the work of revising the statutes will

up, and that little will be legislation

framed during the past eighteen
months. 1t is probable that the
Mann liquor law will be amended OF

This is the old General Assembly
aud not the new one just elected.
The new Assembly will get together
on the second Wednesday in January,

will be reelected. 1t will attemp,

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
IS subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that IS terrible to think
of.
Headaches as rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilnated, the whole nervous system is weak.
ened, and headaches result. II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys.
tenn must be strengthened and vitaiized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessress, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; IL Is the
great reconstuctant Of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westnck, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows:-
-" have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for q number of wears. About
every week I would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since I began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. I feel
better than I have for years.

STORY OF THE OYSTER.
The Fishing Gazette SAYS:


"New York seems to have been the
mother of the infant oyster industry in
this country, says an exchange. AS
early as 1921 traders told of very large
oysters on the shores, and of women
gathering them. Sixty years later Sin
George Calvert reported beds producing
oysters lone foot long" As the Dutch
progressed the oyster industry languish
ed. In 1880 there was huge he'd of
them discovered on the Great South Ray
No one needed the oysters and they
were allowed to work out. Ten wears
later Dutch schooner trading from Vir
ginia was allowed to take a load back 10
Virginia. where the cargo was planted
and in a few years had grown TO large
proportions. But the beds were ne
elected.
Now, down this way the story goes
that the Indians were eating oysters
when Capt. John Smith sailed the
Chesapeake and its tributaries. Sites
Of Indian villages right here along
the Rappahannock are located by
the U. S. corps from the piles of
oyster shells, now covered under the
debris of centuries. But of course
New York and the. Dutch claim
credit for everything except the Bos-
ton Tea party and the introduction
of African slavery. Let them have
the oyster, too, if they want it.

THE NEGRO AND wHIsKEY


There is much speculation as to
what effect temperance would have
upon the negro race. We have liquor
people in this county who maintain
that wbiskey' is the only thing that
keeps the negro down; that but for
the barrooms in the past the negro
would have owned a big share of the
property in this county, to the
detriment of the whites. Such a view
is far-fetched; in fact there is only
a grain of reason in il. Undoubtedly
the negro would have owned more
property here but for the baneful
influence of whiskey, but that it
would have Injured to the detriment
Of the white race we cannot see.
Nowhere that the negro thrives does
the white correspcndiugly suffer,
unless it be in some I'm known quarter
where all or nearly all of the popula-
ton is black. To the contrary, when
a negro becomes property holder
he becomes a better citizen; when
bettered as citizen he pays his debts,
works for the advancement of his
locality and is not found engaging
in lawless acts. A recent item in
the Religious Herald sums up this
last in good shape, and shows us a
new phase of the whiskey problem
and why we should seek to put il
away from the negro. The item reads:
"The presence of the negro, aside from
other reasons, makes It necessary for Us
to do away with the saloon in Virginia
Under the fairest conditions this race, SO
clogged by appetite and passion, finds II
difficult to get on well In the world; and
when the negro is exposed on every
hand to the strong temptations OF the
saloon he often proves unruly, both as q
workman and as a citizen. Our duty to
the negro demands that we shut up the
saloon, with its varied indictments to vice
and crime"

Battle of The Crater.

Last week the gallant survivors of
Mahone's Brigade met in annual re-
union at Petersburg where the bri-
gade made undying history in its
battle of the crater during the civil
war. The manoeuvres were repeated.
The Richmond Howitzers and Blues
represented the Federal troops, .oc-
cupying the crater hill. Mahone's
survivors, with Confederate battle
flag, charged up the hill, as of forty
years ago, supported by the 71st reg
iment. Twenty thousand spectators
witnessed the dashing charge. Amid
cheers and tears the old battle flag
of the 44th, baptized in the conflict
of fonr years and torn to shreds by
bullets, waved once more in battle,
but on. a bloodless field.

WHAT THE ELECTION MEANS.

"A careful digest of the recent cleo
ton results in our State more than
ever convince us that the primary is
very unpopular thing. This may
arise from the fact that it is a new
thing and the people did not like to
brush up against it at first sight. To
say that the viva voce feature was
the chief objection lacks confirm
alton. But even if so, it is settled
pretty conclusively that without that
feature the primary would be a howl
ing farce. Partisanry does away
with all shadow of fairness where
the.primary is in the control of one
sfde-which must be the case so, long
as factions exist.
The Democratic party it Virginia
is fast drifting into state of in
nocuous desuetude-or apathy, more
plainly termed-so far as the rank
and file is concerned. Those who
deal in politics as a business will
more or less continue to hang around
the carcass, though the Barksdale
pure election law has pretty well
denuded the skeleton. The party
has lost, taken all in all, throughout
the State. Republicans, indepen-
dents, and even a negro, have won
where they have not before since
Readjuster times. Very aptly the
Norfolk Landmark asks: "Is the
Democratic party organization break
ing up?" Its conclusions are drawn
from different premises-that of dis
loyalty to party organization-but re.
suits tend the same way. The Land
mark despairs because Gin three or
four counties in this State the local or
ganization of the Democratic party
has openly defied the rulings of the
central organization of the State"
Let us take the conditions as a
warning. The Independent is but
one step from the Republican ranks,
aud from his element the national
Republican party has hopes of build
d ing up white Republican party in
the South.
Speaking of the small vote, the
general apathy and dissatisfaction,
as shown from last weeks election,
the Fredericksburg Star, a strong
Democratic paper, sounds the follow
ing lament:
~ How much the primary and viva voce
plans had to do with these conditions
We do not know, and possibly it would
be difficult to ascertain. But we feel
confident that we have not in the past
had an experience similar TO the presen,
one, even when candidates were put in
!. the field by the so-called Court House
e rings. And we might add that the con.
dition Of things is the more humiliating
to the party, following as It does the
elimination of such a large opposition
vote under the new constitution, and
tho adoption OF the primary plan, by
which every voter could express his
; preference at the polls as to who should
: represent him and who should admins.
!. ter public affairs for him. And then, to
remove that vote from any suspicion of
fraud or improper influence, the viva
voce plan was adopted, yet we hear from
various parts of the State that defeat
comes from apathy, and apathy in many
instances comes from frauds at the pri-
mary, either in the voting or the use of
improper influences at the polls. Yet
all we can do now is to deeply regret the
present conditions and endeavor to do
our duty in the future.
