SANCTUM SENTIMENTS.

Capitalists of untold wealth meet
il. elegant club rooms and before
their departure they form some trust
and shoot up prices. Republicans
call that business enterprise. But
when the day laborers, who do not
own halls and club houses to meet
in, congregate upon the streets to
agree on what IL fair wages, the
same Republicans refer to them as
mobs and anarchists, who were
driven off the strests as rioters.-

Profits From Advertising.

A business man of Philadelphia
said the other day that Mr.. Wanna
makers profits from the Philadel-
phia store last year were over $l,750
600, and that those from his New
York establishment will run close to
that figure. The Saturday before
Christmas the receipts in New York
were even greater than those in
Philadelphia, and exceeded $500, 900.
The New York store has paid a profit
from the very day it was opened, al.
though two firms which occupied
the establishment since A. Il. Stew
arts death have failed. The reason
of Mr.. Wanamaker's great success
both in New York and Philadelphia
is his skillful and extensive adver
Using. 1t has been the rule to con
fine his advertising to newspaper
and magazines, on which he has
spent annually more than 100000 in
Philadelphia. The advertising bills
of his New York establishment ex-
ceeded even that sum last year.

A WOMAN IN THE FIELD.
Miss Lizzie ParramOre VIII Fight
For Accomac Courthouse.

The Dispatch has from time to time
published accounts of the contest in pro-
gress in Accomac county between the two
towns Of Parksley and Accomac Court
house, but 1t has never stated that the
gentler sex had begun taking part in
the fight.
Yet such is now the case. Miss LIZ
zie Parramore an attractive young lady
of Accomac. who Is wealthy In her own
right. announces publicly that she will
enter the lists. contributing time and
money To obtain the necessary sum for
the erection OF a Confederate monu-
ment at Accomac Courthouse, 10 Offset
the one which the HarmOnsOn-West Con-
federate Camp has recently decided TO
erect at Parksley.
Miss ParramOre Is very much in earnest.
She is a young woman Of great energy
and activity, and has declared she will
go into the fight to win.
The fight has already become warm. but
its temperature will be greatly increased
within the next few months, lest all signs
fail. Shortly after the Confederate camp
decided to locate the monument at Parks
lev. which is on the New York, Phila-
delphia and Norfolk railway, about four
miles from Accomac Courthouse. the
Board Of Supervisors met and decided TO
erect a new courthouse at AccOmac. and
thus forestall a movement said TO be on
foot to remove the county seat 10 Parks
lev. Accomac Courthouse Is about four
miles from the railroad. and has been the
county capital since Colonial days; in
deed. for a time long antedating the
Revolution.
The Board Of Supervisors was not con-
tent with making, or trying TO make 1t,
certain that the courthouse would not be
removed 10 Parksley, but even went to
the extent of decapitating, or attempting
10 decapitate, several of the county Of
fcials.
DR.. Fletcher Drummond. the physician
at the county almshouse, and Parks
lev man, was deposed, and DR.. A. Her
bert Lillston, Of AccOmac Courthouse
elected in his stead. Mr.. Roy White, Of
Parksley. the County Surveyor, and we'll
known i'm this city, having been educated
at Richmond College, was also gone after
and the county Judge was asked to APP
point a young Mr.. Rudiger. or Chlnco-
league in his stead
OF course the action of the board may
have been based upon reasons other than
those ascribed by the 'Parksley people,
hut the latter will not have 1t so.
Meanwhile, an effort win be made to get
out an Injunction to restrain the Board OF
Supervisors from building the court
houee at Accomac. and II Is understood
that people Of Parksley will enter upon
q campaign whose object will be the re-
moval Of the seat Of county government
IN tho thriving little railroad town.
