MORAL Is, TOTE FAIR.

IT is said that James r. Keene made
81 10000 in American Tobacco Company
stock last week. The details of the turn,
as given in the New York papers, are in
brief these: About year ago Keene and
four other operators set out to control
the American Tobacco Company, and at
last succeeded in getting hold of a ma
tority Of the stock. Then the five began
a vigorous fight on the manufacturers of
plug tobacco, with view to forcing them
into the combination, also. There was a
taclt agreement among the five that
none of them should sell any of their
stock until the negotiations with the
plug manufacturers had been completed
and on the strength Of rumors that the
plug men had come TO terms, the stock
was pushed up 10 154 "a. Just at that
iuncture, however, Keene, IL is stated,
discovered that some Of those in the
combine with him ware selling. This
was his opportunity, and going into the
market with rush he unloaded his en-
tire holdings at about the top notch. AS
for his partners who afforded him the
and who, II is stated, lost
heavily, they have doubtless realized
that It may pay. even in Wall street. TO

KILLED HIS BROTHER.
A Sad Accident in Shenandoah
Contradictions.

WOODSTOCK, VA, October 3.-(Spe-
ciaL)-On last Friday night Robert Shipe,
a private in Company A, Second Virginia.
and his brother, Charles. aged about II
years, were handling a revolver, and the
weapon accidentally discharged. The ball
struck the younger brother in the left
side, just over the hip, and pierced through
the entire body. Young Shipe was
not considered to be in a dangerous con-
dtion, and although every attention was
given him, he died yesterday.
Rev. w. j. Cooke, pastor of the Chris
tian church at Greensburg, Pa, preached
two splendid sermons in the local Chris
tan church on yesterday. This church
will call a new pastor in the near future.
The new church OF the Southern Metho-
dist denomination, at Jadwyn, three miles
northwest of this place. was dedicated
yesterday. Rev. J. p Stump pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church, South,
at Fredericksburg, preached the dedica-
tory sermon. The building Is a neat frame
structure and is a credit to the
zeal of the few members in that imme
date vicinity.
This section was visited by a splendid
rain on yesterday. AS a result the farm
ers will be enabled TO commence their
wheat seeding, none Of which has been
done as yet, on account Of the extended
dry weather. The precipitation here last
month was less than an inch.
Rev. Dr. p. d. Stephenson, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at this place. at
tended the sessions Of the synod, at Taze-
well. last week. Or. Stephenson was
chairman of Committee on the Rela-
ton of Women to the Church, for which
report he had prepared lengthy article.
He is of the opinion that the woman's
place is in the home.
The public schools OF this place opensd
to-day for an eight month session. Pro-
lessor p. Jones, a graduate of William
and Mary, is the principal.
At a meeting of Shenandoah Carp
Confederate Veterans. Of this place. on
Saturday, Chaplain Stephenson and Com
mander Rhodes were elected delegates TO
represent the camp at the coming ses-
sions of the Grand Camp, at Cupeper.

HENRY GEORGE.

The New York Tribune reports that
Henry George, who has been nominated
by a. committee of silver Democrats for
the office Of Governor of New York, will
not accept. 1t is said that he has exam
ined Judge Van Wyck's record and Is sat
isfied with it, the Judge having voted for
BRYAN. Per contra, the Herald asserts,
upon the authority of a friend of
Georges, that George will probably ac-
cept the nomination.
Upon the decision of this question much
will depend. If the Tribune's information
should prove correct it is likely that
Roosevelt will be beaten, Notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Hanna has promised to
pour out money in great amounts 10 help
the Rough Rider. But should Mr.. George
enter the field, he may draw from Van
Wyck enough votes TO endanger the lat
ter's prospects.
1t does not appear that Mr.. George was
nominated by regularly constituted con-
vention, but by a committee of gentle
men who represent the element in the
party who are dissatisfied because the
Syracuse convention failed to endorse and
reaffirm the Chicago platform; in other
words. because the Syracuse convention
passed that question by without action
one way or another
From the outgivings of the New York
press IT seems that the Germans are
highly favorable to the election OF Van
Wyck, and will give him their hearty sup
port. They are great power in the poll
tics Of that State.

FLUyANNA COUNTY
Movement to Establish an Academy
Personal Notes.


FORK UNION, VA, October S.-(Spe-
cial.)-As a result OF the superb lecture
delivered here few evenings since by
Rev. DIR. w. f. Hatcher, on the ques-
ton. What Shall We Do With Our
Boys?" an enterprise was set on foot
and is rapidly approaching completion
10 establish at Fork Union an academy
OF a grade 20 bridge the chasm between
the public school and the college. lt Is
believed by some that the movement
may prove TO be the initial step towards
the inauguration of another system Of
high-grade schools as feeders 10 the col
leges on the Randolph-M Macon plan.
The tidings Of the death in Richmond
of Mr.. James III. Mason, who for many
years had been engaged in the tobacco
business at this place, causes sincere
sorrow among his many friends here.
The quite fatal disease now prevalent
among the cattle in some sections of this
county is foundation for the belief that
the James river Is no longer to be re-
garded as the dividing line between the
murrain and anti-murrain district There
are evidences however, that the disease
Is less virulent, and is rapidly disappear
ing from the county.
The Hill Grove High School resumed
to-day, with applicants in number far
beyond its capacity of accommodation.
The action of our County School Board
in adopting certain textbooks different
from those unanimously recommended
by the conference of teachers of the
county. does rot, as was apprehended. at
all interrupt the harmonious corpora
ton of officers and teachers.
