THE GREAT LAND SUIT.
Farreachng Verdict of The King
Case at Abingdon.

Bristol Va, September l9.-[Special..
The case Of Henry King, trustee. agains
Justice and others, was decided in The
federal court of Abingdon this evening
after trial lasting three weeks. The jury
rendered verdict in favor of the plain
tiff.
The action was one Of the most impor-
tant of its kind ever brought in the United
States. 1t involved the title TO 100000
acres of land lying in Virginia and West
Virginia counties and embracing the en-.
tire town site Of Williamson, West Virgin
ia. The tract which was in dispute was
granted to Robert Morris in 1895, He
afterwards sold it to General James
Swami, who died in Paris in 1881. Since
that time the land has been in the hands
of trustees for the creditors of General
Swami, who died bankrupt.
The verdict rendered to day means that
the land in question is the property
of the descendants of the creditors
of the Swami estate, and that the
hundreds of people who have held posses
ion of the property for years must surren-
der the same unless the United States Su-
preme Court shall see fit to reverse todays
decision.

THE KEY WEST SITUATION.
Now Over Four Hundred Cases of Yellow
Fever There.

Washington, September 19.-The yell
fever situation at Key West is regarded as
grave. Since the first case was reported
about three weeks ago, the epidemic has
been steadily growing, until today there
are about four hundred cases. New cases
are appearing at the rate of thirty a day,
but the mortality is low. Fifty,four cases
and two deaths were reported for Sunday
and Monday.
Attendant Hall, one of the Marine Hos
pital Staff, developed the disease last night
and he has been issolated.
AS Key West is situated below the frost
line, the epidemic will have to run its
course. Tie Marine Hospital Service has
been directing its efforts to confning the
epidemic to the island, and has been re-
warded with signal success. Only one in
fected person is known to have escaped,
and he was discovered at Miami and isoat,
ed. He has since recovered. All the sus.
poets at Port Tampa were placed in a de-
tenton camp and Assistant Surgeon Trot'
ter today reported that the camp would be
closed on Wednesday, as all the suspects
had been under observation ten days.
None but immunes are allowed to leave
Key West direct, and then only on certi'
icates. Others who desire to leave must
first 90 10 the detention camp at Diy Tor
tugas. The treatment Of the cases in Key
West is entirely under the supervision o.
the Florida State Board of Health. The
Marine Hospital Service is simply enforc
ing regulations with view to preventing
the spread of the disease.
One new case of fever was reported tt
the Surgeon General from New Orleans
today. The same report stated that freight
from New Orleans wGs undsturbed, ex
cept in Texas, which would not permit
freight originating in New Orleans to pas
through the State. Surgeon Carter, wh'
is in charge there, says there are few un
necessary restrictions. He will meet DR.
Sanders, of the State Board of Health 0
Alabama, today, to make arrangement
for the simplifying the train inspection
service.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.
Cooperation With the Census De-
partment Required.

Washington, September lS.-Special
effort is being planned by Statistician
Powers to secure full statistics of agicui-
ture in the South. The law requires the
crops and products only of 1899 to be TAX
en-, but they cannot be SO taken until June
I, 1900.
AS many of the great crops Of the Gulf
and south Atlantic States were marketed
il FEBRUARY, March and April of 1899, the
growers will be called upon to furnish sta
tisiics thereof which will be over one year
old when the enumerator arrives. Tha
census officials are using several channels
to urge the necessity of producers being
prepared to meet this difficulty, because
in the absence of such preparation, a cor
rect and full exhibit of Southern products
will be impossible.
Director Merriam, while determined to
give to the Southern States everything
that belong to them at any cost, suggests
that such a determination can be success
fully carried out only in case the people
heartily and universally cooperate with
the census officials to that end.

WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

The Democrats of Washington county
will hold convention on the 25th inst. to
nominate candidates for the House of Del.
egates. 1t is said that the delegates to the
convention stand 25 for Martin and 54 fol-
Tyler. Rhea has lost his grip in Washing
ton county. He is very warmly for Mar
tin.
On last Friday the barn of Mr.. 7. d.
Stephens, prosperous farmer, who lives
about three miles from Christiansburg,
Va, was burned. About two years ago
similar misfortune occurred to Mr.
Stephens. The loss is principally covered
by insurance.
Mr.. Sam Hurst, editor and publisher of
the Southwest Republican, lat Pulaski, Va,
was summoned before Judge Longley, of
the county court of Pulaski, on last Mon
day for contempt of court. MIR. Hurst
purged himself of contempt and the case
was dismissed.
A special election was held at Christians
burg, Va, on the 10Th instant, and the
town voted for issuing ten thousand dol
lars in bonds to build an electric light
plant. The vote stood one hundred and
twenty-five for and one against. The fel-
low who voted against the proposition
ought to offer motion to make it unani-
nous.
Noah Finley, who was hanged at Pu-
laski, Va, on last Friday, about an hour
before his execution made confession of
numerous crimes he had committed.
Among the list of crimes, consisting OF

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

"Where am at ?" is very natural
question for some of the aspirants for leg
islatve honors in Tazewell.
Politics seem to be very much mixed in
Tazewell county so far as the legislative
election is concerned When candidate
is spoken of the question is asked "is he
a Democratic Republican or Republican
Democrat ?"
The State Democratic Committee has
opened headquarters at Richmond and
will direct the present campaign in Vir-
ginia. We suppose the necessity for the
committee doing this work is to keep the
machine unbroken.
Congressman Jo Bailey, Of Texas, is 60
ing to Kentucky to make some speeches
for Goebel He ought to discuss the con-
tutionality of the Goebel election law.
Bailey is great on constitutional questions.
Over 100000 cars have been added this
year to the equipment of American rail-
roads, but the "car famine" is still unre-
lieved. This looks very much like things
are moving in this part of the world.
The Agpinaldists in the United States
continue to quote Admiral Dewey as being
opposed to the Presidents policy in the
Philippines and having said that our Gov
ernment ought'to stop this accursed war;"
The Admiral has denied making any such
statement; but that does not prevent the
unpatriotic citizens from continuing to use
it.
The Kearsmge, recently completed at
Newport News, Va. is the largest war vessel
in the Federal Navy. On her trip from
Newport News to the Brooklyn Navy Yard
the vessel made an excellent run and de.
veloped a greater energy than tue con-
tract requirement of 10000 horse power.
Her sister ship, the Kentucky, will soon
be completed, and they will be splendid
pair of battleships.
Major P. P. Johnson, former chairman
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Kentucky, and who is now candi-
date on the bolting ticket for Lieutenant
Governor of that State, has declared that
the Goebel election law is an outrage, and
''is capable Of being used to rob every citi.
zen of his franchise who fails to vote in ac-
cordance with the dictates of the men ap-
pointed to administer it," He also says:
"Are Democrats to be tempted by lust of
Office to ally themselves with shameful
methods and endeavor to fasten them on
the people of Kentucky under the mis-
taken idea that the State is to be kept in
line for 1900 in that way?" Major John.
son will find that the lust for vffice was
what caused the Goebel law to be created,
as was the Walton law in Virginia and its
predecessor the Anderson Mccormick law.
lie will find that the itching political lust
of some men Will cause them to do most
anything to get Office.

Washington, September 19.-Secretary
Root today received cablegram from
General Otis that seemed to indicate a
weakening on the part of insurgents. 1t
contains proffer to deliver the American
prisoners VINO have been for so many
months in the hands of the insurgents,
and also sought permission to parley with
General Otis.
The cablegram was at once taken by
Secretary Root to the cabinet meeting and
formed the main topic for discussion at
the beginning of the session. However,
upon reading the message carefully, Its ap-
parent importance seemed to diminish.
Secretary Root himself did not regard the
matter Of importance at this time. He
recalled frequent efforts on the part of the
insurgents in the past to gain time at criti-
cal moments by opening negotiations os-
tensibly with the object of making peace,
and he was not sure that this last offer
was something of the same kind. How
ever that may be, the Secretary was of
the opinion that it would fail to afford
the insurgents any advantage. General
Otis would receive any messenger and lis
ten to him and make answer to his propo-
sails, but this would not in the slightest de-
gree restrain the military operations, and
the American army would lose no ground,
no matter how the negotiations turned
out.
