SPOT HARD TO LoCATE.

q
When the shaft had been carved out
and was ready to be put In place the
gentlemen had rather a difficult task Of
locating the spot where Stuart would have
fallen had not Major Venable and those
around him caught him and held him on
his horse until he was taken from the
field and placed in an ambulance and
brought to Richmond. Finally q spot was
agreed upon, and tho monument stands
there to-day. Those around Stuart saved
him the modification Of falling where
the soldiers Of the other side could see
him. He was glad OF this to the hour of
his death. Major Venable and others
about him saw that he was shot. and IN
an instant were at his SIDE Two men
riding by his side put their arms in his.
and thus his horse was walked from the
field. When Mechanicsvile was reached
the wounded man was put In an ambu-
lance and brought to Richmond. Major
Venable was with him and held his hand
when he died.

In all other parts Of Virginia is greatly
retarded by the baneful influence OF the
activity OF colleges and other so-called
higher institutions OF low grade In
purloining pupils from the high schools.
These institutions having practically no
entrance requirement. are able to enter
students in their freshman classes who
have barely taken one years work above
the grammar grades. It Is fault Of HUI
man nature to take short out and the
parents will, in the ajority of cases,
prefer to have their sons in Colleges"
or their daughters In "seminarles' than
3 to have them at the public school when
they sec that 1t Is possible to have them
at "higher" institutions. Thus the high
schools are retarded in their develop
ment by losing pupils every year from
their high school grades.
Educational activity. however, address
cd toward this obstacle in particular Is
already beginning to have its effect. Su-
porintendent Joynes has adopted the pol
Icy of consolidation of schools, making
possible better paid and better prepared
teachers and causing the people to take
an interest and pride in having schools
With higher branches In their own pnr-
ttcular localities The first high school
with ten grades was established in 1900,
and another in 1909, Within another year
or two Is intended that two more high
schools will be developed fully up to tho
mark OF the present ones. Besides these
high schools, the consolidation OF one
teacher school Is making possible graded
schools having from one or two high
school grades In addition to the grammar
grades. At present there are nineteen
such schools and the total number OF
schools has been diminished from one
hundred and Arty-three and one hundred
and forty-two by means OF this method
Of Capitalization of educational power
Secondary education In Accomac coun-
ty, however, Is hut an Illustration OF
the possibilities In this particular direo-
tlon that are now more than ever before
present In every rural county or Virginia,
The movement for making possible Il
higher as we'll as q more thorough edu-
cation for the masses needs of course no
justification. But the making this grand
possibility an actually Is duty resting
not only upon tho county slperntendents
but upon the legislators and the higher
institutions rs we'll. It demands u broad
minded and unselhsh policy on tho part
OF all.

She was subject to heart disease.
This was the only casualty, but many
of this l40 guests escaped from the dining

They lost their baggage, clothes and some
lost their money.
The wire in the hotel burned so that
there was no means OF sending tele-
graphic news to the world outside TIL
early this morning. when telegraph ope-
rator walked many miles to the nearest
station to send news Of the distress of
the victims of the fire.
The building was q large. old frame
structure, hence It burned rapidly, and
was enveloped In flames quickly The
fires origin is unknown. but Is supposed
to have been the result of lighting a
match near a can Of gasoline. The loss
is estimated at $4,000, with $3.50 IN
surance on Mr.. loves furniture.
The guests went to Elizabeth City NY

FARMERS AND DEMOCRACY.

Several days ago. In referring to the
effort which Ex-Governor Hogg, of Texas,
has boon making to organize the farmers
of that State, "for political purposes"
and otherwise. we expressed the opinion
that any farmers organization for poll
teal purposes would be sure to fall of its
own weight The Danv!lle Register re-
produces a paragraph from this article
and expresses the opinion that we have
given a good reason why the farmers
should organize. seeing that men in other
branches of industry are organizing for
their protection. "As surely as we have
tariff wall around favored lot of
industries" says the Register, "and a
practical application OF the theory of so
called protection. Just SO sure is 1t that.
industrislly considered, equal rights no
longer exist In this republic and special
privileges have been installed. No de-
pariment OF industry in the country is
, more consp!cuously Yictimized by this
discrimination than the farming inter-
ests."
We have not said that the farmers
should not fight class legislation. and
especially the tariff. We have only tried to
show that two wrongs cannot make a
right. and that the way for the farmers
to fight class legislation Is to fight 1t and
not to advocate class legislation for them
selves as an offset, II the farmers or
gaa,xe and go in for legislaton peculiarly
Ia their favor, they concede that clasi
legislation Is right, and they eanno,
complain of such legislation enacted II
the interests of otksrs. The farmers
should fight class legislation OF ever,
