MIDDLEsEX NOTES.
VERDICT SET ASIDE.

Judge Garnett's court was in ses-
sion last week in the trial of j. G.
Fears for the betrayal of Gertie Sib-
ley under promise of marriage. He
was found guilty and gwen two years
in the penitentiary. The court
set aside the verdict and granted
a new trial on grounds of error in
the selection of the jury. T. j.
Jones, attorney for the Common
wealth, was assisted by Senator J..
Boyd Sears, of Mathews, in the prose-
cution. The defense was conducted
by Hon. II. /. Lewis, of West Point,
and Colonel John r. Saunders, of
Saluda.
An Agricultural Association COM
prising the counties of Mathews,
Middlesex and Gloucester has been
organized.

WITHIN a week our people have
had evidences of the big heartedness
of. enterprising citizens. At consid-
cradle cost to the firm-and nothing
to the favored one-Capt. Messick
manned his steamer and carried a
sufferer to the city where he could
reach needed surgical attention. A
few days later Capt. r. w. Wiley,
without unloading his vessel, took
another across the Bay to the bed
side of a stricken relative. These
are only two examples of what has
been done in the past by men who
are the backbone and stay of our
county. Numerous other such in
stances might-be mentioned-one in
particular, less than two years ago,
when a steamer belonging to Bel
lows u Squares that was catching a
thousand dollars worth of fish a
day stopped to go to Norfolk and
bring a physician to the bedside of
one of our best ladies who was
thought to be. on the verge of
dying. There may be, but we know
OF no other section where busy men
will forfeit so much to receive in
return gratitude only as remunera-
ton. Truly such men are invalu-
able to q country.

POLITICAL.

The Democrats won by a plurality
OF over 1000 in the municipal cleo
tions in st. Paul, Mimi.
McLaurin in an address to the
Democrats of South Carolina practi
cally breaks with them and saws he
does not regret his votes cast in the
Senate with the Republicans.
The time for selecting man for
the next Congressional election is
drawing near. We all love and honor
William A. Jones, but let him rest
for our next Governor. We want to
make Hon. Thomas e. Blakey serve
our district in congress for awhile.
A man more fitted to fill the place
than Judge Blakey cannot be fonnd.
You all know him, and l believe
that if Judge Blakey will permit, the
good people of Essex county will be
solid for him, and our sister counties
would follow suit. Let's hear from
other correspondents on this question.

Gov. Montague while in Balti-
more Monday said: "The Democratic
party cannot win with the financial
question as the issue. / think the
Democratic party must cease to be a
party of opposition" the Governor
went on. "We have got to get to-
gether and map out Rhine of cam
paign different from that which we
have been pursuing. Finance must
not be in the foreground. With the
right kind of platform we can carry
the country and elect president, if
not the next one, certainly the one
to be chosen in,190S. But the party
cannot win with the financial cues
ton as an issue, according to my
views"
In an interview General Fitzhugh
Lee stated with emphasis that he
was in politics to stay, but when asked
II he would be candidate for United
States Senator from Virginia he said
that matter would develop itself and
ne would cross the bridge when he
came to it. Virginia politicians are
interested in the report. He and
Governor Montague are great per-
sonal friends. General Lee was in
Richmond some months ago and he
and Governor Montague were closeted
together for an hour or more at the
Westmoreland Club. 1t may be that
the announcement of General Lee
that ne is in politics "to stay" is the
outcome of the conference. And it
IS not impossible that this will soon
be followed by the further announce
ment that he is a candidate to sue
coed Senator Daniel. though it is
generally believed that he will OPP
pose Senator Martin

NO FAULT BUT HIS OWN.

There never was time of greater
demand for competent and reliable
help in nearly every branch of bust.
ness throughout this country. The
man who is not an imbecile or a
criminal and does not get alLthe
work he wants to do at living prices
must be either an invalid or slug
gard. Operators and business men
are upon continual quest to procure
honest and efficient help, displaying
more zeal In fact in this direction
than in efforts to add to their orders
for trade. The young man who
buckles down to work in dead earnest.
determined to give his employer his
best efforts, will command the re-
spect and interest of his employer,
and will in time rise to something
worth the effort. While all may not
have the opportunities that did
Schwab-a poor boy who has risen to
a million dollar salary as the head OF
the Steel Trust while yet young man
there are thousands of openings
and opportunities that are much to
be desired. We regret to be forced
to the opinion that the majority of
young men launch out in life with
no other purpose in view than to
pose at the cool end of cigarette, to
have a "drag" with the girls and to
figure how few hours in a day they
can devote to the service of their en-
ployer and still hold on to their Job.
This class of young men is very aptly
taken off in the letters of retired
merchant to his son which have been
running in the Saturday Eceninq
Post, from which we extract the
following:
That's the way 1 feel about these young
fellows who lazy along trying to turn in
ut every gate where there seems to be a
little shade, and sulking and baking
whenever you say "git-up" to them. They
are the men who are always bowling
that BIZ Smith was promoted because he
had pull, and that they are being held
down because the manager Is Jealous OF
them. I've seen a good many pulls In
my time, but / never saw one strong
enough to lift a man any higher than he
could raise himself by his boot straps, or
long enough to reach through the cash
ier's window for more money than It's
owner earned.
When afellow brags that he has pull,
he's a liar or his employers fool. And
when a fellow whines that he's being
held down, the truth is, as general
thing, that his boss can't hold him up.
He just picks nice, soft spot, stretches
out Hat on his back, and yells that some
heartiess brute has knocked him down
and Is sitting on his chest
A good man Is as full of bounce as
cat with small boy aud bull terrier
after him. When he's thrown to the dog
from the second-story window he fixes
while he's sailing through the air to land
right, and when the dog jumps for the
spot where he hits, he isn't there, but In
the top of the tree across the street. He's
good deal like the little red headed cuss
that we saw in the football game you
took me to. Every time the herd
stampeded it would start in TO trample
and paw and gore him. One minute the
whole bunch would be on top of him and
the next he would be Looping off down
the range, splitting out hair and pieces of
canvas jacket, or standing on one side
as cool as hog on ice, watching the
mess unsnarl and the removal of the
crippies.y
