FOR MAYNARD AND PREMTis.

HON. WILLIAM STANDS, OF
COURTLAND. ADVOCATES BOTH.
Hon. William Stands. of CORTLAND
was in the city yesterday. OF course
the reporter for the Virginan- Pilot.
who met him. asked for political news.
Mr.. Stands stated that the Demo-
Gratis of his county are united and en-
thusiastic in the support of Mr.. May
nard for Congress. Southampton coun-
~, MIR. Stands says, will give Il
larger majority than any other county
in the district for Mr.. Maynard. The
Democrats there are united, harmoni-
Gus and active. There will he practi-
cally no labor vote at all. so that Wise
will offer the only appreciable oppoSi-
ton that Maynard Will have.
AS Wise is the only Republican can
didate in the field. the negroes of
southampton will likely vote for him
or decline to vote at all.
Mr.. Stands said that he had received
encouraging reports from other parts
of the State concerning the recommen-
dalton of the appointment of Judge r.
II. Prentis to the Court of Appeals. He
does not feel at liberty to publish the
names of the prominent and influential
gentlemen, in other parts OF Virginia,
from whom he has received letters ad-
vocating the appointment of Judge
PrentiS, but they convince him that
Judge Prcntis is more favorably CON
sidered. even outside of this district,
than Is any other man who has been
suggested for the position.
MIR Stands expressed surprise that
there should be any question as to the
certainty that the Governor would call
an extra session of the General AS
sembly to consider the constitutional
changes the people demanded. If the
Assembly meets il will not he bound to
take up the recommendations for n
new Judge. In that case. the appoint
ment of judge to fiji the vacancy is
certain. He believes Judge Prentis will

Pig iron ia being moved from Besse-
mer AMI Ensley, Ala, over the Kan
sas City, Memphis and Birmingham
railroad via Holly Springs Miss, and
the Illinois Central for New Orleans at
the rate of threa train loads daily or
about 1000 tons. This iron Is for sx-
portstion to Europe, and iron masters
say this particular movement will con-
time for at least month or longer
At the same time much export iron
is also going to the ports of Charles
ton, Savannah. Brunswick, Pensacola
and Moblls, and all available ship
room is being rapidly engaged. The
European iron famine, the rise In
the old world prices and the slight de-
Fiction In the American market are
thu prime causes of this very heavy
movement, which now promises total
expectation of over 800, 900 tons OF
Alabama iron for the year IL it can be
had for that purpose.

1t Costs Double Today to Live in Paris
1t is Said.
Paris. -The Sun correspondent was
too sanguine in suggesting four weeks
ago that the exhibition would be prsc-
ticsfly completed by the end of May.
Another month at least must elapse be-
fore the great show will approach a
finished state.
The exhibitors have special griev-
ance In the delay and the damage to
goods on railways. W eeks elapse after
American exhibits are landed at Havre
before they reach Paris, and the
amount Of damage inflicted is SO great
that it seems that 1t must have been
malicious.
The attendance on week days at the
exhibition averages from 80, 900 to 40,
900, but the absence of visitors has no
appreciate effect In keeping down
prices. The Suns warning of month
ago is more necessary than ever. This
is no place for poor man, and unless
prepared to pay at least double value
for the ordinary comforts one had bet
ter stay away.

have worked my way up and wish to
do so. In an interview regarding
Mr.. Twain's candidacy Mr.. Opie Reid
of Arkansas says: "Some ono Is going
to be elected, and l do not see why
Mark Twain should not be tho lucky
mans He can carry the Mississippi
from emf to end There are sufficient
number Of old men claiming cub pilot
relationship to give him four southern
states. His free silver plank will catch
the west and his bold stand for intem-
psrsnce will sweep the rest OF the
country And | am pleased when l
muse upon this shrewd est mate, for,
am one who holds the candidate in
high esteem. Not one Of the other
aspirants is more of q statesman"
