Hon. R. I. Thorp. the republican
nominee for Congress in the 4th dis
trict of Virginia was born IN Gran
VILE County North Carolina, educated
at the University of Virginia, where he
took both. an academic and law
course. He graduated with the de-
gree of B. L., and was awarded the
debaters medal of the Jefferson So
ciety after memorable and heated
NEST. Mr.. Thorp removed to Vir-
ginia before attaining his majority,
and soon afterwards began the prac-
tice of law at Boydton, the county
seat of necklenburg County, where he
has resided ever since. He soon took
high stand at the bar. and was an.
pointed by the court Commonwealth s
attorney, a position which he held for
eighteen consecutive years.
In 1894 while holding this office, he
took strong grounds in favor of hay-
ing republican candidate nominated
for Congress. This did not meet the
entire approval Of the party organiza-
ton. Though the district was known
to be overwhelmingly republican, it
was deemed useless to make a fight
under the partisan election law passed
BY democ, attic legislature and the
Infamous methods resorted to by that
party in many places in the district
At the republican convention held at
Burkeville in August 1904. he was
nominated by acclamation for Con-
greSS. His democratic competitor
was awarded the certificate of election:
but the returns were successfully i'm
peached In a contest, and Mr.. Thorp
was seated as member of the s1th
Congress by the unanimous vote of
the House, upon the unanimous re-
port OF Elections Committee No. Z.
In 1896, he was again nominated for
Congress, was again deprived of the
certificate, and again successfully con-
tested the election and was seated as
member OF the 55th Congress, of
which ne is now a member. By leave
of the House Mr. Thorp arpned his
own case upon the floor in a speech of
one hour, which electrified his friends.
Inns speech was pronounced by many
to have been one of the most eioouent
and effective ever delivered bv
upon the floor of CONGRESS-

and fair election methods.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

The withdrawal of Z. L. Jones,
Esq, from the congressional race in
Virginia augurs we'll for the rerub-
licsn party. 1t demonstrates the
loyalty Of Mr.. Jones as we'll as
the sound republicanism of Mr..
Thorp. Mr.. Thorp has not been
in Congress long but he has been
particularly active in his efforts to
provide for his immediate constit-
uency. He has been instrument
tai in the appointment of large
number of cOlored men to Office
and shows a determination to con-
tinue the good work. Probably the
strongest reason that prompted Mr..
Jones to withdraw was the fact that
the opposition to Mr.. Thorp was
organized and conducted for the
purpose of preventing the election
of a republican Congressman from
Virginia. As is the case in more
than one southern State, there are
a few white men who on account
of their ability to work up presi-
dental delegations have been &C.
corded the federal patronage of
those States, in the absence of a
republican congressman. This
condition has obtained so long that
these would be leaders have come
to regard the privilege of debating
appointments as belonging to them
and they will not give up without
struggle. Of course it is TO their
advantage to oppose Mr.. Thorp or
any body else who might be in a
position to contravene their privi-
lege. Mr.. Thorp is a gentleman
who has done his full duty toward
his constituency and will contend
for his rights as the representative
of the party In his State.
Mr.. Jones was made aware of
the machinations of the enemy and
would not consent to be their tool.
That Mr.. Thorp will receive the
entire support of the colored re-
publicans of his district goes with
out saying. If he does not receive
the support Of the white republi,
cans who have sought to defeat his
nomination. the responsibility will
be with them and lot with the
colored voters. We confidently
predict Mr.. Thorp's election and
the early downfall of those would
be white leaders who for their own
sake would prevent the election of
a republican to Congress.
The exhibition that the demo-
Gratis of the South are making of
themselves fully demonstrates the
Importance and necessity of
electing republican House of
Representatives and the continu-
snce of the republican party in
power. Has the democratic party
in the South presented such
a record that will warrant colored
men to vote that ticket? Cololed
men should be careful how they
cast their vote for the enemy of
good government and human.
liberty. The record of the demo-
cratic party is opposition to expan-
sion or any measure that would
tend to elevate and extend our
territoty.

After some deliberation Mr.. Jones de
cided that he would withdraw his
claims as a candidate for Congress:
from the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict of Virginia. Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Jones name appears on
the official ballot. he urges his friends
and the republicans of his district to
vote for Mr.. Thorp. The address is
as follows:
Washington, D. c., Oct. ~, 1898.
To the Republican voters of the
Fourth Congressional District OF
Virginia:
1t is we'll known to you that was a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for Congress in our district, and
sought the nomination at the Chase
City Convention. The delegates to
that convention divided and organized
two conventions, one nominating me;
the other nominating Hon. K. I.
Thorp.
The Republican Party is far greater
than either of us. The maintenance
of it's asendency is of more importance
than the success of any individual.
The question as to who is the regular
and legal nominee of our party has
been submitted to our highest party
authorities. The National Congress
sional Committee has decided that
the Hon. K T. Thorp is the regular
legal nominee for Congress. He is rec
ognized as such by the national COM
mittee, presided over by the Hon. NJ.
A. Hanna, and is recognized by all
party authorities as the friend of the
national administration, in the success
of which all republicans are deeply
interested and feel just pride.
While | am sincerely thankful to the
friends who have stood by me-my in
tereSt in the welfare of the Republi.
can Party and my devotion to its prin-
cipleS will not permit me to stand in
the way of its success. | therefore
ldhC lulS OppOl lullilf W lCl Tic ICpuO
lican voters of our district know that
l have Withdrawn, and do now retire
from the race for Congress, and | call
upon all true republicans, especially
upon those who have heretofore favor
ed my candidacy, to go to the polls on
November s, 1898, and cast their bal
lots for the Hon. K. I. Thorp, the
regular and only republican nominee
for Congress in our district While
my name will necessarily appear upon
the official ballnt-it being now too
late to prevent this-I trust you will
not vote for me. By SO doing you will
simply aid the democratic candidate.
MIR. Thorp is true republican, firm
supporter Of the administration Of our
President, and is a gentleman in every
way worthy of your support. | pro-
pose to support him myself and urge
every republican in the district to give
him their cordial support.

There is considerable stir in
political circles. Both parties are
waglng vigorous warfare for the old
flag and an appropriation. The great
stump orators are doing their best
at elimination and recrimination.
But the most effective orator of them
all is President Mckinley. Without
ostentatiOn he is dealing out great
chunks of wisdom and dispassion
ately and successfully cleaning
the political atmosphere. The
campaign book can't hold a light
to the wisdom, patriotism and
clean Americanism displayed by
the President and when the day of
reckoning comes it will be found
that the Administration will be

DAIRY BY-PRODUCTS.
In the Poultry Yard md in
the Pig Pen.

There are two way that what may be
termed the by-products of the dairy,
skim milk and the bu;termilk, can be
used to good advantage. One is to feed
them to poultry and one is to feed them
to pigs. Skim milk a be kept where
the fowls can help themselves and will
make both meat and drink. There is
nc danger Of their eating too much as
long as it is sweet. Have it in a clean
vessel and kept clean. and it will make a
sound, nutritious food and is good for
ali kinds and classes of fowls. Another
good way of using, and especially il
sour, is to make into curd. In this con.
dition it makes one of the very best
feeds for young turkeys especially. and
IL can be supplied literally. Another
good way of utilizing it is to mix up the
soft feed with it. In feeding poultry
more or less bran, corn meal, shipstuh
and ground oats can be fed to an ad.
vantage, and il is best to wet up with
milk when il can be had, as it is prefer.
able to water in nearly all cases.
In feeding to pigs one Of the best ways
Of feeding is to make into a slop with
shipstuff for growing pigs or for the
SOW that is sucking a litter. This
makes one of the best rations hat can
be supplied. Corn meal and bran can
be used with milk if shipstuf cannot
be had conveniently. Oil meal and
bran can be used in many cases to q
good advantage with milk. Especially
where good pasturage is provided a bet.
ter gain at a less cost can be secured
than to feed corn. Shipstuff and milk
furnish the elements needed for the
growth and development of bone and
muscle and a be supplied literally

Thfnx Of beauty and a. orna-
ment That Always plenses.

Many people like q screen OF ever
green trees as a windbreak around
some Of the farm buildings, and others
fancy a few of them in a clump orstand-
ing singly as ornaments or shades
around the grounds, yet many who set
them find fault with them after they
have been growing a few years, because
the lower limbs grow rusty or die out
entirely, and must be cut away, leav-
Ing the trunk exposed, and perhaps de-
stroying Their usefulness as a protec-
ton against The wind, which seems TO,
or, in fact, does, come under the
branches that remain with more force
than it would blow if the trees were not
there. We know Of but one remedy for
this. and that is the use Of the pruning
knife.
Cut back the top each year about two
thirds of the growth it has made. and
cut the ends of the upper limbs so as to
keep the whole tree in a pyramidal form.
/ Then thin out a few limbs near the bot
tom, that the sun may shine into 1T q
little, and the lower limbs will keep up
their growth of green, and Others Will
spread out to fill the spaces where
limbs were removed. The hemlocklends
itself kindly to this treatment and
should be used oftener than il is.
But whatever variety may be used,
they should be set far enough apart Sc
thai the limbs will fairly meet without
crossing when they nave been set n few
years. We have seen them set so closely
together that at four or five years
old they met, and then every other one
was cut out, and they were expected TO
spread out to fill the gap. This was the
intention when they were planted, as
the owner could not wait for his hedge
or %windbreak. But the result was moi
satisfactory. They had acquired the
habit of upright growth, being un'
pruned. and did not spread as he ex'
pected.
If they had been set twice as fa'
apart at first and cut hack at the tor
they would have filed the space fully il
