BASEBALL AFFAIR OFF.
A Telescope View of the Outlook for

Virginia League or Atlantic League.
Richmond will certainly have good base
ball next season
Another meeting OF those interested in
the proposed Virginia League Will be
held this week and then II Is expected
that everything will be ready for organi-

of the Atlantic League franchise declare
that that class ball will be here again
next season.

The School-BOok Question.

Indeed, we may say for our State
Board of Education, that it has given
to this book.list question the most
patient and painstaklng afternoon.
What their conclusions will be we 40
not venture to predict, so far as the
fate of this or that book, or this or
that publishing house, is concerned,
but we dare say the net result will be
that the children of Virginia will get
their books cheaper than ever before
And if changes are to be made. we
predict that they will be made SO
gradually and upon such easy terms
that parents and guardians will have
no cause to complain.
So far as we can ascertain, the to-
tai cost to buyers of the school-books
sold in Virginia is somewhere be-
tween 100000 and S150,00O pei, an
mum. The exact amount NOBODY
knows. We had supposed the sum
greater than we have stated, but
from the figures given to the Board
of Education, we are now inclined to
believe the amount is somewhere
between 100000 and $150,Oo0; nearer
the former than the latter.
However, the sum is certainly large
enough for us as q people to wish TO
keep it at home. Never have we had
more favorable opportunity than 10
now presented to make a break for
lliberty-to inaugurate 81 policy look
lug to keeping a very considerable
portion of this money in Virginia.
1t may cost something for us to
make a beginning, but it will cost
less now than it will four years
hence. If the present is not an OPP
perfume time for Virginia to take
this matter into her own hands, we
much doubt if that time ever will
come.-Richmond Dispatch.

The success of the reunion, on next
Tuesday, means that with the fund
already in hand the Executive Com
mittee of Harmanson.W West Camp
will have a sufficient amount to begin
the erection of monument to our
Confederate dead without further de
lay, and that fact ought to be sufli-
Gent to call together larger num-
Der of people at the courthouse on
that day than has ever met before
at the county seat in any day of its
history. Duty, patriotism, love for
the Lost Cause and the noble heroes
who died for it, gratitude to them for
the noble fight which they made for
their native State, and the honor due
to their memory, already too long de-
layed, demand that the reunion be a
grand success in every way. 1t will
be. The people of the Eastern Shore
have too much respect for the
memory Of their dead heroes to with
hold their support from any move
ment which is intended to honor
them and perpetuate it.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1898-07-23

at the reunion at the court house
on next Tuesday, it is proposed, to
organize Ladies Memorial Associa-
ton, to which will be committed the
trust of caring for and preserving
the monument to be erected to the
Confederate dead of the Eastern
Shore, but their duties will not be
restricted to that object alone. Very
many of the Cd Confederates regard
them as the best custodians Of the
records now in the bands of the ex
ecutive committee of Harmanson-
West Camp, and they will doubt
less be invited later to take possession
of them and collect the funds also
which would be necessary for pre-
serving them and the monument.
Such associations have been organ
lied in other sections of the State,
and the ladies of the Eastern Shore,
doubtless, would cheerfully assume
the duties and responsibilities which
a like organization would impose
upon them.

The reunion of EX>ConfederateS AT
Accomac C. H., next Tuesday, ought
to be an occasion full of interest to
most of the people of the Eastern
Shore. Recalling as it does the eNalt>
ed patriotism and deeds of valor OF
the noble band who few years ago
left their homes to battle for the
right and their native State every
one who loved the Lost Cause and its
noble heroes ought to regard 1t as
their duty to be present. Gratitude
TO the living of that band and an
afrectionate remembrance of their
dead demands, that all who can, be
present and participate in the eXer-
cises OF the day. The fact, that they
fought and lost not only does not de-
tract from the interest which we
ought TO feel in the day, but makes
the duty more imperative. If the
cause for which they fought was
right, and there are but few Virgin
ians of the Anglo-SaXon race who do
not believe it, then it is our duty TO
be present, and We cannot shirk the
responsibilities which the day may
impose upon us if we would be true
to ourselves and our children. To us
the sacred trust having been commit
ted of preserving and transmitting
TO poSterity = record of the noble
deeds of our living and dead heroes
which time cannot etface and the
sordid interests Of this world destroy
there should be such an assem-
blage of the citiZensfrom every section
of the Eastern Shore on that day, to
leave it no longer matter OF doubt
that we propose to do it. But if a
sense of duty does not prompt us TO
be present, the occasion will have so
many attractive features that no one
who wishes to be delightfully."- enter
tanned can afford 10 stay away. An
address by distinguished speaker,
Confederate songs to be rendered by
many of the finest vocalists on the
Eastern Shore, music On the brass
band, fancy table with many artic
les of afTectionate interest, valuable
prizes to be awarded, and dinner and
refreshments to be served by many
of the fairest of our fair women, in
vite you to be present and participate
in the exercises of the day. Through
US the loving invitation is extended
to everyone who can to come, and
we have no doubt that all who can
will be@on hand, to assist in the noble
workyand to promote the worthy OBJ
ject for which the day was appointed

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1898-07-23

The eight annual reunion of Con-
federate Veterans is being held at
Atlanta, Georgia, this week. The
number in attendance on the first
day, Wednesday, estimated at about
fifty thousand, seems to indicate an
undated interest in the Lost Cause
and the pride of the Confederate
Veterans in perpetuating everything
of interest pertaining to it. The or
ganization is doing noble work in
the interest of the truth of history
and which will be of inestilnable
value to their descendants when they
have passed away. In the event
Gen. John B. Gordon persists in de-
clining to continue as Commander
in Chief, Gen. Stephen D. Lee will
probably be elected as his successor.
