THERE are several reasons for sbeliev-

very bright. The democratic leaders

that Mclean will be next Governor, and
the alarm among the republicans. which
is shared by Mr.. Mckinley, Strengthens
this belief.

VIRGINIA VETERANS.
Report of The History Committee
Presented And Adopted.

Pulaski, Va, Oct 13-The Grand
Camp of Virginia Confederate Veter-
ans assembled yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock and WAS opened by
prayer by Rev. j. William Jones,
chaplain general, after which DR..
Hunter Mcclure read the report Of
the history committee, which was &C
cepted by unanimous vote, and the
camp returned vote of thanks TO
the committee for it's excellent work.
The report was quite lengthy, and
was supplemented by a series of reso
lutions. After condemning two we'll
known histories published in the
North, the resolutions go on to say:
THAT in our judgment we cannot
use Northern histories in Southern
schools, and in our action upon this
esolution we invite the cooperation
of the other Grand Camps of the
South.
THAT it is recommended to our
confederate Camps to inquire into
the cost Of and expediency of pub
fishing and circulating throughout
the State such sketch of the errors
that have been and now are being
promulgated in Virginia as will rouse
the young people falsely taught dur
ing the past years to attempt their
own re- education.
land as a suggestion to the library
committees of our various camps,
that we recommend the readiHg of
the following books and papers:
1.-THE Origin of the Late War; by
Mr.. George Lunt, an attorney of Bos
ton, published in 1866. appleton &
Go A book to be read by our people
even at cost of steps to be taken to
secure its republication.
"Lieutenant-Colonel Henderson's
campaigns of Stonewall Jackson
the new edition of which, it is hoped,
will be easily within our reach.
1.-The Southern States of the
American Union, by j. L. M. Curry.
THAT the Grand Camp of the Con
federate Veterans of Virginia
earnestly appeal to all the other
camps in the South to demand the
elimination Of all false histories from
public and private schools; that they
appoint committees whose duty it
shall be to see that this is done; to
urge the Sons of Veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy to CO.
operate with them in this holy work,
and to remember that unless this
effort is made, the curse that belongs
to those who dishonor father and
mother will belong to them"

Election day is near at hand and
while there is nothing in the demo-
cratic outlook on the Eastern Shore
to cause us any serious Apprehension
as to the result at the polls on that
day, it will be well enough to guard
against surprises by going to the polls
and casting our votes for the nomi-
nees of the party. Apathy and in
difference has led to defeat at times
when least expected and the success
of one of our candidates might be in
jeopardy at this election if we are too
sanguine of success and stay away
from the polls. No democrat, OF
course, will fail to vote if there is a
prospect, however remote, OF Mr..
Nottingham being defeated by his
opponent, but in the presence OF an
enemy we have no right to take any
chances. 1t is better always to
practice that discretion which is the
better part of valor than to court de-
feat by indifference-and there is
need always Of watching foe that
can be massed against US in a night,
and the best way of doing it is not by
resolving to vote if it is necessary on
the 18th, of November but vote be-
cause it is our duty TO do so.

TO BUY OYSTER BEDS.
A Syndicate Formed To Purchase the
States Holdings.

Interest is being created among
State officials by the announcement
that 81 syndicate has been formed IN
New York for the purpose of purchas
ing the oyster beds Of the State OF
Virginia. Official interest, however,
is as nothing as compared to that
which the news will cause among the
citizens of the Tidewater section.
1t is stated that the syndicate has
already been formed. Nearly all the
capital comes from New York. 1t is
understood that several Virginians
are also financially interested.
1t is said to be assured that tre-
mendous effort will be made at the
next session of the Legislature to
have that body take the preliminary
steps looking to an amendmento of the
Constitution so as to admit OF the
sale of the beds. Several prominent
Virginians are said to have been
secured already for the purpose OF
presenting the arguments for sale.
The effort to have the State sell its
oyster-grounds will meet with tre-
mepdous opposition. Every man,
woman, and child in Tidewater Vir--
ginia Will be opposed. 1t isexpected
that the members of the Legislature
from Southside Virginia, Piedmont,
the Valley, and the Southwest will
be those most likely to vote to suit
the members of the syndicate. Tide
water members will be q unit op
posing the proposition.
1t is not likely, however, that there
will be as many members Of the COM
ing General Assembly advocating the
sale of the beds as there were in the
last. This is due to the fact that the
esta blishment of the State Board of
Fisheries has made the oysters of
Virginia q source of revenue, instead
of al expense alone. The net income
to the State this year was a little
upwards of $4,000. Last year there
was a deficit of $4,000. However,
there has been a great deal of OPP
position to the new law, and large
number of cases are now pending in
the courts.
An oyster inspector said yesterday
that he had eXerted every influence
to make the people of his district
comply with the law. and help make
it q success. He is firmly of the opin
ion that for several reasons there is
danger OF the Legislatures selling
the oyster-beds. At the last Legis>
lature there was an understanding
that the oysters were to be given one
more show-the one which was given
them by the LeCato fisheries bill
He regrets that the people of his Sec
ton have shown any opposition to
the new law Tens of thousands of
Virginians would find it hard to make
living other than poor one were
the State oyster-grounds to pass into
the hands of private owners.
The next Legislature has TO vote
finally on the proposition to amend
the Constitution so as to admit Of the
taxation of tongers. If the bill
passes at this session the amendment
will then be submitted to the people.

Was Made a Mason Mt Sight.

An event 80 rare as to always at
tract marked attention in the Mason
ic world is the making of a Mason
"at sight," In the history of Free
masonary in the Old Dominion, it
has been done twice.
The first time was last year when
the Rev. DIR. Moses D. Hoge was so
honored. The second was last Mon
day night when Grand Master R. T..
w. Duke, Jr.. conferred the Entered
Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master
Mason degrees on DR.. Edmund Lee
Woodward, whose sudden decision to
go as medical missionary to Shanghai,
China, precluded his receiving the
degrees in any other manner. He
was anxious before going on his mis-
sion of mercy to become member of
the great brotherhood, and after
careful consideration of the matter
Judge Duke decided to exercise the
prerogative.
The Grande Lodge was accordingly
convened and the most impressive
exercises were witnessed by the small

The announcement, that a syndi-
cate has been formed in New York
for the purpose of purchasing the
oyster beds of the State, will be re-
ceived with alarm by many in Tide
water Virginia, dependent upon them
for a support, however remote the
prospect of the success of such a
scheme. The proposition is such a
monstrous one that it would be ac-
cepted as the silly tale OF some idle
dreamer, if the contrary opinion was
not warranted by the efforts of CAPT
talists all over our land at present to
monopolize everything of value with
in their reach which their greed has
suggested to them. 1t would be e
matter of no concern, of course, to
them that such proposition if &C
cepted, would mean that thousands
of the citizens Of the State would be
left without employment and the
means of making q living, or would
that class OF our citizens care who are
ever willing to render the promoters
of such schemes their aid for a cons
sideration. That the great body Of
the people of Virginia, though, would
be in revolt against such an injustice
ought hardly to admit Of doubt,
and at this time especially could
there be no reason, with the oyster
beds of the State yielding an annual
revenue to the State OF $4,000 or
more. for anyone favoring such a
vicious scheme. 1t will fail beyond
question, but the thought must be
suggested to everyone interested III
the oyster industry, that there might
be danger if the present system of
collecting revenues from oysters
should prove failure, and that it is
their duty to see that it is not by
their disposition to meet every Oh
legation it imposes, and to submit
even to a greater burden in the way
of taxation if it should be necessary
for proper enforcement of the law
regarding oysters.

The Enterprise is published a day
earlier than usual this week in order
to place before the public information
concerning the unwilling of the Con-
federate monument at Parksley
The exercises, as will be noted,
promise to be very interesting, and
aside from that fact, duty demands
that everyone who loved the Lost
Cause be present, who can, to assist
in the ceremonies intended to honor
our Confederate dead and perpet-
nate their deeds of valor and the
cause of justice for which they fought
and died. The monument is worthy
of them and we honor ourselves in
erecting the SPLENDID shaft to their
memory.

Governor Tyler persists. in declar-
ing, despite the drawbacks which he
has had in the race for the United
States Senatorship, that he will win
OUT and If the dissatisfaction which
seems to prevail in Virginia because
of the methods used to defeat him
counts for anything there is some
reason for the claim he makes. There
is little doubt that he is the choice of
the people of the State and there
ought to be no question as to his sue
cess,if our representatives in the next
Legislature reflect the wishes of their
constituents, instead of voting to
please themselves or the bosses.

Judge Harris Dead.

Hon. John T. Harris, one of the
most conspicuous figures in Shenan-
doah Valley politics and shining
legal light at the Harrisburg bar for
half century. died on Saturday
night of heart affection.
Judge Harris was seventy-six years
old. He was born in Buckingham
county, but removed to Augusta
county with his parents when he was
a youth. He taught school and stud
led law, being admitted to practice
at the Harrisonburg bar. he i'm
mediately entered the field of politics,
He held various county Offices and
was county judge. He was five times
elected to Congress from the Seventh
District.
Judge Harris declined renomina.
ton in 1880, and resumed the prac>
tice of law. He had for several years
previously kept Democracy the domi-
nant party in the district despite the
onslaughts of the Readjuster hosts,
and rendered the party and its peo-
pie great service.

The Methodist Orphanage.

The Orphanage Committee of the
Virginia Conference, Methodist Epis
copal Church, South, of which Rev.
DR.. W. J, Young, of Norfolk,is chair
man, held a meeting here on Thurs
day, to select site for the institu-
ton. 1t was decided to locate it in
Highland Park, if sufficient ground
can be obtained on satisfactory terms.
There is not thought to be any doubt
on this point. 1t had previously
been decided that the orphanage
should be located in or near Rich
mond.
A gentleman whose name is with
held for the present, agrees to erect
q IS, 900 cottage as soon as location
is secured.
1t is intended to make the build
ings and grounds very attractive, and
to provide comfortable house and
school for all the Methodist orphans
