the PaIl Mall Gazette Chancellor of
the. Exchequer Richie is likely to abol-
ish the grain tax in4the forthcoming

The farmers of Nelson county have
discovered that crows instead of be
ing a curse are blessing to them.
They arrived at that conclusion q
few days ago in finding cut worms,
the greatest enemy to young corn, in
the craw of crows killed by them,
and not a grain of corn in them as
they expected to find when the in
vestigation was made. The story, il
true, shows how unjust the farmers
have been in their dealing with crows
in the past and that they must now
make amends by giving them the
liberty of the corn field unmolested,
1t might be well for the farmers Of
other counties to investigate the
truth of the story, An examination
of few craws seems to be all that il
necessary to convince them, whether
or not they have been just to thu
crows in treating them as corn thievel
in the past.

The Barksdale pure election bill
went into effect at noon on Wednes
day.and in accordance with the pro-
visions of that statute it will be a
flagrant violation Of the law to spend
money in elections, primaries or con-
ventions in Virginia in the future.
Each candidate for Office being re-
quired by the law to file sworn
statement of his expenses with the
proper officers of the law, no one
with proper regard for his oath and
a decent respect for public opinion
can, of course, afford to run counter
to it, however eager his thirst may
be for office, and it is to be hoped,
that candidates who would submit q
false statement of their expenses will
be regarded so unworthy, that they
cannot be elected to any office. The
new law must go very far to purify
election methods in the State If it
does not entirely destroy the old GUS
tom of spending money on voters.

Candidates Cards.

To the Voters of AccOmack County:
desire to remind you of the fact, that am
still candidate for the Office of Sheriff OF TINS
county, subject to the decision of the Demo
cratic party in making nominations. IT is use,
less to remind you also, that four years ago
spent both time and money in trying 10 secure
the same place, but failed to get there Neither
did get there when appointment was TO be
made TO fill the vacancy caused by the deatn
of MIR. Gunter. | therefore have no official
record, for which to Justify myself in asking
your support, but should l be fortunate
enough to win in the coming election, when
the voters of the whole county Will have
voice. surely 1 will try Just as hard to please
YOU and to do my duty as would, had COM
bination of circumstances placed me in posi-
ton to successfully swipe a seldom slice o.
political pie, furnished by the solitary souno
of single voice, shortly after the close OF I
three cOrnered campaign, in which dld no.
care TO enter. However, am now, as hereto
fore, willing to leave the matter with th'
voters. and will bow submissively to their de
cision.
Very truly,

Chief Justice Alton B. Parker Oh
New York, more prominently mem
toned in connection with the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency
than any other man in the country
is in the South and was given pub
lie reception at Atlanta, Georgia, on
Wednesday. The Legislature took a
recess of half an hour for meeting
the distinguished visitor, and during
that time, though he talked Win
many of the most prominent men Of
Georgia, who declared, that they
hoped he would be the next Fresl
dent of the United States and was
greeted by some as "Our pext Presl
dent no expression was given oy
him as to his political aspirations,ano
if candidate for the Democratic
nomination in 1904 it is known &c
only a few of his intimate friends
That his visit to Georgia has any
nohtical significance he positively
denies. On the contrary he says witt
emphasis, "that be is there only tC
address the Bar Association OF thai
State and will confine himself abso'
lutely to questions relating to tn'
law and collateral matters" HI
modesty in the matter, however, mo-
only during his visit to the Soutf
but ever since his name has oeel
mentioned IN connection with Inc
Presidency, seems to have helped IN
stead Of injuring his prospects lol
the nomination.
His fitness as the chief magistrate
of the nation is not questioned. Hi
silence in the matter ard disposition
"to let the Office seek the man" hal
gone very far towards impressing the
people of the country with the con
viction, that he is the man for thu
place.
