Berryville, Va. March 10. 1900
Editor of CLARKE CouRrER.
Dear Sir:-It has been nv intention
for some time to AK for the use of Dor
'ion OF your columns TO explsin my con-
nection with bill passed in the Senate
on February Gath. refer to the bill 10
charter the Valley Agriculture Fair. one
OF the provisions of which permitted
DOCK making on the result of the races
The rush of business during the last DAYS
OF the session, however, and nv illness
since my return home have interfered
with my purpose.
The facts are, briefly, these:
On the morning in question brother
senator handed me the bill with the re-
quest from my colleague, Mr.. Warthen.
TO introduce and pass il Through the Sem
ate, as he, for some reason, would net he
In his seat that day. Upon opening the
OH, found that all the Incorporates
named were, as far as l knew, Warren
people, and judging from this that twas
purely local affair and a praisewortbv
one, gave the bill only such reading As
would enable me to explain its provis-
ions to the Senate, if called upon to do
so. trusted, as is Away. done. to the
local representative to have eyervthing
arranged in proper shape and TO the sat
isfsction of the local interests involved
Having read the bill thus partially and
hurriedly, L presented il and had it passed.
Soon after our county-msn. Mr.. Geo. c.
shepherd, very efficient clerk of the
senate, informed me ofthe Objectionable
feature of the bill and immediately ex-
planned the matter TO the Senate. had IL
reconsidered and sent to the committee
III erred or made fool of myself
II could only have been in not reading
the bill more carefully, and the distin
guished gentlemen who have represented
the county in the Legislature will bear
me out in the statement that local bills
are never examined with care. II isal-
ways foregOne conclusion that each
delegate or senator knows what his peo-
pie want and will present their wishes in
proper form. In presenting bill for
my colleague, had the right to trust
him; in fact, it was a courtesy due him.
In this case, he assures me that he did
not know of the Objectionable provision.
as friend had drawn the bill and. with
out his authority. had inserted il; and
that he, taking for granted that the bill
had been drawn as he had directed il
should be, had not read it over.
In view of the facts, hope the people
of Clarke will see that have nothing 70
bring discredit upon them as their rep
resentstive and none upon myself az a
member of the Senate. can assure them
that my action in this matter made no
difference in the kindly consideration
and respect which had been accorded me
10y everyone in the body from NV en-
trance into it, which has been and will
always be source of great qualification
and satisfaction TO me.
Thanking you for your kindness.
am Very truly yours,

Elaborate pr-p.rt;on. -. 49,;

Elaborate preparations are being
made at hichmond. Va, for = free
Street Fair aud Carnival, which will
last all the week beginning May IA,
lSVO. Ihe exposition is TO be held
on oroad Street, now the principal
retail business thOroughfsre of the
Capitai City Of the Old Dominion.
Broad street Is Que the widest and
hnest avenues To be found in any
city IN the country. 1t excites the
admiration OF each of the thousands
OF tourists that visit that CITY, 40
rich IN historic interest, annually.
A Street Far, MS many already
know, is just what It's name implies
"A display In booths erected along
the best adapted thoroughfsre in y
city Tor the exhibition of the products
OF the factories aud the best of sub
stantials and tineries to be found in
both the wholesale and retail bust
ness houses.
But this is not all. There is pleu-
ty TO amuse. The very best of mod
ern attractions will be at the Rich
mond Free Street Fair, and there
Will be plenty of music-in fact
bands will be playing from Monday
morning until Saturday night. No
expense Is being spared to obtain ev-
erythlng that will delight and smuse.
At this early day it is impossible
TO Innumerate the vast numbers of
attractions to be seen at Richmond
during Carnival week. 1t NAV be
said, however, that the parade COM
mlttee has prepared for u reproduce
OF the Mardi Gras pageant, which
which will be on more elaborate
scale than that in February at New
Orleans.
Great many it is confidently expect
ed, will attend Richmond'G exposition
from this section. There will be ad
equate hotel and boarding house &C
commOdations, aud the rate will be
reasonable. No one need fear of
Richmoud's inability to entertain all.
This was demonstrated when the
Confederate reunion was there a few
years ago. On several DAYS on that
occasion more than 100000 visitors
were within the gates of the CITY.
There will be special excursions
rates, of course.

Legislative hall and kill off enough
Democrats to make il our way" The
testimony did not show that the al

the original plan. nor did il contain
the names of those who conceived
that idea. But the Commonwealth
sought to show by Golden's CONVEX

1t is said that ex President Cleve-
land will shortly make public an
nouncemen of his intention to SUP.
port Mr.. Bryan for the presidency
next fall. Many of the most prom
inent of the gold democrats who OPP
posed Mr.. Bryan four years
ago are heartily Disguised with the
Mckinley administration and will
return to full party allegiance. They
should be warmly welcomed back in
to the fold. a reunited democracy
will have a fine opportunity of elect
ing President next fall.
We have very little sympathy with
those persons or papers that foolish
ly boot at the return of the gold
democrats to the party. The de
mocracy needs them and they have
discovered that they need the democ
racy, so let the Kansas City conven-
ton adopt platform upon which the
democratic party can unite, and vic
tory will be theirs at the polls in No

Mob Law at Emporla, Va.

Walter Cotton, "a negro, aud Brandt
OGrady, white. were lynched at Em
porla, Greenesville county, Va, al
-2:45 o'clock Saturday afternoon, |
hour and 20 minutes after the with
drawal of State soldiers. The with
drawal Was virtual surrender of the
prisoners to mob 90 the part of the
County Judge and Sheriff. The ac
ton Of the county authorities was
vigorously protested against by Go,
ernor Tyler, but the protest was dis
regarded.
The trouble began Wednesday
when the house of John r. Grizzard
at Emporia was robbed. Two tramps.
one white, whose name was O'Grad,
and negro, Walter Cotton, who
some time ago escaped from the Nor
folk Jail while under the sentence of
death, were suspected and Maglstrat,
John w. Saunders and Constable J.
n. Welton weut in pursuit. The,
were killed by the tramps, who es
capped. Friday the negro was cap
tured at Jarratts, a station on the Al
lantic Coast Line, few miles north
OF EmpOrla. He was taken to En-
poria aud placed in Jail. A larg,
crowd of citizens, armed with various
weapons, began to assemble, but were
unable to reach the prisoner. Later
O'Grady was arrested and lodged H.
Jail at Emporia. The man was found
In the house where the murder of the
officers was committed, but denies
having had any part in the shooting.
A company of the Richmond Blues
was ordered to Emporia Friday by
Governor Tyler on the strength of the
representations of the county Judge.
During the night it was reported that
the soldiers would be attacked by
mob. Another company was sent
from Richmond, 60 miles north, and
notice given by Major Sol. Cutchins
that if attacked his men would shoot
to kill. The mob then quieted down.
Saturday morning meeting OF
cltIzens was held in Judge Good wyn's
office, and it was voted that tn troops
should be withdrawn, though no con
cealment was made of the intention
to lynch the prisoners. The order
was signed by the Sheriff and Judge
despite the earnest protest of Govern
or Tyler against the withdrawal.
The two companies left Emporia
FOR Richmond at 1I:25 o'clock. A
mob was organized, and at l2:45 Cot |
ton was swung up to tree in the
courthouse yard and his body riddled |
with bullets.

The Kissaphone.

The reason why kiss
Contains so much felicity
Is Just because each pair Of lips
Is full of electricity.
Ii flashes in the eve,
OR in a smile so tender.
And then the lips together pressed
Produce the kiss in splendor.
Now, this device is known
by the name of kissaphone,
And of all the phones invented il is
by far the best.
No other electricity
Gives half as much felicity,
For Love turns on the current. and the
kiss does the rest.
To work the kissaphone
You do not need a battery,
Nor any dynamo machine
With magnets and such matter-v:
lou do not ring a bell,
Nor Central call. Hello ling
Ii only wants wish, a sigh.
To set the thing a-going.
The kissaphone was not
Invented by an Edison;
II never has been patented,
Like cOrsets or medicine.
II don't get out of gear
If anything is missing;
mere Is no yearly bill to pay,
No charge for extra kissing.
The kissaphone's in use
Throughout the whole communitv;
on need not be millionaire
TO have the opportunity
There's no more cost TO paw
For one kiss or for twenty
so why not push the thing along.
And kisses have in plenty?

The Topeka Capital, KAN, which

The Topeka Capital, Kan, which
was published for one week as q
Christian daily, according to the
ideas of Rev. G.. NJ. Sheldon, was
such a success that its principal
owners have decided to continue it
on the same plan. A Sunday edi
ton was issued, but it was filled en-
tirely with religious matter and was
finished before 10 o'clock Saturday
night, though the previous Monday
morning edition was prepared for on
Sunday. Financially, however, the
paper brought great returns, but
whether this was on account of Gu
riosity and will drop off in short
time, or continue as permanent pa
tronage remains to be seen. There
are many daily and weekly papers
conducted on lines of strict morality
and their aim is to benefit mankind
aud the community, but the COM
biniag of a religious and secular
journal in one is original with Mr..
Sheldon. Where Church and State
have been joined in nations, corrup-
ton has been followed by disruption,
owing to bigoted denominationialism
OF the church party in power. Now
the question arises how long can Mr..
SheldOn's plan of Christian daily
be saved from the narrowness of de-
nominationalism? Each change of
editors may bring change of con-
victions and consequent loss of pa
tronage from those whose ideas differ
with his.

A recent statement of former Sen
ator German is interesting especially
to Democrats, as he takes very
hopeful view of the political situation
from a party standpoint. He says
that although the country has pros
pered in various directions under
McKinley's administration, the PEG
pie are dissatisfied and desire a
change, and consequently Democratic
chances for success are brighter than
they were four yeers ago, and if they
take advantage of their opportunities

less occupy the Presidential mansion
