An Old Church-LocnI Items of In
fPTest.

EMPORIA, VA, September 7.-(Specialt
About twelve miles south of Emporia
there is quite a noted church, called
Spring church. 1t is used by Melhodists,
and in ante-bellum days camp-mes;ings
were held there annually. and he people
assembled there from miles around and
erected temporary dwellings. or tents, as
they were called. The writer remembers
when quite boy being taken here by
his mother. and recalls well the impress
sion made in his youthful mind. Since
the war no camp-meetngs have been held
az the church-only annual protracted
meetings. There is a fine mineral spring
on the premises, from which the church
takes its name. There are several per-
sons buried in the cemetery near the edi-
flee. and in the buryingground IS beau
tifHl monument erected over prominent
citizen of the community, Mr.. G. G.
Daniel, who died about ten years ago.
The design Of the monument. which is of
granite, represents sturdy oak and
cinging vine.
Another point OF interest near the
church and at or near the dividing line
of the two States is an old duelling-
ground. Our tradition says that one or

TOMATOES.

The Baltimore Sun is authority for the
statement that the tomato markets are
giutted, and that prices are lower than
ever before This fact is attributed to the
unusually hot weather in June and July,
which very much forced the tomato, as
well as other crops. and may possibly
result in a Shortage before the end Of
the season.
"a point worthy of consideration,
says our contemporary, 'is that for the
last ten days the largest buyers of toma-
toes have been packers from the West,
as far out as Colorado and Nebraska.
They have been heavily buying to fill
short sales This indicates either that the
crop In the West has been very short
or that the western tomato packers have
been buying on speculation. In either
case we may safely infer that an advance
of prices will be the result"
This increased production Of the to-
mato may be attributed partly to the
ever-growing demand for the beautiful
fruit. which. though centuries in estab-
fishing itself in the public confidence,
has now become a most necessary food
staple. There are some records of the
tomato 0hen called the love APPLE hav-
ing been eaten as early as 1888, but the
suspicious against 1t were not thoroughly
overcome till well on in this century. Its
popularity has since been astounding.
Not only is 1t eaten raw and with various
condiments. but 1t is cooked in many
ways, and is constantly the subject of
culinary inventiveness. Add TO this its
popularity as a seasoning for other
dishes. and we are justified in placing
the tomato next in Importance to our re-
spected friend. the potato. In truth, no
compound vegetable dish looks entirely
attractive. unless it CLOVIS with the Vene-
tian red of the tomato, and bites with its
pungent acid taste.
While there are some unfortunate dys-
peptics to whom this rudy fruit is in
terdicted. ii is on the whole regarded as
very healthy. and os a splendid relish for
finical appetites.

In Portsmouth court to-day was heard
a religious controversy that eliminated
in disorder on the night Of August 30th
at the synagogue on High street, and
which resulted in the Goodman family

THE DIAMOND SHOALS.
Inspector Wood, OF this lighthouse dis
trct who has just returned from
Cape Hatteras. says the Diamond Shoals
light-ship driven ashore there during the
August hurricane is high and dry on the
sand. One can walk all around her
without dampening the feet. The Mer-
rift Wrecking Company. which has the
contract for floating the light-ship has
taken all precautions necessary to insure
her safety. and Is awaiting an extraordi-
nariy high tide to complete the work.
Wreckers remain on the spot to take in
slant advantage of such a tide. Great
anchors weighing 1900 pounds each. have
been sunk hundreds of yards from the
ship. and to these strong hawsers run
from her masts to keep her from topping
over. Captain Wood says the ship can
undoubtedly be saved. Meantime, the
outer Diamond Shoals are unmarked by
her friendly light.

Democratic candidate for the LEGISLATURE

had formerly seen a statement in your
paper i'm a letter from Concord 10 the
effect that Mr. Chiffon was nominated AT
mass-meeting held al Concord, at which
26z voters We're present in person or by
proxy.
l have intended for some time 10 correct
the statement contained I'm the Concord
letter, but not having been present 1T
that meeting, l had 10 wait until 1 could
get my facts accurately, which L give
you as follows:
The meeting was called by people wh)
have for years antagonized the Demo-
cratic party. All persons, irrespective or
political parties, who favored Governor
Tyler's election 10 the United States
Senate were invited to participate in il.
IL was not a meeting in the form Of q
convention or one In which the people
could be represented by delegates. but
was called as a mass-mee ting There
were present by actual count twenty-nine
voters. twenty-three OF whom were from
Appomattox and six from Campbell. |
am not posted as TO the politics Of all
the Campbell participants, but am very
familiar with the politics OF those who
attended the meeting from Appomattox.
Only one OF them-YiZ., Mr. l.. A VIII
Hams a brother-in-law OF Mr.. c. III. Chill

most prominent figures In II were w. G.

didate for various offices; h. r.. Gillian
a leading Republican; +. b. Jones, T. H.
A. Cheatham,' c. 3. BAxton, and Hut
Ferguson (cOlored). other prominent Re-
publicans. In justice to Hut, II should be
stated that VIXEN the resolution was pass
ed by the meeting declaring that no
money should be- used in the Interest of
the nominee. he left In disgust.
This meeting in no sense represents
any Democratic sentiment In AppOmattO<
county. There has been no spit in the
Democratic party here. ana | do not be-
ieve there has been or Will be any In
Campbell. but | know the Democrats or
our county are solid for the regular nom

our nominee but to our people To char
acterize a meeting gotten up and domi-
mated by leading Republicans "a DEM

nominated X. by any m~nap, he should
be elected. would not beAdmitted into a

and probably longer.

ON THE TIP OF THE TONGUE.


Almost everybody is now wondering
what VIII be the courts decision in the
Dreyfus case. and whether there will be
war in the Transvaal. And. as Lord Dun
dreary would say, those "are things no
fellow can find OUT
If the Dreyfus case were in any other
than a French court we should predict
the triumphant acquittal Of the prisoner
but as 1t is, ana with the army and other
great influences clamoring for his con-
viction, we are not confident that justice
viii be done
The semi-ofTicial statement made yes
terday by Germany TO the effect that its
agents never have had any communica-
ton with Captain Dreyfus ought to count
for a great deal. But that statement is
but a reiteration of assurances long
ago given. and which seem to have had
no effect upon the French Government or
the court-maTtiaL
All we can say is we hope that the
wrong done Dreyfus will be undope as
far as possible. but we shall not be sur
prised 20 hear that prejudice, partisanry.
and malignity have won the day. In
that case, France will be an object of
pity and contempt, and we should think
Germany would feel aggrieved that her
word. though informally given, was not
taken.
our information is that the court may
announce its decision to-day, but that
expectation may not be fulfilled. If the
court is going to acquit Dreyfus, an an
nouncement TO that effect may be made
in few words But If he should be found
guilty, we should think the court would
take time TO write out its reasons. How
ever. 1--WE shall see what we shall see"
in the course of a few hours.
The controversy Between the British
and the Beers has reached an acute
stage. and before long we shall hear OF
"a fight or a back down" II happens
that neither of those peoples IS naturally
inclined 10 take the back track. OF the
two the Beers are the more stubborn. In
this case. too ii appears that they have
the right. If not the might upon their
side. Recent developments go to show,
sn a stronger light than ever before, that
most of the trouble has been made by
the British, who covet all the rich gold
and diamond-mines in the Beers terri
tory. No doubt the Beers have been snrly
and unfrlendly; but some latitude ought
20 be allowed a fellows temper when he
IS on his own premises.
We should feel like berating the Eng
lish soundly for their land-grabbing pro-
pensities II we did not have the United
States recent example in mind. They are
grabbing in Africa. while we are grab
bling in Asia. Neither country is very con-
sideratc Of the rights of those who stand
in their way.
If war in the Transvaal should come,
we may expect TO hear of some hard
lighting. The Boer is a very handy man
with his rifle. and has fine staying quail
ties. We. however, trust that his stamina
as a warrior will not be put to the test
Tho contestants would better get to-
sether" and smoke the pipe Of peace.

The Wytheville Dispatch gives the cold
shoulder TO the amendment proposing 10
merge the county and district elections
now held in May, into the biennial NO

In this matter our friend differs with
the great majority OF Virginia newspa-
pers. The amendment in question was
dra fted in difference 10 a distinct popular
demand. The people believe we have too
many elections I'm Virginia. Many States
more prosperous than ours. some OF them

As 10 the effect of this change upon the
future of the Democratic party in this
State, we may suppose that that has
been well-considered. The change was
discussed in the last Legislature, and the
vote upon It was well-nigh unanimous
IN view of the small vote cast against 1t,
we may presume that our party leaders
we're in favor of it.
