THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

Arthur Pue German has again
stepped into the political arena in
Maryland, and will again contest for
senatorial honors. Mr.. German, as
he now is, has done much for the
State of Maryland and reflected great
credit both Intellectually and every
other way on her citizens.
The anti-machine men, as they
style themselves, combined with the
Republicans and turned German
down and the State of Maryland has
been drinking the bitter cup ever
since.
Virginia we sometimes think is
fast drifting in the wake of anti
German tactics, and the hungry
wolves with Republican coalition,
are moving Heaven and earth to get
at the crib.
We have arrived at the porting of
the ways-where it will lead us it is
hard to tell. As Democrat we
hope that no disintegration will take
place, but when men advocating
Montague take off their hats on the
Court House green and sing out
"This way freemen," We are made to
pause and reflect and revert to a lit
tie ancient political history in the
State Of Virginia when the "Big
-Four" sang that same song.
We do not wear any mans collar,
but we admit if to be an advocate of
Mr.. Montague because some other
people are, is to be a sfreeman" then
we are not free, but money cannot
buy us nor position either.-Cape

SOME TAX COMPARISONS.

fredericksburg Free Lance.)
The fact has been brought out
and by an up country member, we
believe-that vast portion of the
mineral lands of the State are assessed
atnot more than $3.50 per acre. This
means about one-and-a-half to two
cents In taxes, county and State, that
such land pays, In defence of this
evident poor showing some members
say it is because the assessor does not
do his duty, while Others say that the
land is really worth no more than
this and that the output should not
be taxed any more so than farmers
crop which is the result of his labor.
Let us look at the point q moment.
AS virgin mountain forest presuma-
bly, the land was bought for dollar
or two an acre. The discovery of
mineral rapidly advances its price,
whether any labor be expended in it's
discovery or not. The holder would
demand fifty, hundred or maybe a
thousand dollars for it under its new
development, even though pick had
not been stuck in it. 1t now has o
commercial value far exceeding it's
original appraisement, just as the
farm which has suddenly been drawn
within the limits of new and BOOM
ing town. The commercial value is
there, but the taxable value remains
as of old! This, too, without develop
ment or labor being expended. If
operated upon an industry is created
and, under our not altogether just
laws, becomes subject of taxation
possibly of double taxation. Yet,
according to statements made on the
Constitutional Convention floor, it
retains its original taxable value.
We do not think it wise to be con
tinually drawing comparisons be-
tween the up-country industries and
the Tidewater pursuits in their bear

was ample for them in their politi-
cal sphere. Years ago it mattered
little if they antagonized business
interests. Now business interests
have become large and vital to the

be unmindful of the industrial and
commercial growth of the country.
The plain, pastoral people of the
South, however, do not seem to have

MOTHERS HANDS.

Written for the CITIzEN.l
My mothers hands-they tell of care
That only love knows how TO bear,
Cares that mothers lot befall,
Her life they noblest make of all.
There precious to my heart keep
Her trembling hands of wrinkles deep,
Now thin from age and toll aud care
Yet still her hands seem to me fair.
These hands knew not a task undone
That childhood joys would bring begun;
No childish troubled tears we cried
But that her hands fain would have
dried.
No other hands can these replace
In humble home or castle place.
OF willing hands so true, SO kind,
Alone these are of human kind.
Some day these hands will lie al rest,
And then kiss, the last, the best,
I'll sadly place upon them there
My mothers hands that once were fair.

a glass in his work, can read the
letters with the naked eye, and, al
though there are few persons whose
eyesight is SO strong, common mag
nifying glass serves to make them
easily distinguishable. The letters

MAJOR BELLE REYNOLDS

The only woman who won the com.
mission of major by reason of services
rendered at the battle of Shiloh during
the Civil War was Belle Reynolds.
When the soldiers were sent to the Phil,
ippines during the Spanish-American
War she enlisted in the Red Cross Ser
vice, and in her spare time undertook
school-teaohing. Major Reynolds has
collected several dainty and beautiful
pieces OF Philippine embroidery and
drawn work, showing the extra
ordinary results secured by the Phil
ippine women who have so much
time to spare for their one accomplish
ment-needlework. Illustrations of this
needlework appear in the August num-
ber of The Delineator. Those of our
readers who are interested in unusually
fine work should not fail to look at the

order to get at equable and fair bases
for legislation it is often necessary.
The foregoing deductions have been
warranted by evidence before the
great body now sitting in Richmond;
therefore We feel at liberty to use
them. There has been a steady cry
from our people in the western part
of the. State that Tidewater has a
'gold-mine" in her fish and oysters,
and the cry has become political
one and is frequently used to advance
the fortunes of this or that candi-
date until the shibboleth of politi-
clans has borne semblance of truth
to the average voter there. The peo-
pie of Tidewater know we'll the in
justice that has been wrought by it
and the futility with which such
errors have usually been combatted.
The State owns certain water bottoms
which itleases to citizens of Virginia
at 81 per acre per year for period of
twenty years or less. All inspectors
charges, surveying and recording are
borne by the individual. The State,
therefore, receives taxes from water
rights upon what is equivalent to
S2a0 per acre at 40c. per 500 taxable
values. In other words-did it belong
to the individual hlsswater privilege
would be assessed at $10O per acre
for State and county taxes to net the
tax as now paid. In comparison
with the mineral lands the injustice
is boldly apparent But even in Tide
water there is no equalization of this
taxation. Figuring upon this basis
some water lands are worth $500 per
acre while others are not worth S5,
and some worth nothing at all-all
because of the grade of adaptability
to propagating oysters. Yet all are
assessed alike at 81, if taken up.
But of far greater import to the
State is an item that is generally lost
sight of i'll arguments on the relative
rights and burdens of the two Sec
tions under consideration. This is
~
the material development ashore
which is the outgrowth of the water

ments; lands that were nothing but
morass, the home of the sea- gull and
the Fiddler" have been reclaimed
and are now variously valued at from
$lO to $500 per acre because of i'm
provements; immense fish and oyster
plants, operating night and day III
season, and giving employment to
numerous thousands who are chiefly
the ones that have reclaimed these
utterly va'ueless wastes, These in
dustrial developments are all added
to the property values of the State
and pay heavy tax for the privilege
of simply existing. Nothing is done
in return for these old pioneers that
is rot done for those who fall heir
to natural wealth that may or NAV
not need developing.
These observations arc meagre, and
would admit of larger discussion, but
they are no doubt in the hands and
minds OF able men in our Convent ton,
so we may expect, as well as hope, to |
see the subject properly agitated.
Tidewater has nothing to lose if her
interests are represented with the
ability that We believe is hers.

EAGLE ATTACKS BOY

William Holland, a young lad en-
ployed by Oliver Newton, half mile
from Bridgeville, was badly hurt on Sat
urdaY by an eagle.
Holland was at an old berry shanty
repairing some crates with hatchet,
when without a momont's notice, the
hugh eagle alighted upon him. One
talon struck the boy about the neck while
the other penetrated his shoulder. He
was spellbound for a moment, then a
fierce combat ensued. Recognizing his
position, he dealt the bird stunning
blow with his hatchet, which broke its
hold and one of its legs.
Holland squeezed himself between the
boards of the open shanty after the eagle
had been knocked loose. The fierce bird
again came at him and attempted to pull
the lad from behind the boards. Find
ing it a useless task, and after keeping
him corralled for over an hour, it flew
away.
Holland was nearly froze, and bleeding
from the wounds, made his way to his
home ssiia revealed what had happened
He was badly frightened as well as
seriously lacerated.
