Now comes the news that Mr.. Bryan
will cancel his appointment to speak
in Illinois and go to New York and
make a canvass of that state. This
Is said to be due to encouraging news
conveyed to Chairman Jones of the
National committee while in New York
during the past week. Thus, of course,
does not mean an abandonment of the
fight in Illinois; 1t Is believed Mr..
Bryan can do no more in the East
at this time, leaving Illinois to the
other democratic speakers.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
If it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows :

An Exposition i'll 1907.

Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-The year 1907 will mark the three
hundredth anniversary of the founding OF
JameStoWn-tlle first permanent English
colony in America. It will be an event
of significance and ought to be fifty OBJ
served.
In this day of national expansion.
would it not be we'll to fix the attention
of the American people upon the begin
nings Of our civilization and State build
ing on this continent? IF this anniversary
is to be signalzed it is eminently ap-
propriate that the observance take place
in Richmond, the capital Of Virginia, the
mother of States.
Could not such an event be best mark
ed by an exposition, in which would be
gathered the memorials OF our past; the
evidence of our progress in agriculture,
manufacturers and art and full illustra-
ton Of the products and conditions of
our new possessions?
If the Virginia Press and if the Rich
mond Chamber of Commerce and the AS
ISOLATION for Virginia Antiquities see fit
to take hold of such an enterprise for
the year 1907, it is believed not only that
the State and national governments would
cooperate, but also that many foreign
countries would be represented. For the
date which is intended thus TO be com
memmorated is Of unrivalled historic in
terest to the world, and especially to all
English speaking people. Shall the en-
ergy and public spirit of Virginia take
the initiative in fifty marking the three
hundredth anniversary Of the landing of
our fathers on the banks of the James?

Night Thoughts of &: Doclsed-Tail
Horse in Carnival Week.

I'm tired. I'm glad to drop down in
this bed of clean straw. I'm glad to
be through with my march in the floral
parade.
Oh! but it was beautiful! The car
riages seemed like moving banks Of
flowers. And the wheels of flowers, how
beautiful they were as they rolled over
the streets
And the llorses-my race-we all We're
decked, some wearing even blankets of
blossoms.
The gay flowers became well the happy
horses with long. graceful tails; but for
us, of the locked tails they were only a
mockery of our misery. For why should
a locked horse be decked with flowers?
He should be wrapped in black from
hoofs to head; because he has been
maimed-maimed for life; robbed of a
part of his own body-of the waving tail
given him for his ornament; and mores
given him for a brush with which to
sweep from llimslf singing insects. Now.
he must stand helpless in his harness and
bear the torture.
My doom is fixed. There is no hope
for me, and never can be any.

ttion for Sheriff; Mr.. James NJ Mason, Jr.,
fer COMMONWEALTH Attorney; Mr. VIII
liam Campbell, for the State Senate. and

gates.
This, with the exception of Mr.. Morrow,
is an entirely new ticket, as was also the
case with the nominees for justices, asses
sors and constable.
These nominations are equivalent TO

in this county.

CAN 1T NOT BE AvERTED ?

There are signs that the Democratic
party is awakening to reason, and much
as it seems a foregone conclusion that
the Kansas Convention will nominate
Mr.. Bryan. a sound money Democrat is
vet permitted to hope. at last, that reason
NAV vet prevail at Kansas City. In the
first place, there was a most Significant
event in Maryland last week which the
most obstinate men must open their eyes
to whether they would or not. primaries
in which the people voted directly were
held to choose members OF the State
Democratic Convention, which is to select
delegates to the Kansas Convention, and
these primaries resulted in the choice OF
men opposed to the nomination Of Nv. j.
BRYAN. The politician who refuses TO
nav heed to such an incidnt as this Is
unfit to have charge of his party's affairs.
In the second place, it seems authors
tatively stated that the delegates from
New Yorl, will give their consent to the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan, but upon the
EXPRESS condition that free silver is
omitted from the platform. To nominate
BRYAN and adopt free silver would be
nonsense. The whole raison d'etre of
the man is free silver He is free silver
or nothing. It would be no more posi-
BILE for Mr. Bryan 10 run for the Presi-
dency without roaring for free silver
than 1. would be for the small and
Intellectual moon TO conceal the glories Of
our perennial sun from mankind, whom
1t warns and lights along its daily paths
1t was we'll and sensible for Richard
Croker to say in his interview in last
Sundays Journal after saying Bryan
would not desert free silver: Mark my
words, when ". J. Bryan Is elected he
will work eighteen hours a day in order
to carry out in spirit and in letter every
plank in the Democratic platform.
Hitherto other men have regarded the
platform drawn up at their convention
as a ladder on which they may mount
TO power. and which they kick down as
soon as they get 10 the top. Mr.. Bryan
is not man of that sort.
This was part of a statement that Bryan
would not give up free silver: that he was
SO Identified with It he ought not to, and
that IL would be In the Democratic plat
