Lynchburg is one of the most
prosperous and progressive cities Of
Virginia. It's founder was John
Lynch. His father, Charles Lynch,
an Irishman, left bis native land in
1920 when a youth, came to Virgin
la and was apprenticed to Christie
pher Clark, Quaker and wealthy
tobacco planter. Before many years
the young apprentice married the
daughter of his employer. Col.
Charles Lynch, brother Of the
founder of the town, presided during
the War of the Revolution over an
impromptu court which inflicted
punishment on Tory desperadoes.
This was the origin Of lynch law
in the United States. In 1882 the
General Assembly of Virginia sane
toned Lynch's law by passing an
act for the protection Of those who
had dispensed justice in an informal
way. Many of the more respectable
Tories who had been logged by or
der of the court instituted suits for
damages.

FOR THE SUPERSTITIOUS.
How The Cnlucky 13 Pursued Caleb
Powers to Conviction.

GEoRaETowN, Ky. Aug y.
Fatal 49, has pursued Caleb Powers
like Nemesis.
He was nominated for office on June
13, 1899
Thirteen months later, on July -,
he vas arraigned and the evidence
began.
Thirteen eonspirators were named.
The defense was represented by
thirteen lawyers.
Miss Lucy Brock, Powers sweet
heart, was the 18th witness.
The evidence showed that 1900
soldiers were encamped on the capi-
tai grounds TO hold the pretenders in
Office, and that Powers gave Culton
81, 800 to pay the expenses of the
mountainous.
When arrested on his flight to the
mountains, Powers had 5 300 remain
ing OF the amount placed In his hands
to raise the mountain army.
The last day OF evidence was Aug
ust l3, s'and to add to that said
an attorney for the defense, sore over
what he claimed was unfairness on
the part OF the court, ssthere were 10

New York and New Jersey.

'sBoth New York and New Jersey
will give Bryan their electoral votes
this fall, very positively announced
Representative Thos. j. Bradley, OF
New York City in Washington yester-
day. There is nothing at all surpris-
ing in this statement to the student
Of practical politics and human ma
ture. Let me explain, Bryan was de-
feated by a very narrow margin four
years ago, because he was looked up
on as a radical man; man with new
and untried ideas and principles.
Hence the great commercial centers,
where the conservative element is in
control, opposed and defeated him.
For business, or wealth is always con-
seryative and very fearful of anything
like radical departure from old
standards and ldeax In other words
money is always afraid Of anything it
don't understand 1t did not under
stand Mr.. Bryan and his ideas in 1896
and it therefore strained itself to
beat him.
This year, however, it is just the
other way. 1t is Mckinley who has
departed from the ways of our fathers
and left beyond hope OF return the
good old ways upon which this nation
was founded and built up, and the
wealth OF the country, as usual, does
not understand this new thing, and
therefore fears it. 1t Is Mckinley
who is looked upon as radical this
year, and the great centers OF popula-
ton and commerce will be against
him. He will be defeated while Bry-
an who has taken his old opponents
place as the conservator Of the ancient
established institutions OF the country
will be triumphantly elected. How
about New Jersey? Why, in presi-
Dental yearsNew Jersey generally goes
as New York does. Did you never
notice that? Then you watch it this
time.

FALsIFyING THE CENSUS
For the Purpose of Making Republican
Campaign Literature.

The National Democratic Congress
ional Committee has been collecting
facts concerning the corrupt manipu-
lation of the Twelfth Census by the
Republican managers. It has issued
for the benefit Of voters a warning of
what to expect. The committee finds
that the Census Bureau of the United
States has been turned into a partisan
adjunct OF the Republican party and
a machine for the manufacture OF
campaign literature. Such corrupt
census, It AYERS, has never before been
taken in this country. In the great
cities and industrial centers OF the
North and East Justification of reports
and the doctoring of statistics are GO
ing on. Reports are being deliberate
ly corrupted, it says, by seheming par
tisan managers in order to show
false condition of prosperity and to
bolster up party politics and class Leg
islation. The Republican Admins
tration has decided that the Twelfth
Census must show high degree of
prosperity of the Mckinley brand and
the real facts are not allowed to ham
per the editors in making up their re-
ports. 1t is shown by the committee
that the work Of reporting the textile
establishments, one Of the largest and
best branches of the manufacturing
industry, and which responds most
promptly and surely to artificial leg
islation, restrictions and special priv
ileges, has been taken out OF the hands
OF the regular agents and given into
the charge of men alleged to be ex-
perts, whose instructions are to make
their reports show prosperity in the
face of Numerically opposite condl-
tions. In all the divisions dealing
with the conditions of labor, indus
tries, finances, agriculture and loans
and mortgages the same degree of cor
ruption is said to prevail. The Cen
sus will cost the taxpayers at least
$l2, 900, 900 and on this showing of
the committee it will be money prac-
tically wasted.

When to Advertise.

There are business establishments
which cut down their advertising in
dull seasons. Others follow the
course of successful merchant who
says. When trade falls below its
normal activity either increase my
advertising or else enliven it with
special offers. In dull times, as in
busy, there is patronage to be gained
by advertising, and / want it most
when business is slack. A small
gain then is as grateful as larger
one when trade is brisk"

EVERYTHING is DEARER.
Causes Which Have Produced the Rise
of Commodities in England.
London Daily Mail.

s'Oil is a penny a gallon dearer to-
day. WHY "Oh, / don't know.
The war / suppose
That is what you hear in most
shops inst now. 1t may be oil or
ivory, bedsteads or beeswax, bones
or borax. The seller wants more
for all of then, and you must pay or
go without.
Oils of all kinds have risen so
steadily that some big distributing
agencies in the city are ceasing to
run their oil-driven motors and are
reverting to more primitive horse
flesh. Even lubricating oil that a
year ago was 5s Cd ton is now 9s
Linseed oil has risen in value rs per
cent, refined cottonseed oil has gone
up from los to 25s, and even olive
oil has risen from 30s to 35s. In all
cases these are the rises in the
wholesale market. Naturally they
are much greater by the time they
reach the retail buyer.
Men are going about to-day ask
ing each other the reason of all this.
There are many causes, all of which
have worked together First and
greatest is the rise in the price of
coal Coal is the motive power Of
everything to-day. Coal rose be
cause there was great demand for
it owing to the general boom in
trade, and because the coal owners
and distributors are so united that
they can force the public to submit
to their terms.
The war threw trade out of gear
in various ways. Numbers of ships
were taken from their ordinary work
to serve as military transports. This
made shipping scarce, and so fleights
rose. AS freights rise, all foreign
goods brought into our markets be-
came dearer. Shipbuilding and rail
way activity created great demand
for metals. The iron masters had
to pay more for their coal and more
for their labor, so they raised their
prices. This has made every article
in iron or steel goods dearer. Unless
the iron market collapses, they will
go higher still.

WASHINGTON, August 22-In re-
spouse to letter of inquiry from
the Postmaster General, Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson has approved
the request OF the California State
Board Of Horticulture that postmas
tiers at Pacific coast points of entry
shall submit all mail matter from
Hawaii and the Philippines contain
ing fruit or plants to the horticul-
ture officials of the Pacific coast
states for their inspection before de-
livery to the addresses. The execu-
tive committee of the California
Board had forwarded resolutions as
serting that large number of pests
were carried in the horticultural
products sent from those islands
Secretary Wilson says in his reply
that the quarantine service which
California has been carrying on for
some years to protect the State from
injurious insects, especially from
Asiatic and Australian ports, has
done admirable work and has saved
the agricultural and horticultural
industries on the Pacific coast from
great loss. Ii the instructions to
postmasters suggested can be issued,
he says, the protection of the fruit
growing interests OF thatpart of the
country will be complete.
