professional buyers grew tired and
sold to realize when the futiiity Of the
efforts to attract outside buying ord
ers was perceived. Several points Of
I positive weakness were developed by
the searching efforts of the bears and
stop loss orders were uncovered by Of
fering prices down. The result was a
general reactionary tendency, which
wiped out practically all OF the earl
Ter gain and established some sharp
losses in special stocks.
The shorts covered before the close
causing sharp rallies at the weak spots
and a general s%tiffening of the whole
market as a result Of which the clos
ing was firm and net changes in the
majority Of stocks small. The local
traction stocks and the industrials
were the leaders in the opening adj
vance. Sugar, Tobacco, Western
Union, Peoples Gas, Pressed Steel Car,
Rubber preferred and some of the iron
and steel stocks were all represented
by gains of l to ~ and Tennessee
Coal was marked up 312 on rumors of
a plan to retire the preferred stock
and begin dividends on the common
stock. Continued heavy buying was in
evidence in Pennsylvania, Baltimore &
Ohio, st. Paul, Missouri Pacific and
other stocks, those named rising a
point. Buying of some Of these was
attributed to operations by speculative
pools. The first point of weakness to
develop was Third Avenue, on the an
nouncement of a dividend Of only 1
per cent, as compared with Ia per
cent for the last quarter of 1899 and
Ia per cent each for the three pre-
ceding quarters. The stock fell an ex-
IRENE AS and caused sympathetic
weakness in the other local traction
stocks. Metropolitan West Side pre-
ferred, of Chicago, jumped 5H points
on the declaration of its first dividend.
The demand for stocks was listless for
the rest of the day and the bears
made successive attacks on different
stocks. Rubber common and preferred
lost Az and Az respectively. Con-
tinental Tobacco was raided down 3
points on rumors of a bond issue and
American Tobacco lost it's earlier gain
in sympathy. Sugar fell 2h from the
top, Federal Steel 1%, Pacific Mail IL
and B. & o. 13s.
The news of the day was mostly ia
yorable and the reaction was apparent
ly due to technical causes. Traders
were inclined to take profits on pend
ing passage by the Senate of the fnan-
cial bill which is taken for granted
and which has been the basis of
some speculation on account of it's pro-
visions for expanding the currency.
Money On call continued offering in
abundant supply SO that spectators
were not made uneasy by the evidences
of absorption of cash by the sub-treas-
ury and a continuing demand from the
interior. The further rise in London
discount rate caused a firm tone to
sterling exchange, but no quotable
change in price.
The bond market was moderately ac-
tive and irregular. Total sales par

The stock market to-day showed a
continuance of yesterdays strength
but the buying demand came almost
altogether from professional sources
with the purpose of inviting outside
demand. The outside demand failed
to materialize, business from the COM
mission houses continuing on a very
small scale. In fact selling orders to
some extent came upon the market
from commission houses, which were
attributed to western account but
which were without explanation. The

Editor Herdld:-This is my third
visit to Crewe, and the more know Of

The population, as Of this date, is said
to be about 1900, and it may be said Of
the town, as has been often said Of
Washington, it is a place Of magnili-
cent distances. The Baptist, Method
ist, Episcopalian, Christian and Pres
byterians all have churches here, and
the religious tone Of the town is excel
lent The public school under the
direction of Prof. Anderson, Of Able
marie, is doing good work, and so is
the r. r. Y. NJ. c. A. The reading
rooms Of this institution are we'll sup
piled with current literature, and are
we'll attended. Secretary Krouse is
cordial in his welcome to strangers,
and seems to be the right man in the
right place.
There are a number Of handsome
private residences in the place aud
others now being built. Among the
most prominent | mention those Of
Messrs. &. f.. Wilson, +. f. Lockett,
r. ;. Bevill, w. A. Elliott, and G. H..

Mrs. Hines, who was before her
marriage a Miss Allen, Of Prince Ed
ward, is conducting a successful private
school here.

Concerning DeadheadS.
Nashville AmerIcanl

tNaSuNillc A1ncflcdn.I
The Virginia newspapers are discus
sing the deadhead evil, and are calling
for its abolition, and quite right they
are. We find the Charlottesville Prog.
ross saying very pertinently;
"The Progress would be glad to con-
tiuue to publish free notices Of all
charitable entertainments if it could
afford to contribute so freely to every
worthy cause which presents itself.
But il cannot. It's advertising space
ia its stock in trade, upon the sale OF
which it must largely depend for sup
port. In the future, therefore, it will
charge for local notices of all charitable
entertainments, the objects Of which
are to raise money. This rule will be
strictly and impartially enforced.
Hereafter our contributions to charity
will be made in a direct and more
practical manner, and so as not to in
terfere with the ordinary rules Of bust
ness"
This is the common sense Of the dead
head business. Newspapers are bust
ness institutions and must have
revenues to meet expenditures or they
will fall below the ford sooner or later.
There are but two available sources of
revenue for a paper-advertising and
circulation-yet both are asked for by
the public brazenly and openly every
day. A newspaper with a capital
stock of $4,000 is asked to give, and
does give in six months time in charity
five times more than a bank with a
Capitalization Of a million. The bank
is asked directly for money; the news
paper is asked indirectly-that is, the
free use of its advertising space is re-
ouested but it amounts to the same
thing. The ladies Of some church ask
the loan Of the papers compositors, re-
porters. editors, business force, press
room shift, circulation managers, route
boys-it's just for little while-and
get them. And then the expenses Of
buying paper, ink, heat, light, power,
besides rent and telegraph tolls, must
be thrown in. And the ladies would
be offended if their request was refused,
and would say that the paper was run
on a narrow and close listed policy.
But the day is coming when every
paper i'm the country which means to
keep its head above water will adopt
the policy outlined by our esteemed
Virginia contemporary. Common
sense shows that it must come.

Aspirants for appointment are just

hope the very best possible appointment
will be made, and if Mr.. Mckinley
wants to hear from us we are ready
with the suggestion. 1t is a desirable
place, or would be if the four years

On Friday AFTERNOON, the. 2nd, he
was visiting a patiept in his immediate
neighborhood, and while sitting at the
bedside Of sickness the fatal stroke
came suddenly, aud from it he never
rallied. The following morning he
was taken to the old homestead, and
there surrounded by his entire family
circle and host Of friends he fell

Dr. BlantOn was not only one Of the
leading citizens of his county, but had
more than once been honored by his
fellow citizens Of this State with posi-
tions Of honor aud trust. He served as
master Of the State. Grange, and also
as commissioner Of agriculture. AS
physician he stood in the front rank
of his profession, as neighbor and
friend he was hospitable, generous,
sympathetic and helpful, and as chris
tian and officer of his church, one upon
whom his young pastor leaned and
looked TO for advice and guidance. He
fell at the post Of duty and "with the
harness on" useful, helpful, loving to
the last.
His funeral was conducted by his |
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Days, at the

The Wise Thing TO DO.

Young men Of this part of Virginia
who have selected farming rs theit
life-work ought not to be content with
renting lands. There is too much val
liable property on sale for this, and
which can he bought on reasonable
terms and at reasonable prices. A few
crops of tobacco, well made and well
managed, will pay for the average farm
and surely a farmer must feel much
more comfortable as owner Of the land
he cultivates. Parties in search Of
such Investments would do well to ap-
ply to the Farmville Farm Agency.
