THE BELLS OF MANDALAY.
IT Is an Old Custom for Them to Ring
Each Day at the Setting -
of the Sun.

Mandalay has it's own sky, soft and
gray and incurying like tent with
white cloudlines that seem meant for
scrolls if one could read. tits the very
sacred city, the city of contemplation,
the city of all the monks, says Scrib-
ner's Magazine. A thousand pagoda
bells give tongue to the wind there
when the sun goes down; crumbling
thousand more give up to time the tes-
timony of outworn things.
1t lies in a curved arm of blue hills,
and something broods over it with
solicitude. This you suspect from the,
air of the place and the way the shrill
talk of the parrots and the complaint
of the goats and the laughter of the
people come to you wherever you are
sitting. Afterward you go out, as
did that morning with the commits
sioner, and see under the very zenith
where the low gray sky is caught up,
the square of the dark-red crenelated
walls of the old royal city three miles
each way, and outside the walls the
parallel clear moat blinking back at
the sky; and then you are sure that
over and above the government of In
dia some spirit is in possession here,
some spirit that bends in affection over
finished and forgotten things.
Seven-roofed kiosks stand at inter-
walls over the gates in the wall-they
are called pyathat, but they strike the
eye like peaceful conclusions-andl low
white stone bridges raised in the mid
die span the moat. The buttresses Of
the gates are painted deep gray and
white, and the bank that slants steep
ly from the wall to the water has here
and there a low, twisted, spreading
tree on it, purely for decoration. You
may stop at corner and look two
ways along the rejecting water with
bridge after bridge receding across,
and each red and gray and white vista
so picked out and finished under the
quiet light, slipping adorably into the
near blue of the hills.
Mandalay seemed aware with bunt-
ing that day, flags and arches Of well
come everywhere and crowds focking
aware and almost awake; but you
looked again and saw that she only |
turned in her sleep and smiled as at
dream.

AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.

In another column We publish an edto
rial, 1.-THE farmers Chance" which re
Gently appeared in the Richmond Times
1t is a graphic but true picture of tn,
splendid conditions that are now prevail
ing, and which the Times urges the farm
b ers of Virginia to utilize. What the Times
says to the Virginia farmers applies with
equal force to theSgricultursts in all sec
tons of the Union. They have never
done as well as they are now doing, and
should not only be contented but should
give all their influence for continuing this
wonderful era of prosperity.
When the farmers are prosperous and
happy we find all classes and conditions OF
the people prosperous. 1t has long been
a recognized truth, that all prosperity in
this country is based upon the prosperity
of the agricultural interests.
Our Democratic contemporary the Rich.
mond Times, does not hesitate to express
its profound qualification at the splendid
conditions now existing in the business
circles of the country. 1t never has any
sympathy for the calamity howlers, but
continues to give its support to the pot.
ical party that has been the breeder of
disaster and the parent Of all calamity
shriekers. 1t jumps on those who com.
plain about conditions, but unites with
them in advocating tariff policy that
would, if adopted, not only destroy the
present era of prosperity, but bring about
the same disastrous conditions that fol.
lowed the adoption of Democratic tariff
policy in 1893.
We all remember what became Of the
business Interests OF the country as soon
as the tariff. for-revenue Wilson bill be-
came law. Remembering this, we cam
not see upon what grounds the Times and
other intelligent, honest Democratic jour.
mails can appeal to the farmers and ask
them to unite in movement to put free
trade or tariti-forrevenue again into oper-
alton. 1t is unreasonable, it is senseless,
to expect to win their support for such a
folly.
AS the years progress it may be necessa-
ny to reform our tariff laws, but never on
the free trade lines of the Democracy.
The "protection" idea of the Republican
party is as true as is its ''sound money"
idea. Both Of these have come to stay.
They are the creators and preserves Of
the prosperity which Democrats want as
much as do Republicans.

The Farmers Chance.

Richmond Times Dem.
No man is in better position to take
advantage of and profit by this era ofpros-
perity than the farmer, the Virginia far
mer, we may say.
We hear a great deal about the high
prices of all the necessaries of life, and
there are those who are continually be-
wailing and bemoaning the fate of the poor
farmer who, they say, in these days oi
alleged prosperity has to pay high prices
for everything that he buys.
Let us investigate a bit and see if there
is any ground for this complaint. What
is higher than it was five years ago? Let
strictly business housewife who has been
asked this question answer. She says that
she is paying higher prices for bacon, lard,
beef, mutton, chickens, eggs, butter, meal,
flour, potatoes, and all kinds of vegetables.
Anything else? No. Sugar, coffee, SALT
pepper, spices and tea, since the war tariff
was taken off, are selling as they did five
years ago, some of them, sugar for IN
stance, being little cheaper.
This lady was questioned further and
| from her it was learned that there had
been no material advance in dry goods,
furniture, household goods, ETC., and we
all know that we can buy clothing, hats,
boots and shoes even cheaper than we did
FIVE or six years ago.
Everything that is high the Virginia
farmer can raise for himself and have a
surplus to sell if he will do it, and every
thing that he must of necessity buy from
the storeis as cheap as it ever was and'in
many instances great deal cheaper. The
simple fact is that the man who owns a
good farm, has energy, perseverance and
a little common, everyday business sense,
is in better condition to reap the benefits
of the era of prosperity than is the
mechanic, the laborer or the town bust
ness man.
To do this, however, he must raise his
own hog and hominy and sell the surplus,
if be, has any. and then his money crop,
be it tobacco, cotton. peanuts, fruit, or
what nof;>yill be all profit.
If, howeveF, he will persstIn putting all
of his eggs in one basket by raising the
money crop only and then buying from
the merchants the necessities of life which
are higher, he will get none of the blessings
of prosperity and will Of course have TO cry
hard times. Truly, this is the farmers
day, and if he will not take advantage Of
it, be has no one except himself to blame.

For Congress, Ninth Virginia District
COL. CAMPBELL SLEMP,
of Big Stone Gap.
A CONTEMPLATE TRICK.

We we're told when W. F. Rhea spoke
at Tazewell two weeks ago that he had
referred to Col. Slemp in pleasant terms,
and had stated that he could say no harm
of him. as lie had been his friend and sup
porter in both of the races against General
Walker. We know, of course, that Rhea s
purpose in making such statement was
to iniure COL Slemp With General Wal
ker's friends, and such statement III true,
was web calculated to have such an enect'
fit had been true, however, no man with
the proper instincts would have tried TO
use it as did Rhea No true man would try
to iniure his political competitor by the use
of the friendly support of that competitor
in the past. But no one need be surpris'
ed at anything Rhea does or says. lie
has been the beneficiary, ii not the author,
of the most outrageous fraudulent devices
ever used at the ballot box; has rewarded
the attempted assassination of a brave
political foe by making the would be as
sassin his confidential secretary; and has
for his manager IN the present campaign a
man whose record is bleared and blot'ed
with every conceivable crime against an
honest ballot.
We are authorized by Colonel Slemp to
deny the truthfulness Of Mr.. Rhea's in
timation or iusinuation that ne (Slemp)
ssfported Rhtea in eiths of his campaigns
against General Walker. We publish
elsewhere an account of Colonel Slemp's
speech at Wise, where he gave true ac
count of his connection with the four cam
paigns in which General Walker was a
candidate. We know Colonel Slemp gave
Walker his cordial and effective support in
the campaigns of 1894, 1896 and 1900
The trouble that prevented Colonel Slemp
from voting in 1898 was fully overcome In
1900 and he was placed in nomination al
Abingdon before the Republican conven
ton by Waller S. Poage the nephew and
law.partner of General Walker. In fact
Mr.. Poage occupied almost the position Of
son to General Walker.
Rhea has used dirty trick for prejudic
ing General Walkers friends against Col,
onel Siemp. THIS is one of bis character
islic lerfornanoes; and, being exposed, 1t
ought to cause the hot resentment Of Gen.
eial Walkers friends in Tazewell county
and throughout the Ninth Congressional
Dshict.

The act ofthe Constitutional Convention
which relieved registrars from taking an
oath of office was little, criminal trick
and disgrace to the men who gave it
their sanction. 1t was an invitation to
registrars to, cheat and rob men of their
right of suffrage; and to every such dis
honest act on the part of the registrars the
men who framed and advocated that ordi-
nance are accessories before tile fact, and
equally as guilty as the dishonest registrar.
