men and uncouth manners, yet
shall, before you taste Of death, show
itself equal to the whole of that COM
merce which now attracts the envy Of
the world"
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty which
has heretofore stood in the way of
canal across the Isthmus, in that it
provided for joint control OF that
waterway, may no longer be hind
rance and an American built canal,
under exclusive American control, may
now be established without any con-
ficting interests.
Are we willing to barter the future
for present Indifference or fancied
security The building of the Mica
raguan canal, the holding of Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the control of
the Philippines and La1rones, give US
an assured commercial supremacy with
South America, and keep open the
way for trade and traffic of China and
India.
1t consolidates and secures the in
tegrity Of our own country. The Pa
cific States, with their rapidly growing
commerce in the Eas' with their i'm
mense coast line, need to be tied more
indissolubiy with tie South and East.
The Pacific roals spanning the cont.

A Startling incident OF which Nr
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the

STORIES OFTHE OLD DOMINION

One of the books just issued from
the press Of Harper & Brothers is s
new edition of John Esten Cookies
"Stories of the Old Dominion" This
Book was recommended by the Slate
Beard Of Education tor supplementary
reading in the common schools Of Vir-
ginis. and the edition just out was
prepared in order to supply tie de-
mand created by that recommendation.
The hood is post octave volume con-
tanning SGT pages, and is very neatly
bound in cloth, The contract price at
which the book was listed by the
Board was $1.00, but the publishers
have met the large and increasing de-
mand by issuing this new edition at 80
cents per copy.
For this attractive volume Mr.. Cooke
himself an enthusiastic Virginiau, has
culled all the most interesting and i'm
portant events of colonial days and
tells them simply, graphically and at
trastivsly. 1t embodies many tales OF
Virginia history and biography not
known, ard while prepared
for boys and girls it is worthy the
perusal as well OF men aud women. It'll
is work which should be placed in
The hands of every school boy and
,shool girl in the State Of Virginia.

a SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Six Year Old Boy at CreIIin is the
Victim.

y Six Year Old Boy at CrelIin is the
Victim.
] On Thursday afternoon at a late
hour two children, aged six and eight
years, were playing along the bank
of the Preston Lumber & Coal Co. s
dam at Crellin when one of them,
Frank Sanders, aged six years, q son
of Lemuel Sanders, who is an employee
OF the company, slipped and fell into
the water and was drowned. The
other boy, whose name we could not
learn, had the Sanders boy by the
hand when he fell and was 50 fright
ened that he was rendered speechless.
AT the time twenty or more men
were but short distance away and
could have easily rescued the drown
ing child if an alarm had been given.
AS soon as it became known that the
child had fallen into the water an
effort was made to recover the body,
but as the dam was full of logs the
water had to be drawn off, and it was
not until Friday morning that the
body was found, which was at once
prepared for burial The funeral
service was conducted on Sunday by
Rev, j. NJ Davis, the interment be
ing made at the Red House.
