What do all the boasts Of the Virginia
Democracy with regard to a new leader
ship amount 10? They still have the
Walton election law and Taylor Ellyson
at the helm. These last two are the great
elements OF strength Of the Democracy.
The new leadership looks TO the Walton
law and Ellyson to save them from de-
feat
We see an utter lack Of integrity on
the part OF the Virginia Democracy as
furnished by its convention, from the fact
that the very man who wrote the pledge
OF 1900 was made permanent chairman
OF convention in 1901 and in the course
OF his remarks before taking the chair
appealed To the convention not TO take
any action upon the suffrage question.
lie said: Il do not desire that this con-
yention, in its declarations, shall say one
word calculated TO hamper the work OF
that body Of brainy and experienced
yirginians assembled at Richmond The
constitutional convention should be left
free"
And now the friends Of Mr. Jefiries are
complaining that he was defeated Of the
nomination for Attorney General by a
fraudulent and unjust ruling which de-
uriyed him of 40 votes The ruling Was
made by the Credentials Committee in
connection with contest over the delega-
tion from Nelson county During the
conduct Of the contest it was developed
that there was a Montague Willard
Anderson combination So much for the
honesty OF the refOrmers

The Virginia Democracy

The New York Sun undertakes to poke
fun at the Virginia Democrats for the
platform adopted at the Norfolk Con
vention. saying that they were very par
ticular to recognize the great Importance
of the fish and oyster industry OF the
State. but that of the great Importance
of a sound currency, OF the Philippines
Of any national question whatsoever
the Virginia Democrats have nothing 20
say. "The Democratic party doesn t
know what to think yet" adds the sun
"and will take its opinions meekly from
the next Democratic National Convention
when the time comes
The Democratic platform cannot be
denominated "a great state paper, but
the Virginia Democrats have shown
their good sense in con6ning their plat
form to State issues and leaving national
questions alone for the time. 1t il far
more important to Virginia just now to
deyelope her oyster industry and other
industries, to get good roads, aud other
internal Improvements, than it is to
meddle with Philippine affairs.

A MAMMOTH BEAR KILLED.
1t Had Been Great Destroyer of stock in
Southwest Virginia.

"Old Kettlefoot, a mammoth bear
that wrought great havoc amongcattle,

With five well directed shots from a
heavy repeating rifle "Old Kettlefoot

Why schlsy Objects to Howison.

When the news of the battle Of San
tiago arrived, Admiral Howison said,
according to a Boston newspaper of that
time, that the credit for the victory was
Simpsons. He was quoted as adding:
Schley il not respected as Sampson is.
Sampson is a brave, cool, intelligent Off
Ger. Schley had the reputation OF being
nervous and hot-headed in the Naval
Academy. and he does not stand high in
the estimation OF naval officers as Samp-
son does. Ct the two men Sampson is
respected far more.

never forget the aid given them in
their battle for liberty by the brave
and unselfsh Pulaski. Unreasoning
and unthinking indeed are those who
would charge responsibility for the at

Charged With nurder.

Yesterday Deputies Martin and
Powers arrested b. ID. Starr about
three miles southwest of Glenn,
charging him with the murder of
w. Ii. Forbes, the section fore
man at Wynnewood.
1t will be remembered that a few
days ago the ARDMoREITE pub
lished an article about Forbes get
ting hurt by falling from a hand
car on account of an obstruction
on the track, and was very ser.
iously hurt. Mr. Forbes has since
died from the effects of his in
juries.
AT the time, it was reported that
negro had placed the bolt or
obstruction on the tra.k hut it de-
velops that b. ID. Starr, a white
man, was the perpetrator of the
deed, at least be is so charged,
and hence his arrest and incarcera-
tion.
