about to get into another controversy or
difficulty over the coal.tipple at Poca.
hontas which created go much strife and
litigation in the year 1899. 1t will be re-
membered that The Southwest Virginia
Improvement Company undertook to tear
down the tippe which Col. Browning was
using, the tipple being situated on the
land of the Improvement Company.
The effort to remove the tipple came
very near resulting in conflict between
the employees of the parties. Afterwards
injunction proceedings were employed
and the matter was holly contested in the
courts, but finally settled by some kind Of
compromise, by which Col. Browning
was allowed TO continue to use the tipple,
which he has done up to this time.
We understand that the Southwest Viz.
ginia Improvement Company has served
notice on the Brownings to remove the
tipple, and has given them until next
Tuesday to effect the removal. The
Brownings, We are informed, have taken
no steps for tearing down and removing
the tipple, and will not do 80.
1t is possible that holly contested case
will find lite way into the courts, and that
it will this time be fought 10 finish.

AS humorist and orator DR.. Hall is very
fine. His subject "The Fool Killer" was
treated more seriously than persons had
expected. The lecture lasted one hour

grew weary. A speaker to hold the atten.

A STREAM OF GOLD!!
Cutting Into II.

Some of the leading men of Virginia
and the South, as they stood by and
watched the stream of gold flowing from
our Sunny Southland into the laps of our
RIVALS for commercial supremacy at the
North, East and West, believed it to be a
patriotic duty to cut into it by organizing
the great South Atlantic Life Insurance
Company, of Richmond, Va.
These men have been astonished at
the generous patronage accorded this great
and worthy enterprise. Why not keep
your money at home, to build up the
waste places, instead of sending it away
when you can secure life policy at no
higher premium, receive equal protection
and as large dividends as you can any
where on earth? These three things are
promised you by this old line Southern
Company.

GAGE SHOULD BE ALERT.

American Financial Emperor Nor

Mr.. Morgan was shrewd in selecting
the eve of triple stock exchange holi-

Brief as was the old cats absence,
however, the Wall Street mice found
time to play and make great ravages in

Mr.. Morgan probably feels like berat-
ing his lieutenant, Secretary Gage, for
not at once stepping into the breach
with the treasury millions and stop
ping the break by easing up the call
loan rates. Secretary Gage must be
more alert in looking after the inter

to hold his job. If the bears are allow

The Cider Cure for Smallpox.

San Francisco Chronicle.
PHOENIX, March 26.-Arizona ply
sicians have just completed exhaustive
tests and found very satisfactory re-
suits from the use of apple cider as a
preventive and cure for smallpox.
The past winter, an unusually severe
one in the southwest, has seen wide
spread epidemic of smallpox in the ex-
IRENE southern part of Arizona and
northern Mexico Six weeks ago an
attendant at the pest house in Jerome
discovered by accident that the use of
pure apple cider was helping his pa
tients, one of them having received a
quantity from the east and distributed
it among his fellow sufferers. Drs.
Wood and Kaull made tests with cider
on other patients and found most graft
flying results. A pint each day, in
doses each hour, drove away the erup-
ton in from five to fifteen days and
ten patients were entirely cured and
discharged within a month. Other
tests were made among the Mexican
residents along the international line,
where there were cases of more VIC
lent nature. In every instance where
pure cider was used cures were effected,
and fifty barrels more of the apple
juice have been ordered from Illinois

The Ohio Rapid Transit Company,

some benefit, as it is well known that

INTOLERANCE IN AMERICA.

1t is an exhibition of great forbearance
and rare clemency that Sixto Lopez Is
and loudly proclaim that the Filpinos VIII
never give up, Notwithstanding Aguinal-
dos surrender. What other nation unoer
the sun would permit it?-Intelligencef.
Probably none. in the United States
alone are real liberty and free speech
to be found. And it is evident from
our neighbours bitter tone that these
blessings of free government do not
exist with its consent or approval. In
fact, if the Intelligencer and its party
leaders and contemporaries who think
as it does, had their way, free speech
in America would be given short shrift
the Southern States would remain I'M
forgiven and would occupy the position
of conquered dependencies, while in
place of our free institutions and con-
stitutional liberty would be found the
most illiberal and tyrannous rule in the
world
Such is the intolerant, bigotted and
narrow minded spirit actuating such
partisans as the Intelligencer.
The recent Punishment of Editor
Rice in Manila and the suppression of
the Havan newspaper, La Discussion,
are acts after our neighbours own heart
and meet it's delighted approval, as
would, probably, the hanging of Agui-
naldo and every other Filipino, who
dared to fight for his country's liber-
ty.
This criticism may sound harsh, but
its absolute truth is undeniable, as is
amply verified in the habitual attitude
on these subjects of the organ itself
The question is, are such as the Intel
ligencer in the majority in the Repub-
lican party? Let us hope not. We
trust that no political party-especia
the ruling one-in these United States
is so dominated.
