we Anaora In the unIted sta,s,.

The Angora industry has now been
successfully growing In the United
States for more than forty years. The
early breeders worked hard with few
imported animals. and by crossing and
recrossing with tho common Mexican
goat of the West. the American An.
CORA nocks have grown from nothing
10 their present number OF about four
hundred thousand animals. Tho ob.
stacles which the early breeders had
to overcome were appalling; weak
men would have fallen by the wayslde.
but these sturdy pioneers saw that
some day the Angora goat would be a
power In the live stock interests of
the United States. so they persevered
and you are beginning TO feel the I'm.
petus OF tho growing movement. Our
association now numbers 425 mem.
hers. and the value OF our nocks
reaches into tho millions. there being
moro than forty thousand Angoras on
our association records. We have
sufficient foundation stock TO proceed
with, thanks 20 the years OF patient
work of the Angora pioneers, and. as

THE DAVIS ARCH.

1JnouestIonably 1t Is difficult thing
to find n monument design suitable 10 the
life. position, achievements and sacrifices
Of president Davis.
There has always been opposition to the
arch scheme. An equestrian statue, so
heartily advocated by some. is deemed
radically unsuitable by others Nor does
tho standing figure over Mr.. Davis grave
in Hollywood meet with public approval.
A great memorial building in Monroe
Park was once much favored, but after
the cornerstone Of 1t had been laid the
undertaking was found to be too expen-
sive, and 1t was abandoned.
First and last. hundreds OF dollars
have been spent in giving prizes for de-
signs that were never used. And now II
seems probable that the whole question
of design and site may be reopened! a
decision of that two-fold question, we
take 1t, is practically With the Davis
Monument Committee of the Daughters
of the Confederacy, which has us us
adjunct an advisory board OF veterans
Tho leadership in this matter was en-
trusted to the Daughters and their COM
,n,ttees. They have made q monument
,posslble and whatever new movement
ia TO be made should emanate from them.
This committee is not q Richmond COM
mittce nor Virginia committee but
one that represents all the States OF the
Confederacy.
That there is to DO renewed discussion
and possible reconsideration. we are con-
6dent. but let it be thoughtful and dig
nitied, and let the position OF the Daugh-
ters be kept in mind.

The Newport News Times Herald says:
We have never believed that the State.
would be justified In building additions
and putting patches on the old Capitol
building at Richmond. The entire build
ing ought to be- torn down and a modern
and sensible structure put in Its place.
If there Is single redeemlng feature
about the old building 1t has escaped us,
and we have seen 1t several times at
that.
Tho Norfolk vlrglntan Pilot presumes
as follows:
Senators Aldrch, Allison, Plat and
Spooner are to meet up at Hot Springs
this week and formulate another finance
bin on the lines Of the Aldrich bill. The
presumption Is that Wall Street needs

1be Petersburg 1nde1-Appeal also
comes out boldly and says:
II "Mr. Cleveland stands a head and
shoulders above any other Democrat in
the United States" and we believe he
does, would 1t not be safer to make as
surance douby sure by RELOCATING
smaller men to the rear and putting for
ward the biggest man we have to make
the fight?
On the other hand, the Charlottesville
Progress says:
1t is, therefore, widening the breach
and doing injury to the party to boost
Mr.. Cleveland for the next President"
in the face Of the opposition OF Mr..
Bryan. who has tho greater right to
claim to represent the Democratic party.
Until the platform upon which he ran
for President Is repudiated. he does stand

COMMITTEE DECIDES
ABOUT BUILDING
Will Front on Sixth Street
and VIII Be Four Stories
High.

At a meeting held yesterday afternoon,
the Presbyterian Committee of Pubncar
ton decided definitely TO proceed with
out delay in the erection OF a handsome
four-story brick building on the Randolph
site at Sixth and Grace Streets.
For some time past tho committee has
had before 1t tho question OF new
home. but there were several important
details which have been unsettled. The
members could not decide definitely upon
just what sort of building to put up. and
Furthermore 1t has been an open question
whether II should front on Grace Street
or on Sixth. The committee got together
yesterday and finally settled these things.
Plans were called for and 1t Is expected
that tho actual work OF construction will
begin at once.
The new building Will face on Sixth
Street, and will be distinguished with
n particularly handsome front. It will
be four stories high and will be specially
adapted to tho needs of tho committee,
Tho cost is not positively known, but II
is expected to approximate $4,000.

tions by which It makes money. Its rev
enues are derived from taxation. During
the war with Spain the government hao
to raise additional revenue to MAINTAIN
its army, and navy and carry on its OPP
erations. The revenue was raised IN large
part by the stamp tax. and 1t is true that
tho tax was not very burdensome, but IT
was none the less a tax, and the people
paid It
1t would be the same Il the government
undertook to build highways 1t wouid
levy an additional tax upon the people,
and the people would have to pay 1t.
Therefore, 1t is simpler and better TOT
the people of each community to tax
themselves and to build roads to SUIT
themselves In this way no fundamental
principle of government will DO violated or
even strained and there will be no DIS
crimination. Each community VIII take
care Of its own affairs and build short
roads or long roads or poor roads or good
roads, according as It's own taxpayers
arc willing to pay the cost.

meeting of the Anti-saloon League since
the resolutions were adopted which ap-
peared In your paper, No such idea as

CLEVELAND OR ROOSEVELT i?

At Montgomery, Ala, on May 6th, a
& conference of white and colored Republ-
cans was held to consider the question
OF negro representation in the party. The
conference was called by certain ref
erees'' and adopted n plan, which, IN
effect, Is repudiation Of the action OF
the Birmingham Convention In barring
qualified negro voters from participation
in party affairs. Tho State Executive
y Committee will meet in Birmingham May
18th, when the new amalgamation OF the
negroes an dthe administration Republic
cans will attempt to capture the par
ty machinery. This IS Roosevelt's move
ment and, OF course. the President came
IN for great praise and loud applause.
On the Same day the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church held its new Eng
land Conference at Bridgeport, Conn.,
and an address was made by Rev. ). W.
Hood. OF Fayetteville, N. G., presiding
bishop. In which he took occasion 10
dissent from the views recently express
ed by Mr.. Cleveland that the settle
rnent OF the negro question should be
left to the South. He said that the ne
gro must have Federal protecuon. ana
that the recently enacted disfranchlse-
ment laws in the Southern States was
question of serious concern to the North.
Since Mr.. Cleveland's name has recent
" been mentioned for the presidency
sone of his opponents have said that
ha could not possibly get the Southern
vote in the National Convention. IL
seems to us that oil who entertain thar
view should take to heart these TWO
interesting Incidents. Mr.. Cleveland is
q blunt man, and whatever may be
/. said against him. he has never been ac-
/, .,.tss.d, of catering to voters or OF taxing
any stand for the sake Of policy. When
he made his famous speech on the ne
gro question In New York several weeks
ago. he said deliberately that the South
ern people should be left alone to :et-
tie the negro question in their own way,
and he meant what he said. II ne should
be elected to the presidency, there would
be no interference on the part o. the
administration in this matter OF South
ern concern.
But II we arc to have ano.hnr term
of Roosevelt. we shall have another term
OF meddling, for Mr.. Roosevelt Is de-
termined to recognize the negro In poll
tics, and has to all intents and purposes
said that he does not propose to draw
the color line either in politics or In the
social circle.
Therefore. we ask the Southern people
in all seriousness. which shall 1t be?
Cleveland or Roosevelt? 1t is fore
gone conclusion that Mr., Roosevelt Will
be nominated by . tho Republicans and
he viii DO elected IL the Democrats DO
not come together and put up a strong
man against him. Tho Democrats can
elect Mr.. Cleveland. II they Will only get
together and give him their united sup
port. II they elect him before his term
OF office shall expire, they will have set
tied the negro question in advance, so far
as 1t relates to politics; il Roosevelt is
again elected. they will have the ne
gro question intensified.

10 the time-honored principle that the gov

dainty supplied. Several years ago the
power at Roanoke Rapids, few miles
above Weldon. was developed and a
number of cotton factories have been
built and are in successful operation.
considerable settlement has also
sprung up at this point and Is rapidly
growing. It Is an ideal situation for
a manufacturing community and the

been so long in finding out the advan-
tages here offered for development. We'll
