HURT HIS FEELINGS.

my feelings when I heard you say to
put me under guardianship

when the people named were there 1
didn't say anything about the trust
deed to Cathcart; I thought you were
still on the bench; don't recollect any
thing said to Cathcart about getting
$75 a month, or about his giving
bond; don't remember you saying SIS
a month would be an outra geous sum

STANDS FOR HIMSELF.

Mr.. Humphreys then stated to the
court that throughout he would make
objections on his own behalf as he
deemed well, and silence on his part
was always to be considered as con-
sent to the admission of evidence.
Sumner identified the letter as one he
had written to his trustee, the Bishop
of Panopolis, instructing him to pay
money to the Ellises. Before the con-
tents were disclosed, Thompson object
ed that it was irrelevant as he never
until that moment knew of the exist
ence of such a letter. Acknowledgement

ing receipts from ]. S. Ellis, Victoria
Buffandeau and VIM. S. Ellis TO the
Bishop, by order of John K. Sumner
for $4,000 each, which We're in the
handwriting of Thompson and so ad-
mitted by him.
Mr.. Thompson argued there was
nothing in the receipts connecting him
with the letter. He admitted it was a
technical question but said: This is a
court of law and will not allow ev-
erything to slop in which Stops over"
Sumner, 10 a question suggested by
the Chief Justice, said that was the
only letter he wrote to the Bishop.

MAJORITY RULING.

Chief Justice Frear announced: THE
majority of the court rules that the
letter is not sufficiently connected"
Mr.. Andrews drew from the witness
the substance of the letter. Sumner

the three Ellises was given because he
wanted to pay them off and get rid of
them so that they would leave him
alone.

August 20 and saw his interrogation in
Highton's office. Thought Cathcart
was there, also the Ellises.
The Acknowledgement insisted the
cross examination should follow the
lines of the direct evidence. Respond
ents, if they chose, could put Sumner
on the stand for themselves. The court
allowed the question, to which witness
answered:
II didn't hear very well; heard you
say to put me under guardianship; 1
didn't agree to the deed, didn't say any,

As a Republican Leader Regards
His Party Nominees.

1t was former Governor, w. o.
Bradley, who, addressing the Re-
publican State Convention, said:

of gentlemen on the other side. |
remember this is Republican con-
vention. 1 want to see peace and
harmony in this convention. l
don't want to see firebrand cast
in any direction, but it is time for
us to be honest and square and
faithful and manly and to state the
truth. l warn you, my friends,
again and again. you cannot afford
to make yourselves a party to any
transaction which evens smells of
fraud. If you do, it matters not
who you nominate, your nominee
must and will be defeated. Be
cause we cannot go out upon the
stump in Kentucky preaching the
fraud of the other party with our
own garments spotted and dyed
with a fraud that is just as out
rageous as their.

The Winchester Meeting.

During the short contest for the
nomination for Governor and since
his nOminationcertain matters have
been discussed affecting Governor
Beckham and in criticism of his ad-
ministration. 1t is due to Governor
Beckham to say that in his speech
delivered at Winchester he meets
the charges and faces frankly and
fearlessly the accusations. He has
been criticized for the alleged mis-
use of the pardoning power. He
answered first by the sweeping dec
laration that he has granted no par
don for any personal or political
object, to obtain any personal or
political advantage. He may have
been deceived by those on whom he
relied, but IN each case he acted as
seemed to him proper and without
the slightest thought of any advan-
tage to him. If this be true-and
we will not contradict him, for he
alone can know the motives which
Induced him to act, and he is By
birth and life a gentleman and en-
titled to credence-then the entire
aspect of the discussion concerning
pardons issued by him is changed.
For many years our Governors have
been unduly loose in granting par
dons-it has been a growing evil.
But the constitution confdes TO the
Governor this power and we believe
it is best to thus confide it. There
may be corrupt use or abuse of
this power; there may be merely an
unwise and weak abuse of it. Gov
ernor Beckham pledges his person
al honor that there has been no cor
rupt use by him in any possible
meaning of the word corrupt" In
further response he alleges that his
immediate predecessors, Governors
Bradley and Brown, exercised this
power more frequently than he.
For one, we care very little, if at
all, whether Bradley, Brown or
Beckham pardoned the most in
number. This is not the test of
either the wisdom or the propriety
of pardons; and besides, it is no ex-
cuse for either that the other two
were sinners.-Morning Herald,
Sept. 9.

Seasons Best Toad Story.

This place has been visited with
a plague of toads as violent as thar
of frogs which afflicted the ancient
Egyptians. Thousands of reptiles
have come into the city. So troub-
lesome have they become that ner-
yons women refuse 10 leave their
homes, Eight cases of hysteria,
caused by ENHANCEMENT of toads in
women's clothes, have been treated
by doctors in three days. Five
women have stepped on the crea-
lures and sprsined knees and ank-
les.
DIR. Bapelin was forced yesterday
to drive his automobile into the
river to stop, as the toads had
jammed the levers of the car.
Another automobile, whose cog
wheels were so jammed with toads
that the machinery was stopped,
came to a standstill with such force
that the chauffeur was thrown out,
and would have been badly hurt
had he not fallen on a cushion of
toads.-Waukesha, Wis. Telegram

Farmers Tobacco Association

The failure of the Association to
get the financial backing it want
ed while not a surprise is great
misfortune. When the agricultur-
al interestst of a country are so
completely under the control of II
great trust, that the producer does
not get more than half his produce
is worth it is lamentable. From
the prices charged for the manu-
featured article the raw leaf should
sell at from twelve to fifteen cents
crop round.
From our view of the matter, the
farmers made a mistake in not
uniting with the commission mer-
chants in the fight against the
trust. While we are perfectly
aware of the fact that the ware
house has been charging more than
it is entitled to in selling tobacco,
still it is much better to lose two or
three dollars on hogshead than
to lose from twenty five to fifty
dollars a hogshead, which is about
the amount the trust is taking now.
But to our remedy as we see it..
When the blue grass country first
began the tobacco industry no to-
bacco was shipped at all, except in
keeping order. If landlord or ten
ant needed money before his tobac-
co was ready for sale the ware
house was only too glad to advance
the money at low rate of interest.
Money is much more plentiful at
the present time. The farmers, in
connection with the warehouses of
Louisville and Cincinnati, can un
doubtedly control the hurley tobac-
co crop, if they will work together
as one body. What will be the re
suit? The warehouses can sell to
the trust privately tobacco in lots
of one and two thousand hogsheads
at such prices that the farmer will
get his share of the profits in rails
ing the weed. This will require
that from two thirds to three
fourths of the crop will have to be
hung in the barn when it is cured
and put in keeping order. By do
ing this the farmer will get fifteen
cents for his crop where he now gets
six or seven cents. If the farmers
will continue their organization
and work with the warehouses they
can corner the present crop. 1t
will take quite a sum of money to
do this, but the plan is feasible and
will work. The farmer and the
warehouse must work together if
they expect to live, as the trust
will grind them both to dust, if
something is not done.

A Wise Selection.

Prof VIM. A. Bowlee, superinten-
dent of the Va. School for the Deaf
and the Blind, was on Wednesday
elected by the Senate one of the mem
bers of the State Board of Education.
There was strong competition for the
place on the part of the friends of those
suggested. and MIR. BOwles' selec tiOn
is high compliment to him, when it
is known that such well known educa
Tors as DIR. McBryde of the V. P. l.,
Gen. Shipp of the V. M. l., and Prof.
Jarman of the Farmville Normal.
were unsuccessful candidates. Prof.
Z. w. Kent of the University of Va i,
and President Lyon G. Tyler of Viii
liam s. Mary College, will be the able
collea CUES of Mr.. Bowles.
The friends of the defeated nominees
claimed that gentleman at the head
of a school for the education of mutes
and blind children would be hardly SO
well equipped for the position on the
State Board as some others. But they
were successfully met by the advocates
of Mr.. Bowles' selection by mere ref
erence to ais record as Principal of
the Richmond High school, and teacher
and superintendent of the StauntOn
Public schools, which reached such
high rank under his direction. Thus
both Stanton and Richmond share in
his hOnOrs. 1t is but justice to Mr..
Bowles to say that be made no scram-
BILE for the place and did not himself
take anactive part iDLthe contest for it.
