GREAT POTATO CROP.
AMiIlion Dollars Brought Into Northampton
Since FIRST Of June.

The most profitable patatO season the
farmers Of the Eastern Shore have ever
had is about over. The yield per acre
has been phenomenal, thereby reducing
the cost per barrel Of producing the pota-
toes very largely; together with the very
good prices obtained during almost the
entire season has given the producers a
handsome profit II is reliably yestimated
that about 100000 barrels have been
shipped from Northampton county this
season. which would probably net - -
per barrel ON an average, making nearly
round million dollars that has come
into the county since the first day Of
June. Prices are still good and the de
mand heavy, but the crop is about cleaned
up. There has been a large number OF
Western buyers during the season, which
contributed largely towards keeping the
prices up.
About one-half of the above shipments
went from Cape Charles station. The
potatoes are brought in on small boats
from the innumerabIe creeks and wharyes
along the bay, where the farmers find a
ready sale among the fifteen or twenty
brokers and dealers that operate on the

The Attitude Of the 5aptlsts.

We must express our admiration oil the
Baptists of Virginia for the high, disinter-
ested and patriotic stand they have taken
with reference to Yirginia's new Consti-
tuition. Their attitude, it seems to us, is
the correct one They oppose every SEM
blance of State and church combination.
They are ready to stand alone, without
leaning on the State, trusting to the
power of Christianity to make its way in
the hearts OF men, and distrusting all
measures looking to bolstering up Chris
tianity by legal enactment. 1t has al
ways seemed to us that it weakens the
cause of Christianity to attempt to prop
il up by law. II there is any warrant in
the teachings of Christ for such depend
ence we have failed TO find it.
We do not mean to say that other de-
nominations are not in accord on these
questions with the Baptists, but they
have not taken the aggressive stand that
the Baptists have taken, and hence thelr
real position is not so well known. -

Are Women Growing Prsttisr

An authority upon the subject declares
that English women were undoubtedly
prettier in the earlier part OF the last cen
tury than at any other time. He bases
his opinion upon the evidence afforded
by portraits.
With regard to the woman Of the fu-
ture, he says that there would be every
reason to believe that she would be pref
tier than her predecessors but for the fact
that the present competition eompels 80
many women to follow business which
play havoc with their beauty.
1t may be az well for the young man
OF the future that it does. He will doubt
less discover there are some matters re-
ouiring his serious attention, and he
might find it impossible to sufficiently
devote himself to them were he distracted
by visions of extra-distilled female lowell
ness.

anyone, but we purpose to defend our
selves against the accusation made
against the trade because few men vio-

He also favors the plan OF imposing the
