Not Practicable.

The October number of the La

Sheldon's answer to the question:
is religion as set forth in his book.
''In His Steps," practicable? The
book i'll question claims to set forth
the only true and practical chris
tianity, "a taught by Christ. This
Chr. stianity, says its author, is not
practicable today, as busir ess is at

plan set forth in the book, would
cause great revolutions in business
OF course, aud entail much loss of
money. 1t would seem, ther efore.
that Christianity, as Eau Int by

The Electric Liqhfs.

The street lights were turned on
last Monday evening all over the
town, and for the Inst time LIGHTS
shone on all our principle streets, all
night. The lights are success
Some of our people, who are not
familiar with electric lights, were
expecting them to be larger, but
everybody seemed delighted. MANY
OF our young people walked up and
down the streets late into the night
only to enjoy to enjoy the lights
No citizens of he town enjoy the
lights more than Tazewell Avenue
people. who have been living in dark
ness. That avenue is now well
lighted from one end to the other
The lower end of Mechanics Avenue
one Of the toughest parts of all our
streets and one of the most travelled
is still left in the dark, as the lights
don't "meet." AS we said last week
we hope light will be placed there.

Where Are Our FIiDinos?

AS we understand this thing
bought those Filipinos, islands and
all, for S2O,OOO,OOO, and we think
Spain is obligated to deliver us our
goods and chattels, marked this
side up with care,' or in any other
shape that we demanded.
When we make a purchase at a
grocery store we do not contemplate
knocking down the porter or shoot
ing the delivery wagon driver to get
our bundles out of ste ok. aud when
we produce S2O,OOO.OOO for a few
million yellow men and women and
a jungle-infested island or two, we
ought not to be expected shoot
80, . -. vi more of smokeless
powder and carry over 10000 IN, n
to receive the Junk we purchased.
What we bought them for aud
what we are going to do with them
are outside and entirely superfiuous
questions. We bought them alright
and Spain has failed utterly to de-
liver tine goods We think it was an
awiully poor purchase. No shrewd
bargain driver would buy bird up
tree or wild horse loo ,e on the
prairie, and the fellows who bought
that outfit in the jungles and put up
$50. 100000 OF good revenue stamp
collected money can never hope for
our endorsement as first-class as.
sortment of purchasing agents.
1t looks TO us as though it was
rather hard to go and buy n bunch
OF wild people and then have to 60
and catch them and tame them our.
selves. Spain has not treated us
right about that purchase, and the
more we think of the expenditure Of
that S2O,OOO,OOO, the more their
creeps over us the feeling that there
is sort of gold-brick job in the deal.

The newspapers inform us that
President Mckinley, while on his
western tour of sightseeing. etc,
in one of his speeches from the rear
platform of Il passenger coach, said .
"We are on a gold basis and we
mean to stay there Experience has
fought us that, while we listen re.
specially to what the President
says, that 1T is not Away, safe to
rely to implicitly upon bis words.
We do not wish to lay ourselves
liable to the charge Of d scourtesy.
or Of spe taking disrespectfully of the
Chief Magistrate, nevertheless, il is
IL matter of history that President
Mckinley has changed his mind
more than once on national policy,
and who knows but that he may do
so again? A few years ago Mr.. Nc.
Kinley declared with equal frmness
that the country was on a bimetalic
basis, and at one time ia making a
canvass of the State Of Ohio, he
criticized Mr.. Cleveland Very severe
ly for his oppo 'ition to bimetalism.
Further still, in 1896 Mr.. Mckinley
was candidate for President of the
United States on platform which
declared for bimetalism. 1t is not
impossible, therefore. that the vac
illating and unstable man who &C.
cupies the Presidential chair NAV
again change his mind. We are
told. furthermore, that Mr.. McKin-
ley, said few years ago In one of
his sre ches in Congress that
We have no right in laws or morals

another. whether it is pre- porty or

"People who live In glass houses
ought not to throw stones" is an
old saying, which applies in many
ways. There are moral, religious
and political houses of glass and
people who live in these should not
throw stones. Why then, will an
editor, who was once Southern
man and soldier, and who has turn
ed against his own people, and iden-
tilted himself with the enemy, accuse
the people who do not endorse the
policy of the administration in the
Philippines, of treason, and call
them TRAITORS" if they dare to ex-
press sympathy for the poor fellows
who are struggling for freedom?
There is only one answer, and that is
such man is lopsided, reckless and
ignorant. No really sensible man.
who has honest convictions ever
filings stones in such manner.

A SupcrstItiOus Man.

An American millionaire who has a
palace at Venice is more superstitious
than his countrymen usually are. On
Thanksgiving Day he invited a party
OF friends. including a Roman prince,
one OF the Queen of Italy's maids of
honor. and various sprigs of the Italian
aristocracy. The Roman prince. how
ever, failed him at the last moment.
and the host refused to sit down to
dinner on finding that the company
consisted OF thirteen persons. He made
various fruitless attempts to secure an.
other guest, and at last, in despair, he
announced that he intended to follow
the customs of the Arabs, who always
wait upon their guests, and eat their
own dinners by themselves afterward.
The meal proved a great success.

Not aFocfor.

From thu latest estimates yivea
out at tho State Democratic head
quarters it is eyideut that the Re
pubbcaps anj their allies, the 'Inde.
peDden;-," will not be u fac!tr in
the next Legislature.
The figures now give probably
fifteen members of that body as
likely TO be other than the regular
party nomiiees, aud this includes
the counties that frequently are rep
resented by Republicans.
The "Iudep' ndent movement is
losing strength aud caste all over
the State rs the regular Democrats
begin to realize that the Republicans
alone would reap the benefit of any
disaffectlon ia the party Ranks. Tie
counties are also beginning to ap-
preciate the absurdity of sending
representative here who would not
be in touch with the dominanl ill.,
fuences, and part of the forces
which must control in this State as
long as its good government shall
continue.
The papers that encouraged the
independents" short while ago
are climbing hack into the Demo
cratic band wagon. and now with a
show of great vigor call on the party
leaders to defeat every "Indepen.
dent that dares to show his head.
This Is an encouraging sign, for
some papers never come out strong
until they are confident as to how
the thing is going to end, aud then
with tom.top~ All timorels they
rend the air with Joyous noise.
In the Senatorial district compos
ed Of southampton, Nansemond and
Isle of Wight there is still fierce
controversy between Colonel r. Il.
Boykln and the candidate put fow.
ard by the gentlemen who, while
claiming to be loN al Democrats, have
refused to acknowledge the suprem-
acy of the rules under which the
party organization exists, AMI in the
face of ii just decision Of the State
Committee.
There is little doubt, however, that
Colonel Boykin will be returned. for
while personal Jeeling may actuate
those leaders opposed to him, the
Democrats of the district will not be
as willing to repudiate the party or
ganization as ONE of the gentlemen
who are now holding office by virtue
of its ndorsement.
As the election approaches all the
signs are propitious for a sweeping
Democratic victory, aud those who
have seen fit to encourage the sem
blance Of revolt in favor of the Re.
publicans will have the poor satisfac-
ton of knowing that they have the
political friendship of neitLer side.

Pests of Sweet Potatoes.

The MARYLAND \ agricultural Experiment
Station has issued Il bulletin treating OF
the insects affecting the sweet potato
Sweet potatoes are one of the most lmpor-
tant crops of the southern counties of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. and also OF
Baltimore doubtless stands next to New
York rs i sweet potato market, and about
one half of the Maryland crop is shipped
there, but during recent years other mar
kcts have opened up, and the industry has
received considerable stimulus. The sweet
potato market is one which pays we'll tol
an early crop, but is always glutted at the
height of the season. Thus this year ii
opened at s. to Sc per barrel, but when
the whole crop came in the price sank to
as low as % to 81 cents. Thus it is that
injurious insects (tica beetles, tortoise
beetles and cut worms which SO damage
newly set plants as to seriously stunt their
growth or kill them, and thus prevent
early maturity of the tubcrS, are one OF
the most important factors opposing prof.
table sweet potato culture, and not only
do they prevent an early crop, but the
damage done to the young vines seriously
curtais the later crop. The two worst
pests are the flea beetles and the tortoise
beetles Tlc remedy advised for these is
to dip the plants in a solution Of arsenate
of lead when they are being set out. The
latter remedy is also applicable for the
larvae of saw flies, the caterpillar and the
sweet potato plume moth, an insect newly
found iniuring sweet potatoes.
