BEDFORD CITY. VA, November L.
Especial. )-Wednesday night the first frost
came, silently, when ali the world was
sleeping, nipped the tender vegetation,
laid low many fine plants and flowers,
leaving them blighted and blackened by
its chill breath. But, as if repentant for
the mischief he had done the hiighting
visitor quickly departed and the weather
is again mild, bright and beautiful
Large quantities Of the new crop of to-
bacco have been brought in this week. It
is of excellent quality, and the prices
have been high enough to be very salts
factory to the planters, and will encour-
age them to patronize the home market
altogether.
Although the apple crop has not been
of average quantity or quality this sea-
son. Hon. George E. Nurrell, one of the
most progressive and successful fruit
growers of the State, has shipped thou
sand barrels.
Since the coal strike and the advanced
prices of machine coal, the woollen mill
and other manufacturing plants are using
wood in their engines with highly salts
factory results, and a less cost than the
anti-strke prices for coal. Wood in large
quantities is being brought in to market,
and the provident are purchasing and
packing it away for winter use. The pres
ent price still continues 81 per cord.
The Asbestos Mines.
This week. Hon. William C. Doak, the
president, and Hon. F. NJ. Higgins, vice
president and general manager of the
American Asbestos Company, made a
visit from their home in Terre Haute.
Ind, to the asbestos mines in Bedford.
They expressed themselves as much
pleased with the progress the miners
are making. The mineral being taken
from the mines is of fine quality and
seemingly inexhaustible in quantity, but
the work is handicapped at present by
lack OF railroad facilities for transporta-
ton. Steps are being taken, however. for
overcoming this difficulty. and the man
agement hope ere long that an electric
road will become an assured fact.

peace caused the arrest of the two
swedes, and In default o. the license
tax Of IS. ordered that they be car
ried to Jail. But just here was the rub
The sheriff declared that he would obey
orders as far as the men were concerned,
but that there was no statute providing
for Imprisonment OF bears, and that he
would not tncarcerate the beasts. Hence

John S. Preston.

Another lofty and thrilling orator Of
the South Ii that day was General John
5. Preston, of South Carolina. who was
commissioned by his State as one of the
representatives to visit Richmond and a,i-
dress the Secession Convention on the all
absorbing questions Of the hour and to
urge Virginia 10 cooperate with South
Carolina and her sister Southern States
in the establishment of an independent
government. His brother. William c.
Preston. Was regarded by the best con-
temporary critics as the greatest orator
Of America, and if he had lived in the
North, would have bcen Rufus Choate's
most formidable rival for the palm of
oratory.
A famous orator Of the ante-bellum pc
riod was Roger a. Pryor. who still sur
viTeS. He had a poetic inaG ination which
is the basis of all true orator!'. His vo-
cabulary, though ford. was superb and
often kept company with the airy crea-
lures of his exubeFant ina gination. He
rarely spoke but to evolve a beautif..
figure. and in his political campaigns for
Congress. in the now Fourth Virginia Dis
trict. he frequently scared above the com
prehension OF. his audience whose reading
was limited and whom proud science had
not taught to stray or 10 mingIe in the
brilliant literary circles OF the day. He

Pryor had the face. the figure, the dra-
