The evidence for the prosecution
in the Campbell Crawford case has
been submitted and Judge Campbell
is now home hunting up witnesses to
refute the damaging testimony given
by ministers of the Gospel, court Of
ficials, prominent lawyers, servants
and others against him. The evil
dence showed that he was in no wise
fitted to hold the honored position of
Judge of the Commonwealth and
briefly summed up was to the effect;
That he had influenced the jury that
acquitted him and they had promised
him to return a verdict of not guilty;
that he had secured whiskey to in
fluence voters in the Flood election;
that he had sent negro to buy
whiskey and gin when its very sale
was illegal on any day, and that he
had gone out to cowhide an aged
minister without even the formality
of adjourning his court after threat
enipg him. To what extent he will
be able to refute the charges against
him of course remains to be seen. 1t
is not believed, however, that he can
summon enough witnesses to dis
credit the evidence of the men of
high character who have appeared
against him. The investigation will
be resumed on the 10th of February,
and it is announced that Judge
Campbell will have fifty witnesses to
start with and will be given even
more if he should desire them.

ACcoMAO COURT HOUSE, va
SATURDAY. JANUARY 81, 1908.

If the advance, in the value OF real
estate OF late in the.county OF Acco-
mac, can be accepted as an evidence
of prosperity we are In the full en-
joyment of it in many sections OF the
county. Sales are reported in the
last ten days, showing that 1t has
doubled in price in some localities 10
the last year and that there is not
enough of it even for sale at these
prices to meet the demands of those
who wish to buy it. From the sales
reported forty to sixty dollars per
scre has been paid, and a significant
fact in connection Herewith, indica-
ting the prosperity of our farmers, lie
that many of the purchases are being
made by those who have accumula-
ted the money in the last few years.
The advance in price Of course is
greater in some sections than IN
others and the prices paid for farm
lands OF late perhaps could not be
obtained except in one section of the
county but while this is SOFT is equal
ly true, that there has been an adj
vance in price from one end of the
county to the other. 1t is gratifying
to believe toe, that with the improved
methods in farming practiced in late
years and of preparing and shipping
produce to market, that greater pros
perity still awaits us. With lands so
we'll adapted to raising all kinds OF
trucks as ours are, we have the right
10 expect it and oEly our folly can
prevent it. All that seems to be ne
cessary to give our lands greater
value and us greater prosperity Is,
after we have made our crops,to look
after the handling and distribution
CT it, through the Produce Exchange
as we have done in the past few
years.

James II. Hayes, the colored law
yer and associate counsel with John
s. Wise in the attempts that are
being made to overthrow the Con-
stitution of Virginia, used the follow
ing incendlary language in an ad-
dress delivered in Washington last
Monday night:
Negroes are leaving the State of
Virginia because OF the treatment
they are receiving. What we want
to do is to start something and keep
it up until the white people stop
something. We don't intend to be
oppressed any longer. We DON'T in
tend to be crushed. l am atrsid we
are anarchistic, that we are anarch.
lists, and give the warning that If
this oppression In the South con
tinues the negro must resort to the
sword and torch, and that the South
land will become land of blood and
Cesolation."
No race war will result from the
silly vaporing in which the associate
of Mr.. Wise has INDUCED. No one
believes that the colored people OF
the State could ever have so little
sense, under any circumstances, and
whatever grievances they may con-
clude they have, to resort to the
Sword and torch" to rectify them. II
is to be hoped that none OF them viii
approve his declaration and no sen
eible negro will. They must see thai
an incendiary speech like that made
by Hayes is an injury to them, ant
they will, if wise, hasten to repudiatt
it,.
