The election OF 1900 will be holly con-

at this date, but one great strength OF
the campaign for the Democrats at that
time Will be that It will not have to bear
the sins OF so-called Democratic adj

the same administrations forces. That

One OF the most thoughtful men In this
State recently expressed 10 me the fear
that eventually the average negro would
be better equipped for the struggle OF
life. from an educational point of view,
than the children Of the poorest class or
whites.
1T is n lamentabe fact" he said. "that
while the negro IS keenly alive TO the op-
portunities offered by our public school
system for the education of his children,
many heads Of white families do not real

Speaking Of candidates. reminds me to
say that a RockbrdSe man informed me
recently that Hon. K. w. Wiuborne would
be returned 10 the House OF Delegates
from that county. In view of the fore
most position taken by Mr.. Winborne in
the fight for retrenchment in the last
Legislature, the announcement that he
Will be reelected by his people is in
teresting and significant j. would seem
to contradict the statement made by many
Of those who oppose his ccuIse, that
his constituents were Overwhelmingly
opposed to it.
The gentleman referred 10 thought that
Hon. j. j. Craig would also be returned
from Rockbridse. though it is understood
that Or. y. Nash Johnston Will contest

sentative.

heard one OF the Oldest and best
known politicians in Virginia the other
DAY pay a tribute to the influence Of
woman in politics. which was somewhat
remarkable, yet which nobody, probably,
will contradict.
Hon. w. =. Barksdale, State senator
from Halifax, and Judge George cas-
SELL of the Corporation Court Of Rad
ford. were talking to Hon. John Goode
in characteristically humorous way OF
their prospects of being sent to Congress
from the Sixth District, ana each was
making bids for the support Of the Old
statesman. One incidentally remarked
that the women of the district were with
him.
"Then that settles it," said AR. Goode,
bringing his fist down on the table and
speaking with utmost emphasis. Il
want to say to you young gentlemen
that l have been in politics great deal
I'm the course of long life. l have par
ticipated in many a hard-fought cam
paign. / say to-day what Is as true as
Gospel. that / have never known man
to lose a political fight If the women
were with him.
Mr. Goodies estimate OF the power OF
woman in politics is shared by thousands
Of politicians.
Yet not all politicians seem to realize
this power of woman. nor how easily
one woman can array her whole sex
against a man If she choose. and has ap-
parent cause. \ young lady who operates
4 typewriter in an Office in this city re-
marked 10 me the other day that she had
never failed to receive the most chival-
rous courtesy from the many men who
are In the Office during the day.
ayes, there's one exception she said,
and her eyes snapped, and a flush came
to her checks. MIR. -- naming a we'll
known Nirginlam never removes his hat
when he comes in. He is the only man
who does not Governor Tyler always
does. Mr.. - appears never to see
me. Now L never see him"
One Of the biggest and best-known men
in Virginia is State-Senator George b..
KeezeIl. of Rockingham. lie has served
in the Senate about fourteen years. That
in itself. coupled with the foremost posi-
ton Mr.. Keezell has long had in the Sem
ate. would give him a wide acquaintance,
but the fact that he IS six feet and half
tall, and weighs about go pounds, has
also made him q towering figure in the
public eye.
Short men. and long men, but lean, VIII
be Interested TO know to what Mr.. Keezell
ascribes his generous physical develop
ment.
81 think baseball had much to do with
making me such a big man." he said the
other night laughing In his genial way.
Il did not inherit my size. When l was
a boy | used TO be a great baseball play
or. 1 have thought often that caused me
to he cuch a giant I'm size. ~
Mr.. Keezell is 4 giant in strength, also,
a fact well established by the hearty,
bone-crushing grip he gives the hands OF
his friends. BY the by, there are per-
sistent rumors Of the intention of the
Rockingham senator to be a candidate
for the position of State Treasurer next
winter lie Will only admit he has heard
the rumor. Mr. Hartman will be a candi-
date for reelection. 1t will require all
the popularity and all the energy and
political ability Mr.. Keezell possesses to
land the office if Mr.. Hartman desires TO
retain it,.

lying ridge of the Manacles early this
morning at II point half mile from
where the wrecked Atlantic transport

at Cherbourg and picked up fifty pas

gers, who numbered $50, were brought
to Falmouth. where they obtained
lodgings for the night.
