For some time it has been under
stood that Atlantic might have the
honor of entertaining the Fifty
First Regiment in their annual en-
campment. But little stir was made
about it although something was
being done to bring things this way.
One day last week Major Byers,
whose duty it is to determine these
matters, came to Atlantic and look
ed the ground over. Griswold had
been living in hopes that she might
be the fortunate one, and the same
day that the MAJOR was here he Wis
tied that place also. Upon his re-
turn it was seen that if Atlantic
would meet certain conditions she
could have the encampment. These
conditions consist in furnishing
suitable grounds, good water and
lights free of expense to the state.
This she was able to do. The site
of the camp is on the grounds north
of the depot and of easy access to
the town. Thesoldiers go into camp
so it is understood July 22d and re-
main about ten days. The regiment
consists of ten companies averag-
ing about sixty men apiece so that
there will be nearly thousand peo-
pie here besides the visitors who
will come to see the different drills
and other exercises. Atlantic is for
tunate in securing the eencampment.

horses along side the fence down
on South street last Sunday and
soon they began to show more
agility than he ever saw them dis
play before and trying to ascertain
the cause he ran onto fine swarm
of bees which explained the cause
of the horses trying to stampede.
George moved his team and on
Monday afternoon proceeded to
capture the nice swarm of bees.

IT UPHOLDS MIR. HYDE
REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF BUsI
 NESS MEN.
Strongly Opposes the Idea of Taking from the Agricultural Depart ment the Compilation of
 Crop Statistics.

Washington. Nov. M.-(Special)- some time past there has been consider able criticism by Boards of Trade and Stock Exchanges of the country on &C., count of the striking discrepancies be- tween the crop estimates of the Census Bureau and the Department of Agricul- ture The National Board of Trade ap- pointed a committee to investigate the methods of collection and compilation ot statistics by the two branches of the Government.
 The committee began it's work last sum rer ana continued 1t through September and October. The result of their labors Is embodied in a report made public to- day by the Secretary of the committee. c. B. Murray of Cincinnati, which is Of the greatest importance, especially as re- lating to the features of variance in the estimates of cotton crops.
 The report, in a general way, severely scores the defective methods of the Cen sus Burau, while it not only exonerates Statlstician Hyde of the Department of Acriculture from all censure, but warm ly commends his efforts to secure accur- ate data and lauds his methods of se- curing and presenting information.
 The report utterly opposes any idea or plan of transferring the crop statistical division of the Department to any other branch of the Government.
 The report is signed by William c. Harvey for the Philadelphia Commercial Museum; J. c. Brown, New York Pro- duce Exchange; B. r. Howard Chicago Roard of Trade; H. A. Wroth, Baltimore Chamber of Commerce. and c. B. Mur- ray. Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce.

The Call to the South.
Richmond Time!

RlcnWOnd Times.
 Manifesty there is a disposition on the see the South take the lead in the next national campaign. Recently Mir. Thomas F. Ryan of New York native of Vir- g.nia. said in a newspaper interview that some of the most thoughtful Southerners in that city were declaring that the greatest political opportunity was now open to the South; that the only possible restoration of the Democratic party to power and usefulness was through the devoutly to be wished must be achieved by the South's learedship "The future success of the party" said MT. Ryan, lies with the Democrats of the South ern States They have the power to con- trol and direct it's policy in the Demo- cratic National Convention and in Con gress. if they choose to do so. It lies with them to give it sound guidance and to put it on the road to recovery. With strict adherence to the Constitution as 1t is, with no encroachment upon the rights of the several States, and with no such extension of Federal powers as is being urged by the Republican leaders; by strict economy in administration and moderate taxation for public purposes the party will recover its old Influence. The assertion of these principles brought vic tory in the past and adherence to them will regain for the party the confidence of the American people,.
 The New York Times reproduces these remarks of Mr. Ryan's and says that every Democrat of light and leading in the South must feel that these are true and wise words: that all such Democrats ought to let their light shine, and so use their leadership as to make the mass of Democrats in the South know and feel

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
DUN AND BRADsTREET DISCUSS
 THE SITUATION.
Railway Earnings Largest in the History of the Country-Increass in Employees Wages Sign
 of Prosperity.

New York, Nov. H.-R. G. Dun x Cos weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Voluntary increases in wages by some of the largest railroad systems in the amount of business handled in the past and emphasize the confidence of officials in continued heavy traffic. Moreover by this addition of large sums to the purchasing power of railway employees. there is assurance of a large demand Tor all staple lines of merchandable goods.
 Temporarily, sales of seasonable lines or wearing apparel are retarded by milo weather, but this loss will be fully made up when low temperature becomes gem eral Preparations for holiday trade are o nan unprecendented scale. especially at interior points.
 There is no relief as to the congestion of railway tariff. nor any immediate pros pect of free movements at the points or most serious blockade. Coal freight is steadily gaining and all railway earnings thus far reported for November exceed last years by 5e per cent and those or lSoo by 15<9 per cent. Orders are now coming forward for iron and steel products that have been held back many months in ex- pectation of an easing market. Instead of making concessions, however, pro ducers ask premiums for early delivery and hesitate to accept contracts where material and fuel gre not in sight. NO relief is reported as to the movement of coke, nor is any anticipated for some time to come, .n fact, one authority suggests that the situation will not be normal be- fore April. Imports relieve some depart | rnents of the industry. Pians for cohstruc- tive work are now increasing and very | large tonnage of structural material will be required. As the present congestion Is due to inadequate facilities, the most | important inquiry is for railway equip ment.
 Activity is notable at works making az ricultural improvements, bolts and kindred lines. Recent reductions h few of the degree. Silver bullion. declined to the lowest price on record and copper and tn
 also receded from former quotations: The recovery in raw cotton has steadied the markets for goods.
 Orders for spring shoes are coming for ward freely and there is supplementary buying of winter goods on a moderate scale Retailers have much money tied up in rubber goods, for which there has been little demand. Both sole and upper feathers are quiet, yet quotations are steady and belting butts are firmer. For eign buying of hemlock is somewhat res- tricted. No concession are obtained on hides except whepe new offerings are of inferior quality. although stocks have in- creased and the western markets are quiet. Foreign dry hides are fully main tained in the local market, supplies be- ing light.
 Failures for the week numbered 266 in the United States against 21S last year and 24 in Canada compared with 31 a year ago.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.

New York, Nov. N.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Favorable conditions still govern the trade situation. The mild, open fall the movement of winter goods at retail and delaying collections at few points, but it is not to be forgotten that pres ent temperatures favor the continued growth of the cotton crop and larger yield than heretofore existed while it is enabling the railroads to make far bet ter fight against the prevailing freight congestion than was earlier deemed pos sible. Export trade returns look better than preliminary reports foreshadowed. Agricultural products, owing to high prices, have gone abroad in smaller VOL ume than expected. but there Is evident ly larger movement of manufactured
 goods. The railroad situation Is cer-
 tainly a remarkable one. The complaint
 Is no longer one of car shortages, of lack of motive power or even of insuf- appreciated that the business of the country offered to the railroads Is so I large that new measures must be devised | to meet new conditions.
 The strength of the raw materials has | been of benefit to the cotton goods mar ket which, however. remains quiet. The
 woolen goods situation Is without special feature. Leather and hides have ruled steady. The manufacturers of shoes re-
 port good orders. Among the features brought out in telegrams to Bradstreet' s
 this week is the increased activity noted by jobbers In holiday goods, especially
 the better grades of jewelry and fancy products.
 Fancy groceries are moving more free l ly.
 The iron trade situation is rather | stronger than a week ago. Pig iron | prices. immediate delivery, are slightly higher. The fuel scarcity still dominates | the situation and prevents high produc- | ton approaching more nearly to a parity | with consumption. Western buying of pig iron has not been notably active, but | a sharp demand is observed in the East. | Bessemer pig iron is 50 cents higher at | Pittsburg and at Philadelphia. Western | steel rail mills are reported to have sold practically their entire 1904 production. | Plate and structural men are also heav- l ly sold ahead and the latter continues quite active. despite the advanced stage
 of the season. Good sized transactions
 Tn steel billets are reported occurring at , Fittsburg Heavy hardware is reported quieter at Western markets, but light hardware is active.

lieve that the Democrats of other South ern States will fall in line. and it will then be an easy matter to draw the Dem ocrats of other sections.
 This does not mean that the South should necessarily put forward a candi- date. The South can well afford to wait for that But we believe that it devolves upon the South to preserve the true spir- it of Democracy and to prevent the party from petering out in Socialism. And we believe that 1t devolves upon Virginia to take the lead
