ALLEGED FRAUD IN SCOTT.

Against Unfair Methods.

Democrats in Mnss-NcctinE Declare
Against Unfair Methods.
GATE CITY. VA. Nov. 11.-(special.)-
1t having been alleged by the Republic
cans that the poll-books from four pre-
cincts Of Scott county were changed by
parties unknown so as to change the
vote of the county from majority OF
fifty-nne for Colonel Slemp to majority
Of ninety-seven for Judge Rhea, the
Democrats held mass-meeting here to-
day which was called to order by Dis
trict Chairman w. D. Smith, and presid-
ed over by ex-senator H. S. Kane. to
take some action in reference to the mat
ter.
Resolutions were una nimously adopted
directing the county chairman to call che
committee together at once to investigate
the charges. and if found to be true to de-
nounce the action and inform Judge Rhea
that the Democracy of Scott county will
not stand by him in a contest of an cleo
ton based upon SUCH fraudulent returns.
The people Of both parties unanimously
agree in generating the county court
clerk and all other Democrats here of
having anything to do with the alleged
crime or any knowledge of it. and the
whole question is still involved in mys-
terry.
Judge William F. Rhea, late Democratic
candidate for congress in the Ninth dis
trict, whose election was claimed on the
ground of irregularities in two precincts
in the county of Wythe, last night said
that he had at last been made acquaint-
ed with the conditions which caused the
Irregularities, and when he saw that If
the returns would elect him by a techni-
cality, he issued statement saying that
he would not accept a certificate of cleo
ton should it he awarded him, based
upon irregularities that were purely
technical.
Judge Rhea does not in any way i'm
pugn the integrity of the hoard of can
vassers, believing, that they acted as they
understood the law. He is satisfied that
the two precincts complained of, which
We're thrown out, belong to Colonel
Slemp. and he asks that they be count
ed as they were cast.
This action Of Judge Rhea will preclude
the necessity for a contest in that dis
trict. which has been the scene. of contest
for several years past. General Walker
being defeated and contestins the cleo
ton at each session Of congress.
Senator Bruce staid to-day that he
was satisfied that as soon as Judge Rhea
of the ninth district, became cognizant
OF all the facts in the recent election
showing that his opponent was defeated
by tec!lnncalites-tha he would do exact
~ What he was reported to have done in
the Dispatch this morning. decline to ac-
cept a certificate of election.
THE people of that district" said Sena-
tor Bruce. ARE devoted to Judge Rhea
He made the fight against General Walk
er when no one else would accept the
nomination, and while he is opposed by a
small faction OF the party he is popular"
Senator Bruce believes that Judge Rhea
will be the nominee next time, and that
he will be elected over Slemp, who will go
to congress next March,

REAL ESTATE MARKET.

chased. said he, with city improvements,
such as culverts, water, and gas, and az
be encouraged. At this time. according
to Mr.. Sutton. there is so little vacant
property with city Improvement that
peop:e having this property hold it at
weston to buy and build. In other words
said he, improved property is being held
at prohibitive prices, which greatly re-
time What is badly needed according
TO this gentleman, is the extension OF
the corporate limits and city improve
ment, than the city will enjoy healthy
growth.
There is plenty of money now looking
for investment in realty. but capitalists
can find no moderate-priced, well-lecated
property upon which TO build. 1t IS al

Robbins Berry in Boston Budget.
We hear much of the severe cXactions

FARMERS in BUSINESS.

/" HE Kansas farmers are forming
"co-operative" companies for
u the purpose of handling their
own grain. and thus doing away
with the ''middleman" wherever he may
be found The Kansas farmers propose
TO hold their grain in elevators ndcfini-
tely and until they can secure their own
price. In other words. they are setting
about to manage their own affairs and
to get all the profit possible out of their
wheat.
But capital will be required to do all
this, and Kansas it will be remembered,
formerly held the "capitalist" up to scorn
as one to he condemned. and even killed.
if necessary. The Kansas farmers fur
ther propose TO fix the price of grain for
themselves, and thus become independent
of all outside influences that rob" them
of their full profits.
There is nothing wrong with this Kan
sas idea. 1t is merely an advanced bust
ness step upon the part of the producers.
If they have the right men To manage
their business interests. and if they have
the capacity 10 carry their project into
force and effect, they will perhaps be
the gamers. Cooperation of farmers is
far better than wild attacks upon other
men in business. which was the former
Kansas idea.

National Affairs.



~ HE Postmaster General has
warmly indorScd Il proposed
Il enactment providing for the cS-
Establishment of post check
system intended to facilitate the sending
of small sums by mail. The post check
provided for by the bill would be more
readily obtainable and cheaper than the
postal order, and would be procurablc in
places having no money order facilities.
Inc device would be particularly con-
vcnlcnt for the transmission of sums less
than dollar. The fractional papcr Cur
rency in vogue during the Civil War be-
came Objectionable in many respects, but
when 1t was withdrawn much inconyenl-
ence was suffered by merchants who
We're receiving small remittances by mail,
Indeed, the first paper fractional cur
rcncy which came into use here after the
withdrawal of specie during the war was
called postage currency"
The almost general Use of the paper
fractional currency of wartime for re-
hitting small sums by mail Indicated the
need of form of money which could be
conveniently and safely sent in letters.
When this currency was abolished pro-
test was made against the action by
many business men. The post check
would be safer than the fractional cur
rency in letters and would cost but little.
The bill indorsed by the Postmaster Gen
eral is the measure drawn by the major
ity Of the committee appointed to con-
slider pending bills providing for the post
check system. 1t will probably secure
the approval of Congress. 1t is urged
that the post check system will become
an important adjunct to the rural free
delivery service
