The death of William Rollins, of
King George county, at his home,
"The Dogue," which occurred recent
ly, recalls his connection with q
tragic chapter of a tragic year, that
of 1865.
During the period of '61.'65 Mr..
Rollins was ferryman on the Rap
pahannock river. When J. Wilkes
Booth, after the assassination of
Lincoln, was fleeing from Washing
ton, he was taken across the river by
Mr.. Rollins, who afterwards gave
information concerning him, was
paid well for so doing and passed at
once from poverty to comparative
riches.
At the time of his death he was a
large landowner and successful
farmer and dealer in cattle.
He leaves a wife and six children,
his daughters being Mrs Fannie
Webster, of Maryland; Mrs Wexford
Clarke and Mrs. William (. Baker
of King George county.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

Rural free mail delivery will short.
ly, We think, be provided all over
the country. The new law prescribes
that any one along the route covered
by the carrier may provide box on
the roadside for the reception of mail
matter addressed to him. He must
file with the postmaster at the post
office to- which his mail is addressed
a request in writing for the delivery
of his mail to the carrier on the route
for deposit into the mail box provid-
ed by him on the roadway. The carrier
is required to deposit all such mail,
except registered mail matter in the
bexes provided.
No particular style or design of box
is prescribed, but it is required that
each shall be fitted with lock and
leave an opening for the mail matter.
All such mail is deposited at the risk
of the owner of the box. The carrier
is not required to collect mail matter
from these boxes, but if any mail
matter is presented to him, properly
stamped, he is required to deliver il

The official call of the "Bryap
Democrats" of Ohio has been is
sued. 1t charges that the Ohio con-
vention repudiated the last two Dem
ocratic national platforms and that
the action of the convention was the
result of conspiracy mapped out at
the headquarters in New York.
The platform concludes as fol-
lows: elf the action of this conven
tion stands unrebuked, then it must
be understood that the Democratic
party, as such, has repudiated the
principles enrolled in the Kansas
City platforms, and ratifies and ap-
proves of the course pursued by the
Republican party upon the money
question. IL the Democratic party
abandon the principles laid down in
the platforms of 1896 and 1900 then
it may as well close its political ca
reer, for there is little else of :m-
portance to fight for"

State Board Of Fisheries.

The State Board of Fisheries held
brief session in Richmond last week.
Abour 800 acres additional oyster
grounds have been added to the State
for renting purposes. Seth f.
Miller, of the Board, says that from
indications sufficient new lands will
be opened for the State by the new
survey to bring the State at least
$4,000 annually, whereas prior to
the time when the present oyster law
was adopted and the Board was APP
pointed it was costing the State not
less than $4,000 year in excess of
the amount received. The Board
decided to hold its next meeting in
Norfolk the day before the State
convention assemblies.

IN THE ADIRoNDACKs.

This part of Northern New York,
not improperly called the great will
derness, was named by the Indians
as, indeed, most all the rivers and
lakes were. 1t has been interpreted
to mean "Bark Eater" In compass
1t is nearly hundred miles square.
and extends from Lake Champlan
on the east to near the Canada line
on the north and west, approxi-
mately 10000 square miles of will
derness. In the interior there are
some old settled valleys, numerous
small clearings and border land that
is cultivated between the rocks. The
soil is light loan. chocolate color.
aid very productive when planted in
seeds that suit the climate, and
these, be 1t said, are very few.
Wheat and corn will not profltably
grow, the winters being too severe
for one and the summers too short
for the other, and fruits, particu-
larly the large, are almost unknown.
Oats grow well, and the grasses
timothy and clover-luxuriantly, ex-
cept when crowded out by the ever
present daisy. AS an agricultural
country it will never take high rank.
One of its most picturesque spots
is Wilmington Notch, through which
Ausable river pours between walls of
rock estimated to be 1000 feet high,
making this one of the most pic
turesque passes in the wilderness.
And not far distant is John Browns
farm" Ossawatomie about two
quarter sections of land. On this is
the murderer's grave and the graves
of his sons who fell at Harper's
Ferry In 80 and in g bleeding Kan
sas" In so, intent on the same MUIR
derous mission-the insurrection of
the slaves. So highly priced was the
passion repi esented by this family
of mIrderers that the State bought
the farm and made it part of Adj
rondack Park, go that the public
may now view the place where, ac-
cording to the old song
John Browns body lies a.moldering in
the grave
And his soul goes marching on"

We deem it a misfortune that
Delegate Pollard should ever have
introduced the resolution to strike
out the word "Christian" which pre-
cedes the word "forbearance" in our
Bill of Rights. = Shall We
abolish the Sunday laws also in an
over-zealous effort to demonstrate
the complete separation of church
and State? These laws evince more
an amalgamation of the two, but
who in Virginia will say that the
observance Of the Sabbath must be
done away with? Will Mr.. Pollard
or his committee put themselves
upon record on this? The New
York Herald is making crusade
for the abolition of Sunday laws in
New York, but Virginia is not ready
to declare that the Mother of States
is anxious to show to tie world that
she will rival pagan New York in
rebutting the evidence that we are a
nation Of Christians.
One, it seems to US, is but the
stepping-stone to the other.-Free

HICKS FORECASTS FOR AUGUST.

Month opens with the reactionary
storms due at the end or July still
existing. From the 3rd to 9Th the
chances are lessened for dangerous
storms. From about the 9th to the
9th look in all probability for a
very warm wave TO culminate in
thunder storms with heavy hail and
some high winds. Following these
stroms sudden aud very marked
fall of temperature. There should
certainly be an abatement of summer
heat, for a few days, between this
and the 14th.
The temperature will rise very
high in many places on the 14th,
low barometric conditions will de-
velop, and electrical, clustering
storms will break out generally, to
continue until after the 10th.
A brief relaxation from high tenn
perstures ought normally to appear
about 18th to alst, very dry weather
generally in August, but some start
ling downpours of rain and hail are
quite probable in narrow localities.
On and touching the 18th, 18th,
10th and goth, many severe summer
storms may be apprehended in vari-
GUS parts of the interior, and on the
lakes and sea coasts. This is the
midsummer storm period, and it
may be expected very likely to be
much cooler weather generally, run
ming, with occasional brief changes
to warmer, into September, which
month we believe will not be 50 ter
ribly warm as it has been the past
few years.
On and touching the oath and
25th, reactionary storm conditions
will develop, causing rise of tenn
perature, falling barometer and heavy,
clustering thunder storms in paths
progressive from west to east. The
regular Vulcan storm period is Gen.
tral on the 30th, extending from the
2Sth TO September 1st.
