Death Of MI. J. S. Ellis.

After lingering illness of grip and
pneumonia, this old and highly esteem
ed citizen passed away Tuesday about
one o'clock, says the Waynesboro Her
aid of last week. Squire Jack Ellis,
as he was Familiarity known, was a
man of high standing in the commun-
ity and universally respected and es-
teemed for his sterling traits of char
acter. AS an honest-hearted man and
Christian gentleman, be stood the peer
of any and his death removes from the
community a landmark that will be
badly missed. He was a life long
member of the Baptist church whose
principles he cherished and revered
and which will feel the weight of his
loss most heavily. The interment took
place yesterday at Bethlehem beside
his wife who preceded him to the
grave several years ago. Mr.. Ellis was
7s years of age and leaves four chill
dren, Mr.. John Ellis, of Indian Terri
tory, M. R. Ellis, of Basic City, Atwell
Ellis, of Lyndhurst, and Mrs. L. H.
Paul, of Messy Creek.
For many years Mr.. Ellis was a
MAGISTRATE under the old regime and
supervisor of South River district for
many terms, until he declined re.elec-
tiOn. He was the first superintendent
of the Waynesboro Baptist Sunday
School, and the first deacon in the
church, and to him is to be credited
the organization Of the church, as, be-
ing the Oldest Baptist in the commun-
ity, he took the first steps which led
to it's formation. He was a splendid
specimen of the old Virginia gentle
man, loved and honored by all who
knew him. and active and influential
i'm bis day.

Fiduciary Act May be Invalid.

The decision of the Court of Appeals
in the commissioner of valuation case
that the act was unconstitutional be-
cause it provided for the payment of
the commissioners and was not passed
by recorded vote, has caused the
question to be raised whether the law
Of four years ago, creating the Office of
examiner of fiduciary accounts for ev.
cry city and county, is not also illegal
for the Same reason.
This act, it has been ascertained, did
not receive recorded majority of all
the votes of both branches. The Sen
ate journal of the session of 1895 -'96,
page 504, shows that the act passed,
but not by recorded vote. The meas
ure is also said to have passed the
House without recorded vote.
The two acts are very much alike,
except that the examiners Of records
receive one-tenth Of one per cent.
while the commissioners of valuation
were to receive one-twentieth. 1t il
not at all likely that any steps will
now be taken to test the law, which
has been in operation four years and
has worked well.

How GoebeI Was Killed.

The Louisville Courier-J Journal prints
a circumstantial story. which purports
to give the details of the conception
and execution of the plot to kill Goe-
bel. The story is based upon evidence
said to have been given to the attOr-
neys for the prosecution by Wharton
Golden, W. II. Culton, II. E. YOutzey
and others.
The story gives the names of the man
suspected of having fred the shot that
killed Senator Goebel. He is a Clay
county feudist. He is supposed to be
in the mountains, and has not yet
been arrested. The story follows the
evidence given by Golden in the pre-
liminary trial of Caleb Powers as to
the bringing to Frankfort of the arm
ed mountain feudists. The men i'm
plicated in the conspiracy are the
same who were implicated by Golden's
testimony, several of whom are now
under arrest, while others are either
in the mountains or in neighbOring
States.
The story follows Golden's testimony
as to the plan to cause riot in the
Legislature, during which Democratic
members were to have been killed.
tells how the alleged plan to kill Sena-
tor Goebel was carried out, of the pur-
chase OF we'll. known Cincinnati house
of twenty-five steel-bullet, smokeless-
powder cartridges, the procuring of q
3S-calibre rifle, with which the shoot
ing is said to have been done, the
weapon being returned an hour after
ward, and the payment of 81 900 in ad-
vance to the man who did the shoot
ing. After the shooting the man who
did the work is said to have been escort
ed to the mountains by number Of
armed men.

PROSPERITY IN MEXICO.
The Free Silver Republic Fine Field for
Investment,

1 huvoOssuSuth
The Charleston Post says "a New
Yorker, who has just returned from
a visit to Mexico says that many
Americans are making fortunes out
of the mines throughout the republic.
Already there are 5000 silver mines
and over 1000 gold mines being operat-
ed, and last year the value of these
metals exported was nearly SAC. 10000.
In no other country in the world are
cotton mills paying such dividends on
the capital invested as those in Mexico.
and new manufacturing plants OF ev-
cry description are going up all over
the republic. It has good future,
and In developing itself it is benefiting
the business men of the United States.
The importation of machinery from
this country In the last year amount.
ed to over SO, 900, ,000." This is most
remarkable statement to be published
by gold bug paper about a silver
''debased' country as the Post, NO
doubt, has declared Mexico to be more
than once in discussing the free silver
issue. AS the Post publishes the para
graph without comment we presume
it accepts the statements it contains
as true. "If in no other country in
the world are cotton mills paying such
dividends on the capital invested as
those in Mexico, and new manufactur-
ing plants Of every description are
going up all over the republic" what
becomes of the Posts argument against
free silverp Mexico 1s free silver
country and if she prospers so under
it. why should free silver ruin the
United States, as the Post has pro.
claimed time and again it would Is
q small republic like Mexico more ca
pable of managing its own finances
than great republic like the United
States Why do the cotton mills of
free silver Mexico pay larger dividends
than the cotton mills of the gold stand
ard United States? Will the learned
editor of the Post, who refrained from
demolishing Bryan's arguments only
because they contained nothing to
demolish, enlighten poor benighted
silverite On the above questions? The
fact that Mexico is 80 prosperous with
"debased" money standard is one of
the causes of our being one of the
"deluded" believers in the free and
unlimited coinage of silver in the
United States. Will the Post give us
light?

ADMIRAL DEWEY A DEMOCRAT.
He Makes the Statement to Philadelphia
Reporters.

Admiral Dewey, who last week came
out az al candidate for President, was
in Philadelphia several,days ago, and in
a conversation with number of news
paper reporters. the Admiral stated
that he was Democrat. Here is the
interview in part:
"Are you. as reported to be, Demo
crat ?'' the admiral was asked, and af-
ter moments hesitation he replied:
Yes, think can answer that. Yes,
am Democrat.
''If the Republicans nominate Nc
Kinley and the Democrats name Bryan
for the Presidency would you run inde-
pendently ?"
II won't ans er that"
"The Democratic convention of
Pennsylvania has just endorsed Bryan
for the Presidency" was suggested by
one reporter, to which the admiral re-
piled:
s.Pennsylvania usually goes Repub-
Hcah, Goes IL not !',-------.z---......s- =, .s---
Several questions in quick success
sion as to any conference between him
and Grover Cleveland, William e.
Whitney-or any other political men Of
prominence, were answered with the
same phrase, II came to attend the
concert"
One reporter asked the admiral who
would manage his campaign, If be en-
tered one, and he laughingly replied:
81 don't know. How would you like
the job; l would probably need a bright
young man."
HIS MOTIVE.
'Dewey's prime motive is desire
to, defeat Mckinley. The antipathy
grows out of Dewey's belief that the
popular outc1y against him at the
time he transferred his popular sub
scription house to his wife was inau-
gurated and fostered by the Admins
tration, through fear that, as an idol
of the people, he was McKinley's dan
gerous rival. Dewey also believes that
the reports of his alleged contemplated
trip to Europe emanated from the same
source. More than once, in angry
moments, he has threatened to show
that the President would have ample
cause to fear him. OF Dewey's hostil-
ity to the President there cannot be
any doubt whatever"
