An SO Mile Clip

Han fSon6s'g Register.
Local employees of the B. q O.
Railroad are discussing with con-
siderable pride what they consider
a record run between Harrison
burg and Cave Station. A few
days ago mail train No. SO, due to
leave here for Lexington at 2:3O
p. m. pulled out fifteen minutes
late, aid Engineman Lewis Payne
announced his determination to
make Staunton on schedule time.
When The train reached Cave
Station-15 miles from Harrison
burg-after making three stops, he
made the gratifying discovery
that he was on time to the min
ute.
The schedule time between Har-
risonburg aid Cave Station is Just
30 minutes, which after allowing
for stops is approximately at the
rate of a mile minute, actual
running time. TO gain Is minutes
in the fifteen mile run and make
al schedule stops, requires some
thing like an S5-mile-an- hour clip |
while running-whlch Is surely |
ecord time for the Valley Branch |
of the b. d. o.
Passengers travelling between
and Lexington sell
dom nave occasion t. be reminded
Of the Empire State Express or
trains of that class, but if this
be true-and it is amrly
fOr-tnen Lewis Payne
pro badly has the distinction of
putting train through from
iarrisonburg to Cave Station
aster than any other MAJ that

A HANDSOME EXHIBIT

The Virginia Commissioners haC
an all-day meeting Thursday las
in Richmond. From what they said
it is fair to assume that the State
will have handsome exhibit al
the st. Louis Fair.
Superintendent Murrell reported
that he was just back from the
apple counties, and that the follow
ing counties are getting up a large
collection of apples: Patrick,
Franklin, Roanoke, BOtetOurt.
Bedford, Amherst, Nelson, Abe
marie, Rappahanrock, Frederick,
Shenandoah, Rockingham, and
Augusta, ard it was determined to
collect if possible 1000 barrels.
The crop in Virginia is so fine and
large that the State will show up
well in this particular.
The same can be said of corn,
and it is proposed to collect 100
barrels of that grain of the best
quality in the ear, on the
stalk and shelled. The following
counties will have exhibits:
Augusta, Fluvanna, Halifax, Char
iotte, Norfolk, Princess Anne,
Albemarle, Pittsylvania, Rock
bridge, Rockingham, Loudoun,
Fauquier, Essex and Henry.
Captain Morton said that the
Virginia building idea was con-
stantly growing in favor and the
fund daily increasing. 1t got new
impetus from the favor with |
which it had been received at the
where nearly every
one contributed. The idea of
having an exhibit of that institu-
ton in the Monticello building
which had been suggested there,
was regarded with favor by the
commission.

Synod of Virginia in Session at
Abingdon This Week.

The one hundred and sixteenth
annual session of the Synod OF
Virginia was opened last night at
Abingdon, Va, with sermon by
the retiring moderator, Rev. f.
j. Brooke, ID. d., of Alexandria.
Rev. DR.. A. NJ. Frazer, of Staun-
ton, was elected moderator and
Rev. r. A. White and Rev. A. g.
Hopkins, Jr., temporary clerks.
The synod is the largest in the
Southern Presbyterian General
Assembly, which is composed Of
thirteen synods in all. 1t hns
under its jurisdiction 469 churches,
2S4 ministers, over 1900 ruling
elders and a membership of over
1000 commandments. 1t en-
braces the States of Virginia and
portions of West Virginia, Mary
land and the District Of Columbia.
Important questions to be con-
sidered are the report Of the home
mission committee, which has in
charge the work of the synod in
building up and extending Pres
byterianism withinher bounds, and
the question of dividing the
bounds of the synod into two or
more synods. There is great di-
versity of opinion as to division.
At the meeting of the synod at
Norfolk the committees report
favored division into two parts,
to be known as the Synod of Vir-
ginia and the Synod of West Au-
gusta.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP

In lengthy address in Chicago
Tuesday night, October 14th, ex-
President Grover Cleveland made
plea for good citizenship. He
also took occasion to touc h on the
corruption in politics. Mr.. Cleve-
land in his characteristic way
directed attention to that ingrained
civic indifference, which is one of
the greatest menaces to the we'll
being and perpetuity of our in
situations. The full text of his
speech was in daily papers of that
time and was read with special
interest, when the duties of citi-
zenship are so pressing. He has
been out of public life for nearly
eight years, but from his retreat
at Princeton he can WELD far
greater inf .ence than possibly any
other man.

Importance of this, the first con-
test, under the new Constitution
for the control of the county's

be more difficult to win next time.
Therefore energy should be enlisted
in assuring victory in the approach
ing contest. 1t is up to the Demo-
cr' is of Rockbridge now to talk
and hustle for the ticket.
