DIR. HYDE CRlIlCIZES M'kINLEY.
Brunswick, March l9.-President
Hyde's talk In the chapel this afternoon
widely differed from his usual short Sun
day afternoon SO rmons, and hes caused
much comment among the students.
The Scripture lesson read was the story
OF BALKAN, and the talk which followed
had Inconsistency" as its text, tut con.
sisted almost entirely of a criticism Of
Gov. Roosevelt for his removal of DR..
Backup, and Of President Mckinley for
his action regarding Porto Rico.
"Roossvelt." said President Hyde, "has
had such good previous record that this
mistake of his may be forgotten, but Mo-
Kinley has shown his fatal characteristic;
isIbecoming distrdsted by the people, and
II not strongly entrenched in his party
could rot be reelected next November"
Continuing, he compared Mckinley to
Gladstone, saying: Gladstone changed
his mind; Mckinley has allowed his
N ind to be changed for him."
In concluding, President Hyde said,
emo nan who so acts can command the
respect and confidence OF the American
people. Remember the relapse Of REQ O.
volt, remember the downfall Of Mckin-
ley"

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE.

The formation of the new corpora
tion known as the Seaboard Air Line
means a great deal for Virginia and
the South, and Norfolk and Ports
mouth in particular.
The Virginia Legislature paid a
splendid tribute to Mr. John Shelton
Williams as fnancier and railroad
man, when, by a unanimous vote, it
conferred upon him the power which
virtually consummates the deal.
This road means through line,
and an opposition line out of Norfolk
and Portsmouth and Virginia to the
South.
The Southern Railway is a great
system. Knowing this and realizing
the Importance of having that road
in Norfolk, this paper raised it's voice
in its behalf when, through Col. A. B.
Andrews, it was an applicant for
certain concessions. The city has
never regretted, but has always look
ed with qualification, pride and pleas
ure upon the day that the Southern
made its deep water terminus in
Norfolk.
Mr.. Williams now comes with his
perfected scheme, and brings another
big trunk line. The two great lines
will guarantee proper railroad facili-
ties for this port. This harbor is too
big a city for one great line. The
city's interest demands as many rail-
roads as possible. The coming of the
Southern here, as was predicted by
Col. Andrews, marked new era in
the city; the new Seaboard Syndicate,
it is believed, will do as much.
Another matter of equal Importance
was decided at the same time. Hon.
Charles L. Bland, member of the Leg
islature from Portsmouth, received
from Mr.. Williams his personal as
surance that the S. A. l.. shops should
not be moved from Portsmouth. This
was commendable step in Mr.. Bland,
and an assurance appreciated by the
people.
We welcome the new Seaboard Air
Line System. Norfolk Virginian and
Pilot.

tomac, on the morning of Septem Der
goth, Lieut.. Burgwyn and | were call
ing upon some officers of the regi-
ment and when returning to our
company Orderly Sergeant Campbell
informed lis Gen. Robert Ransom had
called upon me and left an order for
private Hood to report to him. Soon
thereafter we resumed our march to-
wards Martinsburg, Va. l saw moth
ing more of Hood until late in the
afternoon when Gen. Robert Ransom
was passing our regiment at gallop,
Hood following him, mounted on one
OF Gen. Ransom's horses, with spurs
on his bare feet. He lifted his old
greasy cap and saluted as he passed
He remained with Gen. Ransom as
courier until Col. Matt w. Ransom
was promoted Brigadier-General,
with whom he remained until killed
at Fort Steadman, March 25th, 1865.
He was buried on the field, clothed in
one Of Gen. Ransom's uniforms.
Both of the Generals Ransom were
very much attached to Hood and every
time Gen. Matt was wounded Hood
accompanied him to the hospital and
to his home and remained with him
until able to return to his command.
He was handsome boy, only 16
years old when enlisted; black eyes,
long black hair, fair skin, indeed
noble type of a Southern lad. He
wrote a beautiful hand and the writer
often had him detailed to assist in
making out reports, pay-rolls, etc.
He was a son of A. |. Hood, of Clear
Creek township, Mecklenburg county,
who moved to Tyler, Texas, soon
after the war.
