A Papers Best Friends.

The best friends u newspaper
has, says an exchange, may be
divided into three classes. No.
one, is that class who pay for their
paper in advance. Numbor two,
are that class who pay
when the year is half out, or at the
end of six months, and number
three, those who pay at the end OF
the year, to which we may add,
number four, those who kindly and
faithfully criticise the papers
faults and short comings, and
praise its good qualities.
We are glad to say that we have
some Of each class OH our list.
We have, also, another class-not
large however, who take tie paper
readily and constantly, but never
say word, at any time, about pay
ing. They think newspaper
can be run on wind alone. Here
is some new scripture: "l,ditors
cannot live on air, alone

We positively assert, and we
believe nine-tenths of our readers
will agree with lis, that u new law
is needed in Virginia, which will
insure honest and far elections.
We mean, Il law that will put stop
to vote buying, and other forms
of ballot box robbing. The Wal.
ton election law, OF any other law;
the present right Of suffrage or
any system of suffrage, which adj
mits of such perversion and THEY.
cry as we have now all over the
county, is an evil which should be
stamped to death. The men who
buy and and sell votes have no
more right to vote than the men
who stuff or steal ballot boxes, or
intimidate votes by force of arms.
They have no right to vote.

New Castle Record. June sld.l

New Castle Record, June 3idI
On the afternoon of last court
day when the large crowd in at
tendance was dispensing, two ne
groes walked over the railroad
trestle, under which one of our
white citizens was standing. One
of the negroes remarked to the
other: ,,Bill, how did you come
out today?" "Only to!erable, only
sold my vote five times; how did
you doG "Wcll, done purity well,
'ceptin "id dat ar auctioneer man,
| couldn't do nothin' tall wild
him." The other rejoined: "Hugh,
hu.h-h, dar Amt nothin' tall in
dat man."
More and more are we convinced
that a restriction must be put
upon the right of suffrage in Vir
ginia.-HalitaX Independent.
But what is Halifax going to do
with the fellow who purchased
these votes! For our part, we
think that the white man who
buys a. vote is a greater rascal than
the ignorant negro who sells.-
Richmond Times.
And what's the use to talk
about elccting Senators by "direct
vote OF the people,? Are not the
"peOplo" bought up in every
elcctiOnl Is the "will of the
people" ever fairly expressed in an
election where large amounts off
money are uscd9

1t is noticeable how different
candidates take their defeat.
Some of them are philosophical,
and take it reasonably and pleas,
antly-uthers are as sore as can
he, and are swapping at everybody
they meet. There is no stronger
indication of character than the
manner in which a man treats
difficulties and disappointments.

There is scarcity of coal miners
throughout the coalfelds of the

1000 more miners are needed in
the Flat Top field and are needed
badly. The Elkhorn coal operators
are making a great effort to secure
more miners. thousand or more
being needed there.-Lynchburg

Why don't some of the many
men loafing around our
streets go to Elkhorn and get
work. There is only one explain.
ation-they must be making a
living without work.
