Dcc1ination of IL. ST. g. Tucker
to Become a Congressional
Candidate.

The following letter Of declina-
ton to be u candidate for Con-
gress from the 10th district, was
given to the press Wednesday
morning:
LEXINGTON, VA, May 6, 1902.
To the People of the 10th Congress
sional District of Virginia :
The large number of letters
and communications which | have
recently received from friends IN
the district, urging me to become
a candidate for Congress in the
primary election to be held on the
5th of July calls for some acknowl-
edgment on my part of the cour-
esy and kindly feeling exhibited
by them. [ have been greatly touch
ed by the sentiments of friendship
exhibited in these communications
from my old friends in the district,
and in perfect candor,wi which |
have always sought to deal with
you, | can say | have not been IN
sensible to your requests MOI averso
to responding favorably to them
Indeed,I had hoped until late yes
terday evening that certain obliga-
tons demanding my time, which
were binding upon me, could be so
adjusted consistent with their
proper discharge that | would be
enabled to enter the race. This L
found at the last moment was
impossible, and | therefore am
co mpelled reluctantly to decline
to enter the primary and become
a candidate for your sufrages.
Going back to the bar the LIST of
July, and freed from the exactions
which the work of a professor
necessarily entails, [ hope in the
future to take an active interest III
the affairs of the old district,
happily not yet dismembered. At
this time, when we have a reason
able hope of securing the next
House of Representatives, it seems
to me- to be the part patriotism for
us all, without regard to personal
preferences, to unite our strength
against our common enemy, there
by advancing the cause which we
all have so much at heart. | shall
hope to be with you during the can
vass, an if | am denied the
privilege of s,rving you IN the
House of Representatives, | feel
that / am to be congratulated ON
the opportunity of serving you
and the people ofVirginia in Il cause
no less important of advancing the
public school interests of our State

Amendment of Postmaster.
Considerable anxiety has been
manifest for the past month as to
who would secure this plum, not a
rich one, but desirable from many
points of view, as it carries with
it patronage and influence, We
allude to the LeXington's post
mastership. The first intimation
that the people had that there
would be change was the recep-
ton of telegram Tuesday evening
from State Chairman Park Agnew,
to Mr.. E. l.. Conner of Lexington,
which was rs follows:
WAsuINGroN, d, &, May 6, 1909.
f. l. Conner.
Lexington, Va.
Congratulations. McClung Pattons
nomination was made to-day.
PARK AGNEW.
1t was generally the opinion OF
Democrats that Mr.. Ackerly would
get the reappointment. 1t can be
said of Mr.. Ackerly that he has
made an efficient official.
Mr.. Patton, who will assume the
position early in June is u young
man of force and chara cter and
connected by blood with some OF
the best families of Rockbridge.
He is a son of the late Judge
James Il. Patton, of n az Fairfield.
We think he will measure up to
the standard of IN efficient, polite,
and business official.

able objects that lay in its wake,
and passed down Main street accom-

Fierce and vivid lightning, rain and
hail, were an accompaniment. The
wind rolled the tin roof Of the Bruce
House into a scroll. The awning oil

its fastenings and thrown violently
to the street, its corrugated tin
covering striking one Of the large
plate-glass windows, smashing If
into small pieces. On the opposite

similar experience. These large
glass are costly, and range from
$50 to $50 each. Pedestrians hao

Fortunately it lasted not more than
two or three minutes and in al
hour the clouds had dispersed, the
sun shore out in all its brightness,
and everything had assumed the
aspect of placid quietude of IA May
morning.

THE FIRST SLEEPING CAR.

The first sleeping car was devised
by Theodore T. Woodruff in 1854. His
first patents were for Improvement in
railroad car seats and couches," issued
Dec. 2, 1856. At that time railroad
development in America was in it's in
fancy, but the tremendous advance
which has since taken place in this,
the greatest of any one interest in this
country, has no parallel in history.
The evolution of the sleeping car from
Woodruff's primitive design to the
sleepers, for instance, composing the
Pioneer Limited trains of the Milwau-
kee road, is wonderful in the extreme.
It would certainly seem that the very
perfection of car construction, in point
of beauty, combined with substantial
comfort, had been reached when this
splendid train wa produced by that
progressive company.

AN APPRECIATION.

Rear Admiral Evans in the May
issue of McClure's Magazine says:
For comfort and luxury, the special
train on which he travelled made a
lasting impression upon the Prince
and his suite. Prince Henry said: I
have seen the best equipment on Rus
sian railroads, and they are the best
in Europe; but I have never seen OF
imagined that a train like this could
be put together"
Coming from such an authoritative
source this is indeed a compliment
especially so as two of the cars, the
Ohio and Iowa, belong to the regular
equipment of the Chicago Great West,
ern Railway.
These beautiful compartment sleep
ing cars u every night between Chi
cago, St. Paul and Minneapolis on ths
Great Western Limited" the new
sumptuous electric lighted train.

Unnecessary Suffering.

How much wretchedness and misery
there is in the world! Do you add to it
or do you try to help those with whom
you come in contact? Every time you
speak, every time you act, you add to
some ones happiness or misery. On
which side do you throw your infu-
ence? Your opportunities may not be
great, but do you ever cause unneces-
sary suffering in a world wretched
enough at best? 1t is worth thinking
about. Do you say cruel things when
you might say things that would be
kind? If you have the habit, doesn't it
sometimes occur to you that you should
quit it? The writer of this has been
thoughtless many times, but as he
grows older he tries very hard to avoid
giving unnecessary pain. - Atchison
