they feared that the episode might cause

The experiment Of colonizing a group
OF consumptiyes on high spur OF the
Blue Ridge, at White Haven. in Pennsyl-
yania, has been wonderfully successful.
They have gained in weight and strength
and have experienced a marked improve
ment in their pulmonary conditions.
The air is pure without being too cold,
and is free from an excess OF moisture at
all times. The patients are provided
with n nutritious diet in which fresh eggs
are conspicuous, but the essential.of the
treatment is an abundance Of pure air.
The patients eat six meals a day, and
sleep virtually ont Of doors. There is no
reason why any high ground in
our mountain regions should not
prove an excellent site for a sani-
tarium. Certainly the success OF the

First. that Admiral Schley never re-

not received by him until May 23; second,
that the Order No. 8, which reads Span

Communicated
Letter From a Citizen Of Caroline on
Politics.

Caroline Co., Va, Oct. %, 1901.
To The FREE LANCE:
While am no politician in the usually
accepted meaning of the word, no man
can feel a deeper concern as to the men
and measures who shall in the near future
shape by legislation the destiny OF our
State No question as to whether we
shall have free coinage of silver, or
whether our tariff shall be for revenue or
protection only, is. at issue between the
two great parties of our country. The
cry OF "nigger, except when uttered by
the ignorant or selfish, is no longer heard
in the land A higher sense Of patriotism
seems to animate both parties. The po-
litical trickster and deceiver so far from
leading, finds cold comfort, even in the
rear rank.
In no instance have these facts been
more thoroughly exemplified than when
Absalom Waller was nominated for the
State Senate by the Republicans OF spot
sylvania Stafford and Louisa counties.
This party should be congratulated on
their wisdom in choosing a leader in
whom, to a modesty almost womanly
there is united deep learning and won
derful natural ability. To a man who
loves his State, and realizes the impor-
tance of truth and honesty in him who
is to make her laws, the action OF the
Republicans of these counties in making
such man as Absalom their standard
bearer gives great comfort and assurance
for the future. II he shall be elected, and
believe he will be, with him and Other
legislators such as he, despite the fog
raised by the Constitutional Conven
tion.' the Ship OF State will be steered
safely into port. CAROLINE.
