STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D..
Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
says: "My wife has been so help
less for FIVE years that she could not
turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters she
is wonderfully improved and able to
do her own work" This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. 1t is a
godsend to weak, sickly, rundown
people. Cure guaranteed. Only soc.

The trial of Rev. j. L. II. Riddick.
fer the murder of DR.. VIM. IL.
Temple, opened Tuesday at Law
rencevillein Brunswick county. The
defense indicated by questions and
the names of the witnesses summoned
that the prisoners plea will be
insanity.
When the prisoner was arraigned
and asked To plead his deafness be-
came painfully manifest at this point.
He stood up and used his ear trumpet,
raising il to his ear to catch the
words of the clerk, Guilty or not
guilty to the Indictments MIR.
Riddlck did not hear and did not
answer. His counsel, however, plead
ed for him "Not guilty" lie paid
no attention to the reading Of the in
dictment.
The first witness was Turner
Thornton, the mulatto who witnessed
the shooting of DR.. Temple by the
prisoner. lie said that after three
shots DIR. Temple fell and Riddick
ran past Thornton, leveling his pistol
and saying, 81 have killed one grand
rascal and if you bother me / will
kill you"
DR.. 5. II. 'Mosely testified as to
the effect of the wounds. He said
he asked DIR. Temple if he knew any
cause for Riddick shooting him and
his reply was: 81 have not the
remotest idea why he should have
shot me. | don't mind dying, but it
is hard to be killed in this manner
without cause" On cross examina-
ton the witness quoted DR.. Temple
as saying: "Riddick must have been
insane. / don't see how any sane
man could have done as he did"
The constable who arrested Mr..
Riddick was the next witness. The
prisoner said to him, the witness
stated, that he would give his life
for DIR. Temples; that perhaps he
had been little hasty. The consta-
bic took Riddick to visit his wife at
the parsonage He left the husband
standing at the door while they
talked. He heard Mrs. Riddick saw
to her husband: "No, sir, | did not
tell you that" but did not know to
what she alluded. Subsequently as
Riddick and the constable drove
along the road together Riddick said:
"Weil. Joe, was mistaken; | asked
my wife those questions and she saws
she did not tell me what / thought"
The prominence of the parties con-
nected with the case makes it one of
the most interesting known in this
State Tor many years. The accused
was the pastor of the Methodist
Church in Brunswick and one of the
best-known mem bers of the confer
ence of that denomination in Vir-
gInia. His father, the Rev. J. E..
Riddick, is the presiding elder of the
Richmond circuit.

the home of Congressman William Z.

it. Mr.. Jones voted for the conven-

to the assembling of the Legislature
next winter to arrange for the meet
ing of the Constitutional Convention.

will act in the matter of calling the
convention in accordance with the

Let every citizen lend all the aid
that he can to advance the work.
The questions asked are not imperti-
aent, and are necessary in order that
our section and country shall be
properly represented-and not mis-
represented, as has been the case for
so many decades past. While urg-
ing the people to do their parts we
are not unmindful of the fact that
far more depends upon the enumer-
ators themselves. In the Northern
Neck we are fortunate in having "a
representative class of men to do
the work. We believe it will be done
we'll, but We urge upon them the ne
cessity of listing every individual to
which We are entitled. There are a
greatnumber of our citizens (particu-
larly among the colored) who have
gone to other sections; the spring ex-
odus has transpired, and as they will
not be listed IN their temporary
homes our section is entitled to be

resentation. and the State greater
representation nationally.

INDEPENDENCE WAS INF1pELIT1

Il
There is need of congratulatlon
fer those Democrats who have toiled
for long years to the end that the last
yestige of Reconstruction days should
be wiped from Virginia's statute
book. The victory last week for a
Constitutional Convention gives
promise that the rule of petty bosses
and the office-holders' clan is about
at an end. The people wanted the
Convention, and, Notwithstanding
the mighty efforts made by Democrats
working insidiously within the ranks
the most dangerous Of. all foes-the
proposition was carried by safe ma
jority. We now feel more than reason
ably assured that within due course of
time new Constitution will be given
the State.
1t is very notifying that Lancas-
ter county, and, in fact, the whole
Northern Neck, should have gone
solidly against theproposition. The
"outside row" has become used TO
being slurred at, bat in this instance
while appearances are against us we
deny that The result is because our
PEOPLE are benighted. Three years
ago, when no active part was taken
against the measure by any of our
prominent Democrats, some of our
counties voted for the proposition.
That upon this occasion they should
have given big majorities against it is
due to infidelity of some Democratic
leaders-and not because the rank
and bile of the party were opposed to
the proposition. The secret talk of
these banded the colored vote to-
gether, and the fact that within the
party they were recognized as leaders
discouraged Democrats who were not
over-willing at best to lose day to
get to the polls.
Some of these leaders were. no
doubt, conscientious in their opposi-
ton, and possibly believed they had
good reasons for not wanting the
Convention, but was loyalty to party
nothing to them? The Democratic
party incorporated it in the platform
IN Convention at Norfolk, which
some of them attended and never de-
INJURED to the Constitutional proyi-
sion, and it must be admitted that
these leaders today stand just as dis
loyal to party as did the Democrats
of SO who refused to accept the ''I6
to L" plank, and voted accordingly.
Where is the difference, aud who of
them will deny that party fealty
IN one case was as exacting as in the
other? b..
No, it was not the people, nor is it
intellectual darkness that hangs over
The "ontside row." but only the ma
chlnations of politicians who inter-
pref to suit themselves and bolt the
party platform or nominees when
they feel SO disposed.
