An Ideal Home and an ap-to-
date Farmer.

The editor Of the Pennington
News tells In the last issue of that
paper of an interesting visit to the
home Oft. B. Chandler, q farmer
residing three miles east of Farm
ington. The article is illustrated
with a good picture Of his residence
and family, and says Mr.. Chandler
marketed this year over HOO water
melons, some of which weighed as
much as So pounds each. He has
only 40 acres Of land in his farm,
but every foot Of it is in the highest
possible state Of cultivation. His
theory is not how many acres, but
how much per acre. We believe he
could handle more acres successfully
but he certainly does handle the
forty be has to perfection. In bis
vineyard he has "a different kinds Of
grapes and in his orchard Q good as
sortment of the best varieties. He
was a pioneerin Unsuccessful grow

ty, just as bic is now in the growing

John Sherman.

MF. Sherman cared nothing for
the aesthetic and sentimental. Mu'
sic, poetry, painting, sculpture and
the beauties of nature had no
charms for him. He regarded ev.
erything from the practical and ma
terial standpoint, and when looking
at the falls of Niagara would have
thought more Of utilizing the water
power than Of the majestic rush of
the maddened river. He was hand
icapped by no vices and his self
control was perfect. When he ad-
dressed the Senate both sides Of the
chamber gave him the closest atten-
ton, because his speeches were al
ways logical and full Conformation.
He never spoke to the galleries, but
to the Senate, and what he said was
pertinent to the subject under con.
sideration. In one respect he diff
fered from the immense majority Of
his colleagues bynever noticing the
attacks of his enemies, no matter
how severe orunjust they might be,
/ heard him declare on one occa'
sion that the public man who per.
mitted himself to be placed on the
defensive was lost. Els did moi
pretend to have been consistent
and treated with contempt all as
saults upon his record.--Georgt

WHERE DOES CHOwNING
COME IN?

Ou next Saturday week, October
10th, the Democrats of Mathews and
Middlesex counties will be called up
ON to choose their standard bearer i'm
the contest for members of the House
OF Delegates to be voted for, and as
we verify believe elected, at the regu-
lar election in November. All the
Democrats of the two counties will
have a voice in the making of this
selection and it behooves them to use
it. Both of the two gentlemen who
are candidates for the nomination,
w. II. Lawson, of Middlesex, and
Geo. Y. Hunley, of Mathews, are
weli-known and have many friends.
In accordance with the requirements
ct the new party plan the nomina-
ton will be made by a primary elec-
ton in which all registered Demo.
Gratis will be allowed to vote. The
polls will be opened at sunrise at
every regular voting precinct ia the
two counties aud remain open until
sunset, and voters will indicate viva
v0ce the candidate for whom they
wish to vote. The candidate receiv-
ing a majority Of votes thus cast will!
be the Democratic nominee to be
voted for at the regular election. in
November, and all true Democrats
will give him their cordial and en-
thuslastic support. 1t is gratifying
to believe that there will be no sore.
ness or disaffeetion remaining when
the primary is over and there is no
need of caution from US on that
point But it is right and proper
that all Democrats should vote in
the primary, thus indicating their
zeal and interest in this important
matter. The campaign between
Messrs. Lawson and Hunley has been
conducted on high planes and both
candidates have shown themselves to
be fair and high-toned gentlemen.
The race between them will be close
and exciting, thus calling for earnest
and active support by their respective
friends. Let everybody go to the
polls and indicate their choice like
men.-SouthSide Sentinel.

THE PROPER SPIRIT.

From the Amherst NeD Era,

following. 1t has the right ring
about it, and must raise Judge Camp
bell somewhat in the opinion of even
his bitterest enemies.
TO Ny FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS:
Permit me to thank each of YOU for
your loyal support given me on the 18th.
which appreciate with gratitude. The
lace oil the returns show have 713 true
and loyal friends in Amherst-a fact am
proud OF. am temporarily beaten-but
not dead. ] accept the result as a man
and Democrat should. and ask each Of
you TO do likewise. i call upon each Of
you TO give DIR. Don Scott, my successful
opponent, cordial support on Nov. Ord,
which shall do. made NV fight on n
gentlemanly plane and prefer defeat rath-
er than to be called political coward.
Not one cent or a drop of whiskey did |
use to influence any voter. / close the
contest with i'll feeling towards no one
who fought me fairly--I recognize this is
n Tree country and 1 accord to Others the
same right l claim for myself-but am
grateful and willever remember the loyal
support and strong friendship OF each of
you: At present l shall give my close at
tention to my private and professional
business-at the same time will continue
to aid in buildingup my county as have
done in the past by advocating and
working Tor that which believe to be to
it's interest and the interest of our people.
1 am at home to each of you and God
grant that may never be charged with
peing an migrate; L have fought for my
honor and your honor and interests, and
shall continue to do SO. Again thanking
you, / am,
Yours to serve,

The opinion Of the State Corpo-

The opinion Of the State Corpo-
ration Commission, published in
full in another column, on the non
resident feature of the States oyster
farming, will be received generally
with satisfaction. While at times it
may be desirable and advantageous
to our people to have a certain
amount of nonresident capital in
vested with them-and this is en-
gagged in to certain extent-there
must be prohibitory laws to prevent
abuse of the ancient custom. To
the oSstermen the decision of the
new commission lends CLEAN of
hope out of the dark shadows now
confronting them, but to some who
may be interested with non-residents
a serious thought arises, that maybe
this commission has set a pace Of in +.
quiry that will not be at all healthy
for such operators. How far the
new commission may enquire into
the personnel of corporate bodies en-
gagged in fishing and oystering will
be watched with great interest.
