Many of the newspapers throughout the
country have commented upon the case
of q negro youth in Alexandria county,
who. after conviction of a gross INSIDE
meanor, was severely whipped, by
order Of the presiding justice. In
some instances these northern ana
western papers. which in every
act OF punishment melted out to
negroes see evidences of southern race
hatred, undertook to make capital OF the
marer and TO intimate that the convict
had been cruelty treated. We answered
these thrusts by showing that the Legs
lature OF ls97-'9S passed a law which en-
powers judges and magistrates TO sub
stitute punishment by stripes for
fines and Imprisonment, where the
offender is under JIG years OF age.
That statute we quoted in part,
and In concluding our remarks on this
subject we expressed the opinion that the
negro in question had received his just
deserts, and that his fiogging was like
ly TO have a most salient effect upon him.

he and his parents had reason 10 be
thankful that the youth was whipped in
stead OF being fined or imprisoned.
A Virginia contemporary OF ours APP

Trouble.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, September 1S
Charles A. PillsburY, the well-knOwn

account of poor health, Mr.. Pillsbury
went to Europe, December ], 1928, and re-

he consulted with eminent physicians
in London, Paris. Vienna, and Ber-

that he was suffering from heart trouble.

which, I'm turn was due TO overwOrk
and insufficient physical exercise. After
reaching home, he gradually grew strong

he played cards with his wife. and pass

During Saturday night he complained OF
great pain, and physicians were sum
moned. They remained with him through
the night and Yesterday, until a short
time before Mr.. Pillsbury died. He was
conscious to the end. and talked 10 his
wife and friends, who were In the room.

Drcrying the Independent.

blackstone COutler)
We noticed few days ago In some eX-
change the statement that Governor Ty-
Ter was opposed TO the independent move
ment cropping out in so many portions OF
the State. We are unable TO see the ne
cessity for making the above statement
No one could think for moment that
the Governor would encourage such move
ments. No one has ever charged him,
we believe, OF being untrue to his party
or 10 the voice of that party when eN-
pressed. The Governor, like all true DEM
ocrats, believes I'm a majority ruling, ana,
when they have met and legally and pro-
perIy declared their choice, he, like others
true to the faith, accepts the declaration
as binding.
Again, the address issued by the Repub-
lican State Committee was intended as an
encouragement to the Republicans 10 sup
port the Independents. The Governor and
his friends, recognizing this. could not for
a moment lend encouragement along the
same lines, even though he himself might
be the beneficiary. No, among all the
things that have been said about the Gov
ernor, no one has questioned his pure De-
mocracy, the keystone of which Is the
majority rules"

GOLD NOT WANTED.

The Chicago banks report that tnei
southern correspondents who have drawn
upon them for funds with which 10 move
the crops are protesting against the d.
mand's being met by shipments of gold
In place OF notes. The protest, II Is said
is based upon the fact that the gold does
not become circulating medium. The
farmers 10 whom the gold Is paid show
disposition to hoard II. and postpone TIA
payment OF their debts In order to re-
tain possession OF tho yellow metal.
Precisely. And this accentuates two
very important considerations that enter
into the solution of the financial problem
First. gold cannot be popularized as
currency OF the people, and an attempt
TO distribute II converts II into a medium
OF currency contraction. The Individual
is not different from the banks In
respect of this matter. He disiikes l.
give up gold. The second consideration
accumulated is, that we have not enough
of the most convenient form OF currency
which is the note-to carry the bust
ness OF the country; for were 1t other
wise. the banks would not meet the drain
on them from their gold holdings.
And the worst OF 1t is, that these en-
barrassments TO business must Increase
pari passu with the disposition of bust
ness to develop and until they shall reach
proportions that may seriously hamper
DEVELOPMENT. unless our banking and cur
rency system is radically reformed. Or
the gold, which owing to the scarcity OF
notes the banks emit for crop moving,
the greater part that is distributed in
the cities quickly returns to the banks.
But Of such as goes into the country
large percentage is boarded. 1t disap-
pears. 1t does not become medium of
settlement and circulation. 1t performs
no financial function, either in banking,
in individual transactions, or in the mat
ter Of relief from currency dearth." In
a recent calculation as TO the amount OF
gold in the country, a vast sum, classi-
fed as lost to business and banking"
could only be accounted for by crediting
1t to old-stocking account.
So, we say. the distribution Of gold
among the people tends to currency con-
traction At the same time 1t affords
striking evidence of the growing neces-
sity for furnishing a greater volume OF
circulating medium that will circulate.

The Charlottesville Daily Progress is
years old. IL was started because of the
belief on the part of its founder that a
small daily newspaper, devoted t0 the
local interests of Charlottesville and Al
bemsrle county, could be made self-sus-
tanning from the start, and, possibly
profitable in time. The Progress began
as a five-column folio, and announced
that Il would not attempt TO compete
with the dailies in larger cities; but
would be strictly a local newspaper, de-
voted TO the material advancement of
its city and county.
Now our contemporary Is seven-col-
umn paper, and gives every evidence that
the belief of the founder has been fully
justified. In all OF its departments II
suggests prosperity and progress.
