BRIEF ITEMS FROM ROcKBRIDGE.
Three Brothers Meet After Long Sepa.
ration-Telephone Deal Off.

MI. J. M. Black, q prominent farm
er of Buffalo Mills, this county, Friday
received qnite surprise. He was ac
costed by two strangers who were
driving buggy; they endeavored to
sell him some farming machinery and
finally asked that he feed their horses
and give them dinner. To the latter
proposition he said he would consult
bis wife and the strangers walked to
the porch and made themselves at
home. Mr.. Black thought the face OF
one of them looked familiar to him
and requested his wife to bring him a
photograph of his brother who lived in
the West. From that be recognized
one of the men to be his brother,
Charles Black, who lived in Nebraska,
but Gid not know the other man as he
was complete stranger to him. He
found out that the other man was also
his brother, Rufus Black. who had
left this county in 1877 with Charles
and they are now located near North
Bead, Nebraska. They were visiting
their native county for the first time
in % years, and had changed so much
that their brother, j. NJ. Black, did not
recognize them.
The scheme for telephone commu-
nication with Lynchburg has for the
present practically fallen through. The
Lexington Telephone Company pro-
posed to build one-half of the line
from this place down the river by the
way of Balcony Falls, and at the same
time the company in Lynchburg was
to build out from that city and put up
one half Of the line. Recently the
Lynchburg company commenced a
line to Amherst and desired the Lex
ington company to change from the
former route selected.
The Lexington company went over
the newly proposed route and found
that it was not practicable for the
company to build a line over noun
tain which would not have any inter
mediate stations on it. So, for the
present, the deal between the two COM
panies is off.
Prof. Charles Denny and bride have
arrived in Lexington and taken pos.
session of their new home, the resi-.
dence of the late Judge William Nc
Laughlin.
The Lexington Fire Department has
accepted the invitation to attend the
Street Fair and Trade Carnival al

versity.

THE democratic party is always for
obstruction. It's mouth pieces kicked
at the president because he did not de-
clare war with Spain before he WAS
ready and it kicked after he did de-
clare war at the way it was prosecuted
although other nations marveled at
the successful campaign. The old
rheumatic howlers have been kicking
because General Otis has not put down
the insurrectiou in the Philippines and
now that troops have been called into
the field for that purpose they try to
claim that the class of men who are en-
listing are not fit for soldiers. General
Otis has never lost q battle and bis
losses have been light from all causes.
Had he asked for large army earlier
his losses would no doubt have been
very heavy during the rainy season
and it would have been difficult to have
kept his forces In supplies.

A FEW days ago the HERALD spoke
of the question of the negroes future
as one of the great questions OF the day
especially to the south. In another
culumn today will be found the address
of W. H. Noble, Jr., of the Galveston
Times.before the first annual convsn-
ton of the Colored Press association OF
Texas held this week in Dallas. This
presents the question fairly and from
the colored mans point ofsv1ew. 1t
is a manly address, taking the situa-
tion as it is and urging the intel
ligent men of the race to instill an am
bition into their people to try to attain
q higher life, morally and intellectual
ly. He counsels conservatism in po-
litics and condemns the policy OF
sseternal Enforcement to single
party" He1lowers the tone OF the
speech when he says: NEGRO re-
publicans should contend for the same
show of patronage that others OF the
party do, and should convince the
bosses he is party man for tie same
reason and upon the same principle as
his white brothers." How much
wiser advice it swould be for the
negro to aschew politics entirely, and
devote his entire energies to sci
education and business. The de-
moralizing influences of politics are es-
pecially apparent in the colored race.
The negro will acquire good stand
ing from moral worth and not from

Ell pdso Democracy"

The concern of Pat Dryers enc
mics is apparently not 30 much for the
dear public as for the local democratic
party. He won the election for the
democrats but he disgraced the party
so then and has disgraced it 80 ever
since that even his old pals have turn
ed against him. Pat, there is no graf
itude in the democratic party, why
don't you try being red hot republi-
can again?-El Paso Herald.
The Herald although republican, is
sound to the core on the above. If the
democrats of Ell Paso insist on putting
in office. such characters as Dryer, and
like kind, we say let the republicans
take charge, we believe they would at
least fire men of the Dryer type, in
stapter. Ell Paso democrstically is a
Sodom and Gomorah, and has many'foul
mouthed Thersites: with placard
across their back, inscribed we are
democrats, and are corrupt and out for
pie,-Pecos County Pickings.

THE government statistician has been
figuring up the losses occasioned by
the recent flood in central Texas. He
finds that nearly million and a hall
acres were submerged, two-thirds OF
which were under cultivation, and that
the total production in sight was near
ly sS. 900, 900. The loss to buildings and
farm machinery is about S3Oo'OOo'
and the loss in cattle is little higher.
The above figures show something OF
the financial strength OF the state; 1t
can stand such tremendous losses and
yet quietly recuperate therefrom. Al
ready those unfortunate people are at
work putting in new crops, and while
it will be principally quick-yleldlng
food and forage crops, this will aid In
carrying the people over into new
year, and owing to the fertilization OF
the ground caused by the inundation,
enormous crops may be expected next
wear.

THE{HERALD endorses the following
sentiments from the Houston Post:
ION extra occasions, which are rarely
provided for in the constitutions, the
governor of a state generally finds him
self without constitutional authority to
act. In such cases, therefore, he Is
practically of no use, except to order
out troops, or else he takes all the relns
in his own hands and looks to the pub
lie to afterward iudorse his usurps ton
of power. Under our state systems as
population grows denser, industries
more diversified and mob violence
more common, we could safely intrust
the governors with more authority
with perfect safety. If the governor OF
Texas and all governors were empow-
cred to suspend the civil and declare
martial law in riotous county, or in
cases of lynching, in counties where
the lynching occurred; or to suspend
Judges and sheriffs where charges were
we'll authenticated that they were bias
ed or not vigorously and honestly do
ing their duty; or to appoint special
Judge and states attorney and sheriff
with deputies from any other portion
to try cases where feuds or lynchings
occurred, or manifest favoritism was
shown, or anticipated. toward the pris-
oner-his action to be based always
upon an examination by the attorney
general or petitions or affid avits of re
putable citizens-our liberties would
be lust as safe as now and the admins

A Strong Charge.

Judge w. J. Graham, of Marshall,
gave strong charge to his grand jury
when it was empauelled on Monday.
The charge of the court was lengthy,
the main features of the same being
violations of the Sunday law, the sale
of liquor to minors, mob law in refer
ence to the late lynching of the negro
near Washington, enforcement of the
fee bill as applied to officers reports
and request that the grand jury ask
of the court the appointment OF COM
mittee to prepare financial statement
of the condition of the county finances.
The court called the attention OF the
grand jurors to the too often practice
of the employment of an unnecessary
number of bailiffs, which was only an
warranted attack upon the finances
of the county.
