A Sad Accident.

On last Thursday evening at
o'clock, little andre Craft, aged eight
years, while standing before the
CRATE, at the home of her aunt, Mrs
Lenny Bruce, caught fire, and before
the flames could be extinguished, was
so horribly burned that she died at
l2:l5 a. m. Saturday. Her body,
from her knees to her throat, was
burned into a crisp, and her suffering
must have been intense. Her re-
mains were inferred in the family
burial ground about "a mile from
town. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Walter Thornton.
The death of this little girl, who is
the youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam'l Craft, is the second that
has occurred from the same cause in
Mr.. Crafts family, another child
having been burned to death several
years ago.

The best prospect, and an inviting

in the erection and operation Of fac

the Filipines with articles for their
own use and consumption, but to
utilize in these factories the raw ma
terial Of the Philippines that is now
furnishing employment to the fac
tories Of other nations from whom we

a manufacturing base for the supply

consider the immense continental and

Something Worth Paying For.

The Lynchburg Aduance says ii
would be glad to see a Board of Par
dons created in Virginia. "Men OF
standing and of judgment should be
selected for this important duty"
and the Adrance holds that "they
should be paid a reasonable compen-
sation for their services" 1t adds:
1--WE doubt not that the Governor
would gladly welcome the assistance
of such a board in the exercise of a
function which consumes so much OF
his time and throws so heavy a res
possibility on his shoulders"
The view of the AdUdnce is the
correct one, we think. Whoever un-
dertakes to do this work will find
that requires much time, patient at
t~ention to details, and variod knowl-
edge of human nature. Moreover, if
the members of the board be consci-
e%ntious and sensitive men, they will
learn that the discharge Of their
duties will carry with it much worry
and care. For three reasons we
think the members of the board
ought to be paid for their services.
1t is not the custom of Virginia to
bestow lavish pay upon its servants,
and it need not be feared that in this
instance the Legislature will err upon
the side of extravaganza. From the
judges of the Supreme Court of APP
peals down, our State officials, with
few exceptions, are a poorly set Of
paid men. If there were not so many
officials in our State, county, and
city governments, we might be able
to pay better salaries. So, in the
matter of the Board of Pardcns-if
such a board be created-we trust
Virginia will follow the example Of
West Virginia rather than that Of
Tennessee when it comes to compen-
its members. Nor should the
in question be devolved upon
any other board whatsoever.
1t has been too much the practice
here in Virginia to add to the duties
of State officers by making them
Of various boards. That is
a poor way to economic. When a
board of pardonS is established, it
ought to be composed of persons
chosen for their special fitness for the
work in question. 1t is easy enough,
for instance, to ascertain the prison
record of any man applying for execu-
tive clemency, but those who have to
pass upon applications where much
can.and will be said on each side of
question, have a d~readfully diff
cult job to do. Many who are emf
qualified for business or pro-
fessional life would be at sea in de-
upon applications for pardons
or combinations.
Our Legislature can do nothing
and ought to do nothing-to curtail
power of the Governor with re-
,pect to the exercise of executive
,lemency; but if it chooses to do SO it
give him an advisory board, .
which may take off his shoulders a
vast deal of routine work and not a
title responsibility Richmond Dis

THE BUSINESS
COLLEGE.
At Bristol, Tenn.-Va.

Bristol has recently added to hel
list another excel ent educational in
stitution. The Southern Business Col.
lege, which was established in Ashe-
VILE, n. c., in 1892. has been
recently moved to Bristol, and during
the first month has enrolled 40
students. This is a very fine begin
ming. The school will doubtless
continue to grow rapidly, as students
cap enter at any time with equal
advantage. This is a thoroughly
equipped business college in every
respect with teachers who are experts
in their respective lines and courses
Of instruction not exulled by any
other business college in the South.

exceedingly reasonable. This to-
gether with the cheap railroad rates
for students of this section will make
it greatly to their advantage to attend
