AN INTERESTING COUPLE.

Nathan Seeley, who was born in
Bethel October 16, 1872, is 80 years old
I to-day, Wednesday. But few days
pass in the year when Mr. Seeley is not
able to walk to the postotfice or go to
market. Most of his life has been
spent where he now resides. Mr. and
Mrs Seeley cultivate their garden and
decorate their lawn with beautiful
flowers. But few people lead a
more active life, always keeping busy.
While they have some Of the infirmi-
ties of age they keep up with the times
and are interested in the news of the
day. We cannot call them old fash
Toned or out of date. During warm
weather.they make frequent trips on
the trolley to Danbury or Lake Keno
STA, which is better than doctors
prescription. 1t makes food for the
mind and renews age and brings a
little happiness. Mr. Seeley's ances-
tors came to Bethel from Strattield in
1909. The family have been most
remarkable one in many respects.
They were a progressive family and
have been instrumental in building up
the church and town.

SAVINGS BANKS AND CORPORATIONS.

TT o annual report of the ta..k eomIn's-

shows that the total deposits in a year
have Increased se,46s,es7, and now amount
to sI@. 24S,9 900 in the ninety savings panRs
or the State. The number Of deposltora
has increased during the year from 4iV'-
$40 to 425. 5SS.
These banks represent the savings OF
the poorer classes, and the exhibit whsch
IS here made is an exhibit CT New Eng
land thrift. There is one adFah'aee
which the New Engianders have over inc
neoplc of the South. They have acquil',u
the saving habit; they have learned 10
nut aside something out of their earn
ings from time to time, and the money
so saved is capitalized, So to SPEAK oS

dustrial enterprises which give employ

which is thus saved is doubly saVeo' IL

Industrial corporations perform 'Ee

the habit Of assocating corporations WIN

,,nonr their stockholders large numbers
of people in moderate circumstances Inc
CORPORATION collects small sums Oh money
from MANY people and brings these sums
Of money together, thus creating a lui'o
large enough to carry on great 'liuuS

distinguishes civilization from baroarlsn'
and it is the height OF folly for any STATE
20 ,n+ +se1f in antagonism to industrial
corporations and banks, and institutions
whose business it is to collect that winch

and organize it and make great force
ont of many insignificant component
parts.
Everybody admits that the develop
ment of the State of Virginia during the
mast TWENTY-FIVE years has been almost
entirely through the means of corpora
tons; and yet, strangely enough, there
seems to be a sentiment OF hostility IN
this State toward "organized capital, as
it is called. The people may put them
selves in antagonism to the corporate
principle, but when they do, they antago-
nize the greatest factor in modern devel-
opment.

Delegate George Y. Hunley, before
leaving here for his home in Mathews
several days ago. announced that during
the recess Of the Legislature he would
prepare a bill to be presented in the
House when the body reconvenes in Feb
ruary providing for the electrocution OF
all prisoners in Virginia convicted OF
crimes punishable by death, instead of
the present mode of inflicting death by
hanging. He will present at the same
time a companion bill providing that all
executions shall take place at the State
penitentiary, instead of in the county or
city where the prisoner is convicted.
Mr.. Hunley. at the last session of the
Legislature, introduced a joint resolution
calling on the State Board of Health foc
its opinion as to these matters, and just
before the short session adjourned. DR..
Paulus AL Irving. the president Of the
Board, replied, giving the opinion of the
Board, which is in conformity with the

i The Atlanta Journal refers editorially

Virginia in 1907 to celebrate the James
town ter-centenary anniversary, and
says that the idea has been received with
SEreat favor by the people and the press
tpf the State. It adds:
1t IS often said that we have too many
expositions but on the whole they have
had an incalculable influence for the de-
Telopment OF the country and we doubt

None Of our States has had a more in
$eresting or romantic history than Nir-
ginia, not one has contributed more 10
the upbulding of our national characte.
Or the establishment of the American
manhood and womanhood.
An exposition Illustrating the history
of Virginia would have national interest
and Importance.
Anothe--strong reason in favor of such
an enterprise is the fact that Virginia is
entering upon new industrial career
Z that promises to benefit the State i'm
mensely and that would be helped might

We are inclined To think that the Vir.

We believe that the people Of Virginia
generally are In favor of celebrating this
Important anniversary in some public

Of us as to what sort of a celebration
this should be. Our Tidewater friends
seem to think that Richmond is trying

SENATOR DANIEL.
opnent

It is with regret that we see it reported
that Major John ". Daniel, United States
Senator, is thinking Of resigning from the
Constitutional Convention, on account
both of his health and of his duties in
Washington. Major Daniel no Doubt feels
like the Irishman who said that he could
not be in two places at once unless he was
a bird We do not expect him to attempt
the impossible. IF. however, he could so
arrange his affairs in Washington as to
keep his place in the Virginia Constitu-
tional Convention, he would crafty a
great number of his friends and admirers
It is true that the task is a difficult one
and necessarily Involves a certain neglect
Of duty in both places; but the people
who elected him knew he was Senator
when they sent him to the convention.
and they took him, as it were, cum onere
No man is more beloved in Virginia
than John Daniel. For forty years he has
never failed to respond to every call
made upon him by his State, and he
bears on his body the marks of his devo-
ton 10 leT. IN MS IoiitiSdl llIS lhS 'iiISS0
rity Of character has been beyond re-
proach or even suspicion. He has been
above the reach of lobbyists, and he never
at any time practiced that role. His
fights have always been in the open, and
wire pulling to him is an unknown art.
The only help he has ever been able to
give to his aspiring political friends in
the country has been his personal en-
enlargement and his eloquence on the
hustings. Whenever Virginia was to be
represented by an orator before the pub
lie John Daniel has, for generation,
been that man. He has delighted and in
structed the people of this Common
wealth from one end to the other, and
they have delighted to show their appre-
citation of his labors by honoring him.
We trust that the pressure of his double
duty will not impel him to resign from the
Constitutional Convention, but whatever
he does about this he may be sure of the
love and confidence Of his fellow-citizens
