Which Sammy?
Tom ScRATcuER

Mr.. EDITOR.
In the Washington Post see the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The Gcorgii minister who t. trying
10 show a scriptural authorization for
mob law should be informed that the
blue ribbon for prize ministerial asses
Is already held by sam Jon,
The esteemed Post cannot possibly
refer to our dear sammy Of White Post
Chatauqus note. This sam Jones .of
whom we speak Is not one Of the long
cared kind referred to by the Post Be
cause: Asses are proverbial for lack of
shrewdness. and the sam OF whom we
speak comes down 20 White Post every
year and delivers some Of his usual "hot
stuff about the liquor traffic. calls his
male hearers hound dogs and other
enlearing names. his female hearers
"wenches" and "hirts and incidentally
carries away number of hard Ameri-
csn dollars
Oh. no. The sammy referred to bv
the Post is not the same person There
must he two of the same name. "Our
Sammy" should sue this impos,er for
defamation of character.

Rev. {. ]. Richardson Resigns.

In speaking of the resignation of
Rev. +. j. Richardson, former
Berryville citizen, the Southside
Sentinel says editorially:
The people of Urbanna and
Saluda heard with very general
sorrow and regret the announce
ment of Rev. +. j. Richardson on
last Sunday rendering his resigna-
ton as pastor of the Baptist church
at each place. to take effect the
first of December, and this feeling
of sorrow we believe, be shared by
a very large majority of the people
IN the county. regardless of demon
nation, creed or color. for Mr..
Richardson has very greatly en-
deared himself to all with whom
he has come in contact during his
ministry here. Besides being a
preacher of splendid talents. and a
most faithful and attentive pastor.
he * always found in full sympa-
thy with every good and progress
sive movement. lending a hand
therein with rare earnestneSS and
activity. 1t i not usual. perhaps.
to speak of preacher a "A hust-
Ter. but the phrase i peculiarly
applicable TO Mr.. Richardson. who.
however. l. always found hustling
first IN the interests of the Masters
Kingdom. and then in whatever
else he undertakes. The two
churches To whom he has minister
eel for the past four or five years
have fouriShed immensely under
his care, and the good which he
has done In this community WILDE
apparent for many years TO come.
aye, it will never be completely
etfaced. The Sentinel has always
appreciated him a a minister. as a
citizen and friend. and we know
of no man with character more
exalted or piety more genuine.
His departure will he great los
not only To the churches he has
served 50 faithfully and 80 well.
but To our entire community. and
he will carry away with him the
esteem and affection of hundreds
of friends and the earnest prayers
of his brethren. May his future
labors. in whatever field he shall
locate, be abundantly successful in
promoting the interests of our
Fathers Kingdom. and every hap

PROJECTED IMPROVEMENT.
King Copsico Point to Become Sum
mer Resort.

The visit of President Woodbury., Vice
President Norment and Second Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager John Callahan
of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company of this city to Westmoreland
county, Va, Tuesday last will in all prob
ability result in the building of big sum-
mer hotel and cottages and the making OF
King Copsico Point on the Potomac river,
a competitor for the patronage of the Wash
ington people.
Mr.. Callahan stated this morning to a re-
porter for The Star that the visit of the OFF,
Gals of the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company to Virginia was the result
of solicitation on the part of northern cap
italists, who will build the hotel and wharf
al King Copsico, If the steamer people will
allow the steamers to stop there on the
trips to and from this city.
The hotel, if built. is to be modern in all
its details and will be primarily for the
people of Washington.
Mr.: Callahan stated that while his COM
pany had taken no definite action in the
matter, the officials who visited King Cop
sico were much pleased with the location.
Regarding runners of an electrical railway
through the northern neck OF Virginia the
Norfolk and Washington company, he said
has mo intention of building one. but the
projectors of the hotel may run a line
across the county. to a point on the Kappa
hammock river. in order to bring the hotel
IN touch. by steamer, with Baltimore and
the north.
