Circuit court, March 3rd. took un-

The Convention.

May the 2nd is the date and Nor
ok the place selected by the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee for the
State convention. The one thing of
importance is that the convention
will meet prior to the May election
and the Democratic party will have
opportunity To speak authoritatively
on the question OF calling a constitu-
tional convention, The question will
not require much debate for we are
convinced that an overwhelming ma
jority Of the Democrats of Virginia
favor a revision of the constitution.
There will be time enough after the
2nd of May to inform the voters and
array the Democracy solidly in favor
ofthe cOnvention.-Lynchburg News

Peace Not in Sight

Pedce Not IN Sight
Mafeking is now the only be.
leaguered pest in British South
Africa that remains to be relieved.
In few days the announcement
may be expected that the Beers
have retired from Mafeking and
gone to reinforce the army in the
Free State. At present the Orange
Free stare is the theater of the
war. Some hard fightin may be
expected there, but Lord Roberts
with his overwhelming force will
soon gam possession of the whole
country and sweep on toward the
Transvaal, which is to be the scene
of the last great struggle. The re.
port that President Kruger has
gone to consult President Steyn on
the ACCESSIBILITY Of initiating nego-
siatons for peace is unworth of
credence. The Beers still have a
large military force and their spirit
is unbrOken The British have not
yet reached the border of the
Transvaal republic and it is I'M
reasonable TO suppose that the
Beers who struck the first blow
viii think of surrenderIng before
the enemy reaches the border Of
the republic Lord Roberts may
attempt TO dctach the Free State
from the Transvaal republic and
make aSeperate peace but the eff
fort is likely to fail at present,
though it may succeed if the con-
fe1erates suffer any signal defeat
in the field. The British govern
ment is not anticipating early
peace. Preparations are actively
going on for sending 30, 900 recruits
to South Africa during March and
April. This does not indicate an
early cessation of hoStilItics. There
are only two ways IN which peace
can he securcd,-Onc by the sub
mission OF the Beers other is by
foreign intervention. There is no
immediate prospect that any for
eign power will take the initiative
in mediation. though France
would be delighted to take that
step if she could do with any hope
of success. France and Russia
together might give Great Britain
a great deal of trouble, but neither
will act alone. Germany and Italy
are friendly to Great Britain and
they stand in the way Of any hos
tile demonstration on the part of
France or Russia The States gov.
ernment is not likely To depart
from the role neutrality or offer
mediation which would certainly
be rejected. Therefore, one must
conclude that the war in South
Africa will have t. go ON until the
cOmbatants themselves are ready
to make peace When that will be
remains for future Developments
to Indicate.

Captain Samuel Reber caused a con-

Miss Miles has long been a leading
figure. The announcement was unex-

really nothing surprising about it
captain Reber, whose mother was a
Sherman, is Miss Miles's second cousin
and the two have almost grown up to-
gether. He is several years her senior.
and they have been fast friends, so
nuch that no one thought of them as
lovers. More than that, Miss Miles has
been such general favorite that her
name has frequently been coupled with
those of other Army officers who have
paid her marked attention, and her
marriage has been prophesied repeat

fancy free.

Instead Of Being an injury as His
Political Opponents Claim, His
Washington Park Enterprise Has
Been aGreat Benefit to the City--Facts
and Figures for Thinking Citizens.

Nearly 27O years ago Roger Williams
fed from his prosecutors in Massachu-
setts and sought home among the more
friendly Indians who dwelt upon the
shores OF Narragansett bay.
Roger Williams there and then laid the
foundations upon which was built the
now great city of Providence.
Roger was progressive and so were his
followers and their progeny.
They were forehanded and looked out
for the future. and IL is due to the pro-
gressive ideas which they promulgated
and inculcated that Providence is what II
is today.
Fifty years ago foundry was built at
the corner of what is now Broad and
Pearl streets. which was looked upon as a
folly. The promoters OF the scheme were
scoffed at; their enterprise was designa-
ted as folly-they had gone out into the
country.
Time has flown rapidly, the city has
grown steadily and today the site OF the
folly OF five decades ago is almost in the
heart OF the municipality.
Business men, working upon n sound
basis. had been laborng to make Provi-
dence the strong second city in New
land Tffey--iteiti pushed building operations
into the suburbs and residences were
springing up as if by magic
There was an overflow and South Prov
idence camo into existence. An over
crowding toward tho west induced John
Hebden and others to open up the large
farming district on Sky High hill. for
resulted. almost a city In itself and
settlement any city would be proud of
because OF the high character of the
residents and the quality OF the houses
erected.
Up to the present date none Of those
who were identified in the development
OF Mt Pleasant have been executed as
malefactors.
There came demand for more houses.
The city still grew. The progressive
people continued TO be I'm the majority.
For years the Washington Trotting
Park had been nothing but a COW pas
ture. Its former glories had departed and
while Il was assessed upon n valuation
of 10000 a year, IL was unproductive.
In 1891 the great tract OF land contained
one old farm house and n two-family
dwelling.
STARTING OF AN ENTERPRISE.
Its advantages were realized and COM
pany Of enterprislng men was formed
which purchased the tract. plated II as
Washington Park. ana put It upon the
market
Every street upon the plat was
brought 10 a grade at the expense OF the
owners and when tho city accepted the
streets. the company furnished. free
gratis. the gravel and material with which
the streets were built and the item Of
saving to the city was a large one.
Fund. were provided for people who
desired 10 build. md presently the park
became so largely populated that tho
house owners demanded primary school
accommodations for their little ones.
The Washington Park company gave 10
the city, free OF cost. a lot upon which
a modest schoolhouse was erected.
In the meantime other realty owners
