Mr.. l.. Q. Miller, of Miller C Raoads:
The Richmond Street Fair was I'M
dotbtedIy a great success. Il has proved
a good thing for Richmond and new ter
ritory and trade has bean Developed.
There are many who were not faVUrably
disposed toward the Street Fair idea at
the outset, but they tlave, am sura, see
ing the success OF the Fair. changed their
minds. and the next Fair that viii DO
held will find many more supporters and
participants. [ am in favor of interesting
the various cities and towns and hold
compe tftive exhibits. Personally. I think
the fall is the best time OF the year TO
hold such exhibitions, but with good
weather crowds can be drawn most an
season
Mr. IL L. Hofheimer, of the Economy

Fair has far surpassed the most SAN
guine expectations 1 predicted success,
and a grand success the occasion proved.

PIG. HIcGuirc.
NEWCASTLE, VA, May 19.-Special.-
One of the saddest deaths that has ever
occurred in this quiet little community
was that of Mr.. P. G. Mcclure, which
occurred at Sinking Creek, ten miles from
here, on Saturday.
Mr.. Mcguire was in town on frlday, as
we'll as usual. He was in the prime OF lie
and apparently in perfect health. lie was
a great favorite in the county, and his
visits to town were always noted with
pleasure by his friends. He spent Thurs
day night al the home of Hon. J. w. Mar
shall, and returned to his farm about noon
on Friday; and after one hours acute
pain and nausea he died. DR.. Luther 40
bolt was called, and thought death was
probably due to heart failure or rupture
of blood vessels.
Mr. Mcclure enlisted in the Confederate
army early in the war from Tazewell.
Va. and was in the most active life OF
that time. He was, at one time imprisoned
in Fort Delaware. Lately he has been
making pleasing prepare tons to attend
TIE Louisville Reunion. and had ordered
rev clothes of the old Confederate gray
material. in which garb he was tenderly
roned for burial.
Two Of his sons-Everett and Wat-were
among the Rough Riders in Governor
Roosevelt's command at the battle OF San
Juan, the former having enlisted with
boys from Indian Territory, to which place
he returned after the war was closed in
Cuba.
Mr. Mcclure was buried to-day by the
Masors in the country cemetery nearest
his farm many people attending from all
parts of the county.
He leaves a wife and nine children
five boys and four daughters.

TALK WITH PRESIDENT.


Colonel O'Beirne. who some months ago
vainly sought recognition as a repre-
sentative of the Boer Republics, yesterday
appeared at the State Department in the
interest of the three delegates Colonel
O'Beirne has previously had a short talk
with the President, who directed him 10
the State Department Secretary Hay
listened to the reason why the United
States government should act to bring
the war TO close Colonel y Belrne,
like the Boer delegates, felt that the mere
direction of the United States would sui
flee TO induce England to cease hostilities.
He argued with good deal Of eloquence,
but without convincing the officials that
the United States government could inter-
vene in the manner proposed without be-
coming at once involved as a party 10 the
war.
1t cannot be set down as certain that
the present determination of our GSvern-
ment is 10 request England to stop the
War.
The credentials of the Boer delegates,
now in Washington, will be submitted TO
the Secretary of State Monday next.
Colonel O'Beirne called at the State De-
partment this afternoon and arranged
with Secretary Hay that the Boer Gre
dentials should be submitted in advance
of the presentment of the gentlemen
themselves. This is in accordance with the
usual rule governing the presentation Of
foreign ministers. So Mr.. Bruyn, the

A Determined Mob.

Seldom has there been such grave
determination on the part of the mob
or such dogged resistance on the part OF
a sheriff as that displayed at Hunts
vile, Ala, last week. A mob OF one
thousand men went to the jail to take
a negro rapist and lynch him. The
Sheriff and his deputies fred upon the
lynchers, wounding some of them.
This did not deter them. The sheriff
appealed to the governor, and the mill
tary were ordered out, but too late.
The mob received tar and feathers and
oil, and having gotten into the lower
corridor of the Jail, piled them on the
easement floor and fred them. The work
of smoking out the inmates was begun
The sheriff retreated with his prisoner
to a point fartherest removed from the
odoriferous pile. He swore that he
would die with his prisoner. The
chief of police forced his way to where
the sheriff was and exhorted him to
leave the building. The sheriff was
then half sufocated. The official had
securely locked his prisoner in stroDg
cell. The police chief seized the
sheriff and dragged him unconscious
from the building. The mob took hold
of the prisoner and carried him from
the jail and hanged and shot him to

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.
The Democrats Call for Enforcement
and Resubmission Of the Law.


The platform adopted by the Maine
Democratic State Convention at its ses-
sion in Lewiston on Wednesday, July
II, contains the following respecting
the State prohibitory liquor law and its
nonenforcement:
"For nearly half century ne have
had a statutory law, prohibiting the
manufacture, sale and use Of intoxicat-
ing liquors. For nearly half that time
it has been embodied in the State Con.
stitution. Since it was first enacted
scores Of amendments, each more
stringent and the penalties more severe
than those preceding it, have been
passed.
'sFor nearly twenty years the alleged
enforcement Of the probibitory law has
been growing more and more lax, until
today in nearly every city in the State
and many Of the larger towns, there are
regularly established bars and saloons
where liquors are sold in open, 2agrant
violation Of the Constitution and stasu-
tory law. Nearly every hotel, many
restaurants, hundreds Of so-called drug
stores and unnumbered and secret sa-
looms and bar rooms in the cities sell
without restriction, save an occasional
seizure and fine for political purposes.
For the present shameful, disgust.
ing condition of affairs in relation to
the prohibitory law, the Republican
leaders and their supporters are solely
responsible. Today in many parts OF
the State We are having all the evils of
free rum, and none Of the redeeming
features Of a license law.
"For years the prohibitory law has
been political foot ball. Its hypocriti-
cal enforcement has been used to con-
troll the liquor vote, to increase the in.
come CT perjured officials and to swell
the corruption fund for campaign pur-
poses. Through its instrumentality,
the party in power hasinauenced juries,
corrupted official sworn to enforce the
law; debauched voters, deceived the ad-
vocates of temperance, betrayed the
cause which 1t professed to support,
creating contempt and disregard for
all laws, and has made the good name
of the State byword and reproach
wherever it is known.
eve maintain that the Republican
party in Maine is under the practical
control of ring which has taaLly De-
come the rum syndicate Of t6e State,
promoting the illegal sale OF liquor,
protecting the dealerin the sale, pocket
ing large revenue from these tr"nsac-
tons, assessing rum sellers for money
with which to control caucuses, eonven-
tions and elections, and saddling
heavy debt upon and loading the tax
rsyers with bills, charges and alleged
disbursements too grievous to be borne,
and by such duplicity they are demor-
alizing the youth Of our State and edu-
eating them to disregard law and order.
"We believe the respectable, law
abiding citizens of the State, irrespec.
tive Of party, favor change. Ihey
demand that the law shall be either en-
forced or repealed To that END We
favor resubmission.

Evil is wrought from want Of

openly. The denial by the preachers
that the combination is sought" cuts
no figure. 1t exists, and that is all |

and must make every good man feel
uncomfortable.
If the dispeDsary is overthrown every
