ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Joseph Bryan, owner of the Rich
mond Times, has felt obliged to de-
cline the offer of the presidency of the
jamestown Tercentennary Exposi-
ton on account of pressure of busi-
ness. General Fitz Lee is now being
mentioned in this connection.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of j. III. Walden, 35 years old,
who several months ago was charged
with having buried alive his wife and
baby at their home in Southwest
Virginia. This time Walden is charged
with abducting 12-year-old girl,
the daughter of reputable farmer.
There were eight speak easies in
the Yellow Greek oil fields of West
Virginia and the inhabitants became
tired of them. The eight places were
blown up with dynamite, which not
only wrecked the buildings, but
destroyed all the stocks of liquor and
notorious character, called PATSY" I"
with them.
The U. S. Census Bureau has
issued its report on printing and
publishing in the United States for
the census year 1900, showing a cap
ital of $292, ,517,072, invested in the
22,3l2 establishments reporting for
the industry. 63 per cent. of these
are owned by individuals and only
II rer cent. are under the influence
of corporations.
r. w. Pyle, owner of one-third of
the city of Greytown, Nicaragua,
committed suicide i'll Chicago Mon
day. After investing his fortune in
the Central American city, living
for fifteen years in hopes that the
United States would build q canal
through Nicaragua, seeing another
route adopted, and finally becoming
totally blind, in his 73rd year, he
became depressed and ended all by
one well-directed shot.
The Charlottesville PROGRESS wishes
that all the people of Virginia could
have heard the speeches delivered on
Friday last by the members of the
jamestown Exposition Committees
to the Virginia Press Association.
The Progress says: "rhey were SO
full of hope and courage, aye, aud
Of convincing facts, too, that it was
a positive inspiration to hear them.
They were the words of men who did
not fear failure, who did not even
consider it possibility"
Panama hats are in unprecedented
demand this season. The plant
from which is obtained the material
of which the hats are made is COM
monty called the Panama Hat Palm.
1t takes about three months to make
a good Panama hat. The fibre is
woven by hand in early morning
when the dew is upon it. Not all
are perfect, the large majority having
some blemish discovered after being
made which detracts from the price.
Havana is the great distributing
point for these hats, and vessels are
in great demand just at present to
transport them to this country.

To have given up would have meant death
for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorchester, Mass. For
years she had endured untold misery from q
severe lung trouble and Obstinate cough.
Often, she writes. "I could scarcely breathe
and sometimes could not speak. All doctors
and remedies failed till used DIR. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption and was complete
ly cured" Sufferers from Coughs, Colds,
Throat and Lung Trouble need this grand
remedy, for IL never disappoints. Cure is

Ordinarily the writer of an ano,

Ordinarily the writer of all anony-
nous letter is a coward and black
guard. There are some people, how
ever, who write anonymous letters
simply because they do not know any
better. They think it is the proper
thing to do when writing to news
paper, even though their letters con-
tain unjust criticism, to sign some
fictitious name. 1t looks smart. Such
people are merely ignorant, not ma
licious, and may be forgiven. If
there are any who read this who are
afflicted with the anonymous letter
habit, we beseech them to change
their ways. 1t is one of the worst
habits a man can get into-writinp
anonymous letters to newspaper
and the motives Of the writer are al.
ways liable to the worst construction,

jOTTINGS FROM RICHMOND CO
It's a world of injustice, some folks say
And becoming more SO every day.
Which i'm one sense is true-'twixt me
and you;
And lucky for them, as they well know
too.
For were these people their dues go get
They would be complaining still NOR,
vet.
Strict justice, in spite of their cry.
Is the last thing for which they sigh.
In fact, it's question. take us all rouud
II a wish for strict Justice can he found
Yet the politician, with n smile SO bland
Will yell and yell it over all the land;
Pocket his salary and put it away;
Our profits grow smaller every day.
He will "holle-" about it the year thro'
(}ut let it give nothing to me or you),
And cry for justice to foreign lands,
Not caring at home how it stands.
Mr.. Holme, of Holme & WaddIng-
ton, has, with his family, arrived at
MAYORS for short vacation. On
their return to Baltimore Mr.. Wad-
dington and family Will take their
place here, and canning tomatoes will
go OH at lively rate as usual at
MAYORS.
Henry w. Harrington is very low
with fever and has had the doctor
daily, or oftener, with one or two
nurses in constant attendance; but
it is hoped that he will soon be on
the mend.
Bank building at Warsaw nearly
completed and We will coon have a
place where we can get checks
casbed aud all our surplus money
safely kept for us in good, strong
vault.
Fourth of July passed off without
much to report, the most of the peo-
pie being engaged in harvest. Yet
there were quite number of enter
tainments in various parts of the
county.
Miss Ethel Lyons, of Tappahau-
mock, is on visit 10 friends in the
vicinity of her former residence.
She adds much to the enjoyment of
those who are fortunate in being
able to meet her ir society.
DR.. A. @. Fisher will soon have
his mill in working order, and it is
hoped he will have it insured, as be
is so much of a public benefactor
and such a jolly good fellow that DO
one wishes him to have any more
losses.
Northern Neck Nc,Cs will soon
have their new building ready for
use, and we expect Brother Morgan
will give us good treat and layout
when it is ready; for, of course, he
wants 10 be up-to- date and give us,
the paper, himself and all good
send-off. All who owe please send
in their back dues so that he will
have plenty of cash to burn and
won't limit the oysters, pies and
cakes on the occasion.
Taylor's mill pond is becoming
quite picturesque. There is a canoe
on the pond, and when handsome
young ladies use the canoe we are
carried into the realms of fairylaud,

The Charleston Is. CO. News and
Courier dissents from the conclu.
sions reached by Gen. e. p. Alexan-
der, the Confederate general of artil-
lery, in his West Point centennial
anniversary speech. The Ne,cs and
Courier says: "If the Southern Con.
federacy had succeeded according to
the expectation of the men who es-
tablished it, we would have had,
perhaps, not the greatest and most
glorious country the world ever
saw, but the purest, the freest and
the happiest. A vain ideal, perhaps,
but we are sorry, not glad, it failed.
None the less we are good citizens
and honest men; we will make the
best of a bad bargain, and, as far as
in US lies, make the Nation of which
we are a part live up to our ideals to
the best of our ability"

HOG TUSK.

FAMOUS FISH CAs2-nARGE WILD
HOG TUsK.
A hogs tusk, measuring nearly
nine inches from root to tip, was
found on Springfield, a farm of sew
eral hundred acres situated near
Heathsville, some days ago. MANY
years ago a large number of wild
hogs was on the farm and the tusk
only shows the enormous size these
hogs must have been.
The Neale & Krantz VS.. Williams
tish-stand case began the early part
of December last; depositions were
taken nearly every day during the
month until just before Christmas,
when the case was postponed until
the latter part of January, when it
was again taken mp and lasted until
the 1st of March. Judge Wright
did not have time during the spring
term of Circuit Court to render a
decision, so he appointed a special
day for the lawyers to meet him at
Warsaw and make their arguments.
For some reason they did not meet,
and the case was sent on to Lancaster
Court, but was never decided until
few weeks ago at Warsaw.
Williams really won the case.
Krantz & Neale have the costs to pay
aud the injunction was dissolved.
This decision is in no way satisfac-
tory to the fishermen, who had
watched the progress of the case with
a keen interest, hoping that IN the
future they would have some law to
govern the possession of the different
stands on the river.
Heretofore they have had law or
understanding among themselves that
If a fisherman found a stand and
staked it out it was his private prop
erty as long as he wanted it, but now
according to Judge Wright's de-
'cision the first man that gets his net
out each year has the stand for the
season and another man can put a
trap in front of his and thus deprive
him of catching any fish.

KEEPING DEEDS FROM RECORD
Editor Of Me Dispatch:

Editor Of tie Dispatch:
What is the law in regard TO the re.
cording of deedss How long can person
hold deed before having it recorded?
Colley, Va. r. d. S.
Section 2465, as amended by the
Acts of 1895 and 1896, p. S42, says
in relation to contracts, deeds, and
so forth that are void as to creditors
and purchasers unless recorded:
"Every such contract in writing,
every deed conveying any such estate
or term, and every deed of gift OF
deed of trust or mortgage conveying
real estate or goods and chattels shall
be void as to subsequent purchasers
for valuable consideration without
notice, and creditors, until and ex-
cept from the time that it is duly
admitted to record in the county or
corporation wherein the property
embraced in such contract or deed
may be; provided that possession of
any such estate or term, without no
tice of other evidence of title, shall
not be notice to said subsequent pur-
chasers for valuable consideration"
Section 2467, as amended by the
Acts of 1895 and 1896, p. 2S5, makes
this provision:
"That any such writing which is
admitted 20 record within ten DAYS
from the date of its being acknow-
ledged before and certified by JUS
tice, notary, or other person author
lied to certify the same for record,
shall, unless it be a mortgage, or
deed of trust, not in consideration of
marriage, be as valid as to creditors
and subsequent purchasers, as if such
admission to record had been on the
day of such acknowledgment and
certificate.
There is Lo limit, we take it, with
in which a deed is to be recorded:
the paper is, however, only valid as
to purchasers and creditors, &C.,
from the day of recordation, with the
exceptions above noted.

from the house where Aguinaldo
lived in Manila. Agninaldo was told

wreak vengeance upon HIM.
