not q portion OF the district that does

1t has been classsd silver camp because
the high grade ores have been silver.
Other sections Of the state where there
are no producing mines are being doomed

columns to the possibilities Of obscure

ing journals and state dailics do not
wiifully neglect or overlook any section,
and again there is great expense attached
to operating such publications and while
matters Of legitimate news are always

Freedom OF press and Of speech are OF
the greatest boons Of American govern
ment. Sensational journalism, however.
is carried to such ridiculous extremes
that press censorship may become an
absolute necessity. American newspa-
pers which publish reasonable utter

deserve no consideration at the hands Of
the government or respect from the
public. We need not throttle them in
the cause Of patriotism, but IL some Of
them continue their rank sensationalism
they should be suppressed in the cause

On the.2 Sth of June handsome
Confederate monument will be I'M
yelled at Chatham, the county seat OF
Pittsylvania county. 1t is a beauti-
full granite shaft, erected by the Com
pany | Memorial Association, OF
Chatham, and is in special memory
of the dead of Company l, Thirty
eighth Virginia Regiment. This
splendid company, which fought
from Bethel Church to Appomattox
Courthouse, was composed of young
plen who lived in and near Chatham.
The Sth OF June will be a great day
in Chatham. Imposing ceremonies
have been arranged for. and an ad-
dress Will be delivered by Senator
John w. Daniel.
The above dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun under date. May 2Sth, tells
the same old story that Confederate
monuments are erected at county
seats. Why Accomac should be the
exception only to the rule, of course
we do not see, and naturally with the
great majority we believe, of the
citizens of the county, will be disap-
pointed if the monument to our Con.
federate dead is not also placed at
the county seat.

The Committee on location of the

The Committee on location of the
Confederate Monument on the East
ern Shore decided to locate the mon
ument at Parksley and not at either
Courthouse, OF the two counties on
this side of the Bay. Eastville offer
ed them all the extra money asked
for by the Committee, yet they decid-
ed to choose Parksley because that
place offered $4,000 against $3.50 0C
offered by other places. 1t seems that
the thing was planned this way and
it was useless for Eastville to bid,
The Committee ought to give this
county its share Of the money raised
and let us build q simple shaft to the
Confederates of this county and To-
cate this one at the county seat, where
the people can see it and remember
what it stands for.-Eastern Shore

of everything desired and not relying
on the committees statement knew
money would be the maximum con-
sideration and not the minimum as
was so earnestly impressed upon us.
The one thing Member of Cons
mitteen is accurate about is the fact
we pointed them to public grounds
as a suitable place, and we do so now
and claim it to be the only proper
place in the county of Accomac'
True, the committee has q right to
their opinion, and the fact that Con,
federate monuments are erected at
Courthouses all over the State and
that we differ with them, is no reason
they are wrong. Minorities are some-
times right.
The idea that q Virginia Legisla>
ture would ever remove from its pub
lie grounds monument erected to
it's Confederate dead. is the silliest
vaporings of an excited imagination,
unworthy OF an eX Confederate and n
reflection upon that honorable body
That we were disappointed, goes
without saying, and did we not have
right to be when a member of this
committee told citizen of this town
that he was for us and then find this
same man voting against us,we could
not be expected to appear joyful.
We make no comment upon this, but
are ready to give names when called
upon. There were other members of
this committee whose votes were cor
fidently expected by citizens OF the
C. H, from conversations had with
them, but we are frank to say no
member acted in bad faith with us,
although, in talking with some of
them, we too, counted on their votes,
but that proves nothing, Parksley
reasoning in the same way may have
expected these same votes.
The offer of Gen. West was made
to the committee while DR.. Ayres
was reading our petition to them and,
interrupting him, stopped, until the
Gen'l. concluded and then resumed
reading. Why he was not heard We
do not attempt to explain. We have
letter from Gen'l. West corrobora-
ting this statement.
Member of Committee refers to a
statement said to have been made by
US to the effect that there would be
no doubt about the citizens of the
G. H., raising the necessary money"
We wish to say this statement was
made by us in direct reply to an in
terrogation from Mr.. j. H. Wise and
was heard by this committee.
Now in conclusion, we were never
asked to sign any contract, saw any,
or heard of any. We would have
done so if given the opportunity and
the imputation that contract signed
by us for the amount involved here,
would not bind any one and could
not be considered, is unworthy of dis
cussion. We were there to represent
the petitioners and the Confederate
Monument Committee knew it.

it was considered the most suitable
place, were the inducements which
Parksley offered sufficient to make
the decision of the committee final
and irrevocable, if mistake was
