The session of the Margaret Acad-
envy, which has just closed, has been
prosperous one and more than up
to the expectations of the public. II
was predicted soon after the arrival
of the headmaster, to take charge oi
the school, that it would soon unde,
his management receive the patron
age which would assure it success
but no one thought that the ole
school would be so soon be re-estab.
lished on a paying basis. That it il
so, is gratifying to the friends Of the
school, but will occasion no surprise
to anyone who understands the
methods used by Rev. R. A. Robinson
the headmaster of the Academy. He
believes in discipline, thoroushnes.
in teaching, personal oversight and
character building and having giver
a practical demonstration of his be-
lief along these lines in conducting
the affairs of the school during the
past session, the success of the school
should cause no surprise. The AGA
DENY in our opinion is under e3-
cellent management, deserves the
liberal patronage OF the people of the
Eastern Shore and ought to receive
it.

Hon Richard ?. Bland. statesman,
farmer and financier is dead. He was
for many years valuable member of
Congress, and made an enviable re.
cord in that body for his honesty and
advocacy of measures in the Interest
of the people, but is best known to
the country as the uncompromising
champion of silver. For a quarter
of century or more This voice was
heard in defense of it from the ros-
tum. the stump and in the halls of
Congress" and to the day of his death
he continued "the advocacy of the
free coinage OF silver at the ratio of
16 to l, with or without the consent
any other nation" He was a prom
inent candidate for the presidential
nomination in 1896 and would
have secured it but for the celebrated
speech of MIR. Bryan in the conven-
ton.

Texas, indorsing the proposed anti

Entered at the Postofflce at Accomac
G. f., w., as second-class matter.

The commission men of New York
think that the farmers in this section
would do better to hold their pota-
toesn and the question ito ship OF
not to ship, "therefore,i is engaging the
attention of our farmers at this time
The reason for the advice is indicated
by the following extract from a letter
of S. B. Downes s. Co.. to a trucker
near Norfolk: I'VE have not felt like
encouraging your people to ship here
because the drought is doing such
terrible damageto the potato crop on
Long Island that the misfortune to
the people there must work to the
advantage of Virginia shippers, mas
much as it will make the season for
shipping longer. The Long Island
crop must be light and quality poor.
1t is therefore, fair to expect good
prices for late potatoes" The ques-
ton of shipping or not, if potatoes
are ripe and ready for market is one,
OF course, which the farmers must
decide for themselves and we would
not presume TO advise them, but
there can be no difference of opinion
of the wisdom ''of holding" them in
the light of the above statement, if
they are not matured. What we
know about farming wouldn't fill a
book, perhaps. but common sense
teaches us that nothing is so likely
to depress the market as green Irish
potatoes, and if the judgment OF
commission merchants is to be relied
on, there is reason for waiting on
them and the prospect of being bene-
fitted by doing so.

The Next GOyernorShlp.
The Richmond Times says:

1T is stated by persons who are
supposed to enjoy the confidence OF
Representative w. a. Jones, that
one reason why he declined to run
for the Senate is that he expects to
become candidate for Governor two
years from this time.
There is hardly any doubt that Mr..
Jones has made up his mind to aspire
to succeed Gov. Tyler. People from
his district say it has been known to
them for some time that the Con-
gresham is likely to run for the
Office.
According to the gossip in political
circles, the representative from the
First district will begin early TO Or
ganize his forces to capture the nom
nation.
There will undoubtly be a pretty
race for the Governorship. States
Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson is known
to DE q candidate. Marshall McCor
mick, of Clark, will be a candidate,
and there is talk of Representative
Swanson entering the race. Some
people think that Lieutenant-Gov.
Echols may become candidate. p"

The report current that the Hotel
Cham berlin at Old Poiut will shortly
close has been contradicted by Mama
ger Alan F. Campbell, who said that
the Chamberlin has this year done
the largest business it has ever done.
He said also that the number OF peos
pie from the South and West who
have engaged rooms for the present
summer is unusually large.
1t is probable that home for SUI
perannuated ministers Of the Vir,
GINA conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, will be
added to the orphanage which it has
been decided to establish in Rich
mond. 1t is thought that by adding
the home feature the aged ministers
who accept such home can be better
provided for than under the present
plan. The scheme does not contem-
plate compulsory residence.
The argument for a new trial IN
the case of Colonel" Gould P. Aus
tin, recently convicted in the County
Court of Elizabeth City county OF
criminal assault upon little Bertha
Tappin, and sentenced TO eight years
in the penitentiary, is assuming a
most sensational phase. Counsel for
the defense has presented affidavlts
signed by two women and a justice
of the peace, declaring that the girl
had confessed to them that she was
bribed to bring the charge against
Austin.
The forthcoming annual report OF
commissioner of Labor Montague
will contain some interesting figures
connected with the farming land and
products Of this State. Probably
half of the Commissioners report
will be devoted to information in
connection with agricultural pur-
suits. 1t will show the cost of pro-
duction and the selling price OF wheat,
tobacco and other leading staples OF
Virginia. The average value of lands
and the adaptability of the different
sections of the State for various
crops, as we'll as the average amount
received by farm laborers, is given III
Mr. Montague's report.
A committee of the Charles Broad

further ask that suitable bases and

that an appropriate monument be

The Richmond correspondent of

the prettiest fight we shall witness

How is it you clothe your boys on such pay?
I know you will think it conceited and queer,
But do it because am good financier
There's Pete, John & Jim, Joe, William g Ned,
A half dozen boys to be clothed and fed;
buy for them all plain vctuals to eat,
But clothing buy only for our son Pete
When Pete's Clothes are too small for him to 60
NY wife makes them over and gives them to John,
When for John who is they have grown out of date
She lust makes them for Jim who is eight.
When for Jim they have become too ragged to fix,
She just makes them over for Bill who is six,
And when for young Bill they will no longer do
She lust makes them for Ned who is two
So you see if 1 get the good clothing for Pete
The family is furnished with clothing complete,
He has thrown them aside what do you do with then?
Why once more we go round the circle complete
And begin to them for patches for Pete,
But where dear friend you buy clothes that wear,
From Pete down to Ned without rip tear?
I 90 down to CLICKS his stock is the best,
He can suit the whole family, my wife and the rest.
