The Small College.

we are certain that what is known
as the 'little college" has not that
place in public estimation and an.
probation, which it deserves. We
are all prone to look with a sort of
suspicion or doubt on the small col
iege. The larger schools and uDiyer-
sites overshadow them. 1t shor d
uot be so. These small COLLEGES
placed here and there throughout the
iand' are the hope of the poor--the
masses who have an ambition for an
education. The larger schools a, e
open only to those who have or can
command money. Take the colleges
Sniversities and Seminaries. all of
which have ample endowments bv
which they are supposed to he able
to furnish education az a cheaper
rate and student cant get into one
OF them without expenditures which
only the rich and we'll TODD can COM
mand. The High Schools and small
colleges of the land are the hone Of
the country. They are often ard
centrally, manned by teachers who
are graduates of colleges or univer-
sites and the opportunities offered
are fully equal to the more porten.
uous college. A plea should be
entered everywhere for the small
institutions of learning. they are
a power. They lay the foundation

No WdKover.

1t is clear that the Republicans no
longer expect to have a walkover in
the presidential race. Their candi
date finds himself very much hanoi
capped 10y the strike of al-miners
IN Pennsylvania. When the admin
istrations' stump speaks get up and
declaim about Mckinley prosperity
aud the full dinner pail" they
trembld les; the miners strike should
be thrown up" ut them.
That's condition, not theory.
and 1t must be observed that the
strike is III the boss ridden Republi-
can State, which has profitted greatly
by protection, and that the mine
owners, supporters of the admins
tretion. aud are friends of Mckinley,
Hanna and Quay.
In dealing vi h particular subject.
the Republican orators must either
confess that Mckinley prosperity
has net reached the coal regions, or
else that the strikers have NO erIev-
aLces There is no other course for
them to persue.

One Of the fiercest fights now 60

SO we say Mckinley and Roose-

numerous intelligent Republicans,
but by many Jelly non-partisan, but
selfishly calculating operators in

New Electric Light Rates.

AS w l DE seen Ny an advertisement
in this issue Of the NEwN, our Elec-
trio Light Company has issued new
aud advanced schedule of rates.
The reason for this advance OF rates
is explained III booklet which the
Compr ~ has had prepared and dis
tributed. 1t IS no surprise to a
large number of tue citizens of the
town, for many of them have known
for long time that the plant Was
running at loss to it's owners. 1t
WAS impossible to figure out profit
to the Company from the prices they
were charging for their lights, even
under the most economical manage
ment possible. And now, after
airing the burden and carrying the
load for year, they come out and
state frankly that they cannot carry
this loss any longer, and have issued
to Il new schedule of rates, beginning
November1st, which will enable them
rdr. We have one of the best of
lights. In fact, there are very few
towns in Virginia, outside the large
cities, whose lights are equal to OURS.
This testimony Is borne by drum
mers and visitors from every section,
and 1T was uncomfortable by business
men that this splendid plant could
be installed and operated at the
prices charged
Now, instead of shutting down
the plant and thus inficting a blow
upon the town from which it would
not soon recover, the Company
comes forward frankly and shows
that notwithstan ling the utmost
economy and closest attention, that
they are losing money, and advance
thei" rates, and ask their patrons and
public!to stick to them and stand by
them, This is right, and unless I'll
signs fail the patrons of the Com
pans are going to "sticl- and uphold
the boys.
No man who cares anything what
ever for the future, as we'll as pres
ent comfort and good of the town,
will hesitate for a moment, and now,
if not heretofore will use the lights.
An examination of the rates as
published in the new schedule, will
show that we get the lights, even
now, at least so per cent. cheaper
that any other town in the State, with
probably one exception. For In
stance: Re- 1ford charges 81 I-2
cents per month for one light and
$3.50 for 4 lights; Ronceverte, w,
Va, 40 cents each, urge quantities
90; Suffolk, Va, S1.OO per month
for to o lights; Roanoke, so cents
TO Sl.OO per month, according to the
number taken; Charlottesville, $I.OOI
per light per month to 10 o'clock at
night a1d $50 for sI night. So
1t WI be seen that our new schedule
Is much below that fixed by other
sma" towns in Virginia, and we
guarantee their 'ghts are no better
and in many cases, not good as
ours. 1t would be s. 'ange = som,

''F'ckers in every town, whose sole

way officials had been within four miles
of Vassar and Was driven back by flames.
From stragglers who have escaped they
iearmed that 100 tsaius with all camping
outfits had been abandoned and that the
men have scattered for their lives in all
directions. One hundred thousand ties
and ten thousands cords of wood were
burned and the camps were completely
encirolsd by the raging flames. The
special train had just left on another trial
to try to break through the flames and
attempt additional resoues. Since that
time NO word has been received and the
officials conclude that Wood Ridge 10
