Rev. Or. Wells Tribute to a Ston ewaII
Brigade Veteran.

DIR j. M. Wells, former pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church of this
City, in the course of some remarks
made at the funeral Of Rev. Paul c..
Morton, once chaplain of the 23d Va.
Regiment of the Stonewall Brigade.
said according to the Wilmington
Messenger:
ut is for the bereaved ones alone
that we sorrow. In thinking of his
character and life there are two ele-
ments that seem especially to claim our
notice.
''First-His courage. Those who
knew him, knew the absolute fearless.
ness of the man. In those times of
war that tried mems souls, those who
knew him well. tell US that be did not
know what fear meant. Whether up.
on dangerous scout duty or later as
chaplain upon many bloody field, to
fear in the slightest seemed never to
enter his mind; and the same courage
be carried into that other warfare in
which he enlisted, under the banner of
the cross. lie was never afraid to speak
for Christ. He feared God so com
pletely, that he did not know what it
was to fear the face of man."
"Second-His unselfishness. He was
utterly unselfsh, whether in the home,
in the church courts where he met with
his brethren, in the homes of poverty
and suffering where be ministered, in
all his life and In all his service, self
was not in all his thoughts. There was
no ostentatiou, no seeking the praise
of man, no self-seeking, his was to
mlnlster in the spirit of the master. IN
loving devotion to Him and to the lost.
A beautiful Christian life has passed
from US, to be at rest.'

THE OLD GAME.

Suddenly great interest is beino
manifested over the counties of Buch.
anan and Dickenson in Southwestern
Virginia. The Seaboard Air Line.
which no matter what may be ssid of
1t, cannot be called blind, saw the
great value of that part of Virginia
which it seems the N. & W, and G. g.
y. imagined they had hid away so &c.
curely nobody had been able to find
1t. Report says the Seaboard made y
move on the railroad chess board q
short time since, and as If by magic all
the pieces of those two great systems
were interposed to shut the Seaboard
out. This is an affirmation of what
Mr.. Braxton asserted when pushing
his corporations bill before the State
convention, that the greatest enemy
to railroad building is railroads. Their
policy is now and always has been to
strike down development unless 1t
suits them Or their purposes.
This inimical policy on the part of
the N. y W. has SO Impoverished the
Southwest that today lands which
ought to be selling for $3.50 per acre
are worth only $40, $S5 or $50 per acre.
Now if the Seaboard can be kept ont |
OF that quarter these lands will remain |

1t looks now as if the Fuller syndi-
cate which got the W. Va. Central
Railway, would get the Western Mary
land, but if certain statements made
by person at the opening of the bids
last Friday be true, the W. Va. Cen
trail is badly tied up with the Penn
sylvania, in fact is bound to ship it's
coal over that road. The road, there
fore, would derive but little benefit
from the purchase, and in fact is un-
able to act independently. owing to
these unfortunate contracts. Still
Baltimore seems anxious that the w,

The senate passed the bill imposing

were but five votes in opposition. The
proceeds of the tax are to go to the
county treasury for the purpose of in

dog under such circumstances and
providing for the collection of the tax
by the usual methods of distress war

In New York,

The New York Tribune of Sunday
contains an article on southerners in
New York who have made marks fol
themselves in various trades and pro.
fessions. Among them appears that OF
Mr.. John P. East. son of the late Col,
Samuel A. East, and of Mrs. Lucy B.
East, now OF Stanton, who has risen
to the front rank in the practice OF
law. There is also a good likeness OF
Mr.. East. The Tribune makes one
statement that will surprise southern
ers, and that is there are more south.
erners in New York than In any south
ern city. This is parallel to that 9th.
or familiar fact that there are more
lrishmen in London than in all the
cities of Ireland put together.
