IL we believe the Bible rather than
Darwin, man is kin to the earth and
not to the monkey. Certain is it that
the flowers spring out Of the ground,
and the fruits, and the grain.
From the same source comes the coal
to cheer our homes and move our
machinery, the gold and silver for
which men are ready to sell their souls,
diamonds with which crowns are made
resplendent and with which the brow
of beauty is made to glow with new
beauty. our homes rest on mother
earth, upon it we play as children,
work and toll all our days and when
travelling days are done,v upon its
bosom we must pillow our heads. And
yet this old mother, whose bills have
been standing firm since the time
when the morning stars first sang
together, and whose meadows have
been green with grass and all aglow
with flowers, finds no more recognition
IN circles financial than does the humble
tradesman Of New York to the charm
ed circles Of the favored -four hun
dred."
We feed on its bounty and feast on
It's beauty but discredit its honesty,
and this surely is as ungratefnl as when
Inc snake strikes with its fangs of poi
son the bosom that had warmed it into
life.

SAD, SAD WORDS OF BISHOP
POTTER.

"Ihe peril Of our times is the peril of
the growth in the human heart Of the
lust of mere gain subordinating higher
ambitions, cloudiug nobler instincts,
debasing the best aud benumbing the
moral conscience of the whole commu-
nifty. As a result of it, conviction
has come to pass, which exists widely,
not only in such communities as yours
and mine, but all oyer this land, that
there does not exista man who is not
a purchaseable man.
Some truth in the above, but far
from being altogether true. There are
some men without a price" and
many who live "above suspicion"
Bad enough, but not all bad. "None
righteous" but some honestly trying
to live right

NM CnNYENTION AGAIN.

We still think The body should not
have consisted of more than go mem
bers. but a. TO members we are not
much concerned. O course it should
not be too large for efficient handling
nor so small as not TO be representative
in character. 1t looks now that there
will be more than 100, all good and
true men we trust, and sensible enough
and brave enough 20 do what is best
for the whole commonwealth. And
what are the needs of the hour? They
may be stated in two words Economy
and Protection. Spend no more mon
ey than is necessary for the efficient
running of the State machinery, and
then guard sleeplessly against the APP
proaches of all and every enemy.
Nor should parsimOny be mistaken
for economy. We must have men
enough to man the ship, and they
should be well paid. If one pilot will

and certainly there is no room for two
captains. Children should have no
voice in the management of the house
hold, and ignorance nothing to do with
the making of the laws of a State or
of any part thereof There can be no
nays to propositions like these.
And now we would urge that such
representative men be sent to the con-
vention that when their work has been
done it will have been so well done,
that it will not require revision. The
frequency Of elections is one Of the
burdens We would unload, and the
sooner the better. Surely one Couven-
ton election is enough.

EXPOSITION IN 1907.

On this subject the Richmond Dis
patch well says:
"Ihe proposition to celebrate tho

jamestown by exercises at the ancient

spousive chord, and of number of
representative men interviewed recent.
~ not one failed to commend this
striking suggestion made by the Asso-
citation for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities.
"Ihe immensely Of the undertaking
is hardly realized as yet. But that the
exposition should be on a scale Of ma
tional magnitude is laid down as a
basic proposition. The event it would
commemorate is scarcely less signlf-
cant than the landing Of Columbus. i'm.

THE ORANGE AND KEYSVLLE
RAILROAD.

The Orange and Keysville railroad is
not dead, and will not be allowed to
sleep much longer. All Farmville and
all Southside Virginia are interested i'm
It's waking hour. 1t is the missing
link necessary to the completion of the
shortest route between the North and
South, and as this is the day Of rapid
transit and when man seems deter
mined to minimize space, the shortest
way is the one most sought after and
which viii command the best price.

One Of the strange facts in human
history is that nobody prefers the
credit system and yet most men prac-
tice it. There can be but one explana-
ton, and that is that without the aid
of "credit substitutes" such as notes,
checks, |. 0. US, &c, the bottom
would drop from the business tub so
that it wouldn't hold solid ventures
much less "watered" stocks.

There are more stores in Farmville,
more goods and more trade. Just as
we would have it. If there was to be
no growth about this place it would be
a good place to go away from. Let us
have that shoe factory, and when it is
in operation we will make earnest plea
for a furniture factory, and when it is
in full blast we will urge a cotton
factory, and so on as long as we have
hand to WELD quill, or shove pen
ell. Farmville is no one horse burg,
and her people are not small Of soul or
narrow Of mind.

THIS II GOOD READING AND NOT
EXAGGERATED.

"The renaissance of Dixie is in the
air. The South as a whole is today
the least developed part Of our country,
and yet taking it all in all, mountain
and valley, shore and upland, it is in
soil the most fertile and in resources
the richest of the entire domain over
which float the stars and stripes. Ag-
riculturally it has been to the rest Of
America what Egypt is to Europe.
When the agricultural lands Of the
South are farmed as are the fields Of
Middle Europe or even of our own
Northwest they will surprise the world
with their fertility. When the miner
al resources Of the South are exploited
and utilized as are the mineral re-
sources Of Pennsylvania, or even Of the
Michigan peninsula, they will make
Continental Europe look once more to
It's tariffs. When its forests are sclen-
worked as are the Sileslan
woodlands, or even as the forests Of

scream Of the saw in many
regions now crying for rest and regen-
