Nothing short of a primary will
satisfy the people as to the mode
of selecting candidates this fall.
The candidates should get togeth-
or and agree upon the kind
of primary they most desire, and
then come before the committee
and ask its adoption. No short
cuts will be cOuntenanced by the
people or the committee. We be-
Jieye the Democrats of ROckbridge
want primary that will allow ev-
cry voter to say who are his choice
for the offices. The time is long
and the field wide. Every Demo
crat should take lively interest
IN his party's primary, for the
nominees are certain to be elected,
and hence will serve as your off,

TO REVISE AND CODIFY

1t was announced Saturday tina
the committee of the General AS
sembly to revise and codify tn
laws of the new Constitution, ant
report the same to an adjourned
session on November 10th next, hal
been completed. 1t is a body o.
strong men, who will do their work
well, and is as follows: On the
part of the Senate, Messrs. C. Hard
ing Walker of Northumberland
William Hodges Mann, of Motto
way, and George Wayne Anderson
of Richmond city. On the part OF
the House, Messrs. Richard b. Da-
Wis of Petersburg; William H,
Boaz of Albemarle, and James r.
Cation of Alexandria.
The resolution under which the
commission will act, permits the
members to sit in Richmond or
elsewhere in the State. They will
be allowed to parcel out the vari-
Gus subjects, and to do much of
the preliminary work at their
homes.
Senator Walker, whose name is
first on the Senate list, is a man EN-
inently fitted for work involving
nice details. He is splendid law
yer, and was an able and valuable
member of the Constitutional Con-
vention.
Judge William Hodges Mann is
well-known throughout the State
as lawyer and legislator, and his
ability for the peculiar work as
signed him is recognized every
where.
The appointment of Senator
George Wayne Anderson is con-
sidered all admirable one. He has
served in both branches of the Leg
islature, and is one of the most
careful, intelligent and painstak-
ing of all the members Of the up
per branch of the present body.
Colonel James h. Caton's APP
pointment is regarded as a splen-
did one. He is serving his first
term in the House, but has taken
high rank as legislator.
Hon. Richard B. Davis of Pc
tersburg, heads the list on the
House side. He is regarded as
the ablest lawyer in the body. His
Legislative experience is wide, he
having served his people long
with distinction in the General
Assembly back in this '70's.
The speaker could have made
no stronger appointment than that
of Hon. w. H. BOaz of Albemarle.
He has become landmark in the
Legislature, and was an able leader
in the Constitutional Convention,
having served with distinction on
the Final Revision Committee of |
that body.

Wheat has Wintered Well.

The Agricultural Department.
monthly crop bulletin for wheat
crop reports says that from all
sections indicate that winter
wheat is in very promising con-
dition generally. The crop has
wintered well and is now making
vigorous growth in all sections.
Too rank growth is reported from
limited areas in Kentucky and
some damage by water on lowlands
in Maryland and the lower Ohio
and central Mississippi valleys.
Fall sown oats are making vigorous
growth in the Southern States,
and with excellent prospects,
although seriously damaged by lice
in some portions of SouthCarolins.
Very little corn has been planted
north of the Gulf States, and while
the bulk of the crop is planted in
Florida and planting is general in
Texas, it has been greatly delayed
by excessive moisture and is son
fined, as a rule, to the uplands.
Where the early planted is up the
stand is fair to good, and in eX-
tren e Southern Texas is receiving
its first cultivation.

OUR PRECIOUS METALS.
The Output Of Copper Far In ExcesS
Of Gold Daring the
Year 1901.

What are our precious metals
Gold and silver" you answer. That
depends. II by preciousness is meant
the value Of the product in dollars and
centsour golden rule Of measure
ment--then gold and silver are not
the precious metals, according to the
recently issued report of the United
States geological survey. which gives
us the money value of products wrest-
ed from the earth's dark laboratory in
1901. says the New York Herald.
The gold, the precious yellow metal.
poured from natures crucibIe in this
land last year is valued at s7s,0o0, 90,
and il to this we add the metal value
of the silver we have Sill ,o00, 900. But
what Is that compared with the pig
iron product of the same time, which
is valued at $241 200, 600? The iron
production is more precious than the
gold and silver combined by $50, 0,o0o.-
900.
Modest copper. Indian complex
ioned copper. can put the oriental
hued gold to the blush. for last year
1t enriched us in the sum Of ss7 ,0o0. 600.
$4,000 more than the value Of the
yellow metal. Even the base lead that
was mined is one-third the value of
the gold.
When we get to the minerals used
for structural purposes gold and sill
yer are again distanced. for the build
ing stone, clay and cements that were
launched by us into the channels of
commerce in 1901 are valued at $751;
100000. The gold and silver produced
in the same time was ST. .000, 900 short
of being enough to purchase this out
put.
When we go little deeper and meas
ure the value of the coal, petroleum
and natural gas that was purIoined
from beneath the fruitful breast of
Mother Earth we find its value four
times that of all the gold and silver
taken from the same treasure house
in the same time.
Gold aud silver may dazzle us With.
their brightness and charm us with
their nimbleness, but in preciousness
measured by worth of production and
real usefulness they sink by their own
gravity to the bottom of the list of
minerals.

ORATORS or TWO NATIONS;


The men who enter parliament and
tho men whom you find on platforms
have for the most part received the
best education that England can sup
ply. They are. therefore, naturally
disposed toward fairly high stand
ard of oratory, stately and digni-
fled standard, at any rate. Also, they
come to close quarters with their
subject. Their speeches are packed
full OF meat. They excel in concrete
precise work. and are not afraid of
dry details. They rarely generalize,
and one may say they are never
forid or bombastic, says Harper's
Weekly. They have strong turn.
for exposition, and like to hammer
things out. They are naturally didac-
tic. All Englishmen are. II they are
not preaching themselves, they like
to listen to some one who is. 1t is
habit not without its unfortunate
side. It leads Englishmen at times
70 address an audience as though
they were professors lecturing 2
class. One detects IN some Of them
note of pomposity or condescension
that Americans would not stand for
moment, any more than English-
men would stand tempestuous fury
Of the Bourke Cochran species. They
have not the ficxibility OF French
orators. and are nothing like SO well
yersed in the mechanics Of their
craft as Americans. The latter feel
the pulse of their audience more ex-
actly, are more quickly sensitive,
and. being in absolute sympathy
with those in front of them, have
freshness and ease and colloquial
persuasiyeness that Englishmen rare
ly master. Their touch. too. IS light
er and more deft. On the other
hand, English speakers are more re-
strained and possibly more thought
full; they are much more intent on
reason and argument than on
defamation. But as they mostly
have the national habit of spelling
sound ideas by prosy and pointless
way Of putting them, this does not
count so heavily in their favor as it
should. I have sat under scores OF
orators in both countries, and my
general impression is that English
men give you more and entertain
you less. You run considerable risk
OF being Instructed at an English meet
ling and more Of being bored. In
America there is not much danger
OF either fate-none at all, indeed, Of
the latter.
