GILES COUNTY.
And How It Derives It's Name-A..
Correction. sss

Correction. EYE
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In an article by the statistician of the
United States Geological Survey, the Dis
patch sometime ago printed an interest
ing summary OF the derivation of names
in Virginia. There were, however, nuH-
her Of errors in the list, some Of them
rather amusing. Many of these have
been corrected, but though a correspond
ent wrote the Dispatch pointing Out some
of these, he repeated one made by the
government statistician. The county Of
Giles. lit is stated, is named for ex-Gov-
ernor William 3. Giles. Is not this an
error? While I have not the references
at hand with which to Substantial my
recollection on this point, my impression
has always been that Giles and Bland
counties, which adjoin. were named for
the same man, Giles Bland. one of Ra-
cons adherents of 1876, and who was ex-
ecuted by Sir William Berkeley, the royal
Governor of the colony. William b. Giles
was Senator, and afterwards Governor
and died early in the nineteenth century,
vet the county was named not for MIN,
but, with it's contiguous county. for one
Of the heroes of the first fight for civil
liberty in this country. In the same way
the adjoining counties of Henry and Pat
rick were named for Patrick Henry.

NEGRO CONFEDERATES,

A special in yesterdays Dispatch says
that one of the negroes who were adj
mitted to vote in Norfolk city qualified
the Confederate navy.
We presume that the registrars made
proper inquiry into the matter and salts
fed themselves as to the truth of the APP
plicants statement; but we do not re-
member ever before hearing that the Con-
federates enlisted negroes in the navy.
We Snow" however, that our cruisers
surreptitiously enlisted a large number
of men in foreign ports, and this man
may have been one of them. They were
dreadfully in need of men and could not
afford to be too particular.
Negro soldiers-a few of them-were en-
listed when the Confederacy was on the
ragged edge OF desperation and dissolu-
ton. One such company we remember
to have seen drilling in the Capitol
Square here. Our impression is that it
was made up largely of servants en-
ployed in or about the Confederate mill
tary hospitals and departmental bureaus
here Ben Scott, who afterwards figured
in the colored militia here, was one of
it's officers. There was also camp of
rendezvous for colored soldiers estab-
lished at Greensboro, N. c., we be-
lieve.
The details of the service of the colored
Confederate company, of Richmond are
not fresh in our mind at this moment,
but we think that upon the evacuation of
the city by our forces it moved off with
the local defence troops and behaved
well in action between Richmond and APP
poma ttoX.

A Good suggestion.
n UUOU
(Ala.l Advertiser

(Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.)
The Richmond Dispatch has recently
had something to say about pipes, ois-
cussing the corn-cob, the clay, the row
batan and various other styles of smok-
ers, convenience with which we have no
special interest In the course OF an eal-
torial. however, it alludes ito the WOOD
and brierroot pipes and other tnlnss
made by the Confederate soldiers during
the war and adds:
We wonder what has become of all
those pipes? On some of them were carv-
:ngs that represented the labor or months
and wears. Not only the bowl, but often
the stem. and sometimes the mouthpiece,
contained elaborate carvinGs-labor done
to ..kill time and Incidentally to fend
off that terrible malady, Inconsistencies
There ought to be made a collection OF
these pipes, also, canes and finger rings,
etc., Of like workmanship, for preserva-
ton in the Jefferson Davis Museum here.
To many of this generation they would
be great curiosities; in the future they
will be looked on as rare, II not precious
relics.
We agree with the Dispatch that such
a collection would be as invaluable as 1t
would be unique. Many and wonderful
were the specimens of the carVer's art
turned out by the boys. In gray to while
away the time in camp or in the hospital
We have seen pipes made with no other
tool than a pocket-knife which were gem
timely artistic. and which would have re-
fected credit on scientific carver OF
wood Time was no object with them.
In fact. one Of the objects they had In
view was to kill time.
But pipe-maling was only one of the
accomplishments Of the Confederate SOL
der If he could get hold of piece of
gutta percha, hard rubber, or even horn,
if nothing better was to be had, and could
compass a five or ten-cent piece of silver
he would turn out rings, breastpins and
other trinlets which were either sold or
were sent to the loved ones at home,
where they were treasured as the finest
of jewelry would not now be treasured.
All Of these things have disappeared
from view, but we suspect that many of
them are lying away among other me-
mentoes Of those fearsome, but glorious
days. and that quite a collection of them
could be made in each State as suggested
in the Dispatch.

pnEs1pEST,s pTFonTs FAIL.

Tho Dispatch had hoped to be able to
say this morning that President Roose-
zvelt's efforts to settle the great anthra-
cite coal strike had been succe ssful. y II
fortunately, however, we have to an
nounce the contrary. The conference held
IN washington yesterday did nothing,
the operators. we arc told, refusing 70
consider any proposition emanatins from
John Mitchell, the president OF the
United Niine-Workers, or treat IN any
way with that organization as an organl-
cation. 1t would appear from advices
available at this writing, that the ope-
rators RESPONDED to the Presidents In
yitation simply in a spirit of courtesy 70
him. They went to Washington with
their minds made up to adhere to the
policy they had pursued from the start.
None the less, the President deserves
great credit for endeavoring to bring the
conflicting parties together, and relieve
the situation, and it should be freely ac-
corded him the country over. What the
next step will be we cannot say, but the
American people will now more than ever
look to Pennsylvania to act, and act
summarily, if necessary.

COURT IGNORED CRITICISM.
An A1exandria Pnperys Fierce-At-

| An AIexandria Pnperys Fierce-At-
tack on n Circuit Judge and Jury.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, October 3.-(spe-
cial)-When the Circuit Court for this
city, Judge Charles e. Nicol presiding.
opened this morning, the attention OF the
court was called to an article which ap-
peared yesterday afternoon in the local
columns OF the Alexandria Times, Sc
vereIy criticising the action of the jury
yesterday for not rendering verdict for
the plaintiff in the case of George F..
Sutton against J. w. Hammond & Sons,
| which was suit for $4,000 damages for
alleged personal injuries received while
the plaintiff was in the employ of the de
| PENDANT.
According to the verdict Of the jury
and the judgment Of the court, Sutton
got nothing. and was required to pay
, the cost of the litigation. The article re-
ferred to was headed Unsatisfactory
Verdict" and went on to severely arraign
the members of the jury for not awarding
Sutton damages. 1t also reflected upon
the decision of the court. It was al
legged in the article that there were
several manufacturers on the jury. and
that this fact Influenced their vote in
| favor Of Hammond & Son, who are local
manufacturers.
Mr.. James r. Cation, who had repre-
scented Sutton, read the article to the
court and explained that it was entirely
repudiated by himself and associate coun-
! sci: He deplored what he characterized
as an unwarranted reflection on the integ-
rity Of the court and jury. Judge Nicol
stated that he had been shown the adj
verse comments in the Times before COM
| ing into court this morning. He said
that at first he had intended to issue
a rule against the paper for contempt,
but that on reflection he had decided not
to take up the time of his court with the
matter.
