Two, perhaps. of the most prominent
moonshiners in this section of Virginia are

different sections OF the county. The last
of these two moorshiners arrested was
Robinson, who was taken into custody last
Friday. He has made a clean breast of
the matter, and in doing SO he duplicates
others in this unlawful business. | think,

Mr. Hunsdon Cary. who was recently
chosen as captain of Company f. Sew
entieth Virginia Regiment. has written
Col. George Wayne Anderson a letter
declining the position. The letter is az
follows:
Richmond. Va. Oct. %. 1900.
Col. George Wayne Anderson:
Dear Sir-In obedience to instructions
given me by a committee OF Company f,
Seventeen Virginia. 1 herewith tender
10 YOU my reply in the matter OF election
of captain of that company.
Mindful! of the high position which
Company F holds In your regiment, and
grateful for the compliment conferred.
T1pon me. have given the matter that
careful consideration which IL deserves,
and in making my reply have consumed
the limit OF time within which the law
rao,Ifres an acceptance 10 be made. 7
have done this because | wanted TO ac-
ceot the captaincy II could consistently
do so. Yet knowing. as I do. the time
and labor which the proper attention
TO my duties would demand of me, I
feel that l cannot consistently take from
NV professional work that time which
the company deserves and should expect,
and therefore I must decline the
captaincy. 1 regret that this must
be my reply, but cannot see my duty
otherwise.
Please extend to Company F my sin
cere appreciation of the compliment con-
ferred upon me, and in the near future
trust they may find u captain far
worthier than I would have been
Yours very truly.

by deputy during his sojourn in Europe!
Is it not a fact that he proceeds in an
official capacity to solicit aid from France
and Russia as well as Holland OF which
there seems to be considerable probability
of success?'
Now, as one correspondent insists upon
making us his witness to prove his case
against ourselves, generosity requires US
to answer with the utmost possible frank
ness, and we are, therefore, compelled to
say that it is not a fact that Kruger has
been given leave of absence from his coun-
try. He sneaked out Of the back door
of the Custom House at Lorenzo Marques
to board man-of-war of another country.
and he is now steaming away from his
country and comrades as fast as this man
of-war can carry him. He undoubtedly
has leave Of absence, but it IS the sort
of leave of absence which malifactors Sc
cure when they give what is known in the
police courts as 'les-bail.'
Since our correspondent can really be-
lieve that Kruger has Considerable prooa-
bility Of success in inducing Russia
France and Holland to tackle Great Brit
ain in behalf of the Beers, we are not
surprised that he should believe Kruger
is detailed by his country to go abroad
upon that errand. But, to our mind. the
possibility of such a thing seems so re-
mote that we cannot believe that even
the optimistic Kruger, who thought the 6oer
Republic a match for Great Britain, could
really think himself able to bring about
such consummation.
Our correspondent expresses surprise that
a Southern man (meaning The Times
newspaper) should accept statements from
an interested source hostile to the Beers
as a basis for it comments, adding that
the Northern people said that Mr. Jeffer-
son Davis fed dressed in his wife's cloth
ing, a statement always bitterly resented
by the Southern people We don't quite
catch the pertincncy of our Correspondents
first remark. We have not based our
comments upon the statements of interested
parties hostile to the Beers. We have
based them upon the well-knoWn facts
of the case as they have bean sent out to
the world by the regularly accredited news
agencies.
AS to Northerners' statements ABOUT Mr.
Davis, our correspondent must discriml-
nate. The Southern people have resented
the statement that he fled, dressed in
his wife's clothes, because that was d
calumny. But they have not resented
the statement that he fled, because that
was a fact and he was not to be blamed
for fleeing from the points he left. He
did not desert his people. Our correspond
ent has so much Of the same sort OF
material for provoking miTth that we have
not space to follow him and must leave
him, therefore, with these specimens OIL
what amuses him.
