Some very important elections will
be held al the approaching session OF
the Legislature. Amongst others the
judicial elections will probably create
the greatest interests. There are
eageral suoh positions to be filled.
The term Of Associate Justice Jones
will expire and successor will be
chosen to succeed him. Judge Jones
will have no opposition and will like
ly be unanimously re elected. The
following circuit judges will also have
their terms to expire at the end Of
the year: Buchanan, Benet, Watt,
Aldrich, Gage and Klugh. The first
two will not stand for reelection, and
there are many lawyers in their re-
spective circuits who would not mind
being selected. So far as known
none Of the other circuit judges will
have opposition.

The weather prophets are now
shaking hands with themselves on the
snow question. Every weather proph-
ct, who goes in for "signs," holds as
part OF his creed that fog in August
means snow in winter. The accept.
cd authorities state that there we're
nine fogs in August, so there must be
nine shows. Five are TO follow. Some
prophets claim eleven fogs. Accord.
ing to their count there will be six
more SHOWS this winter.

President Roosevelt has taken an
unique and unexpected position rcla-
tive to the decision rendered by the
Schley court of inquiry. He has re-
buked Miles for praising Schley and
has demanded the resignation of Ma
clay for villifying Schley. He evi-
dently means to end the discussion if
possible by crushing out all the dis
contented on either side. President
Roosevelt is thus early demonstrating
the fact that he has way of going at
things that is distinctively Roosevelt

Now is the time when We begin to
make New Year resolutions and 20
agree with ourselves that We will live
in 1902 for only the highest and the
best. But Of all the resolutions ever
made none will prove more helpful
and more strengthening than an uu-
breakable determination to repeat
purposely each day of the New Year
the prayer of Robert Louis Steven
SOD: The day returns and brings us
the petty round Of irritating concerns
and duties. Help US to play the
man; help US to perform them with
laughter and kind faces. Let cheer
fulness abound with industry. Bring
us to our resting beds weary and con-
tent and undishonored, and grant us
In the end the gift Of sleep. Amen"

much to many of them. Our mill
Presidents are fully alive to this fact,
and are doing everything in their
power, and as rapidly as possible, to
relieve these conditions.
The Anderson Cotton Mills are for
tunate in being able to furnish power
for their $4,000 spindle mill, and will
run night and day, having eight hour
shifts, thus giving employment to
about two.thirds Of their employees.
The Orr Cotton Mills were solely de-
pendent on the electric power, but the
President has telegraphed for one
thousand horse power engine and will
start the mill just as soon as this en-
gine can be received and placed.
Wherever the mill operatives can be
used they will be given employment,
and everything done for them which
could reasor ably be expected.
Shortly after the breaking of the
dam at Portman-thc people being
naturally inclined to the opinion that
the dam had not been properly con-
structed-it was rumorcd that the
Electric Water, Ligh. and Power Co.
had reserved s30, 900 of the contract
price until the work was accepted; :;
that the work had not been accepted i,
and that the contractors had instituted
suit against the company to recover
this unpaid amount. This rumor was
Investigated and the following found
to be the facts: BY contract 1000
of the construction price was to be re-
tanned until the work was accepted; !;
that because Of minor defects the
work had not been accepted, and that
the contractors had really fled me.
chanics lien to recover the $4,000.
The conditions at the dam Sunday
afternoon shows perhaps the greatest
food ever known on Seneca River. At
8 o'clock the water was running Eve
feet deep over the waste-weir. In two
hours it rose three feet higher, and
continued to rise, running within fif-
teen inches Of the bulk-head. Trees,
logs and all kinds of debris were rush
ing madly over the dam, and at II
o'clock the crash came.
In the power house we're three young
men-J. W. Todd, z. K. Glonn =ad
D. F. Goggins. The machinery was
in charge of Goggius. When the
break came and the roaring, Kissing,
crashing noise told what had happen
ed, Todd and Glenn rushed for the
door and escaped. Goggins stopped
just long enough to turn off the electric
current, but in chat moment the water
filled the power house to depth of
thirteen feet, and Goggins found
himself battling in inky darkness
against watery grave, which seemed
almost inevitable. Rising to the top
and catching glimpse ofa window,
he swan to it and through it and on
with the rushing current, landing
safely some distance below.
Earle's Bridge, three miles below
the dam, was swept awsy. This was o
steel bridge, supported in the middle
By two rock pillars. These pillars
were also swept away, which gives
some idea Of the terrible. force OF the
waters.

The cyclorama of the Second Battle
OF Manassas was opened to the public
at tho Exposition on the 21st inst.
Seven hundred distinguished people
were invited, including the city off
cials and the management OF the
Exposition. None were prepared for
the great treat that was awaiting them.
The guests were conducted through a
long tunnel to the center Of the enor-
NOUS building, and from an elevated
platform spectacle was presented
that was stirring in the extreme.
Fifty thousand veterans of illustrious
Lee and Jackson's armies were seen
rushing into deadly combat with
Popes entire army. The illusion in
this cyclolama is surprisingly perfect.
The foreground blends into the scenic

Manassas and Bull Run. You are
pleased with the artistic beauty, and
