AN ERROR CORRECTED.

We are told that there is widespread
belief in some sections Of the country
that whoever presents himself for regis
tration must stand an examination no
matter whether he be taxpayer. a vet
eran, or the son Of veteran.
This. we are assured. accounts in some
measure for the hardness Of our voters
in Offering themselves FOR registration.
The newspapers have done much to cor
rect this false impression. It now rests
with the party authorities to reach these
badly informed voters-ctiefly men who
subscribe to no newspaper.
For some weeks past the Dispatch and
other papers have been printing at the
head of their editorial columns a succinct
synopsis of the constitutional provisions
on the subject.
1t strikes US that it Is very important
that our county and city committees
should give prompt attention to this mat

not be said to be" the person for whom
Pittsylvania was named. He most un-
doubtedly was. and the county seat is
named Chatham.
Edward Of England, son of Ferdi-
nand," given as namesake for Prince
Edward county, may be a misprnt. for
there was no Ferdinand. The county was
probably named for Edward Augustus,
Duke of York, brother of George III
Southampton county was almost GER

of Northampton. the friend Of Shakes
peare and leading member Of the Vir-
giuta Company.
Warwick county was named for Pitt
Rich, Earl OF Warwick, prominent
member Of the Virginia Company and
not named for the town of Warwick.
York county and Yorktown were not
named for the English county and town,
but for Charles, Duke OF York. after
wards Prince OF Wales and King Charles
I. Charles was King when the county
received its name. but York Plantation"
had existed long before. At first the
county was called Charles River.

That such know thy own dear heart to

Yes. such I've found thee in the days gone
When others whom I held as dear and
nigh,
Have disa ppointed every trust reposed,
Neglected friendship, cen will disclosed

For sheer amusem emit, or for interest,
Or any other cause that chanceu to be
In selfish gain or in frivolity.
And thus, in time, I've lost them one by
Until thou standest now almost alone;
The ore is tested in life's furnace blast;
The dross consumed: the pure gold at
last!
And of my other friends remaining so,
Excepting thee. it is but touch and go,

see applied, by fate, the slightest test;
For If mid sorrows summer heat they

Like petals from the parched rose stem.
fall;
Cor few of mortals here below there be
Alike in sorrow and prosperity
I'll feel as though existence were in vain
And, dying here. wish ne'er to live again.
All, rather had / lived in bootless trust
OF man, as not mere animated dust
But as a Being, in Gods image made
And as it is In Him by Him displayed
Yes, rather live-in error though it be
Believing this in full sincerity,
Than as a monarch. wear imperial crown.
And from the heights of greatness look

Be forced to see him as that grovelling
worm,
The seed of evil and damnation's germ,
That first was faithless in my paridise;
That slew his brother meath his Makers
That brought upon the earth the woful
flood,
AS merit just of long ingratitude;
That nailed his loving Savior to a cross.
And, unacquainted yet with hearts re-
morse,
Will e'er continue to the very last
The hopes of every trusting friend to
blast.
No matter what his inward heart may be,
I'd rather still, though in hypocrisy,
That man would, outward. act the friend
to me.
Then might it be that could ne'er detect
The fraud; or even, never once suspect
That it existed; and might live and die,
Thanking every force in earth and sky.
That as my form was more with years
oppressed
Ny heart with love and friendship more
was blessed.
And fading off into the eve Of life,
Where holy calm succeeds ambition's
strife,
Sink down at last into peaceful grave,
With thanks to God who all my blessings
gave;
And on the journey to the fields anew
Be warned by love Of friends I fancied
true.
Thus fam, through lfe's receptions would
And if my friends are false. would never

Which not on mere passivity depend.
But which, beneath adversely will bend.
And bright and staunch be true until the
end!

Pipe-making came to be quite an art

Some OF their pipes and stems show no
little originality, and in Mexico there are
prehistoric monuments in which the pipe

portraying religious rites.

is now no corner OF the inhabited globe

long after the Indian has become extinct
as a race, men-and some women-will
continue to enjoy tobacco in one form
or other.

The Louisville Courier-Jcurnal, in dis
cussins President Roosevelt's proposition
for a constitutional amendment, In order
to deal with the trusts, asks this perth
nent question::
Nov, does Mr.. Roosevelt believe that,
concentrated az is the money power in
his own party, intrenched, fortified, or
ganized and equipped as it is, would ever
permit two-thirds of both houses Of Con-
gress to propose a hostile amendment. or
three-fourths of the States to ralfy it?''
Then the Courier Journal adds:
IF he does believe it, he is singularly
lacking in political acumen and powers of
observation. If he does not believe 1t,
why should he seek to delude his 'coun-
trymen into the belief that such result
can possibly be expected from party
that owes its existence to the money
power"
Exactly.
