A Railroad Row In Lynchburq.

About year ago the Norfolk and
Western railway started to build a
side track here on a strip OF ground
between the factory of the Hughes
Buggy Company and James river. The
Chesapeake and Ohio claimed the
ground, got out an injunction in the
Circuit Court against the Norfolk and
Western and then built its own side
track there. Recently Judge Whittle,
in the Circuit Court, decided that the
disputed ground belonged to the Nor
folk and Western, and allowed the
Chesapeake and Ohio ninety days in
which to take an appeal, which they
failed to do.
Friday morning at 8 o'clock City
Sergeant Johnson placed the strip of
land in possession Of Superintendent
Dubarry, of the Norfolk and Western,
who, with a construction force, at
once commenced to tear up the Chesa-
peake and Ohio track and lay down his
own. The Chesa peake and Ohio at
tempted to run loaded cars on the
track, but M ajor Dubarry obstructed
them until his men could tear. up thu
rails. At one time it looked az though
there was going to be trouble. and
squad of police were detailed to keel
the peace while the Norfolk and West
ern finished its side track.

NATIONAL BANKS CAN BREAK.

Baltimore has seen a National Bank
fail within the last week. Ihere is
some kind of impression that these
favorites of Republican rule, these
government agents for issuing shin
plasters. cannot break. This is not a
fact. Their managers, though Repub-
licans generrlly. are like most Repub-
licans not always above suspicion, and
need not be trusted implicitly, though
the average citizen does trust anything
behind glass door with the word
Bank on it it in gilt letters, and es-
pecially National Bank" He thinks
the word national links the bank with
the United States Treasury so closely
that Uncle Sam pays all the debts the
bank owes OF guarantees that they
will be paid. A national bank is by
no means a church from which only
good can emanate. 1t is often al
crook ed as the hind leg OF a dog. anc
doubtless since the new law passed
Congress giving most anybody
cha nee to start a national bank ther'
are many srganized for the purpose o
robbery. The fellow who cracks thu
safe is not near so bad as the chap whit
STANDS with pen behind his ear taking
your money and then putting it IN hl
own capac ious pocket. Put not you
trust in princes and national banks.

HAZiNG AT WEST POINT.

The hazing at West Point has be-
come a very odious business. A cadet
there by the name of Booz il said to
have been so injured that be died a
short time ago. An investigation IL
now pending, and while nobody mas
confessed that he killed him, or told
on anyone else who did, there is GER
tainIy room for much censure OF the
management. Nobody blames the
boys. Boys will play pranks and
sometimes mistreat their comrades,

THE ENGLISH HAVE IMlTAT0RS.

There is much seeming righteous
INDIGNATION in various parts of this
country, especially north, over Ehglisn

digpant say recalls Eugllsh atrocltles
under Cockburn when he devastated
the shores of the Chesapeake IN 1915,
and burned the capitol and nlte
House at Washington. Those par
barities may have been very great IN
1913, and there is no doubt that at
present the English are doing all Sorts
of heathenish things in South Africa,
but for precedents we would not GO
back SO far, nor need we, when speak

civilization. 20 out of our own couh
try, nor further back than 1864, when
that beast, old Alex. Hunter, and
the now much admired and lamented
Phil Sheridan, burned and devastated
this Valley, insulted women and NAL
sreated old men and little children,
burned their homes over their heads,
destroyed every vestige of food found
and left them to starve. This occurred
under Hunter in 1864, and when Sher-
loan said, "a crow must carry It's
hayersack" over this Valley, and then
II was that hundreds of thousands OF
women, old men and little children
were left without food or shelter by
the AIvILIzED officers and soldiers OF
the United States. The English have
done no more. In courts OF justice
when authorities are cited those most
apro pos are sought, as we'll as the
most recent, and especially those de
cided by our own courts. In eases Of
barbarity this rule might as well be
adopted so that we cite Sheridan and
Hunter as two of the most noteworth.

NeT TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT.

Gen. Fitz Lee has been talking we
fear too much, but he has told mighty
truth. He ought not to have told it
lust now because he was talking out
of school, but when he said, 1.-THE
American flag is in Cuba and l tell
you on the dead quiet it is going to
stay there,'' he said something, and he
was not talking through his hat. We
are afraid the General will be deciplin
ed for this slip of the tongue, but out
of the fullness of the hecrt the mouth
hath spoken. Gen. Lse has been for a
long time a rank anexationist, and he
knows the policy of the government is
to annex it, SO he had to tell it. We
may look for another war in Cuba, but
the island will be part Of the United
States.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
