Gettysburg Day.

Old soldiers of the Confederacy will
have an entertaining hour next Tues
day night if they come to the Stone
wall jackson camp room in the city
hall. The veterans will remem Der
Gettysburg day On that occasion.
Capt. james Bumgardner, commander
OF the camp, will make the principal
address. He was in that great battle
of the war and has something very
interesting to say about it. Rev. DR..
Finley, pastor of Thinking Spring
church, was also Tin the fight" and
got over the memorable stone fence.
He is also expected to give some rem
inisences, as well as Capt. J. N. Opie,
Capt. J. N. Mcfarland and Others
who were there. There will be some
suitable Rotations by Miss Nonye
Wholey and some music, and it is
hoped that the veterans of boths sides
from county and city will turn out in
force. The public. including ladies',
are especially invited. There will be
no charge.

1t is reported that an effort is being
made to discontinue the postof1ice at
Springs. We hope this is
mistake. In another column we notice
sale of that property to a strong
company, which will in a short time
make it one of the most important
points in the county, if not the State.
There are SO many persons in that
company who believe in Mckinley ar d

such an evidence of it. as an oblitera-
alton of this property from the post
Office guide occur, they would scarcely
credit their own senses. We hope they
may not be compelled to trouble the
President on this subject, nor even the
Postmaster General, but that Stribling
will remain and always be postoffice.

Railroad UP Messy Creek.

The commissioners appointed t.
assess damages to the land owner
along Messy Creek in this county, fol
the right of way of the Chesapeake
| w estern Railway, met on Saturday
last, all of them being present except
| Mr.. 8. H. McCue, who was sick. Tht
day was most inclement one, and the
various properties were not inspected
The only serious trouble which has
occurred along the line is over the
L. E Moore and DIR. Jas. T. Clark. AL
| other land owners agreed with the
| company, and any finding that was
made was simply because form re-
quired condemnation. The com.
mission was organized by Justice John
W. Hopewell sw caring in the mem
bers. The plats of the railway line
were examined, and some preliminary
features gone through with. The
commission on account of the inclem-
ent weather then adjourned to meet
on Tuesday, the 23rd, at the residence
of Mr.. j. A. Walker and complete
their investigation and make report.
MI. Joseph A. Glasgow was present
representing the land owners, and Mr..
r. E. R. Nelson represented the Rail-
road Co. There were also present MI.
E. W. Jackson, chief engineer of the
Railway, and numerous citizens of the
community and perfons owning lands
on the line. Great interest was man
Tested in the occasion as the people
generally are deeply in earnest in their
efforts to have the company build on
the Messy Creek route.
On Tuesday, according to adjourn
ment, the commissioners met and after
careful investigation assessed the
damages of the following land owners
at the following prices:
10 DR.. G. T. Robson, $50: Mrs. l.
E. Moore, 81, 900; R. A. Todd, $500; W.
B. Todd, $500; R. H. Buckner s estate,
$50; DR.. James T. Clark, 800.
The acting commissioners consisted
of W. Fl. Moorman. who was chosen
as chairman, Sam1 F. Pilson, W. H.
East and j. Blackwell Patterson. 1t
was an unusually strong body, and en-
tered upon the work with the utmost
care. Seeing the manner in which the
work was done, and the consideration
given to every detail, it would seem
that the finding ought to be satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned 1t is now
believed that the contractors will begin
work at once. AS some interest is
manifested as to the course which land
owners may take in such matters, and
whether they can now tie up the rail
way and prevent work by court pro-
ceedings, we desire to say that the law
is as follows: The railway company
NAV nav into cOurf the SIMS awarded
and on the payment may begin work,
and no court can enter an order stay
ing such work or award an Injunction
to prevent the work progressing, but
the land owner may ask for a new COM
If this is awarded him he
may receive such additional sum as
the new commission may award. But
if be is not awarded greater damages
by the second than the first commission
be pays the cost.

A DEMOCRATIC STUMBLING BLOCK.

There is q marked diversity of opin'
ion as to what the coming constltu-
tionaI convention should do. We have
the same apprehension in this matter
we have always had when too many
heretofore Democrats got together In
one body, and that is that there may
be a congestion of brains. When Con-
gress was Overwhelmingly Democratic
as it has once OF twice been in the last
forty years, there was such an abun-
dance of statesmen and such plethora
of leaders, and such a mass OF wis
dom congregated. that nothing, or
worse than nothing, was often done
All knew just exactly what was neces-
sary to remedy existing evils, but each
had different opinion as to the evil
to be remedied and each had differ
emit way Of doing it. The result was
that the Wilson Bill hung fire for
months, and was such an abortion
when 1t was born Cleveland could not
and would not own it as a Democratic
measure. Then came the demonitiza-
ton of silver, the anti coinage act, and
that was fought over for another peri
cd and at last passed, to our utter
shame and degradation. Then came
a bond issue in times of peace, think
of it. After that came disaster and
defeat, as it should have done, and all
in all things have gone to the demni-
tion bowwows SO utterly and complete
ly when too many Democratic states
men of the modern school have been
assembled and met together" that
we don't know-we kon't know
whether it is best to have so many
great men managing affairs or not,
certainly not too many of the kind
that have heretofore had the helm. if
results talk, and they ought to tell the
tale. Trusting, however, that this
body may be better than some Demo
cratic aggregations we have known OF
or could tell about, We are still hope

let it do it's worst it cannot get below
the level Of the "distinguished body"
which met and framed the constitution
under which we are now living. This
will afford the country, as well as the
new constitutional body, some graft
fication we know. We would for a
change like to see the Democrats of
Virginia harmonized on one or two
vital issues at least. and if such
spectacle awaits us, our encore will be
loud and long. Too much brains, and
wisdom, and craftsmanship, and lead
ership have been the bane of our exis-
tence. Let us plane down some of these |
protuberances, and sandpaper a few
of the too pronounced bumps, and
su bmit ourselves to some discipline
and leadership.

WHO SHOULD VOTE.

We do not favor such an educationa
test for voting as would allew judge
of election or other officer to decide
whether the person Offering to vote il
su fdeientlY qualified to exercise thai
privil ege or not. We want the votel
to decide that question himself, and
if under a reasonable law be fails to sc
mark his ballot as that it cannot under
such law be counted, then none but
himself can complain.
The following contains very nearly
our idea Of what qualifications the
voter should enjoy-and defines who
sh ould be allowed to undertake to ex.
erclse the right of suffrage.
All male persons over the age of q
years, not lunatics, idiots, inmates of
the penitentiary or jails, or who have
been convicted Of bribery in elections,
Of petit larceny or any Offense the
pen atty for which is term in the
penit entiary, and have served a term
ther Elm, and who have not been pardon
ed bee ause innocent, and who are duly
re gistered an voters under the laws of
this State, and have paid their capita
tion tax ten day prior to the day on
which the election is held, and who
have resided in this State for twelve
months and the county or city in
which they offer to vote go days prior
to the election.
The ballot shall be secret, and the
ballots prepared only by a legally con-
stituted authority.
No assistance shall be allowed to
any one except blind persons or per-
sons whose other physical infirmities
are such as that they are unable to
mark their ballots, and to such other
persons as may ask assistance, provid-
ed they are able to show that they are
the bona fide owners Of at least 5000
worth of real or personal property and
have been assessed with and paid
taxes on the same to the State for one
year just previous to the day of
election.
The legislature should be empowered |
to carry these clauses into effect by
proper laws.
Should these clauses be adopted, or
clauses similar, they would tend won
derfully to education and thrift. 1t
would become disgraceful not to be
able to vote. and If men found thew
could not learn to read and write, they
could still acquire property, and thus
save their right of suffrage.
This would not be so drastic law
as Massachusetts enjoys, and would
we believe. meet every objection urged
against negro Acknowledgement now 40 /
bitterly waged by the partisan north
I'm press, and the self constituted
friends of the black man.

StribIInq Springs Purchased.

On Monday last a sale was closed
between Mr.. III. g. Hanna, of Mt
Scion, and the Chesapeake W estern
Co. OF Stribling Spring in this county
This old and once popular resort will
soon change its appearance if reports
be true. We have had the Opportuni-
ty to talk with the representatives of
the company buying, and learn some
thing of their plans. They inform us
that it is their purpose in very short
while to enter upon thorough system
of renovation. They have had a fresh
analysis made of all the mineral waters
which abound there, and are much
pleased with the result. There has
seldom, if ever, been found in the
same close proximity such valuable
sulphur, alum and chalybeate waters.
If the CIV. Ry. is extended west from
Bridgewater it will pass within two
miles OF Stribling, and station will
be located near Dorsas, a few changes
in the public road from that point,
and an improvement at various points
will make the springs easy of access.
The company will, If their plans do
not miscarry, begin renovation of
all the present buildings, and possibly
the building of new ones, this summer.
A handsome modern hotel complete
in all its appointments, baths and
other essentials to resort of this char
acter are On the list, but the purchase
has 80 recently been made that their
plans are not fully matured, and they
are of course based somewhat on the
building of the railroad west from
Bridgewater. This is a very valuable
and has always been popular.
During the life time of the late Chesley
no resort in Virginia's noun
tains had more refined class of visi-
tors, and there are many who yet sing
its praises. 1t will be a source of
pleasure to its former habitues to
know that this property has fallen
int o hands which will beautify it and
make it the pleasure giving and health
giving resort to which it's merits en-
title it.

convincing PROOF tllat the kidneys and blad-

What to Do.
Ihere Is comfort in the knowledge 81
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilner's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
1t, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR
wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 90 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
