r.. L. PARKS Owns .whi,e IT'D.

Mr.. r. L. Parks, of Parksley, Va,
purchased Of Mr.. J. B. White, of Bay
view, on last Monday, that well
known and celebrated trotter,
White Tip" which gained such an
enviable reputation last year while
handled by Mr.. BENZ. T. Ames, OF
this city. The price paid for White
Tip was considered q very fancy
figure, but Mr.. Parks should COM
graduate himself upon being the
owner of this valuable trotter. Mr..
Ames only had him in training for 90
days and made a record for him that
would have done credit to any horse.
II he could have been made to do
such work as he did in 60 days train
ing, what could be made out of the
horse with proper training such as all
horses should have before going on
the track. He was winner in every
race that Mr.. Ames had him entered
in and was dreaded by all horsemen
when they saw him on the track and
made it "hot old time" for all of
the horses against him. He 10 solid
and sure horse and has fine qualities
and the longer you drive him the
better he gets. He won the first
money at Colchester in three straight
heats. at Easton he won the second
place, with 12 horses in the race, time
2:25, and won also in three other races.
1t is thought by all that White Tip
can trot a mile in 220 without any
trouble. We wish Mr.. Parks success
and are sure he has horse that can
be depended upon as a winner every

AccoMAc Court HOUSE, Va.
SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1899.

Hon. P. W. Mckinney, ex Governor
of the State of Virginia, is dead. he
passed away at his home in Farmville
on Thursday, honored and respected
throughout the State for his services
to her in war and in peace. 1t can be
truly said of him that he served the
old Commonwealth with honor to
himself and credit to the State in
every position to which he was called,
but as Governor of Virginia he was
best known and made the reputation
which gave him a high place among
It's most honored Chief Executives.
Elected Governor in one of the most
important periods of her history, he
accepted the position as a trust from
the people and from the day Of his
inauguration to the close of his term
the business interests of the State
commanded and received his almost
undivided attention. Unlike some of
the Chief Magistrates of the State he
did not care to parade himself before
the public and pose on all occasions
that were presented to him. He be-
lieved he was chosen to serve the peo-
pie and as to how we'll he succeeded,
it is enough to say, that the debt
question which had so long vexcd the
people of the State was settled upon
basis which the creditors accepted
and the settlement was due largely to
his labors. No interest of the State,
however, escaped his attention and
his record will show that he was ever
on the alert to do all that he could
that would promote her welfare. His
views on the oyster question espe-
cially commanded attention at the
time he was Governor and some of
the suggestions made by him regards
ing same have since been adopted.
Boss Malone, it will be remem>
bered too, went down in the contest
in which he was elected, and that in
itself, if he had accomplished nothing
more gave him place, in the opinion
of many in the history of Virginia
too important ever to be effaced or
forgotten by the living or by their
descendants.

The army reorganization and in
crease bill was passed by the House
of Representatives Wednesday, and
the extra session of Congress so long
threatened, and which, it has been SO
often stated, would be so detrimental
to the best interests of the country,
has disappeared. This Congress has
made an unenviable record for it's
profigate expenditure of the peoples
money and for its too ready COM
pliance with the wishes of Mckinley
in his imperialistic schemes, and its
demise at as an early date as possible
cannot be too heartily welcomed. Be-
fore another Congress convenes, the
good sense of the American people,
through its representatives, may as
sert itself and a better condition of
things prevail.

The latest news from the Philip
pines is not OF that encouraging char
acter, which would seem to indicate,
that the ''cruel war; is nearly over.
Many engagements are reported,
which show that our troops are being
constantly harassed by the Filipinos
and that lives are being lost almost
daily, anyone of which is worth more
than the whole group of Islands
which Mckinley and his supporters
insist that we shall acquire. The
Filipinos even claim that they have
600 American prisoners and that the
American losses are greater in pro-
portion than theirs. Its end, nobody
can predict, as long as Mckinley and
his advisers remain in power.

The oyster pirates OF My Mary
land" of late have been raiding again
the waters of Virginia and some OF
them, by reason of their indiscreet
attention to the Virginia bivaive,
have gotten themselves into trouble.
Three of them, because of their over
fondness for them, now occupy quar-
tiers in our jail under Indictment to
answer charges for dredging on Old
Womans' Marsh rocks, in the sacred
domains of the old Commonwealth.
They expected 'to steal our oysters
and run away to live to steal them
another day." but the ever vigilant
captain and crew of Police Schooner
Pocomoke caught them, and of course
there is howl at present among
certain class OF small-fry politicians
in "My Maryland" over the matter,
and that too despite the fact, that
they acknowledge that their oyster
pirates got over the line and violated
the laws of Virginia. If they cannot
protect them on one ground, how
ever, they would upon another, it
seems, and practically say they got
away with their booty and therefore
are entitled to it, the charge made by
them against the Virginia Oyster
Navy being, that they pursued their
pirates into Maryland and captured
them. Of course Maryland officials
do not endorse such code of ethics
and will not expect us to surrender
their oyster pirates and their boats,
even if what they say is true. The
comfy which ought to exist between
two sister States, go closely allied as
Virginia and Maryland are. is not
such an elastic thing as TO be stretch
ed to that extent. On the contrary,
if Maryland cannot curb the evil
propensities of some of her citizens
for oysters that do not belong to
them, she ought to be willing to ac-
cept the good Offices of Virginia in
that respect, however far into Mary
land we might have to pursue them.
